NUDE EXPRESSIONS.

         Nudity is fast becoming a leading medium for people to express themselves and exercise their right to "freedom of expression". Culture and norms are also leading opposition to nudity. The point that nudity is a way we can express confidence in ourselves and we only fuel sexual deviances/crimes is not a new debate to us.
         Everyone in this debate seem to be correct because they have reasons to justify their beliefs about nudity. This triggers questions like; Is nudity the right way to express ourselves? Does covering up our body guarantee a good attitude? Are nudist sexual deviants ?
          We justify our criticism to nudity with the fact that it contradict our cultural and religious beliefs as well as norms but this reason is quickly intercepted with the fact that there are pictorial evidence of our people scantly clad in traditional wears, revealing outfits and adornment both in the past and present. This evidence has become a tool for nudist to label critics as hippocrites.

TEST TO JUDGE.

         Consistently, we find ourselves wanting to test the loyalty, love and support our loved ones have towards us. The "test" have become a sensitive topic that should be treated with caution.
         We believe that the only way to overcome our insecurity of trustworthiness of our loved ones is to plan a situation that will help us know the attitude and behaviour of our unsuspecting loved ones to the situation/scenario we have created.
         We have come to understand the true intentions of people around us by "testing them" and this would give us an insight on how to relate with them and gain understanding on their perception to an action.
         We have also witnessed broken friendship bonds, relationship ties have been severed when the response/ behaviour exhibited during our test is not acceptable to our values, beliefs and morals

WEB FAME FRENZY.

              Living in the "computer age" has rapidly become a necessity for our daily lives. The Internet has become the most rapid source for knowledge, interaction and even exchange of ideas and services.
           The internet has created opportunities for our services and ideas to be exhibited to the world . Simultaneously , the Internet and social medias have become an arena for people to gain fame, glamour and attention even at the expense of defaming the character of others.
         Our desire to be recognised globally have bred desperate and cruel people who would make spiteful comments on sensitive matters or even ignite conflicts just to get attention and fame. We may not necessarily support the view we are portraying and may not even understand the concept we bigotly support yet we vehemently refuse to correct our socially wrong concepts.

CRUCIFY OURS, REDEEM THEIRS.

          Nothing hastens up a conflict faster than when our people condemn us but praise another person for the action we have committed. This act of hypocrisy is firmly rooted within our society and it relies on our biased nature to grow.
            We deliberately try to obfuscate violation of rules & norms that strangers or people of diverse culture have indulged in yet lambaste people with the same cultural component as us. Examples ranges from condemning indigenous actor & praising foreign ones, condemning and crucifying nudity in our people but clamoring support for a “pitiful Stanger” and even shamelessly linking blames to the helpless/orphaned children around us but creating funds/support group for other children.

BE ASSERTIVE.

       It is not uncommon for us to feel unsure of our thoughts,actions and decisions. We say things like " What if I am wrong? , I don't think I can do this, Am not sure I can do this, Don't want people to know am the one". These actions and thoughts has become our undoing as well as preventing us from utilising our potential to its peak.
      Being sure and confident of one's self is very important since people want to associate with people and things that they can have a sense of guarantee that it is synthetic.
     When we become too sure and confident about ourselves can be dangerous too. When we set up a high standard of accountability of ourselves but deliver substandard services, innovations & plan as we have portrayed, people lose interest in us.

EMOTION CONFIDANT

     There is nothing more disappointing than realising a shared memory we hold so dear to us has been heard by unpermitted third party or even the public . It hurts to realise that a person we trusted with our memories has disappointed us even if the memory may seem insignificant to us.
      The desire to have power over the information we are willing to share about ourselves is undeniable and acknowledged by most of us. No matter how indifferent we may act to people's opinion, we still desire that feeling of security about our lives and activities.
     The increasing rate of betrayal of trust with information we share is responsible for hostility people exhibit to strangers . The fear of associating with people who may eventually reveal thoughts, values and memories we cherish has gradually influenced most of our decision to keep to ourselves and we are so obdurate to realise that being open can be beneficial or dangerous.

EQUALITY

        What does equality mean to you? Is it to have even distribution of facilities, opportunities and power shared amongst people? Or is it to get justification and suppoto when we indulge in acts that people of diverse culture have engaged in with no criticism?
       Equality has diverse meaning to each individual but do we really desire equality or superiority? We want both gender to have equal opportunities at work without discrimination yet we would solicit for lighter workload and equal paycheck for both genders.
      We want equality yet we are biased in judgement to offence committed to a gender claiming an action can only be wrong when a gender does this. A clear example is a fan girl running up the stage to hug or grab a male artists or athlete on the pitch ;this action will earn delight in the sight of most people but rapidly leads to lambaste & criticism if the gender involved were reversed.

WHO TO BLAME.

    The blame game is no news to our daily life activities. Whenever we find ourselves in an unpleasant situation, we seek to find the person or thing that caused it. When things fail or don't go as we planned, we vehemently refuse to accept that it may be due to our actions, instead we someone's interference to it.
     Linking blames can be beneficial if we can confront the person who interfered with our plans and explain why we feel they are responsible for it. Blames can be benefial if we have thoroughly analysed our disappointments & failures and we are only trying to identify the root cause of the disappointment so we can design a better plan.
      Alas!!! people don't  try to move on to a better plan after the disappointment. We usually seek to wallow in regrets and attribute our disappointments to a person or thing rather than strategising & engaging in a new plan.

LEGAL CRIMES.

     In the wake of school shootings, racial discrimination in justice, police stray bullets & shoot outs, individual possession of weapons, unjustified arrests, am sure we have all been analysing the validity of our law & it's justice in relation to crimes committed.
     The laws we  made has exposed us to danger, violence and discrimination. Law enforcement agencies are permitted under the law to whatever methods possible to bring people to justice which includes violence and shootings which are done erroneously to innocent people. This same legal system has helped us bring criminals as convicted by the law to justice with the strategy of disarming , car chase which has been a good thing. This brings us to the question that are our laws just or criminal & unjust?
