My early morning rituals at work

Working in a radio station can be fun and interesting, if you are creative.

However, it can be overwhelming and cumbersome, if you don't have a pre work morning ritual.

Y'all need to have what you do before work, to make work easy and fun.

As for me, before I hit the mic to spit out the morning vibes on radio, I snap funny pictures of me and laugh over them, for like 20 minutes.

The laughter goes a long way in making me feel less tensed and getting set for work.

So guys, what are your pre work rituals?

Please share

10. If you blow air inside a pencil sharpener, it won't sharpen pencils anymore.

11. If anyone jumps or crosses you while you're sitting or lying down on the floor, you will never grow tall again until the person repeats the process.

12. If your parents send you on an errand and you came back late, to escape floggīng or punishment, you need to tie together certain leaves in the bush.

Having just one source of income in Nigeria today, is a killer of destiny. Yes you heard me right!

Several years ago, when I newly started working as a newspaper journalist, I felt I had gotten to the peak of my career, as a mass communication professional.

In my mind, I knew I wanted to be a journalist at all cost, and was satisfied with the job.

I started working as a journalist and after four months, I got a promotion to become a columnist.

For those wondering how newspaper journalism works; you should be aware that becoming a columnist, was a step higher than being a reporter.

Being a columnist, meant you had mastered the art of writing as a journalist and was now a writer who rarely needed an editor.

And so, I became a columnist for five years and I was flying...But was I really doing well?

Well, I thought I was, until I started meeting other media colleagues, who were doing way better than I was.

When I became friends with these people, I realized that even though they had a main job, they also engaged in side jobs, to be able to climb the ladder faster.

Wow! This was an eye opener for me, and because of what they said, I made up my mind to test other aspects of the media, apart from newspaper journalism.

And so I began looking for ways to be featured in radio and television programs, as a a way of building myself up for the broadcast industry.

Those steps that I took then, gradually built me up, until I became confident enough to become a radio journalist.

Ever since I ventured into broadcast journalism, my income has increased and my visibility as a celebrated journalist, became easy.

So famz, can you share what made you realize you needed another side hustle? Share so others can be inspired by your story.

Movie location sets are always fun, when you are with people of like minds.

I remember when I wanted to produce "Let us pray", I was apprehensive and didn't feel it..

However, all that changed, when I ended up gathering a team of passionate film makers,who did everything within their power, to make my movie production a smooth journey.

What this has taught me, is that in life, like minds always work together to achieve greatness.

So in your filed of work, have you gotten like-minded people, who are making your job easy for you?

A letter to my lovely sisters

Dear ladies

I hope my letter meets you in good health and wealth.

Hope you all had a wonderful night rest? Good morning to you all and everything that concerns you.

It is with deep thoughts and prayers that I, Chekwube Adaba, write this letter to you. I wish to have a heart to heart discussion with you, and I pray you reason this letter through logic and not emotions.

I am sure y'all must have heard and read about the recent attacks on ladies in Rivers state and other parts of Nigeria?

You heard about the women who were attacked in a club house by a famous big man in Rivers state, right?

You must have also read about the lady who is currently battling with her health, after almost been killed by a married man she dated for 7 years, in Rivers state right?

Now, before I proceed, please I wish to state here that I condemn any form of violence against anybody; either male or female. I don't believe in shedding of blood to resolve matters and I will never believe so.

That been said, can we continue?

Okay, so sisters, I want to ask you a question.

When growing up, did anybody orientate you all that you can never make it in life, without the help of a man?

If yes, then please I beg of you to change this orientation, because it is what is causing all these recent violence against your gender.

In those days, women were taught to be beautiful and wait for a man to come and save them and their families from poverty! These days, men no longer want to be the prince in a shinning armour.

I can't believe that at this modern day, most some women still think they should not be working, but rather be looking for men to help them sort out financial issues.

I can't believe that these days, some women still allow men who are not family members, to train them through school or set up businesses for them.l, without getting a written or recorded agreement.

I can't believe that these days, women still view men as passports to a better life.

Women, we can do better. We should stop making my gender feel they are more than humans. We should learn to start taking our destiny into our own hands.

Truth be told, men of these days are no longer interested in spending money on women without getting anything in return. Men don't want to be the ones to save women from poverty, and to an extent, they have their reasons.

So any man who invests in a lady, wants a return and when he doesn't get it, he thinks up evil plans against the woman of interest.

Women, let us get out from our comfort zones, get a job and get a life.

Let us stop the begging and lust for men's money.

Men these days are not smiling, please stop showing them your 32, dear sisters.

And for the men, let us learn to either stop being benevolent to random women without an agreement in place, or be ready to let go whatever we do for women, despite whatever happens.

Your brother in love

Chekwube Adaba
