TARA TALK TALK

On a certain chilly cold Monday morning in the month of December 2015, a day filled with the harmattan haze.                        While people were getting on with their day's job and trying to earn their pay, At Thomson Reuters, we decided not to conform to that rule.

I am in the business of telling stories to the world. I love my continent Africa and who best will tell its story better than those of it? Well, part of my job requires that I rove and search for news. News is generally defined as stories that are timely in nature, involving prominent people or a mass number of people, sometimes conflict, sometimes new, sometimes strange, and sometimes bad (they say it sells the most). Basically what people want to know, should know and need to know.

After a long wait of 6 months, Nigeria's President Mohammadu Buhari swore in his ministers and named the designated portfolio of his ministers earlier today. He appointed 25 official ministers and 11 State Ministers.

Hmmmmmm, plenty things are happening in this world of ours.  I know its impolite to eavesdrop on people's conversation however, some gists are too sweet to be ignored.  When was the last time you took a public mode of transport while moving around Lagos. I know the hustle is real and everyone is on a struggle to get a four wheeled drive but sometimes, the best experiences come from little things of life like the  humorous  conversations between a passenger and bus driver/conductor. I had my dose yesterday and I'll like to share the gist.

My first encounter with the alias 'Pinktober' was last year while I was working as a field reporter for a foreign media company at one of its base in Lagos, Nigeria. I was assigned to cover the annual Genevieve pink ball and write a script for broadcast about it. 

If there’s anything the social media has taught me, It is that most people especially millenials don’t know how to conduct themselves in public. You should understand that bad behaviour is only accepted when you are in your teens but as you grow out of your teen years and hit 20 somethings, you are expected to take responsibility for all your actions. It is almost imperative that you must begin to learn how to be confident, exude grace and self esteem.  I’ll like to share some life tips that will definitely help you boost your confidence level, improve your self esteem and relationships, and could possibly lead to more leadership positions.

I implore every woman to read this. It is a story of how a woman gets through her husband's infidelity and how she still stayed true to him.  It is going to come in series. So week after week, I'll share bits and pieces of her revelation. I hope you learn a thing or two from her account. You can check this for the last episode Enjoy!
