National Irony

Did You Know

   . . .that Mujahid Asari Dokubo, the leader of the Southern Movement for Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and the most vocal enemy of the north, is a Muslim?
   That, is surely a National Irony. *smile

If you're not doing this, you are wrong

 10 WAYS TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
We’re told to “think outside the box” all the time, but how exactly do we do that? How do we develop the ability to confront problems in ways other than in ways we normally confront problems? How do we cultivate the ability to look at things differently from the way we typically look at things? Here are 11 ways to beef up your out-of-the-box thinking skills. Make an effort to push your thinking up to and beyond its limit every now and again
1.       Draw a picture
Visualizing a problem engages other modes of thinking that we don’t normally use, bringing you another creative boost.
2.       Turn it upside down
Turning something upside down, whether physically by flipping a piece of paper around or metaphorically by re-imagining it can help you see patterns that wouldn’t otherwise be apparent. Changing the orientation of things can hide the more obvious patterns and make other patterns emerge.
3.       Invite randomness
Embracing mistakes and incorporating them into your projects, developing strategies that allow for random input, working amid chaotic juxtapositions of sound and form – all of these can help to move beyond everyday patterns of thinking into the sublime.

Where is the Elephant

Old School
We miss seeing this our favorite detergent. Anybody knows what happened to it?
#BringBackOurGirls
This is unarguably the most popular worldwide campaign to have sprung up from Nigeria. Unfortunately, it isn't a feat for which the country should be particularly proud about. Our thoughts are with every one who this incident is affecting and we pray that the situation be resolved within the shortest possible time.

On the flip side though, how effective has this campaign been from your perspective?
