A must read before you check into 2021.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, no doubt. Merry Christmas in arrears Lovelies.

I assure you I didn't run away, school and exams happened.😁

I had no plans of making a blog post until next year but I knew that was me procrastinating again, so here I am guys.

During the week, I observed how negative people behave and I realized it robbed off on me in some ways. I found myself saying "This has got to be the 'dryest' holiday."

I asked myself why I loved this festive season so much as a kid. Was it because of the songs, the gifts, the mood of the festive period or just getting to see loved ones and spending time together? Hmm.

There's no doubt how challenging this year was for everyone. The corona virus which was accompanied with a lockdown affected relationships, businesses and institutions. However, we came out stronger, better and that is enough to be grateful. The festive season is all about gratitude and expressing love.

I'll quickly take you through 3 powerful key points I penned down.

1. Savings.

2. New year resolution.

3.What to do during this season.

1. Savings.

No matter how we spend during this period, we should know there's life after the celebration. Please do not use up all your savings, keep some aside as you celebrate. Save up for the remaining days.

2. New year resolution.

In as much as we write and talk about our new year resolution, if we don't put in effort it'll just be ink on paper and mere words. This time be more intentional. Do you want to start a business, career, blog, podcast? Go for it. That book, write it, that idea, put it to use.

You might want to cut off from a relationship that you know isn't good for you, do it. It's not enough to put it on social media and do nothing about it. Please make a move🙏

3. What to do during this season.

1. Have an attitude of gratitude.

2. Tell your family, friends and loved ones you love them and walk towards building a better relationship with them.

3. Have fun.

5. Be content.

6. Prepare for the next year.

Finally, this is the last blog post for the year😊 Thank you for taking out time out of your busy schedules to drop by and engage my posts. You deserve some accolades.🏆🏆

I wish you well Lovelies. Happy new year in advance and as always;

Aj Loves you💕

Here's what you should know about break ups.

Hello guys. Welcome to today's blog post. Today's topic is really a sensitive one and I'm certain you'll find a thing or two helpful. Please click on the subscribe button to notify you when I upload a new blog post, thank you so much. I think I've been running away from topics related to dating/relationships and break ups because I felt I wasn't worthy of talking about it since I have little experience there. Today's topic is a common one we've all heard of and might have experienced. In every relationship I believe there should be a common goal and reason for it. We all want a happy ending but what happens when things don't go as planned? A lot of persons blame themselves after a breakup they didn't initiate. I once asked a friend of mine what it felt like having your heart broken? She said it wasn't any different from poking your chest with a hard object till it hurts. Wow. Heartbreaks are indeed painful🤕 The pain ass...

Phobias you might never have heard of.

Fear they say is uncontrollable. Every human being is afraid of something one way or the other. The root cause is mainly traced to one's childhood. Is fear really? uncontrollable You'll find out as you keep reading. Phobia is an irrational or obsessive fear or anxiety, usually of or about something particular. Phobia could range from fear of water, dolls, insects, clowns and even adults. Usually, the source of these fears poses little or no danger. The difference between normal fear and phobia is the degree of anxiety involved. In this post, I'll be showing you some phobias you might never have heard of. 1. Nomophobia 'No MObile PHOne phoBIA' (Fear of being without your mobile phone) This is a psychological condition where half of the population suffers from this. According to a survey sponsored by SecurEnvoy, statistics showed that young adults and adolescents are more likely to suffer from Nomophobia. The same survey showed that 77% of the teenage...

Five things people notice about you!

"First impression is the last impression" they say. Hmmmn, while I do not agree with this one hundred percent, to some extent it is. You meet and interact with different people everyday. Sometimes, you easily connect with someone you are meeting for the first time and it feels like you've known each other for ages. However, that is not always the case. Have you ever caught someone staring at you for more than normal? Does it tickle your fancy? People stare at YOU for so many reasons. I have carefully penned down, FIVE picked out reasons people are staring at you. Stay with me as we check them out. The number one on my list is 'the shape of your head' 😄 I'm so sorry, that wasn't funny was it? Who stares at someone else's head anyways? Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm not but I'm not here to talk about the shape of our heads. Might as well discuss this later. Keep your fingers crossed.😁 Do people stare at you admirab...

Signs you’re giving someone else power over your life

Hi and welcome to my blog. As we all know, Nigeria is 61years old today. I’ll spare you the history as majority of us already know how we(Nigerians) Gained independence(Freedom) from the British empire on Oct 1st. I wanted my topic to sync with the independence theme so hence “Signs you’re giving someone else power over your life” Independence simply means the freedom from outside control or influence of others. Do you allow people make you do things you ordinarily do not want to do, do you get pressured into making decisions, do you allow other people influence the way you feel, act or the things you say negatively? You may be giving them power over you. Let me quickly take you through some of these signs. 1. You find it difficult to set boundaries. Perhaps you used to have certain rules and boundaries but somehow you no longer do, you just let anyone waltz in and out of your life, you give people the leverage over you on a platter of gold. You’re giving other...

Welcome to my Blog.

Hello guys, My name is Sarah Ajiri Ikogba. I'm from delta state, southern Nigeria. This is my first blog so you can call me a newbie😄 I've always enjoyed writing especially short stories. My friends do tell me I have a very creative and imaginative mind. I started writing stories in primary two. My Dad used to write short stories too, I would read some of his works and rewrite them into my own book although I'd change the names of the characters. It became a habit until I started writing stories on my own. As a blogger I will like to address some life issues in story form and document some of my thoughts. The major reason why I'm blogging is because I enjoy writing and getting people to read what I've written gives me great pleasure. AjiriSays is all about the thoughts of the 21st century young adult. I'll be posting about facts, misconceptions, fears, dreams, short stories, the-whys and so much more about us. The average young adults to...

Is saying “Sorry” really enough?

Hello, it’s me again. I know, I know. I disappeared🥺 There’s no excuse whatsoever because I had so many opportunities to post here. I’m sorry😂 just like my topic. Anyways, now on today's topic. Is saying “Sorry” really enough? Truth be told, the word “sorry” has been misused by a lot of persons, hence losing its value. Some people deliberately do whatever they wish to do and say anything because they know there’s a word like “sorry” hanging somewhere they can just yank off and present. “Heck, I’ll just apologize later” they say. Some even go to the extreme by saying “At least I apologized, that’s his/her problem” There are some wrongs you can right by saying a sincere apology like “I’m sorry” but when you deeply hurt someone, there are some steps you should follow when apologizing. That’s why you hear questions like “what exactly are you sorry for. How do I know you’re not just saying sorry. How am I sure you’re not just going to do it again? You see the averag...

A bucket list of bad habits to quit.

It's been what, two weeks? Oh wow, I've missed you guys so much. A lot of things snatched my attention for a while but I'm here now, all yours😆 Well, I tried fitting everything in here as a single blog post but it got too lenghty and I know how lenghty posts can be a turn off so I decided to split it into parts. Now, some of these things might not seem like a bad habit to you but trust me they are. Bad habits are basically things we do that keeps us from being our best, not so? I'm not going to go on about habits like binge drinking alcohol, smoking and the rest, my major aim is to talk about those simple things we probably might not have noticed before or don't pay much attention to. Here's my bucket list of bad habits to quit. 1. Boasting and bragging about not reading. It might seem cool when you hear statements like "Me and book are not one o" or "I'm not a fan of reading" most times when we say stuffs like this in publ...

Friendship FAQs

Friendship is that special relationship we have with the people we Love and cherish but there are certain Do’s and Dont’s involved that we sometimes ignore. Here are some frequently asked questions concerning friendship I will like to talk a bout. The answer is No. What if they’re in a toxic relationship? You ask. Honestly the only thing you can do on your path is advice and pray they listen. As the saying goes, The heart wants what it wants. If your friend doesn’t have the intentions and make the plans of quitting that relationship, there’s little you or anyone else can do. First of all, you should know your friends personality, are they overly introverted? If they are, they may see you always trying to get them out of their comfort zone as clingy or pushy. You may be the type of person who wants to hang out every time or call and do stuffs but your friend may be vice versa. Try to find a balance, except they only behave that way towards you, then they may be avoiding...

15 types of people you should never get into a relationship with.

Hello! Hello! Hello!!! Guess who's back with the relationship talk? Yep, moi. I've been itching to write about this topic(Types of people you should never get into a relationship with) for a while now. What I'll be listing down shortly are what we call "Red flags." What exactly are red flags? Red flags can be seen as a cue, warning, alert; a sign or signal that something is wrong. In reality, red flags are something to not be taken lightly because if you ignore them you'll regret later. Most times people kid themselves by saying stuffs like 'if you love someone these won't matter because they're just flaws and would probably fade after a while', these are lies, illusions they tell themselves maybe because they're scared of admiting the relationship is toxic. In a world where we can't read the minds of others, it's often times hard to predict or know what someone else thinks/feels about us. As humans we are curious to know certain t...

New year, new plans?

Le t me start by saying merry Christmas in arrears. I’ve been super pumped about this holiday and I’m certain you’ve had a tremendous experience, yes? Anyways, it’s the season of giving and I’m so excited to be writing the last blog post for 2021. This is an amazing time of the year and I want to use this medium to say a very big thank you to everyone who has engaged in this space since I started. Y’all are the real MVPs😘 I honestly didn’t want to sound cliche, that’s why I’m not going to start going on and on about resetting and implementing new goals and plans which is a very great thing to do, don’t get me wrong. Instead I’m here to advise you to focus on using 2022 to continue that great goal could be a business, a skill etc that you’ve got going. Rather than changing course entirely, put more effort into whatever good stuff you’ve got going. It should be a continuation rather than a reset . Most times a lot of us feel a new year should be about an entirely new thing w...
