Dear Diary,

I'm sorry I left you for such a long time. I've been very busy, I lost thought of you. Work and other stress of life never gave me time to write here. I'm back now. So much has happened within the two months I left here. I relocated to a new state, Bauchi. A northern part of Nigeria in Africa for a short time, my senior sister got married and my twin left for school. It is not easy changing environment. That means changing water, changing culture and values, getting to see new faces and meeting new people with different orientation and different characters. Together with changes in food, dressing and language. For the one month I have spent in the state, I could tell that here feel safe for anyone to stay. I am currently learning a new language called the HAUSA language. Without the language, one can't mingle or do business with it's people. So, the first thing I did after settling was to learn the HAUSA language. Apart from learning the language, I learnt how to use kettle filled with water to wash my buttocks after using the toilet. I learnt to value and respect people's culture just as they value mine. Within this one month, I returned to camp for a duration of ten days. This was to complete our NYSC orientation camp programme after the pandemic dismantled everything and took everyone to a lockdown. It has not been easy but well as the saying goes, nothing good comes easy, I dwell on the wonderful experiences and let go of the bad ones. I have so many stories to tell, I will keep telling it bit by bit. Stay glue!

BY LOVING YOURSELF, YOU LOVE OTHERS

So it's been four months since I started working in a school in Calabar that has forty years of existence. A really old school whose facilities need maintenance. Chairs damaged, laboratory decay and everything in there looks so old. Then I wondered, what am I doing here? And I realized that I needed experience. I wanted to leave home so long as it is for learning. I learned. I saw how mismanagement can cause serious damage to a school. I saw how not treating teachers well or paying them on time could be a danger to school business. Especially changing teachers every time in school or teachers leaving a school due to ill treatment.  By loving yourself, you love others. When you love yourself, it becomes so easy to love others. It becomes easy to love your staff and pay them on time. It becomes so easy to treat people well. Elizabeth Diaries ❤️

Dear Diary, I come with so much to tell. I will tell you everything as I am your faithful girlfriend. Growing up, I had trust issues. I barely trusted my parents, so I couldn't trust anyone. I grew up to see the mess my father's bad friends and company brought us into. My father had many frienemies, not friends. They laughed, smiled, ate with him, squandered his money, but said badly of him at his absence. His friends never loved him, he was only used. His frienemies made decisions for him in his own home. My father never took my mother's advice. He said my mother was an illiterate. So, he clinged to his friends. He wasted half of his wealth on his friends and their dubious lives. My father's weakness was trusting people so much and giving his whole life to them. He never loved us, he gave all his love to strangers and neglected his family. They used him, they blackmailed him, they abused him, they messed him up. We as his family were part of the whole mess. This wa
