My experience through road transportation

 Four months ago my colleague died of a fatal motor accident. Nobody knew she would die that way, even when we heard the news, it was like a dream to everyone. During my service year, many corp members had accident. Some died, few sustained injuries. This became a trauma to all of us. We were all scared of traveling, but we had to travel to meet our families. We didn't have a choice. By road, Calabar to Bauchi was a two day journey. By air, through transit it was less than an hour. But the best experience is through road transportation. You get to see life, have fun, sleep at the park or hotel, spend few hours with people and you may die anyway due to the bad roads or fallen tankers and trucks. But when your thought focuses mainly on that, you won't enjoy the journey.

I saw quite a number of new and good roads. There are good roads at Ebonyi, Abia and Enugu. No potholes, no traffic congestion. The driving was really a smooth process. A journey of six hours, we ended up taking a whole day. Nasarawa and Benue really took our time. Nasarawa is like a country on its own and Benue is another country on its own. Such a far distance with their local government included. I often times called the driver to ask where we were because in some state, there were no sign board indicating the names of road and locations.

There are good roads and there are also bad roads. Good road makes you enjoy the journey, take pictures and tell a friend you travelled. Bad roads can make a pregnant woman miscarry her baby. It gives body pains and headaches that may prolong for a week.

Having a travel blog may be a fantastic thing to do. But the risk of traveling is so high and it's so traumatizing.

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
