It was at the popular Harvest house christian center in Ibadan. It is my friend's church and she invited me , coincidentally it is the same church steemian @olawalium attends, I do not know if there were other steemians present but it was a wonderful gathering of young people.

Why did this concert make so much sense?

  • It is few days after valentine and love is still very much in the season. The songs rendered by the singers attested to this. Beautiful renditions that make you appreciate music.

  • There were talk sessions and listening to what the speakers had to say, I realized that I wasn't alone when it comes to relating terrible work experience.

One of the speakers mentioned how she had to work in a frustrating environment for over a year in Lagos without pay. In my own case, I worked for almost a year and I had never been more frustrated in my life. I got paid stipends actually but I was dying inside..I was too physically exhausted from working that I couldn't write or post on my blog. I was also emotionally exhausted from fighting of the hostile treatment I got from work having refused to compromise with any of my bosses. The same way the speaker knew the time had come for her to quit was the same way I knew I had to quit. I did the seemingly craziest thing then, I quit. You don't know how happy I am that I did.

  • Another speaker said something about committment and doing good... I don't know if something must have inspired it as a kid but I've grown to realize that I like to give my best to whatever I set out to do. As long as I'm interested..I'm totally in, even if there is no monetary gain for me. Like the speaker said, doing good, is good business.

Attending great programs such as a concert is good for relaxation and for growth all round.
I wish I can upload a video smiles

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I am so glad to see you and to notice you could relate to what was said and you learned too. It is always fun with you my dear.

Thanks dear.. na like say I come Ibadan because of you loool

That is how i want to think, so yes, you sure came because of me and i totally enjoyed it!!!

Since I started following you...have learnt alot from your blog....
Whatever you found yourself doing... do it with all your might.. Luther King Jnr once declared " if a man is called to be a streets sweeper,he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ' here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. "

Thanks a lot @joagawu
I really appreciate your words..

Well done ma'am, that was well written, I attended something similar yesterday and I'm already putting together a work on that, thanks for sharing.
