What I call happiness

We all want to be happy in life, it is the ultimate goal of every human being in all their pursuits. Our definition of happiness starts out simple-minded parents, our friends, a warm meal at the end of the day. As we grow older, we start to realize that there are other things involved in achieving happiness. People, including your parents start to let you down, so your expectations change and you start to look for happiness in other things like money.

Money is the reason why we get an education in courses we are not passionate about and languish in jobs we hate. For most people, this is where it ends. They retire and spend the rest of their days adrift.

It doesn't have to be that way, though. There are those who have found contentment in the simplest things, or in the complexity of their passions. These are the ones who do not hesitate to say that they are happy.

Happiness, at the end of it all, should be looking back and finding no regrets. It should be knowing that you can live with the choices you have made, no matter the outcome. And knowing that those choices help to get the people we love to their own happiness.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins.

John XII: The Pope who turned the Vatican to a Whorehouse

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
