TO QUIT LIVING IN THE PAST

It was August 2014 and I was so tensed, I was reading a lot and learning as much. I was both afraid and happy but the fear got the hold of me and on that very day, I reflected on all the things I wrote on my blog, I saw how dangerous they were and that was the day I deleted my Complex Diary. It haunted me to this day so much so that it forced me into having to create the Diary of a Northern Boy. 

The truth is, I still have fears just like everyone else but fear no longer controls me. I know who I am now and I know what I want. I am no longer leaving in the past, I will not delete my blog again.

I wanted this to be the first post on this blog, I want you to know, although you probably never were on Complex Diary and maybe you were once there but knowing that will give you a clue as to what this blog is about.

This blog is about a northern boy, is that me? maybe yes or maybe no, the adventures he goes through while still being a boy from northern Nigeria.

So here is to my blog, the one I deleted, the one that was there with me during my hard times, the one I was with all through my school years, the one that made me pour all that I have got in words and pictures, this is for you.

"Dear blog, here we are, I have brought you back to life stop haunting me, I never killed you, my fear did.Sincerely, The Northern Boy"

GETTING CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Image
I can remember catching my brother Haruna watching pornographic clips although not red handed but I have seen it through his browser and download history. And I never made any move to stop him, not because I do watch porn as well but because I see it as a normal thing for a guy of his age. I mean, what do you expect of him? to not know that sex does happen?  It is the 21st century and everyone (or almost everyone) has access to the internet, unrestricted internet to be precise. So I let it slide, of course we don't discuss sex but I don't care what he does with his internet, I will only care if I bought the internet and it is being wasted. By the way he will be 21 by December so I think it is totally okay. Now I know there are those who will be like but it is not good religiously, forgetting that everything is not good as long as religion is concerned. I mean, whats good? NOTHING? Okay so today, my little brother Abbas, was caught red handed by me about to do same and...

THE FUTURE BELONGS TO YOU

Image
The future belongs to those who think. Its never too late to start thinking for yourself. You might think your time is over, but trust me it is not. The things we regret the most are the things we didn't do not the things we did. So its better to start doing more.  The world is full of Nay Sayers, people who will tell you you cant do this and that, always bring up a reason why you cant achieve your dreams. But you can do something, you can stop listening to them and if that is so hard to do, you can ignore them when they talk.  I believe there is nothing more important that believing in your self, figuring out what is it you want and planning vividly on how to achieve it. There is actually nothing more important. Plan your way to success, its not easy but with dedication and passion for what you do, you will succeed in the end. Success is sure for anyone who does what they love and dedicate themselves to it. As Henry Ford said, "a business dedicated to service will...

ABOUT LAST NIGHT

Image
Last night we had a long chat with Sman AKA Suleiman Aliyu Yaro. I love discussing with people after work. I guess maybe it has do with my workaholic attitude and my anti-social behavior. That sounds to me like an irony. I mean, an anti-social someone loving to talk to people only after work. Whats that? Hypocrisy? lol. We discussed various topics but the one we discussed at length was BOY-GIRL-RELATIONSHIP. Okay, It started when I showed him a leaked video of a Hausa girl showing off her naked boobs on a camera. He claimed to have known the girl or that she seemed familiar. Although he pleaded that I send the clip to his whatsapp I refused, then all of a sudden I remembered getting into trouble with clips like that. That took us to our lengthy gist about our relationships. I told him from A to Z the girls that got into my life. He was laughing and enjoying every bit of the story. He even suggested I write a book about it. I don't know if I can do that. I mean, I am n...
