Choices.

It's another one and I am excited about these questions too. As I have said before, I see this as an opportunity to let people in into my kind of person, away from what they are used to reading about my posts. Let's get this over with as well.

Museum or Amusement park?

I know a lot of people are vested in antiques and so many things from the past and I get it. When we understand the past it helps us to appreciate the present, I understand but I am sorry, I am not the Museum kind of person. I just want to live in the moment while looking forward to better days. I want to look ahead with more optimism while appreciating the time now.

I once wrote on my life's series many months ago that life is also about fun. I can remember many years ago in Ibadan; Oyo State, Nigeria when my dad used to take me and my siblings with other family members to Trans Amusement Park. It was one of the fond memories I still cherish and hold so dear to my heart. I rode the cars, rode the planes and there were some I didn't do because they were risky, well...life is also about risk but I watched my brothers do those while I just enjoyed the view and nature around. It was one of the very few occasions I enjoyed having a crowd around.

Intelligent or funny?

Please, can I have both? I am a combination of both so it's natural for me to desire both. That's why I always "cut eyes" (look at people funnily) when they grab my jokes easily. I love intelligent and funny people and I can say I feel blessed to have both around me. If I were to choose though, I would pick intelligence. You might be cute but that doesn't make you funny but being intelligent would always have its appeal over anything else. I prefer being intelligent.

Freedom or hope?

I've lived in Nigeria all my life and I've always hoped things would get better... look at where we are...nothing seems to be working as fast as we wanted. Anyone can have hope but hope without effort would always remain a dream. Now, I've stopped hoping in Nigeria and I just want my freedom to get out of this country 😂🤣😂.

Jokes apart, I would go with freedom. I understand that freedom without a clear direction too is useless just as hope without work. I prefer freedom because I don't want to be boxed into a corner but rather allow my imagination to go wide and wild. Everything in me screams freedom. Speed is useless when a direction is lacking, so I would have to make my freedom count.

Success or happiness?

Whoever came up with this is not nice at all. How can I choose between these Important things? I know a lot of people can look "successful" in the eyes of everyone but they are not happy. I've always said that happiness is a state of mind. What is success to you might not mean that much to me. The question is, "In your pursuit of everything in life, are you happy?" That should be the end goal and I just want to be happy. I want to be happy while making others happy and to me, that's a success but the world's definition of success doesn't translate to happiness always.

Money or free time?

Have some free time? Okay? So what will my free time translate to? On this, I am not modest, please. I want money and more money. When souls are perishing and a lot of lives depend on me, what will I tell God I am using my free time to do? Watch Netflix? I'm not modest on this, I want money and more money... Leave the free time alone. When I grow my wealth and establish a lot of things to last for generations to come, I can take a step back and enjoy some free time but until then, we keep grinding.

Handmade gifts or expensive gifts?

I am a man of simple tastes. I love expensive things too but expensive things are a function of the value you place on them. I've rocked simple things and yet a lot of people thought they were expensive. I prefer handmade gifts as long as they are nice. I heard HIVE is handmade too, so please send them my way 😅😅🤣🤣😂😂😂😂.

Hunting or saving?

I would prefer to be saving. As fun as hunting sounds, I don't want to. This is why I stopped watching Nat Geo Wild and it angers me when I see the Lion hunt down prey. It's his nature and I know it's silly to hate the Lion for acting natural but that's why I would rather prefer saving.

Trip or staycation?

Janey has been tempting me to fancy trips based on her amazing pictures but I've always been the type that loves my space. On this one, staycation it is.
