As a child, I acted like a child, as a man I have also acted like a child. It's funny because even at my age, I still find it hard to believe I have grown. A lot of the time I still crave attention, I still wish someone would take me out and spend on me, I still wish someone would look at me and find me cute. I find myself craving the little things children enjoy but realizing that I am an adult and should be the one doing these things for others. A lot of the time it is tiring, so much that I just utter the words from a popular Nigerian song; “Adulthood is a scam”. When I think about it, it sounds like a scam. As a child I couldn't wait to grow up so I could be independent, now I'm independent and I wish I could be dependent again 😂.

I really give it to whoever came up with this prompt, that person must really be a genius. I mean thinking about a decentralized financial system and how that system would thrive alone is mind blowing. A lot of people might not fully be able to grasp the whole essence of this type of system and that includes me because I only understand to a limited degree. But even to the degree I understand, I know how much a lot of things would change. This change will affect the things we do, the policies that will be set up, and also expose a lot of secret government affairs knowing everything is now trackable and snakes won't be able to swallow the money allocated for government projects like they do in my country. A decentralized financial system doesn't just make life easier, it brings about accountability in every sector of our financial life.

My name is Cindy, and I am a living definition of the prodigal daughter. Unlike the famous prodigal son, I didn't just run away with my shares of the family's properties, I ran away with everything the family ever owned in order to fulfil my own ambition. I wanted to be a music artist. I thought my family did not understand me, I felt the whole world was against me. According to them, my rascal style of music doesn't suit me, but my boyfriend thought otherwise. So I listened to him, got influenced by him not realizing that I was fulfilling someone else's ambition instead of mine.

The issue I have with government policies is the same issue I have with any other policy and that is the implementation strategy. It’s very easy to make people do something, but how they do it will very much affect how they view the person making them do it. For example, If the government creates a no fighting policy and does nothing about the scarcity of basic needs that policy would look more like a trap than something meant to create order. And this is what we see a lot with not just the government but even individuals and organizations. The organization I work with for example has a no lateness policy but doesn’t have an overtime policy making me find that act selfish.

There was a time in my life when I was depressed simply because of my phone's battery capacity. It was so bad that I had changed the battery for up to 5 times in 6 months because the phone's IC (Integrated Circuit) was bad causing it to heat up so much that it affects the battery life. The depression came when I had an opportunity to buy a new phone or a cheap laptop and I chose the laptop instead, and regretted my choice. Buying the cheap laptop came with a whole lot of problems I never anticipated. The worst of all the problems I had with my laptop was how it would go off at 50% battery. After sometime it was more of a television because it goes off 5 minutes after disconnecting from power.

It's my dream to one day have kids of my own, whether biological or adopted. I aspire to one day train a human from infancy to the point of maturity, installing in them parts of myself with the hope that they grow up to be the very best they can be. I think there's a really good chance that I will not be a very strict parent, but rather a very mysterious one who would take every chance in installing life lessons in my kids. For example if I see my kids disrespecting myself or my wife, I could arrange to take them to an orphanage for sometime so they will have first hand experience of what it means to live without parents making them value the worth of a parent in their life. I know a lot of people will not agree with my methods of training, but then again, they are my kids so technically no one has more rights to do those things than me.
