16 April 2022

Easter is a remarkable time for Christians all over the world as it’s the time used in remembering the death of Jesus Christ.

This time is always a time when Christians reminisce on what Jesus did with his blood by dying on the cross for the sin of the whole world.

Also, this time is a time off for all family because most companies and government give their workers holiday so they can celebrate this awesome moment with their families and friends.

A time like this, you could use a movie since the whole family is around.

These are list of Best movies to watch this Easter period:

1. The Passion of the Christ

This is the first on my list and I’m sure it’s the first on any other list. The movie is acted by Jim Caviezel and I can say the movie is the greatest of all movie ever made because of the accuracy and how intense and real the movie was made.

The movie portray the whole life history of Jesus Christ from his birth to his death but the most awesome part of the movie is part where he is tortured.

The movie was acted so real that everyone who watch it will feel the gravity of the punishment Jesus was subjected to…

If you haven’t watched this movie and you’re a Christian, you can use this period to do that because it will enlighten you more on the importance of the season.

2. Risen

Risen is also a movie that all Christian should see because of the great message it entails.

The movie was acted by Joseph Fiennes who played the role of a Roman soldier who has been following the order of the land by carrying out execution by crucifixion.

However, his whole life changed when he was given the task to investigate the so called rumor of resurrection of one of the people he crucified.

During his investigation, he met the lord and realized that he had met the Messiah. He later dropped his sword as a soldier and carried the cross of the gospel.

3. Son of God

This movie also talks about the same Jesus but from the perspective of John.

The movies was released in the year 2014 and since then has been one of the recommended movie for this session.

However, people think the movie isn’t accurate enough because the punishment of Jesus and crucifixion isn’t portray so harsh and bloody like the movie Passion of Christ.

I will recommend this movie if you know you’re the emotional type or you have kids who can be traumatized by the cruelty been displayed in Passion of Christ.

4. The greatest story ever told

The greatest story every told is another awesome movies I would recommend for everyone during this period.

According to the five academy awards nomination, this movie is considered the most accurate and complete story of Jesus Christ because it pays more attention to the details that other version couldn’t pay attention to such as the Killing of the male child, the baptism of Jesus Christ and Judas betrayal.

This are important details that are included in this version of Jesus movie and I guess it worth the award.

You can see this movie as you enjoy your Easter celebration.

5. Killing Jesus

Lastly I will recommend this great movie titled killing Jesus. The movie also talks about the death of Jesus Christ but from a different perspective.

The movie talks about the conspiracy behind his death pointing to the impact of the politics even during those Iron Age.

The movie was able to analyze the historical and social clash that happened in the Roman Empire as at the time of Jesus death…

You should see this movie also.

Conclusion

As this Easter is considered a holy time, you should also endeavor to be part of the train by thanking the messiah for his gift of life.

You can enjoy the period with your family by watching the above movies.

THE CHILD BEGGAR

DCC Nnewi could boast of a good number of beggars, adults, children, Igbos, Hausas, Fulanis, even people from Chad with their lovely long hair. Each time someone walked pass, they would plead with outstretched hands for alms.

Sometimes, sympathetic passers-by would fling ₦20, ₦50 notes to them, while the less sympathetic ones would fling off the beggars’ hands off their clothes, shake off the dirt, mutter an acute curse and walk off.

It was a normal event till… Till…

It was a Saturday afternoon, the bike man I boarded his bike to drop me at New Age Computers had some ideas in his head, so I shouted at him to drop me at the Roundabout. I calmly deducted ₦50 from his money and gave him the rest. He made to complain but the look in my eyes told him clear enough to keep off. He grumbled loudly and took the money. It is not me that you will kill with neck-breaking speed.

“Aunty please give me money,” a child beggar said, tugging at my dress. Wait, did I say tug? She wanted to pull off the dress or tear it.

I was surprised. She was bold.

“Madam, no tear my clothe biko,” I said, “and besides, why must I give you money?”

“Because I could have been your younger sister.” Came the reply.

Jesus! Somebody pinch me!

She couldn’t be more than 10. Whoever taught her this line?

“Why are you not in school young girl?” I asked.

“Ask my mother, she is there,” she said, pointing at a woman sprawled on the dusty ground, houseflies feeding on an open sore in her leg.

I knew what I had to do. I knew I had to give this woman a good talking-to.

“Good afternoon ma,” I greeted the mom.

She opened one eye and gave me a ‘what-is-it’ look. I knew the formula, I reached into my purse and put some naira notes in her bowl. Immediately, a change occurred. She transformed into a smiling young woman.

“Why is this girl not in school?” I asked without preamble.

“Aunty, no money oh.”

“Government school nko?”

“Aunty, ah, ah, she’s here helping me.”

“Help? By begging? Is this what this child will do for the rest of her life?” I asked, my temper already rising.

“Aunty, I did not ask God to keep me like this.”

“This is not God, madam. This is you and your laziness. You’re not handicapped in any way, you have your whole body intact. Yet you are here lying down day by day, month after month when you can get up and work,” I said. I was already shaking with anger. Anger that this beautiful girl was being prevented from being a pillar in the society by this poor excuse of a mother.

“Get something doing woman, at least for the sake of this beautiful girl, for your daughter’s sake!”

She was shocked. I might have been the first person to speak to her that way.

The young girl stood nearby staring intently at me.

“If this girl becomes a nonentity, God, Nature and the world would blame you forever. Good day.”

I went over to her daughter and said to her in Igbo, “Rapụba, you’ll be great one day.”

She smiled and said, “Afa m bụ Onyinyechukwu.” My name is Onyinyechukwu.

“Afa m bụkwa Onyinyechukwu,” I replied.

She smiled and said shyly, “I’ll call you Big Sis Onyinye.”

Then I knew it was no coincidence, we were namesakes!

I motioned for a hug, she hesitated.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine,” I said. She buried her face in my bosom, I held her in my arms. It didn’t matter. All of a sudden, it didn’t matter; her dirty hair, smelly clothes, unwashed body, the looks passersby gave us. None of them mattered.

She was right. She could have been my younger sister.

“Thank you Big Sis,” she whispered.

We parted and she walked away. Not before I saw the tears on her face.

Tears gathered in my eyes too as I watched her go.

Making The Best Of Your Workout Routine In 2022 (Health and Fitness)

Do you follow the cliché “eat clean, train dirty” when it comes to fitness?

Do you want to be healthy and fit but don’t know how to start a workout routine?

Are you too obsessed with going to the gym to worry about making friends and having a social life? Do you ever feel guilty when you eat something that isn’t on your diet?

You might be one of the others who could never commit to exercising regularly.

Let’s walk through the steps that will help you

People and their different Attitude to Exercise

Most people don’t exercise, that is the reality. Now and then, a picture of a well trimmed body accompanying an ad turns up on their phone screen, they admire the body for a few seconds because who wouldn’t but still go ahead to swipe left because they believe that they are not cut out for the rigor of a 28 day or 30 day workout routine.

Others take it a little notch farther by downloading and enrolling for the workout routine, they start all motivated and might even commit a few days but the enthusiasm wears off after a few days and the whole workout routine is thrown in the trash, forgotten.

Getting a Better Workout Lifestyle

1. Never Overdo It

People striving to adopt a better lifestyle frequently express their dissatisfaction with being obliged to give up their “unhealthy meals.” To lose weight, you must make healthier choices, but you do not have to fully give up your favorite meals.

Unless those meals have a serious decline in your health, at the end of the day, it does not necessarily ruin your routine.

Please, eat. You need to eat. Dieting is good, but you do not need to be anorexic to have a perfect body or lose that stubborn body fat. Please eat healthy food of course.

2. Don’t Quit; Never Quit

Now, the ones who cannot follow through.

You give up when things become tough.

The first several weeks of weight loss were simple enough but now the weight isn’t coming off as fast as you’d love it to, work is demanding, and life is slapping you in the face.

You decide to quit and declare that “weight loss isn’t for me” and that “I’ll start again later on”

There is a thing about excuses, the quality of an excuse is only as good as the person who makes it.

Get rid of all of your excuses. There’s no better time than now to get started. Your setbacks and setbacks are camouflaged advantages that will aid your success. Something will attempt to derail you on a regular basis, it is how you deal with it that matters at the end of the day.

3. Do It for Yourself Only

What inspires you to exercise? To impress your mates? To impress your boyfriend or girlfriend? To show that ex what they are missing out on?

Those are excellent reasons but they can only take you so far.

You must change your fitness mindset because you can only go so far on external incentive. The flame that is lit to dazzle others will only burn for a short time before it dies. Fitness sustainability stems from an inside fire that never goes out, regardless of what the outer world thinks.

It doesn’t matter if your legs aren’t perfectly toned; it is not a deal breaker.

You have a life to live, so don’t waste time worrying about the tiniest of issues.

4. Experiment, Find what you Love

The majority of individuals believe that cardio (long distance running) is required to shed weight and improve fitness. This archaic idea is completely false.

While some people enjoy running, which mind you is not bad at all, it isn’t the only option. You do not have to stick with anything you dislike or are uncomfortable because you desire that killer body.

Check out this article to see how you can build your own workout

Exploration is the point of fitness, not pigeonholing oneself into a one-size-fits-all approach.

Keep experimenting with different activities to discover what works best for you.

Conclusion

Remember, exercise requires work, no pun intended. You have to brace yourself for the challenges that you will face.

So, if you are looking to improve your lifestyle, remember to take it at your own pace. Slow and steady, that’s how you win.

I know by reading the importance of learning new language and its benefits for entrepreneurs, you will be so anxious to join the leagues of bilingual peers. That’s a nice decision you’re making right there and I’m here to help you with all the resources you need for your growth.

There are two ways of language learning. If you are so keen in making languages your specialty, you can go for the course linguistics in a university.

In the course of your study, you will be taught everything you need to learn within the period of time which could be 4 years for most schools unless you want to do it as an additional course and that will only take you 2 years.

However, if you aren’t interested in changing your course and you would want to learn a new language, then this post is for you as I’ll be mentioning some important apps you can use in learning new languages.

These following apps and website will give you the right material needed for your adequate learning.

Let’s dive right into the list:

1. Busuu

Busuu is one of the popular language learning app you can find useful. The app is equipped with all the necessary things you need to learn your favorite language.

Immediately after signing up for Busuu, you will be given the chance to select the language you would love to learn, and the app will help you know how advanced you are with it, ask why you want to learn it, and to what level.

You can then set a daily study goal which will serve as a timetable.

There are just limited features in the free classes of busuu which means you will have to subscribe to enjoy the whole package.

The Premium plan costs $6 per month but there’s little discount if you subscribe for a year.

2. Lirica

Lirica is also another awesome language learning app that teaches new language using songs and lyrics.

We wonder why some of us could sing some songs even without understanding the language, it’s because if we listen to any song very well, we will learn all the words through repetition even if they’re in a different language.

But knowing what the song mean is the real issue right here and that’s the concept used by lirica.

This app is awesome and unique at the way it approaches teaching Spanish and German. Instead of using the normal traditional teaching methods for learning a language, Lirica is programed to use popular music by Latin and reggaeton artists to help you learn language and grammar.

You can try out the one week free plan on the app but I’m sure by the time you are done with the one week, you will want to subscribe for the main plan which is just 4dollar per month.

3. Babbel

Babbel can be compared to a foreign language course you will be taught in an online school curriculum.

The lowest design of the Babbel app helps in simplifying a new language that may seem so hard and complex without making it boring.

In Each lesson you takes, you go through translations which also includes different types of the word or phrase, pictures and whether it’s formal or informal. If it asks you to spell a phrase, the letters are included.

This app also help you learn how to use the new words you have learnt by making use of them in sentences by playing audio conversation where the word is been used repeatedly.

You can enjoy Babbel for free as much as you want to but I’ll advice you subscribe to a package.

4. Memrise

Another popular language learning app is memrise. One of the best features of the app is the parts of Memrise where a short videos will be played to show you how real locals express different phrases in conversation.

This will make you understand not only the words but the intonation and expression.

You can access some free lessons daily but to enjoy the whole app anytime any day, you will have to subscribe for the upgraded version.

5. Duolingo

Duolingo is also a nice and awesome language learning app.

The app is built in a very bright and colorful Interface.

One of the awesome feature of the app is the games you will enjoy in-between your learning. This game also helps in learning as they are games pertaining to the lesson you just finished.

If you think you haven’t understood a particular part of the course, you can go back to it until you are satisfied.

With just 7$ per month, you have full access for the app.

Conclusion

If you are truly serious about learning your language, I will strongly advice you run away from free apps. Not that they aren’t good but you should subscribe for their plans because half knowledge won’t profit you at all.

For those who don’t like learning things on their mobile phone but prefer using the system, you can check our next post which will be Website where you can learn new languages.
