I GAVE MY BROTHER A CHANCE TO LIVE AGAIN - Inspirational Story & Quote


THE GIFT OF LIFE
As a child I knew my brother was sick. But, until recently I never understood the impact his illness would have on his life, as well as mine. In the past year, at the young age of 33, my brother's kidneys began to fail as a result of Juvenile diabetes.
When I realized his health was declining, I chose to give him the gift of life. Without hesitation I volunteered to donate a kidney to my brother. After months of testing I was a perfect match. The day of the surgery would be the day that changed both of our lives forever. We are now bonded in a unique way forever. All I wanted from this experience was to see my brother live a healthier and longer life. Instead, this life changing experience has made me look at life and family in a different way. I am so grateful that I was able to help make a difference in someone's life, especially my brother's.
Being an organ donor (living or deceased) is a wonderful experience for both parties involved and their families. It is great to know everyday that you helped make someone's life better.
All it takes is selflessness, courage, and love.

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA SHAPES OUR IDENTITY

Last  year christmas, i had a strange dream. My father and i went to the market in reminiscent of   bus drivers and troublesome conductors, as thousands of   thousands of   people flood the market, we went to the fishmonger to buy native chicken( ‘Okuko’ in igbo language). The fowls crowded, slimy, around our legs, and I knew (in the way that one knows in a dream) that they thought, as they ate from the ground, that they were going to be killed—that they had to experience death before entering adulthood. The next day, I told my father about the dream. He revealed that, when I was three, when we were living in Ajegunle( A neighbourhood located in the heart of lagos ),   he took me to see a truckful of poultry being pumped into an artificial house. I was too young to remember this. But somewhere in my mind the vision of chickens being butchered and spewed into less breathing had lodged itself, resurfacing more than 10 years later. These days, it’s common to...

What Does 'FWM' Mean?

What Does 'FWM' Mean? It's certainly not the most polite acronym to use online or in a text FWM stands for: F*** With Me. Those asterisks can be filled in with the remaining letters required to spell out the F-word. You were warned! The Meaning of FWM You may see FWM used in comments on social media or you may see it in a text message. To make this acronym a little more user-friendly and a lot less vulgar, you can try replacing that F-bomb with the words "talk" or "get." So when someone says FWM, what they really mean is "talk with me" or "get with me." In some cases, FWM can have more of a negative interpretation than a positive or neutral one. For instance, it can be synonymous with the phrase "mess with me." How FWM Is Used People tend to use FWM to describe their relationships and interactions with friends, romantic...
