Science has tirelessly worked on creation, preservation, and perhaps the termination of life, but the key to life remains obscure and, thankfully, a mystery. Life is thus the most precious jewel and gift to humanity, for man has been laden with the responsibility to till, subserve, and overcome the earth, which we have constantly battled with since the story of creation. Perhaps I should have been born in the era before Christ. Or perhaps my birth should have been some centuries yet to come? And even perhaps, maybe I should have been born in another form? All these many questions perhaps bring man to align a balance between science and spirituality—the place of reincarnation!
And perhaps reincarnation is possible—maybe a myth or folklore? Reincarnation is one belief that people, especially here in Africa, hold in high regard. Some African names, such as Iyabo (mother came back), Babatunde (father has come back), etc., can attest to the belief in the reincarnation process. I want to believe that some of those children actually resemble, in physique, character, or otherwise, what is portrayed as a reincarnated individual. My life has been a bit more turbulent than serene, and perhaps I would wish for a better life, but would I prefer to come back to this very life? Yes! Every life has its peculiarities and challenges, and maybe the unknown might be preferred to this, but as it is said, the devil you know is better than the angel you do not know.
Would I wish to be born here in Nigeria?
Well, technically, I would say NO however, I would miss Nigeria if my consciousness is within the reincarnated body. Nigeria is a cruise country blessed with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Sometimes when I look upon the events in Nigeria, I am dazzled at the countrymen, the way we all vibe, and the way we all move on shortly after a trend. One thing I love about Nigeria is its liberty as compared to other countries (although there are some no-no areas due to security reasons). As much as I love Nigeria, the country can be a stressor, and I would not mind a change in environment to where life is not as hard and there can be enormous peace enjoyed (mind you, peace of mind is vital to good health).
Would I prefer to be reincarnated into the opposite sex?
First, I should state that I am a male. But before we go further in this discussion, let me admit that I consider the female gender a rare and very strong species, multi-talented, and perhaps men may be physically strong, but when it comes to emotions, intelligence, economics, and a whole lot more, a big kudos to the women. Pregnancy and childbirth—staying up late to take care of kids and hubby? I credit women for such and many more. Of course, men have their significant roles, but women make the world a better place. (Notwithstanding, I'll prefer to stick with the male gender as the lazy type 😂😂😂.)
Would I prefer another family?
This is the point at which I will state that my eldest brother sent me money for my birthday cake coming up in October. Isn't that just sweet? And you want me to trade such a family? We're all beautiful, hardworking, resilient, optimistic, SELFLESS as a family, and these are some of the attributes that would make me choose us a million times in a lifetime. This does not mean all things are rosy, but the beautiful memories far overshadow the dark days.

What features would I change about myself?
Well, I'm not bad in physique or facials, but it won't be bad to have a little touch of extra fineness, chest packs (🥰🥰🥰), and kind of taller, just small (too much can be a problem too), and if it'll be stressful, just leave me as I am. 😂😂😂
Who knows actually if I'm a reincarnated version of another 😂
I've been a little unwell for some weeks, and hence, my activity on the chain has been limited. I hope to be back and better very soon.
Thank you for reading. I would love to have your comments and contributions.
