Greetings people!🙌
Before I came of sensible age, I used to argue a lot about the existence of reincarnation, but when I saw that life is far more than argument, I just let everyone stay with their beliefs.
I grew up in a rural setting where superstition and mythical beliefs were very real. I saw a lot of things that made me believe in the existence of reincarnation, and I also saw some counter-features that made me doubt it.
I was a good pointer to reincarnation in my extended family, and till today, all those elderly relatives still call me the name of the person I reincarnated. I don't fight it; I just let go of the flow, allowing peace to reign. According to them, I reincarnated as one of their past warriors, hence the reason I was (maybe I'm still) afraid of Canon Shot. Please, this Canon shot is not what you know. Its sound causes earthquakes.
If I'm return in the next world;
- Which country would it be?
Just like I told someone earlier today, I'm a very patriotic person, especially when it comes to sporting events where nations are represented internationally (eg. World cup), I can't just think of rooting for another country.
On a serious note, Nigeria is blessed all around; the only issue that's choking us is bad leadership, which has given birth to a lot of problems like insecurities, a harsh economy, and poor infrastructure to serve the citizens.
We don't face many natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, and others; the only one that comes is the floor, which is often sponsored by the opening of dams by neighbouring countries.
I will still choose to appear in Nigeria in my next life; I don't want to miss our kinda music (afrobeats), our kinda food (real swallow), the regular cruise from all angers... I wonder if there's any country that sees jokes in everything more than we do.🤷
- What about family?
Omo! I won't lie here!
My upbringing was tough, with a lot of farm work. In my next life, I would like to still have my siblings and parents, but in a very rich home. My family is my number one thing on earth, and I would love to have those faces around, but this time not riding bicycles to farm but living a very easy life.
- Would I still prefer to remain a male?
A big yes!
Although civilization has taken a good shape in our modern way of living, but men's freedom is far greater than that of women. I can't just imagine being caged like how I cage my sister's whenever I go home. Naa! I love my gender!
As I round up,
one thing I would love to change about myself in my next life is being sociable offline.
Oftentimes, my friends on social platforms do not agree whenever I tell them that I'm a very reserved person offline, regarding the way I spill out words online. Although I like this lifestyle currently because it has saved me from troublesome people as friends, but I would like to be this "everyone's person" in my next life, just like my dad is.
Thanks for reading.
