It was the morning of July 17 2015,somewhere in northern Nigeria. I was in my second class,which had always piqued my interest and then suddenly,I began receiving calls from my nephew in the middle of class. I set my phone on mute profile, figuring I'd deal with it after class.

I went out after class had ended. Saw my elder brother approaching me, his face flushed with worry, as if something horrible had happened. I inquired as to what was wrong. 'Some terrorists have assaulted the school of Ugo,' he said (Ugo,was the name of my little brother). I still could not grasp the sensitivity of the situation and could not seem to shake off negative thoughts from my mind,but then i believed everything would be fine. My father picks us up and drives us straight to his school.

I'm standing outside the school's gate 20 minutes later. I'm surrounded by snipers and heavily armed soldiers. They all make me feel like a war is raging within 
the school. When asked what happened, they only answer i could get was that terrorists had kidnapped some schoolchildren. I was quite relieved because I saw military personnel on ground. It'll going to work out. Shuffle!

One of my friends then contacts me an hour later,tells me to go to the state hospital, which is a local hospital in the region. I refused initially because I felt my brother was still inside the school, confined. However, my gut feeling was that he's hiding something from me. 
Okay. I ask that we go over and check it out.

We're currently in the hospital. It's quite crowded. My father is scouring the hospital for my brother, and the hours are passing quickly. 
After 30 minutes, I see him emerge. As soon as I saw his face, I felt comforted. 'Dad!' I exclaim. "Did you manage to find him?" 
He summons the courage and said aloud, "He is dead." This phrase shatters me to the core, and I began to cry. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

For the first time in my life, I see his face buried among the blood dripping from his clothes, and he appears to be content. I came to a halt to look at him, and believe me when I say that the peace on his face astounded me. 

You know you're the unluckiest person on the planet when you're standing outside the school where terrorists are murdering your brother and you're unable to stop them. You feel as though your hands are chained, and there is nothing you can do to help your brother. 

**what I learned: Life is incredibly Uncertain!!!**

So it looks like you are going to keep this contest going at the end of every week. Your prizes are quite generous and it looks like you good responses for your question last week. I wonder what does having more comments with the hashtag #motivation do for visibility? Somehow I thought if a post had one hashtag then it wouldn't make a difference if there were more hashtags, does it? !LUV

Yeap! This is great, congratulations to all the winners and congratulations to me

***What is that one moment of your life that changed you, the way you think, the way you perceive things, your outlook and approach?***

*Thank you @sugandhaseth for this question 😊*

*Just as I saw this question, I realized this one is just for me.
Yes there are times, phases in your life that comes just to change you, to change you drastically. This kind of phase came in my life in the year 2013. When I just finished my Engineering course and was preparing for competitive exams. Situations at that time were like that I was totally depressed. There were some family issues too, I was confused in my life to the core.*

*That night, feeling totally alone, I was trying to sleep, feeling very confused between wrong and right and asking for divine help as I couldn't get any human help that time. A miracle occured I felt that divine gave me the hint, a helping hand reached to my breaking heart. Everything was changed in and out. My whole world, my thoughts towards life., my life style., my way of living my life, my whole journey changed in a moment..that was the moment for me, the moment of germination of a new seed inside me. 
Course of my life drastically changed after that, the divine hints helped me to get across those toughest situations of my life successfully.*
*It's only me who knows what I was before that moment and what I became later.*

***I am grateful to Almighty for that moment of change.***

The one moment of my life that change me was when I fell in life, when I was a kid I used to heard elders says that "love is a beautiful thing" I didn't know what this phrase really means until it was my time that I was capture by love, since that moment, my whole life has not remains the same, i am sad when my bae is sad, when she is happy is when I am happy,  my heart is divided into two parts, my thinking not my own anymore, my soul flying and locating my soulmate, what is more stronger than love in this world? I asked myself! If falling in my love can take my whole heart away then love has the greatest power of all, it stronger than anyone could ever imagine, it connects a soul and keep it where it is needed in peace and harmony.

Love the greatest power of all.

There have been various moments that have changed my way of thinking and approach. Various moments that have changed me  the one am about share made a greater impact.

I was very young when it happened, a kid of about six years. I was playing normally and trying to catch night flies in the green grass outside the hospital ward  when I summoned by my dad.  He took my hands and said.... "Find a place in your heart to forgive me"  and I smiled.  Why would I need to forgive him? He did nothing wrong, I thought.  I was led out of the ward and was later told that he passed away and there was the moment. 

It dawned on me that things had to change. My reasoning had to more advanced. Lucky thing is that I was the last child and as such I decided to take responsibility for my actions.

I started seeing life for what it is. Not a  bed of roses but I saw the  reality.
It was from that moment that everything changed.

Thanks for reading.

#motivation.
