Which of these are you opening first?

 

If this were to be on your device, which of these apps are you opening first? (Photo credit: Biola's WhatsApp status)

I saw this on Biola’s WhatsApp status the other day and opted to jump on it. I certainly don’t have all of these; I don’t use snapchat, Boomplay or TikTok, I’ll talk through the order of importance of each app on the average.

There are instances where I’d likely jump this process but I don’t think it would be often; all things being equal, which of the social/professional apps up there would I open first considering I have messages from all of them? I don’t expect same answers from everyone but here’s my own order.

If that pic up there were to be mine, I’m opening the email first. One of my teammates lost a scholarship opportunity recently by sleeping on emails; I know a lot of people that missed job opportunities due to poor email attitude. I refresh my email more than any other app and that’s on God!

Next would be WhatsApp, I might not readily reply all messages but I’ll check to see what is important and what can wait. I’m more on WhatsApp than any other app tho but it’s the second priority to me if I have tons of messages on all the listed apps.

Twitter will the third on my log. I don’t even update my own personal Twitter but I manage a few celebrity accounts so I have to make sure that I don’t miss important messages. IG follows and it’s same vibe with twitter, like this, watch that twerk video briefly and I move on to greater things.

I’m not so big on Telegram, I don’t even have notifications on but it would be the next I’ll check. I really don’t know why it comes before Facebook but the blue app has lost its appeal to me. The only good use of Facebook right now is to remember birthdays… How time changes lots of things.

Facebook messenger is in the same basket as Facebook itself. I’d check LinkedIn before I check either of the blue apps. LinkedIn is extremely necessary especially when you’re job hunting but right now, I’m not. I’m seeking stability on my current job and I’m enjoying every bit of it.

I watch YouTube a lot but it would be the last I’d check. It’s probably a suggestion or an account I’m big on just posted a video; that can wait as far as I’m concerned. If I had the three apps left on the image up there, they would definitely come after the ones I’ve talked about.

Now, balance me. If that image up there were to be yours, which of them are you opening first? I’d love to read from y’all.

Unpaid announcement: My knee is responding slowly but I’m patient. I will definitely be available for selection again from Tuesday. Thank you for checking in.

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
