Adventuring comes with risks
Greetings, everyone!
To begin with, we take a variety of risks every day, consciously or unconsciously, and these come with good or bad results at the end of the day. Some people like taking risks to see the outcome of something embarked on. There was a time when my younger brother took the risk of adventuring into another country by water, and he didn't tell us, knowing fully well we were going to stop him from crossing the boundary. On his way to Cameron, he called my parents to say that he was on his way to Cameron with his friends for a contract business. My Dad was looking for a way to stop him, but there was no way because he had gone far. Thankful to God, the contract worked well for him and he had a wonderful and successful stay in the strange land and later came back successfully without any problem. From the start, my brother has been an adventurer, trying and taking risks that are bigger and stronger than his age, and I thank God for all the risks he has been taking. It has been productive.

This is me sharing my risk of leaving my parents to a strange land where there are no relatives to be a corp member serving our nation. Some even told me to relocate to a closer State, but I refused. It was a big risk, many thoughts came over my head, like how I was going to survive and all of that. My first time traveling a far distance from home.
Another risk of eating Hausa and Yoruba food. I needed experience from here and I needed to taste their food, fura, groundnut, and the way their food taste. The environment and the weather at times used to be harsh and it affected me by causing a runny nose and cough. Kaduna is a good place to be, and I'm yet to adapt to the environment; I pray it comes soon.
Taking risks is a way of life, and part of us humans should undertake to see the results, either good or bad. I took this risk of traveling because of my education, my way of becoming a graduate made me take this journey. Normal me, I wouldn't have liked to leave my State for Kaduna State for no reason. But I thank God, and God knows the reason He sent me here, and I'm enjoying every of my day here. The risk I took turned out to be a blessing to me and I'm happy too. I prayed and I stepped into the State and got connected.
Also, the risk of using public transportation three times a week on the road is very high. Is God that is protecting me. Last month, an accident occurred in my presence; the man hit his leg on a pedestrian path and broke it, and immediately after that happened, I screamed Jesus Christ, and I was covered, and the man was served too.
In life, we need to be careful and vigilant as well.

Amen, thank you very much
