.....Tito sat by the pool next to her grand father a man who had raised her through the frailty of his old age, it had always been comforting to listen to him talk  in the dim light of the evenings as he told stories one after the other some real others a fabrication of his imagination for there was no such thing as a fake story. Stories so interwoven with twists, suspense and everything else indescribable that made papa her very own Nobel Laurette. at the age of 21 it seamed rather odd that a beautiful lady plum, tall, fair and adorable would in her right mind  sit out her evenings with a 83 year old man telling a tale she must have heard more than once in the 18 years he'd devoted to raising her since the demise of her parents  under circumstances that are best forgotten. She sat here with him because it had become to her a sort of culture and even though there were evenings when the day's stress caused her to fall asleep while he spoke, she non the less felt endeared ...

     ********** ... More often than not love sets the mind into confusion such that it is unable to continue pursuing an established routine,  like the skydiver who heartily plunges to the earth for a few minutes of adrenaline. Sometimes, the pursuit of happiness is in itself more rewarding than the happiness we sought. Let's imagine I fall in love, I fall In love with a lady, I'll have to deal with some questions dat are difficult to answer, for I can already visualize the elders peer at me over the rim of those pale glasses with their heads tilted forward so their jaws touch their collar bones and the skin on their necks fold in disciplined wrinkles, who is she? where is she from? These questions would follow like a hungry cheetah follows prey! But they are not alone because my hallowed friends would talk.. they'll ask what happened to Daniella, to joy, Funke, nkem, and Grace they'll like to know if they were merely  forerunners paving the path for my spousa...

...Dressed in my tight jean pants and a shirt With my jacket hanging across my arm still fresh out of rehab 21 gruelling days in that dungeon you'll think I'd learn a thing or two. If anyone had told me I would stay that long without my stuff I would have laughed them to scorn but here I was alive, sober and healthier for it. I couldn't help reflecting back to that fateful Tuesday weeks ago when dad barged into my room only to find me sniffing my stuff, he had burst into a mad fist of rage I've never witnessed before I'd heard him stutter and talk so fast at the same time in such quick successions that it was quite difficult to comprehend anything he said, what followed was predictable in any core african setting, a slap with the force of a blow hit me hard on my right cheek momentarily jolting me back to the reality of the situation. Cuz I had been so well engrossed with the act playing out before me, that I stayed glued to the spot observing the vibrations of his ...

Different strokes for iffereny folks as the saying goes, I had to publish this now although it was written months ago at the begining of the renewed agitation for biafra. Do Enjoy Why do people mention biafra and I hear "political  sabotage" i say no to biafra! Because it seeks to violate the  very freedom it hopes to achieve and that is my stand point!  Our elders fought a war do we need to fight one? NOO!!! No because their stories did not gift  me any sense of pride. Instead, It made me realize that the true  agony suffered in that war was not so much the loss of life as it was the loss of focus, those years of strife resulted in a "generationalional demoralization". Visible in the loss of belief in the "collective greater good" thay is evident in the manner in which our leaders rule.  Sadly, the drive of the average "man" is centered around individual interest  though many now feign a unified spirit  that does not exist.     ...

This is  one interesting narrative, i learnt a lot from and i felt It  would be best to share Enjoy your read I  love house chores but dishes?🍲🍚 (I just don't like washing them) 😣, however most times washing dishes is inevitable because he who eats must be ready to wash dishes.😊 This fateful evening, it was 'dish time' and I struggled through washing the dishes, I heaved a sigh of relief😢when I finally put the last piece in the plate rack (the kinda sigh a university student gives when he hears that ASUU strike is finally over😂).

Nigeria is really one of the most fantastic countries anyone on planet earth can choose to live in  and  that’s not likely to change ever!!  Big deal if you don’t agree with me, but there are lots of fun stuff  to do.  There are worth typically dozens of articles littering the internet on that subject so I'll advice you to read up. Why exactly do I brag about the country Nigeria? Well here is a list of things that can happen in Nigeria which is unlikely to happen elsewhere. #1 Ex-president is a dance king. Don’t let the hardship fool you Nigerians are known for their  party life style and the love for dancing and  that includes our presidents, what can I say ex-presido OBJ slaying the beat, he  has gat the moves. Can u beat him? I think not #2 Transformers are friendly if you’re born and breed in Nigeria  someone must have told you to go hug transformer at least once  that one time you pissed them off,  but it...

Anger is an emotion just like love, hatred, sadness,  happiness,  joy ,  fear amongst others now anger is usually a by product of fear  or a feeling of powerlessness over a situation  but anger unlike fear is directed at a person,  group of persons , organisations, or even our selves  there are two main reasons why people get  angry               *Something  we want to happen doesn’t happen              *something   we don’t want to happen actually does happen  Now there is obviously a lot that can be said about anger but it’s important we establish if one is angry or not.  Since it is actually possible to have a lot of bottled up anger without actually knowing it  you should delve through the following subtle signs to help you to recognize anger whenever you meet it.

There are a lot of prospective corp members (PCM's) out there fresh out of camp or waiting expectantly for  their call - up letter who are yet to decide if they'll stay at the family house or corper's lodge of their faith I.e NCCF, NACC e.t.c or if they'll seek alternative accommodation. Obviously this is an important decision as the choice you make will definitely affect how your service year pans out.  Now I've researched with past corper's on your behalf and  organized their response in a concise manner below. let's stay positive and start with the pros some individuals  who have had the privilege of staying  in both family houses and corper lodges highlighted the following reasons as advantages  of such communal living.

If you interact  well with women you'll  certainly come to a couple of  conclusions, now don't worry your head if the only women you're close to are your relations  cuz there's a good chance you'll not get to see the other side to them. but  for the rest of man-kind here's a few things we can  totally identity. #1 They love attention   They love attention and I dare anyone to challenge me on this women generally seek attention, you could almost say they thrive on it! what's amazing is that they can give attention too lots and lots of it Now when a woman falls in love this quest for attention gets to a whole new level  which can sometimes give the wrong impression (maybe not in all cases) #2 They love romance Now there is a very broad definition of what romance actually means  so don't be surprised if someone opines that i have no clue! every girl seams

Have you every wondered how or why people end up doing something really stupid?  Sincerely speaking ill like to believe they initially had good intention. but human stupidity is finite! and heres one video that proves that point. lets take for example a man who sets out to gym after all one needs to stay fit so its a pretty good idea! Now being the nice guy he is who is committed to improving others around him he decides a friend  should come along with him which is great for motivation. But who knows he might just exceed his personal best and it'll be awful not to have evidence so he gets a portable camera to capture the session live.   then something tells him to take his shirt off but its ok who wants a shirt on with all that sweat  dripping, so he changes to something more comfortable.                                     ...

 Quick thought why is the entry door of the bank bigger than the exit door ?   that's the question i'm pondering  in my mind as I step into the banking hall already counting cash in my mind mentally trying to work out how much to spend on each of the numerous things I wish to purchase thereafter.  There is a queue as expected and its quite long but not long enough to deter me, so I quietly join the queue after asking one guard a few questions. To my delight, the four segment line moves quickly and i'm at the last segment under 10 minutes. To pass time, I halfheartedly admire a painting hanged somewhere in the banking hall. Its while I am trying to make some sense of the jagajaga painting that the unexpected happens. The lights go off and the annoying  beep of  numerous UPS take center stage.  The only light source is one rechargeable light shining from the managers office as though he was expecting the power outage chai! Now this is not ...

Pray what ails you you army of thieves That flow together much like the seas Through all the holes and open pores To take residence in my core
