It was late in the morning and I was about doing my house chores. I went round the house sweeping what I could and as I put the litter together, I found that I had more than I could carry. I opened the door that led to my backyard and there they were… two daughters of my neighbor. They were obviously jobless. I could not explain whether they were just bored or lonely, seeing that their parents were not home. […]

Dear Elders of our land, I greet you.  I very much doubt the fact that you have a facebook account and if you do then I wonder who your facebook friends are especially if you choose to use your present picture. This few words may not show up on your wall because you are not my friend or the friend of my friend but it will show up somewhere near you. I say these words to you because I understand […]

A lesson to all is that people may never believe in you until you succeed. Never be discouraged when people do not believe in you, it is in the nature of man to seek the path of least resistance.

It’s never a bad turn to sacrifice or try to please someone out of your normally comfort […]

Some months back, my friend and I got talking and in the middle of our conversation, she mentioned that her friends have said and she believes that…bla bla bla. Okay, sorry about that. She said she believes as do her friends, that a woman should love the man more than the man loves her just in case the man ‘messes-up’ in the relationship, it would be easy for her to forgive him. If you care to ask my opinion I […]

She was mature yet full of life. Probably hailing from the middle belt of Nigeria, I would hit a guess at Kogi or Benue state or somewhere on the borderlines of both.
