Free Men:It Has Begun
*''Twelve injured countless dead in a blast of unknown origin at the Metropolitan stadium. The force believe it to be a bomb of some kind planted beforehand on the pitch that was detonated remotely but after close inspection the blast anonymous and can't be related to the work of a nuclear bomb as no nuclear elements were found after inspection of the sites by professionals.''*
*This is Karen Maguire from Liberty News.*
''Wow'' my dad said.
'' Son,this is war i see coming.''
''i don't think our government would let this slide''
I heard him loud and clear but at this point i was deep in thought as my face was stuck to the content of my laptop screen.
***INBOX***
***Anonymous: Meet up.. City mall...8:40pm to be exact.... COME ALONE!!!***
That got me thinking.
For the last few years of my life i was just an ordinary kid till i came out here to school,joined the basketball team and all of a sudden I'm popular and is being invited to a God-knows-what.
i didn't want to go but my head kept telling me something different.
''What could be the worst twerp?.....nobody likes you so you better embrace this offer!!!''
That was all that was in my head at that time, I couldn't tell my dad cause i don't trust with information like this,he is an over thinker just like myself but with higher levels. I decided i would go with Fash but a planned meeting.
***7:59pm***
''Yo bro you good?'' I Said over the phone to Fash.
''Yeah man I'm good, you alright?'' He said
''yeah bro I'm alright,can we go out, i want s to go see someone together,can't tell you why over the phone,i'll tell you along the way''
''As far as there ain't gonna be another blast I'm in'' he said laughing.
''funny.....alright man,old block in ten minutes''
''alright see you in ten'' he said as we hung up on each other.
I hurried grabbed my joggers and a pocket knife in case anything happened. I took taekwando lessons since 5th grade and now i practice karate on weekends so i think I'm good to go.
I walked to catch up with Fash at an old building that used to be a meeting hall but was turned into a home for old people to hangout and relax. Well, another thing i was thinking of was why and who it was that had sent that message and how they got my email address. Nothing is safe on the internet i know but i couldn't have been that careless.
Soon i saw Fash from a distance.
''Man why did you hit me up impromptu like that?'' he said as we headed to the mall.
''You know we got a game after school tomorrow yeah?'' he added quickly.
''Yeah i do Fash, but look I'm out here headed to see someone i haven't seen before'' i said.
''ooooouuuuu......look who's meeting a girl he met off tinder,how old is she and from her picture is she cute?'' He said been as foolish as ever but that was just him.
''Look'' i said pushing us aside to a narrow walk just opposite the city mall and i said...
''Brother trust my instincts,this has to do with the world change,i know you might not understand but something paranormal is happening and i think this person has a clue or is linked to someone who does,i can just feel it''
He scuffed me aside slightly and said
''Hold up bro......so we're going to see someone you don't even know a thing about?''
''What if we get killed??''
I quickly cut in saying..
''look Fash,it's a big mall,i'll make sure we sit in an open place and what i want you to do for me is simple''
''And that is.......'' he asked sarcastically and i said..
''For you to be my backup.....like a spy or something just to get pictures or videos okay?''
Then he said,
''Just that?''
''yeah brother'' i affirmed
''lets do this then,you owe me one now'' he said with a weird smile showing his teeth.
***8:50pm***
I had been on a sit for about 10 minutes when a stranger came to sit in front of me dressed all black in a hoodie and had leather gloves on. I looked up to see who it was and i was abruptly taken aback. It was the same mystery lady from the basketball game but with a different hair color this time. I wanted to scream but then she said.....
''I'm Kinary''
That further confused me because Kinary was never this old and no matter the makeup she wouldn't be so i tried to stay calm as possible and asked.
''What happened to my mom?''
That was a question only my dad,Fash and Kinary knows but when she said
''She died due to pregnancy related issues at about 11pm exactly thirty minutes after the baby she delivered died''
What in the actual heavens!!!!!!!!!!!
''Who told you that,what have you done to Kinary?'' i asked out of both curiosity and confusion. She didn't answer me,she just removed her glove touched me and her skin color and eye color became the same as mine. I was freaked out,my face showed it this time,then she said..
''Khode,you were right when you said something happened''
''Khode...IT HAS BEGUN''

An Algorithm for Friendship?
Friend,friends,friendship,friendships..........these are words used by humans and AIs programmed to make us feel better right?. Most times do we really need to fallback and let every other thing slide and just be our self or change just to fit in the environment just because our ''FRIENDS'' say so or do. Today i watched a movie that got me thinking and i had to sit and analyze the whole movie before relating it to the human world. The movie is called ''Ron's gone wrong'' and really made my day today. Now here are some details about the whole movie.
Ron's gone wrong.
Image source https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQGLT4NSVRjcrd4b-K0KjRA21OoThXNgJb7_w&usqp=CAU
In the evolved world like today,we are all plugged in and connected to the whole world by the internet through our smart phones,laptops or other devices like Alexa.Now let us take things a little forward,about 30 years from now when everything is all over the internet and we have robots we call B-bots,that's how the whole movie started. Every kid in the town of Nonsuch had a B-bot except this one kid named Barney. His mother was dead and he lives with his dad and grandma. His dad works from home and his grandma takes care of his feeding and all grandma stuff. Barney loves rocks and even has a rock collection but in middle school he need more than just rocks,Barney wanted friends but had none and felt having a B-bot would change everything. A B-bot was as expensive as a brand new Chevrolet and his dad couldn't afford one but got him a rock hammer set for his birthday.

Ron was appreciative and understanding but when his father saw he really wanted a B-bot,he gathered all he had with all Barneys' grandma had but still they couldn't afford a new B-bot so they got one that was cracked and not fully set-up at a cheaper price which was illegal but they'll do anything to make Barney happy.
Barney loved his new friend but was really disappointment when he discovered the B-bot wouldn't do everything a normal B-bot would do. Over time he developed interest and love for his B-bot and called him Ron. Since Ron was broken and not fully set-up,he only had basic abilities and couldn't download new skins or features from the cloud but Barney had an incident that made him want to keep Ron and so he had to manually teach him to become his friend. As a robot,Ron learned everything fast and that made Barney happy,they got into trouble a couple of times too but still they never wanted to let go of each other and did every fun thing friends would do.
Fact that he wasn't fully set-up made Ron have access to basic features that were locked on a fully set-up B-bot. He had skills like learning from humans and doing what he was told. That brought concerns when in a bid to protect his friend Barney,Ron hit another middle school kid,Richie. With the whole thing on the internet,the Bubble company,creators of the B-bots wanted Ron since he was broken
Story short,Barney wouldn't let them take his friend and did everything possible to keep him.

My thoughts.
Do humans really need algorithms to help us build friendships?. I've had friends that left me when they felt like it. Not like I'm asking to be committed to but I'm trying to say friends are essential for human growth,even if you're going to leave or grow apart in the end,you shouldn't move into someones' life and leave the person with bitter memories. I feel like friends are meant to have each others' back no matter what. Fights and brawls would happen but how we handle them as friends is what really makes us friends.
Make a friend today and make someone smile.

Getting away from the world

In life we have that one thing we fallback to when we just feel stressed and need to relax. We've grown up to having a way of dealing with not talking to any one before solving our problems and found a way of getting away from the world. Well for me,whenever i feel like i need to get away from the world, i always fallback to Anime,Manga and TV series and i'll be running you all through my top four life-getaway-plans.
**TV Series.**
I have a long list of series I'd always want to watch to getaway from stress just to laugh,learn about life and get to learn some new survival skill. But my top four would be these
**Grownish.**
Image source https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR1g7OR8exwLKvkPik7ZXRNMfLurIvhlRMGzw&usqp=CAU
This series circles around college life with Yara Shadidi as Zoey and where the whole story starts from. I Made this one my top 1 because it really is a blend of everything i stand to like as a human,things like Equality for all,love life,friendship,committment among others. My favorite character here would be Vivek (Jordan Buhat). i Like this guy so much like if i were i would actually agree to date him without thinking twice, he is like one free bird. They all were as freshmen but Vivek for me stood out and had his own way of been him and not really letting what others say get to him. He was a drug dealer in college that knew how to manage school life and the life of a drug dealer,not that I'm actually supporting drug dealing anyways. For me this series tells it all and whenever i feel like laughing I'd always fallback to this one. New Season would be out by 27th of January this month and i can't wait to get to see it.
**Swagger.**
Image source https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRbRnFNDFa1T6tHgvgGF5qmEiy3-jacJxJ12g&usqp=CAU
This one right here is my top two on life-getaway list. it blends in everything smoothly even if it has to be in a short way. Things like the voice of the girl child,the strives of black people in foreign countries,leadership skills and team efforts were all put into this one. The whole story circles about my favorite sport, basketball and a team that made it from scratch to the nationals after making mistakes,getting in fights with each other,losing matches and at a point not trusting their captain. The team was called SP Grind just before a Jace Carson,a player that was hyped all over socials and in high-school joined the team and just before they moved on changed their name to Swagger.......Team Swagger. My favorite character here would be Jace Carson,that guy is literally me or you can say me with special effects. He was always ready and wanting to win and would only go through the right path. He was also a very courageous player and captain that spoke up when his team was getting harassed by the cops at a diner. Currently ism still waiting to get season two of this one and i've made a friend promise she'll tell me when it's out,Just in case i got too busy and forgot.
**Sweet tooth.**

I collected this one from a friend about two days ago and I'm already loving it. It is about a new world where humans were fading and by that i mean dying from a sickness some think is a curse from nature and is a way of paying humans back for the way she was treated while others think it's brought to them by Hybrids......the new humans. Hybrids here were human children but with animal features. They were born with animal features that makes them stand out and survive their environment. Humans started hunting down hybrids and killing them thinking it would bring an end to the sickness. So far i've only seen five episodes from season one because i was really busy. I love this one because of this one kid......Gus. Gus is a hybrid who lived with his father in the woods for nine years to avoid getting killed but at a point his father died and he mistakenly set a smoke signal revealing his location to hybrid hunters. Well he is a very courageous kid and decides to tour this new world. I can't really say more than this on this one,but i love the young boys' courage and that's why it is my top three on my life-getaway list.
**Zero**.

I started this one yesterday and right now i only like the fact that it has a guy that loves and make comics just like myself. He was born with a super power..........invincibility. He gets in with some friends that want to use whatever means they have to develop their community and this guy is just one great addition to their circle. I love this one because it reminds me of how life is,most people aren't really like superheroes or villains that have super powers but they come into your life as friends and promise they'll be there for you but they disappear when things get hard or switch sides when they don't want you anymore.
Well,there you have it,my life-getaway list. I'll tell you guys about my anime and manga list in future articles.
***Movies are one of the best ways of getting out and away from the world for me,you just have to find what movie or movies you love and go for it.***

Free Men: Before The Game
It was just me in the court.
The ball in my hands,the clock ticking louder than words can explain.......this was what I've always dreamed of as a kid before getting into high school.but just then as if the hall had miraculously become full,I could hear chants behind me.
I turned to look and what I saw made me run for I became scared and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't run any faster.
Was this some sort of weird dream?
It felt so real I could feel myself literally sweating.
I turned back to get a close look,I was being chased by a pile of humans on top each other. On closer inspection,they look like they had been eaten or mutated by and were now one big pile of trash. I couldn't run any faster,my palm became wet and my legs start to shiver and just in a switch the lights went off and all I could hear were voices from people I knew and those I didn't......i wanted out so badly I just fell on my knees and my face in my hands and just then a light from one end of the corner came up and I could hear the personage standing in the light saying
"Your tryouts are today,wanna miss or get on the team?"
"Get up Khode"
"Get up!!"
And soon the whole lights surrounded the room and I felt my eyes open and when it was all clear, the personage in the light was my dad......if you listen carefully, I could swear you'd hear my heart pumping two times faster then the normal,my palm were all sweaty and my body was wet.
"Where did they go" I said,my voice shaking
"Where did who go?" My dad said, making me feel stupid.
"Never mind" I said as I got outta bed.
I'm a kind of person who don't waste time on getting ready to go places, especially places that were really really beneficial. Today I'm going for the tryouts to join my school basketball team,the Red Scouts. Weird name yeah?,I know but that's what they call themselves. Soon after I got outta bed I was done bathing and on the dining table having breakfast.
"You miss your mother?"
Chills ran down my spine,I instantly lost appetite and the food in my mouth tasted sour as I swallowed it. Was this his way of making me skip breakfast? And just then I blurted out saying,
"Why in heavens do you have to care?"
"You don't even know me,I've stayed with you over 11 years of Life and you don't know me.......dad" saying the dad sarcastically
"You don't even care and now it's not just you,it's the world too,that day something happened and everyone's playing dumb like they can't remember nothing even my own father"
And as I stood up to leave for school he said
"would she have loved the way you talked to me"
I never bothered replying and I just left.
"Yo bro here it comes" Fash said as he passed me the ball
I got the ball bounced a little and shot, aiming for the hoop but I missed,Fash had the ball bounced for a while,shot and it *swooshed* right into go the hoop and out then he looked at me.
"We should be on the team no matter what happens brother" his emphasis on the brother made me look up.
"What did you just call me?" I asked just to confirm I heard right.
"I said brother,what? You not down for it? We're too close now I'll take you as my junior brother" he said giggling then dunking the ball before passing to me.
Just then I felt the urge to get the ball into the hoop on my own.
I decided to try out my handles,I did some skill roll and then tried some dribble moves with Fash and then dunked and just then we heard someone clapping.

"Nice dunk,only two of you here or......"
That was the heavily built Coach Alex.
He made it to nationals as the MVP of the game and helped his team stay at that point for all his stay in high-school.
"Umm,yes Sir,just two of us" I said looking at Fash.
And Coach said "Nice" before exiting the hall.
"You think we didn't impress him,I mean he just left like that without a compliment" I said to Fash
And Fash just passed the ball and said "seems you're really new around here, haven't you heard about the Ghost train?"
I had heard about the Ghost train,it was the same team Coach Alex played for in high school.
"Yeah? What's wrong with? Ain't that coachs' old team?"
Fash tossed me the ball and said
"You know who named the team?,it was Coach Alex,he was known as the Ghost by every student in his class and his teammates,he rarely talked to anyone but no one ever got him when he had possession of the ball,he'd move right pass you like you weren't there and when his team won the almost impossible game making them 3 blocks away from the nationals,it was all because of Coach Alex and his Ghost skills and out of joy his coach named the team Ghost train just before they hit the nationals"
"Wow.....have you been taking history classes on Coach Alex?" I said and paused as other team players started moving in.
As Fash and I moved to the side,he said
"And I Know that every team Coach Alex coached, chose their names themselves"
*Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeewwpppphhhh*
Coach Alexs" whistle blew the room like it was a siren
Gather together boys!!!
"Today I shall be doing the honor of introducing you all to the elites joining us"
"The us I mean is those of you that'll be chosen after the tryouts today"
All that was left in the room now was murmuring ......
"Which of the elites are joining us??"
"Who would it be?"
"Would I be chosen?"
Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeewwpppphhhh
"Less talking boys,let's grind!!!!''

***48 mins later***
"End of the game people"
"If you hear your name, you'll be on my team and if you're not on the team, we'll be rooting for you and would take you on if any of our players go drop out or go below school grades"
Then came the moment where I wished I wasn't human,after the hectic 48 minutes playing against each other to be on the school team,that was one moment everybody was thinking and having doubts of their skills.
"Kelvin Benjamin"
"Austin McCarthy"
"Byron Stone"
And you two he said pointing to Fash and I, "The moment I saw you guys this morning training here alone,you were already on the team"
"Thank you coach" we said almost at the same time.
"And now let me introduce them to you,the two elites joining us today"
Everyone was anxious,we only heard stories of Elite players but they joining us never struck our minds. Elite players were teenagers who were overly good in the game and they were only 12.
As two of them walked in, Coach said that is Cozy Stormz and that's is Jamal Murray,they'll be playing with us from now us.
"Khode,can you do us a favor and give us a name?"
I could feel everyone looking at me,I didn't know what to say and then Fash said
"Bro be yourself,be free"
And it all came to mind,the whole picture became clear and I said
"Coach, we'll be called Free men"
And he just nodded and left and that was how it truly began. **THE FREE MEN**

Free Men: The Game and the Mystery Lady
*It was time for the first match between the schools' basketball team and Team Phoenix from Dallas.*
Lead image source https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTU6yGEwudTJarju2w7lg9AhCG_6BDC3IvFNg&usqp=CAU
Now everyone was talking about them,what was today going to be like for the teams?.
James had gotten good overnight and no one knew how he did it,no one had the slightest clue on what he had been doing to get this good.
"Bro you good?". Kelvin asked me.
It was almost as if my heart was gonna drop out of my chest after seeing what James was capable of,his handles,his misdirection and of all his dunks were on another note.
I started working my head out in front of Kelvin then I said
"You think we're gonna flop?"
"You think we're gonna lose to some lame team that now have two players that feel like they can play as elites?"
"Well hell No!!,my name is Khode and I don't plan on letting only my classmates know that,what about you?"
He was shocked at my response,he never expected it,he knew we had two elites who were really good on our team and that we should win this match but he never expected a newbie to contain so much courage and passion for the game I guess.
"Heyy!!Roll it in everybody!!"
"We are the Free Men and we are not gonna let ourselves be disgraced on the court,are we??
"No!!" We shouted in unison
"Then let's get out there and show them that we can level them no matter what happens!"
"Show them we aren't called Free men for nothing"
"Let's go"
"Let's go" we chorused.
As we approached the court,I could notice some lady in the corner who had her eyes on me,she stared at me as if she was trying to penetrate my soul with those eyes then she looked away to the direction of James in the Phoenix team.
Was she his mum? Or a relative and why was she staring?
Soon we were already playing and we were still tied at all NIL no team had dunked the ball, our coach,Coach Alex had asked us to make a screen of defense since we were playing against a team that deal with attacks.
Then just all of a sudden,when I tried to get past through the defense of the Phoenix,my attack was shut down by James,he was too quick I couldn't even know when I lost possession,it was like I didn't even see him coming at all.
Then all of a sudden I felt this spark inside of me,it was little at first and then just as if I had gotten energy from an unknown source I bounced back and ran faster than I have ever done tried countering James before he had time to shoot his shot, everyone didn't see it coming,my coach was surprised I could tell but then he shouted
"Aim for the hoop"
With the ball back in possession,I wanted to pass on to Cozy but then I could see the hoop from where I stood as it it was really close to me,I felt this urge to take a shot and I did and swoosh,it entered the hoop and that was a tie breaker.
I could hear my coach shout
"Yeah"
The whole crowd on the right side was hailing and chanting the teams' name. Just then James stared at me and bumped me with his shoulder and left,as if It was to intimidate me.
"Crazy shot brother,even I can't cover that kind of distance"
That was Cozy and that was the first time we'd speak,it felt so cool having to get complimented by an elite like Cozy.
Image source https://instagram.com/Code_lethal_?utm_medium=copy_link
Fash passed by and pat my back
"Keep it up Khode,let them know the name"
And then this ominous feeling engulfed me,like I was being watched and I could hear voices in my head,I could literally hear the voice of every person in the hall and one was different it said look up,hard left.I did that and it was in the direction of that lady from the beginning of the game,she was staring and whispering or talking cause I could see her mouth move and it felt like she was talking to me saying
''General restroom after the game"
I felt odd,was I been schizophrenic on court?
"Coach I need to Substitute" I said to coach Alex.
"What's wrong Khode? The game is just starting and we're taking the lead all thanks to you"
"Coach I'm not feeling good"
"No Khode,you got this,you can do it trust me"
"Get out there and make me proud son"
And that was how coach put me back on the field into an experience that changed my life forever.
"Get him from the Byron"
"Don't let him through"
*Swoooossh*
The ball went right through our hoop and now the Phoenix team were three points ahead of us.
*Pheeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwpppphhhh*
That was the referees' whistle,this was the first quarter.As I walked back to the bench I could still feel like I was being watched.
Peeking over my shoulder I could still see that lady staring.
"Nice work out there boys,we need more of you on defense for now" Coach said as he handed Cozy a towel.Looking at me he said
"I gat work for you newbie, you're bait"
Bait!!? My whole workout during tryouts and skill from God knows where all for me to become bait?,those were the thoughts running through my head before coach clarified saying
"I noticed James is the upfront soldier for the Phoenix in this game and with what I heard,he won't change"
"With what I heard?"
"Coach who told you so? Kelly asked
"I mean,they wouldn't be disclosing their strategy to an opponent would they?"
That was right,the Phoenix always played to win and I don't think it'll be wise revealing your strategy to anyone especially an opponent right? So how in heavens did coach hear that?
"Look boys,are you going to question me or play according to plan?"
"James is all out and Simon plays as his backup in case he misses any shot"
"Bruce, you'll be on Simon,Khode you'll be on James"
At that point,Cozy went mad and said
"Why does the newbie get to do that? I'm here coach and I'm an elite"
"Being elite isn't what we need now,we need to win" Coach replied,get back there and win.
We played as coach said,they weren't able to get any close dunks and I countered all their shots throughout the second and third quarter but in the fourth,this happened.
"Pass me the ball" Cozy shouted at Byron
He got the ball and bounced towards the hoop on Phoenix side then all of a sudden nobody moved except me,it was all in slow motion,as I looked around I could see the lady waving at me before exiting the hall and then the game continued and Cozy lost balanced and lost possession of the ball and James grabbed, bounced and dunked the ball bringing us to another tie
52:52
"Cozy you never lost possession before what happened now?" He teased as be bumped into Cozy and left.
Cozy got hot with rage and looked at me saying
"Follow me Khode"
We moved forward gaining ground on the Phoenix part of the court and this time James was in front of Cozy.
Cozy did two turns,passed me the ball and shouted
"20 seconds"
As I jumped j could feel my heart pounding and this time the slow motion started again,I got back and ground,looked at the counter it was stuck at 18 seconds,was I the cause of the slow motion?,who was doing this?I needed answers but at that point what was more important was winning and as I took the shot the whole time pause came to an end and we won.
Nobody else knew what happened,just me.
And why did it happen?
"I always knew you had it in you kid" Cozy said as he gave me a fist bump
On my part I was legit scared,what was going on? AM I A NEW ME OR ITS JUST THE GAME? and who was the LADY?

So i was going through my account here today and i saw a post from @Momentswithmatti about her family delicacies which you should check out here and that really got me,so i thought I'll be listing a few of mine here today. https://read.cash/@Momentswithmatti/our-homes-favorites-031ff904
Well here in Nigeria we're are blessed with recipes and cooking techniques from different ethnic groups. Nigerian foods is a feast for both the eye and the stomach so anytime you visit Nigeria for the very first time,be sure to check out our cuisines. Here are my top four Nigerian foods you should try.
Jollof Rice
Image source https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRhY0eBCeKq8s18xt01OIcxhXGJSyL3eeqV6g&usqp=CAU
Jollof rice is one of the most popular dishes eaten in Nigeria. The base of this delicacy are rice, pepper and tomato,it can also be garnished with carrots,onions,prawns,butter and green peas (as you desire). Jollof rice is most times eaten with some side dishes which varies depending on the individual,side dishes such as bean pudding (*moin moin*),Fried plantains,vegetable salad with cream and you make do with whichever protein you'd like such as fish,turkey,chicken or beef.
Most times i can clearly see why the popular musician Cardi B had a taste of it when she visited Nigeria.
Pounded Yam (*Iyan*)

One other sweet Nigerian dish you should try is pounded yam. I feel it is predominant among the Yorubas and it dates back to many centuries.
Pounded yam is similar to mashed potatoes and is mashed together using a mortar and a pestle,blenders or mixer which produces a smooth sticky dough making it a little different from mashed potatoes.
It can be eaten with different stews and soups like melon seed soup(*egusi*),Leafy vegetable stew (*Efo riro*) and i know that most Tribes make a special soup from using the water used to boil the yam in boiling the dough for a while and adding very little or no palm oil then adding ingredients like scent leaves or vegetable leaves and fish,chicken or meat.
It is a heavy meal which is served as early dinner or lunch.
Pepper Soup
Image source https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQB5IRSD7KGOlSFPZmJlKGbk-2bfW4xghtIag&usqp=CAU
For those who like night life,this is the perfect Nigerian dish. Pepper soup is a popular soup in Nigeria and also a light, spicy soup. It's usually served in local bars and best enjoyed with chilled beverages.
The soup is made of ingredients like onions,chili pepper, habanero pepper,ginger,garlic, tomatoes and other condiments. In addition a variety of meats are added which makes me think its similar to the '**'Ginataang Manok''** @Momentswithmatti posted. The meats include Beef,chicken and chevon.Each dish usually contain several pieces of different pieces of meat as desired.
As a result of its spices,this delicacy contains various nutrients such as iron,zinc,potassium,vitamins and others.
Spicy Grilled Kebab(*Suya*)
Image source https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTnfz1xoSuuZLSSP3I7KtV4i_dUjF1PzA6oZA&usqp=CAU
Suya is a flavorful Nigerian dish from the northern part of Nigeria. It is a Hausa specialty made by grilling pieces of skewered meat especially beef with salt,onions,ground peanut pepper and other spices. The spices give it a hot, juicy taste.
If you like night life,this would surely be something you would see on major streets as vendors line the streets st night to make and sell Suya. It is also served at parties with small chops such as samosa and sausage roll.
***There are more dishes that'll surely interest you when you visit Nigeria for the first time,but for me these are my top four.***

I got this article idea from her
Free men: Is it just basketball skills
Hey dad'
Hey Khode,how was school?'
That wasn't quite what i was expecting him to ask me,it's just like just getting stabbed in front of someone and the person still asks you how you got stabbed.
How was school?....dad seriously?......aren't you living on earth no more?'
Those were the words that managed to come out of my mouth as i managed to contain what i felt at that moment. For a minute he kept quite and then just said to me.....
something on your mind?'
Hell yeah...why is everyone pretending as if they didn't see it happen?' i asked him raising my voice a bit
You watch your mouth son....i'm your father and not one of your old school friends'
He said that with a lot of authority in his tone that i felt this fire ignite inside me as if he was doing it on purpose,just letting me get mad so i raise my voice.Like am i the only sane person left on earth?........what really happened to everybody?.
Look i'm sorry dad,i'll just be in my room' I said,trying to sound as calm as possible and left for my room.
Your mom wouldn't like you keeping things from me'
He uses this line whenever he wants me to talk or tell him things,my momma died on the 23rd of June due to pregnancy complications when i was about 14 years,thats about two years now. This time his old trick wasn't working cause i was so confused and talking to anyone at this point would get me messed up the more.
Up in my room i went online to see if any of what happened today had been put online but hell no!!,not even CNN had it covered or was it too early? or did it only happen here in Detroit? i got confused even more and decided to sleep over it but i couldn't seem to get it off my head.
Somewhere else
Yo bro,did you notice anything off about the Black Angels today?'
That was Kelvin a random kid obssessed with basketball and seems to notice whenever anything is off or has changed in any team.
No?,what did you notice?'
And this is Cozy,a member of the Staxx team in highschool,he's known for his lightning long range shots on the court.Most people call him Cozzy Stormzz for the way he slams the ball in the hoop.
Well,i did notice Nick was a faster than he has ever being in his last five games,you think he's on drugs?'
A loud laugh filled the dressing room as Cozy couldn't help but laugh at what Kelvin was saying like he was overrating Nick, but no he wasn't that was how Nick was during the game,it's just Cozy doesn't think about anyone except himself.
you think it's funny?,shouldn't you be concerned that if you guys faced them this weekend you'll get jammed?' Kelvin had his serious face when he said this one.
After he said that Cozy slammed the locker in front of him and said to Kelvin...
Bro,i think you're forgetting what team i play for.....we have three of the best in our team'
For one,that was no joke,in the whole of Detroit we have what we call the 12 elites,a bunch of really good teenage basketballers with handles and dribbles like they were from the lineage of Micheal Jordan or Lebron James and three of them are in the same team as Cozy,Team Staxx.
Let me remind you Kelvin.....'
but i know what i'm saying' Kelvin cut him short
Don't do that when i'm talking,you know how much i hate it.......and enough with this saying all of a sudden Nick of the Black angels got his speed up and can now stand the Staxx' Cozy as always was saying this with confidence.
The two of them just walked out of the dressing room when Cozy starts talking again.......
You see we got Jay Bills one of the hottest elite with high misdirection skill and you know no school team has been able to break through his signature demon slam,then there's Clark Lucas with his Vanishing dash which helps our attack and his phantom shots whih gave us sixteen points in three minutes in our last game,then the backbone of our team Cole Bashar,you and i know that guy is a demon in human body,no team has ever gotten through our defense no matter their speed. So what makes you think the Black angels and Nick stand a chance even if he was on drugs'
Well,one can't be too careful' was all Kelvin could say after being forced to listen to the biography of players he already knows.
And slowly things were changing......not only in the basketball team or is this a coincidence that everyone should overlook or is this the DAWN OF A NEW ERA?.
Blessed be those who know for they shall learn the ways of the elites
Black Panther 2; a game Changer?

Free Men:The Genesis
Would she be OK?
What happened exactly Khode?
Make way for the medic!!
Her pulse is abnormal,she needs immediate attention!
That was the noise that filled the class approximately thirty minutes after Kinary,the beauty goddess that came to me turned her back to leave for her seat.What happened exactly?, let's go back in time a little.
'I'm a straight A student, I've been since i started school as a kid, competition is always my thing and i always win or be in the top three'
That was what i could say after being enveloped in that dark room for what seemed like eternity. Looking at her closely, she looked like someone who likes to make friends and is an extroverted person but deep down i had this ominous feeling and i didn't know why.
Making her way to sit on the seat beside me i immediately figured out that she wasn't leaving till she knew the kind of person i was.
'What's your name', she asked offering me a candy bar.
'Khode,my name's Khode.........what's yours?'
'Call me Kinary,its what everybody calls me But my name is Daniella', somewhat she smiled while saying that.
'So.........', as if in just a few seconds i had forgotten what to say,I just looked at her praying she'll ask something instead and save me the situation of looking stupid.
'So what?', she said looking at me directly in my eyes,that gave me shivers,she shouldn't have done that because that moment i felt like she was messing with my head.
Looking away,I asked, 'why do they call you Kinary?'
As if i had asked her to go on a date with me,her facial expression looked as if she was both shocked and happy at the same time but she didn't reply so i felt i did something off and said
'ooh sorry if i asked the wrong question,i just wanted to know a little more about you, you know its only my first day here'
'K....Kh.....Khode.....are the clouds green or its just me!!' she shouted drawing the attention of the rest of the students.
Everyone scurried to the nearest window to catch a glimpse of the green clouds and soon the whole school was staring at the clouds in disbelief and asking questions mostly to themselves.But I didn't bulge as if it was normal,i could feel the ominous feeling in me growing and it was then i discovered the whole school had been enveloped in a trance,their eyes were red and only a few of them were green.
I looked over and shouted 'Kinary!!' Kinary can you hear me!!' Her body was cold,her eyes green and all I could was shout I ran towards Fash and he was the same,his body was also cold.
'Is this the end of the world?'
'Why am the only one not hypnotized or part of whatever is going on now'
'Is the Earth going through another phase of evolution'
These were the questions in my head as i ran out of the school to the road and it was happening everywhere,everyone was staring at the cloud!!,just as if they were been controlled in an RPG game they started moving back to what they were doing before and somehow the clouds were getting clear.I ran back to school everyone were back in class on their seats as if they were controlled by something unseen and just then the clouds gave a loud thunderclap and the green clouds were gone and everyone were back to normal and started like nothing ever happened.
out of shock i went in front of the class and shouted
'Are you all normal!!'
'Are you guys OK?'
No one gave me attention,it was almost like they didn't hear me and just then Kinary tried talking to me and she slumped.
'Get the school nurse' shouted a guy close to her
I tried getting close but was shoved aside violently by this huge guy whose name was Micheal who had carried Kinary and was heading for the school hospital.
I started thinking
'Am i the only one seeing me?'
'Why did everything change so quickly in a space of thirty minutes?'
What had happened?......Is this THE END OR IS THIS A NEW BEGINNING?

Growing your business network and boosting your sales without paying.
Every business no matter how big or small wants to survive and make sales but most times we encounter different problems along the way that makes our goals seem too hard to achieve.
*Please note that the strategy I'll be giving out here is a strategy i use for my mini-scale business and results may differ from your large-scale business.*
What we have to do in the first place is quite simple.
For a neat work space we would and should start by first outlining our problems in order of value before scale of preference,allow me to explain.
1. Scale of Value.
Image source https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/scales-picture-id163732822?b=1&k=20&m=163732822&s=170667a&w=0&h=L6SVRfDdcKzsURiROoGH-tLp94CUIxvveTqpPDOMPJY=
In small-scale business we spend money;
On getting products
Covering for transportation to get the products
and we loss money on some goods that expire in store or spoils......because we don't have insurance to cover them
In Large-scale business we send money;
On getting products
Covering for transportation to get the products
On getting brand logos and other accessories that help us market our goods
and we loss money on some goods that expire in store or spoils because we don't have insurance covering them.
Having all these in place helps us understand our scale of value and questions we need to ask ourselves now are questions like;
How do i reduce this losses?
How can i avoid letting my goods expire in store?
the answers to these questions are simple
First
Getting what customers need before what they want
Then collecting feedback by engaging in little conversations when they come to buy from you and this way you can as them what they think you should change or add to fully satisfy them.
Second,
Getting in line with those you deal with and keeping a good relationship with them,by this i mean those people you buy your stocks from like if you are a retailer buying from a wholesaler.
Why is this important?
Keeping a good relationship with your dealers is essential because these dealers know what goods other brands like yourself are getting at the moment,so keeping a good relationship with them helps you extract these information from them and it helps you clear your store before the goods expire or damage.
Then finally patronize them every time and checkup on them randomly too
Doing this you have built the foundation of your network.
2. Scale of preference
Image source https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/portrait-of-her-she-nice-lovely-attractive-cheerful-glad-crazy-girl-picture-id1132757237?b=1&k=20&m=1132757237&s=170667a&w=0&h=q4MnTm6X_YVuytbwTw02aoo86Bs58g-3aaCa_XdWE3g=
After building your network foundation from your dealers,you now have to choose and choosing wisely is what would help you make more sales than your competitors.
What are you to choose and why
After getting the List of goods that make sales faster than others,what you have to do now is select according to;
The profit you're getting from it
The rate at which it sells
how it would sell in your own area.
The profit you are getting should be the first thing you consider so it helps you know what to put on top and what to put under or cross out.
Then you have to select the goods according how fast they sell while simultaneously calculating the profit you would be making.
After doing that,you would notice you are left with options that would really help you quickly and not those that slow you down
Then finally what you do next really matters,you don't just buy that particular good cause it sells faster at a particular location,ask yourself, would it sell in your own location as fast as it would sell in that other location.
How do you get rid of these problems?
you run a quick survey from your existing potential customers
Potential customers are those customers that would buy from you at all times wouldn't hold back from answering you when you ask them some questions.
Hitting through these potential customers helps a lot because some of these customers go out that to even help you get some information too thereby spreading your network and sources from which you get your information.
*This is all i have to pour out here,this is what has helped me for a long time and i hope it does help you too.*

Free Men
The birds singing,the skies bright and the roads dusty, today is another normal day for me,My name's Dhark Khode. Some random high-school kid with an attitude of not caring and just living every second of his life to please family especially his dad.
'Do this, do not do that'
That's basically how my life was built since elementary classes. Thanks to that I've always being either a straight A student or in the top three,believe me when I say it gets hard when you grow older. My dad put in a boarding school after elementary classes and one day my school gets robbed and i begged him to take me out of there. Later I got into a day school close to where we lived and I didn't know it at the time,but my life was about to change.
'Class be quiet!!'
That was the voice of our class teacher, Mr Walter the sixth god, he was given that name 'the sixth god' because for some reason he knew almost everything happening in and out of almost every class and could take almost every subject there was to teach a high-school student.
Pointing in my direction he said
'We got a new student joining us today,he was transferred from central city boarding house because he was scared of catching a bullet or two'
I looked at him with disgust and the only thing i felt at that point was pain and was like why does he have to say that in front of everyone like it was that simple?
The class started murmuring at this point and i walked to a seat next to the window with this one girl in front of me,a guy beside and another guy behind,all that never really mattered because i never planned on making friends.
'Nobody likes you'
Who said that?
that was my invincible man Pecam,he started visiting me since my pre-highschool days and has been my only friend till now.
'Pecam you think she's cute ?'
'What?.....the girl in front of you?.........yeah she's cute'
'Think I should say hi?'
'Someone's coming'
I looked behind me and saw this melanin beauty walking towards me,I already started having goosebumps till she walked right pass me and someone tapped me on my shoulder.
'Hi,I'm Fashan'
It was this very one kid about my height looking down on me on my seat,i just said to him
'Hey,I'm Khode'
'So are you like the class welcome committee chief?', I asked smiling
'Nah,I'm the class captain', He said staring at me as if he was looking for some answers.
'So Fash is what I'll call you,we could be friends'
'Yeah sure,class is starting soon,we'll talk later' He said moving back to his seat.
At this point i felt like i could feel at home after all i don't plan on being introverted. Just then the melanin girl from earlier on walked up to me and said....
'Hey,you think you could keep up with our academic pace and still follow the class vibe'
At this point the class became dark as if we were in total blackout with the only light coming from this beauty goddess in front of me.
What should i say?
Would my response hit her?
Why am i having this feeling?
What is happening to me?
I couldn't find my voice and just stayed there staring at her in this dark room Until something happened.
This is a story with episode and this is just the beginning. Hope you all love it.
Would be adding names from my friends @FashTioluwa @Fash_Tioluwa and @Miika thank you all for being there.
