If You Don't Know The Difference, You Are Heading Straight To Poverty.

Truth be told, I am not the only one who has written or will still write about this issue because it cuts across all human spheres of life including different communities and societies. Source…

Which Category Do You Belong? I decided I was going to be talking to us conscientiously in a bid to lend a helping hand to others through my articles who may have found themselves in ugly situations in life but who may not understand why they are passing through such a phase in their life even as they try so hard in making it in life. It has become a pertinent issue that a lot of persons struggled through these same things last year and ended up not knowing that that was…
Think Twice Before Taking That Step. I grew up in a family where everyone is loved by both parents and even extended family members i.e. uncles, auntie, cousins and nephews alike. This love flourished so well that as a child I could make a demand of what I want at any giving time and that request will be granted provided it does not go against family norms and social standard.

Come Let's Reason Together. Have you thought about a life without rules or should I say law and order? A life where everything and all things are acceptable, where there is nothing like judges or law courts and even policy offices where issues can be treated. Everyone will be free to live the kind of life they want to live not minding whose ox is gourd. Each time I think about a life without rules, one word just comes to mind is **CHAOS.** Deep Thoughts.

The Change Starts With You And Me. This article is born out of the happenings I have witnessed so many times in my life. It is all about human beings and their sycophancy. Severally we complain so much about our government inability in making policies that will change our standard of living for good and in extreme cases we go into the streets to protest just to make them understand that we are not happy with what and how the country is been run.

Be Careful Not To Cross The Line. I woke up this morning with so much enthusiasm and overflowing energy to work harder and smarter than I have been working since the beginning of this blessed year.

How Would You Be Remembered? Waking up to the sad news of the death of a loved one is so heart drenching because you will be completely thrown off balance from thoughts of how it all happened to thoughts of how the surviving immediate family i.e. the wife and kids will be doing at such a moment is so sad.

The Man Hanku. Hanku rushed after the thief who came to his house at night to steal with the machete, running so hard as fast as his legs could carry him to catch the thief or even cause more harm to him.

It was in the early hours of the morning while most…

Don't Just Answer It, SafeGuard It. In a ratio of 1:10, you have been asked this question that most times looks and sounds very simple. We are asked this question on a daily bases, in our workplace, even as we drive around, at the emigration centres while we try to secure safe passage into another country.
