This time around the journey seem more far than usual, she even expect the cab to be faster since it won’t stop at all bus stop, she was really tired of the long journey, she decided to rest her eyes for some few minute, she closed her eyes for two minute, she cab didn’t stop, by the time she open her eyes again, she saw two extra men sitting at her side, one at her right and the other at her left.
She was shocked and confused at same time, she didn’t know was to say, she felt they are other passenger but she didn’t expect the cab driver to carry another passenger, yet she couldn’t complain or say a word even when she had the urge to, was it fear, she thought to herself, it can’t be fear, she’s not scared, but she can’t talk, it was like they have been traveling forever, she wanted to take out her phone to call her dad but her hand won’t move, she just sat there, finally they got to a location she knows not of, it was all busy, the two men came down from the car and ask her to come down to, she obeyed to her surprise, what’s going on, where am i? that was the thought that was going through her mind, the men gave the cab man some money and he went away, they asked her to walk through a narrow part and she did, they continue on their feet for about 10min, finally they got to location that look like a mini village, there were hut in some place, there was a big shine, there some huge men at the entrance as she enter, in one of the hut, she looked into it as she pass, she saw some pregnant women in it chained both hand and leg, it was a disgusting sight to behold, she saw some men on the floor that look lifeless, could they be alive she thought to herself.
She got to the last hut and there was a queue of people lining up, she was asked to join the queue and she did, the queue consist of both men and women, both young and old, there was an old men looking like priest in front of them, he had a red object in his hand, he use it to touch the people on the queue head then decide which hurt they would go to.
That was when the reality hit Titi that she has been kidnapped by ritualist, she was trying to pray but no words could come out of her mouth, she wanted to call God name but it was like her lips were sealed, as God forsaken me, didn’t he hear my prayers this morning, what sin have I committed to be in a situation like this?, all this thought were running through her head as the old man was about to touch her with the red object, as he got to her front, he got angry and asked, who brought this girl her, can’t you see there is a fire surrounding her, the other men said they cant see the fire, he then said, if she's not taken out of the shine immediately, it would cause problem to the spiritual rite they are doing, the priest asked them to take her out and kill her somewhere else.
As soon as she stepped out of the shine, she began to gain strength, her voice was coming back to her little by little, when they got deep into the bush, she spoke for the first time and it shocked the men with her, she said they should excuse her, she would like to ease herself, they decided to allow her since they are still going to kill her, she started walking, she was walking and couldn’t stop, she didn’t know where she was going but she was walking, she got to a place, tired and confuse on the way to go, she cried and called the name of God, as she open her eyes, she saw a white Ram at her front, it started running and she followed it, she ran and followed the ram all night, until she got to the express way, she didn’t know how she got there, she try looking for the ram but couldn’t find it, she was back to her senses, she find a place to hide till the day was bright, when it was day time, she borrowed a phone and call her parent, they were already worried, she was in 3state away from her state, a good women kept her in her house till her parent arrived, but she couldn’t remember a face of any man she saw, as she explain all that happened to the police.
Since that day she never badmouth any one that fall victim of ritualist or kidnapper, instead she pray for their safe return because she knows only God can keep them safe.
The End.
I Figured Rusty Out (Random Rewarder)
Sometimes I do think I was the only one that have been trying to figure rusty out, but after I read @Theblackdoll article on This or That, I woke up to reality that I wasn't alone in this pursuit, it was funny how many people have come up with different theories after many research on how to get on the @TheRandomRewarder good side, after all my research which I'm going to share with you, I've finally come to a conclusion. https://read.cash/@Theblackdoll/this-or-that-my-type-814e1e94
These are some of my research, I have been on this journey since I joined readcash
1. Tagging a lot of people
The first theory I tried was tagging many people on my article, I notice I had a lot of upvote even from rusty, I was like, so this is the secret, I publish another article again but didn't tag people, things don't too much will get you in trouble, surprising rusty upvoted the article more, now I thought I had the secret, I did the same thing in the next article, I tag more people, and I didn't get any tips except from the one people gave me, I had to test the theory several time, and it turns out that wasn't rusty way, so I tried another theory
Including link in your articles
When I say including link in your articles, I don't mean foreign links, I mean, any link that can lead to more explanation of your article, so in my article, I refer to some of my article in my recent article, I was thinking I could draw rusty attention, but I figured I was not the only one putting link or referring to my previous written article, so I decided to go around read.cash and check around, I figured people who have link in their article, their upvote varies, some are higher than other, then I decided it was the way also, that was when the next idea struck me
Reward via the amount of subscriber
I went around to check people with higher subscribers and I notices they have higher upvote forgetting to check the beautiful content they have written, I was only focusing on their subscribers, I see some with $13, $10, $9 on one published article, then my new goal was to pursue more subscribers, I was ready to wait until I have more subscribers and earn more, then one day, I saw one amazing article, I really love topic and the write up, I even tip the person $0.10, I went immediately to check the person subscribers, to my surprise, I was 60subscribers ahead of the person and the upvote he had on that article, one of my article haven't gotten such upvote,😮😮, this made me conclude, most of the upvote might not even come from rusty for those that have many subscribers, some content are just so beautiful that even rusty can't look away.
In conclusion
After all the research and tested theories, I come come to the conclusion that Rusty as its popular name, the Random Rewarder is actually a rewarder that rewards randomly, just as @Theblackdoll said, Rusty is a smarta$$, well if you have more theories, you can drop it in the comment section and I would be glad to test it.
But my final conclusion is that, I figured there might not any theory that can crack rusty up cause it is always watching us from a loop hole so we can't outsmart it.
*Disclaimer: This article is not intended to to find ways to crack up the rewarder as I believe there is no way to it, this article is intended to be a fun and educative article for all, everyone word said is to pass information people can learn from.*

A Blind Ear: A true life story
The story you are about to read is based on a real-life story but modified, maybe I will just call it a fictional story since it will be modified, but note this, all true story told by another person is mostly modified, I will tell it how she did, it might get scary at some point so grab your popcorn.
It was so early at 6 am when Titi stepped out of her room to prepare for another day of work, she went from room to room to wake her siblings and parent up for the morning devotion they customary have and she have never missed one. Her parents were proud of her in that aspect, Titi has always been the star in her family, first to graduate with a good degree and she has a good paying job, Titi is someone who loves God so much and she believes her life has been so good because she has always followed God rules, after the prayer she prepares for work, it was 7am, as Titi wore her shoe, she decided to check the news, another body found again, *how come these people get themselves kidnap?, titi said,*
Her mom: **come on, don’t talk like that, it just God that has been protecting us, those people don’t have two head,**
Titi replied her mom: **that’s not true, the reason is because they are not good Christian and they don’t follow God's word that’s why they get kidnap and little jazz will work on them, let anyone try me, fire will burn them.**
Her mom was in no mood to argue that morning because she knows her daughter so well, when it comes to argument, she can forsake her work and argue for the rest of the day, especially when it comes to religious matters. Titi continues to murmur to herself saying, all these people don’t know God that’s why bad things happen to them or they have sinned and didn’t ask for forgiveness.
She put her toast bread in her box, pours her tea inside a flake and bid her parents goodbye as she head out to her office. it is just a bus from her house to her office, she board a bus and got to her office safely, spend her normal day at work, immediately it was 5pm, Titi when down stair to the mini board room to pray since it was not in use, she thank God for another day, the work done, and everything she had, she went back upstairs to bid her colleagues goodbye as she not the type to stay late at work.
She got to the bus stop, but the bus was coming late today, she decided to wait some extra minute, after another 30minute of waiting, yet the bus didn’t arrive so she decided to take a cab which is more costly but due to the fact that the bus is running late she had no choice, the first cab that came around, without even asking, she jumped in so other won’t get the chance to do the same, immediately she enter, she told the cab driver of her location, the driver just smiled at her and drive off.
This time around the journey seem more far than the usual, she even expect the cab to be faster since it won’t stop at all bus stop, she was really tired of the long journey, she decided to rest her eyes for some few minute, she closed her eyes for two minute, she cab didn’t stop, by the time she open her eyes again, she saw two extra men sitting at her side, one on the right and the other on the left.

Federal Government versus ASUU; What you should know.!
Many federal university student are actually lamenting and angry currently, especially those in their final year, and why is this, it is because the Academic Staff Union Of Universities, (ASUU), have been on strike several time which has delay the academic session of many student in different federal university.
While many of these students blame the politician, some blame ASUU staff because they refuse to meet up and come up with a lasting solution to the strike. Many student believe the reason why they cant meet up to an agreement is because none of their kids study in any of this federal university, most of the politician kids are either in a private university in the country or are studying outside the country, same goes for the staff of ASUU.
Recently another 3 month strike was announced, student have no choice than to go back home and get something to do than stay in school and do nothing, according to the ASUU official page on twitter, they said “ASUU president just confirm that the union will be meeting with the management of the national information technology department agency(NITDA) by 2pm today (Monday) over the deployment of the UTAS for the payment of university lecturers.”
This tweet was a day ago then another tweet followed it today saying “FG tells ASUU Nigeria minister of education, Mallam Adamu Adamu has claimed the government has already made by ASUU, hence it was wrong for the union to extend the strike instead of suspending it”
The public don’t even know the decision that was made, cause another meeting has been schedule again for a meet up, and it’s a closed door meeting, no one knows what is been discussed and what are the condition the ASUU wants the federal Government to meet, all we know is that the federal government is owning ASUU a Huge amount of money of about 1.3 trillion Naira.
These are some of the response from the Nigeria student on twitter
Something the student fall to understand is that the Academic staff union of university (ASUU) is also fighting for them, many of the lecturers in the federal university are in support of this strike because many of them are underpaid or are being hold salary. Normally, a lecturer is meant to take only 100student at most, but you see the university admitting over 700 student in a department and they all paid school fee and acceptance fee and some other fee that is beyond our thinking just to extract money from student that want to learn, how the federal government is asking, where did all that money go to, most of the university can’t answer that question, all they want is that the federal government meet up to their demand and pay them, and the federal government on the other hand are not ready to pay those who won’t answer their question, they won’t pay a lecturer taking 500 student any additional salary as many lecturer want increment in salary, they would only pay the normal percentage they think is right to be paid.
Another thing is that, the university lack proper infrastructure for proper learning, this is another thing ASUU is asking for, sometimes I wonder, why can’t they use all the fee collected from the extra student to develop the school than wait for the federal government. I don’t know what to say, what I will say is that “birds of the same feather, fly together” due to lack payment of salary, this has pushed many lecturer into doing things to get extra money, like payment to get good grade, payment to miss exam, payment to miss project defense and many more.
I hope things get settle soon so student can go back to school and complete their education and pursue new dreams. Thanks for having me.

Do You Know Me?, Yes you can.😄
Good evening everyone, I hope you had a great day, I would like to share some things about myself like @Olasquare did once in one of his previous article **Things you should know about me**. Its a very interesting article and you can get to know more about this awesome writer. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/things-to-know-about-me-24b80019
Do you know me is a very popular question by people who want to proof themselves to other people, but its not always like that in all aspect, when you meet an unfamiliar face that greets you, and you don't know the person, you ask this question, Do you know me?
My short history
My full name is Fashanu Tioluwanimi Ademola, I came from a nuclear family of 6 with 3siblings, a father and a mother. I'm a Nigerian, and I hail from Kwara state but lives in Lagos state, I study public administration in Kwara state polytechnic Ilorin.
My favorite sport
My favorite sport is UFC, and I always support Isreal Adesanya, he is one of my favorite kick boxer, I also like wrestling, I don't know why I like sport that deals with fighting, boxing is also a sport I like, and finally, I love football too, I'm a Chelsea fan and I must say, all the sanction imposed on **Roman Abramovich,** is just so unfair, I wouldn't want to go too far.
My take about kids
I really love kids, I do love to have them around, it surprise me when I carry a crying baby, the baby will crying and start giggling, some people will say probably its a sign that I would be having a kid soon, naaah, I'm not even ready of having one now, also I love twins the most.
Introvert or Extrovert?
I would say I'm more like @Princessbusayo who is in between, I'm not totally an introvert, there are day I just want to be alone and stay indoor no matter the friends that come visiting, I would still stay indoor, and sometimes, I'm the one who initiate the outing cause I'm bored. When I'm with my close friends with no new face around, I tend to go all out, I wouldn't mind the environment, I would be in the center of all discussion but when I'm around people I really don't know, even when my friends are around, I will just keep to myself and listen.
Since when have I been writing
I can't really remember when I started writing, I have been writing since 2017, I do write stories back then and normal article, my first publish article was publish in a magazine by **The Nigeria Red, Cross University** Of Ilorin detachment, I wrote on different Campus Life, the article writing was sent to different people and I'm glad mine came up because I'm sure dozens of people must have submitted their entries too. After that, I started writing stories on WhatsApp which made my view increase, @Kristofferquincy told me about read.cash September 2021, well, you can know more about that story from my first publish article on read.cash, **The Writer In Me!** The first people to welcome me are @HappyBoy @Olasquare @FarmGirl @Grecy095 @CoquiCoin , I can never forget them, some of them, we have never separated since that day. https://read.cash/@FashTioluwa/the-writer-in-me-ee7a69a2
That's for now, I don't know what to say again, but if you have other question to ask, you can ask in the comment section, if its not a private matter, I will answer you, I would like to call out my friends on this platform too, @Amazing-grace @Kingsley @Bilqees @Daria and many more I can't mention because if I'm to tag them all, it would be an endless list, less I forget, my teachers @Fexonice1 and @Kristofferquincy
They are much cause I have learn from different people on this platform, but this two names, I learn directly from them, and I'm grateful too. Thanks for reading, I have always been glad and grateful.

An exaggerated rain story; Enjoy😀
It has been the sun shining on me all day and I was thinking of how the heat would be again this night not until the weather suddenly change from bright blue sky to a dark grey sky, it became windy immediately and I was glad cause it was about to rain, the way the wind blew, it made me remember a woman who explained her predicament to my mom as rain wet her on her way back home from the market, she really exaggerated the whole story which made it very interesting, I would tell the story the way she did, I hope you like it.!!😁😁
She started like this
Mummy Tioluwa, you won't believe what happened at the market today, hmm, it was God that safe me today, I would have died today, thank God I'm a strong woman
My mom
Ehn ehn, what happened, tell me!!😶😶 (shocked)
I was in the market o, and the breeze was just blowing small small, I was even thinking it was a normal breeze not until the wind started blowing with rage, (rage ke) I ran to hide inside one shop, as I peeped from the door, I saw one man flying as the wind was carrying him, he was just shouting, that's to tell you how strong the wind was, you know what, that was even a small one, I saw a cab and I quickly enter so I can get home early, as the driver was driving, the car was already getting lifted from the road 😶😮, the driver had to drive fast to a tree and tie his car to the tree to the wind won't take it away,😯😯. The driver said he won't go in my direction again that he can't die young, I was so angry ehn, I came down from the cab angrily, and started walking towards my bus stop
My mom
Aha, and the wind didn't carry you??😮
You should understand I'm a strong woman, but the story is just even starting, when I got to the bus stop, it started raining so heavily, the sky was so dark I thought the rapture was about to take place if you see the way thunder was striking, I have never seen such in my life before.
It was heavily so heavily and I know the place o was hiding was about to collapse, I decided to enter the rain and start walking home, you won't believe immediately I left that place, thunderstruck that place,😱😱, it was God that save me, I was walking so fast I didn't notice the rain was already causing erosion, by the time I would notice I was almost home, by the time I got to that erosion junction.
My mom
Oh, you mean the place people hardly pass when it rains, why would you follow that place??😲
It was the fastest route to get home, let me finish my story before you ask question, when I got to that junction, I saw many kids trying to get to the other side but the erosion was so much, one small boy entered the erosion and was struggling to get to the other side, as I was watching him, I knew something was wrong, before I blink my eyes twice, he fell and the water was already carrying him away, without excitation, I jumped into the erosion, swim towards him and him out of the water, it was still raining and I could see clearly.
Because of my sweet nature, I had to carry 7 children one after the other to cross the erosion, while I was crossing the water, the water was already reaching my shoulder side I had to put the kids on my neck to cross, I had to spread all my toes to get a good grip of the floor so the erosion won't fall me, I wonder who their mother is. Anyways, that is what happened I said I should branch and tell you.
Now back to me
Back then I was a kid, around 11year or 12years old, I believe everything she said that I get scared to go out when it rain, and if its gonna rain, I would prefer to follow her than follow my mom cause I saw her as a superwoman who can do all thing when it rains, it was after I got big, and I started going out myself and pass through everything myself then had the experience I knew it couldn't have been the way she said it. Currently, it's raining outside now, I'm in my small crib with a hot tea, music is on, the room is warm, I hope you all have a nice night, byeee.. Till next time😊😊

Honestly, let's take a moment and thank God, I thought of the things that are going on in the world, many of us are living fine, we are not in war zone, we eat three or twice a day. I'm just grateful, I just felt so grateful this night, and before I sleep, I want to thank God for everything I have. Thank you.
What App do I use the most?!.
The idea of writing about the app I love the most was gotten from from an article publish by @meitanteikudo on his article on an interesting APP, I actually have forgotten the name of the app, but its in his recent article, you can check him up any time you like, at the end, he initiated a prompt and I decided to partake on it.
But before I write, I would like to congratulate myself on my 100th subscribers and will also like to thank the people below for always supporting me
This article is sure gonna be short, I hope so😊😊 I'm just gonna answer some few question. Go with me
What do usually do on it, and how do you us it?
The app is a popular app used almost all over the world, what I use it for is, I chat mostly on it, view pictures of my friends and family and check update.
How many friends/followers/subscribers do you have ?
Concerning that, I can't really tell, though I have many friends on this app, while some people I don't even know them, can I count some as subscriber? I'm not sure but all together, the number is a thousands plus+ (1000+)
Do you earn from it?
I wouldn't say I earn from this app, but I'm sure I earn through the app. Can you guess the app now?
How much time do you spend using it day?
I really don't spend much time on the app during the day, mostly active at night, also it depend on the mood I'm, if I'm not in a great mood, I mostly don't use the app, I'll just leave all the message unread until I feel good, but I check to see if there is a business proposal on it.
Can you consider yourself addicted to his app? Why or why not ?
I don't see myself getting addicted to this app, cause I tend to run away from this app even if its the one I use the most, sometimes I hardly login a day, not to now talk of other app, most of my application auto freeze cause I don't use them. So I don't see my self getting addicted to it
If the site or app is shut down today, what do you think will happen to you? What would you do?
This is a funny question cause this application has been shut down several time, and I switch to an alternative app that perform similar function. Though the difference is there. I wouldn't want this app shut down, cause it will make things a bit difficult for me.
So what app have we been talking about all this time, its no other app than WHATSAPP📞, I'm sure many people use it too, anyways.. You can join the prompt and answer all this question too.. Have a nice day and enjoy yourself.

Are you ready for success?
This is a prompt writing hosted by @JonicaBradley , I would be writing about success today.
Success
Every successful person is a champion in the race of life. Success is not closer to a man than failure. Both success and failures can be traced in any man but what you choose determines the result you get in life.
****It is good to be successful****
What is success?
Success means achievement. Anything you are able to get done has results into success for you. If you perform any operation on your bank app the answer may be either successful or failure. It can only pend if its in the middle but no matter how long it waits, the answer must be one of the two.
**Success is a choice.** Everyone wish to succeed in life but only few people work towards it. The moment a problem arises people shift back and would not get up again. Any plan or goal you are able to achieve is called success. Only successful people never give up.
Your heart is the first place where your success journey begins and then your mind. If you are not moved to be a winner, you remain a loser.
**Success is a thing of the mind**. It requires determination, dedication and a good time. Your mind is the engine house where success is produced. If you think you can't get it done then you can't!. Successful people always have golden mentality. The mind of a failure will always stinks and eventually become rotten.
***Successful people are driven by their goals.***
Another set of successful people
On your way to the land of successes there's one important virtue that must be found in you and that is Yours
**CHARACTER**
Your character determines how you flow into good success. If your character is bad your success is not certain. Build good character.
**NOTE**: you can't Succeed Alone. Therefore you need good character.
You need others as a step to step up.
Also, you must cultivate a habit of selflessness. Selfishness is an enemy of success. It is usually said "He who eats alone dies alone". Selflessness is the beginning of a successful journey.
Success requires hardworking. And hard work also demands quality time. Time is valuable. Your success in any area of life is defined by how you use your time. Time is the only money we trade with in life. Learn to manage your time.
If you don't manage time well achievement may be delayed, abandoned, destroyed and changed negatively.
Every good planner is on the high way to succeed. ***Goals - setters are pace - setters!***
When you don't take your time to set your goals and attach them to your heart, someone else will use part of your time to achieve their own goals and that is why we have more employee than employers today.
Every winner are always driven by their great goals.
Don't give up trying until you take it, then your success is sure!
Remember, **WINNERS NEVER QUIT AND QUITTERS NEVER WINS**.
**Success is a continuous process.** You can't afford to succeed in one area of your life and fails in other. It must be balance. Success covers all areas of ones life therefore I urge today, make your plans.
HOW DO YOU SET GOALS
1. Prayers
2. Listing out all plans you wish to achieve
3. Writing. Always write down your goals and work on it daily, it drives you to keep pursuing it.
4. Discussing with people who can support encourage and advise you.
5. Ask questions.
**Note: Diligent + Determination + Decision + character + sacrifice + Prayers = SUCCESS**

The last time I felt fear😬
**This is a true life story, if you want to enjoy it, you have to read through.**
December 31st 2019 in surulere, Lagos Nigeria, I and my family, my parent and siblings went to church for the cross over service, it was a day of joy because the whole world will be entering a new year not knowing we would be encountering covid-19 soon, on that day, we did dance in church, I met many of my friends and the joy in the air was so much I forgot all my trouble and sorrows. Immediately it was 12am of January 2020, we all screen happy new year, we did our normal prayer and close the service at 12.30am.
On our way back home, I was still at the back discussing with some of my friends that live in that area while my parent was at the front already, even while it was 12am, the street was filled with people, it was like day time, I decided to join up with my siblings, my brother was waiting for me so it wouldn't just be me on the road, and then everything happened. Just take it like time had stopped.
As I walked towards my brother and closing the gap between us, just in between those gap, a girl and her friends were walking towards my direction, and some group of boys walking towards my brother's direction, in that instance, one of the guy drag one of the girl phone and took off, the girls started screaming, the guy pass beside me and I couldn't stop him, the girls try running after the boy but the other guys stopped them, I was so powerless, I couldn't do anything, everything just happened so fast, the guys were laugh and push the girls away, one of the girl even fell down, and she was crying. I just walk pass them, other people were celebrating, it was like nothing happen, but something happened. I was so sacred and I hated myself that day.
The day I over come my fear and save a young girl
It was a cool evening and I just woke up from a long sleep, I decided to walk out of the house and do some hiking on the hill not too far from my house, the sun was still on and the day was still bright but I'm sure in 2more hours, it would be night time. On my way to the hill I notice people aren't on the road like they use to, but I decided to go on, I got to the place that the bush was much, instead of going too far into the mountain, I decided to take a shortcut to my favorite place on the hill. As I was pass through the bushes, I heard a scream, I stopped thinking it was a bush baby crying, I continued but at a slow pace, then I heard again the scream with some words; **Please, don't do this to me, I won't pass here again.** I started withdrawing back but I remember the day I couldn't save those girls, and decided to see what was happening there, I walk silently toward were the sound was coming from, I peeped and saw two guys trying to gang rape a young lady. The guys don't look strong, from my hiding place, I used a thick voice and said: **If you value your life, you would leave that girl alone and run away**. Thinking they would go, one of the guy started looking for me, the fear in me started growing again, but I took a bold step, I scream from my hiding point and run towards the guy looking for me, not knowing where the sound was coming from, he got confused and I landed a strong punch on his stomach, right on his abdomen, he fell, the other guy seeing his friend on the floor ran towards me, he tried to punch me, I just used one of the defense mechanism I learnt from takwando class. I took his hand over my shoulder, put a leg in between his leg and throw him to the other side, he landed hard on the floor, I and the young lady made our back to the safe community, we narrated what happened and I was praised to be a hero.
The End.😁

Jack The Ripper. What you should know and the recent incident!!!.
Before I start writing today, I have come to understand that some people are reading what I'm writing now at different times, it's morning in someplace, afternoon in others, and nighttime for some people.😥... Different people, different time zone, but it's good too you know. Currently, there is something called sapa in my country which I'm battling with, pray for your homeboy Fash.😫. Now back to the topic.
History repeats itself because humans fail to learn from history.
A particular name has always popped up in movies and anime I watch, like black clover and record of Ragnarok, and this name is JACK THE RIPPER, when I first heard the name, I felt it was a normally used name for a movie, but again it was repeated in other movies and this made me want to know more about the name, Jack the ripper.

Jack the ripper is the name given to a serial killer in the East end of London after a series of death of a young lady in 1888, it was said that the killer goes after prostitutes, the police started their investigation when a series of bodies were found dead in some part of the city, one interesting fact is that some of the internal organs of this victims were missing which made the police assume that the killer must have some medical experience. I'm sure you would think this would help them find the killer faster, but the investigation got tougher when bodies started appearing in different parts of country, between August to November 1888, 5 ladies lost their life to this vicious killer.
I would have assumed the killer was selling the organs to a black market for easy cash, but I doubt such a thing could be happening in that era. Well it may be happening without us knowing
The number of victims of Jack the Ripper is unknown till date, after a series of investigations, many people were arrested as suspects, people with medical history but there was no evidence to prove them guilty. Till date, the identity of Jack the Ripper was never discovered.
Current incident!!!

Recently in my country, a body was found at the roadside in Lagos state, after the body was found, it was later discovered that it was the body of the missing lady.
The story.
A lady got a message from her friend on WhatsApp telling her she was suspicious of the driver's attitude, the bus was governmental, and the bus light was off, she later got a video from her friend showing the driver from the back seat, she then got another message that two more people have entered the bus, and that was the last message she got from her friend. She was declared missing because she didn't make her way home, after two weeks, she was found dead with some of the body parts missing, the bus driver was declared wanted, the search for him became intense and he was found, after much questioning, he said he didn't know anything about it.
The bus driver said, after the other two individuals entered the bus, they pointed a gun at him, and ordered him the place he should drive to, when he got to a particular location, the guy went ahead to drag the lady out of the bus, he said he was helpless, he saw them dragging her from the bus, he thought she was holding on to something inside the bus, so he drove off thinking she was still inside the bus. That was his side of his story.
Now, do you think he is innocent, to me, I don't, I don't even believe a single word he said, questions like, why didn't he report to the nearest police station? Why did he wait for two weeks? why is he just talking after he was apprehended?. There are still so many unclear things, but one thing I hate the most is a human that takes another human life.
Thanks for reading, I hope I didn't spoil your day with my write-up. Good night from here. You all should be safe out there.

What does your Emotions say about you?.
Today article is base on the lesson I learnt from @fantagira article title **Why envy when you can admire and learn,** and also from @Theblackdoll article titled **If you're blessed , stop bragging**. Though, if some of us come across these article, there are series of things to learn from it, and what I'm about to say might be totally different from what you saw there. https://read.cash/c/promptlyjonica-b4a0 https://read.cash/@Theblackdoll/if-you-are-blessed-stop-bragging-a6c501e7
After reading this two article, they seem a like in a way, which is what brought aboy today title, WHAT DOES YOUR EMOTION SAY ABOUT YOU!,
According to Merriam Webster dictionary, emotion is define as
A..conscious mental reaction (such as anger or fear) subjectively experienced as strong feeling usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body
This make me wonder, is emotion truly a chemical reaction in our brain like some scientists claim, is there more to emotion?. Like you know, there are different kinds of emotion a single person can feel, some can even feel more than two kind of emotion at a time, one can feel angry and same time be happy, sadness and fear, and many more.
What can emotion do
Do you know you can sense what other people are feeling by just looking at them. Yes, emotion can show on ones face or the way the react, mere looking at a person, their behavior is controlled by the emotion they feel, that's why a person can make a promise they can't fulfil when they are very happy then realize the mistake they make, are we going to say they aren't conscious of the time they made the promise, no, they are very aware, but at that moment, they can't do anything themselves.
A man or woman that gives in to fear and anger always have a high chance of causing harm to another person, in fact, people tend to stay away from people that have anger issue. Sometime, it not their fault, I have come to understand that any emotion people show, this are emotion they grew up with and it would be hard to change it. People that hate, they grow up hating, people that envy grew up with such feeling.
What to do about it.
When you notice a bad emotion you get always, either from what you see or ear, always try to control your emotions, people who can't control their emotions always get in trouble at work, some people just want to see you sad, but the level of control you have over what you feel will also determine how strong you are. As a parent, learn to teach the kids how to love,not to say hate words, to be contented, all this will go a long way on how to they would be portray in the society and who they would grow up to be.
In conclusion.
Women are portrayed to be the most emotional one among the two gender which is true, this has made them to be tag as fragile and unstable, but the truth is that, this is what make them strong, the emotion they feel and at same time calm themselves like nothing happened, this is strength no one no know about, emotions don't make you a weak person. Happy women's day to all the wonderful women out there.
Thanks for reading, thanks to my newest sponsor @Mictorrani
Its world women day, happy women day to all the strong and soft women out there, to all the mothers, sisters, and lovers, you all are wonderful people, we love you. Enjoy your day
Sapa don catch me😥😥😥😫😫 I hope you understand
Big shout out to @Mictorrani, I never knew I would get notice by such a wonderful person.. Thank you so much.. I remain loyal
She broke up with me on the altar after we got married
It was in February we mark our 4th dating anniversary and I felt I need to take it to the next level, things had been going well with me since I finished my degree, getting a job was proving difficult but I did everything a man was meant to do and I was living fine, I was introduced to her family the second year of our relationship, I already met her parent and her siblings even before I completed my degree, everyone knows we are dating, and I seem to love her family because they never push me to do things I never want to do.
Lead image **source** https://unsplash.com/photos/qQ01rvKkE0w
I came home from my current job, my mom already prepared my food, she was always happy to see me since I'm her only son and child, she was a single parent from an early age, my dad passed away when I was very little, so even after my degree, I decided to stay with her and do my best to take care of her, though I have other plans for Elizabeth, that's the name of my Ex-wife "***Elizabeth***"
Elizabeth was such a sweet person, she has always been there for me even before we started dating, after we started dating she had been a great help to me, not like we don't have money, my mom is such a great woman too, I always wonder where she gets her money, because she hardly leaves the house and anytime I ask for money, she always provided, I really don't like asking money from her so I struggle most of the time to provide for Elizabeth need, it little but it shows I'm a man.
Early August, after we celebrated 4years of our relationship, I decided to take the relationship to the next level, my crypto investment (Bitcoincash and smartBCH) finally paid after 3years of investment, I had millions in crypto, I do tell her about crypto and bitcoincash, she never took it seriously because she has little knowledge about it. August 6, I went to her house with the diamond ring I bought from the ring shop, I already consulted my mom and her parent, so she was the only one to get the surprise, after lunch, she kept asking me when will I leave, she hasn't always been like this, I thought she wasn't comfortable with me in her home since all her siblings and parent where around. I never mind that, I stood up and went to where she was sitting, knelt at her front, brought out the ring, and asked her to marry me.
Her siblings were screaming "**Say Yes**" her parent were just there smiling, there was great joy in the air, she collect the ring from me, put it on her finger, pull me up and hugged me. It was the best day of my life, after a month of the proposal, the wedding was fixed and all the preparation was done, I noticed she hardly smile like she use to do before, I felt it was due to the stress from the wedding preparation.
It was the wedding day and everyone was so happy, my friends were around, the family from both sides, my mom kept on smiling as she greet other family members, the cook where at the backyard cook, I can't still believe my mom bought a cow to celebrate my wedding, after all the preparation, I was dressed, I and my best man went to the church, everyone was seated as I stand on the altar waiting for my bride, immediately I heard the sound of the piano, I knew she was entering the church already, the smile on my face was from my right ear to the left. She walked up to the altar and stare at my face. The pastor starts the sermon, and we went for the question of "**Yes I do**" and exchange of rings
She said hers and I did too, when the pastor asked me to kiss the bride, tears started pouring out of her eyes, at first, I was overwhelmed cause I know the joy in her, but after some seconds, she started crying for real, I was confused and asked her what's wrong, I couldn't leave my position, all eyes where on us, some people were smiling, somewhere doing video, somewhere confuse as I was, "**Elizabeth, what's wrong talk to me**" I was almost in tears too, she then said, "**I can't, I'm sorry, I can't marry you, you don't deserve a person like me"** then she ran out of the church, her sister followed her and some of her friends, I was just standing on the altar, I couldn't move or hear a single thing people were saying. My mom was talking to me but I couldn't tell what she was saying, the next thing that happened was, I fainted.
After several months, I got to know she had been seeing another guy and was 3weeks pregnant during our wedding day, what surprised me was that she allowed us to get married first before divorcing me in just a day, I also found out my mom's own 2 company, it was part of the inheritance my dad left me before he passes on to the afterlife, what shocked me the most was, Elizabeth parent knew about this and still went on with the wedding. Since that day, my life had never been the same.
The End
😊, the story you just finished reading is fictional, how did I get the idea, well yesterday night, I was having a sleepless night, and different thought was just running through my mind, as my eyes were closed, everything I wrote now was playing in my mind that night, so I decided to put it into writing, I hope you enjoyed reading it.

What makes a good husband or wife?
Salutation, wonderful people of read.cash, I bring you good tidying again, what are we to look into today, what makes a good husband or wife? I won't go too deep but I will share just one simple scripture verse from the bible that I believe everyone can learn from
Lead image source https://unsplash.com/photos/lSqXGb-M4uY
Ephesians 5:25 KJV
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians 5:22 KJV
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
When a man and a woman decided within themselves to become husband and wife and went to the alter to say yes to the "for better for worse, in sickness and health, in riches and poverty" there are some keys they should really understand before venturing into the marriage, many people rush into marriage due to one reason or the other, some of the reason is written in one of my article "**The Right Age To Get Married"**, and because of this, we have many broken homes, lots divorce filed in court, a fighting partner who hate themselves, cheating spouse and so on. https://read.cash/@FashTioluwa/the-right-age-to-get-married-337347e5
What makes a good husband?
I will be explaining this from the scripture I got.
***Husband, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;***
Many husbands, after the honeymoon and a few years, they forget the responsibility that was given to them to become a good husband, which is "***Love your wife"*** some husbands are always on the outlook to see if their wife love them, a man shouldn't concern himself with that, your own is to love your wife, a man that loves his wife will be ready to do anything for her, be ready to take any insult, be ready to overlook mistake, ready to sacrifice for her, even if she doesn't do all this, as the husband, keep on loving your wife.
One thing many new couples (husband) don't know now is that the more you love your wife the more she will love you back if a man gives his wife 100% love, he should expect 80% back, and if the love depreciates, so will the love of the wife, that's why the bible didn't ask the wife to love, it gave the responsibility to the husband.
What makes a good wife?
Now let's go to the wife part, what makes a good wife?.
***Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.***
A good wife will submit herself to her husband, what does this mean? it means a wife should respect her husband. No matter the situation, a wife should always respect her husband, how can a wife disrespect her husband?.
As we all come from different background, culture, country and we have different norms that guide us, every wife should understand this, a wife should study her husband to know his do and don't, what he likes, how he wants to be served, the kind of food he likes, this way the husband will feel loved.
Many young wives today are fighting for equal rights in their marriage, they talk back at their husband, some even insult him to his face, forgetting the responsibility of submission to their husband, a wife shouldn't expect her husband to submit to her, but the other way around.
I will leave you with this final scripture, think about it.
Ephesians 5:33 KJV
Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

I'm back home; Home sweet home
Today I decided to travel back home because of all the hard times I have been facing in school, you can read how rough my day had been; A Rough Day, you will understand more. https://read.cash/@FashTioluwa/a-rough-day-907a6c2c
Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/KUkPXm5weXA
I woke up at 6 am to get prepare for my traveling journey back home, I slept late last night just to wake up weak this morning without the zeal to travel again, but then I remember what the driver did to me, the fetching of water, and my crush😐, I jumped off the bed and went straight to the bathroom, after I was done, I got to the pack at 7 am to meet many people waiting for the next bus heading towards my location, when the bus came around, there was rushing and fighting so one can enter the next bus which makes me wish we had a better transport system, probably an electrical train. Luckily for me I got on the bus, the journey was long but Glory be to God I got home safe.
When I got home, I tried to sneak into my room unnoticed like I did one year, I got home, sneak into my room, took my bath, and slept, when it was nighttime, I just walked out of my room and scream surpriseeee😀😀, but it didn't work for me, I was caught immediately I opened the door, everyone was at home, including my siblings when my mom saw me, she was so happy, she ran towards me and gave me a hug, such motherly hug which I have missed so much, after the hug, she prayed for me, asked my brother to take my stuff to my room. I was really glad to see all my siblings, meanwhile, she already prepared jollof rice for me before my arrival.
After all the merriment and joy, I was been updated on all the issues that have happened in the neighborhood
Firstly, my elder sis cut her hair to low cut, such beautiful long golden hair, she cut it, how could she, I was really shocked when I saw her, but that was the last thing I got me wahoo.
One boy in our neighborhood went to play football at the field not too far from our home, a very fragile boy he was and yet he went to play football, during the match, he struggle with another opponent, he was pushed and he tried to balance with his hand, immediately his hand touched the ground, his bone broke and came out of his flesh, I was worried for him, I wanted to go to his house to check on him immediately but I was asked not to since I was just coming home.
Thanks to these wonderful people
Another one that surprise me was our tenant that was owing my mom a 3month rent payment and refuse to pay, instead of apologizing and begging, he was insulting my mom, refusing to pay, and also refusing to move out of the rented apartment, well since I'm home, I will handle things like a mature man, though I didn't come home to fight anyone but to have a restful break before returning to school.
I'm just glad I'm home, home sweet home for me. @JonicaBradley

A Rough Day
What you're about to read is a true life story, well I'm sure you must have known that, also many or few people will be able to relate with this.
I study in the northern part of my country, in most country the north is most cold place in the country but my country has proof this theory wrong because it has two kind of weather that are always extreme when its their season. The hot time and the cold time, my country "Nigeria " isn't a snow falling country but when its the cold season, we dress like those in the snow falling country because the cold is always extreme. When you want to take your bath, you have to boil water cause we don't have hot water running from our tap, so we have to boil water and take your bath immediately if not, the water your boil hot will get cold after 15minute.
But that's not were I'm going, we are in the hot season now, and the heat is highly extreme this year.
I woke up this morning very tired and stressed, I stood up from the bed around 9am, the tap already stop running water because we couldn't buy water into the tank, yes, we do buy water and get it pumped into the tank, recently the people supplying us water decided to increase the fee due to the scarcity of fuel in the country, we do buy water at $6 before but now the price that was given to us was $12, that's double the price we do buy it before so we gave up on buying water and decided to fetch it. I went out to get water from the well.
Well- a deep pit with water at the bottom.
I got to the closest to the house, due to the hot and dry weather, the well was dry, no water in it, I was shocked, I decided to move further away from my place in search of water, the second well was locked, the third one, I couldn't only fetch water mixed with sand, I was beginning to feel frustrated, then a woman advised me to go to a particular location where there is a borehole.
Borehole- a modernized machine that has to do with one moving the leverage up and down before water can come out from the tap.
The place was so far but I decided to go since I will be traveling to my parent place tomorrow, when I got to the location, the number of people I met there was so much and they were on queue, if I was to count, I would be the 56th person to get to the borehole, I had to wait for 2hrs because some people brought 5bucket to fetch water while I went with only 2bucket.
After I fetch my water, I walked a very long way back home, before I got home, half of the water had dried up already😫😭😫, I had to manage the water to bath, cook and keep for other use.
I stepped out of the house, board a taxi, got to my destination and paid the driver but he refuse to give me my change, he said the price to the destination I was going had change, I was like " so why didn't you tell me when I entered" I enter the taxi and refuse to come down until I was given my change, the driver started driving, and I was screaming at the top of my voice like a passenger that was being kidnapped, the driver pack and we had a hot argument, other taxi drier started to pack to ask what was wrong, I explained but to my surprise they all supported the driver. He dropped me at a wrong location and drove off without giving me my change, now I had to enter another taxi back to the place I was actually going.
I was really sad and worried, immediately I saw my crush, all my worries and sad faded away, we had a long talk and it was getting late, I offered to walk her home but she said she wasn't going home. I asked where she was going and she said she was going to Daniel's house, my rival, I wasn't comfortable again, "Daniels house?? To do what? Its late already, why don't you want to go home?" Her response was "I dont want to sleep alone at home" 🙄😮💔💔,
another heartbreak for me, I got to know she had been sleeping in Daniel place for a while now. As at that moment she was talking to me, it was just going through my left ear and coming out from the right. I went back home with a heartbreak and more determination to leave the city back to my parent place. I wish myself a save journey tomorrow.

My journey into the world of smartBCH and NFT.
Image source https://images.app.goo.gl/FEV3HY1MaSRvxHMr8
I joined readcash September 2021 and since then I have been able to acquire a lot of knowledge about cryptocurrency, I kept reading and learning more, then I stumble upon a write up from @Pantera on how people have been making more BCH via smartBCH, I commented on one of his article on how I can go about it, he told me to make more research before venturing into it, I knew if I did it myself, I'm bound to make mistake, so I kept on learning and reading more about it, I also saw a post from @FarmGirl and @jane talking about minting an NFT, talking about staking and many more terminology that sound new and strange, but I still don't understand, I do ask a question and I get a favorable answer, I keep this answers and continue with my research.
During the middle of February, Mr. Felix @Fexonice1 wrote how he earn a lot from NFT via smartBCH, so I decided to continue asking him questions, to my surprise he was quite a nice man, he answered all my questions, and decided to put me through after I asked him. I downloaded the METAMASK App and set up my wallet address, I was given a 12word phase just we all got when we newly register on readcash. I had to change the network to BCH, he was there to put me through.
I fund my wallet with some BCH I know I can afford to lose cause this is still the learning stage, but I don't plan to lose any funds at the learning stage😀😀 , I used hop.cash to fund my wallet
At first, after I sent the money, I expected the money to appear immediately in my wallet just like bitcoin.com wallet does, about 10min the fund I send from my wallet on bitcoin.com wallet to metamask wasn't reflecting, I had to message my trainer again, and he told be to be patient, it felt like I had done something wrong, I was being to feel restless because it was my first time. I know how long it took before I could raise that fund. In a short time again, the money reflected in my matamask wallet, finally j can breathe.
There was an upcoming NFT program and I was told to partake in minting it, I was really glad because, in a short period, I have learned so much, now I can brag to my friends again, the ones who are yet to know about smartBCH, if you read **HOW READCASH AND BCH MAKE ME LOOK SMART****,** you would understand more, on Sunday 27th of February, I did partake in minting SHORAI, https://read.cash/@FashTioluwa/how-readcash-and-bch-make-me-look-smart-amongst-my-friend-4c392856
There was a lot of trouble minting it, but I did well, then I checked it on oasis.cash, it was there, it was also in my NFT token wallet, I could sell it if I wanted to, but I would wait till early March for staking, I hope things turn out well, if you also mint the SHORAI NFT, you can drop a comment. Here is my SHORAI NFT
Well, my learning phase stopped at the staking side but before staking, I will have to know how to stake, what, how, when, where, how to make a profit via staking.
I would really like to thank all the writers out there who have to share their knowledge with the people on this platform, I really appreciate you, I might not remember all your names, though I have come across your wonderful writeup, you're wonderful people, keep doing what you do, share your knowledge and it shall enlighten the ones in the dark.
Thanks for reading, thanks to my sponsors, thanks to my trainer, thanks to Marc and the developers, I wish you all a blessed week. Also, all those people I mention, I would advice you follow them if you want to know about about the article title, they write amazing article that can help you learn.

What are the 7principles of Red Cross
Before I write on the topic, I would like to write out the Nigeria Red Cross anthem.
You can catch up more on the Red cross from one of my articles Red Cross: the strength of nations https://read.cash/@FashTioluwa/red-cross-the-strength-of-nations-148a4187
We are the members of the NRC we shall never go astray, with the 7 principles of the IRC, direct and guide our way, humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, universality.
The 7 Principles of the Red cross has been recited in the anthem and these includes
Humanity
Impartiality
Neutrality
Independence
Voluntary service
Unity
Universality
My friend here @Okeh will understand more because this user is also a member of the Red cross. The 7 principle is the guiding rules that help us uphold our norms and value.
Thanks to my sponsors. And back to the full gist.
Humanity
According to Merriam Webster dictionary, it defines humanity as compassionate, sympathetic, or generous behavior or disposition **:** the quality or state of being humane. A Red cross officer must possess the quality of humanity, a person with a wicked heart can't be a Red Cross member, even when a murderer is injured and needs the assistance of red cross personnel, you will have to put all feelings aside and assist such person even if the person has done you harm before, that is what it takes to be a red cross officer. You just have to care for humans, because you're a human too.
Impartiality
Not..partial or biased **:** treating or affecting all equally. A Red cross officer must never be biased, or impartial, when it comes to attending to causality, you have to treat the most affected and do the first thing first, protect yourself too so you don't turn out to be like those you want to save. As a Red cross officer, you don't look at skin color, tribe, age, sex e.t.c. you just have to do your job and save the one with the top priorities.
Neutrality
the quality or state of being neutral
*especially* **:** refusal to take part in a war between other powers
Red cross is neutral, they don't side when it comes to war, they are just there u help the injured one, just like the war the world is focusing on now, **Russia and Ukraine,** Red cross would never pick a side to support, they won't bother themselves with who's right or wrong, in, stead they pray that there should be any War.
Independence
A Red Cross must be ready to be independent, in a situation where there is a car accident and there is only one Red cross officer on the field, the officer must be ready to improvise and attend to all the injured people before help comes, he must be ready to help all the people there without help and before help come. That is what it means to be independent as a Red Cross personnel.
Voluntary service
The title already tells us what it means, in the Red cross, people aren't forced force to join the organization, all the working personnel joined voluntarily. Anyone can be a member so long you have the zeal to help people, you can always join and make a change in this world.
Unity
Unity is one of the factors that has to keep all Red cross members all over the world, the respect given to a Red cross office in his country will be the same respect given to him when he goes to another country for official Red cross business, we are united, we are one all over the world. It doesn't matter the state, country, tribe, skin color, language e.t.c. Together we are **ONE.**
Universality
One important principle is that Red cross is universal, that is, all over the world, that's the aim of Red Cross, to be all over the world and be there when help is needed. The are around you if you look well, they are in your school, they are in your surrounding.
I'm proud to be a member of the Nigeria Red Cross. I hope you're able to learn one or two things from the article about Red Cross. Have a nice day. More good vibe this month. You can catch up on the first article about Red Cross via the link above.

A feeling of depression and a wish
It wouldn't surprise me when most people say they are depressed, with the way the world is turning out to be, Wars and rumors of war, hunger, famine, death, helplessness, the economic, corruption and many more. Its normal for someone to think about these things at a point in time and at the moment of doing so, depression set in, this is because we all going through a phase in our life right now without the ability to change the situation, sometimes this feeling of depression put tears in our face.
Yesterday I got back from school without taking my bath while I was going because there was no water, I had to wear a very clean cloth and use perfumes, thinking by the time I get back home, the electricity must have been restored giving us the change to pump water into the tank, oh, I forgot to tell you, the electricity has been out for a week now and we don't know the cause or the solution, there's fuel scarcity in the country which makes it very hard to get fuel, I can't charge your electrical gadget, I can't use the fuel generator, I don't have a running tap, getting food is really hard. Its like everything out there is trying to kill me or make me miserable.
Its like there is a negative force or energy circling the earth right now which is making people do things that would hurt other people, I'm not in for this negative energy for I fight it off anytime it tries to set in, but recently, this depressed feeling just keeps getting me.
I have made the decision to travel to see my parent, I never depressed when I'm around them and they offer the best if advice.

How I got my first scar hoping it would turn to a tattoo.
When I was a kid, I watched a lot of TV drama and action movies, I'm always wondering why the antagonist is always the one with the tattoo, I feel like they are trying to pass a message that only the bad guys get tattoos, and the lessons I got from my scary dad preach to me how a tattoo is really bad, I think all Africa parent feel this way. Back then when I was a kid, I got bullied a lot, this sometimes put tears in my eyes, back then, parents in my country don't take bullying so serious, they would ask you to get back at the bullies and if you can't, they would believe you're not smart or shape
My school was far from my house and I had to go by myself at 7years of age, I had to enter 3bus before I get to my school, I go every day all alone, even though I get bullied, I never for once ran away from school, I would go up against them and get beaten again.
Until one day, I felt like if I get a tattoo, the bigger boys would fear and leave me alone, I thought of all ways to get a tattoo, as a kid I didn't know tattoo was drawn by tattoo artist, I thought everyone with tattoo drew it themselves, also I felt if you want to be a bad boy, you have to have a tattoo and people would fear you. Then decided to ask a friend, he gave me the scariest and most stupid way as I think about it now, but back then it seems like the most ideal way.
My friend told me to get black charcoal, then use a razor blade to draw the kind of design I want then use the grinded coal to rub the cut, then boom, I have a tattoo. I already got the black charcoal, it was just remaining the razor, my mom won't let me get close to any sharp object, so decided to save up and buy the razor blade myself. On this faithful day, on my way to school, I already collected my transport fee from my dad but I wanted to follow a free moving vehicle. There is something they call "TAMO" This is the process of jumping on a moving vehicle heading towards your destination and jumping down after the driver slows down a bit, also you would only jump in the vehicle only if the driver give consent.
I trying to TAMO on a moving vehicle that day not too far from my home, as I run after the lorry, as I was about to jump at the back of the lorry, my leg miscalculated the speed and my life was about to be swapped away. After I fell from the lorry, I hit my head on the floor, roll like 5times before I stop, the driver didn't even wait to see what happen to the kid that fell from his lorry😥😫, he just increase his speed and drive away.
I went back home crying because I was already bleeding from my arm, it was a deep wound, my uniform was already soaked with blood, the sight of my blood scare me more, I thought I was gonna die, when my mom saw me, she ran towards me, carried me up and began to take off my cloth, administer first, took me to the hospital for proper treatment, after a while I was doing okay, I couldn't go to school for someday. One evening I just remember my grinded charcoal, I went to get it immediately and started applying it to the wound, now I'm wondering how my wound heal so fast, thank God for my studio decision to add charcoal didn't turn my wound from bad to worst when I resume back to school, I showed my classmate, "Yo man, I got a tattoo" I told them I did it the way my friend asked me to, for sometimes, some bully fear me because they believe I'm a more bad boy now that I have gotten a tattoo. My wound heal and turn into a scar, a beautiful one, I was the first kid in my school to ever get a tattoo and I was respected for a long period before my luck faded off.😀😂
The End.

Red Cross, The Strength Of Nations
Red cross, the strength of a nation isn't just a mere phrase, but the real truth. I would like to enlighten you on some facts about Red Cross.
What is Red Cross about?
Red Cross is about helping the helpless and rendering first aider to a causality, luckily I'm a member of The Nigeria Red Cross society, Kwara state polytechnic detachment.
Image source https://images.app.goo.gl/wuQvMCwEwNc2CzxM6
The logo of the Red cross was gotten from the flag of Switzerland cause that's where the founder of the Red cross emerged from, that is, he was born there. The founder of red cross, sir Jean Henry Dunant, was on a journey to meet Napoleon111, then he encounter a lot of wounded people on a Field, and this was cause because these three countries had just fought a war on that field leaving many wounded, Italy, France and Austria. Sir jean henry Dunant has to let go of his journey to assist these wounded soldiers and even sort help for the neighboring town to help and this gave birth to the organization, **RED** **CROSS**
The Red Cross had to create a new logo because some countries said they can accept the cross, but this didn't stop the goodwill of the founder, there had to improvise and this gave birth to the new logo but with the same aim and objectives. We have 4 emblems in the Red Cross and these include
The Red Cross
The Red Crescent
The Lion and Sun
The Red Crystal
Even with all these different emblems, 7 principles guide them all. **Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, Universality**. I will take my time to explain the 7 principles probably in another article.
The Nigeria Red Cross.

I'm a member of the Nigeria Red Cross society, Kwara state polytechnic detachment, and I can say, being a member has been a blessing, I have learned a lot of things, How to attend to causality, and this does come in handy, I have my Basic First Aid certificate (BFA), Practical First Aid certificate (PFA) and many more. Currently, I'm at a red cross training camp in the University Of Ilorin detachment.
Meet some of the wonderful people, in times of war, we are always there to help, you will see many volunteers going to a different countries just to help because we believe in humanity, we never wish for War, it's against our principles.
In conclusion
I know some you must have heard about the red cross or must have seen the logo somewhere before, either on TV or in hospital. I would employ you all to have a skill on first aid, we are all over the world, you can go to any branch and equip yourself with the knowledge of first aid, there are still many more to learn, I can't just tell you all about it, but I will again. Just the Red cross today and safe a life tomorrow.
Thanks for reading. God bless you all... Much love to you

The Right Age To Get Married
Many people always get this topic wrong, what you're about to read will enlighten you to a new world of marriage, I hope you're able to learn from this, I would talk about how long a relationship should last before it leads to marriage, the right age to get marriage, Goals, and dream of couples before marriage. So let's go!!
How long should a relationship last before it leads to marriage?
What you're about to read is from my point of view and based on my research.
Society and the older generation has put a time limit on how long a relationship should last before the couples get married, to me there is no time limit on how a relationship should last before marriage, if the guy and the lady love each other and are fully prepared for what is to come after marriage, then they are good to go.
I'm not saying when a guy and a lady meet themselves today, and they feel like they love themselves they should go on with the marriage, that's not my point, at least they have to know themselves first and get to know a person with their characteristic shouldn't take more than two to three month, if its a serious relationship, discussion about the future or where the relationship will lead to should be discussed already.
There are some facts to consider before deciding to get married.
Financial stage of both partners
Goals and dreams of each
How mature and prepared they are
Family
Communication
Tolerance
And many more.
The right AGE to get married
Society has put an age to the time to get married especially for female children when a lady is getting to age 29th or 30th, you will year people around asking, "when will you get married" "where is your partner" this happens to both the guys and the ladies. When it comes to the guy, the parent is the one that asks this question the most, and the truth is, there is no right AGE to get married. The place we grow up, the tradition, the norms and morals, the environment sometimes put an age limit for marriage, when a person hasn't met up with the right requirements of marriage, the person should rush into the marriage and when they do, it always turns out bad, that is why we have more divorce case these days.
In conclusion
Many people have rushed into marriage because they believe they have passed the age limit of getting married and this is a threat to our society as we have many divorces now, single parents, and many broken homes. The parent shouldn't force their kids into marriage when they aren't ready and prepare for it, marriage isn't something you rush into, it's a lifetime decision and it should be taken with all seriousness.
I hope you have been able to learn from this, if you have additional words, you can add them in the comment section, I will read, reply and tip.
Thanks for reading, I hope you follow up for more.

Economy: You all are dead.
Recently, things have been so hard for my countrymen, the economic state we find ourselves in has been hell for many people that earn little, even people that earn more have been finding it hard to substance their daily expenses as they continue to cut down their expenditure just to meet other primary needs.
Apart from other things that have been trying to kill us, like stress, sickness, kidnappers, serial killer, and many more, the country's economy is out there, hiding in everything we do try to kill us. An average human in my country that earns $100 a month might need an additional job to sustain his or her needs. The value of that money might look small in some countries, but in my country, that is about is over 50,000 in naira, and it is not even enough to cater to one need.
A man who earns $100 with a wife and one kid would find it so hard to survive in this current economy, the fee to send his kid to school is already taking half of his monthly salary, not to mention the basic needs like food, shelter, clothing and so on, he will be frustrated every time and hardly will you see him smile, especially when he is the sole provider of the family. In this current economy, if the husband is the only provider of the family, I'm sorry to say that the family will suffer.
Recently, fuel has been scarce in the country and this has caused hyperinflation on all goods and services. Talking from a student perspective, a student who is in school that has to provide everything for themselves out of the allowance gotten from their parent, some students receive 5,000naira which is not more than $9 per month, with the inflation in food, clothes, transport and many other things that money can buy, how do you expect sure student to survive.
That's why I'm not surprised anymore when I see young kids and youth venture into all kinds of shady things just to get money and improve their livelihood, I'm not saying doing a shady job and evil things to get money is the way out, but the economy has pushed them to this, the economy has failed us. Many of these youth are naive and ignorant of the right way to make money, with readcash many people in my country are doing well, there are other means to earn a good living, then at that, the government Ban Cryptocurrency, it's like all the policymaking is just to frustrate the citizen.
But one thing I know my country people for, we are strong, we don't give up, we don't back down when one problem shows up, we are quick to find a solution to it when one way is blocked, another way is open, there are so many smart people among us, but most of them have decided to use their smartness the wrong way.
In conclusion.
Presently in the country, people are suffering a lot to get their daily food. Those who are working and those who do not, have little difference, and all these have little concern to our so-called leaders 👌, what many of them care about is how to add and get more money to the one they already have.
Our dear parents who used their life serving the government are not paid their entitlement and then, some of our leaders refused to retire from office for the young ones because they know they will surely lose everything when they are not there anymore, they prefer staying there till their last breath.
Graduates are not getting employment and some who are getting are not well paid according to their certificate.
Our economic situation has pushed so many people into what they don't plan for, they do this just to survive hunger. People now go the extra mile to get their basic needs, many people cant come out bold to tell the kind of work they engaged themselves in all in the name of '**I want to survive**' and everything still bounces back on the situation of our ***Economy***.
If the economy continues like this for 3-5 years, we all be dead because the generation behind us will do even worse than what so many youths are into right👌.

A fight between I and My Girlfriend.
In fact When a guy and a lady love each other so much, they would fight over the silliest thing, to think I and my girlfriend would fight over who I take pictures with, after the story, I know some ladies would support her but I know the guys would be with me😀😊
Lead image https://unsplash.com/photos/-CaJIE1MiA4
The story started from this day.
My girlfriend made a complaint that I don't tell her about my friends and the female friends I have, that I'm always keeping things to myself, me knowing her very well knows how jealous she can be, so I only tell her bout my guys. Until one day she pushed me to tell her about my female friends.
As a guy, I wouldn't advise you to tell your partner about your female friend that you're very close to, especially your childhood female bestie.
So I was thinking of a female friend to talk about, so I decided to tell her about a friend that we are close with no string attached, I know this female friend has a pure heart towards me and she's a supportive friend, I even know her boyfriend, so I told my girl about my friend "Blessing". Blessing is so nice, I told her about some of the pranks she played on me, and some of the hangouts we do have with some of my other guys' friends, I guess I spoke highly of blessing since she's should a nice person.
So my girl visited me one day and I introduced her to blessing, after the introduction, on our way home.
Babe: So that the blessing you have always been talking about
Me: Yes, that's her, isn't she nice☺😊
Babe: maybe too nice, I notice how she was just looking at you and ignoring me😒
Me: but you talked to her, and I felt you both are bonding🙄
Babe: Does she have to hug you when we are about to leave?😑
Me: But she hugged both of us😮
Babe: It's ok, leave just forget about it😒
Me: Ok baby, there is nothing between us, just friends.
Babe: I didn't say there was something between you both unless there is something😶
Me:......😬
Babe: So you would ignore me now right
Me: but babe, why are we having this conversation, thought you liked her.😌😌
Babe: ........
The day went like that, and after a few days we forgot the conversation, and we moved on, not until last Valentine, we had a Valentine seminar in church and there was a red Capet for anyone that would like to take pics, I was inside the church waiting for the seminar to start until my friend Christopher and David came around and ask me to take pictures with them on the red Capet with the dozens of advert behind us, I decided to join them cause I'm not a fan of taking pictures, so once in a while won't hurt, to my surprise I saw most of my friends outside taking picture including blessing, so we all took lots of pictures. I told my babe about the seminar, all we were thought and I told her I took some pictures, she knows I'm not a fan of pictures demand to see the pictures, I told her I didn't take any personal pics, but I will ask my friends for the picture cause I didn't bother collecting the pictures, only blessing sent me the pictures we took, she already deleted the ones she didn't appear, she sent the pictures late in the night and my girl was asleep already, so I sent it knowing she will wake to the pictures, I didn't think of anything, I just send the pictures to her, cause I had nothing to hide.
Only for me to wake up to dozens of messages on my WhatsApp from her.
She knows what she did was wrong, she said all this because blessing was in the picture🙄🙄, I saw the message and decided to ignore it cause I was so speechless at that moment, I didn't even know what to say and reply, she then tries to cover up with "Happy valentine to you honey, I love you so much" I read the message and ignore too, but I will never ignore her when she asks me to call her, so I put a call through, and she started saying sorry, but she just had to say how she felt, I was like, "so that why you call me immature, probably you get a mature boyfriend "
I could tell from her voice that she was feeling bad about what she did.
Babe: Honey, I'm very sorry, I just had to tell you how I feel😟
Me: That's why you call me immature, 😒 go and find a mature boyfriend and leave me alone
Babe: Please don't tell me to leave you alone😭😭, I'm sorry, please forgive me🙁
Me: Alright I have heard, but you hurt me with those messages😐😐
Babe: I'm sorry, I hope we are ok😊
Me: Yes we are... I love you
Babe: I love you too, also don't take pictures with girls again and send them to me don't take pictures with girls and keep on your phone😑😐😒
Me: ...... 😬😬😥
So we settle things and move on, and that was our last fight. She can be so stubborn sometimes and always on her heels when I'm with other girls, and this is one part of her I love, I always feel protected when she's around, right now I'm missing her, I hope to see her soon since I'm done with my exams😀😀😀
Thanks for taking your time to read, I don't even know what to say after this.
