Is it corruption; The struggle continues
Just after I thought the struggle for the jamb regularization is done, it was like fate was against me doing my jamb regularization in Ilorin city. You might be lost about what I'm trying to talk about but you can catch up on my previous article.
Since I had already written my name and number, all my thought was that it would be my turn today to have some good luck on my side, I got up from the bed and went straight to the Jamb office, I got there at exact 7:32 am, so I was still a bit early, to my surprise people aren't much at the gate, so I was anticipating it would get to me but to m surprise, I was told they won't answer anyone from my school.
I decided to wait for the director that has been attending to us, it took some time for the director to come around and with that, the number of people had already increased more than the one I met when I arrived at first, I already made up my mind that nothing is gonna make me go home today without getting my regularization done.
The director came around and inform us that, some people that entered yesterday haven't done theirs, so they are going to attend to them first and if they can finish with them, a new set of people will come in. What!! So I won't be called in that morning, at that point, I started having stomach pain, damn not now. Why is this pain coming now, I tried to endure it but it turned out to be poop, I was sweating already and I couldn't hold it anymore, I took the next transport bus to my bus stop and rush home. I did my business successfully and it was then I thought to myself.
This same regularization, some people came after me and still get theirs done, some people were picked up at the gate, some people just placed a call and they are already inside, while some just paid the extra money and they are inside the hall smiling, isn't this corruption. I don't want to get involved, I do have a man that asked me to bring my details so he can submit it to someone in the jamb office but I decided to get it done myself, but with this stress I have felt for the past few weeks, I think I would just have to use the short cut and not line up or wait for them to call my number.
When it favors you, it's called connection, but when it doesn't, it is called corruption
Well, I don't care anymore.
So I decided not to go back to the Jamb office again but instead, I would submit my details to the man even if I have to pay some little amount of money. I made up my mind to visit him tomorrow.
Just this night as I was eating, I got a call from a friend of mine in my class, she was like
Hey fash, where did you go when your name was being called, your name was called several time
In my thought: I already gave up on the hard way, and I would use my influence to get things done, as I was about to tell her I gave up, she said
When your name was called, I answered for you and told the man that you're my Rep, and other of our course mate to confirm, I told him you went to school, that the HOD called you so you had to go, I have collected your batch number, you just have to come tomorrow and do yours.
I was surprised, is this a sign, will she be my wife in the future. I better stop those nonsense imaginations, I was very happy and I thanked her so much. My number is with her and she promise to bring it for me tomorrow. I hope if I go this time around, there won't be any disappointment again. Lastly, I got drugs to help me with my purging so I won't have to leave the Jamb center tomorrow again. Thanks for reading...

Aluta continua, Victoria Acerta
**Aluta continua, Victoria Acerta!!!**
This is the cry of most students of tertiary institutions, the word ***Aluta continua, Victoria Acerta means Struggle continues, but victory is certain,*** that's the motto that drives students to do their best in any endeavor or pursuit they might be going after during their stay on campus.
I never for once thought I would use this motto, because most of the time, I had things already figured out for me, and also when it was things that are meant to be done inside the campus, I was always given special treatment. Now that we are all graduates and everyone has to do things on their own now. Reality hit me hard when I had to go outside the school to get my Jamb regularization done.
The first day I went to the jamb office, I left my home around 7:02 am, thinking I was early as the Morning dew, but due to the time I got there, there were many crowds I couldn't fathom, how could people be so much by this time, I tried to get number so I could get attended to that day, but I was told about four hundred people already wrote down their names. What!😐😐 400people. I decided to wait for one of the directors to tell us what to do.
He said those that haven't written their names should come back the following week Monday, so I decided to be obedient cause they say
Obedience is better than sacrifice
It was the following week Monday, I went there again at 6 am but to my ultimate surprise, I met another crowd, are these people homeless, or did they actually sleep at the office gate, I wanted to take my number but I was told the number has been concluded for the day already, concluWHAT!, that's not possible, I was told another list and number was collected after I left last week, so I decided to wait till another number would be shared. I waited till 2 pm, and nothing was happening neither were we asked to write a new list. So I decided to go home, immediately after I got home, I called a friend that waited behind and she told me, they were allowed to write a new list😦😭😭
What the hell!!
New list again after I was home, this can't be, is my bad luck that strong. I went the following day and nothing happened, I was told the new list is only collected on Monday, so I began to prepare for the next coming Monday, I trust if it had been inside the school, I would have been given special treatment as an Honorable.
So this new week Monday, I went as early as 5 am, and to my surprise, I was given number 89, I was glad because I got a number now, when the director arrived, he canceled the list and gave us another to write and this time around, I was at number 106, I know, bad luck. Anyways, my number wasn't called on Monday and Tuesday, I was asked to come back on Wednesday, so I went to a distance and took a picture of everyone at the gate
As you can see
Many people had also already given up and were sitting on the grass, while some still hang on the gate with a little light of hope if they might be allowed to enter, I went home after that, I will be back tomorrow with what actually happened, though, today, the number was called till number 86, and I'm number 106, so there is hope for me tomorrow, I hope so, I wouldn't want to go again and something else happen, please you all should pray for good luck for me😭😭😭, the struggle is much. As I was about to leave today, I said those words, **Aluta continua, Victoria Acerta.**

A family worth dying for, BCH news, Readcash News.
Everyone wants to belong to a family and those who grew up in a broken home, in orphanage, or on the street are always wishing to have a family they can belong to, the one that would recognize them as one of them, a family they can feel safe and the trust can never be broken.
Read.cash NeWS
Hello readers of read.cash, it been a while, though I'm always online and I'm here on readcash but I hardly see my friends and people we started this journey together, it breaks my heart because many gave up due to the fact that @TheRandomRewarder stop visiting their post, well it isn't the rewarder fault, it was the fall of market price that made things so, If not for my love of writing, probably I too would have taken a break.
Good NeWS: BCH NeWS
Put your hands together, since two days ago, the price of BCH has been showing some sign of improvement, it went from $102 per BCH and currently as I type, it was at $113, let's hope that the growth continues, though I'm on the bad side, why did I say so, I sold all my BCH because I was having a financial crisis, I sold at $103 per BCH, and when I the price, it was a good thing but yet a heartbreaker for me. Well, there is nothing God can not do, so I would admonished you to tell your friends to get their A$$ back here and do the needful.
A family worth dying for
I have had this topic in my journal for a while now, I had no idea on how the body of the write up to be, probably a fictional story, or something that has happened, different ideas where just coming to my mind by finally, after the election that happened today in my country, the election was between Mr Adeleke and Mr Oyetola for the governors office of Osun state.
Mr Adeleke has a nephew, a popularly know man named Davido, he is a musician and his stage name is Davido, Davido is one of the biggest promoter and campaigner for his uncle, he used all his influence, money and fame to help his uncle campaign for the election, luckily for him, the uncle (Mr Adeleke) won the election.
There are some family that are worth dying for, no matter how they offend you, you can never hold it against them for too long, well, some family are more complicated, they would never be together or smile, they are always fighting but once an outsider trespasses on any of them, the whole family will be ready to fight that individual, that's why this popular saying goes like this.
**Blood is thicker than water**
If you have watch the series "The Original" you would understand more about what I'm saying, I once wrote article about it.. You can check it out.
Is my family worth dying for?
Anyone with a great family will always be ready to die for that family, luckily for me, I came from a very great family, a family that have a combine reputation, if you insult my sister, you insult us all, if you harm my brother, you harm us all, so people really respect my family and we also respect everyone family. My family love is like that of The Originals, just remove the drama of the real Originals family😂😁.
Do you have a family worth dying for?
Ask yourself that question ?
Happy Sunday to you all, and also Happy Monday to some other side of the world, I hope you all are doing great. Thanks for all the love you have shown me so far. I love you all, and my family on readcash are worth dying for😏😏.
Let's meet again. Kisses.
Fall of a Hero
A hero isn't always someone in cape and customized suit, everyone has their hero, and the story you're about to read, I hope it doesn't put tears in your eyes. Let's go.
It was a rainy evening when my mom began to labour, she was in pain of child birth, our house was deep in the local region as my father couldn't afford a house in the city but he made sure all his children's were born in a good hospital located in the city. I was only 13 years old and my little brother was 10year old, the more my mom wallowed in pain, the more I became scared, where could my father be by this time, even if he works in the city, he should be home by now, my brother began to cry as he tried to assist my mom up, I was just there, standing and looking at what was going on, fear couldn't make me move, my brother was calling out for me but his voice was coming from a far distance even when he was very close to me.
Immediately, I came back to my senses and ran outside for help, though we don't have any neighbor since the place our house was located was still very underdeveloped, I was running under the rain as tears keep pouring out of my eyes, after few meters away from my house, I saw my dad from afar, I increased my speed, when he saw me, he began to run towards me and he asked me what was wrong, I told him all in details, he immediately carried me in his hands and ran back home.
When we got home, he dropped everything he carried, he saw my mom in great pain, he carried her and put her in a comfortable position and ran back out, I was still not understanding what was going on, where has he gone to at this critical time, as I began to cry louder, my mom tried to console me but she was in pain too. After some few minute, my dad returned with a bike man, he was breathing so heavily with all his cloth wet, he carried my pregnant mom and put her on the bike he then sat behind her and instruct me to lock the door behind after he left, I did as instructed and was just there with my brother thinking of what to do next. After about an hour, I heard a knock on the door and the voice was my dad, he carried I and my brother and put us on the bike, I could see frustration in the eyes of the bike man, but anytime I and my dad eyes met, he would always smile and this gave me some confidence. We headed to the hospital my mom was, the rain had gotten more heavier but we made it to the hospital, my mom was still in the labour room, the doctor refuse to do anything unless there was a deposits of half the bill, that was why he rushed home to get us and his bank card, he rushed to the cashier and made all necessary payment.
I was just watching my dad ran from one counter to another, after a short moment, he came with our food and sat with us so we could eat, when we finish eating, he help dispose the disposable plate, while at it, a doctor ran towards where my dad was and said some other things were needed, I couldn't tell what but I saw fear in my dad eyes for the first time, he ran out of the hospital again, after a while he got back.
As time went on, I spelt off, by the time I woke up, it was another bright day in the city again, my dad sat beside us, he was stressed already and tired, he told us my mom had put to bed already, another baby girl, there was joy in my eyes and that of my brothers, my dad went out to get us food so we can eat before we go see our mom.
I went to wait for him at the entrance of the hospital, I saw him trying to cross the busy road, but too no avail, I got tired of standing and turned to go back inside the hospital, then I heard a big bang and crash, what must have happened, I turn to see where the sound must have come from, it was then I saw my dad on the floor, laying lifelessly with blood all over him, all the vehicle that refuse to stop before had stop. All I could do was watch my Hero Fall.
This story is a fictional story, not real, I would like to thank everyone that has been reading, and tipping me, also I would like to appeal with the @TheRandomRewarder to show me love, also @Bdellium for checking up on me. I love you. @Kacy01 I miss you bro.. One love to my sponsors, God bless you
I love you all
Anger In Relationship
People always say love is a sweet thing which I choose to believe, it is nice to experience love, love can make you forget all your pain, it can take you to another dimensional realm, people in love tend not to see the mistake of the one they are in love with but what happens when the one you love is the one causing you pain, **WHAT WILL YOU DO?**
It is normal for couples to have a difference that sometimes clashes with each other due to the different backgrounds and way they are brought up, this sometimes can make them misunderstand each other and fight but the ability to overcome this kind of challenge matters a lot.
Anger In Relationship
We, humans, are emotional creatures so there is no way we can avoid getting angry, but the ability to suppress one's anger in a relationship matters a lot. I see some ladies or guys say
That is the way I am, you have to love me like that.
Love you like what, yes, your partner may love you but if you aren't ready to change your bad character, it can lead to the end of such a relationship without remedy. Anger is one of the major factors that has ended many relationships and now a day, many young couples haven't learned how to suppress or control their anger yet they think of getting married.
It still surprises me how a person will get so angry and destroy things, break the remote, throw away some glass, shout and act in some strange way, and say some hurtful things that would hurt the other partner.
Many people don't know that, glass can be replaced, the remote can be repaired, material things can be bought again but words said, a word said, a word said can never be taken back, those hurtful things you have said, those insult you said, those secret you relieved due to angry can never be taken back, it has been registered in the heart of a person. As a human, for some individuals, it is easy to forgive and for some, it isn't, but for every human, it is never easy to forget, no matter how much you love the person, it is never easy to forget a hurtful word a person you love said.
Ways to control anger
I was a person that gets angry so easily before, little things that don't count can get me angry and I destroy a lot of things which is not in my bad record both with friends and family but I'm a better person and trying my best to be the best.
These are various way to control anger, I have used them and it has worked for me over the years.
**Count numbers:** This was the first mechanism I used when I started learning to control my anger, I count numbers, I will keep counting in my mind just to see the highest I can count too and with time, the anger will fade away and I will be able to think straight and give the right response to whatever made me angry
**Take a walk:** If the person that got me angry is with me at that moment and I don't want to cause a fight or say some hurtful things, I would just walk away, not because I don't know what to say or how to act but because of my sanity and that of the other person, I would just walk away, I do this mostly for people I don't rate at all.
**Keeping quiet:** For a person whom I love, I would just keep quiet, this is because I already know how to control my anger, if you don't know how to yet, you can take a walk, but this mechanism works too, I would just keep quiet and think of the good days we had together, cause I know after the anger, we would still have each other, either as friends or family.
**Read psychological Books:** I read a lot from my young age thanks to my big sis from France, she brought a lot of books when she visited us in Nigeria and she started working at a library, so I read a lot of books that also help me learn how to control my emotions
**Pray to God:** Some people might not believe in God, but if you're a believer, pray to him to help you with your anger issue, the supernatural controls the natural, your anger is human and human being and supernatural being, so with prayer I believe it things can getting better, you would also need to apply those above mechanisms too.
In conclusion
Before you think of going into someone's life and becoming the better half of that person, you need to work on yourself, mentally, physical, emotional, financially and what so ever way you feel you can better yourself, well the truth is your partner is also there to help you become a better person, a partner that isn't ready to help you become a better version of yourself, or always complaining about you or reporting you to people, it better you stay away from such person because you have nothing to learn from such person.
Thanks for reading.
Hello everyone, it's been a while since I put my pen to work, but I'm back fully, I have a lot to share with you, let's meet again in your article. Thanks to my sponsors, tippers, up voters, commenters, and everyone that took their time to read. Have a great day.
No Long Cap: I'm back
"**No Long Cap**"
This statement carries a lot of meaning to it in my country, it can mean, "No lies" or "Little talk" or some other meaning, depending on how you use it in the conversation. Anyways in this conversation, we are about to have, it means "No lies"
I'm sure, some people would have noticed they haven't seen my article in a long time, it is not like I wish to go for that long but it was a necessary **Evil**, if I hadn't taken that long break, I sure would have had a mental breakdown again. There have been so many activities that I had to take care of which I would share some of them with you.
Examination
My examination took 3 weeks before I could complete them all, there was some days interval between some of the examination so we can get ourselves together and prepare well for it, it was my final examination in the polytechnic so I take my time to study well, that's why I was on and off during the exam time but at a point, I had to go off completely.
During the examination, a lot of things happened, My school girlfriend got herself a new boyfriend but I didn't let it affect me.
P.S: They weren't dating or was any official statement from either of them to call it a date, so it hurt a little but he moved on so fast, but after the exam was over, it hurts, it hurrrtttss
On our last written examination, a boy was caught with a sheet of paper that carries the answer to the examination we were doing which is **equal** to malpractice which is also equal to rustication.
Sign out day
Forget the ladies you're seeing, I would have uploaded the one I took alone but I wanted you all to see that we are all putting on white cloth and every other student would use a permanent marker to write their name or sign on your cloth to make a memory, this explanation is for those in another country that doesn't do this practice in their country
**P.S: He has only one picture he took alone, the rest are with girls, he likes taking pictures with girls or probably girls like taking pictures with him, any of it.**
Oh, let me upload one of the pictures I took alone, some people already saw the picture on WhatsApp
So this is also one of the reasons I have been off.
Different Finalist Activities
So I was invited to different departmental dinner parties because I'm an honorable, due to the position I hold in school, I'm more like a **Star boy,** although I had to skip some because the invitation was too much
**P.S: He skip them because he didn't want to spend all his money before his departmental dinner party.**
I was invited to a finalist program that was held inside the school, when it was time for me to be introduced to the audience, the Master of ceremony (M.C) did a poor job, he just said two to three things and then called my name, I just stood up and wave to the audience, it was time for awards, surprisedly I was also to be given an award, the M.C did the same poor job and I didn't stand up, how can he introduced the representative of the largest department like that, so another anchor from my department, my class, collected the mic and started hailing me, calling me sweet names.
"The next person to receive an award is no other person than the rep of the largest department on campus, the man that fought for the will of the student, he is smart, he has received many awards before... And it went on like that"
I stood up with pride and went for my award without knowing there was a catch to it, few minutes after the award, the lunching of book started and people are to donate money, they would call your name and you would come out to say the amount you want to donate for the book lunching, an ordinary student coming out were calling huge amount of money, while other Bigger students with a relevant post called higher, I have been hiding my face from the anchor of the program but he later got me and called my name, I walked humbly to the stage and called the amount into the anchor ears, the anchor still went ahead to inform the audience of the donation, there was an uproar at that moment, well I won't tell you the amount but it was enough to cause noise from the audience cause it was mostly occupied by my course mates.
Anyways, those are some of the things that have kept me away from Readcash but I'm finally back, I've missed writing the next episode of my drama, but I won't miss this Saturday. Expect it soon. See me soon again in your comment section or me tipping you
**This user is mostly grateful to all his sponsors for their support, I will invite you all to my birthday, it getting near, and you can join the train to get your invite.**

Pen's Down: Finalist
For a while now I haven't been active on readcash, if you check my activities or my page, you would see the gaps in writing which isn't something I'm known for.
I have read about the life of a finalist from @Princessbusayo articles, while she was still in school, how everything went for her, now it is my turn to experience that kind of life.
Pen's Down
Pen's down is a normal tradition that is celebrated all over Nigerian institutions, it is celebrated on the day of your final written exam which mine happens to be yesterday. Before the last written examination, many people who have been friends from their first year would come together to make a customized cloth that only their crew would wear, this would make the entire school so colorful just like that of the traditional day.
Though my department had a unique made customized cloth but most students started debating on the color, size, and kind of material to be used, and this caused a lot of dispute on the class WhatsApp platform, the intended color we wanted to use was white and green, but most people detest the cloth, some voted for white and black, others white and wine, someone even said cockroach brown, sometimes I wonder where they got the color from as I read through the messages, while some people decided not to make any comment since they already have their plan and the kind of costume they want to put on, nevertheless everyone wanted to put on something unique on the Pen's down day.
After so much argument and violence on the WhatsApp group, it was decided that the department wear would be black and white, many insults came in, but we took it the way it is because you can't please everyone.
A man who decided to neither be cold nor hot, who chose to always be in the middle, will be the cause of his own demise
Though I love the way people voiced out that there are just so many bad people in the group that cannot think things through, and some are always ready to judge and send out curses like it was free data they use for it, well no one can be blamed, everyone has a reason why they reacted like that.
The class representatives have received all kinds of insult and praise for the customized cloth, which many of them call it hoodies, the president of the department had the intention to move the Pen's down costume day to the signout day but the Brave class representative stood with the majority of the class as their opinion matter, we told the president NO! that the hoodie must be worn on the final paper day.
God so Good, the main day arrived and there were so many people with different kinds of beautiful wears, I can't believe I forgot to take a personal picture, let me share with you some of the amazing people that are my course mate
@DeolaD and friends
And many more, the picture are so much, ok, here is I and @DeolaD
Yeah, I look handsome and slim😔😔😭, but with time, things will get better.
The journey of a thousand mile only begins with a step, we are all taking step day by day, either intentional or not, we are moving forward.
There is still one more step to take which is the final examination that would be done on the computer, the CBT examination, and on that day, we would be signing out of the school finally. I sure will write about it and share it with you all. God bless public administration, God bless Kwara state polytechnic, God bless my country.
How can I make my $0.80 into $5 in 7hours, cause I really need that money and nothing seems to work currently, not even rusty shows up like it use to, I guess it because of the price, saw it at $99 this morning, I really need that $5😭😭😭 what's going on
What A Combination: Hard Choice To Make
Before I start writing, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone, for what? Well no particular reason, probably thank you for being alive, and also on readcash, also I would like to thank @Talecharm for the surprise this morning, the renewal of the sponsorship, I'm grateful, also to everyone in each community that has taken their time to read my articles, though due to examinations, I haven't been able to interact like I use to, but with time it will change.
Today's article, I'm sure many of you have read it from another user page, I saw it on @Olasquare page so I decided to give it a go too. Everyone has their choice to make which might be different from others, I hope you enjoy the read.
INTERNET V TV
I doubt if anyone would chose TV over the Internet because why? Everything you want to watch on the TV is on the internet, which brings me to another question, what are we to use to access the internet, our phones? Laptop? Or TV? Cause virtually everything in the world now uses internet, I once saw a tweet on Twitter that says tweeted from a fridge and another from a printing machine, but left to me, I would chose the internet, guess I will open my readcash via my cooker.
MUSIC V MOVIE
This is simple for me, I would go with a movie every time, now let me give you some movies that have interesting music in it, Frozen 1&2, pitch-perfect, I think it is up to 3 parts, Troll Tour, most of the Disney movies, descendants, and many more, you get to watch it like a music video with a plot, it always so interesting to watch, so its movie for me.
SHOE V SOAP
Shoe or Soap, when I saw this combination, I made a comment on Olasquare article saying he should cut soap for me, it is a figurative speech that only a few chosen elite will understand, especially people from the Nigeria forum. Anyways since I have plenty of soap, I would go for shoes, I have always liked designers like Nike, Freak, Puma, and a few too. So it's the shoe, then I will display it the way #Kelly did in her videos.
SUNSCREEN V SUNGLASSES
Someone should help meeee😭😭😭 what is sunscreen, is it a cream, or a screen for the sun, but I know what sunglass are, so it sunglass for me.
SUGAR V GLUTEN
I was told gluten isn't too good for the health, though my intake of sugar is proportional to the exercise I do so I can burn the sugar out of my system, I watch how I take sugar, if left to me, I would go with honey, but for my cocoa, its sugar.
COFFEE V ALCOHOLIC DRINK
Who would like to be served an alcoholic drink in the morning as they wake up from bed, OK, let's forget about waking up from bed, alcohol is bitter, it soars, it burns the throat, so how do people still enjoy this kind of drink, how ???, even if you add sugar to it, it won't change the taste. It is coffee for me, I like coffee so much I add it to my choco tea or green tea, I don't know if it's the wrong combination but I like it that way.
CAR V PHONE
I really don't know, I have a phone currently, even if it is not the one I wish for, but I would go for a car, some people classify a car to be a liability but it depends on your use for it, if I turn my car to an uber, I will get my phone and still enjoy my life.
THE BEACH V SNOW
My city is cold enough I wouldn't want to add snow to it, it would look like I'm inviting the night walkers into my city instead, why don't we all go on a hot summer vacation at a relaxing beach, uhn, a great idea right, it would be fun. If you choose snow, I will suspect you're from the North or related to Jon snow.
TOILET PAPER V TOOTHBRUSH
😐😐 Toilet paper and Toothbrush, now tell me, who made this list, I have some discussion with the person, toilet paper and toothbrush? Big difference, anyways, if I can have one in my bathroom, it would be a toothbrush, I can always use water to do the necessary, but I can't use toothbrush for it.
FRUITS V VEGETABLES
I heard some fruits are considered vegetables, like tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, and some others I know, please just make them into salad for me with some cream, that's all I want and request for, thank you.
**Thanks for reading, till we meet again, Either in my article or yours, have a nice day.**
Hello eveeyone, its 11pm here, I haven't had the opportunity to come online for a while now or write like I use to, reason is because I'm occupied with exams and other final year obligations, I hope everyone are doing good, I couldn't write yesterday, and I tried doing today, the ideas are there but I'm with a stressed brain right now, so I think I will do that in the morning when I wake up.. I hope you all have a wonderful night.. Sweet dreams
We all gonna die some day
Several people are scared of hearing or talking about the bitter scary truth that we are all gonna die someday.
An incident happened recently in my class, a lady we did the SUG week together and it was just a week to start our final examination since the beginning of the academic session kicked the bucket. What was wrong with her? Nothing, was she sick? No, had an accident? No!.
This made me wonder, is this how people actually die, she was already at the point of her completing her education and making her parent happy, but it seems God said her time was up, she slept and never woke up again. Good Night Dear Friday.
This got me thinking as I listen to a song from **NF titled Oh Lord,** its a song you would like to listen to, it will help you change the way you see things and live yourself, as I was saying, this got me thinking, what if she had fought with a neighbor or friend that had made an empty threat to her just to make her scared, what would the person do or say when they find out she's dead, that's why I do tell my friends and course mate to be careful of what they say.
A guy once threaten my sister saying " you this small girl, you don't know who you're talking to, I will do you wicked thing, you won't live to see the next day" and many other hate worlds like that just because she hissed at his message on Facebook, they aren't friends, but the guy is a boyfriend to one of her friends, she sent all the voice note to me cause it got her scared. I was really pissed off, who is the guy, by the time I fish him out, he wasn't even up to 20 years old, just entered his 18th year.
NF said in his song
When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag
I don't care where they go
Don't waste your money on my gravestone
I'm more concerned about my soul
Everybody's gon' die
Don't everybody live though
Sometimes I look up to the sky
And wonder do You see us down here?
Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Now, I'm not concerned about anyone's religion, we all have a God we pray to and we believe in, but most people have forgotten their God, they don't pray or do any thanks offering to him, but they remember God when they have a little challenge, they are quick to vent their anger on him when things aren't going their way, they blame him when things are bad but when things are going well again, they forget him. Think about it, the life you're living now does it worth God keeping you alive or taking you away cause you aren't adding to the existence of humanity. It is easy to blame God but harder to fix things ourselves.
Many people are existing but not living their life, if you die today, is there anyone that would remember you? Surely, people will remember you, but for what? What will people say after you're gone,
He left without paying my money
She was quite the talkative
He was always looking for trouble
She poke her nose and gossiped a lot and many other hurtful things that the spirit would be sad to go to the afterlife or
He was a good man, she gave us food when we don't have any, he once helped me feed my dogs, she sang for my kids every time we visited her, she was a cheerful giver, he is always smiling and greeting everyone
My dear, little good deeds count, don't go around making trouble thinking people would forget about it because it was done a long time ago, or because you are young, the young ones are the ones that die easily nowadays, I wonder why this is so, why are the young ones dying so early, I was so concerned I asked a friend and the reply he gave was a shocking one, he said
"Why won't the young ones die early, the youth or the ones claiming youth are the ones they find in all forms of atrocities, drinking, drugs, sins, sex for money (hookup), crime, taking things that would damage the system saying we are getting high, well, I won't be surprised again if another young man or lady dies again"
Now, it brings me to this question, what is the essence of coming to this world and living a meaningless life and in the end dying without achieving anything or impacting a life positively, everyone just wanna live largely but forgets the true meaning of life or why we are alive, you are gonna die someday and nothing will be able to save you, not your money, your good food or cars, not your friends or family, nothing will save you but the legacy and memories you have created will be what is left of you, we came to the word with nothing, but when we leave, we leave with memories.
Thanks for taking your time to read this article, I hope you're able to learn one or two things from it, don't forget to give me a thumbs up if you find it interesting, if you're new, you know what to do to keep seeing an interesting article like this from me.
Thanks to these special people
See you next time!!
Readcash Academy: A story
**Author Message:** *Normally, this article/Drama should have been out since yesterday, but due to some circumstances, it was postponed till this new moment, I'm sorry it coming late, today's series on* ***Welcome to Readcash Academy*** *won't be a drama but more of a story that shows more insight on the fictional characters I have decided to use. I hope you enjoy it.*
Chapter 1
@Princessbusayo had had it pretty hard from her childhood before they relocated to another town in the same city, he lives with her dad and mom, though things haven't been going well in her home as she sees on the television, her mom wants to work at the academy, but her dad refused, she reminisces about the night it all started
(Arguing in a loud voice as princess tries to cover her ears with her hands)
**Dad**: What's your problem again, I already provide everything you need, working is out of it, I don't need you working, besides I can get a shop for you so you can be a trader
**Mom**: how can you say that to a Bachelor's certificate holder in the field of education, do you think I go through all those educational semesters and years to be a full housewife
**Dad**: I'm not saying you shouldn't work, but you can't teach in my school, please understand this, it's a school with high standards and...
(***She cut him short***)
**Mom**: You mean I'm not up to the standard of your school, is that what you're saying, if I knew you wouldn't let me work, I wouldn't have married you...
(***The argument continued until princess fell asleep***)
After some years, they parted away and signed a divorce, it wasn't meant to end this way she thought to herself, mom left me and daddy, it was my fault. She had been blaming herself all this while which made her stop talking to people, it was hard on her as she has no one she could talk to, months after the divorce, she and her dad changed their location to another town leaving all their belonging in their home, then rented an apartment in an estate.
On that faithful day, on her way to school, she was waiting for her dad in his car, that was when she saw a boy whose uniform was the same as hers, she was surprised, you mean a person attending the same school as I do lives in this compound, she dropped down from the car to confirm again, as she stood there looking, @Olasquare turned his back and saw her, he immediately recognized her.
**Olasquare**: (In his thought) oh, I know this girl, isn't this princessbusayo, the daughter of the mighty director, what is she doing in this compound and estate, I should go say hi.
As he walked towards her, she shouted her name, walk closer to her, grabbed her hand and shake it, as he was about to introduce himself, she pulled her hands away, said Hello and was about to turn towards where the car was, as she turned her legs tangled and she was about to fall but **Olasquare** immediately caught her him his hands and they were halfway to the floor standing face to face, he pulled her up and she got her balance again, her face turned red and she ran back into the car.
She couldn't even say thank you, **olasquare** said to himself as he stepped out of the compound, that was when the director came out without realizing what just happened.
Meanwhile
@Kacy01 has been having issues picking a choice of career as it was demanding of all the students, since he loves music and would like to become something great in life, he didn't know the choice of career to go for, so he picked up his phone and called his friend @Jumper-01 for advice.
**Kacy01**: What's up bro, wanna ask if you already chose the choice of career you want
**Jumper01**: Yes man, I already did that days ago
**Kacy01**: I'm finding it difficult, can you help me on this one, please
**Jumper01**: Oh, slow down bro, am I the student councilor or guardian, I also didn't know what to choose not until I helped the councilor.
**Kacy01**: Which of them please, I need it tomorrow.
**Jumper01**: we have just one counselor, Mr @sanctuary.the-one-lawu or you can meet any of the older teachers to help you out like Mr @kasumi or @Marserr they should be able to help you out.
**Kacy01**: Thank man, I really appreciate this.
**Jumper01**: you're welcome, just bring the chips I asked for
(***And the call ended***)

Saturday rant
I guess this would be the first time for me ranting on readcash, well there's a lot to learn from what I want to say because I can't pick a topic for Tonight's discussion.
Life can be pretty hard when you stay with people that don't consider other people that stay with them but only themselves. Today has been going weird since I opened my eyes to this new day.
I don't stay alone, and the people I stay with are good people but recently, living with them has been hard, very hard, I understand the country is hard and recession is at its peak but when everyone starts thinking of themselves alone, things won't go well.
Like a week ago, the gas finished and I dropped money to get another one, the soup finished, I got us another one, three days ago, 3days ago, there was nothing to prepare because no one wants to drop money and we are trying to minimize the usage of the gas, now tell me, isn't it better we all cook together so the gas can last, but no, the most elder will cook separately while the remaining two will cook together, I'm not saying I'm the only one providing in the house, we are all buying the food.
3 days ago, I bought spaghetti and the ingredients and we eat, 2 days ago, the same thing, today I brought up the idea of cooking white rice since we just prepared soup last night, and the feedback I got was heartbreaking.
"Why should you cook rice, can't you buy spaghetti that would be ready in an instant than cooking rice, also we are trying to minimize the usage of gas, even if you would cook rice, prepare it as mixed, if you finish the soup now, what are you going to eat"
I just gave up and went back inside my room, I think I have tried enough, it's not my place, so I understand the limit I can go, it was past 10 am already and I was just on the bed sleeping, I heard a knock on my door, it was the other person asking me if I'm ready to eat. Oh, ready to eat what, they already prepared white rice after the first person had already prepared her food.
I was like, so the gas hasn't finished, or the soup you put on my food has reduced the soup completely, just to avoid a further argument, I ate my food and went back to the room to sleep, got up at 2 pm, went to rehearsal, did the usual, got home to the story that gas has finally finished, I was asked what next, I said everyone should get what they would eat, in a blink of an eye, I saw food from the eatery, the amount would get us 1kg of gas. This is nice, everyone's hiding their money right!! Cool, after they finished eating, they keep questioning me what I would eat for the night, I was like, I would get something to eat. The question of what would you eat kept echoing in my ear as she repeated it, saying "I don't like eating and seeing another person who hasn't eaten" I said I would take **garri** for the night, and I was asked, "with what?" I said Sugar. Just let me be was what was echoing in my mind.
Let me just stop here, can't wait to move out soon, I have just less than a month left for me to stay.
Today's article
I never intended to rant today about what has been happening recently, what I intended to write today was on the inside life of some characters of Readcash Academy, though it would be fictional, but very interesting, I had all the ideas and details I wanted to use but the has been bad for me, I guess I will just move the write up to Sunday.
I'm sorry to bring this up tonight or boring you with my sad story, anyways, thanks for stopping by as usual to read. I hope you all have a beautiful night.
Unlimited cash lottery won: How would I spend it!
I'm sure many people will think they have a plan of how they want to spend their money before they get the money, we can even say, the most broke person has the best plan on how to spend money but when that money comes, especially when it comes in a very huge amount, we would forget all the plan we made on how to the money, though, our budget and things we want to get would be somewhere but we would want to please ourselves first before thinking of things straight, those things we wish to get since we are little, we would want to get it and try those things we never had the chance to do, that's how it feels when you have an unlimited amount of money in your account won from the lottery.
Though I didn't win any money, I got the idea of this article from @Theblackdoll
In her article, **If I Win The LOTTERY** where she explained how she would spend her money, she made a lot of good choices and I'm proud of her, if you follow her article you would know she isn't feeling too well that's why she hasn't been online, speedy recovery Big sis❤💪 https://read.cash/@Theblackdoll/if-i-win-the-lottery-a59aa6a8
If I win the unlimited cash lottery
Currently, I'm a broke boy so I have the best possible plan already at hand, the name of the company, the kind of service to be rendered, I'm very sure with the right amount of money invested in this business of mine, I can never be poor again, but while reading **Theblackdoll** article, I thought deep within myself, what would I do with that kind of amount.
Firstly, forget all the plan of creating a business that would make me rich for life, the first thing I would do is to get a new phone, yes, I'm buying myself a new phone, I don't have a good phone that would do the things I want from it, because of the phone I can't assess my wallet via the bitcoin.com wallet app so I have to check bitcoincash price via the web, so the first thing is to get a new phone.
After that, I would buy a house, it very hard living in a rented apartment in my country, the rent fee itself can start up the building of a person's house if he has land, so I would buy a house, buying a house will take time and resources, getting a ready-made would be much easier, furnish it with the best furniture.
While at it, I'm on a vacation to San Fransisco and I'm jamming a piece of good music in my ear, but before that, I'm getting an international passport for my parent and siblings, making sure that anytime there is a reason to leave the country, we would live, but currently, there are dozens of reasons to leave now.
I would give my Dad 50% of the money won, you are surprised, I have known my dad since I was little to be a diligent man, before the age of 30, he already had a family and a house, he took care of use and provide for our needs, started a poultry and was successful, own different 8 shops and they are on rent, also a mini flat which he also rented out, he is an amazing man, I would tell him my plan and provide him the best team that would work with him on it.
I'm a Red Cross member, and I've always loved to give back to the society, I would fund some orphanages and pay some people's hospital bills, I also know of some girls and boys that are getting wasted all because their parents don't have the fund to send them to school or don't give a crap about them, I would be a sponsor to them.
If there is any other reason for me to spend, I would, but at this point, I would try to be prudent in my spending.
What I wrote might not interest you or might be against your principle or how you would have spent the money, well it's easy, you can write about how you would have spent your lottery if you win.
Thanks to these amazing people, @Talecharm happy birthday to you, I can see you're still on my sponsors' block, there is only one explanation for it, you renewed the sponsorship, though I didn't a notification about it, I want to say a big thank you, and happy birthday once again.
***Thanks for reading and always stopping by anytime you see my article, Till we meet again, probably in your article.***
How important nick or username are!!
Growing up is all fun and cool cause we get the chance to pick some name our friends would call us, I'm sure everyone has a special name or nickname that people know them for, some people's nicknames are so common people don't know their real name, in the life, everyone would like to make a name for themselves, a unique name that when mention, they would know who exactly they are referring to.
**Image source** https://unsplash.com/photos/lFNucqUzPC4
The pain of picking a wrong nickname at the early stage before realizing it wasn't a name that befits you, in the long run, can be detrimental. I would share a short true life story that might explain it better.
A story
*While I was still very young, I was in high school, a very gentle boy who doesn't like trouble or getting into one, all I just wanted to do was learn and go back home, eat, sleep, watch movies and enjoy my life as a kid.*
*In the class I was in, there was a girl that bears the same name I have, and it was the name that had been known or people call us both in our different local (Tioluwa) any time a teacher calls me, we would both answer and same goes for her, and that mark the first nickname I would ever have* ***TBOYGENTLE*** *and the girl was known as* ***TGIRL****. Now the issue is, I really love the nickname, all the social media I opened then, it was the nickname I used then, since our name both starts from the Letter "T" I'm a boy and she's a girl, so it went well. I enjoyed people calling me that, the name spread outside the school, and people in the call me that Nickname too.*
*Currently, I'm not a boy anymore, I'm a young man, I don't like the name like I used to, though anytime I'm asked about my nickname, the name does cross my mind but not often, and I can never think of using it ever again. Some of my oldest friends still do call me that, and I answer them out of respect, not often, only when they want to get on my nerves*
Another time I picked a wrong username
*Though at this time, I had the perfect nickname that would have been the best username on all social platforms, this was dated back before I joined readcash, a friend* @Kristofferquincy *introduced me to noisecash, back then I was watching an anime series titled* ***#BLACKCLOVER*** *and I was so much in love with one of the characters I decided to use his name for my noisecash account, the name of the character is* ***Asta****, after months of using the account with I enjoyed, it was when I joined Readcash I knew I had made a big mistake in choosing that username, I'm glad I'm making a name for myself on this platform, but anytime I want to refer to my noisecash account, the name doesn't match my Readcash name, I have seen many people on readcash also on noisecash without introducing themselves, the name alone makes me know who they are since I already met them here on readcash, people like* @FarmGirl *and many more from #Club1BCH. My name is FashTioluwa which is gotten from my surname and my first name Fashanu Tioluwanimi.*
*In conclusion*
I can use FashTioluwa on any platform, and I love the name even when people call me. Name is very important to people, so people you go around picking a nickname or username, think very well, it might be from that platform your fame will come. Have a great day.
*****Till we meet again, either in your article or mine.*****
4 quest completed, 2 more to go
It has been close to a week since I was last active on readcash and more than a week since I was fully active, I guess a lot of people have been busy with some issues in real life, I read @Tomi-Ajax article on how things have been busy for him too lately which made him less active on this platform, also I know of a friend that joined recently after she was introduced to BCH and started earning on readcash via writing, Rusty had been nice and it had visited some of her articles, but she has been off since then, what really happened, her Dad was arrested and has been in the cell for theft in the company he works, he calm to be innocent of the crime, a poor man with no lawyer, how will he fight the case against a company and he would be trial in court soon, like that wasn't enough to keep her away, her mom fainted yesterday, she had to leave the school, she traveled back home to spend some time with her family.
Well, the article isn't about her, now, what really has kept me away from Readcash or other social media platforms, I'm in my final year in school and this has been really busy lately, apart from the fact that I have to write my project and get things done, I hold the position of the class representative.
I started my examination on Monday, and from Monday till Tuesday evening, I had written 4 examinations, hard ones.
There was no time to prepare well after an exam, the first paper was at 8 am, while I have another at 3 pm in the afternoon, Monday and Tuesday.
Like this wasn't enough to keep me away, the unit I head in church, one of the unit members was sick and was taken to the hospital, it was discovered that he had an appendix issue and was to be operated on, the operation took place last week Saturday and it was successful, now the hospital bill was 330,000 thousand naira in my country currency, in dollar that would be about $550, that's a huge amount in my country. Now, I have been receiving calls on how to raise funds, though the fundraising isn't on me alone but I'm carrying some of the burdens, I have to ask the unit member to contribute any amount just to help, I'm not even having much money with me because of all this final year program, I had to change my budget to help a brother. 💔😔
After Yesterday's examination, a lot of students were just calling me, telling me they are ready to submit their assignment, assignment that has been given to us over 3 weeks ago, I'm stressed, and I wanted to rest, so I directed them to meet with the lecturer, thinking I have escaped them, the lecturer directed them to me, he called and asked me to keep on collecting the assignment.
I had no choice but to do that since the instruction was coming from a senior lecturer, I sent out a broadcast message to the class asking those who want to submit their assignment to meet me in school by 10 am, Hello Readcash, this is 2.30 pm and some of them are still on their way to school. Yes, I felt like leaving, felt like telling them not to come, telling them it's over, but what kind of leader would I be then.
I'm stressed, tired, overburdened, I don't even know the right word to use, but I know I will be fine, also I would like to Congratulate @Theblackdoll for checking her wallet and seeing that surprising figure, it is all to her hard work. I do come online, read a few and run back to my textbooks, don't blame me for not staying too long, you should know why now.
Thanks for reading and your usual support, I'm not yet fully active, I'm done with 4 examinations out of 6, so with little time, I will be back fully.

Welcome to Readcash Academy (Bonus scene)
Before I start, if you haven't read the previous episode on Welcome to Readcash Academy, you might not catch up, you can take a quick read before this. Thank you.
A beautiful afternoon
After the incident in class A diamond between @Mofif and @Amazing-grace the two student parent presence where immediately requested by the director, And they came urgently.
**Director** @MarcDeMesel : Hello madam's, honestly I would have love it if the boys father's were around too but since you both are here, I would start. I invited you both today because both your sons were caught in an act that can tarnish the image of this elegant Academy, remember before you registered them into our academy, there were certain rules that have been laid down in which they promise to follow, now insult and cursing have been flying out of their mouth like water coming out of a tap
**Grace mom**: Is that true (asking so angrily)
**Grace**: it a lie, I didn't do anything, I was just on my own before I was called to the principal office, beside this boy here have been looking for my trouble all day
**Director Marc**: (looking surprised and shocked)
@JonicaBradley : This boy? This boy? Don't you know his name, my son name is **Mofif**
**Grace mom**: Madam, don't talk to my son that way, he only said what happened and .....
**Jonica**: Are you saying the director is a liar or the report was wrong.
**Grace mom**: (stood up and pointed at jonica) How dare you misquote me, is that what I have said, I can see why your son looks for trouble everytime
**Director Marc**: Madam's please let's calm.....
**Jonica**: I know my son, he would never do such, such a lovely child that is hard working, Oh my boy Mofif, what has this woman child done to my sweet boy.
**Director Marc**: (*Scream at the top of his voice) please be quite!! (Adjust is tone after cleaning his throat)* don't you know you're in a school, such noise is a pollution to this learning environment.
***Grace mom adjusted herself and sat back on her seat***.
**Director Marc:** The truth is that I find Grace faulty in this case, after going to their class and as king some question, there was no doubt that grace was at fault
**Jonica**: I knew it😊
**Director Marc:** Please madam 😒, so now I have made my decision, due to the act of violence and ill mannered words he used against **Mofif**, he would be a spammed student, though he can continue to learn in the same class as **Mofif** and get all knowledge required, but he won't get all benefit like **BCH** at the ending of the term awarding day, now its your choice if you want to remain in this academy or take your son to another schools.
**Grace mom**: How can you made such decision, after all his effort in this school, well I'm taking my son away, we have the Hive academy or the Blurt college, I can enroll him there, but there is no school that can provide all the things needed for learning like **Readcash** Academy.
*She grabbed* ***Grace*** *by his wrist and walked out of the director office.*
**Jonica**: I really feel bad for her and son💔💔, isn't there anything you can do sir.
**Director Marc:** I'm sorry ma, there is nothing I can do to it, it is the rules of the school before he joined, also I have no control over the rules, it has been established before I became the director.
**Jonica**: it's Alright.
*Jonica left the director office with her son and started advising him on what to do and what not to do.*
Meanwhile
@Tomi-Ajax returm back to his class because @Ellawrites didn't notice him while he was waving at her.
***Tomi** **entered the class and walked straight to his seat***
@Fexonice1 : piss, piss piss, Tomi!!
**Tomi**: Uhn!! What!
**Fexonice**: What's wrong, you look happy when you were leaving the class, didn't your urine go
**Tomi**: Just leave me alone **fexo**, its nothing😔😔
**Fexonice**: Anyways, don't go about telling the teacher you want to use the toilet then go out to check on your girlfriend
**Tomi**: *Shocked😬😬 (but decided not to look back at fexonice) in his thought*; this guy is always so scary, I wonder how he use to know everything, I should avoid him, but still, I wonder what Ella was discussing that she didn't notice me💔💔
In class A Gold
*Immediately the student saw their teacher* @Lucifer01 *returning back to the class, they all ran back to their seat. Lucifer walked into the class angrily because of the barbaric act of those boys fighting but was happy* @Lhes *spoke to him today, anytime he things about the encounter, he would just smile*
@Kacy01 : (***In his thought***) I wonder what's making Mr Lucifer happy today, I'm sure the person causing that trouble was Tomi, the teacher has always liked me, so I'm sure he is happy that my rival was sent to the director office.
To be continued.
This is another episode out, I hope you like it and you enjoyed reading it, there are still so much to be known, but with time, you will get to know more about the characters. Also I would like to thank @Mictorrani for the sponsorshio renewal.
This set of people mean a lot to me. Don't be scared to join the group.
*****Disclaimer: This article is in no way telling the real character of the individual used in this drama, as everything writing is fictional, this piece of work is to put a smile on everyone face on readcash, thanks for having me*****
Reading and sleeping
Before I dive into today's article, I would like to talk about few things.
Firstly the price of BCH, bitcoincash, day before Yesterday, I noticed the more I got tips from friends and loved ones, my total earning never increased from the value it is, I was wondering what could be the cause not until I checked the current price of BCH and I saw it had gone down from $138 that I saw it last, it was at $119, so I decided that, if my earning enter $10, I would convert it to my country centralized currency and either spend or save it, so I login in the evening again to me the value dropped further, I immediately checked BCH price again and saw it at $110, I was shocked, but to God's blessing, Rusty did wonder and it went back to $10, but while I was about to convert and sell to cash, a message from the immortal realm said I should save it, so I moved it out to another wallet, now I'm feeling good and bad for the decision I made, I still have enough cash to spend but I don't like my bank figure going below 5figures, anyways, that's all.
Immediately I came online tonight, I noticed something that has put many of us on the edge. Sponsorship payment. I'm glad to announce to you that sponsorship payment is back, the first sponsorship pay I saw was from @Ellawrites and I was very happy, after I read few article, i saw other older payment from @Honey_bch and one of the biggest prompt creator @JonicaBradley I was surprised to have gotten this many sponsored payment, I was getting worried that my sponsor block was getting empty already😫😫, but I believe we are back on track again, so if you're doubting about making sponsorship payment, you can go ahead and make those payment.
Reading and sleeping
Has it every occur to you that, there is a particular time when you want to read, no matter how hard you try, you would fall alseep.
This happened to me today, I'm a good reader, I love to read which made today so surprising for me. Normally when I get a book to read, no matter the book, I would read it for 2hours before I get tired of reading and I can read beyond that time, but recently, I've been finding it hard to read.
I woke up this morning with the intension of completing 4 chapter of my text book, but to my surprise, I had hardly gone through a page and I was feeling sleepy, why, what's wrong. Though I ran away from school to come home because of the stress, I've been so stressed lately I had a mental breakdown, so to get away from the stress, I had to change environment, 2 day after I got home, the examination timetable was out, so I had to study, but now I have been finding it hard to study, I tried several time but I always end up sleeping, or watching anime on my phone.😭😭
I noticed when it is evening, I was reading and nothing happened, focus was 100% , determination to finish the chapter was 100%, I was studying and I started an online lesson for my course mate, though I love to read at night which is my favourite, not currently I just need rest to ease myself from my stress level, cause it had been building up lately.
I'm not going to give up now, next week Monday, I have two examination, also on Tuesday, I have two examination also😭😭, The school is on a mission to kill me, I can feel it😭😭, but never the less, I stand strong.
**Thanks for reading, I do appreciate all the love you have shown me, after I publish t bonus scene for Welcome to Readcash Academy tomorrow, it would take some time before you see my activities on Readcash again. I love you all.**

Well sponsorship is back.. Make those payment now😁😁
A female visitor
Hey guys, how are you doing, due to the fact that I'm having my final examination starting soon, I haven't been able to be active like I use to, so in my free time now since I'm not reading, I would like to tell you all a story that happened a long time ago, I was still very young then.
It was a faithful Saturday, I was home with my sibling and we were all having a good time, though in my home, we were all allowed to bring home our friends and beside my parent know most of my friends, I had a very close friend back in school, she was always around me, we go home together, eat our lunch together but I only saw it as what a friend would do, there was a time she help me write my note and I was really happy.
One fact is that, my school was very far from my home, I had to take two different bus before I get to my school so there was no way my mom would know her nor my siblings, they only know of my friends in the next street and our street.
Before that Saturday, the girl (let me just use Joy as her name) had always wanted to come to my house, meanwhile she lives in the school area, so I know there was no way she would come or probably I underestimated her resolve.
Joy called me and said she would be coming to visit me that Saturday, I said ok, no problem, I'm at home. Thinking it was a prank, not until she called me and said she was at my bus stop, I was like bus stop ke?, are you for real, you're at Ogijo bus stop, she said yes. I went ahead with a bold chest to meet my mom.
"**Mommy, my friend is coming from Odogunyan to visit me and I want you to cook for her"** the way she looked at me, even the birds where shocked.
She didn't say anything, I was young and naive, so I expected things to go the way I wanted and how it use to be on TV.
Joy came around and I was like, let's go inside my room and the next thing I heard was "**Go inside where, Mr man seat in the sitting room"** I had no choice than to obey, my mom asked me to cook rice while she played the of a detective.
While she was talk to her, I was running errand, I was wondering if I was the only child she had, my younger ones where there, but I was her favorite errand boy for the day.
It was evening already, and I had finished all the errand, I joined them and she gave me some time, it was evening and I was already getting the signal of "**it is late, tell her to go home"** from my mom, come on mom, it's just 5pm.
We spoke for a while and she decided to go home, I was about to apologize for what my mom did, then I heard **"I like your mom, she's very funny and I had fun talking to her" I was like,** "oh really". The funniest thing is that I don't know why she liked me, looking back to the past, I was so ugly, anytime I see my old pictures, I still wonder how girls feel in love with me, probably it was because of my good character and other boys were more uglier😂😂.
Anyways, it ended well, she continued to visit, we became best friend and she turned out to be a family friend, she has moved to Jos city but occasionally visit my city when her school is on break, she was at my place yesterday and we spoke about when she visited for the first time.
The End.
Like I said, I've been so busy lately that I don't have enough time to spend online, but trust me, this Saturday, the Bonus since for **Welcome to Readcash Academy** will be out
What is this strike (ASUU)
"Education is the best legacy" is a common saying in my country, many people would even say, the best gift a parent can give their child(ren) is "Education", but recently I feel that the education that the country has been providing for my fellow Nigerian in Federal school isn't education but a delay of destines.
I hate the fact that most students have been home for over 5month now without receiving lectures, this student are people that are already in the university, they were given admission to a particular course study, yet they haven't started lectures because of the ongoing ASUU strike, all federal university in the country is affected, now imagine the number of students that are home doing nothing.
Many of these students now have taken a different roads that can lead to success or destruction, many have invested this given time into business, investment, learning, crypto, forex, and so on while others are now members of one cultist group or another, some are now thief, other are fraudster, and many more bad things that can lead to destruction.
Students no longer have zeal for education, many of these students are youth, and yet they claim Youth are the future of tomorrow, what future does a country hold when all its future are getting wasted at home doing nothing.
Some people will say, I'm glad I'm in a state university, others will be happy they are in a private university, the **Apocalypse** is upon us, but many aren't seeing the sign, a time is coming when students will chase student out of classes, a time when lecturers will be kidnapped, a time when student going to private university or state university will be scared of going to class because they don't know the fate that would befall them. If we turn blind eyes to this matter, we are looking into a future where sleeping at night will be done with our eyes opened.
Some may blame The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) for the cause of all this misfortune, some students also say it is their fault, but is it really their fault?
Many lecturer and professor from different university have gone month working without receiving their pay, is that really a good thing for a father with 3 kids, people fail to understand the plight of ASUU or the reason why they fight and go on strike, many just want the strike to end, if they end the strike now, don't you think another strike will take place soon. Why don't you let them fight their fight now and never go on strike again, people with families in this line of work will understand how it feels for these workers.
Anyways I don't want to go long, my brother, sister, and cousins are affected by this strike, I'm in a state polytechnic but I'm not happy with the way things are going for them, so many of them are depressed.
I will be starting my exam next week month, my final year examination, so I might not have much time to interact the way I use to, I will do my best to be online, but you won't see me as often as you use to.
God bless you, and God bless my country.
Election: Tribal Sentimental
An election is a process where people come together in other to choose a leader that would guide the affairs of the community, state, or nation.
This process will soon be held in my country as the current president's tenure is about to end, currently, many people from the different political parties have emerged intending to run for the post of president. It would surprise you that in some political parties, more than 2 people came up aspiring for the post of the president but the party can only support one person, that is why they have the primary election within the party first.
We operate the multi-political party system in my country, which means we can have more than 10 different people from different parties contesting for the post of president or governor. With this in mind, different people from different parties have risen to contest for the post of the president in the coming election.
Two major political parties are known throughout the country, this party includes The people's Democratic Party(PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC) but with all the event that has happened in the recent years since the current president emerged, people have lost faith in the government and are ready to vote for the person they feel they wanted. What actually brought us into this mess at first?
What causes the first problem?
There are better candidates that we know can lead this country to a better place but people are just Tribal sentimental, they want someone from their tribe to be the leader of the country. What does it matter if the leader is from any tribe or culture, what we want is a leader, someone competent enough to rule, not someone from either the Yoruba, Igbo, or Hausa clan. This has been the problem of Nigerians from the start, they forget the aim of the election and are blinded by Nepotism.
Present time!
Like I said before, the current presidential tenure hasn't been fair to the public, during his tenure, we had hyperinflation even before the war between Russian and Ukrainian, and there was a worldwide protest that started in the country #ENDSARS
There was mass killing in different parts of the country and tribal war, if not contained, it might turn into a civil war or terrorist attack without any presidential speech.
All these factors will be considered before anyone cast their vote in 2023, yet we still have those that would never vote before they believe their vote doesn't count, these sets of people are people I dislike the most, why would you register to vote and at the end you would not vote then later come out to say "My vote won't count if I vote, and we all know they would rig the election"
Now let me tell you how rigging works, if we have 10million people who register in a location for voting when the time of the election comes then only 5million people vote, you see that the remaining 5million, is the vote they use for rigging election, Dear Nigerians, if you don't go out to vote, and you think your vote doesn't count, think again because you are still voting but not for the person you want.
Tribal sentimental people
We have three major traditional groups in Nigeria which are the Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa. Of all the presidential candidates for this forthcoming election, 3 of them stand out, Tinubu, Atiku, and Peter. These three sets of people come from one of these three major traditional groups, and that's where we have the tribal sentimental people coming in, these set of people don't care who actually set on the presidential seat and make decisions that won't only affect their life but the life of their children and grandchild, all they care about is that the person leading the country is from their tribe, if we need a good leader, we need to wash off that kind of mindset and purge those kind of people out of the decision making. Who cares what tribe the president is from, we don't need a tribal person, we need a leader that would stand for the people, that can think of our future, that would act as a father to the people in the country, an accountable leader, a strong leader, a leader with the good of the people in his heart, that the kind of leader we need, why care what tribe he comes from. Now we need to seat down and have a rethink.
Get your permanent Voters Card (PVC), go out there and vote, make a choice for this country and let's walk together to the promised land. Thanks for reading.

Welcome to Readcash Academy (Part2)
As soon as Class A Gold heard a big bang on the wall which came from Class A diamond, the teacher ran out to see what was happening in their class.
@Lucifer011 : What's going on here, what do you think you're doing @Mofif why are you holding @Amazing-gracegr to the wall, are you fighting this early morning.
****Mofif was still holding amazing-grace to the wall which got the teacher angry****
**Lucifer01**: Are you deaf? Now let go of him and you both should report yourself to the director.
****As both of them walked out of the class, the teacher of class A diamond walked in****
@renren : What's going on here? What is the class so scattered this morning? And why do we have the Gold teacher in my class? Where is the Rep?
**Lucifer01**: probably if you take your class serious and you come on time, your students won't be fighting this morning causing me to leave my precious student and attend to yours. ****he then walked out****
**Renren**: What!! Who was fighting, don't tell me it was **Mofif** and **Grace**!! @bmjc98 why is the class like this, what happened, explain to me.
**bmjc98**: This morning, after we all settled in the class, **Grace** and @Olasquare where talking, I don't know what they where talking about but @Cogamedia was laughing and **Mofif** seem offended by it, **Olasquare** kept on telling him to stop making jest of **Mofif** but grace and **Coga** won't listen, after I saw it was getting out of hand, I went to meet them and ask them to stop. They stopped, it was then I saw Grace walking over to were **Mofif** was sitting and whisper something to his ear, **Mofif** got up and punch **Grace** on the face and hit him on the wall, not quite long, the teacher from class gold ran into our class to see what was wrong and asked them to report themselves to the director.
**Renren**: And the rest of you where just looking when you saw both of them fighting, I'm highly disappointed in you all. Now take your seat.
@Tomi-Ajax : *Ma, excuse me, I would like to use the toilet *Thinking in his mind* (I have to pass through class A gold so* @Ellawrites will *know I'm ok, I need to put her mind at rest*
**Renren**: you can excuse yourself
**he then walked out of the class**
Meanwhile in class A Gold
@Kacy01 : I'm sure it would be that **Tommy**, that's causing trouble in that class, the guy is always looking so mean, I wonder what **Ellawrites** sees in him
@Jumper-01 : Don't be too certain, after the class is over, let's ask **Coga**, I'm sure he will tell us what really happened.
***Tomi-Ajax** ***passes*** *through to the window of Class A gold and stylishly wave at* ***Ellawrites*** *but she didn't notice him because she was talking with* @Balikis *, so he had no choice but to returned back to his class**
**Lucifer01**: Attention class, listen to the attendance call, when you hear your name, answer yes sir.
**As he was about to call their name, the director walked pass the class and headed towards Class A Diamond which made him stop, all the student also had their eyes glued on him as he walk pass**
As soon as the director entered the class, everyone stood up to greet, and they all echoed Good morning sir, meanwhile some other student where already looking at @Princessbusayo wondering why her dad had to come all the way to their class.
**Director** @MarcDeSela : I heard a fight happened in your class **Miss Renren**, I had to come see if everyone is OK and also check on my little princess. (He then smile when he saw she was OK)

I finished the sentence so you can know me is an article like that of a prompt writing because I'm borrowing the idea from our very own princess @Princessbusayo in her latest article, **"I wish I had this**" you can read it **here**. https://read.cash/@Princessbusayo/i-wish-i-had-this-aad730fe
Let's not forget, tomorrow is Saturday, what does this means, it means we would be getting another part of **Welcome to ReadCash Academy,** I'm sure you're excited the same way I'm excited. Anyways let's leave that for tomorrow, back to today's article
I always carry my ID card in my bag.
There is no day I would go out without putting my ID card in my bag first, I put all my ID cards in my bag and the reason is that I have this handsome face and I dress good, just in case I was stopped and harassed by the police, not all police are like that or behave like animals but I do have these feelings that I might get stopped on the road and get questioned but before they do, I would bring out all my ID card, my school card, work place card, Red cross card, Class REP card, Hospital card, insurance card, and all other cards, I do take them out with me. Sometimes if I don't go out with my bad, I'll still put my cards in my pocket.
I wish I could Teleport
If we are making a wish that would come to pass, then it would be to teleport, I'm sure many people in my country would wish for the same power, though I could wish for world peace or a better government, we are human and there will always be a bad egg that would be waiting patiently to destroy all the good things that have been built. With the level of insecurity in my country, I would just teleport myself and my family to a safer country, also it would be easy to carry out other activities to help build my country into a better one. I would be like Batman.
Sometimes I read manga.
Instead of getting bored, or having to spend hours pressing my phone, I would just read manga, beside there are dozens of anime I'm watching that haven't been completed, so I just read the manga to be up to date, ***Attack on titans*** was so interesting I couldn't wait for another season, I had to read the manga, the same goes with ***Demon slayer*** and ***One punch man***. So that's how I spend some of my free time.
I'd eat rice and **beans** every day if I could.
My best food remains Rice and Beans with fried Fish stew, probably Titus fish, I so much love rice and beans, I don't mind eating it every day, so if I had my way, I would eat it every day. Not that I would eat it for a complete day... But I don't mind having it as either breakfast, lunch or dinner in a day.
A talent I have is drumming.
The funniest thing is that I never learned how to play drums but as of today I play drums at church, at parties, and even at concerts, how did it happen. I have always wanted to play drum kit or set, I have always admired drummer, I went to a church one day, while I was just 15years old, a guy was playing the drums but he wasn't playing too well, he wasn't playing it like what I have heard or watch on TV, with all the music I have listen to, I know the beat that would go best for a particular song, I summon up courage and went to meet him, ***"I would like to play the drum"*** he sob me, it wasn't even my church and I was very young, I chased me away but I stood there, he kept on playing, and I was trying to correct him and tell him the beat to use, but he screamed at me, the pastor walked towards us and asked him to let me play, even if it was my first time on the drums, I went with so much confidence, I have never played or practice before, I sat there and the choir started singing, at that moment, it was like I was possessed by a spirit, I played to all the song sang until the end of the program, and since that day till date, I have improved better than what I was .
Everyone says I'm tall
There is no play I go to, I'm always finding people saying, "Whaoo, you're so tall" probably that's why girls like me with my handsome face too.
Today I will try to sleep on time
For the past 3days now, I haven't had a night of proper sleep, it is either I get so busy online without checking the time, I would sleep at 11.30 pm and wake up at 2 am, and the reason is that I want to complete the article I was writing the previous night then I would publish it at 3:30 am, I'm always sleepy when writing those article, but tonight, there is a strange energy in me, so I feel I can do all this.
A talent I wish I had is dancing
I can dance actually, but not that good, unlike the drums, I need to do so many practices, trial and error before I can get a simple step, and I need this so when I'm finally ready to get married, I would dance better than my wife on our wedding day😁😁
Currently, I'm a .....
Currently, I'm a student, a son, a boyfriend, someone pen friend, someone school Dad, a class Rep, a Red Cross member, a writer, an author, a best friend, a life coach, a singer, a songwriter, and many other things that I'm currently am.☺☺

Anyone facing same problem
The Originals (A TV series)
I don't know if you have watched the movie titled THE ORIGINALS, some of you would have heard of it, and some would have watched it, let me tell you an unpopular opinion, The Originals is more interesting than Game of Thrones due to the way Game of Thrones ended. Till tomorrow, The Originals will remain the best movie with the best plot and actors.
**Lead image source** https://images.app.goo.gl/6LsANZ9Sn47ei9549
The Original is a set of families that have been living for a very long time and they are known as the ones who brought about the current vampires we had in the movie. This family consists of 8people, a father and a mother with 6 children, this family made their first appearance in a vampire series that's well connected to the Originals series too.
There is a popular word I lets from the love and bond from the first family of vampires which is "Always and forever" the family of The originals put more faith and priority over their family than anything else.
I would like to mention some characters now that you can never dare miss in the series.
1. Klaus Michaelson
Sometimes, if you're not careful you will think Klaus is the only main character we have in the film because everything happing in the series at a point in time revolves around Klaus's life. Why is this?
The fact remains that, the movie The Originals is all about Klaus Michaelson, who is Klaus? Klaus is one of the Michaelson that got a twisted life, Micheal Michaelson is not Klaus's real father before they all became a vampire, Klaus's mother had an affair with another man who turn out to be a werewolf, and by the time Klaus's mother turns Klaus into a vampire when Klaus had his first kill, his werewolf side kicked it, making him the most feared vampire to ever exist, he had the vampire power and the werewolf power. He was a hybrid and the most powerful Originals to ever exist, Klaus may be ruthless, evil, a manipulator, and many more, he loves his family behold what want a man can think or say. Immediately after he had his first child (Hope),he changed and became more free and easy to talk to, the most feared hybrid started doing things you won't believe he would, he had a soft point before but he became more softer. No matter what Klaus does, his brother (Elijah) will always support him.
Elijah Michaelson.
Elijah Michaelson is calm and also to be feared, he would do anything to keep his family safe, If you happen to have anyone like Elijah in your family, hold onto him so tight he doesn't leave you. Even with the atrocities, Klaus committed in the city, as long as it makes the family good, Elijah would turn a blind eye to it. The promise of Always and forever took a deep root inside the heart of Elijah. Elijah killed their mother to protect Klaus, after their mother's death, many deaths began to happen has all the vampire also pain to kill Klaus, but with the help of Elijah, all plan was stopped, and also Klaus is the strongest of all the Michaelson. If you want to recognize Elijah in the series, just look for the guy who always wears a suit, and always talks with so much wisdom, that's how you know Elijah. if you haven't watched the series, you should now and I promise you, you would never regret it.
Rebecca Michelson
If I say Rebecca is the only one that seems a little normal from the family, you won't understand until I watch it. One of the attributes of coming as an original family is having this super strength, no matter of vampire that plans to take down Rebecca, she's always ready to fight back, especially fight that has to do with protecting the family. Though Rebecca doesn't like to fight or kill, she has a soft spot for humans, it got to a time she always wish to be a human, but that doesn't mean if a human misbehaves in the sight of Rebecca they can still keep their heads. Rebecca is the softie of the family and this has helped the family so well to overcome so many problems.
There are still so many characters to talk about like Marcel, Hayley, Davina, Colt, Michael, Esther, Freya, and many others, this set of people are the people that made this series a wonderful series.
The most painful death in the series.
There is much death in the series but the two most painful death to me was when Hayley died due to the loss of memories by Elijah, immediately Elijah got his memories back and he realized he was the cause of the death of Hayley, who is already a member of the family, she was someone he truly loved
The second most painful death was that of Camille and Josh, these two people had served Klaus so well, so when they were killed, it was one of the most interesting scene in the movie where you see Klaus and Marcel at work, the death of this two people really broke Klaus and not just Klaus but also the readers.
The last death that would put tears in your eyes as a viewer is the death of Klaus and Elijah, till date, I'm still not over their death, how can they sacrifice their life's like that, but anything that has to do with the family, they are always ready to give their life for it.
If you haven't watched The Originals, please find time to watch it and I can promise you, that you would never regret it. Everything about the series is great so do well to watch it. There is a lot to learn from it.
***Thanks to everyone who partakes in reading this, I would have loved to use more images but unsplash.com can't give me the pictures I required. Till we meet again. Have a great day ahead, time of writing this article was 3:25 am with 4%.***
Thanks are to this set of people... I appreciate them and love them too.
A journey back home
The school has been stressful lately, because of the camp and parade training, I had to miss some class and now it biting back at me, though I have been busy and I had a very close friend who I believe understands me and all I was going through, a lady, since I haven't called for weeks and no chatted her up, she decided to pay back with a hostile attitude towards me, after I was back, I tried explaining things to her but she seems not to get what I was saying, now I notice she has been moving with another guy, they are always together, talking, chatting, playing, at first, I felt jealous and betrayed, it felt like I have been replaced, so I moved on.
I decided to visit her one day, and when I entered the room, I found the guy on her bed, though she wasn't inside her room. I decided to wait till she got back and I left, the pressure from my coursemate and lecturer was getting too much. I started feeling frustrated and depressed, for the first time, I couldn't think straight, it was like everyone hated me. How can I feel so low and miserable. I was at my lowest and had no one to talk to.
Since we are on a 2weeks break, I decided to travel to my parent's place in Lagos where my other siblings are, I just wanted a clear head and peace of mind with a lot of food.
The journey.
After I called my mom and informed her I would be traveling back home, she was really scared and was asking me why, I told her I just wanted some space, Due to the current insurgence in the country, she was scared and started praying for me via the phone. Just recently, some people went into the church and open fire, guns on many innocent citizens, both old, young, male, female, and even kids of 5years of age. So she has been scared of any journey, well I'm alive today that's why I post it. My mum kept on calling me throughout the journey till I got home.
I and my friends left Ilorin city in our private car, on our way, we notice the brake light is on, not knowing the brake oil has finished while trying to do that, we notice another fault in the car, it took us more than 30min to get it done after it was done... We continue our journey and started passing the police checkpoint without any stops.
The road police have made it a custom to stop day, owned by younger people, and then asked unnecessary questions and documents that aren't needed, we were stopped twice today which is very good, it's a good sign we had a peaceful journey.
After 6 hours of driving, we finally got home, I came down in front of my house, I bid my friends goodbye and went inside the house, I only saw my mom, she was on call, she had to drop the call and attend to me because she was very happy to see me, I hugged her and kiss her on her cheek, we had a quick thanksgiving prayer, I went to drop my bags inside the room, came back outside only to meet series of question, though, nothing was wrong with me but I felt exhausted. I was glad I was home, my other siblings started coming in one by one, they were all glad I was home, when some of my friends at I was home, they had to drive to my house to welcome me, I felt really blessed and loved. Without taking any drugs, I was already feeling so happy, my mom already prepared rice and stew for me with fish, I love fish too, so I was really glad.
I just hope I would be able to clear my head before this little holiday I gave myself is over. I just needed the rest and a reset mind, I don't know if you understand, but I just needed it.
Thanks for reading, God bless you all for your care and support. Big love to you all, Thanks to everyone. Started writing this article at 8:30 pm and I'm completing it at 2:47 am, quite funny right, that's to show how tired I'm. **Have a great day.**
**Till we meet again, either in your article or mine.**
Haunted by my past life (A story)
I opened my eyes to a new world, I saw people running around me, I tried to talk but words weren't coming out of my mouth, what could be wrong with me, I tried to stand up but my body was so weak, I reach out my hands to the person in my front but then I realize I was in a hospital, my hands where so small and covered in blood, it was then I realized that I was just a newborn baby with the memories of his past life, but immediately I saw the blood, I forgot everything and started acting like a baby and the normal child that I'm.
After my 17th year, I realized I'm always in our garden attending to the plants and making sure they grow properly even though we have a Gardener, I was born into a very rich family where every child has 2maid appointed to them. It was like I never needed my maid to get things done, unlike my siblings, instead of calling for them, I do things on my own like I have done it before, it does make my parents surprise and even the maid too was surprised.
One night, I started having this dream, I see myself in a house with another family, but with a different face, the funny thing is that I'm the father of that family, I had kids and shortly after, I would wake up breathing heavily, I could not tell anyone about the dreams because I was scared of what they would think of me, it continues like this for several nights and it became worst to the extent I started having daydream or vision about it.
It was like I was going to become a mental patient. I had no choice now but to tell my mom, on that day I spoke to her, it wasn't what I wanted to say that came out of my mouth.
**Me**: Mommy, I have something to tell you
**Mom**: Ok, go on
**Me**: (thinking of how to say it then said) I want to go see my first family, my wife and my children too
**Mom**: (confused at my statement, and stare at me for a little while) what do you mean, this is your family.
**Me**: I know, but I have a family somewhere in Africa and I need to know if they are fine.
**Mom**: Are you sure you're ok, or do we need to see the doctor
**Me**: (got angry) do you think I would be joking with this, or does it look like I'm mad, get me to my family so I can know if they are doing fine (said this in an African native language without realizing it)
After my dad came back from work, she discussed what happened to him, my dad was a believer in the supernatural and he told my mom he has to get to Africa as soon as possible, he called me the next day and asked me which country, address and all other information needed, to my surprise, I was answering all the question and I was so sure of the answers.
After 2weeks of preparation, I and my parent traveled to Africa and headed to the location I wrote for them, I got to my house and I saw my previous wife, they were surprised at what a white man and woman would be doing in their house. I called her by her name and she was so shocked, she doesn't recognize me but yet I look so familiar to her, her 20year old daughter came outside to see what was going on, at that time, I recognized **Tayo** and I started crying, after a while, we were invited in, I explained everything that had happened in their native language and I told them of some memories, it was a real shock to them, immediately Tayo ran towards me and hugged me so tight with tears in her eyes and started saying "Daddy welcome back" my two other older daughter "**Remilekun**" and "**Pelumi**" also came to me with tears in their eyes too.
Finally, their mother joined them, I and my parent spent a week there before traveling back, within that one week, I was able to bond with them and we had some special prayer done, after the special prayer, I slept for a day and a half without waking up, and when I finally did, I began to lose memories of my past life, with this, they knew I had to start a new life, I did my goodbye before departing. My parent were still surprised by everything that happened, my mom wrote it into a book and it sold millions of copies, since that day, our lives were never the same again.
**The End.**
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this story, it was a story I came up with while going through a piece of old news, let me ask, do you believe in the past life and reincarnation? Well, I don't know if it is true, but this world is strange enough not to believe it.
**Till we meet again, either in your article or mine.**
What does the word "Love" mean to you.
Many time and days, I have always wondered, what truly is love or what does love mean to one person at a time, what I see as love, is it the same as what the fellow person also see as love. Some acts of love that are done by others, some people might see it as normal because they have already taken love or the act of love for granted.
I have loved and have been loved, but it got to a point in life that I don't understand what love is all about, can you love someone and be with another person? Do you claim to love a person and yet ignore the person and give another one attention? Is that love?
Many people just use the word "**LOVE**" so causally, they would say **"I love you**" do you mean those words, if yes then you won't do what will hurt the person you claim you love.
I have loved
When a person truly loves you, you need no prophet or angel to tell you that this person loves you. Love is in deeds and not just in words, love is how you care, the attention you give, and the words that come out of your mouth at a point in time. When I love, I love fully and not have way, I give my all into the person, I do care of I'm not getting the love I'm giving, because you can't be giving and not getting anything in return, now this kind of love I spoke about here is the one that exists between people in a serious relationship. When I'm showing love to the less privileged I expect nothing from them but their happiness.
I have lost love before
This was a long time ago, I once loved a girl, I can say my first love, after all the love I showed, in deeds but never in words, she still seem not to understand, then one day I sermon up the courage and tell her in words, it was a beautiful but dreadful night for me, oh lord, I was insulted, I never knew it was a one-sided love, I felt cheated on, I felt betrayed, it broke me, and I lost love. I found love again and after a year and a few months, the first girl I dated, we had to end things mutually for our sake then I lost love. It was hard to love again, it was a word I didn't want to hear, it was like "**Love was a scam"** anytime I saw a man or woman telling themselves, "**I love you**" I would just laugh at the joke. To me, no relationship that stood on love, even the love my parent showed me, I didn't believe in it. I saw everyone as an enemy that was trying to use me. At that time, LOVE meant nothing to me.
I found love
In this evil world where everything is upside down, where people are waiting for the opportunity to harm the person next to them, where people gather together to plan evil for others, in this same world where a person will carry a gun to a place and shoot down innocent people claiming their life, in this world, **LOVE STILL EXIST**, I thought there was nothing like love again, but love still exists I just fail to notice it or I chose to ignore it, my parent love me, my siblings love me, at my place of work and my friends love me, I started to understand what love means, the question of "If I die today, who would cry or remember me" was taken out of my mind.
In conclusion
My friends and readers in readcash, yes, love do exist, though it might be hard to find but look deeper, look within you, and you would find it there, many people have given love different meaning but let the meaning you're giving to love be what love truly stands for, if you have given up on love, give it a try again.

Passing out parade: Red cross
What is a passing out parade, many of you that are new to the term "passing out parade" this is a parade that is done by people that have served in a place, be it military or paramilitary, the parade is used to decorate and honor officers that have served well during their tenure, I'm privilege to announce to you that I handed over my post as the Quarter Master of the Nigeria Red Cross, Kwara state polytechnic detachment on Wednesday, yeah, the Wednesday that just passed.
I'm an officer in my school and my job is to provide first aid to everyone studying in my school, both students and lecturers, we also stand as the medical team anytime the school has an event that would pull the crowd. I have served well in my 7years in school, I was once the Public Relations officer, then I was promoted to the Training officer, then to the Quarter Master. It hasn't been an easy job, but thanks be to God Almighty, I have served well and handed my post unto the next set that would move the dream of Red Cross forward.
The parade started at 11 am, and it was held at the IAS ground, it was a big open ground, though I intended not to match because I would like to be on my seat and watch as the new recruit match and give me salutation, but things didn't go how I planned it. I had no choice but to join the parade and act as the second in command on the parade ground. Many nights of practice were not in vain

After all the practice, it was time for us to show the public what we are made of and what we have been practicing, all the sleepless nights finally paid. off
After the parade started, I had to stand for more than 30min on the parade ground for the program to start. Immediately after the parade started, I put all the squad and the squad commandant on attention, then I went to the parade commandant to take over the parade. We matched back and took post of the place we are to stay.

After that, we went on to the slow match, we did the salutation

Then we advanced to the quick match, after the quick match, we all took posts back to the place we were and call back attention, it is in the video, and you can enjoy it.

I hope you love the video
It was a great day and I'm glad I'm beginning to hand over all the jobs given to me in school, it has been stressful, after the camp, then a week later we had our passing out parade, you should know how stressful that would be, but thankfully, it over, I'm now a state man, but I will always be a member, anytime I'm called upon, I would always answer.
