Life lessons from the Vikings It's a new month and an Independence Day celebration for my country, Nigeria. For me, it's that time of the month for self-reflection. `Do you believe everything happens for a reason?` `Do you believe that you were supposed to read this article right now?` `Do you get that feeling that this message was probably meant for you?` I had that feeling too, hence this wonderful article. If you haven't, do check out my wonderful sponsors I have been…
I won't be posting a new article today, reason being that the last one is about 10 minutes long which should serve for two days straight. Due to my busy schedule, I could react to most articles until this evening. It's almost time to go to bed and I have reviewed over 20 brilliant articles. I even learned some great tips on how to write beautiful articles and the concept of having savings. I'm sure I will even learn more tomorrow. That will be all from me for today, tomorrow…
If I were...a little boy **If I were a little boy**, I would wake up so late in the morning, crawl out of bed without a worry in the world except what would be on the table for breakfast. I would eat while watching one of my favorite cartoons and if it got changed, I would cry out loud until my wish would be fulfilled. With a fat and satisfied stomach, I would venture back to my room to play with my toys before finally deciding to freshen up after so many pleas which I would…
Avatar - The Elements *The Elements that make up the world as we have today were depicted in this animated movie showing different characters who could control these elements. I remember the first time I saw it, I had a dream I was also a bender of such elements. It's crazy how far and wide the mind can travel sometimes when you are fast asleep.* `If you dear test the limits of your imaginations then this article is for you.` *Avatar tells the story of people who could…
Controlling your emotions - Anger *"****I had no idea what had just happened, I lost it. He kept on getting on my nerves and I tried to ignore him but he brought my mother into it****"- I told the policemen as they took me away in one of their vans*. I hadn't realized it earlier probably due to the adrenaline pumping through my blood at the moment that I was bleeding. The journey to the Police station was a long one. I noticed students and passersby pointing to the Van, I…

Visions and views - a key to success Visions and views, some would argue that they mean the same thing.

The First time - My escape plan I was going through @Deeepensiverse article today and came across this topic "First time I went exploring -almost got kidnapped". Her experience made me laugh, also she wasn't aware of the danger she was in at the time. https://read.cash/@Deeepensiverse/first-time-i-went-exploring-almost-kidnapped-bc984f31 As I read along, I couldn't help but think about **My Firsts.** The first time I ran away from the house, the first time I told someone *"I…
The Odyssey, a journey back home : Part 1 *Are you a fan of Greek mythology? Does the name "****Odyssey****" mean anything to you? How familiar are you with the fall of Troy and the legend of Achilles? Fortunately, I wrote an article on this a few weeks back (**Trojan war**), and there I mentioned the name "****Odysseus****", the closest friend to* ***Achilles*** *after his cousin -****Patroclus***. https://read.cash/@Greatwolfman/the-trojan-war-f275d939 You see, Odysseus…

Do you believe in Fairy tales? *I spent an awful amount of time reading fairy tale stories, and I would imagine myself to be the knight in shining armor saving the princess in distress from the evil queen. I would make swords out of sticks and shields out of umbrellas. I had this weird costume that came with a helmet. I had so few friends so I would often hop around the compound with my tricycle playing the role of a horse as I rode into battle. I have said this several…

There are bad days Have you ever had a day where nothing seemed to work out the way you want to? I was talking to my good friend @King_Gozie today, and he was in a bit of a situation where things weren't going according to plan. I felt bad for him and this reminded me about an experience I once had. Why are there bad days? *Honestly, I have no idea. Could it be Karma or a message from God Or just you having a bad day?* *Whatever reason behind this experience will remain a…
BCH Nigerian Forum - reaching out to more people in Nigeria This forum started as a dream of one person but has grown into a dream of others, myself included.

We will never forget you I have been trying to put words together all day trying to express just how much pain I still feel seeing how my brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers were gunned down for the sake of protesting against police brutality. The **Special Anti Robbery Squad** **(SARS**) was established in 1992 with the sole objective of dealing with crimes associated with Robbery, Theft, kidnapping among others. Over the years it transformed into something else…
If it were easy everyone would do it *The Dark elves were trying to return the world to the dark ages using a weapon of mass destruction. Thor and Loki are trying to get it out of Asgard through a path known only to Loki since Odin, the all-father had forbidden passage through the Bifrost, the only known way in and out of Asgard. As the group approached the narrow void, Thor fears for their safety given the fact that Loki was indeed the god of mischief. As they drew near,…
Laugh out loud Laughing releases hormones that promote good health. I once created a list of horror movies, twice in fact. I realized that not a lot of people are a big fan of the scare that comes with such movies especially @PrincessMae, so I decided to publish a list of movies that would make you laugh. By the way, check out my amazing sponsor's block `You would also observe that PrincessMae has also joined the list, thanks for the support` There are days where nothing…
I am only human **I** once thoughts I could do it all, be the perfect kid, the perfect son, the perfect friend. I always tried to satisfy people first before myself. I cared more about people's opinions than I cared to listen to what I needed. **A**pparently, I lived in my own world where I thought everything could be perfect. I pushed myself to the limit to set a standard for my siblings to follow. "*it is the responsibility of the Firstborn to set a path for his…

Se-ren-di-pi-ty Have you ever experienced a serendipitous event? ...haha... This is just me flaunting the word "Serendipity" which has just been added to my vocabulary. Since I learned it, I have been looking for an excuse to use it (which I just did). Try saying "Serendipity" over and over, sounds cool, doesn't it? **According to** **Collins Dictionary** https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/serendipity **"******Serendipity**** **is the luck some people have…
Riddles + Cryptography = UFM The title is not a typographical error, it's part of a game we will be playing today. I don't want to write about my life experiences today neither do I want to write about love or heartbreaks. This is one of those days when you just write for fun. I don't know what you do for fun, and we can't possibly play green light, red light. I can't even play that game without thinking about the squid game. So, what about "**Riddles**"? Riddles can be…
I am very disappointed This is me, venting out my displeasure the best way I know. If you noticed I haven't visited any articles all day and there is a very good reason for that. I will do my best not to make this article as short as I can even though there are a lot of things I would love to get off my chest. To summarize my disappointment, I wasn't successful in getting a bed space today during the hostel balloting exercise. **Tug-of-war** I am still an undergraduate in…
Halloween - the Origin Date: 29th of October, 2021 Publisher: Greatwolfman Halloween is by far one of the most celebrated holidays today. Today I will be taking you on a ride into the origin of this celebration. We will also have a look into the symbolism of the "Jack-o'-Lantern" and "trick-or-treats". By the end of this article, you should learn at least a thing or two that you didn't know before today. Let us begin. **Samhain** **Samhain** was a popular holiday tradition…
Hallow's eve specials Date: 30th of October, 2021 Publisher: Greatwolfman **It was just like any other evening**, I had just returned home from school. I was starving so I went to the kitchen and discovered that there was food kept in the thermos flask. I went into my room to change and freshen up as I had a very tedious journey. The peace in the house was just suiting and comforting, no one was at home. I checked the time, it was already 10:30 pm, as I mentioned, it was a…
Titanic - Hymn to the sea `I will make a recommendation as you go forward to read this article. There is a link to the song "Hymn to the sea" below, to get the full experience of this work, I would advise playing it along as you read.
