Bye August, let the embers start It's a new month and it's time for August report. I published a total of 19 articles in 31 days. I'm supervising a construction project and it can be so draining sometimes. Some days I’ll plan to write before going to bed but I’ll be so tired when I get home and just hit the sack immediately, and sometimes I plan to quickly type before the workers start work but one duty or the other calls. Therefore, I won’t see these 19 articles as a low…
What happened at Hollywood Every Nigerian University hostel has its unique history and somehow people with distinct characters are grouped today in a dorm or hall. Yesterday an event occurred at work and it was similar to something that happened some years back at the prestigious Hollywood hall in Yabatech. I was still all smiles till I got home and together with my brother we started reminiscing on events that took place when we were at the Hollywood hostel Yaba college of…
No hope for the youth... In a country where students have been condemned to sit at home for over 6 months, it isn't surprising to see a major newspaper headline read "***No hope for the Nigerian youth".*** Though many got angry with the headline, on further look more than 50% of these students are afraid of what the future holds. Saying they feel Hopeless isn't an insult but a blow below the belt. Some learned one trade or the other, while some started interning at various…
Foundation matters For some time now I've been having symptoms of fever but I didn't pay much attention to it, work needed to be done. "Health is wealth," they say but good food and healthy living can't be achieved without money. The best thing to do is to work and also work at remaining healthy. When the signs of sickness show, quickly do something about it. A Yoruba adage says "ati kekere la tin peka iroko", which means " we destroy an iroko's (tree) root right when it's…
The peer to peer Electronic cash Festival The BCH Nigeria peer-to-peer Electronic cash festival is here already. Imagine a gathering of people with a common goal- promoting bitcoincash. This is a festival like no other and it cut across countries. As we have many organizations like Satoshi’s angels, Bitcoincash Venezuela, Bitcoincash Argentina and some individuals working solo.

An Immortal mortal I With a jolt I woke up from sleep, tired and wondering why my body aches so much, I must have been out for a long time because my head feels empty and looking around I could see that it was night already. I climb out of the pit with a plaster dangling from the hand the drip was connected to earlier. I saw the clothes I took from a basket at the hospital. My head was still foggy and I was trying to remember how I got there. I know only one person can…
An Immortal mortal II ...I left her house with tears in my eyes and head downtown, to the most dangerous hood. With just a rod in hand, I broke into different warehouses where the drug dealers stay. I know their hideouts because I work with the CIA, in the forensic department . I was welcomed with bullets but they kept falling after penetrating my body. I endured the brief pain and walk menacingly towards them. With fear, they dropped their guns and I tied them all up, I put…

Biggie's change in fortune Have you ever felt lonely, unwanted and discarded? That’s exactly how I feel in my usual position at the veranda. It wasn’t always like this, I was once the centre of attention and everyone’s best friend until I lost a limp while trying to save my master. I risked my life by taking a bullet for him. At first, he appreciated it and the whole family dotted over me. For days I watched how they narrate to visitors about my heroic display. They visited…
Reconciliation is needed There is a popular saying, "That even the tongue and teeth would fight once in a while, yet they remain best buddies." As humans, we are bound to offend each other, and fight each other, but we should always seek peace. Accept that we are wrong when we know we are at fault and try not to repeat it. So many things can be done to keep peace in our hearts and in our homes, both as individuals and as countries. We are all human, we share the same…

Is money everything? *What kind of mindset do you have about money? Is money everything?* We live in an era where money nearly buys almost everything; only the rich are believed to have a say in society, and the poor are considered useless and not important because they are believed to corrupt all the important discussions that take place in society. What kind of system do we really practice and how will it impact our upcoming generations? An important discussion arose…
Footballers and their celebration I *Back in High school at the state high school football competition, my school lost her first game 3-0 but a few hours after the match it was announced that the opponent cheated by fielding mercenaries, we got the 3 points and needed just a win to qualify. In training, we practised ways to beat the next opponent and most importantly how to celebrate.* *Image from goal* *We practised how to celebrate when we score, the goal scorer will look…
