Toxic love

Good evening all read stars🌟🌠. I hope y'all have had a great day so far, my day has been filled with a kind of disappointment tho. I can't remember well but in an article that @mofif wrote about his HP incidence, I was the one who went to help him get the hot plate and unfortunately, the hot plate didn't last, I had to go and complain even though the place where I bought it from was far, it was really stressful but I had no choice but I'm well rested now and I'm back active 👍
The reasons why I keep delivering
I'm writing today on a particular lady that fell in love with a guy that doesn't know her worth, I actually was in love with this girl and I still am, it happened that while we were in secondary school, Stephanie was my class mate, she wasn't just a class mate, she was the most beautiful and hottest girl in the whole school, we were just in SS1 when I got to know her and all our seniors then used to come to our class just because of this girl, I got interested in the girl during our SS2 extra classes and I noticed that she could easily be manipulated, I loved her so much and so I couldn't use her weakness against her, she was one of a kind but she was weak emotionally. We started getting close and it was seeming like she was giving me green light and as I was about to shoot my shot, one guy from no where came, he was our senior actually, Dremo, he was a very influential student in the school and that's maybe because he was the SRC president. He started talking to her and they started going out together.
I tried my best to warn her about this guy but she thought I was jealous and feeling insecure, he was definitely a player but she seemed to grow so much interest in him and I was not getting why, maybe because of the position he held in school. There was a time she came to report him to me on how he treated her like she was not shit to him, she had followed him to the mall that day and he saw some of his friends, he apparently forgot that she was there and he followed his friends away from the mall, she had to find her way back home on her home and when she told him, he just shrugged his shoulder and said sorry like it never happened, I told her to break it with him but she didn't listen and felt like she had everything in control and kept the relationship going but when the day of her break fast was served, she came crying to me and never told me what had happened but they broke up.
Not me thinking that she had learnt her lesson, we both got admitted into the same university, but I was a set ahead of her because she didn't get admitted immediately after school. There was this guy she met with me when she came visiting after she had resumed, the guy was way older than me, not to talk of her. When Stephanie saw him, you won't believe she acted like she didn't come to see me, most of her conversations were with him and I was praying any bad thing didn't turn out to happen again because I knew the type of person Dray was, he was also into politics and also into drugs but I guess it was already late as he had sweet talked her and collected her number, he even promised her protection on campus because he had friends that were cultists. I warned her against this guy but she didn't heed as usual and I left her and hoped she won't regret her actions again.
Nevertheless, I was waiting for the bad news, it was quite evident that she'd come back crying to me but this time it was even worse as she was already pregnant for him, I asked her why she had not opened up to me since and she was like he had threatened her not to make it known, she included that this was the fourth pregnancy she'd be carrying for him, she had committed abortions and she must not abort this present one if she didn't want to be barren all her life. I asked her to meet him and discuss family with him and he beat her so bad that she ran away from him. I couldn't do a lot for her than to beg her parents on her behalf to accept her back as their daughter but she couldn't continue her education and she's now a drop out begging me to marry her with Dray's kid. I need your contributions, would it be wise to still marry such a person??? I need your comments 😂

My addiction to Video games 2

10-11-2021
Good morning to all the read stars here, it's nice being here once again, going out to perform our daily activities, I'm sure wasn't an easy one. Remember the exam I talked about yesterday, all I can say is "e choke". The Nigerian university system really needs to change, you won't imagine that most of the questions that came out today weren't from our notes, they were all copied from the internet as I suppose but it's fine, we move...
Let's take a look at my sponsors
The reasons why I keep delivering
Last night, I remember talking about my addiction to Video games and in there, I mentioned a few things to clarify the terms and terminologies I'd be using in this article, so that you won't be left behind, go and read that one first, then you can come back for this.
***********************************
My dad and I played the last game of the day after he had promised me a new console (PS5) if he loses the game, I was too sure to win the game again but I must say, he really improved in his game, that's why in life, people tend to work if there's something on stake. He played so well that he scored me first but at the end of the game, I later won and he bought me the latest console the next day. I was really happy but something was missing. I could only play with my siblings, no one else comes to my house to play games, I was really bored one day and decided that I'll carry the console to a friend's house to play, I placed a call and he said I wouldn't need that. He took me to a Barber's salon and there was the console there but it was quite different, we both made a bet that the loser of the game gets to settle the bills. I kept playing and playing but I was conscious of time, and as soon as it was 4pm, I stated going home and met the house as I left it. That feeling was so good because my father must not know that I left the house to play a game I have in the corner of my room.
**Basic controls on PES**
To make a short pass (X)
To make a cross (O)
To shoot ([])
To make an up though pass (L1+∆)
Lofted shot (L1 + [])
To make a through pass (∆) and so on.
I'd like to share my experience on how I've implicated myself before, it was a sunny afternoon and my mum sent me to get her some vegetables, we were about to have lunch. I collected the money in haste as I ran out of the house. I was not running because I wanted to get what she asked me on time, I ran to Harry's house and convinced him to follow me to the game shop yet again, he was reluctant and claimed that he was tired, he then said he'd go if I accept the deal of paying for any game I lose, and as soon as I got there, it was like he was planned as he kept beating me and I wanted to retrieve my mother's vegetable money, I kept playing to get back the amount I had kept losing until it was time to go home and I had lost all, Harry had to borrow me home to give my mother and as soon as I looked outside, it was already night in no time. I knew I had messed up and when I got home, I got punished by my Dad... I promised never to play PES again and that was how I got over my addiction
I am sure I didn't write this article as I promised to but I'm really tired and can't think, so I had to put a lot of energy to write this today. I'm going to sleep after and maybe tomorrow I will be back with my stunning articles...
Jah bless❤️
My addiction to Video games

Good evening to my fellow readers here, I hope y'all had a great day, mine was great too but it was mostly filled with preparation for tomorrow's exam, I'm just going to write this and run away, hopefully I don't write too long but I'll try to be as brief as possible because I actually have a lot of video games I'm addicted to. Before I continue, I'd like you to check sponsors and check their pages out...
The reasons why I keep delivering
First of all, I'd like to say that this is not to defame any video game policy, everything written here are based on my opinion and not targeted to defame any company whatsoever. I am a real big fan of video games and I guess that's because I grew up in a semi wealthy home, I'd say. I was provided with all the games that were available and I was up to date when it comes to games, I'd mention a few below;
Pro Evolution Soccer (PES)
Need For Speed (NFS)
Mortal combat
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) {San Andreas and Vice city}
GTA 5
God of War
Winning Eleven 8 international
Prince Of Persia and so on
**CONSOLES**
Consoles, like the CPU of a system are the processors of the games,that's how best I can explain what they are, consoles are really the game, like the brain box, without it, the screen won't be able to display. You might be wondering if your laptop is a console because you play video games on it but I'll tell you it's not. Consoles are of different grades, but I'm more familiar with the Play Station, we also have others like X-box and co but I really never liked them, I prefer the Play station popularly known as PS. These consoles come in different ways, it all started with the Play Station Portable (PSP), that's what I started with though, I don't know if any one preceeds it but it was really portable just like the above picture and the controls were easily accessible, that's the smallest Play Station so far that I've seen, so after this one is the PS 1 to PS 5 which is the last one that's out right now, this consoles increase in quality as the gain higher Numbers, not just in the RAM but also in the graphics. Game pads were also introduced since the multiplayer option was included and both of you won't have to hold the console, this was a great improvement compared to PSP because that one was limited to just one user, so you'll get tired of it easily but you can playing with your friends. A whole lot of people were fascinated by this idea and this made these set of consoles sell more than the initial Play Station Portable.
Now to my addiction, I was very addicted to these video games but I was particular about Pro Evolution Soccer (PES), I guess that's because I'm a guy but that's not a reason though. I would play PES for hours and never get tired, I was the best in my house, I would beat my brothers mercilessly and even my Dad anytime he plays but I make sure I don't beat him too much to avoid stories that touch concerning my pocket money, there was a day my father came back from work and was really tired, he went upstairs to have his bath and came back downstairs to eat his food, thinking that he'd go to sleep immediately after the food but I trapped him and sat him down to play with me, he told me that he was just ready for one game and he kept emphasizing "one game" but we kept playing and I kept winning all the games but when it got to the last game, my Dad promised that if I won that game, he'd get me the latest console (PS5) for me the next day... Wanna know what we later played?
Come back tomorrow to read the part 2, I need to read this night...

No convocation rice? 😓
Good evening to all the readers here, I hope your day has been so good, I'm sure we've all been busy just like myself, it's Monday and that should be expected. Today was a little bit rough as my read.cash account was acting kind of funny this morning, I expected a visit for so long but it never came, not untill this afternoon and I was very happy about that. I also went to a lot of places today and the heat was extraordinary and unbearable, I changed my clothes four times today because I kept coming back to my hostel to have a shower, yeah!!! It was that bad but I guess it's a little bit palatable now even though the walls and floors are radiating tons of heat but we are glad that atleast we can feel some fresh air.
The reasons why I keep delivering
Today's writing will be on my University's convocation, the university of Ibadan has been known for one of the loudest convocation ceremonies in the history of Nigerian universities, during my secondary school days, I'd always look forward to the university of Ibadan's convocation because it will always be fun, all the car parks would be filled up, all vacant field space would be occupied with canopies and we'd all wait for the graduands at their tents to come out of the International Conference Center. As the graduands go to their various tents, we'd congratulate them and their parents and we'd receive a pack of food in return, this was almost a tradition in the university and it was always anticipated every year but this year was kind of different.
Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the university came up with a very funny and saddening protocol, it was reported by the university press that there would be no graduation ceremony this year, and added to that was the most shocking one, " graduands with less than a first class grade must not be seen in the International Conference Center (ICC)". This was very disheartening to many graduands, especially those that graduated with a second class grade, it was so painful that the university would rather not recognize them as graduating students. All these were not my concern, my main concern is you guess!!! Right 🙃 the rice that I used to receive every year won't be there anymore or maybe just this year.
I was very sad and couldn't imagine that I won't receive any convocation rice today, I woke up late as all other days because I've been reading up late at night, I stared out of my windows to see canopies like we used to see every year but this year was quite different, it was just like a normal day, no traffic jam, not graduating students taking pictures together, I took to my phone and asked a few of my friends what their plan for the day was and they gave me the brightest update that I received today, it was reported that the university has lifted the ban on the non first-class graduating students, I was happy for them but I was more happy for my stomach. I took my bath in a hurry and didn't mind the hot sun, I went straight down to the conference center and behold was the crowd of graduating students, at the car park, I could see heaps of takeaway packs in the boot of various cars, my friends and I entered the park and started our food hunt, at the end of the food gathering, we made our counts and I was the highest for the convocation day 1, I had 23 packs, follows by my friend with 15packs and the others with less than ten. We could also bag some drinks as we hoped to also be graduating students in coming years.

Busy sabbath
Good day to all read stars here, just like one of my best writers here would say 😊... I hope your day hasn't been too busy and activity filled, it's Sunday and we should actually have some rest because tomorrow is Monday again and the beginning of another working week. You all are going to bear with me as I'm about going a little spiritual today, I might not be so good but I guess I'll go by the spirit today. I was actually inspired by @Scotty17 this morning to write this, I read his article on what the Sabbath day is and how it's meant to be and I could feel his frustration on people that take the Sabbath day for granted. I'd like to also put my view down concerning this certain issue but before we continue, let's take a look at my sponsors
The reason why I keep delivering
I am also going to say my take and supporting it with the Scriptures and I stand to be corrected and also don't intend to offend anyone with my belief, we are all different and we have our differences so I don't expect everyone to be cool with it but I'm not intending any religious bant through this...
First of all, what's the Sabbath day, according to the English dictionary, "the Sabbath day is observed in Judaism and some Christian denominations as a day of rest and worship". The Sabbath day doesn't specifically have a day, because I learnt that some denominations have their Sabbath day on Saturday or Friday or Sunday, which ever day it is, I don't have a problem with it but the Sabbath day is meant to be a day of rest and worship unto God. Here are a few instructions from the Bible:
**DON'T WORK ON THE SABBATH DAY**
We shouldn't be found working on the Sabbath day, this is a really controversial one but I'm coming back to that part of the controversy.
The Bible says " But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou."(Deuteronomy 5:14, KJV).
According to this bible verse, no work should be done on the Sabbath day, the Bible even included almost all the family members in the passage and this is to tell us how special the Sabbath day is to God. He doesn't want any activity going on on the Sabbath day. I know what's going through your mind right now, maybe if someone needs urgent medical care, should the doctors also claim they aren't working on the Sabbath day? Well, I'd not support losing lives that could be saved on the Sabbath day all in the name of our belief, if you ask me, I'd call that hypocrisy.
Even the Pharisees, I refer to them as the father of hypocrisy, they asked Jesus the similar question, and even confronted Jesus when he performed signs and wonders on the Sabbath day, to we, humans and according to that bible verse quoted previously, I'd say they might be right to think it's wrong to perform miracles on the Sabbath day but how many of them refuse to cook through out that day. I mean!!! If you're doing good on the Sabbath day, I don't think you're doing the wrong thing.
**GO TO CHURCH ON THE SABBATH DAY**
The Sabbath day is meant for the Lord and there should be no excuse for us staying in our houses, we should go to the church or our various places of worship to fellowship with other children of God.
The Bible says " Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord."(Leviticus 19:30, KJV). According to this verse also, we are to reference the sanctuary of the Lord, that's the church of today. When we talk about referencing the sanctuary, it means giving respect to the house of God, you can't give respect if you refuse to go to church. How'd you reference God's sanctuary from your house. It's okay to do online services but it's not advisable, find a church to go and do not forsake the assembly of God's children. Some people, instead of going to church, they go to club houses and other bad places on the SABBATH DAY... That takes me to my third point.
**AVOID EVIL PLACES ON THE SABBATH DAY**
This last point is just as easy as saying that we should reference the day of the Lord, how many of us can go to the club house when we have an appointment with the richest person in the world? God is even richer than the richest, we shouldn't take his long suffering attitude as being fool, God keeps quiet and allows man make his choices all by himself but I'd tell us to make wise choices. I'm not going deep into this so as not to bore you out.
**Conclusion**: The Sabbath day is the holy day, the day of the Lord, the day to reference the sanctuary of the Lord and it should be kept holy.
**References**: The holy Bible (KJV) and all images from unsplash.

A bipolar day
Good evening fellow readers, I hope you all have had a great and fulfilled day, mine has been kind of filled with mixed feelings and that's exactly what I'm going to write about today, so grab some popcorn because I'm about to make you stare at that screen for some minutes. **LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT MY SPONSORS BEFORE WE CONTINUE;**
The reason why I keep delivering
Back to my story, I hope you've done the necessary. My today has started yesterday, that might sound funny and impossible but when I tell you that all my hope of how today was going to be depended on yesterday. I had just concluded my today's examination when it prompted to me that I should write about today, it has been a long day if I'm not going to deceive myself.
I am not a great student when it comes to academics, I actually love anything practical and my country doesn't really prioritize that for us. I was meant to have an exam today and as at yesterday, I had not started reading for the paper, it was a CBT exam and I was not even ready at all, my heart raced as yesterday began to close up, I didn't have any idea of where to start my reading from. I had a textbook of 345 pages to complete, a PDF file of 125 slides to read and moreso, our test questions to practice. These load of work really made me tired and I started reading from around 2pm yesterday till 6pm, when it was evening, I was already having serious headache and I needed rest, so I left the library and headed to my room so as to get some rest.
As soon as I reached my room, I met my roommate and some other students checking some past questions and I decided to join them before I slept off. To be honest, all what I've been reading about 4hrs couldn't work out for me as I could not answer those questions at a glance. I was so frustrated and angry at myself but my roommate kept hammering that I needed to answer those past questions because my school repeats it's questions yearly, I was reluctant to do it and told him to wake me up when he was about to sleep. It was around 12am when he woke me up that I decided not to read again, I just collected the past questions and went back to the reading room, I answered all the 140 questions with the help of my textbook and didn't read anything else after even though I answered those questions about three times consistently. All my hopes were in those questions and I knew within myself that if those questions didn't come out, I was done for. My success was all dependent on those questions and I risked it all.
I went back to sleep around 4am, that was actually risky too because I had to leave for my exam center latest by 7am, I almost slept off again but my roommate came to my rescue yet again and woke me up, we left for our centers together and we got there about 15minutes into the exam, as soon as we entered the Exam hall, we went to locate our seat numbers and waited for the instructor to tell us to start. My heart began to race knowing that I didn't prepare adequately for the exam, so I had to put myself together because it was too late to start regretting.
Invigilator: The time is 8:15am!!! And your username is your matric number and the password... 456...
**START!!!**
(he shouted on top of his voice)
I inputted my details and started the question, I first checked the number of questions and the time allocated, we were meant to answer 140 questions in 60minutes. This made me even more scared but it came to my mind that time had started running, I started, and the questions were exactly the same as the past questions my roommate gave me, I looked at his side and saw the smile on his face, we were definitely tearing the paper. I selected my answers with joy and kept picking them with the mouse like I was the one that set the questions, I was too happy to even notice that I had finished the 140 questions in less than 30 minutes. I pressed next and it asked if I wanted to submit, I was surprised but I went through the questions again for the last time and did some last time check, after that, I still had more than 20 minutes left, this was really surprising as others kept wondering how I finished so early.
I was so restless for the last 20 minutes of the exam. Indeed " the idle hand is the devil's workshop". I had submitted my exam long ago and I was getting bored, so I minimised the browser for the exam and started checking the computer for games, stupid me, right?.. I know, but I didn't think of it that way.
The alarm in the hall blared so loud and the people in charge of the CCTV camera came directly to my seat and stood me up, I was confused and kept shouting that I was done and I already submitted but they insisted that I followed them to the control room, they kept questioning me and the more questions they asked even made me more confused, they were asking if I knew about programming and if I had gotten access to the server where the answers were... I was even more confused because I know nothing about programming but they seemed threatened and I kept looking and telling them my lame and stupid reason 😂. They ran series of checks on the system that I used for the exam, I was delayed for several hours after the exam time had elapsed, they ran checks on their main server and on all the computers they suspected that I had tampered with and saw nothing, even at that, I was still asked to pay a fine of #5,000 for inconveniences, I even wanted to ask if they accept BCH, but I kept quiet so that I won't make things worse as I knew crypto currency wasn't even really legal here, so I made the transfer and apologized about the confusion I had caused and left the exam center around 8pm after everyone had left. I was so happy to be released because they could have disqualified me from writing the exam but I guess my innocent face played the trick or maybe God favoured me, he definitely did and I must be really grateful. It has been a really long day, from good to bad but we move😊...
Read and enjoy 🙂❤️
Crypto currency for beginners
As my profile indicates, I'm new to business (crypto), I just started trying to learn some things on it and I'm taking a WhatsApp class to understand how it works and this is a note I was able to compile during the class, so I stand to be corrected if I'm making a mistake or more in anything you read here. **LETS TAKE A LOOK AT MY SPONSORS BEFORE WE BEGIN;**
The reasons why I keep delivering
Well, generally we don’t need to talk much about it in any manner, I guess we all have a brief idea of how it is. Crypto as it is commonly called is more than Bitcoin, ethereum , dogecoin alone. It’s like a world itself, well let’s forget about the stories cause we are into the real world market and the market is always right .
There are hundred of thousands of coin and there will still be more because basically anybody can create their own coins.
We have categories of coin which mainly I will categorize as:
¶ Stable coin
¶ Alt coin (Alternative)
¶ Shitcoins
**STABLE COINS**
More like the ones we are familiar with, they are the generally accepted coins, in that category, we leave Bitcoin and ethereum , BNB
**ALT COIN**
Well more like a substitute when the stables aren’t available e.g Dogecoin, Tron etc
**SHITCOINS**
This are coins that could be out today pump to like 20000x and **rug pull**. (The developers are out)
**Concept of Demand and Supply**
**Demand**
Demand, well if not everyone, but atleast we know what demand is. Also there is this law in economics that states that the higher the demand, the lower the supply and vice versa. Demand basically means to ask for something, in this case coins.
It means to bid which means to buy.Well let’s leave it like this, you will get familiar with some terms in crypto. You don’t need to rack it all in your brain yet as you'll get use to them as time goes on. When there is high demand, the buyers gain momentum. They gain momentum in a way that they will force the price of a particular coin up till supply or suppliers want to come in. Well, that’s enough on buyers, it’s steady, just basic understanding is enough for now.
**Supply**
Supply on the other hand means to give. It means to sell out, another law when reversed states that the higher the supply, lower the demand. So suppliers are sellers.
Demanders are buyers. There are sometimes when both buyers and sellers will be in control of the market. Well that would be understood later on.
Another thing we have in crypto currency is **news**. Well news might act in your favor or against you, it depends on how well you act on it and interprete the news. News factor can change the direction of market sometimes, not that your analyses or predictions you are wrong. **YOU MIGHT TOTALLY RIGHT BUT THE MARKET IS ALWAYS RIGHT AND IT RESPECTS THE NEWS.** Example of prominent figures in this crypto currency world are
✓ CZBinance
✓ Elon Musk.
Please if they post any news , try to be calm before you enter the market, especially the one that catches cruise on Twitter and his social media pages, you all know who I mean.
**TERMS IN CRYPTO**
Moon- To pump rapidly
Lambo - To make huge profit
Rekt - Well from the name , you could guess it. To lose a whole if not all your capital.
DYOR - Do your own research
NFA - Not a Financial Advice
TA - Technical Analysis
FA - Fundamental Analysis
This brings the end of today's class, you might have learnt one or two things even though most of them are basic things, I'm not sure if I'll be continuing this class is why I didn't prepare for that in my topic but it depends on the turnout.
I'd like to appreciate my latest sponsor @QueenRaay, I appreciate your interest to make me feel encouraged to write more and I want to assure you that I'd not fail
I'd like to appreciate my latest sponsor @FarmGirl, since I've gotten to know her page, she has always got my back and I really appreciate it and promise to try my best not to fail your expectations...
Pick up your pieces and start over again; Episode 2
I started this series yesterday and as long as I felt like writing on, I was scared not to bore my readers out while reading the article, together with the fact that the first case I wrote on yesterday is a very big topic or should I call it issue. I'm going to continue the article today even though today has been stressful and quite busy but I'm sure my brain isn't at rest to give y'all the best I can offer. **I want you to check my sponsor block before we continue the article...**
One and only 🥳🥳😭😰😣❤️
*****CONTINUTION*****
**MY FIRST BREAK-UP**
After I repeated the class in SS1, I had to pick myself up, I did everything I could do to remain in a good mental health and I started relating so well with the other students, it wasn't easy for me but I had to do it and when nature would come to play, I started catching feelings so to say😂, I wouldn't say I was in love really, but I actually was tripping, Anita was beautiful, elegant and on top of everything, she was smart. Anita was even among the top ten best students from their junior secondary school, I was indeed in love with her intelligence and all but I needed something to make her feel my attention so that I won't just be like that failed student in the class, so after I got determined to pass technical drawing, I was really good at it and it was a point of attraction as she got even close to me so that I'd put her through on how to do some constructions.
We got really close and we're even at the verge of dating but due to some reasons, we couldn't. There was no reason actually, I was just Shy and couldn't express my feelings 😰. She was a boarder girl, as per she leaves in the school dormitory and I was lucky to have some boarder girls as friends too, they were of help to me, especially Tonia, even though she was even finer and looked even better than Anita but I didn't even look at her side because I felt she was on a higher level, compared to mine. But she was a good friend though, she told me how Anita talks about me in the dormitory, I'd blush anytime I hear that but I never shot my shot. When it was her birthday, I planned a grand proposal to her and I tried my best to gather the courage to buy a lot of stuffs for her, I spent my savings and got all those things including the flower I planned to use to ask her out. I put it all in a bag and headed down to her dormitory immediately after school, she was outside chilling and I approached her, gave her a warm hug and presented the gift, I totally forgot I was meant to ask her out, probably because it was my first time of hugging a girl, my brain must have been absent at that point. She smiled at me as she gave me another hug, at that point, I wasn't sure of what exactly I wanted again because I didn't want to spoil the relationship we had at that time, I was still wondering if she really liked me but I never took a chance.
My friends abused me even more than I abused myself but what could I do, my shyness was killing me and I told my friends that I'd not go for her again until it was time for prom, for people that don't know what prom is, it's like a dinner night for students leaving secondary school, in this context. They told me it wasn't a bad idea but I must not mess it up this time around. I promised not to and I was really serious about it this time, her friends too told me the same thing. It was finally time for guys to start asking girls to prom, there was no specific time but as soon as we entered SS3, guys were already picking dates but mine was different, I wanted it to be the third term before I asked, to cut the story short, she was tired of me as I was postponing everything and she was scared that she wouldn't later get a date and as soon as I was ready, she already had one 😭, what was I expecting, a hot chick like that?... I messed up again, but this time, I was heart broken. I also contested for Prom king and unknowing to me, she also contested for Prom Queen. Fate now did the best part of it and made both of us win the contest... <She was damn hot on that day>.I saw her and was shocked by what I was seeing. We both emerged as the prom couples and I didn't even care about who her date was, I stepped up to her and kissed her as everyone cheered. I got her at last, in the grand finale, we didn't just end up prom couples but real couples that we are now.

Pick up your pieces and start over again; Episode 1
Today has been one of the most stressful day for me after I resumed to the university, remember that I had an exam this morning, it was actually French, I'm not a fan of French, my apologies to all French speakers here but I really don't understand the language, I couldn't read my note and the only thing I could source for was just past questions to guide me in reading and I tried my best to cram some answers even though it wasn't very easy, but I did it and to God be the Glory, most of the questions were directly from those past questions and questions that were kind of related to them. I was really happy about it and I'm hoping for a good result. Up next is Ges107; Reproduction and sexually transmitted diseases and that's going to be on Saturday. Today was also a good day for me, especially on my read.cash page, I won't say it all but it's the beginning of good things on this account. **LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT MY NEW, ONE AND ONLY SPONSOR FOR NOW;**

My article today is going to be about picking yourself up from your pieces, you might be broken and feel so down and maybe there's no one to comfort you, I've been there and I'll list them as follows:
**Repeating a class:**
It happened that when I was in Jss3, I was not really a smart student especially academically, I used to just find my way about passing my subjects. I'd cram and pour in the exam, I was definitely good at that but I knew that'd not work for me in the long run especially as I was approaching the Senior secondary school, the time later came and I was meant to decide if I was to go for Arts or sciences, I initially wanted to be a vet doctor but I hated biology so that wasn't an option, I later entered science class signing an undertaken that if I fail, I'd go to arts class or repeat the class. I was challenged but I later lost focus, when we resumed, I was not in the tech class but a competition came up and I represented the school and won an award based on tech because of the practical knowledge I had before, the principal asked me to go to the tech class which I did but they had a very strict and wicked English teacher, it was really like as if he hated me for real. He never smiled at me immediately I came to the class and he even happened to be our class teacher, he even used to tell me in secondary school that I'd fail his subject and passing English language was a requirement to be promoted to the next class, he really meant it and failed me, I'd say he failed me because other teachers testified that I wasn't that bad at English but I guess it's all for the best, I also had a problem with technical drawing probably because I was transferred from a different class to the tech class. Infact, I was second to the last in technical drawing with the fact that I failed English. I needed to choose either to repeat the class or go to arts class, it was a very hard decision for me to make but I wanted to prove to them that I wasn't a failure, I chose the hard option even though going to arts would have been hard too but I felt I'd adapt but I was brave enough to choose to repeat the class.
The first day of resumption was like hell to me, I thought I was brave enough but I could not even go to my old class, I went to where my mates where, in SS2, I stayed with them for some hours but I really could not go back to SS1, it was strange and when disgraceful, I thought, what would my juniors say, my old teachers too that taught I was smart, I'd be a disappointment to them but I Thank God for one of my old friends that boosted my courage to go back to the class which I did, immediately I sneaked in, trying so hard so I won't be noticed, one junior came to chase me up the sit shouting like a baby, I was disgraced publicly as the class looked back in surprise like they had a new student, the teacher in class knew me well because I was good in her subject, she called my name in surprise and asked what I was doing in her class but I couldn't answer but deep my face into my palm and cried, she came to pat me and said I should see her after the class which I did, she encouraged me and told me to pick myself up. I took up the challenge and took all my subjects seriously especially the English language and technical drawing. To God be the glory, I got B in English and A1 in technical drawing in my WAEC, and not that only, I was also the best student in technical drawing.
I'd love to give the second and third instances but I guess I'll deliver that tomorrow, I want y'all to engage on this post like never before, I'm promising to drop better articles as time goes on...

Examination malpractice
Good day to all readers here, I hope y'all had a very good day, mine was stressful but I'm happy that I'm back from where I went to, even before this heavy rain started, I'm writing on examination malpractice today not because I've been in such an act before *even though I've actually cheated before 😂...*
Let's take a look at these sponsors
by faith, in no time, the block will
be filled up
As I was saying, I won't really call my case of cheating examination malpractice because I was just all caught in it unintentionally. It happened in my secondary school final exams, it was in fact the external exam, our seniors had come to give us some orientation on how to pass the exams without cheating, they told us to read like we've not prayed and pray like we've not read. They also told us about cooperation before we enter the exam Hall, we were asked to help each other in answering questions that are likely to come out in the exam. But before the main external exam, even before our last year in school, we had an external exam to test our knowledge and our preparation for the coming final exams. It was not compulsory but I also registered to have a taste of how the final exam would be, when the exam started, I was added to a WhatsApp group named "TONY K SOLUTIONS".
My innocent self thought it was a WhatsApp group for probably brainstorming and I used to join them in solving the questions which I taught were past questions, we'd solve them together a night before the exam but to my surprise, I'd meet the exact question in the exam the following day, it became suspicious and I asked them where they got the questions from, they'd tell me that some teachers arrange it for them, so I kept quiet and after the exams, and we were all waiting for our results, they all got their results and I was the only one that didn't get mine, my result was seized because I got A1 all through, I was called to the examining body's office to defend my result but I couldn't, the result was seized and I had to face the consequence by writing the final exam compulsorily.
This was exactly when I knew what I was in for, my friends had passed all their papers so they didn't need to focus too much on the final exam, they were just catching cruise and I blamed myself for not leaving that group immediately after I was added. I started my preparation towards the final exam so that I won't be tempted to involve myself in any form of malpractice, I read day and night like there's no tomorrow. People came by to caution me and told me to take care of my mental health, so I decided to balance things up, but I still used to read more than I played and relaxed.
The examination date started drawing close and I started hearing them mentioning some other WhatsApp groups, I turned my dear hear to all of them and did my own thing my way, the examination timetable finally arrived and my most feared subject, mathematics was the last on the table, I knew I wasn't so strong at maths and I knew I needed help but I was quite confident about my other subjects. The exam started and all my papers were good, at least I was flowing with the questions and I was sure of my A's but as soon as it almost reached the time for mathematics exam, people started panicking, I thought I was the only one that had issues, not knowing that all my friends that I thought cleared their results actually had issues with their maths, so everyone was so serious during that maths time and people started pairing in groups and solving questions like no other, as the exam approached, the preparations got even hotter and I had to join them so that I'll not miss out.
The examination date finally arrived and I didn't even go online at all so as to be focused on the examination I wanted to write, I got to school as early as ever and already met people in groups solving questions even more desperately as ever, I had to mix up with them and join in solving questions, we solved all the questions as soon as possible and we're even asking for more and for a second, another thought came to my mind and was like "what of that was the exam question?". I asked but no body answered me as they were all punching their calculators, innocent me was thinking they were solving but they were actually smuggling the solved answers in and at that point I knew I had gotten involved again, I couldn't help it because it was already in my memory and I took it as fate, but as we got into the exam room and the questions were shared, the questions were totally different and the questions that came out were also to my favour, I was so happy as I kept solving the questions with ease.
The examination finished and people started complaining and cursing the man that gave them the wrong dubs. When the result was released, I got 8A1's and one B3 in mathematics and I graduated the best student of the year while the others that depended on the dubs had to rewrite the examination for the third time. It was at that point that I knew that **EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE IS A TRAP TO DELAY...**
I am starting my exams tomorrow and I want y'all to wish me success in my coming exams, it's French I'm writing tomorrow but that's just the beginning and so I might not be writing as often as ever for the examination period but I want y'all to remember that I have you in heart and in no time, I'd be back with my enriching articles👌
Read and enjoy 🙂❤️
A little 'bout myself
I am James as my username indicates, I'm very terrible at introducing myself but I think I have to do so as I am a new born into this great family of writers. Sponsors block is empty for now but I'm sure I'd get that filled up with my promising contents in no time.
James was born into the family of the Williams, he is the first child of their family among three children of his mother, all of them are male children which makes them distinct, I guess. He is 23 years old and his immediate younger brother is just three years younger than him so they are so close compared to the third which is the last born that has a gap nine years between the first and the last child. This distant doesn't hinder them from playing tough, they are all boys so what more can you expect. When we were much younger, we used to play football together even though we were not up to a team, we still used to manage to play the game no matter what but we sometimes go to our neighbors to play with them also even though that Idea wasn't palatable with my Dad and we've ran into trouble a lot of times with him on that issue.
I can remember vividly a day when I took my brothers along with me to the field to play football, we were tired of playing at home and just within ourselves so we thought it was a good idea to mix with other children and play better football, we locked the gate and went out of the house after our parents went for a meeting they use to attend every Saturday, they were meant to come back by 7pm on that day but it was different that day, they came back much earlier, and I was in trouble, not as if I was the only one that went to play ball but because I was the first born and I was the ring leader, "so-called". We were punished dearly for it but my piece of the punishment was the most and I regretted playing football that evening.
This didn't spoil out the relationship with my parents as all of us have a very strong bond between us and my parents, even after we've all left the house and all in universities, our last born now feels kind of lonely as we have all left him at home....
I am very funny and I also have a high sense of humor, so no matter how funny you are, I can flow with you but I am also a person of the sense that "first impression matters". I am so picky too especially when it comes to food, I don't eat boiled egg, boiled chicken, they have to be fried, I don't also take Egusi soup too but that's actually an allergy because I actually react to it anytime I take it, my stomach upset is always on another level... No matter how enticing it looks, I can only wish to taste it but I dare not...
Lastly about me that you need to know, as we keep making progress on the platform, you'll get to know me better.... I am a man of standards, my friends and I don't have issues when we relate because they know about my standards, they do not cross my path, no just because I have standards but because I also get angry easily but the good thing about it is that I have a very good control over my emotions so I think we're good once we don't cross each other's path😇😉.
We'd get to know each other better in my subsequent articles.
Read and enjoy 🤗❤️
