'The bull run' Tales of a Nigerian commuter In crypto parlance a bull run is a win win for everyone. During this period the traffic lights in crypto town are predominantly pleasantly green giving the the various cryptos a smooth , traffic free ride across town to their various 'high' rise parking lots. Lest I digress too much, our bull run in this article refers to an actual bull on the run where a bull breaks loose and disrupts activities in town. And so it happened that…

'The Revenue Collectors' Tales of a Nigerian commuter They were once popularly known as "***agberos***" due to their brutish and uncivilised approach to revenue collection from those who the government of the State deemed as due for such payments. Their targets were or should I say are commercial bus drivers, women selling in the markets and street hawkers of drinks as well as portable drinking water popularly referred to as "***pure water***". The 'abokis' selling fruits…

You may as well have participated in this game at one time or the other without knowing it, I know I certainly have. The game cuts across all ages, races, tribe,…

It's alright to feel out of place sometimes Human nature requires that we form some sort of bond or relate with others in the environment or the society where we find ourselves. It is one of the basic human instincts to want to belong somewhere or feel some sense of belonging. The process provides some warmth or reassurance to the individual that he or she is not alone. Thus oftentimes individuals tend to flow or move with the trend or prevailing beliefs or culture in the…

Learn to filter through 'the noise' Humans are very complex creatures. Aside the complex physiological make up. The emotional component of humans is also a sight to behold. Indeed it is one to marvel at. From irrational behaviour to mood swings, the many colours of human emotions as well as behaviour can be quite confounding. Some persons may display hatred for an individual or even attempt to cause harm via their speech or actions for no apparent reason. The mix of the…

There's no 'easy hack' to success without hardwork Sometime ago on some social media platforms I came across some quotes and hashtags with inscriptions like: It's not about working hard but working smart Or Don't work hard, work smart These quotes have gained wide acceptance or spread because of certain personalities that they have been attributed to online. These individuals were once referred to as social media personalities or celebrities but this nomenclature has been…

Do you want to know one of the most dangerous people on the planet? In my opinion two categories of people fit this description well. 1. A journalist who is ignorant of the facts of a matter but goes ahead to write about it as though he is presenting information based on evidence or deliberately spreads misinformation. 2. A celebrity or social media influencer who spreads posts or information without attempting any form of verification and REFUSES to make a rejoinder when…

This system has been and remains part of the cultural practices or heritage of some tribes across the globe. This system is practised in countries…

Different strokes for different folks There are several versions of motivational videos about if the glass empty or half full. According to the commentaries in these videos, the option one chooses i.e. half empty or half full gives an indication as to if one is an optimist or pessimist. These choice of option adopted is a function of the perspective from which one chooses to view the quantity of water contained in the glass. There's a third option which another speaker…

The pickpocket 'Tales of a Nigerian commuter' I was reminded by the scenes I witnessed today of a threat to those who board public vehicles as their means of daily commute. The threat is not a new one but has simply changed its targets. Previously the targets or victims used to be people walking in crowded public spaces but apparently the public buses or vehicles are now a new front for this criminal operation. The threat in question is that of pick pockets. These criminals…
