Noisy Neighbours Another illness, similar culprit, Plasmodium (+++). It seems to have fallen so in love with me and finds it hard to let go. The vector, malaria, are not just neighbours but also roommates. They have taken over the nights. "People who say that small things don't bother them have never slept in a room with mosquitoes" As I type this article, one is resting on my phone screen - probably a spy, here to check what I am saying about them. I just have to kill it,…
The Patronage Week 6: community has chosen Another week in the last month of the year has passed, with mourning weekend to finish it off for me. I had to travel to my hometown for the burial of my uncle. There was quite lot of mourning and consoling going round. And I did more of the latter. In the midst of this I had real quality time with some relatives and old friends I have not seen for years. Good to be back home, though I didn't get to spend as many days as I would…

Best friend Friendship is a whole new world entirely, it is built on a pillar of trust, care, and respect. It is one that people hope would last forever but most times are cut short due to certain differences, shortcomings, and sudden disruption. Other times, it is caused by the distance between friends. But in all friendships come in variations and differ in several ways. I most times classify my friends into best friends and normal friends. Of course, not everyone falls…

Good deed is worthwhile Always be good to your shadow. "Doing good to others is not a duty". If you do good today, you don't know what you have gained, you will be happy with yourself and you would keep smiling whenever you remember the good you have done to someone. Many people don't want to be good to others because of different reasons; many people have been hurt, many have been betrayed, many were not appreciated, many have been forgotten because of the good deeds they…

Patronage Week 7: Community has decided This weekend was better than the previous weekend, stress free with much fun to go with. Though Sunday night ended in disappointment as my favourite football club, Arsenal, continued their disastrous start to the 2020/21 Premier league campaign, losing 0 - 1 to a bottom placed Burnley. This defeat makes it a consecutive four home game lost for the gunners. My worst season as an Arsenal fan. Well, this post is not about football, but…

My Favorite Disappointment About two weeks ago, I was with a group of friends at a viewing center watching the Tottenham Vs Arsenal match and at halftime, Tottenham was leading Arsenal by two goals scored apiece by Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. At halftime, we were discussing the team's awkward performance and some possible changes that could lead to an improved performance from the boys in the second half. Then, out of the blue, a guy asked a question that I’m still…

Volume up Take away the chants, the cheers, and the boos, and then goals lacking the celebratory roar from the tens of thousands of fans in the stadium is like a key aspect of the emotional experience has been taken away. My team, Arsenal, is currently playing a match away to Everton. I went to a viewing centre to watch the match on TV.

Ekiti - The role of the family in restoring its values Ekiti State, Nigeria, the land of honour, the fountain of knowledge. I have always thought these two slogans connote different meanings until I realized that; they only differ in words but not in meaning. The Yorubas say "*Odò tí ó bá gbàgbé orísun rè yóò gbe*" i.e a river that forgets its fountain will dry off, this explains the potency of a fountain, a fountain can't be done without, an inevitable thing is an honorary…

Culture If we intend to build a culture of being more, What is the definition of culture? When I mention the word culture I am defining it as shared values.

What kind of culture do you want to build and be part of? Let's take a look at culture as it applies at work as well as at home. Work Culture Consider this hypothetical work…
The Arab Spring - brief overview On the 17th of December 2020, it was 10 years since the outburst of the Arab Spring, a revolution that toppled regimes and dictators. Many revolts sparked in some of the Arab countries and now, after 10 years, we could say that the region has been changed. But not all of them have achieved their goal. Some were violently suppressed by leaders. Below, I will present some key events of the Arab Spring. The Tunisian beginning It is well known…

The income generated from tips was minimal and the views were countable on a hand. Than … Rusty was added. This amazing but hard to understand bot changed the course of…

SMART technics for goal setting We all need to have a specific goal to be successful in life. This is sad but true that according to the results of research, very few of us have set our goals. We wrote the paragraph '*Aim in life*' many times in our childhood. We also wrote about our dream of becoming a doctor or an engineer. But day by day our dreams have changed. Because we did not set our goals then. Today we learn some S.M.A.R.T techniques for goal setting. What is SMART…

Pre-forgiveness The first character development word you need to examine for yourself is the word Pre-forgiveness (the second, third, and another words will be your choice) I have been fortunate enough to have had a boss who has been a tremendous mentor for me—Chuck Farnworth. I still remember my first day on the job in his department. Like all of the other positions I have ever had, he went through the typical logistics for the first day on the job - what to do, what not to…
Make some noise for Bitcoin Cash I remember my Primary and Secondary school days when during some free periods the class will be so the noise that a teacher will be forced to enter the class. After asking the class to keep quiet, he or she would instruct the class captain or rep to write the names of noisemakers. The list will be presented to the teacher later, and those on the list will either be flogged or punished depending on the teacher and his or her mood for the day.…

The excitement we have missed We have hobbies or activities that we indulge in which we are always excited about. These activities always make us happy, excited, thrilled and are always fun when we indulge. Imagine such hobbies or activities we did enjoy becoming a constant disappointment.

Read and just read! At the time of the aggression in my country, I spent the nights with fear. The children slept in the room and I put the beds in a dead corner. The windows were covered with tape due to detonations. I treated my fear by reading. I only read comics and nothing more. That was my anti-stress while the planes were passing through the sky at night. It's time for a pandemic. I don't read comics, I go to the library to get books. That's how I found a writer from…
