No, Not A Seance **Have You Ever Said Bloody Mary In Front Of A Mirror?** The answer to this is and can only ever be a No. I grew up in a house where my mother and father are both disciplinarians. They were very particular in training us in the right way to go. We were never allowed to use swear words or insult at anybody even when the occasion called for it, or we have been verbally attacked. Committing a crime such as using such swear words will get you nothing but a…

Which Is Most Painful And Hurtful To You?? **Broke-shamed** This one is actually very common and the most painful part of it is that it's done a lot by friends. This a situation whereby someone who may or may not be able to afford a certain thing mock your inability to acquire it. It's something that can be done directly or indirectly. A rival will most likely do it directly without hiding the intent to hurt or shame you, but friends will do it in the name of fun, cruise or…
Infinite Point In A Relationship In today's world, where almost everything is a deep fake, it's hard to find relationships that are built on true foundational block of trust, loyalty and love. Of course, with the advancement in technology and standard of living, not to mention the fast pace of today's living, it's becoming easier to make 'friends' in theory. That's a talk for another day. But to find true friends who are out to see you grow and will stuck their necks out for…
"Bad Parent" In today's world, the place of what people term 'proper parenting' can not be overemphasized, but what exactly is proper parenting? The other day, I was walking along the kerb by the side of the road, and there was this woman carrying a baby on her back with two other kids walking ahead of her. Note that this was a busy road and the children were been children; carefree and amazed at everything they see. I couldn't help but wonder what she's thinking letting…
The Knowledge Of Me I actually got this from someone's article and can't quite remember whom. I'm sorry for not mentioning you though. I like how the questions can of make you reflect a bit about yourself and actually has the potential of making you know yourself better. So here goes nothing. **Black or Blue Pen** Well, I used to be a blue pen kind of guy because it was really the default for students growing up. Black pen was something of a second choice when blue ain't…
Knowledge Of Me Part Two **Mythical Creature** If I were to be a mythical creature, I would go for something that's quite powerful and at the same time emotionally vulnerable and kind. Something that's at the apex of the food chain and highly intelligent, and maybe with a bit of mystic and magical powers. What could that be? Yea, you guessed it; a dragon, I'll be a dragon. The sheer size of that beast alone and it's powerful claws makes it an apex predator, not to mention…
Knowledge Of Me Part Three **Restless Sleeping** I don't know at want point in my life I made that switch, but as of today, I'm an night worker. I tend to fight back sleep even when it comes until I've crossed a certain time. Before I developed whatever this is, I used to sleep as early as 8:00PM, but nowadays, no matter how tired I am or even if I'm sick, I won't sleep until it's at least past 12:00 midnight, and there are days I don't even sleep at all, say the past two…

The Nigeria I Missed If I could travel back in time to any era, I would travel back to the 1970s/1980s. This time in my country's history can be termed the golden era. When I take a good look at my country today, it almost brings tears to my eyes that we aren't more developed than most of Europe, as we should be. Nigeria is an extremely blessed country. The blessings abound underneath the soil, in the air, in the clouds and everywhere. Nigeria is one of the biggest crude oil…
Do You Still Want To Tweet?? The sale of twitter to Elon Musk is the news trending these days. I can't quite tell if it's the fact that twitter was sold for just $44billion or the fact that Musk is singlehandedly forking that money out or what this mean that's causing the buzz. Since the purchase, there's been all sort of rumours as to what he plans to do with it. Some of these rumours are drawn from his own tweets before now as well as his utterances along the way. The…

This couldn't be farther from the truth. The rich, unlike the…
Do You Still Want To Tweet?? Part Three Earlier today, I was just going through the major news websites trying to keep up with the happenings around the world when I came across the news that Elon Musk has sold $8.6b worth of Tesla shares. The prevailing argument, is that all those money are going towards financing the acquisition of Twitter. It's important that I mention here that Elon Musk like most western billionaires hardly have any of his wealth in cash. Most of his…
The Plan And The Execution: Be Flexible It is said that man plans but God executes. We have all heard stories of how people abroad send money home to relatives to help them build houses to a certain specification, only to return to meet something different entirely. That's a typical example of the way my day went. **The Plan** Why going to bed yesterday, I had high hopes for today. I had planned spend the entire with the girl I love, OK maybe not the whole day, but most of…
