Naughty Professor Good morning all and happy new month. May we all have a reason to celebrate this new month. Looking at the dip on BCH, it feels like our walls are crumbling like a pack of cards but that in itself is a reason to be hopeful that things will not be the same. When you see or hear about a professor, what first comes to mind is that a brilliant person is birthed or around. This was the case with my little friend called professor. Abdul is a seven years old smart…
Why I May Never Invest In SmartBch Project I do not consider people who spend their hard-earned money investing in one business project or the other but I have taken my time to consider which to be involved in. One principle that I had for me is that whatever I am not ready to lose, I am not ready to invest. Since I joined the read.cash platform, I have read countless posts from many other users of different SmartBch contracts. To say the least, they are mouth-watering…
Bridget Bridget works with a delivery firm. She was very dutiful and diligent. Her manager was very kind to her. Several clients love the way she attends to them. After work every evening, Bridget attends an evening class out of the desire to earn a degree in business administration. At the end of one business year, which is held every December, Bridget, like every other employee, attended the staff dinner party where bonuses and promotion letters were distributed to all…
A Closer Walk With Nature Recently, I encountered another mind-blogging experience in nature. I just relocated from a supposed urban community to a developing community. Now everything seems strange but enticing. On the first night in this new environment, the freshness of the air does not warrant the use of a fan or air conditioner. It was my first experience sleeping with a natural breeze and I can tell that it is quite soothing. Waking up the next morning, I met a foggy…
Across The Borders The bleating of a sheep woke Ade up from the long sleep. He had been kidnapped on his way back from school. Like every other day after school, the boys of Hallmark College had always queued up at the bus stop waiting for a cab, usually Danfo that would convey a full load of students who are going the same way. After school, Ade and his friend Bolu had left the school. While Bolu had opted to see his mother at her workplace so that they could return home…
Ward Off The Cold Good morning Readers. This morning, the stormy rain came down again. It first delayed me from.going to work but still, thanks to nature for the downpour, at least farmers now have reasons to rejoice. A year without adequate rainfall spells doom for everyone. At first, after taking my bath and dressing up, I jumped out of the house to catch up with the staff bus so that I wouldn't get stranded. It was at that point that I got trapped in the rain. The rain…
Ravings And Cravings Good morning Readers. It's another Saturday and as usual, it should be for parties. Maybe weddings or some sort of other occasion. Wedding receptions are the best to attend on a normal Saturday. As a wedding guest, people don't usually attend the church proceedings, they only want to catch the fun. So, they'd wait till the solemnization is over before they step to the wedding reception hall. Today, I have two events to attend and that would be after the…
Idolizing My Idol Eavesdropping is not my thing but that night, while walking through the corridors, her prayers with the sound of cry emanated from her room. She was crying in prayers for us all, her children. My heart caught a cold at that instance, the love she has for us made me buoyant with confidence that there is someone who cares for me, for us. The song, lullaby if you like to refer to it that way….. Who sat and washed my infant head, when sleeping on my cradle…
A Cultural View of The Igbo People As a Nigerian, I am aware that there are well over 230 ethnic groups and over 200 tribes in Nigeria. You can say that is an heterogenous society. Nonetheless, Nigeria is super blessed with people, kingdoms, villages towns, settlements and clans. All these coined together in some areas to form a tribe. A tribe could be described as a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic,…
Constancy of Purpose Good evening people. Yesterday was a good day with the heavy storm resurfacing all over Lagos, that's the new climatic condition we have been experiencing lately, hoping that today would be a better day, despite already having a thick cloud, a symptom that it may get stormy with a heavy downpour. Today, I read a headline from a popular national newspaper about how a young man who loved laying his hands and trying out the components of an electronic…
Counting The Cost of Parenthood As we gather here everyday to see what the world has got for the day, to hear what prevails in nations of the world, let's not be carried away by the shadows of the troubles that encompasses all around us. Wipe the tears of the weak around you. That's what the world needs to be healed of many pains that we feel here. It is fine to feel unsafe in the world and to be afraid of strangers but we should never be too scared of lending a helping…
Art Adds Sauce To Life This is a busy day that tied my hands to my desk. I felt like coming around to even see how the market was fairing but time will not permit me. The task that took my attention away in no other than the Art assessment of my students. The Basic nine students, fifty-five of them would be sitting for the state terminal examination in June and as part of the assessment, they have to carry out a project work in different subjects. Today, it is Creative and…
Teenage Odyssey Life was a mess already, being a Nigerian. There were too many rules, no boyfriends, no partying and worst of all no independence. Shola remembered movies like The High school Musical, Hannah Montanna and Riverdale where young lads and ladies lived to the uppermost of their freedom. Her friend, Remo, was a very lucky child. Her parents were not on her neck and she was allowed to do as she pleases. Shola hissed aloud when she also pointed out in her head that…
Too Much Noise About The Bearish Market To start with,we need to know the meaning of a bearish market. There are two major markets in a trading season and these two markets come into play with a widely known feature. The markets are known as Bearish and Bullish markets. For today, we shall take a cursory look at what a bearish market is. Bearish Market Defined As an amateur in crypto, I find some of these terms rather too konk to comprehend. If you are my kind, then follow…
Social Culture of The Yoruba People Nigeria, a nation in the coastal part of western Africa is a great nation of many ethnic groups. Research shows that there are over two hundred and fifty ethnic groups in Nigeria. Three of these ethnic groups are referred to as major and they are Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. The term **WAZOBIA** is coined from the from the interpretation of **COME**(an English word) in these languages. So **WA** means come in Yoruba language, **ZO** means come…
Who is Legally Responsible To Initiate Sex in Marriage? Sexuality Education Good morning folks. I met some guys discussing in the common room at my workplace during the lunch break hour about who has the right to initiate sex in a relationship or marriage. Listening to them with one ear how they bisected their thoughts made me decide to take the matter here on my blog. A relationship or marriage takes two people who have agreed to be together, to share and to have and love.…
Sister Bees. When Family Connects. I visited my friend one holiday in the early 90s. His father was a farmer and he specialised in the farming of honey via the beehive. My friend, Kingsley was that kind of friend who would always check up on me at least once every weekend. Dad noticed how kind he was. He would come greet my parents modestly before asking about me. You know, it was a good time to share our thoughts and after some time, he would ask to leave then I would…
Are Our Grandparents Happier Than We Are? As an African that was opportune to see his grandparents and to see how they lived their lives, I have come to ask myself if they were happier than we are? Good enough, enough indices can be used to say that we live a better life. You too would probably do the same thing but let's come to the fact. The difference in the experience when compared to our grandparents, you'd see that there is a lot of improvement in the living standard…
Life Is Simple My mother told me a story of a woman who always troubles herself each time she doesn't get what she wished for. One day, she was going to prepare breakfast for the family. She wanted the food to be spicy because her sister-in-law came visiting. As she prepared the recipe, she found that she needed more sardines to add to what she already had but it was cloudy outside. The young lady risked it down the grocery store down the street. While she was there, it…
Children of Shepherds Love was an abomination. No one ever mentioned it in the Shola Family. The parents had made sure that all their children had passed out from school without a boyfriend or girlfriend to show for it. The Sholas were a family of great relevance. Mr Shola was the general overseer of a fast rising pentecostal church, The Archangel and his wife, Mrs Shola ran a christian organisation for girls. Now their last daughter, Deborah, seemed to be going far away…
Bro. Amos [1] It has been seven months since Bro Amos left Abeokuta, no one has heard anything about him, not even his close friend Brother Eric. The church tried all her best to locate him but all effort was in vain. To be candid, seven months after the rape issue, I am still trying to get over it. The emotional trauma is just too much for me to bear. The video of the rape keeps playing in my memory daily. Even the society stigmatized me just because I was raped. Some of my…
Bro. Amos [2] Good morning folks to this series. And a big thank you to everyone who contributed to the 1st episode of this series @Khaleesii, @Mhizutty, @Sequioa, @ Bisolammy. You can read the 1st episode here👉 Bro Amos :Episode [1] One https://read.cash/@Pearlkel/bro-amos-1-ec7237e2 I cried when I heard that Bro Fire’s marriage collapsed after two weeks. Brother Fire said that the sister is very dirty, lazy and cannot cook. While the wife accused Bro Fire of demanding too…
Bro. Amos [3] I was happy for what I had just achieved for God. The Holy Spirit helped me to minister to the two of them. For minutes both of them were on their knees weeping for their lives. Adunni in particular wept all day. She came back later in the day to open up a secret to me, she told me she belongs to a secret society whose members are only women. She continued by saying that they specialize in ruining marriages and most especially men through sex. And unknowing to…

Bro. Amos [5] ~ The Escape & Judgement The criminals came into the bus and robbed everyone in the bus excluding me. Eight vehicles were robbed in total and twenty persons lost their lives in the attack. The false prophet and the woman who said religion is a scam was also killed in the attack. Some people were making jest of the prophet but inside of me I was weeping for him because he died without knowing Jesus. I began to ask myself where will this self-acclaimed prophet…
Bro. Amos [6] ~ Children's Day Celebration We took time to celebrate with the children today at the church. Every 27th May, 2022; the children across the globe are celebrated in some special kind of way, showing that they are recognised as part of the growing world. Draw your sword, the contest of opening the Bible quickly. The sixty-six books in the Bible can be memories, and the children did not disappoint. The WAZOBIA praise session was quite spirit filled. We danced our…
Destiny, The Driver When destiny met with destiny, he devised several means to solve his marital problems. As an average African man and commercial taxi driver, he felt that luck was not on his side. Destiny had been married to Onyinye for sixteen years. It wasn't like she has not borne a child for him. Together they have had six daughters. Destiny's pain is that they haven't been able to bear a son. In the Igbo culture, a male child holds more relevance to the female child.…
