Wealth Creation Is Not As Hard As You Think The idea of building up wealth is not child's play. One would need to roll up his sleeve to be able to do that. Wealth creation is one thing that everybody has heard but only few run with it. What people do is just to earn a living. Many factors could be responsible for this. However, I would take time to consider some things that may help individuals create wealth and put to work what they had left idle without knowing what they…
Mistaken Identity It was a huge offer. What Mr Alonso was promising to give, if, only if I did what he wanted me to do. My arms were tied to the handle of the chair, so escaping or refusing the offer was a 50/50 chance. I scrutinized the whole room and its contents. The five hefty men that had done the job of bundling me into their car and wrapping my mouth to prevent the outside world from hearing my high-pitched scream. It was really looking like an early morning nightmare…
Redesigning Nigeria's Currency: The Pain and Truth Recently, the federal republic of Nigeria's government has decided to redesign our denomination and there have been rants about it in many spheres. Economically speaking, there may be some vital reasons why the government decided to take that decision. Even though it is not a good idea that nations should change the design of their currency from time to time, Nigeria has come at such a time when the nation has fallen apart.…

Looking at the way the football clubs have fared in the season, one would easily predict who will win or lose but the result have been the reverse in the recently played matches.

Raina Must Go To School Watching father shout at mother because of me is one of the saddest things I have ever experienced in life. Despite all my father said, mother would always say at the top of her voice: "Raina must go to school! She's no different than the other kids!" I stared at my parents with teary eyes. Lately, they've been having different arguments and it really pains me that I am the cause of it all. Meet me, Raina Donald, the only child to Sarah and David…
To Speak-Up or Be Silent Is it rather fair to be silent when you need to speak up? That is what I heard a father of one of my friends tell him. A direct opposite of what we were told in school. My teachers would be like, speak up and never allow anyone to tell you to be silent for any reason whatsoever. Well, I have a different idea about this whole thing. It is already a known fact that the mouth is one of the greatest weapons of all time. With the mouth, words of the mouth…
Mesmerizing : Opening The Weekend With A Comedy So many years ago, when food was cheap and people could get as much food as they desire. Three friends decided to show who eats the best meals by the smell of their farts. Those days, it was believed that the more offensive the smell of your fart is, in interpretation, the better the meal you have eaten. The argument took week day until the three friends, ****Ekene, Maruf, and Agbo,**** decided to settle the scuffle in an open…
Who Runs The World? The power of a woman cannot be underestimated. Any man who tries to look down on a woman is doing so at his detriment. I have come to note that to make a woman be in favour of you, there is need to play to the gallery. Look at what it could be, listening to Whitney Houston's Old school song, *I'm saving all my love for you*. I assume Whitney Houston was my sidekick. And she begins to tell her friends That boy can't dress neither can cook There is one…
Rant About Everything The world has become so terrible. So terrible that the human race has lost its self-worth in the hands of a few oligarchies. Now, we have many abnormalities and we get better with them. One may begin to think that there is no visible difference between humans and wildlife. Take a look at the chaos between Ukraine and Russia. Is there any need for this tussle? Must everything be about competition? Competition has led us to many things that we ought not…
Overnight Abel woe up to an empty bed. Usually, he would wake before 6:00am with his wife of a ten years old marriage. So, he started to sing worship songs, hoping that his wife would join him in the process. At some point in the course of the worship session, something told him to stop and ask his wife to join. Reluctantly, he obeyed. Knocked at the bathroom door but no response came from there but the water was running silently. So, he pushed the door, to his amazement, it…
Endangered You worry too much. Life has to be taken with ease. The way you are going, you may not live to enjoy what you have laboured for. It is good to desire better outcomes in your undertakings but if they are not forthcoming, relax and enjoy the moment. Many things get in the way as to why people don't live their dreams. **Food On The Table** It is on record that a lot of people, especially breadwinners die before their time. The many thoughts of putting food on the…
Tears and Rain Juddie woke up to a long chat from Edward. It made her look insane. Each one of the supposed lines of the love letter pierced through her heart, causing her to experience some kind of ache that never had happened to her before. Edward had promised to come with his kindred to knock at their door, seeking her hand in marriage. In the last thirty-five years of her life, that has been her dream. With Edward in the picture, this dream was coming to reality. How…
It's Our World After All A look is deceitful, A closer gaze can paralyze, This much we looked, Through the thick-skinned metal, Hoping to see the other side of life, Little did we know that there is no other, Except for this one that we share, Move-in parallel like a herd, Grazing in an open field of corn, That farmland owned by the peasant, Whose heart is buried there, Fighting temptations to sell it off. A deep look at another man's yard, Open the doors to covetousness,…
Loved on Arrival I like to be like Tiger Woods, hitting the ball at the right side and ensuring it pot as planned. This had always been what I wanted to do, it wasn't like I didn't do it, my passion died almost at the hedge of victory. Every man has that instinct, one that makes them take a long look at what they want, stare at it in the face. Until she came to pick kits on the football pitch where other players and I were cooling off after a long March that entered extra…
Memoirs From Lockdown The year 2020 will always be in our memories. It was the year that the whole world was just down because of the outbreak of the coronavirus known as covid-19. The virus broke out of a laboratory somewhere in China called Wuhan in 2019 but the spread became enormous in 2020. That year, when all workplaces were locked up except for offices rendering essential services and employers had no funds to pay salaries, it became difficult to feed because finance…
Wildest Dreams ~ Poem [Eng, Esp & French] English I wanted to be princess, That one they say deserve one of those Disney princes Like Prince Charming, Flin and Edward With a golden crown on his head A magic sceptre in his I wish for that beautiful dress That would make me look more of a pink tigress Have the hair of Rapunzel That red luscious lips of Snow White And one of those dresses in Princess Cinderella's closet I wish for the life, The life of great men Bowing at my…
