Dinner Date
**Dinner Date**
Dinner date has been a common kind of date that has always given room to any category of individual to take part,it doesn't disturb work and it is always cool and fun. More than 90% of people that experience Dinner date request for more and also wish to experience more.
The atmosphere is always friendly, people will be back from work and forget work problems, the fun of being able to dress to kill and entice without people noticing your presence because it's already dark is a thing of comfort.
It is less costly, dinner dates are not expensive depending on location, some people prefer the beach most, especially people living close to the beach, to have a nice time and company with their loved ones. The breeze always brings good feelings and sweet memories.
My first date was a dinner date. I was in year two in university. There is this girl Nguemo. She has been the air I breathe. I rarely feel happy if I am unable to reach her. My uncle sent me a big sum of money to get some stuff for myself and I diverted it to Nguemo for the dinner date. Luckily for me I know what she likes, she loves to be at the beach late at night. I called her on a Wednesday to know about her movement and we agreed on going for a date on Thursday. I feel all over the world, I have made all arrangements from my attire to getting a friend's car and also money to have fun.
Throughout Thursday I have been smiling up and down, the joy is already jumping in me. Once it's past 5 I called her and meet in front of her hostel. She hugged me as we entered the car and we moved to the beach.
We drank, ate a lot of barbecue and we chatted for more than three hours. We shared bad and good experiences. I had my first kiss that day, I could not hold my feelings for her. I told her how I felt and she hugged and kissed me.
It was almost 11 pm at night before we reached my hostel that night and it was worth more than a memory.

Stop dating minors
STOP DATING CHILDREN!
A girl of 15, 16 and even 17 years old is still very much a child.
That she has big boobs and a robust shape does not change the fact that she's a child.
She acts, talks and walks maturely does not rule out the fact that she's a child and should be allowed to grow to a certain stage.
Whether she's the one that made her intentions known to you is not the matter now...she's still a child.
"She winks at me when she passes by..." is that one talk?
Being in the university is still not a green flag for you to start dating someone's CHILD.
These girls are still at a very delicate stage of their lives.
They have so many emotions springing up that they can't control many times.
If you can't help them grow or maybe support them one way or the other, just leave them and walk away.
You shouldn't go into a relationship with a small girl and tell her about marriage and having two boys and two girls. And she sef is saying "We would name them Tracy and Chelsea." 🤧
You're stirring up waters that she's too lame to dive into.
You're already planning forever with someone who is yet to discover herself.
Allow them to grow.
If you're such a good guy, buy them sanitary pads, I heard that stuff is costly then get them that.
You can book them down in your head. Hopefully when they grow you shoot your shot.
If she tells you she loves you and can't do without you, make her know that there's time for everything. Help her tame her emotions or lead her to someone who can.
Stop dating children.
I don't like the nonsense I am seeing these days. I don't even want to talk about those that have s.*.x with them.
I rest my case🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️
Very sorry if my words are harsh but the truth must be told .

Hardship of Life
**Hardship Of Life**
Since we are given a chance to live.
To exist in life full of hardship.
We could not actually know our destination.
Just because destiny is hidden.
We keep moving and hoping for a fortunate future.
We move with our thoughts to find a solution to the will of life.
We think deeply when in a state of perplexity for us not to go astray.
Yes,we are yet too deep in our hands in our pockets to talk less of bringing out birds.
But we stay positive for better days ahead of us.
We believed the young shall grow to exercise their copious wonder.
We hope the seed germinated to meet the needs of men.
Likewise we prepare ourselves for challenges that may intend to delay us.
Because we have to make a great impact.
Although we strive in pain.
But yet we never allow it to overcome us because we believe gain will be ours at last.
We would never stop until we achieved the sweetness of life.
Success comes with hardship.
Yes we know but we would never get tired until our dream comes true.
Now,we are brave and courageous enough.
To overcome the hardship of life.
And we pray for his support.
For our wonders not to be buried in life.

Bewaji The Great Hunter
I will use this medium to write a short of a hunter who is unable to find his way back home from the forbidden forest just like an island lost in a fog. The brave Hunter disappeared into thin air.
**Bewaji the Great Hunter**
Koko village is a notable village in West Africa. Bankole is the warlord of the village and has single handedly killed five lions and three elephants. He is respected for his kindness and braveness. He fought many battles and he conquered, with all the accolades he was unable to give birth to a child who will take over his power, position and be the coolness of his eye, he has made several sacrifices to appease the gods.
While he was returning from a war, he was able to meet with a sound herbalist who was taken as slave as war gain. The herbalist liked Bankole's behavior and his kindness to people so he decided to help him. During their struggle the herbalist gave a sound warning and he assured Bankole that he will get a child and a brave one. He told him to warn his child of two things. One is to avoid marrying more than two wives so that he will not be destroyed by too much affection from women. He was also told to warn him against going hunting alone no matter how small the forest may be, he should go in company so that he will not be deceived and die a miserable death.
After they used the herb the herbalist prescribed and they offered the sacrifice accordingly, Bamkole's wife pulled to bed and gave birth to a bouncing baby boy as the herbalist earlier stated. The town rejoice with bankole's family and the king donated landed property to the warlord and enough slaves for daily activities.
Bankole was very happy at the announcement of his newly born baby boy, he decided to elevate the herbalist from a slave to a chief priest to compensate him for his successful effort on his long time problem.
Bankole named him Bewaji, a common name given to girl children because the boy looks pretty like a girl, at first sight he looks exactly like a girl because of the extra beauty Almighty God gave him.
Bankole trained Bewaji on the norms and manner required of him to be a better person, he also trained him on how to consult the oracle, he trained him on how to shoot and hunting processes.
Bewaji happens to be a fast learner and he acquires the basic knowledge of hunting in a few years compared to his age mate. He will tell his father to relax at home while he goes hunting with the other hunters.
One faithful day, Bewaji and two other hunters went on hunting and they always spread out so that they would kill many animals. The other two were attacked by a tiger and they were used as prey, after some minutes Bewaji discovered that he had not received any signal from the other two, he blew his whistle which resulted in no response. Immediately he searched for them and found them dead, he chanted incantations and he was able to conquer the tiger. He brought the tiger to the village, everyone was amazed and they concluded that he took after his Father.
Bankole returned to the world beyond and put tears on the occupants of Koko village, the king mourned him and cremated him in the middle of the village, he also named the big market in the village in his name.
Bewaji was decorated with his late father's title, he decided to stop hunting to avoid the bad revelation to prevail. He focuses mainly on war. He has made Koko village stronger than the way his father left the village, Koko village is a no go area in terms of war for the neighbouring village, some villages seek their help to win the battle.
After a successful war which was spearheaded by Bewaji the king of Adeoti village decided to give her beautiful daughter to Bewaji, at the sight of the king's daughter Bewaji fell in love and promised to do everything in his capacity to marry the king's daughter.
According to the tradition of Adeoti village, any foreigner that wants to marry their daughter must hunt on his own and deliver the meat to the bride's house. When Bewaji heard this, he wanted to resist at first but he called himself back and decided to go "after all I am well fortified, I am immortal" he said to himself and laughed.
On the hunting day, Bewaji made the necessary sacrifice. He entered the forest on his own. At first he killed five antelopes, he wasn't satisfied, he wanted to surprise them and also show them how powerful he is.
Suddenly the atmosphere changed, thunder struck continuously, he was able to understand the signal, he wanted to flee but was unable to move. The next thing he will see is that the ground opened and swallowed him in full. He lost his life because he ignored the warning.
Deep beneath the ground, the Titanic Hunter was lost to the afterworld.

The Joy of Every Teacher
**The joy of every teacher**
Happy New week to everyone.
Something has really motivated me to write on this topic " the joy of every teacher".
Success has different meanings to different people and professions. As a teacher you will be successful when you are able to impact knowledge to your students and they work towards it. When these two conditions are met then a teacher is successful. Although teachers are not treated the way they should be treated. They are like second parents, they motivate, teach and wish their students success.
I have once been a teacher and am out of service currently and I project on becoming a lecturer due to the passion I have for teaching.
During my years of service and experiences I have discovered the differences in learning and assimilation of students. I tried my best to revive some of them. One thing I always built with my students is friendship, I make them close to me, I share with them a little experience they can learn from. I have also been a counselor to them on career guidance.
A week ago I met one of the students I taught during her junior secondary School days, she rushed to me and hugged me, I could barely remember her face. With joy she shouted "Master, I am Zainab from immaculate secondary School, you taught us mathematics" . Immediately I recalled her, she has been one of my best students. We chatted and I sought to know about her status. She replied with a smile "master I am now a university student in year 2, I am studying nursing". After we departed, I continued smiling without any reason, it was then that I felt the joy every teacher feels when they see their students are growing.
Just two days ago, I met another one when I was about to board a public bus. He greeted "master good morning, this is umar." I never ask him many questions because his appearance is enough to give me joy. I only wave to him to show my concern. It's really a great joy to see one student progressing.

My greatest fear (Death)
Good day everyone, Happy weekend in advance.
Fear varies from one individual to another. Some are scared of poverty, some are scared of sickness, some are scared of death and some are scared of misfortune.
Anything that come with fear are always tragic, with reasonable evidence one will accept that fear is not characterised with joy or happiness.
The inevitable (Death)
The destroyer of joy.
The end of sweet life and great dreams.
The driver that will force everybody to their grave.
The stopper of success.
Agent of sorrow and sadness.
Death has taken the good ones and spare the bad ones.
Death have been described as the destroyer of great plans.
My Fear
My greatest fear is not being able to execute my plans, death is one major factor that can obstruct or deny the great course. "When there is life, there is hope"
If death is not inclusive there is no limitation to what man can achieve.
I love my parents and I want to stay longer and live with them, same thing is applicable to my friends too.
I lost a friend when I was in secondary School to the cold hand of death. I lost my uncle when I was highly in need of his help.
Death is inevitable, we will all die one day.

Sunday for Grandma ❤️
**Happy Sunday my colleague on read.cash, hope you all enjoyed your weekend?**
We give thanks to the creator of life and death, the creator of heaven and Earth, the one that has spared our lives to this moment, we thank him for his blessings over us and we pray for a fruitful week ahead of us.
Sundays are a rest day and also a church service day for Christians. As I remember my Grandma today, the best I can do is to write about her.
I am from a Muslim family and my Grandma was a Christian during her living days. She didn't make religion a barrier between her and us. She play her motherly role. She will advise us and shun all acts of indiscipline. She is a rich trader and this doesn't stop her from knotting all possible family ties. She is the best Grandma ever liveth.
**Sunday with Grandma**
Every Sunday is always honey filled and fun filled. Grandma will single handedly cook for the day, she will cook fried rice and jollof rice with chicken and chilled carbonated drinks for breakfast before going to church, she will allow us to watch a series of films and play games on the computer.
When she is coming from church, she does come with snacks to share with her grandchildren before she cooks lunch for us. Our lunch is not static; it depends on our consensus opinion. My younger brother and I don't eat dinner in grandma's house because my parents will come to pick us up before 5pm in the evening (17:00hrs).
Other children arrive at Grandma's house on Saturdays but my brother and I always get there early on Sundays. My father always takes us there after morning prayer, we will only take our bath, wash our teeth and change our clothes and we will move to Grandma's place.
`These memories keep Grandma alive inside me, I missed her a lot. It is now seven years since I have missed these treats. May gentle soul continue to rest in peace .🙏`
Thanks for your time 😊

Thursday is for throwback
Every Thursday I will try to bring some flash back to my past events. Today I will talk about an interdepartmental competition that I participated in during my undergraduate days.
Second semester of each academic session hosts a lot of activities in which sport is a core. My department was unable to qualify out of the group stage and from that moment we have promised to bring glory days to our department. In lieu of that we started our training two weeks before the competition. My department president provides everything needed for the training and matches for us. Our staff adviser is ready to give it all in the financial aspect.
In the previous competition we played the role we felt like playing but it later changed, we played as per our performance in training. The training was lively and you will surely see the thirst for success in our actions.
For the first week of competition we have twelve players and no Goalkeeper, we searched from 100 level students to 300 level students we could not get one. Luckily for us when God decided to answer our prayer, a fresh student in 100 level joined the training section as a goalie two days to the competition, that moment everybody smile and laugh and we all shouted "our headache is over"
We are fully prepared, we have exerted pressure on other departmental teams, they don't fear our individual performance but they are scared of the team spirit and determination.
We played three matches at group stage, we won two and drew one and topped the group. The last match that we played was against the defending champion, our performance in the group stage raised fear among other departments, they don't wish to face us. We played extensively well and we were able to reach the final.
We are aware that playing in the final is like fighting a battle, it will be do or die.
On the final match day, we have 75% of the spectators in our support, our opponent has been dominating for the past four years and students from other departments wish us success. Throughout first half it was goalless and both team played well. At the beginning of second half of the final match, they score and we are 1-0 down, luckily for us we come back and score a brace, it was after our second goal that we can jubilate while we are jubilating the referee blow to signal for the other team to play on, it was then that we realise the referee was against us. They later equalise and we lose at the penalty play off with 5-3 against us in penalty. We are sad because it will be difficult for us to have the chance to make it to that level again.

Insecurity in Nigeria
Is like the world is going to an end like prophets say. People are no more safe again, tuning your radio or TV will not bring any news of joy rather saddened news related to loss of lives and damage. People no longer fear God, people no longer care for their neighbors, people are after their self interest and can get involved in any dubious act to gain riches and fame. People have been using body part as sacrifice, money ritual and other spiritual self gain.
Nigeria is going through a lot of insecurity and it has put pressure on citizens. Kidnapping has become a common term in the news, mass slaughtering is happening everywhere, religious bigotry has taken the atmosphere.
The recent attack on Owo Catholic Church in Ondo State on 5th of June this year on Sunday during a Sunday service, was a brutal attack. A lot of people died and few were injured while some were in coma. This attack has sparked a lot of speculation. Some people believe Northerners are responsible for the attack while some believe it maybe Some religious sect are behind the attack because of the uproar of blasphemy that also led to the death of one Deborah in Sokoto state.
A situation like the above happened on the same date last year at Gbongan in Oyo State that was spearheaded by Fulani herdsmen on farm owners and residents.
Kidnapping for rituals and ransom is happening everyday. Reports of missing people have filled police stations, media houses and social media pages. We can't continue like this……
Nigeria is no more safe!
Save your family with everything in your capacity!!

Pawpaw and it's benefits
papaya and its benefits
Healthy Eating
Healthy eating involves eating nutritional foods. We can sum it up by eating a balanced diet.
Water, Vegetables, legumes/beans, fruits, grain foods, lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds, milk and other healthy foods provide the foundation of a balanced diet.
If we look at what we serve on their plates in today's world, many of the listed foods are missing, because we have grown special interest in Burgers, Shawarma and other junk food. As a result of our laziness and nonchalant attitude to nutritional consumption.
Health is wealth, a healthy diet is necessary for good health. Fruits for instance are of varieties, each with its own benefit. One of them is papaya popularly known as pawpaw.
Papaya and it's benefits
Aid digestion: papaya contains an enzyme called papin, which can aid digestion of protein.
Excellent immunity booster: papaya is high in vitamin C, containing more than 200 percent of the daily recommended amount, and is thus one of the best edible for boosting the immune system's ability to fight disease and infection. Vitamin A,B and K are Abundant in Papaya.
Anticancer properties: papaya contains the antioxidant lycopene, which helps to lower the risk of cancer.
Skin care: for those who want to take extra care of their skin, Papaya is a good option because it reduces inflammation, moisturizes the skin, reduces wrinkles, controls acne breakouts, treat eczema and psoriasis, lower dark circles beneath the eye, clears pigmentation and many more skin treatment.
The fruit has the potential to stimulate hair growth. It increases hair development and prevents baldness.
It's advisable to have a fruits and vegetables garden in our houses to give us the opportunity to eat fresh fruits and vegetables at our liesure. The function of eating fresh fruit and vegetables are enormous.
