Of Nook, Crannies And Sickness They say the hands of Justice is ever long, can and will always catch up with those whom have done wrong. I'm beginning to really question this assertion. In today's world, the hand of justice is formally directed by the judiciary and this has made the business of manipulating and misleading it a booming enterprise. If justice were to be a hand, I've got to say, we will have had to stop doing anything right until it learns how to close up it…

'The One' In the Nigeria setting and the world at large even, there are certain decisions that are expected of humans at certain ages or time in their lives. One of those decisions include finding a life partner. In an average develop society, there's really no rule to this, as it is a personal choice, that will natural not be the same for any two people, but in a developing society like Nigeria and India, the situation is not as straightforward as one would expect or want.…

The Blessings Of Introversion If you were asked to describe an introvert, what would you say? Let me guess. Introverts are shy, antisocial, insecure people with low self esteem, hence their constant desire for isolation. Hmm Whether you believe it or not, that's wickedly stereotypical and enormously wrong! It's actually funny how people easily just class introverts and expect only some certain behavioral traits from them without bothering to know them. Contrary to popular…

Rough Ride It no secret how my last two weeks of my industrial training has gone if you've been following my articles, it's been one problem or another evert single day, but I never envisaged how the week ended, it was a real shock. Let me give you the gist. On Thursday, as usual we were ready as early as 5:00AM and waited for the driver to come pick us up, but he didn't show. By 7:00AM that morning, we had to csll our supervisor that we couldn't make it as a result of the…

The Sin Of Being African 1 ***We are all equal, but some are more equal than others.*** There's hardly a war on earth that has been fought on a good premise. Times without numbers we have seen men, fathers, sons, brothers, friends and colleagues armed and sent off with the mission to go and kill other men whom are dispatched for that same exact purpose and why? For the greed, ego and gains of a few; the wealthy or/and political elite. This has been the case and is still the…

The Sin Of Being African 2 If you haven't read the part one of this article, follow the link below https://read.cash/@Talon/the-sin-of-being-african-1-64124e43 An indepth assessment of the media coverage of the war in Ukraine has revealed why this might be, as rightly asserted by Maher Mezahi. During the colonial era, racism was both the cause and consequences of itself and you would think after all this years, we would have become better enough to go past it; apparently…

My Personality Test I decided to write on this article after reading @Princessbusayo post earlier today. Although I've read it before @fantagira and @Jane posts before, but I just couldn't go around to writing the article. Well, here's mine. **When Travelling, I Always Need A?? Direction or Destination** Although the answer to this question varies rom time to time and the different circumstances when it's been asked or applied, it's mostly a **direction** I'm looking for.…

My Personality Test 2 This is the link to the first part of this article below https://read.cash/@Talon/my-personality-test-f4bea0a8 Let's dive right in. **My Door Is?? Wide Open or Usually Closed** As you would expect of an introvert, my door is always closed as I like my space and personal time to not be invaded. The door is really sort of my first defence against intrusion. I remember a time when I used to lock my door and ignore anybody that knocks as if I'm not in the…

Who's To Blame?? So, yesterday I was reading an articles on the Nairaland forum and one in particular got my attention. The article was about a certain woman whose nudes and sexual videos were uploaded online. The story goes thus. This woman has a husband and two kids. The husband would leave them and travel abroad in search for greener pasture, so he can afford a better life for them. But after some time, the rent of the apartment she and the kids were staying got expired…

Weekend Unwinding Hey friends, how're you doing? How's your weekend? Weekend shaping out to be good thus far? For me, it's been pretty undulating. Since the beginning of my IT in Lagos, I've been pretty disappointed with what I've come to know about the place, maybe my expectations were too high or unrealistic, I don't know, but what I do know is that I don't see the lure and glory most Lagos residents claim they enjoy in the state when they are away from home. So far, this…

Excuse=Failure Today was another wonderful Sunday in a month that's shaping up to be a good one for reasons that has nothing to do with worthwhile-ness of my industrial training; I've given up on that a while ago. You know, one of my favorite characters in this church is the pastor in charge of the parish, he's really something else. He's clearly one of those pastors who were literally taken off the streets by the kind works of someone's evangelism. He's got his own way of…

No Certainty Hello friends, hope you had a great weekend. I don't understand how quickly the weekend comes and go, it's almost like there's just one day in the weekend. Yesterday hardly felt like Monday for me, cos I was just at home doing nothing, but somehow i still felt extremely tired by the end of the day. Quite a number of things happened to me yesterday that I'd draw lessons from like I always do. So, I occasionally delve into sports betting for various reasons,…

Living Puppets I once had a conversation with a friend who said or told me that we are all pieces, no pawn is the right word in each other's chess boards. I think I should call what I and that friend had an argument cos we were at it for awhile because I held the opinion that saying we are all pawns of each other doesn't justify why anyone should make people their pawns. It's like saying someone stole from me so I should steal from others. Manipulating people is not a way to…

Imaginations I think this is one of the ingredient that makes the soup called life sweet. I can't imagine a world where my imagination button was turned off, I would be so jobless and bored to death that I might just consider ending life itself. The land of imaginations is where creativity is birthed from. I don't know if you agree with me, but great artists paint the picture using the power of their imagination before ever putting down anything in paper. The power or…

Forced Absence And The End Of A Journey Lately, the past three days to be precise, I've been absent from read.cash and I've been minimally active for even longer than that. This wasn't by choice of course, it was quite unavoidable. I've been writing about my industrial training experience since it started and I can tell you that it has been responsible for my inactivity and absence. I actually carried out my industrial training in two phases, and while I thought the first…

Double Standards Just like we have thieves, drug addicts and people who do a lot of things that they have no control over, we also have those who have double standard. The Oxford dictionary defines this word as "a rule or principle which is unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups". I really don't want to make excuses for those who are guilty of this act, but when people do things a lot, they don't know when it becomes their lifestyle and with a few…

Misconceptions (Held By Females) Just in case I haven't visited your article today, you should know that this was not by choice as I'm having power issues again. I've had to be spending all my day out just to be able to charge and remain active on read.cash. While charging today, something interesting happened. Due to the strike of university lecturers, my school is temporarily closed, and as a result, all the vendors and merchants who caters to the students have taken a…

So Not Worth It How often do you get home and reflect on your day, and you just wish you had never gone out of the bed that morning; like the say wasn't worth the trouble you had to pay for getting out of bed? Well, that's exactly how I feel right now, except for the small fact that I'm actually not home. That was a lie, there's nothing small about my not being home, because as a result of that I haven't had good or real food and the promise of a night's rest seem like a…

Of Money, Of Double Standard, Of Betrayal If you ask anybody to choose one thing that they want in Nigeria, the likely answer you'll get is money. As a matter of fact, we all want money and abundantly too. In a world where the competition for every resources is immense and quite frankly unbalanced, it's hard to ever think of taking a break from the hustle and struggle, unless you want to remain at the bottom rung of the ladder. In my parents' generation, the acquisition of…

Conflict And Cryptocurrency **Conflict** The conflict going on in Ukraine is hardly news to anyone these days. It's really so sad how quickly some politicians and power seeking manipulators who hide behind one idea or the other to get people to do their bidding, result to violence to get their voices heard and orders followed. At the end of the day, it's people who know nothing about it, who have no input in the decision making, that have to go out and die for the violence.…

When The Best Team Loses At some point, you just have to start thinking that maybe it's a curse, maybe someone somewhere is doing some occultic stuffs to keep you from progressing. This is not a thought I hold of myself or any other individual, but about the Nigeria national male football team nicknamed 'Super Eagles'. Nigeria as a country is known to be blessed with all sorts of resources. Some of the most known of these include Crude oil, gold, precious stones, limestone,…

Have You Ever (Part One) **Skipped A Class** Since my childhood days, I've always been one of the most intelligent student in any classroom i find myself and have always been treated as such. I've also always been a bookworm. When you combine these, you can easily make a guess what the answer to this one would be. Up until my university days, this would be a capital NO. It's not like I'm now less intelligent or I've become a bad boy, but the university system in Nigeria…
