Religion isn't conflict While I was away, religion is one of the things that was rampant and that I have also looked forward to writing on. Few weeks ago in Nigeria, there was a news about a christian girl who was stoned to death and her corpse set ablaze by her fellow students of the same department. What was her crime? They said she blasphemed the name of prophet Muhammad. According to news, it was said that Deborah, the girl in question had complained that her Course…
Happy new month Happy new month fam!💃🏻 yep! I'm glad to be back on this platform. The month of May was an hectic one for me. I battled with skin irritation and it took a whole lot to step out of my house each day with confidence, with my face looking like that of a leper. Honestly, it's was tough, using a lot of drugs recommmended by people who had gone through the same issue with none effective in fact they were actually producing the reverse of what they were meant to be…
Good evening FAM😃🖐🏼. I hope you all have been fine. It's being awhile i've been here, about 4 or 5 days ago. Well, I haven't been too well health wise, i'm currently dealing with skin irritation, i think i'm reacting to something that I can't figure out yet. I have been taking some medications for a week which didn't work. I'm currently on one now, I pray it works. To cut the long story short, I will be back on my feet soonest, so please do bare with me for the time being.…
Power of encouragement Few weeks ago, I was opportune to be at an event with children and teenagers. At the event, there are lot of games and shows e.g talent show, to participate in. Some of the teens I went with said they would like to show off their singing talent, well best of luck I said. While I was standing quietly at a corner, one of the girls, who was chosen by others to be the lead singer, came to me before it got to their turn telling me how scared she was, and…

Love languages Yeah it's me again the inconsistent writer😄. I really don't have an excuse to make because I know everyone here has a life too outside this wall. But please do pardon me for my on and off attitude, I will change with time,pinky fingers🤙🏻. Thanks for understanding🤗. So with that said let's dive right into today's article. Sometime ago... I was scrolling through YouTube and I came across a video of Adesuwa Etomi(now Mrs Banky) and Bankole Wellington's (popularly…
Styles of parenting I remember one of the first topics we did back then in SS1 specifically civic education was type of parenting (or something of such) ever since we've been taught the topic, I have been on the look out to find out about the parenting types in reality. A short story. Today while in church, a girl brought a puppy to the children department, I was shocked to see it but then I kept quiet, I only made sure that others, who by then have gotten carried away by…
Getting better Happy new month from me to you💃🏻, I know it's coming late, but it's better late than never. It's been four days, I have been here last and it looks like forever to me. Being a newbie(I don't think that counts anymore since i'm now one month plus user🕺🏽) not being consistent is a bad thing to start with. I do try to be but then there are lot more things outside this wall and it's so difficult to keep up with all, never the less I just have to find a way around…
Self-imposed kidnapping. Went for a gathering today where we all were strangers, it was an open place meeting at a park. After the meeting everyone departed and we all went our separate ways. On my way home,I found out that two others(a guy and a lady) from the meeting were also heading in the direction I was going, so we bordered bus together to our first stop. When we alighted, the lady said she wanted to withdraw money using ATM while the guy said he wanted to transfer…
Shine your light. Seated on the couch, legs stretched out while i lean backwards with my earpiece pucked in and eyes closed lost in the lyrics of the song I was listening to. It's a Christian hip hop song by Mike Abdul ft David karnji and A'dam. Title: Kneel Down. How does the song relate with the article's title? Let's see Part of the chorus goes thus; *No one lights a candle and hides it under the table.* *So shine your light for the world to see Let them see* The rest of…

Birthday Gift I got inspired to write this while I was in the bathroom 2 days to my birthday, so I recorded it instead of writing it down since I was taking my bath then and I was using my phone's touch. An idea gotten all thanks to this article by @Ellawrites . https://read.cash/@Ellawrites/write-immediately-the-inspiration-comes-21f27ee1 I pondered on publishing it tho, because i'm not the type who talks about herself, like I said in my introductory article here, you might…

Is domestic violence really the solution? I write with a heart full of pain and sadness(close to tears, but no worries I will be fine). I don't really get, is resorting to violence really the way to solve issues?😟 I was just on WhatsApp few minutes ago and I came across a video on a group. In the video, a lady was seen being dragged away by a guy with her long braids while still beating her mercilessly 😡(not sure if they were married, it doesn't look like it). I really wish…

Today (10/04/22) was hectic, I hadn't really had time to sit by myself since morning except for now(10:48pm, i pray i finish this before 12am),it had been from one activity to the other. It's stressful but I thank God for the grace to be of use in the house of God. It's been awhile on this space(I have got tones of notifications😰, would take my time to go through them tho) tho my body is not in the mood to do anything at the moment but I have had…
Dear Jambite I have been contemplating between publishing this article or another that i'm working on and i finally settled for this because the *almighty* *utme* exam is just by the corner(less than 30 days to the exam) and who knows maybe someone might find this useful. First and Foremost... I know in the world we are in presently, schooling is not really fancy like it used to be, especially in this part of the world where our leaders care less about education but still…

Getting Started Here I am thinking deeply about how to get started on this platform(I've been doing that for some days now). I'm a newbie here, introduced into this realm by an amazing friend of mine(@Tomi_ajax) who I really appreciate. I created an account here on march 25th and ever since it's been a kinda war on what to upload here and what not to. Even now as I type I honestly don't have a clue on what exactly to say, i'm doing this now, all thanks to my friend who…
