Lesson of life 1. *Dr. Ben Carson said,* "I struggled academically throughout elementary school yet became the best neurosurgeon in the world in 1987." *LESSON:* Struggling is a sign that you are on a verge of success. Don't quit yet. 2. *Bill Gates said,* "I didn't even complete my university education but became the world's richest man." *LESSON:* School does not make you rich. School is only supposed to polish what will make you rich, not make you rich. 3. *Christiano…

Two 11-year-old school children start ogling her, so he hits them on the head and leaves to confront her. Lakunle comes out and insists on taking the pail from Sidi.

My pillow He had left without a word except for one thing left behind,a fancy frilly dress I think he left for me to find i took the dress with tender hands and laid it lightly on the bed when time had come for me to sleep upon the dress I laid my head down. Followed in this sewer, have I become my friend? By the manmade waters where my school principal killed himself, geese cried. On the other side of the barbed-wire fence is a large cloudchimney. I put on a straw hat I…
Life changer This is a story from imagination but also real in some other world. I was narrating my ordeal with my Social Studies teacher to my sisters when our mother barge in after listening to the story outside their door. She praised me and went on to advise my three sisters against pushing their teachers to the limit. While she spoke, Omar, my only brother entered the room with a good news – he had been offered admission to study Law in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.…

Proximate analysis showed that dried salted sample contains 67.65% of protein while dried non-salted sample has 66.82% of protein.…
Gberefu Island experience This was a great experience in getting to know our history and how our ancestors were transported during the transatlantic slave trade. Taking a walk down the Gberefu island to the point of no return was quite surreal as it gives a very bright picture of the pains and trauma of Slavery in Nigeria. What makes the trip so much better is the very detailed description of the slave trade process by our tour guide putting life to every historical landmark…
Patience alongside hope I live in a place that has battled a long drought. Everywhere i look, the soil is cracked, dusty, and lifeless. It is like it never rained there. It might seem like crops or trees would never grow again. But, i have lived very long there, i know that even the longest drought can be broken ****IT NOT LOST**** In life, we can feel like that dry, cracked soil. Everything goes wrong; we face a long, dry season, hoping to experience something that brings…

All that glitter The phrase " All that glitters is not gold" emphasizes the fact that everything that appears to be beautiful and attractive may not be so. Many things that have a fancy exterior and shine like gold may not be as valuable. This holds true for people too. Many people appear to be beautiful and friendly but in reality they may not be so. I will be giving my experience on this,so you can understand more and learn from it The myself and my friend lived in a…
Thorn bushes Our fathers lied to us They say night will be over amd morning will smile on us,they said something about future but now we can see,it's all fiction, we have waited for years,our hope melt away and crystallises into fear and uncertainty. Our fathers lied to us,they say there is a garden at the end of the tunnel,but here we are afraid to take a step for the garden now grows thornbushes Then dark with dripping blood it gave a howl and cried again: 'Our damaged…

Yoruba history As of the 7th century BCE the African peoples who lived in Yorubaland were not initially known as the Yoruba, although they shared a common ethnicity and language group. By the 8th century, a powerful kingdom already existed in Ile-Ife, one of the earliest in Africa. It is said to be *Ile-gbo* (capital of the realm of humanity, based on the oldest predynastic traditions of its being associated with Oba Tala, Oro-gbo (Shango) and Otete (Oduduwa) .…
My neighbour I detest men who gossip. This past Thursday two of my neighbors that are best friends had a fight; I knew about it but decided not to come out and separate the fight because I know they needed to fight for some truth to be revealed. Yesterday my landlord had a meeting with all the tenants & these two neighbors of mine (grown men) started insulting each other, and in the process one of them confessed to me about the things the other one has been saying against…
My mom love to cook beans, but before she cooks the beans, she picks the bad and useless beans and throw them at the backyard whilst she cook the good beans. But when it rains, the bad beans becomes seed and grows up and looks beautiful. The same person who threw them away start to harvest them. She realises that the beans she threw away has VALUE. Don't cry when people THROW you at the BACKYARD, don't cry when people REJECT you, don't cry while they are LOOKING DOWN on you.…

African parents I saw an article on noise.cash and I was surprised with what the writer wrote. I will be quoting @**Kenechukwu** from noise.cash "Are parents ready to punish their kids for commiting an offence? When a kid commits offence at home, school or other public gathering, their parents often prefers to set their kids free without giving them the privilege to pay for their misdeeds. In fact, one of the childhood memories l have about parent child relationship is the…
Believe I remember when I was still playing active football, a guy came to our training pitch and challenged all of us that no one could run as fast as him and he was willing to stake 10k, he also have a hypeman who confirmed that he's very fast and that he'd gap any one of us, It became so embarrassing and my coach at the time (Coach mick) called me forward to take him on and staked 10k. I saw the confidence he had in me and I was so motivated, his only pep talk was "go and…
Cheating:my examination experience Lead images This topic is prompted by @JonicaBradley Some feel like they're perfect,they know everything. Sometimes I look at myself and be like yes I can do anything by myself but when I try so hard and see things isn't going as planned then I know I have to go by the law of politics which stated that "the ends justifies the means". What the statement means is that no matter the way you use,how you do it let the end judge the means taken.…
Remember Will you remember me in six seconds, Pending the time we are together, Having you all over me, How much you showed me you love me, The beds we both layed on, Also those desires glowing openly in eyes that looked at you, trembling for you in voices- only sometime i get frustrated . Now that it's all finally a memory, it seems almost as if I gave myself to those desires too-how they glowed, When I look into your eyes, I trembled hearing those voices. You told me we're…
