It is said that to everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages.  This statement cannot be overemphasized. In fact let me say this statement is underrated.  Back then, attending a private secondary  school was one of the major determinant of your parent's social status. Until you graduate and find a public school lever, who speaks better and fluent English compared to you or you write the joint  admission and  matriculation board exam(JAMB)  twice or three times and find out that most of your friends who attended public school got admission before you. You won't be amazed until you even get the admission  and notice that a larger percentage of your course mate graduated from government secondary school.   In our present era, religion and politics are two major drive to our affairs both in the community level and country level at large. Vast majority  of our political leaders both present and past were schooled by the govern...

One of the things an individual could do and be happy with him or herself later in life is taking charge.  The mind is wired to run from difficulties and challenges but it is one's responsibility to train it to stay and fight back.  Responsibility is the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone. So running from responsibilities ain't a way to solve problems. Though it could look like a solution but trust me it's going to be temporary.  See men who drink just to forget about their problems usually end up in bigger problems. Ranging from becoming an addict, living an irresponsible life down to committing crimes they could avoid if they were to be sane.  Taking up responsibilities doesn't mean you have to do beyond your capabilities or subduing yourself to unnecessary pressures. It only means you have to use the little ability to control any given circumstances be it good or bad.  Men who takes the responsibilities of...

Episode 3&4 The driver rushed towards Felicia,  "madam! Madam!"  "Olorun o ni je ka daran oo" (may God prevent us from calamity). He rushed her back into the car and as a wave of breeze blew over her, she came back to life. "Omo mi da" (where is my child) was the first thing she said. "Madam please relax, let me go inside and check her" the driver replied. Felicia came down from the car , rushed into the house. As she  entered through the front door, she met Tope on the floor soaked in his own blood. "Ah! Esther 'kilo se fun'" (what have you done to him?) Esther could not give an answer. She was soaked with sweat and blood, one could liken her to a cowboy who had just finish milking a cow. "Mummy please let's go to the police station" she said. "To do what? Felicia queried. " To report the case. She resolved. "Madam let me go and report the case in the police station while she take her bath"...

Pa! pa !pa! , Tope heard the sound of a gun shot coming from the direction where Esther and Diana entered. He rushed inside to check what was happening, only to find Esther on the floor. He knelt down beside her to check if she was still breathing. "Mummy wake up....Dianna cried.  Tope quickly rushed Esther into his car and drives horridly to the hospital. " Doctor how is my wife?" Tope asked the doctor after coming out from the theatre. "Your wife is stable. She will be on admission for the next two weeks" the doctor said. "Thanks doctor" tope said. "We treat, God heals" the doctor said as he walks towards his office. As soon as he was done with the hospital procedure, he left for the police station to report the case. ............ "This life I can't kill myself oo, allow me to flex ooo... This life I can't " this was the song Victor was singing when the police van arrived his vicinity. He had run away from his house since...

"Please stop! don't beat my mummy again" Diana cried. Victor did not stop until Esther could not raise her arm anymore. He flanked Diana like a player would flank a ball on the football pitch, not minding if she hit her head on the wall. He left the house looking like a hungry tiger. Victor was once a billionaire who was making cool cash before one of his mistress introduced to him a virtual business. Suzzy was an international proustite who had made fortune from her job. She is curvaceous and smart that most politician do like to take her on their business trip. She introduced Victor to a business that could make victor the richest in the country but to every business there attach a risk. Victor was ready to take the risk. He withdrew all of his savings, packaged it in a sack and was ready to travel to Dubai with Suzzy. Two days before the trip, Victor was robbed. Hello ma, mummy, it's me (sobbing).. Esther "omo mi" what's wrong? Felicia, Esther...

In Nigeria, there are lots of families and each differs in terms of background and identity. Which one is your family and how good or bad is your family contributing to society? The daily activities in families account for the kind of behaviour being exhibited by children in the society which in turn becomes the pedal at which we ride the wheels of each community.  The seven types of the family include: 1. Formal and strict families: This kind of families are always time conscious, they train their child to be mean and in their thinking, they are better than every other family in the neighbourhood. They barely accept gifts and when they do they instruct their children not to make use of such gifts. They are well educated and less socialized. If they have tap water, they hardly leave a tap outside the building for public use and despite that, they have the time they open and lock it. And if you are in need of water you need to ask for keys on several occasions and if car...
