The Bullies!!

Image
Bankole was my classmate in Primary 6. He was the smallest in class, next to me .. He was fragile, had a tiny voice like a female bird, looked unkempt and was always teased in class. Bankole was always failing in his sums, English, and History. He failed to do his homework, and was always failing his classwork, this got the teachers angry. They also teased him... I remember he was stripped naked in front of the assembly hall one day, as a way of correcting him I guess.. You see, Bankole loved school, school to him was his home, an escape route, but he wasn't doing well, students didn't help out, they laughed at him... He was BULLIED in school by fellow students. He was called dirty, yes he was and he had a bad odor, his uniform was torn and he would "patch patch" it.. I asked to sit with him, and I understood the problem was from home. His father was an alcoholic, and he was always beating his mum.. It affected him badly.. I tried to help him in

If not for university, I'd never own a phone!

If not for admission into the University, my dad will never have allowed me use a phone. That's the extent to which I was over protected and always locked indoors.. I'm sure if there was a way lecturers be invited to lecture me at home, I would have been home schooled... 2010, I got my first phone, it was China Nokia Express Music, the blue one. I was given by a concerned neighbor, I showed it to everyone and I was more excited about having a phone than going to the University... I would walk on the street faking calls just to prove I was a big girl(having a phone back then meant big girl to me) I felt fly considering other friends didn't have one, others that did made use of torchlight Nokia.. Anyways, I got to school, lo and behold, my phone was cheap compared to theirs. Mine was China, worst was a day I was in class, and the phone rang.. Worst day of my life.. You know how loud China phone is... Anyways, 3months later, I was washing my clothes and my

Cardinal Okogie wants Nigerians to pray for God-fearing leaders

Cardinal Okogie wants Nigerians to pray for God-fearing leaders Lagos – Anthony Cardinal Okogie, Archbishop emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, on Friday urged Nigerians to continue to pray for God-fearing leaders that would lead the country to the promised land. Okogie made the call at the 6th Bi-annual Conference of the Catholic Social Forum of Nigeria (CSFN) held at St. Leo Catholic Church, Ikeja, Lagos. “Christians must be ready to challenge the status quo of how people come into leadership positions with the principles of equity, peace and justice. “It is to this end that CSFN is charged to be the voice of the voiceless. “It is also to be the conscience of the nation, to be at the forefront of ensuring credible electoral process comes 2015 by sensitising the lay faithful,” he said. He decried the moral decadence, bribery and corruption, electoral rigging and malpractices in the country, and urged Christians to be committed to the course of common good

Where to go to college to make the most money

Where to go to college to make the most money — for each major       By Matt O'Brien   Forget the dorms, the dining halls, the parties, the picturesque quads, and, yes, even the libraries. Where should you go to college if all you care about is making the most money? Well, that depends. None of the Ivies are actually among the top 25 schools for best-paid young grads. Instead, it's engineering schools, like Harvey Mudd, and the service academies whose students have the highest-starting salaries. But that, of course, doesn't mean you shouldn't apply to Harvard. (Even if you could get the same education for $1.50 of late charges at the public library ). First off, peak earnings matter more than immediate ones. And second, there are big different things going on with these numbers. Engineers, you see, tend to make more money, so a school full of them will too. But that doesn't mean it's the best school for engineers. Just that it has a lo

Why I left the mother of my children, Oritsefemi

Why I left the mothers of my children — Oritsefemi By BENJAMIN NJOKU He is best known for his remake of Fela Kuti’s “Double Wahala” song. Before he came out with that hit song, Ekele Majemite Oritsefemi was unknown. Today, he is a hot brand . The Ajegunle-bred singer, who started his career as a member of a two-man band, The Junglist, recounts the touching story of his rise from grass to grace, recalling how he had to hawk and engage in other menial jobs in order to make ends meet. He also narrates how his poor background made him not to fend for the mothers of his children. BENJAMIN NJOKU Your song, ‘Double Wahala’ was a hit. What actually inspired it? I got the inspiration from God. Everything you want to do, you definitely put God first. Before I came out with ‘Double Wahala’, I was receiving low responses from my fans. I tried my best, but my fans did not identify with my songs. I had to go back to the drawing board to review my style of music. So you knew that

God, why did you create the poor?

God, why did you create the poor? Chinua Achebe, exit of a literary giant By Nuyiwa Adetiba This is a true story. A close friend was driving on a fairly busy road on Lagos Island when he was stopped by a traffic light. He looked right and his eyes caught a nine or ten year old child crying uncontrollably by the side. The sight so moved him that he parked his car and got down to see what was making the child so distraught. It turned out that the figures didn’t add up for the poor child. The money she had on her from the day’s sales did not correspond to what was left of her wares and she knew all hell would break loose at home. My friend solved the problem the only way he could – by making up the difference. But it was a disturbed man that walked into his air-conditioned SUV. Emotions welled up inside him as he narrated the story to his wife. At a point he started sobbing and had to park the car for the second time. The wife who had hardly seen her husband of thirty y

BROTHER OF EX NSE BOSS CHARGED FOR ALLEGED RAPE

Brother of ex NSE boss charged for rape November 6, 2014 was like every other day for 300 level student of Computer Science (names withheld) at the University of Lagos, Akoka Yaba. As the ailing student who managed to attend lectures stepped into her apartment located at Moremi hall, never in her wildest imagination did she envisage she would end up being a victim of rape. However, the signal of an imminent emotional and psychological trauma reared up after one Daniel Okereke, a man that had reportedly being wooing her since last month, came visiting. Without any inkling of an apparent sinister motive, the undergraduate was said to have reluctantly left to attend to her visitor,who upon seeing her condition, opted to take her to a pharmaceutical store around Akoka to get some drugs. Not yet done with his show of concern, the visitor reportedly took the female student to an eatery, so that she could eat before taking the drugs. Thereafter, he reportedly took he

The good old days

I miss those days of sweet messages... I miss those days or romantic messages.. I miss those days when I wake up to reading a message that made me feel like Cinderella that lost her shoe in the palace... I miss those days when I slept with a smile on my face because I got a message that brought me to tears... Now! № one sends msgs anymore.. BBM, Whatsap, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc have taken over... Lovers now drop messages on bbm or whatsap even on Facebook.. The messages that I wake up to are from MTN 5029,5030,5031, I'm beginning to think I'm dating them... What happened to that old love?? I don't like it now... Then a page of message was enough to lighten up my mood.. Now № one hides messages in draft or archives Because its № longer useful.. № one sends msgs anymore... I want back the old days.. Those days... # tears # walksOutAndFlipsHair Facebook.com

This is something to think about: 4 WIVES Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adored her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her, and she would help him get through the difficult times. The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her! One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, I now have four wives with m

If,and only if....... "IF" u can keep ur head when all around u are losing theirs and blaming it on u; if u can trust urself when all men doubt u,but make allowance for their doubting too; if u can wait and not be tired of waiting,Or being lied upon,but dont deal in lies,Or being hated but dont give way to hating,and yet don't look too good nor talk too wise; if u can listen to the truth u've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or dream and not make dreams ur master; if u can think,and not make thoughts your aim; if u can meet with triumph and disaster and treat these two impostors just the same,Or watch the things u gave your life to,broken,and stoop and build'em up with worn out tools,then u will all be celebrated my dear friends and beloved!!!
Think again, . Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in town. Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride a bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, "Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter; who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet." When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.' The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?' 'Yes' he replied. 'Well, I have been thinking
