ENGLISH IS NOT EXPRESSION



It was a sunny day, going towards the end of its third quarter. Segun or shexzy Baba for short (actually for long) was returning from the Island. He had gone to make some important enquiries in a company, and need be that he looked smart and fly. From Obalende Park, he entered a bus en route for Bariga.

THE REASON ALL FINGERS ARE NOT EQUAL




“Any man who...uses his own brain too little falls into the lazy habits of thinking”
John in his second year at the university was a master in the balancing of accounts, bank reconciliation statement, preparation of Trading, Profit and Loss account, the Balance Sheet (which is now known as Statement of Accounting Position as modified by the International Financial Reporting Standard, IFRS) and other accounting processes; his academic feat was known by all. But James, who was in the same class with John, struggled to keep his head above water as regards academics. Both were studying Accounting at the university.

GOOGLE: KNOW ANYTHING AT LITTLE OR NO COST



"There shouldn't be dull persons in the world anymore."

"Uncle, do you have a game in your phone?" 7 years old Ayodeji asked me. I visited their Festac home. His mom, MyLady as I fondly call her, wasn't around, so my company was kept by her two sons, Ayomide being the younger.

Drama On The First Day Of School Resumption




 “…Baby. Come. Hug me! Hug me! Hug me!”

It was the beginning of a new session. Students of this great institute of learning resumed after a 2-month vacation. They've had a tough end of the previous session; they were given little time to prepare for the sessional examination after the school authorities called them back when lecturers suspended the strike action they embarked on for months over payment of salaries and some other internal issues.

Living In Paradise Hasn't Been This Simple





“There is a place I long to be, where the air is wide and free, it’s a little haven just for me…” so begins GTBank’s theme song, sung by Asa, the Nigerian sensation who has carved a niche for herself in the world of music.

It Costs Less Than Five Cents To Be Wise




The wee hours of the night it was in Ajegunle area of Lagos State. No one seems to take notice of the time as they carried out activities as if the evening just came upon them. The area bubbled like one of the First World countries that the government has since provided notes of assurances of safety of life and property whenever, wherever and maybe however; so citizens could walk freely at anytime, 24/7. The area was also brought to live by harmonizing sounds from power generators of different shapes, sizes and make.

...And The Hidden Truth Was Revealed


Jesus and His disciples decided to move to Galilee because of the rumour carried by the Pharisees that he now baptizes more than John. On their journey to Galilee, it became apparent that they pass through Samaria. Jesus being famished (his disciples too) rested by a well as his followers made their way to get food wherever possible. Then, there comes the woman of Samaria and a conversation ensured between them. This is recorded in John 4: 7 – 26.
