  The Ninth Month: Let’s go back to the Drawing Board. Hey there! Howdy! Welcome back probably from a long, enjoyable, extremely busy, demanding, and interesting month in 2020 . Welcome to the first ember month of the year! Yeah! Do you know what? I am pretty excited as you are because we started this year like any other, making plans and all that, and boom! The pandemic swept us off our feet in split seconds, and while we at it, the tension in different parts of the country with inflation, increase in unemployment, crime, strike, and domestic violence trended. Many came face to face with poverty, hunger, and starvation, or even death. It didn’t just stop with these but man’s social, religious, and even fundamental human rights were threatened; with the forced closure of institutions, recreational spaces, religious arenas, and enforcement of curfews. In fact, one could as well say that all hell was let loose on mankind. A couple of months before this, nobody ever envisioned th...

Her Healing Process... How do you feel about love? Love is a beautiful thing like many say but then when a beautiful love suddenly goes sour I don't know what to call it. Being in love can be the most beautiful, important, and dedicated thing you see yourself doing especially for people like us who love our whole heart, mind, body & soul. I loved these two men greatly. Unfortunately, I found myself using the word love for two men on different occasions, something I dreaded! Well, life happens I guess! Desmond was my first love, yes but then he wasn't the one! Bobby came thereafter and also melted my heart but still wasn't the one! Their walk-out of my life in a space of 6months was the most devastating part of my life. It was more than a huge blow in the groin. I was angrier at Bobby because I thought he knew me better, I thought he understood me better, I thought he loved me more, I thought he knew how delicate I was after Desmond’s misbehavior and obvious breakup,...

Almost a Bride: My True Survival Story... We really appreciate your time so far with us. This wouldn't have been possible without your openness. So, how did Bobby find himself in the picture? I vividly recall that you mentioned him in the first part? That was immediately after school, I was posted to Nasarawa for my NYSC. Fortunately, I got a rewarding offer with Access bank. Anyway, a cousin of mine introduced us. At first, I didn’t like the idea, but I felt it wouldn’t hurt anybody if we became friends. Interestingly, he was such a good talker, sweet-tongued, and disciplined. Obviously, the guy was more romantic than Desmond; I think that was the beginning of all my troubles because I was already getting distracted. So, was there stuff that didn’t match your criteria with this very new guy? Absolutely, what he lacked in physic, he made up in character. Apparently, two main things were a turn off: he was a chain smoker, and a heavy drinker: I knew the implication. Truth be tol...

My Success Story in times of Covid-19.... While some are glued to the screen of their TV set or phones, navigating from one breaking news to the other, there are few people who have decided to make a difference in this hard time. The Sun is up! The Modern City by Chizaram Atuba It is no new news that our minds are plagued with the thought of the pandemic , and we are overly occupied, and painstakingly waiting for it to come to an end. Come to think of it, what if this stretches longer than we could imagine? Would we actually have our legs crossed, and wait till we are declared Corona virus free or do we become energized to do more for ourselves despite the present circumstances? Have we observed that no matter how much it rains during the day, night doesn’t overshadow day light? This simply means that the decision to think and make a move depends on us. Let’s take a good look on the bright side! Intrigued! At first, during the very few weeks the lockdown was anno...
