Sunday! The day of the week when majority of those who profess to be Christians turn up in Churches for Service or Mass or whatever appropriate appellation.

One More To Go
I heard October ended yesterday. Woke up this morning and realized today wasn’t October 32. November 1, the first day of the penultimate month is here.

The Bus Parliament [2]
You need to first read Part 1.
Then, it seemed Mr. A suddenly remembered that the ongoing session was triggered by the radio caller, and he abruptly burst in, “Thunder fire that guy. Before I talk your papa, now take, your mama.” “All these small boys that manage to buy recharge card and don’t know anything about the country”. Mr. D tried to let him see that the caller only made known his point of view, which he was entitled to. Continue reading “The Bus Parliament [2]”
The Bus Parliament
Diversity is an attribute that makes a parliament interesting and intriguing. Individuals with different backgrounds coming together to discuss issues that affect them and the people they represent. Many parliaments would envy the diversity of a bus’ passengers—individuals picked randomly from different points along a route, not held back by party allegiance. Continue reading “The Bus Parliament”
“No Bra Day” – Seriously?
Whew! So this Monday was “No Bra Day”? Despite daily monitoring of global events, I didn’t get to know of this day till the day after. Maybe it’s because it didn’t get to the front pages of the CNN or BBC website (mobile). Continue reading ““No Bra Day” – Seriously?”

Who’s Teaching These Kids?
Here’s what happens when you finish school and have to wait for Uncle NYSC to mobilize you (or better still, waiting for that company to call you for an internship position after a series of interviews). You get my situation, right? So I decided to have a little vacation at a friend’s place. That’s how I’ve become a fill-in babysitter. Continue reading “Who’s Teaching These Kids?”
Tele Fraud – Naija Style
It has become normal for mobile phone users in Nigeria to receive promotional text messages and unsolicited phone calls every day. The market must be quite huge. How else can I understand receiving more than ten messages daily? Continue reading “Tele Fraud – Naija Style”
The Right Time Is NOW
How often we limit ourselves and miss out on great opportunities because we patiently seek the “right time”? Many have lost business deals because they felt if they just waited a lil’ bit longer, they would have a more favourable investment climate; all in the pursuit of that eye-popping return. Despite all the wait, the perfect conditions never seem to come into being for them. Continue reading “The Right Time Is NOW”
