"Akpen's misfortune was a resounding clap in all four walls of the earth. The day he was born his both parents died mysteriously. Coming to this world we pass through a tunnel (v@agina), going out of this world we pass through a tunnel (grave) so we already know much about life and death. Akpen grew up br£astfeeding himself, eating palm kernel and sipping left over garri in the processing mill. He was too poor that mosquitoes never sucked his blood at night cause they feared a drag of his blood will take him off the face of the earth like a blemish and his blood will be on their hands. Even the rats in his home never stole from him rather they joined forces with the king(the cat) to steal from the neighbors so Akpen could eat. 3 square meals to Akpen was such a luxury he could never afford through out his stay on earth. Women never loved him, that means he never got kissed. He had $e × severally but only in his dreams. He grew up a bush hunter but he never caught or k!l...

Good Morning dearly beloved Npowerites...... I bring you some latest tittle-tattles per se which I feel might actually be of help to someone...... You may now agree with my earlier stance that countless visits or writing letters to zonal or state ASUBEB offices are near-useless in the quest to resolving the payment imbroglio. They may give you hope and take several processes before challenging your complaint to npower. THE FASTEST WAY TO RESOLVE YOUR NPOWER PAYMENT EMBROILMENT IS TO DIAL THE NPOWER CARELINE DURING WORK-HOURS FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY OR CHAT THEM UP THROUGH THE NPVN PORTAL. Now, it is very difficult to connect them but one needs an overwhelming persistence to make the call go through. Gather all Npowerites in your school having payment issues and have a conference time calling them at the same time. Once any of the lines connects, queue up and lay your complaints one after the other. I have given many people this same trick and testimonies abound and the sweetest p...

We don't need to be jealous or envious of anyone who is (is on his/her way to being) a star. The sky is big enough for many stars to shine. you may shine alone, in asterisms or in a constellation. It dosesn't take or require much. It takes you knowing that God approves you; Takes you approving of yourself, And you putting your faith to work through consistent action. By the time you take a break to peep at the other stars, you'll find that they've been staring at you, cos you're shining too. And somebody will be watching these films where the lady is crying, scr€aming and slapping the man and the man will carry her, ki$$ her to silence her and whisper into her ears, telling her it'll be okay..... And you will think that that's the way the world is until you get up, go to your kitchen and find that your palm oil is finished and you'd have to budget a few dollars equivalent just for a bottle... *hiss*. And is better married ladies should label t...

Good morning. I have some pointers for boneless persons. 1) Human beings are not shoes, we don't arrive in pairs. 2) Your basic boo who can buy you food, pay for your shelter and clothes after your guardian is, "YOUR MONEY". 3) If you believe in God then you won't be hungry for long especially if you get off your a$$. There are parables pointing towards hard work and one of the bible verses says: "your talent shall feed you" so your profession or your talent should feed you if you don't forget them in your boyfriend's house playing cook and steward. 4) And this last point is irrespective of your gender, get thee thy basic boo(income) and the other boo shall be added unto you. Now, not matter how righteous and politically correct you'd like to be, you can't be boring without money.The recession also affects booking rates. Stay blessed and strong. Watch the little video show during my Nysc at Kastina State.

While in the university my friends and I heard about this power-packed crusade that would be happening in one ministry. (For those who would think this is fiction, the ministry is located near Ezza Ezekuna Hall opposite Motherless Babies Home Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.) We attended the ministry and it was run by a prophetess. A single lady who once told MARRIED couples not to fast or come to her for prayers after doing that their "sinning" at night. Anyway the headlining preacher for the crusade was a visiting prophet whose poster showed him wearing military regalia. War Room kind of guy. Literally. The headlining artist for the three days was Chinyere Udoma. A renowned Eastern Gospel singer. Now the crusade started and it was power-packed as advertised. Breaking of bottles, calling out names and their owners' account balance, prophesies, and most importantly, sowing of seed. On the afternoon of the third day, members of the youth were called by the Sister to sow s...

A lot of people who go on about wanting a perfect husband or wife are quite miserable when they do get married because they want something that is just not possible; they want the kind of person that just doesn't exist. As long as you want to marry someone who has flesh and blood, you must accept that person as limited, flawed, and error prone! They will have to accept this same truth about you! Please know that you have to give your spouse room to be imperfect; it will reli eve you of so much stress and frustrations.  It doesn't mean issues should not be addressed and dealt with; but even when you have to do this, you must come from a place of love and understanding if you want issues to be resolved. It doesn't mean you should be walked all over. It doesn't mean that he or she should not work on improving themselves, particularly if it is damaging your relationship. It means that you acknowledge your own imperfections and weaknesses too! They may be genuinely tryi...

Please disregard any information asking you to drop your account details because we never gave such information and so, therefore, be wise. Secondly, the focal person has ordered her secretary to release the invalid and rejected list for us to paste and various LG. There is an information stating that all rep for each LG to come tomorrow and get the list which they will in return go to their LG and paste it there for everyone to see or you will have to be going in one after the other to check your name and make all necessary correction. But please be patient with us to come back and formally give the directive on this regard. We are also making an arrangement with the secretary of the focal person to get the names of those that didn't see their names at the LGEA and district. We're planning to drop a big note in her office for those in this category. Please note that the book will only be for N-teach. All N-agro whose name didn't appear at Agricultural development aut...

I was on my way to the Korean Cultural Centre to attend a programme in honour of World Poetry Day when I decided to make a stop at a road side ATM gallery to withdraw some money. This guy came close to me and began to mumble meaningless things so I ignored him. Then all of a sudden he began to shout at the top of his voice, cursing me out and thre€atening me: "I bind your spirit in Jesus name! I bind and cast you in Jesus name! You will remain like this in Jesus name!!" He said all this and more while prancing up and down.   Reasons I stopped believing in marriage  I was startled but refused to engage him. I just wanted to finish and leave. Everyone was just staring as though the guy and I had an unfinished business from before because he was not looking dishevelled or anything. I was a bit scared because he could have att@cked me and even harmed me. What this incidence reminded me of was my final year in pharmacy school where as part of my project, my supervisor w...

No, there can't. You're right. But calm down... Baba, when you were going to toast that babe did you wear a military uniform? You tell her say you be sailor? You were even buying suya and eating the onions while feeding her the meat. By that time you never become captain, you still be ship hand. Marriage is not a contract of ownership. When done right, it is a contract between two consenting adults, who in all lucidity decide they want to spend their lives together. It is an arrangement for which the love that made you eat onions instead of meat, as well as a mutual respect for the humanity of you and your wife, should be enough to hold. If you ever find the need to establish ranks in your relationship there is clearly a breach. If you ever find a need to hand down rules and regulations within this arrangement, to live with this person who you love, there is clearly a breach. Some of the best relationships we build as men, are with other men. For years you've got al...

1. I'm going to be sharing personal cringe-worthy love moments. Maybe because I've had my fill of the sweet and emotionally diabetic love stories I've been writing. I might as well balance them out with not so sweet personal experiences. Back in my early days at the Uni, I met this cute guy. He asked me out, I did gra gra. I've always loved persistence. But after months of maybes, I gave him a yes. Those were the days of social media 2go. We had most of our chats on 2go or Facebook. Few weeks into the new relationship, he put up a new status update which read "If you know there's a U in your name, I'm always online because of you" Booooom!!!!! My head exploded. My ori was irreversibly daru-ed. My name is Uzoamaka. See that  U? Mehnnn!!! To me, that status was equivalent to shouting my name on top of the Eiffel tower. He chatted me up: Him: So did you see my status Me: Yes I did (uses both hands to draw shirt with pride like Patience Ozokwo...

(1) It was those days when thie€ves wrote letters to owners of houses or people living in a street that they were coming to steal... One of those written to was a family in our fellowship, we belonged to a fellowship in the Catholic church then, she brought the letter to the fellowship and prayers went up... The day/week they promised to come passed and nothing happened. They received another letter in which the robbers accused them of raising their wall so high at night in the event of their coming, this happened more than once and the thieves never thre€atened them again. NB: these people had a low wall, we knew where they lived. It happened that the Spirit of God through prayers, raised this sister's wall so high at night that the thieves couldn't come in. They never raised their wall. (2) This elderly brother wasn't into lengthy prayers, he believed that all you had to do was tell God what you wanted in Jesus name, he would lay hands on the sick and depending...

My sister who is a 300 level ESUT student came back home last week. The SUG campaigns have started and according to her, there were over 6 male contenders for SUG president and only one female. That is NOT the problem. The problem is, fellow girls would see the campaign poster or flyer of the sole female contender and after seeing the post she was gunning for, would make up their minds right there and then not to vote for her. They believed women aren't supposed to aim for presidential positions because well, they are women. If the girl had gone for the post of vice-president they would have backed her up but president seemed a little over ambitious. Now the startling part of this is not that there is gender-based bias in a Nigerian high institution. It is that the bias is fueled by her fellow women. Her peers. The young girl gunning for the post of SUG president has unofficially lost before the race even started because her fellow women decided that by the virtue of her la...

Now I won't be writing from just the "something happened to you, you feel sad and bam, let's die" angle. I am including the mental health condition part. So let's start from establishing the fact that I am bipolar. Yes, bipolar mental disorder. Clinically diagnosed. Taking drugs and undergoing therapy. This declaration is important because I see people coming out to say, stop claiming depression and mental health issues so you can sound knowledgeable about an issue. So this one is not a claim, I can send you a copy of my doctor's report. I carry it around with my documents. Ehen, now that that one is clear. Let's talk. You see all of you talking about suicide being selfish don't know what you are saying. You think we wake up and just want to k!ill ourselves, because we don't want to be around you people and bear the pain alone. Because our existence somehow makes your life better. Because you even care about what we are going through? One of ...

This was the outcome of the meeting i held in your behalf with the focal person on Friday on the issues confronting Npower beneficiaries in Rivers state especially non payment. I need your support and prayers as your leader to continue to engage officials of Npower with positive results that will put smiles in the faces of all of us... Okah Obinna Kenneti is my name 'I am not aware of any notice requesting unpaid NPower beneficiaries to assemble anywhere or go to the LGA where they did their verification to update their bank accounts details or fill any form. I have not instructed anybody to act on my behalf. Therefore be careful of fr*aud stars parading themselves as NPOWER Coordinators.  The NPower Abuja office has assured me that all outstanding payment issues will be resolved soon. All those not paid February stipends will be paid together with March stipends. Also the list of the unpaid beneficiaries due to invalid bank details will be sent to all the states next wee...

Somewhere along the line years ago, I stopped believing in marriage. It wasn't a shock. I have been indifferent about the whole institution since secondary school. It was a gradual process and one day, I realised it wasn't something I aspired to. It's all meh to me. Like meeting Trump. Whether or not it happens, it's just mehhhhhhh. My parents know this. They have accepted it. They'd rather pray about it than talk to me about it which is perfect as far as I'm concerned. As Christians, we are taught to choose God-fearing men. The preachers would scream that no matter how poor or ugly he is, if he fears God, go for him. We women fall for that line and marry the most Bible-quoting man they come across. They fail to understand that at the end of the day, a God-fearing man isn't necessarily a good man. Most women stuck in a he£llhole of a marriage are married to "God-fearing" men. One day, my friend Chioma had many encounters with god-fearing m...

It is easy to say, "be there" for your depressed friends. How exactly can one be there? What if the person shuts people out? Truth is, not every depressed person wants to talk about it. There is always this feeling of "they don't know what I'm going through". Either that or they don't want to be seen as a burden to anyone. They're convinced they can fight their way through it and they would rather try on their own than be a nuisance to anyone. Sometimes, they can't even tell you why they feel that way because they don't know. That deep seated angst has no source. So how can you be there for them when they won't even let you in? Answer: Still be there! Years ago when I had my tumultuous days, my friend Obianuju knew. A lot of people including my family knew too and tried to help but the difference was, while they came from a place of pity and duty which I vehemently hated, she came from a place of normalcy. I locked her out at fir...

Years back, I met this guy, he actually came to my place and knocked on my door to ask me out. I blabbed all day to my friends who said I never go out that you could actually meet someone whilst seat€ed but£ n@ked in your house, watching Friends and licking iceblock. But I digress... We decided to go on a first date days later. I spruced up, brought out my "Beauty" gown and got ready. The date was supposed to be by 6 PM. 7 came and went. Then 7:30. Few minutes to 8 he called and blamed it on his busy work schedule, I was seething but he pleaded and pleaded. I took into consideration that on numerous occasions I had been late to dates and so many social functions so I decided to even the Karmic balance. We got to the place and dude had already invited his friend. I overlooked it and tried to relax. That was when the conversation started between the both of them. Laughing and shouting about their university days. I tried to join the conversation but that didn't work....

We take life too seriously. It's one life to live for everyone. Every man was born for purpose and living outside that purpose will continue to bring about an inner disequilibrium. God is not for the good or righteous, because no one is. Su!icide claimed another soul today and I am here thinking about a lot of things; things like "that could just be me any day", things like "this life we live is just crazy and fuc**ked up". Let me tell you a story from last week. There have been cases of suic!ides in Nigeria since this year began, mostly young people, as young as 12 years old. So I was in a class last week when a lecturer cracked a joke about someone committing su!icide. Then he went on to joke about sui!cide, saying that more people will still commit sui!cide this year because it is necessary that they di!e to stop overpopulation and some other things. He cracked the joke repeatedly and some of my classmates laughed about it. I was ma@d. It took repeate...

"You're wise beyond your age", "you're much smarter than your age"; these and many more such things have been said to me and I bet many other young people. There was a time I used to feel glad whenever people expressed shock at my age in light of the things I know. It made me feel better, special even. Till recently when I had a certain conversation with myself. Another annoying one is when young people say they do not watch news channels or listen to news stations because such things are meant for their fathers and older people. There's this notion that age has something to do with understanding of the world and how things should be. I can somehow understand the root cause. Most of our parents and their parents before them and their ancestors before them grew up at a time when knowledge was "hoarded" and transfered to people only after attaining a certain age. It was during this period that children were denied things that seemed like lu...

I was having one of my random chats with someone when he said I was looking happier these days. I smiled and told him that I am a woman in l0ve. He giggled and winked at me and although I understood what that wink meant, I acted like I didn't. I mean, I can't come and be assuming things and putting words in people's mouths na. When I kept a straight face and acted like I did not fully grasp why he had this mischievous look on his face, he went on to say, "so the boyfriend is treating you right na". I laughed and told him that when I said I am a woman in love, I wasn't talking about a boyfriend. This is not an entirely isolated incident. You see, most times when I write about love, people assume I am talking about am0rous, most times er0*tic relationships. However, in reality, I am not. I am talking about love. Everything that constitutes l0ve. A father's l0ve for his family. A mother's l0ve for her children. A child's l0ve for his/her parent...

I learnt a very big lesson from my mother, she inspires me with the words of God which say "I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me.(Phil 4:13):" My mother is the sweetest gift of God to me, she made various sacrifices raising me, She was too selfless, humble and quite enterprising. I grew up having many people living with us on her bill, but she never complained about once. She gets up before daylight to prepare food for the family. She is hardworking, strong and industrious, she is generous to the poor and needy she always girds herself with strength for her God-given task.  When I was young, I lost my left hand but she stood beside me as a mother to take care of me always. Because of me, she wakes up as early as 5 am to collect bread at a bakery in order to sell it, and pay my school fees. Every morning on her way coming from the bakery, she buys me a sachet of tea from aboki to prepare my hot tea before going to school that day. She makes me feel happy...

Choosing of the device is another area many volunteers will get problem. Many volunteers that choose above the device grant might start getting problem with their stipend. Why not better choose the device that is within device grant to avoid stories later on? Have you given it a thought about receiving the full stipend even after selecting a device above tool grant? If you choose device that is above the tool grant. your stipend will reduce hope you know that, besides you can't eat government like that, mind you. Rather, they eat you. Although, my friend was telling me she don't think there will be any issue with stipend resulting from selecting a device above tool grant. Being a volunteer is a privilege. Getting the device is a bonus attached to it. Then why creating situations that will make you not to enjoy the full package? Don't say I don't warn you hereafter. Options are given. It now depends on choices of individuals. Remember, choices were given in sele...

There's something I have noticed, maybe it's just human nature, but I find it a bit off. When people are upset about something, or going through stuff and they complain about it, maybe once, maybe repeatedly, some of us tend to tell them to stop complaining. Many of us want to be a judge of how people who are hur*ting or angry should express themselves. We want to govern the reaction to a grief and burden that isn't ours to bear. Truth is, sometimes we do not know why the person expresses himself or herself like this. We do not know what itches him or her. I've come to understand that people and situations are rarely entirely simplistic. And this definitely leads to differences in behavior, in perception, in understanding, in reaction. Can we just let people be people? Can we let them grieve their own way? They are not broken the way you are. Yet, no hur*t is better than the other. Your pain doesn't dwarf theirs and theirs shouldn't dwarf yours. It's...

I need to learn to trust people again, I need to let people in, the way kids openheartedly do. He said I have darting eyes, that I need to allow my eyes focus and be calm around people. Honestly, I really knew he was right. I'm unsteady, a bit unhinged around people(I hide it well, you have to be quite observant to notice it). People see me and think, "this girl bares it all, she's trusting". Truth is, I do not bare it all because I am trusting, no I am not. I do not bare it all basically to give people hope(it might be one of the reasons). I bare it all because somehow, it helps me exhale. It takes away that fear that someone would find out my dirty secrets and use them against me. So this is me, taking that ammunition out of your hands. It's no longer a dirty secret. I am #bipolar. And I suffer from that #bipolar a@ffective disorder. So he was really right. I did not get enough time to really be a child. It's the reason why I seemingly aged beyond m...

Before I start, I am a Christian. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, let me say this. When someone says s/he is depressed, don't ask them to only pray and take it to the Lord. Ask them to seek help. Professional help. If they can't afford it, be there. If you can't, don't make light of the matter. You see, depression is an illness just like malaria. Difference is, one is of the mind, and the other of the body. Would you ask a malaria patient to just sit home and pray? Would you ask a cancer patient to not go to hospital but to drink olive oil? No? Okay then. I am not doubting the power of prayer, but even the Bible says faith without work is dead. So while you pray, seek professional help. That professional help is the WORK which your FAITH needs. I've told this story before but I'll tell it again. My uncle's wife, the mother of two girls and a boy got sick in 2010 and was diagnosed with breast cancer. She told no one but went with her husb...

Boy meets girl, they have something going for them. Some mutual attr@action. They profess l0ve to each other and decide to stand by each other and help each other grow. They start rolling. Boy is more concerned with girl's character, how she is too playful, how he is a man and deserves her respect and submission, how she is too free with other guys, how she has too many friends, how she must learn to love cooking because they might end up together and he's a man. He is not even mildly interested in her ambitions or career growth. He's one of those guys that sees saying "I want to go along with a smart woman with potential" as a cool, "woke" thing but doesn't really understand what it means, talk more of living it out practically. But girl doesn't notice this at first. Girl is more concerned about boy's goals and dreams. You see, girl is an ambitious woman. She has dreams and goals, there is somewhere girl wants to be in life. She pushe...

After verification in all states, N-Power volunteers are faced with different problems, but I’m going to focus the MAJOR problem: Inability to edit profile in case there are errors in their NPVN Portal. Error in N-Power #volunteer profile could impede the volunteers from getting paid, could deter him/her from selecting N-Power tablets etc. If there are mistakes in either your bank account, or BVN, or name, here the tricks you can use to get edit button back to your portal for you effect the correction. On this particular method: HOW TO CHAT WITH #NPOWER ONLINE AGENT has been tested and worked for most people I assisted. They are not always online, right? If you want to chat with anyone of them the best we found to be the best is between 11am-2:45pm during working days/hours: Main thing on how to bypass this.. @Login to their www.npvn.npower.gov.ng. Even if your login details no longer work for you, you can still apply this method to chat with @npower online consultant. If yo...

I just remembered something now. It made me laugh the day it happened and it still makes me laugh every time I remember that day. Oya see the gist: Sometime last month, I was in Calabar and as usual whenever I am in Calabar I try to spend as much time as possible with one of the most important men in my life, my crazy best friend(I don't know which of us is crazier now because that young man has started doing and saying plenty bad things too). So on my last Monday in Calabar, we decided to go for the Oath taking ceremony of some fresh graduates of University of Calabar medical school. My mum is a lecturer in the medical school so I told her my best friend and I would branch by her office when we were done. We left the program after 10 minutes because we did not understand why the woman who was giving a talk kept saying that one cannot be a good medical doctor if he or she does not have faith in God and why after telling the fresh doctors that it would be difficult for them ...
