10 Things To Look Out For in 2022.

 10 Things To Look Out For in 2022 If you have gone through life one, you would know that it is not easy. If you have gone through a lot, you will know that it is better to come out of troubles and if you have never tried anything new, this is the right time to try. Here are the 10 Things You Should Look Out in 2022 1. Jobs If you're not doing well in your current job, you might consider searching for new ones or even starting your own firm. It might not be easy but remember that the hurdles were there when others started. 2. Ideas. Seek ideas that would transform the world! If you find them, good for you but if you don't, then try again. There is no harm in trying. You can think most of the time but do not over think and when you are doing thinking, you can checkout what other people are doing with their own ideas. 3. Family. Maybe, you didn't have much time for them in 2021 or other years for that matrer. In 2022, tey. It is important because even though you are out there...

3 Motivational Quotes From imiano

 In a lifetime, one might come across challenges that might overwhelm one but when armed with the right information, success is attainable. The following are 3 Motivational Quotes From imiano: 1. When God opens doors for you and you close them with excuses, then you would have only yourself to be blamed.  A lot of people do not know that what God expects of them is to use what they have to create more. Yet, they go about complaining that they have nothing.  2. If it requires just one person to make it in life; just know that you're the one.  At times, you don't need crowd. Move with the right motive!  3. If nothing is happening there, go there and make something to happen. This one is self-explanatory. Additional Quotes About Life. 4. Life is a cycle. You can end up where you once started.  Do not be afraid to fail. The ground is for everybody but the top is meant only for successful people. So, always climb up!  5. Somewhere some how is not anybody's...

I should have waited

  Get this book on Amazon . When you left I thought I was gonna die  But because of the peace  You left in me; I recovered. I searched through the windows for your figure but it never existed. I searched through my stock of files piled up when you were around and I found out that they were  Dusty. I searched deep down  In my heart;I found you never rust but the figure was missing. You are my six figures The zeros behind every  Other one in my life And the eyes with  Which I saw through the cloudy days! I asked my friends about you but they asked me if I ever told them about you when you were around. Now, I feel battered. I feel ashamed because  I never told anyone about you when we were together. You were the figure I never wanted to miss The budget I never wanted to exhaust  And the target I never wanted to miss. I warned myself  But I never listened up. I hope you did stay but  I was wrong. Now, I have the blame All to myself beca...

THINKING OUTSIDE NIGERIA VIII

 In life, overtaking is allowed but not over speeding. If you are a driver, you would know that there are certain speed limits to obey. Every driver knows this but people who claim to be stubborn might ignore this but remember there is a consequence! How does this apply to life?One may ask. In a bid to overthrow others, some people have gotten into danger. You can work on your own but never underestimate what consistency can do.  In this part of the world, motivation works for us but action is needed because no plan can be carried out without the planner(s)having to do something. If you have a dream and you leave it that way as jus a drem, it can never manifest. Work for the actualization of your dreams but don't go against the law! In one way or the other, one day, you shall find yourself looking back to say that you have tried.

THINKING OUTSIDE NIGERIA VI

 You can try everything and fail but this does not include hearing from God. Yes!It is possible. Inasmuch as the world is looking polluted, there are people who can still hear from God and you can be one of them! God knows, you don't need to pay anybody to do this for you because God can be heard through the Bible and it is there for you!No matter what hapoens, seek God's face. You don't need to be told before yoy can know this: God is for everybody but making heaven is for those who come to God through JESUS CHRIST.  If nobody has ever made you know this, now let me take the credit but glory goes to God. You need to be born-again in order to make heaven. Nothing else can save you! In order to live well on earth, you need to have a personal relationship with God because there are things we cannot do on our own. To avoid confusion, seek truth. In all you do, trust in God. In one way or the other, one day, you shall find yourself lookig that to say that you have tried.

THINKING OUTSIDE NIGERIA V

 Don't think about yourself only, think about others as well. Life is bigger than just you! When you are going through stress and you don't know how to get over, consider talking to someone - a professional preferably. When you are taking risks, consider weighing the outcome first. Search for the track record of the company involved to know if they're actually genuine and if they are not, abort the pan and  When you go through posts, consider not judging people. It is for your own good because you don't know where the matter started. When things happen around you, do not seek reasons to blame others but fid the best way to stand on the truth. Even when it is against you, have a re-think. Truth can be against you when you're on the wrong side and when that happens, consider switching over to the side of the truth.  There is no need covering up when the evidence is against you but try not to have a cause to be implicated because if that happens, people might blame you...

THINKING OUTSIDE NIGERIA IV

 When you come together as a people, do not brood bad ideas. Nigeria has different people, different mindsets and different ways of doing things - we hope to harness the best. Take note of the fact that before you can get to somewhere meaningful tomorrow, you need to start from somewhere today! Do not sit down and blame others for everything that happens to you but seek solutions. The good thing is that you can find them if you look in the right directions! When you see all the excuses why you should give up on tangible means of livelihoods, the best thing to do is drop them and when you come across a news that depresses you, the best thing you should do is to close the tab. You are mature enough to take care of yourself, do not neglect that! In one way or the other, one day, you shall find yourself looking back to say that you have tried.

THINKING OUTSIDE NIGERIA III

 I do not see the possiblity of solving any of the problems that Nigeria is facing without getting Nigerians involved. So, that is why we are here. I am not trying to undermine the efforts of our past leaders, concerned citizens or the present one but I am only saying that we deserve better in terms of employment, housing and health among other challenges that the Nigerian people face especially the youths! The problem now is that we cannot always go to the government of the day to lodge our complaints as these things are seen as what they are - mere complaints.  To lend credence to our voices, we need to take actions and that is in a way that will not raise unnecessary dusts, disturb the economy or interfere with the peace of the people! Basically, we are thinking deeply to see if we can proffer solutions and not cause problems. To make sure this is achieved, we do not call for public outcries that we cannot control because words spread like wiild fires. Hence, we resort to a...

THINKING OUTSIDE NIGERIA II

 There is no better time to do this than now. There is no better way to do this than starting now and there is no other way to achieve results than to think outside of the box! In lieu of this, I am calling on the wonderful youths of Nigeria to bring up ideas that would shape the country in an all round transformations in a way other than the way things have been done and I am also calling on sponsors to come to our resue and help such ideas come into fruitation. We shall be discussing inwardly.

THINKING OUTSIDE NIGERIA

 THINKING OUTSIDE NIGERIA. When we are talking about thinking out of the box, we mean Nigeria. Yes, the country is a box - a green one for that matter! It is a box that is filled with many entities, personalities and places. These entities can be spiritual, religious, academical, economical, political and financial. Just like every other country, it works for some people and doesn't work for some people. So, there is need to think ouside of the box. I am not saying that we all should run out of it. Run is different from think. In the real sense, thinking out of the box means proposing solutions other than what the people are used to, what the situation has been like and what nobody else thought about! In fact, it means generating new ideas about solving problems other than the way people have always thought. For example, if lack of electricity is the problem and most people have become used to depending on the power supply authority, someone might wake up one morning and say, Ok. L...

CUBANA CAR WASH IV

 YOU HAVE NOW . By dawn, he woke up to a new chat on his Facebook App and it was Ezeguy. The young lad had sent him a link to join a life-changing opportunity and he did because there was no registration fees attached to it. That was how he got exposed to a goldmine in the real estate sector and since then, he had been working out things. He never believed that a small boy like him could handle such an endeavour but he was not the first. So, he cheered up! In collaboration with Ezeguy, Imiano sold up to 30 plots of land in the South West and jetted out of the country with the commissions he had made. In his opinion, the country had nothing to offer him as he had suffered alot but he was wrong! -- Two months later, he was deported back to Nigeria because it was discovered that his papers were not complete and original. His only saving grace was that the link was still open and he continued selling. LESSONS: Don't commit a crime and hope to leave the country because nemesis might sti...

CUBANA CAR WASH III

  Avoid giving excuses.  He couldn't mention his ordeal to anyone as he bore his cross alone.  The next week saw him returning to school as he vowed never to work with any nutritional company with deceptive marketing strategy. -- Imiano was still trying to recover from this menace when he received a call from Ezeguy. Ezeguy was a guy he met the previous year and as they got talking, the guy asked him;what do you do for a living? ‘’I am managing.‘’ He answered. ‘’Managing what, exactly?‘’ came the voice.  ‘’Managing my life.‘’ he replied. ‘’Ok. I will send you a link.‘’ the voice said and cut call. Throughout that night, Imiano could not sleep as he kept wondering what kind of link it was that Ezeguy wanted to send to him.

Treat As Urgent

 In this tutorial, I will show you how to write a book, what to write about and where to publish. Whether or not you make money depends on how many copies you sell. You might have com across a website called Amazon. com. That is where to publish. Head over there and create an account. When asked for your Tax identification Number during interview, tell them it was not issued to you! Unless you have one and click the first option in the list. 1. What to write about.

CUBANA CAR WASH II

 www.downloadnairatv. com When he got there that Tuesday morning, crowd were already on ground. So, he managed to join. It wasn't an easy journey but he managed to stay cool. Funny enough, he met some of the people he knew there and they exchanged greetings after which they told him that he had gotten the job and only needed to make some payments so that he could start working with the company. When he asked them whether they were recruiting for cubana car wash, they said no that it was just a marketing strategy. So, he told them that he was going to return next week before he could give them feedback as he was not with cash on him. --- When he got back, the only thing he could remember about the so-called company was how the people who claimed to be earning in dollar were just shouting up and down. Making all manner of chants just to attract people's attention.

CUBANA CAR WASH I

Get the book on Amazon . Imiano was coming back from the stream when he saw an advert on Facebook requesting for the services of able-bodied youths who are willing to be engaged in productive works such as car wash services, bakery and logistics. So, he applied. He has heard about Obi Cubana, Cubana Chief Priest and the rest but but he never thought about them having a car washing spot anywhere in Nigeria or abroad for that matter. Nonetheless, he applied. After all, nobody knows tomorrow. Imiano was on his bed after he had returned from the and was waiting for his Mama to come back from the market when he got notified that his application was accepted and when he flipped down the screen, he got the shock of his life: It was a nutritional company and he checked the address.

HOW TO SET A GOAL.

 A goal is something you would like to achieve. Some people say that it is a target with a time frame for it's execution. It's all good. Do not be dull when you are supposed to be acting.  1. Pick A Pen. Write them down if need be. In that way, you can always remember them and know how to strategize on achieving them. People's goals vary. So, you can set yours according to what you want to achieve in life. Making heaven is a goal. Being a better person is a goal. Do not miss yours but work steadily to achieve set goals. 2. Know your onions. It is good to set goals within your capacity so that you can achieve them. The reason is that if you set goals beyond your reach, you cannot be able to achieve them due to lack of resources. So, plan well. Plan ahead and do justice to any task that comes your way. In casing you are doubting this, you can set goals above your reach. If you have the wits, you can achieve them. 3. Do Good. Before we talk about goals, let's talk about do...

HOW TO AVOID BEING MISCHIEVOUS.

 In life, you might want to attain a very high standard for yourself that you begin to wonder what other people are up to.  The truth is; not everybody would be like you as some people are mischievous. Always looking for ways to pull other people down just to claim to be above them in wealth, knowledge and understanding but it is not good. Do not be like that. Whatever you want to achieve in life is possible even when obstacles come your way. The downfall of a man is not the end of his life. That is what people say and it tends to be true. Read my lips, you wouldn't be better  than everybody else if you pull all the people around you down by your words, acts or reasonings. So long as you are on the wrong track, you can never get to the right destination.  Cover your tracks when they're not meant to be open but don't do evil and don't use your mouth to slander people. Be a leader with good examples and not one that receives praises of men with undue approach.  In...

HOW TO AVOID DELAY IN LIFE

 Actually, delay is different from waiting. A lot of people are beginning to console themselves by saying that their destinies can be delayed but must surely come to pass, what if you die? There is no time again! If you think that you have to be above 70 before you can attain something in life, forget it. In fact, there are some activities you can be into and not know that you are just wasting your time. Delay   is dangerous but don't run into danger. One of the things you shouldn't do with your life is gossip. Another one is eye service and the other procrastination.  I understand that different people have different opportunities. So, wherever you are, maximize profit. Avoid activities that would endanger your life but stay cool. In life, seek mastery. That is the only way to avoid delay. Don't resign to date in issues that concern you but always strive to make a difference and become successful.  There is no shortcut to succeeding in life but if you have a way of ...

HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE

 Accidental discharge is a term that is used to describe a situation whereby a law enforcement agent or anybody carrying a gun, for that matter mistakenly fires a bullet. The bad thing about accidental discharge is that it usually occurs when no Target is aimed at. In fact, it is a misuse of weapon or a total misfire!  The truth about life is that we also have accidental discharges. History remember those who aimed at their targets and achieved something not those who misfired or aborted their plans. Yes! An accidental discharge can also be likened to a situation in life where the person who planned to do something failed at the task thereby aborting it. For example, if you want to sit for JAMB in 2022 and gain admission into the university you later didn't do so, it is an accidental discharge. When you aim at nothing, you gain nothing! 

The Day I Wake Up From The Wrong Side of The Bed.

It was actually a Friday, I had a dream in which a turkey was chasing me. So, I ran for my dear life! When I wake up, I found out that I was already on the bare floor and probably, I fell from the wrong side. I have always heard people say things like that but I never believed it existed until it happened to me. Moreover, I wasn't all that inquisitive. I was just on my own when I saw the little animal on full wings and two legs bamboozling a white nylon sack along the way and I wondered what could be inside. So, I went to check. When I got there, it was Suya and some bones. So, I decided to chase the torotoro away knowing that those things might cause it harm. Initially, the thing was running due West and I followed it. The next thing was that it turned and started chasing me. So, I vamoosed! That was how it happened and people were watching us

IN A LIFE TIME: HAVE YOU WRITTEN A BOOK?

Image
 Imiano has this to say: The title of the Book is, "The Treasures in You." And you can get it here:-  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09RH7VLB6 1. Writing I started by actually writing the book. Do not think that I carried out no research. It is about life and productive efforts. So, I put in effort to get a wholistic view of it. There could be other aspects. 2. Editing. I left the book for sometime and came back later to edit it because I might not grab all the errors if I should do it at once. Of course, I am not all that perfect. So, there could be minor errors. 3. Publication. This was done digitally. Thanks to the information I got here, I was able to scale through the tax information phase. Now, it's online. Meanwhile, the price is in foreign currencies. AS SEEN ON NAIRALAND.

Dydx Equals Zero

  I don't know if you have heard this before but it is a mathematical expression. It usually comes with deltaOne and deltaTWO and it is mostly found in further Maths. Now, not everyone wants to hear things about mathematics especially when they're are not good at it. Personally, that subject puts me off but I managed to scale through so I am not here to bore you all with Almighty Formular, Quadratic equation or the likes! I am just here to tell you about life. Basically, every aspect of our lives is like a page in which we can chose to write something on or not. When you take actions in your life, it is like writing on those pages. When you choose not to, they remain empty but if you make mistakes, they also show. dydx = 0 means that anything you do without God amounts to nothing! Start a business without God, it is failing.. Start a marriage without God, it is failing and  Live your life outside of God's principles, that one is hell fire, straight! dydx = 0 means that anyt...

BROTHER BETRAYS BROTHER (BBB) V

 When Abraham returned to the city that year, the first person to greet him was Chioma. She informed him that the Landlord had broken into his house and taken his properties to the warehouse at the main gate and another person had replaced him as they knew not his whereabouts. Just then, Ifunanya came in with a little boy.  "His name is Matthew." She said, as she covered half of her mouth with two of her palms and tears dropped. Abraham was still amazed at the height of Madness displayed by the Landlord when this happened. So, he knelt down and proposed to her there and then and she accepted! Conclusion. Though Abraham had a calling (which we are not sure of), he went the traditional way but never claimed to be a pastor. When you get your Salvation or you already have one, don't lose it to petty things and in all, control yourself.

BROTHER BETRAYS BROTHER (BBB) IV

 Abraham could not understand how time flew and within two years, he was already a millionaire making charms for people. One of his products was in the market and it was an infertility correction fluid for women which he manufactured by mixing several herbs and it worked. That year, Abraham could not tell whether or not he could return to school but he always thought about Ifunanya. He couldn't blame himself much because as at that time, he had no way of fending for himself talk more of feeding another person's child and his own child. So, he fled.  Unknown to him, his parents were still sending money to his former account with which they had known him but he no longer received alerts. So, that morning when Jiboru called an emergency meeting to announce to the family that Abraham was no longer in school as they had thought, it was a pitiable sight as they all wept bitterly as they all cursed Satan for leading their child astray because they had always known him to be a good bo...

BROTHER BETRAYS BROTHER (BBB) III

  After  the pastor had preached , he made  an altar  call and many youths  trooped out including Abraham. After all, there was no harm  in trying . So, he gave his life  to Christ. That morning, he lost it. As he was returning from the crusade ground , a mini bus stopped and he entered thinking that they were heading to the bus-stand where he could bode a vehicle to his own state but they diverted another way and before Abraham could realize it, he had dosed off again. This time, it was through the aid of a substance they spread in the car. When they got to the sacrifice ground, he was rejected. So, they schemed to draft him into their kidnapping squad for the purpose of rituals but trouble broke out in the big thick forest as they exchanged hot words to know who's King. So, the Chief Priest came and settled them by saying that Abraham was going to stay with him since he had a calling and he was going to answer it under him in the Traditional way. Def...

BROTHER BETRAYS BROTHER (BBB) II

 In a bid to dodge paying hotel fees, he slept there. After all, he only had a night with which to stay in Abuja. He only needed some hours off so that he could cool off. Away from his dozens of problems, he was soon dosing off in a dreamland  filled with smiles  and wonderful  creatures and they  were playing  until a dragon popped out  and he  killed it because it was a young one. In the midst of all these, an Usher tapped him on the shoulder and he was startled. It was an Usher and the crusade was ongoing with lights shinning here and there across the stadium and he liked  the way the Pastor preached as it was prayer time. 

BROTHER BETRAYS BROTHER (BBB) I

 Abraham have had this dream on several occasions. It was a weird one but he couldn't relate it with anyone. After all, Ifunanya had gotten pregnant for him. Thanks to his lack of self-control. So, it was actually the beginning of Abraham's problem. When he left his hometown for the university city, his people wished him well but they never knew that he was stepping into a hard-boiled problem. So, when he heard that Ifunanya was pregnant for him, he never knew bothered because he had planned a way of escape. After they had a heated argument that morning, he abandoned his lectures and went to Abuja. When he got to Abuja that evening, he heard that Wizkid was having a show in the town and there was also an ongoing crusade by the Dunamis Pastor. So, he went to the crusade ground crying.

CHILDREN

 Children There is a saying in Igbo that those who do not have are crying, those who have are still crying. What is the way forward?Have children but let them not be thorns in your flesh. Learn how to stay with kids. They are fun to be with but avoid the stubborn ones or should I say, Correct the stubborn ones? Lols. Ok, that is left for you! Religion Who else is on this table?Religion alone has turn the Africa continent upside down. Tell me one evil that religion has not done and I will know that we are still safe. People erect baby factories all in the name of prayer houses and when they are caught, they say it is the handiwork of satan. Shey na your leg work? When you were enjoying the proceeds from it, was satan with you?Keep quiet jor. No matter what happens, always know that the Word of God remains true but I don't know about those who interprete for us. Whether they are truthful or not, it is left for you to judge and always make the wise choice of knowing the Bible for your...

SCHOOL

 School Gboozah!!! That is where e are now but it seems to be tarnishing. I heard that in those days, if you just come out from the teachers' training college, you would land a job but now if you like, come out from the Ph.D training institute (if there is anything like that), there is every possibility that you might still have to join the queue and look for job. In fact, job hunting has become another niche (career path)for bloggers these days. You might say, ‘’Well, unemployment is the problem here and not school.‘’ Who told you?Have you even asked yourself, ‘’What is the quality of graduates being produced?‘’ Even Government cannot comfortably employ the same graduates whom they have trained talk more of those in the private sector. It is in this country that children will look at a graduate who has no job for several years and say, ‘’school na scam.‘’ Left for me, I have no solution for this problem. You can ransack your brain and tell us one or invite someone to do so!

Hunger

 Hunger. Personally, I have issues with hunger because it is not good. In fact, I find it difficult to think straight whenever I am on poor diet talk more of being on empty stomach. One of the things that contribute to hunger in the land is lack of money with which to buy food. Oh' yes, it is that bad. Girls wouldn't mind going to a man's house just to eat free foods and you know, anything can happen which ordinarily, they wouldn't have done. So, I think what is good is for you to have money. Not just money but more of it so that anything you want, you can buy and leave the neighbours out of it.

PARENTS

 Parents. Some parents cursed their children. I am not supposed to be saying this but it is true. No parent is perfect (there is not even a family that is perfect)but when a child under their care does something wrong, you would hear them say something like, ‘’You will suffer until you die!‘’ is that a good thing? At times, I don't even bother to exchange words with people outside when they provoke me because I don't know who did them what is doing them. Nigeria. Presently, this country is our problem. Most people now think that running out of it would solve their problems but I don't think that that's true. I wouldn't like to say much on this because the last time a certain Musician tried saying that Nigeria is scattered, they nearly arrested him. If I say everything I know, I might as well get picked up for questioning. So, I can just close this item by saying that Nigeria is good. Let's manage it.

Money (or lack of it) One may wonder how money tends to be a problem. It is because too much of everything is bad!Money can make you think that other people do not deserve to live. That is why you see people intimidating others with it. You snatch somebody's land, you still use money to subdue the person (even calling the cops on him or her), you snatch somebody's wife, you still use money to shut the person up and you encroach into another person's space, you tell the media that you have made so much money including the one for police case. Set aside for dealing with people who mess with you;both seen and the unseen. Meanwhile, you are the one who looked for trouble. Lack of money on the other side is also a problem. Because lack of money might make you think that other people...

 This is the voice of Imiano transmitting from Oronto Genesis Lubricantus Eberendu, farji wireless. I repeat, this is the voice of Imiano transmitting from Oronto Genesis Lubricantus Eberendu, farji wireless. Over! The white hollowed Calabash was situated in the midst of cabals as the Imiano presided. It was a meeting of the Elegons and it was not a casual one. So, they spoke in hush voices. "All man, arise!" Imiano screamed. "Awu agwu hn." They responded.  It was a battle ground. So, they fought and not with bows and arrows but grammatical blows instead because it was a war of words!  

No Text, No Phone Call

 On that Saturday, when Imiano received a phone call from one of his aides, he learnt that his elder brother had left school and went to an unknown place and had left his pregnant girlfriend behind, Imiano saw it as though an opportunity had come for him to actually pull Abraham down and take his revenge. So, he summoned a meeting and declared Abraham wanted as he had been receiving money from the family's pulse without being in school but the gathering favoured Abraham even in his absence as the people present only cursed Satan and left Abraham out. "Mtcheew." He sighed as he left the meeting arena which was the sitting room after the meeting had ended and he was disappointed that the family heads could not take a decisive a action against the boy but he had other plans. After Imiano who was known as Jiboru in the physical had failed to drag his brother's name to the mud before the family members, he concluded that the boy has a tincture of grace that follows him and...

Abandoned property iii

 With their sources of livelihoods gone, a lot of Igbos returned to nothingness except for the 30 shillings handed over to them by the banks after the war despite the fact that some of were already billionaires before the war, those that left their properties in other parts of the country lost them as some people took over them during the war and that made those properties to be labeled abandoned ones. Those some people later retrieved theirs (I am not sure), the war left so many people hopeless and they had to start building from the scratch. On the other part, the Northerners had the support of other foreigners who supplied them with ammunition during the war including fighter jets and bombers. That notwithstanding, the war had come and gone. Let's move on. 

Abandoned property ii

 The battle was bloody but different tactics were deployed including Ogbuniwe, Ojukwu bucket and ambushing. There were betrayals, allegations of betrayals and sabotages and many people were confirmed for it.  Notable among others was the voice of the Military Head, Major General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who commanded the troops. Whether or not he received the backing of the likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe, Major General Aguiyi Ironsi (who was then late) and Banjo, it was not certain but he commanded with vigor. What caused the war actually drew strength from different corners including economic imbalance, unnecessary killing of Igbos in the North, political upheavals or military sabotage and structural denial of Igbo dominance in the political arena and Gen. Yakubu Gowon's refusal to heed to the Aburi accord. There could be other reasons but those are not to be taken to heart. I have a melodious voice, yes but it was not good to sing during the war time because all eyes were red. S...

The Unknown Guest (No Text, No Phone Call) II

 When the did was done and Abraham had forgotten his education and was now dining with me and the elegons, I figured out that it was time to let him go as there was no way I could terminate his destiny not his life. The boy carried grace. I kept him under me and he had already begun producing drugs with Nafdac reg number as against my traditional means. I figured out that he had his way with herbs and words, so he mixed them together and produced a fast selling product called, "The infertility correction fluid" which he marketed through digital means. Within two years of staying with me, I had to let him go. After he had left, the Nigerian Police invaded my shrine the following year and desecrated the whole area including the famous Arzimuthal circle and even arrested my boys with some of them confessing that I was the mastermind behind their raids and two had died while they exchanged fire with the squad and we were charged to court and later sentenced to 22 years imprisonme...

 When Imiano contacted me to do the work, I knew it was not going to be easy as the person in question was a strong one in the spirit world. So, the only way to ruin him was to bring women along his way and shatter his destiny but our plan did not work as he only impregnated one and got stuck with her. So, when he came to Abuja, we saw it as an opportunity to kidnap him and carry out the act since Imiano had paid us for the job. When I came into the sacrificial arena and they were clamouring for recognitions as they couldn't kill the boy because the hand of God was upon him, I picked up my staff and told him to follow me as I recited more incantations. After I had explained to them that the boy had a call, they left angrily.

 Imiano was in the tabernacle when his phone rang. He got up, took the phone and smashed it against the wall. Then he went to that same place, bent down while holding one of his hands on his knees and picked up the SIM Card. Then he went back to his sleeping position. It was not an ordinary sleep though, it was a ritual one. It was in this manner that he operated in the spirit world as he could get integrated into people's dreams and shatter some. It was in this manner that he always manipulated his brother Abraham. Though he never recorded huge successes, he succeeded in some. Imiano had contested in so many elections in the time past and failed. In fact, he was known by all and sundry as, "Papa One Chance." But he refused to give up. He never liked the idea that his elder brother went to the university while he stopped along the way and joined politics even though he was a tout. "There is no big deal. When we get to the top, we would know who is who. " He woul...

 When the war started, I was a bit startled. I thought it would never get to our side but it did. With the bombings and shells blasting here and there, Church activities were halted. By then, hunger had crept into the vicinity and the elders gnashed their teeth in anguish. I don't know whether it was an avoidable one or not but what will be will be. Children died while they were still being held in the hands but it was not as painful as seeing a talented young man who should have been somewhere schooling or maximizing profit die in his own pull of blood.

 I do not care how the war ended but I do want to sound a note of disappointment at its outcome. It shouldn't have been fought if it was not meant to yield any significant result. Now, I was not there when the war was fought. So, I will try as much as possible to claim I was. My name is David, I am a gospel singer.

 After I had graduated from the University, I thought my stress had ended but that was when it just started. Jennifer followed me to the village to know my people and for them to see her but things didn't go all that fine as they complained about her height even though she was beautiful. All the while that I was telling them about her, they didn't know she was the one and I just laughed as Jennifer open her mouth in awe as I showed her my people: "I thought you said you guys were big?" She questioned. "Eeh. We're are big nah. Are we not up to 13 here?" I retorted. "I mean, big like.." She tried saying when I cut her short. "Big na big. It could be numerically big, financially big or even intellectually big!" I answered and she couldn't say anything as she was overwhelmed. "So, how did you get all those things you ate in school?" She asked with passion. "I worked." I answered sincerely. I could feel her eyebrows...

 When I first gained admission into unizik, my desire was to graduate a second class holder (please, don't talk about first class. I heard that thing is stressful) because I could not see any reason why I should confine myself to just going to three places such as the library, church and market apart from school. So, I held dear to my dream. Others might have big dreams but mine is ok. At least, I keep a diary! If my children ever ask me why I didn't graduate well, I would tell them to ask their mother. I was busy looking for her in school while others were studying! At least, I have an explanation to give. Even though it is a poor defence, some do not have one to give! There is this problem I usually have every Wednesday. It is called Jennifacoitaities. I usually know that it will happen because whenever she comes with those friends of hers with some kinds of bag that have deep holes, the destinies of all the onions, Maggi cubes and other ingredients I have (or used to have) a...

 If I had listened to my mom, I wouldn't have been in all this mess. She told me, Leave Jennifer, I refused. The same Jennifer that made me fail my exams has surfaced again!  Now, I know why it is said that age is not all that matters! At my age, I still misbehave. In fact, age is not maturity. Jennifer came into my life when I had nothing (except my voice). In fact, I was befriending her with one hand and I was using the other hand to pack my trousers because I had no belt. After everything my mother told me, I still went ahead to stay close to Jennifer. No wonder it is said that a fly which does not need to warnings always follows the corpse to enter the grave!
