Firepemi 2

Image
Firepemi 2 Infact the room seem like Hurricane Mary and HurricanBenalewa had just had a combat. Geoffrey became confused, there was no sign of Firepemi, Yet he called her name again and again. He leaned against the wall facing the backyard and dialed Ben, his best friend's number to narrate his ordeal. Ben is a lover of books and after every lecture, he would retire to the library. Firepemi, Ben & Geoffrey were the Liberians ' three musketeers. This was because they had a great legacy of "breathing" books. Ben's number was ringing and there was no response.  Geoffrey turned to leave when his gaze met with the back view of Firepemi, who sat helplessly in a pool of blood. Geoffrey shouted her name and assured her he was coming to help her. Fifi was not responding,so Geoffrey ran towards the door to help her, when he suddenly stumbled on a 6feet 5 inches guy. His body was really Black and slippery, he had so much energy

Firepemi 1

Firepemi "Fifi, Fifi, ...Fi" as she is fondly called. Geoffrey,  a tall slim and dark course mate and admirer of Firepemi  had checked her in the class after the just concluded test and noticed she was not in class. He wondered what must  have kept her from class, talk more of the test.  As the intelligent class rep. Geoffrey had gotten  to class early to prepare the class. He seemed too overwhelmed with his preparation  for the test that he did not notice Firepemi's absence. He searched the library, her favorite spot and  every other place in school for her before he  proceeded to her lodge. She seem to be nowhere close by,  yet he won't give up.   He called out her name again and could not hear any response.  He then drifted to her room wondering if she was sleeping.  "But what kind of sleep would that be?" He thought to himself.  Only Mr Donatus, their famous course mate who sleeps  while standing in a crowded lec

How To Say It Better

                                      How To Say It Better  Many times, you will find it necessary to speak on a subject while most times, your silence might make a great difference. What you say at times is not as important, as how it is said. I have noticed that people who love talking, are often engrossed with the desire to explain everything to everyone. Unfortunately, we forget we do not have to say it all. Tony Buon, a quintessential Leadership Coach, says " You need to train yourself to be comfortable with silence, particularly when dealing with cultures that respect silence more than we do in the West." The knowledge of who you are speaking to/with, is also crucial.  You also may need to evaluate your speech to ascertain why you must say it.  What we say and how we say it, can either mar our relationship or make it better. Richie Dayo Johnson a quintessential communication and behavioral Coach posits that, " When you open your mouth, you tell the wor

CANCER AWARENESS PROGRAMME BY PROJECT PINK BLUE

Mitchell Obama asserts:"Success isn't about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people's life."  To this respect, I s alute the courage and tenacity of Project PinkBlue towards the advocacy and financial support of Cancer victims. The residents of Ikeja and its environs, experienced an unusual Saturday as the Awolowo way was decorated with beautifully and sportingly dressed volunteers, who had taken to the street to “ CHOKE CANCER ” in an Awareness Walk.  The walk kicked off with an interesting aerobic session, after which the LASMA vehicle and DJ Truck, led the eager volunteers down to Ikeja under-bridge then back to the Lagos Television (LTV) premises where the Cancer screening, ultra scan,as w ell as cervical Cancer examination was conducted by Professionals on several people. Project PinkBlue asserts :  “Nigeria has been rated the 1 st in Africa and 5 th in the world with the largest deaths with over 2

How To Keep Your Man

MARRIAGE IS A GIFT. When I was still in paid employment,I had a very nice boss, he was so nice that everyone loved him and we always wanted to be in his best books. We once wanted to buy him a gift, we did not know what he liked, so we called a 'strategic' meeting to deliberate. Anyone looking in would think it was a serious affair but that was how special he was to us. We finally settled on a bottle of his favourite perfume. It was not too expensive but immediately I smelt it I knew he would love it. It was exquisite! It was that kind of perfume that lingered long after you had left a place. We wanted it to be really special so we asked the shop to wrap it specially and we got a courier service to deliver it to him at a meeting he was attending. We were so excited about our plans it was as if we were the ones getting the perfume as a gift. We imagined how he would react, what he would say and do. It was the talk of the office... ..Imagine you are this exquisite p

How Association Influences Your Purpose

The How Of Association A ndrew Carnegie said, 'It marks a big step in your development when you realise that other people can help you do a better job than you can do by yourself.' (After all, you can't whistle a symphony; it takes an orchestra!) Your future is connected to certain people. Without them your destiny will be incomplete. If you're humble enough to accept that, your possibilities are unlimited. A key player in the Billy Graham Association was his childhood friend, Grady Wilson. In 1948 Billy asked Grady to come and work with him. At first he said no, but Billy persisted: 'God's told me you're to come and work with me. I need an evangelist; somebody who knows me and my ministry, somebody I can trust.' 'I didn't want to come,' Wilson later recalled. 'After all, I already had a successful ministry of my own holding citywide crusades.' But after praying he made the decision to follow Billy Graham (and God)

7 REASONS MARRIAGES FAIL

Image
Why Marriages Fail  I see captions like "Do not marry the    wrong spouse" or "Marriages fail because people marry wrongly".  I beg to defer, by saying that yes it is possible to marry for the wrong reasons but there is nothing like marrying the wrong spouse. People marry the "Right Man or Right Woman/Lady" but eventually things turn out badly and then the "Right" becomes the "wrong". Don't forget that at the point of "Yes I Do" or at the altar, they both knew and believed it is the right man or lady. Most people fell in love with the "Right man and lady". Unfortunately, things happen, unforseen reactions and disaster sets in and in no time the good becomes bad. The beautiful becomes the ugly and the great man becomes the foolish man and so on. 7 Reasons Marriages Fail. 1) Some people marry for the wrong reasons, which may include money, lust of the eye, lust of the flesh, pride of life , peer pressu
