How To Teach Children African Proverbs We should not allow this compulsive Covid-19 vacation end just like that. Beyond ensuring your children do their school works, you may need to help your children understand a few African Proverbs as well.🙄... I bet not many parents are familiar with African Proverbs especially the 21st Century Parents. Never mind, it is not too late to  start with the few popular African adage or Proverbs that you are familiar. All you need to do is to start by infusing them in your daily conversation with your children. While speaking with a friend on this subject, her response was, "Now this brings me to why I pity my kids sometimes. How are they going to know all these yoruba adage🤷‍♀." Here is an instance where a parent used a proverb in a daily conversation : Mum : Daveen!, pls come get this button from under the chair for me, u know, ówó ómóde o to pèpè, tagba o wó keregbe, baby😘 Daveen :huh?!😕😕😕mum what does that mean?🤷‍♀...

How To Cope With Children During Covid-19 #STAYHOME I can imagine the thoughts of many mums at this point, " FOOD STORE IS RUNNING OUT, Courtesy of Covid-19 lockdown". I know I am not alone here,if you are in this ship, Welcome. Oya gather let us discuss. The Children and teenagers are watching us keenly, so this is not the time to start blaming government and politicians for the spread of Covid-19, neither is it the time to be sharing fake forwarded news that will spread fear and anxiety.  You cannot also be watching Netflix 24/7 and expect your child to be reading? They are a product of what they see. Experts say it takes 21 - 33days to form a good habit. So we can utilize this lockdown and instill positive habits on our children. Try the following and add more to the comment below; 1. Take the children to the kitchen store and allow them make a food allocation that will spread for four weeks (Incase the lockdown extends). Enlighten them on healthy /appropriate...

My Pen

   My Pen  And when my pen finds expression Her speed is like one with obsession Yet not I but the ink that flows in my pen The papers hunger for a ginger of my finger Oh what fun it is when it linger longer than expected Well what a fate That plague my pen with a sure mate with no hate And when my pen finds direction Her action in motion is like one who was bestowed with a baton Even Usain Bolt will wonder at the speed of my pen Thank you for visiting Olabusola's Review.

They told me

They told me So they told me At odds times they drill And daily my ears hurt for the warning Warning of love I call it Many words they said to me That at your arrival I shall loose my sleep And that my time would be yours Yet I yarn for you My thoughts were,how you would look So now when I hear you cry seconds after leaving you, I remember those words When I trade my meal time for your me time When I can't wear my usual slimfit dresses I remember those words When I can't attend most events I remember those words about your arrival Well I fear not those words Yes I fear not their reasons Rather I love every of your troubles Your joy I seek So I love to see you smile I love the way you refuse to be swaddled I love you more than words can say You changed my world and carved your world by my world It is only a phase and for each phase I shan't be weary of you Thank you for your time on Olabusola's Review.

Love Poems

Just A Gaze Such a smile Yes your beautiful smile Even from a mile Always light up my face You are endowed with grace That aid my pace Not in my place to choose you Your path cross my race With just a gaze Beyond words can tell Beyond the well of wealth Is your love I don't love you for today I love you for yesterday I see pictures of more today in your love Many are slain by gifts That drain them Many slain by wealth That breed their pain But I am on a love train That wont pain or slain Many say love is scares But I say love is scares for those who too scares for true love When I say I love you It's not for this season But for many seasons And the reason is not known to even me I love you Poem by Olabusola Olorunnowo Thank you for visiting Olabusola's Review

How To Write Your Story I get tired sometimes when I read about winning stories. Trust me, the feeling is not due to envy or jealousy rather it is born out of a quest to know "the how" of the excellent achievement. Many times we celebrate many successful people without knowing "the how" of the success. The result is often over magnified than the process, hence it's just another 'glory embrace'. Many people would be glad to hear of how you failed and the different practical steps that helped you in succeeding. Yesterday I watched the comedy skits of a lady called, Taoma. In one of her videos, she recorded the step by step of how she got into that career. She even went on to discuss the process of cloning and how she learnt the use of Adobe Premier Pro app in editing her videos. It was indeed a great video to me as it provides succinct info and trainings required. I can tell she has a leadership trait and a compassionate heart tow...

10 Questions Men Hate To Answer How funny right, well the truth is , in relating with a man, there are some questions men hate to answer, sometimes because it affects their ego and at other times, they shy away from saying the truth or taking responsibility for their actions. ***Here are a few of those questions: 1) How much do you have? 2) Where have you been or where are you coming from? 3) Why is she calling you? 4) How did you spend that money? 5) Who is calling you? 6) Who are you chatting with? 7) Did you price it before buying it? 8) Why are you smiling at that lady? 9) If you are giving my mum this, what are you giving your mum? 10) Where did you get this from? Most ladies do not mean to stress their men out when they ask some direct questions. The challenge is that they do not know better ways of asking these questions.  I would advise that ladies be more patient and not allow  prejudice prompt them to be unnecessarily curious. It ...
