The walls were damp and covered with algae, she had been trapped her for three days now,covered in darkness apart from the occassional light which came when the door was opened when he wanted to bring food or talk to her. He was not rough or harsh, he talked in a tender loving voice and always referred to her as "Tofumi".    "Tofumi,you didn't eat your food,are you sick my daughter?"  He asked on one occasion    "I'm not Tofumi" she said admist sobs "please,let me go"     "You are my daughter,you just don't remember, I can't be wrong about you this time" Then he pointed to a dead body that had been laying there since the 3 days she had been here    "That was a wrong Tofumi, you don't want to be the wrong one now,do you?"     She couldn't reply,she kept on sobbing as her mind wandered to the incident that brought her here.    She was coming back from school when an old man had asked her for directi

Wondering how to make money from waste? You’re about to learn some interesting stuff. According to the World Bank, Africa generates nearly 70 million tonnes of waste every year. As the income and spending power of the average African continues to rise, more goods will be consumed leading to even more waste.

FRUITLESS ENDEAVOUR

I do not know if it is just me or has any guy been stuck in 'that moment'? I seek the leave to deprive you all of what the moment entails for now; please bear with me. That was like some joking stuff I was only working on suspense. Have you ever been in that moment where you cannot stop your eyes from assessing every girl walking by? To avoid ambivalence, a girl is defined by Obed to mean a lady with a very fine face, slim and not divested the opportunities of having muscles behind and most importantly, a ginormous hooter. If I happen to be a one man army as regards the moment, who knows, I might just consider this a curse. Exams are over!

Well, I don't know how true the report is but if it's true, then, I'm most surprised.

But the question that comes to my mind is whether it's enough excuse that countries all over the world are experiencing different phases of economic recessions. Truth be told, most countries of the world are experiencing very harsh economic realities but respectfully, that's not enough reason for us to suffer same. And the last thing Nigeria needs
