In the past few days, I have heard quite a number of condescending remarks about a certain matter in which the speaker(s) had absolutely no idea of the truth behind the matter.
People believe wrong things. Unfortunately, that cannot be helped.
“He cannot make heaven!”
Such a simple statement, but (more…)
Love is the greatest force in all the World! It has driven us from the highest of the highs to the lowest of the lows! Yet we do not shrink from falling in love time and time again. That’s simply because it is quite frankly, simply beyond us! We are essentially made up of Love Particles…
To me, Life and Love cannot be separated! A life without love will definitely be a hard and forlorn one, and love without life is something I am not sure exists. For Love itself is alive! And to betray it is tantamount to killing something dear!
We have probably all gone through a heartbreak at one time or another, and we know, in our different ways, how heartfelt a heartbreak can be!

The BRT queue was as long as from victoria island to ketu! And to make matters worse, there wasn’t a single BRT bus in sight! What to do, what to do! In this business, there’s no time wasting! Thinking on your feet becomes a reflex action! It would have to be the other buses!
Not very palatable, but it was the only option available… I won’t bore you with the gory details of the conductor and passenger trouble that happened on our way! That’s a story for another day!
Soon, we reached my destination! As I alighted I asked Mr Rider how much my fare was! I shouldn’t have!
Mr Rider: Na 300 oga
CEO: tiree wetin? I was mad! The fare was 150 per person
Mr Rider: oga I tell you befo you enta o. Na why I no carry anoda passenja o.
CEO: Whish time you tell me? Me I no yeah anytin o… (I was on the phone as I got on his bike and by this time we were already frowning daggers at each other)

Mr Rider: Oga I no go gree o… If to say you tell me, I fo stop carray anoda pesin join you, I no fo carry only you….
Its morning and the rush hour is just beginning to ebb. I have a few places to touch before heading back home. As CEO of Up and Down Nig LTD, my working hours are very unconventional. My best form of transportation is the ubiquitous okada. You sit astride one of…
