George my Good Friend

George my Good Friend
George was a young man full of hope and dreams. There was always something he had to say about every single aspect of life. He knew a lot about politics, football, games, the country, economics, and almost everything I could think of. He was a genius. The first time I met him in my first year, during 100 level, I admired him. I admired his enthusiasm for life, his gifted nature, and his dreamy perspective.

However, as we moved into 200 level, I began to notice a mental shift in George. He didn't always behave the way he used to. His speech changed too; he seemed different, almost like someone who was becoming unwell or perhaps struggling with depression.

We reached out to George's family and expressed our concerns about his increasingly troubling condition. They assured us that they would take care of it. However, when the next semester rolled around and we were supposed to advance to 300 level, George was nowhere to be found.

We tried contacting his family again, but they were not forthcoming with any vital information about George's whereabouts. They acknowledged that they had taken him somewhere for help, but they offered no updates on his health or progress. Their only response was that we should pray for him.

George was my good friend, or rather, he is my good friend and I haven't heard from him in almost two years now. I truly hope he is doing well and that he is safe.

Saving Struggles

Saving Struggles
As one isn’t getting any younger, I concluded to save this year. You know, just save a little cash. Even if it’s 100,000 by the end of the year, that isn’t such a small amount. Throughout last year, I kept saying that I would save, but I didn’t achieve any significant savings. Though I invested in other lucrative things.

This year, I had resolved to save, but the more I try, the more I spend. It feels as if there are enemies plotting against my ability to save. I have tried practically everything to keep some money in my savings account, yet something always seems to drag it away.

I’ve cut down on all round expenses, I’ve reduced buying sweet treats, and I’m trying to avoid anything that tempts me to spend. I’ve made these sacrifices, but despite my efforts, I still find myself spending often on basic needs.

I think it’s the skyrocketing prices of commodities these days that make it so difficult. I can hardly place my finger on it. Saving money feels like an futile battle, and I can’t help but wonder when it will get easier.

Golden Fruit

Golden Fruit
One sunny day, I went for a walk in my neighborhood. The sky was blue, and the birds were singing happily. As I walked, I saw a big pawpaw tree in someone’s garden. The pawpaw fruits were bright yellow and looked very tasty.

I felt curious and wanted to try one. I looked around to make sure no one was watching, then I reached up and picked a ripe pawpaw from the tree. It felt warm in my hands, and it smelled so sweet! I was so excited to eat it.

I ran home, holding the pawpaw carefully. When I got inside, I washed it with water to make it clean. Then, I took a knife and cut it open. The inside was golden and looked so yummy! The sweet smell filled the kitchen, and I couldn’t wait to taste it.

I took a big bite, and it was so sweet and juicy! It made me feel really happy. I closed my eyes and enjoyed every bite. It reminded me of fun summer days and how nice it is to eat fresh fruit.

When I finished the pawpaw, I felt very good inside. It was not just a fruit; it was a special moment that made me smile. I learned that sometimes, the best things in life are simple, just like that sweet pawpaw.

Job Scam

Job Scam
A man was contacted by a foreign number one day with an offer for a job that promised he could earn 100,000 naira daily. It sounded too good to be true, but out of curiosity, he decided to give it a try. The task was simple; just liking photos online and after completing a few tasks, he was paid 1,500 naira. Feeling encouraged, he thought maybe this was a genuine opportunity.

The next day, the people behind the foreign number introduced him to something more exciting: a money-doubling scheme. Tempted, he decided to try it out with 12,000 naira. To his surprise, he received 25,000 naira in return. It seemed legit, and he started to trust the process.

On the third day, things changed. The group announced that the minimum investment had been raised to 30,000, 50,000, or even 100,000 naira. Greed got the better of him, and he decided to invest 30,000 naira, hoping for even bigger returns. But this time, after sending the money, he was removed from the group. The foreign number stopped responding, and it became clear he had been scammed.

Unforeseen

Unforeseen
There’s a popular spot on my street where people gather to smoke, drink beer, and vibe to loud music, especially at night. It’s always lively with men parking their cars, ordering pepper soup, and turning the area into a mini club. Tonight was no different, except there was no electricity, so the place was poorly lit. I had just returned from buying some fruits and decided to walk past the area.

As I got closer, I noticed three guys standing near the edge of the gutter, probably waiting for someone or just chilling. The darkness made it hard to see clearly, but I could make out their silhouettes. As I approached, one of them decided to step back, maybe to make way for me or just adjust his stance. Unfortunately for him, his foot missed the ground, and he fell straight into the gutter.

I froze for a second, trying to process what just happened. I wanted to laugh so badly, but I knew I couldn’t. Instead, I kept a straight face and walked past as if I didn’t see anything.

Honestly, if I were the guy, I wouldn’t even bother coming out of that gutter. I’d just stay there until everyone left. The fall was so brutal that I could feel the embarrassment from a distance. It’s one of those moments where you pray the ground opens up and swallows you whole.

journey of a new phone

journey of a new phone
I got a new phone over the last two weeks, and I enjoyed using it. I wasn't sure about the system UI and other features of the phone at first, but it turned out to be very nice. It has good RAM and good ROM, and its processing unit is top-notch.

I liked everything about the phone except for three things. First, the battery doesn't last as long as those of Infinix and Redmi phones. The other thing was that it heated up a little bit when I multitasked on the phone. The third thing, which is the most frustrating for me, is that I couldn't find a protective pouch for the phone. Even the screen guard isn't available in the market; they say the edition of the phone is limited. I bought this phone at a high price, and I can't risk it falling to the ground.

Since the phone and its spare parts aren't available anywhere near this market, I find it hard to be truly happy about getting a new phone. If anything happens to my phone’s screen or the touchpad, I’ll be spending a lot.

With prices having doubled, ordering parts online from branches or headquarters in Lagos will cost me a significant amount—approximately 30% of the phone's price and I’m not willing to take that risk again. I’ve already invested a lot in buying the phone, and I don’t feel that I should spend more if anything goes wrong with it. Besides, I simply don’t have the money for that.

Enjoying Home

Enjoying Home
I gently and very cautiously picked out the onion slices from my rice. Everyone in my family knew that I didn’t enjoy eating onions, especially when there were too many in a dish. But then, this Jollof rice was so sweet, and the aroma filled the air; I couldn’t resist the urge to dive in, even though I felt discouraged when I noticed the slices of onion spread throughout the rice.

The onions were cut into round shapes, making them look beautiful, but I never enjoyed them, especially since they weren’t cooked through. They were just slightly heated, retaining that raw texture. I had heard that it was better and had more health benefits when the slices weren’t fully cooked, but that didn’t change my feelings about them.

Carefully, I picked out the onions and savored my rice, determined not to let those pesky slices spoil my meal. I enjoyed every bit of it, indulging in the rich flavors and satisfying textures of the dish.

My siblings mocked me, claiming that I was picking one of the most nutritional components of the food out, but I wouldn't listen to them. I was more focused on my careful picking before I spoiled my mood, my taste, and my appetite. I couldn’t risk that.

After I finished eating, I gave accolades to my sister, who had, over the years, improved her cooking skill which had improved greatly.
