Loose Dogs

Loose Dogs
There is this boy that was sent to a fenced round compound with a gate, and there was dog in that compound. The boy was sent there by the mother, on an errand to somebody. The boy entered the compound and met with the dog which displayed its initial reaction to strangers. The dog, as usual, wasn't pleased with the boy's presence, but the boy had to complete his errand mission.

The landlord of the house was outside there, and assured the boy to come in that the dog won't bite. And you know this belief that when you see a dog and you don't run, that it won't attack you, the boy applied the rule and walked further into the compound. The boy wasn't there to see the landlord, so the landlord sent for the person the boy came to see. Suddenly, the landlord had something urgent to attend to inside the house, so he went inside.

The boy was outside there alone, waiting for the tenant he came to see to come out, what took the landlord inside the house must have been an emergency, so he literally forgot the boy. Nobody really witnessed what happened after the landlord went inside, all they heard was the boy's shout, and when they surfaces outside, the dog had the boy's throat in its jaw's grip. The dog was very violent and aggressive, nobody knew why the dog attacked.

People gave suggestions that the boy might have touched items in the compound, ignoring the dog's bark, since the landlord said it won't bite. The boy couldn't talk, he was rushed to the hospital, but died after some days, a very tragic event. I don't know how the family will react and how the landlord will react, but I believe that if you must have a dog in a rented apartment, it should be chained or cage, short and simple. A rented house is bent to have plenty visitors, that's undisputed.

There's no way I'm walking into a compound that the dog is loose, even if the owner says I should come in, I won't oh, because even the owner doesn't know the mind of the dog, it can do anything at any time.

Unforeseen Moves

Unforeseen Moves
A close neighbor of mine, we normally call him Prince, who drives okada using somebody's bike, and then pays the person on a weekly basis, trended in my street because of what he did. Just like every other day, he went out with this bike to make money, when he met a young man and got into a discussion. The guy told Prince that he wants to learn how to ride a bike, and he'll pay anybody that will teach him.

The guy offered him 2k only to learn the bike, and Prince agreed. They went to the training session right away, in a road that is less busy and free. The guy will ride, and Prince will be at the back guiding him. After some time, the guy told Prince that he wants to try on his own, without anybody seated at the back, which he agreed. Prince kept watching as the guy rode past their usual training distance, till he was out of sight with the bike.

At first, he couldn't believe his eyes, the guy was gone with the bike, a thief with a well designed strategy. Prince decided to lie to the owner of the bike, that the bike was stolen in the night while he was sleeping. He even accused one of our neighbors of stealing the bike, and police was involved in the case. Meanwhile he confided in few people, the truth about what really happened, and you know that talks like that can't lay low for long.

Everybody got to know what really happened, and the police arrested him for faking and lying about the whole thing. Prince has a girlfriend that is pregnant, and expecting a baby soon, that kind of human being will look for money through any possible means. Teaching someone how to drive for just 2k shows desperation, and lying shows he's not willing and not capable of handling the consequences. And the thief's strategy, I don't think anyone would have seen it coming. The thief and the bike has not been found till date.

Hypnotized

Hypnotized
Yesterday I closed early from work and decided to trek home. I came across a girl, crying and rolling by the roadside, and people gathered to find out what the problem was. I also waited to find out why a girl in her early 20s will cry like a baby. The guy was just crying and shouting her atm card, her money, he account. At this point I got an hint of what happened; that she must have been robbed, and wanted to know how it happened.

The girl said that she stopped a taxi to board to somewhere, she said the driver offered to carry her in the front seat for free, there were people at the back, but she didn't take note of them. When she was about to enter, the driver begged her to help him bring with her some sand from the ground, the girl scooped some sand in her hand for the driver who used a sag bag to collect the sand. She didn't entered the front seat and the taxi moved.

We girls so much love things that are free, no matter what, and the girl was hoping to enjoy the free ride home, but things didn't go that way. According to the girl, the last thing she remembered is sitting in the front seat of the taxi, and then she realized herself standing by the roadside, with her handbag and phone and every other belongings gone. Clearly she has been hypnotized. She was crying uncomfortably, I felt pity for her, it could happen to anyone.

The people there tried to help her contact her family and get home, to avoid her doing anything stupid or brutal to herself. She wasn't in her right frame of mind, such incident can make someone go mad for minutes. As I was walking home, I was thinking, but why will someone ask another person to help carry sand from the ground for him or her. It's doesn't make any sense, but to their charms, it does mean something. It just gets to show that free things should cloud your sense of reasoning. Me? Carry sand from the ground? For you? Hmm, not possible.

Disheartening Blackout

Disheartening Blackout
We had been enjoying a constant and very reliable electric current for the past few months, and I did not know why calamity decided to visit my region. Just yesterday evening, as I was about to set my bed for sleep, the lights began to shake. They blinked multiple times and then went off completely.

Wondering what was happening, I rushed outside to see if someone was tampering with the wires or if something else had gone wrong. To my surprise, I discovered that not only was our house without power, but also several nearby compounds were in the same situation. Only a few houses still had their lights on.

We all wondered what was wrong. Within the next couple of minutes, the entire vicinity was thrown in darkness. The power had shut off completely, and not a song house had light.
I slept in darkness that night hoping for light but when morning finally arrived, we learned that the electrical system had been damaged and so we contacted the regional manager, hoping for a swift resolution to our plight. He was sounded surprised and replied that they were already working on it, but till now; we haven't seen electricity.

The Snake Bite

The snake bit the hen, and with the poison burning in her body, she sought refuge in her henhouse.
But the other hens preferred to expel her so that the poison would not spread.
The hen limped away, crying in pain. Not because of the bite, but because of the abandonment and contempt of her own family at the time when she needed them most.
So she left... burning with fever, dragging one of her legs, vulnerable to the cold nights.
With each step, a tear fell.
The hens in the henhouse watched her go away, watching her disappear on the horizon. Some said to each other:
— Let her go... She will die far from us.
And when the hen finally vanished into the immensity of the horizon, they were all sure that she had died.
Some even looked at the sky, hoping to see vultures flying.
Time passed.
Much later, a hummingbird came to the henhouse and announced:
— Your sister is alive! She lives in a cave far away from here.
She recovered, but lost a leg from the snake bite.
She has trouble finding food and needs your help.
There was silence. Then the excuses began:
— I can't go, I'm laying eggs...
— I can't go, I'm looking for corn...
— I can't go, I have to take care of my chicks...
So, one by one, they all refused the request. The hummingbird returned to the cave without help.
Time passed again.
Much later, the hummingbird returned, but this time with painful news:
— Your sister has passed away... She died alone in the cave... There is no one to bury her or mourn her.
At that moment, a weight fell on everyone. A deep lament filled the henhouse.
Those who were laying eggs stopped.
Those who were looking for corn left the seeds.
Those who were caring for the chicks forgot about them for a moment.
Regret hurt more than any poison. Why didn't we go before?, they asked themselves.
And without measuring the distance or the effort, they all set off for the cave, crying and lamenting. Now they had a reason to see her, but it was too late.
When they got to the cave, they didn't find the hen... They only found a letter that said:
"In life, many times people don't cross the street to help you when you're alive, but they cross the world to bury you when you die.
And most of the tears at funerals are not from pain, but from remorse and regret."...

The Regular Classwork

The Regular Classwork
There is the particular lecturer that loves giving class work, which is to be done in a 20 leaves exercise book and submitted right there in the class. The book is to be used for all the class works he will give, and will serve as the continuous assessment at the end of the semester. And for this reason, no one dared to miss his class, I have never missed the class, of course you don't want a mark to pass you by, and so seriousness is vital.

The class work the lecturer gave, I couldn't finish the work on time, because of the limited time that was given, I had to submit like that and the result was very poor. It was our first time, and we learnt we had to be fast while getting the classwork done. I had to read and study ahead of what will be taught in the next class, so that I won't waste much time when the class work is given. That's to show that I was willing to make a big difference this time.

The next class came, and as usual, the lecturer gave us class work, and since I went there prepared, I didn't waste must time doing it. I finished early, and compared my work with my coursemate that sat close to me, I was sure that I was correct, to the extent I was even making corrections for my coursemate. As usual, the lecturer told the course rep to go round and collect all the exercise book. I closed my book and was ready to submit it.

The course rep got to where I was seated, and collected from the people that sat close to me, he suddenly got distracted when he was about to get my book, he turned to look at something, and by the time he turned back to me, he refused to collect my book, saying he has passed my seat already. I was shocked, I have never had any problem with the guy before, so I wondered why he did what he did. I called out to him again, and he refused to answer me.

I walked up to the front where he was handing over the books to the lecturer, but the lecturer returned me to my seat, refusing to collect my classwork. I was very angry why the course rep did such a thing to me. Immediately after the class, I confronted the course rep and asked why he did what he did, he said I should not be angry, that he didn't see me. I didn't believe him, someone that replied me is now denying not to have seen me.

I was still pained by what he did, and so I avoided him. Classwork was given again in the next class, I did it and made sure I submitted it this time. Surprisingly, after it was marked, and the course rep brought the book back to us, the lecturer had marked the previous classwork that I didn't submit, and graded me the full mark, together with the current work, something I didn't expect. I was very happy. Since everything was now fixed, I decided to let my beef with the course rep go, hopefully he won't repeat such again.

Knowledge Is Still Power

Knowledge Is Still Power
I came across some freshers (newly admitted year one students) in school today, and what I heard them go through was just too much. Right from the day I entered the university, I have always done all the online printouts and processes by myself, so I have the full knowledge of how to do everything, including payment of school fees. The only money the cyber cafe has gotten from me is printing money.

Today I met some freshers lamenting about the bulky fee they are to pay, to get started with the university. The owners of those cyber cafes should be driving in SUVs, if actually they are extorting that much from students. They told the freshers to do online clearance of 7k, but there is nothing like online clearance in our university, it's just a format to get free 7,000 naira from freshers. Also acceptance fee of 4,500 naira, but also there is no acceptance fee in the university.

Also, Jamb admission letter of 4,500 naira, but the money to be paid on the portal to jamb is not mor thank 2,000 naira and some minor charges, so why charge that much. Also, Jamb original result of 4,500 naira, but on the portal, it's not more than 2,000 naira. Through means like this and other numerous means, they have extorted more than enough from the innocent and fearful freshers. I think I was the only exception, because I did everything by myself, so I never needed their services.

I told the freshers that there is nothing like acceptance fee and online clearance in the university, and that they only needed to print the jamb admission letter and original result, and then generate remita to pay school fees next. I offered to help them do all those things right there without charging them, they didn't trust me, so they refused. The native freshers believed so much in the cyber cafe guys, and preferred the extortion way.

I left them and went my way, immediately I got home, my neighbors gisted me about how three freshers were scammed by a cyber cafe. The cyber cafe collected almost 200,000 naira from the three of them to pay their school fees, but they didn't pay the school fees, and the innocent freshers didn't know. On finding out some days later that the fees wasn't paid, they went back to the cyber cafe, but couldn't find anyone. Just because the people don't have any knowledge of what is to be done, they have capitalized on it and extorted excess from them. Knowledge is power, it's not a lie. In life, even if it doesn't concern you, or it's not your field, just try and know little about it, it will help you.

Greed: An Ugly Pathway

Last Saturday was declared a sanitation day in the compound I live, one of the tenants, a guy had been appointed by the landlord, to be in charge of the sanitation of the compound. So the guy is literally the one to fix the date for the compound cleaning, and anyone who doesn't participate in the cleanup will be fined. Even with the fact that I got home late that Friday night, I still had to make sure that I was involved in the cleanup.

We decided to fill and level the road in front of the compound, there were too many pot holes, rainwater became stagnant there, often producing unpleasant smells. As we were filling up the place, one of our neighbors who drives that road decided to appreciate us, and brought us some amount of money and a bottle of alcoholic drink. The tenant in charge of the sanitation collected the money and the drink went round.

I was expecting him to use part of the money and buy juice, for people like me that don't drink alcohol, but the guy started behaving somehow. He started saying that with or without any money, the cleanup would have still been done, that the money should be forgotten about. The other tenants disagreed with him and told him that it's a different case, someone appreciated the whole compound with the money, and it's not right for him to make away with it, just because he's the one in charge.

At the end, it led to a serious quarrel, and fight almost broke out, before the guy angrily remitted the money. The money was just 5k, in my mind I was wondering why a guy like that will behave in such a way, even with people that are older than him. The money was meant for everybody and he wanted it all for himself, how? Why? The guy is bigger than 5k, he just a bed frame, and a brand new foam, and using iPhone 11, he's rich, yet he still wanted to rob the masses of just 5k.

I fear human beings, just so full of greed and not contented no matter what they have. And if this type of person should enter a political office, you can imagine the tragedy, everybody were very displeased with the way he behaved. The money was sha used to buy meat and cook pepper for everybody.

MARRIED FOLKS

Last night, my husband accidentally knocked a wine glass over and it smashed to pieces on the floor. I wasn’t there to see him do it but I heard the crash. He proceeded to clean up and checked for pieces and after being satisfied that he’d got every piece he went to bed for the night.

Now, I tend to get up and do random things at night around the house, so I got up and went to the laundry room. As I went through the kitchen, I saw a couple of pretty nice size pieces of glass.
Honestly, my first response was irritation… I mean it seemed so careless, and what if one of the boys would have gotten up and gone to the kitchen and stepped on a shard? I was becoming increasingly upset when I heard in my spirit a voice of correction saying,” Aren’t you the helpmeet?”

With this rhetorical question I understood that I should be glad that I was up to pick up what he missed. I re-swept the floor and began moving things around incase pieces had managed to ricochet off somewhere else. I found quite a few.

This is marriage. Our spouses may not always get it right even with their very best efforts, but a true helpmeet sees where there is lack and makes up the difference.

It’s not always time to complain, sometimes it’s time complete.

Green shorts

I've been noticing my neighbor for quite some time now. For nearly two weeks, he’s been wearing these same shorts, day in and day out. He’s a good friend, and I’ve tried to advise him told him it would be a good idea to wash them at least once. But he just won’t do it. He wears those shorts to run errands, to the school to pick up things, and even to meet his lecturer. It seems like there’s nothing he hasn’t done while wearing them, and the fact that he hasn’t washed them still amazes me.

It makes me reflect on the kind of people we’re fostering in this community. What values are we instilling in one another? It saddens me to see individuals, particularly younger ones, who don’t prioritize hygiene or personal maintenance. It feels like there’s a lack of awareness or appreciation for self-care, and I can’t help but wonder how this affects the community as a whole. Sometimes, it’s these small habits that reveal so much about a person’s values and upbringing.

There’s a saying that men are dirty, and while I’ve always found that hard to believe, this particular guy is testing my patience. I’ve tried to advise him countless times because we’re close friends, but he just wouldn’t budge. It’s like he has this attachment to those same green shorts that he wears day in and day out morning, afternoon, and night.

Honestly, if you happen to see any guy walking around in green shorts, it might just be him. If you do, feel free to call out to him and ask if his name is Kingsley. He could very well be the one I’m talking about. I just wish he’d realize how off-putting this is and take the simple step of washing his clothes. It’s baffling and a little concerning, especially seeing how it reflects on personal care and hygiene. It's a reminder of how important it is to take pride in ourselves and our appearance, not just for our sake but for those around us as well.

wasn′t a problem until now

wasn′t a problem until now
Today, I was supposed to cook dinner, but I just didn’t have the energy to prepare anything. So, I decided to go to a restaurant for some food. I wanted to enjoy fried rice and chicken. It sounded perfect for the night.

As I was about to pay for my meal, I found out that the ATM machine wasn’t accepting any cards. I felt a bit worried because I didn’t have cash. The only options were to find a nearby ATM to withdraw money or to make a transfer with my phone. But, unfortunately, I didn’t have my phone with me.

Just as I was thinking of leaving to find an ATM, I heard someone call my name from behind. It was an old friend! He had also come to the restaurant to get food. We hugged and shared some nice pleasantries.

After chatting for a bit, my friend surprised me by saying he would pay for both our meals, even though I didn't ask him to. I felt grateful and happy. It was such a kind gesture on his part.

With my friend covering the bill, I was able to enjoy my dinner without any stress. We sat down together, talked about old times, and enjoyed our meal. It turned out to be a lovely evening after all

finding freedom and love

finding freedom and love
For three months, a nice guy had been asking me out. I liked him, but I was already in a relationship that was not good. Even though I felt unhappy, I did not want to hurt my current boyfriend by breaking up with him. I stayed in the relationship, hoping things would get better.

I noticed that I stopped reaching out to my boyfriend. It felt like I was pulling away, but deep down, I knew I was unhappy. My boyfriend was still trying hard to make things work, but we had many differences. I realized I didn’t want to be with someone like him anymore.

One day, my boyfriend called me. He said he couldn’t keep trying to make the relationship work. I could hear the sadness in his voice. When he decided to end things, I felt as though I'm about to lose something special but on a second that thought this was all I have wanted and as a matter of fact I initiated the process.

Now that I was single, I felt free and hopeful. There was another guy who had been very interested in me. He treated me kindly and seemed ready to do anything for my happiness. I started to think that maybe he could be the right person for me.

I took a deep breath and decided it was time to say yes to a new relationship. I smiled at the thought of starting fresh with someone who truly cared for me. It felt like a new beginning, and I was excited for what was to come.

Nemesis

Nemesis
I was curious about what he was doing sitting there in the dark, so I approached him to find out. As I got closer, I realized he was taking some black dust and putting it into his nose. My heart sank as I processed what I was seeing. This was a young boy, probably no older than 16, and his name was Thiago.

“What could possibly drive him to this?” I wondered, a mix of concern and disbelief washing over me. I decided to pull out my flashlight, hoping to get a clearer view of the substance in his palm. The beam illuminated what I feared: he was into drugs. It wasn’t just any substance; it was tobacco, and he was stuffing it into his nose in large quantities.

Feeling a surge of urgency, I called out to him, repeating his name three times, each time slightly louder. “Thiago! Thiago! What are you doing?"

He looked up, but his gaze was distant, as if he were somewhere far away. His head hung low, and he waved at me twice, the smoke coming from his mouth curling into the air. “This life," he said softly, almost resigned.

He tried to talk but the words wouldn't come. He tried for a second time and yet I couldn't make out a thing from what he was saying.
"I lost my school fees to betting" he managed to say after several minutes of waiting.

Casted 419 Move

Few days ago, I took a taxi to somewhere to buy some items I was in need of, when I entered into the hands of some 419s. I've been hearing of how they operate, but that was my first encounter, everything I heard about them played out exactly the same. Being fully aware of the tactics, I followed them up in a very calm manner, they were frustrated in the end. I know they were not expecting it, but, it is what it is.

I came out to the junction to meet a taxi waiting for passengers, the driver asked if I was gonna board the taxi and I replied with a nod. There was one young lady at the back, and a guy at the front. Immediately I entered, another passenger, a guy entered after me, and the taxi moved. On our way, this people sparked up a conversation, I maintain the mood I always maintain while boarding a vehicle, and that is to be silent.

They were talking and laughing, and even tried to initiate me into the conversation, I refused to let a single word out of me. It wasn't long when the guy in front, started talking about how he is looking for where to change dollars into naira. A very popular tactics by this fraudsters, I knew the situation I was in, and decided to be calm and let everything play out. I pretended not to even hear what they were saying, and very busy with my phone.

I noticed how the driver was looking at me through the mirror, I'm sure they were pissed off already. They are rumored to be with charms, that will only work on you, when you reply to whatever they are saying. If I never believed it before, the guy that was talking about dollars has proven it to be true. When they couldn't get me to talk, even concerning the dollar matter, the taxi stopped, and the driver said he's not going my way again, and that I should go down.

I went down jejely, the driver looked at me and cursed me while zooming off, I laughed. Such a very popular method has been casted, they should better go and find a legal work to do. I escaped in a majestic manner.

The Blind Run

The Blind Run
Just the other day, I was running late for class, I was very late, despite that I tried my best, I still couldn't meet up on time. So I had no choice than to run from my house, down to where I was going to enter a shuttle inside the school. It was on a hot afternoon, I was started sweating before I could finish dressing because of how much I was in a hurry. The run had to be very fast, else, I will be more late than expected.

I was surprised to run into a dog that was sleeping on the road, while I was still navigating my way out of my street. The dog woke immediately and began to run away, thinking it was under an attack. It was very funny, I laughed, the dog was in a deep sleep, the eyes were red, and I'm sure it was running for it's life, with sleep in it's eyes. But then, the run didn't stop, I still had to get to class on time, I kept moving.

The dog ran ahead of me, and in the next few meters, there was an uncompleted building, with two guys sitting in front, with substance in their hand, that I think it was weed. Immediately they saw me running towards them, they left what they were doing and ran away with full speed. Believe me I was running fast, in their mind, it must be police officers that are after me, and they ran even without seeing anything after me.

I wanted to call out to them and tell them that no one is pursuing me, but then they looked rough and could have beaten the hell out of me for scaring them, so I continued my run quietly, while they ran and branched unknown destinations. I could not hold my laugh, it was very funny. It's only a guilty man that runs when nothing is pursuing him, so they deserved the 'run for your life's incident.

Got to class with my clothes soaked in sweats, and the funny incident didn't leave my head even for a second. 'Dogs and humans run in a blind battle to save their lives', that would have made a top headline if there were drones covering the event. Me that was innocently running to class, guilty beings were busy running too. Chai!

Deadline Rush

I have an exam in just two days, and the reality hit me hard today that I haven't even opened my books for over a month. As the days went by, I was simply walking around, wasting time, and now the deadline is fast approaching. I haven't done any proper studying, and I could feel the pressure building up as the exam gets closer.

In the early hours of today, I realized I needed to change something fast. I grabbed my books, packed them into my bag, and headed straight to school. I decided I wouldn't come back home until the next day, committing myself to stay on campus and focus. My plan is to study as much as I can today and leave the last day for revision.

This last-minute study method is risky, and I know it can be very costly. It’s not ideal, and it’s not something I’m proud of. But it has somehow become my pattern over time. The pressure always seems to push me into this cycle of cramming right before the exam, even though I know it's not the best approach.

I’m hoping that with this intense focus over the next couple of days, I can still cover enough material to feel prepared. It's a tough situation, but I have no other choice now but to push through and make the best of it. Let’s hope I can pull it off before the big day arrives.

Cashless problems

Recently, I’ve been dealing with so many frustrating issues, especially with banking services. It feels like the whole system is under some kind of pressure because transactions are failing left and right. Payment services have been poor, and it's affecting basic things we do every day. It’s hard to tell if this problem is with just one bank or all of them, but it’s been stressful.

One of the worst experiences happened when I went to buy gas for my cooking cylinder not far from my place. I had some cash on me and my ATM card, thinking I’d be fine either way. After bargaining with the gas seller, I decided to pay with my card to save the cash I had. The card transaction failed, but to my surprise, I was debited. I explained this to the seller and asked him to give it some time, hoping I’d get a refund, but nothing came through.

To make matters worse, I decided to try a transfer using USSD. I thought it would save the situation, but it only made things worse. The same thing happened; another debit on my account, but the seller didn’t get credited. At this point, I had two failed transactions hanging, and I was out of cash. Luckily, the man knows me, and he trusted me enough to let me go. He told me to come back when the money is refunded, which was a huge relief.

Thankfully, both refunds came through a few minutes ago, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore. Tomorrow, I plan to try again, and I can only hope it won’t be another waste of time. These issues with banks need to be sorted out quickly because they’re making life unnecessarily difficult.

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.

Narrow Slaughter Escape

So I met someone today, who told me about how he escaped being slaughtered, not by his own power, but a clear intervention from God. It's been a while since I heard about incidents like this, but it's a proof that God still exists. I nearly shedded tears, he was the only one to make it out, the others couldn't. The incident itself has the power to traumatize anybody regardless, being that close to death, and even saying your last prayers and then you're set free.

According to this guy, he was traveling home last December for Christmas, when the driver diverted and took a road that no one in the bus had an idea of, and gave silly and petty excuses that didn't really make sense. The passengers didn't see it as a big deal, and kept cool. Until the driver stopped at a certain place where there was no house in sight, some armed thugs came out from the bush, and marched all of them to a shrine. The driver knew about this.

The guy said they met other people at the shrine, tied up mercilessly; ropes all round the body from head to toe, they were tied up too. The more touching part is that they were being slaughtered, one after the other, in front of all of them. The native doctor will say some incantation on a person before being slaughtered, the guy narrated how tears flowed in his eyes like a river, very hot tears. Watching someone being slaughtered, and helplessly waiting for your turn.

The guy said his phone was seized and used to video the incident, at this point, you are certain that it's your last moment on earth. This killers are obviously dealers of human part, because they made calls to tell the person on the other end that their order was ready. But when it was his turn, the native doctor after saying the incantation, said that the juju has rejected him, and so he should be freed and returned to where he was picked.

The native doctor asked which church he worships in, and told him to stick to his God very well. His belongings were returned to him, including his phone that was used to video the incident, and the native doctor told the thugs to make sure not to leave even a scratch on the guy's body. And that is how death that was staring at his face turned and left. The guy doesn't even know where the place is, he continued his journey to his home. He testified in church, it's a big testimony, it was God that saved him. He showed us the video in his phone, it looks like the end of the world is near.

Gas Explosion: Avoidable Or Not?

Gas Explosion: Avoidable Or Not?
Most people do have this belief that the end of a year, and the beginning of a year is meant to be accompanied by tragic incidents, that will claim lives and leaving shocking damages, so it seems, but there are ones that can be avoided. There is this man I normally fill my gas cylinder with, he also welds and repairs fridges and cylinders with leakages. He made top headlines of recent, people say it's manipulation from the spirit realm, I'm not sure of what it is.

On the first week of January, 2025, this man as usual went about his normal business of filling and repairing gas cylinders. His workplace is right in front of house. I don't know what he was thinking, but he welded a cylinder that is filled up with gas, and you know the implications. The cylinder exploded, fire surged through all that premises and killed three people instantly; the owner of the cylinder who is a teenage girl, a man and his son in their shop close by.

The man himself didn't die, but was burnt badly, including his wife and son, the fire caught up anything that was around that place, including house. As at now, the wife and son are still at the hospital, the man is undergoing medical treatment under police custody. Because of it, all roadside gas fillers in this region has been banned for now, till further notice. People's opinion on the matter are much, with some saying it's carelessness, spiritual manipulation, tragic incident that comes with a new year.

I feel pity for the man, no one will do such a thing a purpose, it was a mistake, a costly one. But come to think of it, how will someone with many years experience of filling and repairing cylinders, make such an expensive mistake, that's where people draw their view of spiritual manipulation. Everyone knows that a filled cylinder shouldn't be exposed to fire, but the owner of the cylinder went to weld it, was she manipulated too? You see you can't really say exactly what it is, you can only give opinion.

The more reason you need to start the year with God, and end the year with God. Carefulness, diligence and knowledge about things we deal with still remains the watch word in everything we do, and with God fully involved, I don't think we will have things go wrong like this. I strongly believe that this incident could have been avoided.

Visit to Kanji

Visit to Kanji
I explored the area around the Nigerian Kanji Dam, the well-known electric dam in Naija It wasn't very close, but it was in the vicinity of my school, and I had never visited or seen how it worked. Today, I went on a little trip with three friends to check it out.

We took a vehicle that brought us straight to the entrance. After making the necessary arrangements and chatting with the security personnel, they ushered us in and gave us some instructions on how to behave. We paid a small fee and then entered the dam area. We found a good spot and admired the impressive concrete structure.

The structure of the dam was massive, and we stood in awe, looking at the waterfalls. There was a designated area nearby where people could play and have fun in the water, though it was a bit farther from the main dam. This spot was perfect for tourists who wanted to enjoy the beauty of the waterfall.

Unfortunately, we hadn't prepared for swimming or getting wet, so we could only watch, wishing we could dive in or magically produce our swimming suits. But our main purpose was to explore the area around our school, and we hadn't planned for swimming.

Afterall, it was a remarkable experience and a great sight to see. I encourage everyone to visit the Kanji Dam and see what generates electricity for your country.
