Then you saw someone you may like, you thought there might be something there, you took a chance, you tried to get to know that person, really know them, it worked, you made it official,you met the parents, you got engaged, then married and you had babies. It was a simple story of boy meets girl and they fall in love.



These days, you see someone you may like, you think there might be something there, you take a chance, you stop and wonder if you are ready for it, or if this means you have to stop talking to the multiple people you are currently talking to.

What if you find someone more successful? Or better looking? Or richer?

You overanalyze, you scrutinize everything to where you forget why it all started.

You let them go and move on in hopes of finding someone better or until you are“ready” to settle down.







Then, even though you were fighting, you still talked to each other; you made plans together, ate together, and were there for each other until you made up.

You communicated and discussed how you can make it work, how you could avoid this situation in the future, and you reassured each other that everything will be OK, it’s just a fight, it happens.


Now, you fight, you tell yourself this wouldn’t have happened if you were dating X or Y, you decide to teach them a lesson and dismiss their calls and messages for 3 days, a week, a month, until they learn their lesson.


When you make up, you will still be more guarded, a bit harder, and unwilling to put up with their “drama.”

So you decide to keep your options open again and you try to find someone better, someone less “dramatic,” who could be better looking, more successful or richer.

Texting and chat instead of talking in person.


If your partner pisses you off, you run to post a Facebook status:

“Sometimes people are just so inconsiderate/annoying, Heartbroken.”


Those days, instead of posting your business all over the internet you maturely talk about it.

You realize your problems are between you and him and not you, him, and your social media following.

Those days after writing Waec 4x and waiting for admission.


You are alone at home with your siblings then you start cruising that Dad's favourite ride(Benz 230/300) around your crush's place.

My brother did that and crashed the vehicle with his girlfriend in the car.


He abandoned the car, his girlfriend and fled for 3days

This thing is so cheap today that you start wondering, what's with this generation.






Even the school where I work presently, this thing is so cheap that you meet a lady today, just tell her you’re taking her to Esporta/Polak/Template in the evening and that’s all.


From there, she’s following you home to pass the night.



They demand for ridiculous things, recharge card from 200-400, 1gb data, fish/beef pepper soup/bbq, cow tail/leg pepper soup , asun, suya, Chilled Origin, Smirnoff ice and Redwine.



That’s all it takes, then you bleep till morning when you are out of liquid.



In some institutions located in local towns, you see the local indigenes, bike riders, akoto drivers(Iworoko), aboki suya with half level of secondary education, bleeping some of the hottest babes on campus(Slayqueens) because of what?




I always ask myself then, whyhuh

Even early 2000s you have to try so many time to walk up to a lady, you have to walk kilometers beside her, from one place to another, blowing grammer, trying to ask her out, get her number while she snubs throughout the day.



Today, technology has advanced, some guys will ask girls out and get their digits in 00:59sec.



Guys no dey woo again sef, can I take you out?

Those days of love cards, one of those things you spot first entering a girls’s room them with her guy’s photographs hanging on the wall.

Those days of letter writing, sending the younger brothers to deliver the letters.


The box full of love letters underneath your bed is now the texts you will never delete, even when your storage gets crazy full.




Sneaking around the girl’s house with your best baggy jean and over size tshirt, roaming the street, hoping she will come out to grind pepper or buy maggi.

There were times our great grandmothers were celebrated for keeping or taking their virginity to their husbands’ homes.

The night of the wedding ceremony, both parents, families, friends will be waiting anxiously outside for the good news from the grooms if they met the brides at home(Virgin).

The groom coming out with a blood stained white pieces of cloths means she’s at home, that’s when drinking, eating, music, jubilation will start). If not, that’s the end of the marriage and a big disgrace to the brides’ family in the society then.



Decades later, the tradition passed away.

It changed to the days our grandmothers/mothers dating 1-2 men before finally getting married in their late 20s or early 30s.


Today, things have changed.


Some girls of today, 18-20years old have lost count of guys they’ve slept with.

Foreign AffairsLady Raped And Beheaded In Congo For Serving Forbidden Fish To Rebels (pic) by Explorers(op): 5:42pm On Oct 10, 2017
Woman was raped, whipped and decapitated in front of a cheering crowd before rebels drank her blood because she served fighters 'forbidden' fish


A woman in the Democratic Republic of Congo was publicly raped, whipped and decapitated in front of a cheering crowd after serving 'forbidden fish' to a group of anti-government rebels, who later drank her blood.


Video footage of the execution in Luebo, in the province of Kasaï-Occidental,shows the naked woman being shamed in the town's main square by a group claiming allegiance to the Kamuina Nsapu rebel movement.


While the video was filmed on April 8, 2017, the footage recently emerged after circulating on Whatsapp.


The woman being punished was accused of serving forbidden fish to rebels who visited her restaurant.


'They said she gave them beans that contained pieces of a small, local fish,' a Luebo resident told France 24.


The resident added: 'Convinced that she had broken their protection charms, the council of rebels led by a man named Kabata sentenced both the woman and the son of her husband's second wife (the young man was also working there that day) to commit incest in public.

'The Kamuina Nsapu refrain from having sex, washing themselves and eating meat, fish and other items while fighting, according to Congolese researcher and consultant Anaclet Tshimbalanga.


Following the public rape, rebels executed the woman and the young man, believed to be in his 20s, by beheading them with machetes.

Over the next few days, another 17 perished most from exposure and starvation.


To add to the passengers' rotten luck, they were also hit by an avalanche 16 days after coming down on October 13.







Pictured, a decomposing body lies in snow outside the wreckage of the charted Uruguayan plane.

The event was part of preparations to mark the 45th anniversary of the calamity on Friday.


The 1972 flight had 45 passengers on board, including the Old Christians Club players and their friends and family.


They were flying to Chile to play an amateur rugby game.


Because it could never go ahead, there is now an annual Chile Vs Uruguay match to mark the disaster.


Twelve people died after the plane went down in an isolated spot along the Chile-Argentina border.



Because the survivors had only a few snacks, chocolate bars and bottles of wine, they were forced to eat the flesh of passengers who had died.



They were eventually rescued two days before Christmas, 72 days after the crash when Canessa and Nando Parrado hiked for 10 days before finding help.







They attached a note to a rock during their trek.



It read: 'I come from an airplane that crashed in the mountains.

I am Uruguayan.

We have been walking for about ten days.

Fourteen others remain in the airplane.

They arealso injured.

They don't have anything to eat and cannot leave.

We cannot walk any further.


Please come and get us'

A plane has crashed in Uruguay during an event to remember a plane that crashed in 1972.



There were two men aboard the Piper J-3 light aircraft when it went down near a beachside anniversary barbecue in Montevideo, Uruguay yesterday.



The pilot, Rodrigo Artagaveytia, swam to safety but the co-pilot, Fernando Gonzalez Foreti, has still not been found.



They were marking the infamous Andes flight disaster, when 29 people died on Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 after it crashed in remote mountains.

EducationFederal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti Rampage, This Is What Really Happened(Photos) by Explorers(op): 6:33pm On Oct 08, 2017
ONE POLY STUDENT DIED AFTER DISCHARGE AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE FROM EKSUTH:



The attention of the Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti has been drawn to certain report which has gone viral on the social media and a section of the Press with regard to the alleged death of two students with malaria attack given as the cause of the violent demonstration on Saturday, 7th October, 2017.



However, the truth of the matter was that a student of the institution was reported dead after he had forcibly been discharged against medical advice at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital Ado Ekiti.

The deceased student had reported ILL at the NHIS-Accredited Polytechnic's health centre on Friday, 6 October 2017, got stabilised after which the patient was referred to EkSUTH for further treatment.

Report from the Teaching Hospital on the morning of Saturday, 7th October, 2017 that the patient was forcibly discharged against medical advice and also without the input or knowledge of the Polytechnic about the patient's whereabout.

This was the situation until the alleged death of the student was broken on campus heralding the violent protest with the students going wild with all sorts of lies and burnt down the fully equipped NHIS-Accredited Health Centre, the entrepreneurship and demonstration farms, poultry, fishery etc of the CEDVS as well as the department of Agricultural Technology and Agricultural and Bio Environmental Technology vandalising and looting the poultry, fishery among other damages.



Meanwhile, to facilitate investigation into the gory development, a number of decisions have been taken at a combined meeting of Management and Academic Board held on Sunday 8 October 2017 as follows:



1. Shut down all academic activities and confirmed earlier decision taken by the Rector in sending the students home until further notice:



2. Set up a panel of inquiry to unravel the remote and immediate cause/s of the crises, among other terms of reference.






I was at UTH A&E Dept and was told that the student got to them last night around 7pm with severe chest pain.

He was admitted till this morning when his brother requested for forceful discharge against medical advice.


He was asked to sign and he did.



The student didn't die at UTH, he died while he was being taken away.



The scanned copy of the agreement the brother signed is presented below.
