Prayer of the day! Just say Amin. Oh Allah! You are our creator and we are your slaves, your plan for us is the best despite given us free wills to have ours, you know us more than we know ourselves, you know the obvious and the hidden, you know the present and the past, you know all the names in funaab second admission list, for we do not know anything hidden, please our lord, let our name be inclusive, let our plan concide with that you have for us, let your glory manifest in our admission testiminies. Oh ALLAH! You are the only one that knows,hear and see the black leg of a black ant on the black rock in the dark night, you know our heart and our wishes, we bow before you and you alone we pray onto, please hear our cries and let us rise to glorify you the more with smiles on our lips. Thanks you the lord of the universe. 2 Likes |

You revive my hope again, thanks bros. Thus my faith is strong about the admission but most time when the admission suspense lingered in my brain, I got weary. And anytime I clicked on the thread on my phone to read peoples comments on the admission process, and read something like. Guy you need long leg to be admitted, sigh, quo pro quo, and if I remembered the way I loss the admission last year, I will felt shocked,my mind will trembled and fatigue will cover me up. No sooner that all these happened, than I realiazed the admission thought and fear of loosing again had occupied lager part of me... I became less productive, can't write my daily article on my facebook group page, no inspiration to write poems as usual, everyday look dark and tomorrow seems a thousand years to come, can't focus on prayer anymore, only to be in deep thought about funaab admission, will I still wait for another 365 days to come? What next will I do if this admission did not click, yes am working but it's not about work, rather about my dream. I have to start something meaningful. To erase all these. I have to delete my acct on nairaland and take a bold step to search for what will give me succur. For God so great, i found my love, gues who? A book tilled take the risk by ben carson,after I finished reading the book while at work, I read about a book event on google search, coming up in lagos titled " Lagos book and art festival" I delibrately volunteer to paticipate in organising this event, I knew if I did, it will reduce my thinking about funaab admission, if not totally erase it. Thank God the program is still ongoing and I'm paticipating, meeting writers and literature genius everyday of the event make me come back alive. Thus, I still expect good news from funaab as my hope is still strong in Allah. My advice to rkarang, if you are someone like me,who only have Funaab as option, pls go out there, find something that interest you the most, that can keep you at poise in thinking about funaab admission, although, que cera cera, but we just have to hope in God. We shall all smile and give testimony of our own admission into funaab too in couple of days to this time, as other member on this first list of funaab and other schools have did. Yours sincerely Usuf.saeed. 1 Like |

Exactly like me, thus i haven't live long on earth just two decade and a few years, but have been drawn into several great adventure of book, I'm once taken away into illusion of fictions, after reading some fiction novels and i start acting as the protagonist in the book. i never realized that am a book nerd. in my junior secondary school days, i had read a lot and have the unending passion for literature, from among the book i read were. Akin the drummer boy, Ade our naughty little brother, the dark forest, boomerang, peace by peaces, sugar girl, Eze goes to school,the vanguard and many more. despite my school rules that the best five junior school pupils are automatic science department student, i never rest in my oars in read, i am addicted, as i read science books yet i read literature. the women of owu is among my favorite, the macbeth, oliver twist, echo of hard time and lot more, now am running a reading group. which i will tell you more about soon. |
I had read most of the novels they handled from juniour to senior school by co-incidence. 
Buh am totally glad I read those books I read though I stopped reading novels especially romance plus I was displeased with the stereotype theory that girls read novelz more bcoz of how fragile they were and would want to create a comfort nook for themselves by reading and believing fantasies and fictions!Though I noticed girls actually read more 
.Though I felt it was the same with watching movies too much entertainment coz am also a couch potato! Nothing would compare to the luxury of living in a totally different world as I did den! 
This ain a guys' hub is it?!
