PRODIGAL SON

PRODIGAL SON He looked down at his legs, at his belly, extended his hands sideways and looked at them by turns. It was covered by cement mixture and dust. “Uchenna”, he hummed with reverence, with wonder. How did I get here? “ Nobody wey no fit to make am oooh” sang Ibrahim from a distance. Uchenna turned to look at Ibrahim. There was something fascinating about the man. He noticed how the man kept working, supplying blocks, mixing water and cement with joy. He admired the way Ibrahim carried out his work diligently as if his very life depends on the work. Surely! His life depends on the work. The daily pay of one thousand naira that he had to take home to his wife and six children. How did eight of them live in a single room. Are the rats? The thought of it caused him biliousness. He counted the numbers with his fingers like how nursery children did when learning figures. One, two, three, four, five, six…, that man is a strong man fa. He smiled to himself. “ Make una

Marijuana Cures: 10 Major Diseases You Never Knew Cannabis Could Fight Whenever we hear the words marijuana, Indian hemp, cannabis, or some other names for which it is known, what comes straight to our mind is smoking, and our faces become distorted. We believe its one of the abhorred things in the society, something that should never be discussed with pleasantness and freedom. We all forget that weeds are one of the green herbs created by God, and that everything God made or gave us is good and for our own benefit. The problem in the case of Indian hemp is just that it is being misused and abused. There are a lot of rightful and very beneficial uses of marijuana that have never crossed the minds of many people. This explains why some countries in recent times have legalized or are considering legalizing the use of cannabis.

The term RAG day which many of us while in school and out of school don't know means: "Raising And Giving Day". Raising And Giving Rag day is traditionally an activity centred on raising funds for the less privileged in the society. Though, there are divergent views as to where the term "Rag" originated but it is thought to be from the Victorian era when students took time out from their studies to collect rags to clothe the poor. Since then, rag day has since been adopted throughout the institutions across the globe.

OBLIVION 3 Alas they got to their destination, two women pounded yam furiously in a large mortar in front of Iya Gold’s bar. (MADAM GOLD FOR DELICIOS FOOD, BREKFAST, LUNCH AND DINER, said the signboard). A hole-riddled curtain of silk partially concealed the interior from the curious outside eye. Cigarette smoke was everywhere accompanied with lewd music. The smell of alcohol was all over the atmosphere. Men and women making out in dark corners. This was Sodom itself. Her legs were beginning to feel like lead-weights, and she ached painfully in all the joints. “Come inside” the girl had beckoned on Bimpe, helping her with the bag. Bimpe hesitated a little bit. Little did she know that stepping into that enclave her life would never remain the same.

MEMO TO MR PRESIDENT By Charles Ogbu Mr President Sir, Muhammadu Buhari GCFR is the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. At  the 2018 Annual Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association. This memo is necessitated by issues of urgent national importance not unconnected with your statement at the Annual Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association where you told a gathering of eminent judges and lawyers that the rule of law is not supreme and could be set aside in the interest of National interest and Security. When I watched you read that statement with a straight face, I was tempted to simply pause and die crying. Crying at the sight of a democratically elected President trying so hard to destroy that same democracy in a way and manner that is brazenly blatant. I'm tempted to ask, Mr President, who defines what constitutes National interest? You? With due respect, Mr President, in a democracy, that statement of yours is as atrocious as it is criminally offensive
