Reading is not fun and we all know it, except it has become habit. What is fun about reading is that we are doing what is not fun to many and we love it. What is more fun about reading is that it opens new ways of creative thinking to us, it empowers you with the authority to speak and be heard, the public want to listen to readers because there are great contents in what they say. Your speeches are accompanied with wisdom. Now, I want to let out little secret that has enabled me consume 16 non academic books between May – December 2015. First, I never knew that I could become a fervent lover of literature not until last year. Most times that I read randomly, I could spend 2 months on a book, open and close syndrome was my greatest enemy. Anything that you practice for more than 3 months becomes a habit without a fuss. Top of my tips are; .  1• ZEAL: I know right in my brain that I want to grant interviews to popular broadcasting corporations across the globe, I want to air my vi...

Hello friends, I will be sharing my experience and lessons on achieving the dream career of my choice amidst challenges. I will also share various ways you can enhance yourself and improve your skills. In the course of my write-up, I will touch on making the best decision amidst challenges, skills on how to become a good Apprentice, career progression, personal fulfilment and investments.

Show me a man who is financially faithful, trustworthy, reliable, dependable, and I 'll show you a man who can be entrusted. Such a man shall abound with blessings. A long time ago, my mother told me a story of what normally happened in their time, when a young lady was to be married. They'd send the young lady on a visit to her prospective fiancé 's house. The man could scatter money under his bed and drop some in hidden places. Then he'd ask the young lady to sweep the house. While sweeping, she'd come across this money. She may decide to take this money, believing that the man forgot them or didn't know there were in those nooks. She 'll package and arrange them, thinking she has found money. Once the fiancé discovers it, she'll send the lady back to her father and let him know his daughter was not marriage-able because she was a thief. The same happens even to apprentices. There are many people who close the door of the future because of one illega...

Did I tell you about my last year July's birthday? It was awesome! It was the next best thing after Agbarumo. I have had great birthday moments, but the one I had last July was breathtaking!!! It was awesome! I'm not the birthday-birthday type. I've only had a huge birthday once before. It was few years past, when my july birthday coincided with the week I wrote my final exam, and finally graduated from school. It was like a graduation/birthday party. Since most students at school as at then also wrote their last paper that week, my birthday party became a sort of general graduation party for all. As it happened, a new hotel was opened within the same month close to my hostel. So, as part of a public relations effort to advertise and create awareness for the new hotel, they offered their pool-side for my birthday celebration: free of charge! I invited my friends, and they invited theirs, and theirs invited theirs, and before you could say jack, my birthday party be...

The Fear Of Autumn (Uguru) The early morning cold breeze whooshed and caressed my bare body recklessly sprawled on a turgid cot. Sending frigid sensation down my frailed spine. I got myself deeply buried in my duvet neatly placed at the edge of my bed, yet I can still feel the cold breeze soothing and smooching as it blew through my shrivelled-frail head. My jaws tightened, teeth clenched, blood stifle, stomach protruding, shoulder shuddering and lips constantly shaking to the rhythmic rhymes of Sisco. Briskly, I sprang off, grasped and jumped inside my turtle-neck- winter-coat. Just in a twinkle of an eye , it vanished with the speed of light. (c) Bob Ugee.
