(and the words it spews) This is unlike my other write-ups, because the crux of its discussion is unique from others, and in fact I have hardly come across a write up that specifies on this topic (THE TONGUE). Little attention has been paid to this topic because it doesn’t appear to be worth discussing, or perhaps it doesn’t have any influence in our daily affairs (according to our own subjective thinking). Whether it’s worth discussing or not, let’s sit back and learn a few things here….. The tongue as has been described by Oxford dictionary is the soft part in the mouth that moves around, used for tasting, swallowing, speaking, etc…… One pathetic fact about our view in lieu of the functions of the tongue, even in the academic sector is that more attention has been placed on the tasting and swallowing function, and therefore shun its speaking function or place less preference on it. How many seminars or religious lectures have you attended, and the crux o...

There are three stages man is made to experience during his earthly sojourn – The Past, The Present and The Future. We live and enjoy our present situations, we enthusiastically anticipate the future and all the good things that is to come and for the past, it’s a whole different story. Everyone has a past in which we have had several experiences – for some of us our past is so glamorous, glittering and interesting that people are always mesmerized to listen to its tales because your deed in it was what led to your present blissful condition. But for some of us, our past experience is a complete doom and darkness. We were made to experience recurrent calamities of varying magnitude that almost tears us apart. The disappointment some of us had in the past jolted us so badly that we lost our happiness and sometimes causes us to plunge ourselves into a depressive memory mode. Our past is so full of shackles that even in the present situation, we still nurture the...

(When a bolt suddenly pops out from the Head) Mankind by nature has been created with emotions, and as far as I know, these emotions of his appear to be the most difficult thing for him to control. His lack of strength over his emotions sometimes proves to be the reason behind his emotional collapse – which he may later live to regret. One of those core aspects of man’s emotional state is RAGE – which is an expression of anger. It drives a Man from mild irritation to intense fury – his body mobilizes to fight, leaving his hands and lips trembling, with some sprinkle of sweat on his forehead, his heart beats 3* faster and the muscles in his face is locked in a scowl. This is ANGER in a summarized paragraph…….. We all have limits to our emotional endurance which varies at different proportion – I may not feel bogged at what gets you ANGRY. And what gets me angry may not sound worth it to your ears. But the gist of it all is that we all get ANGRY....... ...

THE SPREAD OF INDECENCIES AND IMMORALITIES IN OUR SOCIETY Let me begin by saying - there is fire on the Mountain but I don’t see anyone running because perhaps we can’t see the fire or we just don’t care about it. Indecency and immorality is the crux of discussion this write up entails because of its prevalence in our society and our lackadaisical approach in tackling it. These dirty acts is mostly found among the new generation of youths who claim to be exposed - and on rare cases, even those who claim to be pious among them are also found guilty as well (although it might be minimal). Indecency and Immorality did not just pop up in a day, it started just like a seed that is planted and nurtured to grow into a giant tree. The source of these dirty acts can be traced directly into the various homes of every individual whose parents or guardians do not concern themselves with their affairs. You will agree with me that a child let loose becomes a prey of eve...

Promise as it is popular proclaimed is a DEBT – I’ve always wondered what similarity is there between a Promise and a Debt. As a student of Finance, my knowledge of what a Debt means is when you have an obligation or commitment hanging on your neck. Sorry I had to be academic a bit. The effect of Debt in the life of a debtor is usually a devastating one. It could steal his happiness; everything will seem out of focus for him, his smile is indicative of how sorrowful he is, it could also lead some folks to commit suicide because they just can’t afford being branded a DEBTOR. So, how can a thing as scary as Debt be likened to an act you and I take for granted on a daily basis (PROMISE) Let’s delve deeply into the mystery behind making promises and see if it’s truly a DEBT as it is popularly conceived. Promise is said to be when you have assured someone of a thing at a specified date. (My own definition). The one whom you have promised then places all his hop...

Most times, during the pursuit of our dreams and aspirations, we all become increasingly overwhelmed with ecstasy of joy especially when things start to turn out fruitful for us. This emotional feeling of ecstatic joy most times makes some of us lose track of our sincerity, and sometimes we forget the reason why we want the actualization of our dreams, because we feel we are now on top of the world. Pride and ego therefore secures a permanent apartment in our heart, and we start to have a distorted look at others who are not on the same level with us, forgetting that we also started off from nowhere. We don’t concern ourselves with what people say anymore, we don’t heed to advises anymore because we feel we have gotten to the peak. Sometimes, we nurture our pride and ego to the point that we try to prevent other dreamers from climbing up the ladder of success. We only want all the glory and plaudits for ourselves and we constantly attribute the success we have ...
