Song Recommendation YOU  ARE SICK … If you are reading this line it means you  understand “ that nobody ever die of insort”   and you didn’t close the brief in anger. I would explain the very insulting opening paragraph with total faith that you would have been cured of your ailment when you are done reading this brief ( yet another insort ) but first, let me tell you about my week I work with a company where nobody gives a flying donkey how many years of experience you have. They’d give you projects that require a decent number of years of experience & expertise and budgets to the tune of millions of Naira and then you are required to build castles in the sky.

A nice way to describe my first project is -It failed. All the millions of Naira invested entered the bush. I was told to r...

The young ladies were pictured removing their underwear on the road which they claim is 'spiritually fortified' as they beckoned on the pant thieves to come and do their worse. During an interview last month over the pant theft, a lady identified as Akinpelu Boluwatife, said she is now more careful about where she puts her underwear as news of disappearing undies is now common. She said that she has already joined the bandwagon of ladies who no longer wear pants as a result of the situation.

You will always ask yourself if you had sent me a more meaningful text. These are your last words to me. Goodbye D.” From the screenshots of the WhatsApp chat he shared, Basalirwa seemed to have undergone a rough breakup with his girlfriend. His friends say that he was planning his marriage, after visiting his fiance’s parents at a traditional Kukyala ceremony. Hours before that, Basalirwa posted to his Whatsapp a status note saying; “I am sorry but it’s too late, I’m sorry, too much weighing on me I don’t wanna live to see another day.” However, these cries for help went unnoticed, with only a simple ‘bambi’ as a comment from one of his friends, until hours later when others learnt about his sudden death.
