Education in Nigeria

I remember vividly those days when we were still in primary and secondary school. Our teachers used to tell us that education is the key to success. My dear people, we have worked, toiled and laboured for years, and when finally we found the key. We came joyfully to open the door of success, only to find out that the door has been stolen, by who? Hahahahaha what a world. But there is still hope. i believe knowledge is just like a seed, when you plant it, it will take time to grow. We should not give up, the future is bright. Good morning to all.

MY CULTURE, MY SORROW

MY CULTURE, MY SORROW Finding herself on the horns of a dilemma, pushed to the wall by her present condition, and tempted to take the painful path, Egwi regretted having parents from there and being born in that culture. She has been married for over ten years without given birth to any child. Although to Ebeka, her husband, it was not a serious issue but to her in-laws, it was really a war, which made her family and that of her husband to be in a battle of wits. The wars from both families were really weighing on her but she could not do otherwise. She had tried everything possible to remedy the situation as if the fault was hers but all her efforts proved abortive. This was her condition for nine years since she came into that family.

His mother really needed children to be call...

After some kilometres, arriving at a particular spot, the driver had to drive slowly due to pot holes around. Suddenly a loud sound was heard behind the bus. What happened? The two back tires bust. John knowing full well that time was not with him took an alternative. He boarded a car that would take him out from were they were to a place where he could find a better means of continuing his journey. The car drove for about 20km and halted. There John finally boarded another bus for his final destination. While on his way, the thought...

THE PATH TO HAPPINESS AND FULFILLMENT The harmattan was totally something else. The wind was dry and dusty. The poor woman came back with a plastic bag in her left hand. “ Welcome Mama,” Tekwe said as he collected the bag from his mother. He was amazed at what he saw. He knew well that they had no domestic animals or ruminants around in the compound. “What is she going to do with these cassava leaves?” He asked himself but was unable to find an answer. They all sat in front of two bowls. He opened the first bowls, lo and behold what Tekwe saw were the cassava leaves, cooked in the form of vegetable soup. There was total silent. Later, his sister Zima asked: “Mama, what happened? These are cassava leaves. They are meant for goats.” Tears were dripping down from their mother’s eyes. Tekwe was speechless. The poor woman started eating, with the thought that her children would join her but they could not. He took only three small lumps of the foufou and that was all for him, he...
