MUCH ADO ABOUT THE PALINDROMIC DATE 02022020





Palindromic refers to a number, word or segment that reads the same in both directions, a rarity that only occurs a handful of times each year.     

Several countries however  use different date formats that make such a feat difficult, Nigeria writes dates in the  day/month/year. Format
In other parts of the world, the date may be written as year/month/day or month/day/year. 
The last time this happened was 909 years ago on November 11, 1111, or 11/11/1111.

This Sunday will be the first time in more than 900 years that the date can be written the same way forward and backward for everyone across the world

Your children must be so grown... ( awwwwn, are you not yet dead? the mortuary must be eager to house your corpse)… These  poisonous innuendo glib abound. I nfuriating, are the religious colourations like: oh it is spiritual… She is plagued by a dream husband…   something is covering her face “I know a prophet that can help you…” Jamil

LESSONS FROM THE RICE POT

So here I am at the adult school kitchen, watching my rice cook in my newly bought locally fabricated pot code named " kokolet".. My neighbor asks off handedly. " are you going to sit here till the rice cooks?" I respond in the affirmative, and she says " me I cannot oo." I will put it on fire and go to the room  and return later, she adds.. I simply smiled , looking at the bubbles accompanying the sound of rice boiling, I catch an instantaneous lesson surge from the depth of my spirit , which I proceeded to share with her. It is an undeniable part of humankind to hate the kitchen heat but love the food that the heat produces. cooking various delicacies reminds you about the need to be patient with yourself whilst your dreams and visions cook.
