O'TREK CONSCRIPTION:LAGOSIANS GROAN

It's  a season of tears, groaning, complaints and unending rants as the ban on Tricycle and motorcycle operations in Lagos State enters the third day.

To ameliorate the hardship occasioned by the ban, Governor of Lagos State Babajide Sanwoolu has directed that 65 new intra city buses and 14 ferries  be released to cater to residents but Lagosians say this is grossly inadequate as these buses do not drop off passengers on their streets.

Meanwhile, Lagosians have humorously coined the trekking  an " O'trek app", decrying the untold hardship the ban has thrown them in. On Twitter , trending with hashtags #Kekeban , #okadaban , pictures of horses serving as alternative transportation sources are on display.

Operators of the banned transport system have called for the government to have a rethink and regulate , rather than effect an outright ban.

Concerns are also high that this ban will cause a surge in crime rate and insecurity in the state due to the huge number of operators who have been rendered jobless.

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

What started out as a regular normal working day in the life of a diligent young man , ended  extraordinarily drawing with global accolades. In a world where some people find increase  in their monthly alert payments from their office as a "windfall from heaven"  has made a certain Henry Terry stand out.

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. Rice and beans do not share the same cooking time! The same applies to beef and fish, whilst cake and chin chin do not share the same production time. Still starring at the rice bubblin
