It is Fri-yay! How has your week been? Please tell me about it in the comment section. As you already can tell, mine has been full to the brim with activities—from preparation for my journey to the actual journey, (I traveled home). It is at the tip of my tongue to say that I have been longing for this day. How did Friday get to have that feel? Maybe it is because it signals the end of the week. In most offices, their staff are free to dress almost as they like as long as it is decent. The companies recognize that their employees have been working throughout the week.

There was the life of the party—there was always a party to attend on Friday evenings. There was also the life of the Church goers—vigils and prayer meetings. Whichever category you belong, I know that you miss your Fri...

The one that's got to do with a guy in a foreign land whose clothes we're about to auction. Yes we're opening flea market (okrika) with his properties (LOL).  If you need me to spell the gist out to you, I will. I'm talking about the leader of the recent cybercrimes and fraud. He's popular. A celebrity infact! The first letter of his nickname is the eighth letter of the English alphabet (you didn't hear it from me).  According to the police, he has defrauded almost 2million people. The amount of money he has fraudulently acquired is in billi-billi (billions). I can't say how he did it because that gist is too h...

Good Morning! How's your week going? I have two quotes that will help you through today (and every other day). They are: 1. "No matter the obstacle or raging storm, keep fanning the sparkle until it becomes a self-sustaining fire. We must never lose passion." -McElah 2. "As an entrepreneur, you must maintain the same passion with which your original idea was conceived until you break-even and beyond - a difficult task, but possible one." -McElah  Happy Wednesday!
