Time is regarded as one of the most precious gifts. Time exists before the birth of a child who develops to be an adult and after the death of an individual. Human beings intuitively divide time into the past, present and the future. It is therefore important to note three key points when relating to matters of time or an individual’s existence.   They can be seen as phases and moments of life. They are inevitable with regards to matters of life. These three key points include: §   The Past – tells of previous events. §   The Present – speaks of ‘now’. §   The Future – ‘the unknown’ tells of events that are yet to take place or occur. Some people have failed to know that this trio has influence on one another. No present without a past! Neither can we have the future without the present! A lot of questions, opinions and perceptions have emanated with regards to these points. Here in this article, we’ll be bringing to you facts and truths you ne...

'I WARNED HER SEVERAL TIMES' We were no doubt very good friends. Several people could attest to this but this fateful day, our friendship world crumbled. I wished it wasn't something as 'little' as this (at least) that tore us part. Here was what happened: After growing fond of each other, I discovered that Simi suddenly began to hit me hard whenever she wanted to greet me. This was probably a 'hidden like' on her part that was yet to surface at the beginning but now it did. I wasn't comfortable with it. I can remember vividly that on the first occasion, I was about stepping into the lecture room when I felt someone hit me (it wasn't hard neither was it soft). I looked back only to discover it was Simi who was now attempting to hug me. I had to reciprocate the hug even when I wasn't comfortable with it. I had to smile & jokingly tell her I wasn't comfortable with the idea of hitting me.          Sad! It happened again bu...

Human beings are so fast and active when it comes to playing the blame game. This can even be seen as far back as the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden as recorded in the book of Genesis.  Most times, we take this route of ‘blame game’ in order to have self-justification about certain issues. Sometimes, we simply run to get the tag ‘blame someone’ to use, as excuses for events we failed to carry out properly or failure(s) that resulted from an activity. You and I have been one way or the other guilty of this. Furthermore, this article goes beyond pointing your finger to blame someone for failure(s). It also involves pointing a finger of accusation that could turn out false! ‘Pointing the finger’ could also mean being hasty in your judgment of other people. Are you quick in judging others?  Have you checked yourself properly before doing that? Are you planning to remove the speck in someone’s eyes when you have a beam in yours? I’m not sayi...
