About some weeks back, A young girl was killed by a grain grinding mill, in Michika local government area of Adamawa state in Nigeria. The incident took place in a market, from account given by people. The young girl whose age was unknown to me, was sent on an errand to the market.Being a muslim, she was known to have worn a hijab that very day. Unfortunately, When she was at a grinding mill, where loud rattling noise coming from  the working machine, made it difficult to hear. She was oblivious that the machines fast moving belt caught the edge of her hijab and as a result of that she was instantly drawn to the machine. With so much pressure on her neck, the machine decapitates her. The sight was gruesome. The owner of the mill who was unaware, got shocked and he fainted, when he saw the tragic scene. He was later taken to a Hospital and the mill was later closed. From the account given by people, the girls father did not take it heavy upon himself to see the incident as the faul...

I came to understand one thing in life. When you die, people will say good things about you, even though your attitude towards them can be unforgiving. When you are alive and living a life that breaks societal ethics, the reaction you will receive is reprimanding. Some group will insult you, another will advice you to change and some will regard you as the bad guy. And you might think "since i am the bad guy, then i will have to move with the bad guys". The reason for this thought has numerous cause but the major ones result from criticism and rejection by some people, because More people criticise than encourage and more people hate than love. There is a power in love that can change a person, it must not be only through prisons or jails. When you speak to a person from your heart , that person will know. It must not be once because it is a continuous process. No matter how bad a person is, he/she still respect someone. That someone might not be you but you still have a rol...

Africa is a beautiful continent, talk of the animals, trees, people and different cultures, it just makes it so special. One of the notable things in Africa is their culture. Different people in different countries share different way of life. During the olden days before colonialism what the people respect more is their ethics and traditions. And anyone that does not follow this traditions can be severely punished at a point. The game hunt and cultivation of farmland has been the way families can feed themselves. The females are fond of gathering firewood and cooking while The males are always eager to impress them through wrestling contest, game hunt,popularity ETC. They are always trying to show their capacity to provide. The children will always dance and sing songs in the moonlight, wishing the merriment will continue forvever. But what happen to my Africa now? It seems like the life we left behind is antiquated. We no longer regard the old customs, yes we longer regard some of...

People are unique.Their unity gives them the power to do wonderful things together but when this unity is broken, the outcome always result to conflicts,wars and quarrels. When i see people sharing ideas,laughing and eating together, it gives me this sense of joy as if they should continue to live this way forever but because of our human nature, what i dreamt of has been a long awaited dream. The most important thing is that, no matter might come between us, we still share thesame flesh with blood flowing through our veins. This is our nature, let us not allow our selfish desires to rule our senses because when it does , it yields the root of conflicts and breaks off the wall of unity. We are one, lets live as one.
