His Royal Highness

Earlier today, while at work it started raining heavily. It quickly reminded me of the conversation I had with the Okada rider I took from my shop to my office. It was a sunny morning and the heat of the sun suddenly put the thoughts of rain in my head and I asked the Okada guy " Why does it only rain in the evening in this city?". Your man was surprised and he giggled. He said "well, the one who  should answer this your question can't not be seen". I realized that I have asked the wrong question. The correct question should have been "do you realize that it always rains in the evening in this city ?". He argued that it rains at other times too. I said "well, so far, since the season began, it hasn't rained once in the after or evening. " and right there I gave him a point, he said you know how God does his things, he wants us to work during the day and then while we are at our houses relaxing he sends the rain. he reminded me of the ...

The future belongs to those who think. Its never too late to start thinking for yourself. You might think your time is over, but trust me it is not. The things we regret the most are the things we didn't do not the things we did. So its better to start doing more.  The world is full of Nay Sayers, people who will tell you you cant do this and that, always bring up a reason why you cant achieve your dreams. But you can do something, you can stop listening to them and if that is so hard to do, you can ignore them when they talk.  I believe there is nothing more important that believing in your self, figuring out what is it you want and planning vividly on how to achieve it. There is actually nothing more important. Plan your way to success, its not easy but with dedication and passion for what you do, you will succeed in the end. Success is sure for anyone who does what they love and dedicate themselves to it. As Henry Ford said, "a business dedicated to service will...

This is a guest post by a friend of mine, a passionate space organizer. _________________________________________________________________________________ By: Hajara Bako Email: mhajara51@yahoo.com Twitter:  @littleangel1043 Facebook: facebook.com/Hajara1043 __________________________ Seeing places in a mess irritates every nerve in me.I find myself in wonder of how people in their right sense allow themselves to live in messy places when they actually can do something about it. But the irony is no matter how hard I try, spaces are prone to be messy except with constant care. As a passionate space organizer therefore, I put efforts to turn around messy places. When Messy When Organized My gosh, I hate seeing places in a mess right from childhood. If I can remember well, my grandma was a goddess when it comes to organizing places and I think I picked it up as a hobby, little did I know it was already in me like some lineage thing.  The import...

I have read somewhere it says "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" and although I believe I can do anything, sometimes I feel like I am actually just trying hard to be someone I am not and when I fail in doing so I feel miserable. But the problem lies in the part where I would lie to myself about these feelings, where I would tell myself "look, you are not just trying hard to be someone else, you are actually being yourself"  and to be honest I don't know which voice to believe, the one that tells me I am being me or or this one that says I am lying? As a little kid I can remember wanting to know how electronics work so much. I even used to have a lot of them in my room. I would try to tear them apart and put them  together. And then all of a sudden I stopped, not that I no longer feel the urge to do those things, I am occupied by other things. I can remember a lso as a kid, I would use a radio recorder to record self-scripted conversations that would s...

Last night we had a long chat with Sman AKA Suleiman Aliyu Yaro. I love discussing with people after work. I guess maybe it has do with my workaholic attitude and my anti-social behavior. That sounds to me like an irony. I mean, an anti-social someone loving to talk to people only after work. Whats that? Hypocrisy? lol. We discussed various topics but the one we discussed at length was BOY-GIRL-RELATIONSHIP. Okay, It started when I showed him a leaked video of a Hausa girl showing off her naked boobs on a camera. He claimed to have known the girl or that she seemed familiar. Although he pleaded that I send the clip to his whatsapp I refused, then all of a sudden I remembered getting into trouble with clips like that. That took us to our lengthy gist about our relationships. I told him from A to Z the girls that got into my life. He was laughing and enjoying every bit of the story. He even suggested I write a book about it. I don't know if I can do that. I mean, I am n...

I can remember catching my brother Haruna watching pornographic clips although not red handed but I have seen it through his browser and download history. And I never made any move to stop him, not because I do watch porn as well but because I see it as a normal thing for a guy of his age. I mean, what do you expect of him? to not know that sex does happen?  It is the 21st century and everyone (or almost everyone) has access to the internet, unrestricted internet to be precise. So I let it slide, of course we don't discuss sex but I don't care what he does with his internet, I will only care if I bought the internet and it is being wasted. By the way he will be 21 by December so I think it is totally okay. Now I know there are those who will be like but it is not good religiously, forgetting that everything is not good as long as religion is concerned. I mean, whats good? NOTHING? Okay so today, my little brother Abbas, was caught red handed by me about to do same and...
