The Thrills of High School Reunions

Many at times in life, we start to miss the people with whom we have shared the better part of lives.

We tend to miss the same people whom we used to detest when we were with them,We miss the guys whom we fought with when we were in high school,We start to miss the same girl who used to rat us out to our form mistress for noise making or for disturbing her.We tend to miss the same guy who snatched our high school heartthrob from you.We begin miss the same girl who insulted us in front of your peers just because you wanted to date her.

Sufferings of a Nigerian Student

Students taking lectures sitting on the floor

I wanted to write about the African student but I decided to write this one first since “charity they say begins at home”.

Being a student in Nigeria is the most herculean task I know.

You first start from the kindergarten, then spend three years in the nursery school, then six years in both primary and secondary schools, then another four, five or six years in the university, depending on your course and of course you can leave out the years when the teachers would go on strike due to one issue or the other with the government.

That’s a complete total of at least twenty years if you didn’t repeat any class along the line.

OPPORTUNITY COMES BUT ONCE?!! THAT'S JUST CRAP!!!

I have heard people said that crap since I was a kid, that opportunities comes just once in life and I did actually believe them then.

Right from my primary school days I was taught that opportunity come just once, I was taught that in both classrooms, seminars, church etc. and then as a kid i did believe it.

So I did what every other kid did, I was always on the watch for that opportunity, ready to pounce on it once it come but then In my wait for this opportunity that was supposed to show up just once I got older and then realized something more important.

Please my good readers, whenever someone tells you that opportunity comes just once I need you to do one thing for me, slap the hell out of that person so as to wake him or her from their slumber.

Is There Anything Like True Love?

So my able readers, I have come again today to give you my own opinion on this issue that have plagued not just my generation but also the ones before us.                                               

Does true love exist? In fact, is there anything like Love?

These questions have been a nuisance to the society in fact, many people have gotten hurt because they couldn’t find the answer to these questions, and many have hurt others for the same reason.

Some become to players because they’ve been hurt before, some become home wreckers, some lock up their hearts etc.

OK let me tell you a story,

Stop Complaining And Do Something!!

I was on my way back to school inside a bus, it was a 3 hour journey so I was try as much as could to get some rest, but then this guy beside me wont stop complaining.

He complained about almost everything, the bad road, the bad vehicle, the poor hawkers, the bad government, the corrupt leaders, the corrupt youths etc.

At first I tried listening but I found out that this guy would just not stop then I turned around and said to him “oga, stop all these complaints and do something in whichever way you can because complaining from morning till night would not solve any problem instead, it’ll cause you more problems like high blood pressure and head ache”

“I Love You” The Most Abused Sentence

I really love reading stories about love, romantic novels and all that. In fact I used to steal those adult romantic novels from my school library back then, I loved reading Nick Carter, James Hardly Chase etc.

Most of these novels ends up with the hero getting the girl and this gave me hope that one day I’d be together with that pretty girl I had crush on..lol

Anyways It was really disappointing when I grew up to face reality and the greatest disappointment I had was seeing how the sentence “I Love YOU” was being used to mislead people.

Funny enough it seems as though everyone wants to be told that, pitiful.

Hatred Everywhere

I look around me and there is stench of hatred everywhere. Everyone is unhappy about something, hateful of something or jealous of another thing.

The funny part is that it seems as though no one is an exception.

Even the rich signs and curses every minute of the day, this makes me ask myself “what on earth made this rich man curse this way?”

I still don’t know the answer to that. Everyone is hateful, makes me really sad though cos my friends too are no exception, even I am a victim to this HATE.

Be Different, Let Them Laugh!!

 

Whenever I look around me all I see is people trying as hard as they can to blend in and that makes me sad.

Everyone is made different, why try really hard to change yourself and who you really are? It just doesn’t make sense to me.

When you look at the mirror do you see someone else staring back at you? Why then try as hard as possible to copy someone. You are made different so be different.

I walk the streets every day I see young kids trying so hard to blend with their peers, they drink alcohol because their peers says it’s the real deal, they smoke and chase after anything in skirt because that’s what their friends are into.

I pity them because if they know the potential they had, they wouldn’t be wasting it.

Your Parents Owe You Nothing!!!

I was out with a friend of mine earlier this week, we went to visit his friend whom he said had graduated from the university about two years ago but is still looking for job.

He said that the guy had invited him to come for a drink, well I don’t love booze at all but I love the meat that comes with it and so off we went.

At the merriment joint where we sat and ate with some other friends of his, we started talking about graduation and life after school,  since I was still a student I did more of listening and asking questions.

Parents Please Listen To Us!!

How would you feel, if you are talking to your child and he keeps on doing what he is doing without even considering your opinion?

How would you feel, if after explaining the reasons behind your action and your kid went on to do the exact opposite of what you told him to do?
