The cost Episode 1

EPISODE 1



The cost of my unspoken word
Vs 
The cost of my spoken thought

“You could have told me this earlier. OH my God! How on earth can this happen to you LAUREL? Let me call you back because I am on a bus, already close to my house.”

(Bay alighted engrossed in thought:

 “How can this happen. Just like that? But, she met this guy not too long ago and all she told me was that they attended the same secondary school; ‘Ehen’ met again at university and they exchange contact number; ‘Ehen’ he called her severally and then ask her to be his girlfriend thereafter but she told him to let her think about it-that’s all she told me about him.

How come will ...” he kept on demonstrating with his hands while he walks through to his house.

There must be an untold story behind this!-(does she knows my age?)-I will call her to tell me the full story if she really wants me to come in...”  BAYE concluded!

Into the lecture room

The lecture room setting of many universities-especially the University of first Choice and Nation’s pride-are for gossips and gist before the arrival of the lecturer and so was for Laurel. Besides, she has always been the talk of the class. Here goes her usual experience:

Her walking step made it easier for her course mate to know she is the one coming due to the sound ‘skia skia’ her feet produces as she drags it through the terrazzo ground. Her body perfume was always on point which left you with no choice but to look and when you finally do, her catwalk style will entice you until you have checked her big tush before the thought finally demanded you to see again her boobs even when you don’t want to. Then, she gives you a medicinal smile to water your fire. You have no choice but to give back a smile before you exchange pleasantries.

The ladies are envious of her beauty, her intelligence and her ‘always happy’ mood, while the guys are seeking every opportunity to get close to her but she tagged her purity as ‘staying away from guys’ to retain her ‘virginity’ which she has been keeping for about twenty-three (23) years now.

 While doing her square-patterned routine (regularly attending lectures; devoted to church activities; acting president of “Unilag relationship club”; and lastly spend her evenings in the library before she finally left for home) she came across this handsome guy who used to be her school mate in secondary school. He is in his last year while she is still in her second year.

The chemistry in their conversation that day defines love at first sight as their hands finally prove my point when they don’t want to let go each other. Holly kept on using the finger next to his thumb to scratch her palm and after a while, she cut the connection when she said to him that ‘Jesus loves you’.

They spend quality time on phone calls and all forms of chatting on social media available to them. She preached to him consistently in her own way and also discuss severally on relationship issues. It was a turning point for Holly especially when he finds his personal conviction and then he gave his life to Christ.

........

“Hello! Laurel can you hear me now? But you told me you can’t date HOLLY. Besides, how did it translate to pregnancy?”

Watch out for episode 2.....

Are you really smart?




Handsome looking and money speaking Rancho use to be the best student from onset until Farhan shows up. ‘Textbook’ as people normally calls Rancho because he can recite-word for word-all that is in a text book including the page numbers. Though, he hardly understands what he is reading but he is less concern about it. The ‘La cram La pour’ master is always eager to use ambiguous words in his sentence so that he can be called a geek.

But then, Farhan showed up with a different kind of intelligence. He changed the mentality which depict that a brilliant person must be a working book that hardly plays and always on a tuck-in shirt with an addition of an unavoidable glasses around his nose, reciting some sentences continuously.

Fabby Farhan facilitate ease of learning. He explain things in a simple language. Then you wonder how a playful brat like him can be so SMART?

What does smartness really mean? Why do we compare ‘hard work’ with smartness?

Smartness qualifies dropout like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gate and many other average students and landed them at the top. Then the hard working first class students who refuse to embrace smartness join others to serve the smart leaders.

Smartness is a step above hard work or rather put that smartness is a mental hard work. It is not an island on its own but the quality of mental activeness.

It's good to have excellent results. It's really ok to be to be relevant in your work place. But think of it in a situation where you read to understand and you have the inner pleasure because you can actually see the importance of what you have read and that helps you to have good results and also help you in your work place not just to be relevant but also to be an asset!

That is the beauty of smartness.


  • Understand instead of cramming. Be smart!



  • Improve instead of giving up. Be smart!



  • Love instead of hate. Be smart!



  • Don't worry be happy. Just be smart


In a nutshell, engage in your passion instead of running after money. Be smart!

Are you really smart? Are you ready to be smart?

Why tame us?


Why tame us?

Hearing this story was funny to me and i wonder what I will do if i was there.

I was told a case where a lecturer named Engr. Ogunfayo ask my course mates a simple 2+2 arithmetic during a class session and many find themselves pressing calculator to get it, just because the lecturer is a scary disciplinarian.

Is taming me a means to educate me?
Why will they tame us?

I have also experience series of cases where the students fear to ask questions or give suggestions because of the fear implanted in them. Where then is the education?

Check out schools and you will see quickly, the pattern of the student’s behavior attached to fear. I haven't seen much but i have experienced more than two in Nigeria.

Should they sacrifice our confidence for their selfish fear of our excesses?
If they want us to be the future leader, why should they build fear in us because of their own fears?

‘Not too young to run’ has been established and so, young ones can now get more involvement in politics. But should we do this with this pattern of fear and low confidence our education system had built in us?

Which risk worth it? Just like Ben Carson illustrate a case where highschools extinguish laboratory contents like animals and chemicals because of the fear of hurt it can cause or probably one hurt it has caused.
Many schools don’t have active student union government again because of one case or the other.

How can the school prevent these young lads from exploring the real education because of "their selfish fears"

FAMS, let’s get this across to all teachers, lecturers and schools. Let’s call their attention to this their expensive caution over us!

Am I that ugly?


Am I that ugly?

An excerpt from the book “is there really a weakness” coming soon.

“While I was young, People call me the ugly one,
I don’t like it but I can’t stop them ‘cos they are too much,
I couldn’t make new friends ‘cos I think they won’t like the ugly stuff.

Guys don’t even stare at me for a second,
Let alone approach me. How will they be my James Bond?
So I go for anyhow guy just to feel among!

Though within me, something tells me that I am pretty,
But I think my opinion is not accepted in the city,
Even if I am an extrovert, ugly me is so shy to speak with Betty!

So why will he say I am so beautiful?
I know he is trying to deceive me,
All he wants is to have sex with me
Then after that, he will take his leave!.....cryin!

Are you on a crossroad like this where you doubt the compliment of people? Where you have so much believe in the negative; where you have finally accepted what people call you; where you are living on the opinion of others?  This is for you:

“If beauty really matter, then you are beautiful just the way you are!

Your beauty is nonnegotiable.
Your person is irreplaceable.

All you need do is to develop your incomparable”
