Preamble I'm not 'Mr Know it all'. God knows! I don't know much at all, but I do strive to know. I make it m y business to understand situations I see around me, or the ones I find myself in. And sometimes, my search pays off, sometimes it doesn't. But I just keep on searching. Pastoral ministry is very rewarding you know; it teaches with blunt finality and truth. I've come across many young people who seem to be in search of their lost friendship (yes o!). Their story is usually something like... "I know this guy (girl) that I truly admire. We became best of friends. We laughed, talked, joked about anything and everything. Mehn! He/she was fun to be with. Then the attraction started (by the way, maybe you should read my reflection on sex addiction). Hmmm. Once the hugs became pecks, the pecks became kisses, the kisses graduated to fondling and romancing, and the romancing became sex, the friendship went out the window..." Sounds familiar? Wher...

Jurgen Klopp has denied that Liverpool face increased pressure to win the Premier League title after a summer of big-spending. A lavish close season has seen the Reds capture the likes of Allison, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri, raising the expectation around a side that finished fourth in the English top flight and reached the Champions League final. Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho said this week that the Anfield side "must" win the domestic crown to justify such investments, Klopp says it is not as simple as that. "I don't think it's a big difference [in pressure]. Only that now people maybe from [last season], they believe a little bit more, but it doesn't change the situation," Klopp told ESPN. "Yes our job is to improve the team every year, to improve the football every year and if you do that then the chances become bigger. "But the thing is that the other teams don't sleep, so Man City are still a f...

reticent adjective   RET-uh-sunt Definition 1 :  inclined to be silent or uncommunicative in speech :  reserved 2 :   restrained  in expression, presentation, or appearance 3 :   reluctant Did You Know? Reticent  in the sense of "inclined to be silent or uncommunicative" first appeared in English in the early 19th century. About 50 years later,  reticent  took on the additional sense of "reluctant" which, while it is now well established, bothers some people, particularly because it has veered away from the word's Latin origins— reticent  is from the verb  reticēre , meaning "to keep silent." But there is some sense in the way the newer meaning developed. We first tended to use the "reluctant" sense of  reticent  when the context was speech (as in "reticent to talk about her past"), thus keeping the word close to its "silent" sense. Eventually, however, exclusive association with speech ...

A s*x attacker with no penis who tricked women during s*x by using an unknown object while the lights were out, has been placed on the s*x offenders register. Carlos Delacruz, 35, was in a relationship with two women when he pretended to have s*x with them by using an unknown instrument instead of his member. Both victims complained of experiencing 'extreme pain' during intercourse with DeLacruz and were forced to stop, and both suffered from thrush afterwards. Delacruz, from Banknock, near Falkirk, refused to allow the women to see him naked and always performed in bed with the lights out.

Delacruz admitted to penetrating both women with an unknown object without their consent when he appeared at the city court ...

Done In 60 Seconds By Olumide Odusanya “All things truly wicked start from innocence.” -Ernest Hemmingway The motorcycle bounced up and down the dirt road and it felt like his heart was also bouncing in his chest the way it beat. What he was about to do wasn’t new to him but he had a bad feeling something was going to go wrong. The bike finally came to a halt at the gate of the abandoned secondary school and he paid the potbellied rider with 500 Naira note and didn’t wait for his change. The man sat on his bike for a few seconds, and watched Daniel walk away. Then he shrugged, put the money in the side zip of the jacket he had on, turned his bike around and zoomed off the lonely road. ……………….. The school’s football field was always their meeting point before any operation. Because of how secluded and quiet the place was, they could talk, and even shout out their plans without any one hearing. They called the place Red Sand. Daniel could make out three figures in the car ...

Last Episode The General paced the room, eager and waiting. How could Sophia decide to betray him like this? Where did she get the audacity to? Was she working for someone? Did she know something that he didn’t? Different questions ran through his head as he waited for her to arrive. He had taken her in when she was just a kid. Trained her, schooled her, and made her what she was. And now she wanted the Corporation for herself? “No! It cannot be!” The General exclaimed smashing the glass of water in his hands against the wall. The steel door opened inwards and Sophia walked in, accompanied by the agent who was acting as her guard. “Why am I not surprised? You even have the access codes to this room. And is he necessary?” The General asked, nodding at the agent but maintaining eye contact with Sophia. Sophia ignored his question and moved to her left to the part of the room that had a small round table and two chairs. It was the lounging area of the office where you could relax, have...

Episode 51 *************************************************** *************** Eva drove out of the parking lot, moving slowly and carefully so as not to arouse suspicion. The Colonel lay low at the back seat of the car, instructing Eva to take it cool. There were agents following them and they needed to be thrown off track. If they suspected anything, they would corner Eva and have her smoked. That would be the end. “How many cars do we have on our tail?” The Colonel asked, still crouched at the back seat of the car. “I am seeing two sedans. They are doing a very good job and they are alternating very well. Only a trained eye would notice this.” Eva replied. “Good job girl. Now follow the road that leads through bar beach and get to Bonny camp. You have to take Onikan through to Awolowo road and enter the Total filling station there. That’s where we would lose them.” The Colonel said. “What happens when we get to Total, dad?” Eva asked. “Let’s just say, I have got friends of mine.”...
