                                  About the egress of summer in the year 2012 on a softly sunny monday morning, Frank Falana, after a mare infested night,woke up in a worn out manner, to kiss the lips of dawn. The morning breeze came caressing his frame through the partly opened French windows which ventilated his room, And as he stretched the stress of the night mares that marred his night, he felt a little doze of relief course through his nerves with crackling cacophonous sounds escaping his body. Finding his way into his convenience, he applied a large line of paste on tooth brush, in a bit to brush off the stark sourness and bitterness that pervaded in his mouth, the paste however tasted like dung as he felt himself struggling to hold back the mounting pressure of puking. For all he knew, the night mares he had had caused the strange strings of emotional irregularities that reflected in his actions and in actions . Finally, after having a warm bath, he felt much more relieve

 Life overtime has been critically accessd,analyzed and philosophized as a slave of time,owing to the great influence time exacts on life.Time not only controls life but every of its ramifications and man is a major conveyer of life.little wonder people do say "time waits for no man but man waits for time".life in humans,starts at conception to infancy,infancy to puberty, puberty to adolescence and adolescence to adulthood then finally to old age; which ultimately welcomes death. The history of man cannot be made or told without time,for it is believed that whatever happens to man has connections with time. More so, whatever man would become or whatever would make man ,is seen at the earliest times of his life. As those periods are times life could be beaten into the desired pattern Hence the saying : "make hay while the sun still shines".     It is no news today that humans are clamouring for sustainable development,that is, a development that is able to meet

                   It has been said that, when there is a crack in the wall, it must not be left unsealed as it will eventually lead such wall to ruins.This statement best describes the wrecking effect of unattended "culture of consumerism in Nigeria".The question however is,what is culture in relation to consumerism? And how does the trend affects Nigeria at large . Well,culture is, in the words of E.B Taylor, that complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, art, morals , law, customs  and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.Sourced from Wikipedia.Culture to my best of understanding, encompasses every facet of human life both the obvious and inconspicuous aspects of it.that is , from the food we eat, to the cloth we wear, to the house we build ,to the language we speak and even to the valuable and in valuable thoughts and actions of our day to day living , just to mention a few. However, culture in these context, reflects a behavio

             Perhaps the most distinctive description of an object refers to its appearance rather than its purpose or function I can not say! What I do know however is, nothing defines something specifically than its function which in turn explains the rationale behind the invention of it. In a bid to better illuminate this thought, I'd like to use "man" as an example. Describing man based on his physique, is quite simple but on a critical level, it begs for more comprehensive details which surpass man's physical outlook,for the primate family has similar physical triats as man.The question then is, how do we create a sharp dichotomy between primates and man? Well, functions! Man of all living creatures, has a mind of its own which is powered by a brain that can process things in the most amazing ways- like thinking, creating, and solving of problems etc all these super abilities give him dominion over other animals and at the same time strike the chasm between the

It is no news today, that Ondo state (a place of pride) seeks the hands of a new steward to tend her herculean affairs for the next four years, as the incumbent steward would soon relinquish office. Yet, a logical mind must not only listen to the news of this bride-like engagement proposals of aspiring stewards on the social media but a critical questioning of what would become of her if she’s handled by the wrong hands. Hence, reasoning through questions like” where do we go from here?” enlightens the mind of a politically conscious person on what to think and do. Perhaps, this popular question” where do we go from here” still confounds your cognition, allow me to demystify its intended meaning(s). From time immemorial, a mind reflecting and redeeming question has always been the crux of any major shift from an era to another, when the former experience exudes errors and horrors or a not too likeable memory-such which explains the disdain for the soon to be gone administration,
