LOVE ....... butterflies, electricity or simply the word itself?





                                     







LOVE!!! 
    
   A word that means different things to different people. Some get bitten by its bug at first sight, some much later, while some never even sight it in a million live times. I once knew someone who believed that when you love someone, you argue like old couples but have fun like teenage besties.      

    A lot of people mix love with lust or obsession. My definition of lust is pure animal attraction to beauty and sex appeal, while that of obsession is a compulsive emotion whereby a person's feelings and thoughts are controlled by a desire. A fair amount of us over think and analyse love. We are ruled by society's ideals and beliefs on what love means, what it should be and how it should feel. We need to relax and realize that "love is just love"

EXCEPT FROM THE RETREAT BY Aiyegbusi Ololade

 Hello everyone, my apologies for the long absence 🙏 I have been preoccupied with studies for my Master's degree program 🎓 as well as other personal issues.

I'll tell Zara to -" "Please don't tell her." Lara interrupted sitting up quickly. Malik frowned looking confused. "Why?" He asked I don't want her to worry about something so trivial." She replied "Too late. I already sent her a text, and I'm sure she's on her way here" he replied checking his phone. "Great!! She's probably panicking" Lara said standing up. She went to the window to look out, the sun was very bright. She h...

A CRITIC ON THE IBB STATEMENT BY KASSIM AFEGBUA

 On the 4th of February 2018, Mr Kassim Afegbua; spokesman of Retired Gen. Ibrahim Babangida released a statement titled; Towards National Rebirth, in which the former military general said that it was time to sacrifice “personal ambition” for “national interest”. He asked Nigerians to cooperate with the president till he completes his term of office in May 2019, before giving way to new, young generation to assume the role of leadership; to make room for fresh blood so to speak.  The statement was without a doubt, a brutally honest appraisal of the state of the nation. Wreaked with political, economic and cultural crisis, Nigeria it seems is on his last legs. The Boko Haram insurgence, ethic wars, prevalent corruption, murders, kidnappings, molestation and quite recently, the unchecked activities of the Fulani herdsmen has cast doubt on the capacity of this administration to govern the nation. Like a sick man on life support, the nation is barely surviving, and without a mira...

THE KEEPER CHAPTER 3

 Chapter 3 Motola ran towards Chris’ side as they both laid flat on the ground.  One of the criminals took position by the front door, while the other hovered over them; cocking his gun at their heads. The third who appeared to be the leader of the group, sat majestically on the sofa. “Raise up your heads” he thundered “Please don’t let us do that” Chris replied from the floor “Just take whatever you want and leave us in peace”  “Yes please” Motola said fearfully The leader laughed loudly and repeated his request. Motola and Chris quickly raised their heads towards him but kept their eyes closed “Now sit on the floor and open your eyes” he shouted They obeyed him trembling “Good. I see you were having dinner; your anniversary dinner I presume?” Motola and Chris exchanged a surprised look. “You’re surprised I’m informed?” he asked smiling “Don’t be. You very well know who I am. Today is the day of reckoning, and I am here to exact my last revenge on you Christopher Emeka O...
