By Henry Emeka Muofunanya Expository evaluation on the physical characteristics of the above Animal, Perhaps, representing the world prominent classes of being (family). THE LIONS (the bahdos, thugs, perversed, the prodigals, bad gangs and street boiz). 1.The are strong and readily blessed with strenghth They are brave, hard, self sufficient. They learnt fierceness from birth, their countenance suggest war, battle, quarrel, theft and bully always, thus they intimidate and bully others in the jungle (world) even themselves. Their deaths are always strange and brutal (accidents, prison, firing squad, deadly diseases, Gun shots), what's more because they think they own the Jungle (world)….. They missed the way. THE DEERS ET GOATS (Hails from poor families, the offsprings of the paupers) They learnt meekness, humility, economical and financial management from birth, arising from their hand-to-mouth feeding(as seen in the picture below), 2.They are often harassed by the lion...

LOVE IN THE AIR

LOVE IN THE AIR…. This friend I know Not long ago But I hope to walk the way If she gives me her hand someday This feeling makes me flare I'm thinking it's love in the air I know or maybe I don't know What might be if we have a taste Set sliding to and fro And much clings and clashes turn waste For love will be bare Lying upon the altar in flares Do you Hear whispers Speaking words I choose not to cypher But I'll be stupid anyway 'Cause that's love own way Heart acting out And my eyes speak what lay hidden beneath my mouth

THAT DAY THEY SHARED US AMONGST THEMSELVES

It was on the afternoon of November, 15 1884 Somewhere around the world in Berlin They divided us amongst themselves This very act was spare headed by Otto van Bismarck. They sat around a horse-shoe table in a room With each representative from the European countries ready to devour us like a Rowling lion. Each delegate hunched over a map armed with ruler and pencils sketching our national borders. All this they did, not for our own very benefit rather on the accord of fulfilling their own selfish desires. This for once never initiate European colonization of Africa Rather a way of scrambling us amongst themselves To make matters worst most African leaders both present and past has sold out our respect and dignity,like Esau sold his birthright because of a pot of porridge. Making us lost our reverence and veneration It is no longer a thing of shock that our glory is lost The sun will rise and we will try again. ♤♤♤Xtopher Okonkwo ♤♤♤ Photo: Tales of Africa

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVE THINKING The negative thinking can really impede one’s ability to live a fulfilling life, when everything is wrong with the world and nothing is worth pursuing, so what’s the point in law really. Even though a positive mindset is generally more preferable than a negative one, there’s also dark side to the whole positivity culture we see nowadays, that’s why I think it’s time to talk about positivity. We all know those people that are always happy, shinning and utterly optimistic about everything, these kind of people equipped with clear cut, exclusively possible mindsets to approach life’s problems,  no matter how big or small you’ll probably notice that when you talk to them about a specific situation that you’re dealing with, they’ll sprinkle you with sweet optimism, which is supposed to make your problem go away, In an instance, so your spouse dimples you, you’ll get over it, and you’ve just being cleared on and lied to so ma...
