By Bimbola Segun-Amao Oscar Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp on 14 February 2013. They had dated from November 2012. She was a South African model, paralegal, and reality television star. The trial has been a long one which I did not find amusing; from horrible graphical representations to Oscar shedding tears like a fountain and the puking; the trial was like a worm crawling under my skin; it left me restless and uncomfortable. I stopped following after a while. Once, I brought it up in the office and a colleague hinted she won’t be surprised if he…

I start my day with remembering my Dream. I am swiftly and surely converting it into a Vision. I see myself in the final Goal, arriving at my Creation. In my journey toward understanding my beliefs, I sense an intruder saying you’ll never make it. The odds are against me, and it begins to dictate evidence; Time is not there, resist sacrifice, and me is listening to me. I demand you show yourself; “What are you called?” It responds: “It is me… FEAR; the instigator of me in me. I create lies in our path by questions of ‘What if’s?’ I exist to affirm we will never have,…

I just received a mail confirming that schools will re-open on Monday 22nd September, 2014. After reading it, I felt compelled to put on paper my thoughts since the announcement of same by the Federal Government. One thing that struck me is that I am yet to receive information about CONFIRMED (NOT ADVISED/ SUGGESTED) nationwide measures that have been put in place to ensure the safety of our children from the Ebola virus upon resumption at school in two weeks. The reason for moving the resumption date forward by three weeks was given as “containment of the Ebola virus in…
My son, It is really sad when you look around and see people who have passed their “sell-by-date”, but still stay on thereby constituting themselves into a problem. I will use some public figures as examples. Take Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe, he has been at the helm of affairs in his country since 1980 and what a fine mess he’s made of it. A classic case in my opinion of a man who does not know when to quit. Do you remember Muammar Gaddafi the Libyan leader? He too did not know when to quit. Having led a successful…
After missing Batch A registration due to the verification process, I was finally able to register for Batch B, after finding out I’d been posted to Lagos (lucky me), it was on to the part I feared the most: camp. After hearing countless tales of woe and horror, ranging from ‘shotput’ to cramped living conditions with strangers who would ‘steal your underwear if they could,’ I was absolutely terrified of camp. I’m not an outdoorsy person. I’m only interested in one sport and my interest is limited to watching it and yelling at my TV screen. I don’t like shared…
