No one envisaged that the coronavirus pandemic would take the world by storm. Many businesses have been hit badly by the plague.

Unfortunately, some workers have become redundant and had to be laid off in the process. There are key learnings that businesses can learn from the present crisis. These include: 1.

On that edge All felt is the noise heard As stables of raindrops run their lanes through your roof A man can only hide when there is space You are hiding without one Manhood in question The wooden door cricks and ricks of hands Palms that used them centuries old Yours is missing It gradually fades Like the hope in your eyes for company The empire you were never sharing no longer exists The desert you deserve is now losing sand The scorching sun seems lost in this uncertain sky What space is missing? Poem by Melekwe Anthony …
In the beginning the joy of being a parent is far greater than the hurdles of parenting. This joy is so much that you can barely think of any other thing than the cuddling, the kisses and smiles. (We don’t even see the crawl always, run always and I can’t take your call. Read on and will you understand) At this point everything is different. You are lost in the moment and all that matters is that moment. You even become almost non-existent, everything and every focus is on the fact that there a little creature constantly needing you and…
Ecclesiasticus 27:33-28:9; Psalm 103; Romans 14:7-9; Matthew 18:21-35 The readings of today are just very powerful and thought provoking.

Forgive your neighbour so that God will forgive you and your prayers may be answered. This is a mouthful already. I must admit that forgiveness is a very sensitive topic. It is an issue that affects virtually every of us, some people do not…
This is me, sitting in front of the reading desk in my room, with my eyes closed and head resting against the wall, listening to the song ‘I’ll be Fine’ by Fireboy, my screaming parents, and the murmuring neighbours. It was the month of August and the rain was drizzling softly outside, drowning the noise, not the one from my screaming parent, but the noise in my head. The one that keeps me awake at night. I’ll be fine, I say to myself. I pick up my pen and a paper with the intent of completing the novel I had…
” I wish I met you before I met my wife” That has been his excuse. How long was she going to keep up appearance? She never envisaged being a permanent ‘side chic’. On several occasions, she had attempted to break all ties with Jide, but he kept coming back. “What do you want?” She asked him ” I am tired of being your undercover lover” As usual, he would sweet-talk her out of her grievance. But this was the final straw after she came to her senses. If she had taken her studies seriously in the university, she would…

When your skin loses its healthy radiance, it can be a source of concern. Dehydration, dark eyes, discolouration are some of the symptoms of dull skin. There are a number of factors that contribute to dull skin and these include: 1.Dead skin cells As one grows older, there is less oil production in the skin. As a result, dead skin cells build up and make the skin less radiant, dry and dull. Dry skin conditions such as eczema also contribute to the accumulation of dead cells on the skin. 2.Dehydrated skin When you deprive the skin of water, it would…
