If I went back to a primary school debate today, I would be like… Thank you Mr. Chairman for granting me the chance to air out my views about the motion which is already written on the blackboard. Proposers, opposers and the audience at large. First and foremost, let me begin by saying that I […]
Do not give up on loving because someone hurt you, there are people out there who still care! Two weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday, I am a big boy now. My birthday celebrations for this year were like no other. The celebrations started at midnight promptly. It’s the norm here that birthday boys and […]

Arsenal lost at home to Leicester City over the weekend. For a bona fide gunner like me, this week couldn’t begin any worse. Not even the fun with friends over the weekend could blur that sad fact. In my dream the previous day before the match I had dreamed that it would be 1 – […]

We have grown up with statements like, ‘everything will be alright, we shall be fine, tomorrow will be a better day, we shall get it soon,’ as our lullabies. More often than not, we have been in situations where our families have […]
