"ANALYZING THE HOI POLLOI"-20 Basic Facts about African parents-S1 EP2

Today the focus is actually on the African parents. Basically I'll tell you the truth and facts about African parents. If you are an African parent and you are reading this well lol😂. 1. Your parents are basically demi-gods. It doesn’t matter if you learned that the sky is blue. If your parents say the sky is orange, the sky is in fact, orange. At least, in their presence. 2. Your parents will seldom ever admit they are wrong. And if and when they do, you will be too stunned to even believe it. 3. Your grandparents are the only people who can put your parents in their place. (And you will enjoy those moments.) 4. Your house is a free for all. At some point a relative, twice-removed, will be invited to stay for an extended-period of time. 5. You will likely be raised the old-fashioned way -“you spare the rod, you spoil the child” kind of old-fashioned way. In your adulthood, you’ll largely be grateful for it and you’ll always be able to tell the difference between people who were r...

ANALYZING THE HOI POLLOI- "JUMPING INTO CONCLUSIONS " #Season1 Episode1

 There are two sides to a coin! Never Judge any individual based on one side. It is never proper. Listen to both ends! Listening diminishes misunderstanding. The pain of being misunderstood can be severe! Nobody is perfect! So nobody is ever above mistake. Before passing a comment or a sentence about someone! Listen to both parties then conclude! BEING JUDGED KILLS SELF CONFIDENCE! Everyone deserves a listening chance. "Even Murder suspects are being given the chance to explain themselves" 💯.  " Open your mind to the world and the many different ways that can be found in it, before making hasty judgments of others. After all, the very same thing that you judge from where you are— may very well be something totally different in meaning on the other side of the world. The problem with making hasty judgments is that it will emphasize your ignorance at the end of the day." - C. Joybell C.  Communication can actually prevent hasty conclusions. This always helps to preve...

"The Brexit Nightmare" -Ruben Abati

  Read his piece below... What has the United Kingdom just done to itself, its people and the future of its youth? It is difficult to fully understand why a country in taking a decision about its future will decide on a false option that seems to negate long-term interests. And this, just because a total of 17.4 million people out of over 61 million chose to vote against the United Kingdom’s continued membership of the EU.  More than 50% of these pro-Brexit voters are actually between the age bracket: 50-70, thus an ageing class of voters has taken a decision to undermine the future of the younger generation. Pro-EU Prime Minister David Cameron said he was “courageous and optimistic” when in January 2014, he tried to justify the need for a referendum. His words then: “I think the overwhelming majority of the British people say they want to be in Europe but they want some changes to that relationship and they would like to be given a say. It is not something that we should be f...

Scary: Girl allegedly turns to cat in Ibadan😳

Wonders shall never end sha!    News at Fresh 105.9 FM, Ibadan, Samson Akindele, this young lady turned into a cat and was found inside a store of a house at Ringroad area of Ibadan, Oyo state last Tuesday. He shared the photos above and wrote  This girl was said to have transformed from a cat into a human being at dawn today. She was allegedly found as a cat in the store of a house at Ringroad area in Ibadan.   It reportedly transformed into a girl before it could be killed. She smelled like an animal and passed heavily smelly animal faeces and urine with equally strong foul odour that could not be said to be of human origin. I'm still unable to eat as result of the choking smell that pervaded the community. It's one of the most scary reportorial assignments for me. Does anyone still believe in earthly mysteries and secrets? This is strange, but could it be true?.   Nothing is impossible in Nigeria tho. #Justsaying

Chris Brown goes violent again?

Read the report from TMZ below.. Chris Brown has more legal woes ... the guy he hired to rehabilitate his image after the  Rihanna  beating is now suing Chris for allegedly doing the same to him.  Mike G  claims he was hired in 2012 not only to change Brown's image but to get him out of debt and off drugs. Mike G says he did well by Chris, who had a resurgence in popularity. Things allegedly turned bad last month, but Mike G claims without provocation, Brown took him in a room, brutally attacked him with repeated punches to the face and neck, which landed him in the ER. The lawsuit claims Brown, rather than being remorseful, began mocking Mike G on social media and bragging to friends about the beating.

Mike G says Brown's rage was drug-fueled and the suit mention concern for retaliation from Brown's "gang member friends." Mik...

There was nothing because we developed a consumption culture that we were not supposed to develop. Most of your colleagues that have left service, I doubt if they are getting benefits. That is the situation we find ourselves in”he said
