Indiscipline Among the Youth



It is no gainsay that indiscipline among the youth is a canker worm that has eaten deep into the bone marrow of the country's framework. Scarcely can a day go by in our beloved country without we hearing about cases of varieties of crimes, some of which include; arson, robbery, swindling, terrorism, etc. 85% of which are  perpetrated by our youths!

Nigerian Education vs. Foreign Education

  

My Younger brother who just finished writing jamb examinations, and seeking for admission into the higher institution was surfing the internet on my dad’s laptop yesterday, when he suddenly looked up from the screen. “I want to go and study at Cambridge University”. I heard him say to my mom, who was sitting on a stool and peeling an orange. She abruptly stopped what she was doing and shot him a surprising glance. Then her face broke into a mirthless grin and replied him “Yeah. And while we are at it, why don’t we also hire Isaac Newton as your home tutor so that by the end of the day, we’ll be so broke to the extent of selling the house and living in refrigerator boxes for the rest of our lives! Not too nice a reply, you would say, but all the same it’s necessary.

What Color Is God ?


That's the question that i asked one of my friends yesterday. Obviously taken aback by that question he looked at me, wide-eyed and repeated the question to himself, three times. Then after like what seemed forever, he replied with a shrug of the shoulder that "God is white". When i asked him the reason for his reply he told me that he imagined God should be white and God being black would look quite "odd".
