Covid -19: The Way Out For Our Students

Image
Lol! This statement got me laughing and thinking hard. Its no secret I'm indifferent about bbnajia2020 or any Big Brother before now. I have never been a fan. If you enjoy it, then good luck with it. My main concern is the issue of reopening of schools, especially public schools. We all know it is almost impossible for public schools to run online lectures or classes because of the nature of our system and other obvious setbacks. A student asked me if government will give them free data...lol!  I am actually going to suggest a possible option that can be explored by the government which I believe with proper monitoring will make it possible for our students to go back to school in the near future.

Experts say Agriculture is a low-risk investment that keeps pace with inflation and increases in value over the long-term.  They describe investment in Agriculture as a tangible asset that provides benefits to the community, adding that it can diversify the investor's portfolio. Why pepper? PEPPER FARM This is planting of pepper, sale and sharing of profit among investors. Pepper is the most consumed food after Garri & Rice, and can be used for so many purposes e.g soup, stew, pepper, snacks, added to many roasted foods and lots more. The beauty of pepper farming is that it requires little stress in cultivating, can be intercropped with maize, beans & soya beans and this brings so many returns.

RIPPLES E. 3

[Catch up on E.2 here ] I don't know what to do about the lady sitting beside me in the warm luxurious car. From the way she is angling her body away from mine, it's obvious she either thinks I am a lunatic or a serial killer about to dice her into tiny pieces. But that is the least of my worries. The question driving me insane is; how in the world will I be able to repair her car when my current net worth is fifty thousand naira? Okay, minus thirty thousand for my kid sister's upcoming exams from that. Being an orphan, my sister is my world and I would do anything to see her happy, even if it requires starving myself. Considering also that my rent is overdue for payment, I am actually worth less than the balance of twenty thousand naira. To make my case worse, even if I decide to sell my car, the only property I inherited from my late father, nobody in their right senses would offer to buy a car that has been marked off road severally. Put simply, I am done for. Finished.

Corruption - We Can Do Better

Image
With the recent arrest and investigation of  the Acting Chairman Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)  for alleged corrupt practices I've been asking myself;   The media is agog with stories of Ibrahim Magu today who will be the next tomorrow ?Why did it take so long for these allegations to  be discovered and made public? Why now? Are the  allegations  being made public probably because he offended someone/a godfather (stepped on toes)? If that's the case, does it mean that if you are loyal to "some people" or have some high priority affiliations, then all your looting and sundry illegal activities will be overlooked until there is a fallout? Is it not yet time for us to ACTUALLY fight corruption in our country instead of the selective judgement and media trials we have seen over and over again?

Ripples E.2

Ripples got the highest hit and will be running. Catch up on Episode 1 by clicking here:   [ Read E. 1 ] My name is Folasade Nnenna Metuh. I'm sure you're wondering; how so? I will explain.  An Igbo businessman and a beautiful Yoruba lady he met at a conference, fell inlove, got married, had me after two amazing boys and their happily ever after story is still running. With parents from two major tribes, you can guess that my control of our languages are Excellent. Add English and an impressive French language skill as toppings to that...lol! Everyone calls me Bam Bam, all thanks to my brothers who won't let go of my teenage sobriquet. Don't even ask me how I got that name because I can't remember.  Did I mention I love looking pretty? I still turn heads whenever I walk in. I love that part so I don't joke with my figure and wardrobe. As much as I abhor sounding vain, my walk-in wardrobe lined with the best apparels from the most expensive designers money can af
