REVIEW : VIOLENCE BY FESTUS IYAYI

  Hello peeps, how has the month been? I’ve been playing coward for a while now, let me tell you why. I read a book some weeks back—which I stumbled upon by the way—and I was like it’s something I’d like to make a blog post about but I have been “shifting post” ever since. I have decided to take the bull by the horns and do it anyways.     Hmm!! Where do I start? Okay, this book I’m talking about is titled VIOLENCE written by FESTUS IYAYI and I’d say it was a good—real good—read. The time in which the story was set wasn’t really stated but I figure it was set sometime in the 70s going but the copyright and an account somewhere in the book. The storyline spans roughly 2-3 weeks, my guess being right.     The plot revolves basically around two couples, one affluent and the other poverty stricken.

LEARNING

It’s been a while since I posted, so let me just leave this here.  People often relate learning to school but it’s beyond that. We learn everyday, we learn to be better people, we learn to laugh, we learn to give life more meaning,we learn to love, we learn to impact our circles, truly if we stop learning we die (stop living). Show me a person who’s accomplished and I’d show you a person who never let opportunities to learn slide by. Willingness to learn opens up does of opportunities, it opens our mindset, it changes our person. Everyday comes with its lessons, it’s your choice to either learn of dismiss them. Learning precedes upgrade, people perish for the lack of willingness to learn. I admonish you to learn something new today, from what you read, from human relationships, all I ask is that you don’t let opportunities to learn something genius pass you by. You never know where your breakthrough /change might originate from. Stay blessed.
