What do you make of stories? What is the purpose of stories in this present time where the internet is awash with so many things: wholesome and unwholesome.
I believe you will be able to make something out of this at the end of the page. So come with me.
Mark just like many boys his age had a lot of things running through his mind, some of which he found difficult to disclose to his parents or significant others.
Mark a tall and handsome boy went to school in the countryside, some of his classmates and friends saw life (the world) as a place where everything should revolve around them. After his education from high school, he decided to move to the city to work and possibly go to college.  When he got to the city he was able to secure a job at a grocery store where he worked so hard to save some money to go to college.
He lived in a poorly lit, dingy looking apartment not so far from where he worked all in a bid to save enough money to accomplish his dream of a college education. Having worked for three years with very little to show for it in terms of savings, he decided to make extra income by going to clean people’s houses for a fee. It was in the course of this that he ran into some of his high school mates who were already running one programme or the other in the college ,of particular note was Derek who derided him each time he saw him in the neighborhood.
As far as Derek was concerned a boy with such good looks as Mark had no business working so hard when there were other easier ways out of such hardship. Mark on the other hand did not see life from the lens of Derek so he continued with part time and full time jobs despite Derek’s comments and derision.
Due  to Mark’s positive attitude to work ,  some of  his clients recommended him to other people and this impacted more  on his savings and his desire to go to college seemed very possible than before.
In the new neighborhood, he noticed a particularly big, unkempt house, the other thing that caught his attention was the fact that he had never seen anyone go into or come out from the house. After so many days of pondering over the state of the house and the course of action to take, he decided to go see who lives in that house.
Who lives there?. Keep checking for more updates on this great story

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. The story tells of the things that being poor can make one do and things that the affluent can use to lure the poor as well. It also shows how manipulati...

AND THE LOCKDOWN CONTINUES

  It's no news that the lockdown has been extended and even if the lockdown isn't charting it's full course in certain cities and places, movement and activities that we've grown used to are restricted. While the isolation may not be much of a big deal for some, I'm sure it has some bored to the wits and maybe at the brink of insanity (who knows?) While the lockdown persists, I have made another list. (Remember the last one? ) Limit the amount of news you take in: social media sure has its ways of bringing enlightenment and I'm certain you have been at the receiving end of a plethora of BCs here and there. Whilst some of these might be valid, there is always room for false news. Staying in the loop with what is going on shouldn't mean wolfing down every little bit of news that swings your way (especially without making your own findings).
