Hello so your favourite ISAAC is currently at Nysc camp and Rhoda Enietan is taking over today's episode. Today we will be talking about a few fashion items you should take to camp to look peng, you know 3 weeks of pepper dem!!!  BUT......here is the truth there really is no pepper them in camp it is a very humbling experience for the proud as everyone is made too wear the same uniforms,  and everyone is whoever they say they are. This for me was one of the most amazing thing about camp as everyone was made to relate on the same level it is a great place to meet the best friends!!! But not withstanding the situation on ground some people still found a way to pepper us. The waist bag/ Fanny Pack: While some of us went for the most basic fanny pack we saw, some  people went Gucci shopping and some for never before seen designs, this is something you will always be with so if you wanna stand out go for the best!

What makes content go viral? What makes content go viral?  This is a very tricky question. However, there are some people who craft spreadable content every single time. Viral content is any piece of media that becomes wildly popular overnight. It could be a YouTube video, Facebook post, tweet, or almost any social media content that gets shared thousands and thousands of times. What’s their secret? Do they know something you don’t? Yep! They do and “eventuarily” all viral shares a similar trait of containing useful information for an audience. We shall be unlocking this viral code. Jonah Berger, the Wharton marketing professor and author of Contagious. Gave us the formula for viral content and we shall be examining them Social currency: First off Social Currency. According to Vivaldi Partners, Social currency is the extent to which people share information about the brand as part of their everyday social lives at work or at home.

DONE DEAL Hello there! I hope you have had an amazing weekend and are ready to smash your goals with God on your side this week. I like to begin with questions these days as they are always a good place to start. I ask you : What is your expectation when you ask God for something. Before you give in to force of habit and speak christianese, I want you to think deeply about it. What is the posture of your heart when you ask? Do you really believe you will receive? Where am I going? Where is this coming from? I'll tell you. Just a little over a week ago, I needed something from my earthly father. I did not have anything to comply with my choir's dresscode for service the following day and I thought to myself "surely my father has a red tie I can borrow". I went to his wardrobe and I found what I needed. Stay with me What struck me; what I found interesting was how within me I already knew I had it before I had even asked for it. I was so sure that when I ask

WHATS WRONG WITH BEING GAY? I know you clicked on this because you readily want to start expressing your disappointments, and it is alright, but before you do that, try just so hard to finish this article before you say the next thing in your mind. Thanks in addie. LOL>>>>>>>> Yeah of course, it took a lot of balls and electrified guts to finally take this bold step to officially declare that I am in love with a man. You can go ahead to stretch your jobless judgemental tentacles, I think I have grown pass the ditch of giving "gbosaa" to your preposterous opinions. You can't stop reading this, can you? Of course you want to know why....interesting isn't it? LOL!!! The thing is, he has being my crush and I have being his distant lover all along, he must have noticed or maybe not. I just can't help not having him around to smooch my imaginations to reality. Oh gush feel wet already!!! Naughty fellow. Well, for all I care he can be the t

RIBERY DEPARTS BAYERN Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery has signed for Fiorentina, the Serie A club announced on Wednesday. The 36-year-old, who won a record nine Bundesliga titles during his stay in Germany, has penned a two-year deal with the Florence-based side to take him through until 2021. Bayern Munich decided to reduce the average age of the squad this summer. The club sold Mats Hummels to Borussia Dortmund while numerous veteran players were released. Franck Ribery was one of these veteran players whose contract at Bayern expired this summer. Arjen Robben decided to retire from the game, but Ribery was eager to continue playing at the top level. The Frenchman was ready to reject lucrative offers from different parts of the globe as he wanted to play for a European club. Ribery’s wish was finally fulfilled this week as Fiorentina found a breakthrough during the talks with his agent. The former Bayern winger arrived in Florence on Wednesday to undergo medical and complet

PARADIGM WITH RYGLES Stunted Distracted by the somber tides Uprooted by my native ties Molded in the fiery times Of my foundation tiles Walked and always tire Worked and never satisfied To fill up my insatiable desires Struggling and failing Rising and falling Hopeless and in distress Confused and depressed Point of living unknown Who am i without the lies I grew to love and despise Stuck and frozen Masked and deprived Of the freedom to decide Where my future resides To be me Or to be whom i think i am A product of the status  implant To deviate from the scripted lines A rebel of the caste A traitor to the cause A singular discord In the straight line of chaos Who am i?

MEMOIRS 4 When you are caught by the throes of life, it seems impossible that you will make it out. Stay in there; if it's for a cause worth living. Don't worry if you weren't any better earlier, if you disappointed, if you failed in some aspects, if everything spites you, if you have not attained your potential. Redefine your story and see the cause out. Recreate and reconnect. Reconsider and rework. There are a lot of ways to appreciate and gain relevance. May you find your path or may your path find you.

BROKEN COOKIES By Hamz Little Dylan had always been bullied; had always been at the rock bottom of the class pecking order. Even the bullied bullied him. He was small for his age and what he lacked in size, he made up for in complex. He had a very huge inferiority complex. With a big nose, dark spots all over his skin, and shabby clothes, his self-esteem lived under the sole of his battered shoes. Every Sunday school, Teacher Betsy would open packets of cookies and empty them into a large tray. The tray was passed around to the kids in the class. Somehow, Dylan always happened to be the last kid to have the tray, regardless of where he sat in the class- which was, almost always, invariably at the back of the class. If he wasn’t at the back of the class, he wasn’t in the class. And by the time the tray got to him, what was left were the broken bits and crumbles of the cookies. Teacher Betsy noticed this and decided to do something about it. She made him sit in the front of the

AUTOCARE WITH DAMILARE Future advance in cars Hey TTB follower, It's another beautiful day, join me as we look into more collection of technologies already offered that could be mainstream just a year or two from now in cars. In-car Internet Although pure Wi-Fi Internet access fromInternet a moving vehicle is still in the future — albeit the near future — there are systems that allow for surfing using cell phone technology. The first system to turn your vehicle into a Wi-Fi hotspot is Autonet Mobile. Using a portable router mounted in the trunk or other out-of-the-way location, this system uses a 3G network to supply an uninterrupted signal regardless of cell tower blind spots, tunnels and so forth. Chrysler currently offers its UConnect Web system in several models while Ford offers a system called Ford Work S Driver capability Although it might be beneficial to have a system that evaluates driver aptitude and shuts down the vehicle when incompetence is detected, we ar

PARADIGM WITH RYGLES Topic: EDGE Set apart by her difference Like a fish on land Struggles to fit in Never quite right She buries all that makes her To meet up with the status quo Never happy Never sad The indifference, like a poison Buries her slowly Killing her silently It's Comfortable, at first Then suddenly, She can't breathe She feels it Like an itch that can't go away She tries to rise above it She tries to move on with it In the midst of pain and silence She realizes too late Fitting in, is a big lie Her difference, was all she ever needed *Celebrate your difference, it's what makes you unique,  the very essence of your nature, your purpose and your drive. It's tempting  to go with the crowd, to be "Trendy" ,  to go with the popular consensus even when everything in you disagrees. As we grow, being true to our core might at the end save us in moments of trial, we learn each day, about ourselves and the environment.

PREMIER LEAGUE IS BACK After a summer of speculation, pre-season preparation and transfer tugs-of-war, the Premier League is back. All eyes will be on Anfield 8pm tonight, when Liverpool kick-off the 2019/20 Premier League season against newly-promoted Norwich. Jurgen Klopp and his men got a close-up look at defending champions Manchester City last weekend in the Community Shield. They saw a Pep Guardiola side ready to go again. Ready to scale the remarkable heights they have achieved in the past two seasons - and determined to climb even higher. But Liverpool showed they are ready, too. Their pre-season was far from ideal, but Liverpool's display at Wembley suggested they are set to go toe-to-toe with City once more. Last season, during the thrilling title battle between those two teams, every match, every point proved critical. Will Liverpool be celebrating come May? That is the message Klopp will be giving his players ahead of kick-off on Friday; start with intensity,

AN EYE Chapter Two. June 2014 Sarah had often wondered how it would feel like to have a man of her own. And for those periods while Jeremy had visited her shop, she had wondered how it would felt like to be dotted upon by that particular man. She wasn't a fool, and so knew that having a man wasn't the main course. Having a man who loved you was it. There weren't too many men like Jeremy in town and of course most men like Jeremy were married. The singles were living their youth, not ready to be tied down. And that's what she wanted, to tie one down. To come home knowing you were not going to be alone. To know that someone was going to be there or come for you. Working at the confectionery shop, she had made friends with a woman named Liv. Liv was much older and more experienced about life. Not in real sense anyways. More about men and how you could bend them to your will. Her words not Sarah's. The irony was lost on her though as Liv had two kids from tw

RACE TO THE BEST BEGINS The long-awaited shortlists for four of The Best FIFA Football Awards – the top individual awards in world football - have been revealed. The 42 names for The Best FIFA Men’s and Women’s Player and Coach awards are spread across five continents, with the global game truly represented across the nominees. The shortlists were selected by two panels of experts – one for men’s football and one for women’s football . Voting is now open for these four awards, and the decision will be split between four key pillars of the beautiful game: the players, the coaches, the fans and the media. The four groups of voters – namely: national team captains, national team coaches, selected media and the fan vote conducted on FIFA.com – are weighted evenly (25% each) when determining the final result. Two-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo will be hoping to reclaim his crown from last year’s The Best FIFA Men’s Player Luka Modric, while The Best FIFA Women’s Player trophy will have

Hi TTB followers welcome to autocare Future advance in cars Today we will discuss what cars will look like in the nearest future, there are lot of innovation, we will discuss just few here. Enjoy as you read. Electric cars Electric cars are here already but will be more prevalent. In 2016, more than 2 million electric vehicles were sold worldwide and this figure is expected to rise in the near future as more automotive manufacturers implement electric vehicle technology to their fold. One major reason for the rising popularity of electric cars is that they reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By 2030, this environmentally friendly car is even projected to reach up to 50 percent of new vehicle sales. Tesla is at the forefront of the fuel-efficiency movement, releasing a slew of electric and hybrid vehicles that can take you for hundreds of miles with a single charge. Companies such as VW and General Motors have recently unveiled electric cars to their fleet, while Volvo said tha

Yesso is the time we wear our sheepish smile and do the things we love because money is in our account lol, unfortunately this feeling doesn't last long, so Enjoy Guys! Enjoy responsibly.   Today, I'm going to be talking about our mind, I know this is a very weird topic to be talk about but somehow this is the most important thing about our whole existence. I saw a Video the other day about a great magician that reigned around the 90's, he was a really great magician, he did all sort of amazing magic, he constantly boasted that he could break free from the greatest prison in the world in seconds without any help, everybody wanted to see that happen, people were even willing to pay thousands to see that happen and then finally, the world most secure prison took him up on his claim and offered him the
