We were legit very Happy Why? Because we had no worries Anybody tell me what happened to those days??? Arrrgghhh I guess time and chance took it away from us Our only "worries" then were obeying mummy and daddy, going to school, having to run errands etc and above all wanting to grow up so desperately. Aside those, we were perfectly fine. Fast forward to our grown up days (now), we are too busy to even think of our own selves. Everyone just too busy doing a whole lot either physically, mentally, emotionally, spirit...

Welcome to another edition of the PENMASTERS!!! THIS IS COMMON SENSE BUT NOT COMMON PRACTICE. (SEE DIFFERENTLY) Oftentimes we tend to have Logical reasons why a task cannot be achieved, some reasons why you can’t start a business for instance, why you can’t pursue a dream or even create something new, something that never existed before. You say to yourself, because I don’t have the technical know-how I can’t perform this task, I can’t start, or do this business, in fact I will never be able to do it. Many a times we allow these “reasons” put us down, we let them stop us from taking a step further, then sit back and say, this goal is not achievable. But in reality it is. Here is something to note: we’ll do more and reach higher heights in Life if we begin to see the “reasons” why something (a task or goal) cannot be achieved as what we need to surmount for that particular task to be achieved. For example, if you begin to see your lack of a business know-how as what you need to overc...

Hallo fam welcome to another mindblowing episode of The Penmasters a place where readers meet writers!!! Today we are taking a new direction not your usual short story but a very educative post from Miss Rebecca sanni a law student and writer... So its time to feed our minds read below. THE EVILS OF MORDERNITY AND             EUROCENTRISM In a bid to not sound too archaic, I do believe our predecesors had tradition for a reason and as a result, things worked according to norms and practices. Unfortunately, our exposition to modernity has turned our thinking away from these traditions resulting into alot of things that we could have originally avoided if we just stuck to these traditions. It is not a bad thing to be educated or exposed but looking at it from my perspective, people only aim to know and not think. For instance, it was unheard of for a girl to openly express her feelings for a boy, rather the boy struggles to get the girl, that was how i...

TTB PENMASTERS is so lit this week we have another writer Vargaa with a very captivating piece tittled EJIRO... Let's get started on this piece that will definitely leave you wanting more... EJIRO. Ejiro. Her name was Ejiro. She was dear to me, my gem. She was a beauty, a true, black beauty with skin that glowed brighter than a a sun ray. Her beautiful face accentuated with prominent cheekbones, a straight nose, big dark brown eyes and full pouty lips. A true black beauty Ejiro was. She stood tall and proud amongst her mates, her figure could make a man lose track of his words as she had all the curves and assets that most girls use plastic surgeries to aquire. Her laughter was like music to my ears. I would watch her walk with her mates to the stream to fetch water, the way the golden sun reflected on her beautiful ebony skin as she threw her head back and laughed out loud without a care in the world, looking so impossibly beautiful with the 'suku' hairstyle sh...

Welcome to the first edition of the exciting  series - The Penmasters A place where writers meet readers!!! The pen masters is a platform created to help promote the work of writers that we have all over the country,  this talent which has been taking for granted has come to take its place as one that is just as valuable as any other.... And our first edition is a piece by our very own voice of the week Grace David!!! Tittled -Henna! HENNA The heat was like nothing I had experienced as the bus that had conveyed four of us to the rural area where we were to serve our fatherland drove into the crowded market place that rang with local music and laughter. Nwanneka hissed,"see the jaguda place wey they fit post person." I shared her thoughts but laughed along with Jesse and Mosugu, Nwanneka was one female who had no qualms with painting her thoughts in brilliant colours like my paintings from bygone days of laughter and family. We were to alight at the makeshift park ...

Good Morning TTB fam,   Hope you having a great day, been having a great day too so far until something happened... Hmm i mentioned that i am getting my industrial training experience a requirement for my course in a previous post ....so i happen to be doing mine in a hospital and of course we all know that it is said if you think you don't have reasons to thank God visit the hospital, but nothing is as touching as seeing a dead body being wheeled out of a ward or the theatre, which brings me to my story this morning today.   Few minutes after i reported to work i heard the sound of a woman crying and few minutes later a body was wheeled out..... I believe they didn't want to put him in the mortuary in this hospital because the family seemed to have come from a different town/state for treatment in this hospital    First thing that i noticed was the fact that while trying to put him in the car this time no one opened the car door for him, rather they opened the...

THE WOMAN Last night i laughed when she was defined as being female and the first picture used to depict her was her mammary glands hmmmm... The WOMAN the sole possessor of an inexplicable inner strength... The WOMAN taught the greatest quality of a leader from the day she is born, service..... The WOMAN given a delicate form but asked to perform the not so delicate function of giving life... The WOMAN the one whose role is often misinterpreted by confused feminist or power hungry people.... The WOMAN the irreplaceable creation placed on earth a beauty to behold,  containing so much love.... The WOMAN cries the most but endures the most ... Everyday they say to her you are weak, you are less, you do not deserve a voice, there is a place below and it is yours because they know that when she begins to rise,  she doesn't stop until she stands tall and strong, cause perfection is her nature... I am not a feminist, i am a woman who has so much to offer, but will be hin...

PURPOSE, PASSION, SUCCESS All great men or women that have ever succeeded in any field have been men and women of great passion and enthusiasm for their desired goal or cause. Great people across time that have made great impacts on the world during their time an even after their deaths for example Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, George Washington, John D. Rockefeller, and many others have been people that were extremely enthusiastic about what they believed in and so passionate about their cause. But at first, these were ordinary people like us, what made them so great. That answer is quite simple, they discovered their purpose. As you might have heard or read before, there are two great days in every man’s life; the day he is born, and the day he discovers why. Purpose according to the Bible is for God’s glory (read Isaiah 43:7). According to the English dictionary, it is defined as the reason for which anything is done, created or exists. From these we can conclude that purpose is s...

Hello wonderful TTB fam        I have been thinking all day and i decided to share. One of the greatest problems human's have developed is wishful thinking, over time man has developed a mindset that always makes us believe that another person's  'shoe' (life, family, job)  is better than ours.       We look at our friends and say i wish i was from your family,  we look at another person's love life and say i wish dat was mine and forget that you can only see what they decide to show but dont know what happens behind closed doors!!!       Social media has only made this worse every thing is perfect everyone posts...
