Dear Dr. Nyaregh
I haven’t heard from you since the general retrenchment in Benue Cement Company (BCC) where many staff including my father were fired. I am here wondering if you are alive and I really hope you are. Do you remember me? I choose to call you Doctor even though am pretty sure you were a senior nurse when I was admitted […]

Small Beginnings, Big Dreams
I have been obsessed with entrepreneurship for the past 2 years for a simple reason; I read a book called ‘The Unfair Advantage‘ by Robert Kiyosaki. He said when someone wants to be a pilot they go to aviation school, a wannabe doctor goes to medical school but when we want to start a business we just look for a […]

The Most Vulnerable Adult
The most vulnerable adult is the woman waiting for a fruit of the womb. She is ridiculed, has lost her sense of self and is gullible to anything filtered to her that can bring forth a child. She is led high and low, to doctors and spiritual healers. Confesses to all sorts and checks her family tree for issues. She […]

My Dreams Are Coming True
You all know how I love Arts and how I use the Human body as my canvas. This has been my passion since I was a little girl and I made it. In Primary School: I was the best fine arts student. I would draw and sculpt with clay……. Anything at home was raw materials… Omo! I destroyed stuff. My […]

Here Is The 80/20 Rule
The other day a couple of my old girls came by and we ended up in a heated conversation over courtship, relationships, marriage and all the ships in between; divorce, separation, complicated, single parenting. This gave birth to my musing for today. As individuals do we seriously sit and pen down what we are looking for in a partner or […]

Humanitarian Visits To Wuese, Konshisha And Ugbema, Buruku Local Government Areas Of Benue State. Impacting Lives
AIM (Advocate for the Interest of the Masses) We missed church on this day; a Sunday, but our convictions remain that, doing the humanitarian works of love, there shouldn’t be regrets and we gladly left the shores of Makurdi by 7am, traveling, first to Anyiorikyo-Wuese, deep into the hinterlands of Konshisha Local Government Area. We plied a not so good […]

The Power Of “You CanNot”
At age 9, I remember gleefully climbing the staircase which led to the primary 3 classrooms where the fine art club weekly meetings were held when surprisingly, I was welcomed with “What are you doing here? “Do you see any girl here? “She is always odd… I just stood there, trying to understand what was going on. You fell and […]

I Love Me An Expressive Woman
Semi nude! Usually, I try to stay out of stuff like this but I’ll make an exception. While what I’m saying may just be my opinion, it will certainly include some facts. We live in a society where our Nigerian men have set unreasonable expectations for women to follow and adhere to. Anything outside of the conversational thought process get […]

Beating Doesn’t Make Your Wife To Respect You Or Make You The Man
I earlier wrote that a woman should not be beaten by her spouse, I wanna still reiterate it. I’ve been working in the labour ward of the hospital in the last five weeks and I’ve witnessed and taken no less than 50 deliveries. In all of these, I’ve carefully observed the unique joy that greets the delivery of male children. […]

Danger Looms In Makurdi As The Rains Set In
Makurdi Local Government: Today’s farmers day was not a waste even as I could not attend to my farm due to lack of funds occasioned by non payment of salaries especially to those about 1000 staff who last received their salaries in May last year. I have never disobeyed government directives and would not have done so on a policy […]
