You owe no one an apology for saying the truth, expressing your opinion on a particular issue. Screaming to the high heavens your displeasure. You owe no one an apology for being yourself. Most times people try to make us feel bad about ourselves when we express US. They expect us to be fashioned in a sort of way; speak this way and say these words; Sit this way and look that way. This should not be. If anyone cross a boundary with you never be afraid to say it, point it to them, shout it, express your feelings and vexation. If it offends them, well! Too bad... They will not forget easily where the boundary mark is. But one thing you must never do is apologize for who you are ! Whether you are a man, or a woman wear your true colour like a crown.

Girls, our girlfriends (who live with us) and wife. Jimoh will open the floor with everyone laughing at how his girlfriend exploits him of every penny he makes even though it was obvious she earned more than him.

Is it me or have you also notice the rise in temperature of late? The heat is so excessive, it's much, in fact enormous. This makes me wonder, if we in the west are feeling this much heat what about those in the northern part of Nigeria; those in Taraba, Adamawa, Sokoto, (including my people in Niger) and the others. Please endeavor to drink sufficient water, if possible always go around with a bottle of water in hand. Take less of carbonated drinks and more of water. Keep you windows open for proper ventilation, periods like this usher in meningitis, chickenpox and the likes. Use sunshade not necessarily for the sun but to prevent the sand debris the hot breeze blows from getting in to your eyes leading to some nasty irritations. Avoid clothing that conduct heat. Please box that leather jacket till December. Wear more of cotton materials. Wear loose clothing. Leave...
