Love at First Sight

Stunned 😧 Image: istockphoto.com

Upon the first gaze, my heart did race,

For her mystical beauty, an ethereal grace.

She is in her prime youth, a flawless truth.


Vibrant and passionate in her actions too,

A filtered saccharine voice, to her one succumbs.

Compassionate eyes, innocent and pure,

A sight to behold, forever to endure.


Manners impeccable, leaving one breathless,

One of the most stunning dames, truly ageless.

An inspiration, a muse to my heart,

She's the one, my new resort.

An Overview of My NYSC Experience: What You Should Know

Image
Established in 1973, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) aimed to facilitate national integration after Nigeria suffered from a civil war that spanned from 1967-1970. The scheme's objectives were straightforward: to “reconcile, reconstruct, rehabilitate” and mend the lines of divide and distrust among Nigerians. Furthermore, the scheme aimed to instill discipline, a genuine sense of patriotism, and personal development in the youth service corps. Tertiary institution graduates below the age of 30 are the eligible candidates who are mobilized in batches A, B, and C, as well as Streams I & II, to undergo this tasking journey. They are then deployed across the six geopolitical zones of the country to undergo a three-week on-camp orientation followed by a one-year national service.  Arriving at the Orientation Camp Upon arriving at the Kaduna State temporary orientation camp, Government College, Kurmin Mashi, at sunset, I was greeted by different security officials ...

African Democracy and Leadership Trust in Ruin

Former Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba (Brookings Institute)  A few minutes ago, I read one of the many newsletters I receive from Brookings Institute on Foresight Africa, which discussed and explained how Africans, particularly in the Western region, are tired of their public office holders. This frustration is associated with the recent waves of coups by junta military leaders in countries like Niger, Mali, Gabon, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Chad.  The author of the article, Ebenezer Obadare, a Senior Fellow at Brookings and a member of the Africa Studies program on Council of Foreign Relations, asserted that for African leaders to regain the trust of their citizens and prevent their overflow abroad to seek better life and working conditions, they must radically change the perception of public office as a center of accumulating public resources without regard for its effect. Additionally, he opined that there is also a need to address the "poverty of physical ...

How My First True Love Story Ended

Image
Myself 🤨 The day had been long and stressful. I got back to the hostel at 6 p.m., weary from lectures. Suleiman Hall in ABU Zaria is often congested in the evenings with students trudging to their rooms, mosque, or toilet. I can't remember the date, but the hostel was as noisy as usual when I entered. The noise level was high, with music blaring from some rooms and laughter and conversation echoing down the corridors. My room was on the second floor of block F4, but that day I chose to go to my friend's room, which is on the ground floor to perform ablution and pray the Maghrib Prayer. When I walked into the room, all of the kettles were taken. I had to wait for someone before I prayed. My phone rang as I was waiting for my turn. I answered the phone, and an unknown woman's voice on the other end greeted me. "Please, is this Adamu?" she inquired. "Yes, who is this?" I replied quickly. She went on to say that her friend gave her my phone numb...
