I get so many Facebook messages from some "picture less" people, bearing names that you can't really tell the origin. I have so many of them in my inbox. They bear funny names like Tessy Kuru, John Palamos, Taim Radi, Ebertha Maestre and Starr Welch. They start with a simple "Hi", and when you respond, the next message you get from them is something like this: "Please I am not really regular on Facebook, could you please send a mail to me on  dadada  so, I can then respond with my pictures."  Na wetin?  Did I ask for your picture? Well I understand that they are all fraudsters but I just like to taunt them and they leave after a while.  The scenario above is what happened to me while searching for the contact of James Olloh. I sent him a message on Facebook, and after two days without getting a response, I went through his contacts, saw someone bearing same surname with him and sent a message to the person asking for James' contact. Hehehehe, fiv

I wont be writing much. DO you think churches should pay tax? When Nigeria recently recalculated her GDP to incorporate some other sectors like e-commerce, Nollywood and the rest, some people were of the view that churches should have been added because they make mega millions, from tithes, offerings, and other free will donations. What do you think? Should churches pay tax? Should mosques pay tax? Let me know in the comment section.

I had the opportunity to go for a hostile environment training course in Nairobi, Kenya. For personal and professional reasons, I will leave the bit about my training. Sorry I'm also not gonna share pictures of the training. Okay, so back to my gist, we landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi at about 7am in the morning. Airport formalities took less than 30 minutes, and then a two hour drive to the camp - Malewa Wildlife Lodge. This is a place that is worth visiting. Almost everything here is built from natural material, using indigenous building methods. The rooms are built with mud, thatch and a little bit of cement, the windows are built with leather and a zip to either open or shut it. No keys to the doors, just a small wooden latch to hold it in place. With no fences and animals moving freely, it took me over two hours to accept the fact that I was going to sleep in a room without proper locks.....We were also given torches and whistles, once in your room,
