Still struggling to come terms with the sad news that hit me with a dreadful sting few days ago.  I hope I recover from the shock and I pray the poor soul find his footing in this life or the next.  A man in his late twenties. Brilliant, tough and clever fell into a hole.  He was yet to recover from a girl he inpregnated in the village some years ago.  All efforts by the family to get him to marry the girl proved abortive.  Many years had past, yet he couldn't commit himself to the lady and his child who is now three years old. Angrily, the lady left him and relocated to the village with the child.  He said he was not ready to marry her. Not to talk of being a father to his own child.  While the parents wanted him to settle down and put his life together, the young man was never on the same page with his own family.  He was always sleeping around with women. There are several women in his life, most of which are prostitutes. He brings them home at...

In 2009, I wasn't prepared for all the fear and worry that popped up when I sat down to write my first book. Fear shifts when you start writing your book. You're not afraid to protect yourself and play small anymore.  You're feeling the fear, the uncertainty, of stepping into your brightest light.  If you're a new author, you might feel that fear and worry coming, so you have been avoiding being committed to writing. It's scary to relive what you've gone through when it's just for the sake of remembering. And if you've already started this journey, you're probably feeling like you're just crawling toward the finish line and have no energy for what might come next. Going through all of that is so draining. But let me tell you why you need to jump into it even though you're afraid.  And why you need to keep pushing when you're almost finished. As I got started, I realized my fear was coming from the past traumas I had experience...

My Transhuman Coin Smart Watch alerted me of an elevated Blood Pressure. It was around 9pm and we were inside the Bush for a bush dinner. This happened last week in Sun City. I soon started feeling chest pain and felt dizzy. I phoned my hosts and asked to get back to the hotel with my co-speakers. Getting to the hotel, the pain got worse so I got my people to get me an ambulance. In 3 minutes, 2 paramedics from the hotel arrived. 9 minutes later, a fully equipped ambulance arrived.  They offered me Aspirin because they thought I was having a heart attack. I declined and informed them that my anti-coagulant protects me better than an Aspirin. One of the paramedics recognised me and asked "are you Charles Awuzie?". I nodded in the affirmative. She said she follows me on social media and told her colleagues that I have good knowledge of my Biology. She saved me from explaining my history and also allowed pictures because she knows I'm doing a documentary of my li...

Carlos Henrique Casimiro  (born 23 February 1992), known as  Casemiro , is a Brazilian professional  footballer  who plays as a  defensive midfielder  for Spanish club  Real Madrid  and the  Brazil national team . Considered the best defensive midfielder in the last decade. If Man United get their man, he will be an upgrade to the bodies they currently have in the middle.  One of Scott Mctominay and Fred should be sold. To make way for another top talent. In my opinion, CASEMIRO alone is not enough to get United back on their feet.  Manchester United will need more bodies in the midfield. At least two top talents.  For now, I don't trust Bruno Fernandes. His form has tailed off. Welcome to Old Trafford, CASEMIRO!!!
