REVIEW ALERT: Literary Tic Tok of Animals.

I never thought of at this age reading a book where the animal, in this case cats, takes on real human feelings and emotions. In a way it is kind of funny. One point in reading this book, I could see the animals talking, drinking, and taking on real human attributes. This book is an anthology. The stories within these pages are well rounded. You can have a solid beginning, middle, and end in each one. Every story has some type of meaning or thought that the author is trying to get across. The story of Forgiveness took the spotlight for me. In this very short but to the point story gives a great example on how forgiveness should be granted and how all in the situation can walk away stronger and better than they came in. I am a big fan of short stories. These short stories are good quality stories with an antidote. This is the first time that I have ever encountered this. The illustrations in the book are very good also. There is a great companionship shown between the stories and i...

MOTIVATIONAL TONIC: Tough Times Don't Last. Tough People Do

 Written by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren Be brave. Don't be scared. When you wake up tomorrow, be brave and give thanks to God. On my way to the bank to sort out an issue, I saw a man around Lagos State University. He stood by the road, eating sand. Only God knows what happened to him. But I am not surprised. We are in a small world where the desire to make money overnight is paramount. I nearly filmed him but my conscience will not let me. To me, it is an offence to hurt a fellow that is vulnerable and may not know what he is doing. It is a wicked world. We have to be careful. Be patient. Don't hate yourself if you are not doing well. Stay focused and aim for the stars. Don't take a short cut because there are no short cuts to greatness. Wait for your time. Work hard. Work smartly. Life is in phases and men are in sizes. Wait for your time. Most likely, your present state is someone's prayer point and prayer request. That is life. Tough times do...

EXCERPT: Caught With Pants Down

Written by  Omoruyi Uwuigiaren It was a lazy evening. After a long hard day’s work, Jim Paterson stumbled out of his office to catch a bit of fresh air at his balcony as he awaited the arrival of his friend, Frank. The poor soul was an integral part of Jim’s life and their bond have reached the high heavens. Two creatures brought together by mutual love could no longer live apart. Jim is a perfect gentleman in good shape. Towering high, brown piggy eyes and his head like an egg. All the good things of this life are well within his reach including thin lips hidden under a heavy line of mustache. As Jim stared vaguely at the outside world, a lady whom he had barely knew alighted from a taxi at the other side of the road. She hung her bag on her shoulder and held it firmly to her body. Once the taxi drove off, it left trails of dust in the air, much to her dismay. She took out her handkerchief from the bag and covered her nose before the dust could invade her body and inflict havoc....

THIRD WAVE OF COVID 19: Slow Down the Advance of COVID 19. Fight the virus. Get Vaccinated

Written by  Omoruyi Uwuigiaren Tough times don't last.  Tough people do According to Aljazeera, countries are returning to lockdown due to the third wave of the deadly coronavirus. It means more people are not going back to their normal lives any time soon. If things stay this way, industries will not work at their full capacity. There will be hard times ahead, especially for third world countries that depend largely on imported goods from the West. This is not good for the fragile world economy. However, there are protests and anti-lock downs all over the world, especially in Europe and South America where the pandemic hit the hardest.  People want to get back to their normal life. They are tired of staying indoors, social distancing and not work. Also, there is frustration in the slow roll out of vaccines in Europe and elsewhere.  You cannot fight death from the point of ignorance and weakness. You can only do so from the position of strength.  Get vaccina...
