LEFTIE (A long read)

Some people are born left-handed while others are no. There is something sleek about the left hand. This is because when a leftie uses his/her hand to write or work there is certain strangeness to the whole activity. It seems one has to turn the head this way and that trying to understand how they (the lefties) do it. The preferred use of the left hand to the right is however not an issue of choice as some children are known to either be born with that preference or grow up with the habit. The left hand is associated with disrespect and bad manners in arguably many (if not all) Nigerian culture. There's this word they call people who make the best use of their right and left hands, okay I think I got the word "Ambidextrous". I'm a typical example of an ambidextrous person. Naturally I was born a leftie but as time went by, I noticed likewise my parents even though I never knew what it meant I could use my right hand to do certain things like dishes, laundry, eating an...

CODE SWITCHING

  Majority  or to an extent a large percentage of people "code switch". You might want to know what the term code switch mean.   Code switching is when a speaker alternates between two or more languages (or dialects or varieties of language) in one conversation.  Code switching occurs mostly in bilingual communities.

SUCCESS

“Some men may succeed, because they are destined to, but most men succeed because they are determined to”.   -Henry Ford     The rewards one gets in life are usually the results of one’s efforts. No man can hope to have a very easy life and also at the same time a very successful one. There may be only one or two exceptions in thousands of cases on this matter. It is astonishing what intelligent efforts can achieve when channeled in the right direction. If success had been easy, everyone would have been successful. However, the path to success is not as difficult to climb as it might appear. Each time we overcome an obstacle; the work becomes easier.   It is very necessary to work hard to achieve success. It is being said that if we love our work, we will never find it hard or tiring. There is no substitute for hard work. At the same time, there should be a purpose and a noble goal at which to aim and advance. We must decide our aim in life or what we want most out o...
