The Dieing We




We now live in a world where premarital sex isn't an issue at least 'it's not your body' they say but that's for another day,taking drugs has become abusive, 'living your life' is no more the deal but trampling on other people's right and gain is an ambit beginning to selfish greatness and getting really connected to diverse wealth and little lose of which they know, creating an atmosphere prone to fraudulent acts and crime.The young minds they say when idle becomes the devil workshop, it ain't the young now but the old too.

Our generation thrives from a legacy left behind by some so called Emeritus Elite, who claims and believe in their own words that, 'the best is yet to come'. Oh! how sad this revelation influence a negative reproach that, the worst is yet to come.Taking all kinds of alcoholic beverages and drinks, drugs with unknown origin prescribed by quack roadside doctors and retail sellers from various gang and bandit marketers being their wholesalers is now the new norm in my neighborhood.

When I was in school and we have exams with limited time to read, students drink coffee  or nescafe to avoid sleep.We know it contains caffeine and it shouldn't be taken at all times to prevent addiction at least we know.What about taking a drug we don't know...they say the devil you know is better than the friend you don't know.From some research I made, this drug abuse epidemic has escalated to a depressing level due to frequent intake and its consistent circulatory network in distribution.Its believed that,
everyone knows about this shit, even very small children.Its being recognized and identified using coded name like 'igbo' meaning bush, squeeze,' enugbe' meaning mouth is dry, 'sharki' this is synonymous to marijuana and crac and the list goes on.

The side effects are simple it's already on Google, but the behavioral changes are different depending on the type of drug taken,the quantity or dosage, mode of intake and the mood of the individual before intake.We know, I know my generation is of a curious mind, some of us maybe too curious,but we still learn about the consequences, I mean the ultimate consequence.Some of us do,but not all.Why? Because we are different,we are from different family and environment, some don't even have any of this.Don't get me started on how this happened, it's from little laws; broken homes, poverty, disaster mismanagement, unfair justice on rape and crime cases just to mention a few.I try my best to teach,tell and write about this things in love and understanding, some NGOs too and concerned individuals.
The rate at which mentally retarded individuals whose source of illness is from drug abuse roam the street is threatening, for one ,we need more rehabilitation centers, youth need to be told the ugly truth in love and understanding.The ultimate consequence of drug abuse is youthful death. Please don't abuse drug.

Prevention is better than Addiction.

  Photo by Sebastian Knoll on Unsplash  There lived a man named Samuel. Samuel was a kind-hearted and humble individual. He spent his days volunteering at the local shelter, assisting those in need, and spreading love and compassion wherever he went. One day, as Samuel was going about his usual routine, helping his neighbors and tending to his business when he noticed an unusual commotion in the town square. People were gathered, whispering amongst themselves with grave expressions on their faces. Curiosity piqued, Samuel made his way towards the crowd, eager to understand what was happening. As he approached, he overheard snippets of conversation mentioning the "rapture." Intrigued, Samuel inquired further, only to discover that according to the beliefs of some, the rapture was an event where the righteous would be taken up to heaven, leaving the rest of humanity behind to face a time of great tribulation. As the discussion unfolded, Samuel realized that some people were act...

Finding Solace In The Waters

  Jared Erondu In a bustling city, there lived a man named Thomas who was burdened with worries and anxieties. One day, a friend suggested that he take a break from the chaos of city life and visit a nearby waterfall known for its tranquil beauty. Reluctantly, Thomas embarked on the journey, unsure of what to expect. As he approached the waterfall, he was mesmerized by the sight of the water cascading down the rocks, creating a symphony of sound. The mist from the waterfall gently kissed his face, and a sense of calm enveloped his troubled heart.

The sight and sound of the waterfall became a metaphor for God's grace and healing power, washing away the burdens of his soul. From that day forward, Thomas made it a habit to visit the waterfall regularly. Each time, he would pray, meditate, and find ...
