ETHAN AND THE VERY NICE MAN

-
Image
Ethan was known to be a reserved person. He lived alone and hardly communicate with anyone.  He was a recluse that hardly chat with people, not known on any social platform online (use non) and likewise in the neighbourhood. He goes about by himself and hardly known to move with anyone. A few folks who tried greeting him simply got a nod back in response, they felt rebuffed and stopped attempting to make friends with him. Ethan began to look more withdrawn each day and sad too, he stayed more indoors. Each time he comes out he looked older and unkept, beards grown, hair not combed, clothes rough, eyes looking sad. He had no friends, no one knew where he came from. All ignored him. Then suddenly he stopped coming out of the house. Four days before Ethan stopped coming out of his house, a stranger came to town to visit his brother who lived with his family just across Ethan's house. He was a Psychiatric Professor on leave for a few months. He flew in to spend some time w...

THE ALIBI

Image
Munta is a criminal that determined never to be caught. He took advantage of the Alibi in law to escape arrest and prosecution.  Alibi [n.]: The plea or mode of defense under which a person on trial for a crime proves or attempts to prove that he was in another place when the alleged act was committed; as, to set up an alibi; to prove an alibi.  Reasonably, under the law, you cannot be arrested for committing a crime when you were not at the scene of crime, quite logical. Munta explored this. He simply disguise himself with several disguise kits at his disposal to make him look like someone else, an old man. He first allow his neighbours to see him around his house, greet one or two persons around and then excuse himself to go watch the television. He lived alone. He enters his house, turns up the television, so nearby people could hear, place his phone on silent, leaving it on the dining table to ensure the location place it in the house. He does this at night, as...

The Automated teller Machine (ATM) deserves some commendation. Here it goes.  1. The ATM never makes mistake in debiting and crediting. Have you noticed it debits when you debit and has never credited you for debiting. It also does not miss its maths. It deduct exactly what should be deducted and not a dime less. The owner is happy and sleep in peace.  2. It is a very faithful servant. Once it's owner decide not to pay, the ATM cooperate with "out of service, dispense error...." and the owner sleep in peace.  3. The ATM does not get scared and cannot be bullied.

A simple story to lighten your mood. Kuicy is her name.. She is a young woman, pretty, five feet plus, chubby cheeks, average size, mild manners but quite a smart one. Her smartness had helped her find her way through several life terrain including finding her way, through illegal means, to a foreign country.

EXPLORE THE BENEFIT OF NATURE

All experts will tell you that the closer to nature and natural, the better for you. Natural is free and does not cost much.  Most of our modern processed stuffs and artificial lifestyle reduce lifespan. Nothing is as refreshing as fresh air. No air-conditioning system can do for you what fresh air can do and it is free. I am not canvassing a troglodyte lifestyle (savage who live in caves), but you can still harness the free gift of nature in your home, even though modern in design. You can be modern in the natural.  An added advantage of strolling in your compound with your loving spouse and children while plucking mango, orange, apples, berries, cashew, etc, from trees in your compound, eating them raw and fresh. A few pineapples, etc, will spice it up.  A great health benefit and cost saving too. Few things are as powerful as walking about in your spacious compound filled with well arranged nature. Proper planning can fix this. Surro...

THE LIVING ROOM

Some call it sitting room, palour or other names.  Many poor  live in houses without such : one room for the family, shared with others two room self-contained, etc. Unfortunately, many kids from poor homes never had the experience of a family living room, all they knew was a room or two for the family; sleep anywhere you can (most often on the floor), wake early to quickly use the one or two restroom and bathroom that they and other tenants share (some go to the bush or bathe outside in makeshift bathrooms under the open sky), leave the room for one another when privacy is needed, etc and generally survive in such an uncomfortable accommodation.  The idea of the living room was splendid. The architects or whoever conceived the concept had a good purpose. The living room is meant to be a mini recreation place for the family. You go out each day to hustle and work, pass through various forms of stress and then return home. The home shoul...

The bedroom is a symbol of rest.  A place of sleep where your mind is removed from all troubles. What if that translate into your reality. Consider a life that replicate these kind of bedroom. You can create it. A few tips that may help.  1. Don't pursue what will destroy you. Consider well. Ask, "will it come back to haunt me or destroy me ?" If yes, leave it. 2. Sorrow is when you miss what you do not have, peace and rest is when you celebrate what you have. Stop being sorrowful over what you do not have, consider what you have and enjoy it. Tell your mind to enjoy the moment. Arrange that small house to be as comfortable as you can make it. The truth is this, no matter how long you live in this world, ...
