HAMPER OF GOOD THINGS FOR ALL MY READERS A end of the year hamper with goodies for you all. Unpack, place in your kitchen, pantry or refrigerator and enjoy the contents. Cheers.  A PERSONAL OPINION Just a quick one in response to the Government of my country Nigeria on the new policy to be commenced in January 2026 across all banks. The policy says no matter how much you have in your account, you cannot withdraw more than N500,000 a week for individuals and N5m for corporate. ATM withdrawal limit is N100,000 a day. Excess withdrawals will be by permission and will attract 3% charges for individuals and 5% charges for corporate.  I personally think this should be reconsidered for the following reasons.  1. From the little Economics I read in school, I think , by law, the money in the bank is your money, not the bank's money nor the government's money. You deposited it in trust, not donated it to the bank. The law that established banking gives every...

AI has arrived and performing many feats. See one.  A major reason you must not believe everything you see online and in places until you verify. You can be turned to a movie actor without having the slightest idea you are acting. You can sit in your house and make movies. People can be made to say and do things they never did. I think there should be laws in place to regulate it's usage because of abuse.  One lesson from AI is the ability to create a world of your dreams and see it right before you. What if you can spend a few minutes to just dream and enjoy the world and the life you desire, actually the first step to achievement ; conception. That is what AI does. Actually, until you see it clearly before you and go for it the right way, you cannot have it.  IF YOU CANNOT DREAM IT, SEE IT, CREATE IT IN YOUR MIND, THEN YOU CANNOT HAVE IT.  AI makes this possible. I tried my hands on some ideas. See me in place. My store I visualise. ...

One step at a time. Start and keep going.  It might look hard, tough and confusing, but the law of process says as long as you don't stop going in the right direction, you still stand a chance of getting there. Not stopping is part of the process and process is a law. The only catastrophe is if you are journeying in the wrong direction, then you end nowhere. Before you bake the bread, learn the recipe. The ingredients needed, how to mix and other steps needed to get the banana bread or the kind of bread you want. Learning always precede doing. If you miss the learning part, then you miss it all. Be an apprentice, read, watch others do it; get the basic know how and then start. If you learn in what you are naturally gifted in, it becomes easy to learn. This is a true story. A young man that had no interest in mechanic work was sent to a mechanic workshop to learn. He kept skipping work, running off and didn't learn anything. His master got tired of flogging him for l...

Let's briefly discuss a subject that appears simple but not as simple as it looks.  Simply defined by me : friends are people you move with in your inner circle. They are different from family or staff, they are people you usually call your "homies or buddies...". These are people you share your heart with, chat with and often spend time with. Actually, you need friends in life for several reasons : love, understanding, mutual care and help, connections and to help one another rise in life. Take note of the last point. Friends must help you rise, not press you down. Life often throw them at you as you go about your daily activities. Unfortunately, if you are not wise and you make or keep friends without balancing them with your vision in life or are just emotional about it, you may end up having lots of them but getting nowhere in life. In fact, the wrong ones will ensure you never rise. Let's break it down.  First of all, you must always make this a yards...

STORIES THAT TEACH A LESSON. It was a Tuesday, the ocean a dazzling expanse under the Trinidad and Tobago sun, a sight Surfer Thots still found profoundly unsettling.  Her home planet, Xylos Prime, was a dust-blown orb where water existed only as a concept in ancient texts. The sheer, overwhelming wetness of Earth was a constant assault on her senses, yet also a source of strange fascination. She'd observed humans "surfing" for weeks, memorized countless instructional videos, and even theorized about the hydrodynamics. Today, she was determined to translate theory into practice.  Her board, a gift from a curious local named Mr. Toks, felt alien under her feet. He was an "experienced surfer," a man whose skin was permanently tanned and whose eyes seemed to hold the rhythm of the tides. Thots had initially bristled at his gentle suggestions, her Xylosian pride demanding self-reliance. Now, bobbing in the deceptively calm water, she felt a tremor of unc...

He came from the yet unknown region far away in the outer space. Actually, the exploration chiefs of that outer space region watching activities in other planets while ensuring their own region remain unknown, had their eyes on planet earth and wanted to explore it. They are very smart and have been able to penetrate many planets without being suspected, thus gathering enormous intelligence about them. A simple strategy they use is to send in a child alien with limited knowledge and no technical skill into a planet in the dead of the night. They come in, drop him off and go. The child will be asleep throughout the journey. He will simply wake up in a different environment. They first alter his DNA back home in such a manner that as he grows he looks exactly like the inhabitants of the target planet so no one will suspect he is not one of them. He will also have the ability to hear and speak foreign language with ease. The child will be innocent and would not eve...

STORIES THAT TEACH A LESSON Far away in the Betreka Nebula, somewhere among the planets in the Archanis sector lived a princess called Archanis whose parents named after their sector.  Being a spoilt child, she always want to have her way.  When her druid parents noticed this, they decided to correct that character in her. At her next birthday she asked her parents for a very expensively packaged buffet for her and all the guests she wish to come. Her parents refused, offering her a simple lunch at home for the family. Archanis was enraged and she decided to leave home as a punishment to her parents. She sneaked into one of their interstellar shuttles that she really didn't know how to operate, pressed the wrong buttons and the craft took off.  Whoosh....and within few hours she landed on planet earth in a deserted jungle where no one live. The auto operate craft designed to blend with any planet or place and equipped with a...

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...

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. Go with any mood, it does its job and does not give a damn and the owner sleep in peace.  4. A very gentle thing. Cry, scream all you want, the ATM never respond and the owner sleep in peace.  5. You cannot bribe the ATM. Any money you deposit through it goes straight into your account and not its own account. It does not defraud it's owner and the owner sleep in peace.  6. The ATM is ve...

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. Her slogan was "do your work", also her way of dodging inquisitive questions too probing for her. She will simply reply "do your work" and walk away.  Her smartness had made life easy for her until a slip made it play a fast one on her. She decided she wanted more. She's been living in the country and working without proper papers without anyone suspecting her. Kuicy lived a simple life and able to pay her bills. She was still single. Well, she decided to embark on a new assignment that would fetch her some real income. She actually had business skills as a personal natural gift and also had a diploma in that field of study, but illegally upgrad...

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...
