“State Of The Nation” by Philip Ebuluofor

“How do you mean by that?” “Not how do I mean, never me?. I tell you what they said is the route they are on now in this madness” “But why are people so dumb to this extent, even if you are a kid, you can tell A from B in the situation of this nature?” “Who will be the one hearing that your A from B eh? Do you think those saying that nons...

“When Reality Is Just The Opposite” by Philip Ebuluofor

Self-respect is what most people don’t have and don’t know how to acquire looking at things and events these days. Nothing beats self-confidence in most people's opinion.

Why some don’t eve...

“Creating Your Own Luck” by Philip Ebuluofor

That is how it is. Whenever it’s the new year, people always hustle here and there, rushing like Russians only to retreat later with excuses and wreak of the highest order behind them.

“Mouthy Officers And Inmates” by Philip Ebuluofor

 Freedom in certain foreign prisons is subject to work, good manners( as defined by the officers), loving yourself and your neighbors as you love your mama. Funny, right?

“JUJU Portion Kingdom” by Philip Ebuluofor

He is the latest noise in the region. His fame extends even beyond the region. To all Christians that hear his name, it signifies an avenger of some sort. I could not believe it the first time I saw him live. He looked like Jesus if the pictures of Christ aren't playing tricks on us.   Not big, not small, the weight equals the height. That is ...

He had been sitting in the waiting room for about thirty minutes. The disrespect as he sees it is getting to him. Whatever the king might think of him or wherever he is grading him, he knows who he is and that is a lesson he is not going to sit there for anyone to re-educate him on no matter what the person thinks of himself or the position he is occupying. King or not. He sig...
