Kuwait: A Perfect Leading Model For Nigeria

June 24, 2017

The name "Kuwait" triggers that feeling of "What do you mean?" to almost any person around. I carried out a survey among children in my area. The simple question asked was "If you're opportuned to leave the country, which country will you like to visit?" Trust me, 90% of my respondents mentioned Europe with England, Spain, Germany and France leading the poll while the remaining 10% choose America(USA) and the Asian giants in Hong Kong, China, Japan, India and even the Philippines--with popularity being their major reason since they've been exposed to soap operas, sports and movies from the aforementioned places. Kuwait is a country in Western Asia. Situated in the northern edge of Eastern Arabia at the tip of the Persian Gulf, it shares borders with Iraq and Saudi Arabia.Kuwait is a constitutional state with a semi-democratic political system.

My Sunday Well Spent

June 13, 2017

On Sunday after church service I was strolling along the ever busy Umuebule Road, in Etche LGA of Rivers state. Just as I approached Luciano bar and Hotel, I noticed two motorcycles with three people on each bike at top speed. Every other vehicle on the road had to make way for them. Just as they got past me, I noticed the last person on the first bike brought out something I couldn't immediately identify and pointed it at the second bike coming after them.

Charity a gift of Love

May 20, 2017

If there is something worth looking for yet very hidden in the most delicate of places surely, it has to be you. In my quest to find you, I had toiled and wandered in places I thought I could find you. I looked everywhere I could, just to find a clue to get to you and make you want me. I have run circles around the sun chasing after you but it's no use. I was almost going out of my mind trying to find a way to get through to you, I know you don't know how hard I try and I try and kept trying.

Championship newcomers Bolton Wanderers have confirmed their retained and released list following the conclusion of the 2016-2017 season. Former Manchester City defender Reece Wabara has been informed that he won't be offered a new deal when he comes off contract on June 30. The 25-year-old arrived the Trotters in February 2017 and could only make one appearance for the team before he was declared surplus to requirements.
