The old adage that goes ‘age is just but a number’ is stale news. More often, people who use that line are men dating older women or young girls dating extremely older men. They use the cliché line to justify their actions. Living in an era where everyone is entitled to his opinion and anyone …
This is for the 20 year olds. If you are below 20s or 30-something and above, please grab your snack and cruise the door behind you. It’s crazy being on this line, folks. A looooot, like a looot happens on this gap (from 20 to 29). I have literally seen my primary schoolmates become parents, …
It’s quite rough having a girlfriend and not having a house where you can, you know, fornicate a little. So, you either borrow your friend’s house or become celibate. This is common among comrades. In my first year, I didn’t have a crib. I was staying in the hostels. Life in the hostels wasn’t that …

There is no better feeling than waking up to a phone full of charge, dancing at 100% – full charge. But folks, have you ever tucked your phone to charge overnight, anticipating to wake up to a 100% charge only to realise that you didn’t switch on the socket? This story is no different, just, …
