Skilled but Unemployable; Where is the Problem?

One thing that is a reality in the world today is the increasing number of skilled professionals. This may not be a global reality because countries are endowed differently.

A World Without Social Media

Thinking about a world without social media (SM) in A.D 2021 is a thought almost unheard of. In this time and age when our lives have been intertwined with SM, we cannot imagine a world without status updates and timeline updates. We cannot imagine a life without double-tapping on Instagram photos, a lot of which […]

Whose Boyfriend are You?

I think it’s out of sympathy,That the world is celebrating today,All the boyfriends.So you are a boyfriend, A nice boyfriend who has committed himself with a passion put to use to some damsel,Who now can, with confidence,Disappoint all who knock at their emotional doors with a four a letter word that men do not want […]

It is also based on a concept that erupts different responses from people—heaven and suicide. Whereas suicide is an undeniable reality that has and keeps wreaking havoc in our society, Heaven is […]

I Still Love Beautiful Things

I may have had it rough and bumpy,The highway screeching and screaming,But I still love beautiful things,I will hold on to the steering wheel a little while,For I can’t give up hope,Or, to be bolder, giving up is too costly for me. The journey looks endless,The horizon stretching afar off,But I still love beautiful things,And […]
