A SHORT REALITY ON GROUND.

The pains of being used and dumped comes with grinding of teeth and regret when one remember.

It is actually what it is that we have allowed ourselves to be used by some persons to advance their selfish course.

From relationships, church, political fold etc, we give in too much not knowing the intent of the other person since we can't read their heart's message.

Politically, lots of political mobilisers, grassroots campaigners, and even individual who at one point felt they were doing the right thing have been used and dumped by those they felt was their man.

"Do you know that my incumbent l.g.a chairman, during his campaign, asked me to sell my car in order for me to help him actualised his dream of becoming the chairman....."

".... afterwards he didn't pick my calls as often has he used to call me when he was nursing his intention." (name withheld).

This has always been the case in politics and other sphere of life but the annoying part is that we have failed to learn our lessons.

Political thugs, boys as they would loved them to be called, campaigners, mobilisers and supporters have had to swallow their bitter pills as most of the political aspirants used a lot of them to advance their self-centered course.

I have just read about one Mr (name withheld) declaring his intention for one political office in Mkpat Enin LGA as we dance towards the chairmanship elections calendar.

My concern for Mkpat Enin LGA is the credibility of the aspirants for the chairmanship seat bearing in mind what we have been experiencing over the years.

My concern is also on Mkpat Enin students' welfare across all the institution of higher learning in Nigeria.

My concern is further on who really have the interest of Mkpat Enin youths at heart.

Not some kind of chairman that would used Mkpat Enin youths to actualised his dream and after dumped them for good.

My concern is a chairman that will be picking your calls without you having to call PAs.

Don't allow one use you to advance his selfish course.

DON'T LEAVE WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.

The story . Udauk was too weak to continue with the evening chores around the house because of her pregnancy. She bent over the kitchen cabinet in search of a tuber of yam she was to prepare before her husband returned from work. At the point of stretching her hands to reach the tuber of yam under the cabin, she felt a sharp pain down her abdomen. Her left lap was swollen from the beating she got the previous night from the monster's husband. She was still short of three months from her due month. That's when she was to put to birth. The shape pain was accompanied by a loud scream. She dropped the knife she had with her and tried to settle on a table-size stool lying close to the gas cylinder in the kitchen, but she couldn't. She fell and started screaming, reached out to her phone, and dialed her husband. Mr. Sam had branched Madam G's Native Kitchen to settle for a while before heading home as his habit demands. He was busy at his usual joint with a bottle of chill

Social Media: Are we swallowed by it? It is alarming yet no longer news the rate of social media usage since the turn of the millennium. Social Media has become a tool in nearly every 9/ 10 persons we meet everyday of our lives. In fact it is estimated that youth particularly engaged in social Media taking 8/9 hours a day out of the 24hrs. Without doubt, social media has come to enhance and add more meaning to our daily life. Since the advent of social media in the early part of the millennium, the rate people get involve in these wonderful platforms keep increasing on a daily basis. To some youth and some fraction of older people, social media is like oxygen. They can't stay a moment without. A lady once said that she can't stay without visiting her Facebook page in a day. With the number of people flooding the Social media on per second basis, one will wonder if these technology has any bad effect at all. Millions of people use social media as it is the trend now,

JOURNEY OF NO RETURN.

The story. The atmosphere was heavy, that of apprehension and uncertainty as Iquo stared at the open space leading into the compound. It was around 10:33pm that evening. A time in Ikot Ekim community when every household had put off their lamps and retired to bed. The nocturnal sound of night creatures made the night even more looming and intense. Nsek has never stayed out so late no matter how fierce any argument with his wife was. In their 24 years of marriage, no matter the nature of the fights Iquo has had with her husband he will always come back home to rest in his hut. As time ticked away, she stared at the open compound, struggling to fend off the call of nature with the hope her husband would appear at the far end of the compound. Using her hand to support her chin, she wondered how things could change so fast. Her husband Nsek was no longer the man she married. He picked fights at every little argument and would end the night with curses, accusing Iquo of turning his on
