 WHY POOR PEOPLE ARE POOR.  A lady asked me a question that confused me for few minutes.  She asked... "IS POVERTY A CHOICE OR A CURSE".  Actually, I didn't understand the question that moment, so I asked her to wait for me to think about it before I can give her an answer.  This was my answer "YES, POVERTY IS A CHOICE"  I know you are wondering, why answer it that way, don't worry I will make you understand "HOW POVERTY CAN BE A CHOICE". Before I move on, let me give you the meaning of poverty.  According Google, Poverty is the state of being inferior in quality or insufficient in amount. I will like you to underline the words "inferior and insufficient".  If you look around the world today, you will see that most people are in poverty because they are thinking that they are not good enough to do anything, maybe this may happen because of their environment, friends, parents and families. And because of this, they can not succeed in whate

 Lesson from coding I like it when my instructor started this class at Grand Style Computer Academy, being a person who loves computer, I was in love with  computer especially when it comes to web development. This is how it started, I learnt the skill of coding from my instructor in the person of Obong Nkem, I knew that I would become one of the best computer users who can  develop a website that attract the world's attention like my mentor. It was not easy from the beginning, I can still remember how I used to go to school by 6am just to attend web development classes.

The truth is, I couldn't put image on my website because my coding was wrong. Sometimes, I would be angry with my sisters who were in the room very close to my room. STOP MAKING A NOISE was the

 LIFE IN DARKNESS IS DEATH I had this inspiration two weeks ago when I was searching for my phone cable. The cable was in my bag, I searched everywhere in the bag and I couldn't found it because I was  in a dark room. I could remember, I spent much time looking for the cable in a dark room. But the moment I took my bag to where light shone I found  it. What am I trying to tell you, being in darkness can keep you in a particular place for a long time and can kill you before your time. Remember I spent much time searching for my phone cable in a dark room and I was stressed and confused. I believe, I wouldn't have found it if I didn't take it to where light was. Darkness can be ignorance, past mistakes, doubt, fear, unwillingness to learn etc. I will like you to  examine yourself if you are struggling with  all l listed above. Most of our young people are struggling in darkness. So, I charge young people to say no to DARKNESS! Know who you are, what you can do very well and w
