What you must do during this lockdown!

Things you must do during this lockdown!

1. Get married! It may sound awkward for one to think marriage at a time like this, but it is a very good priority to grace your to-do list. A lot of intending couples whose marriage ceremonies have been put on hold because of this pandemic should go ahead and tie the knots, because there would be a lot more at stake when the coast finally becomes clear. It is to your advantage,as you will have to jettison your earlier plan of a spending spree for a modest ceremony involving a few important personalities, without flouting the social distancing rule. It will also be an opportunity for more emotional bonding as you have all the time in the world to get to spend together. If your partner is from a neighbouring village or town, a very quiet and uneventful traditional wedding can be done with the fewest number of people possible. Get a "man of God" to do the needful,if you fancy that. You are good to go!

2. Avoid frivolous phone calls! A lot of us are guilty of this. A cursory look at the amount you have spent so far in recharging your phones this period will send your heart racing. What is more annoying is the nature of such calls. While communication with family and friends is essential, doing so without restriction will soon land you in a mess,and those you wasted the money calling will not be there to rescue you! If you have a smartphone, do more of WhatsApp call, messenger call and all that. Or at best, USE SMS. All the network providers give ten free sms to all subscribers a day. Maximize it!

3. Use lite version of Mobile apps to minimize data consumption.
We spend all day online these days, either chatting, watching movies or reading news updates. A lot of money is spent on data. Using lite version of apps makes you save a lot of data,and invariably money. Instead of the data hungry apps like YouTube and Facebook, use YouTube go and Facebook lite. Stay away from Instagram if you are conscious of your data consumption. Some phones have a feature called "WhatsApp mode." This mode when activated, limits your data consumption only to WhatsApp. Phones like Tecno and Infinix have such this feature.

4. Avoid stupid charity
Can charity work be stupid? A very big YES. You can't give what you don't have. Trying to attract public praise or elicit public adoration by giving what you need is stupidity. While it's good to render help to those in need, do not do so to your own detriment. Love your neighbor AS YOURSELF.

5. Avoid Sexcapades!
Temptation is real, especially for the single ones. This is the time for you to truly zip up. You need to keep every single penny U can keep. Take it or leave it, just like food,sex is a daily need. But unlike food,it can be suppressed when there are more serious factors on board. Spending money renting chalets and other mostly inevitable but negligible stuffs Futher puts you in a mess. Stay celibate if you can.

6. For the married, patronize contraceptives
This is not the best of times for procreation, especially of you already had one or more already. Our parents contributed to the present problems besetting us today by "multiplying and filling the earth," without considering the resources to nurture and grow the 'seeds.' There is no doubt that there would be increased sexual activity between couples this time around, they should ensure that conception is out of the way for now. Providing daily bread is now a huge challenge,let alone adding more problems to the existing ones. Enjoy,but play safe.

RELATIONSHIP RUINED BY ZEE WORLD

 Story by Chukwudi Anagbogu  In the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, evenings once meant family time—gathering around the dinner table, sharing stories, and connecting over meals. But things began to change when Zee World, the Indian television channel showcasing Hindi dramas, became a household staple. It all started innocently enough. Adama, a young woman in her late twenties, was drawn to the elaborate storylines and dramatic twists of the telenovelas. With their glitzy portrayals of love, betrayal, and family drama, she found herself mesmerized by characters like Rani and Raj. Each night, she tuned in, eager to see how the latest episode would unfold. At first, Adama’s enthusiasm was infectious. Her younger brother, Chike, and her parents would join her on the sofa, laughing and gasping at the ridiculous plot turns. But as weeks turned into months, something shifted. Adama began prioritizing her viewing schedule over family interactions. Dinners turned quiet as everyone wa...

SEX GONE WRONG: A TOUCHING STORY

  By Chukwudi Anagbogu  In the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, life moves fast. Among the endless honking of cars, the vibrant chatter of market vendors, and the warm tropical breeze, lived a young woman named Amaka. At twenty-four, she was a soft-spoken, diligent student of Accounting at the University of Lagos. Life for her had been a steady rhythm of family, studies, and church. Amaka had always been the dutiful daughter—never one to step out of line, and she upheld her moral values with a deep-rooted sense of pride. But like many young women her age, Amaka longed for something more. Though she was content with her life, a part of her wondered about love—the kind of love she read about in novels and heard about in songs. She had seen friends fall in love, sometimes stumbling and getting hurt, but other times finding happiness. Yet, she had always been cautious, holding her heart close and believing that love would find her when the time was right. That time came when she m...

DO THE DEAD CARE?: FULL STORY by Chukwudi Anagbogu

   Stories by Chukwudi Anagbogu (+2348061199777) In the heart of Nigeria, beneath the sweltering sun and among the lush green hills of Igbo land, lay the village of Umuokoro. Surrounded by thick forests that whispered ancient secrets and a river that flowed like a living vein through the land, Umuokoro was a place where tradition and the modern world intersected. The people here held fast to their beliefs, passed down through generations—stories of spirits, ancestors, and the unseen forces that governed their lives. But in recent years, something had begun to change. It was subtle at first, a sense of unease that settled over the village like a fine mist. People whispered about strange occurrences in the night, of shadows moving in the corners of their homes, and of voices that spoke from the air, calling their names. It was said that the dead were returning, walking among the living once more. At the center of the village stood the house of Chief Emeka, the village leader. He...
