I HAD A FORMER SISTER

On September 10th, 1992 (we lived in Bauchi town at that time), our former kid sister died from complications of measles. It was devastating, to say the least. Her name was IFEOLUWAPO ABIGAIL OBAFEMI.

From the moment she died, our family foundation was shaken for a long time. Dad was really heartbroken. His ‘mini woman’ was gone. Mum was inconsolable. Her ‘reward’ was gone. I do not know how my brothers mourned her. They were only 11 years old. I was just almost 13 years old at the time, a month to 13. I recall being blank. I did not associate the death to any feelings for a very long time until sometime February 1993 when I was a boarding student at United Faith Tabernacle College, Jos. Plateau State

TECNO AND INFINIX COULD JUST BE TIMED MACHINES.

4 years ago, we bought an office phone for our bulk SMS. Did I tell you that since we observed that internet SMS loses over 30-50% of messages (that is between 30-50% of recipients never got our SMS blasts sent via internet SMS), we switched over to sending SMS via regular phone line to our over 1,000 customer lines, whenever we needed to?

SHEKAU DIED THIS WEEK: MY BUSINESS OPINION ABOUT IT.

Whether we like it or not, we must give it to Shekau, the now ‘probably finally’ dead leader of Boko Haram. If we were counting, perhaps Shekau has died like 10 times already, between 2015 and now, since Oga Buhari took over. There have been several claims ‘BH is technical dead!’, ‘BH is decimated!’, ‘Shekau has been killed!’, etc.

FACEBOOK COULD BE GONE IN TEN (10) YEARS.

I find this gist very enticing and exciting. I am sorry o; despite that I find Facebook’s model (Advertising Model) very ingenious, I am not particularly a fan of Mark Zuckerberg. If you’ve followed my posting about him of late, you’d know that I am averse to his ‘shark’ style. His is even more vicious than familiar sharks we know. So this news has a way of making me feel good.
