BOOS, BOOZE AND BRUISES ON ANGEL DI MARIA’S HOMECOMING

On a chilly Champions League night, Angel Di Maria came back to haunt the Red Devils in the Theatre of Dreams. Throughout 90 minutes, he was the kind of nightmare they could never have dreamed of, and his presence certainly outweighed the absence of Neymar.

And like a man who typifies the sentence; “What doesn’t…

The words contained in this piece of writing will have an underlying trait, or else a source, of sorts: glasses, eyeglasses! The idea for this came from a meme, an image of which is shown above, below or somewhere along this. I do not know what this is. Yet. Maybe a narrative. Or an exposition. But I am one of the bespectacled, and we’ll see if that has anything to do with what matters. Harry Potter struck a chord with…

THE FIRST TIME VOTER; MY FUTURE PAST

The previous postponement of the Nigerian elections may have disenfranchised some but not me. I was armed with the needed essentials after reading the voter’s guide to a ‘comfortable’ voting (face cap, a head set, comfortable shoes, a bottle of water and common sense).
