HOW WILL THEY COPE: EDUCATION A SCAM IN NIGERIA:

 HOW WILL THEY COPE: EDUCATION A SCAM IN NIGERIA:    It is certain and obvious that the Nigerian government(most especially his era), doesn't value education in the country, why would they...?    The outbreak of the corona virus pandemic about five months ago, the government has shown through their attitude and approach in handling the academic sector that they have no educational plans for the citizens of Nigeria.   Using the lockdown measure as a means to curtail the spread of the virus, no doubt good, yet they have played politics with it also. Preventing large gatherings they claimed was their aim, if at all their motive was good then why still hold on to the resumption of schools when other large gatherings have been released. The market conveys ten times the number of people in the school in only one sitting yet the market is opened and schools closed. Most churches pull a crowd of about a thousand to five thousand and some more in one gathering yet t...

 ***LOV AND FLICK*** SEASON 2 Episode 7      It usually on the 15th through to 18th and sometimes it extends to on the 19th or 20th of every month I do see my monthly menstrual cycle, but that month nothing flowed, though I wasn't detective at all maybe because I hated everything about the female cycle. It gives me a lot of headaches and pains during the period so I so much dislike it and wished I could put an end to it, or perhaps my love for sex made it so. I wasn't bothered about it at all, my heart did not think otherwise so I concluded my wish had come to pass. My body color had changed and my body shape has added weight. I was happy I was growing fast. My breast became more enlarged and having some pulse around its edges, my nipples became thickened. It was my uncle who discovered it when he gave me just, as usual, some massage on my boobs.    Jesus! Jenny! He exclaimed. I was shocked and became afraid following the look on his face.  What is wro...

       ***LOVE AND FLICK*** SEASON 2 Episode 6 EPISODE 6 It is not what you are thinking, my obsession with sex was so widened that I could even have my father have sex with me.
