The Call Of Nature: Oblivion

Oblivion, a mighty call that tore naked, our innate peace and calmness.

The peaceful sound of the drum played by team of drummers didn't bring any euphoria. Beside the newly dug grave, there stood, elegantly, able bodied men waiting for the final procedure to carry out the final duty; the duty that seemed impossible to her. She had wished her to stand and prove it all wrong. She had waited for such moment with deepest fear and never imagined it, so soon. Who on Earth would believe that a womb that defeated spirits of barrenness, and prevented the lineage of Okeke from vanishing into the thin air could bow to Oblivion.

She watched in bereave as the able bodied men lowered the coffin down. Tear were gone for such is needless. Soon enough the priest had sprinkled holy water on the white sobber coffin, the able body men began to fill the grave with red earth. Kpitim kpitim, the sound came to her with shock; it brought back a reminiscent of passed lovely life the gone woman gave fatherless children.

Oblivion is indeed a call awaiting everyone. It made her mind stronger.

Left alone in solitude, she looked up to nothing but God and fate. Would there ever come comfort and help? In the upcoming days of tribulations, tide and Storm wreck, who will be a rescue!

CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC, LIMITATIONS ON RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION, RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT, A CRITICAL APPRAISAL. By AGU MOSES

People across the world are currently facing an unprecedented global health emergency due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The recent outbreak began in Wuhan, a city in the Hubei province of China. Reports of the first COVID-19 cases started in December 2019. Coronaviruses are common in certain species of animals, such as cattle and camels. Although the transmission of coronaviruses from animals to humans is rare, this new strain likely came from bats, though one study suggests pangolins may be the origin. However, it remains unclear exactly how the virus first spread to humans. Some reports trace the earliest cases back to a seafood and animal market in Wuhan. It may have been from here that SARS-CoV-2 started to spread to humans. SARS-CoV-2 spreads from person to person through close communities. When people with COVID-19 breathe out or cough, they expel tiny droplets that contain the virus. These droplets can enter the mouth or nose of someone without the virus, causing an in...

A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND; POLICE/ARMY RUPTURE, A NOXIOUS INNUENDO ABOUT OUR SECURITY APPARATUS. By: KELECHI. P. NWODO

Image
In our Country, it is not strange to hear of members of the law enforcement agencies paying the ultimate price in the course of executing their constitutional duties most times under murky and unsavory circumstances. For eons of years, the Joe Bloggs of these law enforcement agencies have ceaselessly reeked displeasure over the malady etched in their modus operandi and have pinpointed it as the main reason patrotic officers continuously fall prey to men of the underworld. However, it is anomalous and berating when comrades in the Armed Forces who ought to be peas in a pod begin to engage in wrangles even to the height of exchanging friendly fire. Again, in our country this is not a strange occurrence as we have seen and heard times innumerable of fratricidal incidents within the Armed Forces, bringing to mind that which is written in the holy book 📖📖  “a house divided against itself cannot stand” Without subscribing to jaundice, a large chunk of these fatal piques has been...
