MORE THAN WORDS CAN DESCRIBE

Eva Ebube Okafor is what she is named,  
But that is the least of her angelic qualities.  
In her, you truly will find an eternal muse,  
Hers is love so profound, it transforms every vibe.  
She is nice, kind, and beautiful, as each letter in her name represents,  
In each letter, a symphony of grace and loveliness.  
E - is for her elegance, a vision so rare,   
V - is for her vitality, a spark so divine,  
A - is for her allure, a charm so complete,  
E - again for her empathy, a heart so pure,  
B - is for her brilliance, a mind so bright,  
U - is for her uniqueness, one-of-a-kind,  
B - again for her bravery, a survivor
E - once more for her essence, her soul so free,  
O - is for her optimism, hope she is working hard at
K - is for her kindness, a heart warm and pure
A - is for her affectionate heart; tender yet tough
F - is for her faithfulness, steadfast and sure,  
O - again for her openness, her heart unbarred,  
R - is for her radiance, a glow so divine and eternal.

WHY WOMEN WON'T GO TO HEAVEN

By DUL JOHNSON 1. I want to start from the very beginning – the opening; What does a reader want in an opening? First is to have the writer introduce the main character(s) and intimate something about the situation she/they are in-i.e the conflict that will provide dramatic twine for the story; (2) to get us interested and involved; and (3) to do it all in a timely fashion, i.e. it stops being an opening as soon as possible and gets on with the story.... ‘WHY WOMEN WON’T MAKE IT TO HEAVEN’ succeeded in doing just that...it introduces us to the characters, showed us where they were, and showed that they’ve gotten concerns or problems. And it does all these in the first page; starting with a long paragraph and quick five short paragraphs. After this, the story is up and running as the conflicts between a husband and his wife, then similar issues between other husbands and their wives escalates with disastrous consequences. The second story is more leisurely, comparably. Reading throug...

TOPIC TODAY: is on Raising Activists or Bystanders; Teaching children to speak up. Do we teach children to speak when something is wrong? Do you encourage your children to question unfairness, even when that unfairness comes from you? When you see someone in trouble, do you look away to "stay safe," or do you look for a safe way to help? The Big Question: If every child in the next generation chose to be an "Upstander," what kind of society would we be living in twenty years from now?

The evening air at Evakings Bar carries the faint scent of diesel and suya, but the conversation at the corner table is focused on the heavy silence of the streets. Jide is recounting a story from his commute—a scene where a conductor was harassing a young passenger while everyone else looked out the window. ​"I wanted to say something," Jide admits, staring into his drink. "But I thought, 'Why look for trouble?' We tell our kids to stay out of 'grown folks' business' so they stay safe. But aren't we just raising a generation that watches the world burn from a safe distance?" ​Jennifer looks up, her expression sharp. "Safe for now, Jide. But when we raise 'Bystanders,' we are building a society where no one is protected. We’ve confused 'minding your business' with 'ignoring injustice.' If we don't teach them to be 'Upstanders' now, who will speak for them when they are the ones in the conductor'...

TOPIC TODAY: is on Grandparents Interfering with ParentingTwo generations, two philosophies — who wins? Do you view your parents as "Interfering" or as "Volunteers" who need better job descriptions? Can you distinguish between an "Outdated Safety Risk" and a "Different Parenting Style"? The Big Question: If you "win" the argument but lose the grandparent’s support, who is the real loser—you or the child?

The night at Evakings Bar has reached that soulful hour where the playlist shifts from Afrobeats to Highlife, and the conversation moves from politics to the kitchen table. Ola is nursing a drink, looking at a flurry of WhatsApp messages from his mother. ​"She’s at it again," Ola sighs, showing the screen to Jide. "I told her no sugar for the baby until he's two. I walk into the living room, and she’s dipping a biscuit in tea and feeding him like it’s a sacred rite. When I corrected her, she said, 'I raised you on tea and bread, and you’re a CEO today. Is your Google wisdom better than my gray hair?' How do I win this without breaking her heart—or my son's health?" ​Elder Ephraim chuckles from his corner. "Ola, you’re trying to win a war where the prize is a child who needs both of you. You have the 'New Knowledge,' but she has the 'Old Love.' If you fight for authority, you might win the battle but lose the village." ​ ...
