Walk with the Wise





by Dada Michael OY/13C/2042

Counsel has everything to do for the fulfillment of your dream. A wise counsel can make all the difference in your life. It can be the difference between success and failure. God did not create you to function like an island. Rather, He has placed people with godly counsel around you so that you can achieve your dream.

Your dream without adequate counsel will be limited. Simba (in the Lion King) without the counsel of the wide pig and the other little guy would have died before his time. He was literally wearing himself out from the incident of his father’s death, but he got counseled and encouraged and became the leader of a clan. Even after then he still had his counsel. Stop struggling! You don't have to fall apart when you can receive help from godly counsel.

HOW TO GET A MAKEUP FRIENDLY SKIN




By Thonia Idegwu


The skin, as we all know, is the largest organ of the body. The beauty of the skin comes out only when it has been taken proper care of.
All professional make-up artist know that it is not all about the products or brushes but the canvas- in this case, the face because if your canvas is rough, exceedingly oily/dry, or something worse, no amount of makeup done will make that face glow or look flawless, which should be the aim of seeking a professional for your makeup.  So it is advised to work on the skin of your face so it becomes makeup agreeable else you would wind up looking like a colored rag. Lol!

SUMMARY OF BRASIL 2014 WORLD CUP






The 2014 FIFA World Cup was the 20th FIFA World Cup, the tournament for the association football world championship, which took place at several venues across Brazil.
It began on 12 June, with a group stage, and concluded on 13 July with the final. It was the second time that Brazil has hosted the competition, the first being in 1950. Brazil was elected unchallenged as host nation in 2007 after the international football federation, FIFA, decreed that the tournament would be staged in South America for the first time since 1978 in Argentina, and the fifth time overall.
The national teams of 31 countries advanced through qualification competitions that began in June 2011 to participate with the host nation Brazil in the final tournament. A total of 64 matches were being played in 12 cities across Brazil in either new or redeveloped stadiums. For the first time at a World Cup finals, match officials used goal-line technology, as well as vanishing foam for free kicks.
All world champion teams since the first World Cup in 1930Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Uruguay – qualified for this competition. The title holders, Spain, were eliminated at the group stage, along with previous winners England and Italy. Uruguay were eliminated in the Round of 16 and France were eliminated at the quarter-finals. In the final between two former champions Argentina and Germany, Germany won the title by defeating Argentina 1–0 after extra time, thus becoming the first European team to win a World Cup in the Americas. This result marked the first time that sides from the same continent had won three successive World Cups (following Italy in 2006 and Spain in 2010).
Despite the hosts Brazil finishing in the last four, their tournament was overshadowed by their record-shattering 7–1 semi-finals loss, to eventual champions, Germany.

SUICIDE




By Ola Alaka-Coker

I tightened the noose I had hung on the ceiling fan. I was going to do it; I was going to take my own life. The pain was just too much for me to bear any more. I had gotten the rope from the yard downstairs where we spread our laundry and waited for my roommate to leave for service. I locked the door and closed all the blinds; no one was going to stop me my mind was made up.

I took a chair and climbed on it, using it to hoist myself up to the rope. I would kick it when I was ready to let go of the pain. I put my neck through the rope and tightened the knot.

Life-Matics




by Smith Oluwakemi OY/13C/1508
What is it? No idea.......just experiences from the older generation, kind of like a guide. Life is too short to begin making every mistake, we might as well learn from others.

LIVING not Existing

We are all in a stage of our lives where critical decisions and plans have to be made. The phase of (.....just chilling) is over!. I don't see myself taking anyone seriously that still says this. Waiting for a particular time or age to begin living life is such a waste of potential because when you do get there you're going to wonder when and how all the time passed by so quickly without you achieving anything meaningful with your life.

Bad Habits - Stop It (Part 1)




by Ezinne Aja OY/13C/1453


This is not going to be a piece describing different bad habits and saying “bad habits are bad for you” or that “you should stop them”, I’m not your mother. Bad habits from the word ‘BAD’ tell us that they ‘not good’, so repeating that they should be stopped is rather redundant, and again, I’m not your mother. So instead of starting with the “bad habits are bad” argument, we’re going to skip that and talk about how bad habits affect other people – people in your immediate environment especially. The greatest misdeed you can do is to put someone else’s life in danger because you don’t want to stop a bad habit. So we’re going to look at different bad habits in order of how life threatening they are to the person next to you i.e. from ‘least likely to kill the person next to you’ to ‘manslaughter’.
