How my mother found out I was pregnant at 13
It was a warm evening in Abuja, and I could hear the distant sounds of children playing outside. I was in my room, trying to focus on my homework, but my mind kept wandering. I felt a strange mix of anxiety and excitement, a secret growing inside me that I couldn't hide much longer.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) has been a game-changer in bringing transparency and accountability to the real estate sector. However, with these regulations come mandatory compliances that developers and promoters must adhere to. One such crucial compliance is the timely filing of Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) under RERA.

Theirs no hard truth than this statement
Life Is Too Short, and We All Should Live It As Per Our WillThe truth about life is that we are all going to die sooner or later. It is an uncomfortable fact, but with time, it engrains the importance of living life on your own terms. It is true that all of us have seen people who spend their lives crumpled in seeking validation or admiration from others around them. No matter how hard they try, they end up thinking that elements of greatness are present in the eyes of people and not within the individuals themselves. Which is indeed a false perception and in fact the core of my healthy living angle.

AUDIOBOOKS WERE MADE FOR BLIND PEOPLE
As a compulsive reader of physical books, I tend to cue up an audiobook not so much as a sonic counterpart to print but as a portable verbal atmosphere to accompany some errand or everyday hustle. I don’t drive and haven’t had a valid driver’s license in twenty years, so I never have the opportunity to tackle, say, all of “Beowulf” or “Don Quixote” during a regular commute. But I’ve taken in “The Waste Land” while waiting in line at the post office, listened to Richard Feynman explain electromagnetism on the 7 train out to Citi Field, heard Marx anatomize the commodity form while walking trails in Van Cortlandt Park, had Iris Murdoch’s swirling sentences in my earbuds while ordering an everything bagel (lightly toasted). Once at a Key Food in Riverdale, I became so entranced by the mellifluous unctuousness of Jeremy Irons reading “Lolita” that, in my fugue state, the names of the different Triscuit varieties on the shelves were mystically annexed to Humbert Humbert’s monologue: “Ladies and gentleman of the jury, fire-roasted tomato, smoked gouda, hint of sea salt, avocado cilantro and lime.”

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
I’m a big fan of the Hunger Games series. So of course, I was really looking forward to reading this prequel about Coriolanus Snow’s past, and the book didn’t disappoint. It’s not perfect, by any means, but the interesting concepts, powerful moments, and solid character depictions/developments throughout the novel deeply impressed me and made the book worth reading.

SIMON SQUIBB… What is your dream?
You guys, do you have a dream? This is the question I heard the most today. How coincidental, as I am truly feeling lost, unsure of what to do, what kind of job to look for, and whether to stay in my hometown or move somewhere far away.
