Criticism is an art, which always involves certain acts too; this has been confused for condemnation. Though criticism and condemnation looks alike, they aren’t the same. Criticism is an act of pointing out the wrongs in a person, a thing or a situation while condemnation is an aspect of judgment that blames or punishes offenders for the wrongs they did. However, most professional critiques, going by their dispositions, are professional condemners. There is nothing professional about criticism until “constructive” is added to it, this is an oxymoron to create a balance which means before someone decides to criticize a thing, he should have appreciated the good side twice as much. Most critiques only concentrate on picking out the wrongs without saying anything about the good sides and this shows that they are illiterate in the art of criticism. Though it is human to complain when things go wrong and keep quiet when things are rightly done, such approach to life is synonymous...

"When a poet dies His words stand as a homeless spirit Embedded with the magic of healing But the value of poetry Lies in the arms of the poet When he opens them, to calm the storm." - Micheal Ace (fourth stanza, one poem one pound) Every poem was a "hit", back-to-back! From "Lamentations" to "Redemption" to "the three virgin sisters" to "Adesewa" to "Made man" to " Awero" to "call me a woman" to "break the knot" down to "one poem one pound" (my overall best magical poem) Micheal Adedotun Ace is a pengician, poet, motivator and a writer, whose taste for poetry is so spright and needed by us, huminatrians. For improvement and reproofment. He talks about a clear homage of how he sees life from a definite, but different perspective, using poetic non-stereotypic al doctrinations and destinations. Indeed, A SERMON FROM A STAMMERER is dramatically, a coll...

Last night I had sex! It was a great experience lasting only a few minutes and I kept wondering if it was truly worth the stress. This is the silent thought of many who had gone through a lot of stress or pay so much more for sex. It is without any doubt that sex urge is a stronger than the act and also outweighs it. This message was profoundly passed down to me yesterday night. It is inconsequential whether I had sex or not, I got a profound message to share. I leave you to battle with the rest. Men often run the risk of reputation just to indulge sex, if a man wants sex, he will do anything possible to get it, he will become a little toddler, tossed around most times by ladies young enough to be his daughter, just because he wants sex. Ladies too are not exempted, some of them, when sexually starved, go after younger guys, doing everything it takes just to make them satisfy their sexual desires. However, immediately after orgasm, if they ever reach it, these people ...

Introduction: It is said that the true value of friendship cannot be measured, but treasured. If you are among those fortunate few who claim to have good or best friends, you know that this could not have been more correct. You can have many kinds of friends from childhood, school, work or friends who are friends of your friends. Do you treat them all of them on an equal pedestal? Well, obviously not. This is because it is difficult to treat all at par as not all are compatible in nature and attitude. You may strike instant friendship with somebody; however, it may take years for you to maintain it, dealing with its ups and downs before you get to know the person thoroughly. When you reach a level of understanding where you can speak your mind freely without donning an artificial smile, without worrying about calling anytime, without caring to remember who last paid for lunch and without worrying about being judged, you will know that you have a friend for life. Good...

Last week I got myself a new phone! Not just a phone, but another sophisticated phone. Prior to buying this phone, some questions cropped up in my mind and they are: What if this phone is fake? You have another phone which you bought in less than 2 months ago, what will you be doing with 2 phones? Most of the rich people make use of a single phone, you are not even rich, why do you need 2 phones, don't you think you will create wrong impression that you are rich for people around you? You can put your two sim cards in your phone, remember you don't want to cut your sim card and buying this phone means you will cut it, why not stick to your other phone and invest this money in another thing? All these cropped up in my mind after I had gone to the bank to withdraw some units of thousands required to purchase the phone. These excuses are enough for me to change my mind and not buy the phone. All the while I couldn't remember a single reason w...

Interfaith marriage: marrying from another religion has become a trendy thing, but not without its share of controversies. We have people who succeed in it as much as we have failures too. However, the perceived higher percentage of failure has left a lot of youths indecisive as regard marrying or even dating someone who doesn’t practice their religion. When this topic was brought forth as a topic of discussion on SRAF group, in what was their first discussion of the year, different people from different parts of the country offered their opinions on the topic. Judith from Lagos, who had the first opinion of the day, has this to say: “interfaith marriage is it doesn't bring peace in the family; everyone will have different beliefs and opinions. And each person wants his or her opinion or believes to dominate. In this case, we find the family tearing apart, and in some cases the husband cooks differently, and the wife differently, the children divided and not having a st...

There is a saying that goes thus "if you leave everything in the hands of God, you'd see his hands in ev ything"  I tell you the truth, only a few statements in life are as faulty as this. This i er s a major reason why Nigeria and many religious countries are so crippled economically. It could be said that this is the reason why we build more churches and less factories and companies. Everyone is made to believe that God will do all they want for them, only a few things in life could be as foolish as this, but we believe it. I once said that "whenever prayer becomes a religion, exceptional success will always be in doubt ." This is evident on our society. Believing God will do everything for you is the beginning of all follies. This is the same reason why we have some who call themselves atheists. Most of these so-called atheists, based on my conversions with them, are once religious and are made to believe the above statement. They learnt and ...
