My Morals:My Challenge

 1.
The night was chilly and the rain drops on the roof was almost deafening,Power Holding has just struck for the umpteenth time that Saturday.The green tea Ugo made to keep herself warm as she snuggled deeper under the duvet was almost cold again.Ugo was lost in thoughts;Where did the years go to?It was just like yesterday, the day she passed out of the National Youth service Corps.Such a relief that day.Ugo was posted to the remotest village in Katsina state,a name she doesn't want to remember.After living all her life in Enugu, she barely coped as a Youth Corper in far away North.
    Ugo is a fair skinned beautiful girl of 27 years,a graduate of Chemical Engineering from the University of Nigeria Nsukka.Ugo is the second child of her parents but the first girl,little wonder her father a Medical Doctor, fondly called her Adaure,meaning;Daughter of Pride.Ugo is intelligent,witty and calm.She is a moralist,too principled.Staring straight into the wall opposite her,her mind drifted back to her first relationship.Gozie...Gozie was a smooth guy,his popularity was record breaking on campus.Ugo was shot into focus by her relationship with Gozie,she didn't like it.she called it cheap popularity.Students called her Ugo Gozie to dinstinguish her from her course mate who was also Ugo.What are you famous for,she would query him?.Because you are handsome and the girls like you?.But isn't that the same reason you love me?,he would quickly tease her.Giving him  a helpless look,she would shake her head in surrender.Ugo loved Gozie and Gozie loved Ugo or so it seemed but Gozie was a ladies man.He had a way with girls on campus.Ugo remembered going to see him one night as agreed.As she opened the door,she saw Gozie right on top of her room mate Susan,both were naked.Ugo couldn't comprehend it,Susan?Susan who had told her severally to do away with Gozie,he was not her class?.It was a shock that tormented her for a long time,even though she would later forgive Gozie and take him back,unknown to her that scar is yet to heal...

Longest Nails on the Planet!

This is Christine Walton from Las Vegas -- who has the world's longest fingernails measuring a freaky 19ft 9in (601.9cm).She has set a record in Guiness world book of records. That's 10ft 2in (309.8cm) on her left hand and 9ft 7in (292.1cm) on her right hand and the 45-year-old singer says she hasn’t cut her fingernails since 1990. Christine insists the nails don’t prevent her from living a normal life; she can still braid hair, cook and drive, however, she does confess to struggling when shopping for clothes: "I’ll see the cutest shirts, and they’ll have these skinny arms and I know that my nails would just rip straight through them, she said. "I never made a conscious decision to grow the nails, but with all my children and the music commitments I guess it was easier to let the nails grow," she added, "Then one day I look down and they’re like 9 inches long!" Her current length of the fingernails are the equivalent length of a killer whale; two...

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...
