   I have made my decision....A story by Ejiro Emenike Ukaumune( E PLUS the Storyteller.)   It had always been all about sacrifices for me, but now, I see things differently, especially when I consider the roller coaster cloud of emotions I have been revolving around, over the past years. Somehow, every man wanted to use me like some litmus test..ah han! Kilode?    First, it was Yusuf. I met him at a local store, close to my work place. Well, it wasn't necessarily love at first sight, sha ooo! It just happened that he helped me out of an embarrassing situation that would have cost me my reputation. He paid for all the items I had purchased at the store(an amount that ran into thousands.), simply because I had failed to realise that my credit card had expired, and I had no cash! No be small thing!  Well, we exchanged numbers after the usual 'show of appreciation'. Yusuf began to call me countless times, hmmm...one thing led to another, and I got pregnant..yes! but t

       FOOD-LAW-MANIA.               THE LAWYER, WHO ‘RULED’ THE FOOD AISLE.... Azeezat Ifemide Adejare.          I went by a store where I worked,  for four months shortly after landing in Canada in 2018, and the intense nostalgia  that I felt, inspired this post. Enjoy… A feature I’ve found to be quite common- when reading stories or articles about fellow Internationally trained lawyers in Canada- is the ‘full ground' syndrome, that we relocate into Canada, with.  We are certain, beyond any iota of doubt, that while we pursue the Canadian licensing process towards being called to the Canadian bar, we would very easily find a role as a Paralegal, or at the very least, Legal Assistant in a law firm (no matter the size). The reality of how erroneous I was about this notion, finally hit me a couple of months, and hundreds of applications after: Every field is skill-specific, and requires the prerequisite knowledge, expertise and experience; being overqualified (especially f

                 Th at Saturday Morning, I wasn't feeling well, so I decided to send Sule to the pharmacy to get me pain reliever. While I sat on the couch, I began to remember those years..hmmm..how he would call me and crack jokes that made me almost fall out of my chair and, my colleagues would stare at me with curiosity. Immediately, I would just whisper:  "Seun..I have to go o! All eyes on me, talk to you later."  Then a long silence would follow, you could percieve the reluctance  to end the call. "Okay...talk to you later." He would reply.  Then, I would begin to count the hours, I couldn't wait to see him after work. Seun had a way of making me feel very special and all through our courtship, I never had any doubt, whatsoever that he was the one for me! As a woman who, has always been more of a go-getter, I was quite certain, that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. So, we had our introduction, traditional and court wedding.

FOOD-LAW-MANIA...hosted by Adejare Azeezat Ifemide. GARNISH:  {FOOD}  v.  GARNISH {LAW} We're largely familiar with the action word that is attributed to the act of making our meals more presentable and inviting… However, did you know, the word ‘garnish' is not a verb peculiar to food only? “Garnish” in relation to food, is a verb which means to decorate, adorn, enhance, beautify, or embellish different food dishes. “Garnish” in relation to Law, means to warn or give notice of a legal judgement to a third party, to pay money owing to a debtor, directly to the creditor. Under this circumstance, anyone owing money to the debtor (against whom judgement is made), will not be paying the amount owed to the debtor. Rather, payment of the owed amount will be to a third party, whom the debtor is also owing money to, by virtue of a court judgment. While the former is beheld with joy and enthusiasm (otherwise known as the “longthroat" feeling), the lat
