  MY NEW NEIGHBOUR   Written by E PLUS The Storyteller It was just like every other day, safe for the light thunderstorm, so I decided to take a brief walk . I had not gone too far when I saw a van drive into the neighborhood and a young dark guy stepped out! He headed straight for the vacant house and unlocked the door. For a moment, I just stood still and stared, looked like he had just moved in. Within seconds, he stepped out of the house with some empty cartons and stood still while he looked around, seemed like he was indecisive about where he wanted to drop them. " Good day! Looking for where to dispose, those ?" I quickly jumped in to offer some help.  " Oh! Well, yes! I.. I am not sure where." He replied as our eyes met. " Okay, just let me have them, and I will take it from there. " I said. " Very well...thank you so much ." He responded as he handed the cartons to me.  " Do you stay around ?" He asked, almost immediately.  ...

  THE SHOELESS ONES  (An adaptation of the story of a world football Champion- Pele). Commentary by E PLUS The Storyteller ✍️ In the early hours of the day, at 6.00am, I was already up, and after I had said a word of prayer, a lot was on my mind- from all the creative contents and stories that were brewing in my head to the situation in the country, after a while, I decided to join my hubby in the sitting room.  That was when I bumped into this phenomenal movie about a world football champion- Pele, I had to rename it: 'THE SHOELESS ONES' (A line in the movie) because for me, this is where the message of the story lies. Imagine a group of young lads with so much strength of passion for the round leather game (Football) that never allowed anything to deter their focus, not even when they did not have shoes to play, during football competitions. They were mocked, and given the name: 'The Shoeless Ones' yet chose to convert this mockery into their motivation, particularly...

         Coming  Out Of Monday Blues. "Ohhh!!!! Monday is here again!!! It just looks like the weekend should never end! Hmmm!  Work! Work! Work!" Sam lamented as he tossed and turned on his bed, with his right hand stretched forth to put off the alarm clock. "I just wish this weekend will continue! Oh!!! Monday is here again!" Susan lamented.    I guess there are so many people  like Sam😁 and Susan. Monday is that day that seems to take a toll on virtually everyone especially when the weekend is such a bliss; given a choice most of us would rather have more days added to the weekend. Oh well! The narrative doesn't have to be the same. Let's look at certain ways we can switch on the vibe and step out of the Monday Blues. Every change begins with a mental attitude thus it is expedient to see the possibility of having a great Monday irrespective.

So my parents always ensured that by Saturday, the fridge is stocked to the brim. Mummy had a way of really making Sundays, very special! However, on this particular Sunday, I wanted something extra special for lunch, thus I had arranged my own ingredients to cook my 'Special Palm oil Stew and Rice"😋.  As soon as we had all returned from Church Service, I dashed to the kitchen before mummy would occupy everywhere😆       No one had an idea of my plans but before I could say 'Jack', our visitors had arrived and I could hear steps heading for the kitchen door. "Ah Ahn! Onome! How are you? So it is you that is harassing our nose with this mesmerizing aroma! Chai! Looks like you want to give us a special treat today?" Mrs Oyeneke exclaimed as soon as she walked into the kitchen. ...
