SUNDAY STORIES

(Happy Sunday dear reader(s), hope you're enjoying the weekend? Here is a story for you to catch fun with today, read and enjoy!!!)



Don't Wait Till It's Too Late.

“The house where I lived was about to be seized, just because I could not pay the rent. I posted my situation on Facebook looking for help, but all I could get is 2 "likes" and zero comment.

So I sent 250 messages to my contact list requesting for a loan of GHS 500. Unfortunately only 10 people responded. 6 out of 10 said they could not help me. And only 1 out of 4 who promised to help me actually gave me some money. The other 3 gave me no excuse and never took my calls. In the end, I was ejected.

I did not have a place to sleep. I walked in the dark looking for options and, unfortunately, a thief stole my empty purse with my ID card. He was badly hit by a car in high speed as he fled and died without his body being identified. Only the bag containing my identity card served as a marker. The news the next day spread quickly around that I died.
 2500 people posted on my Facebook wall how they knew me and how kind I was. committee was formed by my "faithful" friends who raised N9,000 to feed people at my funeral. My work colleagues organized themselves and brought N7,500 for the coffin,  the tents and the chairs. I was to be buried in a coffin worth N6,000.

The family met again, it was a rare opportunity for the family to meet again. Then there was a sitting. For my funeral, the family contributed N15,000. Everyone wanted to volunteer to show that they were participating. They  printed t-shirts and Polos for more than N 6,000

Imagine now the scene when I decided to show myself up the day of my burial ..... 😗😗😗

Such is life today, a sad reality but part of our daily lives. You who read this story, change your mentality.

Help your brother/sister when he/she needs you. Do not wait for their death to show them your love. It will not help them”

 Vanity and vanity are all  vanity !!!!

GRAMMATICAL NAMES AND FUNCTIONS

Image
THE MEANING OF GRAMMATICAL NAMES AND GRAMMATICAL FUNCTION(S) A  Grammatical name  is the name given to a word, phrase or clause depending on its function in a given clause or sentence. There are different grammatical names such as noun phrase, adverbial phrase, adjectival phrase, prepositional phrase, noun clause, adverbial clause and adjectival/relative clause. However, in this episode, only the clauses (i.e., the noun clause, adverbial clause and adjectival/relative clause) are discussed. On the other hand,  grammatical function  is the syntactic role played by a word, phrase or clause in the context of a given clause or sentence.

Why Are Degree Holders Poor?

 Picture of a jobless man.   Recently,  I  came across a post on whatsapp which i think that I should share with every youth and young adults.  It was written by Gbenga Adeba Gambo( The Guardian Newspaper ) “If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity, but you are not sure you can do it, say yes- then learn how to do it later!”- Richard Branson SCHOOL rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their creativity and ability to solve problems. School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules, life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you would be at the top of life. The world is filled with poor graduates, but rich opportunists. Kevin Ngo said: “If you don’t make the time to work on creating the life you want, you are eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don’t want.” Your certificates and degrees are meant to
