Introduction: When Waiting Starts Taking Its Toll Waiting is part of life. We wait for admission, employment opportunities, business breakthroughs, financial stability, property transactions, promotion and other important milestones. Sometimes, the things we hope for take longer than expected. We make plans, set deadlines, adjust our expectations and try again. But what happens when the waiting continues for months or even years, and every attempt to move forward seems to produce another disappointment? At what point does ordinary frustration become something more serious? Consider someone who has been hoping for admission into a higher institution since 2024. Each admission cycle comes with renewed expectations, but deadlines pass without the desired outcome. At the same time, there are unresolved property matters, financial obligations, professional responsibilities and other personal challenges. One property dispute has progressed through the legal system, but obtaining a favourable...

  How digital safety, cybersecurity knowledge, and responsible technology use can help protect our finances, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. Our lives are increasingly connected to the digital world. We use smartphones to communicate with loved ones, conduct financial transactions, run businesses, pursue education, and maintain relationships across distances. With a few taps, we can access information, transfer money, attend meetings, and share important moments with people who matter to us. Yet, behind this convenience lies a responsibility we cannot afford to ignore: protecting ourselves in the digital environment. A suspicious message, a compromised social media account, an online scam, or the exposure of private information can have consequences that extend far beyond a screen. Victims may lose money, experience emotional distress, struggle to trust others, or spend considerable time trying to recover their accounts and restore their sense of security. This is why cyber...

What a conversation about sickness, the death of public figures, and the fragility of human life can teach us about health and living wisely. A Conversation That Stayed With Me Yesterday, I went to see my lawyer. While I was there, he was on the phone with a friend. They were discussing a pastor who was ill and arranging an appointment to visit him. During their conversation, his friend made a statement: “Sickness doesn't kill God's anointed.” My lawyer responded with a question: “What killed T.B. Joshua?” It was a brief exchange, but it raised a question about how we understand sickness, health and mortality. At the time, I did not know how much more significant that conversation would feel the following morning. Today, October 15, 2026, news emerged of the death of Toluwani Sings, the gospel singer whose passing has prompted grief among admirers and members of the wider music community. The timing was striking. Only a day earlier, I had heard a conversation about sickness and...

  From couples and families to friends living across continents, Snake and Ladder Quiz explores how interactive games can create opportunities for connection, conversation and mental engagement. Sometimes, the most interesting thing about a game is not who wins, but what we discover about one another along the way. In our busy lives, finding time to relax, laugh together and have meaningful conversations can be difficult. Work, family responsibilities and distance can reduce the time we spend interacting with the people who matter to us. Even when we share the same home, we may not always make time to learn something new about one another. Could a simple board game help create that opportunity? That question offers a different way to look at Snake and Ladder Quiz , a mobile game developed by LIRIX ENTERPRISE. It combines the familiar Snakes and Ladders board game with quiz questions and multiplayer interaction, offering different ways for people to play. Recently, I shared an hones...
