Gbokus Weren’t There! – Adewale Sobowale
I just finished watching the Queen of England’s funeral and I’m so much disappointed.

So? – Adewale Sobowale
I won’t ever forget a lesson I learnt in my adult years. There is this man, who, whenever any of his wards flunked a promotion examination, he wouldn’t be annoyed with them. Instead, he would take them to a classy eatery and have them order whatever they wanted. He himself would order what he wanted…
