Ilorin - Kwara State, Nigeria
The past six months, especially after notcoin (tap to earn game), and a few others paid their community, especially those that gathered significant XP through their activities on the platform. The narrative, however, began to change!
Times have however changed, and a significant transition has occurred from the crude and physical disciplinary modality to less contact but equally effective disciplinary measures, which I concur with. Yet, I would borrow a few of the old methods and apply them when the time is right.

I know there have been videos of officers who spiced directing traffic by dancing, but for the index lady officer, it was her cheerfulness that made me give her a token and not because she asked for it.
Yet again, we met, and I had to take her somewhere to get some snacks as she was hungry. This prolonged her stay in the car and yet choked me more. The smell was nauseating, and I prided myself on withholding the vomiting. Many thoughts ran through my mind as to how other people found it comfortable relating to her. She told me she was into catering, the pepper soup, and the like. She even narrated the kind gestures of some customers to her, and I wondered if those tales were true. Without exaggerating, days after I dropped her off, I could smell her odor from the car and had to open the car doors to let the smell dissipate into the environment. I found myself disgusted and getting pissed off.
For patients who know their reactionary status to drugs, we encourage them to state it to any physician they are seeing so alternatives can be prescribed. We go the extra mile to write on the patients in bold prints so any health worker would take extra caution. Medical practice has begun extra efforts to identify drugs causing unfavorable side effects, either in the short or long term. Thus, a unit in facilities, especially the secondary and tertiary facilities, is earmarked as the PHARMACOVIGILANCE unit to take records of all unfavorable or noticed side effects from drugs. On rare occasions, the side effects of some drugs could be what are needed for some conditions, while their original intentions could be overlooked. For some drug abusers, they readily opt for such use of side effects to their benefit.
I have been away from the walls of academic institutions for a while and also do not have any children to put me on my toes in knowing what is being taught or not in school. My life, however, is the epitome of grass or grace, a path from roughness to a point of excellence. Let's take a look at what makes students successful as a priority.
