All through life, one thing is certain: there will always be choices to be made as different opportunities arise, offering options and alternatives. An economic concept that readily comes to mind that serves as a guide to decision-making is that of OPPORTUNITY COST. In simple terms, opportunity cost can be described as the value that a person forfeits by choosing one course of action over another....

One bright morning in April, Odun and Zubaida were out walking the sidewalks of their housing estate for their 45-minute daily ritual, which offered them the opportunity of discovering developments within the estate while exchanging light gossip and banter. Did you hear about what happened to Tunde?” Zubaida began.” I was told he collapsed while climbing the stairs to his office yesterday and had to be rushed to the hospital....

As I took one of my “ walks,” I happened upon one of my favorite street sweepers, and after our usual exchange of pleasantries, she pointed out a package of neatly packed and tied garbage with complaints that someone had dropped their garbage by the roadside. Incidentally, these were non-biodegradable garbage. Immediately, my mind went to the recent spate of floods across the country, much of which is traceable to blocked drainage and the fact that people have refused to learn and teach how to responsibly dispose of garbage....

Cyril was one of those young, suave, upwardly mobile executives who frequently visited the University campus close to his residence, in search of a suitable “wife material.” During one of such visits, he met Vera as she took a break from her research in the library and headed to her hostel in search of a snack. Cyril was swayed by her beauty and calmness as she chatted with Shalewa, her roommate....

Two high school friends Dehinde and Bodunrin found themselves side by side in the same hospital ward and were pleased to catch up after several years of not having contact. As Bodunrin exclaimed, “Dehinsman, where have you been? I cannot believe this is you after so many years. How long has it been….55 plus years? By the way, Faramade should be visiting me here in another two hours or so....

Seated at the reception lobby of a hospital a few days ago, I cannot but think about the generation Alpha and their parents. At the hospital, I watched two young mothers manage their three-year-old babies and it got me thinking…hmmm. The first mum left her three-year-old boy causing a cacophony by bouncing her phone charger on the metal chairs. Oblivious to him and his antics, she watched a movie on her phone, unconcerned until the “young man” started yelling to use the bathroom....

Mairo is a pretty, smart, lithe lady with a bubbly, effervescent personality, attracting all manner of people to her – young and old, male, and female. She has a magnetic mien that is difficult to resist. Shafi, her younger sister, on the other hand, is the quintessential opposite – quiet, shy, reserved, plain-looking, and unexciting. Two things, however, stand out about Shafi: her very caring nature and her domestic excellence....

Papa and Mama Tembu had lived very energetic and fruitful lives in their professions as a University Professor and Radiologist, respectively. Having hit 70 and 67 years respectively, they decided to retire from the bustling capital city in which they had spent most of their adult life, back to the suburbs where they built their retirement home. This meant a gradual reduction in activity....

Oyin was having a “pity party” as tears streamed down her cheeks. She was overwhelmed by emotions as so many thoughts crowded her mind, each struggling for expression and recognition. She never would have predicted the events of the past six months when her world fell apart with the diagnosis of a stroke. But that paled in comparison to the recent shock which had devastated and shattered her world....

While rummaging through some items to which I have been sentimentally attached over the years, I came across the sleeve of a cherished musical album that made waves half a century ago. The South African album – Ipi Tombi! (Did I hear a chuckle…wow, half a century ago?) Well, it got me thinking about one of my favorite songs in the album, titled Nadia....

Sunday was another Father’s Day, and Fathers were celebrated worldwide. As I listened to the charge for the day at my local church, I could not help but ponder a few things. A quick summary of the charge is required to enable you to connect the dots. The message to men highlighted their responsibility from three dimensions: Responsibility to family. The biblical instruction to provide for their family was stressed....

Keppy and Adia met during their NYSC (National Youth Service Corps) year and dated for six years thereafter. The delay in contracting their proposed marriage had been due to a series of challenges faced by Keppy, ranging from the challenge in gaining employment to the loss of his only brother. During the six years, Adia was exposed to Keppy’s family, both immediate and extended....
