《Being Nigerian In A Foreign Country.》Complaints
Advertisement
Okay, so I know it's been a while since I posted something up here. Biko, bear with me, training to be a Pqediatric Nurse is not easy.
It's not beans o.
Apology accepted, abi?
Good. Thank you.
Moving on . . . lol
So, throughout this week, the weather here in England has been really hot. I'm talking the temperature hitting the 30's (°C) you know. It's like Nigeria paid a visit to the UK.
Now, you would think everyone will be content, seeming that the sun rarely shows its face here. But no, what are they doing? Complaining...
"Oh it's too bloody hot mate."
"Oh my God, I'm boiling."
"I'm melting!"
Ahnahn! Ogini? (What is it?) Why can't you just enjoy this warm, beautiful whether, while it lasts . . . because we all know it wouldn't.
Seriously . . .
You people should tell me o. . . because when its cold, you'll complain too.
"Cor blimey, I'm freezing out here man."
"Where's the sun gone? It's too cold"
"Ah! the weather's miserable."
It's such a British thing, I swear. Complaining about everything. In fact lemme give you a few list. They'll moan about:
How hot the weather is
How cold the weather is
If it snows
If it doesn't snow
Waiting in queues
Their horrible bosses
Horrible colleagues
Horrible neighbours
Public transport
Immigrants stealing their job
The National Health Service (NHS). I don't even why they complain about this. For God's sake it's free! Argh!
. . . and the list continues
It's like even if they enjoy it eh, they still have to complain about it.
When the sun is out, You'll see them all out, completely smeared all over in suncream. They'll be frolicking about barely clothed, getting tanned and soaking up the rays of the sun, but they'll still complain.
I think they just can't help it tho, it's one of those things.
I know humans in general, we're never satisfied, we complain and we always want more. But the British people? chai, they're on a whole different level on this. On a scale of 0-10? I'd say the children of Israel lol.
Where my Nigerian/African brothers and sisters at? Do Nigerians/Africans moan as much? Please let me know. Drop your comments 😘😘😘

Shade and Flow
In the Wastelands, if you were cursed by Shade, you were destined to be shunned, driven away, even killed on sight; you were a creature of darkness, of shadow, cold-blooded and unwanted. But, if you were blessed by Flow, you were the best humankind could offer, a role-model for any sapients. Loke and Nova were born by the same parents, yet even though they embodied the two faces of the medal, they lived in the same dreadful circumstances, but what would happen if one day the greatest beings of the world decided that the siblings would become their Champions? A Warning: There is an Anti-hero lead for a reason, and there should also be a Y.A. tag, but RR doesn't have it; therefore here it is. So, there's going to be blood, there might be carnage, but there will also be wholesomeness, romance, and affection. But most importantly, there will be Action. About the LitRPG: This novel is a slow-burn, with a lot of character development, yet the LitRPG element starts in Chapter 3 and becomes more prominent as the protagonist evolves his Skill. Further elements appear in Chapter 38. I'm not a native speaker: If you see any typos, please point them out, and I shall fix them as soon as possible. Thank you! Release Days: Twice a weak Release Time: ~ 09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000

The Villain's Double Life
“The Villain’s Double Life as the Hero’s Mentor," “Demon Nobles Want to Live Too: A Hero-Raising Simulator for the Transmigrated Villain," “Just Because I’m a Villain Doesn’t Mean I Want the World to End!” Cyrus Calvide was the second son of an aristocratic lord; haughty, vain and power-hungry. One day, when his ancestral inheritance manifested, he discovered he was able to steal other’s powers and abilities using demonic magic. Taking this as a sign that he was destined to rule over others and become the new king of this land, he poisoned his father, killed his elder brother, and embarked on the path to greatness, taking advantage of a demonic invasion to consolidate power and harvest the abilities of others in a cruel and bloody fashion. Until he was summarily defeated by the Hero as a mid-game boss battle and executed for his crimes, of course. When a dedicated fan of the RPG “Next to Eden” awakened in the body of the cruelest future Count, four years before the beginning of the game, he pledged to live humbly. He would let his brother lead and support the Hero from the shadows to ensure the demon invasion would be defeated and he could enjoy life in peace. Rather, he would have, if he hadn’t gotten the Hero’s mentor killed in a freak monster attack before the Hero’s training could even begin. How was he supposed to live a life of peace and luxury if the Hero couldn’t stop the end of the world!? Donning a mask, Cyrus took up mentoring the Hero himself; how hard could it possibly be? . . . Four years later, the kind jack-of-all-trades hero Leon had become a twisted powerhouse: alienating his party members, clearing enemy encounters in a single magical blast, and coldly ignoring the affections of the girl whose love would have allowed him to clear the final boss. He seemed to have plastered himself to his Master’s side, instead. Cyrus bit back his despair while the hero reached out to grasp his hand. “Please stop ignoring the saint, Leon; you can't beat the Demon King by grinding stats! You need the power of love, remember?” “Don’t worry, Master,” Leon smiled as he traced the lines of Cyrus’s palm gently, almost reverently. “I have all the love I need.” VDL is two parts plot and worldbuilding, one part slow-build gay romance, starring a man far too proud to admit he's in over his head and the hero who loves him. Should be updating weekly.
