- @obyezeks One of the greatest things about forgiveness is that it makes you unpredictable which is a very powerful thing.
- @Myne_Whitman No! It’s almost always ‘lust’ or ‘attraction’ at 1st sight. I think it’s impossible to love someone/thing you don’t know.
- @victorsozaboy The Key: Don’t believe you’re on A Long Walk To Freedom after you’ve been warned that it’s really A Famished Road.
- How well do Nigerians know John Grisham? Reply ‘1’ if you’ve read any of his books. Reply ‘2’ if you liked what you read. Comments welcome.
