THE "NIGHTINGALE": THE NIGHT SONGSTRESS

Dear Friends and success Partners. Welcome to “Naza’s Corner: Your weekend On-line Platform for the success minded Teens and kids”. Please enjoy this story on the NIGHTINGALE Bird.

 

Nightingale bird, the night songstress, is globally adored for its melodious and magical voice. It looks awfully cute and is often regarded as a romantic bird. For its beautiful voice, creativity and spontaneous singing, it has always been a source of inspiration for different poets and musicians. Eminent poets like John Keats and Shelley have often glorified these birds in their poetry. Nightingale is a morning bird but can be heard singing at dawn. In evening, these songstresses sing even louder to make up for the background noises produced in the wake of various activities. When threatened, it produces a frog-like croak. The best time to listen them, conveniently, is at night!

LITTLE THING THAT MATTERS: A CAPTIVATING STORY OF A YOUNG MAN

By @mercyadieor Mercy Akula.

I come from a very humble upbringing. Nairobi’s slums have always been my home and life’s luxuries were not always awarded to me. The basic necessities were always provided.

My experience behind the lens started not so long ago in 2013. It begun more as a hobby than anything else, until I realized that the world needed to see the beauty that is in the slums, portrayed by the pictures I took. It hasn’t been a smooth road. At first I would use my phone to capture the images, and then I moved to the camera. Walking around, borrowing cameras from friends, transferring them to my phone and then, sharing them on social media. Through hard work, consistency and a lot of perseverance, last year I got my own laptop and camera. They have been very fundamental in my work so far.

… MY CALL FROM THE WILDERNESS TO YOU ON DEMOCRACY DAY IN NIGERIA!

By Nnabugwu Chizoba

The story was told of an old Mule, who accidentally fell into a farmer’s well. 

For your information a Mule is the offspring of a Male Donkey (jack) and a Female horse (a mare). Note that Horses and Donkeys are of different species. From available records, a horse has 64 chromosomes, and a donkey has 62. The Mule ends up with 63. Mules can be male or female, but because of the odd number of chromosomes, they can’t reproduce.

THE HISTORY OF 'MAMMY MARKETS'

It was in 1959. Mammy Ode, a young girl from Jericho-Ugboju in the present Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State was married to Anthony Aboki Ochefu, a young Non-Commissioned military officer who had just been posted to Enugu from Abeokuta. They were quartered at the Army Barracks, Abakpa, Enugu.

To beat idleness and perhaps earn some money to support her young family, Mrs. Mammy Ochefu established a soft drinks business. She prepared gruel, which is called umu or enyi in Idoma, or kunu in Hausa, for sale to soldiers.She soon became popular with her stuff as soldiers trooped to her house to buy enyi. Some of her best customers were officers, who always sent their batmen to buy some of the gruel for them, Monday through Friday.

THIS WEEK END STORY "HE MERELY NEEDED SHELTER, WHILE IT WAS RAINING."...A MUST READ

"Late in 1994, an 87 year old man passed on in a village close to Amai, Kwale, Delta State.

Ufiaka left base early and arrived Agbor in good time to purchase the casket and make the return journey same day.
