The Ticket In The Jacket

After my supposed outburst at the most opulent purchase of one piece of apparel our country has ever seen, I decided to scour the web in search of the now legendary Red Jacket. Our national papers didn't have the images on their online platforms as to when it was been purchased but luckily for me they had the stories that made the said jacket famous and valuable.

Social Media In A Third World Country

"We must avoid with our utmost endeavor, and amputate with fire and sword, and by all other means, from the body, sickness; from the soul, ignorance ; from the belly, luxury; from a city, sedition; from a family, discord; and from all things,excess."       Pythagoras I had a discussion some days ago that could have gone south and intense in a very short space of time. I would like to imagine my counterpart in the discussion was not out for blood in her replies to my responses, often are times when people who socialize online tend to have conversations on topics they take out of context. Here is what our argument was all about and how it ended Success, Money or Wealth and Health. As most of you will notice the probability of misunderstanding each other was extremely high in comparison to if this were a verbal discourse, such is what awaits everybody online trying to make their opinion heard even if theirs is one lacking in logic or factual content, which ...
