Two incidents of crime that I have encountered over the past couple of days via social networks have gotten me really concerned. I say this as someone who has a mother, two sisters, a teenage niece and many friends out there whose lives appear to be constantly at threat just for living their...

Wow, it’s really been a while since I’ve updated this blog. The past month or so have been crazy with five university deadlines over six weeks. Looking back, I’m not sure how I survived it! Then, besides my assignment deadlines, I had a few articles to write as well....

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you would know that one of my biggest enjoyments in life is travelling. I have always made it a plan to travel whenever I can. I think this is something I picked up from my parents, who took us on trips all the time since me and my sisters...

This morning was pretty eventful for me as I joined hundreds of other students standing in the cold outside our university waiting for the arrival of a special guest. The other students who were there, I’m assuming, were invited because we were scholarship recipients from the...

Unfortunately, I don’t have the answer for the question I ask in the title of this blog post. Yes, I know that the Deputy Secretary-General of the Home Ministry has explained the reason why but for the life of me, I cannot wrap my head around it. In case you’re not sure what...
