The Merchant of Venice



I got to the point of deliberately using movies as an extension of my library.

It was 2 weeks to the exam and the book "Merchant of Venice" would not enter my skull no matter how hard I tried, it was a book written by Shakespeare and like the usual Shakespeare style of writing this would be a bit technical also because of its settings (in literature setting means the actual place and time of an event). This literature is centred around the old Italian environment. So there were many terminologies used in English that were unclear because of the Italian twist. Don't forget it was 2 weeks before the WAEC (West African Examination Council) Exam. 


The Twist - So my beautiful literature teacher got informed that there was a premiere of the Merchant of Venice book (the movie) at another school and gave us the update. It was the needed update very sure than any 'maga or fraudsters' update would rely on. It was a turning point in how I would begin seeing and interacting with the book. 


After seeing the movie just once I could read the bulky, technical, and seemingly uninteresting book at first twice before the exam.


Movies could teach


The journey of how I began using movies as an extension of learning and library began but that is not the end watch out for part 2. How my tech instructor rescued me from 'eye ori apata' (just pure waste of time) movies.

Time Validates

Hey there. Let's set the alarm for a productive day ahead. Before diving in, let's acknowledge the date, which might vary depending on where you're tuning in from. Now, let's get to it. But first, a word on the political and economic landscape here in Nigeria. It's crucial to recognize that the political elite often prioritizes their own interests over those of the people. Trusting them blindly is akin to living in a cycle of déjà vu, where they justify their actions while contradicting the interests of the people. Remember the proposal some time back that all politicians should educate their kids within Nigeria? The dismissive response to that idea was telling. It's clear they prioritize their own convenience over the needs of the people. We mustn't be naive to think they have our best interests at heart. It's imperative for us, the citizens, to organize and protect our own interests. Unity among us is paramount, transcending divisions based on religion...

Who and what are the failed past? 3

Who and what are the failed past? 3 Sometimes in 2005, After about 7 years,  I temporarily stopped reading books! My brother didn't understand and wasn't pleased about what I did. He couldn't understand why I would do that, (if you have ever gained any insight at all from me, part of the persons you should applaud is my brother. He introduced me to books outside academics and played the father figure in my life). Back to the story, he couldn't comprehend why I would suddenly stop reading even though I at that time didn't fully understand also. But part of the things knowledge gathering had thought me is to pay attention to my instinct. And at that time somehow the burning question of whether it should be more than just gathering knowledge was prominent in my thought, I knew there has to be more than that.  For instance, a professor is called a professor because he has started creating proving theories. Well, maybe not in Nigeria and Africa almost everything we do in...
