Covid-19 vaccine, A cause for worry or concern! By Lincoln Maiogo.

Introduction  In a year in which a virus once again ravaged the earth threatening the human establishment, hope and comfort vanished like a thick smoke in the air. I am aware of thousands that have lost their loved ones during this dark period of human history and my prayers go out to them and may all those that departed rest in peace. The subject of vaccines is one which breeds both ambivalence of fear and excitement. The hard work, toil and efforts of scientists all over the world deserve thumbs up. Whilst we celebrate the discoveries of covid 19 vaccines around the globe, it became imperative to engage this contentious topic in bid to shed more light on the subject of vaccines. Plagues have always been in existence since time immemorial and whilst it is undesirable not to have them, an understanding of them is critical in fostering resilience in moving forward. Definition  A vaccine can be defined as a substance to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity...

  A LEGISLATIVE LINE BETWEEN PARENTING AND CHILD ABUSE. A CRITICAL SURVEY Parenting is one of the most important activities that men and women can engage in, but one needs to be fully equipped with knowledge on how he or she can manoeuvre in the journey of parenting. One needs to be aware of the legislative line that can be drawn between parenting and child abuse and the following write up shall be focusing on the legislative line between parenting and child abuse.

Bought by silver by Lincoln Majogo

  Writers notice The poem is not in any way an attack on virginity as an additive of value to lobola payments. It actually has nothing to do with it. It may sound so and in any way that is unintended. The poem seeks to propose better metrics for ascertaining value, some which includes humility, empathy, compassion etc. The poem reflects why these are better metrics as compared to virginity which in any way in the authors view does not always necessarily reflect ones character. Enjoy the read.   Bought by silver 250 pieces of silver were charged 250 pieces of silver were paid She’s a virgin! “you rarely find virgins these days” the father insisted And by his metric, she valued more on the market He took her and slept with her on the night He bought her with 250 pieces of silver!   He deflowered her on their first night Not a virgin anymore, she was his prostitute for life For his marriage was only to a virgin! Something she no longer was! She ha...

Choking the Apostle.

Writers notice. The following piece seeks to unpack some of the long terms effects of early childhood addiction to porn and masturbation. To drive home this point, it uses metaphors some of which may be easily discernible and some not. One must therefore keep an open mind of the issues the author is dealing with and the awareness he intends to raise in a bid to promote early healthy activities for youths. The language used should not in way be construed to depict women as sexual objects and in any way this should be understood to be a short story told for social purposes. The story contains some graphic details and as such the author requests caution and for those uncomfortable with such, this is the part where the they should stop reading any further! Thank you and have an enjoyable read.   Choking the apostle by Lincoln Majogo   The boy’s friend said he had found it, he said. Young Tinashe, aged 8, a freshman in the business had a strong appetite for porn at a very early age...
