An Economy Of Justice – Josh Journal

The Camera-Friendly Generation – Josh Journal
In the meantime, the police love the camera-friendly generation. They have make investigations easier.

Are You Dating Or Babysitting? – Josh Journal
Before you say age is just a number, consider dating someone older than you by the exact number of years you are older than your target.

Catcall Or Compliment? – Josh Journal
What you say and how you say it is often the difference between a compliment and a catcall. It is often the difference between all the ladies looking forward to seeing you in the morning or walking away as soon as they see you.

New Week, New Temptations. (Deputy Girlfriend)

No Verse Walks Alone – Josh Journal
The Bible is so vast that people will find a verse to justify almost any situation.

The Myth Of “The Spur-Of-The-Moment” – Josh Journal
The reality though is that spur-of-the-moment decisions never tell the full story. Hardly is anything ever that impromptu.
Knowingly or unknowingly, you are constantly preparing for every moment. Most times, unknowingly.
They Said I Say “Sorry” Too Much – Josh Journal
Is it actually possible to be saying sorry too often? Isn’t that part of ethics, morals, and civility?

That is the easiest way to describe this absurd proposal to rename the country.

Announcing a ban of Twitter on Twitter is like going to someone’s house to insult them. And the someone is an MMA fighter.

Mona Lisa 2.0 – Josh Journal

The Half Gist On Lagos Buses – Josh Journal
Your best bet is to keep quiet and listen to the half gist from wherever you joined. If the opportunity to join in presents itself, feel free to join in.
But do that at your own discretion. Believe me, you don’t want them to wrap up the half gist and make you a full gist.

Now The Day Is (Almost) Over (Deputy Girlfriend)
When I got back to the house, my two gossiping neighbors were nowhere to be seen. So also was whatever little respect I had for them.
