Can You Really Make It As Faze Alone?

THERE'S A BOY BAND CURSE! Almost every decade the world is graced with a new Boy Band (Boy Band refers to a group of males singing and performing together as a group i.e Bois II Men). These boys come out, they’re young, energetic and vibrant and the world goes crazy. Guys wanna be em, and the girls all wanna be with em. But almost immediately after they taste fame and fortune, problems begin to abound; fights; people going solo, and before you know it, the boy band is dissolved. And almost always, only one person in that Boy Band makes it afterwards. It happened to Westlife (nobody made it afterwards though), Backstreet Boys (Nobody made it afterwards though), Nsync (You don’t know em, but they gave you Justin Timberlake) and now One Direction (call it a hiatus, call it whatever, history suggests otherwise).

The only earthly good men and women can look forward to is to eat and drink well and have a good time—compensation for the struggle for survival these few years God gives us on earth.”-King Solomon So a while back, a rich friend (by rich I mean, Mummy and Daddys money) and I thought it would be cool and morally gratifying to open something of a soup kitchen in school. Free food for all! It was brilliant! Unprecedented, and we more or less had the disposable income to pull it off. And why not? We were off in our middle class comfort-by student standards-living in our mansions-by student standards- having feasts (Mishai with suya, Indomie with suya etc,etc.) when there were those who hadn’t eaten the whole day long, with their last meal being cold, probably unmilked garri. The soup kitchen wouldn’t be for everybody, and it would have to be severely rationed, but it would provide for those who...
