Right now, I don’t know.

Which of the members of the current executive board do you really admire? Why?
The General Secretary, because she is an open person and also tries to come out with a solution to situations.

Lack of confidence and communication after an early goal against us.

As a defender, I choose Laporte and the vice versa is none.

Name your preferred strongest line up of the Materials Engineering team.
Sammy(keeper), Yevoo(right back), Gideon (left back), Laporte and Gakpo(4 & 5), Naked(8), Dadzie(10), Arturo(6), Chaptez(11), Declan(7) and Kuban(9).

Engineering because right now, my main focus is on engineering and football is secondary.

Which team do you support? What influenced your choice?
Chelsea football club.When I started loving football, I saw there was a lot of black players in Chelsea and they were good, and also because of Michael Essien.

This world looks normal but they will tell you a lot of struggles many have passed through but your life is not their lives so determine what you want to do and make sure that it’s a must for you to complete what you started.

Who is your celebrity crush?Why?
Titiana Manaois because I love the words in her songs.

My Dearest Naa Ayele 💓

To the girl of my dreams From the guy who believes you’re undeniably enough My Dearest Naa Ayele, If I was your West, would your eyes' sun set on me? If I was your East, would your heart’s sun rise in joy from seeing me? If I was your North, would your life’s compass always point to me? If I promised to forever remain faithful, work on myself, right all my wrongs, worship the very ground you walk on, would your love for me still go south?

You embody everything perfect and true and divine and everything twice. You paint my mind with picturesque images only heaven could conjure. Whoever drew your curves has to be ...

Researchers Discover New Useful Nanostructure for Composite Material

Biwu Ma, professor of chemistry and biochemistry  Florida State University researchers have discovered a novel structure for organic-inorganic hybrid materials that shows potential for more efficient technologies. Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Biwu Ma, and his team have published a new study in the journal Science Advances, that explains how they created a hollow nanostructure for metal halide perovskites that would allow the material to emit a highly efficient blue light. Metal halide perovskites are materials that have shown great potential for photon-related technologies such as light-emitting diodes and lasers, but scientists have still been working to make them more efficient and effective. "The fabrication of new-generation color displays and solid-state lighting requires luminescent materials and devices of the three primary colors: red, green and blue (RGB)," Ma said. "Although multiple ways of color tuning have been demonstrated for perov...

When The Lass I Was Loving for Years Finally Said Yes!: Episode 1

PC: Pinterest Episode 1: Getting Acquainted I sent her a text on WhatsApp, ‘‘Bae, we’ve got a date on Friday night at Sparkles .’’ I’m sure she would have thought it would be one of our usual rendezvous , where we would chit-chat all night long talking about ourselves, among other matters, and getting a bit amorous sometimes, hahaha . But behind the scenes, something spectacular was boiling . She sent a reply, ‘’OK boo. I’m anticipating and will prepare in advance. Love youuu.’’ ‘’Love you bunch,’’ I responded. I was also preparing ahead for this big day where I would pop the question to the love of my life. I couldn’t wait for that grand day--the D-day--to declare myself to my better half. You could imagine all the sponging  and grooming that would go in on my side; and on the other side too, well, I couldn’t really guess. ’’Anticipate’’ was the only option. Akos was a lovely and comely young woman. She was beautiful in every sense of the word. She was tall (I was tal...
