The Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos or Día de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday
celebrated in Mexico and elsewhere associated with the Catholic celebra ons of All Saints' Day
andAllSouls'Day,andisheldonNovember1stand2nd.Themul -dayholidayinvolvesfamilyand
friends gathering to pray for and to remember friends and family members who have died. It is
commonly portrayed as a day of celebra on rather than mourning. Mexican academics are
dividedonwhetherthefes vityhasindigenouspre-Hispanicrootsorwhetheritisa20th-century
rebranded version of a Spanish tradi on developed by the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas to
encourage Mexican na onalism through an "Aztec" iden ty. The fes vity has become a na onal

2008, the tradi on was inscribed in the Representa ve List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of

fromtheHispanicCatholicfes val.
The Día de Muertos was then promoted throughout the country as a con nuity of ancient Aztec

Flexibility exercises on the other hand
stretch and lengthen muscles. Ac vi es
such as stretching help to improve joint
flexibility and keep muscles limber. The goal
is to improve the range of mo on which can
reducethechanceofinjury.
Physical exercise includes training that
focuses on accuracy, agility, power, and
speed.
Types of exercise can also be classified as
dynamic or sta c. 'Dynamic' exercises such
as steady running, tend to produce a
lowering of the diastolic blood pressure
during exercise, due to the improved blood
flow. Conversely, sta c exercise (such as
weight-li ing) can cause the systolic
pressure to rise significantly, albeit
transiently, during the performance of the
exercise.
xercise is any bodily ac vity that
Eenhances or maintains physical
fitness.
It is performed for various reasons: to aid
growth and improve strength, for
preven ng aging, for developing muscles
and the cardiovascular system, for
honing athle c skills, for weight loss or
maintenance, for improving health, and
alsoforenjoyment.
Many individuals choose to exercise
outdoors, where they can congregate in
groups, socialize, and enhance well-
being.
In terms of health benefits, the amount
of recommended exercise depends upon
thegoal,thetypeofexercise,andtheage
of the person. Even doing a smallamount
ofexerciseishealthierthandoingnone.
Physical exercises are generally grouped
into three types, depending on the
overall effect they have on the human
body:
Aerobic exercise is any physical ac vity
that uses large muscle groups and causes
the body to use more oxygen than it
would while res ng. The goal of aerobic
exercise is to increase cardiovascular
endurance. Examples of aerobic exercise
includerunning,cycling,swimming,brisk
walking, skipping rope, rowing, hiking,
dancing, and playing tennis, con nuous
training,andlongdistancerunning.
Anaerobic exercise, which includes
strength and resistance training, can
strengthen, increase muscle mass, as
well as improve bone density, balance,
and coordina on. Examples of strength
exercises are push-ups, pull-ups, lunges,
squats, bench press. Anaerobic exercise
also includes weight training, func onal

Ÿ CARDIOVASCULARSYSTEM
The beneficial effect of exercise on the cardiovascular system is well documented. There is a

Children who par cipate in physical exercise experience greater loss of body fat and increased

Ÿ IMMUNESYSTEM
Although there have been hundreds of studies on physical exercise and the immune system,
there is li le direct evidence on its connec on to illness.[29] Epidemiological evidence suggests
that moderate exercise has a beneficial effect on the human immune system; an effect which is
modeled in a J curve. Moderate exercise has been associated with a 29% decreased incidence of
upperrespiratorytractinfec ons(URTI).
Ÿ CANCER
A systema c review evaluated 45 studies that examined the rela onship between physical
ac vity and cancer survival rates. According to the review, "[there] was consistent evidence from
27 observa onal studies that physical ac vity is associated with reduced all-cause, breast

"Evidence suggests that exercise may posi vely affect cancer survivors health-related quality of

be talking about a legend that changed my life/ His
name is CRISTIANO RONALDO DOS SANTOS AVERIO
(CRISTIANO RONALDO). He was born on FEBRUARY 5th,
1985 in MADEIRA, PORTUGAL. He was the youngest of
four children, and his mother NARIAS DOLOREZ was a
cookandhisfatherJOSEDINISAVEIRO,agardener.
As a boy Cris ano Ronaldo supported Benfica who were
thearch-rivalsoftheteamhelaterplayedfor.
Ronaldo's first club was an amateur side Andorinha and
his father was kit man for the club. Ronaldo's
determina on to succeed was such that he would
some mes burst into tears if he misplaced a pass or
gave the ball away. However, his talent was immediately
apparent, such that two local professional clubs, CS
MARITIMO and CD NACIONAL were eager to sign the
ten year old Ronaldo. It was then that Spor ng Lisbon
offeredtheyoungRonaldoatrial.
This meant that the young footballer had to live away
from his parents as he had to go and stay in Lisbon.
However he wanted to experience be er coaching and develop as a player with a bigger club.

Jose Mourinho watched Ronaldo play for Spor ng Lisbon's youth team and was amazed at his
skill, and speed and technique. It was here that he started to perfect his trademark 'stepover'
trick. In one season, Ronaldo developed through the Under 16s, Under 17s, Under 18s, B-team
andthenfirstteam.
HISTORY OF A LEGEND:

8. He scored three mes in twenty five games during his first two seasons. However, his main
chance came during a friendly against Manchester United. He terrorized United's players down
the wing to such an extent that at half me United's players were asking Sir Alex Ferguson to sign
him.
This happened soon a er and Cris ano Ronaldo was on a journey that would see him crowned

12. Inferiority and superiority complex: These two words oppose each other; so, I am going to start
withinferioritycomplex.
Inferiority complex, according to the oxford advanced learning dic onary, is a feeling
that you are not as good, as important, or maybe as intelligent as other people. We all know that
we have felt inferior in our lives at least once. Inferiority complex is a hard feeling to put down. It
hasmanydefectsinourlives.
DEFECTOFINFERIORITYCOMPLEX

4. Unhappiness
5. Drugabuse
HOWTOAVOIDINFERIORITYCOMPLEX
1. Always pray to God every day, for Him help
youovercomeinferioritycomplex.
2. Let the Word of God be your mirror in which
youseeyourself.
3. Always have good thoughts about yourself.
Alwayssay: 'IAMAWINNER'
4. Alwaysrememberthatyouarespeciallymade.
5. Be self-confident; carry yourself with dignity. Self confidence is the bed rock of a child's
development.
Now, going to superiority complex – this is a feeling that you are be er than other people, o en
as a way of hiding your feelings. Superiority complex is a feeling similar to pride. And you know
Godresiststheproud.
Superiority complex is an obnoxious character to put up, and there are so many instances where
superiority complex can be used. We kids and also teens are likely to do this. This is because we
use our parents as our source of superiority, especially when you want to be one of the biggest
girlsorboys.Inschoolorcampus,weuseourparentstomakeboast.
Do you know that where superiority complex is displayed, inferiority complex reacts towards it?

force.It isan agita on of theNigerianci zens aginst theNigerianpoliceforce.The protest

and federal capital inclusive). For a period 4-5 weeks, individuals (youths, ac vi es and

Unfortunately, on the 20th of October 2020, the protest took a different toll as protesters

of families in mourning, while some protesters are in pain because the Nigerian
government has failed to a end to their demands of ending SARS totally. Instead of
discon nuing the unit of the police force which is known as SARS, the government
brought a new police force known as S.W.AT, which will be done by the same people in the

18. When I was ten years old, my sister
asked me “Emmanuella what are your
dreams?”
And I said, “I want a Barbie doll house
that I
could live in”.
She giggled and said to me, “Ella, go
and dream again, you're just
fantasizing.” I quickly ran to my mom
and told her. My mom laughed so hard.
“Mummy, what are your dreams?” I
asked her.
And she said to me, “my child, when I
was a bit younger I was also asked this
ques on by one of my friends, and I told
her that I want to build a strong and
God fearing family, put joy in you and
your siblings' hearts”. It was at that
point I realized what my sister meant by
“what are your dreams?”.
At the age of fourteen I was asked this
ques on by my schools' guidance and
counsellor and I said to her “I want to be

Wto man. Seas and oceans are
largevarie esofwater.
About 70% of the surface of the earth is
water. There are many oceans and seas
like: The Atlan c Ocean, the Pacific
Ocean,theRedSeaetc.
Water is very important to man. It is the
most special natural resource of all. It is
used for many things like: plan ng,
bathing,drinking,makingjuiceetc.There
are so many ac vi es done in water like :
fishing , swimming and sailing. Water is
also important to plants because without
it,plantscannotgrow.
Sadly though, we know that water is
ge ng polluted because of our
industries and other human ac vi es.
The country keeps building more
industries, so our oceans and seas keep
ge ng polluted. Some people even use
the water as their toilets – that too is a
seriouspollutant.
Water pollu on also affects the aqua c
animals, especially the fishes. The
government tries to clean the oceans,
but we s ll make it dirty. I wish our
oceans and seas were clean and shiny as
gold. If I were the president, I'd provide a
day that everyone will clean their
environment, and if you don't, you would
besentencedto2weeksimprisonment.
If our environment is clean, won't our
country be known as the neatest
country? The plan to preserve our water
resources must be carried out quickly;
otherwise, the nega ve impact will be
massive. The government, private sector,

If you really admire something, you would

2. Indiscipline can make you lose the top:
As the saying goes, “ge ng to the top MAY
be easy, but maintaining that posi on is
what truly determines your intellect”.
Because you are at the top now does not
mean you should feel relaxed and think
that since you got the first place last term,

GOALS:
The Oxford Advanced Learners dic onary
defines goals as something you hope to
achieve. Whenwetalkabout goals,some
may think of when people like Messi or
Ronaldoscores.
In my defini on, a goal is something you
set your mind to achieve. Most schools
these days advise students to set goals for
the term or for the future. Some students
mayoverlookit,thinkingitispointless.
I used to be like that un l a er a li le
thinking that made me think deeply about
my future, and then I asked myself these
ques ons:

These are the things that may guide you
into making a goal. They really helped me

over 48 billion people, over 300 ethnic

as one and are united; yet, we live in a

As we go further, I will be dwelling more on
the aforemen oned crisis and a few other
things.
MURDER: In Nigeria, innocent people die
on the daily basis and some in the hands of
policemen, for example, SARS. The killing

CORRUPTION:Theabuseoftrustforselfbenefit.Itisageneralized
problem in Nigeria were trust is being broken for self interest.
Some leaders engage in this ac vity to stay and remain in
authority and that is not the right way to lead a society, there has
t o b e a c h a n g e .
A country without youths with standard values has no future. By
corrup on of youths, the fate of our beloved country is at stake
and one of those ways is through shows and other programmes.
Thebadleadershipofthiscountryhasallowedsomeac vi esthat

America hosts a global talent show “ America's got Talent”. The
pla orm of the show is so entertaining that people from around
the globe travel far and wide to perform there. But in Nigeria, we
display shows that cannot be watched by others outside Africa. If
we take out such and bring in shows that will let young people
display their talent and also improve in the educa onal system,
thefutureofthiscountryissecured.
Another problem that has not only affected Nigeria but the en re
con nent is lack of produc vity. If you visit places like; America,
Singapore, Dubai and the rest, you will observe they have one
thing which we don't have, Good Leadership. These places do not
have as much natural resources as Africa; yet, they are very
advanced. Nigeria has everything provided to be great, but we
don't use most of them. If we have high quality refineries to turn
our raw materials into finished products, there will be no poverty

23. Everyna onoftheworldhasitsmasterkeylikegoodleadershipandgovernmenttoglobal
economicdevelopment,butIwillbedwellingontheuseofnaturalresources.
First of all, what are natural resources: Natural resources are materials that are nurtured
by nature, and exploited for economic gain. Some of them are gold, diamond, crude oil,
limestone, etc. All these examples of natural resources can be found in any country in the
world today, and as men oned, they are used for the economic gain growth of
countries. Some people may ask how valuable these resources are to the world
(Individuals and countries). Well, as I can imagine, a diamond can bring someone a large
fortune depending on its weight. For example: 1.0 carats of diamond is worth $2,500 -
$18,000. And 3.0 carats of diamond is worth $7,200 - $51,000. So the value of the
resources whether silver, gold, pearls etc, is dependent on the weight and size. Not only
can natural resources build up the global economy, but they can also be a major means of
makingaccessorieslikevases,watches,jewelry,andplates.
The ques on now is how can these resources be processed to finished products like
changing crude oil to petroleum? These are made possible in ac ve and well equipped
factories. For countries with good industrial facili es, they can convert their natural
resources to finished products and export them to countries for advancement in the
economicsystem.

Ms.Chinenyerushedtothewindownearesttoherseatandbegantoshout.
Everyone, apart from the person I was talking to and me, rushed to the window. I didn't want to
move, for I thought it was a joke. But at that point, I heard my teacher scream, “No, don't beat
THE TERROR IN D-LINE
28. her.” I immediately rushed to the window,
and I saw two men being beaten by lots of
men in front of the Chokmah Primary
School gate. The security men tried to take
them out, but it was all in vain. Everyone
was scared, just as some people started to
cry.
It was at this moment that I was called to go
home. I then rushed to my mum and
hugged her. On the way home, I told my
mom what happened and she told me that
they were robbers and they had robbed a
lady who entered their fake cab. These
miscreants took her cash, threw her out of
the moving car, crashing her body against
the hard, tarred road that caused her to
sustaindevasta nginjuries.Terrorone!
She was rushed to the nearest hospital,
whereas the robbers got running away,
unknown to them there was traffic along
their escape route. As they ran, the Ikoku
boys chased them and the traffic caught up
with them right in front of Chokhmah
Primary. When they were caught at that
point because of the traffic, the Ikoku boys
brokeintothecabanddraggedthemoutfor
athoroughbea ngoftheirlives.
First, they stripped the woman and two
men naked, threw heavy stones on the
head of the driver and blood was
everywhere. It was tragic, as they began to
flog the woman and the two men with
belts, planks of wood and anything they
foundaround.
The woman became par ally blinded and
sustained injuries same as the men. The
woman began to beg the boys not to beat
her, but it was useless, because the police
arrivedtotakethemaway,justasbloodwas
everywhere, with the driver dead – terror

The next day, the same scene looked as if
nothing had happened there. But deep in
my memory, I knew that the unfortunate

A PUZZLE OF 5
Everyone has a dream to achieve in his or
her life. Some people dream of becoming
famous, popular, and rich. Some dream in
the day, while some at night. The
dreaming in the day is called “Day
Dreaming”. Experts do not know for sure
why we dream, but there are some
hypotheses why we do this.
For pleasure: there are some things we
cannot do in real life; so when we do them
in dreams, it gives us pleasure.
We grew up with the mentality that all
dreams come true; however, that is not
always true. Dreams happen mostly when
we are in the stage of sleep.
In my understanding, there are two(2)
types of dreams.
1. Physical: this is the one that is common
in the world. It is the
type that everybody must have
experienced. In your sleep, it knocks and
visits.
2. Spiritual: this is the type that is common
among Chris ans'. This is what you plan to
achieve in future.
A short poem on DREAM
It could be cold,
It could be bold.
It holds you down,
When you do not fight it out
But it can also hold you up not to
drown,
When you push to stay afloat.
The dream is a strong hold,
That is like a blindfold,
It could be “GOLD”
Or it could be mere sha untold.
In the world of a dream,
There are place holders,
In the world of a dream,
You've to carry your future on your
shoulders,

32. nsecurity means uncertainty about oneself. It is also the condi on of being exposed or
Iopenedtodangerorthreat.
Educa onistheprocessoflearning,developingofskills,habits,beliefsandvalues.
Insecurity can affect educa on in several ways. For example: some parents might be le with no
choice but to keep their child/children away from school. A typical example is what is happening
in North-eastern Nigeria where Boko Haram kidnaps students; they also damage and destroy
someoftheschoolbuildings.
Insecurity can also increase the number of illiterates in the country which eventually will affect
every sector of the economy. This is because the number of poor people will be high. Educated
individuals have be er opportuni es in future. They can get good jobs or become employers of
labour themselves. Insecurity can also force the government to declare a state of emergency,
thus shu ng down and suspending normal ac vi es which will prevent children from going to
school.
Children that are found in an insecure environment tend to live in constant fear and this affects
them psychologically. And as such, it makes them have low grades if the situa on is not properly
handled.
One of the ways to tackle insecurity is to ensure the educa onal system is working and the low
income earners can have access to free educa on. When a child is educated, he or she won't
thinkofcarryingarmsbecauseofthepoten alsthatcomewithbeingeducated.
A way of overcoming insecurity is by intellectual development. Intellectual development has to
do with educa ng pupils on how to form opinions properly without over-analysing. Listen and
valueotheropinions,alsothinkcri callyandbeawareofthecommunity.

Strength comes from struggle. When you
learn to see your struggles as opportuni es
to become stronger, be er, wiser, then your
thinking shi s from 'I can't do this' to 'I must
dothis.'
Some mes, struggles are exactly what we
need in our life. If we were to go through our
life without any obstacles, we would be
crippled. We would not be as strong as what
wecouldhavebeen.
Give every opportunity a chance, leave no

Negative peer pressure is being compelled by
your peers to do a bad thing that you don't want

There are many ways to overcome negative

igeria is our great country
Nwhich was colonized by the
British. The name 'Nigeria'
originated from the expression 'Niger
area'. This name was a coinage by Flora
Shaw, who later became the wife of Lord
Luggard, the country's first Governor
General.
Before all of these happened, the Benin
Empire was put at risk by the British.
They stole all the Benin artifacts, all the
terracotta heads, and then kept them in
their museums all over the world.
Museums that only people of dignity and
class entered. If we still had those
artifacts, I wonder how Nigeria would
havebeenlike.
Even when they stole them from us, and
even if you're a first class citizen of
Nigeria, they still will not allow you to
entertheirmuseums.
I believe that Nigeria would have been
known worldwide if we still had those
artifacts.
All hail Nigerian, as Nigeria hopes to
become exactly what the Western World is
