THE ICONS ORGANIZATION

Heart so heavy My cares are much To whom shall I run  So much to say but who cares to listen I tried in my ways but it never solve a thing.   And I remember him who has promised liberation I remember him who has so much possession I run to him with burdens so great, Heart troubled with care of this world A word said to him brought peace A word said to him brought assurance And my soul is at rest  Rest from cares Rest from worries He whispers assurance He restoreth my peace And then I rejoice for my heart is at peace Ogunwole Blessing

By Babajide Kehinde  Fake news has become a concern for everyone, the rate at which fake news spreads it has made real news to look fake. However, there are ways to differentiate fake news from real news. There are two kinds of fake news: 1.  Stories that are not true: these stories are purposely invented to make people believe something false, to buy a product or visit a certain site. 2. Stories that have some truth, but are not 100% correct: This kind of fake news doesn’t consist of objective writing, it is biased and aims to make readers believe a certain political ideology.

By Melody Samuel Probably, you opened your social media handle and you got to see messages and post warning you that Apple and Google have suddenly and stealthily installed a Covid-19 tracking app to phones and you should check yours then this means you aren't alone. Neither Google nor Apple uploaded an app to your smartphone without your permission; no stealthy and automatic tracking app has been installed. It is true that there's a new entry at the top of the Google settings on android smartphones that States *"covid-19 exposure notifications."* This doesn't mean an app has been installed, if you were to click on that entry it will take you to a screen that tells you to finish setting a particular app to activate the exposure notifications. Apple and Google published a joint statement about this back on May 20th "what we've built is not an app- rather public health agencies will incorporate the API into their apps that people install.

I remember, that cold chamber of lust, that made me covered in rust. I remember that cold night- evergreen. The night I lost my voice, The hour my eyes let tears dance down freely, the minute my lungs failed to help me breathe,  the second I inhaled his smell of bestiality. I lost my soul- without strength. My clothes in shreds, My body in pieces, My life just as wilted petals of flowers. The night I lost what made me feel whole, The night I lost what I cherished, The night I felt the weakest, The night I had the urge to kill. This night I smelt death, saw death, everything seemed to have the colour of death and the sounds around followed me with scorn- death's mocking laughter. Pity's sneer. He came, He tasted, He ate like a hyena, Grunted like a lion, howled like a wolf, Left me like a vulture. I'm spread naked, all open, pain stinging, like a slain sheep in its own blood. My thoughts couldn't comfort me, My feet wouldn't respond. Only my eyes knew I was too empty...
