CREATIVE AND EFFECTIVE WRITING by Eneji Matthew

Let's begin with creative, creativity involves doing something in a refreshingly new/novel way or manner. There is an aspect of writing called creative writing, it's an entirely different kettle of fish and it's very broad, we won't be going into it. We'll be looking constructively at a creative AND effective way of writing, and not a creative (writing) and effective writing. Too many times, a lot of people consider themselves as not creative or not creative enough. The former is a lie and the latter is true, at least sometimes. But the good news is you can always improve your creative power through studying. To prove to you that everybody is creative, is there anybody here that has never told a lie in his/her life?

Then I was not at rest anymore; the thought of going to the emergency ward, sag down my trousers for some young ladies (nurses) to inject me was a serious bone of contention to me,   but blessed be the name of the LORD for face mask. I didn't see their faces so also they didn't see mine.   The first day was not bad, the second went well also, but when I was about to go for the third, I just finished praying, so I lay on my bed in deep reminisce and I could recall for over ten years of my life, I had nothing to do with drugs only for pain relievers, I recalled how my NHIS benefit wasted ( a benefit that covered ninety percent of my health fee till I was eighteen, as a result of my parents being staffs of the
