If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

I would say, Michael Collins, the person I’m researching, but…

Thanks, but no thanks.

I would more likely end up working my ass off twelve hours a day in exchange, with not even a thank you.

There was a person who had unlimited access to Collins and was the only one who could know where he was at any time, a guy named Joe O’Reilly. He is the slender (and probably armed) man behind Collins in this picture:

O’Reilly was defined by Frank O’Connor as being Collins’s “courier, clerk, messenger boy, nurse, slave”. He was also the most usual end of his boss’s bouts of bad temper. However, he loved Collins to bits and was devastated by his death. Poor Joe probably got PTSD from the experience

INTERACTION FOR THE DAY Good question. Well—3 years are candidates for being a year I’d be willing to repeat, but do something differently:.2013.2014.2016. What is it about these years that I’d be willing to relive any of, them & make changes? These were the years I knew an unbelievably pretty, cute girl, that I almost certainly regret my situation with & want to change. 2013 & 2014, well, that school year was when I originally knew her. I could relive the entirety of either of these calendar years & make it so that I don’t maintain shyness around her the entire school year, ESPECIALLY when she was seemingly kind to me. Granted, if I selected 2013, well, it wasn’t until late/fall 2013 when I first met her, so I’d have to wait 9 months, but in all honesty, it’d be unquestionably worth it in 2016. Now this is a long story, but I’ll try to keep it as short as possible (this is related to the girl, just a side note): In the 2014–15, & 2015–16 school years, I, having bee...

Senator Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Nigerian Senate, recently made a significant assertion regarding the anti-corruption stance of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Throughout his eight years in office, his administration implemented several policies aimed at curbing financial malpractices. These included the Treasury Single Account (TSA), which centralized government revenue to reduce leakages, and the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), designed to eliminate...
