BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!!

  This is a platform where we meet people and they share their life experiences with us. And we get to know somethings about their culture.
    
    How did you get here?
There were 7 of us who came to Nigeria the same day. We took a different route from the normal route to Nigeria according to the person who brought us and we weren't stopped on our way down here at all.
    Is there any difference between your country and Nigeria?
Well,not much difference,just that in my village when rain falls, we don't wear slippers because our slippers will cut and we don't have tarred roads in the village too.
   What does your daily routine look like?
We leave home every morning as early as possible to the farm,come back home between 12 noon and 1pm to eat then whoever wants to sleep can sleep while the rest of us go bush hunting.
   What is the most heroic thing you've done?
I killed a big bush rat.
  Does your tribe have any funny tradition?
Let's say you go hunting and see a big meat and realise you can't kill it alone,if you can just injure the animal a little then run back to the village to call someone or people,the meat becomes yours automatically when its been killed. All you need to do is appreciate them by giving them part of the meat. But if you don't mark the animal and you call someone or people, the meat will be shared equally among everybody who contributed to the killing.
    What is the name of your village?
Lobogo in Benin Republic

PROUD SISTER

A POEM DEDICATED TO MY BROTHERS
  I remember growing up as the only girl,
  As I had lost my only sister to another man.
  These creatures after me were my worst nightmares,
  They put up the most annoying and random attitudes,
 I will "scream" and "yell"
 And I remember them telling me one  day           
  "stop yelling at us,we are not babies".
  I won't forget being beaten by our parents  severally because of them.
  But looking at them today,I flashed back and smiled,
  "How time flies" I said.
   They have matured into fully grown young men without me noticing.
   And being the proud sister that I am,
   I am proud to have two tall,handsome guys after me.

PS: Apply if interested...lol

READY TO CLIMB?

    I saw a picture a of a man a while ago who was huddled next to a fire, burning some sticks of wood. Beside him, lay some sticks. The way he held his hands out to the fire, anyone could tell he was really cold.
    Behind him was a wall; a tall wall. He was enclosed within tall walls all around. On one of these walls, leaned a ladder and several rungs had been broken off the ladder. It was the rungs that he burnt to make a fire. This man had two problems: He was TRAPPED behind tall walls and was COLD. He solved one of his problems (the COLD). But the way he solved that problem was unsustainable- cos one day, the wood from the ladder would finish. At the same time, he had effectively ensured that he would NOT be able to solve the other problem- his ENTRAPMENT. He won't be able to climb out since he had burnt up the wood of the ladder to keep himself warm. He had burned up his present(the ladder) for his future(climbing out) and lost the only opportunity he had. He didn't want to die of cold, but will eventually die of hunger due to his foolish choice .He damned his escape for his present situation.
    We all make decisions and it seems like the best choice at that time but actually not the best in real sense. Some things are GOOD but not the BEST for us.
That is why we all need to look and critically think about the QUALITY of the CHOICES we are make.
    Have a swell weekend!!!
    I smell Christmas already...lol

TWO BIRDS: ONE STONE

  I smile hard, I laugh even more,
  Some see it as awkward and the  others,bizzare.
   Atimes, I get questions like "Why do you laugh always?" or "I have never seen you moody. Don't you have worries?"
   Of course, I don't! Cos since I left my worries to God, I been chilling.
   Its not that I don't have pressing issues neither is it that I don't have problems.
   But I stopped worrying about anything when I realised moodiness and worry burdens you more.
    Then I learnt to smile cos I saw it brighten people's faces,
    And laughed even more cos my laughter made other people laugh.
    I became happy and fulfilled,
    With that,I think I killed 2 birds with 1 stone.
   Your smile defines you.......
.......Have a beautiful Tuesday!

WHAT WAS THAT???

It sounded gentle and soft that no one  could barely hear it,
As Funmi slightly tilted her bum,
It made its escape out of the hole.
In seconds,it had diffused into the air,
"Hmmm" the young lady who sat beside   her shrugged,
With a confused face,
The lady asked "What was that?"
"Huh? What?" wearing an innocent look,
Funmi questioned "What do you mean?"
"That odour" the lady replied.
"Odour? I perceive nothing" Funmi replied
After about 15seconds,
Beautiful lady couldn't take it no more,
She stood up and walked out;
To receive fresh air I suppose.
  "Damn! I never knew it would smell this bad" Funmi hit herself as she looked guilty.
  But to be truthful,it smelt like
  A combination of rotten eggs and a pot  of 3-days old beans covered,unwarmed.
  Guess what that was?!
  It was A FART!!!
   

 

REAL MEN DON'T RAPE

God where is your face? Why have you decided to sit and watch men defile young girls around the globe? It hasn't been this hard on me since I've been reading RAPE stories. Jeez! I woke up today to over 5 different rape stories within 3hours. Rape cases are on the increase and to think these rapists are human is totally baffling. Abi how will a rightful thinking man of 20 rape an 18months old toddler or how do you explain the case of a "so called" Nigerian corp member (educated illiterate) rape a 5year old girl? and so on. Its bizzare,its crazy,it makes no sense! When they are being interviewed, they will say its the devil (na devil carry your blokos enter the pikin tin?) Ah ah! E beeru olorun eyin okunrin wonyi(You these men, fear God!). My prayer for these so called rapists is simple "The God of these girls(both young and older girls)y'all are defiling is not asleep and will definitely purnish you in a terrible way" cos RAPE is hard to deal/live with. A lot of these raped girls die as a result of the traumatic experience/having to deal with the fact that they have been raped and therefore see no good in themselves. They take their own lives if they are not quickly helped. You rape young,you rape old,its bad. You feel like? Go and get married or visit prostitutes and do whatever you want to do and stop defiling innocent people. I'm done!!! #FixItJesus

LESSONS FROM ANTS

  I just left the bath and had my towel wrapped round my chest.
  I sat on the soft sofa at one end of the room cos I had just received malaria treatment (alpha-beta arteeter injection) before leaving for the bath.
  I was weak,tired and feeling dizzy at the same time. "This injection has commenced work", I said to myself.
  Let me quickly get dressed and lie down. "What dress would I wear now?", I thought. "Why don't you put on a silky dress to avoid feeling hot and make you feel relaxed?", I suggested to myself.
  "OK, which of the silky dresses am I putting on now oooooh?" *thinking*
  As I got lost in thought of what to wear,something caught my attention on the wall.
  Guess what?! There were 2 tiny ants exchanging pleasantries. Huh? Ants? Pleasantries? Yeah!
  I see this everyday but never took it serious neither did I take cognizance of it.
  They were coming from opposite directions and as they approached and crwaled towards each other. They faced themselves and when they met at a spot,they touched each other with their heads for about 2seconds and went their separate ways.
  That scene looked so cute and enviable.
  Then thoughts danced in my head,  "Only IF humans could be this friendly and homely with each other like the ants"
   "Ants know how to relate among themselves without beefing or snobbing each other"
   "Ants are cooperative and united compared to we humans".
  "If ants that are lesser animals can be this organized and also understand each other so well, then we higher animals(according to biology) have no shame".
  As these thoughts sprung in my head,I slept off.
  Have a totally beautiful weekend❤✌

FICTION OR REAL SERIES- KARMA OR FATE(3)

  My mum was shocked when she heard that. She did not know what to do that moment cos it was obvious she wasn't in control of herself anymore. "Where is he now?" She asked. "His neighbor was the one who called to inform me that they were in the hospital" his fiancée replied. "OK" my mum replied as she rushed in to pick her slippers and off they went.
   As at the following morning, he was getting better and was asked to narrate his ordeal. "I just heard a voice talking me to hang myself" he replied as he narrated to my mum and his fiancée. They were all confused as they looked at each other. Two days later,he was discharged from the hospital and started his wedding preparation the following week.
  Three months later,he got married and they had their "patter of tiny feet"(baby) a year after. It was a beautiful baby girl who looked so adorable and goodly. Eshan(their baby girl's name) became more beautiful as she grew older with the care she received from her parents. But like the saying "KARMA is a BITCH". The law of Karma took its turn in Eshan's life as she wasn't up to 5years old when their house help(male) who was around 18 years old started inserting his "blokos" into her cunt and defiled the little girl.
  END!!!
  Like the bible said and I quote "The iniquity of the father will be on the children even up to the fourth generation". That's why its good to always have it in mind that whatever you do today,you won't only reap what you've sown but your children,children's children and even up to the fourth generation will reap part of it. Safe!!!
  

FICTION OR REAL SERIES-KARMA OR FATE?! (2)

   It was the most disgusting thing I had experienced as at that time. He took advantage of my innocence as a young girl who knew nothing. As he fixed his mouth to mine and enjoyed the kiss, I was struggling to release myself off his grip and was blowing him with my tiny fists. After about 2minutes of serious blowing and kicking,he left me and smiled. I felt devastated as I looked at his face with so much hatred,twas as if I could get a gun and shoot him. "I was just playing with you" he uttered as he saw how my face spoke so much hate. I hissed and walked out of the kitchen as I made straight to the bathroom and quickly washed my face and mouth cos it seemed like he had mouth odour(Jeez! Can't deal!). I gazed at the mirror in the bathroom and felt irritated, I hated myself for what had just happened. I left the bathroom and made my way to the door and sat at the house entrance. I sat there confused as many thoughts ran through my head (what was that uncle Tosin was doing in there? His mouth stinks!) Oh Gosh! I thought.
    Two hours later,mum came in. I'm sure she would have thought that it was unusual for me to see her coming in with stuffs and wouldn't help. But she kept calm and carried the shopping bags in herself. I didn't even behave as if I knew she came in. She became worried as she sat in the sitting room for about 10minutes and didn't see any sign of me coming in. At this point,she knew something was wrong. She came to the door and called "Ana!" "Yes mum" I answered as I fixed my eyes on the flowers and didn't look up. "What is wrong with you?" She questioned as she slowly sat beside me. "Who offended you? Who beat you? Did uncle Tosin scold you?" She continued as she bombarded me with too many questions at the same time. "Mum,nothing is wrong" I replied as I shook my head and looked away. "There is something wrong Anne,talk to mum" she continued. At this point,tears had filled my eyes and were about rolling down my cheek. "Tell me baby" mum spoke softly and held me close. Tears were already rolling down my cheeks as I responded "its uncle Tosin". "What did he do? Did he beat you?" She questioned as she looked very curious. "No,he put his mouth in my mouth" I replied "His mouth in your mouth?" She asked with a frown on her face as she stood up immediately and went inside.
    Meanwhile,he(uncle Tosin) was still in the sitting room having a nice time with my siblings. "Tosin!" She called.....her face spoke anger. He stood up immediately and rushed towards her, "what was the meaning of what you did to Ana? Why would you kiss her?" She asked as she sounded so furious. "I was just joking with her" he answered her "What sort of joke is that? Ehn?! Answer me!"
She questioned with so much fury. "Don't try such with me again. Never again!" She warned him. "OK ma" he nodded and felt so heavy as he took a stroll back to sit down.
    Thirty minutes later, he left and since then,coming to our house became a whole lotta problem to him. 6months after,her finally got the woman of His dreams. He felt so ashamed bringing her to our house. Finally,Quincy was going to get married to our Uncle 'wicked heart' Tosin and would become a part of the family. But something happened 1year into their courtship. That day,Aunt Quinn ran to our house and looked very troubled "Where is your mum?" She asked "She is in" I answered her. She rushed in and told my mum amidst tears "Aunty,Tosin ti pokun so(Aunty,Tosin has hung himself)"
To be continued.......

FICTION OR REAL SERIES-KARMA OR FATE?!

    I was barely 11 when this young man  walked into our sitting room and prostrated in front of my mum that evening. "Ahhh!!! Tosin bawo ni?(how are you?)" My mum questioned as she stood up to hug him. "Ku ojo meta,bawo ni nkan? (Longtime,how is everything?)" She continued. "Fine ma" he replied. "Ana!" My mum called as she used her hand to signal to me to come cos I was sitting at the other end of the sitting room. I walked towards her and I knelt down(Yoruba culture) to greet this young man. "Good evening sir" I greeted. He should be in his "late twenties/early thirties" with his looks I thought. "How are you my dear?" He responded as he drew me up with his hand and bent down to give me a warm hug. "Do you know him?" Mum asked. "No mum" I replied. "This is Tosin my cousin" she said as she pointed at him. "OK mum" I replied as I shyishly smiled and looked at his face. He sat down on the sofa as me and mum went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. It was time to eat and dad told me to invite him to the dinning to have dinner with the family.
   At around 9:00 that night he left and since that time,we became fond of him. Yaaaayyy!!! Uncle T is around as me and my younger ones will run towards him and jump on him anytime he comes to our house. This continued for months until one day when mum called him to come around cos she was to go shopping. Mum told him she would leave us at home and didn't want us to be all alone at home. So,she invited him to come and keep our company till she came back. Mum left and Uncle T came in about 30minutes later. Yaaaaayy!!! Uncle T is around I announced as my younger ones came out and we all jumped on him as usual. He came in and sat down,as I went back to the TV where I was seeing a movie. "Ana!" he called as I sluggishly stood up "Ooooohhhh! Not again. Why is Uncle Tosin disturbing me now again? I hope he doesn't want me to dish him food?" I thought as I paused the movie and moved towards him. The movie was a very interesting one and couldn't afford to miss a scene. "Go and get me a glass of water" he said. "I knew it!" I thought as I reluctantly stood up and picked up the remote to pause the movie I was watching. "This uncle sef and his wahala..he likes disturbing someone" I murmured to myself as I sluggishly walked to the kitchen. But as I walked to the kitchen,I noticed someone was following me. "Its one of my siblings" I thought and entered the kitchen. At this point,I decided to look back and guess who I saw? It was Uncle Tosin. "Ah ah why did you follow me?" I asked as he moved closer and held my head tight as he started kissing me.....yuck!!!

FICTION OR REAL SERIES-LOVE or LUST (4)

    Ella's heart almost jumped out of her chest as she read the line "I'll def dump Ella for Charlotte". She felt "Oh,no! Not again!" but what could she do? Ray has chosen Charlotte over her. As usual,Raymond came with his gimmicks to talk Ella into not leaving him by cooking unimaginable lies you can't but believe. "Sorry,not this time!" Ella told him bluntly. At this point,he felt he had lost it with her. Their communication deriorated as Ella felt close to nothing for him anymore. He would go days without talking to her which worsened into weeks. He would go 2weeks without saying a word then come back to give flimsy excuses.
   Their communication break continued for two months,by this time,she met this handsome,Channing Tatum, 6ft. tall,chocolatey guy. They became good friends and became so fond of each other,their friendship waxed stronger as they couldn't spare 3hours without ringing themselves on phone. Raymond on the other end came begging,he already understood that there was a huge difference between "concussion and jollof rice". Mr perfect(Ella's newly found friend) started giving getting married to Ella a thought. Raymond realised he had chosen wrongly cos he found out Charlotte had moved over him to a "bigger boy". Raymond is everything she wants in her man except for the fact that he lied to her and toyed with her heart. He's back on track and ready to stay faithful with Ella.
     Raymond visited Ella one evening but she won't let him in. He pleaded with her but refused and he left. Mr perfect is nursing his intention of marrying Ella and still doesn't want to be too forward but Raymond keeps coming back on his knees and assuring her of his love and is ready to take her to the altar. It was at this point she realised a part of her still loves Ray.
     It was a Saturday afternoon around 1:00pm,Ella's phone rang. "Hello,Josh!" "Yeah,how are you? What are you up to later today?" Josh(her newly found Mr perfect) asked. "I'll be home" Ella replied. "Can we have a nice time at the beach by four,please?" He asked. Ella chuckled and gave it a thought for about 10seconds and gave him an answer "Yes!". "Oh! Thank you. I'll be at your place by 3:30" he told her. The call ended then she heard a ring at the door;she rushed to the door and met Raymond. "Hi" he greeted "Hi" she replied. "Yes,what can I do you for?" She asked with a harsh tone. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you but please can we meet at Dauber's restaurant by 4:00?" He asked politely. "No,I have a date for 4:00 also" she replied immediately. "Ok,7:00?" He insisted politely with a smile on one end of his cheek. "K, 7:00" she replied. "Thanks,see you by 7:00" he said as he left the door and walked away. She stood there for about 30seconds thinking about him before she slammed the door behind her and leaned against the door. "No! No! No! Not with this monster she said to herself. No more feelings for him. I gotta get set for my date" she said to herself.
   It was 3:30 already and Josh rang her door bell. "Who's it? I'll be there soon" Ella announced. She opened her door and met a flower and a card inscripted on it was "I LOVE YOU" at the door step. "Its Ray again" she said to herself as she picked it up and hissed then threw it on the sofa. At 3:35,Josh came in and they both headed to the beach at about 3:50. At the beach,they talked,laughed,ate and took pictures together. As they walked towards the sea,Josh spotted a bottle tucked into the sand and pointed at it. He told Ella to go pick it up. She picked it and inscripted on it was "Check the paper inside the bottle". She looked at Josh's face and looked worried as Josh nodded,indicating she should check the paper out. She turned the bottle upside down and the paper fell out. She opened it to read and what did she see? "Ella,its been few months with you but seems like ages. I've loved you from the very first day and have chosen you among all to spend the rest of my life with you. Please,will you marry me?" She read this note with tears and smiles on her face. After reading the note she looked down and met Josh on his knees.
If you were Ella,what will be your reply?
See you tomorrow..............

FICTION OR REAL SERIES- LOVE or LUST(3)

   At the door, Nicky met the WANTED(Raymond). "Hey!" Nicky greeted him  "Hi. How are you? What of Ella?" He questioned all together. "I'm good. There she is!" As she pointed towards one end of the living room. He walked in with a friend of his. "Hi!" Noël greeted with a hand gesture, "Hi" Nic replied as she shut the door after him. Immediately Ella saw Ray,she put her face away and made for her phone on the stool sitting beside the couch where she sat. She picked up the phone and started scrolling acting like she didn't notice his presence. As he walked towards where she sat,he became more scared not knowing what Ella's action would look like. "Ella?" he called in a soft tone as he got to her side and made for his knees. "Yes? How may I help you? Get away! I hate you,you monster!" As she yelled at him. "Ella please hear me out" he said as he muttered;still on his knees. "I met her(referring to his so-called ex) on my way home and we stopped to talk as she trickishly asked to check out my new phone,only to see her moving away as she scrolled down to check my last call. I tried to collect the phone from her but she ran faster. She saw your number and I didn't know what to do again,before I could say anything,she had already made her way to the other side of the road then dialled your number. She immediately threw my phone at me after talking to you and waved down a cab then popped in as the cab zoomed off" he explained. "I became so confused cos I didn't know what she told you. I was scared of calling cos I know you wouldn't want to listen to anything I have to say on phone" he continued. "Baby,I'm sorry" he muttered as he burst into tears not minding the presence of Nic and Noël his friend. "I'm sorry Elle. I love you and won't trade you for anything. She(referring to his ex) is my past and I'm over her but she won't stop coming after me,she's desperate and wants me back at all cost. I'm here for you babe, I'm going nowhere" he continued as he held on to her(Ella).
   After he made a lot of promises,she gave him her word. "I don't want to hear of this girl,never again. I don't want to see her around" she said with all seriousness on her face. Their romance waxed stronger by the day until 4months after when something happened. It was an evening when Raymond was chatting with his friend,Noël on BBM and was chatting with Ella at the same time. Noël asked Ray "Who would you dump for the other between Ella and Charlotte (his so called ex)"? As Ray received the message,he smiled and immediately replied. He typed "I'll def dump Ella for Charlotte" and sent. The ping indicated that it has been delivered so,he checked and got the shocker of his life. He mistakenly sent the message to Ella and not Noël.......

FICTION OR REAL SERIES- LOVE or LUST (2)

It was Raymond's number calling "Hello dear!" Ella answered as she picked up the phone. "Hello!" The caller replied (it was a females voice she heard). She looked at the screen again to be sure it was Raymond's number (what could be wrong with him? But he just left my place 30 minutes ago....she wondered. Could he be in danger? Why is it someone else that's talking and not him or could it be some network ish? She became more worried). The caller quickly replied "Did I just hear you say "Hello dear"? She questioned Ella. At this point, Ella was forced to ask "Who is this please"? "Yeah,its me Raymond's girlfriend" and before Ella could say Jack Robinson, the caller continued " please I want you to end any form of friendship or relationship you have with Raymond" . Ella became weak immediately and all she could say was "OK". I have never been this embarrassed and humiliated my whole life....she thought and immediately swore never to have anything to do with Raymond again. Where she was soliloquizing,she didn't realise somebody had entered her room. "Babes! Why are you talking to yourself"? Her friend (Nicky) asked "Hmmm...nothing" Ella replied. "C'mon girl! When did you start keeping things from me? Tell me! Who is making you sad? You couldn't have been talking and yourself and didn't even realise my presence as I came in if nothing is wrong. Talk to me! Who is it? Is it Raymond?" Nicky insisted. "Hmmm...yes,its Ray" Ella answered as she burst into tears like a car engine that had just been ignited.
"Sorry dear" Nicky consoled her as she patted her on the back and reached for her handbag and drew out an handkerchief to wipe tears off her face. "Stop crying,its okay. BTW(by the way),what exactly did Ray do?" Nicky continued. "Its his girlfriend that called me,whereas Ray denied not having a girlfriend that he called it quits with this girl 5months ago. Now,I received a call from this same girl with his number who was telling me leave her boyfriend alone. Nicky,I have never been this embarrassed and humiliated my whole life" Ella explained further as she cried harder.

"Jeez! What da heck is wrong with Ray? Why would he allow you to experience such humiliation? Sorry hon,you are a strong girl. So,don't accept defeat. After all,the girl might just be one of those side chicks that are jealous of you and are trying everything to rip you both apart cos Raymond doesn't look like a player" Nicky consoled. "I got a plan. Let's give him a call to know what happened" Nicky suggested. "Not with my phone" Ella responded. "Okay,I understand you don't need to speak with him. I'll do the talking. You just hand me over the phone"  Nicky suggested further.
   Ray's phone rang and he picked up "Ella?" he called  "Its Nicky" she replied "Nicky, please where is Ella?" Ray questioned "She's here with me. And who was that girl who pulled that stunt? Nicky sounded harsh this time. "Nic please I can't explain all on phone now. Where are you girls?" Ray asked as he spoke with a shaky voice. "We are in Ella's place" Nicky replied. "OK. I'll be there in a bit but please don't tell Ella I'm coming over" Ray pleaded.
    Five minutes later, the door bell rang and Nicky rushed down to the door to check who it was. Lo and behold! It was.......

LOVE or LUST??? (1)

    Ella (not real name)was beautiful and pleasing to the eyes ( she had a long and dark hair,dark eyes, of average height and always wears this contagious smile). She was loved by a lot of people who came across her except those who had bitter leaf water running through their veins, as she was very homely and accommodating(she was every man's dream woman). Her love for children grew by the day as she had always dreamt of carrying her own child someday.

   THE GENESIS
     Ella was on the island(Lagos) as usual to run errands for her mum during the weekends when she met this "Hello,Hi" friend of hers(Raymond). She met him in her first year in the university during registration and since then,its been
     "Hi, how are you?"
     "I'm fine. And you?"
     "I'm good"
and they'll go their separate ways. Its been like that anytime they meet on campus for 4 years now.
   This time around,they are meeting for the first time outside the four walls of the university. She saw him first and was like
    "Hey,you!" He lifts his head up to see who was trying to catch his attention and to his greatest surprise,its Ella. "Oh,you!" He replied! "How are you"? He continued. "I'm fine and you"? Ella said. "So,you live in Lagos"? Raymond asked. "Yes ooo!" She answered. "And how are you enjoying this compulsory break of yours"? (She meant strike as their school at that time was on strike due to the riot that occurred earlier in their school) "Oh! You mean the strike"? He chuckled "Yes nau" she replied. "I'm trying my best to catch my fun all around. In fact I just came back from Ibadan recently" Raymond said again. "So,what have you come to do here"? Ella asked "I came with my cousin to pick up some things in the market" Raymond replied. After a long chat,they exchanged BBM pins and left.
   He sent her a request later that evening,she accepted the request and they got chatting. A week later,he started making advances by asking questions like "How is your boyfriend"? She told him she had none but later explained she was into one but that relationship was at the verge of breakingup. He then said he had none too cos his ex whom he dated for 3years cheated on him and eventually contracted STD which after she complained of some symptoms and he took her to see a doc,she had toilet infection,as they call it. So,she later confessed to him that she had an affair(unprotected) with a guy somewhere,he explained further on chat to Ella. "Hmmmmm" she took a deep sigh  as his story sounded like something cooked up together since she knew where exactly he was going. "Guys and shifting blames. You all are the same!" Ella said "I hope it is true,tho" she continued.
    Two days later,he started the "I love you,please be my girl syndrome" she refused and kept saying NO and the struggle was on for about 3 months when she eventually agreed to start something SWEET with him. Two weeks after their(Ella and Raymond) love affair began, she received a call;something happened.

VANITY!!!

I  vividly Recall d story of a man who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude. U wouldn't buy that car for 50k today. Some other guy brutally murdered his brother ( whom their father gave cash 2 travel 4 the purpose of re- stocking their warehouse), just 'cos he wanted 2 acquire the rave of the moment - Pathfinder Jeep. That same vehicle is now better described as a coffin. I Remember as a kid, my whole street gathered to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite dish to my neighbour's house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in almost every student's room. What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V boot, 505 Evolution, Toyota Crown, all overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda, Bugatti, Bentley, X6, Acura and Infinity.... Vanity! Some ladies left their true loves cos some rich guy then persuaded them with a Benz 190, which turned out 2 be the only car they ever owned till date. They found out too late that true love is invaluable. A friend declared drinks because he launched the Nokia Communicator for over hundred grand in 2002. Today that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phone. What about d MTN sim card dat many people went extra miles b4 dey bought for over 30k, today u will not buy it at N100 bcos all networks are begging people to even take it for free. People are still making the most horrific sacrifices over 'vanity' and make enemies over worthless material things. What can I Say? Look back at that one thing you want to kill or die for today and see what becomes of it tomorrow. There is absolutely nothing u can't achieve, all u need is a little time and PATIENCE and u would thank God without regrets....
Bless!!!

How to build a happy and peaceful home (MUST READ FOR MEN)

Saw this somewhere..This lady said her dad told her brother these wise words and every guy out there needs to read this ..I agree especially no 5 and 6,tho.... lol

1.My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.

2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.

3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office.

4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.

5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent.

6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.

7. My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again.

8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.

9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.

10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all along.

11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother father’s house, to call her out, it was not for sex, i was because I missed her so much.

PRIDE

    Happy easter friends! How are you guys doing? Bet you are enjoying your easter break? Sure some of you will be attending the Lagos carnival today and few others will be visiting "Galilee" to meet with "Jesus" or visit fun places while the remaining of us like me will be home eating chicken...LOL. Just enjoy yourself in whichever way that suits you.
 
   Yeeah...without westing (wasting) time,we'll be discussing PRIDE today and I'll express or explain to you what I perceive and think of the word PRIDE. I used to think PRIDE is only if anyone feels or thinks they are superior to somebody else or a particular set of people. But got a change of perception as I grew in understanding that even when you feel you are not up to someone's standard or think someone or a particular set of people are superior to you (Inferiority, we call it),it means you are also proud and not different from the person who is feeling,thinking or acting superior to you cos God created us all equal. A simple case study is the common saying among girls and I'm also guilty of this (I won't lie cos I do it too often...LOL),when you complement most Nigerian babes by saying "You are beautiful" the babe becomes so flattered that she doesn't know what to say and the next thing that comes out of her mouth is (*first she laughs* then will reply you with "you are not serious" or "I'm not beautiful o" or *who is beautiful? If you see beautiful girls,you will know I'm not beautiful *) does that mean you the BEHOLDER is blind? Is it not a popular saying that "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"? *I tire for most Naija babes o*Its simply inferiority complex which is also PRIDE and its bad. "What is bad is bad;it has no synonym" *Yoruba adage*.So,if you think you are inferior to someone or superior to somebody,you are PROUD and remember what the BIBLE speaks of the PROUD? It says and I quote "Pride goeth before a fall". Yes! Irrespective of your status...You might be rich and proud (Take heed lest ye fall) and If you are poor and feel inferior(pride) you will soon fall flat and finally.
  Be yourself and don't pretend to be what you are not. The Bible says the "humble in heart will be elevated" and that's the key to SUCCESS, HUMILITY.
Stay blessed!
 

LIGHT WILL SHINE AGAIN

    I was sent to you to bring you words of comfort to soothe your troubled and heavy heart. I have an unction from God because he's sent me to you to bring you words of hope.
It is you who is reading this piece he sent me to;So read carefully!
He said i should tell you that the darkness you are experiencing today is of him (God's will)
Light will shine again!
But come to think of it,have you realised that light cannot shine if there is no darkness?
Just the way God created the heavens and earth in the beginning. The bible recorded it that darkness covered the earth and the earth was NULL and VOID (you could imagine the thickness of the darkness then) and God said LET THERE BE LIGHT! And there was light. This means if there was no darkness,there would be no need for God to command light.
So,God knows where he is taking you to
It is a surety that after every dark night,there will always be a bright morning
Peeps,why don't you exercise a little more patience? Light will shine again!
For everything,there is a specific time and season.
Time to plant,time to water and time to harvest.
There are different types of fruits and each of them have their seasons.
Just the exact way we were created. God created each of us with different destinies,glories and we have different and speculated times of manifestation.
So,don't compare your life with that of someone else,
God has planned your life so perfectly. Why don't you be patient for the manifestation of his plan? Cos he makes all things beautiful in his time.
Before a woman births a child, she will first of all be pregnant with one for 9months.
Its backache today and headache tomorrow during pregnancy but when she is delivered of the child,she wears a beautiful and infectious smile.
His plans for you are of good and not of evil to give you an expected end.
So,in everything and circumstance of life,give thanks with an HOLY and HUMBLE HEART.
Don't forget that no matter how dark a night could be,a bright beautiful morning will always follow.
The night may be full of sorrow but believe me,Joy will come in the morning.
Cheers!!!

I'M BACK!!!

Morning peeps, how are you guys fairing? Bet you are balling hard?
I'm sorry I've not been around due to some inevitable responsibilities.
I'm back and better now.
Thanks for understanding
               HUGS AND KISSES

RHEMA FOR TODAY!!!

    Rhema means "Strong word from God"

  When life gives you LIMES, rearrange   the letters and SMILE. Today, receive the power to make that change in your life. You will make it!

God will not give you more than you can handle. If you face a big challenge, you have a big destiny

Sobriety can help you live a perfect life: being carefully, thoughtful and sensible. Cheers!

THE PURPLE LINEN!!!

Morning guys,its been a while. Sorry for not being consistent lately. Been very busy with a lotta things but I'm back here for you guys.
  Yeah! A friend sent this to me and I was inspired and saw it as necessary to bring it here.
       He said

   While inspecting his garden one day, a man saw a young butterfly struggling to come out of it's cocoon, he quickly picked up a stick and cracked d cocoon for the butterfly to come out. He set it free to fly and it actually flew but died after a few minutes. Unknown to the man, the struggle is part of the life cycle of a butterfly. While struggling to break out of the cocoon, the wings and other parts of it's body are strengthened. But since it was aided, it wasn't energised enough to survive.

Morale of the story: Before greatness comes challenges.
* Don't wait to be spoon-fed.
* Contrary winds are meant to drive your roots deeper.
* The bigger the challenge, the bigger your testimony.
* Don't wait for that person that will come n help you.
* And lastly,no PURPLE LINEN( which denotes Royalty) without a SACKCLOTH ( which denotes suffering, challenges and trials).
God is your source of strength. Stick to his word and have a great week folks.
From Collins

YOU WANNA MAKE HER SCREAM YESS!? TRY THIS

Morning beautiful people! Bet you guys had a fabulous night?.
  Errrrmmm.....*scratches head* what did I even want to say???...hmmm....OK,I feel some of you would have found it hard at one point or finding it hard presently to get a "YES" from a lady(like the mature ones will say,"I'm not a babe/a chick,I'm a lady" *side eyes*). Yes! They are ladies(that is if they know the meaning of the "lady" they call themselves...lol).     
  Well,the good news is I've brought u the best and unfailing lines you'll use in proposing to her and she won't be able to say NO cos you'll be amazed at the way you will hear her just scream "YES"!

The proposal speech(lol) goes thus >>>>

   My huge, happy hilarious heart, is
   tumbling tremendously,triumphantly
   with a lingering, lasting long live love
  for you.
  As I gaze into your bewildering.          beautious eyes and literally
 lonesomely lost in a dazzling delightful dream, in which your fair, felicitious, fanciful face, is ever present in a collocial, comprehensive  constellation.Will you be my sweet, smiley, soulful,satisfied spouse?

Just give her these lines and see if she won't scream YES!!!...and jump on you...hehehehe
     And did I forget to say this was the exact way ORAL ROBERTS proposed to his wife and she replied "Go and learn how to make simple sentences. When you do,you can come back to propose" LMAO!
Just try this kneeling with one knee and see if she won't give you a YES with tears in her eyes.....Thank me later *BBM talk to the hand* *doh*

I GIVE MYSELF AWAY

I give myself away.....so you can use me,
I give myself away *in William McDowell's voice*
Yaaaay!! weekend is here *dancing*..........
Sure you guys have a lotta plans for your weekend?*smiles*
Yeah! We are talking about the LION today, Yes the LION!
  "Do you know that the Lion didn't      campaign and wasn't voted for when it was made the king of the JUNGLE"?
  "Do you know it is not the biggest animal in the JUNGLE but is called the king of the JUNGLE"?
"Do you know that it is not the deadliest and most dangerous animal?(of course,there are more dangerous ones) but as soon as it surfaces,there is this fear on the face of any animal including humans that see it"
  "Another thing about them(LION's) is that they don't joke with their cubs(young lions)"
  They've got this unimaginable MECHANISM, BRAVERY and STRENGTH inside of them that no matter how big,large and huge that living thing is,the LION will face it(bravery) before it signals its other members if it sees it cannot conquer the prey alone.
  See,as humans, for us to be able to conquer any challenge or do anything in life,we have to first of all give ourselves to God(total giving). He is the LION of the tribe of Judah. Having a father who is a LION,what do u think you are? Do you think your father will leave you to face problems alone? He is the best confidant anyone can have,the most reliable shoulder anyone can lean on.
  The son of a LION is a LION and has the same characteristics as his father.
  But,you can't live the life of a LION or a KING on earth if you don't have God as your back up and he won't be there to back you up if you don't give yourself totally to HIM cos he doesn't go to where he wasn't invited.
Ponder!!!
Bless!

I'VE GOT A WORD FOR YOU

Its a beautiful Thursday morning here,
Too many things running thru my mind,
I've got many things to do but can't do them,
Not because I'm lazy but for factors I've got no power over.
People who brought me here have left me to myself *smiles*
Why am I not betrayed?
Well,there is time for everything cos "DELAY AIN'T DENIAL",
As anything that happens was meant to be for a specific REASON.
And that has been my consolation anytime I find myself thinking of things that have brought me down.
   I've come to realise in these few years of mine on earth that I need not think or ponder on things that have brought me down but dream and work towards the bright future ahead of me. There is this popular saying that "God won't give you a problem that's bigger than your faith". Since he'll be there with me to go thru hard times,"why should I fear"?
*sighs* this short piece might not be for you now but might work for you someday. Don't put your trust in man cos he won't stop being man.
  Trust God cos he is the one who remains faithful when everything fails. Don't lose hope when everything seems not to be working out. Of course,there is a reason for it not working out that time and don't forget that "He who watches over you doesn't sleep nor slumber". So,why are you depressed? Just commit all into his hands and do that which you ought to do and be happy. Don't forget if you kill yourself of unnecessary thinking,you won't be alive to enjoy what Christ has packaged for you.
  So,"suicide is not an option" and crying won't solve the problem. Just smile,laugh,dance,talk to God about it,eat,look beautiful and make yourself happy.
Cheers!!!

HOW TO SURVIVE QUICKSAND

While I was in MAPOLY one of the countless sad days of my life was hearing the news of some TACSFON exco members who got sucked up in a muddy death while on a prayer/Evangelism retreat. From what I heard the cause of this many death in just one day is the wrong answer to the right question. What can I do? The guy in the quicksand was panicking and trying to force his way out, his colleagues ask what can we do too and their answer was diving into the mud in an attempt to save a brother :'( , they all died!
God forbid but if you find yourself in this position you will survive if you can follow these guidelines.

1. The internet isn't just for social media and porn, when all is well check around for how to survive an incidence you read about, saw, or just thought up, this will help you answer the first question. "Now that it has happened, what can i do?"

2. Remove backpack, leave your heavy bag, remove heavy clothing. When it happens don't panic, panic makes you sink faster, and drains your strength, all it does is harm you so bone panic and ask yourself the golden question. "What can I do", proper following of step one will most probably help here.

3. If you find out the ground isn't firm under you gently walk close to a tree and stand on it's root to look around for firm ground.

4. If you've been sucked to the knee and you're alone, just begin to gently move one of your legs in a circular motion, this will generate some water to soften the ground, when you feel it's soft enough, pull gently, if you free a leg the other can be done in like manner.

5.If you are with some one, request for a thick rope, he holds one end and give you the other, ropes might not be readily available, but we can use a long strong stick too while victim is holding on, the lifesaver pulls  outside, if his strength can't do it, he can tie the rope to a tree urging the victim to tug at it and helping if victim gets tired.

6. When you've sunk to the waist, which shouldn't happen if you have've followed the steps above rightly, rest your back on the ground this will stop you from sinking further. As you lean back, gently try to bring your legs upwards. Be patient and do everything as if you are doing it in slow
motion. You’ve got all the time in the world here unless you act like you don’t
and move quickly; then your time on this
earth might be ending sooner rather than
later.

7. While doing all this pray, God listens.

Most people who die in quicksand do so
for only two reasons: number one, they
panic and thrash about causing them to
sink; number 2, they are afraid to move and stay there waiting for help that
never comes.
May God keep us all safe.

HEARTBREAKING: LETTER FROM MY BFF

See what Anti-Gay law has caused me now*crying*....my BFF(Best Friend Forever) sent me this and it left me sobbing>>>>>

Due to the new law banning same sex eelationships, please note that I shall no longer be able to do the following:

1. Address you as dearie, sweetie, my lovie, girlfriend mi, etc. These names may be misconstrued by some overzealous law enforcerment olopa. Henceforth, I shall address you by name....Esther,linda Bunmii, yemi etc

2. I shall no longer hug, blow kisses, hold hands, or engage in any body contact with you. If we're caught, the "evidence" would be worse than calling you pet names. Only handshakes and eyebrow wiggles are now allowed.
I shall also cease to send smileys like hearts, kisses, hugs. Do not send them to me either or I shall have to unfriend you to guarantee my continued freedom.

3. Dancing together at parties is now forbidden.
If you see me especially in public places, please refrain from excitedly waving at me. A Queen Elizabeth happiness-deficient wave will do. Anything else and I will summarily ignore you.

4. In the event that you want to proclaim your love for me, please do well to add the word "agape" at the end. Not adding this word will bring our wonderful friendship to a summary end. I'm saying this because, I LOVE YOU AGAPELY and do not want us in the women's section of Kirikiri Maximum.

5. It is now dangerous for us to share bathroom time. Please wait until I'm through or you can find somewhere else to have your bath.
Girls Night Out and sleepovers are hereon banned. Stay in your house so we can still have our liberty.
If you wish to visit me and I have no guest room, please bring along your mattress and room divider.

No more cash gifts; they may think I'm giving you money as a lover would.

I trust you will abide by these new resolutions. Fourteen years is a long time and I am not Mandela.
Thank you for cooperating. I love you agapely.

Your BFF.

This letter left me rolling on the floor....ROTFLMAO
