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!
