Yemi

I'm sure a lot of people remember you in a lot of ways, But this is how I remember you; I remember when we first met I was a first timer at your church which has been my church till date You welcomed me specially with a genuine smile and asked if I would come for Wednesday service, I said I wasn't sure. I almost forgot about you until you called on Tuesday to remind me about the Wednesday service I had to ask who it was I was speaking to, then you said "Yemi" so I remembered. I was glad you called, that was when I decided I was going to keep coming because of you, just you. I didn't plan to be friends because you had your own clique and I wasn't down for some girl drama and I don't regret it. I just admired you from a distance, you weren't particularly beautiful or sexy but you had the most beautiful personality I've seen. I never saw you frown, you never even kept a straight face, you were always cheerful You had a great voice and you

Poverty and Nigeria

Why are people poor? Is it because they don't work hard enough? Or because they have a "badhead"? Or because they have poverty mentality and it's affecting their physical lives? I could ask on and it still won't make any difference. When I mean poor, I'm not talking about people who can't afford private universities, I mean, if you can afford any university at all, you're still somewhere. I'm talking about those people that can't even afford to live in a decent home, I'm sure you know or must have heard of a family of 10 living in one room. Is it because they're not enlightened because if they were, they probably wouldn't have had a large family, just saying though. How about those without large families that still can't afford the basic necessities of life? Is it because they're not hard-working or perhaps they're not educated enough to get a decent job that'll pay them enough to feed their families? Wh

The Worst Offer Ever!!!

Soo I've been eyeing this school for a while, Looked beautiful I wonder how much their teachers are being paid, I kept saying to myself As the end of my national youth service drew close, It's better I start my job search now o, no time So one day, I took the bold step "Application to be a French Teacher", I wrote, as I'm french-inclined Not a pro though but how much french would the children need to know Definitely something I can teach I also heard french was "hotcake" Bla bla bla So I took the application to this school I considered big and very beautiful. Fortunately for me, the proprietress was around maybe because it was a Friday, it's all good though She told me to wait in the lobby, that I would be attended to in a bit because she was with other people. It was about 9am at the time of my arrival. So there I sat, waiting to be called upon. It clocked 10am, I decided to go check on her. She was still busy with other people,

Friends

Yea yea, I know what you're thinking You're probably remembering some of your friends, The good ones and the not-so-good ones But believe me, You're not alone in this We all have them The super amazing ones who do little or no wrong, The ones who have your back even in your absence The ones who'll protect your interest at any time necessary The ones who help out without you asking for it The ones who can give you their last dime We also have the not-so-good ones The ones who see you as a competition instead of an inspiration The ones who'll constantly tell others about your shortcomings The ones who only have you as friends for what they stand to gain The list is endless Whichever you own the most, one thing is key, Be the kind of friend you want to have No matter how hard it is or how experiences influences your behavior towards others, just remember; You only get what you give so give good and vice-versa.

Love Gone

He reached for her, She turned her back, He tried harder, She walked away. That's when he realised, He had lost her. With his head in his palm, He kept thinking about it. As he pondered on, He remembered the first time they met.... On the 57th Street, They bumped into each other, That's when he decided to ask her for directions as he was quite lost. While speaking to her, He looked into her eyes and saw how beautiful they were, Sparking like a torch in the dark, Illuminating everywhere, He couldn't even hear the words she was saying, He just kept staring at her beautiful face especially the eyes, Her slight tap on his hand jolted him back to reality and then, he was convinced that she was "the one" Two years and counting, It's been the best time of his life, Her care, love and understanding was next to none, She was charming beyond words, Her playfulness was like that of a child who had no worries. They were so happy until... Until.

Get The Message

It's hot, we want cold, It's cold, we want hot, We have slim, we prefer chubby, We have chubby, we prefer slim, I could go on and on and on and on, But sometimes, we have to look beyond the physical, Look beyond appearance, It's even better if we can be indifferent sometimes. It helps widen our horizon, Helps us think out of the box, There's always a message. Either negative or positive. We should always look out for the message. Life is speaking to us through these things. We should open our hearts in order to listen to the message it's trying to pass across, We should try not to miss the message, It could just be the key we're looking for.

The Dream

So I dreamt last night, A friend of mine and my dad had something together (if you know what I mean). I'm still perplexed. Though it was a dream, I keep wondering if there are chances that it might happen, The fact that my dreams usually become reality is another factor that keeps me wondering and wondering, But oh well, there's little or nothing I can do about it. I can only hope it never comes true. Facebook - Odusola Aanuoluwapo Twitter - @odusolar BBM - 2ACA8612

Loved yet Unloved

I remember when I came into this family, I chose them, they didn't choose me. Daddy said no, I'm going to be a threat to his fowls. The eldest son took me as his own and after a while I was accepted by every other member of the family except daddy, He threatened to throw me out but the eldest son put me in a safe place all in a bid to keep me, little did I know that it wasn't as good as it looked. I'm in that safe place without constant food or water, some times, I don't eat or drink for days. I remain unnamed because my Savior, the eldest son still hasn't found a name for me, This is my plight, help me! I remain unnamed, I am a dog.

To You

It's been four days and some hours and we've not said hi to each other, you're probably shaking your head now because I'm just stating the obvious. I don't wanna call it boredom because that's not what it is but let's just say I'm not used to this. This game, this fight, this malice, this pride, this... whatever you wanna call it. So far, I must commend us, we've done a great job by surviving without any form of communication and I must say, it says a lot about us but that's not why I'm here. Lol, I know you're wondering already, why is she now here abi what's all this. Don't mind me, this is just me fooling around. Not pushing blames but I think you don't like making the first move in times like this, I'm speaking out of experience. Well it's ok to be all chilled and wait for your partner to do the whole mind bearing, what's not okay is allowing whatever lies within you die slowly without letting the other p
