Death; The Theory You Want To Read by Celestine Atufu

The whole concept of death is crazy. Its really hard knowing what its like since most of us haven’t ever been there after all I'm writing for the living not even like we want to find out because you know what that means right? Most times people who are suicidal are considered cowards infact that’s kind of a stereotype but I'm here thinking about if its possible that some of them were carried out as a result of curiosity you know, trying to know what its all about and what lies at the other end of the line? Just a pity they didn’t have a laid down plan of reaching out to us you know like a feedback. Even those who claim to have almost been there can't claim to have a full knowledge of it. There's a reason why you came back to life infact you didn’t die in the first place.

Almost is nothing, its just like the case of a blind man, do you know how difficult that is? Waking up every morning to the fact that he is blind? I bet at some point they get confused as to whether they're dead or not. Just Imagine a person losing his sight for the first time and after screaming I can't see and say there was no one there to talk back to him. Do you think he just harbours that thought for a split second as to inquiring if he's still alive? I for one don’t think we seize to exist once death happens, I'm beginning to think we come back, we get like recycled, we come back as babies or something. I know its funny but think about it. How can someone just seize to exist I mean every single one of us makes this life about ourselves, I for one think every other person here exists because of me somehow.

If I say lets see life as a movie I'm the lead actor, or sorry I'm the star of the movie. So maybe if someone's life ends in the movie they're gonna make another one right? And I believe he's gonna star in that one in some capacity, I'm with the school of thought that believes the one who dies lives forever. Perhaps they get to read this piece if my assumptions are correct. It’s a good thing I was able to continue this write up after taking a break, and reading through I noticed how I have been using he all through let me please say again I'm not sexist it was maybe done so I don’t forget all of the other ideas I was having when I started writing and since it has come to my notice I should put that in order, as you know I have to deal with corrections also while trying not to forget but I should probably ignore that as its gonna be edited before being posted.
You should notice I contradicted myself at some point and I won't even point it out because I leave it to you to notice and I'm not even going to change anything because it just goes to show the complexity of this whole subject matter. One of my good friend always says to me how he dreads the idea of death and he even takes out time to write about it, you know short poems and all, but then I didn’t think of it that way I never gave a thought to the concept of death and here I am writing about it, perhaps I'm also beginning to dread the idea? He would always say then how would someone just die and go just like that seize to exist? At this point of my life after giving a real thought to it and seeing how it also doesn’t add up I decided to write something about it, but let me repeat I'm not afraid of death as I'm a Christian and you know what the scripture says about it. Yeah right, like my friend isn’t a Christian too.  For the living know that they would die but the dead know nothing. Lazarus didn’t share anything after he was raised from the dead, it is said that the bible compares death to sleep more than fifty times, wow those who love sleep must be licking their lips, Lol.

So lets just relax and get ready when its time for some long crashing and to my muslim brothers I'm sure the Quran should be similar to this eh.The Lord is the resurrection and the life whoever believes in him though he dies shall live again.

So I guess I can say Merry Christmas now since we'd be meeting next monday and Christmas is just some hours away. I hope you have a splendid christmas celebration and please if you're turning up somewhere for christmas, let me tag along because I have no plan yet *tear*. *cleans tear*, Merry Christmas once again and remember, I love you for reading.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
