...And She Had To Die

This is really sad and it’s not just sad because someone decided to take her own life, what makes it sad is the reason behind it. There’s no justification for taking your own life, I wrote about this extensively in an article titled suicide a while back but I’d write some more here, people commit suicide for a lot of reasons ranging from debt to depression and a million other reasons that make people almost pity them and understand why they did it. You’re still going to die anyway so why die now? I mean, even if you want to die now, must you do it yourself? Life is not a bed of roses, we all know that but the challenges we face in life should motivate us to work hard towards achieving the kind of life we desire. That’s for those who feel like ending their lives out of frustration from too many things going wrong in their live unlike the person who inspired this write up. I could say rest in peace but that’s up to God to make that happen. The lady (less than 23 years old) who inspired this post committed suicide because her favorite actor died in a series that she has been a huge fan of. So what? Someone hanged himself in a movie and he’s your favorite actor, that’s why you will commit suicide in real life, just because you can’t bear to watch the series without him. Why not drop the series and get another one to get addicted to, must you watch that particular one? That’s how a young life has been cut short, for a reason I dare to consider very stupid. It’s so annoying right now, I don’t know if anyone else feels this way about this but haba!


Stay alive by all means. Live life, make impacts, make money, have fun, eat good, serve God, fall in love, travel, build relationships, I mean? Whatever works, as long as it’s positive, just stay alive. Nobody is worth dying for, no movie, no music, no challenge is worth it, as far as I’m concerned. The actor she died for is somewhere chilling and pursuing his career, making his dreams come true, making money, making love, whatever works for him while she’s nothing but DEAD. If she didn’t leave a suicide note, I’m quite certain that no one would have guessed the reason behind her death. When they said, find what you love and let it kill you, this wasn’t the message it was trying to disseminate. It didn’t even mean actual death, it just meant you should follow it to the latter. If watching series is what you love doing, please, please and please, don’t let it kill you. Don’t die while you’re at it. I love you and I need you alive, somebody needs you, you were created for a purpose, a unique purpose and you don’t want to die without fulfilling that purpose. Even if you’ll fulfilled that purpose, you still don’t want to die, you want to live happily knowing that you’ve achieved your purpose for living, you’re living the dream. Stay alive, only the tough gets going when the going gets tough.


Live, Love, Laugh!

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Life after Death...real or not?

Life after death....hmmmm      I know we've all heard or read stories about people who lived after they died.      I'm not talking about reincarnation this time, I'm talking about people who were confirmed dead but were still recognised elsewhere alive, hale and hearty.      Okay, there was this lady who resided close to my house diagnosed with tuberculosis or something related because she was drying up real bad, might have been Hiv too (just saying), she usually patronised my shop where soft drinks and snacks were sold. She usually bought only pepsi or 7up, as the spirit led her I guess.      I was very young then and observant too as always so one day she came as usual, bought 7up and left. Not long after she left, I heard that she had died the previous day.      I wondered how someone could be dead and still buy her usual the next day, I thought it was a strange thing so I never told anyone.   ...

My End Of The Year Note

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we? I'm very fine and I can smell 2016 already afterall it's just some hours from now so I guess I'd just use this medium to say merry Christmas in arrears and happy new year in advance. I hope we all "shouted out" to our uncles and aunties, class teachers, lol, don't mind me. I'm sure we remember those Christmas funfairs where kids shout out to their loved ones where some even cry while talking, it's very hilarious watching them. Okay, now to the reason we're here. This year wasn't so bad for me though it didn't start so well but I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to share them with you. Let's start with the negatives so the story can have a good ending. For about half of the year, I was jobless which means I was frustrated, broke, you know the drill. Recently too, I lost my school's Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Esther Tchokatcheu who played a very important role in the process of my being a gr...
