...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!

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...
