From The Back Of My Mind...

There are certain things we need to realize as inhabitants of this part of the world. You may know it already but for the sake of those who don’t, I’m going to state them;

People still get jobs without connection;

This is very true, scarce but true. You don’t always have to know someone to get it but if you know someone, please take advantage because it might take long before you get it on merit.

Imitation can put you in trouble;

So they say imitation is limitation, bla bla but there’s more to it than just being limited. Have you noticed how people who do bad stuff don’t get caught until someone just decides to try it once for the first time gets caught and you wonder how that happens? Some people are just lucky with not being caught but the day you decide to try it, jhgjhfghdsjg happens. So before you do that thing because Mr. XYZ does it, consider the kind of trouble you might get into if you get caught.

Good things/people/places are underrated;

It’s very amazing sometimes to see great talents, places and things not even known by many and you’re wondering how? A lot of people also do not take their health, education or their youth seriously and it usually turns out that the price they pay for not taking those things seriously is usually way higher than the attention they ought to have accorded whatever. People also take relationships for granted (story for another day) thinking that people would always be there for them, then life happens and they start wishing they did more for the people they had in their lives.

You’ll either get a yes or a no in life, there’s no in-between;

If you don’t get a yes, you’d definitely get a no and sometimes, YESes turn into NOs and NOs turn into YESes. There’s no point in being scared to plunge into certain things, apply for what our heart desires, or make that friend request known because we’re scared to get a no. A ‘no’ is not the worst thing that can happen to you, the worst thing is when you don’t even try. For almost every yes, there is a no so don’t beat yourself up when you’re the one getting the no. You should rather learn to deal with rejection and like they say - hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

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...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography) about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
