Looking The Part

Being rich is relative, the person you think is rich is seeing another person as rich who's also seeing another person as rich and so on. I'm not even talking about being rich in your heart, wisdom or beauty; I'm talking about money rich. It's hard to tell the source of income of a lot of people especially when they seem to be getting more than they work for. We still wish somehow to have what they have. Basically, the difference between a rich and poor man apart from their mentality is the money. Not everyone has "obvious" money but they are sometimes perceived as rich, someone like me *pops collar*. So what if you don't have the money, how do you carry yourself to almost fit the 'rich' profile without spending the money?

Dress well; It all starts from your looks, bend down boutiques are still very much in business so patronize them according to your pocket and make good choices. Looking good doesn’t have to be expensive. Besides, these people you see as rich shop from the BB boutiques too so what are you waiting for?


Don’t freak out when you see ‘richies’ (wealth associated things, places or people); When you see celebrities, don’t tear your shirt, calm down, they’re human too. I remember my Pastor telling us about one guy who prostrated for a jeep because its ‘big man’ car. No, don’t do that, just keep your calm.

Tell people your money is budgeted instead of saying you're broke; You don’t want to be that person who’s always broke but we all get to be broke sometime just that someone’s ‘broke-ness’ might be another person's ‘too much money’. My point, you can’t help being broke but don’t announce it all the time, just say your money is budgeted for something else instead.

Don’t explain why you like cheap stuff; I’ve come to realize that expensive stuffs aren’t necessarily quality so if you feel this way too, it’s very normal but don’t explain yourself. As long as you’re satisfied with the product or service, that’s all you need.

Mind your business; Nobody really progresses by putting their noses in other people’s businesses so just face your life, be conscious of other happenings around you but don’t let it bother you. Yes, minding your business is very sexy, that’s the way to go if you’re not on that path yet.

Socialize; This is something I personally need to work on. Meet people, know people, make friends, connections et al. Keep in touch once in a while with the people in your life. See yourself as important and carry yourself as such wherever you are. You might get to be friends with ‘rich’ people and maybe be really as rich or be mistaken as one.

Save money; I cannot overemphasize the extent to which this act will go in your life. Besides, you don’t save money by spending money except if you’re using it to run a business or invest in something.

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...
