Some ''I Do'' Reasons

Some of us want to get married someday for different reasons. Some seem logical while some do not; it’s all about our perspective. Long story short, of all the one million reasons to get married, which would inspire you or rather, will be the reason behind your getting married?

For love; A lot of us want this until we find out that love can’t pay bills. Lol, I’m kidding. No, not really. But yes, this happens and this is definitely why I’m getting married because they say love conquers all (I heard you say ‘’if I hear’’).

For money; It’s better to cry in a Lamborghini than be trekking thinking about your life. For this reason, a lot will rather go for #teammoney than #teamlove because ‘’who love epp?’’ Didn’t the Bible even say even say that money answereth all things?

For connections; Connection is more important than money, so I heard. We want to make or keep that connection no matter what it takes so if I have to marry Dangote’s son to get some kind of connection, no wahala (apologies to the boyfriend, just kidding). It’s the same reason make their kids marry kids of the equally rich, to keep the connections alive.

For gratitude; Some people will be so good to you that you’ll feel marrying them is the only way to appreciate their kindness.

For pity; Because someone says they can’t live without you doesn’t mean you should be with them anyway when the relationship doesn’t seem to be working. In some cases, the person might have an ailment and you feel leaving them won’t be fair so you stick with them regardless.

For respect; When someone you really respect e.g. parent, guardian, religious leader or sponsor chooses for you, you act like you don’t mind because you feel they can’t choose wrong for you. Well, good luck with that.

For legal sex; Because you no longer want to have sex outside wedlock, you conclude that getting married for that purpose is the best. You’ll need a lot of good luck when you find out that it’s not all about the sex.

All of the above reasons isn’t exactly the right or wrong reason to get married like I mentioned earlier, its what you want that matters. In the end, just do the right thing because you’ll be the one to suffer or enjoy the fruits of your decision. Sadly, you might not be the only one.

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...
