Twitter Pressure Made Me... Nevermind

When my twitter people started talking about ‘when they see us’, I thought ‘they’ve started again oh’ but deep down, I really wanted to see the movie so I could relate to the gist I was seeing on my timeline. Unfortunately, I had canceled my Netflix subscription(I’m sure you have an idea why) so I couldn’t watch. I was lucky enough to get it from my neighbor who had it on her phone. I don’t know how long I cried for. I also learnt a lot of lessons and I mean, a lot. Those lessons inspired this article.

LESSON ONE
When a person does not like you or what you represent, they will do whatever it takes to bring you down. They will twist your image and make you appear evil to the world. They can have all the facts looking them in the face and still turn a blind eye. In times like that, only GOD can save you. This was evident in the way those investigators kept twisting the facts and manipulating those boys just to make things look the way they want. They didn’t even stop to think about the effect it could have on those kids.

LESSON TWO
Some people will love you no matter what the world says about you. They are able to relate to the problems you face because they’ve been in your shoes so they know what its like. The love the parents displayed for their kids was so strong nothing could come in between. The wrong allegations didn’t mean lessen the love they had for their kids. Sometimes, when the world is against you, all you need is just one person to love you, stay by you and not judge you. It might just be what you need to hang in there.

LESSON THREE
You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option. The last guy Wise, who found himself in the situation when he wasn’t even a suspect. Unfortunately for him, he suffered the most and even did more time in prison than the actual suspects. How he survived was a miracle but he did.

When the truth came out, they were all exonerated of the crimes and the prison records were wiped. They also got compensated financially for it. The reward they got couldn’t have wiped off all the suffering they went through and time wasted.

Lovely article!
It is not enough to be the only one on this earth and fight the battle of life alone, you need people to lean upon and your nuggets to rely on.
So pitiful for the kids!
Well done Sis 💞

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...
