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...

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...
