The Life We Have

Some people would never miss a meal if they’re not too busy to eat Some people would never go anywhere via public transport Some people would never have less than a hundred thousand in their bank accounts Some people would never be beaten by the rain Some people would never experience any form of traffic jam Some people would never sleep in heat except they decide to Some people would never buy cheap stuff But…………………… We would all walk under the same sky and be beaten by the same sun We would all be heartbroken at some point We would all lose appetite at some point We would all cry at some point We would all love at some point We would all die at some point We would all lose something at some point This might not be the life you desire But…………………. You’re still living, You’re still breathing You would not be able to own the past but you can own the future The future is not in one, two, three or more years The future is here The future is now We were created dif...

Pastor Adeboye Or God, Who Should We Listen To?

Two days ago, Nigerian twitter was on fire as a result of Pastor E.A. Adeboye's thoughts regarding relationships and some other rules he made for ministers. If you didn't hear or read anything about it, let me give you a brief introduction of some of the things he said that caused a lot of arguments on the internet. He urged ladies not to marry a man who doesn't work because such man intends to live off them. For guys, he urged them not to marry any lady that can't cook, pray or do house chores for at least one hour. He also urged RCCG members to choose a partner within RCCG not outside the church. He told his ministers to be clean shaven as he didn't want anyone of them looking like a member of al-qaeda. Now that you have an idea of what he said, let's move on to why we're here today. "...looking up to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith" is a verse in the bible. This verse talked about looking up to JESUS, he didn't mention Adeboye...

Front Or Back; Does It Matter?

Ladies, if your boyfriend/spouse’s female friend was sitting at the front seat of his car and he comes to pick you up somewhere, would you go to the back seat to sit or would you rather the female moved to the back seat while you assumed your front seat position where you ‘belong’? This question went viral some time ago and I’m pretty sure that the poster below put all of these into consideration when her male friend decided to pick her up before he picked up his girlfriend. She was very aware of this so she sat in the back only for her to experience what she recounted via social media below; Personally though, I don’t like any form of violence no matter the reason, yes, maybe the slaps did a hard reset on her brain according to what someone said but there are many other things he could have done that would have the same effect. He could have just dropped her there and then and left her to take a cab or something. The girlfriend over reacted obviously. I still don’t understand som...

Why University Changes People

So I read a story on naira-land about a girl who turned from good to bad upon gaining admission into the University and I thought I should do this. I’m sure we would agree with me that the University is an eye opener for many and in some cases, opens their eye negatively, especially when they decide to see everything that throws itself at them. This is not restricted to gender, girls turn bad, boys turn bad as well. Are we saying we should no longer send our kids to the University or anywhere far away from us to prevent them from following this trend, to stop them from joining ‘bad gang’? I’m almost certain that we’ve seen people who changed totally from good to bad as soon as they entered the University, we even have some as friends, or maybe some of us are even examples, who knows? But then, if we don’t do something about it, we will keep seeing them and not only in outsiders, we would see them in our own siblings, and children. So what is the answer to this ‘thing’ freedom is doi...

Depression by Amaka Obasi

I stared at this "blank space" for about 15 seconds, wondering what to write, wondering if I even know enough to try to educate others. But eh, I guess I have to try, right? What do we know about depression? What is depression??? Two heavy questions I asked myself time and time and then some more time again. Depression is a state of mind producing serious, long-term lowering of enjoyment of life or inability to visualize a happy future. Simply put, it's a period of unhappiness which can last longer than several weeks and may include ideation of self-inflicted injury or worse...SUICIDE. Writing this, I travel back to my many months of depression, Oh it lasted that long. It was a very, very dark time for me and God how I wanted to come out of it! I couldn't laugh, if I did it was fake, I would lie down and stare blankly while contemplating various harmful things, I wanted to self-destruct etc. I'm a good actress; I did an excellent job at hiding it. I'd pa...

Breastfeeding An Eight Year Old, Normal or Nah?

Toh! When some mothers breastfeed their children for six months and even less, someone is breastfeeding a full grown child for eight years and it’s still counting since she hasn’t stopped yet. I remember vising Shiloh many years ago with my mum and siblings, I saw a woman breastfeeding a child almost as tall as I was and I found it really strange but I figured he likely had a spiritual issue and that was why his mum brought him for deliverance or something. I still believed my own theory until I read this. That a woman would purposely be breastfeeding her child for as long as eight years just because it’s done like that in the UK and neglecting her husband in the process. Read story below as narrated by her husband on Joro Olumofin's platform. Now that you’ve read it, what do you think?

Cheating And Proud!

Okay, Okay, Okay. Here is a man proud of the kind of person he is, and of course why shouldn’t he be? In this instagram-inspired post, I see a wife who saw all these before he marriage and still stayed. Maybe she thought he would change or get tired of cheating. The truth is, if his father or mother or anyone who raised him couldn’t change him, his friends couldn’t change him, even his past girlfriends couldn’t change him, who are you that you believe you can make that kind of miracle happen? I don’t understand how some people go ahead to get married to people who have flaws they can’t deal with.e.g. marrying a gay guy, a junkie, an alcoholic, a serial cheat, bla bla. According to the story below, his wife was aware and she went ahead to marry him. Now, she can’t deal with it. The man on the other hand doesn’t sound like someone that wants to change anytime soon. If you want to marry another wife because you’re a muslim, go ahead but cheating in the name of being a muslim, haba!. Well,...
