    The very first time I was sexually harassed was when I was ten years old, I'd just entered into JSS 1 then. We lived in a compound with a vast land and I adored the house. I had a habit of bathing in the yard and I preferred this to bathing in the bathroom. I guess it was the "airy feeling" I got from bathing outside.      Now, if you have met me (or at least seen my pictures clearly) you'd know I'm what you call "packing at the front" lol. My breasts were already growing but I was too innocent to really take notice. I remember how my mom would scream down the earth whenever she saw me (I always did this when I felt she wasn't looking). Naturally, I felt secure and safe doing this because I thought no one was even looking at me, I mean I was only Ten for pete's sake! Apparently I was very wrong with a capital "W".      We had a neighbor who had just moved in. He was Igbo and naturally, my mom and dad got close to him. We found ...

     We all think Boko Haram is a terrorist group but that's only one way to look at it. One man's meat is another man's poison or better still let me say, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I have no reason to support Boko Haram but let's analyze, shall we?     I don't know exactly when Boko Haram started their operations because frankly I'm not a big fan of them and their operations. I hate violence but then I believe that if it should be used as a means to achieving anything at all, it should be the last resort.      What I know about terrorists is that they want their voices to be heard and how can it be heard? It's through the public stunts they pull which include bombing of random places, kidnapping random children and all sorts. They're more direct sometimes in their approach by for instance, kidnapping one of the relatives of a prominent individual in the society say a politician just to make sure whoever they...

Life after death....hmmmm      I know we've all heard or read stories about people who lived after they died.      I'm not talking about reincarnation this time, I'm talking about people who were confirmed dead but were still recognised elsewhere alive, hale and hearty.      Okay, there was this lady who resided close to my house diagnosed with tuberculosis or something related because she was drying up real bad, might have been Hiv too (just saying), she usually patronised my shop where soft drinks and snacks were sold. She usually bought only pepsi or 7up, as the spirit led her I guess.      I was very young then and observant too as always so one day she came as usual, bought 7up and left. Not long after she left, I heard that she had died the previous day.      I wondered how someone could be dead and still buy her usual the next day, I thought it was a strange thing so I never told anyone.   ...

You think it's okay to not pay attention to little things? You think it's okay to be insensitive enough to let her cry on someone else's shoulder? You think it's okay to allow him confide in his other female friend? You think it's okay to ignore the one who's giving you attention for the one who's not? You think it's okay to put yourself first all the time? You think it's okay to think about benefits all the time? You think it's okay to be mean to people that are nothing but nice to you? You think it's okay to have a lackadaisical attitude towards important things? You think it's okay to not appreciate favors no matter how little? You think it's okay to compare yourself to others when your story is obviously different? You think it's okay to not make sacrifices when necessary? You think it's okay to lose hope while you're still breathing? You think it's okay to not take God seriously? You think it's ...

     Having gone through the four temperaments, I'm sure you must have found where you belong. It's however very possible to have a combination of two or more temperaments but there'll be a dominant one. You can be a strong melancholic and a light phlegmatic, strong sanguine and a light choleric, and so on. For instance, you can be a phlegmel, melsan, sanchol, cholmel, etc.      I hope we've learnt from this and not only found out our temperaments but also that of our friends and families. I hope it helps us in building relationships and know how to deal with people better than we are right now. Merci beaucoup. Facebook - Odusola Aanuoluwapo Twitter - @odusolar BBM - 2ACA8612

     My name is Phlegmatic. I'm a submissive introvert who lives to please others. I never think or act like I'm I'm better than others. I love peace so I try to avoid conflicts at all costs. I am well behaved and strictly adhere to laid down rules and regulation. I put others first and I can sacrifice my happiness for that of others. I find it difficult to say no and end up doing things I don't like just to make others happy.      I am very empathetic, trustworthy too. I blame myself even for others' mistakes just to make others feel better. I'm more supportive than critical and I seldom use offensive words. I like others making decisions for me because I'm very indecisive. I'm a natural follower and I'm good at it as I do not see myself leading. I'd rather do nothing than do the wrong thing. My pain is easily changed by others. I am introverted and enjoy time alone, I don't judge others and also do not strive for perfection.     I en...

     My name is Melancholic. I'm a perfectionist and emotionally sensitive. I like my things being in a particular pattern and hate when it doesn't follow the pattern. I hold myself and others in extremely high standards and I hate when my standards are not met. I'm always willing to learn and understand, I'm keen on knowing every little detail about anything because for me, to be ignorant is to stray from perfection. I'm very inquisitive and I ask specific questions to gain more understanding which sometimes leads to over analytical worries. I am very stubborn because I try hard to stick to my own carefully considered views and standards of perfection and I'm not easily shifted from this path. I do not go with the flow.      I am very pessimistic, and assume the worst due to my sometimes unrealistic standards. I think and plan before taking any action and I never resort to rash behaviours if I can't plan properly. It's easier for me to hate and rejec...
