There’s an ongoing feud between a
lady and a popular blogger on social media on rape and beg antics of present
day Nigerian young men. Many ladies, if not too many actually are victims of
this game and the blame shifts back to them for being too trusting. How do you
explain willingly spending time with a man behind closed door on the promise it
is to a platonic time indoors?
Tradition is the rich heritage of
people of different colour and tribe and the root of identification. Therefore,
if you ever feel the need to shun tradition, do it to give people a chance to
live, to have an identity, to make it richer and make one’s existence worthy like the end to
killings of twins. Not shun tradition that’ll leave you with no root or
identity.
Love is never wrong we only love
the wrong person. Sex incapacitate one from accepting the truth. Rather, excuses are made to cover up the excesses. And love is often confused with sexual desires 2 Samuel 33
Have you ever seen a foolish man prospering?
Take note; I didn’t say becoming rich but being prosperous. Because there’s a
difference between being rich and prosperous. Riches is the acquisition and
hurdling of substances while prosperity is the acquisition and spread of
substances “Proverbs 11: 24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty”.
If you have to kiss me, I have just
one request, be pure. This I asked for your sake and not mine. The intent in
which individuals exchange a kiss will determine the emotions it’ll evoke and
the result it’ll yield. The fact someone kissed you doesn’t mean there’s a love
lost between you two. Judas can tell the best story of that in Mark 14:45 and
worst of it in Matthew 27:3-5.
Hey!Have you ever been strongly attracted to
someone that all you can think of is how it’ll feel to get tangled with the
sheets on the bed? If yes, I’ve got this to tell you “don’t act out the
attraction” and this is my ‘why’ you shouldn’t play out your imagination.
There has to be a down pouring for
there to be an uprising. Take a look at the plants, without the downpour of
rain in months, they’re dead. So is the life of a man, who thinks he/she has
got it all together without having God look down on or after him/her. Too many
times we fail because our confidence has been built on what we know we are
capable of getting done. And too many times we succeed when our confidence is
built on “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians
4:13” Take note, your down pour and the sustainer of your growth comes from who
or what you depend on.
A beautiful coat, when worn easily covers up what
lies beneath. Until the coat is taken off, one cannot tell if what is underneath
is as beautiful as the coat. Some people need to take off their fur coat,
let’s get to know them.
Over the years, I’ve observed from the
movies, prints and non-prints media circulation that; the black men have
something against the black women and the black women in turn have something
against the black men. Hence, the better choice of having a white man or woman as
a partner (wife or husband) or no one at all as some have vowed.
The need to address psychological issues/emotional
instability (depression, substance abuse, personality disorder, phobia etc) has become a focal point in determining individuals’ wellbeing
because the world is evolving and people psychic is changing. There was a time
in this country when psychological issues were the least of our worries because
we believe we are very tough that even when we are made to suffer we still
could hold our smile (suffering and smiling); our skin so thick, when scrapped against or on a
rough edge, there will be no scratch. But “time changes yesterday” have become
the present predicament of the people.
What if someone told us that everything we ever knew was a lie. What if we
discover that the sky was never blue and the grasses were never green, that square is circle, that
purple wasn't made for kings and gold was never even a word. I can only imagine
the shock on our faces if we discovered that what we call white was black and
black was white. What if?
We live in a
society today where men's comfort is dependent on the acceptability that women
are to help shoulder their responsibilities. It doesn't matter if the shoulders
are wide enough or well muscled to handle this. However, that won’t be a big deal if some man
hadn’t added the role of his woman been a punching bag to show how manly he is.
Afterall, the bags in the gym feel no pain.
It is not about what you have but what you do
with what you have. The cassava stem that produces one or smalltuber of cassava and the one that produces
big and more than one tuber during harvest were planted in the same farm,
received the same care and had access to same soil nutrient. Could it have been
like the way some homes were when growing up, one gets to eat together
with other siblings, you must learn to eat fast, be watchful and turn your
mouth to cooling van when food is hot or you’d be left unsatisfied.
Some things you can’t turn away from yet got
no words/way to caption, quantify or qualify them. Here is a random photo
and story to wrought some of your thoughts - jolly, skeptic ones or otherwise.
It is all your choice. Let us start with the strory.
Dear Agofure motors and others within Sapele town, Delta State: The deafening public announcement/music that blast through your address system early hours of the morning is creating unrest in the minds of people and injuries to the ears.
The ticking of the clock indicates the world
still goes round in the usual gradual process. How? A tick makes a second, more
gives minutes that makes up the hours, days, weeks, months and years. It all
begins with a tick. So are the seeds in one’s hands that need to be sown and
let to germinate and grow into a tree/plant to bear fruits which can then be
harvested. First thing first, sow the seed; it is never about the small size.
I normally don’t do this but that doesn’t mean
there won’t be exceptions like this one, especially when no one is asking. Recently, a terrible incident occurred in a football
viewing centre in Calabar during Manchester United and Anderlecht
match . As usual social media users and media outlets helped in making the
whole world become aware of the sad incident that killed over 30 viewers when a
high tension cable fell on a viewing centre. Manchester United acknowledged the incident with a tweet and also sent their condolences to the family of the bereaved.
This evening let’s look at some unconventional
and relational definitions of foolishness from happenings around me. As much as I try to understand
people from their point of views, sometimes I wonder the sensibility in some of
the things they or I do, hence, this journey tonight.Please pardon me for the choice of word, I
just couldn’t find a better way to drive home my point. So, let’s define...
My old schoolmate shared photos of her aged grandparents that wowed me with these words “Today, my people crush are my grandparents. They have grown
old in grace, in health and in joy. I'm grateful to God for them. Look how
happy they are. Meet Papa Oroshegbo 1 and Mama D Ma. My grandpa is actually the oldest man in the village, and
my smile came from Mama.”
A man’s prayer is
always the lifting from ‘grass to grace’ never the other way round. This naturally,
has made and is making too many Christian retarded in their thinking and lazy to
work. The grass has got its benefits too. Don’t forget, it is food for animals.
And I’ve been taught the animals (ruminant) that feed on grass have a very special
way of eating; the habit of not completely chewing the food but rather partially
break it down and swallow and after a while, they settle down to chew (chewing
the cud) before letting it back into the stomach for digestion.
Three things come into play when it comes to relationship with individuals(opposite sex) and the one they share with God. Now, someone may think why not love before sex? Well, not in this present generation because they have failed to realize love and sex are not equivalent.
It is official, the world we live in today, strange has got no limit/bound. Hopefully, the world won't go insane too! Well, what can we expect when 'attention/notice me' has become the most essential commodity. Anyone can choose to lose his or her sanity if it is to atleast get them to show others what it takes to be crasy.
We live in
a world, where sex has become the foundation for most relationships today. The trend is; ‘have sex, get pregnant and get
married’.Of course we do know that isn’t
God’s intention for his unmarried children Hebrews 13:4 but modernization has
set a new pace for the race of life which only those that subject themselves to
grace can trace their way out.
Be kind to click here to read the first article on the ill trick. The vicarious activities of self benefits is gradually leading to the dismissal of unity in the various nations of the world. If I can't get something from it on a personal level it is not meant to be my fight.
Words of Steve Ziza Azuka:Between ignorance and confusion I will always choose ignorance any day! Why? Because I have understood that confusion is an exalted state of ignorance masqueraded as the inability to make a choice!!
When men rage cannot be caged, a stage will be set for an outrage. The question is; should such a page be opened in this age where technology has given man advantage to better the existence of being?
Previously on A Piece for my Heart's Peace click here. Sometime ago, an upcoming secular music artist faked his death so that his fame could spread within the nation and probably abroad/promote his songs. And I wondered what act of madness could that be? Little did I know I will be jolted out of my wonderment with the realisation of how much people tend to celebrate the dead.
Someone once wrote these words "the only regret I have is of the battles I shouldn't have turned away from". Too many times battles are to rattle us into discovering and becoming the person we were met to be. If you don't fight for it, it can't become your right.
Over the years I have tried to understand what the video you'll watch after the cut portrays, but I still don't get it. If you do please be kind to drop the information in the comment box. Many blessings!!!
The dirt that flows in the river have no direction of its own. It goes wherever the current takes and deposits it. So it is in a world where greed becomes the propelling force. The people have no direction of their own but wherever the insatiable taste to acquire more takes them. Even when it leads to the world having to mourn.
The diabolic construct of the present day man has resulted to the inability to trust and love without the expectation of returns. Not to mention the heightened interest of 'self'. The question one fails to ask is; if 'self' becomes prevalent what becomes of the entity that makes 'selves' relevant?
The earlier the realization that modernization/civilization is grossly misinterpreted/misrepresented by this present generation, the easier it'll be for the actualisation of some level of morality as time ticks on.
On Heart Issues Series (HIS) today: A broken vessel do not mend itself so it is with any individual suffering emotionally. Especially with a broken heart. They need someone to help them pick up the pieces. It is not necessarily one of the opposite sex. It could be a friend, family member, psychologist anyone that can be trusted and whose shoulder is strong enough to be leaned on.
Words of Precious Emelogu: "I dislocated my shoulder. In fact, it got so close to a fracture. Marvin (my housemate) rode me to an "orthopaedic hospital". We sat down with the tens of patients who sat patiently, and eagerly waited for the Doctor. It was a private clinic, one which mixed Traditional practice with conventional medicine. The doctor was an orthopaedic doctor who did traditional practice! I was in terrible pains.
