...ARISE IN HER

We live in the 21st century where love is now taken for granted. Hardly we find true love these days...what a shame! There exist mostly lust which leads to fling, crush which is puppy love and the likes of them. WELL, can we still find our true love come what may...I think so. A couple of friends told me sometime back that there exist just ONE TRUE LOVE in a lifetime...ummm I totally don't agree with this. We love over and again and there is a saying - learn to trust love just one more time...and that one time could mean over and again, because you keep trying. One of the most priceless gifts we could ever receive on earth is loving someone who loves us back...

Well, I think I would just deviate a little right now.  People think love is imprisonment, hell no it isn't. When you truly love someone, you don't try to make the person your perfect imagination. You love them truly for who they are and not for who you want them to be. To wait patiently for a person to become of different character is completely futile. You will waste your life hoping a lion makes you dance, WAKE UP! Free the lion to find the lioness, and go find yourself a musician.

Most times, LOVE matters, but it isn't all it takes to make a good relationship but I still believe it is the basis of the foundation into building a solid relationship. I won't use the word...perfect because that's CLICHE. Quite the contrary, love is for the strong, it takes courage and sacrifices that no weak human being can make. A good relationship should be built on the solid foundation of these TRIO- LOVE, TRUST and UNDERSTANDING.

These days, marriages fail because people no longer marry their friends. Your partner should be your best friend, your confidant and your better half. This should be someone you can live with at the same time cannot live without. By these I mean marry someone you can accommodate and tolerate their excesses and still love them completely and you will also miss them when they ain't there...

Although, the truth is life is that the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you will see their flaws. This is why some marriages fail and some friendships don't last. You may think you love someone until you see the way they act under pressure, hungry or out of money. For goodness sake, love is something different. Love is choosing to serve someone and be with that person in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patience and kind, love is not boastful or resentful, love is deliberate. Love can sometimes be very hard, Love is pain and sacrifice. Love is seeing the darkness in another person and defying the impulse to jump ship.

LOVE isn't ENSLAVEMENT, ABUSE OR CAGING...

Well, I am in a hurry right now to try "beat up" the usual Lagos traffic. We continue some other time. Till then, stay blessed.

GIVE THANKS

THANKSGIVING AS A LIFESTYLE... A song writer once said "Give thanks with a grateful heart" and I totally agree with that, I'm so in love with that song...you can't imagine lol. We should be wired to give thanks to God as our lifestyle and not a choice. Today is supposed to be my mid-year thanksgiving in church but I am caught up at work. I woke up with mixed emotions, sad that I will be working whereas my mates are in church celebrating thanksgiving. But then again I thought of the fact that thanksgiving requires more than just your presence but a grateful heart. There is no reason why you should not say "Thank you Jesus" every morning when you wake up. Its more than just a gift to be alive everyday, It is a miracle. Recently, my brother was telling me about a friend who lost another friend in a ghastly motor accident. I was so inquisitive that I went as far as researching on the dead girl. I couldn't hold back my tears as I went through her Fac

Xenophobia or Afrophobia: Is it the fear of foreigners or the fear of fellow Africans? by Mary Izobo – International Human Rights Lawyer

Xenophobia or Afrophobia: Is it the fear of foreigners or the fear of fellow Africans? I am what you would call a nomadic African who has not had the luxury of being sedentary. In my twenty-something years, I have lived in five countries and still counting. South Africa, where I recently completed a Master’s degree is my latest home. However, I have felt more unwelcome in South Africa than anywhere else. In 2007, when I first arrived in Pretoria, a policeman stopped my car to check where I was from, because apparently, I looked ‘different’. As soon as I said I am from Nigeria, he asked for my bags which he proceeded to search it disparagingly, as if it contained pieces of dirt, and not my treasured valuables. He then demanded to search my handbag. By this time I had had enough of his disrespectful behaviour, so I refused to give him my handbag. I pointed out that by law, no policeman is allowed to search a female handbag without a warrant of arrest and only if I was charg

WAYS TO KNOW A GUY IS INTO YOU

Image
Some of us are so lost in the "Friend zone" that we don't even realize when that "friend" got something more than we imagine. There are a few basic ways in which we can tell whether or not that guy likes us. Don't quote me though, I believe there are several other ways but these are the few I have noticed over time. There are some unconscious things guys do when they feel differently about a lady, no matter how much they try to hide it you can tell when a guy is attracted to a woman... WHAT HE SAYS- You can tell from what a guy says whether or not he is into you but you cannot be 100 percent sure from this. Observe closely the way he talks to you and the kind of conversation you hold. The subject of his conversation may rate how he views you, does he TEASE you frequently? Playful teasing may hint that he wishes you to tease back. A guy almost never teases a girl he isn't interested in. Sometimes he goes as far as mimicking something about you.When a
