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...

WAYS TO KNOW A GUY IS INTO YOU

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...

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...
