Friendly Enemies


Today,I will be focusing on five types of friends that we need to beware of.These are those who claim to be friends but are actually enemies.
1. ALWAYS ASKING NEVER GIVING.
 Some friends have the habit of always asking for favours but when called upon for help, they always have the perfect excuse as to why they cannot help. Such people subtly send us the message that they are only hanging around us because of what they are benefitting from us. The moment you cannot help them, they leave! So, you need to let go.
 2. ALWAYS RECEIVING NEVER APPRECIATING.
When a friend never shows appreciation for gifts and favours, you need to be careful. It could be that the friend does not value you and your sacrifices.
3. ALWAYS COMPLAINING NEVER ENCOURAGING.
 Do you have friends who do nothing but complain about how bad things always are? You need to beware. People who constantly complain and never encourage you are dangerous. They dampen your spirit, bring you down and fail to help you actualise your dreams. When you continue rolling with such people, you become like them. ALWAYS COMPLAINING.
4.ALWAYS AGREEING NEVER DISAGREEING.
 Real friends do not always agree with you. When you are wrong they tell you ! If a friend always agrees with you, there is a problem. It is absolutely impossible for you to be right at all times that is why you need friends who will always correct you. Most times when friends do not disagree with you to your face, they may be doing so behind you.
5. ALWAYS PERFECT
People who always portray themselves as the best and put others down are obviously selfcentered. What do you need such people for? Nothing!. They agree only with one opinion and that is theirs. If a friend  does not count you as someone relevant, let go.
 Most times, we find ourselves constantly  feeling lonely despite being surrounded by people we call friends. The problem could just be that you have the wrong set of people as friends.
However, when you find real friends who do not possess any of these traits, hold them tight.

Proud to be Incorruptible

 The beauty of being a woman comes in various shades. It is the pride of being ‘unbewitchable’ unlike the male gender. For a woman can never be conquered by juju or black magic, only a man can. Only a man can be bewitched to lose his senses and become ‘snatchable’ by another women who disconnects him from his wife.  This in turn births another strength of a woman, a woman can break such ‘bewitching’ locks through prayer! Glory! Yes! Only a woman can pray her spouse out of infidelity for men are a breed immune to the gift of prayer. So when a woman is unfaithful, society knows, society can tell, a man is not expected to pray his wife back to her marriage for two reasons. One, she cannot be bewitched by another man for she is immune to juju and two, men cannot pray. The absence of the ‘bewitchableness’ of a woman is sometimes called into question particularly at burials of husbands. Yes, we try to make exceptions for women. Only widows can kill their husbands to inherit their property, b

The Heartbroken Heartbreaker

It took me how long to write this? Probably a million years! This piece is long overdue! Ladies and gentlemen, especially ladies, please do not feel particularly attacked by this piece. I am trying very hard to be honest. Last night, I thought to myself what my response would be if people ever asked me if I've been heartbroken and before I knew it, I had a long speech about how unserious men can be and how women suffer as a result of this. Then it occurred to me that, in the real sense of things, I have never had my heart broken by anybody. Please, please, please, I am not forming wonder woman or holy than thou, it is the simple truth! I came to this realization because, I noticed that if there was ever a time that I felt terrible emotionally it was because of my own expectations and unrealistic guesses. I really don't like to write things about love and relationship and stuff because it gives my readers too much opportunity to get into my head and sometimes, imagine things

3 AM

I woke up at 3 am. This was the best time to do it and get on with life, it was a time without souls on the walkways, just the regular night guards who were now familiar with my work pattern. I woke up at 3 am. Got out of bed and breezed into my silk dress, no underwear. A risky thing to do, considering it improved my chances of getting raped, according to some people. I didn't care. Whoever wanted to rape would rape, with or without my underwear. I woke up at 3 am, got to the kitchen and opened the back door. There, it laid  as usual, in a black thrash bag. I motioned towards it, hesitating for a bit. But why, this was my usual responsinility. I had to clean up over them and get rid of every evidence. Somehow, I felt guilty, a part of the larger evil in the world. I woke up at 3 am, got the 'package' and slid out of the house. I monitored my footsteps closely to avoid noise. I monitored the air to taste for human presence though my nostrils. I monitored everything but
