Unappreciativeness

I am quite certain that nobody likes being unappreciated. We love being Na gode(ed) /ese(d)/ Nde ewo(d). Simply put, we love being thanked. However, most of us are quilty of failing to appreciate the most beautiful things oflife.
   We fail to appreciate the trees who give us oxygen, the roadside cleaners who keep our streets clean just to mention a few. You see, no matter how irrelevant a person may be, he/she needs to be appreciated.
 If you think you're not guilty of being unappreciative I want us to consider a few examples. First, there are those of us who do nothing but yell and complain at everything. Nothing unappreciative about that? Well, think about a child born dumb, unable to speak then think of those who can but not intelligibly. The majority of these people will do anything just to speak yet some of us do not appreciate this gift.
  I hear tons of complaints everyday from youths who nag about not having the latest shoes, they forget that there are people who do not even have legs to wear shoes on yet they do not complain about being unfortunate.
  Let me conclude by saying that I well know that we are imperfect humans who make mistakes but it is necessary to try and control our imperfections. So, appreciate someone, a bus driver, pepper seller or even a cleaner, it matters a whole lot!

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

Miss Doing the Most

"So what makes you happy?" I asked Don. "Oh well, good food, " He replied. I smiled casually, but deep down, I added that to the list of points I needed to add to my skillset. I had been casually asking him what he liked and didn't like so I could know what I needed to pretend to be, in order to keep this one. Yes, keep this one. A man is a purse, meant to be kept! No juju, no big bumbum, no yellow girl was going to take this one from me. Big bum, check! I got it. Although six months ago, I didn't. I had spent a loan I took from my uncle which was made for a supposed new business venture (I lied) on getting my bumbum increased in size. Although it hurts sometimes when I sit for long, I didn't care. Anyway, back to base! Don had mentioned he liked good food, ladies who wore revealing outfits, ladies who barely eat, he didn't like the idea of a woman eating too much food, he wanted them classy he had said. So, tonight I made a conscious effort t
