Friendship, Making or Breaking You?

Hello readers, I am sorry for the break in transmission but hey! I am back. Today  I will be focusing  on what friendships can do to a person either positively or negatively. Okay, as usual, this will be short.
  Who is a friend? The bible book of proverbs says (not that I am  trying to get all religious though) that a friend is someone sticking closer than a brother. A  friend is any  person who keeps company and shares  some moments of your life with  you(my definition).

  Undeniably, friends form an important part of your life whether you agree or not. They influence your life for good or bad ,directly or indirectly. Just like an absorbent material, people pick up habits from their surroundings before they are even aware of it! This is why picking a friend should  be done with caution.
 To  illustrate,  when you are friends with people who do good, you are motivated to do likewise but when friends do bad things, if you are not careful you may begin to under estimate the level of their badness because you love them. Before you know it, you are already doing such things!
Before I leave you , I would want you to think deeply about these traits of an ideal friend and ask if your friends possess them and if you also do
1. Forgiving
 Always forgive when people err
2. Respectful
Never talk disrespectfully or insultingly to a friend because you think they won't take it personal.
3.Apologize
Always, I mean always apologize to your friends. Do not assume that your friends will always forgive you because they love you. Remember, friendship does not come with an insurance againt hurt. Fix things when you hurt a friend by apologizing
4. Encourage
Never bring your friends down with bad words. See the good in them and spur them to success
5. Support
 Trust me, we all need somebody to have our backs and that is why a real friend will always be there.

  Please note that there is no such  thing as a  perfect friend. Do not go about breaking friendships because  they lack one of the qualities here listed. Just kidding. But hey! Make sure you share this post  with a friend. Friends , do not forget to watch the news too or read. Many things are happening in the world I tell you. Good friends stay updated :)
  PS: Please do not join the ongoing trend of nude picture  takers. I love you all!!!

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
