Source Happy Children's Day to all the children out there; to all those who have refused to grow up and to all those who remain children at heart but adults in body. lol Happy Children's Day to the kids who have been failed by our country. Its such a shame that we were not able to protect you or keep your innocence, but you are still children and deserve to have a holiday like every other child. Happy Children's Day to all the kids who are still protected, loved up and pampered by their parents...this is what childhood really is all about. I pray you never lose hope in your parents and the Society at large.

When God says " No " to others its not nearly as painful as when it hits close to home. Its so easy to tell someone "God knows best" when it doesn't directly affect us. But believe me, it hurts like hell when that "No" or "Not yet" is directed at us. It hurts like hell. Just yesterday' I told my friend "it is well, lets leave it in God's hands because we cant do anything about it anyway!" Today I asked God why He did what he did. And my answer came instantly. In my own voice. In my own words. Haunting me. - Not one Christian wants to be in Job's shoes even though we all want the blessings attached.  No matter how much the story( Read the entire book of Jobs) teaches us to be steadfast in our walk with God, no one wants to be Job willingly. I also remember saying our life is like a puzzle just fresh out of the box. It's everything but organized. No matter how perfect the picture on the box, we still need putting t...

Hello my beautiful people. One whole month has passed again. Can you beat that? I don't even know how the time flew by...well I think I was hoping it will fly sha. I was so broke this March #sigh. I couldn't wait for month end to get my salary. lol Haha, speaking of being broke, my brother encouraged me to do "Ajo" that was way above me this year. He contributed half of the money and I contributed the other half. The sad thing is he credited my account for 3 months upfront. Apparently, I didn't get an alert for the 3rd credit and thought God had suddenly enlarged my bank Account. So I spent the money with abandon and thought life was good...until He called me to remind me at the end of February that He wasn't due to make another contribution till April. Mbok, where do I start from? See me sweating in the office that day. He had to send me his bank statement and I had to go back to my banks to verify the payments made too.  At the end, I had to squeeze my ...

I am not out to look for trouble or wake up sleeping lions. I just want your honest opinion. Source Ladies, can you wash your man's ( man= boyfriend, husband, friend-with-benefits or friend-without-benefits ) clothes? If your answer is yes, why? Please state your reason. Source If no, please state your reason(s) as well. Source Thank you very much for being honest...and for your time. N.B ------Please note that I didn't say the following: your brother or your dad or your sick friend.  I also don't mean wash as in washing machine. I mean the regular hand wash. bowl/bucket/soap and water with your hands.

When you go to an organization for an interview how do you act or behave? Especially towards the people you meet or see there? Personally, I tend to greet everyone, starting from the security man to the receptionist. I think that's first of all because I have been possessed with a "greeting" spirit and secondly because it really doesn't take anything from me to greet someone. Something funny happened just now. Interviews are being conducted currently in my office and we have been seeing all manner of people- the confident, the not-so-confident-but-not-shy, the shy and what-have-you. Some come in with the impression that its already theirs, others are just hopeful...anyway I digress as usual. Source This lady just came in. I happen to be the only one on my floor right now as everyone I share office with is in a training somewhere in Ilorin. (I am not there because I am in a different group). So this lady walks in and begins staring at me. Her stare is so har...

Hi, Its been almost a month since my last post. What have you been up to in this period? So much has happened to me and even though I want to share, I am constrained to hold on till I get the final picture. So I will put it up here when its ready for consumption. :) My blog post today is about respect. So many people demand it. Respect is not something to be demanded from someone. Once it is demanded it is no longer respect but more of coercion. Trust me, I had to go to Wiki to get the true meaning. Wiki says: "Respect  is a positive feeling of  esteem  or  deference  for a  person  or other  entity  (such as a nation or a religion), and also specific actions and  conduct  representative of that esteem.... Respect can be both given and/or received. Depending on an individual's cultural reference frame, respect can be something that is earned. Respect is often thought of as earned or built over time." I brought this ...

Hi everyone, trust you have been as good as me? lol Hope the weekend went well though? I had a really busy weekend. I was in school all day, well most of it on Saturday and Sunday. Oh yes, Accounting is not beans and for the first time it is beginning to look less like baby graffiti  to sink in. Glory be to God!!! Ah, yes it have rish to bring God into the marra oooo. I have been having cold "flooded" feet if there's anything like that since I realized I had to take the course. Postponed it since last year June and now I cant postpone it any more, so the tutorials and the plenty man hours studying. (Well, Switched at birth still has a hold on me but the fear of failure is stronger than switched at birth abeg). Source So while we were in class I noticed that I seemed to be the only one who hadn't opened my book at all. I was almost intimidated, but I held my head. I refused to slow any one down with all my questions, but I made sure to ask questions whe...

I was at YSU' s bog 2 days ago and I read her post about sharing "the love" and I totally support it. Its a beautiful initiative to just be nice to others without reason and I can assure you that the world needs a lot of niceness and kindness. So here's the thing: The first 5 people who comment on this blogpost with "I'm IN", will receive a surprise from me at some point in this calendar year - anything from a book, a ticket, a visit, something home-grown or made, a postcard, absolutely any surprise!   These 5 people in turn must make the same offer in their blog and distribute their own joy. Simply copy this text onto your next blogpost, so we can form a web of connection and kindness   . Let's do more nice and loving things for each other in 2014, without any reason other than to make each other smile and to show that we think of each other. Here's to a more enjoyable, more friendly, and love-filled year. Remember it doesn't have to...

Hi everyone, its Friday!!!!!!!!! Do I hear a whoop whoop? I'm pretty excited, this week has been crazy for me. Let me just summarize it briefly.  On Monday, I spent my day in the hospital and at the dentist where I got a molar pulled out. The unfortunate thing is I'm not allowed to take pain killers because they no longer work for me (an over-dependence on them over the years I guess) so I have been banned for my own good. Now the Dentist was faced with a dilemma. I needed a form of pain killer to help relieve the pain the extraction would bring. She finally settled on Ibuprofen which I had to go back to my doctor to check. My Doctor refused and told me I could only use PCM.  I had the tooth extracted and all seemed well until the anesthesia wore off, then I knew what it meant to dance in flames. By the time my mum called to see how I was faring, I cried like a baby (I always do that right? see here ) and I didn't feel ashamed at all. The pain had me thinking of li...

Its funny how you never think of something even if it stares you in the face until someone points it out. The other day, a family friend noted that I like the colour pink, I denied it. I am a green and brown person I said. "Really?" was her retort. You used pink for your traditional and white wedding. It was just a coincidence I said. No big deal. I didn't want to use Green because its too common, and brown because it would have been too dull. She goes "ok ooo". Fast forward it to a year later. I am working on my tablet but I need information from my personal laptop. While using both, I got a call, so I make use of my phone and when I am done with the call, I drop my phone on the bed beside the other stuff, then get up to go take a leak. As I return it finally dawns on me... I claim to "not be a pink person" but my laptop is pink, my tablet case is pink, my phone pouch is pink, my bathrobe is pink, my water bottle is pink, I am in a pink n...
