  A Certain young man decided to beg from an old man seated at a corner, he asked him for some money, the old man did not ask questions, and he did not seek for clarifications, he just quickly gave him what he asked for.  The young man thanked him, collected the money and went his way, while the old man looked away, some few minutes later, the young man returned and offered the old begger the money he gave to him and even more.  Beautiful tears dropped on his cheeks, while he was asked why he offered to help without uttering a word, he said ' I know what it means to be in need,the young man smiled and said to himself, he is "poor" but a rich man. I call him a teacher. This singular gesture is a clear illustration which shows that giving is a virtue ,one doesn't have to be rich before one can give. Can I also say that the rich aren't the givers,it's people with good heart that gives, such gestures are enough to melt your heart, many a time we try to think alot

  I just wished I won't wake up someday and ever write about this, because I hope and pray that our society becomes so good that evil won't even live in our thoughts let alone manifesting. Its no longer news that 3 teenagers we apprehended and another was caught by the police after he absconded, making them a total of 4 people in this hellious crime of murder. These boys had the guts to kill a young lady who happens to be the girlfriend of one of them, they lured her into a place and cut off her head, when they were asked what they wanted to use the head for, they confirmed it was for money ritual. Some few days ago, in Imo state, we saw on broad day ligth, two young men in their thirties, eating their own poo and in quest too is for money ritual. We also heard about some young boys that was caught in a hotel with a bag and when the bag was opened live snakes was found and when they were asked about the whereabout of the snake, they said it was for money ritual. I am not

  All Social media handles pushed the news about a woman who killed her cheating husband, simply because she found out that he impregnated a lady, she went ahead to drug him and finally used hot iron to render him dead.  We also learnt that they recently came back from a vacation in dubai and as such he expressed his love to her and her kids,the pictures they shared signified so much love and care but alas we saw what anger implanted.  Anger they say beget nothing but pains and perpetually sadness and ever lasting regerts if not retraced, it's so sad that she didn't even give him the chance to explain himself,let alone apologise and make ammends if possible.  We often say that men are polygamous in nature, having said that and also know that, its not in your place to take the law in your hands and say because you are married to him, you can kill him if he ever misbehaves, alot is happening in homes yet we all need to seek for wisdom and redirection always.  Its always adviced t

  Often times when we indulge in disagreements, we hear different types of acidic words from people we never can tell they actually said those words to us.  We hear, words like "I can do it all alone, I don't need you to help me, I can always help myself, I am more than enough etc, the list goes on and on, then you start to wonder why we allow sentiments to soil good relationships and tarnish what we have built over the years.  If we must achieve alot and go farther in life, we need unity to function, we need each others capacity and capabilites, we need to access and accept our differences to promote and project a better cause.  We should realise that no man is an island of knowledge, of intellect and of wealth, some how, we need the next person to get to our goals and no one is so useless that he has no function to execute. In our world now, we are linked with so much competition, we feel we have something to brag about, some to showoff like a trophy and a spotsfish to showc

  Just when I taught I have more than enough going on already, its quarter to enter depression and just let it all out, then I heard about her fears as she wrote them in her story "Lord if I haven't prayed enough, listen to my heart" who understands the panes of a young widow with little children, everything makes her cry. Quickly, I shaked out my pains and swallow a wholesome amount of food and learnt to see my probelms as nothing. So many enabled people without no jobs, entering depression and eventually faustrated, we hear sad news about them on how some committed suicide, others indulged in dubious activities and ended up in prisons, while some wallowed in regerts and pains for life complaining about their situation, but just at a corner, we all watched her born without no arms, another born without no legs, yet they are joyful, happier than we are, they decided to accept the things they can't change and found other ways to make life better, again, I jumped out

  Yesterday fire rained down a morgue somewhere in the east and burnt lifeless bodies waiting to be buried by their families, the extra pains associated with this is something their family members won't forget in a lifetime. Again, I watched two matured women in their forties figth back to back naked in a show of shame because they were venting their anger on each other. Some few days ago, I watched a horrible video of a young lady that was butchered on broad day ligth by four guys on an express way, while they were hurling all kind of insults on her, one brought out a matchet and cut off her head twice, then dragged her body to the middle of the road. Let me add this, I know of former neighbour who struggled so hard to make a living from fish selling, since the husband married many wives, each wife was expected to take care of their children by themselves, she was a real hustler, she trained all her children single-handedly, watched them grow and she even built a house of her

  I love him so much but I can no longer wait for him to propose to me, after all its not subjected to a man alone to propose to a woman, the world is evolving, I can as well take the inciative,she said to herself.  Oh dear, she went ahead, got into a jewellery store, asked for his ring size and got him a beautiful silver piece, then she headed straight to his office with her event planner, couple with balloons, flowers, trumpeters and cakes and wine to propose to her man.  There he is, with sweet songs from the crew playing behind, everyone got attracted to see what was happening, she knelt knelt down before him and professed melodious and tempting words to woo her man towards accepting her proposal, everyone was glued to see what would happen with no one uttering a word, he hugged her first, said no word and she slotted the ring in his finger.  The quite crowed expressed different reactions, some clapped, others cheered, while the rest murmured, the music continued while they kissed

She wore a beautiful garment full of shinning stones, attracted by the high and migth, admired by all, a hand of fellowship was extended, the world stood still for her, she was indeed an epitome of beauty to behold, yet when she goes into her domain the pains can't be explained, she wears a different underwear so unattractive, now no one wishes to associate with such.  There we found him, the praise of a nation, the glory of a people, a name greater indeed, the shining armour with blood stained behind, he goofs and wallows in the regrets of his past, we are only permitted to see what he allows us to see but beneath his fame lies the groons so unbearable.  So subtle, she became, watching her self drift away like she never existed, her depression slowing reaping her away, she manages to spread a fake laugh, we admire her dentition and a beautiful dimple, but who knows more about the faustration she lives with, we all want to be like her but no one wants to share in her painful downti

  Families take directions from the word of God, any other thing contrary to this, is a household enemy, its our prayers that God helps every family undergoing what they can't explain, understand and bear. There are some fundamental responsibilities accorded to each member of a family, for proper functionality and upkeep of the family.  Dear husbands, if you are generous outside but stingy at home, remember you asked for her hand in marriage, know it that you have an answer before God.. Dear wives, that God made you the bread winner of the does not make you the head of the family, rather see it as a test of your humility and pray that your family excel admits all challenges.  How often do you pray in your family?  Build a lifeline of prayers to God with your family, connect your family to God always.  When you kill the seed of love you nurture the seed of hatred, there by destroying the innocent generations in your children.  Do we truly forgive in our families,transmit love , let

  How do you pay so much and eventually lose your wards, the recent deaths recorded in most boarding school across the country has indeed become and issue of concern to parents and wards.  This becoming so annoyingly pathetic, what kind of repeated pain is this?  Its so disheartening and devastating, enough of the  pain inflicted already. What excatly are the benefits of going to the boarding school apart from allowing them stay away from home and learn, then you pay heavily and get this kind of acidic result. Please, its high time we allow our children stay with us for sanity sake, if they still have to attend boarding school let it be in their senior secondary stage at least they are almost at their adults stage where they can easily diffrenciate things and be able to discern well without being bullied or hijacked in fear of speaking up. The things we hear is nothing cut short from Bullying  Negligence  Starvation  Sever punishments  Fear of the unknown, amongst all other negative vi

  Dear brother, you left her because she isn't working, you see her as a liability, you don't value her because of her current predicament, despite the fact that you love her and you forget the years you both fought thick and thin to stay together, you sold your love for her and decided to stick to a working class lady who you barely know or even love, its okay but recall that, nothing is ever permanent in life, the job migth not be there again tomorrow , so what happens to the relationship at that point? Dear sister, you love him through and through, but you fail to appreciate his efforts in trying to make you better, you allow little nothings to come in between your relationship, you leave him for a rich man who lavishes you with so many gifts, you abandon the sincerity you both shared and tarnished the love for some gifts, please recall also that nothing lasts forever, things are bound to change someday. Now, because you are married, you now consider others who aren't

  Alot happens in life and certainly everyone has a story they either share or keep to them selves for the rest of their lives. That you are in a relationship with someone doesn't guarantee that to you will or would be married to the person for life. Oh yes, you got engaged and celebrated the years looking forward to memorable dates together, isn't a prove that you will or would marry the person eventually. Let me also say this, that you courted for years and infact had your introduction doesn't validate that you will be married to that person. So many even celebrated your traditional marriage in grand style and all cultural rites were paid, isn't still a guarantee that you will end up as friends for life. We go to the extent of having court weddings, contract weddings and even church weddings yet that doesn't mean we can't still be separated for life. Now, to the main highlights, am not here to promote any form of divorce, separation and disassociation,

  Have you had people in your life who feels like they are over protecting you but actually in the real sence they aren't protecting nothing? Often times we have people in your lives who are selfish with our advancement, they appear like they care so much about us, but they are only greedy and self centred. They act like they know better, see better and can' direct us well, the are angry when we take decisions without them, they want to assume every role in our lives. Most of the time, they don't want our voice to be heard, they are ready to make all the decisions for us and project only what they want to happen in our lives. They can appear in the form of close aides, family relatives, parents and even siblings, sometimes colleagues and long time friends who knows more about your backgrounds, they are always everywhere. Someone will say "family is everything" yea in some inevitable aspect of life but they become a pest when they won't allow you be what

  "Honestly why would I commit my life and totality to you in marriage and still have something to hide from you.. What is that exactly? Past Finances Medical Future Otherwise If I can't access your phone and what you have in mind, then you are unfaithful to me and it should be reciprocated.  We should have nothing to hide in our union if we are truly into each other. I made the above statement on a post about a lady who shared similar case about his cheating partner and she discovered his HIV positive when she checked his phone, that post had 100 likes and over 50 comments. Many would say, if you keep checking you would find nothing but heartaches and pains while others agrees to the fact that you have the right to check once in a while to be certain of whom you are living with, because people change with time. My candid opinion on partners checking their spouses phone is okay, as long as you are one, you don't have anything to hide from each other why then should checkin

  I watched a video where a young man in his early thirties expressed how happy he was that his father had died. He was all jubilating at the news of it, he narrated how wicked and inhuman his father was to him and wished him dead even when he was alive. He added that, he was so wicked to him that he has at several attempts failed in his engagement to either poison him or send assassin to him which all proved abortive. He also went ahead to narrate how he used various charms and incarnations against him yet none worked and here he is rejoicing over his victory. I read of an encounter of a man who narrated how he sacrificed so much for his family as a young man, denying himsef of so many things and opportunities to better the life of his siblings yet they all turned against him with so much fury and hate. We have house hold enemies who all they want is to see you suffer for no reason. These are people you have gone out of your way to please, some will just be in competition with you eve

  Sometimes it last in love or sometimes it hurts instead, either of these must happen when love or loving is involved. Often times we all can't be lucky with love, or has a mind of its own, no matter how we tame it, if it never approves of us and accepts us wholly, our efforts are fruitless indeed. You see this love game comes with so much expectation and that's why we see even those who have lived together for years still file for divorce. Sad, but true, love fluctuates and that's why true love is always tested with so many blows, only the genuine ones lasts the test of time in bliss, while others rancor in pains of its regerts. No matter what your storyline comes with, it either ends in bliss or in pains, love blows hard and also softens mildly, it respects no heart. Sometimes, we feel we can't control who we love how we love and give out love, even when we do all these, love can still chose to deal with us rashly and sumount us to emotional torture. Love gent
