PEOPLE: This is the season of thanksgiving, so I will say this is coming handy. I am so blessed, when I count my blessings they are mainly measured in people. there is a yoruba adage  that says "eni yan laso" meaning "Humans are our covering." I may have been disappointed in people, people  I thought will help blow dust from my eyes were the ones who actually added pepper, I mean lot of pepper. yet these few cannot out number the many beautiful people in my life.

Most times what we see is not a true reflection of what is. We must understand that beautifully adorned body and a cosmetic face hides a flawed skin. When you see people and you admire their person, the kind of clothes they wear, their shoes, house and spoken phonetics be not be carried away, it is a composition of packaging. A woman is about to be thrown out of home because her husband gave her money to keep but she spent the money on clothes and jewelleries. When family meeting was called she confessed that she admired a certain woman and wanted to have the things this woman had so she used her husband’s money in buying those things. My colleague and I were having a conversation so told her “that clothe I wore yesterday, I bought it in Ghana.” My colleague couldn’t remember the cloth, I tried to describe it but she still could not remember. This means most people do not notice what you wear. As long as you are looking good and it has become a habit, ...
