Beautiful People

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.

These beautiful minds give me reasons to be a better person, they inspire and motivate the greatness I see before me. With them it is difficult to be sad, they always always make me count my blessings.

My people are a reflection of me, always reminding me that relationship is beyond money, greed and lies but a bond of love, care and integrity.

Even as the recession is biting hard, I would rather reflect on the gift of people. All I feel is gratitude that I have people to love, care , appreciate and share in their moment of joy and low state. I equally feel same gratitude that I am loved beyond how I imagine.

To all those who have and still light my darkness, you are much more special to me than you think. You all are my BLESSINGS.

Guiding Territories

I understand that when a man cheats it is not always about the fact that his partner is doing something wrong. It is about the fact that it is in his nature to cheat, he has assumed society story that it is a man’s world and he is entitled to more than one woman. It is however amazing that women has so far helped to foster this narrative that most men are trained with the notion that they cannot be committed to a woman. In other to keep their men some women result to violence by tracing the women who has taken their men away and disfiguring their bodies.   Wives tend to pour their frustration on the women whom they think is taking their husbands away from them, forgetting that their husband is as guilty as the mistress. The society should frown at the man who disrespected his wedding vows and made mockery of his matrimonial home.  Everyone protects their territory. It is only a foolish person that sits; arms folded and allow the enemy takes his household into captive.

The state of my state

So I have been thinking, if a child offends his father in the house, does the father in the bid to correct his child calls his neighbour to report the bad deed of the child and begs the neighbour to help him spank the child? This is what I know, as a mother, when my baby is wrong, I talk to her calmly, lovely, I tell her how angry I am and I hope she doesn’t repeat it again. Of course, my girl constantly wants my approval so she will promise not be do it again. Other times, she does something wrong and I do not wait to talk to her sweetly. I will give her “abara” (spank), yes I am an African in the sense that I understand that this is my girl’s formative years and there are things that must be driven thoroughly into her. My girl is just 2 years 6months but there are times I have had apologised to her for judging her wrongly and I have scolded myself for being tough on her, other times I think I love her so sweetly that am scared she may get spoilt but I am quick to tell mysel

Abandoned yet rewarded

I am still awe at the manner people hide under the cover of culture and religion. It is wrong to cheat and still pretend to be someone full of values. The societies do not believe it is appropriate to castigate one who is wrong if he holds a certain title in his neighbourhood or somewhat a respected individual as he is viewed. This married man got a single lady pregnant, while the folks of the lady discovered she was pregnant, she was interrogated and it was later revealed that this man was responsible. The family of the lady made sure he got a house for the lady and took responsibilities of the other bills. After some months the lady put to bed and on the 8th day of the child’s birth, he killed a ram to perform the rituals of her naming. However, this man has been in a marriage where his wife has been unable to conceive, efforts made that he should marry this lady as second wife as it is tradition and religion to him proved abortive. He made several excuses of how he doesn’
