9 reasons Why Some African Ladies End Up Single For Life .

1. Many African ladies will end up singles for life because of media exposure- it is so disheartening how a lady will glue her eyes on a mobile phone from morning to night, only to raise it up to focus on television to watch another celebrity entertainment channel. Tell me, what else will dominate this lady’s mindset aside how to live a fake celebrity life being promoted on television channels?

2. Many African ladies now dislike cooking and home chores just because they had been totally brainwashed by movies showcasing men playing the role of women in a family, and due to excessive exposure to modern media that promotes gender-equality­­­ in a destructive way that’s aimed at destroying the unique African family setting that made our previous African marriages everlasting and envious to the westerns. Now, with this attitude, how do you expect a African man to desire to marry when he knows he is only buying more headache and trouble than helper for himself?

3. Excessive makeup turns most decent and serious-minded men off- if you have observed, you will discover that most men dislike excessive makeup, and more don’t even like it at all; reason they often times discourage their true loved ones to do away with it cos it speaks ill of a lady even though so many men will applaud and complement you for looking like an Egyptian mummy. A slight makeup is okay; but if you are out for marriage, try always to look simple and natural, it will attract better men, decent and serious-minded,­­­ except you are still living in your high school life and not thinking towards marriage.

4. Stop Giving Your Number Out To Every Dick & Harry! No man would want to propose marriage to a lady whose phone is always talking and laughing with unserious calls. You may not be a playgirl, but he would judge you as one, and will likely flee at the slightest chance or disagreement.

5. You Don’t Bring Any Value Into The Life Of Men You Date or Are Dating- because your best friend married without contributing anything to the man that finally married her, doesn’t mean it will work for you that way. Think, work towards equipping yourself so that you can be a value and also add value to his life to convince him that you are worth committing to. Adding value to his life isn’t by giving him money, or material gifts, nope….good counsels, being his best friend, helping him attain his goals in life, lending him moral, mental and spiritual support, and by not just being a liability that only bring requests and problems to be solved.

6. Your Friends Run Your Life- how do you expect to find a husband when you still allow your clique of friends to be dictating which man you meet is worthy of your love and which is not? When will you wake up and face the fact that those your best friends even though they cherish you, wouldn’t want you to marry before them or to marry the best man?

7. You Give Everything Out During Dating- As a single lady who has not been taken to the altar, you need to reserve some things for your husband to be, especially your body, respect it and preserve it at all cost. In the past, men rushed to marry to get certain things or privileges they had been constantly denied while being single. Such privileges include and not limited to: constant sex and companionship, good food and tidied home, etc. But today, a single man gets even the best and of course more of constant sex, good food and excellent home-keeping more than his married counterparts, so tell me how the hell you want him to desire to marry you when you have given him virtually everything he desires from a wife while being his girlfriend? And the most painful part of it all is that he knows that you are prepared to cut down on sex supply, cooking, home-keeping, etc once he marries you, so why would he not want you to remain his girlfriend for life?

8. You Package Yourself Wrongly- in your attempt to look sexy, adorable and maybe appealing to guys, you have derailed from appealing to appalling. In fact you look more whorish than modest; more distractive than attractive, and more disgusting than adorable. Your dressing style determines who gets attracted to you most times. If you dress high school, only high school-thinking­­­ guys will be attracted to you, and if you dress excessively sexy and provocative, only randy men will come to you for urgent satisfaction of their immediate sex urge, so don’t be fooled by media hyping of certain kinds of dressing, they are meant for certain set of ladies you wouldn't like to be associated with, be careful. Remember, not all clothes that look sexy are good for a seriously searching for a soul mate single lady.

9. You Lack Manner, Character, Wisdom and Good Home Upbringing- definitely, your ‘hot girl’, ‘pretty girl’, ‘sexy girl’ looks will win you so many men; both the good, and the bad, but your inner beauty, your character and manner are the things that will determine whether any of those men would stay or run after accomplishing their evil missions. In order words, do away with nagging, being possessive, challenging with men in negative ways, the mentality of ‘what a man can do a woman can do better’, a lie devil has used to deceive and destroy so many ladies today, please do away with it.

I hope you learn that

The timidity of a lion does not exhibit cowardice
and the restlessness of the monkey shows not courage!

Wisdom has no home! It sometimes visits the fool whilst leaving the wise!

If the fool is not restrained, it will throw stones at the leopard!

You must understand that you do not always attack fire with fire, cos cool water sometimes solve all the problems!

You must also take a cue from Wole Soyinka,who is miles ahead of you, that sometimes, one fights with his sword or pen and sometimes easy does it as he exemplified during the military era!
You might also learn from the tortoise who upon breaking its shell still went on to insult the ants that help gather its back which left its shell rough to date! I know its a folk tale but it sure helps to learn, that you must take care not to offend the horse that will lead you to your destination!

I can win all battles is what led Hitler to his grave!

The wisdom of the young coupled with that of the old are what makes a country!
A WORD!!!!
by ADEDOTUN Student at the university of Ibadan

 He was created of a mother whom He created.
 He was carried by hands that He formed. 
He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. 
He, the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.”- Augustine. Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind.
 To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. 
If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world. 
However, Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts, the gift of God to mankind – His magnanimous gift of His Son, and the gift of mankind to God –when we present our bodies a living sacrifice. 
Therefore, we can never truly enjoy Christmas until we look up into the Father’s face and tell Him we have received his Christmas gift, and present ourselves to Him likewise. Here's wishing us all a very merry Christmas!

 remember to follow.

       Life is short, but it is really worth it
 
  LIFE is short, but it is really worth it. Life is short but it may be pretty long and worthy if we make the best use of every moment. Life may be quite interesting and meaningful if we endeavour to love truly, live completely, learn continuously, forgive quickly, laugh uncontrollably, sleep wholeheartedly and break the rules. 
 
  Life is beautiful, life is wonderful and life is a precious gift from our Creator. The blue sky, the illuminating stars, the magnificent moon, the secret night, the sunny sun, the blissful fresh air, the heavy downpour, the astonishing green forest, the morning dew, the flying birds and the laughter of friends make life special.
 
  I can see friends shaking hands; I can see lovers whispering to each other’s ears, I can see mothers changing their babies’ diaper. I can see a beautiful family eating together.  I can see people settling their differences. I can see couples walking down the aisle. I can see mothers praying for their children. I can see fathers taking care of their responsibilities, I can see teachers impacting knowledge, I can see students learning voraciously, I can see problems solver proffering solutions to humanity problems. I can see foetus quickening in her mother’s womb. I can see people sacrificing for others. I can see the voiceless being given a voice and the hopeless being given a hope. All I can see is the beauty of the world, the beauty of life, the beauty of existence. 
 
  Life is pain, suffering and agony. I can see people fighting wars. I can see friends betraying each other. I can see leaders embezzling money. I can see husbands beating wives; I can see mothers burying their children. I can see fathers neglecting their responsibilities. I can see a beautiful lady crippled on her wheel chair, I can see a young, handsome and promising man asking for euthanasia, I can see the rich oppressing the poor, I can see the strong neglecting the weak, I can see injustice instead of equity. I can see pains in the eyes of men; I can see sufferings in the midst of abundance. I can see tears in the eyes of the oppressed. Life is beautiful but it is not a bed of roses. Life is wonderful but we can’t do without experiencing some kinds of pains, stress, frustrations, confrontations or challenges. Life is a rare gift from God but it is not cheap, there is always a price to pay. 
 
  Life is a combination, a mixture and a concoction of the good and the bad, the sweet and the bitter, the ugly and the interesting, the beautiful and the dull, the wonderful and the not so beautiful. Life is filled with twists and turns, potholes and bends, challenges and repulses, problems and setbacks. 
 
  But here is the good news; the vicissitudes of life depend on our attitude. We can decide to see channels of opportunities instead of challenges, setforths instead of setbacks, re-firing instead of repulses, steadfastness instead of stress, possibilities instead of problems and discovering instead of difficulties. 
 
  We have what it takes to smile through our pains, sufferings or disappointments. Besides, we have all it takes to celebrate our victory, success, conquest, triumph or progress without going out of limits. God has bestowed on us the capabilities to be in charge of our emotions, willpower and mind. In addition, He has blessed us with the abilities to make our decisions and choices in life, to see life as beautiful while others may perceive it as dull, to appreciate our life and make it worthy while some folks may decide to play away with theirs, to have the confidence and believe to challenge what is challenging us and become victorious. Indeed, He has equipped us with the right gadgets to live completely, love truly, learn continuously, forgive quickly, smile uncontrollably, appreciate sincerely and never regrets what made us smile. 
  I can see you overcoming your sufferings, I can see you turning your pains to gains, I can see you using your agony to change things around for your good. I can see you having hope regardless of what you are facing. I can see you harnessing opportunities in the midst of adversities. I can see you manipulating your challenges into channels of progress. Oh yes, I can see light at the end of your tunnel.
 
  Rise up my friend, stand on your feet and say no to your defeat.   Believe in yourself regardless of what others may think. Have faith in God no matter what you are passing through. Conquer your fear and take calculated risks so that you can conquer the world. Smile always no matter how bad your situation may be. Remember, it is not what happens to you but what happens in you. Forgive no matter how cruel people were to you and most importantly never give up on God and yourself because the first and the most important ingredient that makes life beautiful, wonderful, meaningful and worthy to live is the belief that success, greatness, happiness, victory, conquest, eminence, affluence, peace, triumph, joy, opulence and love are achievable and attainable. 
 
  The happiest people on planet earth do not have everything but they make the best use of what they have. A beautiful life is not the absence of challenges or overcoming problems, obstacles and disappointments, it is smiling through them. It is a common knowledge that life is short, but it is really worth it. Your Excellency, if you love truly, live completely, learn continuously, forgive quickly, laugh uncontrollably, appreciate sincerely, sleep wholeheartedly and never regret what made you smile.

1. Zombie Apocalypse     

Police kill naked cannibal who was chewing off a man's face June 2012: Miami  It doesn't get much creepier than this: A naked man was shot to death by Miami police as he was reportedly gnawing off the face of another man. The Hannibal Lecter-esque scene unfolded Saturday afternoon as crowds poured into South Beach for a hip-hop festival.  First, the police were flagged down by a passerby cyclist. A police officer arrived, and seeing the ghoulish sight, ordered the crazed man to stop. When he continued to chew on his victim, reportedly eating about half his face off, the naked attacker was shot and killed, while the victim was hospitalized with critical injuries. the only gunshots heard were the ones fired by the police that killed Rudy Eugene, now known to be the "Miami Zombie".  Third, Rudy was shot three times in the thorax and seemingly had no effect!  That's when he growled at police like the flesh-craving undead and continued gnawing.  He was then killed by an headshot, which is the only way to kill a zombie. lastly, Rudy Eugene was high on methylenedioxypyrova​lerone (or Bath Salts)... NOT cocaine.  And "cocaine psychosis", otherwise known as stimulant psychosis in the medical community,  rumor has it that Rudy Eugene was experiencing excited delirium, a much more serious and distinct condition.  Excited delirium manifests as a combination of delirium, psychomotor agitation, anxiety, delusions, hallucinations, speech disturbances, disorientation, violent and bizarre behavior, insensitivity to pain, fever, and superhuman strength.  In other words: A zombie. Are this not signs of the horrible things to come?   The end is nigh! http://blu.stb.smsn.com/i/6C/D7E191756697B67A3862386CA95D_h316_w628_m5_cYcXHRMRj.jpg

2. Woman gives birth to horse in Edo Nigeria September 2012 

The horse given birth to by a woman in Benin City, Edo State, on Tuesday. A woman purportedly gave birth to a foal (horse like) creature, otherwise known as a baby horse, on Tuesday, at the World Liberation Ministry, on the old Benin-Sapele road during the church’s prophecy programme. The strange creature, which threw the church members into panic, had died by the time journalists visited the church following the strange occurrence. He said during prayers he had a revelation that there was a woman with an issue and that something was blocking her womb. According to him, as prayers intensified, the woman started screaming and began to bleed and eventually gave birth to the creature. Evangelist Wealth said he could not confirm whether the creature was dead or alive because he did go near it. What do say? http://tribune.com.ng/images/stories/website_images/1209horse.jpg 

         3. Fire devil 

Australia.  Nature's not much for subtlety. Just ask Chris Tangey, the man who watched in awe as a 100-foot-high (30-meter-high) whirlwind of fire tore around a patch of Australian Outback on Tuesday (Sept. 11). Tangey, a filmmaker, managed to capture some very rare footage of the startling phenomenon while out scouting locations near Alice Springs, Australia, according to The Australian. One term for the event he recorded, a fire tornado, is a misnomer, according to Mark Wysocki, New York's state climatologist and a professor of atmospheric sciences at Cornell University. The columns of spinning fire are much more similar to dust devils than tornadoes, Wysocki said. "I would just call them fire vortices but that doesn't sound so sexy to the public, so I would call them fire devils,"  Scientist have come up with various explanation to this.  But let keep in mind that this beyond Bizarre.  http://i.livescience.com/images/i/31133/original/firedevil.jpg?1347911999 To be continued.  

                           THE AUDACITY OF ABNORMALITY.(2)
By Dolapo Aina  

“WHAT is the attitude of Nigerian cops towards reporting a suspicious scene and a crime scene?” The mode matters: Do you report like you are talking to your girlfriend or like it is an SOS call? Armed robbers have been shot dead, they were suspects before their death, innocent or not how strong and effective is a standard procedure to check if the tagged law enforcement hero wasn’t just trigger happy and wasted some innocent lives?   To the government of my great country Nigeria, “What is the state of the art technology in terms of communication to send Rapid Response calls in the Law Enforcement System?” Who monitors the time of Response? “Air response vehicles (Helicopters with trained sniper personnel) for situations like this? How many Police Posts and Stations have state of the art gadgets to operate from a remote location? Paper mapping systems not to talk of GPS.   Obagwono Oghomone went further, “What maintenance culture effectively monitored would be put in place to continuously manage this system?” Do you give a man a fire arm to protect people when he has a family at home to feed and expect him to do the job successfully when his salary can’t even take care of him alone? What benefits and incentives are in place to ensure this system doesn’t fail? How come such a sensitive section of a government employed persons of poor understanding of their objectives in our system?

So many ideas in my mind, but the question is, does my government (NIGERIA) care? Why allow untrained personnel (Area Boys and Hoodlums) carry out Police duties in the guise of vigilante? Because if my government really cares, so many and more of the issues with the law enforcement system would have been taken care of and probably Ugonna, Llyod, Tekana, and Chidiaka; and many others who have lost their lives in this barbaric manner would have had an equal opportunity as the murderers who are going to be tried in some court and probably given some years sentence.   Furthermore, Obagwono Oghomone said: “In a similar manner our educational system should be simulated for improvement not till when there is a fault that has never been fixed, because on the average in the eyes of our parents any child can be a saint, but behind their backs who knows, Like my father would always say, “I can only vouch for a child who is in the womb, the moment he steps out, he is capable of anything, so I have to watch and monitor him”.  

 I can go on writing, but I don’t have the power to do anything, so I’ll manage the pain in my heart after digesting that video, knowing that my fellow Nigerian can hit a man who is not proven guilty with a stick and say “You don pay your school fees abi?…..” That statement has a meaning, I would think that the fellow hitting with that stick and saying that has a good knowledge of the situation; he knew they weren’t thieves, he knew the real truth, sounds like an intimidating statement truthfully misused considering the situation it had escalated to.   Beef as a result of imbalanced circumstances some murderer in Aluu community found himself in. How come about the significant imbalanced system, abject poverty instead of a system where people should blame themselves for not going to school because of flexible opportunities given to tax payers by those who collect and control taxes?   Obagwono Oghomone went further, “I’m urging every Nigerian who is against this act to scream justice that is if justice has the right murderers in custody, not some random arrest of innocent people to pay the price of the real culprits. 
We have printed our fingers on ballot papers for the Nigerian government to serve us, in fairness, they should give Caesar what is rightfully his.”   Someone said, “So four boys suspected of stealing handset and laptops were caught, beaten, stripped naked, paraded round the community for 3hours and eventually burnt to death, and everyone is blaming the community and the killers, well, lets ask ourselves this question, what was the response of the police when the incident occurred? There is no way anyone will tell me that the police were not called or informed of the happenings; they turned deaf ear.”   A lady commented, “Some commentators above claim that in response to the killings, Uniport students have gone on a rampage of the village where their colleagues were killed; burning houses etc….. Does that in any way make the situation better? Would more innocent lives and property not get destroyed by this? It just shows that at both ends of the stick, people are angry, frustrated, deprived and naturally, are venting in the only way they can…. Violence!” 

Another commentator posted this on the BBC Facebook page, “It is disappointing to see others challenge BBC’s question. It is like trying to avoid the challenging truth. Someone has to ask that question. Murders happen everyday in many places, but where murder/wickedness is cheered on by a mob with glee and without an ounce of compassion, then that society/community is as depraved as hell itself. Nigeria has sincerely fallen into anarchy.   It is only now that social media is exposing how low we have fallen. How long do we pause and lament the death of a stranger murdered by armed robbers? A few minutes only because it is a ‘normal’ everyday occurrence. When a woman goes to a police station to report a crime and gets assaulted by police officers, can we still say we function as a country? I remember hearing on the news of a Western female reporter being gang-raped on the street while on duty reporting an uprising. It was fellow women who saw this from their balconies and came out with sticks to fight off the men while other women ran for the police. They did not say she is white or non-Arab or not covering her hair. They saw a human being, a woman like themselves and they acted.   But in our case, murder was championed by a community, in a country where lynching and burning alleged thieves has been done for ages. We must examine this question from a moral and human rights point of view and set pride aside. We have no pride as a nation. In our hearts, let us fly our flags at half-mast and lament the state of our country.   

A lady posted this, “Robbers came to my house and I went to report them to the Police. I was asked to pay them so that they can follow it up. Even when you report, then you become a suspect. This is just sad.”   The solutions to this dissipation of moral, political and social values can be found in Kola Oyeneyin’s (a friend and the convener of Sleeves-Up) brilliant article”Nigeria-my faith and my fear” published in Ynaija.com (October 13) and also posted on his Facebook page, where he opined, “this is the time for the genius in you and me to come out and express itself.   

This is when the Spirit of God should begin to inspire us, to inspire others towards one purpose, solution….The feeling must be that there is no better time to be born in Nigeria than now, and there is no greater generation to belong to than this. Those that are left with any jot of morality should begin to put it to use, and those who can still feel, begin to feel for others. 

We have been empowered to empower, built to build, supported to support and assisted to assist. We have been raised up to uproot, destroy and plant. This is our mandate, now is the time. I call on all writers to sharpen their pens and begin to write. Artistes, begin to sing songs that can move a generation. Let poets begin to compose words that will resonate down history and painters begin to paint your masterpiece. Those with political will, position yourselves and those with a voice for social justice and equality for all, begin to join or float platforms that will amplify that cry. Enough of empty talk and pointless conversations, our gatherings must be strategic and our strategies must deliver.”   

Also, if the citizens of this nation must talk, it must not be a politician-driven talk. It is of necessity that the perpetrators of the Aluu lynching should face the music. But it would be of immense national benefit if the trial is televised. The trial should be televised. If done, Nigerians would all be watching themselves on trial. For we are no longer normal.

SO I ASK AGAIN ARE WE ABNORMAL?
                                                     LOVE STONED!!! 

 I hope you’re feeling good wherever you are without me, because I am not feeling great here without you. I don’t understand why I still feel this way because the way you left sent me almost dead. Yesterday, I again looked out through the window and could remember how you walk through the fields to meet me. I could remember how much I wanted to meet you that afternoon I saw you tendering to the flowers at your father’s garden. 

Why it all turned out this way I still cannot understand. You made my world shine like the stars. I always believed love was like the rose in the sun; beautiful. Or like the moon in the sky, tranquil. Or like fishes in water; tender. Or like the Gouldian finches; colourful. I used to think it was all true and caring, all sweet and sweet. But you showed me the other side of love. You left me with the sour taste of betrayal and brandish at me how wicked love could be. 

You turned to me the other side of love. You taught me how painful love could be. I know not whether to still believe that it was you standing at the park with Sam my close friend, with your arms around him as both of you kissed passionately where we used to sit and watch the sunset. NO! I can’t still decipher the look on your face whether it revealed innocence or contempt or both.

 I could hear the rhythm of the flowing breezes pause with the beat of my heart as I took the shock. I could still feel the bouquet of flowers that sat in my hands and how they lay there confused too. I could not stop the tears that ran across my eyes and the fear that lorded my heart. I just wanted to walk away and get lost! I just wanted to get swallowed in the earth with every memories of our love fade into thin air.

 I knew not what I did to make me deserve this from you. I felt I could trust you; I felt I could love you. I had always run away from love. But I could remember that afternoon I saw you at the garden. I could remember how you smiled at me when I waved; that smiled that shone brighter than the sunshine. I could still see how your silky hair flowed with the wind revealing more of your amazing beauty that got me stuck to where I stood; that got me wondering if I was in heaven. I needed no diviner to tell me I was in love. But when I tried to talk to you, I stuttered and messed myself up.

 I remember you laughing at me but it only made me love you more. I could not wait to count the stars with you when you finally agreed to my request. If my heart could fly, I would have been out in the space, revelling at the sweetness of your love. I was a novice in love but it was the best way to begin; the perfect way. Here I am today still trying to accept that you already left. I know not whether to curse myself for ever meeting Sam or for ever loving you. But now have I begun to accept that unblemished love happens only in fairy tales; that I ask myself “Would I ever love again”. Goodbye, Sheila. 

I know not why you chose to betray me. I know not where why you chose to leave me in tears. I still don’t know why it turned out this way but I know each night that I go to sleep; I still feel the space that you left in my heart. And now, I am afraid to love anyone again. Just last month, I saw another girl at the garden and we had become close friends but when she told me she loved me, I could only cry.
