The Break Up

I just realized how gloomy my room looks.It just synchronized with my mood,today had started out well but somewhere along the line it happened, a break up had definitely not been on my agenda. The yam i fried now tastes like sand in my mouth as I look around my room with tear sodden eyes and clothes.Grey curtains and brown paint suddenly  made my room look like a zombie meeting point and I begin to imagine  what life would be like as a zombie. No feelings or emotions just the thirst for human blood. I'd just eat my mother and not even flinch...the thought of it makes me shudder as i shake myself back  to  reality.There are better ways to deal with break-ups i think, like watching a movie that makes you cry so you can tell yourself the reason you're crying is cause of the movie and not him. Well,guess i now have to stick to the old routines of single-hood.

Her Father's Son

"Daddy see me! Daddy see!" the eight year old pealed with excitement.She had been washing her dad's car and was currently on the roof of the car. She had to prove to dad a girl could do better too. But she hadn't expected the angry yell from dad as he came out of the house. "C'mon will you get down from there my friend!" out of surprise she slid down and landed with a thud on the stony ground. Tears filled her eyes as she tried to suppress the sob that was rising in her throat, she had bruised her knees. "What were you doing there? Ehn?!", dad shouted.She couldn't respond for fear of her tears letting lose. "Who even told you to wash the car in the first place? Answer  me! You should have just left it for Ekene,you're just a girl!". Ekene was the houseboy,she had begged him to allow her wash the car so she could prove to dad that she could be the  boy he wanted so badly. But all that was forgotten now...

The Content and The Container

Looking good is good business, I for one like to look good but I don't derive my identity from looking good and you shouldn't too. Oh the mascara's quite befitting and I love the way the eye shadow lights up the face but you better be lighting up the walls of your heart cause the true beauty lies within. The content in this context is more important than the container...meaning take care of the inside more than the outside. What defines a complete woman is not what she wears or the hair she makes,its the aura and beauty she exudes from within. I'd rather be beautiful on the inside because that's what  counts,that's the one that lasts. The woman that leads is the one within.

MMM and Ponzi schemes, Taproot of evil??

  Through 2016, Nigerians have been 'blessed' by several networking platforms, from great MMM to Ultimate cycler to wow givers forum. Most of these originated in the past years and became quite popular this year probably fueled by the regressive economy and all round inflation and hardship. I can't divert to the history of these platforms as the guiders and disciples would hang me for every word so if you think there might still be an atom of credibility check out their respective Wikipedia pages. A simple way of explaining a ponzi or pyramid scheme is in the name Pyramid. It is not a cycle of help giving as the description would always suggest. It is simply a structure constructed by a person or group of persons with sole aim of ensuring a continuous flow of money to the top by always adding layers of larger bases to existing pyramid by the concept of rewarding higher layers of the pyramids with such increase.  A well planned and executed pyramid scheme can kee...

Outpour

What can I say about water unclean Oil so dense Or blood spilled to cover the mixture? What can I think of the hard hats The Bulging pipes Or the lies that they disperse? What is my opinion of RPGs The memories it is to wipe Or the cleaning less important than a checkup What can you say about Greed Of fluid money Moving faster than the bullets that secure it What can anyone say about the Outpour of the Niger Of its people Flowing ignorantly into the Sea?

How do you measure your Success?

In almost every aspect and point in life, people tend to measure their success and achievements most times to evaluate if goals have been achieved or if effort was worthwhile or to analyse amount of additional work and time needed to achieve the said goals. In this enquiry, several techniques, yardsticks and approaches have been developed and incorporated over time. However the continuous search for an ideal measurement scale/relation/method goes forward to prove that we haven't found that ideal yet. I however have come to measure 'relative success of association' by levels of external and internal pressure to achieve and it's corresponding praise level. I came to this weird method of measuring by association since every single knowledge, idea, fact or understanding we have emanates from external influence or deductions based on same. That is an article for another day but because I have brought you to start considering the truth behind that statement goes a long way ...
