A worrisome update of a friend on the social media made me reach out to her via inbox. It turned out that she was battling potentially terminal health challenges. In the update, she made a vague reference to her battles and then asked friends to keep her in their prayers. I also reached out to […]
Continue ReadingBecome a GOOD citizen of the world. Wherever you find yourself, give the best of yourself there. Treat your host community well and always be humane to people. Keep in mind that “where you come from” may not always have your back as “where you are.” Don’t be the reason others are paying for a […]
Continue ReadingDo not miss an opportunity to plant a seed of goodness. You may have initiated a chain of ‘paying it forward’ without realising it. Be in relentless pursuit of knowledge. Knowledge (if rightly applied) is the saving grace of mankind. Cultivate knowledge so that you don’t unknowingly help to propagate falsehood and ignorance that ruin […]
Continue ReadingIt is my conviction that this is the year of HEALING for humanity in general. The sole intention of every lover of humanity in these times should be ‘’helping to heal the world.’’ Such efforts are what each of us can make in our individual capacities and little corners of the world. It’s often the […]
Continue ReadingSome women were recently caught with babies said to be ‘’a few days old.’’ It was further discovered that they specialised in selling newborns. I want to address couples who may be moved to “find a child anyhow.” One thing I have learnt about life is that all we do are accompanied by consequences. Igbo […]
Continue ReadingWhen a relationship that means something to you is troubled, what you do is enable honest reflections. In the absence of genuine reflections, facades are stowed. In troubled moments, there are dispositions not to subject a relationship to. Playing mind games. People in troubled relationships do this a lot, to make the other feel jolted […]
Continue ReadingThe quote reads, ‘’A perfectly crafted body will certainly get my attention but I will get bored with it. I always do. I need you to outsmart me. Make me feel like I could learn from you, grow with you. Do that and you can have me forever.” The “I need you to outsmart me” […]
Continue ReadingThis is my address to the woman coming from an experience of brokenness. Dearest sister, The first thing that I want to make you understand is that it is not everyone’s success story that will be will be told through marriage or even biological children. Yet, everyone’s success story is waiting to be told just […]
Continue ReadingI have had reasons to re-think ‘happiness’ as most of us understand it. A French philosopher (Charles de Montesquieu) once said, “If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.’’ […]
Continue ReadingMy response to her was ‘men are not always in the mood’ for lack of a better answer. Sometimes, the ‘right words’ fail even a wordsmith. Otherwise, her concern is one that numerous ladies have continually expressed. “How does a man switch off (and then, on) on a spouse effortlessly?,” she asked me. We all […]
Continue ReadingWhy am I making YOU the focus, here? Because you are the one disturbed enough to seek help! Therefore, it’s important to point you to strategies within your control. The heart of another person is one of the things you can’t control in life. Back to the discourse. With people who mostly live in their […]
Continue ReadingThe points I picked from a man’s message to me (recently), were… They have been married for about 12 years with children. The wife seems to mind his closeness to the mum. His wife is a loner and doesn’t like associating with others. Getting her to attend occasions with him is often declined. He attends […]
Continue ReadingWhen a friend asked me to handle the keynote address for their women’s retreat, I accepted on one condition that I would be allowed to speak from the heart. The theme of that particular retreat was ‘securing your home.’ Not a few women in that gathering expressed bewilderment when I mentioned showing grace to fellow […]
Continue ReadingThe two different video clips were shared by friends on social media. One was that of a pastor preaching in his church. Then, what I believe was a deviation from the actual message took place. He took divorcees and single mothers to the cleaners. He said a supposed believer was ‘mingling herself’ (whatever that means!) […]
Continue ReadingA comment on one of my posts on Facebook got me thinking seriously. It reads, “The worst thing that can happen to a lady in Nigeria is to be a divorcee because you eventually turn to other men’s property. “No one will take you serious (ly). They will only use you and drop you -quite […]
