5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE OLDER PEOPLE AS YOUR BEST FRIENDS

     Contrary to the general belief, older people are not as boring and close-minded as we portray them to be. Our peers are really fun to be around no doubt, but having a few older friends can be very beneficial to our lives as well.

The following are reasons why you should consider having older people as best friends.

1.Gain wisdom beyond your years

Older people by virtue of their age have a vast variety of knowledge and a heap of experience about almost everything in life. Most times, they’ve been there and they’ve done that. So, mingling with them helps you discover a number of different ways to accomplish certain tasks and make better decisions. Learning about how they lived and pull through in their time, gives you a deeper sense of appreciation of what you have today.

CHEATERS; SHOULD YOU CALL THE OTHER WOMAN?

Very few things are as liberating as finding out that the reason why your spouse or partner has been treating you differently in recent times is not because you have changed or because you’re no longer good enough, it’s because he has found another damsel that he seems to cherish more now. After the liberating feeling comes the feeling of anger, rage and betrayal. It is this feeling that prompts us to call the other woman. But is this really adviceable? Can any good come of it?

7 Reasons Why You Should Date a Married Man

3 Sure Ways To Spot A Disrespectful Woman

This is for the benefit of all those guys who are so blinded by their so-called love for their sweethearts that they can hardly realize it when things are getting out of hand and the tables have turned. It’s crazy to hold onto a relationship where you’re neither valued nor regarded. The unhappiness you live with is unfathomable and it never ends up well except some miraculous transformation ensues to bring back the angel you fell in love with. Otherwise, if you spot these three signs, then you don’t need further proof. You need to have a talk with her.

The Truth Will Not Set You Free

     The bitter truth will not set you free. Or let me put it this way, the truth will set you free but first, it will make you miserable. According to Rev Ed Hird, the problem with the truth is that it is most often deeply inconvenient, morally inconvenient, socially inconvenient, politically inconvenient and financially inconvenient.

     When last did you tell the truth without experiencing the harsh reality of anger, disappointment, or punishment that accompanied it? The truth will only set us free if we are willing to pay the price, but the cost can be very high indeed.

     You will agree with me that on so many occasions we have prayed that the truth will liberate us without losing so much, but by the time the results surface, we really wish we had replaced it with several layers of white lies.

     

     The following are 9 Typical examples of those times when the truth didn’t set you free and you really wish it did.

What is the most Attractive thing your partner can give to you or do for you?

     While it’s never a guarantee to making your partner love you more, you’ll agree with me that showering your partner with all sorts of love (financial, emotional, physical, spiritual, social etc ) can increase the odds of establishing a stronger loving bond.

     No matter how much we love giving to them, every now and then, it’s always nice to be on the receiving end. And let me state this clearly for the benefit of all those misguided wives and girlfriends, giving is not the sole responsibility of a man, they also love to receive too, atleast once in a while. Although, I read

Guys, would you marry a Smoker?

Smoking is sexy!! Or atleast that’s what they all say. While it’s more or less a norm to see men smoke, in our Nigerian society, any lady who is bold enough or should I say wild enough to smoke commands a whole army of stares and glances from all corners of the room. The attention is humbling! Some women crave this attention, they feel good about that air of mystery around them that spins the heads of all those around.

     While some people may regard women who smoke as promiscuous or immoral, they really don’t care so

Quiet People. Wolves in sheep clothing's?

    In life, especially if you’ve lived over 12 years of age, you’re most likely to come across that category of persons who do not typically engage in or contribute significantly to group conversations. You never find them in out-spoken arguments, they’d rather read a book than go out partying, they enjoy solitude, usually soft-spoken, think before speaking, appear calm and self contained, care less about fame or status and are usually great listeners. These are quiet people or better referred to as introverts.

        We all have one opinion or the other about them, but they are mostly associated with mean things. In fact I heard this recently. After mass on Sunday, I waited in the car for Mumsy while she went about her

What you have to do if he must let go

     When two people are commensurately in love with each other, the feeling is bliss and quite soothing. It is tender, lovely and fills gaping holes from within to without. Very few things in the world can compare to the mad, passionate fulfillment that being in love with the right person can offer.

      However, it takes two to tango. Not a quarter of this feeling is derived if only one partner is contributing most of the love (feeling the groove), and it can be quite suffocating if  you happen to be the other partner who is not feeling the groove but you have to constantly keep up appearances, pretending to be happy.

      Most females can relate to this, you want to let him go, but he won’t just lay off. He’s not taking no for an answer and he won’t let everything he’s invested in both of you just go down the drain, because he loves you. While this display of determination, strong-will and persistence may be attractive to some women and most likely change their mindsets, to others it may come off as a turn off and can be quite irritating.

When you Flirt Does That Make you a Cheat?

Flirting in practical terms is when George gives Lisa the impression via verbal, written, or body language that he wants to be with her on an emotional/intimate level when in fact, he doesn’t really want to. Or It could be the other way round, where Lisa gives the suggestive signals.  Cheating on the other hand, is performing any type of intimate act with anyone other than your significant other.

Revelation 20: 11-15
"11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;  and there was found no place for them.   12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;  and the books were opened:  and another book was opened, which is the book of life:  and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.   13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;  and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:  and they were judged every man according to their works.   14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.   This is the second death.   15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
 
Man dies physically first and then for sinners, spiritually a second time.The second death tells us about the state of a man that dies in sin,where his soul is incarcerated into hell rather than into heaven. It is therefore imminent that we turn from our evil ways, accept Christ and follow His ways to make heaven and avoid this second death.

2nd Corinthians 12: 9-10
"9. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:  for my strength is made perfect in weakness.   Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:  for when I am weak, then am I strong."

The grace of God is all we need to be strong, only when we are weak is everything completely by his power. So when we are weak, we are really strong.  

WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T EXPECT FROM A BREAKUP

            Breakups happen all the time. Whether it is two people in love growing less fond of each other, or two people travelling apart from each other, or via the interference of a third party, whatever the case, all roads almost always lead to the same destination- breakup! It is never a rosy affair and always leaves one or both parties hurt. Dealing with this hurt is different for both sexes and who broke up with who, as well as individual personalities play a vital role in the expected reaction.

EMOTIONAL CONFLICT

There’s no such thing as being torn between two (or more) people. Its either you love and want to be with a person or you don’t. Sure, every now and then, the situation presents its self, where it appears as though you have the same amount of feelings for two (or more) significant figures in your life, like you can’t do without both of them. Well, ofcourse you can’t do without them, they both add so much value to your life. What you can do however, is to love only one of your numerous choices. You have to. If you’re an honest person, then you honestly want to be committed to “only” one person. That you appear to be torn between so many choices is only a subconscious battle in your mind that arises because of a blurred truth.

Yayyy!!! we won o, the first time i actually settled to watch a Nigerian match and i wasn't disappointed. I'm so beautifully happy right now. Now, i'm happy not just because we are presently world champions but because of how inspiring this whole thing turned out to be. You see, I know Okon, he's my cousin. Yes! the "16" year-old Samuel Okon from Greater Tomorrow Academy. Hehehe....no I'm not claiming relationship because he's rich now, he's actually my cousin.... a very far one sha..lol.
   Anyway, i know he hails from a really poor background. His father does this job..ehmmm..these people that dig up sand for suppliers (i don't know what they are called), and to the best of my knowledge he was unable to write WAEC/JAMB because they had no money for all of that. But, now all that is far in the past. This young man has transformed his family's destiny drastically because he followed his dream, his passion, his talent. I'm sure the rest of the players have similar transforming stories. So indeed, fairy tales do happen in Naija.  **and they Lived Happily ever after**
    Congratulations to all of us.......Long live Nigeria!!
*By the way, this my cousin doesn't know me o, its a one-way relationship.    

Short Guys Are Possessive: My Opinion

I have been with my fair share of guys so I know at least a little  thing or two about them, a little enough to draw my own conclusions. More often than not, tall guys whether handsome or not are much less insecure about themselves in relationships compared to shorter guys. The consequence of this is that tall guys therefore do not “guard” their “babies” as intensely as shorter guys even when faced with more socially influential and physically attractive rivals.

WORLD RADIOGRAPHY DAY

For those of you that didn’t know, I am a student of the very prestigious Radiography profession.  Today, 8^th November  is World Radiography Day  and its celebrated each year. The date marks the anniversary of the discovery of x-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.
             Radiographers worldwide use this day to promote radiography as a career, as a vital contribution to modern healthcare and as a chance to increase public awareness of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy.
             Radiography has come a long way in carving a niche for itself as an indispensable part of the medical world especially in its ever growing significance to the core values of healthcare. 
             The modalities at our disposal include the conventional x-ray, fluoroscopy, Computed tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Mammography, Ultrasound etc which we use for diagnostic purposes. The profession also offers therapeutic services basically via radiotherapy.   

We give medicine an EYE….we make life BETTER.

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests.   And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.   15. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16. And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks:  and he was a Samaritan.   17. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed?  but where are the nine? "

RATS, ROACHES....AAAARRRGGHHHH!!!

I hate cockroaches! I hate rats more! I hate lizards even more! They are so annoying. I could never completely describe the magnitude of dislike I have for these creatures. In today’s holy word,

it is evident that God has given us the power to overcome these creatures but mehn.. the way I fear them ehn, it’s a serious matter. I can’t wait for the day that this scripture would be made manifest in my life. Mumsy says when I have children the fear will automatically disappear but that’s an awfully long time to wait. I want the fear to go now now.

          The other day I was in the Loo, taking my time to do what people do in the loo..hehe. To show that I was really taking my time, I had my PC with me. I was trying to surf the web as usual to see where I can copy and paste things from. Nothing was on my mind except for what I was doing, my eyes were intently fixed on my screen because I had to get something asap before it would trip off.

So, you can imagine my shock when I raised up my eyes for one second and saw this rat sprinting towards me. There was no time to think, before I could realize myself, my PC had found its place on the ground, my legs were mid-air, my hands were scrambling about looking for what to hold on to, it was like I was lit on fire. In fact I don’t think I have ever screamed as loudly as I did that day. If I had fallen just 2 inches deeper, my ass would have been decorated by *you know what*. Disgusting right? But that’s what a good-for –nothing rat could do to me, and I was totally helpless.  There are indeed very few things more frightening than a sprinting rodent.I  felt soo bad, I was furious. But even with all that fury I still wasn’t courageous enough to pounce on the stupid little thing, not that i would have succeeded anyway. the package of annoyance had already made its way, it was long gone before i could even organise myself. They do so many mean things to make staying at home hell for me. I don't even want to get started on the amount of destruction they do to our cereal boxes which have gradually become their amusement park, or the waste bin, their cinema.
Its so frustrating. What is even more frustrating is their resistance to 'otapiapia'. The thing doesn't catch them at all, in fact from all indications, after ingesting the poison, they shake it off and continue their normal routine. The other glue-board used to work until they got smarter. i have literally seen a mouse long-jump over the carefully baited board. As if it knew i was watching, after jumping, it looked towards my direction for a split second with this evil grin as if to say "stop trying miss, we're way ahead of you" and then continued running. I was in awe, literally. 
            Roaches on the other hand are something else. Although, if I had to pick between a roach and a rat, i'll probably opt for the roach...yeah, shoot me. The reason is simple, I believe roaches are easier to eliminate. All you need is a good insecticide (I use Baygon) and the are gone. Works like magic everytime. Rats on the other hand can linger for so long and just make you look like a fool when you try to eliminate them. But besides the comparison, there's so much about roaches that gives me the chills. They lay their eggs everywhere, they always scurry about in the dark and in hidden crevices, they have a way of invading my personal space, the stench is terrible, not to talk of the white slimy thing that comes out when squished. What's there not to hate?
         As for lizards, they have my ultimate hatred. I detest these creatures with every bit of my existence.  I can't exactly say where this phobia emerged from but its been there all my life. In fact, i'm traumatized by them, can't stay in the same space with a lizard. A lizard is ugly enough to watch when static, on the wall. Its even worse to actually watch them move. I hate how they crawl, hell! i even hate a dead lizard. And the fact that they are so many in the world makes me want to ...ugh...eat my fingers. I even heard that they fall on peoples heads atimes...yikes! Can't even imagine it.
         In short, i"m just not a fan of creepy, crawling things. Heck! i'm not a fan of animals except horses of course. Wish they were all extinct, life would have been so much better.
