Object of Love

People generally and carelessly use the word LOVE. 'I love you', "I need love", "I want to be loved". The main object of love is not for you to get something that you want, but it is to do something for the well being of the person you love and truly love; without blinking an eye.

Who's in the Garden?

Once upon a "who's in the garden?" A game I hated while I was growing up. I saw myself not being able to respond to the answer because I was viewed as the "the not fine little girl". So I grew up seeing myself as such. I grew up into a timid young teenager "disadvantaged" in many ways. Very slim, delayed boobs growth, those ones were like walnuts, flat "behind" and to make matters worse, I had coloured teeth (I still do though but see them differently now😎) which made me wear a permanent frown on my fave. For those who grew up in the 70s and 80s, this was a game we used to enjoy so much and an opportunity for you to show off that you were beautiful and also identify those who saw you as one. I hated that game! Reason? Anytime I attempted to join, my play mates were always very quick to let me know that I didn't qualify. It was painful to say the least. Some memories don't just go away! My self esteem was battered, I was timid and had...

*...AND THE PRESIDENT CAME*

11 June 2021 06:26am With nostalgic feelings, I recall how beautiful it was growing up in the 70s. So many activities to remember and look forward to. One of them was the visit of the President. For whatever reason, ...and the President came. The preparation to welcome the President was like none other. Children were made to line the streets of the major Roads in their school uniforms, just to welcome the President, catch a glimpse of him, proudly waving the green white green flag of the Federal Republic of Nigeria...and the President came. I recall how my mom of blessed memory, would iron my brown khaki uniform, bring out the whitest of all my socks (in retrospect, I think she used to keep a particular pair of white socks for the visit of the President🤔), polish my brown Cortina shoes shining like a beautiful mirror, you could almost see yourself in them, as you walk majestically in them, all eyes on you as...and the President came.

Parents, Plan for your Old Age

 Dear Parents, The time for you to prepare and plan for your tomorrow is now, if you haven’t started. Pls do not rely on any child for your old age, no matter how much you may have sacrificed or are still sacrificing for them because unlike us, the children these days do not have space for their parents in their future plans! If you happen to be one of the lucky few, congratulations, but do not be caught napping! It’s better to be safe than to be sorry.  It’s all about them! Only about them! Only about them and their tomorrow. Listen to them speak. Engage them in discussions relating to their future. You will be shocked. The feeling of entitlement these children/youths exhibit is out of this world. No matter what you do or how much sacrifice you make, they believe it’s their right and most of them believe that they owe you nothing in return as you are simply performing your parental roles. A child once said to me “I didn’t beg my parents to bring me into this world”. Another o...
