Peace
I woke up this morning with so many things on my mind…wondering how my day would be today (praying silently within for it to be far better than yesterday)…actually do not want to remember my yesterday; would explain why…don’t think i have a choice (more…)

Tension
Usually for me, work used to be a place of rest, peace, joy… place where i feel like am with my family- a whole new family however these days i see something else…don’t get me wrong we are still a family but then i see a lot of competition, a lot of push, a lot of ‘beefs’…a lot of ‘i too knows’ (please pardon my use of English)…oh God!!!…what i fear the most is division, the thing is i see it coming, its so clear…cant understand why other people cant see it, or do they and decide to keep it inside of them?….

Trust…
The one thing that I dredge the most is ‘distrust’…when people actually doubts me when I say certain things especially when am saying the truth…
Some few day back I actually came close to loosing my boss’s trust for me, honestly, that would have been it!!!…
There are times when we try as much as we can to gain the trust of the people around us, to sustain our integrity cos that alone is very vital; it goes a long way…I will give some instances; (more…)

Lies!…
It’s funny what I usually use to classify as little; not that I like the idea of lies, it actually hurts at times when people lie to me, (especially people that are supposed to be my close friends)…
Yesterday, I had a 2-3 hours session with my boss about something I had told him the previous day, something that hurts him so much, cos he thought I had lied to him…he actually gave me the opportunity to come out straight with him…to be honest with him…to give him the opportunity to confirm the trust he had always had for me.
I was so…so scared, scared of the fact of not knowing what exactly to say at that point, cos I really didn’t want to lie about anything…anything at all (I try as much as I can not to get myself in a situation where I would have to lie)…not that I don’t lie o!!!…the thing is am working seriously on that, cos what you say at a particular time matters a lot…someone once said that ‘its better to not to be understood than for you to be misunderstood’… (more…)

True Love
A Song Writer once sang…
Show me how to Love
In the true meaning of the word
Teach me to sacrifice, expecting nothing in return
I want to give my life away
Becoming more like you each and every day
My words are not enough
Please show me how to love…

Sacrificial Love
Personally, I see love as Sacrifice (a whole lot of it); true demonstration of love is sacrifice with the mindset of sharing one’s life…
Most times people think saying that they are in love with someone certifies it, what that does is give the person an idea that you care about the person or better still loves…the truth is the ‘Love is not only in words but in deeds’…my objective for this actually to bring to our to our notice how possible it is to love and love sacrificially
Let me explain this by illustration with a short story… (more…)

The Act of Prostitution
It’s close of work and am on my way home, thinking of how I cant wait to get to my bed, I was fagged-out, closed pretty late today, I looked at the time to realize that it was 11:30pm already….whoa that’s quite late!!!…as I drove past I noticed some ladies nicely dressed standing and probably waiting for men to pick them off…
I slowed down without realizing it, with so much tears in my eyes, wondering what this world was turning to, amongst the ladies were young girls, little girls that shouldn’t be out that late, teenagers….! Oh my God!!!…. (more…)

Criticism
Most people do not understand the importance of criticism, as they either use it as a malicious weapon when they at the giving end and perceive it as a personal blow when they are at the receiving end. These categories of people as outlined above simply do not understand the crucial importance of “feedback”.
I love criticism but not as a weapon for breaking a person’s drive for achieving great things but as a means to redirect or give correction. I come from a society where people find confidence in them selves by successfully destroying the other persons self respect and esteem….. (more…)
