Closer Than A Brother

I bet a lot of us are looking forward to St Valentines day, while a few of us cannot be bothered. Now, hold on! It's not because you don't love chocolate or wine or teddy bears and jewellery. It's because you don't have someone to share it with, or you are just not feeling loved. There are times when I just wished God who says He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother could just come down, draw me close, and I could just cry my eyes out on His shoulder. Sadly,He can't come down and manifest as a strong, broad, shoulder. Sure, I feel His strong presence ,sure I feel His Love. When I remember His Word. But He has also sent certain people into our lives; people who will not laugh at our present circumstances or tease us for our inadequacies; people who believe in us and appreciate us; people who are just a call away. Just yesterday, I was distraught because I was unable to get a positive result from a project I am presently handling, and then a friend cal...

Fan Craze

It is amazing the effect Celebrities have on teenagers.  Just recently, I saw a picture of two American teenage sisters attending an event on an online news site. As they posed on the red carpet, you could see hundreds  of  excited pre-teens and teenagers screaming in the background. I may not have been that fan-crazed when I was eleven, but I was a teeny bit crazy. I was such a huge fan of Scary Spice that I used all her unusual nail polish colours( which are now considered normal); Mel B was my idol. Back then, I could have done anything to look like her; she was everything I wasn't; outgoing, vibrant, and playful, but I loved her. I desperately wanted to get a tongue piercing and a belly button piercing, but couldn't because there was no Piercing Parlour back then in the ancient city of Kano. Decades down the line, I never did get the  piercings done even when I had several opportunities. A few years down the line, I discovered tongue piercings meant different t...

FORgiveNESS

Forgiveness means to FORget the wrong and GIVE your heart to God to mend it. A few years ago, a 'friend' really hurt me. She was someone I was not close to but just had a habit of 'paving' the way for me.  At first, I found it childish that she would say things about me that were not true and would read several meanings to my actions or words. At first I thought she would stop, but she didn't. Because I was not a talker, I was waiting to see Karma catch up with her; but Karma never did. When my other relationships began to get sour based on this assassination of character, I just internalized the hurt and tainted my perspective of everyone; everyone was sent to hurt me. Next, I isolated myself and drowned in my pain . I was hurt because my actions were constantly misconceived and it seemed no one  gave me  a chance to show them who I was. I let hurt cloud my judgement and reasoning. I have experienced a lot of identity crisis in the past trying to b...
