A lesson to all is that people may never believe in you until you succeed. Never be discouraged when people do not believe in you, it is in the nature of man to seek the path of least resistance. Men would sway towards the pattern of least stress and would hardly vibrate to the rhythm of a ‘work in progress’. You shouldn’t be surprised to see that ‘happening’ people have more friends and fans than struggling people. That, however should […]

I was running late for a meeting this morning when I got a call. It was from a lady. The caller ID wasn’t displayed meaning I didn’t have it stored on my roving Nokia Torchlight phone. The moment I gave my official response “Hello, Goodmorning”, the caller broke the official code and began to joke. I couldn’t bear to ask who I was speaking with so I tried to decode the voice and I did. She went on and on, […]

Have you ever tried to win someone else’s affection? Say a parent, a guardian or someone you wish would turn around and admire you even without saying words to that effect? Have you ever? Have you tried going out of your way to do things you never really dreamt of, just to nail it in the wood of someone’s tree? Sure you have.

If you care to ask my opinion I […]

She was a complete woman as the eyes could see. Her feminine gait and graces were intact. She filled out in the right places and when she smiled, you could see that those two primitive African marks on her cheeks couldn’t stop the glow on her face. She […]

I have come to understand that every malfunction that occurs in old age is traceable to a continuous misbehavior in youthful life. Little habits that we take as fun things and the normal trend of youthful life condense and become the dregs that haunt adult life. It doesn’t count whether it is of good or bad or amoral. What we practice daily, we perfect wholesomely in no time. We indirectly cultivate our habits with our little continuous acts of daily […]

Many times in relationships we hardly say what we should or act who we are, maybe because we are scared of scaring the other away or maybe we are just to insecure to be ourselves. The result is of course a relationship that we manually build and not one that we deserve. We end up patching the holes in the boat, when we either shouldn’t have gotten into that boat or we shouldn’t have holed it all the same. We […]
