Love................ The Tough Type

Yaaaay! I'm back

 Today musings is about love, an idea I love so much but it is not just the mushy, eros kinda love but tough love borne of deep affection to right a wrong or imbibe certain principles in this individual. Before I go on to the lesson, let me tell the story of the inspiration behind this.

 Dupe (the lady who makes my nails) was already so late for the appointment but as a 'loyalist' that I am, I couldn't go anywhere else, anyways she came back with her baby (I gotta say, this baby is about the only baby that I know of that can laugh to every and anything), she had to feed her first so that she is able to work without any hassle. But this lovely baby won't eat, all the means devised by the mother did not work as she started wailing (Omo, this baby can cry ooo!). 

 That was how Iya Mistura, a neighbor came to the rescue, feeding her in the most 'cruel' way I have ever seen. I'm sure as a Nigerian child you might have been fed this way and for those that are do not know or are not Nigerians, see pictorial description below.


 This got me thinking, it is love that made Dupe allow another mother tend to her baby this way. A bit cruel? Yes I agree but the baby had to be fed to grow. Another revelation struck, some of us need this tough love in our relationships, we need tough love to pass that message our significant other, to let hi/her know badly or inadequately they have been dealing with us and maybe like Dupe's baby, they will cry, sulk but would later realize how advantageous it was to be loved the tough way.

 Thank you...... Please read, comment and share

Hola Lovelies! I'm back at ya! Today I am writing on an issue we seldom discuss. I got the idea on a WHATSAPP group and I knew I had to lend my pen. As always please read, comment and share. ******************************************************************************************************************************* You: Dad "I need 10k for my hand out and departmental dues" Your Dad: "I thought I just gave you 5k last week for project material, you this child money does not grow on trees! your sister's fees still pending, even your mum just collected 20k for house upkeep, I am tired........" You: Rolling your eyes as you zone out of the conversation, you murmur to yourself "this is why I prefer mummy, she will have given me something at least"  Meanwhile, your Daddy was up all night thinking hard on how he will split the last 10k he has on him between himself, you & your sister. Next day, he gives you 3k, you squeeze your face like deformed ...

Oh! we all want something, whether it be love, money, fame, power, stability, peace just mention it you may not have figured it out yet but the fact is we all want something and figuring it out is not rocket science you just have to find whatever it is that seem lacking in your life or that thing you see other people with and wish so bad that you want it. After getting this, the next question is how bad do want what it? what is the length you are willing to go to get what you want? what most people do not know is how hungry you are for what you want( i mean the zeal and passion) causes a certain force that will deliver what you want with the same amount of hunger you have for it from the universe or from the Divine if you are quite religious, I mean it is very evident in our everyday lives isn't said that from the abundance of the heart.....you know the rest. Now I do not the mean the kind of hunger that drives psychopaths to do crazy stuffs like killing or slandering or blackmaili...

Don't forget to read, comment & share.........Enjoy! Zha BOBO Omorayo sat across this fine boy and all she can think is Darn! " Bobo yi fine sha , is he going to be a yoruba demon or angel?. She has seen Olawale in church 2 sundays ago when her friend Tania had pointed at him and said "see my boyfriend", she had taken one look at his side view, full connected beard in place and she knew this is the kind of guy Tania would have attracted. Omorayo took a look at herself and her butt out belly and knew this guy may not even give her as much as a side eye (there was a lil jab in her belly pulling her out of the low self-esteem pit she is about to embark on). The next sunday after then Omorayo was jejely teaching her sabbath school when the broda sat in her class with another mutual friend George, she ha...
