APPRECIATIONS. (Mother's, women and everything in between)

We should celebrate women everyday.
  So today is international women's day and i felt like saying a thing or two about what i have seen, learned and appreciated from different women, but most importantly MOTHERS.
Praising my own mother would be pretty obvious and much expected so lets leave that for later. As an African (Nigerian) i have seen women go through so much challenges and struggles just for the betterment of their kids. Yes i know it doesn't only happen in Africa, yes i know women from all over the world face different types of challenges.

The pain however, is how under appreciated they are, the pain is how this side of the world makes a woman feel she has to remain in that situation and endure even at the risk of her own life.
In the northern part of Nigeria, the normal and most common advice given to every wife no matter the situation at hand is "Ki yi hakuri" meaning be patient (and i am 90% sure the same is the case with other parts of the country too). Now is this a bad advice? No i don't think it is. I strongly believe that patience pays but i also know that the woman shouldn't be the one to always be patient and sorry. When the man is wrong the woman should be patient but when its the other way round the woman should be scolded and threatened to be sent back to her parents? No i don't think so. This is one of the many double standards that need to stop.

What makes us US

What defines your being?
What makes you whole?
What keeps your fire burning?
What gives your life a meaning?
What makes you YOU??

The questions are endless. They (and even more) cross my mind everyday. Sometimes i can answer but other times, it just leaves me in deep thoughts about life.

immorality replaces LOVE

It is gradually happening, slowly and slowly it's getting acceptance. Finding it's way into our lives, leaving the darkness and sadness of where it rightfully belongs and occupying the brightness and joys of our world.

WHAT IS IT?? You may ask ...
It is the lust in our souls!! The new but very popular feeling and desire to please the world. It is new to some of us but it has long been in existence. This feeling/desire can make or mar we humans but I am not talking of how it can make us today. Today I am talking about the trends it has brought into our lives. The trends this desires have forced some people to accept as the truth and what is right. Oh Lord help us!!

It is confusing how all of a sudden the ways and teachings of the generations before us have been swept under the carpet and hidden away from accessible book shelves. I am talking about those teachings that prohibit theft, unnecessary killing, fornication/adultery etc.
Our generation has forgotten what it TRULY means to Love and be Loved.

Life Lesson: Ingratitude of Gratitude

As my first official post on my blog, I think its only fair and right that I blog about a recent and personal experience and it goes like this...

I left my house today a few minutes past the hour of 10:00 am heading for the ATM in town, went through the normal hustles and tussles in getting a taxi or whatever could transport someone. Luckily I got one not quite long, say 25 minutes after waiting. Now the whole waiting and getting a means of transport is not the main issue here. Hold on a while and I'll hit the point pretty soon.
