Thinking Out Loud

Hey blogville, hope your weekend has been as great as mine. Was having a night-in with my sisters and we got talking about this "aunty" ( you know those family friends you can't call by name) and the way she used to ill-treat her house-helps ( I want to believe she has changed)... I thought I was the only one who noticed while growing up apparently I was wrong...hmmm another blog topic. But really why do people treat their helps like second class citizens like they don't have a right to hope and have a future like their own children...more on that... A good friend has been lying to me...you know who you are...I'm sure we both know where we stand... your smile can't fool me and when you say good morning...trust me...I check the time...but you're still my good friend! Double standards exist all over and it isn't about to die...I will keep revolting against double standard(s) if I am the victim or know the victim...I won't drink panadol for another ...

Nigeria @ 50 Day 20 - Myne Whitman There's always something to give thanks for no matter how little plus the Good book says to give thanks IN all things...With this in my head, I celebrated Nigeria's 50th independence anniversary. It is true that our leaders have failed us to no end and let's be honest many of them are long gone in their evil ways that to turn around and do good will only be the death of them... What I found out though is that we all have made Nigeria what it is today...either by acting or just keeping mum(remember the siddon dey look action?)...All it takes for evil to thrive is for good men to fold their arms and do nothing. And like a friend once said,casting all puritanic and holier than thou attitude off,we have all benefited from Nigeria's corruption to a certain degree albeit little...search your heart and soul and you will realise this is true. So what is the way forward.First can I just say that if you don't have nothing good to mouth off ...

Don't Give A Dog A Bad Name

Heard about a fellow blogger's partner's demise and went over to her blog to commiserate with her over such a terrible loss...Alas what did I see? A comment saying her loss was a punishment from God for all the bad things she's done. The commenter went on to say she should go to church and repent...here is what was posted verbatim: "You are cursed... It's gods way of telling you that the way you live your life is ungodly. Start going to church. Repent your sins so that you can be saved." Statements like this makes me wonder if some that call themselves believers actually have a real relationship with God or they are just following doctrines of men blindly! The greatest commandment is love and the above statement does not ooze love in anyway...and as far as I'm concerned, any act that is not in love is against God's will as stated here Jesus came to save sinners not those that think they are righteous and can I categorically state here that as a...

Title-less

Hey blogville... Been a minute since I came on here...just when I thought I will be more consistent with putting posts up, life just had to happen! I'm not going to knock myself too hard, I will just pick up from where I left and try to be more consistent. Kudos to consistent bloggers on blogville...don't know how you guys do it but all I can say is: Well done!!! I witnessed a "development" some days back and I'm determined to blog about it! Will come back to "talk about it" in a minute...Yes I promise to be back!
