BATTLE WITHIN.

  I was reading the Bible one evening and I came across this passage in Romans 7:14-20, and it says " we know that the law is spiritual but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what i do, for what I want to do, I do not do, but what i hate i do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I know that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer i myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For i know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For i have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For i do not do the good i want to do, but the evil i do not want to do - this i keep on doing. Now if i do what i do not want to do, it is no longer i who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it".
  Now let's forget the grammatical expressions and the religious aspect of it, what interested me, was the fact that as humans, mere mortals of this earth, we are not originally designed to do good. Not because we can't, but it is easier to do the opposite of what is right. Sometimes we find ourselves in conflict concerning right decisions to make. We know that when we are hurt by people, forgiveness and letting go is the ideal religious thing to do but that sometimes is like hardest thing to do.
  Giving, self control, sincere love, forgiveness are some of the hard morsels to swallow completely as humans and sometimes we really shouldn't beat ourselves up over them when it doesn't come naturally or when it's a constant battle. The only thing we can do is to continue to make efforts to do the right that we are meant to do and be the humans we meant to be, and that is to make mistakes sometimes.

MR. NOBODY!

For all the people who remember Mr. Nobody.

I know a funny little man,
As quiet as a mouse
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybody's house.
There's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr Nobody.

Tis he who always tears our books,
Who leaves our doors ajar
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar
That squeaking door will always squeak,
Because of this, you see
We leave the oiling to be done
By Mr Nobody.

He puts damp wood upon the fire,
So kettles cannot boil
His are the feet that bring in mud
And all the carpets soil.
The papers always are mislaid
Who had them last but he?
There's no one tosses them about
But Mr Nobody.

RE-LIVING MACMILLAN.

I loved it everytime my class teacher asked us to bring out our MacMillan English textbook, popularly known as "reader". The passages were always interesting with interesting characters every school year, from Ali and Simbi, Agbo, Mr Salami, Edet and so on. But what made MacMillan interesting and popular, where the characters.

TROUBLE

The delicate nature of a flower
The gentleness of a sheep
The submissive woman in power
All qualities i seek to keep
However in my thoughts, i seem to act
The roaring of a lion
The scratching of a cat
Spitting of the cobra
I long for the softness from within
Without exhibiting undue calmness
The struggle and growl invades me
And leaving me with a sad face
And certainly i will return from that place
Without which i will fall deep into my fears
I must therefore keep watch and take care
For the trouble within refuses to go beneath

BREASTS ARE US.

Bazongas, boobs, tits, whatever you call them, they are an interesting set. Girls love them and guys love them more. They start off aesthetic, help in the nourishment of a baby and later on become unimportant. Here are some interesting facts about the girls. Did you know that....
1. The largest breasts are 38kkk. Imagine how insanely huge it would look 😱.
2. Breast milk taste better than cow's milk due to the high amount of lactose. Hmmnn.
3. Breastfeeding changes the way a mother's brain works. It makes the mother more attuned to her own child's crying.
4. Some women can achieve orgasm from nipple stimulation alone.
5. Breasts are more fraternal twins than identical (the left is slightly bigger than the right).
6. Breast sizes are not static. They gain and lose weight too due to pms, periods, pregnancy.
7. Among primates, only humans have breasts permanently, other primates grow breasts for feeding their young.
8. The most common bra size around the world is a B-cup.
9. There are different types of nipples too.
10. Men find boobs more sexually appealing than any other part of a woman's body.

DISNEY'S TWISTED PRINCESSES.

As we all know, Disney princesses are sweet, lovable and beautiful. Over the years, different artists have done different re-imaginations of Disney characters. They change them from adorable to whatever imagination of the artist. This particular re-imagination is about Disney princesses as sick, twisted and demented. I love this particular one because it shows the total opposite of our lovely princesses, don't get me wrong I love my Disney characters but this is just crazy. This series includes Rapunzel, Belle, Pocahontas, Cinderella, Ariel, Snow White, Esmeralda and Jasmine.

RANDOM QUESTION CORNER

  Yes its back, random question corner 😁. "If you had super powers, what would it be and what would you use it for"?
  I would like telepathy because am just curious to know what people really think about. For my selfish interests though, hehehe. What would you want for a super power?

LUCK!

   I was watching Tv on Tuesday and a man made a statement about people who work hard and are successful have Goodluck and people who work hard and are not successful have Badluck. And I realized that some people and some religions such as Hindu attribute success to luck. At some point, I was beginning to agree to the luck theory especially when things around just looks like luck enhanced . But should it be a criterion for success as some people put it. Yes, not all people who work hard are successful and not every successful person attributes his success to hard work. Does luck contribute to the good things in life or is it just timing.
  I feel that everything in a person's life isn't luck but destiny. Some things are just predestined to happen no matter how much work is put in. Success should not be attributed to just luck and hard work but in grace and destiny. Most religions believe in a supreme being, creator who oversees our lives, one who dishes out judgment on d unjust, provides for the needy, protects the defenseless and gives grace to all. Believing in luck means discarding the Supreme being that has control of our lives. Luck is for petty thiefs and crooks 😒. Don't stop working hard and don't stop trying and believing.

FUNNY PICTURES TAKEN AT THE WRONG TIME.

Whenever pictures are taken, we tend to know the angles that makes us look photogenic. Now there are times when a picture is taken and we are cut off guard or its taken at a wrong angle and we just look God awful.
Celebrities look amazing in pictures, hair and make up and all, smiling most times at the camera. Imagine celebrity pictures taken at a wrong angle, the result is hilarious.

NAIJA PALAVER

In a country like Nigeria, electricity and water is like one of the three basic needs of a human being.
Electricity as we all know is a big problem we are still fighting today, before generators became a basic need in homes, kerosene lanterns and candles were always in abundance. Candles and matchboxes kept in packets in preparation for the inevitable blackout. "Tapping light" was also no big deal, a wire connecting from an apartment with electricity to another apartment with no source of power was all that was required. Years later, light situation got worse and generators came to stay, from the small "i pass my neighbor" generator to generators of bigger and higher capacities, and if you have a bigger house with money to spare, a power plant is right for you.
The need for electricity has increased so much, some people even have two generators ( one for day and one for night). "UP NEPA" is also added to a toddler's early learning experience. As of now, inverters are reigning supreme, imagine, extra power for when "PHCN" and the generators are not enough. And with our humid weather, electricity to rotate your fan for breeze is necessary. That feeling when one is watching something interesting or ironing, charging your phones, enjoying the cool breeze from your fan or A.C and then.... Viam!! Just like that everything is off, the sigh of "Ah, NEPA" comes after with a hiss to follow or the way round. In less than a minute, the whole neighborhood is roaring. In smaller towns everywhere stays dark, blank and quiet.
Clean water is another interesting need in the lives of Nigerians, humans in general. Electricity goes out and people find an alternative to the problem but without water, u practically can't do anything. Whether it's to cook, clean, bath, drink, wash or even brush your teeth. The "ultimate search" for water begins. In areas where "mai ruwa"(water sellers) are prominent, they are gods for the time being. People hustle to get them and some go as far as taking down their numbers and putting them on speed dial. As soon as water is available, every bowl, bucket, basin, jerrycan and drum is filled to the brim. Water management skills come to play especially when its hard getting it. As for certain areas where people pay to fetch water, blows are sometimes exchanged, clothes torn, buckets broken when the queue is disrupted.
Fela wasn't joking when he said "water, e no get enemy". Water and electricity are both different in functionality but are also needed together for cities to function the way they should especially in our country Naija.

LADIES, SHAVING YOUR "VAJAYJAY" COMPLETELY MIGHT JUST BE A BAD IDEA.

These days, everyone seems to go hair free down there. We all want to look smooth and look perfect in an underwear or swimwear or nothing at all, thereby throwing away the God given hairy look. Well there is a reason why God blessed us with that abundance.
First, the pubic hair acts as a cushion against friction that can cause skin abrasion.
It also protects bacteria from getting to close to our privates and reduces the level of infection.
Removing the hair completely regardless of what weaponry u use, razor, shaver, wax, depilatories etc causes irritation and tiny tears in the skin that can be an entry for infection.
All that said, if you prefer to go bare down there, just mow it a few inches. Better safe than sorry 😁.

HOW COLOURS AFFECT OUR SOUL(CLOTHING-WISE).

No doubt, we all agree that colours have a way of changing our mood, our reactions to things, influencing sleep and relaxation and giving out emotions. Here are some colour suggestions for people with different personalities.
WHAT COLOURS TO WEAR IF YOU ARE STRONG AND POWERFUL.
If you have a strong, solid and powerful personality with a zeal for challenges, experts advise wearing colours such as dark blue, red, black.

WHAT COLOURS TO WEAR IF YOU ARE MORE SENSITIVE.
If you are more sensitive and sentimental, subtle shades of pink, coral, light blue, purple or white will work wonders for you.

WHAT COLOURS TO WEAR IF YOU ARE BALANCED AND CALM.
If you are well grounded and peaceful, shades of brown, orange, olive green and beige work best for u.

WHAT COLOURS TO WEAR IF YOU ARE TEMPERAMENTAL.
If you are identified as a cheerful, energetic and exuberant person, sparkling colours like yellow, scarlet, green apple will definitely uplift your spirits.
Of course, all these doesn't generally have to follow but knowing what suits you helps. No matter the stress and hardship of everyday living, we can't argue the fact that colours especially certain colours sometimes affects us. Our personality reflects on the colour of clothes we wear, shoes we put on, paint in our rooms, cars we buy, the list is endless.
Colours makes us happy, everywhere we go, the world is like a rainbow, putting on a beautiful show. Live happy, live colours.
