Mothers! Teach Your Sons To Be Good Husbands!

Hello Friends!

Raynne my very good friend and colleague just arrived from the UK and came over to Lagos for a conference and decided to stay with me. We got talking about our years in College, family and even marriage (an interesting topic since neither of us is married. Yet).

She made an outstanding statement that got me thinking really hard and agreeing with her. She said that if only mothers and fathers alike would ensure that their sons are taught the responsibility of marriage just as their daughters, we would have less domestic violence and divorce rates in our societies.

Let Me Mourn...

Hello Friends

I have indeed spoken to many good people and even doctors about my pain/grief and they all feel that since I am good at expressing myself in words, I could also get a quick closure if I write. The morning started just like every other Thursday morning. I woke up at my usual 4:am, prayed, slept at about 4;45am to wake up again at 5:am…Not a good routine, but  it works well for me.

My routine of a quick cold shower and arrangements of work stuffs all in one hour, started just as normal with no sign of any impending tragedy…. But I did feel something odd…I just couldn’t get my make up right! This is quite strange as it has never happened before.

It was Tami my sister who was staying at Lekki with a friend doing her Entrepreneur course at the Lagos Business School.

NO GOING BACK ON SUBSIDY REMOVAL??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Hello Friends!

I just couldn't believe my eyes when I came across the headline on Page 2 of the Punch Newspaper of Thursday 5 January 2012 (today).

"...Rising from an emergency meeting on Wednesday 4 January 2012, the Federal Executive Council, insisted that it would not budge on the deregulation of the downstream oil sector and removal of subsidy..."

When My Thoughts Run Wild...

Hi Friends!

Good morning! I actually would have posted this last night, but I think the increase in fuel (and every other thing) must have somehow affected my internet subscription??? I truly don't know.

Last night I got home feeling out of my body....I sincerely don't know how to explain this but the best way to put it, is that I felt I should not be where I am now presently...Like I should be someplace else and in a different environment altogether!

The Year 2012

Hi Friends!

I guess I should start with "Happy New Year?" It is the thought in my heart though...More than a thought actually. A sincere prayer for Prosperity, Increase and above all, Life and Peace for everyone out there...

It might not be your typical beginning as a lot of sad/negative things are currently happening around the world...Unrest, Terrorism attacks and a case in point, removal of oil subsidy in Nigeria! Let's talk about this... No one actually expected it to be this early but here it is! The Federal Government of the Republic of Nigeria, on January 1 2012 removed oil subsidy, thereby causing the increase in fuel price.
