When you don't want to stay, don't give mixed messages, don't let them believe they still have a chance.

Let them be able to close the chapter and move on, there's no need to waste their time and finally do not leave them with a total heartbreak. Be fair, just and kind to others.

We live just once, let's make it a good living.

A Clergyman Will Not Lose Anointing By Sleeping With More Than A Woman.

It's only those that take clergymen as supernatural beings and think they don't have blood and water running through their veins, just  like any other human being will be disappointed and see things differently if  a clergyman sleeps with another woman other than his wife. We are all humans!

We shouldn't get it twisted, if and when a clergyman sleeps with other women other than his wife or have multiple partners doesn't mean he's not blessed spiritually, nor his 'anointing' will leave him. No! The anointing is there, unless he sleeps with a woman with demonic spirits. Even at that, if he's very strong spiritually, he will subdue the evil spirit.

It Takes Two To Keep A Relationship Together

A relationship is over when one or both of the parties are no longer committed. Honesty is essential, it's the number one ingredient to keep a relationship together. You must be honest with your partner and yourself. There should be no excuses; it must be about what you feel and not what people will think. Both of you have to want it. It takes two to be in a relationship and it takes two to keep it together.

Don't Turn Anyone To a Subhuman!

If you cannot make them, don't break them. It takes a whole lot to build what you are trying to break. Even for those that haven't been able to build a profile for themselves, give them the chance, the opportunity to do so; without being crushed in the journey of life.

Alhaji Adams Yinka Nageri's 50th Birthday Ceremony In Style

It's always a peaceful feeling when you come across someone that you can rely on as a brother and a friend even if you don't get to see nor communicate; maybe just once in a blue moon. But there's always a reminder that you have someone somewhere. Many at times is because the person has proved themselves trustworthy and dependable.

Seems Nigerians Are Naturally Patient People

Can you imagine people standing in a very hot sun for an hour or more just to withdraw some money? All very calm about it; waiting religiously and patiently. Even you'll see old friends and family meeting there and you'll see them chatting and well relaxed. Sure they know they have to wait for a while, so they pleasantly entertain themselves with gists.

We Tend To Get It Wrong: Money Gives Enjoyment, But Not Happiness.

I called a pal of mine just to check on him. I greeted him with a hello, he answered with a very low voice, then I asked, "what's going on? Seems you are not fine". He started laughing, "I'm bored" he replied. I started laughing, he joined me. Then, I said to him, "I'm happy I made you laugh, at least you are a lot better now that how your voice was when you answered the phone". He giggled.

Some Boys Try And Some Boys Lie, But I Don't Let Them Play

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

Know Your Audience!

Atimes we are quiet because we need to get the best in us out whenever we're ready to break the silence. Being quiet is just a way to chillax and reflect while we are being active and productive calmly. Life is a college, we learn each day. With experience, we tend to know what to announce and what not to. It's all about knowing the right people to target and connect with on one to one communication. Not everyone is useful for your product and services, not all must know what you are doing or about to do, and not all are interested anyway.

Protect Yourself From ill Wishers And Burglars

Truly some of us are more security conscious than the others. It's not safe to take pictures at your door front, showing your door number; then went down the road to snap another picture showing your postcode and probably the street name, even without the street name, the postcode plus the door number will do the job well. Then you posted all on social media.

"Rest In Peace"

I have read and seen hundreds of thousands of 'rest in peace'; people often think about what happen to their friends and family after death, and not particular about what is happening now on this planet earth that we are sure and know of.

Why just rest in peace, why not 'Live In Peace'? I believe we should be more particular about living in peace than resting in peace, I do also believe that, living in peace will automatically come with resting in peace.

Real Love Teaches Submissiveness

Real love has taught me to be submissive. When you are loved and feel it, there will be no power struggles, you'll be powerless in fights and arguments, but strong in love.

Nothing To Do But Lift My Head

As I lay me down,
Heaven hear me now.
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all.

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun.
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
