I can't believe you are gone
Have you ever cried when watching a movie, I'm sure my recent **article** about a movie I watched for years back really touched you, and I'm sure Rusty cried while reading it, haha, just joking though. https://read.cash/@Cogamedia/i-maltreated-my-biological-daughter-5ae031ae
Today I will be talking about another movie that made me cry back then, I can't remember the full details of the movie but I will just write down the storyline, it's a very interesting movie and I'm sure most of my country's people will remember it.
Speaking about countries, I woke up to the news about Russia's attack against Ukraine and it was so heartbreaking, so many innocent lives were taken, while others are on the street now, their only crime is because they live in the country, the rich ones will fly away while the ones that aren’t rich will suffer there. So heartbroken when I came across a mother and her children holding a board, I hope they end it soon.
Have you ever search for something in your life and when you finally got it, it was taken from you, how would you feel, will you still believe that God has a reason for taking it or you will start blaming God for it.
This is a story about a young man that was living with his brother, he's a student and he has a lot of friends in school, they usually go out to parties and the whole school know them for who they are, they were like the cool kids in the school, the young man has a girlfriend and they all go out parting together.
One day a lecturer was teaching and he gave the whole class a project to work on, he split them into groups, two persons in one group and the young man was hoping the lecturer will put him and his girlfriend in the same group, but unfortunately, he didn't, the lecturer group him and another lady to work together when he heard the name of the lady he's to work with, he was disappointed, cause the lady wasn't attractive all, she wears a sweater all the time, even when there's rain or sun, she also uses scarve to cover her neck always.
No one knows what was wrong with her in school and I'm sure they didn't bother to ask her anyway after the lecturer left the class, they all were complaining and they even slap the guy that the lecture group with his girlfriend, lol.
One fateful night when they were coming back from the club, the young man was so drunk and was misbehaving on the way, the friends left him at the road, even his girlfriend left him, the lady that always wears sweater, saw him on the way and carried him on her car, drove him home, cause their house was kind of few blocks away from each other, the brother of the young man wasn’t so happy about how messed up he’s brother was, so he punished him by taking the key of the car he gave him to be driving to school, now he should be using public vehicles to attend classes.
The young man eyes was clear and he has to gain his brother trust back by facing his studies, he went to the lady and thanked her for bringing him home, they started working on the project together, the father of the lady is a pastor and he wasn’t happy seeing the guy around but still, it’s just a school project anyway, the young man started ignoring his girlfriend cause of what she did, both of them began to bond and the guy began to fall for the lady, someone he dislike for no reason in the past.
He asked the lady why is she always wearing sweater and scarves, she now opened up to him that she has cancer and she won’t live that long, tearing was dropping from his eyes, because he never knew that the lady was enduring all the pains still be going to school even though she know that she won’t live that long, I’m sorry for always making fun of you in class, I never knew that you were going through a lot, she accepted the apology and she had her first kiss from her.
The cancer grew worst as time goes by and she was getting weaker, the younger man was in pain because he has finally found true love but it was not going to last, so he talked to his brother about marrying her, at first he wasn't in support of it but when he realizes that the lady had changed his brother from being a guy wasn't serious with his life to someone that is now responsible, he agreed and they went to talk to the father, he father first asked if he's marrying her because of pity, he said no that he truly loves her, they got married while she was in the hospital bed, they flew her for treatment but unfortunately, she didn't make it.
The young man was in pain, he cried but that couldn't bring her back, he remembered the promise he made to her that if she didn't come back alive, he should move on with his life when the ex-girlfriend heard about her death, she came back to apology him for treating her bad, cause there was one time she approached her and called names that she stole her boyfriend, the young man accepted. He became a pastor and he wore the marriage ring till the end of the movie.
Title of the movie: **A Million Tears**
I would have loved to watch it again, but I'm not sure where to download it, cause the movie is over 10 years ago.
**I will drop the soundtrack of the movie, I love the song and I play it till today. You will love it too. Trust me, you will enjoy the lyrics.**

I maltreated my biological daughter
Hello readers, it's yet another day to be glory God for life and other good things of life, today I will be talking about a movie I watched years back, it's more than 10 years if I am right, can't remember the time though, but when I was reading ma'am @gertu13 **article** about the cat that maltreated the younger cat without realizing they are related, it's a very interesting article and you will learn a lot for it, I recommend you to also read it. https://read.cash/@gertu13/the-treasure-was-found-8f8e851b
I remembered the movie and it was a Ghanaian movie though, it was one of my favorite movies back then and I will like to you share it with you guys too.
The movie is about a young lady that was raped by some group of men at night, I can't remember where she was coming from though, but it was a dark and silent street, she got pregnant afterward, she doesn't have money to take care of the children if they come through and at the same time she was afraid of abortion, so she had no other choice than to give birth to the children she was carrying, yeah, she was carrying twins, girls, they were identical twins.
After giving birth, she took the children to an orphanage home and there was this particle woman she gave the children that she will be coming back, years past and she became, got married to a doctor, she went to look for her children but unfortunately, the woman wasn't there anymore, she started looking for the woman, it was more than 20 years though.
Every day she will go to the place the orphanage used to be and the new occupant will tell her that the woman had left a long time ago, she will now try to ask if they know the whereabouts of the woman, some will manage to give her a bit information to where they last saw her, she became restless and was always on the roading looking for the woman, her husband was so understanding of her.
The woman she was looking for had relocated to the village and some rich couples had adopted one of the girls, while she took the other one as her daughter, the girl was working in the palace of the king as a maid, the the woman had asthma, she finds it hard to breath sometimes, the girl is not always at home because she will have to work at the palace to have money to take care of the mother she know, though they owe the pharmacy that sells the inhaler to them, the man was a good man.
A prince from another kingdom came to visit the kingdom so he can get to know the princess, cause the fathers want both of them to marry, but unfortunately for the princess he fell in-love with maid, the maid was trying to avoid the prince but he’s just too cute to resist, one day the mother was alone at home when the asthma came at her again and she inhaler was at the table, she couldn’t reach out to it quick, that’s how she died, the girl was crying and she no other person in the kingdom, so she left the kingdom, not knowing she was carrying the prince child, the prince went back home and told his father that he can’t marry the princess cause she doesn’t have manners and he also told the king that he fell in love with a maid in the palace, the prince went back to search for her but he was told she left the place, the girl started to hustle and was looking for ways to survive, while the prince was just searching for her, that’s when he came across her twin, he was so convinced that it was the maid, the other girl told her that she is not the maid, so they started dating and he forgot about the maid, not knowing she was pregnant though.
The husband to the biological mother to the twins saw the girl and decided to employ her a maid, the wife was maltreating her and was calling her names, she will just hitting her for no reason, she suffered in the hands of her biological mother, she wasn’t fortunate like her twin sister that studied abroad and she lived a wonderful live cause her adopted parents was rich, they didn’t tell her that she was adopted though.
The princess wasn’t ready to lose the prince and she can do anything get him, he gave the other twin a hell of a life, first she thought she was her formal maid, but later got to realize that this aren’t her made, she went thug after her and they shot both her legs, she was also pregnant for the prince too, the first girl had left the doctor house and she was staying with a friend she knew in the village back then and she advice her to abort the pregnancy since the prince has forgotten about her, she decided to do it and after the abortion, she was bleeding on the way and the friend ran away.
Someone rushed her to the husband of the man he used to work for, while another Good Samaritan rushed the other twin sister to the same hospital after she was shot, that’s when they met for the first and second twins was like are you the one that’s the prince was talking about? They shared their stories and everyone at the hospital was in tears, the doctor went home and told his wife about it and she fainted or so, but she ended at the hospital too.
She was in tears cause the girls is her long lost twins she had been looking for, she was in tears in the hospital and she has been suffering from a terrible sickness though, she reconnected to her long lost daughters and apologize to the one she maltreated then. She later died and left the girls in the care of her husband.
I guess the the lesson is clear and is not good to treat other people bad, we don't know if they are the treasures we have been praying for, just as ma'am ***Gertu’s*** article, the cat will surely regret treating the younger sibling that way.

Villians becomes heroes
***The only thing people love more than a hero is the fall of a hero*** - I won't write the name of the movie they said it but a true fan will surely know it.
Hello readers, how did your Tuesday go, I hope it wasn't as stressful as mine cause mine was stressful, due to the fuel scarcity in my country, I have to walk for some minutes before I saw where to buy fuel, though people were many there but thank God they have a lot of attendants there, so I didn't wait for more than 6 minutes before it got to my turn, but that's not the topic of the day anyway. Let me just go straight in to it.
Firstly I want to ask, why do humans easily forget all the good done for them and focus on the bad the person did, it's kind of normal here on earth, the last time I visited Mars, it wasn't so there, lol, but true though, why do people judge the wrong and forgets the right.
Some people have nothing but good intentions and they are being judged for a little mistake they did, and the one that has been doing bad for so long can be praised for doing just one good. Then the people will call them heroes for changing, I don't mean is bad to change for the better and leave the past behind, it's good but what about the hero that is being dragged to the mud for just one wrong, they will say this has been his or her intention all along, the hero was just hiding under the mask to his or her bad intentions.
I know most of us know Superman and how he has managed to keep his identity secret in other to avoid the eyes of public towards him, So he rather hides under the glass and does the savings without collecting a dime from people, the people love him, though the police aren't comfortable with him because they believe that one day he can go, rogue.
If you are familiar with Superman and Lois at CW, you will see that even his father in law stack up kryptonite in a secured building, just in case he goes rogue and that will be their only option to stop him, I know that he's just doing his job and he doesn't want to put the entire nation at risk.
And the moment Superman was blocking them from taking him a young boy that didn't know how to control his powers, they didn't hesitate to shoot him with a kryptonite bullet, cause that was the only thing that can enter him, he almost used his heat vision on the soldier that took the shot. That reminds me of the above state.
While they are some villains that just save only life and automatically they are being called heroes, These things usually happen in my country than in the movies, sometime last year the president called for the members of a very dangerous terrorist yesterday.
The president said that is a thing of the past and the people should be happy for them cause is not easy to have a sponsorship, As if that will bring back the Innocent people, well, the president also sent them abroad for vacation, when they got back, they were given apartments to stay and also money.
They were being treated as heroes, while the real heroes died while fighting for the country's rights, it doesn't fair at all, but it's just life and that's just the way it is, a lot of people love heroes but they prefer being the villain that later becomes heroes, while the heroes will be laughed at all.
Yesterday I came across a post and read it, two men broke into an apartment and they stole the owner, they went home and check the laptop they stole, when open it and discovered that the man is into child trafficking, so they took the laptop to the police, the police arrested the owner of the laptop, he was sentenced 3 years in jail while the thieves that discover the contents was given 12 months community service. They just did the right thing, doesn’t make super heroes .

First day in the hotel
Remember when I said the article of another day, yesterday, well it's today and this article might sound really funny, but it is what it is, a few days ago bigger bro came to Nigeria surprising all of us, the parents were happy especially big sis, she was so excited to see him, we had lunch together but mom wasn't around, she traveled to the hometown for a ceremony, when she came back on Monday, he saw him and was very happy, he has been around for like a week now and biggest bro does come around too for the weekend, and big bro also.
Flash to yesterday when I went to work and was looking for a place to charge my phone, I had to charge my power bank to 100 percent before I start using it, so I was just moving with my low battery, that's when big bro called me that bigger bro said that we should come over to his hotel room and spend the night there, I tried to decline it because I'm supposed to be in church as earlier as 6:30 am, so he called again and said that I should carry the clothes I wanted to wear along with me to the hotel, I said okay and my phone went off, I had to run to my friend's place if there was light but unfortunately there was no light.
We talked and talked for hours before I left for the office, it was already late and I had to move in fast and pack what my boss told me to bring to the studio, I took the laptop and a midi studio keyboard, I met big bro and we went to the hotel together, when we got there, the receptionist was just smiling at us while big bro told them the room we want to visit, she said that I and big bro alike, I was just smiling and she was smiling too, it's like she smiles a lot, haha. And she's also cute.
When we got there, I was so sweaty and I had to take a bath before we go out to eat, now here is the funny part of it all, when I enter the bathroom I saw the fancy shawer
Image source https://www.tokopedia.com/amp/dhomeku/kran-bathub-shower-air-panas-dingin
It was my first time using it and I was struggling with it inside the bathroom for minutes, it was kind of complicated from the start, I had to find a way to use it by fire by force, I hold the head with my and used the other hand to hold the switch, that's how I used it to bath, haha, I was using it like that till I figured it out on how to stabilize it for me to use it well, lol, that was how I went on the with shawer in the bathroom, it was my first time using it though.
After that we walk out and to an eatery for dinner, they ordered what they want to eat while I just ate rice, bigger bro asked me if I can finish the food given to me because the way I was eating it was like I was already filled up, if only he knew that my belt was the reason I was eating like that, I had to let loose of the belt for me to eat well, after loosing it I did just to the food and I was hungry for me, but I I didn't tell him because he said we are going to eat pepper soup.
We went to the bar and the person said that there's no pepper soup, that we didn't come early that's why bigger bro ask if I am going to eat suya and I said yes, at least it will still go along way, we went to the suya vendor and bought some, big bro said he's already filled up, after buying it we went back to the hotel room to relax, everywhere was so cold, now I see the reason people go to relax in the hotel, cause it's sweet there, especially when you go for the costly rooms there.
I did justice to the suya with a plastic coke I took from the mini-fridge, it felt right, lol. After eating to went to sleep cause I have to be in church as early as 6:30 am, cause of what I carry, I woke up as early as 4 am and engaged in few articles, I take my bath at 5 am and was waiting for big bro to wake so we can leave together, he didn’t wake early and we left the place almost 7 am, the hotel was very far from the church and you will have to take 3 commercial buses to get to the church, that will take a lot of time, so I just used my phone and order for a taxi to pic us, which took me less than 30 minutes before I arrive at the church, my boss was already calling me cause they want to use the studio gadget in church, the time was 7 30am when I go to church, thank God. I will stop here now
***Yesterday being 20th of February was my birthday. The gifts can come in now. 🌚 I accept BCH.***

Which will you choose?
Hello readers, how are you doing, mine wasn't bad at all, I went and came back, I'm not at home now, and it's an article for another day.
Yesterday while I was reading and engaging in articles, a picture was sent to a telegram group and it a the question being asked, it's a very tricky question and I know that a lot of people disagreed with my choice, but one dm me and told me that.
The question goes like this
***If you are given two pills, a red and a blue, the red pill will take you back to 10 years old with all the knowledge you have now fully intact, while the blue pill will take you 45 years old with $50 million chilling in your account, which will you choose?***
I choose the blue pill and one of my contacts message me that what I choose was wrong, that is better to go back in time with all the knowledge I know now and I can start something that will bring me a lot of money before anyone would even start it, what he said was illegal and we all already know, which is a fraudster.
I bet he never saw what was coming, lol. Maybe he thought that I just choose the blue pill without thinking it twice, we chatted for hours, he was trying to make me see from his perspective that at that age he can be a genius and become popular and rich, he further said that as he's a music artist now, his dream is to be rich and famous at a young age, he then said that a 45 years old man won't be able to become a big music star and attract ladies, he made mentions of some young artistes in the industry that girls love.
He was a point though, These are some conversations between us.
He said
True sha..bt for me I finna choose the red tho..
Cause I have a lot of plans
At 45
I ll be too late to achieve my major goal in life.. 🙂
My reply
That's true and not true.
It depends though, at 45 you can still achieve a lot you know, the owner of KFC didn't become a millionaire at a young age, some people became a millionaire in their 40s and they are still fresh like 20s today. While some become a millionaire at an early age and they misused. Sometimes it's not about the age you became a millionaire but how you handle it and grow into a billionaire.
When I say millionaire, I nor mean in naira though 😂😂 na dollars I mean.
He said
Tiwa savage is 42 now
She started at an early age..shes global
E no, get anything wey she never do..
If she stops singing now
She goes out a legend bro
My reply
Like I said. It's all about you handling it well. Shey u remember that kid that sang “zamina mina” the boy made it big at an early age, but where eh dey now?
Jay z that started at 26 is the most the respected rapper now. Though so many laughs ah say he started late.
He said
Bro even omah lay no stRt early.. Tems started at 26 abi 27😂
45 is too much
My reply
These people still have a long way to go, they are not even 10 years on stage yet.
He said
🙂imagine starting at 45
Bro.. E no goes well
And u sef know
My reply
Yeah. But one thing I can tell u is that when you get there, the past years would be history, a thing of the past.
You dey shop online?
I want to explain something in a way for u to understand real quick.
His reaction was like
I explained it to him
Okay, but u have waited for something to arrive before and you will be anxious for it to just arrive, the time will look like you are wasting it that you should be doing something to fast the arrival of what you are waiting for.
Then when the thing finally arrives, you won't think about the time you felt you wasted, cause you will be busy enjoying it, when the time you felt you waste won't matter anymore.
He said he understood it and I further explain to him that “***sometimes the duration of the equation doesn't matter, all that matters is the result. Even if it takes years to solve***”
That's all we ended the conversation, it wasn't an argument though, it was just a conversion on why I choose what I choose. In life is good to have a reason for the decision we take in case we are asked why, some people are not asking to mock you, they also want to know if your reason will be able to convince them to follow your choice.
Which one will you choose?

It's not easy to be a man
Hello Readers, I hope you had a wonderful and stress less day, it's me again and with another brand new one, haha, I just feel happy right now for being alive and also being healthy, it's all by the grace of God, not by my strength, I don't remember the last time I was sick and I don't want to even remember either, came a long way and I have the strength to keep moving on, cause when there's live, there’s hope and we should keep our hopes alive.
Without taking much of your time, I will head straight to the topic, but firstly I want to ask the married couples in the house, when you and your partner have a misunderstanding, how do you people settle the issue, do you settle with together or call a third party to judge it before settlement, third party like the parents or a friend or even your pastor, I will appreciate your response in the comment section, at least I can learn it now for future purposes.
Some women believe that any man that calls the parents to settle them is not man enough to be married, some will even call him a small boy for involving the parents in it, some men are suffering in their home and they are afraid to speak out, it's aren't easy being a man.
And this set of women will rather report the issue to their pastor than call in a family member, yeah, I know that some pastors have good intentions towards some marriages and they can bring peace to the family, but that doesn't mean all pastors has the same heart, because the person is a pastor doesn't mean they are trustworthy, remember no one was born a pastor, pastors do make mistakes as the the average person does.
Seeing how some women respect their pastors more than their husbands is disheartened, you can see a woman backing up their pastors and fighting for them that they aren’t what people think of them, even if someone are guilty of the crime, they will still want to protect their pastor because they are blinded by trust they have for their pastors and there’s nothing you will tell them that will open their eyes.
So the the third party they rather prefer to settle their issues is the pastor, the husband might try to kick against it, but we all know how women are right? They aren't giving up on convincing men to follow their way, haha. A man used to be the head of the home but the woman being the neck can bend them to their will, believe when I say women have the upper hands in a marriage home.
Still trying to understand why some women don't like the mother's law but they do want their husbands to welcome their family with open hands, I think I have written about a girl that lost her fiancee to her junior sister because she insists she doesn't want to marry a man that still has a mother, like what kind of talk is that, how will she feel when all her struggles in bring up a child just end in one day all because one lady told her son she doesn't want a mother-in-law.
The way some pastors preach against mother inlaws is bad, maybe because they have a lot of women in the church and they want to preach what is pleasant to their hears, some pastors will go the extra mile and say that any man that still does things that he hasn't done for his wife is not good.
I read of a story a few days about a lady that is planning to divorce the husband, the marriage isn't up to one year self, the lady messaged a popular internet marriage chancellor and told her side of the story.
She said her husband doesn't want to include her name in his wealth and every time she brings up the the issue, the husband will cover it up with other things, and the husband added his mother name in his wealth instead of her, she's tired that her husband doesn't trust her and there's no reason to continue with the marriage anymore since marriage is built on trust and their marriage doesn't have it.
The marriage chancellor being a wise person reached out to the husband and told him what her wife said, the husband had to explain to the chancellor what happens.
The man said that, the mother is the main reason he is where he is today and she had sacrificed a lot for him, he further said that he has a heart problem and he will be traveling to the US for surgery, he overheard his wife brother telling her that what if he didn't survive it, that means none of his wealth will be willed to her, ever since then the wife has been disturbing him to add her name to his will and the worst part is that she even aborted their few months old baby and she said she don't want to bring a child of this world when the husband refuses to trust her with his wealth.
If it were some pastor that was going to judge the issue, they won’t have bothered to hear the man side of the story, they will just concluded that the man is being controlled by the mother and the wife should come and buy oil and water to deliver the husband from what the mother is using to control them. Haha

It's not a bad day, it's just the environment you stay
Been two days, two whole days and I didn't even write an article, not because I don't have any to write but because of the power supply and me not being able to manage my battery life, I am the kind of the person that likes to use the whole battery in the phone and won't bother to reserve some for tomorrow, unless if I had somewhere important to be and I don't want to put my hope on power supply, no one calls me by the way, only my boss and relatives and it's not all the time though, just when they need to run an errand or ask a question about something, that's why I rather use my battery to be active on the digital world always and sometimes when I don't have data, I will starve to subscribe, lol, food might come later, I hope so, but I have to be online and watching out for opportunities that can change my present state.
In my recent **article**, I wrote on valentine day about an event we were about to perform and end up not performing because they were busy doing other things than calling us to perform, I also wrote about what happened years back about another event that they also called us to perform and at the end of the day we weren't called to perform and I slept outside with one eye opened because I have some of my precious belongings to me, haha, I don't want to hear story. https://read.cash/@Cogamedia/how-my-valentine-day-went-e15b883b
After that day, I felt disappointed cause I was the one that took them to the place but still that shouldn't stop us from chasing our dreams, I saw it as a bad day for me and the guys, I thought maybe if God has given us a sign not to go by stopping us with other things, it would have been better but still, if those things had happened and signs appeared that we shouldn't go, we would have seen it like enemies at work trying to block our shines, haha, maybe we would have started a prayer session to break every yoke of setback that is following us that day.
But still, we have to continue doing what we believe in, that's why I wasn't so disappointed by the one that happened a few days back, I just saw it as another experience and another challenge for me to get better at what I do, perseverance isn't any joke, the first song I hear that word from was from **Through Da storm** by **Polo.G**
https://youtu.be/_AcmyFsSm18
There's music for every pain or happiness in life, this song says a lot and it made me realize that truly everyone goes to something is all about perseverance that's what differentiates the successful ones and the ones that give up on the way, great goals usually comes with challenges that will make one feel he or she aren't doing well enough, there were times things were very bad when I was lost and I felt sad for not living up to what I hope up as I ask myself if I am not doing much enough but on the second thought, something told me that I am doing great and it's not a bad a day, it's just the environment I am in they is messing with my head like I aren't trying enough.
The only constant thing in life is change and it can happen at any minute, that's what I believe in, sometimes greats things do take unnoticed process to change and when it finally change people will be like, this guy just came out of the blue and now he's a star, not knowing that there were times I felt like giving up but then I realize that if I give up now, what will I be doing after giving up, we are all alive for a purpose right and a man without purpose in life is like a walking dead just looking for a grave to stay.
The dreams keep up alive and the challenges unlock new levels for us and also allows us to discover more about ourselves, sometimes I wonder where do game creators get their ideas from, then I realized that they got them from life itself to all the gamers in the house, especially the ones that love adventure games, we all know that at the beginning of the level we won't be given full power to play, but as we make use of the power given to us to overcome every stage, new powers will be added to us to overcome the next stage and at the end of the game, we will have enough power to face the boss and defeat the boss, just imagine if we had just used the first power given to us at the beginning to fight the boss, haha, that means we won't stand a chance.
While in the football aspect, especially those of us that played dream league, we were given few players that didn't have much experience to play with, and as we manage to win each match, they will reward us and we can purchase better players to play for us against the big teams.
All these are life hacks and if I tell you that I didn't know all these until now, you might not believe me but its true, remember. You don't have a bad day, you don't have a bad life, it's just the environment you are in that is messing up with your head, sometimes is better to take a walk and look at the bright side of life, then you will realize there is so much to live for.
Thanks for yet another ride with me, hope you have a wonderful day ahead.

How my Valentine day went.
Let me first wish you a happy Valentine and I hope you had a wonderful day, today being Monday is a workday, as usual, I woke up not that early and I had to rush to work, I didn't have breakfast before leaving the house, I mean the actual breakfast not the breakfast, haha.
I went to work and I forgot my friend told me about a show we are going to attend together, I'm at the show writing this article now and the time is about 7:39 pm, it was in the evening that he called me to remind, I forgot to tell my boss about it but luckily for me God is a miracle God, our generator had a smoke issue and it was drilling the oil fast, we had to take it to a repairer and he told us that the generator will have to stay at his office for him to work on it, so we closed early, I went home and got prepared and I was at the place, it's a mini club, I don't usually go club cause it something else here and you have to have a lot of money to spend so they won't laugh at you in the club, that's why I just decide to stay my lane than for me to do what I don't like.
We thought the show will start early that's why we got there early, only for us to know that they have two birthday celebrants in the house, they called the first celebrant and did some hyping, the well-wishers started spraying his money and some were buying champagne and they pour it on him as a sign of celebration, I believe the champagne will be about 400$ per one, they ordered more than 20 of it just to use it to bath the celebrants, they also spray in a lot of money, the celebrants came with pickers and not just one-two but they were more than four if I count it well, the hype man and DJ couldn't pick a lot of money because the pickers that came with the celebrants was too smart, it almost turns into a fight, aside from the pickers some people will just come to the club to pick money, it is like their hustle, some will even come with a nylon bag for themselves.
I and guys were just seating and observing since none of us are ballers, I was just observing is going on in the club, a lot of underage girls just walking around the place half-naked, one of the hype was my formal schoolmate back in secondary school, he's fat now, and I keep wondering what they are eating, the way he is now is times three of how he was back in secondary school.
After waiting for hours for them to be through with the birthday hyping and all, I thought they are going to call us to perform but they were still hyping the people that is spraying money, that's what they usually do though, they don't care about talents here, they only recognize the people that spend money in the club, now I see the reason most people go into fraud and later go in ritual, they want to be recognized in the club.
This event reminds me of what happened two years back, there was a club that was hosting a new super star called Omah lay, I manage to get the name of my old crew on the performance list and we got there early so we can give the DJ our song, they wrote our names and when it was time to perform they started writing names again, my crew name was at the top before but later they put it at the bottom, few artistes performed and when it was time for my crew, they just started hyping the big money spenders in the house, my crew didn't perform that night, our expectations were cut short, it was already dark and it would be too risky to go home without a cab, I wasn't holding any money with me, the ones that had money lodge in a hotel at the club, while I slept on the chair outside the bar till morning, it wasn't a funny experience at all, cause my laptop was with me and I had to sleep with one eye open and the other one close so I won't wake up and realize that all my belongings were gone, lol.
The system is F up here and you have to know someone very well before they will allow you to perform, either you pay them money or you are among the big table people, I got home at 11 pm and I hope my friend has already gotten home now because we went in separate directions, I was so disappointed again, it was easy outside for talents to blow up, no one cares about music entertainment here unless if you are already a star, that's why they will start hosting you and be treating you with respect, with all I have seen and faced, I hope I don't lose focus on my goal cause the system with mess with your head if you aren't strong towards your ambitions.
That's how my Valentine day went guys, not a special one though but still, we have to be grateful for life, cause na who dey alive dey enjoy life (There's hope for the living)

Valntine special
It was a wonderful Sunday and everything went well, I meant the sun, it didn't disappoint cause everywhere was so hot, though I wore a simple shirt, I still felt the heat and I wasn't a funny one, haha.
Just a few hours to valentine and some people are already getting messages from online vendors that will deliver gifts to them, while others have planned their valentine with the loml, the single ones like us are busy posting memes and saving data to view couples status tomorrow, haha, I came across so many memes and will here some with you.
The guy in the picture is a funny skit marker and he's one of the outstanding skit makers that made it in the industry without using ladies to attract an audience to himself, his type is rare and skits of these days are all about s3xual pleasure now, he stood out and to create something different, he’s the one we call Mr Sabinus, always finds himself in trouble even after planning on how to go about things, he still end up in the mud, haha.
Came across this other one just this nigh and I have been laughing hard ever since, tomorrow is a day that so many couples will lie to their partner that they are not around or they are sick, for them to spend time with someone else, maybe the one that will pay them for their company, haha.
This is one of the funniest ever, usually girls in my country see boxer as the major gifts are like a protocol to them that they shouldn't buy more than boxers and singlet for their boyfriends, the funniest part of it all is that they still see it as being caring enough, like WTF, you won't die if you buy me a laptop you know? Haha, some will definitely faint after buying it, lol.
You guys know how breakfast is being served to everyone youth in the country as a national cake, it's better to be safe than sorry, in this picture, the guy bought a package for his girlfriend and I don't he trust his girl that he's the only one in her life, that's why he told the vendor to ask the question and see what name she will mention, this is being smart enough not to spend your money on the wrong lady, haha.
This hit different on the head, haha, just imagined a girl that has planned on how she wants to fornicate or a guy that has already chatted with the girl as the fornication partner, and then the next thing her menstruation will just start the funny morning, she might feel it is the end of her world, lol, and she might not know how to tell the guy cause she doesn't want to disappoint him, cause some girls are afraid to talk about their menstruation pain with their boyfriends, they believe that the guy might find it irritating and won't want to hear her say it again, well for me I believe that when you love a girl you should help her in ways like this, you should let her be open about her menstruation pain and she doesn't have to go through it alone, let her know that you are there for her in all weather, rain or sun, storm or wind, you aren't going anywhere.
What do you bring to the table? The random lady said she's the table, lol, it's kind of funny but it has gotten to the head of so many ladies that they are the table and all they can offer in relationships is their body, they believe that they are physically beautiful is more than enough for the guy, the guy should foot all the bills while they just dress beautiful and s3xy for him to come, I believe that's why some of them are in a toxic relationship that making they are depressed but still decide to stay because the guy is handling the bills, I came across a video on Instagram when a girl was crying that her boyfriend has used her for rituals, she opened the boyfriend phone and show the chat between the boyfriend and someone, she was crying with the latest iPhone in her hand, I just laugh and pass the video cause it's obvious the girl was demanding too much for the guy and the guy decided to use her for the ritual so he can be buying her anything she wants not knowing that she has already been used. It's hard for a guy to even raise his hand to hit a financially stable lady cause the first thought that will flash in his mind is that he's not paying her bills and she might leave him forever.
This one I saved for the last because a lot of girls will lie that they are going to one place and they will go another place, it has been happening and not all are fortunate to return home, no matter where you are going you should let your loved ones know so they can know in case something bad happens, evil is not written on the forehead of people and the people with bad intentions are usually the ones that laugh with you the most, it's better to be safe than sorry, call someone and tell them your whereabouts so they will know who you with.
Thanks for reading my article today and I hope your memes made you laugh too as they made me, lol. Stay safe and have a wonderful Valentine with your loved ones.

She missed a golden opportunity
Another Saturday is gone, I’m still single, how could this be, no love of my life, haha, hello my fellow single people, the couples get their greetings from their partners, how did your Saturday go, I know it won’t be easy seeing wedding events everywhere and you go, especially in my country, it’s a beautiful day of couples getting together.
Talking about couples, I came across a video on Instagram and I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for the girl, cause what happened was kind of funny and at the same life lesson everyone should learn from, not only single ladies before I get right on it, you all know about some guys usually eat breakfast in public when they propose to a girl and she declines the proposal, I have written about different ones a lot and this one is kind of different
The video went viral yesterday when a guy decide to surprise his girlfriend by proposing to her in a public place, the place look like a Mall or something and maybe they both went there together, I don't really know how they got to the place, the guy brought out his ring and knelt down, while there was paranraran, haha, I meant there was a trumpet guy, people were telling her to say yes, the friends of the guy were holding a cake and some other gifts.
She was just standing there looking him somehow and telling him to stand up, the guy was still kneeling, she told the guy no and the guy stood up to beg her, she wasn't responding, the guy friend joined him to beg her and the girl slapped the guy on his face, everyone was surprised, the friend was telling her that she should have said yes that the guy bought her a car if she had accepted the proposal, she was doubting him and they all went outside and he showed her the car the guy bought for her, what the girl said was actually funny and made up to laugh, she said the guy should have told her that he bought a car for her so she should accept the proposal immediately.
I don't know what will happen next if the guy would forgive her and marry her or he will just move on, well, if I was in the should of the guy, I will just move on because that shows the girl never loved him before and the disgraced he got from her was too much, just imagine her slapping him in public full of people will camera phones, then she just want to apologize because she saw a girl that was meant to be hers if she had accepted the proposal.
We call this “the work of village people” in the country, haha, I know you won't understand unless you are from my country, I will explain what I mean by village people at work, it a
Village people is when someone loses a a golden opportunity that would have been very profitable to the person, like the girl I talk about now, to me she has already lost the opportunity now, maybe she can get something better in the future or nothing at all, tomorrow is not a promise and we shouldn't be too quick to conclude about everything that we see or hear. Like I said in the beginning, I don't know if it is funny or a sad article, but it is what it is.
Just this evening I came across a beautiful video that made me so emotional, I love everything about the video and the boldness of the guy, they were at a stadium watching the game when something flashed on the big screen, the girlfriend was jumping with joy and didn't notice what the boyfriend was pointing at, until she saw the names on the screen and realize it was her boyfriend name that was on the screening asking her to marry him, her reaction was a gold and she was so overwhelmed with joy, everyone was clapping for them as she hugged him and said yes, the video made my day, if only there was a way for me to post the video here I would have posted it for you to enjoy it too, but I have decided to drop screenshots of it and you to see the joy.
Just look how happy she is, she wasn't waiting for a luxury proposal before she said yes to it, that's it for today guys.

A traumatized experience
Have you ever come across death, like you were not the main target but you saw it happens, years back when I was still handling my mom store, at the compound that she rented her store, something happen one night and it causes trauma for us (I and my sister).
I can't remember the exact date but I know it was like about four years ago when the landlord brother was shot in our present, he and his wife were newly wedded couples and he works at a hotel, everyone knows him for being calm and minding his business, unlike his elder brother he has fewer friends and sometimes he doesn't even have visitors because he will tell them he's not around, you don't see him unless he wants to be seen, he goes to work and relax at home, his wife got pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl, the whole family was happy and he did a naming ceremony.
He loved the baby a lot and take the baby for a stroll always while calling her America baby, everyone started calling him papa America, and the wife mama America.
One fateful night, he had a misunderstanding with his wife inside the house and he just walk outside to take some fresh air, he told me to give him a chair to seat which I did, he place the chair in front of a car in our shop and backed the other side, I was lying on the car, my sister was seating close to him but on a short pillar, mom was inside her shop, he fell asleep on the chair, someone just walked to me in the car and asked of him, so I pointed that he's the one seating here, the next thing I heard was a loud sound in my head.
First I thought it was a banger (firework) then I saw blood dripping from his head, I screened and ran, my sister was just lost and she just couldn't move, Mom quick jumped and dive my sister like a goal keeper, the person that didn’t took off and I was calling for help, a lot of was running through my mind, I haven’t hear a gunshot so close to be before, I was scared, I couldn’t sleep that night, my sister own was even worst cause she was seating very close to her, she didn’t eat for days because she kept on thinking about the event, i on the other hand has to be strong not to break down cause I’m a man, I kept on trying things to forget about the experience because sometimes I just seat and cry like is my fault, maybe if I hadn’t show the man where he is, he would have still been alive, but what if the man was to give him thousands of dollars and I said he’s not here, I would have been the one to be blamed.
After his death people started asking questions like what could cause his death, caused they know he's a gentleman and he doesn't look for trouble around, they started saying different things like maybe he saw something at the hotel and they traced him home to murder him or maybe the people that killed him were cultists that came for revenge, cause his immediate younger brother was a cultist and he did a lot of bad things (that's what I heard) so they save up morning and flew him to Europe cause people were coming for him, they had to keep him safe cause he's a family, maybe the people looked for him and later realized that they flew him to Europe so they killed his brother instead as revenge, blood for blood.
The worst part about his death is that after he was shot at his head in his sleep, he didn't die there, his elder brother quickly borrowed a neighbor car and drove him to a hospital, the hospital rejected him cause is a gunshot and they asked for a police report before they can attend to him, he drove him to about 3 hospitals, the same thing, before they could get a police report, he gave up his ghost. So painful and the whole family cried even neighbors too, I don’t know why hospitals still have this rule of seeing a police report before attending to someone with gunshot wounds, cause they attend to the person first and handcuff him or her to bed then call the police to know what happens, waiting for a police report takes time and someone in a situation like that don't have much time. I hope they change this rule soon.
The reason I remember this traumatizing event was because of something that happen in one of the states in my country, a bullion van was hijacked by armed robbers in the middle of the road and gunshots were flying around, two policemen were shot dead at the spot while the robbers made away with the money in the van, motorists ran away from their cars for protection, a man was shot inside his car and there was this woman that was breathing heavily she could have had a heart attack, people began to calm her down. That made to remember what happened years back.
**What's your traumatizing experience?**

Every action has a consequence
What a day, last night was kind of a no sleep for me due to what was trending on Twitter, I had to stay online to hear the full gist so I won’t be left out, haha, it wasn’t a funny event though and I don’t think is a very serious one either, meanwhile that’s not I’m going to talk about today cause I don’t feel like talking about it, on a second thought let me just write about it anyway.
Being a celebrity is not an easy task and a lot of people will definitely come your way, you remember a few weeks back I wrote about a gospel minister that slept with a woman that’s not his wife and she became pregnant, well that’s for that, this one isn’t a gospel minister though, he’s a circular artiste like me, oh not fully like me though, I’m still trying to make way to the music industry and he’s already in the industry, let’s say he’s already a star that shines and mine is still brighting up.
Two days ago I posted my verse of a song I was featured in with a caption “These lyrics are from God” a lot of people love the verse and I have 100plus likes from it, still counting though, some who don't understand the caption was like, how are these lyrics from God when is a circular song
They didn't understand what I wrote so I had to explain to them it in a way they will understand, some people confuse words for other words they instead of them to know about what is on ground, they will just jump to conclusions. The reason I wrote “These lyrics are from God is that God is the one that gives gifts (talents) to all humans, And God also gave all humans free will to use the gifts given to us, I know I'm not using mine for the evil that's why I'm proud to say these lyrics are from God.
Meanwhile they thought I meant “these lyrics are inspired by God” I'm sure that's why they were asking me questions upon, haha, that's why is good to think before writing a caption sometimes so you can be able to defend what you wrote, I know that is only when I sing about God that's when they will believe is inspired by God, though this verse isn't about God, I wrote the lyrics carefully in a way that people will love to hear it.
Yesterday I decided to check on how is performance is going and I saw that a popular artiste was trending on Twitter, first I thought he has dropped his album because he said that he has an album on the way and I decided to check why he was trending, only for me to see that he wasn't trending because of his songs, he was trending because his s3xtape was released on Twitter, though it was a short clip though, everyone was writing your thoughts towards and some said maybe he didn't know that the girl turns on a camera while they were undressed, not up to some minutes another dropped again and this time it was him in the bathroom showing off nak3d, now up to a few minutes another video of him dropped again showing off his treasure, about 6 videos of him going nud3 was released last night, some people were praising him the way he handled the first girl, started writing different things about it and I'm not sure he was the one that leaked it, maybe someone close to him used a fake account to link the videos to the net.
Conclusion
I know that celebrities do make up with different people, but that doesn't mean they should be putting it on camera, on their snap chat to show off some, what if it got leaked someday, it is called private for a reason should be done in private, not on camera, it's only po&nst3rs that do theirs on camera because is their job, aside from that he might lose some endorsement deals from the top company he signed in, people will look at him differently, especially the ones that first see him as a perfect soul will be disappointed after seeing the videos of him. He might have done the videos to sexting some girls but he never knew it will be on Twitter trending one day, every action has a consequence, and is not good to keep what might destroy you alive, at the end, it will serve the purpose. I hope I won’t do worst when it gets to my turn.

Blinded by religions
Aside from our political leaders, religious leaders are one of the biggest threats we have in Africa, yeah, who stone me, haha, the reason they call them a threat is because they are also the reason Africa is like this, Africa has more churches than factory.
Before I go forward, I just want to apologize in advance because you might not like what I'm about to like if you are blinded by religion.
I have come to realize that people listen to their religious leader more than they listen to their parents or spouse, especially the female though, they are always at watch spiritual.
I have come to realize that the people that carry religions on their heads are non-wealthy people, you will see wealthy Muslim men and a wealthy Christian man chilling in the same hotel talking about business, the non-wealthy ones will just be killing themselves because of religions, poverty is usually the cause of being blinded by regions because they haven't traveled the world, they don't even know how life is in other countries, not that I have traveled out of Nigeria too, haha, but at least I have Filipinos and India friends that talks about their country and I do learn few things from them and the fact that dating a girl doesn't mean I should handle her financial responsibilities, lol.
You hardly see the rich fighting about religions, but you will see the poor killing themselves for it, here Nigeria, the Muslims are suffering in silence in the north all because of religions, everyday we hear story of not less than 50 people being killed daily, either from bandit or boko haram, sometimes the bandit will come and raid the a village in the north, pack a lot of youth boys as of the age of 12 upwards to train them how to carry guns and kill, the Muslims hardly talk about it in the news because we have a Muslim president, they are taught not to fight against their person, even if the person is splitting their neck, I don't even what to call it if it's being stupid or foolishness, when we were protesting about #EndSARS in 2020 fight against bad government, only few Muslims joined us in the fight while most of them was protesting against us that they should not end SARS, some of them started to chase the protesters with cutlasses was destroying properties that belongs to the protesters, while the police was just watching them handicap, we chased them and caught some which they confessed that they were given 1$ to do it.
Just last year December, the people of the northern side of Nigeria started protesting that "North is bleeding" we should come to their aid as one Nigeria, why should we join you people to protest when you people were the ones that said the government is good, I don't know how they do things there but I know they are following their religion and they don't care of they are being killed by their brothers.
Another is Christians, Christians are the most populated religions and they are divided into different categories, all claim we save the living God, we have different beliefs on what we tag sin and normal, but at the end of the day, we still call on the same God. Some Christians don't bother to check the bible if what the pastor is saying is true cause most of them have been manipulated by their pastors, that's why you will see some arguing base on what their pastor says instead of checking the Bible to see if it is true, in some churches when one of their members is in the hospital, they will pray and pray for the person but when the pastor needs a car, they will donate money to buy a car for the pastor, can't the same prayer bring car for the pastor? Well, women do respect their pastor more than their husband, there are some things that we can do for ourselves and it works as a church to do it, the reason for me writing about this article was what happened some months back, this article has been in my daft and I never wanted to publish it, but I have to anyway, one of the biggest churches in my country branch collapse and a lot of people died, according to the residents, they said the building has been shaking but instead of them to fix it, they decided to leave it in the hands of the lord, no wonder the bible said "my people perish for lack of knowledge" how can they be praying in a building that isn't strong, the worst part is that these branches are given a target amount to send to the state headquarters every month, that shows that they are more concern about the money and not the people, the people that has died is already gone, nothing much to do.
I hope someday we would realize the difference between serving God and being a religious person in Africa, it isn't easy for people to come out of mental slavery because they are afraid of the wrath of God upon them which the pastor will preach to them in the old testament, I have come to realize that pastors do a select verse and preach what favors them and leave the rest. I just hope we are not being misled by religious though.

I won't forgive him.
Happy Monday readers, I hope Monday is treating you right, I didn't post any article yesterday because I was heartbroken by our power supply company, haha, I didn't expect it, this made me realize again that humans can't be trusted, lol, how many times am I even reminding myself? Just asking myself, one of the issues we are facing in this country is power supply, for more than 50 years none of the presidents has been able to stabilize the power supply, I know that they're gaining a lot of money from it that's why they just decided to leave it like that, like is life supposed to be complicated this way?
Well, that's not my topic of the day though, I will just get a power bank so I won't have any reason to be offline, haha. Now to the topic.
You guys remember the song I and some colleagues did, that I wrote about in this article, something just happened and I have learned my lesson, it's kind of funny but if can take one to jail or pay a fine of thousands of dollars, depending on where the person did it.
Music is an important business and not just a hobby when one has what it takes, so many people see music as a hobby and they just believe that they are doing it because they love to make music, trust me is not a bad thing if you are doing music only for the love, but just know that a lot of people will step on you, well, that's how life is in every aspect though, when you decide to start sharing goods to people for free, some will take advantage of it and you might start regretting why you did it.
That's why its good to know your ground and know how things work sometimes, it will save you from a lot of drama that is to come and also people won't take advantage of you just like that, I know that I a not perfect and I'm still learning as others, the few I have learned I am using.
About the song, we are talking about, a few months ago, one of the **articles** that are on the song messaged if I am through with the song, I told him I'm still working on it, though it has been so over a month plus now, he said I should send it to him for him to listen, I never wanted to send it to him, on second thought he contributed to the song too, that's why I sent the song for him to listen before now, we have discussed that we won't release the song until we save up money to distribute song on top music platforms and also run Adsense on Instagram and Facebook with the song to create more awareness for it, all of us agreed on it. https://read.cash/@Cogamedia/who-owns-the-song-451750cd
I sent him the song to listen to, the night I sent it for him my battery was low and I just sent it for him before the battery went down the next morning, I woke up and found out that he has posted the song on audiomack, like WTF, a song that I am down with, he sent a nice comment to my dm, and I told him to delete the song sharply because I'm not through with it, he asked if it will affect the Adsense we want to run on it, I said yeah and athe side that the song is unfinished, things aren't done that way, you can't just post the song without informing me and the other artist that is on the song.
That's a big disrespect to us, music is a business and not a hobby, you can't just post a collaboration song like that, as long as we aren't paid for our verse on it and I didn't take any more from him for the recording, I did 70 percents of the work and he just think he can post the song and start taking the credits.
If he had done this on a record label or with a blown artiste that has already made the way in the music industry, he would have been fined and paid a huge amount of money because that's like ripping away someone hard work on the song, he might not know this but one thing I know he knows is that I told him I delete the but he kept on posting it and sharing it, he read my message and didn't reply, I kept calm and watch.
The other artiste that is on the song called me and told me that I didn't even send the song to him because he thought I was done with the song, I had to explain to him that I wasn't done with the song and I just sent it to the other guy because he said he wanted to listen to the song, then one of the female artistes that did backup in the song told me that the song doesn't sound well, I also explained to her that it was just a demo that the guy posted and I am not through with the song, I even showed her the chat so she won't think I am lying, I told her that the guy didn't even tell me before he posts the song because our initial plan was to distribute it first, what he did was a betrayal and more than 80 people have already stream the song, song that doesn't sound well. At the end of the day, I'm still the one that has a lot of explanation to do, cause it's my work and a lot of people will thought I don't know my work as a producer and a mixing and mastering engineer.
I hate it when people take my calmness as foolishness, after posting the song again on his status yesterday, he's now asking me how he can delete it for the site, I just snub the message and I have learned mine listen. The damage has been done. It's kind of funny how one person can just spoil an entire plan because of his greediness or should I say selfish act.

Let's wait for the day to come first though.

The cute boy from the saloon
Alright, it’s another day and I'm glad to write yet another article, though this time is not about my approach towards ladies, and it's not me approaching a guy either, haha, I know the title must have gotten you too confused, but it is what it is.
I admire those that always have something to write every day, even if it's about research or fiction story or their daily life or perhaps rant, as some may call it, but still you still have something to write about, it always makes sense at the end of it all.
I was thinking of a topic to write about and I scouted my Facebook feeds to see if I could see anything to write about, I came across some memes and started reading them, it was really funny and I spent more than 30 minutes reading them, I was laughing out loud in my room, I'm sure they heard me in the parlor (sitting room).
After spending more time on Facebook, I saw nothing to write on, though there were so many to write about my brain was avoiding it, I had to avoid it too cause the the brain does the major role in writing an article, while I just move along with what he's showing me in my head, haha.
***Before I start the topic of the day, I would like to thank my brain for being there for me most of the time, it's not easy for him though, he has been through a lot and still kicking strong. A big hug to my brain.***
Now to the topic of the day or should I say story, more like a fiction story, at this point, I will pretend to be a lady, yeah, that's why the title is what it is, let's get right in.
*Valentine is very close, my mates are already posting pictures of what they got from your boyfriends, and using the caption “Valentine gifts came early” it like I'm not serious with my life, just imagine, some of these girls are not even beautiful, I have curve more than some of them, but still I'm not sure if I will even receive Valentine gifts from my boyfriend, not to talk about receiving it late, I'm just tired o, God you are up there looking at me o, don't let your daughter be mocked by her friends, all these packages you gave to me won't go on waste this year, though I have been enduring with my boyfriend for so long, I'm sure I might be wasting my time with him, wait o, what if I'm not he's real girlfriend self and he has been buying gifts for the real girlfriend while I endure with because a few days ago, I came across a TikTok video that says if a girl don't buy gifts for you on Valentine day, that means you are not his real girlfriend, what if I have been a side chic all along, well, better safe than sorry, let me use this opportunity to get a guy that will spoil me with money before Valentine, it's better for me to serve him breakfast (heartbreak) than him serving me, talking about getting another guy, I think I already have one in mind, the one I met at the salon some days back when I followed my friend to make her hair, he was such a gentleman, he’s cute and he even treated me like a queen that day, I bet he's not single but I'm ready to fight for him, haha, cause he's worth fighting for, he's not just cute but he also has money, I have what it takes to get any man of my choice, oh oh oh, now I see the reason God package me this way, me that is full option, the man that can resist my seduction hasn't been born yet, as long as he's born of a woman, I'm sure he will recognize a good thing when he sees one, I can't help but imagine myself with him at a hotel on Valentine's day, I bet he won't get enough of me, haha, before I drown myself in my thoughts, let me call message him on Whatsapp and just tell him that I wanted to check on him, but first I have to changed my profile picture and replace it with a more seductive picture, here we go.*

I can't do it
Have you ever been in a situation where you will start talking to yourself to either do it or leave it, well, I usually have those thoughts when I want to approach a girl and sometimes i will do it and start laughing at myself later for not being able to communicate with her properly, while sometimes I won’t do it, I will just let it slide and start thinking why I didn’t do it, not that I was afraid but I just don’t have the energy at that time.
Today is one of the days, haha, okay let me tell you the story from the beginning.
I woke by like every other day by the grace of God, got prepared, and went for work, got to work and my senior colleague was already waiting for me at the office, I'm the one with the key, so he was outside, I opened the office and there was no power supply at the moment, he gave me money to buy fuel for the generator and I went as a quick as possible, after some time, power was restored, he continued with what he was doing and I was just relaxing and doing random things, just don't know what I was doing sha.
***Quick one: Valentine is drawing close and my account isn't smiling with me at all, yeah yeah, I know that I'm single but that doesn't mean I won't celebrate Valentine, I just want to spoil me a little with your BCH. Drop a tip to support my treat.***
I and my female colleague was chatting at the reception and I was asking her some questions like why doesn't she cook to the office, at least in a while so we boys can eat and pray for her to have a good boyfriend that won't serve her breakfast, she was smiling and she told me to give her the money to cook, she will do it, I looked at her and said to her, so if i give you money, you go take? She legitimately said yes, I smiled and relaxed, haha.
Fast forward to this evening, I was at the studio mixing a song, and feeling it, I have a project on the way and it's a secret though, the only people that know are the ones that want to contribute to it in one way or the other, though it wasn't what I was working on, it feels like I have a long way to go, though I don't see it, I'm trusting God and the process in everything I do, one call can change my life for the better, one email or direct message can still change my life for the better.
I decided to close the office and go home as the time was almost 9 pm, I had to rush home and relaxed, I was having this urge to sleep at the office but I clear it off my mind, haha. I went to a store to buy a detergent so I can use it to watch my clothes as some of the clothes need washing.
This is it right here, remember what I wrote at the top “I can't do it” here is how it went, I went to the shop and met some girls there that also wanted to purchase something from the shop, one was inside and the other was outside waiting, I looked and couldn’t get my eyes off her, she’s black and beautiful with her lips that was calling out to me, she was on the call and I decided to wait a bit for her to end the call, my mind was already telling me to approach her and I agreed with it.
This is the one, so said my heart and I just felt this energy around me like a fairy tale movie that butterflies will be rounding us and magical things will happen, well, I was just imagining it, haha, until I heard her say to the person over the phone “hope you haven’t forgotten the 20k (40$) you promised me” immediately I heard it, my whole imagination fell apart like a broken kingdom, haha. Is as if she knew I wanted to say hello, because she said it loud and clear, that’s when I told myself that “I can’t do it”
It wasn’t only about the money, though it was about the money, I just have to leave go of somethings for now, anything that involves debit alert that won’t favor me financially, I run away from it, I don’t want to be caught in the middle of depression.
I believe it was an angel that saved me from talking to the girl. 😅

The internet kills dreams
Before you disagree with me, can you please hear me out first, thanks for calming down, lol. Before I begin, let me first thank @OfficialGamboaLikeUs for the sponsorship, it's not easy to be a sponsor.
Now to the topic of the day, the internet is a world of its own and we see a lot of things daily, bad news, good news, and the news between bad and good (fair). ***The Internet is like a cutlas given to someone, it's now up to the person to either uses it to his or her way to the top or use it to bring someone down***, a lot of teenagers or youths in their earlier 20s have been doing unpleasant things lately. In my recent articles, I wrote about how young boys are going into fraud and doing rituals so they can get rich easily and quickly. Today I will be talking about the girls now.
In one of @George_Dee recent articles, he wrote about a girl that he knew then, she was working a living and later quit her job, then she started spamming her status with pictures of her in different hotels and so on. It’s kind of common these days and the internet is kind of the cause of it.
Most girls don’t want to work anymore, they easily get carried away by what they see in the internet and believe that their body isn’t made for work, so instead of the working for a living to earn money, they rather chill with the big boys and bring a lot of money home, not all are fortunate to return home, some end up with the wrong people and get used for sacrifice.
I’m not putting the whole blame on the internet, that’s why I wrote the above statement, the internet have done more good than harm and people are the ones making it sound harmful, I have come across some people that don’t have social media accounts and they are happy about it, the reason is that they believe they can be polluted by some things that is unpleasant to them, so they rather keep off than explain, better safe than sorry right?
When you become obsessed with the internet, you will become a liability, you will start seeing things like your mind is playing tricks on you, the internet has helped a lot of people and still helping a lot it people to the top (I hope I become the next batch of people to make it to the top) So is either you use it to build your dreams or use it to kill your dreams, either way, you used it anyway.
It's common to see teenage girls and the ones in their early 20s posting lomotif videos of them in a hotel with either their boyfriend or some guy, sometimes I wonder if the parents are aware of the lifestyle of their daughters, girls that are supposed to have goals that they are chasing and plan to acquire, are now in hotels doing videos, thinking life is all about lomotif videos and wearing matching outfits daily.
Most of them were hard-working until they see their friends on the Internet doing it when they realize that the friend is earning x2 of what they earn in a month, they will start having doubts if the job is worth the stress, as God hasn't punished the friend, maybe is not a sin, after all, I was given this body for a reason and I'm sure is not to use it to work under anyone, my body is too fine to be under the heat of the sun daily, it should be a hotel room with air conditioning to be cooling it down, I deserved to enjoy life too. All these thoughts will be going through their head, they will forget about their dreams and ambitions in life and decide to sell their body.
Having the latest iPhone is also one of the reasons, a girl in benin ones paid transport from her house to her friend's place just to use her iPhone to snap a beautiful picture, haha, funny right, well I'm just getting started. Last year a man lamented on Twitter on how he bought a tailoring machine for a girl (not his girlfriend, he's just a family friend) so she can be using it to make a living because she just did freedoms from where she used to learn, not up to a month, the mother of the girl called the man and told him that the girl sold the machine to buy iPhone, the man was so disappointed.
There was this other one I read again, they bought a laptop for the girl to learn coding, she sold it and bought an iPhone so she can be using it to snap pictures, most girls won’t want to work because of what they see in the internet, they believe that they too can have a relaxed life that they won’t work but just flex everyday, they forgot that those people that is having a relaxed life has already worked to the top and the investment they made is now working for them, they forgot that the internet allows you to see what they want you to see.
One of my contact on WhatsApp posted a quote and it says “Sad generations with beautiful pictures” a lot of people are going through a lot and some just think is them being weak.
Women are making a great impact in society and these girls decide to copy what they called Lifestyle, the dream of an average girl in Nigeria is to have a yahoo boyfriend so they can wear the same outfits and snap beautiful pictures together with the tag “couples goal”
I know of a very brilliant girl then in high school, she was every teacher favorite not because she was the most intelligent in class but also because she's decent in dressing, she was the perfect student every teacher loved, but she isn't that person anymore, she now looks like a lost cause that can't be saved.
Thanks for yet another joyful ride with me..

Special thanks to @officialgamboalikeus for the sponsorship. I truly appreciate it. Big love 💕 💕
Fraud is now the order of the day.
First day of February and is already tiring for me, just found out that we won't have electricity at home for some days because someone use his car to knock down one of the poles by accident, Mom said they arrested the person and he will be in police custody till he fixes the pole he broke, that's one of the reasons I wasn't active yesterday and I even slept earlier than expected so I could wake up early for work.
Went to work and it was something else too, I'm just exhausted right now, today was just like a nightmare to me because my phone was down the whole day until this evening.
In some of my recent articles, I wrote about how some young boys were caught while burning the head of a young girl in a pot for ritual, just because they want to make quick money and buy cars.
This is not a continuation but another article that is giving young boys anxiety to make money as early as possible.
A few days ago, another set of young boys was caught and they were underage (13, 14, 15 years) according to the news, they were brought from Delta state to Edo state to learn yahoo (internet fraud) to better their lives, I guess that is what they must have told.
I was just confused reading it, because those boys are supposed to be in school studying, but are not, I don't know if the parents or guardians know about their trip to Benin, cause some of them must have left without telling anyone while some were forced by their parents to go.
The country is turning into a time bomb and it is just a matter of time before it will explode, kids of now these days are smart and quick to learn, they copy whatever they see so easily and the neighborhood they live in affect them, either positively or negatively, they believe that this is the only way to break out of poverty.
Yahoo (fraudster) use to be a shameful thing and people say it on a low then, so they won't be caught or looked down on, back then yahoo use to be a crime and offenders will be punished by the law for engaging in such activities. But now, everything has changed hand and the people that are not involved in Internet fraud are the ones being laughed out, they see us like we don't want to break out of poverty, there's no place you will look that you won't see them, If you decide to stay indoors and just be on social media, you will see them showing off what they acquired through fraud, if you decided to just be on WhatsApp, you will most of people in your contact list asking for logins of their internet fraud victims, they are just recruiting more and more people into internet fraud and the reason most people are joining them is because of the old ones hasn't been punishing and they are well respected anywhere they go.
If they are in the club, the hypeman always hails them as one of their special clients, the bouncers will be giving them respect as if they are working under them.
If they are at birthday parties, the celebrant won't cut the cake without them showing off, the mc will he hailing as if they are the only ones in the party.
If they are in wedding reception or other ceremonies, the people that are celebrating will tell the cameraman and photographers to focus on them so they will feel special.
If they are not in a family meeting, the meeting would start until they are available, even if they are not the eldest in the family, the family will wait for them to come before anything.
If they are in some churches, once the pastor calls out for money donation to the church projects, they are usually the ones that come out first and the pastor will be praying for them that more money will come from where they used to make money from.
The fact is that these people know what they do for a living but they decide to keep mute as long as they are getting their shares from inside, imagine a fraudster bought a car for one pastor and the pastor accepted it when he knows that the person defraud people for a living, but he just pays deaf ears to it and sees it as a gift from God.
The worst part is that most of these pastors are pushing their members into fraud. In Benin where I live, you will see parents would buy laptops for their children and send them to learn yahoo, yeah, you heard me right, some even go the extra miles to do charm (black magic) for their children to be able to defraud anyone they meet online.
I don't even know this is ever ending, because it's just getting too much and a lot of people have already made up their mind to join and they are just waiting for someone to teach them, I want out the cause is affecting my head too.

At 17 years old
What were you doing when you were 17 years old, I will go first.
At 17 years old I was in my mother's shop helping her to sell her goods, I wasn't into girls back then and a lot of them came my way, they were trying to start playing with me but I didn't give them a response they wanted.
Some of my comrades already have thousands of naira in their account but I didn't even have a bank account then, not to talk about putting money inside, I was kind of happy then, because I wasn't bothered too much about my mates, as long as I see the food to eat, it's fine by me.
As I said, I was jovial back then and feels like the world has a good heart like mine, well, my good heart was broken when my phone was stolen at my mother's shop, it was a traumatizing moment for me and it affected me badly, just something unexpected.
It was one fateful night, I was at the shop alone when an old woman came to buy something, she was ordering almost everything and I was very happy, like who wouldn't be happy to sell the whole goods in one night? Haha, she was ordering and I was bringing it out, that's when some other people came to buy something and she told me to attend to them first that she can wait, she sat on the chair close to my phone inside the shop, after I finished attending to them, she said she forgot her money at the previous shop she visited and she wants to quickly collect it there and I should also bring out more goods for her to buy, I was smiling and I never knew she has stolen my phone, it was after she took off I realized my phone was missing, it was already too late and I was just walking around the street if I could catch up with her, my body changed and it was like something left me, I just couldn't believe it that such an old Lady who's about 65-85years old could steal from someone young enough to be her grandchild.
I felt cold that night and I was praying very hard for her to return it, yeah, God didn't answer me, I act like I was fine and it was just a phone anyway, as days passed I was falling sick because of the phone, it was really painful for me, I wished I could turn back the hands of time and stop it for happening, but what is done is done and stealing doesn't have an age limit, a thief doesn't care about his or her age, well, not until they are caught though.
I remember the old woman that caught at the street that time, she should be in her 70s if I am not wrong, what she does is just walk into a compound, check if anyone is around, if there's no one around, she would use her tool to unlocked the door, steal all the valuables and just walk away like she's leaving her house, it was one fateful when she unlocked someone door and the person was inside the house praying, she was shocked when she saw her and she apologizes that she made a mistake, so she was just walking around the street and she entered another house trying to break the door, that's when she was caught by the street youths, they didn't beat her because she was an old woman.
Someone identified her and they called her children, the shocking part is that her children have money and we keep wondering what is pushing this woman to steal from people, the children were ashamed because this wasn't her first time being caught, they just don't know what to do with her, people said maybe she was a curse to be stealing that's why she's always on the street check house to house for what to steal.
**What came motivated me to write this article?**
Just last week here a group of teens (boys) the youngest among them is 17, while the oldest is 20, was caught for beheading one of their girlfriends for money ritual. According to the news, a security man saw them burning something in a pot and it smells like human part, he alerted the police and they were apprehended, though one of them flee but was later caught, one of the boys told them that they beheaded the girl for money ritual, the police followed them to see where the remaining body was when they got there, they saw the body at the floor with blood all over, now tell me what motivated a young boy at 17 to go into ritual? If not for the environment he lives in, just as I stated in one of my recent articles, they saw their mates cruising on Benz and they feel like a failure for not getting a car at that young age, that's why they decided to do ritual.
Another teen was also caught with a live snake in their bag at a hotel, what could teens be doing with a live snake, when they are not snake catchers or magicians, according to them, they were given to the person they went to meet so they can make a lot of money at a very young age.
A lot of things are happening and a 17 years old is already feeling like a failure in life for not having a car and the latest iPhone or even sleeping in a hotel for weeks, they are being influenced by the environment and they believed that yahoo + (ritual) is the only way out of poverty, the world is turning already.
What were you doing when you were 17years old, I would like to hear yours in the comment section or if possible, you can write it as a prompt.
Thanks for reading and have a stress-less Monday.

National cake
Have you ever found yourself in a position where you know that you are doing the wrong thing but it feels right? I guess most of us must have encountered such an event, whether, from our childhood or adulthood, it still counts though.
After reading @Olasquare recent **article** about how they went out to give to those in need and the unexpected happened, it might be new to some of us but it has been like this for years, people usually call it “National cake” whereby the greedy one's see themselves as the fortunate enough to act smart in looting what is supposed to go round to everyone, while the true ones will be look like dumb people who don't know the coco (have the guts in them) https://read.cash/@Olasquare/fix-that-attitude-6a00613b
Things like this usually happen in Africa and we only blame the government when fissure we also know that we are guilty of the same cry and the only difference is that they did it with the country money and we did it with the things given to us with a good heart.
Like I said, it's not a new thing and it all started when we were children, especially in the school (for those of us that attended public schools) I attended public school from my primary to high school and one thing it thought us is that the patience dog can starve, in other not to starve we have to act smart and grab every opportunity that comes our way, even if it means to hurt others, I have been a soft hearted being since since I was young, though I might act strong but inside of me is too emotional.
Now let me take you to the beginning of how it started
Back in my primary days, government sometimes send us free books and other items, I remember when I was in my primary 5 and my school in three groups, like we are in the same school compound but had different uniforms, we were separated by the kit (uniform).
In my primary 5, the minister of education came to our school and saw us in different kits, he now told the headmasters to merge us, we use to have 3 headmasters for the group and every group has their own teachers, I’m sure is because of the expense in paying them, that’s why they decided to merge us so they can pay less teachers and transfer the rest, the government sent us the new uniforms and it was suppose to be distributed for free to us all.
It was during break time, all of us was called to the assembly ground waiting for the uniforms to be given to us, they started the distribution and to cut the long story short, people stared to rush and everywhere was so dusty, the strong ones was able take uniforms from themselves while most of us couldn’t, the headmistress wasn’t happy about it, so they kept the remaining uniforms to themselves and started selling it to us, uniforms that was supposed to be free for all.
When were about to write our common entrance (Primary 6 examination) The principal said that those without the new uniforms will not be allowed to enter the hall, my parents wasn’t ready to buy for me because I was about to leave the school anyway and no one will wear it after I’m gone because I’m the youngest male child and I’m senior to a female, instead of them buying for me, they will rather use it to buy for my junior sister because she was in primary 3 then, I had to borrow from my neighbor who bought the uniform so I could write the exam.
Another event was when I was in junior high
I think I have shared it here before, but for the seek of some of us that didn’t get to read it, I will share it again. Back in my junior high, the governor of my state then, gave us free books with his picture on it and something was written in the back which says “this book is not for sale” all of us were fully aware that the book was given to us free but the principals and the teachers decided to give it to a bookshop in our school to sell it to us, lol, funny right? They were saying the books to us without even trying to clean what was clearly written there. They see it as their share of the national cake. That’s how it usually starts.
conclusion
People don’t just wake up and start acting barbarically, they learnt it from somewhere or someone and the learning wasn’t for a day, they were observing if those that ones did it will be punished, but as they weren't punished, they see themselves as being stupid for not joining them in the barbaric art.
Thanks for yet another ride with me today. Have a wonderful Sunday 💯🖤

Wealth can't give you happiness or peace of mind
Access to wealth does not guarantee happiness or peace of mind - Dj Cuppy
Good day readers, I hope you have a wonderful and stress-free day, mine was so stressful and I had to keep walking not to fall asleep, haha, sometimes seating in one place can make one bored and fall asleep, it's better to shake the body, I went home early today because my boss went home early too, it's not easy being a married man, haha.
This evening while I was just checking for a topic to write on because my head is kind of blocked now and I can't think on any topic focus, I just keep scrolling through my feed on Instagram, that's when I came across a tweet that made by one of the billionaires daughters in my country, which I wrote above.
When I first saw it, I smiled inside of me like I was about to burst into laughter because what she said is funny, yeah, I know that people will say that it's true and she's talking from experience, which I don't doubt, but the way she put it sound funny.
Like I always said, happiness is based on perspectives, she might think that with all the money she has, she still feel unhappy, because of the things, she needs that money can't buy.
Money might not give people happiness but when you receive a credit alert, you jump up for joy and be happy because of the money you receive, unless if the money is not up to what you were expecting, that's when it will make you sad, but aside that, money brings happiness the person.
Money might not give peace of mind, but it will surely give you the comfort that you deserved, some years back, the billionaire and her daughter traveled from Nigeria to Italy just to buy ice cream and came back to Nigeria that same day, they live in a very big mansion, they don't stress themselves about power supply company because they have 24/7 power supply, they eat quality food and not quantity food, they have a suitable room that fits their taste, they have a lot of money and investment to take care of their financial situation if ever they fall into one.
Forbes magazine said and I quote “Money is not everything in life, but have money before you say that rubbish” lol. True cause, saying money isn't everything is rubbish and that's the trick many rich people use against the none rich and they will believe them, you might think that you have seen it all in life and there's nothing more to see, but when you become wealthy, you will realize that life is as wide as the sky and you can't see it all.
I know that money is vanity, that doesn't make poverty divine, poverty is also vanity, and the worst of it all, it's hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, that doesn't mean a powerful man has direct access to heaven, all will pass through judgment and the ones (especially me) found righteous will enter in God’s kingdom.
When there's money, people will be less angry and embrace love, the reason tribalism and religious discrimination is rampant in my country is because of poverty, yeah I know what I’m saying, it’s hard to see two poor people that has different beliefs vibe together, but the rich people won’t cake about religions or tribe, you will see them acting like brothers, that made me to realize that laws are mostly meant for the power people and not all of it applies to the rich
Conclusion
We came to this life to live and anyone that tells you that money isn’t everything, that person doesn’t want you to progress. Lastly, make sure you hustle right and not be the reason someone go into debts because of they were defraud. Thank you

There's still hope
a lot of things has happened and life seems like it isn't waiting for anyone, I'm grateful for so many things I have today, cause they use to be a dream to me, even if it might seem that a lot of people have already used it before me, that doesn't make it lose its taste, I remember this time some years back when I was working in a betting shop, I leave house 7 am and come back 8 pm, don't usually have money for lunch, I usually divide my transportation money.
Met some people in the hood and we became close, we talk and vibe together, sometimes they buy me lunch and sometimes I buy them lunch for the little I earn, life wasn't that tough but I felt it was okay, it was okay I said, I trust the wrong set of people and got f#cked, don't judge a book by the cover they said, but some covers say it all about the person.
I'm the kind of person that always want to see the good the people even when I know that they are evil, I believe that they aren't born that way, they just got tired of being used by life, that's why they switched position and decided to do what they do, the place we live affects us negatively and we believe that there's only one way of getting out of poverty, which is being a fraudster.
In a city where the top dogs are into fraud, what do you expect the younger ones to do, they look up to them as mentors, when the top dogs defraud someone, they use it to motivate the younger dogs that this is the only way to make it in this society, they have no other choice than to believe because it looked like the only option presented to them and they want to become millionaires in their early 20s, doesn't matter who gets hurt, they just want to be rich and have a lot of money to spend.
It's hard to convince someone not to go into fraud because they will ask you to your face, what other options do they have, I remember when one of them was telling me to join him so we can both handle it together, I told him I can't because I won't be able to, he persuaded me and I had to give it a try, I did it for some months and I had to stop, not that I wasn't able to defraud someone, but because it doesn't feel right to me, I know that I'm destined for something greater and not this, I know that if I continue like that, I will let go of my dreams and ambitions, I know that it's not going to be easy to go the other way, but I just have to go the other way, even when the odd is still against me, there's thing feeling in me that tells me to keep moving and I'm still moving.
Someone of them has changed and they have a whole lot of money in their bank account, they post luxury things and cars that they bought, some even own a house now, here I'm, feeling like I am not doing anything right, I asked myself where did 5 years of my life go, causes sometimes I feel like I missed 5 years of my life, it's not easy looking at myself in the mirror cause it feels like I'm still the same I used to be 5 years ago, feels like nothing has changed like I'm moving in the the cycle of struggle.
Sometimes I do ask myself if truly fraud is the only way to get out of poverty here, then I realized that the environment is messing with my head, the country is messing with my head and they are making it look like genuine hustle doesn't work, they make it look like dreams doesn't come true, I feel desperate but I am trying to myself not to do what doesn't pleases me.
At my age, society makes it look like I'm poor, the 20s are supposed to be the time to build one's dreams and purpose in life, but when all the 20s around me already own a car, it gives me anxiety, I'm just too young to be thinking like I'm in my late 60s, I have a whole life ahead of me but this place is trying to change me, I do need a change of environment.
I don't know how long I can hold on here, but I know that the energy in this place is already piercing through me and it won't be long before it gets into me, sometimes I just feel like staying indoors is the best for me, so I won't see what will make me start thinking negative things, but I have to go to work, every day at work feels like the same to me, like I'm living in a loop.
I had to read some stories about celebrities that I look up to, to gain motivation from them, I know that we might not pass the same struggle but I know that they had something that I have now “perseverance” doesn't matter if that's the only place I draw energy from, I just have to keep drawing it.
Before I left the studio today, I was trying to record but my vocal wasn't encouraging, the generator ran out of fuel and I had to go home, on my way, thoughts started coming into my head and it was telling me not to give us on myself with a simple explanation, which I will write here.
Life is like you going home now, some people that have cars will use their cars to get home quick, some that have bicycles will ride it, some will use the commercial bus, while some (me) will be walking home, imagine this as the journey to our dreams, the ones will cars will get there early, the ones with bicycles will get there but not that early, the ones that enter commercial buses will be stopping on the way but still get there early, while we (me) will be taking steps does matter whether I take little steps or big steps, but at the end of the day, we all arrive home safely, mine might have take longer, but I still got home. **This tells me there’s still Hope**
Thanks for reading this article of mine, I don’t know what to write about that’s why I just started writing about what is running through my mind.

Keep the same energy
“When we were dating, you use to escort me home every time, but because we are married now and you will meet me at home, you don't usually escort me to enter the junction” A lady said it to her husband
Keeping the same energy that you have for your wife before you get married to her is good and it makes her love you more, some men forget how they use to flirt with their wives over the phone when they were dating and they believe that it's of no use because they stay in the house now and he sees her every day.
***A funny story I saw on Facebook some time ago***
*wife: Honey why don't you buy me the gift as you use to when we were dating back then.*
*Husband: If you caught a fish with a worm and take it home, do you usually give the fish warm to eat always.*
What the man meant is that he did it what he did back then to win her heart and now that he has won her heart and even get married to her, he can't be doing as he used to do, which is not right, that means the man was doing it because he has rivals that were also chasing her back then.
Some people say marriage is a trap and it will get you bored, I am not married yet and I don't think about marriage now because I have to work on myself and my future first before I think about marriage, but I believe that marriage isn't that bored as people label it to be, people usually talk from their perspectives and that doesn't mean they are right or wrong, it's just perspective (how they see it)
For me I believe marriage is a dream turning to reality, like you just see everything happening in front of your eyes, the woman you always talk to through phone and wished she was here with you all night has moved in with you, this aren’t something that should bored anyone, it’s suppose to be the beginning or continuation of your happy life, humans can’t explored fully, there are so many things you still don’t know about your wife, spice up the marriage, take her to the club that you use to take her to when you were dating and dating like you were still dating her.
Marriage is not the end of the line, marriage is like a whole new level in a game, you have to continue your mission, take her on a date, buy the sexy dress that would make you want to eat her in public, haha, at least ones in a while taking her to the movies and watch the latest movie together, buy her popcorn and steal it from her, haha, run to the security man for cover.
Go on vacation together to Dubai or Canada, take pictures and update your status with “The only woman that has the secret recovery phrase to my heart” make her feel like you people are still dating, cook her favorite food and feed her like she's a baby that doesn't know how to handle a spoon yet.
Go on tour together and discover new things around, visit ancient places and collect souvenirs and keep them in the room as a reminder of the places you both have been to, organize game night with your wife and win her so she will know who's the man, haha, she will be angry and want you to pet her, you will carry an instrument like a guitar or a piano and sing a beautiful love song to her, even if you don't know how to play the instrument or you don't have sweet voice in singing, just do it, she will appreciate you, women love it when you show effort towards them.
If there's isn't enough money to take her to these luxury places that I wrote, that doesn't stop you from doing it at home, you tell her to wear one of her finest dresses, you will do the cooking and serving as you both watch movies together at home, marriage is not all about having children and training them to grow so they can do the same and so on like a routine, marriage is meant to be enjoyed, enjoy your partner like there's no tomorrow, make spice up your love story, it doesn't end with marriage, marriage is a whole new level as I have stated before. This also applies to the women, treat your husband like your boyfriend and watch as he's going to react with it, wake him up with a hot cup of coffee, and slap his A#s when he's going to the bathroom, if he looks at you, say this to his face “you are too hot to resist” haha, he will be thinking of you all day and won’t wait to get home to you.
A few months ago there was a trend on Twitter and some said that when their wife leave the house to visit someone else, the house feels empty and they will be calling them to come back, even if he’s just 24 hours she has been gone, someone even said that he traveled to meet his wife at their family house and stayed there with her until they where done.
Marriage is sweet when you keep the same energy you use to give when both of you were dating, it feels good.
Thanks for having yet another ride with me and I hope you apply these ingredients to your marriage so it can taste sweeter and to the singles like me, lets not forget to preserve these ingredients for future purposes.

A broken glass can't be fixed perfectly
Good day readers and I hope you had a good day, without taking much of your time. Let's head straight up to the topic of the day.
Ps: This is in no way a judgemental article and all said here is a personal opinion, we good.
While on Instagram, I came across a news about a Gospel minister who wrote a public apology for cheating on his wife and also to the ministry, I scroll past it because I wasn't in the mood to write a long note when my boss and his wife arrive at the office, they started talking about something, I mean the whole band was on Whatsapp group chatting with voice note, not that I was listening to them though, but I just listen for a bit, which made me return to the news of the gospel minister that committed adultery.
***According to him, they met in late 2021 at his trip to USA, one thing lead to another and the spirit of fornication came over, which he couldn't resist because the spirit was strong but the body was weak.***
**Source** https://www.instagram.com/instablog9ja/p/CZKB09xsBlL/?utm_medium=copy_link
The lady said she won't remove the pregnant, she has asked nothing of him and the only thing she needs from him is his respect. What my boss and his wife were arguing about is that he shouldn't have opened it to the public, knowing fully well that he's an ambassador of Christ and this news will make so many non-believers think that they all are the same, though I agreed with them I still think there was a reason he opened it to the public himself rather than people hearing it from someone else, which will be evil worst because they will add more things to it that he didn't only commit adultery, the woman he committed it with was pregnant and he neglected the pregnancy for she to care for it alone.
I remember back in the days, when we do something wrong and we know that our parents are going to punish us for it, we will be the first to let them know about what we did so the punishment will be less than they found out themselves, that's a strategy that he used.
Though some people believe that the reason he came said it to the media was that it was out of his control, I went through the comment section to read people's thoughts towards it and some of them were saying why didn't he use protection and so on.
A broken glass can't be fixed and the wife will be so heartbroken right now, I heard she hasn't been able to give him a child ever since they got married, just imagine the trauma she must be having now, it not going to be easy for her to trust him again, it's supposed to be for better for worst and as a Gospel minister, people are looking up to you in faith and this selfish act has already caused so many people to backslide.
I don't support abortion because he's a full-grown man and he should know that there are consequences to his actions, even if this was the first time he cheated on his wife, that doesn't matter because with great power comes great responsibility, he should have remembered that before coming adultery.
Conclusion
It's not easy to remain faithful to one spouse for the rest of one's life, it takes more than being spiritual to overcome temptations, just like my recent article stated about moving away from bad energy, same goes to this, Joseph didn't stand and speak in tongues when Potiphar wife tries to seduce him, instead he flee away from her because he knows that if he had stayed, his body won’t have resisted her for long and he also did it because he don’t want to commit secret sins against God. Human fears humans more than they fear God. That’s why we still commit secret sins, knowing that God sees us but we still do it because we haven’t been caught yet.
***That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed reading it. Flee away from temptation if you don't want to do it before the body becomes weaker to resist it.***

Stay away from bad energy
Do you know that they are negative energy and positive energy? Have you ever told someone about something you were expecting and after telling them, the thing didn't get to you, I know you might see it like is normal and I am being too Africa that believes everything is caused by village people (witches and wizards)
**There's a spirit in a man and inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding**: Job 32:8
This verse tells us that everyone has a spirit in them and the inspiration of God giveth them understanding, let's see the meaning inspiration, inspiration means the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
To be inspired, one has to open his or her heart and mind to accept first, which means some people don't open their minds or heart to accept inspiration, they just want to live their lives like there's no end to it.
Everyone spirit can't agree with yours, even if you try hard to force it to work, you will realize that it wasn't worth it, the kind of people you move with matters a a lot, you might be saying “they can't kill my vibe” because God said “He shall prepare a table before our enemies” that doesn't mean you shouldn't stay away from toxic people that doesn't match your energy.
According to ma'am @gertu13 recent article when she talks about we knowing the right thing to do but we refuse to do it and keep telling the same problem to people after they have given us the solution. https://read.cash/@gertu13/a-good-advice-e28aa200
In Africa, people who have plans to travel out usually keep it secret until they are there you will start seeing their posts on Facebook and other social media, some friends will be angry at them for not letting them know and that shows that you don't trust them well enough to keep your secret or you think that they will bewitch you not to travel out again, but sometimes it's not all about us all the time if we look at their from their perspective, we will realize that they did the right thing and it was better than for their plans to fail.
Bad energy can destroy everything in seconds and we don't have to accommodate them to show how strong we are under pressure. When Christ wanted to hail the blind man, he took him far away from the city and people before he could do his miracle, some people might think that he just did it there because there was no sand in the place he took him from, but that's not it, the reason Christ took him away from the city and the people is that they were people among the crowd doubting him and was waiting to see how he will do it, Christ knew the powerful effect of negative (bad) energy, that's why he moved away from them.
Another is when Christ went to resurrect the little girl that died in her sleep, when Christ got there, he saw so many bad energy in the room of the girl, he first of tried if he could convert the energy to good one by saying “she’s not dead but just sleeping” the people was doubting him, that’s when he told them to leave the room before he could resurrect the girl. If Christ could move away from bad energy before he can perform some certain miracles, why do you think you can do it in the middle of bad energy?
Bad energy isn't far from us and some people don't know that they carry bad energy until the people around them start suffering it, yesterday Sunday, our national team was kicked out of the AFCON (Africa cup of nation) and the whole country wasn’t happy all because of the president that called to commend them before the match started, our national team have been unbeatable since the tournament started but after the call, they lost the match and got knocked out, the entire country was in pain.
I know you might want to ask, How did the president call caused the team to lose, it might not be his fault but I'm sure is because of his bad energy, there's this strong boxer named Anthony Joshua who has been an undefeatable champion for years now, last year he visited the president in his office and the president prayed for him consigning his coming fight, the guy lost the fight as if he wasn't prepared.
Conclusions
People with bad energy might act kind and even pray for us to be victorious in everything we do but those are just words and are the energy that counts not the word. I'm not calling the president a bad person but I just know that his energy always causes chaos everywhere he enters.

Solace is about to launch, don't miss it
Today is the day of joy and I know that we shall all rejoice and be glad, before anything let me first confess my sin of going late to church today, I slept at 3 am because I was working and I set my alarm to 5 am and hoping I would wake up and prepare for the church at that time, more like a 2 hours sleep, time ran so fast and it felt like I slept for just 2mins before the alarm woke my up, I can't take it anymore, I turned off the alarm and sleep again, my body was so weak, haha, I woke up at 7 am and was relaxing in my body to gather strength, the time was 8 am before I stood up and went to take my bath, I was supposed to seat close to the instrumentalists but due to my lateness, I just sat at the back among the congregation, I can't remember the last time I sat there during Sunday service.
Today is the day and I hope you all can join us in this wonderful project, I'm talking about **Solace**
The long-anticipated Online Worship Experience is here and we shall kick start at 4 pm (WAT) is going to be an encounter with the Creator of life, an experience you will live to remember, last year Solace was good and this year is going to be better, the stage is set and the backup singers are ready, the instrumentalists are prepared and the lead vocal is burning for Christ.
Solace is a place of peace, a place of comfort, where those that are troubled with one or two things run to and find POM (Peace of mind) are you troubled? Do you feel like life hasn't been treating you right? Have you been heartbroken and you feel like giving up already, come worship with us online and feel the presence of God and find peace, two hours of your time can change your life and perspective forever.
Here are the links and do join us at **Facebook**, **Instagram**, and **YouTube** https://www.facebook.com/david.igeleke https://instagram.com/davidigeleke?utm_medium=copy_link https://youtube.com/channel/UCCHSuRs4j1IHJCkmS2Q7ukQ
Have you ever felt like you are doing the wrong thing while doing the right thing? Especially when it comes to lending money to a friend? Ma'am @Lhes posted an article about how some friends and close neighbors of hers borrowed money from her and they will just forget about it, it has happened to me several times too and few will manage to pay back after begging them to pay for months. https://read.cash/@Lhes/the-hidden-meaning-of-how-are-you-6f6a66a1
I don't know why some people are just like that but if I borrowed money from someone, I won't be comfortable until I pay the money back, unless I borrowed airtime from network providers, lol, I will purposely delay it.
Borrowing someone money is very hard now, especially if you are to borrow female friend money, they will be expecting you to say leave it and if you don't say it, they will tell you themselves that “don’t you know when a lady asks you to lend her Som money, she meant you should dash her the money and not to ask of it again” haha, funny but true, I remember an encounter with this lady that told me to borrow her money, I didn't reply her message, not because I don't have to borrow her or so, but some times what they need the money for is irrelevant, like how can you borrow money to go out and flex? Shey I dey forbid flexing too? Haha.
Conclusion
Some people believe that when you lend them money, that means you have more than enough in your account, so they take it as their national cake that's why they just act as if they don't owe you money, sometimes good people are taken for granted for having a good heart, in other not to regret some being good, you just have to let some things be and learn to say **No** when sometimes, don't cross an ocean for someone that can't pass two blocks for you, I know most of us give because we believe that it will come back to us in an unexpected way, we have to learn to act smart and not look like a fool for being good and kind-hearted.

He deserves death by firing squad
Good day readers, it's Saturday and I hope you have a stress-less day, I also hope mine won't be that stressful, I will try to spend most of my time sleeping, maybe because of the all-night rehearsal. Without taking much of your time, I will go straight to the topic.
When we were kids, our parents usually tells us not to follow strangers, or take money from or even answer them when they call us, as a safety protocol us, though sometimes we disobey them and do what they asked us not to we were preserved by the mercies of God.
Today on Twitter, I came across a trend #justiceforhanifa, I decided to check it and what it was about, that's when I saw a beautiful little girl picture with RIP, I became anxious to know who will have the heart to kill this beautiful girl that was not even up to 10 years, what is her crime?
According to the news, little Hanifa was kidnap by one of her teachers for over 40days and the the kidnapper demanded 6million naira ransom (about 14k$) the kidnapper kept the girl in his house, where he stays with his wife, the family was looking for the money and investigation was also carried out on the whereabouts of the child, the kidnapper kept the family update that their daughter is still alive and the family paid the money, the kidnapper usually give the girl phone to speak to her family and the girl mentioned that she's with one of their uncle in school, they started investigating the school and some of were suspecting the teacher, so they sent one of the teachers to go check on this particular teacher when he realized that one of his colleagues came to look for him in respect of the missing child, he poisoned the child with rat poison, slaughter her in pieces and went to burial her in a school compound, after they caught him, he took them to the place he buried the child remains
Remember the statement I wrote at the top when I talk about kids, not following strangers, this person wasn't a stranger but a teacher in the little girl school, what was a crime, this is so heartless of the teacher.
The worst part is that the teacher has a daughter that is about 2 to 4 years old, we have to be careful about the whereabouts of our kids because a school is supposed to be a comfortable place for kids to learn and be loved, not the another way round.
Evil intentions are not written on the face, this teacher wrote a lot of good things about himself on his Facebook bio about being caring and good, which shows that Facebook bios are fake and people just put it there so they will look good to the media, they just feel like it will attract more people to them.
They interviewed the teacher and asked him about of question, which he replied, the family of little Hanifa will be mourning their loss now in pain, kidnapper should be persecuted and if I was to pass the Judgement, it would be death by firing squad, because what he did is far worst than armed robbery, the wife shouldn't be left out either because she was fully aware that a girl was missing and she decided to keep mute, though she knows that the girl was being held in their house, I don't think she has any excuse what so ever if she had put herself in the shoes of the late miss Hanifa mother, I'm sure she would have run mad when she held the news of her daughter being slaughtered and buried after the ransom was paid in full for her release.
The heart of a man is wicked and no one knows what is running in the mind of his or her neighbor. The private school has been closed for now.
There was this comment a Twitter user said about government should be investment these private schools before they approved them and also let them be watchful of their students and the kind of teachers they employ to teach the children, some private schools are so desperate to hire a teacher without a degree and most of them are not good in handling kids. Let's be watchful of our kids and remember that the only comfortable place for your kids is your hands where you can see them.

My Wednesday night
Wednesday was unplanned for me, Boss came to the studio at noon and did a few jobs before the fuel in the generator run out, since it was already late and he had a rehearsal with his band and singers, concerning the online worship the project they have been working on since, it's finally and close by and it's this Sunday at 4 pm WAT, I will like to specially invite all of you to join us on the online worship program, it's going to be streaming live on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. https://youtube.com/channel/UCCHSuRs4j1IHJCkmS2Q7ukQ https://www.facebook.com/david.igeleke https://instagram.com/davidigeleke?utm_medium=copy_link
He asked me to join them in the rehearsals, though I am not a singer, I will just be there to monitor things and also enjoy good melody sound from them, feels good, haha. When I go there at 9 pm and they have not started because some were still on their way coming, so we waited for them and as we were waiting, I was very hungry, the street is very dangerous at night and some people are afraid of coming out at the night, well I have to take the risk or I might just faint in the church, lol.
I went out and I planned to buy noodles and eggs, which is about (2$) but my pocket whispered to my ears and said, hope you know you don't have a lot of cash, how will you go home tomorrow? I thought of it and just let that slide, for now, I went to buy a bottle of Coke and bread for the night. While we were there, Super Eagles gave us joy by defeating their opponent 2 goals to none, everyone was happy, not only because we won them but we put them in shame after they made it known to the public that they will rather die than lose to us.
Haha, I don't think they are going to kill themselves now, they still going to try next time and hope it gets better for them. One thing I have learnt for this is that person who usually talks a lot has no strong intentions to deliver all that they have mentioned, some people will just put fear in our mind that they can beat but when we let it get into our head, we will be vulnerable to them, but if we keep our faith alive and believe we can beat them, we will do it.
Skip to the rehearsal, after few hours of waiting, the band was completed, except for my boss wife who is not feeling too well, it hurts her a lot that she was calling the husband to know how they are going, we kick start the rehearsal, the singers came first, they were divided into two groups.
They were 6 singers and was split into 3 groups, The Auto singers, Soprano Singers, and Tenor Singers, guys were the tenor singers while the women were both the auto and soprano singers, the band was a blast and they were dropping vibes on vibes, at a point I had to stand up and listen to them very well to learn.
They have great voices and you can tell that they are professionals with the way they handle their notes very well, at a point I was wishing to be a singer so I can join them and felt the joy in singing, they sang a lot of songs with passion and Boss was in the spirit, haha, he indeed enjoyed it.
The Instrumentalists are another set of good and bad guys, haha, normally they are good but the reason I said they are sometimes bad is that they can turn any song to groove and you will be carried away by the sweet sound come from it. You can tell ffrom the picture they are all guys. We have a guitarist, a drummer, two pianists and one bassist.
We rehearsed until almost 4 am and a lot of us were already feeling sleepy, I went to the big bro house to take my bath and went directly to the office where I have been since morning, my body need rest and I haven't slept after the rehearsals. Thanks for stopping by.
Special thanks to @Lucifer01 for sponsorship renewal.
