The maid 1st May 2022 Wendy is a single mother,she has a very close friend that they talk and do things together,Wendy is not married,she got pregnant through one night after meeting a guy at a club,she was drunk,after she lost her parent and siblings in a ghastly car accident,she was the only one that was left because she wasn't around then,she thought her world has come to an end but didn't know she will experience another heartbreak and that's her pregnancy,her friend gift also is an orphan so both of them are always looking out for each other. They live in the same place, Wendy has been looking for job but gift already has one,so she is the one taking care of all of them. After writing an application to gaslow enterprises,she got an email from them after a month saying she should resume work as a maid at the house,she was happy because she knew she might not see any vacancy because of her certificate. She was happy and forgot to pick her son from school,her five year old son named David was given birth after an encounter with a man she didn't know at the club that night,it was a shock to her when she saw that she was pregnant but now that is the only joy she has,she doesn't joke around with her son,she loves her son so much because after she lost her family,she thought that is only person left for her. Her friend had to remind her that she hasn't gone to take her son from school,she was surprised she forgot her son in school,she quickly rushed to the school and there her son has been waiting for her,she apologized for coming late and took him home. Getting ready for her new found job,she started preparing for it. Mike's in Mike is seen in his house shouting at his maid.mike is the chairman of gaslow enterprises son,he arrogant and rude. What is wrong with you? Don't you know what to do again,you don't know how to prepare a simple meal,mom I think this maid needs to be fired",Mike said in anger trying to put himself on his wheelchair How many times are we going to fire your maids,this is the tenth time in 5 months,what is wrong with you,why can't you take things easy". His mum said trying to help him sit on the wheelchair I just want her to be fired I don't need her anymore,I need a new maid,a new maid mom!! He shouted back at his mom . She gave in to his request and ordered for a new maid, already there are maids on the queue to be appointed,but wendy was appointed to start work the following week. Will he stop firing maid in the next episode? Are they familiar (Wendy and Mike)? Do they know each other from way back? Wait for the next episode. Thanks for reading,i love you all♥️

Hey @randomrewarder what's going on since a month now, you have refused to upvote my post, what went wrong? Please come back to me, do not let my hope be dashed.

Autumn to Winter Golden forest Falling leaves Shimmering lake Cooling breeze Waving fields Of golden grains Browning grass On the empty plains Shorter days And longer nights Autumn's here A beautiful sight Mazes of corn Pumpkins on vines The wonders of autumn The smell of pines Frosty air Dying flowers Puddles formed By freezing showers The glowing moon On frosty nights Twinkling stars Shining bright Banks of snow And rivers of ice Quiet sounds From sleeping mice Blinding gales Build up snow Blizzards are howling Where ere they go Ponds frozen over Tall leafless trees Snow swirling round By the blustery breeze Winter is here With snow and ice Painting the land It feels quite nice Jungle The chatter of monkeys The tall silent trees Tiny green frogs On the whispering leaves The vines that hang down And are covered in moss Going over a stream For monkeys to cross Splashes of colour From frogs and flowers Clouds fill the sky Dumping small showers The majestic beauty Of jungle grace Sloths move along At a slow pace The jungle is home To creature and tree Living in the wild Living free Birds Flying and gliding Sweeping along Chirping and trilling A wondrous song Fishing and snactching Bugs from the air Seeds and nuts And the fruit way up here Perched on a bush A nest in the tree Baby birds cheap Trying to fly free The parents come To bring them some lunch On worms and bugs And beetles they munch Dreaming of when They fly from the nest Into the world The greatest test

Queen Anne Queen Anne is a beautiful lady,who got married at the age of 25 to the king of about 60years,queen Anne had a fiance before getting married to the king,she was so consumed with power,she loves her ex but can't get married to him because she chose the king already. Mike was the name of the ex,he was so sad to hear that the queen got married to another person,after some time he decided to get married to another woman but because the queen was jealous she framed her up and ordered her to be killed. After some time the king died and there was no one to sit on the throne, before the king's death she gave birth to a boy ,an heir to the throne but their was war in the village,so the queen decided to send his son out of the village,she hid her son at the age of 5 so that no one will kill him. She was very careful, anything that will come against her son in future,she was always ready to uproot them. The officials in the palace were against her because she became a regent and sat on the throne, always giving orders, some believe that the queen is wicked while some believe she is not, either ways she will always fight those fighting against her throne. When her son grew up she brought him back at night so that no one will know who he is,but the official started asking questions as to what the queen brought in to the palace at night but they didn't get their answers. The young prince confronted the queen that he can't hide forever and he wants to take his position on the throne but the queen said no,the queen said no because she thought he is too weak to rule all those people including the chiefs,she was scared for him,she didn't want to loose him because alot of people are plotting to kill the prince. Mike was the village physician,he always treats all that get sick,one day the queen became weak and decided to call Mike,he decided to come upon the queen's order and realized the queen has been taking poison,slow poisoning,he didn't say anything because he wanted to queen to die because she killed his wife,so that was an opportunity for him,he gave her medicine that wasn't related to the sickness. No one knew the prince,even when he went out,he is always there,but some people realize they haven't seen him before but they didn't talk much about it until the head of the palace chiefs started making findings about him. The queen didn't want to leave the throne,she's always telling the prince to stay in his hiding place and no one must know he is the prince. One day the prince decided to take the bull by the horn and sat on the throne,the queen saw him and asked him what he was doing,he said he won't hide anymore and he will sit on the throne now and rule his people fairly. His mum was scared and started begging him because there are people that wants to see him dead,but he was adamant. He proclaimed himself and all the people in the village saw him,even people that has abused him as a faceless king,even people that fought with him when they don't know he is the king began to feel sorry for themselves,had they known they would have treated him right. The head of the chiefs was fished out and executed,his mum stepped down from for him and he was crowned the king. The poison that had eaten deep into her system killed her,she died after her son was crowned. If the king hadn't been bold and decided to face it all,he won't have gotten to that position,he would have been in hiding till death and another person will become the king,let us all throw away fear and come out of hiding,shine for the world to see,if you don't,no one will push you out. Thanks for reading, enjoy the rest of your day

Take time to rest Hello everyone 👋,how are you doing? Happy Sunday to you all... Am here today to talk about rest/sleep,we all know that resting is very essential in our daily activities,as you write your daily routine down try and include resting even if it's just for two hours. When you get enough rest your blood pressure goes down instead of increasing,that is why rest is important for people who has a high blood pressure. When you are resting pause everything you are thinking about,stop thinking about any other thing than that moment you are in,the less you sleep the more your blood pressure increases. As we all know that high blood pressure can lead to heart disease which can cause stroke. Resting is an essential function That allows your body to recharge Well,thereby making you to be Renewed when you get back to work. Healthy sleep allows you to remain healthy and shakes off diseases. Without enough sleep the brain cannot function properly,not sleeping well overtime can lead to health problems like high blood pressure,obesity and diabetes. Not getting enough rest/sleep can lead to death. We have heard alot of things happening that are related to this. I have heard about alot of people that always jump from one meeting to another without proper resting,their bodies might not alert them but keeps piling up until it gets to the brim when the body cannot take it anymore and thereby causing havoc in the body which can lead to death at the end of the day. Let us know that if you are not getting enough rest because of that work,the work you can't leave for 2-4hours will leave you one day, relax your mind, rest, sleep then come back to that work. Some people don't check themselves medically,check yourself regularly to know about your health, your body is not a wood, blood runs through it so it needs rest too. There was a time when a pastor just finished a program in a church and he was invited to another that same day, there was no time to rest,his wife told him to rest but he didn't want to disappoint the people that invited him for the program so decided to go,he actually knew he needed rest but he couldn't,when he got there he fainted and that was the end. Resting helps you to maintain or lose weight,it helps you to concentrate more and you will become more productive,it also strengthens your heart and supports your immune system,it also increases your social activities. Thanks to everyone, thanks to all my upvoters and supporters, thank you @TheRandomRewarder I will be more constant here now more than before.

Sadness Have you asked your self severally,what really is sadness? We feel sad most times from pain, disappointment or discouragement,it is the feeling of unhappiness and having a low mood. Sadness is an emotion experienced by everyone. What causes sadness to each and everyone is different,it's a feeling you feel and someone else might not feel that same way. It is one of the basic human experience. It is a normal response to situations,issues that are painful or disappointing, sometimes the feeling are more deep while some other times the feeling might just be mild. Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/I8gQVrDcXzY Long-time sadness over something can cause depression,you may feel sad for alot of reasons,it might be maybe you are having trouble at home or school, feeling pressure here and there or lost a loved one. I have two experience about that that I want to share now; I could remember a long time ago when my dad just bought his car, everyone was happy,it was a new rare car, everyone was talking about the car then, after about a week my elder brother drove the car out without my dad's consent, funny enough my dad went out that day and he hid the key somewhere but my brother went there to take the key and drove the car out,when he got back,the car was already injured 😂,I mean he already hit the car against a wall. My brother already knew what this means,he was scared to death,when my dad came back he saw what happened and started shouting,my brother ran to the room and locked the door because if my dad could get hold of him that day,his life would not have remain the same again,you get what I mean right 😁,my dad could not beat him that day,he later ran to my grandparents house house then. It was a complete state of sadness that week not just that day, everyone was not feeling good especially my dad,it was sadness all through. Another one is when we actually lost my dad last two years,the house was a complete mess, infact depression set in, everyone was not okay,I could remember my mum would cry everyday,even till now sometimes she still cries but not as before,even me when I was learning handwork then ,I could remember my boss gave me a month to stay at home after that incident but even when I resumed I couldn't focus well,my mind was always far away, always lost in thoughts,that is another state of sadness that can lead emotional pain or distress for a long time or heart attack. In some people it might lead everlasting problem,they might not feel alright again, ongoing sadness leads to depression if not controlled. How to overcome sadness There are alot of ways we can overcome sadness little by little,I will share with us how to overcome sadness so it won't lead to depression; Cry; when you are feeling sad it's always good to cry it out, don't bottle it all up inside, Express it then end it. Reach out to your old friends, friends you've not seen for a long time,try reaching out to them. Invite a close friend with you and take a walk. Talk to people especially if you are feeling lonely, don't stay in that loneliness. Go to an open area, maybe vacation or reservation center. Find yourself a new hobby,do something new, focus on that thing,you can as well tr y to learn a new thing or business. Be engaged in it. Do not think about the past:take all your thoughts away from the past and focus on the present and the future, thinking about what happened in the past will only increase your sorrows,so try as hard as possible to be Happy by focusing on the present. Exercise more,if you have not been doing it before,start now,you can try yoga, exercises reduces sadness. Listen to music,best way to overcome sadness is always listening to good music mood lifting songs,am emphasizing on mood lifting songs because some will be listening to music that will make them sad the more,listen to music that will make you happy not sad. Try writing,write down your thoughts,read and write,you will feel alot better. Try doing what gives you happiness,do what you know will make you happy,you can watch some comedy show,or play games with your friends. Try thanking God for everything he has done for you and the things he will still do, when you think on what he has done your mood will be lifted. This are the ways to overcome sadness bit by bit. Thank you everyone for your time,it's been a long while here,I have really been busy but am back now, bold and better. @Rusty sorry I have not really been here but am back now and better thanks for all you do.

How a man and woman loves Individuals have alot of differences when it comes to love, love itself brings alot of character out of people, the way men are wired to love is different from the way women are wired to love. Love is beautiful when you find the right person,so these are somethings that happens when a man or woman loves; Image source https://pixabay.com/photos/love-woman-man-hand-hand-in-hand-4536550/ When men are in love,they tend to show more activity in the visual part of the brain while women show more activity in the part of the brain that governs memory. It literally means that men determine life by what they see,they get moved by everything they see especially when It comes to their women,they think about what they see, on the contrary women showcase their attention by what they hear,they are moved by what you say, that's why sometimes it's easy to decieve them because their heart gets soften by what they hear. They determine if a man would be a good match for them by what they hear and what they see him do . Another one is women around the world are more likely to fall in love with a man with ambition, education,status,wealth, respect,a man who is not lazy, a man who can protect them, a man who is taller,who can help them and also brilliant,I have heard some women say "I want a brilliant man so that my kids would be brilliant too because I am not that brilliant". While men on the other hand get attracted by what the women looks like,their stature, style,they love partners with beautiful face,a good stature,who is shorter than them ,who respects them,who can cook their delicacies and who is smart. Women are likely to shout more in a relationship,they vent out their anger more by shouting, whenever they are angry they really don't know how to keep it low except they are been talked to. While men might likely walk out, because some men do not want to exchange words with their women except for some men who have anger issues, they would rather stay and batter words with you or they even raise their hands on their women. Men often feel emotionally close when they play with,walk side by side with, tickle, hold hands or run together with their partners. While women feel more loved and comfortable when talking face to face with their partners, kiss on the forehead, cheeks and hands. Men are more likely to say I love you more than women in a relationship, women on the other hand always feel it more than they say it,most times they like to keep quiet about it but they show it with their actions. Individual who are similar are more likely to end up together because they tend to love everything about the other while people that are opposite always repel,they don't have anything in common,so they likely won't end up together.

Dice Life is like a dice,it's either you win or loose,either you play a six or you play two or one etc. You can't possibly know what you will have at the end of the game,what you do is just hope for the best. Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/bOX94WfI4YE This goes to a story of a young boy I want to share with you.. Peters is a young boy in his teens, right from when he was in his childhood,his father has always told him life is like a dice, don't expect to experience goodness all the time,you might be expecting success and still see failure at the end of it all, just don't give up. He really didn't understand what his father was saying,he didn't get that,he father is a rich man who gave everything to his children,they never lacked anything,peters is also a brilliant student who always stay ahead of the class,no one has ever beaten him to it,so he doesn't really understand what his father has been saying,he felt everything has always been a success for him and there is no way he is going to fail in anything at all. When he got to college,he was well known because of his brilliancy and handsomeness,he always carry himself with so much aura,he was so confident of himself that none ever beat him to been the first in class. When he got to year 2 in college,a new student joined them,her name is Louis,Louis is actually an average student but also brilliant and beautiful. She loves adventure and life. Some liked her while some didn't, some were just jealous of her because she caught so many attention. At the end of the semester,peters was expecting to be the first as usual but unfortunately for him and fortunately for Louis she beats him to it and became the first that year,he was so mad at himself,how will someone just come and take over ,he didn't eat for days,his father asked him what was wrong he explained to his father that he is the one that suppose to be the first and not some random girl,his father then told him to try harder next time. I have always told you,you can't always be the winner all the time, sometimes in life the dice will take you by surprise and give you one or two when you are expecting six! That is life for you,it's either you accept your defeat and move on or stay in that position for a long time with regrets. You will have to choose one. That was the word of his father to him that day. That was when he understood what his father has been saying for a long time, Everything was now replaying in his head,then he understood that everyday is not for winning, sometimes you loose, sometimes you win,when you get adapted to winning always,it is very difficult to accept loosing. LIFE IS LIKE A DICE, EXPECT DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE DICE.

Is this luck or mercy? Goodness is the second child of four,she has an elder brother and one younger sister and a brother,her parent were always busy while she was growing up, right from when she was young she has always been interacting with guys,she has always been loved by all,they were average when it comes to money. Everything was like that till she grew up,when she left secondary School everything became difficult for her,she couldn't gain admission into the university,she wrote jamb several times and even post jamb but no admission,she has always been having above the cut off mark but they won't offer her admission,she didn't know what was wrong,it as if her world wants to crash,her friends are already in school what will happen to her now She was confused, sometimes she would cry and cry her eyes out,when everyone is saying am in so so so school she won't be able to say anything,she would just be sad or sometimes avoid such discussion, admist all of this she lost her dad,it was a difficult experience for everyone in the house,it was really a bad experience to loose any parent or siblings. Goodness started learning handwork before she lost her dad,the very month she started learning,her boss came to pay her condolence visit but that was the beginning of the turnaround for her, everything started working well for her,the following year she gained admission,when she gained admission her mum was confused about the school fees,her mum is working but then the school fees was much so they started to get that amount. Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/LAt6qTonZ4A Miraculously God did it,he sent help and she was able to pay her first semester part payment of the school fees and could write exam. During that first semester she joined the working force in her school fellowship,she didn't bring alot to school but after the first semester everyone went for break, second semester began again,God fought alot of battles for her and alot of it was evident in her life. She hasn't paid her remaining school fees ,one week to her second semester exam,she was already thinking,even her mum was also thinking, miraculously they sent a message to her from one scholarship foundation where she had written exam some few months back,when she finished writing the exam then,she didn't get up to the cut off mark and they said everyone that didn't get up to the cut off mark should go home and reapply next year. Someone just singled her Alone out and told her to re-write the exam and she did but again someone came as an obstacle and she went home not knowing what will happen next, after about three months she gave up about them and though maybe they will never get back to her,so when she saw the message she was amazed and quickly rushed to the place,the woman immediately remembered her face and said atlast! Mercy spoke for you. Keep serving God. And they gave her the money,her friend that has been looking for his own school fees all the while,when she told him about it,he said why are you so lucky? You are have luck ooo,she said it was mercy and Grace and favour,she calls it mercy,and he calls it luck,that was how she was able to pay up her school fees.... What do you call it, grace or luck???? Thanks for been patient with me, thanks for understanding, thanks for reading my articles Everytime and thanks for upvoting my articles 👍

A detective attitude A detective attitude is when you want to get the truth at all cost,I call it curiosity attitude,when you are always curious,you don't want anything bad to pass you by,you must know what's up about it and why,if someone tells you something you want to find out if it's true or not... Image source https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/torn-paper-box-with-word-curiousity-business-concept-gm494636408-77568435 I have *this attitude and I think growing up with it now is kinda giving me issue or probably the world at large cannot be truthful, it started when I was young,then when my brother do anything,I will want to find out,there was a time he took extra food and hid it,I didn't see it when he took it but I decided to check him out and I saw the food where he kept,then I told mummy and daddy,when I was little I never thought I was doing anything wrong,I only thought I was doing everything right and no one should hide anything from me,am always at alert,so it bothers me if I don't get to know the truth,there was so many things,so many truth I make known to my family just because of my curiosity,if anything happens am the first person who would know just because I cannot sit down let things slide.* *Now growing up with it is giving me alot of issue because it's getting worse daily,I just want to know the truth,there are some truth that will put my mind in disarray but then I still want to know the truth,to me I believe only the truth can set you free so I always want to know the truth,there are things naturally that I might have just overlooked but I won't,I must surely find what I am looking,if I don't I won't rest,one thing is if I wasn't thinking about it before, something will surely happen and I will start looking for what is hidden.i left my former relationship because of that,when I found out what I have been looking for,but sincerely I just want honesty in all things but it feels like am now over doing it....* Image source https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/torn-paper-with-word-questions-gm488546552-74226035 Is it wrong to want the truth? Is wrong to be curious about something that is not clear? Is wrong to always want to catch someone if they are doing something bad? Am I over doing it? Am tired of this my detective attitude, always want to trail to get the truth,these are the questions I ask myself always and I need answers to them....

What if? Hello everyone 👋,am back again,am sorry for my inconsistent,you know I told you it's my exam and lately things has been alittle bit hard so please bear with me. As we were talking in church, someone said what if you grew up in someone else's house,what if you were raised by someone else,it was a genuine question that took me back to my primary school days,I was so little then,my dad and my mum happens to be very busy then so sometimes when we have holidays some of their friends will say let your child come and have her holiday with us, while I was little alot of people like me even in my extended family,so I am always preferred to my siblings,so one of the holidays I went to my mum's friend house,when we got there she treated me well but her daughter is kind of a person that like sending someone on an errand,she didn't even think I was little,she was always sending me on an errand even if I wanted to reject it she would shout at me or beat me,I wanted to go home real quick but it was a long holiday. Image source https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/what-if-text-on-notepad-with-dark-background-gm1327238418-411652304 I was already missing home,I didn't want to stay again,the place was not okay for me,I wanted to call my mom to come and pick me but there was no phone,even if my mum call them they won't give me the phone,I wanted to tell my parent I was not fine,they treated me badly,when it was a week to go,the lady started begging me to come back again when we have holidays,I rejected,God forbid me to come again,she started treating me nice,In all those things her mum didn't say anything,I am not a maid so I was very anxious for the week to be over so I can go home,my mum came to pick me,I was so happy,when we met again in church and they said I should come again I rejected it,I told my mom am not going. There was a time too I went to my cousin's house,the mother said I should sweep the floor so I saw some dirty dust like sand under the bed like they've not swept it for over a year,I was right they've not swept it for a long time,so I left it there too, so they expected me to sweep what their children couldn't sweep,when I left there I told her I was through with the sweeping, she went to inspect the place so she came back to come and draw my ear to go back and sweep that place that she knows that I will leave it,why won't I leave it?? What she cannot do to her kids while will she do it to me?? That's how people are. Now I thought about all those and I gave glory to God that I didn't live permanently with some other people,I wasn't raised by someone else,what if I was? It would have been bad than that because people always do things to someone else kids while they leave their own kids out of it,what if my parent weren't capable of raising me themselves or what if I lost them then what would have happened to my life today was all my thoughts,I was so grateful to God that my parents had the opportunity of raising me and I also have the opportunity of been raised by them. Now I can feel the pain of those who were raised by another people, some are traumatized already because it has been hell for them. To those who have kids, please listen to your kids,when you tell them go to aunty so so house or brother so so house and they refuse saying they don't want to stay there please listen to them,kids know what they are doing,they might not tell you what really happened but always notice them,it's better you care for them yourself than another person caring for them.

I am so sorry Hello my people,how are you doing? Am so sorry have not been constant here,have really been busy with exams,been reading,since we started,it has me reading with my coursemates,no time, sometimes I come here just to check then go offline again,today is Saturday and I really need to be here,am so sorry everyone. Yesterday was my maths exam,we have been reading, calculating,we had just three topics to read in maths,and we actually thought about it that it was just too small for the semester but we never thought they would bring our last semester topic,our exam was suppose to start by 5:45pm for our department but when it was 4pm ,they started calling us that people were already entering and mind you it was cbt,so we said we won't enter until it was 5pm at least so some stayed outside while some went inside,so we stayed outside close to an hour because everywhere was filled up,when some people were done we started going inside and we started our exam,the exam was suppose to be 70questons but it was not so for some people, some had 120 questions, some had no time on theirs, some didn't see answers for some questions, everything just went upside down, some even had lesser questions, so our lecturers came and said it was the problem of the server so they had to cancel the exam, everyone shouted when they told us to log out, some were even true already, yesterday was a sad day for some while it was a good day for some, they said the exam will be rescheduled for another day, we don't know the day yet.... That was how my yesterday exam went,exam has been the reason why I haven't been constant here and I might still not be constant for some time till I finish my exams, please bear with me.... Thanks for understanding.

Courage to keep going. Have you ever lost the courage to live?? Do you feel everything happening to you is just too much that you can't bare again? Some will even say everything has been bad for them since they were growing up, and they really feel like quitting or they just want to stop. Image source https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/never-give-up-gm1196944810-341576260 "The world will always give you the opportunity to quit,but only the world would call quitting an opportunity" says Clint Brown. Anyone who wins has tried several times in his life and never gave up until he won,if you are interested in Winning then you should never quit, quitting is for losers,you will always find a reason to quit,there are thousands of reasons to quit but always look for just one reason never to quit,if you working on a business and people are not buying your idea yet, continue working on it, one-day they will surely come for you. Remember that life is not a bed of roses,there will be ups and downs,there will be obstacles standing on the way of your breakthrough but you've got to stand up and say no matter the obstacle I will move forward, it's a personal thing,no one will do it for you. No one wants that good thing for you like you do,only you can push forward,only you can keep going on,only determine to keep at it no matter what untill you make it. Failure is a choice and success is a choice too,you have to choose one. You can only choose one with your actions and determinations not just with mouth, nobody or nothing can pin you down unless you decide not to rise again,only you can decide not to rise again,the choice of you giving up or going on is a crucial moment in your life,the world are awaiting your manifestation,the decision you make today will affect alot of generations to come either positively or negatively,it all depends on you if you want to fail your generation and quit or if you want to make them proud and keep on going on and succeed on the go. Image source https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/motivational-and-inspirational-wording-gm1166518479-321368558 Alot of people stop faster than they start,the energy they use in starting gets diminish when they realize that what they want is not happening,when they don't see the result they stop, by stopping they loose those great results, they loose success. You can't just think once you fight a battle you win, it's not always like that, sometimes you will have to fight more than once to win, you will have to keep fighting to win you don't know if it's your next one or next one again but once you stop! You stop the courage to live, you stop yourself from succeeding, nothing good comes out of quitting. Be willing to keep on trying, anyone can quit.

How to be unusual Good afternoon everyone, Happy Sunday to you all,I hope you are all doing great. Now moving on to the unusual, unusual means been different, doing your things in a special way,not following the crowd to do what they are doing because you understand that you are different,you understand that you have a whole lot inside of you that you must unleash,you understand that there is no "two you",I mean no one is like you,you are you,and you alone. So you don't need to look at other people to live your life,the potential inside of you is different from others,so you must not look at others because you won't end the same way,you are heading out to different direction while they are heading out to different destination,if you are comparing yourself with another it's likely you fail, your timing is different, your thinking is different, the way you carry out your things are different,be you. I will mention three ways to be Unusual 1. Be Authentic; Being authentic means you are not fake, everything you give out is real,the authenticity of your life is real,your habits, character and all,they are real. Imagine you own a business, imagine you produce your things yourself and you have to deliver just the way you have advertise to your customers,you know what you have to give out is suppose to tally with your customer's expectations, they are suppose to love what you sell,they have to see the authenticity in what you produce before they can buy or invite more people to patronize you. So to be Unusual you don't have to do what others are doing,you are suppose to do yours differently,so that people will believe you. 2. Be Audacious; You need to be brave,have this audacity,when you stand to speak do not fret because God has not given us the spirit of fear,he wants us to be like him, imagine you are brave like him,you are able to raise your head high and talk to people,you become Unusual when the way you talk is different from the way other people talk,have the audacity,alot are still where they are because of fear,they have great potentials,gifts that they are suppose to take out there,but they can't because of the fear of who will buy it or will people like it, take it out first,preach it first,produce that thing first and see if people will love it or not, don't just conclude because of fear. 3. Be a solution giver; Do you know the meaning of been able to give solution at the appropriate time,been able to solve things with your knowledge and experience,to be Unusual you have to be a solution provider,the world is waiting for you to come and solve that problem, your family is waiting for you,you don't need to shy away from giving solutions, giving solutions makes you different from every other regular person.when you are at a meeting and they are all confused about something,try and give the solution if you have it at hand, alot have what it takes to move forward but they stuck because they don't want to give solutions. Give solutions and you will find solutions to your own life. Thank you for reading, thanks to all my supporters and upvoters so far.

The heir *Long time ago, there lived a king in the village of ijero,the king is a very wicked king,he oppressed the poor by taking what belongs to the poor like their farmland,he had three wives and other concubines outside,if anyone go against the king or they reject the king's offer they will be punished for it. The king loved his smallest wife so much but three wives did not give birth to any child for the king ,they were all barren until one day the king decided to visit the greatest and most feared herbalist in their village because he was disturbed,he wanted to have an heir to throne. When he got to the herbalist shrine,the herbalist told him his wives were not able to conceive because of his wicked acts to the people,but he will be given a son according to the gods, because they decided to have mercy upon him,then the herbalist gave him some concoction to give to his three wives.* He collected the concoction and hurriedly went home,when he got home he summoned all his there wives and told them to take the concoction,the first wife was the one who drank it first,then passed it to the second wife,when the second wife drank her own she passed it to the third wife but as the third wife was about to drink it they intentionally hit the small Calabash off her hand and the concoction poured away,but because she wanted to have a baby too she licked the remaining with her hand and made sure she swallowed it, after a month they became pregnant, after 9 months the first wife gave birth to a baby girl but it was a still birth,the second wife also gave birth to a baby girl but it was also a still birth,so the king was afraid and at the same time furious with the herbalist he summoned him but the herbalist said he only told her the gods will give him a son and not there children,so because of that the king ordered the third wife to be put inside the hidden chamber and taken care of because of the wicked ones. When the third wife was about to give birth,the other two queens gave the midwife money told her to dispose the third wife child if happens to be a boy ,when it was time the midwife did as the queens have said and proclaimed the third wife gave birth to a stone, everyone was surprised,how can the third queen give birth to a stone? The king was angry and gave an order to imprison the chief priest. **After 20 years,the king became sick and died,the chief priest was released. When everyone woke up in the king's palace in the morning they saw the king staff standing right in the middle of the compound and they tried removing it but no one could,including the chiefs in the palace,when the chief priest came he told them that only the king son can remove the staff from the ground. Everyone was amazed but the king had no son,how can you say it's only the king son that can remove the staff,they all thought it was a lie, after a week everyone in the palace couldn't remove the staff yet they called all the young guys in the village to come and try it if anyone can remove it but they all couldn't but there was one who wasn't even interested in the kingship, he only followed his friend there, but when his friend couldn't remove the staff he told the other guy to try it but he said he no that he wasn't interested until he was forced to do it and lo and behold he staff shook and made it's way out of the ground.** Everyone was amazed,how come the king had a son and no one knew about it,the guy ran home and told his father to explain things to him,how can he be the son of a farmer and still be the son of a king,his father then explained to him that about 20years ago he saw him the forest crying and decided to bring him home and took care of him as his son. The midwife who has been struck by an unknown illness for about 10years now decided to confess when she heard about what happened in the palace and how the king's son came back,she confessed everything the queens made her do to the smallest queen,the queens were banished from the village and the third wife was grateful her son came back to her, and after about 2weeks the king's son was crowned the new king of ijero village. Everyone was happy with his rule because he returned what belongs to the poor back to them and made everything easy for everyone in the land,he was a kind king and not wicked like his father and because of that all the villagers loved him and supported him during his reign.

Is love by force? Some people will say,"I call him/heroften,spend my money on him/her, take care ,am kind but why is he not really reciprocating it,why is she not loving me back the way I do?" I asked again is love by force? Love is not meant to be forced,it is meant to be intentional, cherished. I believe love is everything we need in this world to make it a better place, love should be kind, loving, Caring, not wicked. Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/gsQ4uk6cnyw On a relationship level now,love is meant to be enjoyed,not endured,if you feel you are only enduring then it's not love,I was once in a relationship where my partner was everything when we started,but he was a flirt,he told me it was nothing but I kept on believing him, sincerely he was loving, caring but one thing is he loves cheating,he cheated and said he still loves me,how is that possible?? How can someone love you and still have the guts to cheat on you,how is that possible,alot don't know what love really entails, then I was confused about it,I decided to ask people that knew better about it and they told me he doesn't really love me,they said love should not cheat,love should be unconditional,we agree that physical features too matter, you feel attracted to someone before loving the person but after getting to know the person that shouldn't all. Love is not built in a day,we understand that there are ups and downs,the journey might not be easy ,when you love someone genuinely,even when there is a problem you will actually overcome that problem,but when you don't love someone genuinely and it's just the beauty that attracts you or broad chest or handsome face😁,you tend to change when there is a slight problem,you tend to misbehave or even break the relationship. When you feel you are no more getting the energy you want from your partner,talk to your partner about it,if your partner ignore you and continue doing those things you don't want, please pull out,love is not by force, someone else will surely love you if you calm down, don't say you might not find love again,you will surely find love again, love will find you and this time they will treat you well till death do you path most times relationships is like a glass,once broken or shattered don't waste your time trying to pick it together,or when trust is broken,it takes time to trust again if they are actually still willing to stay together. If your relationship is no more working and you have tried all your best for it to work and it's difficult please opt out,stop damaging yourself more, leave the relationship and love yourself,heal first before jumping into another one and this Time around please pray for direction, God's direction is actually the best,let him direct your path to the right person. I just want to say thank you to all my upvoters,I love you alllll😘

My little act of kindness I was on the highway driving fast, late for work already, though I am my own boss,I have workers working for me but I needed to get to work fast,I had to increase my speed from 80 to 120,for God's sake why was I rushing,I don't really know but I wanted to get to work and do somethings,as I was driving I saw a body on the floor struggling to move from a far distance, I was perplexed,what happened to him,why is he fighting hard to move on the floor,I decided to slow down Abit, should I help him or just go my way,I don't know what to do because this days a lot has been happening and it can be dangerous to help someone you don't know from anywhere. I drove past him and as I was going something in me tells me to help that man but how? I don't know this man,what if some people are actually hiding somewhere to see if anyone will come down from a car and they will ambush the person or what if the man himself hurt me,these were the thoughts going through my mind but I decided to stop my car turn back and take the man to the hospital. When I got there I realized the guy should not be more than 30years of age,he is quite handsome too, don't get me wrong am only saying what I saw, nothing more, Lolssss. I decided to take him to the hospital as I was bringing him into my car alot of people going were looking at us and my heart was racing too,when we got to the hospital the nurses took him to the ward and gave him drip,treated his wound,but before I leave for work I paid his bills and left for work,I told the nurses that I will come back and check on him in the evening. When I got to my place of work I did somethings, checked the foods and all,let me introduce what I do,my name is ruth,I own a small restaurant, right from my childhood days I had love cooking so I decided to go for catering as my work,am also 28years old,am doing well in my business,I own a small car already and I stay alone actually because am not yet married. After alot of activities at work I decided to go rest at home, I couldn't go back to check on the guy I took to the hospital this morning but the next morning i decided to order a meal in my restaurant for the guy, he must have been famished, I took the meal along as I go see him, when I got there he was already better than the last time I saw him, he almost prostrated when he saw me enter, I had to hold him not to, he thanked me for helping him out there, then I asked him about what happened to him, where he is from and what's his name and where he lives. His name is Kenneth,he was kidnapped by kidnappers who wanted to collect ransom from his parents,he said he is from a rich home, and his dad was preparing the ransom when he escaped,he didn't know how he got out there but he knew he got out,wow I felt pity for him and also thankful that I was of help to him. We decided to put a call through to his parent,lo and behold he is the famous son of the king's family everyone has been looking for,for the past one two weeks now alot of news has been going on that the king's son was kidnapped,so I just helped the king's family without knowing. They came to the hospital, greeted me and they were so grateful that I took their son to the hospital, after a day Kenneth was discharged. He collected my number and said he would invite me to their house next weekend,I was okay with that. I was actually anxious, going to the rich people house is kinda somehow,so when the next weekend came,he called me and told me to describe my place for him so he can come and pick me, I described for him and he came over to pick me, when I got their mansion, I was woowwwed, it was very big and beautiful. I was welcomed warmly when I got inside, they already prepared different delicacies for me, I don't even know what to choose, I was just smiling, it was actually an awesome moment. His father started talking and asked me what I do for a living,I told him I own a restaurant and the look on his face shows he was surprised,he said do I want to learn more about food outside the country?? I said yes,yes if course that has been my dream,I had wanted to go to china to learn more all this while,he said where do I want,I said China without Missing one word,he said it is done,that he will send me to china to study more,I thought I was dreaming, someone should just wake me up from my dream Land,this is too good to be true!!!!!! I was so happy, after a month I was already in china learning more about food,it was an awesome experience,when I came back to Nigeria my restaurant already expanded because Kenneth was helping me to manage it. After a month Kenneth proposed to me and he was serious,I was surprised but I like him to though,I accepted his proposal and our wedding took place 3 month after. That was how my little act of kindness got me to greatness. This is the chronicle of Ruth and Kenneth.

Fencing If you are inside a house with fence and you can only walk around inside that compound,it possible you don't see outside the fence or Know what's happening outside the fence, that's how some minds are,alot of people only think in this box not outside the box,so it's very difficult for them to make any decision. You cannot cage your mind and expect to achieve great things.it has to go wild before you can't grab some things. some of what happens is decision making,if you are only accustomed to one thing to make a decision will be very difficult. Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/KTpSVEcU0XU James hightower says,"There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos". The bitter truth is that the most difficult place to be is to be at the middle of the road,when you get stuck at the middle of road,no moving forward,no moving backward,you don't know the next line of action,it will be very difficult to achieve something great in life, some lives are just stuck inside the fence,they haven't made decision to come out of the fence and do something extraordinary,when you don't know how to decide quick it's a bad sign for the future. Indecision is a dangerous place to be,the worst end,to move from where you are you must be able to decide where you would rather be,you can't just move without deciding first where you are going, Let's assume you are at home and you want to leave home, before leaving home you would have decided where you want to go, either a friend's place or market or church,you won't just get to the road then start to think about where to go,if you should go to out to your friend's place or any other place,you would have decided at home, peradventure you didn't decide at home and you now get to the road and started moving back and forth talking to yourself if you should go here or there,when people see you they will think you are not in your right senses, so that's exactly what indecision do to us,it makes us loose focus. Have you ever noticed that the people that can't decide are the most miserable people on earth,any achievement both great and small starts with a decision, being able to make a decision is an absolute key to success and breakthrough. Nothing great was ever done without a decision,you have to decide if you are moving forward or not, decide on that business today,do you want to publicize it or not,do you want to continue schooling or not ,do you want to sell that product or not,start to make decision quick,don't sleep on it, don't let anyone make that decision for you, you have to make it yourself. Alot of people go through life not Knowing what they want,they don't know what they want to make of themselves, making a decision gets you to where you are going faster. Make a decision today!!! When you remain indecisive and you will never grow.

My Bitcoin wallet experience Hello everyone,I hope you are all doing good??,I couldn't write yesterday because I wasn't in the right frame of mind,I could remember that a day before yesterday I could still access my Bitcoin wallet,even till night but when I woke up in the morning the next day,that was yesterday morning,I wanted to access my Bitcoin app to check what was up but I couldn't,I opened it,it wasn't opening,I tried it again the same thing,I tried it severally it wasn't opening,I thought in my mind if it has actually crashed,how am I going to get my bch back if it crashed,I had to call @Maryjacy ,she helped me check it if there was anything we can do,she tried and tried,checked the settings on my phone and all but all to no avail, she asked me if I backed it up with my seed phrase or if I wrote it down I said no I don't,then she said there was no way we can get the bch back if I don't know the seed phrase,I was very scared,I didn't know what to do,she left and I continue checking till night. When it was late at night I went to my settings, through my settings I saw the app source,then it lead me to play store,then I realized it said I should update,then I did update, immediately I updated it began working,ohhh mine😁😁,I was so happy,so this was what has been disturbing since morning and I couldn't do anything about it,and I said thank you HolySpirit for bringing my mind to that. Then I ran straight to @Maryjacy room to tell her i already opened it,she was happy too,she helped me to check for the seed phrase and told me to write it down,I quickly rushed back to my room and wrote it down,i was so happy because I didn't experience bch heartbreak 😆. Mind you before yesterday's experience I had always thought in my mind that how am I going to get my bch back if at all anything happens to my phone or the bch app but I didn't know there was a seed phrase in the app,I never checked it to that area,all I did was back it up with password and I thought that was enough but something kept telling if that was all I need if anything should happen to my phone but yesterday I got my answer and am happy that I got my seed phrase with the help of @Maryjacy ,I should have asked her from the beginning,she has always been of good help to me, I just want to say a big thank you to her for always putting me through and standing by me,thank you so much. That was my bch app experience yesterday. Thank you very much to all my ever standing upvoters and supporters.

Is it wrong?? She kept on calling my fiance,what will I do,I don't understand why,what is her problem,why will she be disturbing him,what do they have in common? I kept on thinking about all of this until one day I met her myself..... So sorry I didn't introduce myself before talking,I was just vexed,my name tayo,I am a banker why my fiance is an engineer,I am tall, chocolate, beautiful with a lovely shape,am in my middle twenties,I love singing, and i love God,my fiance name is kolade,we applied celibacy into our relationship,we both love each other ,kolade is a very handsome guy in is late twenties,he is tall, light skinned and a little bit shubby,I understand the fact that alot of ladies want him and want him to be their boyfriend or husband but he is not looking at them at all, he is focused though and i love him for that. But this particular lady kept calling his number but whenever he is with me he doesn't pick up,he ignores the call even when I tell him to pick the call up,he didn't save the number,she kept on calling and I told kolade I don't like that thing,am not convenient with this calling at all but he will always say he is tired of the girl,but excuse me, can't he just block her line and let us have peace?. I don't understand,one day I met her,well I don't know her before but that particular day I was going out with darling when he saw her and told me that is the girl,I was just looking at her like,so this is the girl that wants to snatch my man but I was not cool with it. There was a time we were having dinner together and before we finished that dinner she had called like 15times, like what Is her problem for crying out loud!! I don't get it, okay he said he met her when he was with is friends,she came to say hi to them and he didn't say anything but kept on looking at him and she later said he is handsome and she wanted to collect his number then but he didn't give it to her but his friends later gave her the number at his back and that was how she started disturbing him with chats and calls....I was baffled though,how will a lady be so desperate like this ....... One day I told him to let me pick the lady's call, peradventure she doesn't doesn't really understand you have a fiancee already,but he rejected and I don't know why he rejected that,he said"why will you pick up the call of my toaster"? Help me answer this please,is it wrong to pick the call? Like just to tell her she should stop calling him,is it wrong? Or he probably has something he is hiding??? I don't understand yet This is the chronicle of tayo and kolade... Please help me answer this question for them,is it wrong to pick up the call ?? Is it?? I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me up to this stage, your girl is so grateful.

Investing in people Image source https://pixabay.com/photos/refugees-economic-refugees-1015294/ One of the most exciting decisions you can make is to be on the lookout for opportunities to invest in others. When you invest in people you are investing in your future indirectly and you know what it means when you are investing in your future positively,it means your future will be bright. Zig ziglar once said,"you will always have everything you want in life if you will help enough other people get what they want". "***There is story I heard then, there was this girl who had nobody at that time, she was going through alot, her mother was poor and she sells her mother's product from the farm just to feed themselves on a daily,she couldn't go to school because there was no money to pay her school fees, one day she met this woman when she was coming back from the farm,she was thinking so she didn't know when the woman's car reached her side,the woman horned before she jerked out of her thoughts and the woman asked her what the problem was and what she was thinking about,she explained that she couldn't go to school because her mom is poor and her father is dead,the rich woman felt pity on her and decided to follow her home,she told the girl's mother that she will sponsor get daughter,that was how she sponsored the girl up to her university days,till she finished her university but the woman later died because she had cancer, when the (girl) now lady heard,she wept and thought in her heart that no matter what she will take care of that woman's children,she took up the expenses and started taking care of the woman's children like her own, because that woman has done alot for her she decided to repay her back by taking good care of the kids she left behind".*** Okay now let assume the woman has the power to send that little girl to school but decided not to,what would have happened to her future,her children,she doesn't know she would die when she was taking care of that girl,she only did that out of pure love not knowing she was investing in her own future, nobody knows what the future holds for them,all they know about is the present,the more reason why we need to help others when we have the power to do so. Alot in our community today don't care about other people,all they care about is themselves,what if you are holding your help back from someone that will help you in the future or someone that will help your children, someone who will make your future brighter. When you help other people get what they want in life you will always get what you want, if you help like 20 people let's say 10 people will come back and help you,you will be able to achieve what you can't achieve. Make out time to invest in others, you can invest with words, not just with money, you can invest with connections, connect people. Whatever you do will always come back to you. Thanks for reading, thanks to all my upvoters.

Serve high and low Albert Schweitzer said,"The only one among you who will really be happy are those who have sought and found how to serve". Serving others is one of life's most awesome privileges. Before you become a leader you must be willing to serve,a person who doesn't want to serve cannot become a good leader, note: a good leader not just any leader, even if you find your way to the top and squeeze yourself there you won't be a good leader because you have refused to serve others so you won't know the tactics of being a leader. Leading is not just about serving the high,it's also about serving the low,you must be humble enough to serve everyone, service comes with humility,if as a server you are too proud to serve even your leader how can you serve someone that is lower than you? You won't be able to,so when you become leader it will difficult to serve people you think are not in your class. A lot refuse to get this right that leadership comes with serving,you want to be a leader? Be ready to serve!. Someone once said if you are too big to serve you are too small to lead,if you feel you are big to serve people then you shouldn't be a leader,you have to serve high and low,rich and poor,and all categories of people. Image source https://pixabay.com/illustrations/non-violence-peace-transformation-1158316/ You should be nice/kind to people when serving, attitude matters alot. Not just serving but the way you serve matters alot. It changes opinion of people about you,serve with joy not grumbling. Some might not be in that position(a known leader)but they are born leaders,they have this leadership attitude that they always want to serve anywhere they get to no matter the people they meet or where they find themselves,they don't want to know if you are poor or rich or maybe you are kind to them or not,all they want to do is to impact you with their service. Leading is like a bright light shining to everyone's path,so you must know as a leader you must be shining, your light must not be dim,others will surely follow your path,so you must be a good leader. Let me mention the different ways to serve that will make meaning to people's life or that will impact life greatly; Serve with joy in your heart. Serve with understanding; like understanding the situation on ground. Serve both the high and low Be humble, don't think you are better than anyone else. Serve without expecting anything in return. Serve with passion, genuinely. They are not self-serving;not what they want for themselves Serve with pure love; brotherly or sisterly love,there is no commandments greater than this. In conclusion; We must know that while serving we must help others,we must not think lowly of them,if we cannot serve we cannot lead because leading is only for people that can serve without pride .

Three things my partner must possess Hello everyone,how are you doing, thanks for all your support and to all my upvoters thank you Have seen a lot of people get this things wrong in their relationship,there should be standards for relationship ,goals,do's and don'ts . I have just three things that must not be found wanting in a relationship, because if they are found wanting the relationship might collapse. Ability to say sorry Must not be stingy Must be hardworking. 1. Ability to say sorry: This is sometimes difficult for some people to say,when they are wrong or when they are not wrong, some even find it insulting to say sorry to their man or woman, there was a lady who told me back then that her boyfriend does not know how to say sorry even when he is wrong,I asked her,then what do you do? She said I try to bring up a conversation or be the one to beg him, really now? That's nonsense,that should not be found in a relationship, some will even say I can't say sorry to her,she should learn to adapt!! Brother adapt to what sir? Not been able to say sorry? I surely can't because it hurts,it really hurt to know you are the one at fault and you are proving stubborn or been bossy about it. Relationship is not a do or die affair,when you love someone saying"sorry" will be the least thing to say, like it will be so easy for you to say simple sorry and you won't be egoistic about it,there should be nothing like ego in a relationship,you should come to each other's level and love truely,when love is leading then there won't be a difficulty in saying sorry either from the man or from the woman. Learn to say sorry,it heals quickly. Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/joYk8q_An0o 2. Must not be stingy: Must not be stingy,am sounding this as a warning,how many ears do you have 😂😂, sincerely speaking he must be a giver,even if he doesn't have you will know a giver from afar,a stingy man or woman always won't have,even if they have what you are asking for they will still say they don't,a giver even if it's just 20$ will split it into two for that particular thing you want to do,a stingy person will always collect from you but they won't support you when it's time to support you or your career. Building your family on stinginess will only cause havoc!! I mean disaster!! This is because if it's the husband that is a "giver"(when I mean giver am not saying rich,there is a difference between a giver and a rich person,a person can be rich and still stingy but a giver will always give no matter the circumstance) he will be the only one fending for the family while the wife only buys things for herself alone. And if it's the wife too that's a giver,she will be the one taking care of the family and spending all her last card on the family while the husband keeps his money, a stingy man/woman are not good. Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/joYk8q_An0o 3. Must be hardworking: I say hardworking oooo,not lazy,even if he is not rich today,him been hardworking means you won't go hungry, make sure he has a plan,and he's doing everything to work towards it. If a woman is hardworking be rest assured that your children are in safe hands😂,safe hands oo because there are some women that are very lazy,to wake up early in the morning and birth for their children and cook for them is a problem,you will see them tieing wrapper up and down and be gossiping from one house to another,it's always a problem for the husband especially if the husband is a neat, hardworking and reserved man. Marry someone who is hardworking, marry your type not someone you will regret marrying. Check for all this things in courtship before getting fixed.

Let your success speak,not you Alot of times people rush to post what they are not or what they are achieving gradually online,they just expose themselves to the world when they are not even there yet, the Yoruba proverbs says that "Ti isu eni ba ta she la boje" this simply means that"if one's yam is done you will cover it and eat". You won't expose the yam to alot of people before eating,when you are now full they will know that you have eaten. People expose their success to the world even before making it, don't let them see you when you have not even gotten there,let me give an illustration; ***A got married to B and for three years they couldn't give birth because B couldn't get pregnant,they kept praying and trusting God for it,one day B realized that she missed her period and decided to test herself,A went to get testing kit and B tested herself and realized that she was pregnant,she told A about it and he was so happy to the extent that when he got to the office he told everyone that his wife is pregnant already, imagine just 2weeks pregnancy and everyone already knew and someone from his office called B and congratulated her and she was surprised how everyone knew she is pregnant,she asked A about it and A said he told everyone in the office,B was so disappointed in him,how will you tell anyone about it when it's not even visible yet,do you need to tell anyone before they know about it? After one week the pregnancy came down ,and they were back to square one,B couldn't stop crying because she warned her husband enough.*** See the result of not calming down or covering your yam when it's done before eating,it can cause alot of havoc for the person if they don't know how to keep quiet about their success. Image.source https://unsplash.com/photos/376KN_ISplE Your success should speak by itself when it's the due time not you opening up everything,strike that deal first,execute it first before spreading news about it,when your husband buys a car or a house you tell everyone,when you have a sweet home you tell everyone,all those people you tell everything about your good times will be there to see your down fall,they will be ready, Another yoruba proverbs says that "ki ise gbogbo alangba to daku dele ninu nro" meaning (not all lizard facing down have stomach upset),not everyone have good intentions towards you,not everyone wants you to be successful,not everyone wants to see you achieve something,there are a lot of haters out there that all they want is your downfall,fake it for them ,don't let them see the real you,don't speak by yourself let your achievement speak by itself. Even if you are not happy smile,don't let them Know the reason why you are not not happy,not everyone deserve to know what's going on in your life, your life should be a secret for you. Let your success speak and not you speaking for your success. Thank you everyone, thanks for reading and supporting, thanks to all my upvoters.

Sekemi and her city adventure 1 Sekemi was born in aloba village into a small peasant family who were always happy and full of life even though they were very poor. Sekemi was the first and only daughter of her family and she was trained to believe that every first child had a duty of working hard and bringing the family out of poverty. Whenever a first daughter or son reached a certain age they were expected to go to Lagos and work hard to bring money home. The target of most natives of aloba village when they go to Lagos was to come back after a few years to replace the old family mud house with a new house built of concrete blocks and zinc roofing sheets,sekemi's family house like most houses in aloba village was built of mud, stones and sticks. Sekemi's mother had an elder brother whose first daughter Tola was taken to Lagos many years ago by another female relative. Tola came back eight years later with her husband and money as well as gifts which she distributed to the members of her family. With the money she brought home,she and her husband demolished the old family house built of mud and replaced it with a ten room concrete house with zinc roofing sheets . Sekemi just turned nine and she was in primary five,she looked taller and bigger than her age. She was a pretty dark complexioned girl with long legs which she took after her mom,sekemi school vacated on 15th,since then her eyes remain fixed on the road awaiting the arrival of her aunt tola, they usually arrive the village before or on 20th of every year but now it's 21st and no sign of aunt tola. Sekemi was not happy at all,she was lost in thought thinking that her aunt might not come again or what could have happened to her,all this thoughts enveloped her mind ,her eyes was on the road noticing different cars spewing dusts but she couldn't see the one for her aunt,she was beginning to get scared,when her mum came outside,she noticed sekemi was sad and tried to pet her telling her that her aunt is coming soon,she shouldn't worry,she told sekemi that she will soon go to Lagos too so she can bring alot of money for the family,but sekemi objected that she wants to finish her secondary School before she can go Lagos but her mum said she shouldn't worry, her aunt will send her to school. They were still talking when she noticed the car of her aunt,she quickly ran to the road and wave to them but surprisingly her aunt was not there, it was just her aunt's husband and kids. They greeted themselves and asked if aunt Tola but the husband said aunt tola travelled out of the country but she will be back soon,he bought a lot of things for the family and brought money too for the family. Sekemi's mother was so happy and decided to talk to aunt tola's husband about her daughter,she wants her to travel to Lagos with him and start working and schooling to bring money home for them. Aunt tola's husband hesitated for while and decided to take sekemi to Lagos. But that's when he comes back to the village,her mum was so happy,she started preparing that one day sekemi will go to Lagos. Aunt tola's husband went back to Lagos and came back the third month to come and take sekemi,her mum already prepared her stuffs and handed her over to her uncle.... That was how they left Lagos. In the second part,what will happen to sekemi,do you think she will be sent to school or do you think her future ambition will be destroyed... Wait for the next part,thank you for reading.

When you are distracted,you fall Getting distracted can cost you a fortune, there is time for everything in life, when and when not to do something, some people already lost focus,let us assume you going somewhere and you carry water on your head,you are already seeing that place in front of you, it's just to get there but one of your friend beacon to you from the back and you decided to shift your gaze from where you are going to look at her but unknown to you, there was a stone in front of you,the moment you look back you hit your foot against the stone and you fell down, every drop of the water will surely pour away and you don't have any options that to start all over again. That is how it is, shifting your gaze means you want to start all over, some won't even start again. There's time for everything,if when you are suppose to work hard and make something meaningful out of life you are busy enjoying frivolities,then at the end there won't even be enjoyment when you are suppose to be. A time to sow and a time to reap,a time to work and a time to rest,a time to sleep and a time to wake,if by the time you suppose to sow you are resting,you won't be able to reap anything when everyone is reaping . There is a reason why we are in school,to learn,study and pass our exams so that we can get a good job out there or better still be educated,but if you forget that that is the reason why you are in school and start to party and didn't attend lecture,then that number one reason why you are in school might not be accomplished because you have been distracted.if you allow little things to distract you in life, you might not be able to achieve that goal that you set before you. There was this man who trained his daughter never to be distracted from her little age, anytime this father send her daughter to do something for him and she gets distracted by anything she will be punished for it,her father continued training her because he believed that the world is a dangerous place,when she grew up her father was killed by some people and she decided to revenge and for her to be able to revenge she needs to stay focused, she met a guy during that time but she decided not to date the guy because her father has taught her to be focused whenever she is on a mission,she loved the guy very much but she didn't show it because she didn't want to be distracted by any love,she always send the guy away until she accomplished her mission,she understands that if she gave love a chance then her mission will not be accomplished. That is how life is,if you are to accomplish something and another thing is distracting you then you won't be able to accomplish that thing.let say you are walking on the street and you wanted to cross the road,you will look left or right to see if any vehicle is coming before you cross, what if you just crossed like that and you didn't check if any vehicle is coming,you weren't at alert,you might get knocked down to the ground by any coming vehicle so It's better to be focused so that you won't hit the ground unknown,be focused, great things await you!!.

Who are you? Ask yourself "who are you"? or the person next to you,are you a life saver or life taker,are you a failure or a success,are you good within and without or you are a bad within and good outside,do you take responsibility for your damages or you push it to someone else,do you have the interest of your co-workers or friends and family at heart or you don't? Are you desperate for money and you can do anything?are you selfish or selfless, Who are you really? This runs through my mind everytime,I have seen a lot of things happen and I came to a conclusion that some people are ignorant of the way they react to their neighbours or family or colleagues,they really don't know they are hurting their Friends with their behavior, that is why am asking do you think you have been good all this while? look within, haven't you been bad to some people, haven't you done some partials, have you been selfish or selfless? Do you obey rules and regulations or you always think nothing will happen,we know life is not fair sometimes but are you fair enough, are you fair yourself? Check within you... Sometimes ago there was this person, unintentionally was hurting other person at her place of work,she never knew until she was called to it,every morning her colleagues will bring chinchin to work and start selling,on the other hand she won't buy and she will start saying all sort of things like why is she selling chinchin in the office and stuffs like that until she was called to it,she never knew what she was doing was hurting someone else until she realized it then she stopped Who are you? Are you not a green snake under the green grass,are you not seeking for the downfall of another? Do you still have genuine love for mankind? Or you are filled with hatred ,do you still know your neighbors well? Who are they? Have you took your Time to find out about them, are they a good person or you just risking your life staying around them, take your time to find out who they are, don't just assume they are what they told you. There was an incident that happened one time like that,this new neighbor moved to that apartment,he is always coming in the night and going in the morning,he said he was working in a company,he even had a car but there was something odd about him, some don't even mind,but there was this lady who took out time to find out what the man was really doing,she found out that the man wasn't actually going to work but to a friend's place and he is also a ritualist,a child got missing in that compound and they started looking for her,they didn't know it was this man who took her,thank God for the timely intervention of this lady,she bumped into his apartment and told him to bring our the child or he will pay for it,he was denying it at first but later brought out the child,he was taking to the police station and everything became normal again in that compound. What if no one has actually found out him,and they don't know who they are,he would have kidnapped the child and no one will think it was that man. Try to really know who they are so there can be peace and at the end of everything,be ready to come out and say "This is who I am" .

Ndibe and the prince Ndibe is a beautiful, promising young lady,her mother died at the age of 10 so her father got married to another woman so she could take care of ndibe,ndibe is a very respectful lady ,her father loved her so much that he doesn't want to see her cry but on the other hand ndibe's step mother is another thing, anytime ndibe father is not at home she would send different work to do, from fetching water to getting firewood or watching cloth and cooking, ndibe will be the one to do everything but when her father is around she would behave as if she loves ndibe and care for her,she has warned ndibe several times that she must not tell her father because if she does,she will be punished again,so for the fear of been punished she kept her mouth shut. Things grew worse when she got pregnant,she won't do anything at home, always calling on ndibe,till she gave birth to her second child both are girls,so she would make ndibe run errands for her daughters,this continued like that till they all grew up and the children grew up hating ndibe because of how their mother had portrayed her,they would make jest of her and do all sorts of bad things to her,when ndibe clocked 20 she became the most beautiful lady in the village,she was loved by everyone except her step mother and sisters who are jealous of her. So one day it was time for the prince to find a wife, prince okadigbo is a very handsome young man,apart from fact that he is the only heir to the throne,he is rich and responsible. His father the king noticed he wasn't doing anything about getting married so he himself organize a beauty contest for the maidens in the village, so all the ladies started getting ready in one way or another, everyone started learning how to dance with their beads on,on hearing that ,ndibe step mom started preparing her daughters for the competition. Unknown to ndibe they already planned that she won't attend the contest but within her she was preparing to attend too,ndibe father love her so much that he was planning for ndibe to be at the contest without anybody's knowledge about it,on the day of the contest ndibe father went out pretending that he won't come back till night while he left ndibe's step mother and daughters gave her alot of things to do; like washing of clothes, fetching water from the stream and cooking so she won't be able to make it to the contest,when she was washing the clothes her father arrived and gave her new cloth and beads,she was very happy and decided to go change, meanwhile in the king's place everyone was already displaying what they can do but the prince was not pleased with it,he doesn't like any of the maidens and already wanted to conclude the contest when ndibe walked in with her father. Her step mom was surprised,it was as if she should go and meet her where she is and drag her out but she couldn't do that,it was too late, immediately the prince saw her he liked her and wanted to know more about her,he told the king he has seen his wife and every of their activities came to an end. Alot of them were not happy because the prince didn't choose them or choose their daughters. The prince took ndibe to the king and the king showered his blessings on them. When ndibe got home the step mom started begging her to forgive and forget all her past deeds towards her and take her as her mother. Ndibe forgave her but it couldn't be as before. Ndibe got married to the prince the following market day and it was the talk of the town.

Did she say yes just to torment me? It was one sunny afternoon on a Saturday and I decided to take a quick walk down our street just while away time,it was boring inside,the nepa took the light so I had to just walk down the street to see some stuff,I live in a estate so we had gate at both ends,as I was walking I saw this beautiful lady and I decided to stop her, actually I am a graduate from one of our prestige university in Nigeria, engineer by profession with Masters,am doing pretty good,I have a car and I live in three bedroom apartment and I can also say I am capable as a man,when a man has all this he is expected to have one more thing, which is a woman by his side,I have been searching but i haven't been seeing the woman I want in all those ladies but here I am walking down my street looking at the perfect woman I want,I don't know her character but her physical features I love so much,so I decided to walk up to her... Lorenzo: hi my name is Lorenzo Gloria: my name is Gloria,how may I help you Lorenzo: Okay! I love your name, please can I be your friend? I saw you and I liked you. Gloria: really? No problem,if it's not more than friendship. Lorenzo: Don't worry I won't ask for too much,can I have your number? Please Gloria: Alright! No problem,let me type it on your phone. Lorenzo: Alright,thank you so much,I will surely give you a call. This was how I met Gloria and we became friends,we were so cool until I asked her out and she changed,she doesn't want to see me again and I kept wondering why,what went wrong but she wouldn't talk,the more she pushed me away the more I want to marry her,after some months and she realized I was serious about her she decided to give me a chance but she gave me one option and that is; no sexual activity until after our marriage,I love her so much so I consented to it. After few months of courtship we got *married and that was how it all started,on our wedding night I was so happy that at last we are married and no more restrictions but the more I wanted to touch her the way she pulled away from me,she said she was so tired so I thought maybe it's due to the stress of the wedding and I let her be,I pet her till she slept and I slept too,we woke up the next morning ,it was on a Sunday so we prepared for thanksgiving in church we got dressed and went to church, after everything we came home and we took our bath thinking my wife was ready but this time around she didn't yield too,she gave me an excuse again....* Throughout our honeymoon she didn't allow me to touch her,she always give excuses and I wondered what was actually wrong with her,I asked myself alot of questions, did she actually got married to me to torment me? She only wants me to suffer,alot kept poundering on my mind, months passed and I was tired already until one day I decided to leave home,I was tired ,when I came back she started begging me that she does not know what to do but it's not her fault,I was furious with her but I kept my cool. I told her if she doesn't allow me to touch her or tell me why she's doing this I will divorce her,so she knelt down and started crying, she told me she was raped while growing up and since then she hate men touching her but she knew I was different but she couldn't still allow me because she feels the hatred anytime I wanted to touch her and she doesn't know what to do. I was so shocked to hear her say that ,I never ever imagined that ,I only thought she wanted to make me suffer,I started acting gentle to her,I cuddled her and told her everything will be alright,we became more close than ever,I promised her I will never leave her,she was rest assured,now she doesn't hide anything from me, she shares everything with me,I never pestered her again but she came to me herself and engaged in the act,I loved her more and everything went back to normal again in our marriage, we love each other very well ,she got pregnant after two years and have birth to twins,it was the happiest day of my life, and I gave God all the glory.
