Anger: how do you control yours
How much do you understand the word ANGER?How do you control your Anger? Some find it hard to control it because it like a demon living inside of you. Some can control it but it sometimes hurt them and break them.
Wait before we proceed, What is anger?
According to Oxford language book, Anger is a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility.
"a strong feeling of being upset or annoyed because of something wrong or bad : the feeling that makes someone want to hurt other people, to shout, etc. : the feeling of being angry" merriam Webster.
But to me Anger is a demon who lives in living things to destroy them.
Anger has too many ways of dealing with its users. Those that find it hard to control destroy things around them,hurt people around them,break themselves into pieces. Some even find pleasure cutting themselves whenever they are angry. How often do you understand your own anger part and how you deal with it. Some get angry over little things and some get angry over what is worth getting angry for but how do you control that anger.
**My Anger Experience**
I use to have a friend who find peace in cutting himself with razor anytime he's angry with someone. I use to do these all the time which I do caution him on,but one day he was provoked to anger and he mistakenly stab himself forgetting no one is home. He was bleeding heavily,he realised his mistake and put a call to me to come over,I rushed to his place but its too late,he gave up the ghost before I got there.
Another experience was a lady friend, she is such a nice,beautiful, ambitious, generous, caring and adorable person but only one thing that spoil all these compliments is her ability not to control her anger. She had a boyfriend who they both have been together for years but she ruined it with her anger and inpatient. The guy proposed to her and they both planned to get married few months after. They visited both families and a date was fixed. But, unfortunately something happened and the wedding was cancelled. She didn't know her fiancee has a sister who live abroad and it was planned to be a surprise by the family. The day the sister came She went to her brother's house and was so relaxed. My friend came around and met her but didn't allow her talk before she start beating her up,she beat her till she was admitted to the hospital, the husband family got angry and arrested her but when the parents of my friend begged she was released and the wedding was cancelled.
I use to know a married couple,the wife has anger issue and she destroy virtually everything she layed her hands on. She breaks things especially TV . The husband always try not to get her upset but we can't cheat nature we can only control our ability to to deal with it.
There are some anger that are kind of funny like mine,whenever I'm angry I loose valuable things especially money. When I started my business,whenever I go to work and something or someone provoke me to anger I will surely loose huge amount of money. So many times these have happened but my eyes wasn't open to see this. The day it does I cried out and started asking for forgiveness from God. You see now whenever I am provoke I make sure I talk to the person so he/she can realise how I felt and I tried to take it off my mind. Sometimes when I see nobody to talk to I just go to the toilet start talk inside when I'm done I flush it and it all over.I am sometimes awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… but deep down I know it is difficult to get all which I want in life. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger. Whenever I'm angry at times I love to drink which I know is bad but still I will drink to stupor.
In conclusion,try to understand your Anger so you can get to know how to deal with it so you don't hurt anyone nor yourself. Best way I think you can control your Anger is to be silence,keep to yourself and avoid too much company else you can't get away with it. Find your Anger controller today and you will live a happy person.

A Thursday is a sign that you have already survived the week and you are almost there for the weekend. Stay calm and make it through smoothly. Good morning
I noticed we had grass growing rapidly inside my new compound, so, I & my neighbour decided to get rid of them.
I asked around and found someone who would do it.
Brought him to the compound, showed him around, so he said he'd clear it for 3K, but we can also negotiate.
Inside me, I was surprised because the work too big for that amount.
So, I told him we would give him 5K instead.
Mehn, the dude was overjoyed.
He ran off to get his working tools, got back and was almost starting off.
I asked him to halt, and confirmed if he's had something to eat.
He said -- No.
That he hasn't even eaten since the evening before.
I quickly prepared tea, bread and fried eggs for him.
Chai! Tears commot for the guy eye when I give am.
He finished eating, picked up his tools, and worked enthusiastically with all his heart.
At intervals, I'll stop what I was doing inside to check on him. Sometimes, chat and laugh with him. (Dude was a real jolly fellow eh, lol)
So, he rounded up for that day, and said he'd be coming around the next day to pack the dead grass.
I gave him the 5K.
He was really excited. I told him to take my contact so he could reach me before coming the next day, he said he would have loved to, but he doesn't have a phone
Said he sold it 2 weeks back, so he could eat. All he had left was his SIM.
I felt his pain, but I remembered I had an Itel phone I wasn't using, so I gave it to him+N500 for recharge card.
Tears just roll from the guy eye instantly.
And he said, one of the most deepest "God Bless You", I've ever gotten in my life.
So, he left excitedly.
And, for me -- I slept like a baby that night.
Dude came the next day, and continued the rwmaining task with so much passion.
I could literally see it all over him.
I shared from the rice I had left with him for breakfast, and by 12 noon, he was done with the whole task.
He thanked me endlessly, and left.
All these happened only two days ago
Now, I got a call very early today from him, and he gave me a great news.
He said his former Oga that relocated from Ibadan to Abuja, reached him on phone, the same yesterday, immediately he inserted his SIM into the phone I gave him.
And that his Oga told him he's been trying hard to reach him for weeks to no avail.
The Oga finally asked sent him N100k this morning.
Chai! Me sef come happy pass the guy sef.😁
He ended the call with these words --
"Senior man, if to say I no meet you, naso this one for take pass me oh".Tears just drop my eye, aswear.
Why my long boring story?
Always do little things you can do, to change people's lives. It might be little to you, but that might be the answers to their long-standing heart desires.
These bits of kindness must not come in monetary forms.
• You can tell people kind words.
• Give them a bit of your time
• Hear them out
• Give them warm hugs
• Never despise or look down on them
• Applaud them when they carry out duties for you
• Make them feel like the humans that they really are.
And, you might just be saving a life in the process.
The jungle isn't smiling, neither am I. The street get so hard to live in. Imagine going home with what the street afford to give and you got home and you were rejected for not bringing enough. Thanks @happyboy and @princessbusayo for the upvote
It never over
Many think it all over but nothing like over to me,I see many things ahead to crush,many Bridges ahead. Come to think of it how did I got myself into these mess. I'm always the best in virtually everything I do. While I was in nursery school I was so brilliant that I was given double promotion,when I got to primary and double promotion. My parents stop my promotion when I got to junior secondary school when I was supposed to be promoted to senior school from junior school 2 then I was only 12,to my parents I was too young. At 15 I was already done with my Secondary Education and was given admission same year. Had a four years course In the university and graduated with first class at 19. I went for my masters in Newyork City University because I processed a scholarship and it was successful.
After my masters I was given a job in Newyork City at age 22 I'm already earning big. I work so hard that I had no time for myself. I work 10hours and still work extra hours at home. Making myself busy so much I had no time for relationship. I got another job opportunity in texas and I had to move down there. When I got to texas things were going fine,I had a big apartment well furnished and I was okay by myself. I met kelvin Kyle,tall and handsome guy,he is what any lady of my age would want. He just lost his job the day we met,he was depressed and came to the same club where I went for a nice time all alone. I told him to move in with me because I love him already,we live together as couples,we were so great. Kelvin was all I got,my love and friend. We live together for two years.
One unfaithful day,I got to work and I was given a letter,when I checked oh God what have I done to deserve this,I have work so hard ,I have just lost my job,where am I going to start from. I left the work premises,It was so hard on me,I was carried away by my thoughts. I tried to call kelvin to explain things to him but his number wasn't going . I manage to get home but it was late in the afternoon but that's not the issue 'what's going on here',why is my door open. The entrance door was open widely,why I the sitting room empty,hope not what I'm thinking but it is ,I was just been robbed,but how,where is kelvin,I shouted his name but he's nowhere to be found. As I was trying to figure out what as befallen me,my neighbour came up to me "madam hope all is well did you forget something ",I was amazed by the question,I ask why he asked to my surprise she said "your husband sid you guys are moving back to your country. What country, when did I had such discussion with kelvin,that was when I accept I'm been dubed. But why have I not noticed these coming,I have just been dubed by my own boyfriend, I just lost my job,what is going on with my life,I just lost two things In a day. I slept in my empty room that night hoping I wake up from my dream but I woke up and realised it real. I was only trying to figure new way to get out of the shit when a mail came in,I'm been ask to come to the police station, for what on earth again,what have I done wrong.
I went to the station and I was asked my international passport then I know I'm been bewitched, kelvin as ruined me,if he want to steal from me what did he need my passport for.Before I know whats on everywhere went blank. I was asleep all through but when I woke up I am at muritala Muhammed Airport. Wait o,I'm been deported, where will I start from,what will I tell my family,my mum will be disappointed I'm only 25years now. I have no money on me,don't have any of my family's number off hand,how will I do this,how do I contact them I'm in Nigeria, I don't have any money on me,I slept at the airport without eating for a week before I decided on what to do.
I went outside the and see what I can do so atleast I can get money to take me to my family. No job without certificate, I started carrying load at the airport for people travelling in and out,It wasn't easy, some people even beat me if I make mistake on their luggage,most times I'm not allowed to sleep in the premisesof the port so I sleep on the street. I work as carrier at the airport for a month because it not easy saving money and I also thought of not going home just like that. I continue my carrier job at the airport for 6months not ashame anymore. I am able to save some money but trying to save enough so I can go home and start a business even if it little.
I work so hard and my mission was accomplished, I saved money and plan to start a business, but what business can such little money have got do that it will be productive.i want a daily need business. I spoke with one woman who we sleep together on the street then she introduced me to selling fresh fish from sea. I stop carrying load and start going to the seaside to buy fish from fishers and selling in the market. It wasn't easy,the job was stressful that sometimes i sleep at the seaside so I can see best fish early in the morning. I tried hard on my fish business but I couldn't manage it well so I stop and go for fruit business.
My fruit business go on well till the day I met an old school friend who came to buy from my store. We were happy to see each other,we discuss about life and then I had to explain things to her ,she promised to help but we have to visit her pastor. We fixed the day after we met to visit the pastor. We got there and the pastor prayed for me,then I started feeling some kind of pains in my head. I vomited something and the pastor said everything that happened wasn't ordinary. I thank God things are going well now and my fruit business is growing well enough. I will be visiting my family next weekend.
WISDOM SAYS:
*The only way to prevent having to start-over is to stop giving up. Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt and Dance like no one's watching!*
Have a Refreshing Tuesday.
"People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I've learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked.The man who lies to the world, is the world's slave from then on.There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.They are only nice when you are around, but will talk behind your back the second you leave. These energy vampires take advantage of you, use you, but are nowhere to be found when you need them.
Reason why I don't have friends
I remember when a friend poisoned my food but God used a 4 year old boy to save me. The boy said to me, "sister your friend put something inside your food" & when I confronted my friend she told me to my face that she will waste my life.
What is more shocking is the fact that a 4 year old boy knew I was about to be poisoned, from that day on I knew I was never alone, God is always with me.
Evil people everywhere😡

Tina: haha you dey fear.
Me: why i nor go fear, na only one life we get oh.
Tina: wether you die now or after 30 years time, e no matter so far say you still die.
I kept quiet, we arrive at the gate, she park outside, take her purse out as we hold each others hands and walk in like newly wedded husband and wife, we enter inside the gate and saw many cars park inside, i guess something big is going on today, she follow the main gate enter while i pass back enter choirester room, i quickly wear my choir garment and walk in and sat at the back of the choir seat, prayer is goin on, so nobody see me, i look at the congregation and saw mabel and her parents at the middle role wearing complete black, i also saw jack (mabel elder senior, now the most senior) putting on specs, i search for celestina and saw her at the extreme end, e be like say me and this girl get something in common because na back seat we dey always like to sit down.
I saw some new intruments at the first altar e be like say them don buy the new instrument for us at last, so after prayer pastor pray for the instrument, fine fine new instrument come see as people they happy and jubilate, but to me thats a total brouhaha because whats the need of buying new instrument when we cant use it till three months time,.
We arrange the instrument keep for instrumental room awaiting for the day to come when we will explore it, things go smoothly till offering time,
pastor: offering time.
Church: blessing time.
Pastor: it is good to give to the lord, God has bless us in so many ways we cant even imagine, so put your hand in your pocket and bring the biggest seed,.
Chai i forget to carry offering oh, na which kind wahala be this na, so everybody go come waka leave only me for seat, chai see fuckup oh.
We sing song and everybody started dancing, rejoicing to God, why i like my church be say we sabi praise God, wether instrument or not, we they dance like lord's chosen member wey them no they play band for their church, come see jubilation, from front row everybody dance commot for seat go put offering omo na wetin me go do now, so i dance follow them, i reach where i go put offering, i just chuck my hand put for the offering box like say i put offering (god go understand), then i dance like agama lizard back to my seat,.
When tina came out to offer her offering walking majestically not even shaking her hand, i keenly observe something, jack who was sitting down before stood up immediately, looking at tina surprisingly, tina didnt know but i saw him starring at her with red eye till she get to her seat, then he took his belongings and left the service to a place unknown to me.
We finish the service in peace by 1pm before then tina don they disturb my phone since say make we dey go house when preaching still dey go on, lol i guess shes not use to it, i told her to be patient that it is not good to leave the service without sharing the grace, she manage to hold on till we recess out, glory be to God at last service don end. i went inside and took my bible , i saw mabel coming over to my place, i quickly enter the dressing room and remove my garment i pass there come outside, why this girl dey do me like this na, she know the kind of suffer wey i suffer last time, or she nor dey pity me self, since that flogging every love wey i get for her disappear and as tina don come back na i dont think there is any possibility for me and her to be together again.
I ran outside the gate and saw tina standing at the back of the car,.
Tina: wetin come delay you like this?
Me: we been they discuss one issue like that choir stuff, make we they go na (i dont want mabel to meet us outside).
I enter the front seat while she balance at the driver's seat, she start the car, reverse and sped off, i look at the side mirrow and saw mabel coming out of the gate, looking her left and right as if she is looking for somebody, i just smile for my mind, na later wey my head come down i come know say no be my house we dey go.
Me: where are we going.
Tina: house.
Me: which house?
Tina: mine of course, any problem?
Me: no its just that i was expecting you to drop me at my house first.
Tina: i will drop you later in the evening dear lets go party.
Chai so me no go carry my blessing reach house na abi, no wahala the blessing wey my brother and my mum go carry come from their church go cover all of us, we drove silently then tina started looking at the side mirrow suspiciously i dey watch her as she continue to look at the side mirrow.
Me: why do you keep on staring at the mirrow like that?
Tina: that black suv car has been following us since we left church.
look back and saw the black car following us, so tina put more fire for the jar and start driving faster, the person fire im own motor too, oboy fear don they catch me oh e be like say na film i dey watch.
Me: who are they and what do they want?
Tina: i dont know, but dont worry i will take care of it, give me my phone inside the bag.
I open the bag, carry the phone and handed it to her, she dial one number like that.
Tina: 001 in need of assistance, a black SUV is trailing us, we are in.....
As she dey talk for phone, the motor get close hit us from back, her phone drop, i look the suv i nor see anybody because of the black glass, no number, every part was painted black, the car hit us again at the back,
Me: we have to do something or else the person will crush us, lets call the police.
Tina: no i will handle it, dont worry.
Did she just say i should not worry, i wish she no senior me i for give her back hand slap i fold my hands praying in my mind.
then the worst happen, the person sitting close to the driver of the SUV rolled down the glass, and brought a short gun, tina shouted at me to bend down, i obey like a diligent child, "kpoaaa they fired at us, bursting our tire, the car started rolling like ceiling fan, then "gboaa" we jam a tree.
.
I woke up still in the car, i wasnt hurt much, i look at the driver seat no sign of tina, na where she disappear go na, i look front and from the front mirrow i saw a man coming from my back holding a gun, my heart skip, i tried to unbuckle the seat belt but for where, the thing stuck e no gree release, why e be say na by this time the seat belt go come fuck up eeeh,.
The person came closer, he saw me trying to free myself from my seat, he pointed the gun at me, omo my own don finish be that, may God have mercy on my soul, then he pulled the trigger
"kpoooaaaai"
I thought i was dead, then i look up and i saw stains of blood all over car, i was kind of shock when i saw the person on the ground with stain of blood lying lifeless with a bullet hole on his head, i look back no sign of their car again, maybe the driver don run, then from nowhere somebody open the door of the drivers seat and sat down with gun on her hand.
Tina: are you alright?
I was shock i just wave my head like agama lizard, i didnt know what to say, i open my mouth to talk but nothing came out, she start the car the car no work, me i nor dey do again, i tried to unbuckle the seatbelt this time it give way, i remove it from my body, take my phone and get out of the car and start walking to nowhere in particular, she was inside shouting my name, "Emmanuel come back, where are you going?" but for where i nor even hear not to talk of answer, i still dey remember how i for die just now, she get out of the car and ran after me, standing on my front with hands akimbo,
Tina: where are going?

Mabel: hmmm, something happen at home, my brother friend was killed 3 hours ago, and i thought i could find some loving hands to lay my burden on, but here you are breaking my heart (she started crying)
She took her bag and walk out of me, she pause came back and give me a dirty slap, then she walk out.
Did i do the right thing?
The next morning i do my morning prayer, i check my phone and see 8 missed calls 6 from tina and two from unknown number, i didnt call back i nor get credit so i just leave the phone for ontop bed and got up and get set to go to school, i went to meet my mum.

Me: why you dey do like this na, okay give me your phone make i call person.
Austine: take and nor follow me again, infact carry the phone i dash you.
He gave it to me and leave me like that standing stranded.
I look left and right i thought i saw someone starring at me, so i ran back inside the building, i took the phone and dial tina's number, (she ask me to memorize her number incase of emergency) i dial the number no answer, i dial it again, this time she pick up.
Tina: hello (see her macho voice like mark henry).
Me: its me, i need your help.
Tina: Emmanuel, where are you?
Me: in my school, please come and pick me up.
Tina: i'll be right there, just hold on.
Me: make it quick am kinda scared.
Tina: dont be afraid my baby, i will be there in a minute.
Me: alright am waiting.
I cut the call and parabulate around the class, hitting the phone on my palm like a man waiting for his wife to put to bed, i waited for 5minutes or more before i heard the sound of her car, i went outside and saw the toyota van, she and edna came out of the car, i ran to her and gave her a surprising hug, she was kind of surprise, so she just hold me and tap me on my back like a little baby,.
Tina: come on we are here now, nothing will happen to you okay.
I join them in the car and we drove off.
Edna: so what really happen?
Me: we were coming back from school when they block us, we ran and they pursue us with guns and cuttlass.
Edna: waoh that is serious, so it has got to this.
Tina: you and who exactly.
Me: me and my friend austine.
Edna: so where is him now?
Me: he left me, a minute before i called you, he said he dont want anything to do with me again.

Me: i wont be needing you guys, cause am traveling next tommorow.
Tina: to where?
Me: to auchi.
Edna: thats their headquarter.
Me: at least they wont know me there, i will be on my own.
Edna: hahahaha they have people everywhere and since they now know, you are her weakness they wont stop until they get you except they get to her first.
Tina: i cant let you go there.
Me: really so how are gonna stop me?
Tina: am not going to stop, am just saying you are not going there alone.
Edna: i hope its not what am thinking tina?
Tina: it is dear you should take the other girls and leave, i will handle it my way.
Edna: we cant leave you, we are on family, any where you go we go.
Me: no no no no what are girls even saying, am going alone, nobody will go with me, i dont even want to see any of you please,
Tina: you dont understand, i killed the leader of black axe, and since they have know you, they will follow you anywhere you go, the one that happen today is just phase one, the next one will be bloody.
Me: thanks to you my life is turning upside down, from now on i will stop calling you and dont ever call me, stay away from me and my family just fucking drop me here let me go.
She hold the break and i almost hit my head on the glass. She got out of the car and open the door for me, she drag me out and put one hand on her waist and the other on the car.
Tina: (shouting) you think i dont know is my fault, or you think i dont regret all those things i have done, i killed somebody instead of me to run i came back for you, putting my friends life in danger, or you think i feel happy watching people die, its because i dont have a fucking choice, so what do you want me to do run and live my life like a coward, no i cant, i just cant, i can abandon my friends and most importantly you, (she put her hand on her head and walk back a little ) so you want to go, just go and you wont ever see me again ( she get inside the car and drove like a mad woman).
Did i do something wrong?
I walk to my house jejeje, thinking like a stranded person on the way, i need to stay low for now, at least if i travel they cant track me to my brother's house, i just told them am going to auchi, actually my brother live in jattu very close to auchi and that place is good for hiding, it wont be easy for them to get me there and i will always be indoor.
I got home and greet my parents, as usual my bros they watch film.
Cactus: na you and who fight wey come scatter your cloth like this.
Me: i nor fight, na bamboo we go cut for bush wey we go use stand goal post.
Cactus: you dey write exam you dey play ball abi?

Cactus: you finish wetin, hahaha e go take you like ten days for you to finish am.
Me: na you sabi, i don go sleep.
Cactus: by this time.
Me: yes i get choir practice by 6.
Cactus: bye bye.
I went to my bed and doze off, i woke late around 6:30pm, i quickly get ready and run to practice, i enter inside and sat at the back as usual, i saw mabel but i just bone her, as the practice was going on, i look at the window and saw one man dress in black with eye glass smoking, i got up.
Choir master: Emmanuel why are you standing up?
I nor even answer am self, i walk to the first door i saw two guys dress in black also, i went to the second door same thing, so i went to third door the same result, i look at the time, 8:00pm.
I know they are here for me but na how them take know say i dey church my guess is that somebody told them so what do i do now, my people just they practice them nor even know wetin they go on, i took my phone and dial Tina's number
"the number you are trying to call is currently switch off please try again later" na there i know heaven is near.
I was surrounded like someone who commited grave crime like killing the
president of Nigeria, I don't have anyother choice than to call Tina again,
I dial Tina number again but still not reachable na wa oh why e be say
na now wey I need her she come dey unreachable.
After my people practice
finish, I went to our leader to tell him to call the police that does people
are cultist, he laugh at me like an idiot telling me they are vigilante
that he verified from them just now and they are following Mabel, because
of what happen to her brother, they fear they might also try to kill her
that's why they are following her.
Following Mabel? let me go see her, I look for her I didn't see her again,
I ask her friend she said she's gone already, if she done go why them no
follow her commot if them truly they follow her, my people started going home one by one and the people no even stop them, and my people no fear
maybe them think say na vigilante them be true true, I saw my choir
master talking to one of them, then he point inside the church maybe telling them that am inside the church, I took my phone and enter the
instrumental room, I lock myself inside there after everybody don go house
finish, only me inside the church surrounded by cultist with gun and
cutlass, even though my grandpa do gun and cutlass medicine for me I still
they fear because I nor believe say e go work for me na just superstition,
I nor even want do am self but na my papa force me to do am, I hope the
medicine go save me for inside church today, na only God know sha.
Hoping for something else to save me when am in the house of God(the greatest
I was lost in my thought don't know what to do or where to go, if I call my brother, he will want to know everything that happen thereby exposing me to everybody beside I don't want to involve him because he is very
unpredictable, he might end up killing himself, I nor get any police number to call, and I don't even have Edna's number self, na which kind trouble I come put myself now eh, as I they think how I go take commot for
this kind trouble wey I put myself na im I hear somebody shout my name for church I was shocked, how did she know I was here, I answered her from inside then she came to the door and knock, even though I know its Mabel I
was still afraid because I thought she might bring them, afterall her
brother is the leader, I thought they cant come inside the church or was I wrong? mabel knock again then I heard her voice.
Mabel: Emmanuel is me please open up.
me: are you alone .
Me: of course am alone, just open up.
My mind come down small, lol I think say e don happen, I stood up and open the door there I met her standing alone.
Me: I thought you have gone home already.
Mabel: I was waiting for u outside since you didn't come out I decided to come check on you, why are they looking for you?
Me: you mean the people you brought?
Mabel: brought as in?
Me: choir master said they came with you.
Mabel: that's a lie, I came alone, and I ask again why are they looking for you.
Me: come inside first.
I took her hand and draw her inside the room.
Mabel: tell me why are they looking for you? She said as she sat down She sat on a table facing me exposing her fresh legs.
Me: I don't know oh, I didn't do anything.
Mabel: are you sure.
Me: what! you think am lying, what are you even doing here self?
She stood on her sit and came to sit close to me.
Mabel: I thought I can do it.
Me: do what?
Mabel: I thought I can stay without seeing you, I thought I can live without you,
I turn my head to the opposite direction, she turn my head back and give me a kiss, I remove my mouth quickly,
Me: we are inside church.
Mabel: yes I know that would be better cus we will be bond in love and in Christ.
Me: you are not serious.
She took my head again and started kissing me, I wanted to remove my head but she hold me tight, I struggle to free myself unfortunately we fell on
the floor with her on top me, she continue kissing me, I turn her over, she use her leg to wrap me like snake, I sat ontop her and look her at her eyeball.
Mabel: you broke my flower and you are my first love its either you love me or you kill me cus am not ready to give up on you.
I look her from her head to breast, gush that breast is to tempting to
resist, I tear her shirt open and suck it, she fold her hands around my neck and moan, I removed my belt and bring out my dick I open her leg wide,
shift her pant to one side and insert my anaconda while she scream like someone who is about to give birth, i fuck her very hard with anger, she was screaming and shouting telling me to take it easy, the more she scream
the more I fuck her harder, I fuck her for upto five minutes before I
release inside her, I lay ontop her like dead person,.
Oh shit what did we just we did ( na now i remember say i dey trouble), I quickly stand up and buckle my belt sat on the chair and put on hand on my head.
Mabel: whats wrong, didn't you enjoy it?
Me: enjoy? people are outside waiting for me to come outside so that they will kidnap me or probably kill me and we are here having sex inside church.
Mabel: I don't feel guilty at all.
Me: why would you? am the one they fucking want not you so i dont see how you will feel guilty here.
She readjust her pant, when she bring her hand out of her pant I saw blood I thought I already disvirgin her.
Mabel: am ready to take any risk with you.
Me: really?
Mabel: yes and am ready to do anything you want me to do.
Me: if so then call your brother to call his men back.
Mabel: what, who told you they are my brother's men?
Me: because your brother is the leader of black axe.
Mabel: so how do you know that they are black axe?
Me: come on Mabel, am not a kid, I know cultist when I see one and beside only black axe wear that type of berret.
Mabel: you sure they are my brother's ** men?
Me: am very sure and am positive.
**The end**
Mabel took her phone and dial her brother's number, I don’t know why she use another language that I don’t understand to speak with her brother, after they talk for like six minutes she cut the call and open the door.
Me: what are you doing?
Mabel: come on let’s go they are gone.
Me: are you sure?
Mabel: 100%.
We came out of the door together and enter inside the main church, we find our way to the first door, I look around and saw nobody.
Mabel: I told you they are gone.
we came out of the gate, I look left and right and saw nobody,
Me: you should be going home now, I will find my way okay.
Mabel: alright love call me when you get home oh.
me: alright.
we separate from each other, she go left while I follow right, I was walking looking at my shoulder, I haven’t walk up to 2 minutes when I heard sound from my back, I look back and saw nobody, I felt like somebody is following me so I hasten my footstep, after walking 2 minutes I saw two men dress in black coming towards me from my front I turn back and ran inside a street they ran after me, we have two roads in that village two of them are tiled with coater, I was following the old road before when I saw them I ran into a street heading to the new road, after running two minutes getting to the new road now I saw another guys coming from my front, I turn left and ran between houses, I pass corner corner go back to the old road I look back I nor see them again, So I started running to my house almost getting close to my house now I saw at my frontage a Toyota Camry 2.4 park at the road to my house, with two guys with heavy guns standing at each door, me running towards them fell on the ground when they point the gun at me, I was breathing heavily not knowing what to do, they came closer to me and Point the ** gun at my head, I was like so na like this I go die now eh.
guy 1: you don run finish?
I was so afraid to speak, I was shaking as if I dey inside Iceland.
guy 2: carry am enter motor make we dey go joor no time to waste.
they move me from the ground like say I nor get weight, they put me at the back seat. then one of them make a call.
“we don get am make una go back house tell her say we don get am” I look at the person that make the call, Jack, Mabel’s brother, that was the last thing I saw before they cover my face like criminal, but who be her wey im dey talk about, i think there is something fishy going on that i dont understand.
They drive for fifteen minutes before they stop from my calculation it’s either they are in Auchi, Amen or Sabongidda-Ora, they park the car and they drag me inside a building with my face still blindfolded they make me to sit down on a chair, while they tie my hands and the chair with rope, they left me there blindfolded.
I been dey watch those kind thing for film I never still believe say na me e dey happen to or perhaps somebody need to wake me up from my sleep, I was still thinking loud when somebody walk inside the room the person came closer to me and unmask me.
At first everywhere was dark and blurred in my eye no window, just one door guarded by two men with heavy guns, they all dress in black, then later my eye start to dey clear small small, I saw somebody siting on my front dressed like blade (Wesley snipe) I was tired and tasting, what did I do to be treated this way, can I not date who ever i want again, if she’s a cultist wetin come concern me na.
Jack: I believe you know me.
Me: i need water,
Jack: you will get water when you finish answer my question.
Jack: so do you know me.
me: no I dont know you.
Jack: am the brother of the girl you have be fucking mabel, and the brother to whom your girlfriend killed.
me: is that why you kidnap me?
jack: yes, I believe you know a girl called Celestina the one that killed my brother.
me: yes I know her,
jack: good at least you are truthful, am looking for her and you are going to help me find her.
me: well am sorry am not going to help you find anybody.
jack: you don’t really have a say now because the ball is not in your court.
He called another guy from inside to bring his phone, the guy brought it and Jack dial number and put it on loud speaker.
TIna: hello.
jack: hello sweetheart,
Tina: Jack.
Jack: oh yeah it’s me, I told you you will hear from me very soon.
Tina: I told you never to call my number again.
Jack: oh yeah, I remember that vividly, but this one is very urgent.
Tina: what is it.
Jack: I have somebody here that will like to talk to you.
He move the phone closer to me and command me to speak, I didn’t want to say anything but when he hit me gun on my face with blood gushing out my head, I shouted in pain.
Tina: Emmanuel is that you ( with her voice raised)
me: yes it’s me, (sobbing) please get me out of here.
Tina: just hold on I will get you out, you hear me I will make sure i get you out.
Jack move backward and cut the call.
Me: you know you are a coward, instead of you to take the fight to her, you are here kidnapping her boyfriend.
jack: been coward make me to survive till now, I was ordered to keep you alive but if I hear one more word from you I think I will have to break that order.
waoh he was ordered that means theres someone higher than him, but who might that be.
his phone ring again and he pick it up,
“it’s very simple come to Amen road, somebody will be there to pick you up”
I guess Tina is giving herself up for me, that’s something I don’t like, Jack turn to me and said.
Jack: your love is coming to trade herself for you so I expect you to cooperate, if you don’t I will have to blow your brain off I don’t mind what she will do.
Me: who is the she?
Me: someone higher than me and somebody close to you.
Somebody close to me? Who might that be, i ask for water and i was given water to drink, I guess the time will be around 1am in the midnight, I heard noises outside then all of a sudden Jack run to my side stay at my back and point a gun at my head, then the gorgeous angel walk in, all dress in white, white shoe, white shirt, white trouser and white handglove waoh she really look like an angel, with her two hands up and six guns pointed to her head.

Felix was struggling trying to free himself from the grip and the fish was slowing down still holding hom tight, my bros took bamboo wood from the ground and ran to the front, before the deepest part there is one big tree that fell on the river creating a crosspart, my brother quickly climb the tree, i reach there omo i nor fit climb this tree oh e dey too tiny, even the other guys no climb am, maybe na boyscout wey my brother join give am mind like that my brother set the bamboo tree downward as the fish approach, e be like say the fish don tire because e don they slow down, so as the fish approach the tree, felix rose his hands up and grip the bamboo stick, the fish still try to pull felix from the bamboo, therefore making my brother to fall inside the river, as my brother fell ontop the river, i quickly look for another bamboo and throw it to them, e be like the fish don go, because i nor see am again, my brother drag felix from the river as he grip the bamboo, while i pull them from the deep blue sea with felix bleeding badly.

TBC
The feelings underneath ,
Which make me feel relax ,
That bring good memory ,
Closing my eyes to the world,
Make me hear my heartbeat,
Then I open my eyes and it a new day.
Happy new month read.casher
Remember
Will you remember me in six seconds, Pending the time we are together, Having you all over me, How much you showed me you love me, The beds we both layed on, Also those desires glowing openly
in eyes that looked at you,
trembling for you in voices-
only sometime i get frustrated .
Now that it's all finally a memory,
it seems almost as if I gave myself
to those desires too-how they glowed, When I look into your eyes, I trembled hearing those voices. You told me we're forever.
Will you remember me in six minutes, Praying for forever life with you, Veiwing the memory we had together, Setting a goal in my mind for us, But you left me no choice, You gave me no other choice, than to tear us apart after, You told me we stay forever.
Will you remember me in six hours, I left only because you requested, Knowing fully well you stole my heart, Memories had together is hard to forget, Seeing pictures of us in my gallery, Knowing well you are not mine anymore, You promise us forever.
Will you remember me in six days, I look out the window to see if you come by, I wait on the sound that came from my phone, I tried not to transfer the anger on people, You say we're bound forever.
Will you remember me in six weeks, Memories of us sitting by the window, Picturing forever together, I feel like I'm a fool trusting your words, I imagine things in my head which isn't right, I am been stab by the one I cared for, You promise to be by me forever.
Will you remember me in six months, Oh yes I remember when we first met, I showed you to everyone around me, My friends see us on media and laugh, I thought they were jealous of us, They say many bad things about you, I ignore them and believe your words, I ask if we're doing short or long time, You look me like I'm an asshole but, You said it forever.
Will you remember me in six years, Laughing at my best person at the moment, Seeing everything as nothing for love, Ignoring red sigh and focus on the green which, The vacations on the beach side, The tour we had which you promise me soon, Soon our kids we go with us, You promise me to be a forever.
Now,Close to the door, knock knock knock but, you ask "who is there" which means you forget me, You forget all the promises , You left me with no choice, I can't stand the shame you created for me, I'm so ashamed of myself, That it all ended this way, You did not remember me.
Thanks @HappyBoy for the advice and encouragement
Cheating:my examination experience
Lead images
This topic is prompted by @JonicaBradley
Some feel like they're perfect,they know everything. Sometimes I look at myself and be like yes I can do anything by myself but when I try so hard and see things isn't going as planned then I know I have to go by the law of politics which stated that "the ends justifies the means". What the statement means is that no matter the way you use,how you do it let the end judge the means taken.
I remember when I was in school 100 level 2nd semester I had a carry-over of a political science course,when I got to 200 level 2nd semester I have to the the carry-over course,it wasn't easy for me because I was having 16courses for my 200level adding the CO make it 17 courses. I was suppose to be attending lecture for the CO class but the class was also fixed with one of my 200level course so it hard. I tried to buy the course handbook but the book was too big and historical so it was hard spiring time to read it. I have 4 other course mate with me make us 5 that had the CO. We talk to the lecturer teaching the course he said we should fix when we can have chance for test,we fix a day for it and haaaa it wasn't easy,the test was like exam,the man was even causing us that if we don't write it well we are still going to fail. Some of us tried to cheat but me I am proving good girl. Three days later,the man send someone to give us the result and I scored 9/30. I felt like I should cry but the I saw that even those that manage to cheat also failed,I was even the second highest mark. We decided to ask the lecturer for AOC when the exam was approaching,he said there is nothing like that. How do we do it that we wont fail the course again,we all tried and organise a night class so we can read and discuss what we all understand on the course.
**The Exam**
On the exam day I was having a course from my 200level with the carry-over course at thesame time. How do I do it so I don't fail any of the two courses and I only have 1hr 30min. I did my 200level course first because i know the course so well so it make it faster and within 45mins I was done. I proceed with the carry-over course,when I saw the questions I know there is no remedy I have to copy but how,then I remember I have my mobile phone with me. At first I was scared because the hall was so full and there was 4 invigilators so how do I do this and won't be caught. The person sitting beside me was a final year student and if I am been caught he will be implicated for allowing me and I also have to pass the course. Luckily noise came from outside the hall and two invigilators went outside,the hall was big and I was sitting in the middle. I brought out my phone and started browsing out the answers to the questions,It was hard for me to balance my fear with my courage,my hands were shaking and I couldn't stop looking around. 40mins passed already and people started submitting the hall is getting scanty, I have only been able to answer question one which also has 3 extra questions,the invigilators started shouting "get ready to stop",stop bawo that have not answered second question. I start the second question this time writing faster to meet up,we were given extra 10min because of the CO and I was able to answer all the questions.
When the result was out,I had A was happy but also said because I know within me I cheated so I could pass the course but then I remember Machaveli's political theory of ends justifying the means. The end (result) of the means (cheat) I took gave me a good ending (A).
Believe
I remember when I was still playing active football, a guy came to our training pitch and challenged all of us that no one could run as fast as him and he was willing to stake 10k, he also have a hypeman who confirmed that he's very fast and that he'd gap any one of us, It became so embarrassing and my coach at the time (Coach mick) called me forward to take him on and staked 10k. I saw the confidence he had in me and I was so motivated, his only pep talk was "go and show him".We started the race and I gapped the werey and he was so ashamed.
The point here is that, it's good to believe in yourself but having people that believes in you gives you more strength. If you have people like that, they are your super powers, hold them dearly. It take someone a whole before they can believe in you. For people to believe in you and have confidence in you,you must have given them many reasons to believe in you. Your way of life,your character, your way of thinking and reasoning, your talking,the way you relate to people,all these are some criteria that shows yes I can confined in someone. My coach didn't see me as a girl before sending me forward on the challenge, he saw the passion in me and knows I can so even when I was scared but the way he singled me out of the other male players which I'm the only female gave me the strength to go on with the challenge.
When I was in the University I studied education,during my teaching practice I do woke up too early to get to my school of practice. When the class teacher of the class saw that I do came before everyone,she gave me the key to the class. When I was sick to my surprise teachers from the school came to check on me. They all know me in the school because I lead the assembly even on Friday that is Muslim prayer,I learn so fast in how they do things and I abide by everything. When my practice was over they all told me not to leave that they still want me around to teach. It is what I laid down that make them feel like retaining me. Give the chance for people to be able to believe in you.
African parents
I saw an article on noise.cash and I was surprised with what the writer wrote. I will be quoting @**Kenechukwu** from noise.cash
"Are parents ready to punish their kids for commiting an offence? When a kid commits offence at home, school or other public gathering, their parents often prefers to set their kids free without giving them the privilege to pay for their misdeeds. In fact, one of the childhood memories l have about parent child relationship is the fact that alot of parents - not mine - can overlook and cover up the sin of their kids all in the name of parental love. They go as far as exchanging abusive words or blows with anyone that dares to discipline their kids for doing the wrong thing. Funny enough, teachers are also not exempted from their attack. Up till date, l still see parents that turn blind eye on the misbehavior of their kids and choose to cover up their mess all in the name of parental love. They go as far as covering up their crimes and doing anything possible to make sure that they would escape being punished for their actions"
After reading the article it took my memory back to when I was growing,I can virtually say most things I'm been punished for isn't my fault. My dad is a military officer,he do treat me like offenders,he beat me like I'm the most annoying child in the world. I have other four siblings but I can say I'm the only one he do beat. Sometimes I do feel like maybe he's not my dad or something or maybe he hates me so much that he can't murder me so he should beat me endlessly. Smiles,the last beating I received from my dad was funny and deadly.
On that faithful afternoon,my dad was on a night duty so he will resume work by 4pm. He ask me to cook his lunch which will also serve as his dinner. I prepared solid food but can't remember which one,after he ate part he ask me to come and take the remaining,I took it to the room for my junior ones to eat,oh yes I also have my little cousins around and they all ate the food. One of my cousins used the plate I used to serve soup to eat and it mistakenly fell,haaaa at that moment I know I'm done for,even before my dad get to the room I was already crying,he entered the room already prepared holding his military netal belt,he ask everyone in the room to get out then I know here comes my death. My own so called dad locked the door and beat me till I started bleeding from my head. I was having a low cut hair so it was so easy for my head to 😢 tear, our co-tenants were at the door shouting out at him to open the door but my dad's beating hormones are just getting stronger the more people knock. He beat me till his satisfaction then open the door,our co-tenants came in to see me laying on the floor crying,they took me outside and to their surprise blood was all-over my face on top wetin I no do,our co-tenants had to look for razor to cut off my hair so they can see my scarp.
Till today I still remember that day and be like no I will never lay my hands on any child,my child or not mine I will never beat any child. I'm a teacher but I fear to teacher because of my anger part so I won't end up beating a child to stupor. Nobody can tell me parents don't punish their kids they should ask me I will tell you the story of my life. As for me I fear African parents o. It so bad to beat children to stupor, I don't support beating and st same time I don't support spoiling the child.
There are ways you can punish a child when he/she sid wrong without using harmful objects.Show and tell. Teach **children** right from wrong with calm words and actions. ...
Set limits. ...
Give consequences. ...
Hear them out. ...
Give them your attention. ...
Catch them being good. ...
Know when not to respond. ...
Be prepared for trouble.
Instead of punishing them why not go by the above listed to do,don't take decipline for punishment.Discipline may feel as though you’re punishing your kids. However, discipline is more of a means of actively engaging with kids to help mold their moral character — a way to teach them right from wrong. And this is a skill that is vital to functioning in society especially in African world.“With discipline, we’re teaching our children self-control and restraint,” explains Dr. Gaydos. “Punishment is a direct, pointed penalty or a loss of privilege that serves as retribution.”While discipline is far more effective than punishment, know that it does require a little more work. Just remember that it’s a process. Understand your youngsters and by that you know what best to train them right.

My fear
I woke up and check my time it 3:45am,it almost dawn. I look around and to see if anyone is still in the room because it my wedding day so no one is around. I go into deep thought of what the big day will be and the day after which took me to my past.
****School days****
I gained admission in October into a private university,I was so overwhelmed because it been three years after my Secondary school and all effort wasn't seems enough. The admission came in few days after my birthday. Oh I forgot to tell you,on the evening of my birthday my dad told me I must gain admission that year,firstly,no hope of gaining admission anymore because it already October and names were already shortlisted in the school I choose so I was so sad because I know It not possible. Few days after I got a message from jamb that have been offered admission in a private university,I find it hard to believe,I went online to confirm the name and location of the school and see if I can get the contact of any officials from the school. Luckily I was able to get the admission officer's number,I called the number and spoke with the person and was told it real. The message came in on Friday evening so I prepare myself on Saturday for a journey on Sunday.
I left lagos for ilorin early in the morning,I got to the park early but passengers aren't coming so I changed plan,went to ibadan Park and I was the last passenger needed. When I got to ibadan i boarded another bus going to ilorin from there when i got to the location i was told to highlight,i highlighted with a guy, unknown to the two both of us we are voing to the same place.
Let me fast forward it to second semester where the whole thing happened. I met a guy who ask me out,i felt so reluctant but the pressure was too much and because i dont have anyone I'm dating all my close friends then had who they are dating so they ignore me after school hours. We were together for a month before he started asking for sex,i rejected him because i have never had it before but to him i was lying. One thursday,he requested i bring food for him in his house,i was scared but her promise nothing will happen. I took the food to him and he forced himself on me. I was crying and pained,angry at thesame time,i hate him and hate myself,blamed myself for going to his house in the first place. Weeks gone,i started avoiding him,i overstayed in school,went to school so early so we wont have the chance of seeing,i now hate to see him because of the fear of having sex or been forced again. The next month,i discovered I'm feeling strange so i went to the hospital,to cut the long story short i was pregnant, haaaaaa how will i face my family,what will i tell them,I'm in my first year in school, no i cant. I called him and told him,he said i should keep it but i said no because of the fear of my parent. He agreed with me and we did the abortion and after it was successful we ended the relationship.
A year later,i met another guy who claim to love me,although I'm still not over the past incident but i love the new guy. "Why do guys like to force ladies to sex when we refuse them,must there be sex before you know love existed". I was raped this time again,i used contraceptive but to my surprise i was pregnant again,the guy said he didnt want the pregnancy,i cried out,how will i keep a child that has no father,he is a pharmacist so he gave me a drug to use. I make the same mistake the second time. After the abortion was successful he start giving excuse and left me. Since then men became air to me,i refuse to see any man,i hate men with passion,i fear relationship because of my past.
**My fear come**
Years pass I'm still single even after school. I got a good job and living okay but deep down I'm not living because i dont sleep at night because of the fear in my head. I sleep only 3-4hours at night. I overwork myself at work and get home late night since i dont have anything doing because i live alone.i don't have any friend. One sunday evening,i decided to visit my estate field because i was bored and i so much love football,so i decided to go to the field for the first time since i moved to the estate. Sat in a corner puting on my headset to avoid guys because i discover i was the only female on the field. The match was about to start when i got there,at half time i decided to get a snacks from the woman selling goods at the entrance, i so much love coaster biscuits so i bought it,the woman also sell bear so i told her to help pour a bottle of trophy in a plastic because she didn't have can. Unknown to me there was a young handsome man looking at me,well that's non of my business i dont care. I bought what i wanted to buy and left because the second half as started already. I sat down watching and enjoying the drink and snacks when the guy i saw earlier walk up to me. He ask to sit beside me and i told him it a public place so he sat. We watch the ball till it end,i stood up to leave when he insisted to walk me home. We exchanged contact and became friends.
A year and six months later he ask me out,at first i felt like no then later i accepted. We dated for 2years before he proposed and we went for introduction. Three months after the introduction comes our wedding. Now my conscience wont let me be. The fear of getting married to have sex. The fear of not been able to get pregnant. So many thought come in my head that make me want to cancel the wedding. Today is the day,how will i tell my husband to be about the part that make me cry and have sleepless night,how will i explain to my family if i am unable to conceive few months after the wedding,how will i tell my husband i dont like sex because we both agreed not to have sex before marriage.
When you meet someone and you both love eachother do not hesitate to tell him/her your deepest secret because if he/she later get to know it will destroy the relationship. I'm taking my fear into my marriage because I was scared if I have told him about it early he won't marry me but now I am getting married with fear that I unfortunately I can't conceive and we visit the hospital and we were told I can't conceive this will break my marriage and everything about my life is finish.
Someone should really answer these questions.....the Bible is all about Israel and their God....so who created other people?
Why would God choose only them and leave others hanging?
And yes....who were the people instructed not to kill Cain if there were only Adam, eve and Cain?
I'm tired of trying to figure it out...
@princessbusayo thanks alot for the upvote
My mom love to cook beans, but before she cooks the beans, she picks the bad and useless beans and throw them at the backyard whilst she cook the good beans. But when it rains, the bad beans becomes seed and grows up and looks beautiful. The same person who threw them away start to harvest them. She realises that the beans she threw away has VALUE. Don't cry when people THROW you at the BACKYARD, don't cry when people REJECT you, don't cry while they are LOOKING DOWN on you. The RAIN is coming and the same people who are REJECTING you today will beg to HARVEST you tomorrow.
My neighbour
I detest men who gossip.
This past Thursday two of my neighbors that are best friends had a fight; I knew about it but decided not to come out and separate the fight because I know they needed to fight for some truth to be revealed.
Yesterday my landlord had a meeting with all the tenants & these two neighbors of mine (grown men) started insulting each other, and in the process one of them confessed to me about the things the other one has been saying against me😂😂😂😂One of the tenants who happens to be pregnant started to calm me down not to react & I laughed because I already knew they've been gossiping about me.
Well, I already have a plan to move out of the apartment to somewhere else maybe this week, so that they can continue their gossip on a new tenant.Some time ago a guy called Moses gossiped about me to someone, later I called and asked him why he said the things he said about me and he was shocked. He was like, "how did you know about it, you were not there when I said it?"
I laughed & I said to him, "my ears👂are everywhere."
But do you think you can gossip about someone God is interested in & you think God won't reveal it to him? Aaron & Miriam gossip about Moses & God exposed them by revealing it to Moses, and Miriam was punished for that.
God has a way of defending His chosen ones. To some people gossiping is so easy that they forget the walls have ears,they forget we can't know eachother's mind,forgetting that the person of discuss can later hear and how will the person feel. Those that disgust me the most are those who called themselves friends and at your back they gossip about you.
We all be careful of those who love you in the eye but do not love you in the mind
Yoruba history
As of the 7th century BCE the African peoples who lived in Yorubaland were not initially known as the Yoruba, although they shared a common ethnicity and language group. By the 8th century, a powerful kingdom already existed in Ile-Ife, one of the earliest in Africa. It is said to be *Ile-gbo* (capital of the realm of humanity, based on the oldest predynastic traditions of its being associated with Oba Tala, Oro-gbo (Shango) and Otete (Oduduwa) .
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorubaland https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ile-Ife https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%BB%8Cbatala https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shango https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oduduwa
The historical Yoruba develop *in situ*, out of earlier Mesolithic Volta-Niger populations, by the 1st millennium BCE. Oral history recorded under the Oyo Empire derives the Yoruba as an ethnic group from the population of the older kingdom of Ile-Ife. The Yoruba were the dominant cultural force in southern and Northern, Eastern Nigeria as far back as the 11th century.
The Yoruba are among the most urbanized people in Africa. For centuries before the arrival of the British colonial administration most Yoruba already lived in well structured urban centres organized around powerful city-states (*Ìlú*) centred around the residence of the *Oba*. In ancient times, most of these cities were fortresses, with high walls and gates.Yoruba cities have always been among the most populous in Africa. Archaeological findings indicate that Òyó-Ilé or Katunga, capital of the Yoruba empire of Oyo (fl. between the 11th and 19th centuries CE), had a population of over 100,000 people.For a long time also, Ibadan, one of the major Yoruba cities and founded in the 1800s, was the largest city in the whole of Sub Saharan Africa. Today, Lagos (Yoruba: *Èkó*), another major Yoruba city, with a population of over twenty million, remains the largest on the African continent.
Archaeologically, the settlement of Ile-Ife showed features of urbanism in the 12th–14th century era. In the period around 1300 CE the artists at Ile-Ife developed a refined and naturalistic sculptural tradition in terracotta, stone and copper alloy – copper, brass, and bronze many of which appear to have been created under the patronage of King Obalufon II, the man who today is identified as the Yoruba patron deity of brass casting, weaving and regalia. The dynasty of kings at Ile-Ife, which is regarded by the Yoruba as the place of origin of human civilization, remains intact to this day. The urban phase of Ile-Ife before the rise of Oyo, c. 1100–1600, a significant peak of political centralization in the 12th century,is commonly described as a "golden age" of Ile-Ife. The oba or ruler of Ile-Ife is referred to as the Ooni of Ife. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volta-Niger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_millennium_BC https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_history https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyo_Empire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_colonial https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibadan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-Saharan_Africa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_language https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ile-Ife https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculptural https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-alloy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obalufon_II https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oba_(ruler) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ooni_of_Ife
Ife continues to be seen as the "Spiritual Homeland" of the Yoruba. The city was surpassed by the Oyo Empire as the dominant Yoruba military and political power in the 11th century.The Oyo Empire under its oba, known as the Alaafin of Oyo, was active in the African slave trade during the 18th century. The Yoruba often demanded slaves as a form of tribute of subject populations,who in turn sometimes made war on other peoples to capture the required slaves. Part of the slaves sold by the Oyo Empire entered the Atlantic slave trade.Most of the city states were controlled by Obas (or royal sovereigns with various individual titles) and councils made up of Oloyes, recognised leaders of royal, noble and, often, even common descent, who joined them in ruling over the kingdoms through a series of guilds and cults. Different states saw differing ratios of power between the kingships and the chiefs' councils. Some, such as Oyo, had powerful, autocratic monarchs with almost total control, while in others such as the Ijebu city-states, the senatorial councils held more influence and the power of the ruler or *Ọba*, referred to as the Awujale of Ijebuland, was more limited.In more recent decades, Lagos has risen to be the most prominent city of the Yoruba people and Yoruba cultural and economic influence. Noteworthy among the developments of Lagos were uniquely styled architecture introduced by returning Yoruba communities from Brazil and Cuba known as Amaros/Agudas.
Yoruba settlements are often described as primarily one or more of the main social groupings called "generations": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_city https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyo_Empire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaafin_of_Oyo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_slave_trade https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oba_(ruler) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oba_(ruler)#Aristocratic_titles_among_the_Yoruba https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ijebu_Kingdom https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awujale_of_Ijebuland https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilians_in_Nigeria
*The "first generation" includes towns and citiesknown as original capitals of founding Yoruba kingdoms or states.
*The "second generation" consists of settlements created by conquest.
*The "third generation" consists of villages and municipalities that emerged following the internecine wars of the 19th century.

Thorn bushes
Our fathers lied to us
They say night will be over amd morning will smile on us,they said something about future but now we can see,it's all fiction, we have waited for years,our hope melt away and crystallises into fear and uncertainty.
Our fathers lied to us,they say there is a garden at the end of the tunnel,but here we are afraid to take a step for the garden now grows thornbushes
Then dark with dripping blood it gave a howl
and cried again: 'Our damaged branches ache!
Your pillage maims me! Can't you feel at all?
We who were men are now this barren brake.
You'd grant us your respect and stay your hand
were we a thicket not of souls but snakes.'
As wood still green starts burning at one end
and from its unlit end the burning stickdrips sap, and hisses with escaping wind,
so from the broken stump there oozed a mix
of words and blood: a frothy babbling gore.
I dropped the branch. My fear had made me sick.
'Poor wounded soul, could he have grasped before,'my sage replied, 'what now he sees is true,and blindly trusted in poetic lore,
then he need not have so insulted you.
But as there was no other way to learn
I urged him to a test that grieved me too.
Tell us who you were, that he, in turn,
can set your honor freshly back in style
among those he will teach when he returns.'
All that glitter
The phrase " All that glitters is not gold" emphasizes the fact that everything that appears to be beautiful and attractive may not be so. Many things that have a fancy exterior and shine like gold may not be as valuable. This holds true for people too. Many people appear to be beautiful and friendly but in reality they may not be so.
I will be giving my experience on this,so you can understand more and learn from it
The myself and my friend lived in a village. It was for the first time that we were travelling to the city. We were quite excited about our trip. We had planned to visit many places within the city and do a lot of shopping. Anil (my friend)especially wanted to purchase a watch. She had been saving for it since a long time. She was discussing about her plan of purchasing a watch from the city with me just when the passenger sitting next to us overheard our conversation.
He took out two sparkling watches from his bag and showed it to us. Anil was enticed by the beauty of those watches. She decided to purchase one of them at once. However, i was a bit sceptic about her decision. I could not trust the man selling the watches as he said that the glistening strap of those watches was made of gold. He charged heavily for the watches. I warned Anil not to purchase the watch from the man as i suspected he was lying. However, Anil was so attracted to the beauty of the watch that he did not listen to me. She happily handed a large sum of money to the stranger in exchange for a watch.
Few days later, the watch stopped working. Anil took it to the nearby shop to get it repaired. It was then that he learned that the watch was made of an ordinary material that only sparkled like gold but was not precious at all. She realized that all her money had gone down the drain and felt extremely disappointed. She regretted taking hasty decision even after being warned by me.
Since then, Anil took all the decisions very cautiously after assessing all the pros and cons. This is how each one of us should act in life as ‘all that glitters is not gold’.
**Phrases Similar to ‘All that Glitters is not Gold’**
The phrase, ‘all that glitters is not gold’ is an improvised version of the original saying, *‘all that glisters is not gold’ which appeared in Shakespeare’s popular play, The Merchant of Venice in the year 1596.*Many similar phrases have been coined by various writers from time to time. For instance, Geoffrey Chaucer’s poem, The House of Fame’ included, ‘Hit is not al gold, that glareth’. The poem was published in the year 1380. Alian de Lille, the 12th century French theologian wrote, ‘Do not hold everything gold that shines like gold’. The Latin version of the phrase is ‘Non omne quod nitet aurum est’
Other similar phrases include, ‘appearances are deceptive’, ‘never judge by appearances’ and ‘never judge a book by its cover’. These are all used commonly and convey the same meaning however none is as popular as Shakespeare’s ‘all that glitters is not gold’.
This is a warning for each one of us especially for those who take hasty decisions just by looking at a thing, situation or person at the surface level. It is a warning for those who just look at the external beauty of things rather than analyzing their actual worth. This is because everything that is appealing to the eye may not be actually good. Just as there are many things that sparkle and shine but not all of them are as precious as gold.

Patience alongside hope
I live in a place that has battled a long drought. Everywhere i look, the soil is cracked, dusty, and lifeless. It is like it never rained there. It might seem like crops or trees would never grow again. But, i have lived very long there, i know that even the longest drought can be broken
****IT NOT LOST****
In life, we can feel like that dry, cracked soil. Everything goes wrong; we face a long, dry season, hoping to experience something that brings hope and joy. But you can move from hopelessness to joy!
You may owe so much money that you think you would need to win the lottery just to breathe again. You may be in a relationship that has become difficult and that drains you of your hope. Like that drought-dried soil, you feel like you will never be able to grow again.
Perhaps you have lied to yourself and said that you can go on with things the way they are now, but inside, you know that something must change. Maybe you placed your hope on someone and were disappointed. Sometimes, we can be fooled by things that appear real but really rob us of joy and hope.
At some point, you will discover that false hope has made your life dry and difficult. You may want to give up. You may feel that there is no way forward and that you will die in that dry place of hopelessness.
**FINDING REAL HOPE**
There is hope. There is genuine hope that can bring joy back to you! Like rain on a drought-ridden desert, hope refreshes your life and brings you lasting peace. Where does such hope come from?
**“hope refreshes your life…”**
It comes from placing your trust in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to solve a problem that every man and woman faces. It is called “sin.”
The Bible says that because of the wrong things we do, everyone falls short of who God wants us to be. Because of the wrong things that we do, sin separates us from God. But, Jesus came to earth over two thousand years ago to pay the price for our sins. When he died in our place on the cross, He broke the power of sin and death and created a new relationship with God for us. By rising from the dead, His promise of new life became sure and certain.
When you allow Jesus Christ to take control of your life then He will bring life-giving forgiveness into your situation and bring you hope; real hope that is as precious to you as rain falling on a drought-ridden land.
LIVING IN HOPE
With Jesus in your life, you will never face your problems alone. You will know victory instead of failure. You can stand with Jesus and He will guide you through life in ways that are far better than you can ever think or imagine. Jesus will put your life together again and walk with you step by step.
PRAY THIS PRAYER TO DISCOVER REAL HOPE:
“Dear Jesus, I am in a place that is dry like a desert. It is a place where I have no hope. Please forgive me for the wrong things I have done and send genuine hope into my life like rain in a dry, barren place. I surrender my heart to you and ask that you take control of my life now. Thank you.”
SO sorry I brought this here but as I woke up this morning my mind speaks to me to have patience and hope for better days. And all thanks to @princessbusayo and @HappyBoy for your words of encouragement on @happboy's Post yesterday.
Gberefu Island experience
This was a great experience in getting to know our history and how our ancestors were transported during the transatlantic slave trade. Taking a walk down the Gberefu island to the point of no return was quite surreal as it gives a very bright picture of the pains and trauma of Slavery in Nigeria. What makes the trip so much better is the very detailed description of the slave trade process by our tour guide putting life to every historical landmark as we walked down the island. The island is a place to visit for every lover of history.
This place is having a great history of slavery but its not preserved well and it can be an tourist place if government can spend money. The place is inside Badagry. Its on seashore. No arrangement for stay or food or any kind of relaxation. No security. Families are not advisable to go alone.Gberefu island is a nature beauty, but behind the beauty of this island lies an ugly past. This island was once a slavers bay and a sailing point where thousands of black Africans where shipped out. Those who have appreciable knowledge of history about the trans-Atlantic slave would know the importance of this island.
Gberefu island was the gateway where thousands of Africa slaves most especially around the Bright of Benin where transported in chains out of Africa never to return to their fatherland. Many people lost their lives been transported to the New World in ships where they were packed together in tight prison space. Those who died on this gruesome journey where thrown into the sea to become food for the creatures of the sea.
A visit to Gberefu island takes you on a journey to the past to have a feel of what Africans went through. A first stop is the Seriki Faremi Williams Abass slave museum, where visitors are taking round the slave cell. From there, visitors board boats following the same route that take them straight to Gberefu island. A walk from the jetty following the same route the slaves where made to follow lead you first to the Well of Attenuation, this well is believe to wipe the memory of slaves before they are taking to the beach (Point of No Return) to board ships that take them to far away foreign land across the Atlantic.
Methods of Preserving and Improving the Quality of Locust
In this article I will be writing on two methods of preserving and improving the quality of locust beans namely: salting and drying. 80g of non-salted sample of locust beans and the same quantity of the sample with 5g of salt and 10g salt were subjected to direct sunlight drying for 5days. Proximate analysis showed that dried salted sample contains 67.65% of protein while dried non-salted sample has 66.82% of protein. The non-salted sample has a microbial load of 1.02×107cfu/g while the salted sample has 1.42×105cfu/g at the end of the fifth day of drying. The non-salted has the greatest drying rate while the 10g salted sample has the least drying rate.
Locust Bean (Parkia biglobosa) belongs to the leguminous group used in many food dishes `in West Africa. It was gotten from the Locust bean tree that grows in the savannah area of West Africa. The tree has feathery doubly divided leaves, red flower and long narrow pods and it has black seed. It contains about 38% protein, 31% fat and, 23.6% carbohydrate when it is moisture free and 30% protein, 15% fat, 49% carbohydrate when fermented [1]. It is known as ‘Iru’ in Yoruba language,south western Nigeria ‘Kipaluga’ among the ‘Kusasis’ and‘Dagommbas’ of Northern Ghana, ‘Kinda’ in Sieria Leone and ‘Netetu’ or ‘Soumbia’ in Gambia and Burkina Faso [2]. Locust beans are medicinal and used as mouthwash to relieve toothaches. The beans husk (seed coats) is used with indigo dye to improve the luster of fabric while the tree bark yields red tannin for dying leather. It is normally used as a soup or stews flavouring materials and constitutes an essential ingredient in preparation of local soup or stew [3]. Preparation of Locust bean starts with boiling for 12 hours and further soaking in boiling water for another 12 hours, preferably overnight. Excess water was drained off and the seeds were dehulled by marching the seeds with the feet in a large wooden mortal. Further removal of the seed coat was achieved by rubbing the cotyledons between the palms of the hand and thereafter washed with water. The cotyledon was again cooked for another 6 hours, the hot boil water was drained off and the cotyledon were then spread into calabash trays, covered with wooden trays, wrapped with jute bags and fermented for 3-4 days to produce iru [4]. The long boiling period can however be reduced by using a pressure cooker to boil the locust bean. A softening agent called ‘kuru’ containing sunflower seed and ‘kuru’ may be added during the second boiling to aid softening of the cotyledons. After boiling, the seeds were drained and spread in calabash trays in layer of about 4cm depth. About two or three trays are stacked together and wrapped in many layer in jute sacks and coarse cotton cloth to provide warmth and a humid atmosphere. The seeds ferment for about 36hours [5]. It was reported that Locust bean fermentation is solid substrate fermentation; this is unlike most other fermentation of food in West Africa, which is usually in liquid menstrum, the temperature of 25OC-30OC to 45OC-50OC [6]. The fermentation temperature is 37.5oC after 24hours and 39oC after 36hours, when a starter was used. During the three days of fermentation, the cotyledons change in colour from light brown to dark brown and become softer [1,7].The results of the chemical analyses indicate that fermentation resulted in protein enrichment of the fermented locust bean. Fermentation also imparts a characteristic flavour and odour to the beans [8].Fermented beans have a greyish sticky mucilage covering and a strong ammoniac smell. This peculiar odour and flavour enhance its taste in traditional soup used to eat root and tuber diets. Salt is added to preserve the bean [9]. The locust bean also known as carob has several uses in food and medicine. It is rich in insoluble fibre.
In conclusion,it is clear that salting and drying improved the quality of locust bean.Since the harvest of locust bean is seasonal, the need for preservation cannot be over emphasized,this work has presented the optimum conditions for locust bean preservation. (1) 5g of salt is enough to preserve and maintain 80g of locust bean nutritionally.(2) 3 days of drying is adequate to fully preserve 80g of locust bean.(3) Non-salted locust bean has more microbial load than salted locust bean.(4) Non-salted sample dry faster than salted sample.(5)Salted sample is more nutritional than non-salted sample
The journey
It the d-day,the awaiting day I have always wait for to come but before I start let me take you a little back to the past so you won't get confused.
I met him while in school,then I was only out of a regrettable relationship so it so hard to go into another,the fact that I need to be alone is what comes to my mind but he refuse to leave me to myself,he tried to make me happy but I don't seems to see it,he care but the heartbreak still make me ignore all his good doings. I fight so hard to make it work but it hurting me so hard so I had to end the relationship without giving a reason but we still keep in touch with eachother.
A year after,we met again which in me I think we should be able to work things out,he didn't think about the breakup he still want me again. We go on and on but still I can't see his effort to make the relationship work, alway want to be the man and he didn't argue doing everything out of love,but during my final year I had to end the relationship again which I know he was so broken but I had no choice. Although I feel for him but still don't understand what is happening to me because I find it hard to forgive myself of my past and to forget my past 💔.
**THE JOURNEY**
This year we were able to get in touch again the third time,non of us was able to keep a relationship,so we decided to come together,plan the future together and go on a journey of life.At first,we are having second thought but we decide to see first and talk about it

I'm travelling to meet with him,I hope we are about to take good decision of our life.
