SOCIAL SITES, SOCIALIZING, AND SCAMS

The introduction of social sites has really defined the term socializing and networking. During my younger days it was about going to parties, or visiting a friend or colleagues of your parents and that’s how you network and make friends and the most common way was the educational institution. It was cool then, because you actually met people, spending time outdoors. Now with the introduction of Facebook; let’s go back a bit as far as I can remember Hi5. Back in the school days it was a Hi5 rave but yet we still took socializing outside. At the introduction of Facebook Gbam! Outdoor networking went extinct. We all subscribed to it though (don’t be ashamed), yes it was a faster way to connect with friends but at some point it evolved to meeting random people from almost all corners of the world and works of life and the ultimate question is ARE WE FRIENDS? I mean do I actually want to be your friend.
In my opinion the social network is a cool way of getting information, prying, and spying and the ultimate vice scamming not forgetting wide range market for adult businesses. There are little truths about personality on the social sites name it; twitter, Facebook, all dating sites (for desperate peeps and emotional frauds and scammers). I have tweaked my age many a times just to meet up to profile requirement or just for a chat (don’t judge).

My first introduction into social site was not that awful or scary at first, I opened my Facebook account which seemed very alright till now, the only ish is that you connect with people that you can’t really relate too or even long-time friends that now has nothing in common with you (life happened), but issokay. Then I went onto baddoo and woooooooo! It was a nightmare; I had to fly out of that place. In my defence I opened it to actually meet new people and maybe…..just maybe get dates more often (that’s the koko) but I was been honest about myself and the way I related with other fellow users. An unforgettable experience; when a gay dude tried to woo me, I stated I’m straight and he still thought he could change my mind. After that experience I left baddoo never to return (for my mind). Then I went on twitter when I got my first blackberry phone and it has been going well until I found out that it was no different from baddoo and Facebook, it had all the makings for every type of idea, but as individuals you pick what you need and move on. Then I did go back to baddoo (out of boredom), but this time I met someone who is now very close to my heart; by the way that someone is a She (we are not dating). This second time was a blessing (you could call it that), and then later I got bored again and it didn’t really make so much sense to me anymore, once I got the idea that you never take these sites seriously (need not say more), fine if you find something or someone real (1 in 20). I deleted my account a second time (it would still come calling).


Finally! Finally! Finally! I opened a baddoo account again for a third time. They say the third time is always the charm and indeed it was. I got chatting with a supposed chick named Dammy (fine die!!). Trying to get to know her interests and get on her good side, she then
proposed that here (baddoo) wasn’t a good platform (at this point she had stated her BB was stolen and can’t download whatsapp messenger yimu).  I then suggested the normal approach of call me-call you, which ‘she’ obliged to by sending her digits (omo! Parol is on). That was the end that day, until after like 3 days I just decided “hey what the heck” let me just give my new friend in the making a buzz. RING! RING! Lo and behold it was a dude’s voice at the end of the line trying seriously hard to sound like the chic he posted up on his profile.

Ended it calmly, wouldn’t want to waste my energy and recharge unit on insulting him, after all na my credit abi (talk your own)

THANK GOD FOR JESUS

T hank God for Jesus Christ. Thank God for making the ultimate sacrifice for man. Man in our fallibility is beyond redemption by his own standard We already failed in our ability to redeem ourselves After a series of personal experience and inward reflection, I put it that we all are not without sin No matter how hard we try to prove we can do it on our own the more we fail There is no perfection in sin, since the Eden experience where man embraced sin the perfection of the flesh was corrupted Thank God for the perfection of His Son. God cannot and will never behold sin, but yet he still tolerates us No it isn’t double standard, but mercy Mercy on who? You Through who? His Son When God looks at us, he doesn’t see us in our nature We in ourselves cannot behold his presence with our filth no matter our self-righteousness He sees his ultimate sacrifice in us, when God looks at us He sees his Son’s sacrifice And it is becaus...

CALL OUT YOUR JOSEPH

Bible characters have always being a very interesting topic. I get to read and immerse myself into the story and lives of the various characters God used to show forth His glory. This post is directed to Christians; youths and adults alike, and also to anyone who is willing to be touched by it. I do have a thing for Joseph though. Yeah Joseph…... Joseph was a lot of things: He was young, in turn innocent and naive. He had a dream, which turned out be his vision and destiny. He was loved by his father, envied by his brothers. He was sold, he slaved, and finally he rose from the ashes and became a model for Christian youths today. My focus on his story is when he found himself in the lair of the seductress/temptress. Many youths/adults alike today will never pass on sex. In fact it has become a standard for being a man, so whenever one has the chance to prove him/herself worthy to their friends, they heed its call. Well as for me I beg to differ just like Joseph did....

KNOW THY SOURCE

Knowledge is power, and information is knowledge, and one can say information is power. More important is the source of knowledge or the information, and in every aspect of life it holds meaning and significance in our lives. The authenticity of the knowledge that is sought sharpens ones minds, builds ones character, and determines ones destiny. Having pointed that out, I have an experience to share. The scriptures make us to understand the people of God which was Israel at the time perished due to lack of knowledge. Simply put the people did not have adequate and true information or knowledge about their God and even if they did they rejected the truth. They often times let their selves be deceived by false teachings and the unbelievers around them. They began to indulge in the ungodly acts that God had instructed them not to do.  The scriptures also implore us as Christians to study the word of God to show ourselves approved and to rightly divide the word of truth. To expand...
