MY BEARD GANG CHRONICLE PT 1

Not been post trendy for a long while. The fact that my country has been going through different phases of political, social, and economical changes, I myself included. Man must chop, living the good life is very much on my priority list.

One thing you don't know about me is that I like my hair well and fully grown before taking it down again, and by hair I mean scalp and facial hair. This for a very long time has been an issue with me and my mom. It has always been 'war of the words' when it came to that aspect. On my good days I can form 'not hearing' for as long as I'm ready to then take my hair down. But recently, experience has taught me that when a woman wants something done or likes something done in a particular way there's nothing you can pretty much do about it. The longer you stay adamant, the more irritated you become as a man because they won't stop...My mom will be like 'have you checked the mirror?', she goes on to say ' you know I've been telling you, if i was a lady and you approached me mhn mhn, i will not even give you face" and i I'm like ehn leave it like that, sebi that one is you.

For another hour or more I have peace of mind, until she just looks at me again (I can see and feel the exasperation in her look) and says in Yoruba 'bawo lo ma gbe oju e bayii, abi oo mo pe oo fine ni (how would you leave your hair untidy like this, don't you know it makes you ugly). I just make a very nonchalant facial expression and go on with whatever I was doing at the time. Days go by, then weeks, as if her exasperation is not enough, she calls my sister(s) to weigh in on the matter. And as always I reiterate my stance that I like leaving my hair be a long while before bringing it down, every talk from there I pay no mind too, the teasing, mocking and all. 

When a woman (mother/wife) wants to put you out of your egostic realm, they have a very subtle and fierce way they go about it. Sometimes, it makes me wonder who really runs the world (Beyonce has a very strong case). When my mom's had it up to here with my defiance to still keep my hair, she lays down the MOMMY'S ULTIMATUM. If you're a son who loves his mom and always love to see her happy, then my brother you've got no choice, you have to honor the ultimatum. Seriously you can't be pissed about it.

After all, what is LOVE?

To be continued...

LOVE OR MONEY: WHICH COMES FIRST?

Love a very universal human language, and also a universal feeling.   We feel love anywhere and everywhere, for someone or everyone. In this publication we’ll be looking at Love and Money in relationships amongst couples and lovers. Love is a strong feeling of affection, a feeling of strong conviction that someone feels the same way we do.   Unfortunately, in our world of today love has been redefined with exceptions, and variables you would say.   Some examples of variables we can say age, money, tribe, and so on....   But we will be looking at a very and more crucial issue- Love and Money. Today love is usually equated with money, in other words, no money, no love.   By surprise this definition of love is the common trend these days. I have talked with people who said she can’t go out with a guy who can’t or don’t have money (spend money in the sense of Luxury), and it got me thinking if there were no anomalies maybe guys of average class won’t even get a chance to go on a

The Call To Repentance

Luke 9:23-25 Accepting Christ means dying to the world, and dying to the flesh. Dying to the  lust of earthly desires and vanity. Accepting and following Christ means acknowledging your weakness and frailty knowing that you're not perfect; to be confident and totally dependent on God for in Him there is life everlasting. What will it profit you to toil and gather riches, power and wealth only to die without knowing Jesus Christ without believing in his sacrifice and without fulfilling your divine purpose. Jesus calls us to live for eternity and to do the work he started; to bring people into the new life of His righteousness by faith as opposed to our righteousness by works (human effort). We do not need be perfect before we approach Him. He knows our weakness and frailty, but by His resurrection granted us His righteousness, and all he requires of us is to preach His goodness to others that they might be free from the law, self righteousness, that he freed us from by ident
