How I fell in love as a child

-


Everybody has a love story💕! If you tell me you don't, I will seriously doubt you you sha🙄 abi are you a wood? 😂

I remember back in primary school, I really didn't know what love was. But I knew that I liked this particular dark skin, chubby, rich boy in my class🙈😂 why? He was the smartest and most intelligent in our class. Not just that, he won every inter class competition. E don tey when I get big eye for better thing ohhh😂

He liked to disturb me a lot just so that I will talk.  I was an extremely quiet skinny girl. Some of you may wonder how because I'm really not an introvert now😂things don change na😄

I hardly talked to anyone. I had very few friends in school. I had more Friends in church. You can call me timid or introverted back then😒 I was in my upper primary then

I guess I also liked him because he always defended me and helped me out with some subjects I wasn't doing so well with

One day, we came to school and I heard some of his friends and classmates talking about a party their parents took them to during the weekend. And guess what, it was his birthday party and he didn't invite me😞😌. I was so sad. I felt like I didn't matter. I felt like I wasn't up to his standard because my Dad wasn't in the rich man class like his at the time. 

Since I didn't keep much friends, I couldn't trust anyone to confide in to express how bad I felt that I wasn't invited. My parents? I didn't even dream of telling them. I probably would have gotten the beating of my life if I told them about it😂. 

They would have asked me “is that why you are school?". But my feelings were valid right? 

This is exactly some of the challenges children face as they grow older. They are too afraid of Dad and Mom to tell them how they really feel. They feel too scared to tell their parents that they are having feelings for a boy or girl in their class. Trust me, THAT CHILD'S FEELING IS VERY VALID. Listen to them and understand why they feel the way they do. Let them feel free to tell you that seemingly stupid and foolish thing. Listening to them can help you solve the challenges or issue they have either with their feelings or at school or in church or even within their circle of friends.

Thank God that peer pressure didn't make me do what I would be regretting now. Somehow, I understood that there was time for everything. I had to focus on my books with minimal distractions. Teach your child that love is good but that there's time for everything🥰

LOYALTY TO YOUR SPOUSE

-
I once read an article that talked about loyalty. So many know what it is but only a few practice it. The hierarchy in marriage is                   God                      ||                 Husband                       ||                     Wife                       ||                  Parents                      ||                  Spiritual Leaders                       ||                   Office boss                       ||                     Others       Note that Loyalty is equal to submission in marriage and its in ALL things.    Note also that the surest way to a man's heart is no more food but loyalty and total submission.             But so many misconstrue this. God placed hierarchy in every sphere of life for the sake of order. Chaos dwells where there is no order. Now someone may ask, how do I balance loyalty to my parents and to my spouse? In my opinion, I still maintain that your spouse has the upper hand. I'm an advocate of respect a

The Fight between Chelsea and Manchester United

It's no news that football or soccer is a universally accepted game that brings people irrespective of their ethnicity together. The passion football lovers exhibit at the sight of the game tell me that, whenever passion is present, anything is possible. Back in my university days, my younger sister who loved football(still does till date) could sacrifice her last penny to go watch football. She is a strong Man Utd fan. Many times, she came back really exited about the outcome, other times so sad that everybody around could just tell that something was wrong. That is passion! There were times when she went as far as watching it on credit, with the intention to pay later. She may even look for who will pay for her. Her love for it was so strong that it got to a point where they allowed her watch for free. The owners of the view center had never seen a girl with so much love and passion for football like her. Chelsea and Manchester Utd are two club that I know have this

Why teens fall prey to sexual acts

Why teens fall prey to sexual acts This topic is termed very sensitive because it has do to with sex education. A lot of people especially our parents tend to shy away from it. Nevertheless, its importance in our day and can't be over emphasised as we see that most teens fall into error in this regard. Sex is sacred and its exclusively for the married. When anyone engage in it outside the context of marriage is an abominable act. Illicit sex is so prominent in this generation so much so that feelings and appearances lead most people into the act. Yes!its called an act simple because it involves two people performing it. Now,our teens fall prey most times as a result of many factors. It could be as a result of gullibility, lack of self control, inadequate sex education, peer pressure, competition or complex issues etc Whenever this topic poops up, its always easy for most people to point accusing fingers on teens forgetting that they were born into homes. Unlike most people
