PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

There are a million and one preachers around us. One wanting to correct your mode of dressing, another trying to cut your throat over your make up, and yet another that won't stop banging on your door to remind you that you talk wrongly or you act wrongly and should repent. While I salute these people because I tell you only a handful of people can summon the courage to preach to others, I still think a number of them need to shut their mouths up.
The other day, I joined a bus on my way to Enugu. Not long after the journey commenced, a lady beside me started the 'usual' prayers for journey mercies and repentance, which I do not mind partaking in. She took nearly 40minutes of journey time to remind us of how make-up, trouser wearing, fighting, quarrelling and jealousy among other 'sins' will take us all straight to hell. After the message and prayers, everyone got very sober and remained mute almost throughout the remaining part of the journey.
When we got to University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Enugu, the sister started screaming "dropping dey o" meaning she wanted to alight. The driver probably didn't hear her in time so he sped past UNTH. This sister got so angry and honestly the curses she rained on the driver and everyone who tried to calm her down in the bus that day were really epic. It took alot of talking and pleading by fellow passengers to restrain her from 'beating' the driver. I just sat in my seat and watched her. The questions that kept going through my head were numerous. I mean, what happened to her sermons and holier than thou preachings? People really need to learn to practice what they preach. Its even biblical.
Friends, lets practice what we preach.

GLOBACOM SHUTS UNEC DOWN WITH TIMAYA, MI AND RUNTOWN, DJNEPTUNE AND DJLAMBO

Last night is a night that will not be forgotten in  hurry at the  University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus as Globacom ended its week long mouth watering Campus Data Bundle campaign tagged 'Glo campus storm' with an enveloping event which brought down A list artistes such as Timaya, MI and Runtown to the white house of the prestigious institution. Yours truly was there and brings you reports! The event was slated to start by 4pm although it later started much later that night due to problems with the generator which was to be used to power the auditorium and other equipments for the event. Many students left for emergency night class in the few opened classes like Abuja auditorium and Coscharis building. Luck however was on the side of the patient students who were already murmuring that the show was a scam, when PHCN restored power supply around 11pm. Immediately the power was restored, all the students including those who left for till day break studying returned and the a...

CRUSH ISSUES

I was standing by a corner of the road awaiting any oncoming tricycle (keke) to halt. "Mummy will kill me today. How did I forget to look at my wristwatch?", I wondered aloud as I searched my head for any sugar coated excuse to give her for staying out so late. "Hello". Excuse me", a strong and smooth voice behind me said. I ignored the voice. Hello, please excuse me".The voice repeated and seemed to draw closer. I turned around. My eyes couldn't believe who I saw so I quickly looked away. "I'm sorry to bother you but I couldn't help but notice you alot in there". The voice called again. It was Kiss Danel. Yes, Kiss Daniel. The celebrity. The Woju crooner. My all time celebrity crush.He was the one seeking my attention. Wonders shall never end.  Kiss was the guest artiste at the event I had just attended at African cultural centre, Kano.Throughout the event, I noticed he kept looking at me or maybe in my direction but I wade...

The Error of 'Don't you Know you are a Girl? '

Part 1 Dear Society, When you want to correct a female going wrong, especially a child,  do not remind her that she is a girl. Do not tell her to stop because she is a girl. Tell her to stop and change because her actions are wrong. When she wears a skirt and sits with her legs wide open,  tell her to close them because it is wrong to sit with your undies exposed. When she talks arrogantly,  correct her because it is wrong to speak that way. Don't tell her to be polite because girls should be. Sensible humans are polite. Politeness is not gender specific. When she dresses indecently,  correct the wrongness of the dressing. Don't make it about her gender. Decency doesn't apply to one gender. When she is unable to cook at 18, remind her that it is only reasonable for an adult to be capable of making food for his/her survival. No gender needs the skill more. When she rides her car in a rough manner,  remind her that wrong driving has sent many to their...
