Is it Living life or we are all Just trying to Survive?

-
Walking down from the bus stop to my place of work is like another fifteen minutes exercise after alighting from the bus. So on this beautiful bright day while on my way to the office and the time was 7:57am, I saw this Danfo driver sleeping at the driver's seat with his head laid on the front door of his vehicle. Such a pitiful sight to behold early in the morning.  The shout for passengers by the driver in front of him jerked him awake suddenly and he continues his call for passengers like nothing happened. It was clear that he needs more rest and he looked so tired, even though it is just early in the morning. Knowing there are bills to pay gave him no other option than to continue his quest for his daily bread? or is it daily crumbs? Why did I say crumbs? Most times I wonder how much these drivers go home with at the end of the day. Is it money for garage tickets? Agberos? Area boys? Officers? Petrol/Diesel for the vehicle? Vehicle maintenance? Unexplained breakdown by vehicle ...

WOMEN OF WAGS MIAMI

-
  WAGS are wives and girlfriends of professional athletes.  In WAGS, they have hierarchy; there are Queens (whatever that means), Wives, Fiancés, Girlfriends and so on as described by Olivia of WAGS LA. In WAGS, the women all aspires to be wives. I want to look at the lifestyles of these women of WAGS, either real or acting for the sake of the reality show. It is in line with my short novel “Make me happy as a Woman”.  As WAGS, people believed they live the high life, but they have their own share of life’s experiences that everyone go through. The women of WAGS are all friends, but some are closer to each other. Darnell and Ashley They were to me like sisters. If they aren’t with the other women or their family, you see them making out together always. Towards the end of the season, so many drama unfold which is why I am relating this reality tv series show to how a woman can be happy. Darnell started the season engaged, but ended it being single and Ashley got married. ...

What's the Language of Love?

-
 Since my blog is about making your world the haven that you want it to be, I think we should talk about the language of love. Does love have any language?  What do you think is the meaning of love? There is a younger colleague of my friend at work that is always telling her how much she really means to him. My friend is married, but this young man doesn't see it as anything so special or that it has anything to do with the way he feels about her. She told me something that really got me startled and I begin to think about what love means also. They were both having a chat in the office one day; (not their real names) Manny: "Do you really love your husband? he asked my friend.  Tessy: Yes, of course. I do. Manny: "Apart from sex, you do so many things for me that you will also naturally do for your husband. So is the sex love? Tessy: Okay, let's talk about this some other day. Do you believe in love? Manny: "That's what I'm saying. What is Love? I don...

Make me Happy as a Woman

-
Chapter Two  “You mean you confronted the lady?” Mercy asked, looking accusingly at Sheila “What else am I supposed to do?” Of course I did confront her. “That is uncalled for on your part”. What if she had beaten you up?  Sheila was dumbfounded; What can she say? Nothing. Mercy was right, she had behaved unreasonably. The beating up part was a situation she never put into consideration. “It would have been a disaster of the millennium for her” Lara put in, trying hard not to laugh. “Did you hear her say Dele almost beat her up for the confrontation with his concubine?” “We should be grateful he didn’t”, Mercy replied looking incredulously at both women. “Well, I was trying to save my man”. “Listen to yourself, I doubt if he needs saving” . Mercy said “If I understand you both quite well, are you telling me to do nothing and just continue like a happy and loving wife?” And watch, while your brother keeps violating the rules of marriage? Sheila lamented, almost close to tears. ...

 ... a short story about three women in the city of Lagos, Nigeria. They are brought together by blood and marriage and each have her problems, but they do not carry them on their heads like placards to show the whole world. They are strong women. Chapter One "Is your husband back from work?" Lara asked Sheila "Yeah, he is back. I saw him on bike, he passed along this road not quite long." she answered her. "It is a must, he has to go to his usual base after work. He had better be with his key, because I won't open the door for him when he gets back. Can  you believe he quarreled with me yesterday night because of that lady? He almost beat me up. Sheila added. "You don't mean it" Lara said "Honestly, you won't believe it. He said, "what right do I have to confront the lady?". Lara pulled Sheila closer, " I have told you to stop disturbing yourself, allow him to be, he would soon get tired and come back home...
