STOP AND PONDER! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA


STOP AND PONDER! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

During my undergraduate days, I went for a night reading after an hectic day. I slept all through the night and woke up around 6am the following morning. Smiles... I took my bag and went back to my hostel. People who saw me were like, " you are strong o, you read all through 
the night. "


You know someone who hasn't been reading will be intimidated seeing me, whereas I slept all through the night. I should have not bothered myself going to read that night if I knew I would sleep off. Of what essence is my going for night reading if I didn't get to study even if it was just an hour. 

When I attend some programs, I see folks who are not even in the media crew but are too engrossed with the covering of the program. You can never see them participate in any of the programs. 


Ask them what they gained in the program, they will bring out their phones to show you a video clip of what they covered as an evidence. I am not against you covering the program, but don't be too engrossed that you forget what you have come to do in the program. 

There are some who attend programs, they will always find their way to the kitchen even though they are not in welfare unit. They must look for things to do in the kitchen though their presence are irrelevant. 

The organizers of a program should endeavor to inculcate the habit of changing people in the kitchen. The same set of people should not be in the kitchen all through the program. They should be blessed too. 

Of what use is the prayer vigil you went for but you slept all through? When you get back home, people will be praying to be like you, whereas you know you only went to pass your night at the program. 

Please stop and ponder friend! 
Shall we continue like this?

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms.  Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts.   One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT  A whole lot of things must have been conceived  in your mind before indulging in sex.  That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out.  Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please.  1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is  to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously.  2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall...
