LOVE IS OVERRATED

We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved.

The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust.

Sex is an integral part of marriage but marriage is beyond sex. You just can't bring children into this world and then abandon them just because of good sex. This is to all the fathers in their sixties still divorcing their wives and marrying younger women, claiming they are in love, you are not in love but in lust. At your age, you should have outgrown some banal instincts. A decent man at sixty is consolidating on the gains of his marriage with the wife of his youth. To all the young men who are in their second or third marriages, wouldn't it be just perfect if you can marry anyone of your fantasies and divorce when a new fantasy comes along?

What so many people call love is lust. The point when  you decide that you are willing to trade your marriage for a hot figure is the point when you have reached the highest point of irresponsibility.

A beautiful movie showing us the love of God and His ever standing faithfulness to His children. Elizabeth and Tony Jordan were two  successful people who were religious but hadn't known what it was like for God to minister unto them. They had a big house, nice jobs, with Tony as a pharmaceutical salesman and Elizabeth as a realtor. They  had a daughter called Danielle. Despite the wealthy lifestyle, Tony was cold towards his family. He refused to give money to his wife's sister and was verbally abusive towards her. He treated Danielle no less than a property gotten from one  of his illegal deals.

FELA KUTI WAS VISIONARY, PHILOSOPHICAL, AND A PATRIOT

Honestly, I am barely a Fela fan but the events of these few months make his thoughts unforgettable. On Friday last week after work, I circled with my friend around the city of Owerri and was got by rain around World Bank junction, suddenly we realized that the roads were impassable, my friend turned back and parked the car. Because it was getting late I was forced to walk or better still swim across the

NYSC AND THE TALES OF FREE SEX

I remember when I went for youth service and the shock I had when i realized what was going on around me. Married girls were freely having sex with younger boys. Girls were being laid for something as cheap as buying them suya. It was horrific. This was in camp. After camp, boys were living with girls in their lodges.
