It’s either, am pregnant or someone is pregnant is for me
because I have been craving some really odd meals at very odd times of the day.
Like craving Pounded yam and Onugbu soup by 8:00am and then
craving Beans & Garri by 8:12am. I don’t know
what the problem is but I plan to figure it out.
Talking about craving, I’ve heard pregnant women crave/like
the oddest things. I once heard about a certain woman whom during pregnancy
discovered that she liked the smell of the toilet. So, most of the time; she
will sit in the toilet to inhale her favourite smell of all times. Dear God,
please let my wife’s pregnant craving be the hatred money.
Last night’s craving was Surulere’s Akara, fried yam and
plantain. I called a cab and headed off to Surulere.
I was jejely buying my Akara when the couple came. He wanted
Akara and Yam but she wanted only plantain. He suggested that they buy few
slices of yam and more plantain but she said, they should just get plantain and
go. After few minutes of English speaking and a little Yoruba, they ended up
buying N150.000 plantain. He sacrificed his yam for her plantain and she
wouldn’t even let him buy a piece for himself.
The event got me thinking about relationships and how much
we are willing to give/do to make IT work.
I’ve been in all sorts of relationships and have also
witnessed different ones. Some good, some wonderful and some made in hell.
Recently, I heard about a relationship of 2 years that
currently ended and the dude is planning a thanksgiving. He stays in Lagos
while she lives in Abuja. During their 2 years relationship, she only slept in
his house 3 times because she said she was not comfortable with the fact that
he was staying in a single room, self contained.
He would buy her flight ticket from Abuja to Lagos and back,
pay for hotel accommodation, Red cab and food. She was not really into the
TFC/KFC things; she only loved food associated with countries such as Thailand,
China et al.
On his visits to Abuja, he would also pay for a hotel
because she stays with her parents.
She never PUSHED for them to use her hotel/flight/Red
cab/feeding money to get a bigger apartment for him yet she was just not
comfortable staying there.
The dude said he never believed that someone as pretty as
her would ever date him so he was eager to do everything to satisfy her needs
but I believe they were using his brain as Ludo
board in China because that should be the only explanation.
There are tale signs of a Relationship from Hell.
A relationship from hell will have you thinking that you always
need to make an effort to please your partner. You will always make an excuse
for your partner. If he fails to show up, you will say ‘Maybe his car broke
down’. You are constantly NEVER relaxed because you do not want to do
anything out of place.
How do you explain a relationship where you are constantly
taking her and her roommates out every time you invite her out?
There are relationships that will force the man to keep
borrowing to maintain the lifestyle of their partners. She wants to go on
vacation 6 times in one year and her only contribution is “her availability”.
Mbanu!!!
Some ladies behave like they are using their head as “wash
hand bowl ” in restaurants in Enugu. They are so eager to marry that they are
“trying” to make it work with the dude that only leaves the house 5:30pm
everyday to play football and can tell you everything showing on E.
We all know when we are in an unhealthy relationship and in
case you don’t know, if you are currently trying too hard to make it work, then
you are probably in one.
I’m not saying you should not assist, satisfy or provide for
your partner, do this only because you can afford to and not necessarily as a
means to be accepted in a relationship.
I don’t know about you but I think life is too short to be
eating only Plantain.

The One You Loved
10th June 2011
Have you ever just sat and cried
all because the one you loved lied.
Have you ever wondered why should I try
when 'all that guy does is make me cry'.
Have you ever just played your part
even though you knew he'd been cheating on you from the start.
Have you ever loved somebody in every way
to the point you didn't know what to say.
Have you ever just come apart
because the one you loved played with you heart.
Have you ever wished upon a star
but that wish never went very far.
Have you ever laid down at night
and thought why did I start that stupid fight.
Have you ever felt used
and all this time been confused.
Have you ever felt like giving up
when you had your girls beside you always cheering you up.
Are you tired writing you first name with his last
knowing it will never be.
Let go of the one you LOVED if you know truly that he doesnt deserve your heart.

What is TRUST?
6th June 2011
Trust means to believe.
To trust someone means you have no doubt about their honesty and integrity.
Trust is the foundation of a relationship; a relationship is built on trust.
Trust is the foundation of a relationship; a relationship is built on trust.
If we cannot trust we can’t find love or find joy in a relationship.
A relationship begins with trust;
If a relationship lacks trust, that relationship has nothing.
I will say trust is the most important thing in a relationship because no matter how much you love someone if you don’t trust them, the relationship can never survive.
I know it takes years to build up trust but I will say give your partner the benefit of doubt.
I know it takes years to build up trust but I will say give your partner the benefit of doubt.
Trust takes years to build and only seconds to destroy it, it could take only one lie for your partner to lose trust in you.
Trust is like a mirror once broken it can never be the same again, without trust your words to your partner could become irrelevant but with trust your words become life itself.
When trust is lost, we feel angry, betrayed and taken for granted.
The truth hurts but it doesn't kill, the lies please but it doesn't heal.
The best thing is to always be upfront, real and truthful.
Honour your partner by acting with integrity at all times.

Lost Love
6th June 2011
What is love?Some say love is joyful
Some say love is happiness
I say its a feeling that can't be controlled.
Sometimes we love the wrong person
and all they bring us is pain upon pain.
Sometimes we love the right person but
there is a stepping stone 4rm letting us be together. Some r so lucky they fall in love with the right person and living the rest of their life with them.
Why do people fall in and out of love?
Love could be d best thing ever,
but yet dangerous;
some kill 4 love
some go exra miles 4 love
and some, d only thing keeping dem
is d one they love.
Every time a love tale ends
someone gets hurt;
When u are hurt by love,
its like a wound dat never heals,
however if its true love it will
never fail cuz true love never ends.
Love is beautiful
Love is kind
Love is trust
Love is hope
Love is patient
Love always protects
Love is not proud
Love does no evil
Love does not lie
Love does not envy
Love keeps no record of wrong.
However do not take infatuation 4 love
For those who has found love, i wish you luck with it
For those who r searching, i also wish you luck with it
I believe der is someone out der 4 everyone of us.
Open ur mind,heart and ur doors 4 love
Love is the only theif that steals ur heart away.

Searching For True Love
4th June 2011
Each and every single dayYou walk around and you pray
To find the one that you will love
It could be the one you push and shove
Whether it be the person down the street
Or someone you have yet to meet
Remember love comes in many different things
Not just money, cars, or diamond rings
Don't just look for beauty and fame
Look for one in which you could feel no pain
Love is a mysterious wonder
So you have to pick, hunt, choose, and plunder
If you ever find the one for you
Hold them and everyday say I love you
For love can always come and go
But if true it will stay through highs and lows
If you haven't found your true love
Keep looking for signs from above
They will come one day Until then we can only pray
Miss. Ohio
