A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.
She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.
She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.
When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it.
However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.
She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.
Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.
When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep.
Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.
The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.
She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.
When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.
The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.
She asked if they would ask the man one question.
Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.
When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her.
"Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone.
I was just looking around the net, nd i came across this joke. It was funny that, i almost got kicked out of the library for laughing.......lol...... It's long? Yea, but u gonna enjoy it, i give whoever made that up big props,and all credits goes to them.
The Conversation Begins with a telephone ring..............
Mr Okoro : Hello?
Telemarketer: Hi, this is Raheema calling from Hollywood Hereafter Resources. I just wanted to let you know that your phone number was randomly selected in a drawing and we have reserved a free burial space for you at the New Island Cemetry in Bridge-
Mr Okoro: What?!!!
Telemarketer : If you would just give me your name and address. I want to send you a letter to confirm the free burial space we have reserved for you---
Mr Okoro: You reserved what for me.....A grave?
Telemarketer: A free burial space
Mr Okoro: What's the difference?
Telemarketer: Well the word "grave" can be scary sir, you can disregard the letter if you don't want it. This is just a courtsey call to---
Mr Okoro: So as a telemarketer, you can pick up the phone and cold call people and pitch them with such offers?
Telemarketer:Well, yes sir. We always make sure it is something of potential interest to them --
Mr Okoro: Of course, who wouldn't be interested in dying? I am definately interested in a grave. I am. That is a very important decision to make before die right?
Telemarketer:I agree with u sir. You are so open-minded about this. A lot of people don't understand why it is so important to hand-pick your final resting place before you pass on. It ensures you get the kind of burial you want for yourself.
Mr Okoro: I see say na u dem send come
Telemarketer: I'm sorry? Send....come?
Mr Okoro: Oh, they don't use the witchdoctor in the village anymore right? They have gone nuclear and now are using Americans. Na you dem send come!

Telemarketer: I do apologize to you if my phone call has offended you in any way-
Mr Okoro: You have not offended me. I am not offended. Do i sound offended? Why would i be offended because you- kindhearted telemarketer that you are- reserved a grave for me? Do you know how old i am? 32 . In my country, people don't die at 32. When they die so young, it is a major tragedy! My mother and father are still alive. You want me to die before them?
Telemarketer: I didn't mean anything-
Mr Okoro: You people never mean anything when you make these stupid phone calls. How dare u wish me death--
Telemarketer: No, that's not what --
Mr Okoro: I DON'T CARE!!! Do you know how many years i worked on getting a visa to come to America? 10 Years....Ejioku.....10!. Do u know how many laws i broke in so many countires before i found my way here? I have been here only 2 yrs. All the pepole who gave me loans to buy ticket and visa have not been paid. My mother and father are still waiting for me to perform the magic of Dollars for them in Nigeria. This telephone was just connected 2 months ago because i am just now able to afford a telephone because i cannot make good money due to my illegal alien status. And now, you want me to die before i can even begin to enjoy a little,.....ah, your own don spoil o, i swear , e no go betta for you.

Telemarketer: Are u cussing me sir?
Mr Okoro: cuss you ke? why should i? why would i want to cuss someone who is offering me a grave? I am only reacting in my own local English. That is how we behave when we are overwhelmed with joy in my country.
Telemarketer: I just had a distinct feeling that you were not saying nice things about me.
Mr Okoro: See dis wowo wey craw-craw don chop him yansh finish....Look, just aside, are all the members of your family reserved space in your graveyard?

Telemarketer: I have to hang up now sir
Mr Okoro: Before u hang up, would you by any chance know anything about a scam where telemarketers call people on the phone to assure them a free burial space, and then try to get them expensive mausoleums and crypts? What is it call? Bait and switch, right?

I was just reflecting back on the good ol'times in naija,nd how NEPA made some good underground impacts. Well for pple dat dnt knw the meaning of NEPA(Nigerian,electric power authority) i believe. Well most pple usually see NEPA as annoying pple.................. nd yes dey might be. At the same time i can say dey made d F part of the fun in my life really fun den. The only thing i can say i did not really enjoy about NEPA was when u watching ur favorite TV shows or soap opera, NEPA turns off the power supply, nd everyone yells NEPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA from their apartments, come nd see curses of all sizes, nd shapes.lol.......nd most importantly when heat is killing us, well sha...mehnnnn na suffer head dat time oh, with all those heat. I know dat if you have experienced the dark side of NEPA, u will understand what am saying. Well one of the major reasons why i liked NEPA den was dat, i was kinda free to walk around with my bf but usually my family thinks am somewhere studying with my friends, or enjoying my toasters reciting their lame love poems , and confessing how am the only ,sugar in their tea,the only butter in their bread, nd infact the only cockroach in their cupboard.Mehnnn some naija guys are lame.lol.......... There was this night i was coming back from lesson(after school tutoring), nd regularly am not supposed to walk with any boys, except for my bro,cousins,or close family friends. (esp female children) Imagineeeeeeee!!!. I wonder how parents dnt realize dat no matter how u restrict a female child, if she wants to go wayward she will. So sha.... I was coming back home with my BF. We decided not take bike, cos it was dark outside, nd we wanted to feel the love atmosphere, nd catch up on whatz up with each other a lil bit.So we were walking hand in hand, very close, a lil bit too close sha. We were enjoying the moment so bad, dat we forgot about everyone else, more like we were alone in our own world. I was feeling this mood so bad that i 4got, i was almost home. As we were about walking into the street dat led to my house.hmmm. Guess what? I saw my cousin walking towards us.OMG i froze instantly. Actually i did not know how fast i got my body away from my bf's warmth arms. I remember saying to myself, am dead today ohhhhhh(already blaming myself for walking home with him dat night). My Bf was like what happened? nd i snapped at him, saying: look who's coming. Then he was kinda shocked, nd toughend up, nd was like so wat? aren't we just walking home? den am like yea right, well walk at mback, nd lemme walk in d front, nd lets act like we dnt know ourselves.lol. He was like HELL NO. I gave him dis r u out of ur mind look.He held my hand far apart, nd i was thinking of what kinda lies am going to tell dem at home, if he sees me. We got closer, nd closer, nd my heart beat was going so fast like i was in a marathon race. It felt like one of those moment you pray to God, that if He can help you get out of this mess, you will never do it again. Well he walked by us nd he did not see us, my heart almost jumped out through my mouth.lol......... then i wondered to myself why all dis tall pple dnt look down sometimes, dey just look up, nd keep going like a mallam,(am making mouth now abi? )i wondered what would have happened if he saw me, he would have started a fight with my bf, not even dat when he gets home, he will add all kinds of spice nd pepper to the story. Well i let my hand go quickly from my Bf's hand, nd we said our bye's real quick, and i walked as fast as i can.I got home, nd pretended nothing happened, maybe dat was a warning from God who knows?............all in all ,I thank NEPA sha cos without the dark streets i would have being bursted big tyme.
May all the 32 souls that died in Virginia Tech today rest in peace. may the good Lord heal the hearts of their loved ones. How can one wake up, nd plan to go take lectures, nd boom right there, they face their death. I can't imagine the pain they went through b4 they finally gave up the ghost. I can't imagine the people that wished they had one more chance to talk, love, or share with them everything they have. 32 souls died a painful death for no reason. Why? Why? Why? My heart will cont to grieve for them , their families, and all their loved ones, as long as i remember them.
One of the most intresting period of my life, was when i was in Command Day Secondary School. (CDSS) ikeja. Well it is a moment i would love to live allllllllll over again, except maybe reducing d butt lashing i went through.lol. Guess what? it actually made my butt firmer though.lol. Lemme start by introducing you to d pple dat made my journey a sweet, nd sour one, as per school authorities. By the way it is a military school mixed with different economy class citizens.
Commandant:He is in charge. ( Did not come in contact with him dat much )
A.O: Administrative Officer. ( Mini devil) He makes lifes of students miserable for no reason.
R.S.M: The main Devil. ( If he flogs you, u will not seat with dat butt for 3 days,no joking )
Soldiers: Lotsssss of them, always waiting for the order of their Oga to flog students lifes out.
Of course we had vice principles, counselors, nd teachers, but they are usually underground, except for some crazy ones. My first day in CDSS, dat was in 1996. I was all happy, nd feeling good dat am now a big girl, soo tired of my primary school. I was ready to move on so bad. Got up early in the morning,(actually was the frst one to wake up in my house ). Got my light green shirt, nd my deep green pinafore, mehnnn dat thing was kinda big, but still i dnt care. My mom took me to school dat day, she helped me get my books, nd got to know my teachers. I was sha praying for her to go quick so i can mingle with my mates.
There is dis thing about my school dat we can't walk in the school compound, we have to double up(jog), except when we are on break. Here comes my very first butt lashing. I was innocently going to exchange a book in d bookstore, then came this tall, chubbing looking soldier, yelling at me, and am still thinking, his he talking to me, with a disgust look on my face.
Agama Lizard: Baggar where you going to? (pointing his cane at me)
Moi: Am going to the bookstore, {still feeling big}.
Agama Lizard: You know sabi say u suppose double up?
Moi: What is that sir?
Agama Lizard: Baggar lie down there.
Moi: Sir, there is dust here lemme go over ther on the concrete......... { Before i even finished talking this soldier just gave me a nice beating on the head for asking a stupid question }
Agama Lizard: Baggar i say lie down there. { i quickly lied down on the dusty field, this guy flogged me six, on my fresh butt }
Moi:{Crying} Sorry Sir!!!. {with a shaky voice}
Agama Lizard: Start jogging to where you going , you bloody civillian.
Poor me,haba d guy did not even pity me dat i was a fresh student. I sweared for the soldier silently, who born me, for him to know dat am swearing at him,dat means...... Infact lemme not talk.My class mates had dis thnk God dat wasn't me on their faces. I doubled up to the book store, and looked carefully b4, i doubled up back into my class. Trust me i had swollen butt, and i felt like i dnt want to go back to that school the next day. During my JSS1 days, i was veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy careful, except for if the soldiers would flog the whole class for making noise in my class,(OMG we were goats in my class, we just can't stop making noise, we were cursed with never shut up your mouth when idle, nd too bad i was stucked with them for three years). Well let me not bombard you with too much, next time i will let you in on how i got into trouble with dis wicked senior. Thnk God he did not kill me sha.lol........
I have all kinda of stuffs in my mind i want to freakin spit out, but am in a confused state of mind, dat i can't even control my freaking inner mind. Damnnnnnnnnnnn i need a vacation or some therapy b4 i run crazy.
I was thinking about this issue, and i can't help but weigh both sides. Trial marriage is when u move in with a guy, and you live together as couples. This is becoming more rampant especially with young adults. I found out that both males and females have two different reason of going into a trial marriage.I begin to wonder to myself why do females go into trial marriage? Everyone one has their own reasons. Some might say just to know how the guy really is before they get into the real marriage. Also if the guy is the kind of person dat is sloppy, how responsible is he? some might say to monitor their man, if he is cheating or not. Well if a man is going to cheat right under your nose he is going to cheat. which makes me wonder why married men still cheats on their their partners.Some might even say it is better, cos they dnt want to go into marriage nd all it's legal issues.Some might say for security. Security? Security for what? I really dnt know, but if you do pls let me know. I think the main reasons why most ladies go into trial marriage is just to use it as a faster route for marriage. To get his hands on dat document as soon as possible, but the fact remains dat most of dis trial marriages, ends up in DISASTER. If dis sounds offending to you am sorry, i just gotta express my feelings, nd KUDOS to you if yours worked out fine, or u knw someone dat went through it fine. Ladies do you know why guys go into dis kinda relationship? Well no offense to d guys, i just gotta say it d way it is. The main reason why most guys go into dis kinda relationship is because of frequent sex. So dey dnt have to worry about calling up their girl, whenever they feel like having sex. Also found out that most guys go into this just to get a girl that will take care of them, doing laundry, taking care of the house, and all dat extra chores dey feel lazy doing. Well it is now a different issue when kids are involved. Now they have to worry about the well being of their kids, both socially, nd emotionally. I think it is kinda ok too, if u r engaged with dis fella, nd you are getting married soon. SOON as in less dan a year.In my own words, if you are young and thinking about this, pls evaluate d pros nd cons b4 going in. Really i think it kinda gives u more respect as a female.
Good Friday!!!, Holy Friday!!!, the friday that Jesus said on the cross." It is finished ". I wonder sometimes, what does it take for someone to die for me, to go through all kinds of mockery, suffering, just because of love. Who can ever LOVE me like dis? None. I still wonder why the LORD will pray for the people, that crucified him. The Holy Book Of John chapter 17: vs: 15-26.
15. "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. 16. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17. "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18. "As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19. "For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. 20. "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21. that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22. "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23. I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. 24. "Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25. "O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; 26. and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
Can you still love someone despite all the hatred they have shown you? In my own words i pray God should give me the sprit of forgiveness. What about you?
What do you do when the people you love are doing the wrong thing? What do you do when they don't understand the reason why what they are doing is wrong? What do you do when you know the end of the tunnel they are walking into is darkness? What do you when they confuse the truth for lies? What do you when you feel you can't help it anymore? Do you back off? or do you stick with them until they understand, they have not being in the right track? Do you understand this can affect the relationship you have with this person? Do you respect their boundaries no matter what? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Food for thought!!!!.
This week is observed by Christians all over the world. A week that we should all remember how our Lord and saviour, suffered for our sins.If you want just a lil glimpse of what he went to through for us, i will encourage you to watch PASSION OF CHRIST. So what are you doing on your part to help carry the cross? Don't think am a saint, am just striving to be a better christian. I don't want to nail him harder on the cross with my sins. I pray God help me become a more better christian.
