Dear Successful Woman

Good morning friends.
How are you doing? I trust that all is well.
Tales from the road is loading...

Bus Conductor: All of you just dey bring five five hundred. I no get change o

Kneekey2: Conductor, here's one thousand so you won't have only five five hundreds...

Smh @ Kneekey2.

Anyway, I'm on my regular Facebook waka and I saw a post about America's super couple's alleged marital problems and impending split. First of all, why is it domestic staff that are usually the 'source'?
As usual, the hilarious part is in the 'Comment' section. Someone has advertised whatever it is they're selling. Another one has posted a vacancy...smh!
Some are there lamenting how ugly the husband is (Eda omo araye). Then there's the comment that caused this post. According to the Dibia that has received revelation from the spirits, the reason why the supercouple are having (unconfirmed) marital problems is because the wife is as rich as the husband...People, the oracle has spoken...

PS: Success and likeability is positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women. So, dear successful woman, don't expect too many fans. Just make do with air conditioners and natural ventilation...

Welcome to my world...

Tales From The Road - Bank Runs

Long time friends...

I lost my ATM over the weekend so I decided to just block the card and link the account to the second ATM card I have from the same bank. I also had another transaction to do in the bank. I thought I'll just breeze in and out of the bank...Err, WRONG! I spent about one and a half hours on this matter...

I got to the 'bank' (which I noticed for the first time TODAY is actually a Quick Service Point, QSP) and met a queue. I gritted my teeth, quickly asked for relevant forms and joined the queue. I filled the forms while waiting. I noticed that one dude was trying to do some 'kurukere' and jump the queue. I quickly put on my 'War against Indiscipline' look and warned him to join the queue (that move ALWAYS backfires but do you think Kneekey2 listened to the inner voice of reason that told me to chill out? You guessed right...No, she didn't...). As I was waiting for my turn, I realised that my colleague was also in the bank. He drove so I asked him to please wait for me. So, I was gingered to finish quickly.

The bros aiming to jump the queue told me his transaction was a quick one; I told him mine was shorter. I eventually got attended to before him. As I was waiting for my transactions to be concluded, I heard someone call me by my maiden name. Lo and behold, I saw my old school mate whom I hadn't seen in 11 years. As we 'caught up' across the hall, she reminded me that it's been 11 years and I realised that kneekey2 is now an 'Agba', lol.

The customer care lady told me she had blocked my lost card but that I needed to get to another branch (the main bank in the area) to link my account. In 2015? I was just weak and I decided to leave without making a scene as my colleague was waiting for me. I quickly got my old school friend's number.

I got to the car park and began to search for my colleague..."I yahoo yahoo, no one, no one; I gmailed gmailed, no one, no one, I facebooked, facebooked, no one, no one; there was no one like him", lol. The bros trying to jump the queue came out and was laughing at me. He even offered me a ride...See why I need to stop all these my WAI moves...it didn't worth it, lol.

Since I couldn't find my colleague, I decided to get to the main branch. The description I was given seemed straightforward enough...Err, WRONG AGAIN...I joined a bus and asked for the landmark I was given at the QSP when the bus conductor didn't seem to know about a second branch of the bank (that should have been my cue but did kneekey2 take the cue? You guessed right again).

The kind man in the bus that knew where the main branch was showed me where to alight. He pointed to the landmark and told me that the branch was OPPOSITE the landmark. To be fair to him, he said something about taking a bike but I wondered why I needed a bike when the bank was OPPOSITE the landmark. So, kneekey2 decided to take a quick stroll. And that's how I kept going...and going...and going. I got to a point and I had to ask where the branch was. Plain and unadulterated wickedness fa. The branch was located too far from the landmark to be described as being OPPOSITE the landmark. After travelling about a quarter of the Israelite journey (okay 1/20 is truer, lol), I FINALLY found the branch. I wonder why I had to go to such an obscure location just to link my account to an existing ATM card...Nigerian banks be insensitive to their customers since nineteen kpidirim...

Finally, I got to this branch and met a queue...Ha! Again? So I went to one of the customer care reps that was kinda sitting apart and asked if she could attend to me as I had come from far, like the wise men, just to link my account. Thankfully, the lady asked me to wait for her to finish attending to the person she was talking to when I got in. It turned out that she was the only one that could attend to me in the entire branch. Sigh. She looked familiar. We traced our entire backgrounds and we still couldn't establish why she looked familiar...Then she gave me a form that I just filled at the QSP and I lamented that I filled a similar form earlier. She asked why they didn't deal with my request at the QSP. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, lol. While waiting for the nice lady to complete my transaction, one of the other customers claimed that he would share a testimony as he came to XX bank and for the first time EVER, he didn't have to queue. Hahahaha.

As I headed back, I could see the expressway but there was this wire mesh between where I was and the expressway. I asked one of the guys around if there was an opening that I could go through to get to the expressway. He told me there was but I couldn't bend through it. I told him I could bend...So, he gave me directions. When I got to the 'opening', I saw his point. The 'opening' was at the bottom of the mesh. I had to ask the guy that came through how Herod it. He said I essentially had to slide through the opening. Considering how things had gone so far, I knew attempting to glide through would be disastrous for me. So, I advised myself and used the 'long-cut', lol.

That's how I joined a bus going to the bus stop I'm supposed to be familiar with. The route the driver used is one I'm not familiar with. I think the bus was going at 1 km/hr, lol. The conductor kept talking about a 'ram bacteria' bus stop. I was wondering what was going on in the mind of whoever named the bus stop...Finally, one of the passengers said he wanted to alight at 'raw material' bus stop...Raw material, ram bacteria...Same difference...Who names these bus stops? Smh!

Finally, after only one and a half hours, I concluded my 'walk in the park' bank runs.

Welcome to my world....

Human Papilloma Virus

I hope you are in excellent health today.

Today, let us talk about Human Papilloma Virus or HPV for short.

HPV is the name for a group of viruses that affect the skin and mucous or moist membranes in your body like the cervix, anus, mouth or throat. It is sexually transmitted and it is different from Herpes group of viruses which cause similar infections in people infected.

HPV is common and highly contagious. There are several types of the HPV (about 100 subtypes) and about half of these subtypes can affect the genital area.

HPV can cause genital warts and malignant changes (abnormal tissue growth) in the cells of the cervix which could lead to cervical cancer.

Infections caused by HPV are seen mostly in sexually active females (most especially females of child bearing age). If one tests positive, it is advised that the partner is also tested. It is also advised that you discuss with your doctor about testing options and the vaccines available before taking one.

The tests usually carried out are semi-invasive i.e an instrument will be used to collect some samples of your cervix for test. Your doctor will guide you on what todo.

Do take care of yourself, sister.

Until  next update, keep being healthy and God Bless you.

Common Vaginal Infections

It’s your Friendly Health Worker here.
So, we will have a general talk about common Vaginal Infections. These infections may be caused by Hormonal Imbalances, Antibiotic use, Sexual Intercourse, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding.
Note carefully, these factors generally predispose one to Vaginal Infections but some women are more prone to Vaginal Infections than others for no known documented reasons. You should always see your doctor whenever there are signs and symptoms you may have that you are not comfortable with.
These infections include;
Yeast Infections- Caused by Candida species. I think this is the commonest given our penchant for antibiotic abuse. It causes vaginal/vulval itching, redness and thick, creamy discharges. 
Trichomonitis or “Trich’- Caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis and is sexually transmitted. Causes burning, irritation, redness, and swelling of the vulva, with a yellow-gray or greenish vaginal discharge, possibly with a fishy odor. Some women also experience pain during urination.


Bacterial Vaginosis- Caused by the Lactobacilli that are naturally resident in the vagina (Gardnerella species are usually implicated in this case). They only cause infections when there is a change in the pH balance of the vagina causing an overgrowth of the bacteria species.
Chlamydia Vaginitis- Caused by the organism Chlamydia trachomatis. This is sexually transmitted
Non infectious Vaginosis- Caused by sensitivity to irritants like perfumed soaps, douches etc. Treatment is simple. Stop using those products and the skin irritation will go away.
Viral Vaginosis- Caused by viruses like Herpes Simplex group of viruses.
Like I have said repeatedly, when you see a discharge you are not comfortable with, see your doctor for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Never self medicate and never take someone else’s prescription. 
I’ll be back with more on our health, sis. Till then, keep being healthy and God bless you.

THE FRIENDLY HEALTH WORKER - DEBUT

Yippee! I have my first official guest writer. She's a health worker and will for now be known only as our Friendly Health Worker. Sponsors are VERY WELCOME for this segment.

It’s your Friendly Health Worker here.
You see, I decided to start writing you these little friendly notes because I have noticed you may have been doing certain things wrong without knowing; by wrong, I mean, you have been committing the sins of omission and commission with regards to your health and have put your health at risk one way or the other. Now, like someone who cares for you, I have taken it upon myself to drop some friendly nuggets so that you can take better care of yourself.

Why is it my business? I care. Simple. Our focus this millennium is Preventative Medicine and the first step is EDUCATION. So, from now, rest assured I’ll be stopping by every week to open your eyes and mind to certain things.
In this note, we will talk about myths related to PERSONAL HYGIENE and how it affects your health. Personal Hygiene can be related to those everyday practices that we may carry out in order to reduce/halt the spread of infections. These practices range from hand washing to clothes washing; from mouth washing to feminine washing. Never mind, I promise to be brief.
You know how if you don’t wash your clothes, they smell? That is how our mouths and bodies are. I will not bore you with details of how to wash your mouth and bodies but I will dispel some myths you may have heard while growing up.
You do not need a hard brush to have clean teeth. Hard brushes erode the visible part of the teeth called ENAMEL and over time can lead to tooth sensitivity which can be very uncomfortable to live with. Having a clean mouth and fresh breath is a combination of the right use of products and good brushing techniques. And of course, scheduled Dental visits.
You see that liquid in that bottle in your bathroom? Yes, that FemWash you use to clean your vagina every morning to get rid of ‘smells’? Ditch it!! Now! Throw it in the trash!!! You see, the body has been fearfully and wonderfully made. There are ‘friendly’ microbes that reside on the skin and in the vaginal area whose jobs are to create a balance of pH in those areas. Once that balance is created, you notice that you have little or no reasons to have discharges or ugly smells coming from your vagina. Also, there are discharges that are perfectly normal. See your gynaecologist if you have any discharge or smell that bothers you but never douche with a feminine wash!!! It will do you more harm than good. Instead, a non perfumed, gentle soap will do or better still, wash with good old warm water alone. Surprised? You will thank me later.
That towel you can’t seem to get rid of? Yes, that one that has changed colour from blue to white? Ditch it!!! Need I tell you why? LOL
Change your toothbrush every three months or as soon as they start fraying at the edges. This prevents teeth and gum injuries.
Don’t self medicate!!!! It is very dangerous. We will talk about this in another post.
If your vagina is itchy, it is not ‘toilet infection’. In fact, there is nothing like toilet infection. See a qualified doctor for check up so that the cause of the itch can be traced and treated appropriately. It could be a change in diet or lifestyle or hormonal changes causing it but never, ever take any symptom for granted. And never self medicate!!!
Do you know your undies ought to also be change periodically? Yes. Some ‘yamayama’ germs may decide to live, increase and multiply on that your special red pant. Please, ditch it after 3 months or once the colour starts fading. 
Most importantly, find a qualified Obsterician/Gynaecologist and befriend. Also, make sure to keep his/her appointments at least twice in a year. It may be the difference between life and death for you, you may never know.
A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
Have you heard of Cervarix? It is a vaccine against Human Papilloma Virus, a major predisposing factor in Cervical Cancer. Book an appointment with a gynae today and ask about this wonderful vaccine. It may save your life!!!
Until next tip, sister, keep being healthy and God bless you.

THIS LIFE OF BEANS

This life sha. It is well.

That’s how I was going on my own jeje and one Aunty decided to make me her by-force confidant. Me that I’m disciplining myself not to be talking upandan.

In the space of 2 days of ‘friendship’, Aunty was already telling me the kind of phone she uses. I met her in a group and she started telling me how she felt unwelcome after 2 days. Sigh!

I hail the men that have to deal with women who can never seem to stop chatting. Like it’s a crime to be quiet or something. I told the lady in this gist that in the group she was talking about, we can go for 1 week without chatting, then have 350 messages in 1 hour, when required.

I met another lady online and without asking, she started telling me her family history…And I am not a doctor o or a therapist. I know I’m supposed to be playing but this one is a serious matter. There is a time to keep silent. You shouldn’t meet someone in one day and be telling them your life history IF they are not doctors that need to know your medical history. Talkie talkie can fit to cause wahala ooo.

Welcome to my world.

Tales From The Road - The Destiny Edition

Good morning my people. I have come again as I usually come.

 

I am on the road again, 3rd Mainland to be precise. The bus I'm riding in is overheating and the driver has FINALLY found someone to borrow him water. I had advised the driver to fetch water from the body of water around it. And I have a meeting to attend by 9am. All these workers of iniquity that want to use their reggae to spoil my blues, God pass you ooo.

 

One dude is trying to get a bike from Third Mainland Bridge to Lekki. It is well! God will help us...And I really woke up early today ooo.

 

Thankfully, the bus has started moving. Na prayer and fasting I dey take move am ooo.

 

The ring tone of this mummy sitting beside me that looks like a conc SU is Korede Bello's "God win". Shebi some people are saying that it is not a spiritual song. Issorait.

 

A mum and her kid are singing The Barney song and other nursery rhymes. Way to go, mom. Reminds me of the part of the song that Little Madam loves from her Cedarmont Kids CD - "The Mummies in the Bus go 'shh shh shh'". My best part of the song is "The babies bus go 'ween ween ween'". That's how we both send ourselves sublimal messages jere...

 

The driver of our bus was trying to emotionally blackmail the driver he was begging to allow him join the proper lane with "Abiyamo sha ni yin" (You are a parent). Please don't ask me what being an "Abiyamo" has to do with giving him the space o. The dude beside me asked our driver if he also isn't an "Abiyamo". According to him, an "Abiyamo" will not drive the nonsense that our driver has been driving. The Bros eye dey red, mehn. Lol.

 

This 'shortcut' the driver came through is longer than the 'longcut'...There's even water on the road. If to say fasting and prayer dey finish, na this journey I for exhaust my yearly allocation...God will help us.

 

We FINALLY broke through and I made it JUST in time for my meeting. It's definitely a destiny transforming story...Welcome to my world...

Destiny Matters

So, a pastor tells his members to come without make-up, hair extensions, false lashes, acrylic nails, fake noses etc; the way God made them. 
One woman is tisharing us bad thing...she's asking if the pastor REALLY means that the members should come THE WAY GOD MADE THEM...As in with their birthday suits. Erm...
I wonder what pastor will do when one "efiwe" that can sabi to do over-syllabus follows the instructions to the letter...I'll definitely be following up on that story. Maybe that's what will help me get my own house in Banana Island. 
Tales From The Road is loading, as I'm still on the road. Whatever causes the evul traffic jam on 3rd Mainland Bridge is on duty today while Governor Ambode lectures us on depression. No vex, Governor, bhet this traffic jam MAY be one of the unidentified causes of depression in Lagos. I searched Google for how destinies are drained in Lagos; the picture below was the #1 image. (Try it and see if na lie I lie). Governor Ambode, please look into this matter; souls are perishing fa. 

It's another great day to be alive. Welcome to my world. 

KNEEKEY2 CRIES OUT

I found this on a post I put up last year. I hope it reaches a heart. Please send a message to the page and let's help you find your way back home...

Actually, my focus is on those that have some form of influence with these men (their mothers, sisters, cousins, friends, pastors etc). My aggravation is when these influencers begin to sing the ‘99% of (African) men cheat’ song so that they won’t have to tell the man the home truth. They have no qualms insinuating that the woman must have done something to cause the man to cheat.

I was in a public place with perhaps more men than women. A woman ‘preacher’ decided to ‘preach’ to everyone with a megaphone…She kept harping on how women should be godly, virtuous bla bla bla (I have no qualms with that). Then she got to marriage matters. She kept telling women to be virtuous wives etc… She finally landed on women married to adulterous men…She kept telling the women what they were doing ‘wrong’. I wonder what possessed her to ask herself why she was not addressing the men. She then said ‘Let’s leave the men to God’…WHAT??????????? We can take the women to the cleaners but we’ll leave the men to God? I felt like grabbing her megaphone to help God tell the men His mind. Thank God that I am a believer, lol. Then she started one unholy gist about how God ‘punished’ one adulterous man who died from HIV but his wife who continued to sleep with her confirmed adulterous husband was miraculously saved…I am so glad that I am a believer…I don’t know what I could have done if I wasn’t a believer, lol.

I came across 2 posts yesterday of women dealing with adultery (they are the ones I talked about earlier). The ‘counsel’ I read from the women made me want to cry ‘Come, Lord Jesus, come. If it’s too early for that, please send angels to knock some sense into Your children’. It’s like I missed the memo where God said that adultery is no longer a sin.

Then, all these ‘counsels’ of ‘If you don’t give it (whatever ‘it’ is) to him, another woman will give it to him outside….' Is adultery no longer a sin? Will we continue to look while the enemy finishes our testimony with this evil of adultery?

Scriptures to ponder on…

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; and of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; because they have committed villainy in Israel, and HAVE COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS’ WIVES, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 29:21-23)

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, AND COMMITTING ADULTERY, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away (Hosea 4:1-3)

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, ADULTERY, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness (Galatians 5:19)

ABOUT "MONITORING SPIRITS"

I came across a post today that took me down memory lane. It reminded me of the time when I had my personal monitoring spirit in human flesh. We're good now so this is both for your reading pleasure and a guide on "HOW NOT TO BE PESTERED BY A MONITORING SPIRIT"

 

My monitoring spirit was on WhatsApp. She'll expect me to leave life as I know it to attend to her WhatsApp chats; she'll ask me why she can see me "Online" yet I'm not responding to her chats. I was nice for a while, explaining and all. When I realised that I was usually guilty until proven innocent with her, I let her know that monitoring doesn't work for me.

She tried to turn it around, telling me that she was just looking out for me bla bla bla. She tried the emotional blackmail aka silent treatment and that didn't work. We shared a few strong words. According to her, if you care about something/someone, you'll give them attention. Yeah ma'am but if you love something/someone, you'll give them some breathing space too. Finally, we're getting along better now. I try to respond to her chats as soon as I can get to it and I think she's learning to understand that I'll get to her chats when I can...

 

Thankfully, my inbox is saner now that I publish any inbox nonsense on my Facebook page. If the "spirit" leads, I'll start publishing names too, lol...I'm sick and tired of Inbox Monitoring Spirits. They're following you upandan. Okay, I've monitored a few people online but believe me, I've NEVER asked them why they're ignoring me. I just assume that they've got higher priorities than what I'm chatting about and when they can, they'll get to my matter. If you finally get to my matter and I've found another way to solve it, abeg let it pass. Don't be pestering me with trying to solve a problem I no longer have...That ship has sailed, tenkiu...This one is even the topic of an entire post that I may have written about earlier...Don't expect to put me on hold and still meet me where you left me...AMA is too dynamic for that...Wait for the next time I'll need your help (most likely NEVER) and prove that you care THEN!

Anyway, I'm writing to you from 3rd Mainland Bridge today where whatever it is that causes these evul Monday traffic jams has resumed duty and e tie wrapper come wear suit...Plenty #‎TalesFromTheRoad gist dey but no time to write more for now. I'll see if I can share later.

In other news, what do you think about my "artwork" in the picture? Should I quit my day job and become a Graphic Designer? Or should I just face my day job jeje?

 

Welcome to my world!

SHOW ME THE MONEY

Chai! So, Linda Ikeji bought a mansion for over 500 million Naira in Banana Island (See picture). And we're both using Blogger. She has only 1 blog, I have 4. And I've not made up to 1 million Naira from these blogs. Why is life like this na? I even started my first blog in 2008 while I learnt that she started hers in 2006. Only 2 years difference.

The House

Aunty Linda, if your money is coming from blogging, plix show me the way. Let's collaborate and make tutorials on how to make money from blogging. If the money is coming from elsewhere, I hope it's legit ooo. Because PMB eye dey red ooo...Lest it's you that he'll use as an example...

 

Ehen, then there's the concern that buying such a house may scare a potential suitor or attract gold diggers. As far as I'm concerned, a suitor that can be scared by such "displays of opulence" get for him body and all a gold-digger needs is to know that you CAN one day have gold worth digging...

Then, some think she won't be a submissive wife...I'm not a man but if I were, I'll prefer a rich, unsubmissive wife to a poor unsubmissive wife. Na poor unsubmissive wife brutal pass.

 

For as long as the source of her income is legit, I have only one thing to say to Linda Ikeji on this matter - SHOW ME THE MONEY.

AMAZING HUMANS OF FACEBOOK

Good morning people. Barka da Sallah to my Muslim friends and happy holidays to everyone else, including those that have to work today
I'm trying very hard not to discuss political matters but I just have to say this one. Someone put up a post about how 'they' voted for change (I would have voted for Transformation if Prof. Jega allowed me) and how it was wrong to stone Dr. Saraki, particularly on a religious holiday and she ended with ‪#‎saynotoviolence‬. Though I'm not an APC supporter, I endorse THAT post.
The comments on the post, though, are just shameful. If you're going upandan fighting against domestic violence but you endorse violence and oppression in other areas of our national life, it's time for a ‪#‎HeartCheck‬. Here's the comment that made me run away from the post before I write ‪#‎Nonsense‬ there.
"On Bukola Saraki: Be Careful Where Your Sympathy Lies.
Bukola Saraki may have started facing Karma. In July 2009, Saraki & his co-conspirators including the CBN Governor Sanusi Lamido hatched a plot to bring down Intercontinental Bank. Saraki was owing the bank heavily & Erastus Akingbola was bent on selling his assets pledged as collateral. Many of those assets were listed in the CCT document. The only way out for Saraki to save his assets was to plot the removal of Erastus as CEO of the bank, bring down the bank & Saraki's debt sin will be washed away. Sanusi had a different grudge against Erastus & found a worthy ally in Saraki. Saraki used the press to publish a list of assets of Akingbola & Cecilia Ibru both real & imaginary. Expectedly, it generated & resulted in public hatred for both. Some of the assets were published at current value when they have been acquired at far lower values. The press was manipulated against Erastus by Saraki to give a dog a bad name. Saraki played god. He terminated the careers of thousands of people just to save his assets from being sold by a bank. He caused CBN under Lamido not to accept recapitalisation proposals of the banks. He influenced CBN to make his boy Lai Alabi CEO of Intercontinental. Eventually Saraki's loans were written off. He got his assets back but many families have suffered. Saraki is evil. He is selfish. He will set a whole village on fire just to kill a rat. This is more obvious the way he has gone about his ambitions. Saraki cannot be trusted. He is a great manipulator. Saraki is now confronted with a similar medicine he has applied on people to get to where he is. When this case starts Saraki will be confronted with facts that will shock him. If this is followed to logical conclusion he may lose his assets & even go to jail which is where he rightly belongs. Think twice before you show any sympathy for Saraki, an evil of a man. If he escapes the judgment of man he cannot escape that of God"
ASSUMING that was true, does that justify violence? If your answer is yes, I hope I won't hear a different song from you tomorrow about how violence is never justified ooo.
In other news, I left an awesome group today because the privacy settings were changed from "Closed" to "Secret". I belong to only 2 secret groups and there are business reasons for that. One of my issues with Group 3 was the fact that it was a secret group. Every time I see the "Secret Group", I just keep seeing "Secret Cult". I'm not judging, I'm only explaining...
Have a blessed and productive day.

28 Questions To Ask

Good morning people. How are you doing? We have yet another public holiday in Nigeria. This is definitely one of the reasons I love Naija.
Anyway, as I was doing my Facebook waka after Little Madam woke me up in the middle of the night (She has slept back and I'm trying to ‪#‎BringBackMySleep‬), I came across this post in the group that Dr. Ejiro added me to. Among other things, the post has 28 questions that I believe will be helpful for intending couple...s. The answers should tell you if it's a "Go" or "No Go". I don't think it should replace seeking the Lord but I believe it is a good guide.

1. Will you both be working?
2. How many children will you like to have?
3. What are absolute deal breakers for you in this marriage?
4. Will you allow either parent or relations to visit you for extended periods in the home?

6. When she is on maternity - does she have to keep paying?
7. What type of childcare - nanny, au pair or relations?
8. How will you celebrate the children's birthdays...big parties or small affairs..who pays for this?
9. Are either of you allowed to accept money from parents or siblings....will you disclose it to your spouse?
10.Are you responsible for relatives back home..will you be sending money and gifts...how will you account for that....will the other party be aware?
11. What cars do you hope to drive? Who is paying? Cash or HP?
12. What schools are your kids attending? If private - which party is paying?
13. How much debt does each partner have?
14. How many credit cards?
15. Is a male child important?
16. Will male children be circumcised? If so what method? Hospital or Jewish Rabbi?
17. Will female children be circumcised?
18. Do either of you have significant savings?
19. Do you own property already?
20. How close are you to your immediate family?
21. Can either of you cook? Whose responsibility is it to cook family meals?
22. What chores do you consider the man's and what do you consider the woman's?
23. Do you have a will?
24. Is either partner going down on your work forms as next of kins, if no, why not?
25.Were you hit as a child? Will you hit your kids?
26. When do you resolve issues?
27. How many holidays a year...who pays?
28. Any plans to further your education...how are you planning to fund that?
If you find this useful, please request for the 'ministry' account number, cash gifts in all denominations are welcome. If you don't think it's useful, please drop your 'offering' as you explain why you don't think so. Hehehehehe
Have a blessed and productive day.

Signs of The End Times

And that's how one person like that is calling himself/herself "Destiny Doctor". After writing "abracadabra" all over the place, he/she finished with a prayer about "God-ordained destiny". And people are there typing 'Amen'. There are ABSOLUTELY no references to any holy book and we don't even know which 'God' he/she is referring to yet folks are typing 'Amen'... ‪#‎SignOfTheEndTimes

There is one sharp someborri dia. He/she has commented with an advert on the post that the o...wner of the page must have paid to boost (The page was suggested to me so I know it was boosted).

It makes me think, though, that if someone is willing to pay to perpetuate falsehood, how much am I willing to pay for the furtherance of the gospel? ‪#‎FoodForThought

Tales From The Road - The Preacher's Tales

Good morning my people. I have come again as I usually come.

 

I initially thought of joining a BRT bus since they go through Ikorodu Road but the CMS wahala discouraged me. So I decided to get a bus straight from the park going to Lekki/Ajah. Besides, there's always gist at the park.

 

As I got to the park, I found a half-filled bus and squeezed my long legs in one "angle 90" position like that. As more passengers joined us, one slim young lady in a denim top sat in the seat directly in front of me. I heaved a sigh of relief as things could have been a lot worse, lol.

 

I got busy Facebooking but soon, I started hearing raised voices. I think my fine sisi in a denim had given the guy collecting money maybe 1000 Naira and was asking for "change" (her balance). Somehow, that degenerated to a quarrel. Fine sisi said something that must have really upset the guy. The guy then asked her if she asked for change when she was doing 'work'.

 

That forced me to take a real look at Fine Sisi. Erm, she did look like she had gone for 'work'. As I sat there judging her and thinking of how to spin this story, the Holy Spirit began His work in my heart. He reminded me of the fact that my duty is to preach the gospel and leave the business of convicting the world of sin to Him. My, was I humbled?

 

So, I led the bus in worship and prayed. I've been praying for Fine Sisi since then. This Kneekey2 is now humble. That doesn't stop me from saying, though, that men will still address you by how you dress and that's there's always room at the Cross for one more sinner who's ready to come home...

 

It's the beginning of a new week. Have a blessed and productive day. 

More Adventures of Kneekey2 on Facebook Groups - Part 1

So, Dr. Ejiro added me to this group without seeking my consent. She's one of the people that can do that without being blocked, lol. I just had to add that before someone will ask me again if I'm a groupie. *giving someone the side eye*
Anyway, the group seems alright so far. So many heart-touching stories. Generally cool posts.
I've started seeing the some of the patterns that scared me away from many groups, though. Someone is already talking about keeping the "crazies" a...way. She's actually one of the people that made me reconsider my membership of Group 1 (You can read about my adventures on Facebook groups on kneekey2.blogspot.com). I've seen a few of the people that made me leave Group 1 there again. I'm trying to keep an open mind, though.
If the group passes my 1-week test, I'll probably remain there. If not, I may be preparing Part 6 of my Adventures on Facebook groups.

I find it interesting that what happens in the group stays in the group but what happens in other groups are welcome in the group. I understand the need to protect people's information. However, my philosophy is that whatever you wish to keep secret should be shared just like that on social media. You'll need to be very careful who you share with and what you share...
In Group 3, I found it hypocritical that though it was okay to discuss and mock happenings in Group 1, it was a MAJOR CRIME to talk about Group 3 gist in Group 1.
Someone had commented on a post in Group 1 about groups where one wasn't allowed to disagree with the group Admin. She didn't even mention Group 3's name. Ah, all hell was let loose in Group 3 as this dear friend was evicted for embarassing Admin...Thankfully, the main players in that drama have grown and moved on to greater heights.
Well, I guess this is actually Part 6 of my adventures on Facebook groups. Or maybe Part 1 of "More Adventures of Kneekey2 on Facebook Groups"...Well...
How is the weekend going? Now, I'm going to try to truly face my work. Lol.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G HUMANS OF FACEBOOK

Someone put up a post about a woman who finally conceived after about 8 years of marriage (and a miscarriage). Apparently, when they had a scan last month to determine the sex of the baby, the husband didn't like the 'answer' after waiting so long. So, he's asked Madam to terminate the pregnancy so they can start all over again. You can now pick your jaw from the ground, thanks. Lol. Madam has advised herself and gone to her parents' place FOR... NOW...I hope the Lord will touch his heart...

As painful as the story is, that's not even what is shocking me...One amazing woman of Facebook says it's a fake story because 1) they shouldn't have waited up to 5 months before conducting a scan (nothing in the story says that was the first scan ooo) 2) It is unheard of to see a couple who have waited long for a child to go for a scan to know the sex of the child. The joy alone that they are expecting a child will be so overwhelming that sex of the child is the last thing on their mind.

If that one is paining you, then you need to read this comment - "Please, help me ask our sister if she aborted for him before they got married. This type of dysfunction is usually common amongst couples with such backgrounds,which usually becomes the default settings for their marriage!"

Seriously? Seriously?? Seriously??? I just kent deal...I'm off to search for Zobo...

Welcome to my world!

Tales From The Road - Back To School Edition

Hello everyone. It's been a while. Sorry for the break in transmission.

I decided to stay back and get Little Madam to school before going to work today. I thought I'll chat with important persons before heading to work.

 

She didn't go to bed early so she wasn't too pleased to be woken up from her "beauty" sleep. I thought all her crying was because she was dreading going back to school. As soon as she was properly dressed, she immediately told us "bye" and was heading out. Please don't ask me who this pikin resemble, "it wasn't me", lol.

 

As we headed out, I decided to opt out of the back-to-school arrangement as I may be late for my 10am meeting if I continue with them. Little Madam didn't even tell me goodbye; she's too excited about returning to school. Sigh!

 

As I got to the park, I met the same Baba who is a garage tout trading insults with yet another (elderly) passenger. I wonder what the fight was about this time. The insults ehn...

 

The elderly passenger fighting says the Baba's brain is as tall as Baba's height (which is SHORT). One other passenger says that touting is an apprenticeship that no one ever graduates from. He asked if anyone has ever been invited to the graduation ceremony of a tout. Kai! Human beings get mouth sha. I think that sobered up Baba today...

 

Baba came around to collect our fare. I paid him for three and the fourth passenger on the row paid him. Then he's still pointing in our direction asking "Owo da nbe yen?" ("Where is your money?") to no one in particular. It is well, even in the well...

 

This traffic jam ehn...

 

Thankfully I got to work a bit after 10am and still had to remind others about the meeting. Smh!

 

Anyway, it's the beginning of a new week. Have a blessed and productive day. 

AMAZING HUMANS OF FACEBOOK - DEBUT

One of the people on Facebook who have been working tirelessly to minister "sense" to lost brains put up the picture below and asked the "real" women to show up...Of course, most of the women that showed up admitted that they're "fake". When the "real women" showed up, I realised that there is need for more labourers in the ministry of restoring "sense" to lost brains...
One "real" woman claims that cheating is not the worst thing to happen in a mar...riage...You sabi AMA na...I asked...

"If cheating isn't the worst thing to happen in a marriage, what is? (I'm just curious oooo)."
Another "real" woman (RW2) responded with
RW2 had commented with "...Some people are dealing with worst things. What about living with unrepentant cheaters? That rub it on their spouse faces. How many in this group have access to their hubby's phones? How many can come out and say their hubby is faithful to them. Lets be real here some have not slept with their hubby for over one year..."
This AMA sha! I haff tayad for her. She still used my data to ask RW2 the JAMB question below...
"If a man is bringing his pregnant side chic for his main chic to kiss her belly, is he a "repentant cheater"? It's an innocent question oooo."
RW2 responded with
"The picture did not say he brought the woman for her to kiss her belly! It could also be that she is the one that went to them."
This AMA still went on to use my data to respond to RW2
"Nothing in the picture suggests that he is repentant; a "repentant cheater" will be the one begging the main chic."
You people should warn AMA oooo, she is just wasting my data upandan...
This is my final answer to the "kweshion" after asking the audience, using 50/50 and phoning a friend...
"Personally, cheating AND abuse are my 2 "deal breakers"...When either (or both) are present, it's time to take a critical look at the marriage/relationship and decide if it's worth continuing..."
I trust your weekend is going well...

Welcome to my world...

The husband is the head, the wife is the neck". SAYS WHO?

And I just saw one of my most detested quotes again today..."The husband is the head, the wife is the neck". SAYS WHO?
Please, chapter what, verse what of what book of the Bible makes the woman the neck or any body part? If God intended to make the woman the neck, He would have said so!
There are two reasons why my soul abhors this statement. First of all, manipulative Jezebels use this statement to control their husbands. According to them, the head turns wherever the neck ...turns. See wickedness! If God needed the woman to be in charge, HE WOULD HAVE SAID SO!
Secondly, wicked people use this statement to hold a woman responsible for a man's (in)actions and absolve him of responsibility for such (in)actions. You'll hear nonsenses about how the man strayed because the 'neck' did not turn him in the right direction. This is plain wickedness...
If you, as a man, believe your wife is the neck and you hand over your responsibility to her, you can ask Adam, Abraham and Ahab how that worked out for them. And if you, Madam, believe you're the neck, and you usurp your husband's authority in the process, you can ask Eve, Sarah and Jezebel how that ended for them.
Anyway, AMA, how doth it consign thee? Face your lane joor...
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

TALES FROM THE ROAD - THE SPONTANEOUS EDITION

AMA: Why we comot for road, come pass here? (a rough side of the road).
Driver: Hole full the road.
AMA (IN MY MIND): This place na highway, ba?
Torrrhhhh.
Oga Ambode and PMB, please shook eye for Oshodi-Apapa Expressway. Currently, it is a NATIONAL DISGRACE...While you're at it, the road that connects Olowora to Berger has a dangerous hole too. I don't know if it is a first-tier, second-tier or third-tier road; I just know that the missing drain cover there can lead to loss of lives. Please fix it. Tenkiu

Tales From The Road July 2015 Edition

So, I'm in this bus and we got to a bad patch of road. As usual, police are there doing their thing (whatever that is). Our bus driver refused to cooperate with the policeman so Oga police asked the bus driver for his driver's license (who has tried to get theirs in recent times? That's a series of post right there. I'll share my experience when I have the time). This driver obviously doesn't have a driver's license (note to self: Always ask for the driver's license before boarding a commercial vehicle...Wish me all the best, lol).

So, Mr. Driver sits in his bus after a failed argument with Oga Police. Oga Police has walked away at this time. A wicked thought that I almost voiced was "Mr. Driver, go and give Oga Police what he wants na so you can save our time"...I immediately begin to bind and cast down the thought, considering the magic wand that "change agents" are waving to make corruption a thing of the past...

As we sat there for about 3 minutes, one aunty like that sitting on the row before mine was the first to voice out...

Aunty: Oga, abeg go down go follow Oga Police talk na. You're wasting our time.

AMA (in my mind): Which kain parable is this aunty speaking? How should Mr. Driver "talk" to Oga Police na? Didn't you see that they couldn't reach an agreement?

At that point, one Uncle on the same row as Aunty adds his voice.

Uncle: Oga, go and give Oga Police what he wants joor and let's leave this place.

AMA (in my mind): Now the parable is getting clearer.

Mr. Driver went to Oga Police to "talk". Maybe he found his driver's license on the ground on his way to Oga Police. All I know is that somehow, he and Oga Police were able to resolve their differences and we were allowed to move. I forgot to ask Mr. Driver for his driver's license when I was alighting. I was too annoyed with where he made his "last bus stop"...

This monster called corruption sha...

Anyway, I saw one building like that where the share prices of companies like Tantalizers, Transcorp etc were displayed. I assume it's the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange in Lagos? Nice building, appalling surroundings...

In other news, the BRT fare from CMS to Lekki/Ikate/Jakande used to be 100 Naira, now it's 150 Naira. Why na? Which kain change be dis?

#‎TalesFromTheRoad

Welcome to my world.

Church Fables

A friend told me this story about the lack of empathy that she got from her church members. She eventually left the church, though for other reasons.

According to her, she lost her dad and her sister in quick succession. After a few months of not hearing from church “brethren”, the few that eventually spoke with her told her that the family had suffered such challenges because she hadn’t been faithful with her tithes and seeds. I am not sure how they arrived at the conclusion because I don’t believe they had records.

When I was going through a particular challenge, some well-meaning people kept telling me that my seed would speak for me. I believed it for a while until God helped me with a brain reset. I think that is what is at the root of some of the insensitive comments that come from church folk. There is the general notion that if you are dealing with a challenge, it is always because you have done something wrong.

As I listened to Pastor Yemisi Ashimolowo saying that Jesus’ disciples were in the right place YET the storm came, my brain reset became 100% complete. Lol.

I also remember a time I had to go with other teachers from the Children’s church to visit a family that lost their son. My jaw dropped as one of the teachers told the parents that they had to suck it up and just accept the fact that their son was dead. I felt like making her become dumb. The boy’s father just looked at us without saying anything. I kept praying that the man’s faith was not damaged by the insensitive words from the “comforter”.

IN SEARCH OF PIZZA

I had been craving Pizza for about a week. I had asked a colleague to help me order from Domino's Pizza and she asked me to remind her. Of course, I kept forgetting to remind her.

 

I had made a spur of the moment decision to get to the supermarket during my lunch break. Some colleagues were going that way so I hitched a ride. As we got to the estate, it occurred to me that I could get to Domino's Pizza and pick up the pizza myself. My colleague dropped me off at the Supermarket. Those ones had only transparent carrier bags for items purchased. The lady finally backed down and gave me 2 of those bags when I started warming up for trouble, lol.

 

I asked someone where Domino's Pizza is and she described the location to me. It didn't seem to far to walk to. That's how I started my journey ooo. I kept going and going. At some point, I decided to peep into Facebook. It was for a brief minute.

 

When the walk seemed like it would last forever, I decided to ask some other people. They told me that I had walked past the place. Ah! How could that have happened? They advised that I could take a bus back to the place. It was a good idea as I had a meeting immediately after my lunch break.

 

As I alighted from the bus, I realised that I missed the place when I peeped into Facebook for a minute. These kinds of things only happen to Kneekey2, lol.

 

As I crossed over and was hurrying to the place, a colleague stopped by an offered me a ride back to the office. I thanked her and told her that I still had some business to attend to.

 

I got into Domino's Pizza and placed my order. I was told that I had to wait for 10 minutes. Omo, see effizzy. They have a screen that gives you a status report of your order. The thing was tripping me fa. I don belleful before I chop sef. I noticed that the name of the lady before me was a Nigerian name, though she resemble Oyinbo.

 

As I was waiting, one of my ex-colleagues went past and we exchanged pleasantries. After some time, a guy that went to the same University as I did and whom I met through a mutual friend came to me and asked if I remembered him. It took me a while to remember him but I finally got there.

 

As I settled back in, "Oyinbo" then asked me "What do you do? It's like you know everyone on the block". I smiled and explained to her that the first lady was an ex-colleague and the guy & I went to the same University. I decided to take a few slices of the Pizza there so we had time to properly introduce ourselves and discover that we both attended Federal Government Girls' Colleges. I asked her if she was a half-caste and she told me that she prefers "mixed"...Ooops!

 

I'll like to make a passionate appeal to business owners that they should please consider their customers when choosing their packaging. The supermarket had transparent carrier bags and Domino's Pizza didn't have carrier bags for my take-away order. I was expected to go around town carrying my Domino's Pizza for all to see. I know it's free advertising for you but I'm not sure it makes your customer happy.

 

The attendant found me a small carrier bag that had Domino's Pizza logo (so they still got some free advertising) that I managed to fit my order in. Apart from the carrier bag issue, I can tell you it was worth the 'wahala'.

 

Welcome to My World!

Tales From the Road - The Fuel Scarcity Edition

Good morning people. E ku fuel scarcity ooo. God will help us. Meanwhile, if the success of your business involves ripping off others and causing them to groan, your approach to business is WRONG. If you don't repent, your judgment will start on the second to the Last Day and you go get plenty explanation to give...Dazall!

 

Anyway, I left home this morning by faith. I told myself that if I no see bus, I will jejely protest by "trekking" back to my bed from the sitting room; hehehehe. As usual, God met me on the road as I took the step of faith. I got a ride from someone that lives around and was driving to wherever he was driving to.

We introduced ourselves and I'm sure you know what our discussion was about - fuel scarcity. Of course, he tried to lay the blame on President Jonathan. I told him that GEJ did not originate the subsidy idea, mind you. It was General Obasanjo that started it. He talked about round-tripping and I admitted that the weak regulatory framework makes it possible. Also, it is crazy to expect NNPC to regulate itself. As we got to where I was to alight, we both agreed that General Buhari is not the Messiah that Nigeria needs (neither is it Amadioha, lol). We also agreed that APC is not changing anything but recycling the same people that led us to where we currently are. Me, I'm looking to Jesus to take the wheel because if I act based on what I see, I will move to Gambia. God will help us...

 

As I got to the park to get a bus, I met some guys fighting. No one was calling passengers anywhere. I had a conversation with my legs and moved forward. I wanted to risk the BRT terminal which I had abandoned when I found a reasonable alternative.

 

As I was heading there, I heard someone saying "Obalende, Obalende". I asked him where the bus was and I joined the bus. It was also a LagBus but it wasn't in the regular park. The bus was almost empty but I decided to just sit there and wait. Slowly but surely, passengers started filling the bus. At some point, the man beside me was happy he decided to jettison the long queue at the BRT terminal to join this Obalende bus. I didn't say anything to him (That's how some guys concluded I was "Sister Mary" when I didn't say a word while they were gisting in one bus like that and maybe some other guys thought I was a secret agent when I didn't say a word while they were arguing in a tricycle I boarded...Oh, the power of silence, lol).

 

As the journey progressed and our bus was stopping at each bus stop to pick passengers for "standing", the same guy that was jubilating about his decision to join our bus instead of queueing at the BRT park began to tell nobody in particular about the virtues of the buses at the BRT park. I still can't believe I kept a straight face. Typical Nigerian!

 

I hope Sai Baba realises that the same people that worshipped Christ and sang "Hossana" during His triumphant entry into Jerusalem were the ones that cried to Pilate to "Crucify Him". I can't wait for May 29. We will pray but we will watch also. We will not switch off our brains and trust the politicians to do the right thing.

 

I will remember President Jonathan for his agricultural reforms, the Almajiri schools he built, the signing of the National Content Act, the signing of the Violence Against Persons Act, the revival of the rail system etc. I celebrate him for that phone call to concede defeat; it was a gallant effort on his part. You may not like the man but (un)fortunately, you cannot take his legacies away from him. I will also remember Dame Patience Jonathan and her interesting speeches. So long, President Jonathan, I pray you go on to do greater things. We can have only president at a time but we cannot have too many great men.

 

In other news, I have a question for Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. If truly, part of the debt being owed by the FG was owed by previous governments, which debt was forgiven in 2007 when President Obasanjo, Dr Okonjo-Iweala and their crew waved "Debt Relief" as part of the achievements of THAT government...Hmmmm

 

My other question is to no one in particular. Where did all the people driving cars that are causing this traffic jam I'm in get fuel?

THE ROOT CAUSE OF MARRYING "POTENTIAL"

I was busy minding my own business (okay I checked other people's profiles too, lol) when I saw the silly notification from Facebook about people who commented on a "Top post" in a group I rarely check out. I joined the group so I'll get a few laughs on a really slow Facebook day (interestingly, I don't think of the group even on a slow day, lol). Anyway, I decided to look at the "Top post". Lo and behold, it was THE post. "Which one is "THE post" again?", you may ask. I'll gladly answer the question.

 

THE post is the reason why some ladies are married to broke guys whose "potential" has not yielded any positive dividend in the past 16 years of democracy. I can't remember if I ever got a forwarded email with "THE post" when forwarded annoying emails were the "in-thing". I think I first read "THE post" when I was in Group 1. I'm not sure which is more hilarious - "THE post" itself or the way my fellow "Myth Busters" and I took "THE post" apart...

 

Here's "THE post"

***********************************

A Guy who has no job got married to a banker,despite his fears and several advices that it's not good to marry without a job. Every month the girl would give the guy her full salary of GHc1,500 after removing her tithe. The guy would give the wife GHc250 for personal upkeep and the guy determined what happened to the remaining money. This happened for 3 good years. There was happiness in the family and the wife never refused to do her primary home duties for that 3 years, despite wrong advice from friends that 'you can't be paying the bills and still be doing all the work'. There was a particular month the guy used about GHc900 to travel from region to region for different interviews.

He finally got a job with a good firm. His salary was GHc8,000 monthly 4 a start. He bought his first car (a brand new) for GHc60,000 he gave the wife the car key,& continued to take public transport to work for about 2 years. Then he bought the 2nd car for GHc80,000 took the keys of the first car & gave his wife the keys of the 2nd car. They eventually moved into their own house after few years. One day, the wife was looking for some. documents. She stumbled on a file neatly hidden, when she opened it, she saw her wedding picture when she was very slim in the first page of the file. She then saw that the document the purchase of the land and every other thing in the house were all written in her name! At the last page was the husband's wedding picture and a note written by him:

''MY WIFE IS ALL I HAVE GOT. NOT EVEN THIS HOUSE WORTH GHc280,000 AT THE TIME I BUILT IS MINE'' .Tears started to roll down her eyes.This couple got married in 1998.

 

Last Sunday was their wedding anniversary with 3 children. True LOVE still exists till this day. Are you sure the love you have for your partner can be compared to this one you just read?

No matter what remember you chose each other. It doesn't matter who puts food on the table or who pays the bills. Always know, NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT.

 

Have a Blessed weekend.

***********************************

 

Seriously? Why do I feel the man thinks he did the banker "girl" a favour by marrying her? Then what's with the woman submitting all her salary except her tithe to the man (she for join the tithe na, lol)? Which book, chapter and verse of the Bible asks women to submit their salary to their husbands? Did Sarah do it? Deborah nko? What of the Proverbs 31 woman? If so, where did she get the money to buy the field she considered?

 

Uncle will spend GHc 1100 and give aunty GHc 250 for her upkeep. I just can't deal...I know it's a broke, lazy "potential" merchant that wrote this lie, erm testimony.

 

The part that had me hysterical was the line about her paying all the bills yet doing all the house chores. My simple question is "WHAT WAS THE MAN DOING WITH HIS FREE TIME?"

 

If I know my Maths correctly, the wife gave Uncle Husband GHc 39600 (I haven't calculated how much she might have earned if she had invested it). The first return she got was a GHc 60000 depreciating asset/liability. Mr Husband used seven and a half months worth of salary to buy a depreciating asset to show his appreciation for the GHc 39600 she invested in him for 3 years with hard labour. I question the financial intelligence of both man and wife. How did she end up as a banker sef? I won't want her as my banker, lol.

 

We haven't even talked about the risk involved in this "investment" (Mr. "Potential", Madam is truly expecting her GHc 60,000 car, then the GHc 80,000 car and finally the GHc 280,000 worth of property; it's eventually about the money, lol). Statistically, only FEW men remember the woman who stood by them when times were hard. I can recount horrendous tales of men whose school fees were paid by women who were eventually discarded. If we're talking in terms of risk, the likelihood of getting the outcome described in "THE post" is slim. I can already see a man with an oversized ego and I don't believe this story is true. I think it is the figment of someone's imagination. When I first saw this post about 3 years ago, they celebrated their wedding anniversary "last Sunday with 3 kids". It is still the same this year...Hmmmm

 

If you, Ms Banker, are still going ahead to marry Mr. Potential because of "THE post", please don't mind Kneekey2. She talks too much...Just don't say you weren't warned when you're still waiting after 25 years for your GHc 60,000 or GHc 80,000 car OR your GHc 280,000 properties...

 

Meanwhile, let me face money-making ventures...Have a blessed and productive day.
