is marriage really a fulfilment for all Women?

Image
I once read a post of how a retired lecturer gave a departing advise to her students. In summary, she said that as a good Academian, she had enjoyed fame, wealth, travels, respects and many more. She added that all she enjoyed have been forgotten by her as she guaged her lonely life without having a home or children. Hence she advised that the best and fulfilling purpose for every woman is to get married and build a home. What then do I have to say about the post? Well, great writeup and Advise. At least, she feels marriage would give her fulfillment. It is great to know someone gave birth to me and all. The question that remains is about family or no family, it where we see our very own selves, and accept ourselves to be part of. It could be curiosity, business, marriage and just anything. We just need acceptance and Satisfaction in whatsoever we want to do. This is because the old woman who died hungry and alone in the village had children and built a home. In order to bu...

Adriano's Wisdom

Image
My comment on the writeup of Phil, which is an interview of Adriano at: https://www.aschoolfortomorrow.community/posts/striving-to-be-remarkable I think the point that corrects me in this writeup is point 2. "remarkable leadership requires you to seek it out and listen to understand, not listen to respond. Great learning often occurs in this struggle. Reflection is a process of examining and interpreting experience to gain new understandings and growth. Take time to always reflect, affirm and remember to be gentle with yourself." At most times, I have feared people's feedbacks because I think it would break me and make me take longer time to heal. So, I try getting feedback other ways. Either ways, some things still has to break us as humans, and we still get to heal to be stronger. I reflect on myself, but I have not seen myself gentle or treated me with gentleness. Why? Because I feel 'if the world will never be gentle, why should I harbour such bel...

THE COUNSELLED SPOUSE.

Lisa and Mike have 2 girls and two boys. They feel it is the responsibilities of the girls to take care of the home like waking up early, sweep amd tidy up all the personal rooms, store room and kitchen, cook three times  a day for the family, wash the plates, wash clothes and every other house chores. While the boys have to "try to" wakeup and then do whatever they want through out the day. Amaka and chioma, (Lisa and mike's daughters) have complained several times, of how their brothers would: "Not lift a finger to even tidy or arrange their clothes"; "Not clean their rooms"; "Not wash a heap of their dirty clothes"; "Not return the plates they eat with, but stack them up on a table in their rooms like a major waste hill"; " They do not wash their plates after eating, hence, no plates returned or washed to be used in serving them food again, they cannot as much as flush the toilet"; "Keep their shoes wel...

The Woman or The Man

Image
The woman should learn how to be a good wife, She should learn how to care for: -the husband; -the children; -the in-laws; -the future; -the loses; -the pains; -the rejections; -the compromise; -the betrayal; BECAUSE THE MAN OR WOMAN IS WHAT??? The truth is, male and female should both invest and compromise in their relationships. Marriage should be about companionship rather than dominion. Marriage should be about two humans with equal Consent,  Rights, Responsibilities, honour etc. Therefore, Marriage should be a ground where bigger ideas are birthed, why? Because two great minds just came together to rub minds and not the other way round. Whether it is the man or the woman, we are have all blood flowing through our veins, We all have brains, We all have Gonads, We all can be hurt, We all can be vulnerable, We all want to be loved and accepted. Then if I may ask: why then do we treat others irritably less than others? Why the we force the man not to cry out his pain a...

United Nations, a toothless bulldog

Image
United Nations (UN) was established after world War two in 1945. The UN charter was signed by 50 countries and it eventually had 51 member countries in the year 1945. Currently (2020), United Nations is made-up of about 193 member states. Being a successor of the leagues of nations, UN came as a result of the devastation of Humanity and Human environment from the world war two. Hence it intention to maintain world peace and save humanity from the scourge of war. Therefore, instruments and bodies where established to ensure that: There is peace throughout the world; That friendly relations among nations are developed and sustained; That nations work together to improve the lives of poor people, to conquer hunger, disease and illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other’s rights and freedoms; That UN is a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations to achieve these goals and all Human rights. To this end, programmes are planned, ractified, implemented and voted for. ...

TRUTH BE TOLD....

  Truth be told, death is this end of all living things, and we are all eventually going to die. But what makes dying different is that, we all want to die when we are satisfied or fulfilled in life. Then, we accept death as normal. Still, when we all die, is it the end? Is there another life that we have to continue after this present mortal life is over? Of course yes! Hence, we believe of the life after death, Which is determined by the life before death. Therefore, we all have to live to get the merit of being worthy of the life after death right? Then let me ask, why does death now seem too much of misery? Why do we morn hopelessly It is because we have chosen to focus on here rather than here for the hereafter? All I want to say is; this is a hope for the hereafter. There is hope for a better life with no pain of mortality. When Immortality will swallow up mortality, we will enjoy all things prepared for us in Christ. Those things which have been assured to us by ...

Success is not for the Educated but for the Strong.

Aunty Eka, thank you for not giving up on me 10 to 11years ago. Even when everything seemed I was useless, a thief and everything worthless, you still stood by me and believed in me. You went as far as telling all who cared to listened  to you, that so many may have misjudged me. Those were days I lost everything worth living for, and preferred death to life. There was no integrity left for me to fight for, as those who stood against me were stronger and well placed. Yet, God shined His light through you. God bless you for yesterday and today. I have never forgotten what you said to me one night when you came back from NYSC Camp. You said: "When I first gained admission, I slept in a church and rain dripped in. After two weeks, the hostel team later gave me a worthless and rat infested place to stay since I resumed late and could not afford to pull strings. So, I cleaned the place and made it my heaven. With the place transformed, every rich kid wanted to live with me ...
