Son: "My brother-in-law treats me like a stranger..." Please, read.
I
witnessed this incident recently. I think it's better understood in a
script form. You might also find it familiar. Here is the conversation:
{A young man (married) came visiting his mother}
Son: Mother, could you believe, Justin, my brother-in-law, collects transport fare from me each time I board his bus?
Mother: Haba! That’s enough now! You told me before and I told you not
to be angry though I know he’s not totally correct. How many times are
you going to keep repeating that?
Son: Yes, I know but he keeps
repeating same thing too. And to worsen the issue, he pretends that he
doesn’t know me at all but I know he knows me too well. What kind of
in-law is that?
Mother: Okay, don’t be annoyed, I’ll talk to him when next I see him. Okay?
Son: Okay o… just make sure…
(coincidentally, Justin, the man in question enters and greets the duo) knocks…
Mother: (Seeing it’s her son-in-law) Oh! Thank God, we were talking about you. Do you know this man sitting here?
Son: (before the man responds) Of course, he does!
Justin: (reluctantly) yes…
Son: What did I tell you mother? He can’t deny that fact!
(Then Mother narrates all her son had told her)
Justin: (abruptly) Ah! Please, I didn’t buy my bus for welfare work! I
bought it for business so EVERYBODY should be ready to pay me for my
service!
Mother: What?!
Son: Yes! And he is telling you, mother that even you should be ready to pay him too! That’s your son-in-law talking!
Mother: No, Justin; that’s not good enough. I’m not saying you should make it totally free but sometimes…
Justin: (shouting) No! No! No! No!... Don’t give me that! Nobody should
preach that kind of sermon to me! In fact, I don’t want to hear any…
(with that, he walked away)
Son: See! He walked out on you! (Mother was simply dumbfounded)
Have you encountered something similar before? Now, if you were in position to settle this case, what is your judgment?

Written or Seen this kind of Letter before?
I
remember those days when I used to see some heads clustered at one of the desks
at the back of the classroom… (sure the girls did theirs at home or somewhere
outside the classroom)
(Don’t
mind the ENGLISH…)
“
Dear …,

am written you this letter bcos I canot sleep again since I set my wondring
hansom eyes on you. Truth… I swear, I canot lie. I canot sleep yesterday’s
night. Even thogh I canot eat. My father ask me what happen. My mother ask me
why you cant eat? I lie. I said, I have headache. I know I was sicking of LOVE
but I canot tell anybody. Who can help me now? When I came to school this
morning, when I saw you, my heartbreak. Sorry. Because I am afraid so that I
will not have heartattack, infact I canot understand how am feeling again. I
told my frends and they advice me to right this letter to you. So now we are
writing it together. I love you … You are very fine girl. You are the only cockroach
in my cupboard. You are the only sugar in my tea. You are the only cloth in my
hanger. I like your shape. You are my friend I don’t see I dont sleep. (ore
kori kosun lo so yen o! lolz) As I was telling you before this my friend shake
my hand because of I am having headache now because of you. Please help me I
want us to be loving ourself. Please, like me and let me like you too. Infact,

girl read it very well and understand. Don’t forget anything inside. And let us
meet at the mango tree at the back of the school after assembly ground. Please
put me in your mind and love me. Thank you … Before I drop my golden pen, I say
that I love you, fine girl. Please, kiss me when you come and meet me. I will
wait for you. Thank you that you read my letter. I believe you enjoyed my
letter very well. Here I drop my golden pen which my pastor gave me from
Jerusalem. And I rest my case. Yours
sincerly …”
(Lolzzzz!)
I
think they call this “LOVE LETTER”. Isn’t it? You must have written something
like this before too! (winks) May be with “Brighter” grammar. Lolz! Did it work
for you? Don’t even try to lie, else you’ll develop a LONG NOSE! Lolz!
… joy to your hearts! - ‘Nido

"... so he started crying and screaming, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! ..."
On a Thursday morning, about a month ago, I witnessed a scene at a very busy bus terminal, which I’d like to share with you here. It was a crowd surrounding a woman whose hands were cuffed so out of curiosity I was compelled to ask questions. She had been caught with a child she had successfully kidnapped from a holiday school, usually called “lesson” (the child, about 4years old was wearing a mufti). But as God would have it, while she was sneaking away, the boy suddenly saw a woman she recognized, probably his mother so he started crying and screaming “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!” In a nutshell, that was how the kidnapper was caught. I’m sure she’s somewhere now paying her debt… Thank God the baby could talk, else, you know the possible results. About 3 weeks later again, I heard a little boy was missing in another school, after closing hours… Are “THEY” at it again?
I think teachers need to be more vigilant, parents, neighbours too… everybody. PLEASE, TELL SOMEBODY TO TELL ANOTHER. Thanks. - ‘Nido

"Whatever has changed or GONE WRONG in the system , CHECK IT, has always been a product of 'HUMAN ALTERATIONS'."
Going
by the Christian religion belief (spiritually now, not unnatural
anyway), God himself proved it that (originally) He "wired" Adam for
"one woman" and that was why he made just ONE Eve from his rib and
presented "ONLY EVE". On the other hand, I perceive God telling Eve,
"This is the only man you know, Adam." Whatever has changed or gone
wrong in the system , CHECK IT, has always been a product of 'HUMAN
ALTERATIONS'. Let's consider it, is it practically possible for a man to
give same level/measure of care to two women at same time; is it
possible to have sexual intercourse with two women simultaneously, LET
ALONE FOUR?! Except such individual is a "devil" (Forget about those
abominable practices that even ANIMALS WILL NOT fancy or dare!) THE
UNSEARCHABLE WISDOM OF GOD HAS NATURALLY MADE IT SO FROM THE BEGINNING,
EVIDENT IN OUR BODY STRUCTURE! And if a woman is getting attracted to
other men outside her marriage... Isn't it naturally shameful to act
like a prostitute or senseless animal? Concerning double-dating, I'm yet
to find any justifiable reason to engage in that. However, I believe
you all agree with me that it is better to break-up a relationship
(based on genuine reasons) than have a broken home but let it be ONE AT A
TIME, WISELY and GODLY too. I leave you with this - TO MEN & WOMEN:
"Drink water form your own cistern, running water from your own well.
SHOULD YOUR SPRINGS OVERFLOW IN THE STREETS, YOUR STREAMS OF WATER IN
THE PUBLIC SQUARES? Let them be yours alone, NEVER TO BE SHARED WITH
STRANGERS." to MEN: " May your fountain be blessed, and may you REJOICE
IN THE WIFE OF YOUR YOUTH... may HER BREASTS SATISFY YOU ALWAYS, may you
EVER BE CAPTIVATED BY HER LOVE. WHY BE CAPTIVATED... BY AN ADULTERESS?
WHY EMBRACE THE BOSOM OF ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE?... WICKED... will DIE for
LACK OF DISCIPLINE, led astray by HIS OWN GREAT FOLLY." (Proverbs
5:15-23) "DISCIPLINE..." Did you notice that? Discipline also gives rise
to many more FAITHFULNESS + FIDELITY, and the likes.

"Never Force Anyone to Fall in Love with you."
Once again...
On a general note, it takes God to make anyone love you (or for you to love anyone). Also for a successful relationship/marriage, it takes God to make a man love a woman or for any woman to love a man. Forget about what they call “Love Portions” or “Love Charms”, “Sex Chats”, Seduction, and the likes! Whatever “they” offer you is a MIRAGE! So WAKE UP! Stop dreaming! Never force anyone to fall in love with you –it doesn’t even work (they can only pretend they do)! They will soon FALL OUT the same way they FELL IN! No one can love you, EVEN you can never love anyone genuinely, EXCEPT BY GOD.

THE WILL OF GOD...
May be this is for a certain set of people...
If you believe in THE WILL OF GOD, you must learn to seek God's will in everything (first) -don't wait until MARRIAGE. Get used to His voice before "injury time"... The earlier you start, (to know when God is speaking to you and what He is saying) the better for you.
Also remember that THE BLESSING COMES IF WE OBEY. Best of favour!
