The Whatsapp Drama


Compliments of the Season, just for laughs, here’s a joke that a lady in Nigeria sent to me on Whatsapp. It’s so ridiculous that it almost made me to become a Misogynist. Enjoy it.

ATTENTION!!!

Please, somebody is trying to cause false alarm and despondency by spreading a very dangerous rumor about me. I have it on good authority that someone is telling people that I have stopped accepting Christmas gifts. I therefore would like to categorically state that at no point did I ever attempt to stop accepting, contemplated the idea, let alone even dreamt about it. Those are lies fabricated by my enemies who want to tarnish my good reputation and prevent my friends like you from buying me gifts this festive season.

After all said, I would like you to note the following so that you can be duly guided when choosing my gift.

If you’re giving me hamper: I don’t want Bournvita coz it makes me sleep a lot. I prefer Milo [Baba Sala] because I need a lot of energy.

Three Crowns Milk nauseates me, I prefer Peak Evaporated Milk [Holland], it works well for my body. I don’t want Milo and just any brand of Sardine o! Titus Sardine [original brand] is okay.

Granulated Sugar purges me too, St. Louis Sugar is better. Please, don’t buy Nasco Cornflakes, I prefer Kelloggs.

Again, dont buy Beta Malt o! Malta Guiness Malt is better because it’s good for my skin.

Others include but not limited to Mango, Pineapple and Cranberry juice.

If you’re giving me food items: I love fresh fruits! [Kiwi, Raspberry, Strawberry, Olive, Grape, Mango, Pear, Plum, etc]. I don’t want Agbalumo o!  Five crates of newly laid Eggs, at least five live Chicken or Turkey will do. The frozen one causes cancer so I’m being careful. Kings Vegetable Oil, and a bag of Basmatti Rice are acceptable. Please, don’t bother yourself to make Ogi [pap] for me. Hollandia Custard [five bags] ma wapa fun mi [will be perfect for me]!

Thank you so much! May God continue to bless you as you honour this little request from me, your one and only friend.

With one love, I wish you the merry Christmas and prosperous new year in advance!

Remember to add Swiss Lace or French Lace 10 yards for my Aso Odun oh [Christmas and New Year outfits]!

WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS SHE PONDERING?



I've Been Searching



You move like no one

When all is said and done

You fill me with your love

You are truly gracious and fun

You lift me higher and set my spirit on your divine fire

Now, my life is getting better

That’s because you are my desire

I’ve been searching round the whole world

With no one to call my own

Then you came along like the dove

Sweet Holy Spirit, I believe you’re always there for me

DO YOU ALWAYS TRULY HAVE AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?

Ghost Mode


Familiarity breeds contempt

Be careful with whom you share your heart’s content

Every now and then, it pays to do a good measure of evaluation

This helps in understanding every situation

It’s not acceptable to keep being a flop

Excellence leads to the position at the top

That can’t happen, however, if you still have the crowd mentality 

Be the standout with your own remarkable originality

You just have to keep improving

The best inventions in every generation were created by the inventors who keep believing that the best is worth proving

Have the right attitude, gear up and stay away from every bad influence

Live up to your true essence

Excellence is the name of the road

As you choose it, the folks not heading in the same direction will drift away because you’ve been truly ghost mode

DO YOU BELIEVE IN TRULY GOING GHOST MODE?

I'll Do Anything


People try to figure out 

Anytime things aren’t working out

It's like a relationship appearing like a wrecked ship

There's so much for the world now

Still, they try to know how

It's like a couple enduring the sight of a black sheep

This can be frustrating and depressing

No matter what's the case

You will always be my ace

To love night and day

I’ll do anything to get the love I need

Nothing can prevent me, you’re the one that I need

I’ll do anything to get the love I need

Nothing can prevent me, you’re the one that I need

CAN YOU GO ALL OUT FOR THE ONE YOU LOVE?

Best Wishes


They say if wishes were horses beggars would ride

Since we’re more than beggars and conquerors, let’s positively change the tide

Let there be justice in the world

That will indeed lead to the true presence of peace in every part of our world

Let’s wish an end will come to terrorism

Credibility should equally replace nepotism

Poverty should give room for prosperity

Hypocrisy can no longer be mistaken for sincerity

Hatred should be done away with as we always welcome the true love and friendship

That will eventually make life easier and blow away hardship

Making these laudable things happen makes us, like Santa Claus, to always enjoy the seasoned ride

As we retrace our steps from the times past, allow me to wish you, in the old fashioned style, the happy holidays throughout Yuletide

WHAT ARE YOUR BEST WISHES FOR THE WORLD?

Heavenly Love

Caring for someone in need can be very huge

Think about this before it happens to you

This leads to the story of Mr Hugh

Who loves his wife very dearly

Even at the time she’s dying 

Then made the miracle come his way

So simple seems what’s done by Mr Hugh

Any Tom, Dick or Harry can do it too

But here’s the tip I give to you

If you love someone very dearly

Even at the time they’re dying

Make the miracle come your way as you pray

What I feel inside of me is this

You are the One I think of in spite of what

I tend to see in everything

So, love me, help me, save me and don’t make me lose my baby

Heavenly, Heavenly, Heavenly love!

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE ONE TRUE MOST HIGH GOD STILL MAKES MIRACLES HAPPEN, EVEN FOR THOSE WHO ARE TRULY IN LOVE?

Beyond


Sinbad the sailor, in his pursuits, sailed many seas 

Unlike Harry Potter and his wand, Percy Jackson revived lives with the Golden Fleece

Achilles had a weakness which led to his fall by his heels

Jesus Christ, to our relief, truly saves and heals

Odysseus travelled from one realm to another via his adventures

Alexander the great tried to rule the world beyond conventional measures

The ancient Romans thought their Caesars ruled like no other

The ancient Greeks believed Zeus was responsible for putting the universe in order

Events leading to his exploits claimed Krishna came into existence via an unusual birth

Buddha, according to his followers, changed the way people live on earth

To the ancient Egyptians, their Pharaohs were gods and kings

Beyond all these gods, legends, myths and fictional characters still remains the real connection to the true God and King of kings

For the purpose of clarity, the fourth line of this poem reveals who He is

DID YOU SEE THAT COMING?

Learn To Love You

In my walk, I have been up and low

Anything tends to go

When you came on, l knew we are going to have a flow

Like l have never seen before

You are everything l want and much more

Say yes and stay forever more

Now, l am up with no single low

Anything just don’t go

When you came on, l knew we are going to have a flow

Like I have never seen before

You are everything l want and much more

Keep saying yes and stay forevermore

I want to learn to love you

In all you do, l will be there

Give me the chance to love you

Then you will know that I care

HAVE YOU SAID SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TO YOUR LOVED ONE TODAY?

The Lovely Melody In Your Heart

Flowing in your heart should be the lovely melody

You’re somebody and not a nobody

When you’re organised and have the good heart, your events happen accordingly

The best of things will also come accordingly

You even receive the commensurate rewards speedily

Then, you’ll truly feel the showers of blessings pouring heavily

And the best of inspirations appear willingly

Being moody should no longer be accepted even slightly

It’s in your best interest to choose to be lively

Let every form of frustration, defeat and poor result become history

In the process, you’ll discover it also pays to be merry

Now, being truly wise, brilliant, intelligent, honest, humble, brave, disciplined, healthy, resourceful, productive, prosperous, cheerful, grateful, successful, and powerful should always appeal to you greatly

DO YOU HAVE THE LOVELY MELODY FLOWING IN YOUR HEART?

I Will Love You

This is a story that can come your way any day

Feel this, it’s about Dave and his girlfriend he calls May

In the time of trouble, he decided to send her away

To that, very important was the thing she then had to say

This is a story that can come your way any day

Feel this, it’s about you and the one whom you call dear

In the time of trouble, they will be with you anyway

At such times, listen to the things they will have to say

Again, anytime, anyhow, anyway, any place and any day

This is what you will hear them say

I will love you all the way

In all you’re going through, I will stay

It’s not you or my fate

To leave you, now, in this way

We are soulmates

ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WORK?

Let's Celebrate

It’s the remarkable time to truly celebrate

We are alive and not late

There’s so much love in this world that there should be no time for us to hate

It’s indeed a new beginning of greatness as indicated by the spiritual meaning of number eight

That’s the remarkable thing to which I do relate

I’m not a victim of circumstance since knowing that teaming up with God determines my true fate

Let’s keep away from those who enjoy pulling others down since our aim is to elevate

Seeking and finding the fact and truth about every situation helps you not to just insinuate

Every moment is important, that’s why your life is something you can’t afford to waste

Every lovely, laudable and remarkable thing is what we should often create

The best of ways is what the right attitude will always help you to locate

Let’s walk on this path of greatness because it’s really worthwhile and feels great

DO YOU APPRECIATE AND CELEBRATE LIFE?
