SHE'S NOT A GOLD DIGGER

September 11, 2015 Jaybee 4 Comments


Yes… yes, yes. It a very well-known fact that there are a lot of gold, diamond, silver, even bronze diggers out there, in here, everywhere; girls nowadays would ridiculously dig anything ‘dig-able’ and you really don’t want to imagine the kind of tools they dig with. Miners have got nothing on them.

Gone were the days when they dug with digger and shovel. Nope!... technology has made the tools mechanized so they can literally dig you from far, middle or close range.
A bro once updated his BBM personal message and I quote:

“Whenever she uses that sad smiley as pm, brothers better not ask what’s wrong cos next thing, you fit dey open GTB app for your phone.” Can we call that ‘smiley-digging’?

Now to the main koko of the post, please regardless of your experience(s) with the female folk, they are not all gold diggers (abi your mum gold dug your popsy?). That girl you’re casting one kind side eye on may not even be a gold digger.
These points doesn’t qualify your spouse as a GD. Understood?

> She asks how much your salary is: Believe me, not every lady asks this with a mischievous intention. Some only ask in a bid to help you become a better financial manager. Depending on how long you’ve been together, she probably have seen how you manage your cash and knows she can either help you handle it better or give you good management ideas. It’s a sign she sees a future with you.

> She asks you to buy this or that: That’s the way most ladies see their men, especially ladies who haven’t been independent since a young age. These ones tend to see a daddy figure in their men. Yes, she might have a million naira in her account and she’s still asking for 30k for shopping or something. She only wants it to be a “He-bought-it-for-me” item. Not necessarily GD.

> She asks you to settle her bills: Most times, it’s her internet sub. It might be something bigger like her rent or so. She only wants to enjoy your financial strength and capabilities. Not necessarily gold digging you but if she asks you consecutively, errr… I don’t know about that one sha. But settling your spouse’s bills ‘at times’ isn’t necessarily a GD antic. If you’ve got the capability for it; why not?

> She asks for a material possession: “Borrow me your laptop” “Can I borrow your iPad?” They never use the word “Give”. Once they start ‘borrowing’ it, they want to have it. It’s not necessarily GD if she gets some things for herself and you too – once in a while and not overly dependent or borrowing but if she has never gotten you anything and all she hasn’t borrowed are the keys to your car and apartment, my brother, keep those well.

> She asks for your bank details: This one is very technical. I would strongly disagree with sharing bank details (banking app passwords, ATM pins, Security questions, etc) with someone you’re courting/dating – my own view. You see, when you get married, even if she wants the finger print, it’s all hers. But believe me, situations may occur and she asks, doesn’t mean she’s a GD. You must be very meticulous and know the kind of person you’re dealing with. Is she somebody you can disclose info like that to, or you’ll just find an excuse till you can probably handle the situation from your end. Your relationship; Your decision.


Let’s stop at that five for now and a word for the brothers is: Don’t let past experiences put you in a corner where your spouse will keep feeling offended any time financial issues rise between you two.


Disclaimer: Those five points are sincerely relative and the author has not said they should be ignored as gold digging red flags. Instead, a high level of meticulousness, ability to study who you claim to be in a relationship with and accurately sharp use of your common sense is required in following the content or points above.

Thank you.

THE PLAYER AND THE CELE GIRL (2)

August 15, 2015 Jaybee 1 Comments

The Player and The Cele Girl (cont'd)

Is it the stress?... Is it the rush?... Should they take it slow and get to have a conversation first?... Is his mind not there?... What’s wrong with him?... Why won’t John Thomas rise up?

Although still on top of Debby, Tunde was experiencing the strangest, most bewildering moment of his entire life. Had he suddenly gone impotent? Or which active guy goes numb at the sight of a sumptuous naked woman?... Let alone lying on top of one.
Fear was steadily creeping in though he was still humping and grinding, he was hoping he was satisfying the girl enough for her not to notice his numbness.

“First time meeting for heaven’s sake!” he almost thought out loud.

Just as he was about telling Debby to hold on, his phone rang.

“I thought I told you to switch off your phone.”

“I switched it off… How come it’s ringing?”

“Yeah right. Go and pick your call.”

Right about that time, an expression of fear and frustration was clearly written all over Tunde’s face and with a sigh, he pressed the green button on his phone, to receive the most frightening call he had ever received in his entire life.

"Hello?"

“Hello baby”

“Hey! How are you?”

“I’m fine. Are you in Benin now?”

“Yeah, it was a stressful journey though.”

“I see… (Laugh)… Sorry dear.”

“Thanks. What’s funny?”

“Nothing. Don’t mind me.”

“Tell me. I insist to know” Tunde had a straight voice now.

“Ok, just wondering how come you’re in a hotel in Lag with a nice chick. Instead of in Benin with your cousin.”

The sweat that erupted from Tunde’s inside sent goose pimples all over his body. He didn’t discuss his movement with anyone. Even Debby was phone conversations during night calls in his hostel.

“I’m not in…”

“Oh! Save it pls. And why exactly are you sweating in that cool AC?... Is it because of what I said or the inactivity of your manhood?”

At this point, Tunde felt like vanishing into thin air or just opening his eyes to realize he had been dreaming but it didn’t get past that level – Wishes.

“You are not talking?... Mr. Player. See let me tell you something. You have been doing it for different girls abi? But I will show you my true colour. You think all girls are the same yeah? I will be the last girl you’ll ever cheat on. Thank your stars I changed my mind on locking your crooked thing inside her stinking public hole. Debby or what’s that her name… That useless girl. I don’t blame her sha. Let me just leave her. Bros, FYI your this thing can’t work. Let me just tell you; in fact, it will never work again. It has even tried sef. Hasn’t it? (Laugh). Player of life. Mtcheww! Why am I even wasting my credit sef? He-Goat! (Line cuts)”

For all Tunde knew, he didn’t put the phone on speaker. How the phone had gotten on speaker, he didn’t know and he didn’t care. This was a matter of life and death and whatever happened to Debby was none of his business as he scrambled for his bag. To his surprise, everything he had brought into the room was gone. Vanished!

This was getting serious. He made his way to the reception, in his birthday suit, begged for a shirt and pants and between fifteen minutes, he was on a night bus, back to school. Throughout what was the longest, most terrifying journey of his life, his hands were in the pockets of his pants, massaging his device but getting it to respond had suddenly become rocket science. It was so numb, it was only through touching it that he knew it was still attached to his body; otherwise, it was like nothing was between his thighs. Halfway through the journey was when it occurred to him that Sarah was a conk Celestial girl. The white garments, no shoes church. He had heard that these people (and their candles) were not to be messed with but he had discarded that info with a wave of his left hand.
People had asked him what he was doing with a cele girl and on one occasion, his response had been “Even if she’s a witch, I would ‘screw’ (not exactly the word used) away her witchcraft.”

Tunde got back to school around 11:45pm and went straight to the university chaplain’s office, who he was told was in his prayer room. Every attempt by the chaplain’s P.A to either know what exactly the matter of life and death was or to make him come back the next morning proved abortive. He was sweating, both palms on his head and was mumbling inaudibly. At last, around quarter past midnight, the clergy asked to see him in the prayer room and hardly had he entered that he burst into tears as he began to narrate the story of his life to the one person he was certain could pull him out of this life threatening mess.

THE PLAYER AND THE CELE GIRL

August 14, 2015 Jaybee 0 Comments

This is a true story, funny but true. Names have been changed to protect the identities of characters, so apologies if there is still any relativity to any reader. It's purely coincidental.

The Player vs. The Cele Girl.

In the prayer room.

"So why did you leave your first girlfriend?"

"She was too possessive sir."

"Why did you leave the second?"

"She flirts with guys a lot. All her friends are guys."

"And the third?"

"She accuses me of cheating every time sir."

"The fourth?"

"I never said we're no more together. (Sob) In fact sir, please that's exactly why I'm here."

Tunde was a final year student in one of Nigeria's prestigious private universities and was on his fourth babe in the school. Changing the girls was just coincidental to his level but it thrilled him sometimes when he thought of it. At least that's what he says.
Talk about the flirtatious expert and the sleek player, Tunde never really cared what the ladies, especially the victims thought of him and like a magnet, even when a new prey is warned about him, she still goes ahead to date him... But the story was about to change.

Sarah was Tunde's present girlfriend and they had been dating for four months. The very gentle, slim, chocolate skinned lady couldn't hurt a fly... Judging from appearance. She was the ideal girl, wasn't possessive, didn't unnecessarily accuse her boyfriend of cheating even when his slip ups were really glaring, she was understanding and ready to support financially or in any way she could. Surprisingly also, Tunde was her third bf. "Unfortunate for the good girl" one would think.

“I’m not cheating on you! Ease up with your insecurities abeg!.” Tunde would bark at her whenever she brought up the topic about his lack of commitment and his inability to remain faithful. Most times, it was her who ended up apologizing and as expected, it made our guy feel cool… like a local champion.

Being faithful in a relationship is tough but nothing compared to being a player – Jaybee.

Tunde decided to visit one of his side chicks over one weekend around April last year with the story of going to check on his cousin in another private school in Benin. He would be gone for the weekend.
“Weekend looks like one month” Sarah, who couldn’t see him off to the park cos she was a bit ill, had told him on the phone.
“See you, I’ll be back before you finish gisting with your friends joor.”

Goodbyes were said and off the player went to his true destination – Lagos. It was indeed the first meeting between him and the side-chick who knew he had a girlfriend but didn’t care. They’d met on twitter, familiarized, exchanged pictures, some of which Sarah herself had deleted. Hotel arrangements had been made for the weekend and Tunde had stuffed his backpack with all sorts like a soldier going to war.

------- A couple of hours later --------

Tunde checked out the room, let out an evil smile (like hell yeah! Let’s do this) and arranged a few stuff in the wardrobe. Just as he was about stepping into the bathroom a knock sounded on the door.

“Come on in” He said, knowing for sure who it was.

Debby opened the door with a smile on her face, in a second her handbag was on the floor as she ran into Tunde’s open arms screaming “eeeehhhhhhh!”

Before one could say “Jack Robinson”, they had started making out. Kissing, caressing, undressing, moaning and the likes were going on. Tunde was lying on Debby who was now in just her pant and bra, grinding up and down against her, torso to torso. Moans were the conversation of the moment but suddenly, Tunde jerked up like a soldier ant had bitten his groin.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing… Seems I’m stressed from the journey. Gotta take a shower.”

Tunde made his way into the bathroom with a very strange expression on his face. While he was still inside the shower, he heard his phone ring.

“Your madam is calling you.”

“Leave it. I'll call her back.”

A few seconds later, Tunde came out of the bathroom naked. One of the strategies he uses to instill a higher level of confidence in his catch; especially the shy ones. Debby shuddered a little at the unexpected sight.
Tunde went to where Debby lay in her briefs, and sat on her laps and was about to start making out again.

“No… No…. No” Debby managed to mutter.

“What?... What is it?”

“Switch off your phone. I don’t want her disturbance”

With a smile on his face, Tunde reached out for the phone, switched it off and continued where he left off.
Temperature had risen, make out was in high tempo and both parties were moaning. One way or the other with the creativity of Tunde, they were both stark naked. He was determined to mark Debby on his register, right there and then, even if they had the whole weekend to themselves… but something was wrong.

To be continued.

HUMAN VS MOBILE

August 11, 2015 Jaybee 0 Comments

FROM A HUMAN TO A MOBILE DEVICE.

The first signs of life on our planet, our ancient family tree dates back to millions of years ago. Around six to seven million years ago, according to NHM. Right there and then, we claimed our rightful position on the creation food chain (if there's any food involved). Meaning, we almost immediately evolved from being creations to creators ourselves.
From the creation of fire to keep ourselves warm at night, to winding of tree trunks together to cross over a large river, carving out bows and arrows, making tents, making traps to kill animals and sowing animal skins to cover our nakedness and so on.

Then came the ages. The Stone Age, The Industrial Age, The Jet age, The Computer Age, Information age, and that's putting it in a shoved summary.

At the planet's bragging conference, bragging about the achievements of the present age, one would see us humans flexing our muscles as "Creators" ourselves, while showcasing our I.T discoveries, our computers, our holograms, our robots, our e-conferences, our digitalized spaces and our Internet. After all, we... Oh, what kind of 21st Century human being could I be, forgetting to mention "Our Smart Phones"... Yes! Our "Smart" Phones. The creation and evolution of these ones in particular have been so rapid, one would think some divine entity (for those who believe in the existence of one) was waving a wand of approval on the Technology behind it. Now, if you're still reading, kindly read carefully from here on.

Like always, I'm surfing on the waves of being misunderstood, about to sound bizarre and before some religious chauvinist would begin repainting me in some grotesque light or worse still, charge at me in some enraged fashion, Spear in hand and blazing eyes, I only (forcefully) need a few people reading this to join me from the vintage point from which I'm thinking from.

The first Android platform, a platform initially designed for digital cameras was dated back to 2002/03 and after a slow and “snaily” impact in the tech market, HTC and Google came to the rescue and It was switched to mobile devices (HTC) and the rest is history. Around a decade ago, the word Android was a mere buzzword but today, it’s a powerful force. Designers said “It is designed to adequately meet the user’s needs and satisfy their preference”. Well guys, it hasn’t fallen far short of that. From over one million apps to choose from, to rooting, the platform has generally become the playground for tech geeks and tweak freaks.

Rooting for tech sissies is the act of gaining access to the manufacturer’s default files. This is not just any process but as usual, tech advancements are making the “dare-manufacturer” act of rooting your device something you can do from the comfort of your couch. Before I leave you in a state of confusion, when you get a sixteen gigabyte device, pre-installed apps, cache files, even boot files and co, takes up around four of the sixteen and that’s why what you meet isn’t sixteen but twelve or eleven gigabyte. Got it?
Dissatisfaction with limitations, curiosity of what’s beyond boundaries and the knack for total control definitely summed up to produce Rooting or Jail Breaking (could be rightfully/wrongfully used interchangeably).

The Human brain: The most complex, most confusing object ever known to the human race. Advanced studies on the functions and neurological communications in the brain dates back to the early 70’s and its only relieving to say no human can come up with a total explanation of how this device works… except of course whoever put it there.
From when you were born as a bouncing baby, actions like breathing, crying, sleeping, peeing and later on as you get older, lying, covering yourself, knowing some sensations come from your downstairs and so on are some of those you need nobody to teach you how to go about doing them. I refer to these ones as pre-installed apps. Now, without trying to drag you back to the brain’s ten percent myth, I won’t put my tongue in my cheek to say that we either aren’t using the totality of our brains or if we’re using it as Dr. Barry Gordon claims, then we definitely don’t know how most of it works.

Sometimes, just sometimes one would feel this device we carry all around upstairs is some sort of means of the ‘creator’ to bully us and/or send us on a fool’s errand. An errand some neurosurgeons has embarked on and came back, shoulders hanging with tail between their legs. Knowing humans as the curios species and the ever inquisitive ones, one would laugh at the absurd feeling that one thing the mobile device has over humans is the ability of total access. Even the iPhone’s iOS has not been left out from being jailbroken but this mysterious funny looking membrane in your head, weighing just about three pounds and managing just two percent of your total body weight can’t be rooted? Why? Are we yet to hit the technological eureka?

Apologies for making reference to movies like “Limitless” and the box office breaker “Lucy” claiming we make use of just a minute part of our brains. Of course that’s just what they are ‘Movies’ but at least their cock-and-bull stories were well cooked and made a spectacle for our eyes. We are neither scientists nor neurosurgeons so we aren’t to blame when stuffs like that get to us. The main question for the explanation of this confusion should be directed to the ‘creator’.

If we’re indeed using all we’re given, why then do we understand so little about this ‘unrootable’ device?

If we’re indeed using ten percent of what we’re given, what are supposed to do with what’s left?

Cheers to those who push day in, night out to discover the non-understandable wiring and functioning technique of our brains. We, lame men would all be waiting to receive you guys with open arms when you finally come up with a new gist. Meanwhile, philosophical tech savvy geeks would continue to cast a side eye of envy at our rooted android and jailbroken iOS creations, wishing we could just get ourselves done and over with – if that ever came out right.

“Don’t lie, you wish you had that drug in limitless and the blue cocktail in Lucy.”

To confirm your fears, thanks to the creator or manufacturer of the hundred billion neurological sophisticated gadgets, we might never know what it would be like to have total access to the restricted, yet to be understood areas of “The Membrane Of Neurons."

CHANGE OF COURSE, 2 WEEKS TO FINAL EXAMS

July 02, 2015 Jaybee 1 Comments

This isn't a fictitious article people. It's the true life account of a Nigerian young man who dumped a course for another, two weeks to his final exams. Strange right? Read the full details below.

What could make a student abandon Medicine for Mass Communication, having spent 10 years trying hard at the former? This is the big question our intern, Godwin Simon attempted to answer, when he went after Ismaila Mansur Akolade, a 100 level Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos now in his 10th year as an undergraduate.

ISMAILA Mansur Akolade as a 100 level student of Mass Communication at the University of Lagos is by all means expected to be a fresher and a green horn in the university affairs, but his mature outlook, carriage and composure suggest clearly that he is he is none of the sort. As if to confirm this writer’s suspicion, a reliable source, who is close to Ismaila disclosed he had indeed spent a whopping ten years at the University of Ilorin, studying Medicine before quitting barely two weeks to the commencement of his final qualification examination. 

His days at the University of Ilorin, the source said was characterised by serial failure, which inevitably put him at the bottom of the class, hence his decision to quit at the eleventh hour. Curiously, Ismaila is not sitting at the bottom nor struggling in his new endeavour as he currently sit in the first class category with a Grade Point Average of 4.71

In an exclusive interview with our reporter, Ismaila revealed that his action was triggered by his passion for the journalism profession, which he said is parallel to the wish of his father for him. He noted that his dream was never to become a doctor, but was forced into an unholy matrimony with the profession by his father who sees the medical profession as prestigious and thus wants ‘the best’ for his son.“Principally, my action was due to the fact that I never wanted to be a doctor.

I was initially in medical school because I had to follow my father’s bidding. He wanted me to become a doctor but when I discovered after 10 years that it was not going to work and that my professional life was going to be nastier and more horrible, I took the decision to leave and follow my dreams. I refused to be held down by the medical certificate because I reasoned that if I should write the final examination, it might make me drift away from my dream of studying Mass Communication.” He said. He recalled his days at the University of Ilorin Medical School, which he described as ‘horrible’ and ‘nasty,’ noting that he was a very terrible student and had a very negative reputation. He said, “Perhaps, I was the most unserious medical student UNILORIN has ever come across. I spent 10 years in the medical school, four of which was due to failure. I repeated class in 200, 300, 500, and 600 levels respectively. 

After the whole saga, especially when I came to study Mass Communication, I discovered that my failure was not due to an inability or mental incapacity to handle medicine; it was because I was just never interested in it.” He revealed that the reason for his passion for the journalism profession was his talent and propensity which he believes would thrive and gain relevance only if allowed to be expressed as a journalist. His words: “There is this Law-Mass Communication dichotomy.

People thought I was leaving medicine for an equally ‘prestigious’ course like Law. You know the way society view it especially in Nigeria: If my son is not a doctor, he should be a lawyer, engineer or accountant. Having analysed both law and medicine, I discovered common characteristics in them. First of all are the rules. I won’t call myself a lawless person, but I am someone who likes to be free. I don’t like dress codes, neither do I fancy uniforms.

When I was in the medical school, there was a rule that you must be in a particular shirt at a particular time and other dress codes. I don’t like conventions.”“I am not an undisciplined person, but I hate being caged by unnecessary shackles of profession. This sharply differs from my current course. Mass Communication is everything. Look at the issue of beats; if you are an aviation reporter, you look more like a pilot when you start talking. In Mass Communication, you are a complete human being. You can be here and there. I love the professional plurality and intellectual freedom obtainable in it. I felt that this course is more of me than law.”He said his father was embittered by his decision to quit medicine after all his investment into the profession. He however said he was encouraged to embark on his mission after seeing the movie titled, ‘Three Idiots,’ which triggered the instinct of resoluteness in him and taught him that life is predominantly about risk taking. According to him, “I will not want to feel the way my father felt when I left. If I put myself into his shoes, I won’t want a son to do to me what I did to my father. However, I got the inspiration from the movie to dare and to take a seemingly difficult action, more especially because life is risk taking and not about the present alone. The lessons from that movie contributed 40 per cent to my final decision. I believe strongly that if I graduate from UNILAG, become a world class journalist and achieve greatness in the profession; my father will be one of those who will celebrate with me.” Ismaila admitted that it was not easy for him to start afresh and adapt since he had spent most of his years studying science-based subjects in secondary school. Sitting down to deal with arts-based subjects, he said, was difficult but the determination to succeed made him to withstand the avoidable failure that stared him in the face.“I was driven by passion. I went to settle with all relevant books. I did extensive reading and I also had a friend who taught me mathematics. When the result came out, it was excellent. I actually had distinction in all my papers.” He said. He recognised the contributions of his lecturers in Mass Communication department, to his quick adaptation to life on campus, saying that their words of encouragements, have helped him to quickly overcome his medical school trauma, and helped him to re-orientate towards excellence. “These lecturers of mine are beyond just lecturers for me. They are my advisers, comforters and encouragers. Those that heard my story assured me that I can still bounce back and be great in life. With this, I was able to re-think and desire to be studious. 

Thank God the results are reflecting my efforts. Ismaila said the 10-year experience has redefined him and has taught him a lot of lessons, which he wishes to use to educate the younger ones to forestall falling victim of such unpalatable experience. He appealed to parents to always consider the interest and ability of their children rather than imposing professions on them. In his words, “Parents should allow their children to express themselves. That parents are privileged to give birth to children does not give them absolute control over their destinies. Parents can only guide their children. Children should be allowed to have more input on how they would live their lives. Parents should not play God with the future of their children. Your child doesn’t know how to write or speak English very well but he is very exceptional in Mathematics and you insist he should go and study law! He has a special ability in writing poems and mind-bogging articles but poor in calculations, yet you said he must be an engineer! Parents should stop acting against the natural talents and propensities of their children.”He also challenged young ones to hold their destinies in their hands to avoid being swayed unnecessarily. “If you don’t make a decision for yourself, someone will make it for you. Don’t abandon your future in the hands of anybody. Do your own research and know the movers and shakers in your profession of interest, so as to inspire you the more. Young ones should not leave everything in the hands of their parents. It is noteworthy that he who pays the piper dictates the tune, especially when the piper has not decided the exact tune to play.

What are your thoughts on this one? Has he done the right thing or not?

WHY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST 2.2 & 3RD CLASS GRADS?

May 21, 2015 Jaybee 0 Comments


This is based on personal opinion only. In the course of my young & growing career, I have interacted with many graduates and employees. I have met extremely good, hardworking and smart persons who graduated with 2.2 or 3rd class. However, many are not even given the chance to showcase their ability as they are often not considered in many recruitment opportunities.
However I must say, I will never discriminate against anyone on the basis of graduating with a 2.2 if or when I own my company. Here are the reasons why 2.2 (and lower grade) grads can perform equally or even better than others with higher grade:

WATCHING PORNOGRAPHY?!

Hello everyone, I've read a few articles these past week about different sex related issues and people's opinions and point of views on these issues and I must say my own contribution and not conclusion is that there are some very sensitive issues that can never be unified to a group of people because they have always been relative, they are still relative and will forever be relative- This means that people will always have different preference and choices when it comes to sexually related issues.

Now, as short as this post will be, I just want to gather the different opinions of people on this particular scenario:

Watching pornography is very bad, whether you’re single or married cos it’s spiritually and emotionally unedifying. That has been and will always be my viewpoint on pornography.
Now, assume you and your spouse both agree to make a recording of yourselves in the act of love making and the next morning you both sit down to enjoy it over breakfast once and delete the media file to prevent any unwanted story about your privacy.

Is that the same as watching pornography and is that religiously and morally acceptable?

Can I be enlightened here?

NOW, WHAT'S NEXT?

Now, as a Corp Member who just passed out, after the excitement, the jumping and dancing, the snapping with the certificate like a police mugshot, the goodbye hugs, the emotions, the exchange of contact details, the group pictures and hanging out for the last time, a time of the day would come for reasonable ones to ask themselves the question: NOW, WHAT'S NEXT?

One of Britain's longest married couples have been wed over seven decades without a single row. 
Since marrying in 1941, Ernie and Renie Hills from Tiverton, Devon, have survived Hitler's Blitz, a bout of tropical thrombosis and a stint in an iron lung.
Not only that, but the husband and wife endured it all without arguing once.

YOUR UTTERANCE

The world was created by the spoken word of God. {Gen 1:3-31}
Jesus spoke to the turbulent storm while He was in the boat on earth. {Mark 4:37-40}Most of the miracles performed by Jesus in the bible were done by speaking. He spoke.
A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall be filled. Life and death are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat its fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:20-21).

OBSESSIVE SPOUSES

Ever dated someone who calls you a lot like hell just to “check” on you or who expects you to use 24 hours to chat with them or who even asks you “Are you sure the contact you saved with ‘Mom’ is really your mum?” Then you just might have started smiling and shaking your head now cos you’ve gotten the drift.

PARODY ACCOUNTS

January 22, 2015 Jaybee 0 Comments


Sometimes ago, I remember a social media feud that ensued between one of our quick-to-reply artiste and another and it continued for days until it was uncovered that the artiste this quick-to-reply artiste was quarrelling with wasn’t even him. It was a parody account and the guy wasn’t even a regular twitter user.
Imagine the embarrassment it must’ve caused for the quick-to-reply artiste and not even the innocent guy who didn’t know what was going on but my sincere question is why do people run parody accounts?... is there a kind of thrill it gives or something cos me, I don’t understand oh!.

Apologies can't be enough to any devoted fan of Mature Minds Talk site who would be reading from us for the first time this year. What can we say?... From the depth of depths, we're sorry.
And a lot of appreciation to those who kept checking on the site, a couple of people sent mails, some checked us out social media platforms and those who merely had us in mind, thanks to everyone.
