@MARAJI AT COCA COLA NG

A couple of days back, Maraji appeared on coca cola launch party alongside Falz d bahd guy and many other celebrities. I can't really tell if this is her first big appearance but @Maraji has been a super important media personality on social media, especially on instagram where she can hit over 612 hits per video in 12 minutes. Her fashion sense though, something she should probably work.

The couple arrived just on time amidst cheers from the waiting crowd, the sound soon began to fade from Sally's ear; she was lost in her own thought and memories from her past were beginning to resurface. To her it was like a nightmare, only that she was awake and aware.
When she was 16, she had received a letter from Michael; a boy she was romantically involved with, which contained a message so strong that for a long time it had a positive impact in her, but now she feels she had lost the message. Her thoughts however continued to dig deeper.
Michael was one of the most intelligent and lovable people in the class, Sally on the other hand was a perfect opposite; she was 'everyone's girl' to be precise, but somehow from the moment she and mike(for short) first saw each other, which was about a week after Sally was transferred to the new school, there was something between them that connected. Michael had become so attached to her; and thinking about it now, she felt it was because of his nerdy boring life compared to her open wild life. Those thoughts were so mediocre now; by this she meant the way she saw life then.
Although Sally had been very much involved in sexual activities, Mike had little experience. They soon got sexually involved. Over time, their relationship became something that was thrown in the open, and like in every society, the elites did not approve. Being clever as it is; not academically, but in games such as this which were childish and depressing, she saw doom coming her way, but she was ready for it and she took it in all bravery; maybe because at that time, even while with Mike, she was still sexually involved with other boys and men from her past who satisfied her sexual desires- Needless to say, she believed; not to categorically abuse the word, that she was a nymphomaniac.
Sally however never stopped loving Mike, and always wished that she had kept him. The first and only letter that Mike wrote her was something that was an inspiration for her and it carried so powerful a message that it still scares her. She still wondered how he could have conceived such a message at that young age; maybe it was his brilliant nature, or experience, or God given wisdom.

DAY4

As a formality, everyone had arrived before the bride and groom; as they stood up waiting patiently, some of them with drinks in their hands waiting for the new couples' arrival in grand style. The Dj was already on the beat.
In the time before the couple arrived, although John and Sally stood next to each other, observing the many couples around, their thoughts were worlds apart, and the 'pinch' on their hearts was a precedent to their anticipated togetherness. In Johns mind, he had began to wonder on the issue of virginity, marriage and love and on the complexity of having to marry a girl who he knew little about; because in his opinion, there were too many secrets someone can hide from another person, just as he has this one on his mind; the sex factor.
The thought on John's  mind was '' how to justify that he was ''walking'' towards having sex with a girl so much younger than he was, who was not a virgin and who is wild. A list of possible things were running through his mind; he had never liked the idea of protected sex, so what if she had AIDS, or an infection; gonorrhea, syphilis, genital warts,hepatitis?,''HIV nor dey show for face O!!''. Everything was on the line; his entire future, but the ''ignore the fears'' part of his mind did not care about ethical value. He could not ascertain how many men she had been with, and he could bet that in her heart she was probably expecting that he, John, will be willing to enter a relationship with her and eventually marry her. He let out a gentle laugh and went on to bother his mind about other things, like the patients he had to see in 'tomorrows call'.

It has become very common in all Nigerian weddings to spray money as a show of social status and Felicia ; it has indeed become a ritual.

Like the majority, Mary's wedding was no different- spraying money is a life long tradition of the wealthy and affluent Nigerian, a way of showing they have arrived. It is almost a part of our culture.
With the wads of naira notes floating in the air and high life music playing in the background, the couple were on the road to a happy matrimony.
John sprayed for a few 'life long' minutes, having been able to convert about fifty thousand naira to new bundles of two hundred naira notes; although at a loss of five thousand naira, this however significantly increased the quantity of the initial fifty thousand naira and also the duration of spray. Its a lot of mathematics, but Nigerians have a way of making money from everything. 

By the time John was done Sally was by his side, and John offered her a ride to the after party.

In the car, they continued their discussion where they left off, with John finally bringing up the topic of sex, asking if she, Sally, had had sex.

''very likely, every interaction between a boy and a girl on a social platform has a way of playing towards sex''

Her answer which was that she hadn't had sex surprised John; considering that he saw her as a 'wild girl', but she went on to say ''I was raped when I was younger by a friend'; to John, her statement was outright and blatantly pity eliciting, while being contradicting. John had a mentality; maybe because he still cannot grasp the complications of living as a woman, that a woman cannot claim to be raped except when rape drugs or violence was used with an outright intent to rape, he also felt that the crime of rape was defined exclusively by how the woman feels about a sexual encounter whether violent or not; he briefly recalled in his mind an experience from medical school, but that experience has to wait.

DAY2

At the reception, Sally was on the lookout for John, wondering where he was; all the time, soon her thoughts of him were beginning to ‘fade’, but he showed up, and in new clothes too; john had never been a fan of flamboyant dressing, he had always loved to be in simple comfortable clothes and over time his love for simplicity has created for him a comfortable 'niche'. He was in a blue Jean, a ‘carton’ colored polo and blue sneakers; that’s as comfortable as anyone can get, he soon found himself beside sally, who had little to do with her time and needed someone to talk.

John started a conversation, and at this point he had already lost interest in the proceeding of the wedding, He heard something about the introduction of guests, but that was about it.

 In their ‘chasing’ chatter they were soon lost in the sweet seduction of each other’s sweet side

In their ‘chasing’ chatter they were soon lost in the sweet seduction of each other’s sweet side; it was matter of 'seconds' before they soon exchanged numbers and made plans for how they will spend time together at the after ‘night’ party.

Sally had become used to a world of disappointment; in her opinion, men had a sexually driven misplaced priority. At her young age she had been in relationships with several men, she had rich backgrounds, 'nor was she being molested'; but of course, growing up within the commercial city of Warri (in delta state) was as much exposure as anyone will need. She had gained much experience in the rather crazy 'aristocratic' setting of a 'bestial society' where men are hunters and young girls the prey- to such men each score was a 'sigma bond'.

DAY 1

In the time between meeting Sally and the ‘erotics’ of the night that followed, anyone would have believed that “living was at its peak of seduction, and that death was inevitable”.

On a beautiful Saturday morning, John had prepared for the best of days; being a graduate of Medicine and an acknowledged distinction student, He was prepared for a world of distress and competition, complete with Nigeria's economic recession or meltdown, and his focus was to beat the world and make it a better place; but one thing was certain, John was not ready for a world of women.

Sally is beautiful, young and elegant, the kind of girl you’ll be afraid to approach on a normal day because you know in your heart, from her outward appearance and flamboyant lifestyle that she was not the kind of woman that could be a mother to your children; at least from the African perspective that's what you'd assume. But move over, because in this game that we play, we try to win even with wolves in sheep clothing.

It was Mary and Peter’s marriage and John was ready for that wonderful celebration. Mary had been his childhood crush and sweetheart and although he ‘didn’t crush any candy,’ he had been devoted to the friendship for so long. When he got an invitation via mail to attend the wedding, he felt rather pleased that she still thought of him. As a doctor and having distinguished himself, he was going to turn up for the wedding in grand style.

Moving about in the streets of Warri (a city in Southern Nigeria) can be a tiring task, except maybe you’re in a comfortable dress, an AC car and you can afford to be in those; Luckily, John could afford both. John left not too early, considering that he has never been a big fan of an early turn up, although recently on his travel to the United States; he did realize that living by the African man time will be a great danger to him, his patients and his future if he followed that footstep.

He was however in time to hear the wedding vows, having successfully avoided the ‘bore’ of the pre-marital sermon which took a large part of the time. His entrance did not go unnoticed. He was in his brand new suite, ‘not a tuxedo as you can imagine; which he could not afford, but for a new school graduate, it was pretty expensive stuff and showed the respect of his profession’. His shoes were a pair of new Gucci which he just purchased, a male version of what you’d find on female fashion blogger +metro-gypsies blog. They were nice and fitting; a showing royalty.

THE ENCOUNTER: THE STREET LIFE

For some time, my opinion about life on the streets; as we Nigerians call it, has been very diverse but now I think I'm cleared and I see clearly.
Life is not easy for so many, although for some of us who see privilege we forget to acknowledge the beauty in out solitude and peace of mind that we find in our ability to be loved and cared for.
Recently I met someone who I'll call 'a friend' and to many this is quite dangerous and irresponsible but to say the least, she's a prostitute.
She happens to also be a student , educated and in the sciences and pretty close to my course, a medical profession. But when we began speaking, I realised she's everything and more that many people are not. Ever seen a prostitute so charming in their approach to words or in the their simple and point approach to things? . Some may be in the game for selfish reason, but in her words. "Its how I survive".
I began to listen; wondering in my mind what do you mean as she continued speaking to me : I have no pride - especially about the things that I do, but this is how I survive , I sleep with people for money to get paid and that way I can take care of myself, pay my bills and walk in " that" class.

SHE THOUGHT FIBROID SURGERY WAS THE BEST AND LAST OPTION, BUT SHE WAS WRONG

Mrs. Chinasa a big business owner tells story of her fibroid pains and the recent surgery for the removal which she thought was her last option. She used this medium to advice ladies who are going through such pains.

“I choose to tell you my story today. Number one, I keep everything in my life under wraps because of the negativity out there. 90 percent of my life doesn’t make it to the Internet. I’ve been through a lot in my life but I’ll let you read all the truth in my book and watch on my reality show “Building Your Business”. A lot of people send me DMs and emails saying how perfect I am, how they want to be like me, how strong I am; Asking how I manage to run 20 businesses and take care of my 2 kids at the same time. I promised myself to always keep going to encourage the people I inspire.


This powerful strong woman you see is not perfect.

I have my pains and I cry too, especially when I’m misjudged. I have been betrayed and stabbed in the back severally by friends but I promised myself I was going to make a change for ladies who are determined to genuinely make it. This is why I put all my talent to use.

When I had My Son, Eric, I bled all through the pregnancy, not knowing I was even pregnant till about 5 months. 3 years after I had him, I was still having stomach pains and bleeding heavily through my periods. I went to my gynecologist, he said I had 3 small fibroids and a big size one. We agreed to take them out through laparoscopic surgery.

On the day of the surgery, I woke up thinking it was done. However, he said it was on my womb, that I could lose my womb if he tried to remove the fibriod. He said I should sign before they open me up and that it would have to be a major surgery. The gyneacologist also said that one of the fibroids was on my bladder which made me pee on myself any time I cough in public and it gave me terrible back and leg pains. He advised me to have another baby before the surgery.

Years after, I got pregnant with my daughter (Eunice) despite the consequences, my partner insisted I had the baby. I found out I was pregnant at 4 months like the first time cause I was having periods due to the fibroids. At 5 months, I was bedridden, I had a lot of pains from the pregnancy. I went to my gynecologist and he said I had something called “Red degeneration” where the fibroids suck the blood from the baby and doesn’t make it grow. That same day, I found out I had gestational diabetes. As a result of all these, I thought I was going to lose the baby and I was in non-stop pains till about 7 months when the pains stopped. During this period, I couldn’t walk, eat, bath myself not talk. Thanks to my partner and sister, they used to bath me. Later the baby started growing well and so were the 4 fibroids.
As a result of the gestational diabetes, my sugar levels were regularly monitored and my diet was changed.”

ABOUT LAST NIGHT: A DAILY MOTIVATION

There is a popular saying that ''one with God is majority'', yes these words are true and I've seen mountains rolled away when God is the helper.
About last night, I had a dream where I saw that the influence of things and people around me affects not only my physical attitude, but also the psychological, emotional and mental, in short, it affects my soul.
When my mind awoke from its subconscious, experiencing the reality that has over time been so clear to me, I began to realize how far I've gone from who I truly am. The mentality that people have about life leaves me rather shocked because to some, life is just a game, nothing serious ''a game of thrones'' but its more than that.
About last night, I let my mind wonder with the stars, asking myself how much greatness I can achieve, seeing that everyone around me is motivated to achieve outstanding success and seeing that opportunity lies in our resolve to keep fighting, aka, a word called commitment. I cannot begin to describe how many times I've tried and failed, but over time, I've realized that there is no need to fail if I follow the right course, do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done and with whom it needs to be done.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT: WHAT A LIFE

She looked at me, and then she looked down, exclaiming in a short sarcastic way "what a life!".
The scene had me standing, a little bit in shock, wondering in my heart, really?, what a life?.
About last night, I woke having experienced an almost wet dream, and I was with a beautiful sexy woman in my arms, then the though hit me, what a life?.
Women who I've met and some who have loved me are the ones who have fought hardest to see me fail. It gives them pleasure I've realized, but is that life?, we only have one, why chose to hurt someone you love just because they dont love you back, or if they hurt you?.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT: PENTECOSTAL POWER- the giving Spirit

So I watched this Video about Tyler Perry laying hands on bishop T.D Jakes and it got me thinking.
About last night when I began feeling like I'm human again having missed home for so long and seen my spiritual base undergo atrophy, I begin to feel the life that you get only when you're home, God bless Mummy,so I'm having fun time in the parlour, watching the champions league finale drama and how real madrid won, I went on youtube to see the latest videos, and guess what my search hit on Tyler perry and this amazing experience that is over two months Ago. The most amazing effect to me was not the laying of hands but the message that his words carried, ''WHAT GOD TOLD HIM''.
About last night, through my experience in life I've seen people who never believed in the power of giving and in the effect such powers have on their tomorrow. In tyler words;

ABOUT LAST NIGHT: MEETING MARTHA-CAN WE DATE?

So I woke up this morning to a message on my page, ''can we date?''
was it morning already?, oh it was last night, so my friend called to know how I was doing, and as usual we had fun talking to and 'stroking' each other. So she tells me about her busy day and the unending disturbance from guys who are asking her out, so I begin to advice her and tell her how beautiful she is and how a guy can be deceitful and how everything needs to be given time, so I go on and on and on and I feel grateful that I have a friend that I can speak to.

so it was like a dream meeting Martha and I never understood what role I had to play in the life of the woman who I just met.It felt like I was in a mist......

When I first met Martha three weeks ago, I had no idea that we'll ever speak to each other again, the setting was strange, it was a rainy Sunday evening and my day had generally been bad and my mood was terrible. I had people that I needed to negotiate with and my business was on the low. Over time I have learned to pray and God always answered; so when Martha came my way, I felt that God had sent an angel. We talked for a few minutes trying to replay moments in our minds when we came across each other and still maintaining an inner peace as though we were two people playing love.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT: MEETING DEBBY

My friend Pere Debby.
What really bothers me is not peoples opinion but what weighs on me, on my heart, on a scale of right or wrong. I am not perfect but as always, My life - a mirror;
So I seat in my room, wondering what people say about me, my heart burdened with pain and worry about what the right things are.
Is it for the right of a woman that we fight?, that we present as individuals without hope?, we fight among ourselves, hoping for a price, a trophy, an achievement.
Being brought up in the way of the gospel, and having tasted the rot of this 'scorpion' world, a world where only the feared can achieve the success, I choose the way that God leads, it is the only way.
The questions that come to my mind is what do I truly seek?; is it fame, is it bliss, is it money, educations, a good job, a good woman?, well I've realized it all balls down to the friends that I keep.
Let me say that I've almost fallen into a financial wreck because of the kind of friends that I kept, losing focus on a better tomorrow and becoming victim to jealous and 'problematic' human beings in a world where I should be king.

Eye infection resulting from Acanthameba Keratosis

Have you always check in with your doctor for normal routine checkup, of course I feel great, I’m not feeling sick and I eat well does not mean there aren’t any downs in our body system that need to be in check. It is very important to always do checkup. Some disease conditions do not give warning upon their arrival into our bodies such as heart failure, aneurysm (like aortic and abdominal) among others. Take for instance, acanthameba keratosis in which the cornea is affected and may result in permanent visual impairment. It is mostly gotten from water bodies which we depend on for survival.
