INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD.

I  watched a motivational speaker say on a Tv show that domesticating your boys doesn’t make them good husbands. I was quite surprised to hear this but after thinking about it I agree with her.

You can raise your boys to be the best cooks, clean, neat and courteous, yet they may not make good husbands or a good man generally.

Have you heard statements like “ he is a great father to the kids but not a good husband". Teaching our boys to know how to do chores and all is wonderful but we have to take it a step further by consciously teaching them how to treat people right especially their wives.

Core values such as loyalty, integrity, empathy, honesty, the fear of God and many more should be imbibed from an early stage.

Listening to the woman speak really opened my mind to a lot of parenting issues.






Some parents try their best but the child still does not turn out right.. This parenting thing eh is deeper than is known or explained... sometimes it can be so so frustrating.... At the end of the day, one can only pray that all the teachings were properly learnt oh......


To parents who are not present in their children's lives but expect them to turn out right, how una dey take sleep for night?

PINKYS CORNER

Some Women Eye Don See


There is this lady I met a few days ago at a mini bar where my friend and I went to see someone.


She was sitting all alone and bored then I asked the bar man to give her whatever she wants and she requested for Origin plastic. After some time, I moved closer to her and asked if she was waiting for someone because I noticed she was so dull and she looked so worried.


I managed to force her to open up then tears rolled down her eyes. what is wrong? please tell me.


She said she came all the way from Anambra state. She had someone she was dating who is from their town but he lives in Ibadan....

 She is also a caterer. She and the guy in question have been dating for 4years and they have gone for introduction. So the guy asked her to move to Ibadan so that, both of them can start living together as couple since he has done the first step of marriage.


The lady said, she came into ibadan around January and the guy took her to a school where she started working for a while but she never knew it was the guy's elder sister who owns the school.(She mentioned the name of the school).


She said that just a month ago, she got information that the guy had impregnated his ex and has decided to accept the pregnancy which they both had a little rift on and later settled it since he said he is not going to marry her but little did she know that both are about getting married ......  Not until she saw the invitation but the elder sister which she works with in that school didn't even inform her and not only that, she even attended the wedding she pretended not to know anything about.


Now, guy man came home to pack all his load on Saturday when she had gone out to source for another job because if she continues to work in that school, she would never be happy. She got home and only met the mattress, 3kg cylinder, 4pots,one kettle and the standing fan. All these was what guy man left for her and she didn't even know where guy man packed to.


She said, she is planning to go back to Anambra, so she wants to sell those above mentioned things for 18k to go back or look for work to get money and get a room apartment somewhere else in order to start a new life..


I was shocked and couldn't even listen to all these alone, had to tell my friend to come closer but mumu wey I call to come hear matter is now trying to take advantage on the lady but I did not allow him.


I advised her to go back to Anambra and start a new life but she said she is ashamed of going back to her base but I sincerely told her to go back than trying to look for ways here in Ibadan. They are wicked here, they will dobo e baaje and still not help you except God sends a helper.


hmmmmm..Men, why are we like this? who do us this thing sef? why will someone bring a lady all the way from another state and not even just a lady, someone you have done intro with because she showed me those pictures.

I fear who no fear una..I tell people, men are more wicked than women..Women has forgiving spirit than men.


I pitied the lady but there was nothing I could do, but we gave her 5k(my friend and I).





Sad story...Going back is not a good idea, the shame would be too much, let her stay there and try to find her feet....

TEEJAYS CORNER

Before he got married to his wife, he was warned and told never to marry from that family. The reason was that, the women in that family hardly get pregnant in their respective homes. Stubbornly, he went ahead and married her.


First and second pregnancy she suffered miscarriage. When the third pregnancy came, he remembered what he was told earlier and set out on a journey. He got to his village and met a traditional medicine man and explained why he had to visit all the way from Port Harcourt.


After some incantations and communication to the spirit, he was told the grandmother of his wife was responsible for the ordeal the women in that family were going through. He asked how? He was told his mother in-law was initiated long time ago and the agreement was the future of her grand children. Though she didn't know it will get to that point, as she was very young at the time during her initiation.


"What is the solution?" He asked. Some sacrifice were made in order to separate and destroy the spell placed on the children. He was told to go home but before the wife will deliver, the grandmother must pass away.


On the week she was to deliver her first child, there was a strong spiritual battle that almost claimed her life. The medicine man when called, told him not to worry that everything has been settled in the spiritual and that she was fighting her very last. A day before her delivery, the news came from the village that the grandmother had passed on.


The next day, she delivered her baby. The husband never told her all what was happening until the baby got to a year. It was during the baby's first birthday she was told about it all.


Today, they are blessed with four beautiful children. The other sisters gave birth as well. When their mother was approached over the discovery, she opened up and confessed how it all happened.


Traditionally, there are things we can solve if we can go back to the root and ask some pertinent questions of what is happening in our lives. Do you know why? Some things are ANCESTRAL.

 Yes you read me clearly.

 Everything doesn't end in church, prayers and fasting. I don't mean to undermine anyone's faith or religion here, but then, some of the things your pastors do are traditional but you won't understand it. How do you explain your pastor telling you to go to your place of work or village and get him sand for prayers, the same thing a traditionalist will tell you to do?


Do you know the potency the sand possess?


A strong traditionalist once said to me, "life begins from the sand and equally returns to it". So many things he said about the sand and why it's always used in some difficult situation but in order not to digress from my point of writing, it will be a discussion for another day.




Make no mistake about this. When I say tradition, I don't mean the occultic rituals people indulge upon this days in order to kill or harm others, rather I mean the sacred traditional practice devoid of evil inclination as it was from time immemorial.



I have seen Christians in some difficult life threatening issues told by their religious leaders to go home(village) and seek answers and solution to their problems. Some problems and sickness defy prayers and medical approach but when handled traditionally, the results are seen, felt and achieved.

WOW.........nice story Teejay but why did the old woman have to die and who killed her? The Native Doctor?
