Beware of false praises.

I want to discuss something that is gradually becoming part of our culture and, somehow, we are normalising it. Have you noticed that when a woman is single, she often receives far less attention from men than when she is married? Once a woman gets married, even when it is obvious that she is pregnant,Continue reading “Beware of false praises.”

Who Will Cry When You Die?

The fall of a yellow leaf is a warning to the green ones. Truth is always in plain sight, yet many people remain unaware of it. Over time, we have seen and heard of people we know passing on to the next life. Somehow, the cause of their death often gives people a strange senseContinue reading “Who Will Cry When You Die?”

THE FAMILY VALUES WE MUST NOT LOSE

There is no person more dangerous than someone who expects to live a life they were unable to build for themselves. Such people expect others to meet standards they themselves could not meet. Once you are in the same space with them, you begin to notice a mindset driven by grandiosity and distorted perceptions, oftenContinue reading “THE FAMILY VALUES WE MUST NOT LOSE”

Freedom, Values, and Self-Accountability

Which is more important: being free to do whatever you want, or being guided to choose your needs over your wants? Any wise person would choose to live intentionally and be guided by principles and values. Today, conversations about relationships have become dominant across many social media platforms. Unfortunately, much of the discussion is centeredContinue reading “Freedom, Values, and Self-Accountability”

The Danger of Comforting Illusions

The shift toward comfort-driven validation is not healthy. Over time, the yardstick for measuring love and beauty has moved from intangible values to fleeting physical qualities. While these physical traits may satisfy temporary desires, they often fail to meet our deeper, lasting needs. Recently, I listened to a podcast discussing the merits and risks ofContinue reading “The Danger of Comforting Illusions”

Detachment Guilt: A Factor Contributing to Relationship Breakdown ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–

There has always been a desire to offer advice to others based on personal relationship experiences. Recently, however, there has been a noticeable rise in relationship breakdowns, role confusion, and leadership struggles among couples. This raises an important question: Who are you modelling your relationship after, and what was your ideal vision of marriage beforeContinue reading “Detachment Guilt: A Factor Contributing to Relationship Breakdown ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–”

Yes, I do โ€” the biggest decision a person can make ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

There is a tradition we have gradually watered down in the name of being โ€œcivilised.โ€ It is called Iju Ase โ€” (to make enquiry). ๐ŸŒธ It is part of our culture and heritage to make proper enquiries about who and where you intend to marry into. This enquiry covers medical history, personality traits, family values,Continue reading “Yes, I do โ€” the biggest decision a person can make ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ”

๐Ÿ’ž A Call to Conscious Living: โ€œWho Will Bell the Cat?โ€ ๐Ÿ’ž

๐Ÿ’– โ€œWho will bell the cat?โ€ is a powerful metaphor that thoughtfully captures a reality many of us recognise: while problems are widely acknowledged and solutions often identified, there remains a visible reluctanceโ€”a lack of courageโ€”to take responsibility and act decisively. This reflection invites us to honestly evaluate not just the issue, but our roleContinue reading “๐Ÿ’ž A Call to Conscious Living: โ€œWho Will Bell the Cat?โ€ ๐Ÿ’ž”

๐ŸŒธ Love, Fear, and the Future of Our Families โค๏ธ

I recently listened to a video clip of a popular Nigerian celebrity who expressed that he is โ€œscared of getting married.โ€ ๐ŸŒธโค๏ธ Notably, his fear was not rooted in concerns about infidelity, but rather in the uncertainty of whether he would be able to sustainably provide for his family in the future. This reflection highlightsContinue reading “๐ŸŒธ Love, Fear, and the Future of Our Families โค๏ธ”

โค๏ธ Reflections on Love, Commitment, and Guarding Our Relationships

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ The bird that keeps looking back at its old nest while flying will eventually clash into a tree. In much the same way, some people move into new relationships physically while their hearts and minds remain tied to their previous partners. When the past is not properly released, it becomes difficult to fully embraceContinue reading “โค๏ธ Reflections on Love, Commitment, and Guarding Our Relationships”
