REMEMBERING KEN SARO WIWA

-
I was about eleven years old when Ken Saro Wiwa was executed. The whole NigerDelta politics made me cringe, it was one thing or another and back then i really didnt understand much until he was executed. A few years later, I came across a book he wrote and it sometimes make me wish he was still alive.I havent read much of his publications but it was a really good read. I highly recommend this book. Why is it that the most people with potential lie in their graves?This makes me beleieve that everyday is an opportuinity to make a difference to become a better person. Ken may not have had a chance like you or I  but he died for a cause and is a hero in the Ogoni land and in Nigeria.

Is it hard to find a good man nowadays or are the ladies of this generation no longer wife material because it goes both ways. A chic could be looking for a man who would give her  a decent relationship, a great time, movies, vacation, dinner, family , sex, etc with a commitment or something like it but not be  wife material. Meanwhile there could be another ...

ARE YOU OWNED OR DO YOU OWN?

Hello Blogville, i haven't blogged in a lonnnnnngg time. I have totally killed my resolution about blogging more frequently but i actually need to really have something to say not just recycle news. I have been attending weddings and yes most of my MATES are getting married and i am just sitting here FABULOUS and ISH!! Anyway 2016 is coming.....

Terry Bams, a relationship coach asked a question on Twitter "In a marriage, should your partner have access to all your things? (Cell phone, social media, bank account,etc)" This is a very simple question and it could also be very complex. My answer to this question is NO. Lately from my own observation some couples miss the individuality part of their person, once in a relationship everything starts becoming "us" which is how it should be but eventually they start losing their individuality. Not everything necessaril...
