GIRLS' POSTS, DON'T GET IT TWISTED.

 



You maybe wrong...


Sarah was upset about a question asked by  Frank, a guy she met on Facebook.


They've been friends for some years  but they haven't been chatting frequently maybe due to mutual respect for each other or lack of interest as there are thousand other friends  to chat with.


On a Friday evening, Sarah made a short post " I WANT SOMEONE TO DO IT WITH" with the hashtag FREAKY FRIDAY.

The post received some typical mixed reactions from friends, several others rain insult on her, labelling her horny woman, while others indicated interest without knowing the true message behind the post.


Trailing reactions drawn from the post made by Sarah got several visitors flooding her inbox with indication of interest, accusations and commendations for making such a  daring statement.


One among the several messages Sarah got was a chat from Frank who applauded her for making such a bold statement. 


Frank's chat with Sarah got a bit mutually conversational as it proceeds.


FRANK: Pretty... I am amazed by the post you made. It is something most girls won't do... I must say that you are  bold and beautiful.


SARAH: Oh! Don't quote me wrong, it is nothing. It's just a way to express myself and perhaps draw up people's opinions on issues like that...


FRANK: That was out of the box and you just set the media space ablaze with that series of reactions.


SARAH: Well, it is our normal naija way of reacting to post of that nature. That's what you get when making such a post.


FRANK: Yeah! You are right. That's our way....


FRANK: Where are you now? Can we see?


SARAH: I am in Uyo.


FRANK: Same with me... So can we meet? I want us to get connected, I will pay you handsomely for your service.


At this point, Sarah perceived insult rather than a mere chat..


SARAH: What do you mean? I don't understand you.


FRANK: I mean how much do you charge? 


SARAH: For what? 


FRANK: Don't tell me you don't understand what I mean.. how much do you charge for s*x?


SARAH: Are you nuts? What has come over you? Don't provoke me.....


Sarah couldn't believe what she saw. Was Frank taking her as sex worker just because she made a post? 


She blasted Frank for his insolence attitude and warned him never to try that rubbish again, and if that wasn't enough, blocked him from chatting with her.


******


To our guys: 


Don't rush to a woman's inbox to disgrace yourself because of post or comments you see from on social media.


Don't misinterpret people's post 


Not all girls are s*x workers.


Respect what is to be respected.


To our girls: 


Know the post you make to avoid insult.

DON'T LEAVE WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.

The story . Udauk was too weak to continue with the evening chores around the house because of her pregnancy. She bent over the kitchen cabinet in search of a tuber of yam she was to prepare before her husband returned from work. At the point of stretching her hands to reach the tuber of yam under the cabin, she felt a sharp pain down her abdomen. Her left lap was swollen from the beating she got the previous night from the monster's husband. She was still short of three months from her due month. That's when she was to put to birth. The shape pain was accompanied by a loud scream. She dropped the knife she had with her and tried to settle on a table-size stool lying close to the gas cylinder in the kitchen, but she couldn't. She fell and started screaming, reached out to her phone, and dialed her husband. Mr. Sam had branched  Madam G's Native Kitchen to settle for a while before heading home as his habit demands. He was busy at his usual joint with a bottle of chill

Social Media: Are we swallowed by it? It is alarming yet no longer news the rate of social media usage since the turn of the millennium. Social Media has become a tool in nearly every 9/ 10 persons we meet everyday of our lives. In fact it is estimated that youth particularly engaged in social Media taking 8/9 hours a day out of the 24hrs. Without doubt, social media has come to enhance and add more meaning to our daily life. Since the advent of social media in the early part of the millennium, the rate people get involve in these wonderful platforms keep increasing on a daily basis. To some youth and some fraction of older people, social media is like oxygen. They can't stay a moment without. A lady once said that she can't stay without visiting her Facebook page in a day. With the number of people flooding the Social media on per second basis, one will wonder if these technology has any bad effect at all. Millions of people use social media as it is the trend now,

JOURNEY OF NO RETURN.

  The story. The atmosphere was heavy, that of apprehension and uncertainty as Iquo stared at the open space leading into the compound. It was around 10:33pm that evening.  A time in Ikot Ekim community when every household had put off their lamps and retired to bed. The nocturnal sound of night creatures made the night even more looming and intense.  Nsek has never stayed out so late no matter how fierce any argument with his wife was. In their 24 years of marriage, no matter the nature of the fights Iquo has had with her husband he will always come back home to rest in his hut.  As time ticked away, she stared at the open compound, struggling to fend off the call of nature with the hope her husband would appear at the far end of the compound.  Using her hand to support her chin, she wondered how things could change so fast. Her husband Nsek was no longer the man she married. He picked fights at every little argument and would end the night with curses, accusing Iquo of turning his on
