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, ...

TILL DEATH DO US APART

 The story.  She wanted to fix this once and for all. She felt it was her obligation and responsibility to try and fix her marriage. It is true that when love can no longer sustain the marriage, commitment,  and sense of responsibility does. This was Elma's concern. Though things were never what she expected, especially after having an affair with her personal assistant, she felt she could rekindle the love and bring her home. Shutting the door of the penthouse behind Mark her boyfriend, Elma warned him never to call again, not when she was trying to fix her home and get back with her husband. After Mark drove off, Elma took a step backward from where she was, fell on the bed and sobbed profusely. It was hard for her to see him leave. In the past six months of knowing Mark, he made her feel loved again and provided her a shoulder to cry on. He made her forget the horrors George her husband made her pass through in the last three years.  Elma left the penthouse that n...
