THE DIDACTIC EYESORE (THE LESSONS I LEARNT FROM PROSTITUTES)

Sometimes ago I strolled down to a brothel in my hood, I really didn’t know why I went there but nothing was around to stop me. I got there, sat in the bar, as I watched other dudes sat, sipping beer and looking satisfied after a short time service from the call-girls.

Where I sat quietly, one of the call girls who must have thought I had a lot of money on me, though older than me came dancing seductively. She shakes her backside to the rhythm of the music while I was there dreaming a doggy style with her for the whole night. She was all in my head, she went away from the light waiting for me to come and I did.

Shh! I called her and she slouched closer. I want us to have fun with each other I whispered unconvincingly, placing my hand around her waistline.

 She angrily shoved off my hand and demanded for bluntly.

“How much?” I asked,

 “3500 for short time” she replied with a waving whisper.

“3500!!!” I queried and wondered why a reasonable man would pay 3500 for less than two minutes enjoyment with a prostitute.

“You be virgin?”  Na today you start to dey carry Ashawo? She angrily asked and slouched away.

She was right, I was a virgin. I left and went to a near by hotel without trying to find out what spirit is pushing me to do a thing like this for the first time.

At the bar of the hotel I sat at a corner to watch guys smoke, drink and negotiate with the available call-girls, for either short time or TDB (till daybreak) fun. Where I was sitting, I set my eyes on a half-cast-like, well dressed and too tender to be called a call-girl, I presumed she was the bar manager but I was wrong, she also had a bunch of keys in her middle finger like the other call-girls. I wondered what could have driven that angelic girl to prostitution but I couldn’t draw lines on my thought before I asked her for the night, “N5000” she insisted but I managed to beat down her price to N3000.

Though I had no penny on me, I followed her to her room where the TV was watching the ready bed. In order to avoid an imminent disgrace, I acted as if I was making call but it wasn’t going to work out, so I told her to strip so I would see what I am paying for, she declined insisting she’s not my girlfriend therefore I should pay her first, before that she already tore the condom and ready to wear it on me, answer me if you wan f.ck, or go out make I go hustle; time dey go beg. As I showed no sign of seriousness, she stood by the door and ordered me to go out.

Though I still didn’t know what pushed me there and I wouldn’t have escaped if I had money on me but even without the fun, the experience was didactic. I learnt the secret of having a successful career from the world’s oldest and one of the most condemned profession.

I learnt that prostitutes are epitome of determination as a result of right promising. They have two major goals; to make money and to have fun but they will never place having fun ahead of money making, they show no sentiments, they understand the second can always come before the first but the first which they need most won’t come if they place the second first.

Another quality they possess is undiluted focus, they are ready to go to bed with anyone, physically challenged or not as far as they are first assured of their payments. Their major focus is money making and they won’t trade it for any bed magician, a man’s stunning look or outfits. All these do not make any sense to them if they find out you aren’t going to pay them or compliment their duties well discharged with more cash.

The only set of guys that gets their attention is the ones that could spend their salaries on them.

They don’t also care about what name the guys call them, not even how they look at them; what matters to them is that you pay them for their services. That’s focus.

The pedagogical aspect of this eyesore should be imbibed by all men that desire to be successful in all works of life.

Just as a prostitute would never compromise her priority which is to make money first so they should learn to set their priorities and follow up regardless of any distraction. Another smart aspect of them is that you have to pay them before service if not they won’t allow you on them regardless of how aroused you are.

This is a street smart lesson that we ought to apply to our business; assuring payments for great services delivered to avoid unnecessary arguments with customers.

Just as they will ignore all insults, look down on all forms of disgrace to sleep with any man and get their payment in full, anyone that aspires to be successful career, marital and spiritual life should be able to detach themselves from what they think people would say about them for doing what they do and move on to apply the right principles that it takes to achieve their set goals.

MALADORATION: THE UNHOLY INVENTION

Maladoration is the act of worshiping, admiring and adoring, a spirit, person, an entity or a thing when it is wrong to do so, especially when the worshiped is lower to the worshiper.

This act is as old as human existence; it started centuries ago when human race first began to question to question the true existence and identity of the omnipotent God. They were tired of worshiping an “imaginary GOD” but understood there was a supernatural power that controlled their actions so they made for themselves craving images, first out of clay and later gold and silvers. The act of worshiping graving images transcended to the act of worshiping statues of their ancestors who they believed possessed some extraordinary powers at death. They believed they have authority over them and has ability to protect them.

In Africa, most traditions give room for maladoration, their ancestral believes started from the worship of the river goddesses, mountains, stones, trees and other inanimate which they belief possess some superior spirits and extraordinary powers. They believe these things have some sort of omniscient control over them, they believe they provide them with certain needs after certain sacrifices and rituals.

For those that practice such maladoration, they only lack basic understanding of who they are and what they worship really are. Aside from river goddesses that god gave some powers, there is nothing inanimate that has life and spirit that can communicate to human and even if they do, none of them including the river goddesses deserves our worship because we are made superior to them by the creator and worshiping them is like God worshiping us.

SULE, THE UGLY CHECHE (THE SELF-ESTEEM WAR)

Sometime ago, a good friend of mine from North America sent me a message saying "hi, ugly boy” and I replied, "hello beautiful lady” without giving it a real thought. But if it were some six, seven years before now, it would have got me thinking and depressed, blaming God for making me ugly and perhaps my mom for settling for my father whom I look exactly like. Talking about some six, seven years ago; when I was still in high school; a remarkable event took place, a self-esteem war that changed my name to "Sule, The Ugly Cheche."It was a Lully morning in the school premises after a show of shame with a group of girls, my classmates who had to fight for their beautiful friend, Esther, whom I became an embarrassment to just by asking her out. I was in SSS 3 and preparing for my final exams when it happened, they raised the chorus "Sule, Ugly Cheche" and invited junior students to back them up, their song was a sharp arrow, it pierced my heart and reduced me to a toy but I became madder that the guys standing could not stop them. All of them faulted me thus I was lonely and helpless in midst of crowd.

THE ECLESIASTIC MAD WOMAN

She comes here every day, sweeping, packing and disposing all by herself. She’s uninterested in what anyone has to say about her, she sweeps as if it is a wage-bound labor based on time. What a perfect way to demonstrate her diligence.

Had the street boys hanging around did the same thing, wealth will not be unfriendly with them.

Alas! They say she’s insane, compilations of all troubles of her life in her small head busted it, maybe it is self induced, a tale of ‘what you sow you shall reap’ but whichever it is, unconcerned she does her sweeping.

Her masterly command of Yoruba language and accurate response to all questions asked made me doubt her insanity. Only her legs that are painted purple like fowls marked for Christmas and her over-powdered face cemented her place in the assembly of lunatics.

She sweeps and begs for money to enable her dispose the dirt on the debris, she maintained her composure if no one reaches out to her, she gave no room for self-pity and always insisted on paying the ‘Aboki’(cart pusher) who was to help her dispose the dirt on the debris.

She knees saying heartwarming thank you anytime Aboki volunteers to dispose for free. Surely the sanitation of the sane is not as sane as that of this insane.

If insanity nurtures such lucidity she is sane and we all are insane.

Her ecclesiastic lifestyle preaches diligence, self-respect, humility, integrity and gratitude.

She has a passion to see the surrounding clean regardless of whether she lives there or not.

She sweeps and sweats and won’t leave any dirt untouched, that’s diligence.

She does the sweeping giving no attention to what people had to say about her and she insisting top pay the Aboki despite her poor status is self-respect.

Having to beg for alms to discard the dirt without feeling she deserved to be favored by passersby is humility, an active ingredient of greatness.

It was an act of integrity when she insisted on paying the Aboki even when he insists on not collecting money from her.

Bending her kneels to say thank you for every money given to her was an act of gratitude, an act that can spur God to action.

No motivational book writer will make any mistake of omitting any of the above qualities when writing on how to be successful in life.

Now, let this mad woman teach us how to live and be successful.

And if truly insanity nurtures such virtues then all that want to be successful must pray to be plagued with her type of insanity.

WHAT ABOUT THE HOMOSEXUALS?

Formal Manchester united defender, Gary Neville kissing his teamate Paul Scholes

On the 26th of June 2015, USA legalized gay marriage and religion bigots raised eyebrows, they consider it eyesore and the greatest sin against God.

In Nigeria, a lot of people feel once these happen; God would destroy such nation like he did to Sodom and Gomorrah. I wonder how and where they got their facts from but regardless of where they got their facts, it is a testimony that they do not truly recognize the God they seem to be defending. Why would God destroy a nation for a sin that isn't his most hated when they commit his most hated one and he overlook? All these indoctrinations are because people, especially the Christians are made to believe that it was simply because of homosexuality that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

Can someone show me where this is recorded in the whole Bible?

Not that I'm writing in support or against homosexuality or the legalization of their marriage, No! What I'm against is our hypocrisy in the name of religion. We quote scriptures that we don't understand and most times we think we can defend God when we don't make attempt to even know him; what he want and what he doesn't.

Prior to this, Japan and other European countries of the world have legalized Adultery and the religious people made not so much noise about it as they do now, probably because they consider it natural or a part of culture.

Nigerians in particular would not have gone against legalizing such since it align with their culture and justifies their ways of life but the same sets of people who are guilty of adultery condemns homosexuality and think they are holy to God while the homosexuals are the sinners. Hypocrites!

NOMOPHOBIA (ADDICTION TO PHONES)

Obama on phone, could he be suffering from Nomophobia?

You might be asking, “What is nomophobia?” I did too. But when I found out what it was I realized I had it. We know a phobia is a fear of something which can cause anxiety and stress. Usually, the amount of stress or anxiety doesn’t correspond to the level of danger that actually exists and so it is ultimately irrational.

What is “NOMO” Nomo is an abbreviation for “No mobile phone”. The term was created after a study a few years ago found that 53% of mobile phone users tended to be anxious when they “run out of battery or no longer had network coverage” etc. So nomophobia is the fear of being out of contact with your mobile phone! Stop now and think…

What if you lost your mobile phone? Did that cause you to panic?

LOVING THE UNSUNG (SHOWING LOVE TO THE UNLOVABLE)

When Jesus was asked which was the greatest of the commandments, he replied: to love God and the other which is like unto it, to love your neighbor just like yourself. Some might consider this easy but it’s really not.

Jesus understood well what he said, it wasn't a mistake.

He knew without loving your neighbor as yourself, you can never love or have relationship with God. How can you hate your neighbor and claim to love God? It is impossible.

One of the reasons why we find it hard to love is the way we pass judgment over others as if we are perfect too.

We have become a generation of hypocrites. God knows this and that's why it is written, "judge not so you would not be judged."

He knows it is impossible to show love to someone you pass judgment on.

All over the world, there is war against racism but the war can't be won until the issue of judging others has been fully addressed.

Let people understand the uniqueness in our differences.

Let no man be judged based on the color of his skin, sexuality, religion and culture.

Let no one think he is superior to the other.

I recently chastised a respected friend of mine for saying he hated gays.

That is wrong for anyone that claims to love God.

No Man has any moral justification to hate another Man but his claim just like others comes out of being judgmental which often lead to discrimination.

This is one cause of disunity in my country, Nigeria, the Igbos sees Yorubas as evils while the later see the Igbos as criminals and inferior.

Both sees Housas as inferior to them and tag them Boko Haram even though most of them know nothing about the insurgence.

How can you love someone you consider harmful and inferior when you are suspicious and proud?

What has a Man's choice of being a gay got to do with your life?

Does one by being a lesbian, heterosexual or a bisexual stop your own progress in life?

Do these choices of theirs hinder your relationship with God?

If you can't help them, don't compound their problems by judging them.

The fact is you are yet and not interested in knowing why they ended up that way so why pass judgment on them?

DESTINY: THE GOD-INVENTED MYSTERY

A young mother that life has placed in a corner, even though she can get better, she can't enhance her destiny. she will automatically stop when she reach the peak.

READING FROM THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE, the genealogy of mankind starting from Adam; The first man on earth to the Israelite the chosen nation and to this day. I found out a Godly weakness, a coat-tailistic mystery called destiny. I learnt about how it affect Human behaviours, Making some great and some small, some famous and some unknown, some Heroes and some Villains. How the ones with great destinies are glorified for it and ones with not so fantastic destinies are blamed for their fates.

I ALSO FOUND OUT A TRAGEDY that human being are forced to deal with, the fact that destiny can only be faulted and unfulfilled but cannot be enhanced by them. This explains why Jacob, who later became Israel in the Christian Bible, was greater than his elder brother Esau. That he bought birthright and also took his blessings wasn’t accident, it was predestined and prophesied right from their birth that Jacob, thought the second born would be greater than Esau, the First born.

Even if Jacob had not done those things he did, he would still be greater than Esau.

FECUFENISM (THE INSATIABLE QUEST FOR SELFISH GAINS)

TALKING ABOUT FECUFENISM, we must first understand its true meaning.

Fecufenism is defined as the insatiable quest for something wrongly; it maybe power, pleasure or wealth.

Fecufenism is older than human existence; it was first displayed by Satan in heaven which led to his fall. The first human being to practice fecufenism was Eve, the first woman on earth and she influenced the first man, Adam with it. They displayed this strait by eating the fruit which God told them not to eat simply because the devil told them they will be like God. They would not have eaten the fruit if Satan had not told them that.

FECUFENISM IS SATAN'S MOST HANDFUL TOOL to destroy humanity, it comes with momentary pleasure which often does not last long but made look irresistible through the employment of lustand made look real and last a little longer by infatuation.

Many have lost their values, lives and souls as a result of fecufenism.

Man's selfish nature and ego makes them more vulnerable to fecufenism than any other creature. this is why people ignorantly seek continuous power, pleasure and attention  are the ones that are easily trapped by irresistible charm of fecufenism. 

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE WORLD IS SUSTAINED BY FECUFENISTIC IDEOLOGIES.
