Love for real
It seems like the year is really running as I find it hard to believe that the next thing on the agenda is St Valentine’s Day. Not everyone believes in celebrating Valentine though but that should not stop us from recognizing what the season or the day represents. Several people use this time to declare their love and I remember when I was in high school, one of my roommates had an anonymous Valentine card.Well, it actually seemed anonymous but as she peered and touched the card, she came across a small seal which she broke. It revealed the name of the sender.He was one of the quiet boys in…

Enough light
There comes a time in the life of most women, when you tell yourself ‘This is it. I choose him’or ‘I accept him’, depending on how many proposals you get. I wondered for many years how I would know the right choice to make. How do I choose one above all else, who is not Jesus? People had asked me in the past, ‘What will he do, to prove he is ‘the one’?” I really didn’t know the answer to that question and I told God not to tell me, but to show me, when the time was right. A friend gave me a message by a wonderful woman called…

Is Sex overated?
BED ROOM, BOARD ROOM , BALL ROOM AND NEWS ROOM, DOES SEX MATTER? Sex is overrated! Oh yes, you read me right. As someone who makes a livelihood from sex, believe me when I tell you that sex is over-rated. However, sex sells. Are you wondering what the difference is? Let me explain. From the North Pole to the South Pole, from the big bang to the blackhole and from the Garden of Eden to the present, sex sold, sex sells and will continue to sell. Ever wondered why Lucifer posed as a the snake and went to Eve? Why did Lucifer son of the morning not go to Adam?…

When it ends
O girl, I’m sorry Your;re not my kind of girl … O girl, I’m sorry You’re not my kind of girl … You’re Not My Kind of Girl New Edition I am not sure if you remember the chorus of this hit “You are Not my kind of girl” by New Edition but it was one of those songs that was so good to dance to but not be told. When it comes to the matter of love, no one likes to be rebuffed. And love songs in general are one of the most sang songs because many people can relate. Whether it is about new love, lost love ,…

Romantic Neighbours
One of the advantages of living in the neighbourhood and having neighbours, is the tendency to be seen. The chances that we could strike a conversation that could lead to something special is always there. Sometimes our neighbours want something more and we are not interested. Well, I think it is always very good to define the relationship from the very beginning and I dare say that romance in the neighbourhood also has its rules of engagement like romance in the workplace. So shortly after I arrived and settled in the United Kingdom, I was faced with the challenge of accommodation. One of my former housemates got married and by…

Tick ,tick
Tick tick says the clock What you have to do, do quick I cannot believe it is the last Friday in February. I must admit that January did not seem long as it used to and before I knew it February was here. Yes, it is the lover’s month but I must confess I did not get a card this Valentine which ironically is also my birth month. Come to think of it, I am not sure I even received one last year or even the year before that. I am not sure if it is something that my husband has put into a box labelled “no longer necessary” but…

Keeping Love fresh….
For some of us who may not now , Gracilis is a name I acquired from the medical school. So besides writing here, I actually have a part time medical job now with patients. In short, I was at work today and had a good time with my patients. The last person I saw told me she was quite scared of meeting the dentist and I assured her, I would only be looking and doing nothing. Interestingly she told me she is a counsellor so at the end of my consultation,, she was very relaxed and I told her she would probably use the experience as an example for her…

Knowing the “One”
The Valentine season is a few months gone and for some people, it marked the beginning of a new relationship while for some others, it probably identified cracks in a relationship they thought was developing. The unmistakable silence pre and post Valentine period has only gone on to prove that they have once again been unlucky in the game of love.No matter how many heartbreaks we sometimes go through, we still all hope that we will find true love and with every other relationship, the expectations of our heart spar as we wonder if we have come to the end of the search. There comes a time in the life…

My Lost Love
My name is Ogheneyoma and I have sent this story to Dishusbandmata. I hope it helps someone. In my second year in the university, I started dating a guy; he was my first boyfriend so I was taking baby steps with him while I tried to figure out the dating world. We made out a couple of times but no heavy stuff because I was 19 years and wasn’t ready to go all the way. In my third year we broke up because I got saved. He was of the opinion my getting saved didn’t change anything but for me it changed everything; I didn’t even want the occasional kisses…

The Day After
Yesterday was a very significant day in the lives of most people. It was not just the adults but even many teenagers had looked forward to it. It was a day to celebrate love and ironically, another day that could be a painful reminder for some people. And sometimes this pain could have been caused by unmet expectations, as well as the discovery of betrayal/two-timing. Without much ado, yesterday probably defined most relationships. I know of someone who proposed yesterday and got an affirmative answer, I equally know of a husband whose principle of non-celebration of the day has always been that he did not believe in Valentine’s day as…
