My Morals:My Challenge

 1.
The night was chilly and the rain drops on the roof was almost deafening,Power Holding has just struck for the umpteenth time that Saturday.The green tea Ugo made to keep herself warm as she snuggled deeper under the duvet was almost cold again.Ugo was lost in thoughts;Where did the years go to?It was just like yesterday, the day she passed out of the National Youth service Corps.Such a relief that day.Ugo was posted to the remotest village in Katsina state,a name she doesn't want to remember.After living all her life in Enugu, she barely coped as a Youth Corper in far away North.
    Ugo is a fair skinned beautiful girl of 27 years,a graduate of Chemical Engineering from the University of Nigeria Nsukka.Ugo is the second child of her parents but the first girl,little wonder her father a Medical Doctor, fondly called her Adaure,meaning;Daughter of Pride.Ugo is intelligent,witty and calm.She is a moralist,too principled.Staring straight into the wall opposite her,her mind drifted back to her first relationship.Gozie...Gozie was a smooth guy,his popularity was record breaking on campus.Ugo was shot into focus by her relationship with Gozie,she didn't like it.she called it cheap popularity.Students called her Ugo Gozie to dinstinguish her from her course mate who was also Ugo.What are you famous for,she would query him?.Because you are handsome and the girls like you?.But isn't that the same reason you love me?,he would quickly tease her.Giving him  a helpless look,she would shake her head in surrender.Ugo loved Gozie and Gozie loved Ugo or so it seemed but Gozie was a ladies man.He had a way with girls on campus.Ugo remembered going to see him one night as agreed.As she opened the door,she saw Gozie right on top of her room mate Susan,both were naked.Ugo couldn't comprehend it,Susan?Susan who had told her severally to do away with Gozie,he was not her class?.It was a shock that tormented her for a long time,even though she would later forgive Gozie and take him back,unknown to her that scar is yet to heal...

where have Amanda been?

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
