Give me a divorce or I commit suicide!

Marriage is said to be a sacred institution ordained by Almighty God himself.It was honourable to marry(still very much is in Naija anyway) anywhere in the world.People married for genuine reasons;love,companionship,maturity,etc.These days,the case is so different and frighteningly so.I keep wondering why people go into marriage.For love or companionship?Well,there sure would be a few who would get it right but sadly with the increase in divorce cases,it seems people marry for shallow reasons.
Love is unbreakable,that I know so I wonder what love bound the couple in the first place.Today people marry for reasons as disheartening as money,sex,beauty,peer pressure,societal opinion...mhnnn age(well,I think this one counts o or whatdyathink?)
Now,a man petitioned an Ikeja Customary court for the third time to grant him a divorce after two failed attempts to divorce his wife.He threatened that if he continued living with the woman he would commit suicide.All pleas to let his marriage live fell on deaf ears.He desired to either kill the marriage or himself.Which is more acceptable?What could have happened?Where did they get it wrong?

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 ...
