Dear Future Mothers; May we teach our sons to become real men and not just bear the status by what dangles between his legs

Learn to stop seeking approval from your pastors and seek validation directly from God.Spirituality doesnt come from religion,religion is a set of rules created by imperfect humans.Spirituality comes from deep within our soul,we must learn to stop confusing religion with spirituality.

SOCIETAL MISPLACED VALUES

Its been a long time i have written anything due to a tight school programme. I want to pen down a short piece on this topic "misplaced values" .
I was at the spar mall port-harcourt two days ago and a couple showed open display of affection by kissing each other publicly..Immediately i noticed two women at my back,scowling and eventually muttered in disaproval .There are children here for crying out loud ;one lady muttered staring at the couple in disgust. I left the mall and saw the same woman at the junction,with her car parked and her husband obviously urinating by the side of the road.
This is my take ...we have a whole lot of misplaced values in our society . So it is wrong for a couple genuinely in love to show open public display of affection in our society ? And it is ok by society standards for a full fledged Man with his family in the car to alight from the car and expose his privates in the name of urinating by the side of the road.No woman or man will mutter or send disgusting scowls at him,or say excuse me sir this is wrong ,there are kids in the car.
The same woman who showed open disgust to the couple who locked lips outside (kissing) ,would turn the other eye when a man brings out his penis in the open ,urinating by the side of the road and think it NORMAL..

DEAR WOMAN : LEARN TO STRUGGLE

I will rather struggle everyday of my life than to ever give a man the power to say"you wouldnt be who you are today if it wasnt for me". Yes a few might have and are still supporting you along this journey,but the resilience to make something of your self dear woman...to be a "mini god" in your choosen career or buisness empire. You might never be seen as an equal to men but you can be respected as an equal in achievment. The feeling to be given a seat at their table as so many strong women before you in times past.When you walk into a room ,you walk in power and speak in depth,that is the woman you should crave to be.The kind of beauty you should strive to get, is the hard to get kind,the beauty that comes from within - strength,courage and dignity.

One day you are going to get old.
And it wont be how pretty you are anymore.
Its a mistake to be out here competing
With God and gravity.
A girl just turned 18 today,
Sad to say she is already on your heels.
All she wants is brazillian hair and bags.
If you give the best years of your life,and body to the Game,
You will be left with nothing.
Make haste with the youth you have,
Achieve greatness.

EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE

Never be ashamed or embarrased to struggle.There is absolutely no shame in working hard to get to where you want to be. No shame at all.There is dignity in Labour.
sometimes its tough and at times it gets rough,keep your head up and above water. I have never heard of a farmer who cultivated his land diligently and failed to produce a bountiful harvest

THE LAST OF THE GREAT ONES

(ELECHI AMADI)

You have lived ,but i have lived through you.
You came generations before me,
Your footprints left in the sand i tried to study.
Your books THE GREAT PONDS,AND THE CONCUBINE,
Gave birth to the literature i have come to love.
From the time i read your books,i devoured every written book you authored.

I am still in shock,at the sudden news of your demise.
I never knew you personally,but i feel as if i have known you through your books.
The loss is great as my heart sinks in despair,
Never will i see such writing again.
Achebe has called you ,to break kola
With him in the land of the spirits.

Your tired bones should rest,its time to join the rest of the great ones .
REST IN PEACE ELECHI AMADI,]
Thank you for leaving a part of you behind.
Sleep well the last of the dragons,
Sunset is finally here .
