Women; The Reason for High Divorce Rate!

"Marriages used to work well in the days when women were teachers". Those were the words of a friend's brother when we were discussing the high rate of divorces. He is a legal practitioner, so I believe he has seen more divorces in recent times, but I

Love and relationships

I think dating is a bit daunting. The following below are just my random, meandering thoughts:
                                
1. Is it just me or don't you think that the quality of men nowadays is on the decline? Or women just got more intelligent, hence changed priorities. I really think the more exposed and educated a woman is, the bar is set higher in terms of expectations from these men.

Somethings Cannot be Ignored

I'm not happy that I have not posted anything in a long while, but I've been very busy with school work, child care and running a home. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle of my life, I couldn't ignore the whole Boko Haram bombings and the most talked about abduction of the Chibok girls.

I still wonder who they are, who their sponsors are, and if they have got any hearts at all (it doesn't seem like they do anyway). How else can a group of people cause so much pain to families and a nation without batting an eyelid?

I'm sorry

I, Rene, sincerely wish to use this medium to apologize to everyone. I have been away and circumstances beyond my control conspired to reduce my blogging career. So many things happened all at once, some good, some bad, and some that simply do not have a definition. And I had to develop a coping mechanism and sort myself out.

The Problem with Nigeria: My Opinion

It's been a while since I did a post, I sincerely apologize. I've been so busy with school work that I barely have time for myself. I've also been battling 'writer's block', I hope it clears up soon. I'm not an expert on this issue, but like I said, it's my opinion and I'll say it the way I truly feel.

In The Spirit Of Lent, Give

I am Catholic and excited about Lent because of the many things it represents. It is the preparation before Easter; a period to fast and pray and generally prepare yourself for Christ's death and resurrection. It is a time to reflect and focus on Christ and to give to the needy. We all know how Jesus always gave, never asking for anything in return, for himself.  So, there is this on-line site run by Fr. Robert Barron that I am subscribed to and it sends me mails periodically. Today I got a mail from him.

The Many Faces of Friendship

A friend is a gift you give to yourself. My dictionary defines a friend as a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. I don’t know if it’s a Naija thing but we tend to say: that person is a good or bad friend. Hello, there are no good or bad friends. You are either a friend or not. We make friends everywhere. Some friendships are formed in kindergarten and develop through to adulthood. Some friendship evolves from simple acquaintances and becomes something deeper and long lasting. Some people become friends after a second, some after a longer period of time. For some people; it is as easy as licking a lollipop.
