KNOWING YOUR TRUE FRIENDS By: Oluwajimi Thorpe



                       

Happy weekend to my readers, I will be writing on a very significant topic we all need to check in our life to see if we are making progress in our daily activities.
                            WHO IS A FRIEND?
 A friend is someone you love and who loves you, someone you respect and respects you, someone you trust and trusts you, someone who is happy to spend time with you doing absolutely nothing at all, someone that doesn’t care if you are ugly or boring, someone who forgives you no matter what you do, someone who tries to help you even when everything is confusing , someone who will sacrifice their life and happiness for you, someone that doesn’t care if you are rich or poor.
 Looking at this definition given above, how many of us can say to ourselves that we have friends in our life, how many of us can say we have people that will stand for us during our hardest time, how many people you call your friends are really your friends.
HOW MANY WILL  STAND BY YOU WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING?
 HOW MANY WILL STAY ON BOARD WHEN THE SHIP IS SINKING?
 HOW MANY CAN RECEIVE STROKES OF CANE FOR YOU?
 HOW MANY WILL GIVE YOU A HELPING HAND WHEN YOU NEED THEM?




 ‘’A TRUE FRIEND CAN ONLY BE IDENTIFIED DURING YOUR HARDEST TIME’’O.J.THORPE
 I don’t know about you, but I know about myself that this year I am changing a lot of fake people in my life, if you have someone that can at least do half of what I listed above hold on to them.
But if it’s the opposite, you just have to drop all those people for you to grow in life, you may feel you can’t do without them but later you will find out that it was the best thing that happened in your life, some friends tend not to add value in our life, they tend to slow you down, they tend to always expect from you without them at least giving a bit.
‘’Some friends are just in your life for what they can get from you, not for what they can share with you’’O.J.THORPE.
If i may ask you WHY DO YOU STILL KEEP THIS TYPE OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE?
Can you ask yourself WHAT VALUE IS THIS PERSON ADDING TO MY LIFE?
 Some people just have to leave your life for you to grow, if you are not growing in life you most also check the people around you that you call friends.
 ‘’A TRUE FRIEND IS LIKE YOUR SHADOW, WE RISE AND FALL TOGETHER’’O.J.THORPE.
 I can’t choose your friend for you, I can only enlighten you on the true meaning of the word FRIEND.

DREAMS OF A perfect FAMILY VANDALISED BY A FAKE IFA PRIEST

Who is man to God? Who is God to man How much distance do our prayers cover by land? In relation to our circumstances and time What does man think of what he sees? And what does God see of what man thinks Emmanuel; God with us But Immanuel on Alakija Street is having spiritual blurred visions On a trip to the priest to inquire of what the future holds, Inheriting gold and paying exceedingly half its worth to verify if it’s gold The tales of Alamu the one with the gift of palmistry Brothers killed brothers, Because the other has been identified to be, The one who will inherit the gift of the fathers, Which of my kids shall be successful? Answers of which the priest shall deliver A gift of wine, a gift of hen, The fake priest gets fatter, Worshipers of the deity that sip champagne and eat gizzards Whilst living off the believers hazard Your mother is a witch Your sister is the glitch Until your siblings die your lineage shall not succeed, These priests we...

MAY YOUR ROAD BE ROUGH By Tai Solarin, Jan. 1, 1964

I am not cursing you; I am wishing you what I wish myself every year. I therefore repeat, may you have a hard time this year, may there be plenty of troubles for you this year! If you are not so sure what you should say back, why not just say, ‘Same to you’? I ask for no more. Our successes are conditioned by the amount of risk we are ready to take. Earlier on today I visited a local farmer about three miles from where I live. He could not have been more than fifty-five, but he said he was already too old to farm vigorously. He still suffered, he said, from the physical energy he displayed as a farmer in his younger days. Around his hut were two pepper bushes. There were kokoyams growing round him. There were snail shells which had given him meat. There must have been more around the banana trees I saw. He hardly ever went to town to buy things. He was self-sufficient.  The car or the bus, the television or the telephone, the newspaper, Vietnam or Red China were nothing to ...

TAPOTI By: Mao Zedong

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo: Who is dancing with these rainbow colours in the sky? Air after rain, slanting sun: mountains and passes turning blue in each changing moment. Fierce battles that year: bullet holes in village walls. These mountains so decorated, look even more beautiful today. Artwork via: Forbes
