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.
 I am dedicating this write up to

Echoes of My Soul By: Similafleur

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

It’s Dangerous to use broom to mash ‘ewedu,’ Gastroenterologist warns

Using a small bunch of broomsticks, known as ijabe, to mash ewedu (mallow-leaves) is very common among Nigerians when preparing the slimy soup. However, medical experts have said that the age-old practice is actually fraught with dangers. Ewedu is also known as Rama ayoyo  among Hausa, while the Igbo call it Kerenkere. Dr. Adegboyega Akere of the Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Wednesday, advised women and caterers to desist from the practice. Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift.                                              ©-Marvee
