What Can I do to Love By: Oj.Thorpe


Hello, it another weekend. I guess you had a great week. This week's piece is titled; ‘’What Can I do to Love’’

Is love really a beautiful thing?

Does true love exist?

How can I learn to love?

This where the questions she asked during the conversation. At first, I was mute. I couldn’t say a word, but just gave a calm smile and listened to her side of the conversation. It goes thus;

I find it hard to fall in love. In fact, I don’t know how it feels. I have dated more than fifteen guys, but wasn’t in love with any of them. I dated them because of the fun of dating and having a companion to just while away time with and you trust what your friends would say if you were the only one single among them.

 After being in a relationship for two months, I tend to lose interest in the whole thing called love. It becomes boring and this would lead to issues arising during the early stages of dating as I thought it was normal or was just my age then.

Presently, I would be 30years in a few months' time and I don’t have a serious relationship. I want to get married and have kids of my own.

  1. Hmmm! Love is a beautiful thing, and until you start seeing seeing it as such, you'll never love. The truth is, there's nothing you can do to love, Love is a sweet natural thing, it comes freely. The only thing you can do is talk to your heart'. Make your heart soft and open to love. Although attimmes, it's difficult to love, but then again, it's sweet to love. And finally, Love does not recognises age. Maybe that true love hasn't showed up yet, when it does, the heart will know and the body will respond. GIVE IT MORE TIME.

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
