FOR 14th February

Hey fellow lovers! The season of love is here again. I am a big fan of the word, ‘LOVE’ and so this day means a lot to me. Who doesn't like the idea of being loved? I’m certain everyone does only that some do not like the idea of loving and that’s sad! It’s important that you love yourself, love others and love God above all. Only when you do this will you live a life of fulfillment. Say no to hate for it kills you!

My advice, as you spend the day showing your romantic partner or prospective romantic partner how much you love him/her, remember that there are people living in abject poverty in your arena. There are orphans and homeless people around you. Even that mad man that passes by your street everyday can benefit from your loving gesture somehow. And Theodor Reik was in same spirit with me when he said, “In order to be happy with oneself it is necessary to make at least one other person happy” Also, if you expect a gift from him, why not get him one?

Enough of the sermon! Now here is a love poem I choose to share on this day. You can recite it to your lover or ‘imaginary lover’ as the case may be. You can just change few words there, depending on the sex (male/female) of the person. I hope you enjoy this.
           
                        MY LOVER
    My lovely handsome lover
            He taught me to be tender
            For him this case I render
            Coz he makes my heart shiver

    My lovely handsome lover
            Who makes my heart to shiver
            His smiles make me joyfully feel like a Diva
            As I journey life’s thousand miles, he’s my driver

    My lovely handsome lover
            Like a lark he makes me to laugh so tender
            Before him, love catches me like a fever        
            His love so spicy like a Ginger

             My lovely handsome lover
            He is my prince and I’m his princess Lovina  
            Together we swim this ecstatic river
            And with him I will live in peace and feel better
-Amarachi Nwankwo

“And remember, as it is written, to love another person is to see the face of God”- Les Miserables

Have yourself a wonderful valentine’s day!

TICK! TICK!!... DO QUICK!!!

Ever heard the Nursery rhyme, ‘Tick says the time tick tick; what you have to do do quick’? Or the popular statement that time waits for no one? How about ‘Do not do the right thing at the wrong time’? Have you ever heard that procrastination is the foundation of all failures? Or that the time is now? What about, “the bad news is time flies; the good news is you’re the pilot”? Or that “a man who dares waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life”? I tell you, a lot has been said about time, all pointing to its very importance. During my undergraduate days, one of our lecturers, Professor Ojebode once taught the class a poem by Robert Herrick. It goes this way, “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may; Old time is still a-flying; and this same flower that smiles today tomorrow will be dying”. Professor Ojebode made us recite this during every of his lecture periods. This, I believe was done to create a lasting awareness about the importance of time and time management i...

DIARY OF A TIRED GIRL AND LESSONS LEARNT

Today is 9 th  of October, 2016 and time is 11:30pm. I am lying on my bed this Sunday night feeling tired, very very tired. My tiredness is borne out of the various activities I had engaged myself in. I sat on my chair, computer on table with my eyes fixed to the computer screen. I had been on this for long hours now. I only got up when I needed to cook, brush, have my bath and then I continued the act. This feeling of fatigue! For the greater part of the last three months, this has been my routine. I remember having body aches sometime as a result. I had to visit the hospital for that but on this fateful night, I learnt my lesson. I cannot even believe I’m writing this. I tell you, I’m feeling so tired!  I've  been feeling dizzy, like…I’d fall to the ground and then…Halfway to writing this, I was called to join the rest of the family for our daily evening prayers. During the course of our prayer meeting, ‘Nepa’ took light. I’m back to my room feeling even worse b...

COME ALIVE LITTLE BIRD

Hey little bird! Little bird on the tree. Little bird on the tree could you please sing for me? You sit there and watch with gloomy eyes. Where went your chatterings? Where went your chirpings? Hey little bird! Who clipped your wings? Please, come alive little bird. Again, little bird, come alive @Amarachi Nwankwo, 2019 Note: Children are like birds- beautiful, full of life with bright futures ahead. May we be careful not to ruin their lives with our words, silence, actions and inactions. May we never clip their wings. May we invest love, care and much more into their young lives and be sure to reap them. May we build a sane society. #saynotosuicide
