LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP ANGLE

A very poor man lived with his wife whose hair was very long. One day the wife asked her husband to buy her a comb for her long hair so that it can continue to grow well and to be well groomed.
The man felt sorry and said he didn't have money even to fix the strap of his watch which had just broken. The wife did not insist.

On his way to work that day, the man passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife. He came back home in the evening with a comb in his hand ready to give to his wife. He was surprised to see his wife with very short hair. She had cut and sold her hair and bought a brand new watch for her husband.

Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes; not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important to you.
Give love and show love where it matters and let it be the God-centered love.

How great our marriages would be if only we, as couples, can outdo each other in love and sacrifice. How awesome it would be that we each wake up thinking of what to do to make each other happy.

Selfishness must be removed from our minds. Create space and Quality Time to continuously grow your union. The quality time must not be shared with TV, Games, Internet surfing, Social media chats, etc which only give temporary happiness; not deep rooted joy and emotional satisfaction.

May your marriage and home receive fresh grace at each passing day...

Below is a guide on how to treat your wife in marriage.  Please study and put to practice.

●Don’t shout at your wife when you are talking. It really hurts her. (Proverbs 15:1)

●Do not speak evil of her to anyone. Your wife will become who you call her. (Gen. 2:19)

●Do not share her love or affection with another woman. It is called Adultery. (Matt. 5:28)

●Never compare your wife to another woman. If the other woman was good for you, God would have given her to you. (2 Cor. 10:12)

●Don’t ever allow her to beg you for sex. She owns your body just as you own her body. (1 Cor. 7:5)

●Be gentle and accommodating. She has sacrificed so much to be with you. It hurts her deeply when you are hash and irritating. Be tender. (Eph. 4:2)

●Hide nothing from her. You are now one and she’s your helpmeet. Let there be no secret you are keeping from her. (Gen. 2:25)

●Do not make negative comment about her body. She risked her life and beauty to carry your babies. She is a living soul not just flesh and blood.

●Do not let her body determine her worth. Cherish and appreciate her even till old age. (Eph. 5:29)

●Never shout at her in the public and in private. If you have an issue to sort with her, do it in the privacy of your room. (Matt. 1:19)

●Thank and appreciate her for taking good care of you, the kids and the house. It is a great sacrifice she is making. (1 The 5:18)

●All women cannot cook the same way; appreciate your wife’s food. It is not easy to cook three meals a day, 365 days a year for several years. (Pro. 31:14)

●Never place your siblings before her. She is your wife. She is one with you. She must come before your family. (Gen. 2:24)

●Invest seriously in her spiritual growth. Buy books, tapes and any material that will edify her and strengthen her walk with God. That’s the best thing you can do for her. (Eph. 5:26)

●Spend time with her to do Bible study and pray. (James 5:16)

●Make time to play with her and enjoy her company. Remember when you are dead, she’s gonna be by your grave but your friends may be too busy to attend your funeral. (Ecc. 9:9)

●Never use money to manipulate or control her. All your money belongs to her. She is a joint heir with you of the grace of God. (1 Pet. 3:7)

●Do not expose her weakness. You will be exposing yourself too. Be a shield around her. (Eph. 5:30)

●Honour her parents and be kind to her siblings. (SOS 8:2)

●Never cease to tell her how much you love her all the days of her life. Women are never tired of hearing that. (Eph. 5:25)

●Grow to be like Jesus. That’s the only way you can be a good and godly husband. (Rom. 8:29)

Important message gotten from a Doctor friend online.

When lights are off at night, one must not view the hand phone! (Smartphone)

Habitually using hand phones before bedtime in the dark can lead to serious problems.

Recently, an increasing number of 30-40 year-old patients are seeking medical attention due to using hand phones in the dark.

Professor Li Li, director of the Hospital of Ophthalmology SGH Singapore, said: direct glare of >30 minutes would cause irreversible eye macular degeneration that leads to rapid deterioration of vision.

Contracting maculopathy (eye cancer) means waiting for loss of sight because modern medicine cannot treat, let alone cure it.
The bright phone in the dark with close-up view high-energy directed at the eyes will damage the macula of the eye.

Professor Li Li said that symptoms of macular degeneration is mostly experienced by old people, but lately patients are getting younger. Patients who are 30-40 years of age increased by 3 %, most are frequent users of hand phones.

However, viewing the hand phone in the dark not only causes macular degeneration. It initially causes dry eyes, cataracts and eventually loss of sight.

Early lesions of the eye have to be treated with laser or injection of steroids.

254 Hospital eye specialist Professor Li Li suggested that the most important thing is to get rid of the bad habit of using hand phones in the dark. Because habitual use of hand phones in the dark before bedtime may cause a lifetime of harm.

Friends : In order to look after ourselves and our families, remember not to turn off the lights if viewing the hand phone. Inform hand phone users urgently that viewing hand phones in the dark can easily lead to loss of sight!

At the age of 33,
Jesus was condemned to death .

At the time
Crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst
Criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was
Even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike
Other criminals condemned to death by
Crucifixion Jesus was to be nailed to the
Cross by His hands and feet.

Each nail
Was 6 to 8 inches long.

The nails
Were driven into His wrist. Not
Into His palms as is commonly
Portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that
Extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew
That when the nails were being hammered into the
Wrist that tendon would tear and
Break, forcing Jesus to use His back
Muscles to support himself so that He could
Breath.

Both of His feet
Were nailed together. Thus He was forced to
Support Himself on the single nail that
Impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could
Not support himself with His legs because of the pain
So He was forced to alternate between arching His
Back then using his legs just to continue to
Breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the
Suffering, the courage.

Jesus endured this
Reality for over 3 hours.

Yes,
Over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of
Suffering? A few minutes before He died,
Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water
From his wounds.

From common images
We see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound
To His side... But do we realize His wounds
Were actually made in his body. A hammer
Driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped
And an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a
Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But
Before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and
Beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the
Flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His
Face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The
Crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men
Would not have survived this torture.

"

He had no more blood
To bleed out, only water poured from His
Wounds.
The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters
(just less than a gallon) of blood.

Jesus poured all 3.5
Liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His
Members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond
That, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His
Chest..

All these without
Mentioning the humiliation He suffered after carrying His own
Cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his
Face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight,
Only for its higher part, where His hands were
Nailed).

Jesus had
To endure this experience, to open the
Gates of Heaven,
So that you can have free
Access to God.

So that your sins
Could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception!
Don't ignore this situation.

JESUS
CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!

He died for you! It
Is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but
When it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward
To others because you are worried of what they may think
About you.

God
Has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced
To save you. Now think about this! May God bless your
Life!


All you have to do
Is:

1. Simply
Pray for the person who sent this message to
You:

2.Then, send this
Message to people.. The more the better.

3. People will
Pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God
For other people.

4. Take a
Moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for
Doing what pleases Him.

If you are not
Ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions.
He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33): "Everyone therefore
Who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge
before My Father in heaven; but whosoever denies Me
before others, I will deny before my Father in heaven."

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE. DAY ONE.
1Cor13:13...AND NOW ABIDES FAITH, HOPE,
LOVE, THESE THREE; BUT THE GREATEST OF
THIS IS LOVE.
Love is a very important word that has got a lot
of people confuse. The Hollywood, the nollywood
and all the woods have acted it but can't live it.
The circular artist sings and describe it but can't
stand it. The mistake they make is to think that
Love is confession. Love is more of an expression
than a confession. It's deep and it comes with a
lot of sacrifices. You may be able to define it and
not experience.
A married man abandon his wife and children and
indulge in adulterous relationship and calls it
Love.
A single lady breaks another woman's home,
married her husband and she calls it Love.
A married woman collects money from her ex and
calls it "First Love". She flets with a man on
social media or anywhere and she calls it Love.
There are ladies burning candles, making
incantations, and praying for other people's
relationship to break so they can take over and
they call it Love.
The parents grants every request of a child and
calls it Love.
A single lady yield to sexual pressures and calls it
Prove of Love.
A man you are not married to occasionally slaps
you, and even beats you, and you stay with him
because you are in love with him. Some persons
even think that a genuine relationship with true
love should occasionally experience throwing of
fist.....your case is pitiable!
There are many more stuffs we do in the name of
Love that's actually Ignorance.
Love does not inflict pain on others.
Love is not selfish and self centered.
Love is not foolish. You don't see trouble and put
your head there and call it Love.
THE LOVE THAT SUSPENDS YOUR BRAIN WILL
BRING YOU PAIN.

Two days ago a post was created about the various types of married men we have in homes which was quite good in grooming some guys to upgrade themselves from short comings...However, due to some demands for the type of wives version I just decided to come with the version about the different types of wives too in marriages.

TYPES OF WIVES:

1. Boxing Wives: These are the type of wives that fight with their husbands deliberately just to provoke him to anger...These kind of women are ready to fight with the husband mostly in the public area to create a scene.


2. Headmaster Wives: These are the wives that are well paid in either their career or business but they disrespect and put their husband down because they have the financial edge over their husbands...


3. Police Wife: This type is very common. These are the wives that inspect or police their husbands everywhere they go...When the husband goes to the bathroom they pick up his phone to quickly check his messages...If the husband makes a call they hide behind the door to listen to every conversation...If the husband goes out they make sure he is followed and has friends that keep an extra eye on the husband activities.


4. Dictionary Wife: These are the wives that don’t listen to the advise of the husband but rather they prefer to listen to the mother or sister....Whenever the husband says something, they quickly go to verify from either the mother, sister, friend e.t.c like a dictionary to know if she should go ahead with what the husband instructed or not.


5. Party wives: They prefer to buy every available asoebi and shoe and bag to attend any available party even though her family does not have the financial muscle to entertain such expenses...They are readily available at every party and owabe thereby neglecting their children, husband and home...


6. Pampered Wives: These are also known as daddy's little girl...They call and report their husband to their father at any slight argument or conversation...The rich ones are highly dangerous especially when the husband is working directly for the father...


7.Dustbin wives; The name might sound harsh but they exist...These wives leave the home unkept and dirty and you only see them rushing to clean the house only when they have a visitor at the door...There are several occasions were some husbands get home after a days work only to find the house upside down and dirty...


8. God fearing Wives: They are caring and loving. Provides emotional needs and creates extra time
for family. Guides home spiritually, Very responsible and treats husband and family with respect.

So for the ladies which one are you and for the guys which one do you currently have...

Kindly go through so that you can work on yourself if need may be.

According to a wedding report, there are basically 10 types of husbands in existence. They are listed below…


1. BACHELOR HUSBAND
Does things on his own without consulting wife. Hangs out a lot with friends more than the wife. Not serious about marriage life.

No one is an Angel, therefore, avoid digging one's past. What matters is the present life of your partner. Old things are passed away. try to forgive and forget. The past can't be change. So Focus on the present and the future!

3. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS IT'S OWN CHALLENGES

Marriage is not bed of roses. Every shinning marriage has gone through its own test of hot and excruciating fire. True love is proved in time of challenge. Fight for your marriage! Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in time of needs. Remember this is the vow you made on your wedding day!

4. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUCCESS

Don't compare your marriage with anyone! We can never be equal, some will be far in front and others far behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time, your marriage dreams shall come true.

5. TO MARRY IS TO DECLARE A WAR

When you marry, you must declare a war against enemies of marriage. Some of the enemies of marriage are: Ignorance, Prayerlessness, Unforgiveness, Adultery, Third Party Influence, Stinginess, Stubbornness, Lack Of Love, Rudeness, Wife battery, Laziness, Divorce etc. Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.

6. THERE IS NO PERFECT MARRIAGE

There is no ready made marriage anywhere. Marriage is hard work, volunteer yourself and perfect it daily. Marriage is like a CAR with Gear oil, gear box, back hassles and If this parts are not properly maintained, the car will brake down somewhere along the road and exposing the occupant to unhealthy circumstances. - Many of us are careless about our marriage... Are you? If you are, pls pay attention to your marriage.

7. GOD CANNOT GIVE YOU THE COMPLETE PERSON YOU DESIRE

He (God) gives you, him or her in the form of raw materials in order for you to mould what you desire. You may desire a woman who can pray for 1 hours but your wife can only pray for 30 minutes. With your love, prayer and encouragement, she can improve.

8. TO MARRY IS TO TAKE A RISK

You cannot predict what will happen after marriage, as situation may change, so, leave a room for adjustment. Pregnancy may not come in the next 4 years. You may get marry to her because she's slim but she becomes 100% fatter after a child. He may lose his beautiful job for years that you have to take the financial responsibility of the family until he gets a new job. But with God by your side, you will smile at last.

9. MARRIAGE IS NOT A CONTRACT, IT IS PERMANENT

Marriage needs total commitment, love is the glue that makes a couple stick together. Divorce starts in the mind. Never think of divorce! Never threaten your spouse with divorce. Choose to remain married! God hates divorce

10. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS A PRICE TO PAY

Marriage is like a bank account. It is the money you deposit into your bank account that you can withdrawn. If you don't deposit love, peace and care into your marriage, you are not a candidate of a blissful home. There is no free love in marriage, You cannot love without giving and sacrificing.

May The Lord Give You The Grace And Wisdom To Build A Heaven On Earth Marriage In Jesus Name

Getting regular exercise does far more for you, than just make you lose weight and keep fit; it can give you a whole new zest for life.
You know exercise is good for you, but do you know how good? From boosting your mood to improving your sex life, increase your mental capacity and help you live for longer. Here are 8 ways that regular exercise can improve your whole life:

It strengthens your bones: Just like your muscles, your bones are living tissue too, and the more you exercise them, the stronger they will get. You may not worry too much about the strength of your bones when you are young, but, when you get older, regular exercising can help to avoid you falling and fracturing your bones.

Regular exercise boosts your immune system: When you exercise, your body becomes more efficient. The temperature of your body increases, you breathe harder and your heart pumps faster.  All of this helps your body flush toxins and bacteria out of your system and it also makes your disease fighting antibodies circulate faster through your body.

It can improve your ‘bedroom performance: Exercise will give you more energy and greater stamina, but it also increases the physical arousal in both men and in women. The increased blood flow that regular exercise causes, will have a positive effect on both genders.

Regular exercise will increase your energy levels: Strangely, the best thing to do when you feel tired is to take some exercise. Stretching your muscles and flexing your body will actually reduce the feelings of tiredness. If you are really physically exhausted, then that might be a different matter. But, usually, tiredness is a mental state, rather than a physical one.

Regular exercise will help you sleep: It’s not so much that exercise will make you so tired that you have to sleep, but that it will improve the natural rhythm of your body. Regular physical exercise will help you to fall asleep faster, and you will enjoy a deeper sleep too.

It will build your mental strength: Pushing yourself, ever further, in your regular exercise routine will give you the strength to push yourself further in everyday life. You will find an inner strength that you never knew you had and, that strength of mind will stay with you forever.

Regular exercise promotes better habits: Getting into the exercise habit also promotes better all round, life habits. Once you find the motivation to work out regularly, you will also find the motivation to eat more healthily, and to go out and get the things that you want. Taking up regular exercise can really be a life changer, in more ways than you might have realized.

It improves your mood: Exercise is a great way to let off steam and relieve some of that stress. Just a 30 minute walk will stimulate the production of a number of chemicals in the body that will both calm you and improve your mood.

This topic will benefit both ladies and guys.

A woman plays many roles in her life. She is a daughter, a wife and a mother. Every woman obviously wants to be a good daughter, a good wife and a good mother too. She has to give lots of love in order to be all these ‘goods’. But just love is not enough to be a good wife. Some skills and qualities are required to be a good wife and of course for a healthy marriage. My advice to all the housewives is to be a good wife and then expect your man to be a good husband! Also it’s easy to be in unconditional love in the earlier stages of a relationship but to continue your relationship with the same spark in the later years you need to do a lot of things.

I dedicate this article to all the married women and those singles ladies out there desiring to settle down as a wife some day.
Here are the qualities that a good wife must have.

1. Quit Nagging
There is a proverb that a nagging wife annoys like a constant dripping. I absolutely agree with that. Who doesn’t get annoyed by nagging? Nagging and complaining constantly may create an unwanted rift in your relationship. It can also become a vicious cycle forcing him to avoid you. This will definitely complicate the things between you and make them worse. How do you expect him to like you if he feels personally attacked by your nagging? Nagging doesn’t work, so just quit it. Ask him nicely and I bet that he’ll definitely consider what you are saying. Remember that a good wife doesn’t nag!

2. Look good, Charm him
Most women believe that it doesn’t matter how they look after marriage. But the truth is it definitely does matter. Married women tend to gain weight, become fat and lose their shape. Ladies, you have to take care that you look attractive even after marriage or else men can find their own way! So it is necessarily important that you captivate all his attention only on you. This will definitely keep him from cheating you. Husbands really love good looking wives. They will do anything to please them!

3. Be Unpredictable, Surprise him often
Even though there is an issue as to whether being unpredictable is a good thing in marriage or not, according to me it just spices up the relationship.
Relationships get boring if they are too predictable. You just have to take care that the unpredictable things you do are not disturbing! Surprising your husband with thoughtful gifts every now and then, special candle light dinners or even special romantic nights with you playing the seductress will help you grab his attention! Even small surprises like making his favourite snack or dish once in a while will do. You can also come up with some creative ways of surprising him. The central idea is to give him the thrill of surprise and remember that men like surprises too! I personally surprise my wife with special perfumes most times am returning from work. so I believe it will equally spice up the love in the marriage.

4. Organize the house, be a good maid
Keep your house clean and organized. The healthy atmosphere you create in your home will lift his mood. Come up with innovative ideas to make your home a peaceful place for him. Don’t ever feel burdened doing all the chores. It’s not a bad idea after all. Make him dependent on you by doing all his chores. He’ll surely miss you and think about you when you are not around! Let’s be reminded of a quote in this context “A wife is a friend first, a lover second, and third and probably most important, a maid.”

5. All the positive qualities
A good wife is pleasant and she is not rude. To be a good wife you must be warm, kind, affectionate, caring, understanding, positive, obedient and friendly. You should also be responsible, reliable and give him confidence to do anything. All these qualities will make your husband comfortable around you. When your husband returns home after a hard day at work a warm welcoming smile will make his day! You have to possess all these positive qualities. You have to be loyal and support him both in his success and failure. You should be at his side especially in times of hardship. Most important of all respect your husband and you’ll definitely get back his respect!

6. A Guy needs his Space
You must accept that your husband has a life other than you. There are other people too in his life like his family, friends and workmates. He also has his hobbies, interests and passions too. Don’t stop him from having this other life. Give him his space. Let him do whatever he wants to and this will make him love you more. One straight point is that an interfering wife is so irritating. Don’t interfere, don’t irritate and he’ll love you back! This should not in anyway make the husband take undue advantage over the situation.

7. Sexual Intimacy
If a husband is not met with his sexual needs it can be reflected in his mood. If your husband is frustrated, often the reason might be that his sexual desire is not being fulfilled.
One of the reasons why most marriages fail is because of lack of exciting sexual relationship! According to a research the reason why most men cheat is mostly physical whereas for women it is emotional! Make your husband happy in bed. The best way to satisfy your husband is to think in his shoes and give him what he needs.

8. Don’t hide your love
As you may know hiding your love is of no use. Don’t withhold your love. Express it to him. He’ll definitely appreciate that. Join in his activities and spend as much time as is possible with him. Complement and praise him very often. Small gestures are enough to show your love. Remember the special days in his life, celebrate every small occasion in a simple manner that he will enjoy and get unique gifts for him as a token of your love. Bring joy to him with these small but unique ideas and he’ll never forget the special moments and memories you create.

9. Be open with your feelings
A guy will trust you only if you open up to him. Be honest with your husband. Trust him with everything. Don’t keep secrets from him. You can earn his trust this way. Relationships succeed only if there is mutual trust! Make it compulsory to talk to him daily about how his day was spent. Listen to what he says patiently and understand his feelings. Remain calm if any difficult discussion arises and try to sort it out. Assure him that you are there for him. Good communication will strengthen your bond!

10. Compatibility
There are many personality traits that attract you and your husband to each other making you both compatible with each other but they may not hold up over time. And if this dissimilarity arises you can’t suddenly call yourselves incompatible. You should understand that compatibility isn’t something you have but instead it’s something you make. A good wife takes care that she doesn’t grow apart from her husband. She makes herself compatible with her husband. You must be wondering how this can be achieved. The answer is simple, by improving your relationship skills you can get along better with your husband. This includes making compromises and solving your conflicts. You have to tolerate the burden of being bored and dissatisfied. Remember these lines “A perfect wife is one who doesn’t expect a perfect husband”. Create compatibility and eventually you will become soul mates!

You may be having doubts whether this will work out or not but trust me, these things that you do for him will not go unnoticed. In fact these will increase his love for you and even inspire him to do things for you. Also most of the things mentioned in this article are not just mere ideas of a writer. They are the opinions of many experts brought to you in a presentable manner that you can understand!

Villagers in Kapsir, a rural outpost in Boito area in Kericho County, are yet to wrap their minds around probably the shortest marriage and most bizarre separation case ever to happen in their locale.

This is after, perhaps desperate for the slightest of reasons to walk out of her two-month arranged marriage, a woman fed up with her dirty and inconsiderate husband separated from him due to his habit of farting in bed, among other pet peeves.

It is alleged that the man, a tea picker only identified as Serut, is so averse to bathing that his wife had to literally beg him to do so every evening and morning.

That Serut, who is believed to be in his mid-thirties, also had to be sweet-talked to, among other basic hygiene routines, brush his teeth goes on to explain how unhygienic he was.

Tired of pleading with the alleged alcoholic and chain-smoker to observe personal hygiene, the long-suffering woman is believed to have been looking for a way out of the marriage.

The 27-year-old woman, only identified as Jackie, left village mates in stitches after she claimed she could not live with a dirty man who loudly breaks wind in bed and at times laughs about it without apologising or even minding his partner’s feelings.

Perhaps to prove that hell has no furry like a woman scorned, the pissed off woman bore it all to relatives and neigbours, telling them how her husband has to be begged to shower, brush his teeth, change underwear, among other basics, just like a small child.

Interestingly, Serut had been a long-standing bachelor who had to be forced into an arranged marriage by an aunt who was worried of him dying without having sired a child.

Their marriage was barely in its second month, when the fed up woman threw in the towel. She claimed she cannot continue living under the same roof with a dirty man. She asked villagers to empathize with her situation by imagining themselves living with a man who, after sweating in the tea plantation and spending the entire day in gumboots, returns home and gets in bed without bathing, changing underwear and expects a receptive wife in bed during intimacy.

Serut’s family members who had been relieved that he had finally settled down were thrown into panic with the news of his wife leaving, with some trying to plead with her to hang on.

All the attempts failed as the woman stuck to her guns, claiming that their kin was not only dirty but also stingy. Efforts by an embarrassed Serut to calm her down, whilst accusing her of overreacting and giving lame excuses to desert him, fell on deaf ears.

After disgracing and bandying words with him in front of his kin, the woman – with her clothes and other belongings safely tucked into a plastic bag – hopped onto a motor bike and left.

It's also a school where you will never graduate.

It's a school without a break or a free period.

It's a school where no one is allowed to drop out.

assignments for the day.

Important information for folk's (Ladies & Gents) using Microwave in the house or at the office....???

Please read It carefully & don't miss out any point...

When was the last time you checked your microwave for radiation leakage?

Yes, I did say radiation leakage, because any microwave can start leaking radiation any time, for whatever reasons. And such a
leakage is hazardous to humans and pets in the house.

You don't need to call in experts or to send your microwave to the dealer's workshop for a leakage test. That's time consuming,
inconvenient and costly.

Here's how you can test your microwave for
radiation leakage, right in your own house, at no cost.

Just follow these simple steps >>>

1.   Switch-off and un-plug the microwave from the electrical socket.

2.   Place your mobile phone inside the microwave and shut the door.

3.   Using another mobile phone, dial the phone that's inside the microwave.

4.   If the outside phone says "the number you are dialling is not reachable, or is out of coverage area, or is switched off; then your
microwave is safe.

5.   But if the phone inside the microwave lights up and rings, your microwave is leaking radiation. Just throw away the damn thing and get a new one. (Believe me, the medical treatment of the side-effects of
radiation leaks is costlier than the price of maybe 10 new microwaves.)

Remember, just because the door of your microwave appears to shut properly does not conclusively mean that it is not leaking radiation.

Stay safe, and test your microwave regularly at frequent intervals; the frequency of testing depending on the extent of usage, and you are the best judge of that.

PLEASE SHARE THIS INVALUABLE INFORMATION WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS & RELATIVES.

Maybe you can do this while buying a new microwave oven.                                                                    

We hate to deliver depressing news, but the fact is, some chest sag is inevitable. Having a baby, breastfeeding, and racking up more birthdays all contribute to a loss of elasticity of collagen, the connective tissue under the skin—leaving your set more deflated than firm. Sag can also be a matter of genetics. If your mother had a droopy pair, you might be predisposed to one, too (thanks, Mom!).

Here’s the thing: Some b00b behaviors that seem like they have nothing to do with sag can actually contribute to it—so if you avoid them, your br**sts will be better off. And considering that a recent UCLA study found that chest tissue ages two to three years faster than the rest of your body, you might want to quit any habit linked to a flaccid pair—like these.

1. Crash Dieting
Cycling back and forth between the same five to 10 pounds probably won’t make a dent in your set. But yo-yo dieting 30 or so lbs over and over? Definitely. Each time you gain and lose weight, chest tissue becomes more slack, kind of like old tights, says Michael Edwards, M.D., a chest surgeon and president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

2. Smoking
Even your br**sts can’t escape the damage cigarettes do. “Any amount of smoking weakens and ages skin by decreasing the blood supply to the skin surface,” says Edwards.

3. Skipping Sunscreen
Exposing your face to UV rays without a protective coating of sunscreen can lead to premature wrinkles, and it has the same effect on chest sag by stretching out collagen and damaging skin, says Edwards.

4. Wearing an Unsupportive Bra 
Whether it’s the boulder holder you wear during the day or the sports bra you change into at the gym, not sporting proper support is a big reason for droop. “The more your b**bs bounce around, the more stressed chest skin and collagen become,” says Edwards. Stop in a lingerie shop and ask for a fitting just to make sure you’re wearing the right bra for your shape.

5. High-Impact Workouts
The research is scant right now, but some experts say that the back-and-forth repetitive motions that happen when you run or do a similar workout can lead to a breakdown of chest collagen. But before you swear off the track or treadmill, read up on the details (and keep in mind that exercise helps you keep up a youthful appearance in other ways).

1. Popcorns are normally fried in the same pot, in the same oil, at the same time and under the same heat conditions,But they do not all pop at the same time.

2. When flood comes, fish eat ants and when flood recedes, ants eat fish, Only time matters.

3. To make soap, oil is required and to clean oil, soap is required. This is the irony of life.
Everybody needs somebody at any one point in time. Do not despise or treat anyone with scorn when they are excelling or failing more than you. There is time for EVERYTHING and for EVERYONE.Keep TRUSTING in God and WAITING for your turn. Your time to POP will come at God's appointed time. NEVER GIVE UP! He makes all things beautiful in his own time.

To understand what life is,  you have to visit three locations:
1. The hospital,
2. The prison and
3. The Cemetery.

At the Hospital,
you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than health.

In prison,
you'll see that freedom is the most precious thing.

At the cemetery,
you will realize that life is worth nothing, the ground we walk today will be our roof tomorrow.

Let us therefore remain humble by having the fear of God and respect for everyone in our society.

May the grace and mercy of the Almighty God follow us everyday.

This is a teaching done by my friend who is a marriage counselor,  Pastor Samuel Olagbenjo.
A message exclusively for soon-to-be married couples. Please read and get wisdom.

The wedding time is one of the most important points in a person’s lifetime, and everyone desires to have a great wedding.

The preparation for a wedding ceremony is not a uphill task if you know what it takes and follow the right principles.
Wedding is an official ceremony that signifies the commencement of a new home.
So you just got engaged and you’re thinking about how you’re going to plan your wedding. You’ve made the right move.
Here are 31 things to do when you and your partner have agreed to marry.

1. Pray: I and wife prayed and fasted every wednesday of the week while planning for our wedding. That made our wedding one of the best in the world.
So many don't pray while planning for their weddings. That's why the enemy take advantage of their joyful day.

Prayer is so important to the success of your wedding because it is a supernatural force that can ensure your efforts are successful. Pray as you make plans for your wedding. Pray about the wedding day, the officiating ministers, both families, weather condition of the proposed date, the photographers, videographer, their cameras and their equipments, the caterers and the meal to be cooked for the day. Pray against disappointment from any quarters. Pray and put your trust in God to supply your needs.

2. Attend Pre-marital Counseling. Don't think you know all about marriage. Go for pre-wedding counselling and make sure you complete your marriage class. Speak to a professional marriage counsellor, not just your pastors. Read at least 15 marriage books before your wedding day. You can even attend a marriage school.

Some of the courses you will be taught are: Christian Marriage, Forgiveness In Marriage, Adjustment in marriage, How To Relate With Your in-law, Sex in marriage, Understanding Your Spouse, Pregnancy, How To Train Your Children, Killers Of Marriage, Temperament in marriage, Gender differences in marriage, Romance, Finance in marriage and many more

3. Decide what sort of wedding you want to have and make up a budget. Some people spend all they have and even borrow to finance their wedding. It’s not advisable. Set a budget that you can fund without necessarily crossing a line. Then get to work with that.

4. Set up a planning team. That’s if you don’t prefer to hire a wedding planner. This team could comprise few of your close friends. You can brainstorm with them and they can go through all the pre-wedding stuff with you. You could really use their ideas and assistance.

5. Arrange to meet your partner’s parents and also for them to meet yours. You want to get to know your prospective in laws beforehand and you want your partner to get to know your people too.

6. Pick a wedding date. Once everyone has pitched in and the coast is clear, pick a date that you can work with.  It doesn’t have to be specific to a day at first. You could pick a month for the time being and start working toward that. Then later when things are shaping up you can set a specific date.

7. Start planning your guest list. Which people are you looking to invite for your wedding? It’s time to write some names and envisage what guests you’d like to see on your special day.

8. Start looking for venues for your ceremonies. Venues get booked up often. Make enquiries, look out on time and do a shortlist of the ones you intend to consider.

9. Shop for your wedding gown. You don’t want to leave this very important part of your big day to the last minute.

10. Envision how the wedding will look like. What will you serve the guests? What type of entertainment would you like at the event? Will it be a DJ or a band? Start figuring these things out and let your planning team weigh in on that too.

11. Link up with the professionals. Ask your friends to link you up with professionals you’ll need for your wedding including the caterers, MC, the photographers and so on. Then get in touch with those you think can do the job.

12. Start drawing up a list of expenses for the wedding. You’ve checked out the venue you want to use. You’ve spoken to the people you’ll be hiring to work at your wedding. Start piecing the costs together and look it over with your team and your partner.

13. Make your bookings. You want to book with the DJ, the MC, the band and any other people you intend to hire early. You also want to book the venue for the reception. The earlier you book with the people, the better.

14. Pick wears for the wedding. Figure out what styles and colours your people will be wearing.

15. Start planning your honeymoon. Get a nice hotel or travel out of the country for your honeymoon if you have the money. Don't be like a prayer warrior brother who took his wife to a prayer mountain after their wedding ceremony. So sad. That's not the time to kill demon.  That's the time to have beautiful sex and romance.

16. Purchase your wedding rings and your wedding bible.

17. Start shopping for the clothes you and your people will wear for the ceremonies.

18. Decide what type of wedding cake you’ll want and book with the designer who will make it.

19. Send out your invitations about two months ahead so your prospective guests have enough time to plan to attend.

20. Book your stylist and figure out what hairstyle you’ll rock on the big day. Also book a makeup artist and do some trials to test out stuff.

21. Apply for a marriage license. Check with the local registry.

22. Be in touch with your people. Ring your bridesmaids and groomsmen and make sure they know how things are coming along. Keep in touch with those who will be working at your wedding (caterers, MC and so on) and fine tune your arrangements with them.

23. Create a wedding program to hand out to guests.

24. Iron out reception plans with the caterer and the other professionals who will be on the ground at the reception.

25. Give ceremony venue managers a schedule of delivery and setup times plus contact numbers so that everyone’s on the same page.

26. Make sure you’ve paid those you hired before the wedding.

27. Present parents and each other with gifts.

28. Introduce your venue manager to your best man or maid of honour for questions or problems during the reception.

29. Assign a friend or relative to be the photographer’s contact so he knows who is who.

30. Remember to thank friends, family and workers who helped to make your wedding succeed.

31. Enjoy A Happy Married Life.

A man reached 70 years of age and was affected by a disease which made him unable to urinate.

The doctors told him that he needs an operation to cure the disease.

He agreed to do the operation as the problem was giving him severe pain for days.

When the operation was completed the doctor gave him a bill which covered all the costs.

After looking at the bill, the man started crying. Upon seeing this, the doctor said "If the cost is too high then we could make some other arrangements for you.

"The old man replied, "I am not crying because of the money but I am crying because God let me urinate for 70 years and He never sent me a bill!"

Beloved, have you thanked God for His countless blessings today?

Have you thought about the cost of oxygen in the hospital? Yet, God has given us free oxygen (air) since we were born.

 Can we not see that God is so gracious, merciful and full of compassion?

If you are truly grateful to God for your life, share this message with others, not because you expect a blessing but because you are grateful.

I'm grateful!!!

BEWARE AND BEWARNED!
Many young people are increasingly dying as a result of kidney disease.

HOW TO AVERT THE MENACE OF KIDNEY DISEASE:

1. Stop delaying going to a toilet.
Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea.
A full bladder can cause bladder damage.
The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly.
Once the urine refluxes back to the urether and kidneys, toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and nephritis, plus uremia.
When nature calls do it as soon as possible.

2. Eating too much salt.
You should eat not more than 5.8 grams of salt daily.

3. Eating too much meat.
Too much protein in your diet is harmful for your kidneys.
Protein digestion produces ammonia – a toxin that is very destructive to your kidneys. More meat equals more kidney damage.

4. Drinking too much caffeine.
Caffeine is a component of many sodas and soft drinks. It raises your blood pressure and your kidneys start suffering.
You should cut down the amount of Coke, Pepsi, Red Bull, etc that you drink daily.

5. Not drinking water.
Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to perform their functions well.
If we don’t drink enough, the toxins can start accumulating in the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid to drain them through kidneys.

***Drink more than 10 glasses of water daily.
There is an easy way to check if you are drinking enough water: Look at the colour of your urine; the lighter the colour, the better.

6. Late treatment.
Treat all your health problems properly and have your health checked regularly.
Beloved and my dear, let's help ourselves...

year old son would go out into their town and
hand out Gospel Tracts
This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came
time for the Pastor and his son to go to the
streets with their tracts, it was very cold
outside, as well as pouring rain
The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest
clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.'
His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready for what?'
'Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together
and go out.'
Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and
it's pouring rain.'
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking,
'But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even
though it's raining?'
Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this
weather.'
Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go?
Please?'
His father hesitated for a moment then said,
'Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be
careful son.'
'Thanks Dad!'
And with that, he was off and out into the rain.
This eleven year old boy walked the streets of
the town going door to door and handing
everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract .
After two hours of walking in the rain, he was
soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY
LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked
for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets
were totally deserted.
Then he turned toward the first home he saw
and started up the sidewalk to the front door
and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but
nobody answered.
He rang it again and again, but still no one
answered. He waited but still no answer.
Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to
leave, but something stopped him.
Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell
and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He
waited, something holding him there on the
front porch!
He rang again and this time the door slowly
opened.
Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking
elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do
for you, son?' With radiant eyes and a smile
that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am,
I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to
tell you that * JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU *
and I came to give you my very last Gospel
Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His
great LOVE..'
With that, he handed her his last tract and
turned to leave.
She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you,
son! And God Bless You!'
Well, the following Sunday morning in church
Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service
began, he asked, 'Does anybody have testimony
or want to say anything?'
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly
lady stood to her feet.
As she began to speak, a look of glorious
radiance came from her face, 'No one in this
church knows me. I've never been here before.
You see, before last Sunday I was not a
Christian. My husband passed on some time ago,
leaving me totally alone in this world. Last
Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day,
it was even more so in my heart that I came to
the end of the line where I no longer had any
hope or will to live.
So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the
stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened
the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then
stood on the chair and fastened the other end
of the rope around my neck. Standing on that
chair, so lonely and broken-hearted I was about
to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of
my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought,
'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go
away.'
I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell
seemed to get louder and more insistent, and
then the person ringing also started knocking
loudly...
I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could
this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to
see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck and
started for the front door, all the while the bell
rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked I could
hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front
porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy
I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could
never describe it to you!
The words that came from his mouth caused my
heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE
as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice,
'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS
REALLY DOES LOVE YOU .' Then he gave me this
Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.
As the little angel disappeared back out into the
cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly
every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up
to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't
be needing them any more.
You see-- -I am now a Happy Child of the KING.
Since the address of your church was on the
back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to
personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel
who came just in the nick of time and by
so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in
hell.'
There was not a dry eye in the church. And as
shouts of praise and honour to THE KING
resounded off the very rafters of the building,
Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the
front pew where the little angel was seated..
He took his son in his arms and sobbed
uncontrollably.
Probably no church has had a more glorious
moment, and probably this universe has never
seen a Papa that was more filled with love &
honour for his son... Except for One.

Reports of kidnapping have become common in Nigeria. Though not a new trend, kidnappers have continued to devise new methods to lure victims. Below are some of the new tricks to watch out for:

1. Ploy at parties
In this method, a note is dubiously passed to the master of ceremonies requesting the owner of an identified vehicle to come out and move his or her vehicle to allow others parking access. Immediately the individual gets to his car, the kidnappers grab the person and zoom off in the car.

This was what happened to Mr. Remi Olakunri who was kidnapped at a party venue in Lagos some months ago.

Olakunri, who drove an SUV to the venue, heard his car’s number plate called out by the emcee, requesting him to step outside to move his vehicle. As Olakunri got to his car, three men grabbed him and forced him to drive off in his vehicle. Over N1m ransom was paid before his abductors released him.

2. Road blocks
The modus operandi of kidnappers includes mounting road blocks on highways in military uniforms and staging a surprise attack on unsuspecting motorists.

An All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant in Ondo State, Victor Olabimtan, was abducted by gunmen after he declared his interest to contest the state’s governorship election.

Olabimtan was on his way to Abuja when some persons in military attire, who dubiously manned a road block on the expressway kidnapped him.

3. Disguising as church members
There have been several reports of how kidnappers found their way into churches, disguised as church members and waited for the service to end before carrying out their criminal act.

A pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Isawo branch, Ikorodu, Lagos, was recently abducted by gunmen who disguised as members of the church and whisked him away after the service.

4. Isolated ATMs
According to a security expert, Mr. Pedro Ayandokun, kidnappers now target isolated automated teller machines with long queues of customers.

“These kidnappers look out for the last person in a queue because such individual will be an easy target for them. Nigerians should avoid using isolated ATMs even during the day. Bank customers should always use ATMs within the confines of a bank,” he said.

5. Fake job interviews
Text messages for job interviews are randomly sent to the mobile phones of persons who did not apply for the job. Their agenda is to get desperate job seekers to an arranged venue and hold them before contacting their relatives to pay ransom.

A victim, Mr. Segun Abiodun, who travelled to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for a job interview was abducted by those who purportedly had a job offer for him. His abductors initially demanded N5m before it was reduced to N2m.

6. Neighbours as bait
Security agencies have constantly warned Nigerians against opening their doors for neighbours at odd hours.

It had been observed that kidnappers, rather than heading for the house of their potential victim directly, use the person’s neighbour to knock on the door or gate of their potential victim. Their belief is that their target would open the door for the neighbour.

7. Luring children with gifts
Two months ago, Bayo Adeyemi, a male pupil of a school in Okokomaiko area of Lagos State, was kidnapped on his way home after closing hours.

Bayo and his brother were on their way home when the kidnappers, who were in a bus, accosted them on the road and gave the elder brother N100 to buy candy and biscuits. The victim offered to run the errand with his younger brother but they ordered him to leave his brother behind.

While returning from the errand, he discovered that the bus was leaving. Being a child, rather than raise the alarm, he ran home to alert his mother and before they arrived at the scene, the kidnappers had disappeared with his brother.

Commenting on the development, a security consultant, Mr. Simon Udie, said every Nigerian should be extremely vigilant.

“Nigerians should observe every strange happening around them. The criminal mind is just as good as an intelligent mind, they try to use new tactics to lure their victims,” he said.

8. Switching off generators
When kidnappers identify a house that is easily penetrable, especially at night, they locate where the electricity switch box is and disconnect the power source. They wait for any of the occupants to come out to check what might have happened. In the process, he or she is kidnapped. They may also switch off generator to lure their target.

Mr. Tunji Ajayi who resides in Agbado/Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area of Lagos State could have fallen victim but for his suspicion.

He said his generator was switched off after some persons gained entry to his compound. He told our correspondent that when they noticed that he didn’t come out after they had waited for hours; they walked out of his compound.

9. Pretending as relatives
The ninety-year-old father of Mr. Oluwole Adalumo, who owns a hotel in Ikole, Ekiti State, Ajagunna Adalumo fell victim to this technique. He was kidnapped from his house at Oke-Ijebu, Ikole Ekiti. Bimbo Ajayi, who is a relative of the victim, said the kidnappers came into the premises of the aged man around 8pm. Ajayi said a man entered the house of Pa Adalumo under the pretence that the victim’s son sent him to the old man. He later drove him away in a car he brought.

10. Lifts
As much as many would want to offer help to persons in need, giving strangers a lift could be a wrong move. There was a report last year of one Mrs. Abike Lawal who visited a popular shopping mall in Lagos. As she was about to leave, she noticed that one of her tyres had been slashed.

In her disturbed state, a friendly, well-dressed and articulate young man showed up like a knight in shining armour to help her. After assisting her, he asked for a ride to where he said he parked his car. Without waiting for her response, he entered the car but the woman suspected foul play and excused herself to buy something.

She went to a security guard and told him what happened. The security guard went with her to the car but the young man had left.

In 2013, a report by Sheriff Deputies Limited, a private Security Company in Nigeria, stated that the South-West had the highest incidence of kidnapping with five per cent, followed by the South-East and South-South with four per cent each.

It noted that North-West and North-East each had an incidence of three per cent, with the lowest being North-Central at two per cent.

The Lagos State Police Command said between January and June this year, there were 19 cases of kidnappings.

The spokesperson for the command, Dolapo Badmos, told SUNDAY PUNCH that 15 suspected kidnappers had been charged to court.

Badmos also said culprits involved in robbery and pipeline vandalism had turned to kidnapping.

She added that some of the communities vulnerable to kidnapping are those close to waterways, because kidnappers could quickly escape with their victims without encountering an immediate chase by residents or security officials.

A security consultant, Mr. Bunmi Odukoya, said kidnapping of Nigerians had increased.

Odukoya said, “Criminals know that police are rarely contacted after a kidnap and that families are quick to pay ransom for the release of their relatives. Kidnappers can be particularly brutal and can physically assault their victims and those delivering ransoms.”

Insufficient security agents

The current number of police officers is said to be about 370,000 to about 170 million Nigerians.This fell short of the United Nations recommendation of 222 police officers per 100,000 persons.

President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the recruitment of 10,000 policemen into the nation’s Police Force to reinforce the police for better service.

Another security expert and Chairman Mentorship Committee, American Society for Industrial Security, Abuja Chapter, Prof. Femi Adegbulu, said it appeared that the law enforcement agents had lost the battle to kidnappers.

“Most cases of kidnap are between you and your God. It depends on your negotiating power for your loved one to be freed, if kidnapped. We hear reports saying no ransom was paid, but those criminals are not foolish. These criminals risk their lives to kidnap an individual, and they know that if caught, they would be jailed or face death penalty. Why then would they kidnap someone and not get money?’’ he stated.

Badmos said parents have a moral and physical duty to protect their children.

She added, ‘‘People living close to waterways should be sensitive and extremely security conscious. We have foiled about two kidnap attempts in partnership with the communities involved.”

It’s more than 20minutes, I’m still unable to put words together to begin this story. I will try keep it simple and necessarily detailed so everyone will understand the true picture of what happened, why against my belief that writing personal experiences on social media is immature, I had to still write mine. Let’s just say I’m not thinking right now, maybe I’m so upset but truth is, I need your advice.

I’m writing this thread seated at the back of a Hilux truck just outside our apartment.

You see, today is EID and believe me I should be resting in the house since I’m not working today.

Days like this only come by 6times in a whole year and more than anything, I
would have loved resting than being out here.

It was yesterday evening, she called and said she and her driver were headed to my office. She wanted to pick some stuffs
around my office. Yaa, I forgot to say this is Saudi Arabia.

If you know Saudi quite well, you will agree with me that a husband will definitely get exhausted running errands for his wife or the family. I was not in the mood for shopping but she wanted to shop. She got upset that I didn’t want to
accompany her shopping.

She did her shopping alone and returned few minutes before I closed from work. We headed home.

Unknown to me, I forgot my internet router in my office because I was
rushing to get home and continue with my FIFA 16.

Her internet service expired some days back so we were using mine.

While playing game, she walked into the sitting room and demanded for my router. Mine, not hers. With her tone and facial expression demanding the router.

I didn’t respond because there was an indication that she was warming up for a quarrel. I wasn’t just in the mood. The thing is, she is very skilled in extending her anger phases. That is one thing I can’t understand till today. Believe me, it was not like this while we were dating. Sorry, I forgot to tell you I
married my university girlfriend, she is years my junior and the same department. Yes, I’m one of those guys that dated and planned for the future with their girls at the same time.

God blessed that plan but at this point I don’t understand everything that has been happening for the past one year
plus since we got married.

She repeatedly demanded that I
handed over my router to her but I was quiet. Meanwhile, it occurred to me that I forgot the router in my office the minute she first asked about it. Truth is, I actually needed to use the internet that night for my online FIFA.

After several times of asking for the router and no response from me, she took the TV remote and switched off the TV.
She walked straight to the kitchen and hid the remote. I approached her in the kitchen and told her I was not ready
for any kind of quarrel. We have had enough for the past one year of getting married.
I then told her I forgot the router in my office, I didn’t have it. I guess she didn’t believe me, she never did. She told me to leave her alone. I returned back to
the sitting room with my heart beating fast. I knew she wanted a serious quarrel that night. After some minutes, I returned to the kitchen and requested for the remote.

Then I figured out she hid it in her pant. Pretending I was passing by, I swiftly went for the remote from under her short gown and grabbed it. She didn’t expect I knew where she hid it.
She followed me behind and ceased the game console,
second indication she wanted me to react. I do have a problem with my temper just like every human, male or
female. I have also learnt to deal with it by walking away at times I feel I was going to lose it. The same reason I’m
outside at this time, 9:55 pm Saudi time.

She knows I have fought hard to tame my temper issues but most times, she makes deliberate efforts to have me overreact to her nags and rants.

I watched her hide the console in her pant yet again. I shuddered in obvious fear because I knew what the woman
wanted, a fight. Unable to deal with it, the intimidation and the shame, I went for the console and squeezed it out from
her hand while she was trying to hold it tight.

That was when the trouble then started. She wanted a buffer to help her spill everything she had nursed in her mind.
“You are a violent person!! You can kill, idiot!! You were not shown love
by your parents, that is why you will squeeze your wife’s hand to collect the console.
They allowed you to grow up in the street without parental guidance and love.”

Then it came….pwaaaaaaah!!! She spat on my face!!!!! God knows,
I have never been spat at before, not by my parents, not by my siblings, not by anybody. ” I agree I was not shown love
by my parents but your Dad is a coward for running away from your mother without being there for you guys when he
needed to play his roles as a father. That explains the reason you are like this”, I said and walked back to the sitting room.

I managed to play a few games which I lost mostly and then slept off around past 5am this morning.

Around 3pm, I woke up and went to the office. Not like I had work but I needed to clear my head away from the house. If only there was alcohol in Saudi, I would have been somewhere in a hotel drinking away the shame.

When I returned home by past 7pm, hungry and tired. I needed to continue my game but I could no longer find the game console and the TV remote. I asked for it and she ignored me. I managed to eat
and then left the house to this truck.

You see, I love my wife more than anything, more than anyone. She is one person in the whole world I could go any length for. I love her, that was why I forgave her when she broke up with me after I left Nigeria for Saudi Arabia.
She broke up with me few months after I came to Saudi and started dating another guy twice her age.
She says she never expected I would come back to her after she left me
but I did. I did because I saw a future with her, a future I imagined, believed in and worked towards its reality.

Today, we have gotten to a level where most people out there would want to be.
Our colleague's envy is because they
believe we are privileged and blessed but what they don’t know is that in the truth, I have no peace.
This marriage has become my legacy and my curse.

I want to send her back to Nigeria in few days time and I hope I’m not making a mistake!!! Spitting on my face, nah
nah….am so fed up!!!!
