ON HER PATH TO DESTINY. True life story

-
        
                         Her heart raced as she clutched her bag closer to her side while looking left and right, she increased her pace. She checked her wristwatch, it was few minutes past 1a.m and she was still on the streets of Lagos. 'How come?' was a question that seemed to be irrelevant at that hour. She shivered with cold because the drizzles had gotten heavier and she still had about 30 minutes walk to her destination, her uncle's house. Her phones were off and she couldn't reach him at least to tell him to come pick her.
        Different scenarios of stories she had heard about girls that had been abused and molested at night, but she knew she couldn't stop going even though she wasn't sure of what lies in wait for her, though, she was sure she wasn't alone, God must know about this late journey. Drenched in the rain, she kept moving knowing fully well that she had to get to get destination anyhow that night. No stopping, no slowing.
        As she drew nearer, she saw traces of light, she wasn't sure it wasn't fire, her heart began to beat fast, since stopping was not an option,she kept moving. As she moved closer, she saw clearly that it was fire from a suya joint. 'Suya, by this time of the night, hm, who buys them?' she thought to herself but then she realised she was really hungry, so she decided to get some for herself. 'Oga, I no get #100, na #50 I get, abeg sell for me', 'nagode oga (thank you oga)' She wrapped up the suya paper and threw it away (not minding the 'keep lagos clean' After all, it's night), satisfied to an extent, 'Thank God!' she muttered.
      She checked her time again, it was almost 2a.m and she was now closer to her destination, her heart skipped for joy. The loud music and noise from a club across the street gave her mixed feelings, so she hastened her steps until she had moved a distance from the bar...

WATER, A CURE FOR DANDRUFF!

-
For about six years before now, I struggled with dandruff on my hair. I tried several means just to cure this hair ailment but to no avail. I did the two-week interval washing, I used several kinds of antidandruff treatment, at a point I even thought it was something that should be dealt with internally and I had to use antibiotics and herbs, still the dandruff persisted. It got so frustrating that I almost took it as a fate because each time I applied oil, my scalp got dried almost immediately making it seem like I never applied cream or oil for days. I changed shampoos, hair creams and treatments, I used shea butter, olive oil, EVO, and even all combined, I remember a friend calling me 'danddy' because that name sounded like an abbreviation for dandruff, plus the dandruff usually caused a painful scalp for me. Finally, thank God for my friend, Angela who made me understand.that dryness is not necessarily caused by lack of oil but more importantly, lack of water and so, she ...

      I'm not in a very good position to give relationships advice. But, during one of my reflection times some days back, I realized by the Spirit of God, how much power of choice we have as females when it comes to whom we give our heart to, who we get to marry, who we get to give the chance of a date with us.      The question is; If we have this power, why then do we still make choices we later regret. The truth is that, some of these mistakes, or factors causing these mistakes can be avoided through several ways of which the most important is seeking the heart desire of the creator of man himself. He sees and knows what we don't, he knows the end from the beginning, and the beginning from the end.       Therefore, one of the most important things is to seek the will of God, which will guide you in choosing rightly.       In case you didn't know, your relationships can make you a more beautiful and complete woman or o...
