DEFINITIONS



All humans want to set a legacy in this world before passing to the land beyond. Thus lots of things are put together on a daily basis to achieve this feat without compromising the real reach which is heaven. Wealth, health and a good name is a piece of what we sum up as a success in this life we live just once. 

If the world can no longer cater for you; death becomes the next essence. What do we really need? Who do we really need to survive? How much do we really need every day?  Different religions have different views and generally we all worship one God. Why the divisions in this one body of God through our different meanings. We all don’t understand because the vastness between the mystic and the ordinary is extreme. With the following definitions I think we would be able to understand why our world have been what it is today with us creating meaning at no meaning precisely.


Who constitute the world we live in and what do we see it to be. It could be argued anyway by anybody but these are my submissions……
Doctor: a person who kills your ills by pills, and kills you with his bills.
Politician: one who shakes your hand before elections and your confidence after.
Boss: someone who is early when you’re late and late when you’re early.
Criminal: a guy no different from the rest, except he got caught.
Father: a banker provided by nature.
Miser: a man who lives poor so that he can die rich
Diplomat: a person who tells you to go to hell in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip.
Philosopher: a fool who torments himself during life, to be spoken of when dead.
Atom bomb: an invention to end all inventions
Experience: the name men give to their mistakes
ETC: a sign to make others believe that you know more than you actually do.
Yawn: the only time some married men get to open their mouth.
Office: a place where someone can relax after a strenuous home experience
Dictionary: a place where divorce comes before marriage.
Tears: the hydraulic force by which masculine will power is defeated by feminine water power
Ecstasy: a feeling when you feel you are going to feel a feeling you have never felt before.
Compromise: the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everybody believes he got the biggest piece.
Conference: the confusion of one man multiplied by the number present.
Cigarette: a piece of tobacco rolled in paper with fire at one side and a fool at the other side.
Classic: a book which people praise, but do not read
Marriage: It's an agreement in which a man loses his bachelor degree and a woman gains her master
Lecture: An art of transferring information from the notes of the lecturer to the notes of the students without passing through "the minds of either"

You can add some more definitions and oppose those you think I’m wrong.

THE SECRET PAINS OF A PROSTITUTE PART 1

It‘s 3.42 am in the morning and its’ two days after my supposed wedding. Sleep is the last thing on my mind right now. With all these pain and trauma my family is going through: questions without answers, curses being rained, prayers being offered and all sorts, the truth is my family and I are in pains for my acts of old, reflecting in the present. When you read this I might have taken all the poisons close to me and died. I can’t stand this. There is no remedy for me. I have messed up so well that even pastors know I can’t revive the personality that I today destroyed. I don’t know if God can forgive me and I’m sure magazines like hints and hearts would carry my news. I’m really ruined. With this title, it’s obvious I’ve had sex in return for money or favours which is called prostitution, but I’m not like every other prostitute. I feel like talking about this, because right now, I’m regretting what I did sometimes ago. The trend was changing and we followed suit li...

A TRIP TO NOWHERE PART 1

Lost in transit; deceived in person, explicitly managed, punished extremely and loved unconditionally. These were some of the attributes experienced in a relationship, which was a trip to nowhere. It all seemed a just course until the course was lost. The turbulence on the high sea of life became a call to my creator for help. I was deluded in my thoughts, and lost all inner strengths. All I needed to do was to apologize in person, but I was looking for a ghost. This is a true life story about truth and lies, love and deceit, family and friends, life and death. Fasten your seat belt as I take you on a trip. It was a three hour trip from Ibadan to Ado-Ekiti where I school. I haven’t seen my mum for two years now; she had gone for a course in USA. Reading at old age divides your family I guess. The holiday was a family reunion. Mummy, auntie Bose, Damola (my only sister) she schools in Ghana and my daddy of course; he had always been around, were all in our new GRA house...

A TRIP TO NOWHERE PART 5

The drive took almost forever with many checkpoints. Mumsy was constantly giving Police officers money to avoid their delays. In four hours we were in Ekiti state to appeal to the goddess called Tolani. I managed after two misses to locate the hostel and fortunately for us we saw some other occupants. We approached a particular ugly structure; the ugliest structure of a woman I ever saw before and after that day. I was pushed to ask her the necessary questions, because I was the person who brought them there. I was relieved when she said she knew Tolani. She asked if everything was fine, and I said yes but inside of me was a tremor I needed to expel. My auntie took on with the talking to explain in a mode of no suspicion. I listened as she asked her that we need to see Tolani. She surprisingly asked again: please is anything the matter, in defense of her friend. ‘No!’ we said, asking just to see her. The gesture changed instantly to a friendly one. She then replied that ...
