When She Doesn’t Want You
#LoveWednesday You can kill yourself, Jump up, flex muscles and fight, And even come and go and die But dear, if she doesn’t like you, She just doesn’t like you. And more so, if she doesn’t want you, Then she doesn’t want you. You may be the nicest person to her You may solve problems […]
Twice Beaten
In the matters of Love… ‘Once beaten, twice shy’ is not really about the beating, but the shame that accompanies it. There are several reasons why this shame is killing. One is the ‘shy'(shame) of having to see yourself in such sorry state. Maybe because you have previously thought of yourself to be strong and […]
#LoveWednesday #Adeola-mi Will you recognize me If I show up at the door of your heart, Introducing as the man of your dreams, The one you’ve always prayed for? Will you comprehend it If I tell you I really do like you; How I have sleepless nights thinking of you As you remind me of […]
To The Single Brother
#Lovewednesday My heart goes out to the single brother (and sister), especially the one who has been ‘double’ before; who has once tasted love.

#LoveWednesday (Read part 1 here: http://wp.me/p2D2CT-nF ) Nail three: So…there’s this final guy who is a friend to this girl; not just a friend but a very close one.

Of Christian Brothers and Nails
#LoveWednesday There are types of nails and they come in different sizes and shapes. Of course, I’m not a carpenter, neither the son of any. I’m only referring to the fear of most men-the fear of rejection, the fear of that ever resounding ‘No’-especially the Christian brother. Don’t be fooled. Contrary to the world of […]
The Nature of Love
#LoveWednesday The nature of Love is to grow or die. It can’t be left on a spot unattended It is either serviced by nourishment Or impoverished by neglect Perhaps many of us young people don’t know this We initiate love, and think we can just let it loose We don’t want it to die, Yet […]
What Make Marriages Last Long?
#LoveWednesday What holds couples together? What makes them last long? What binds them forever? What is the motivation that keeps marriages? The thought that God hates divorce?
