No more Christmas Friction

citifmonline.com "Wife: Honey Christmas is approaching. Husband: Thanks for reminding me. Can't wait. Wife: Get me a Tablet for Christmas. Husband: Really? Wife: Yeah. Husband: Paracetamol or Vitamin C? Wife: I mean Samsung Tablet baby Husband: Relax!! It's Jesus Birthday not yours."  Truth be told, I thought the short story was hilarious but from experience I know it could lead to marital feuds and nobody enjoys fighting at Christmas. We all deserve to have a Merry Christmas and even if you feel your relationship is beyond fixing, I still believe this article by Joan Thatiah might do the needed magic. Oh, before we start, you can read up my previous articles on gifts Here . Okay, let's do this:

Pursuit of Happiness

credit - Qed.ng Do you feel unhappy with your current status?  Do you feel there is something you should sacrifice or gain just to become happier?   Are you in pursuit of happiness?  I'm guessing you have heard the phrase; money makes the world go round . If so, then probably you believe that being broke or having no money would make your world stagnant or go into Pause Mode . It therefore follows that; No Money means Pause Mode which would invariably result in Unhappiness. If the above rightly describes how you feel about Happiness, then this article is for you:

N421 Million...

If you were paid N421Million for being a good citizen of Nigeria what would you do? I have been pondering over that question ever since it was confirmed that the REAL Ikoyi whistle blower who assisted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to recover $43.5 million, £27,800 and N23.2 million at No. 16 Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, yesterday received N421Million commission by the ministry of Finance.

Rice again?

Pic credit: knorr.ng  It's Christmas again and you are probably thinking; rice is expensive, how we go do? My question is; must we eat rice every Christmas? Nigerians are extremely inlove with "rice". Every special occasion without Jollof rice; white rice with sauce and/or fried rice is like committing a heinous crime. People would eat whatever you have to offer and still be on the look out for their tasty rice, whoever  did us this thing sha!

They are usually very helpful, cheap or affordable, if you prefer. We have tight schedule and can't imagine life without them. But the big question is; Can you trust them? Can you sleep peacefully with that stranger in your home? Did you even check him or her out before making them permanent members of your home? Were you too busy to conduct a proper check or too excited at the cheap labor that you forgot to ask for a guarantor? Are  you sure they are not ex-convicts, pedophiles, murderers, kidnappers or terrorists? Okay okay, someone wants to quote verses from the Holy Bible and  Quran for me. Yeah, I know the gospel of Matthew 25:35 says; “ For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me " and the Quran in 1

Call me the lady who saw tomorrow, but I saw this coming. I remember mentioning (private gossip group) that Imolites must be in love with their governor as the only "we no go gree" we hear are on social media. We can't blame them, wars are now being fought on Twitter. Some nation's are being ruled from there too... I didn't say anything .
