STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART posted by Odeniran Deborah Olamide



 
I’ve always had this article stuck in my head but had to lay low because I didn’t want to start it with just anything. Yea!, I never wanted just a post, I needed  a reference (a living testimony) and Linda Ikeji is just the perfect one I got here. Linda’s last post http://www.lindaikeji.blogspot.com/2013/07/dear-lib-readers-letter-from-me-linda.html#more was one of the reasons I had to get off my shell and just drop it.
I’m gon start with this question ”What motivates you? Or Who motivates you?”. That question might seem deep or the other way round but really that’s not the business here.
From my 1st year in the University of Lagos till this moment, I’ve met ladies, both the good, bad and ugly. I’ve even seen the dumb ones, bitches and intelligent babes. You see miss A with an iPhone 4s and that greedy you would try all means to own an iPad by force by fire.

Beauty fades. Too much of Sex would make you age fast. For how long do you want to keep opening that filthy ass of yours just to get some chicken change. There's no difference between you and a prostitute if you have sex with a guy just to get some cash or the latest gadget. When would you sit down and ask yourself what you can do with your life?  Sad much some ladies just feel its sex, he’ll get into me for some minutes and that’s all. It’s not just about Sex, it’s about what happens in the spiritual realm, it’s a spiritual bond. *I’m not here to preach though*.
My main concern here is when would you sit down, talk to yourself and screw out that confidence in you to do something beneficial in your life. Most babes feel it’s their time, they’re in vogue, they can have this cool fling with any guy that comes. Fine!! Go ahead *ain’t hating on you* I only feel sad for that time you’re wasting.

Linda Ikeji and other successful ladies are great ladies that seems to motivate me. Not married and still a success story. They aren’t men, they are beings like us. They are living cool now because they hustled at the right time. When would you sit down and think of that fame you’d screw out of your name. would it be a positive one or negative one?.  Even if they get married tomorrow, they would still be referred to with their maiden name by the public.  
 
Make Plans. Better still jot them, list all you want, tuck it in your bible, pray on it daily after devotion, always remind yourself of all you want or intend to be. God isn’t asleep. My blue print this year just turns out real in a funny way.  Trying times would come, never let it weigh you down, instead keep reminding yourself  “you’re destined for greatness, this is just a storm, everything would be fine soon. I’ll be a success story”

 Do anything that comes to your mind if it seems sensible. You don’t need people’s view. I remember asking some people for their views when I was about to start blogging.  Some convinced me not to but I still stucked to Pastor Lala’s "JUST DO IT"
If your ex or anyone inspires you to write an article, write it, you might end up writing a book – DEB. Don’t get moved by anyone telling you ‘you just wrote that book ‘cos you’re in pains or cos he jilted you’. The emotional pain that led to the write-up might lead to a positive fame. My blog is no where yet but some comments about my post is enough to tinini Tanana (tickle) my heart (i don't let it get into my head 'cos i know i still have a long way to go).

Move with positive-minded people. Those who believe in you. Those who won’t pick on your flaws but rather build up that confidence in you. Also believe in yourself, think big!. Say positive things to yourself. “I wasn’t born a failure, I can do it, I will make it”.

My business is about we (Ladies). What runs through our thoughts, are we’re so concerned about the future?  Do we have an insight on where we’d be in the next 5 years?  Those who knows me know 
 I plan, I don’t just plan. I say mine alongside because Pastor Lala motivated me through the 1st service in SAF (Sovereign Army Fellowship) this year, she said ‘Just DO IT, and also keep Saying it’. Forget about that hater who’s yimu’ing at or behind you, you’ll definitely recognize them with their bent nose.
 I remembered this close hajia friend of mine who scolds me to stop being so full of myself but backing every wish or plan of God with Insha Allah which means by the grace of God.  Let GOD be your back up.

Yea! And this reminds me of what Dad always tell I and my kid sis, "its not about WHAT you know (your skills, ideas, whatever), its about WHO you know (GOD)". The more you get closer to him, the more things work out fine with ease for you.

 That nigga’s money shouldn’t be our concern, our business should be how we’d make it.  How we’d touch lives . How we’d be a success story. I believe we can.

FEAVA WALLK (CHILD NOT BRIDE) posted by Odeniran Deborah Olamide

My day was hectic! Hectic in the right way though *winks*. It was all about the FEAVA walk, enough of the Violence on the female child!
FEAVA walk had been planned even before the NNA amended the constituition. Was surprised when some peeps asked if the walk was fixed because of the so called "amended" constitution. Saw updates on BBM, "A child, not a bride and all this was because of the "so called constitution" which was amended.

The Nigerian National Assembly on July 17,2013 amended the constitution and changed the laws of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.On this day, the senate altered Section 29 (a) of the constitution that stipulates that a woman shall not be qualified for marriage until she attains 18 years of age, as they deleted age specification for women being married from the draft constitution and left the marriage age for women open.
 Several media reports on the constitutional review debate at the Senate give the impression that underage marriage has been endorsed by the Senate Chambers. Facts are that S.29 of the 1979 Constitution permits a Nigerian citizen of ‘full age’ to renounce his or her citizenship by declaration in a prescribed manner, for which purpose ‘full age’ was stated to be 18 years and above.

The subsection also provides that, ‘any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age’. In its current efforts to review the Constitution, the Senate Committee had determined that the particular subsection should be deleted, basically because citizenship has no bearing on gender, as for example, voting, the right to drive a car, possess a weapon or such similar social interactions that are evolving or are germane to a democratic Nation.
This means that anyone can pick up any girl starting from age zero and get married to her under this new daft amendment. It is no surprise that the sponsor of this amendment is no other than senator Ahmad Sani Yerima, the former Governor of Zamfara State who, about two years ago, took a thirteen year old Egyptian girl as his bride, in violation of the constitution’s provision at that time and when i checked on the list of senators that .
The justification for this new law as presented by the above-named senator was Islamic law. According to him, a female has attained womanhood/adulthood once she is married. In this reverse reasoning, it is not the attainment of maturity or adulthood that qualifies for marriage rather it is marriage that confers adulthood.
Following this recent development, aggrieved citizens decided to stage protest in different states today July 20 2013.
The protest was designed to get people to sign a petition, with the estimate of two million people, that would be submitted to the State Houses of Assembly, chronicling the grouses of the aggrieved persons on the proposed law which many have termed as bad.

This is the most absurd thing any sane government could ever do. With the teeming number of teenage pregnancies and the social and health hazards that we are already battling with makes me wonder if our law makers are really thinking at all.
Join the protest, sign your petition too.

STRICTLY FOR SMART LADIES!

Ladies! I know some guys would troop in here *rme* but never mind. I got great tips for us on how to impress that our crush*winks*. You need that attention of your crush? no worries sis, i got it all. Enjoy!

Stay on top of current events

Hoping to impress your crush? Easy! Tune in to the news, and be aware of what's happening around the world mostly on entertainment gists. If you're like me who finds it hard watching news on TV or listening to raypower fm news. Common what is Linda Ikeji's blog doing or why is Unilag Express so stucked up with gists. I'd rather get all the gists i need through my phone than sit close to the TV cos You and I never want to be that awkward girl out in a conversation because you have absolutely no idea what everyone else is talking about. Men like a woman with some substance. Plus, nowadays, social media especially twitter makes it easier than ever to keep abreast of current events, so really there is no excuse. Do yourself a favor though — if you're not knowledgeable on a subject, don't fake it. Be honest, curious and express a genuine interest in learning more. This will go over much better than getting caught blabbing on a topic you're clearly clueless about.
Expert Tip: "Check out accurate blogs like Unilag Express, Linda Ikeji's, Bella Naija and others every day and read the first paragraph of each major news story. "Get an idea of what is happening in the world so when a conversation comes up you can add something and not just sit there and be blank. We don't expect you to know everything, but in life, knowledge is power."
 

Ask intelligent questions

A surefire way to boost any guy's ego and convince him that you're seriously one smart cookie is by asking intelligent questions you're positive he can answer. For example, let's say he has a pretty unique job: Come up with a clever way to find out more about what he does, while getting the conversation really flowing as well. Be a good listener, and remember to take an active part in the discussion. Witty commentary will likely earn you extra bonus points, as long as it's not at his expense, of course!
Expert Tip: Listen more than you talk, as 50 percent of communication is listening. If a guy says something that is confusing when he's describing his job or passion, ask for more details.  "Men like a woman who is interested in our passions and how we spend our days. It turns us on and makes us feel that you are the cool chick that every guy wants and we have."

Be yourself

One of the most important pieces of advice i can provide you is to simply be yourself. Guys can't help it when a girl acts fake. Don't view a date as a test you need to study for and perform your best on. You'll only come off as sounding unnatural or too practiced and end up flopping. For peace sake, that's not a job interview that you have to get yourself so well prepared. Heck, he might even think you're too smart! If worst comes to worst, he's not into it. And in that case, there are plenty of other fish in the sea that will love, respect and appreciate you for who you are! Ok! im speaking too mush grammer, and in our own words "plenty fishes dey river"
Expert Tip: "Be yourself, but imagine that you are 10 times bolder to boost your self-confidence,".

Talk sports

Yea! guys love football. .  Do you consider yourself a huge sports fan? If so, you're in luck! A great way to get in good with practically any guy is having the ability to talk sports. Strike up a lighthearted conversation about the current game going on, and don't be afraid to offer up your own informed opinion. The key word here is informed though, because if you aren't actually, well, you'll just look silly. Note that you should avoid disturbing them while a match is going on. Football over the girls.
Expert Tip: "Know your home team, and how they've been doing over the past few years. "Remember: a little bit of sports information goes a long way with us cavemen."
 
Conclusively, put on a smile. Your face would look like sshit! when you put on a straight face. Laugh when necessary. The last time i checked, we don't pay bills for that, so don't manage that smile or laugh. Trust me! he'd get so into you and call you up for another date. 
Yea sisters, i rest my case for now and for that bro that sneaked in*learn to listen to simple instruction*.  
I hope we grabbed few tips or all. Stick to it, work on it and feel free to thank me later. If you feel you have other tips to help another confused sister out, hit the comment box or inbox me on auspiciousdeb@gmail.com. Love y'all and have a great weekend ahead. *kisses*

FOR HOW LONG? posted by Odeniran Deborah

 Smiling and confident young woman sitting in car'Lord I must be successful, i need a car soon' was what went through my thoughts in this bus.
 My experience in those rickety Oyingbo Enroute Orile bus and Coasters is enough.
Yea! I board them 'cos that's the only means and shortest route from school to home.
 I could be naggy at times but reallly? for how long do I wanna put on that straight face just to avoid other carefree passengers look to my face and tell me to adjust even when obviously there's no space to do that. Within me, I'd be like you should have told me to pay and just hang rather than sit with half of my ass.
The most annoying aspect is when those fat assed market women hurriedly give a fake smile once you enter and be like 'oya my daughter come sidon here now' . And within me 'Na so? Shey I enter motor make una squeeze me finish like stock fish. Huh!'.
I'd prefer sitting close to the window than squeeze the little me  .
Now I'm tired. I'm tired of sitting close to passengers that'd doze off, can't control their head and jes keep hitting me. Restless naughty cute Babies aint exempted, the ones that'd drag your hair and scratch your face with saliva all over their hand not minding their mom's warning and i end up turning and giving that fake broad smile *even when within me, on a normal ground I can spank your ass for that*.
Arguing with conductors is just that sick aspect of it. I really try to avoid speaking pidgin when I'm out 'alone', I rap pidgin with my friends, you don't wanna hear me speak it but when I'm out I speak english 'cos I believe 'you aint just addressed the way you are dressed but also the way you present yourself'.
But these ever ready Idontcare agressive conductors wouldn't respond to stimuli unless you show them that razz part of you and for real I'm not proud down to cashy aspect. Never!. My 30# change means a lot 'cos unilag cab drivers wee not hear story.
Most times I make sure I split my money to avoid disturbing conductors for change. That shii makes me feel weak. But for real how long do I wanna do this. I'm tired. I still have a year left in school from badAndAngry(badagry) to Akoka.
I know how comfortable I'd feel in my ride and for real I know how naughty I'd turn out to be on wheels. I could be jittery at times but would never mind overtaking that car :p. Right now I wish I could explore 'cos ASUU strike aint helping issues. I need my car :).
Thanks for the read, this' just the best way I can ease my thoughts.
