The Marriage Decision PART 1 ®www.emmanuelina.blogspot.com " Having pledged guilty to all of the offences charged against you, you are here by sentenced to seven years in prison with hard labour and without bail ". The Judge said. Everybody in the cout room shouted in despire and agony. I couldn't bear it, I fainted on the spot and didn't get to see him before he was taken away. ...What is going to happen to me now. Over five years that I settled down after school I have been praying for a good man who will finally take me to the altar. The few that came my way before now weren't just ready to settle down. And In a blink of an eye I will loose them. It's not my duty to search for me to marry me but I tell you the truth I have done alot of searching ; been to big churches, occasions, parties, meetings and many more deliberately even without being invited just to mingle with people and find myself a good man. Sometimes I succed but still it doesn...

The Marriage Decision PART 2 ®www.emmanuelina.blogspot.com ..........Be either to wait hopelessly for  seven years summed to  nine years before he will settle down and even think of marriage. Or to forsake him and his family in a time like this. But then going into dilemma over who to marry again will be like  another series of deciding either to chew the gum or eat the meat because one has to go for another. Really at this point permit me to say we ladies suffer more than men in the aspect of marriage. Theirs maybe expanses and work issues; but ours is emotions, dilemmas and fears of not falling into the wrong hands in as much as we want to enjoy wealth and comfort. And I think that emotions have a big part to play, after all we also contribute to the Marriage. Don't even try to judge me, wait till it's your turn. Hopefully I will be thirty eight years old when I will be finally married, and  to live with a man who I never knew was guilty of illegal ...

The Marriage Becall PART 1 ® www.emmanuelina.blogspot.com ....Three days after the birthday celebration of my one year old daughter, we lost her to the cold hands of death. It has not been easy for me for the past  four years, since most of my babies that were to survive all returned through blood. My step mother's disturbance and troubles always kept me in intense pressure even more than my husband's family. ...We had alot of people invited for the birthday celebration; my husband's colleagues as well as mine. Family members, friends, neighbors and many more well wishers. I remember telling my husband " darling if you will buy a gift for your daughter, you will have to buy for me also because, it's like mother like daughter and not the other way around ". I saw the joy of fatherhood flowing from this well body built handsome man as he agreed without any argument. Little did we know that our joy was to be gone too soon. ... My step mother ...

The Marriage Becall PART 2 ® www.emmanuelina.blogspot.com .....Everyone returned to their homes, except for my step mother who had been with me. while screaming in the hospital in pain and agony, I started remembering how much we spent, how awesome the occasion went and many other  things. If we had known that she would die three days after her one year old birthday, we wouldn't have gone through such stress and spend that much. How do I explain to my husband and his family. Of course I must be forced to take an oath, I can't bargain that. Why Lord, why?. I echoed and screamed the more. ...... My husband divorced me because he couldn't just stand the pain and embarrassment. My pleadings did more harm than good. I couldn't believe that my so much loving husband will treat me the way he did because of the death of our child. The issue was that we couldn't trace what exactly led to the death of my baby. All the test and scans showed that my baby was alri...

One night four college students stayed out late, partying and having a good time. They paid no mind to the test they had; scheduled for the next day and didn't study. In the morning,  they hatched a plan to get out of taking their test. They covered themselves with grease and dirt and went to the Dean's office.A t once they got there, they said they had been to a wedding the previous night and on their way back, they got a flat tyre and had to push the car back to the campus. The Dean listened to their tale of woe and thought of what to do. He offered them a retest three days later. They thanked him and accepted his offer. When the test day arrived, they went to the Dean. The Dean put them all in separate classes for the test. They were fine with it since they had all studies hard. Then they saw the test, it had just two questions.              QUESTION 1   Your name__________(1 point)           ...

THE DIARY OF AN  ALMAJIRI ( By Japheth Prosper ) ® www.emmanuelina.blogspot.com Life as an almajiri in Kano was very tough. I could still remember how we went about in tens begging for alms and food. It’s really not a life anyone should live. I lived it years ago and could still tell exactly how it hurts; the memory of it and the hellish experiences we had to bear. Almajiri life isn’t a life. It’s like being dead-alive. I lived that life. I was ten when I decided to remove the cloak of destitution and face life squarely. It still remains the turning point in my life and the wisest decision I’d ever taken. I could still remember vividly what led me to take such a decision one afternoon. It was at Sabon Titi Kano. We were nine in number. We had trekked all the way from Bida Road. Ali, my best friend was saying something about how very unfair it was that girls were not allowed to wander about begging as boys did. He said something about girls being lucky and fortunate because ...

This is one of the biggest truth about life..

It's always best to plan your life and follow thus. Time won't wait for you likewise the future.

People will never look at your direction if you have nothing to show. Start something they will come, continue they will stay, advance yourself they will bring others. Keep working hard to change your level. People are not ready to stay with you until you have made it.  But when you have all  what you want that they need, you decides who stays and who goes.  Work on yourself, you won't exhaust three weeks before before you start seeing changes and you can't stop at three weeks when its other people's lifestyle. Learn something new daily, you never can tell when it will be of help to you.  Improve yourself and you get values and respect that makes you a legend. STAY POSITIVE! ~Emmanuel Ina.

A successful life has never been recoreded with the tag 'stagnatuon'. We live in a world where there is daily need for people to succeed.  Being comfortable with any level we are without taking steps to advance is being in the train of being out dated in a short time.  If there is no room for improvement there won't be any need to think about our 'tomorrow'. The concept of 'today' is to live to correct our mistakes of yerstaday so that we can live without them tommorw. So, each day of our live comes with hope and opportunities never to be what we were yesterday that was wrong. Knowledge has no limit except you create one.  Never allow the comment of people who weigh you down or make you feel you have arrived stop you from advancing.   A successful person is one who receives credit for all what he does and continues so as to maintain the credit. Also a success man is one who has not received credit but presses hard to get one. ~ Emmanuel...

This is how life is supposed to be.

This is the best way to live your life.

When you help the poor, keep the cameras at home.

" Thank you so very much, Me and myself would have sufferd such a bag of embarrassment if not for you ". He said with smiles of appreciation all round his face. He couldn't have an exchange of contact with her because she practically refused, saying ' it's more fair to help strangers without expecting a pay back.' He gave up and left but at least they knew each other's names. He went there some other tim...

Viewing things from other people's aspect is a more better way to relate with other people. You can't tell how much pain they feel that makes them do the things they do.

Don't allow anybody discourage you, once you are sure about what you are doing, keep doing it. Someday it will speak for you.

When I was in elementary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what it was all about. But I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.  I was convienced I was " right" and the boy was wrong. The boy was convinced that " he was right " and I was wrong. Our teacher decided to teach us a very  important lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and place him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk, was a large, round object.  I could clearly see that is was black. She asked the boy what color the object  was "white". He answered.  I  couldn't believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black. I didn't wait for her to ask me before I shouted " black".  Another argument spur up between my classmates and me. This time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to stand where the boy was standing and told him to go an...

Many will want to lay blames on enemies for the cause if their predicaments but the fact is that we got ourselves worked out and our body system reacted and brought us down.  Fever, fatigue and headache are among the least effects of stress but because we notice them more frequent we tag them as that top most effects. You can actually create time for anything you want if you really want to, therefore it's not an evil thing to do if we reduce our lots of activities that leads to stress and find more time to rest. The body doesn't pay you for over stressing it instead reduces it's functionality. To every excess stress you bring upon yourself you pay to handle its effects. So which is better? Spend most of the money you earn handling stress or have some time to rest, some time to work and some time to enjoy what you worked for! Stress Kills, try resting..

...He woke up that day troubled, wondering what could be the meaning of the dream he had over the night. Most times before now, he usually forgets his dream(s) and would proceed into the day trying to remember them, bye and bye the whole stuff will leave his mind because he would have other things to take care of during the day and the nature of his work will contribute more to his forgetfulness. But this dream seem too strange and real. He prayed some shallow prayers and off he was into the day. Work for the day was hectic as usual and of course he in a hurry had forgotten about the terrible dream he had over the night.. ...'The government  and everyone involved in the affairs of this nation are all criminals' a man muttered while arguing with some other men in the public vehicle he boarded while returning home..

...Half of him surviving depended on his cell phone. Staying a day without his phone will cost him alot especially because of the nature of his work. ..He screamed out of fear from the bathroom. 'My manhood' and he kept repeating it countlessly 'my manhood', 'my manhood', 'my manhood'... Tried to run out to find someone to help, he couldn't find his wallet in the trouser he wore back home. 'Am dieing, what is happening to me'.he exclaimed and this aged man of 32years started weeping uncontrollable. In the midst of his tears; the dream flashed into his memory.. The summary of the dream was that he saw himself caged and  had no way of escaping and a man stood with the key of the cage laughing at him... Everyone he meet for help told him the only way out was to look for the man and beg him which seem very impossible because he only meet the man once and that was the day of the fight. Weeks later he had already lost hope but after ...

Two men were jailed in the same cell with the same conditions; but one of them was unhappy and the other was happy. Why are you sad? The happy man asked the unhappy man. What should i be happy for?, i am unlucky. Recently i was free and had a rest at resort, and there as you know is more intetesting then here. The unhappy man answered and asked the happy man, "why are you so satisfied?". You see, the happy man said; recently i was in another prison where the conditons are much worse, and there is just a resort for me here. I am lucky. If you want to be happy, just compare your current position with that of certain persons you are better than and you will see reasons to be calm. Never feel bad, things will get better. Stay Positive and Happy.

Smile if they are truly sorry and  forgive them. Life is full of disappointments so expect it from anybody and never pay back. That shows your maturity on the issues of life. Stay positive.

Okra  is high fiber vegetable and it's known for it high soluble and insoluble fiber content.

Prevents Diabetes.  Okra is known to aid in the prevention of diabetes. It is rich in fiber that helps in the prevention of this disease. 2.
