Agree or Disagree?

Most times it is often concluded that children from broken homes suffer relationship break-ups (or trauma). How true is this? A friend of mine, Temitayo Ponmile, once concluded that most guys who come from a polygamous family often trail the path of polygamy. She concluded that they usually fail to learn from the fathers (except for the **cascows*). Another friend of mine (name withheld) disagreed with this view. He was of the opinion that guys from polygamous home do not trail the path of polygamy. He said they learn from it and avoid it (as he is from a polygamous home and is willing to do all in his power to at least practice monogamy. This my friend is not a cascow - let's see how things turn out for him). Well, he is not married yet and he likes women a lot (LOL).

What's your view on this issue? Please, feel free to contribute.

    i totally disagree that children from polygamous family tend to marry more than a wife. Those that are of that view are reasoning out of that. Every opinion and conclusions on issues such as this are best tendered base on fact not mere words.
    I am from a polygamous family and i can say, though i am not married yet, that no matter what i am sticking with only one wife.
    Okay what about females from polygamy home, are they also going to probably be jumping from one man house to another. Common, it is baseless.
    Anyway i saw your blogspot address on skype and decided to have a look not knowing i will see an article on a topic i and my friends were just talking about this weekend.
    That was a nice article though. keep it up.

Why Did I Get Married?

Image
I really enjoy seeing African-Americans movies, and this particular film is no exception. In fact, I can’t stop watching it and I can’t wait to see ‘Why Did I Get Married too’ . Really, Tyler Perry got me hooked on this one, that after seeing it several times, I was able to sift one or more things from it and I’d like to share them here. Before I share what I learnt, let me give a synopsis of the movie…There are four couples who go on an annual one week vacation – more like a reunion. During this vacation, they reconnect, talk, pray, iron out issues and so on – but this vacation opened up secrets that they’ve all bottled up. Secrets that made them ask such question as ‘Why did I Get Married?’ I’m going to be looking at the couple one after the other… Mike & Sheila (Richard T. Jones & Jill Scott) The problem with this couple is Sheila’s stature. Sheila is on the fat side but Mike just couldn’t live with that! And so he insults her at every opportunity he

...For Mama

I feel since this blog is about relationships, writing about my family, friends, colleagues, etc...and expressing my love for them wouldn't be a crime.  Here's a poem for mama, who'll be a year older tomorrow (15th, September). And this poem is dedicated to all the mamas in the world...with love. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dearest Mama, I just write to let you know What's on my mind Bringing me to the world with groans I can imagine what it's like For the seeds of love you've sown You're one of a kind For the toughest times you've known It's fresh in my mind For the times I don't listen to you You love me still And the times that I trouble you You keep loving me Oh! and the times that I fell sick You knew no sleep Or the times that I weep You weep and weep And those times that I'm lost You are on your feet Even at times of failures You believe in me Fo

Things That Irritate Me

Image
I get easily irritated at times, and funny the things that irritate me could be classed as trivial - that is, minor. The truth is, once I let them out you might view me as 'duh, why should those irritate you?' but they do anyway. It just goes to show that I'm a unique being *wink wink*. Some months back I sat in a public bus on my way home, then I heard a guy, who sat behind me, make some sound with his mouth - teeth and tongue. The kind some people make when they are trying to remove a left over food or dirt from their teeth. The bad thing is, he didn't stop once, he made the sound till he alighted from the bus. Kai, I was pissed! Still in the same bus, someone was listening to a sport commentary on his phone. He put the phone on speaker and on the highest volume, as if the rest of us were interested in the boring tale. I wonder how he forgot that earphones are made for moments such as those.... How I almost shouted at him. The odd thing was that he hissed at th
