A message of peace from the princess of peace.


         
  Most parents, with the best interests at heart,
dictate what happens in the lives of their children. No, it shouldn't be so. All that's needed is guidance from a distance. In most homes today, choosing the career path of the child usually causes a thug of war between the child and the parents. Some parents use the "I know what's best for you" line to cover up. They end up attempting to live the life they would have preferred for themselves, through their children.        
Choosing the career path for a child is never the best thing for the child.  

As a parent, guardian or friend, you should advice the child, show him/her options, because there are a million and one professions to choose from.                                              

I saw a picture once, it said, "The four career choices in Nigeria :                

 1). A lawyer
 2). A doctor
 3). An engineer
4). A disgrace to the family.      

        The last part might have cracked you up. But seriously, why? All other professions are seen as irrelevant in most African homes. Even outside the homes, people around contribute to this ideology. It's a shame. If a child wants to be a footballer, let him. Every profession deserves respect. Late Muhammed Ali  Did not get to where he was by being a lawyer or a doctor, he was known for being a professional boxer out of many others. So also, the likes of Whitney Houston, Funke Akindele, Folarin Falana (falz), Dj Cuppy and so many others.

      Being a Pilot, a farmer, an architect, a fashion designer, a musician, a model, or an actor, etc is a noble thing. I believe that every one deserves the chance to explore their passion and do what they love. Everybody's story is written differently. We should learn to encourage children, rather than destroy their confidence in themselves.
  Please, I adhere you to embrace civilization, and do not be an obstacle in someone's life.

Sexual Abuse.

Most people I have had connection  with within this few weeks have hinted at a particular issue that I have decided to write about. SEXUAL ABUSE. My name is Alero and I have been a victim of multiple sexual abuse. I was molested repeatedly by my uncle shola when I was just 9. He had just finished NYSC and he decided to spend the rest of his holiday at my house. my mother was his aunt and she saw nothing wrong with uncle Shola staying for a few months, he will after all help with some heavy duty chores like washing the cars and dads laundry.            Uncle shola was 23 years old at this time, he was tall and fair I must admit at that age I liked uncle Shola until

Side Chick.

I lay on this cold bed, this lonely night wishing you were next to me. I picked up my phone to call you (the phone you got me), you picked up and I could hear her voice in the background, you excused yourself saying darling this is work I have to take it. You called me baby as i cried and told you how badly I wanted to feel the warmth of your body next to mine. I am the one you say you love, the business meetings that keep you away from little Benjamin and Grace, the one who sleeps alone in an empty bed, the outside side chick who hugs a pillow while your light skinned wife spreads her legs to heaven as you grunt and sweat down the passage of what you call a loosen valve.
