Kaymisola: 1. "Let's hang out some time" This is usually said when you run into a former friend, enemy, frenemy or colleague...We need to stop doing this. I understand that this line serves as a go-to conversation closer for many awkward encounters. But have you ever thought of what would happen, if your counterpart actually said, “yes” and expected a follow-through plan to hang out? Lol...Don’t take the risk. More importantly, we have no intention of hanging out with this person out of our own free will, so why pretend? If you need a conversation closer, “Glad to see you’re still alive. Take care and have an awesome life.” has never failed me.


2. "I'll be in 5minutes or I'm almost there" this is typically said when planning on meeting someone ASAP but you are running late...Do you know why you won’t be there in 5 minutes? Because you haven’t left your house yet. It’s obnoxious because what we’re really doing with this lie is giving someone an expectation that their wait time will be short. Waiting for people is annoying enough, but having to wait for longer than expected is just not cool. Would it really be so bad if we just told each other that due to tardiness, we will be meeting later than we had planned? No it wouldn’t. Unless you are in fact 5 minutes away, let’s stop this ridiculousness.


3. "I didn't get that text" this is frequently said when your friend asks why you didn't respond to their text. First of all (go down low), I completely empathize with the annoyance that you feel when a friend asks about why you didn’t respond to a particular text. Obviously you didn’t reply because you didn’t want to. But choosing to lie is silly because more than likely, your friend knows that you probably got the text in question. Own up and tell him or her the stone-cold truth: you simply didn’t want to.


4. "I'm just so busy" This is said by everyone, all the time. We’re all busy – every single one of us. Some people are busy doing nothing but let’s not get into details here. “Busy-ness” is the excuse that no one can argue with so it’s the perfect white lie in a lot of ways. No, I can’t make it to your house party on Saturday because I’m busy. Yes, I missed your incredible dinner-event-thing last Sunday because I’m busy. Sorry, I haven’t seen, called, or texted you because I’m just so busy, okay? Actually, I’m not. I mean I am busy and yes that might affect going to things or seeing people once in a while. But the truth is I probably just didn’t feel like it. And as terrible of a human being I am to tell you this, whatever you wanted me to do was deemed not as important as my Saturday afternoon nap or Sunday evening date with Netflix. Now you know, and now we can all just be honest about it and feel good. And I know it’s just a white lie, but the truth will in fact, set you free....


Know of any more white lies, pls feel free to share at comment section...

ghostofsparta:

Mind you, Juju is not the same thing as what I implied as their propensity of presenting God as the reason for a cause, an excuse, and justification. I'm sure what you really meant by your incorrect usage of the word "juju" is actually is the widespread false believe in urban superstitions and deliberately distorted understanding of our native sciences by religious societies, not withstanding the need to research the existence and advancement of the efficacy of •supernatural affect'• erroneously called juju.

Bros! Calm down with your unnecessary grammar...weda you like am or not you are simply worshiping foreign juju... Ifa or sango, orumila, esu, amadioha you refer to them as juju, and your own not! how so!? No be spirit all of una dey fear and worship...so my friend.! All na juju ...!

Those are friendly excuses not actually like telling lies. I think some condition might warrant one or two on the list. Like being late while stocked in traffic and such excuse is good for somebody who refuses to understand.

Ever since the day I, out of courtesy, asked someone to join me share my lunch(the food sef small and e for no belleful me.) with the belief he will reply "no. Thanks" . . . but this guy cleared my doubt, arranged a big spoon for himself, devour my food(he was rushing and piling it) and made me curse his generations in my heart(i don almost cry, I wish sey I for fit uproot the baggar head), I made up my mind never to invite someone share in my meal again.

Brother, you got it wrong. What do you mean by "worshipping foreign foreign juju" ? Maybe if I'm to get you correctly then you should know that juju as a foreign term isn't of African origin by mother tongue, in modern times Juju is perceived from the educated/white man's point of view as any object believed by backward thinking primitives to hold certain irrational powers or effect. On the other hand Juju here in Nigeria is regarded as anything that is deem worthy of scorn and demonization given the religious disapproval whilst the crucifix, rosary, cross and tesubiu are sanctimonious.

A lot of peeps got so many of these things wrong and twisted, very few knows there's the differences between what can be classified under juju(ishegun) and traditional practices of orisha/irunmole worship (isheshe). Just like you they always mix them mix them all up, falsely assuming them all up under the scary evil...JUJU!

You mentioned Ifa, eshu, Shango, etc placing them as spirits, or demons, etc only shows that, just like so many of you in Odudualand, *so sorry to say* are all lost. Most of you know so much about the so called holy books of the foreign Abrahamic religions but absolutely nothing of your ancestor's traditions, or at most distorted understanding of some, mainly gleaned from the improperly produced Yoruba films or what your clergymen interpretedly fed for you for years, both of which keep deforming nd misrepresenting the original thing. How dare you imply it's because of fear, what you call spirit are being worshiped? I'm sure the worshiping driving/entering of vehicle or the purpose of gun are because of the fear that either of them can one day be turned against us.

What a shame..

Let's free ourselves from mental slavery and religious barbaro-dogmatism
