Environment matters.

When u patronise a cheap restaurant u are sure to meet cheap people with parrot mouths but if otherwise,u will equally meet people who respect boundaries.

Therefore,change ur environment,if na some villages u dey,them for don kill u tey tey.

I still maintain that u change ur environment.

Rumours and false accusations are two things that has become a part of my life. Like always! Always!
I have heard rumors of me being a thief. I have heard rumors of me being gay. Heard rumors and has been accused of having an evil spirit and being demon-possessed. Of recent, my neighbor's wife even accused me of wanting to break her marriage, all because I staked a bet with her husband, that if he could successfully woo and get this new girl in our block, I would gift him 10k.

All these rumors and accusations don't shake me though. I see them most times as prophecies. Even if I haven't stolen in my life, I cannot tell what the case will be tomorrow, after all, the only thing holding the sun and the moon is time. I simply wave off that nonsense and see them as words of fools and jobless idiots.

But this recent rumor, which I see as a total witch-hunt, is aimed at giving my destiny helpers a "too-much" positive impression about me. This might make them see me as their destiny helper instead, and that is why I didn't take it, dear diary.

So because I came back last week with a fairly used, and fairly stolen laptop, which I bought 12,320 from a Yoruba vendor in one of the computer villages around, changed my slippers, managed to carve my hair, and shared a packet of milcose for the kids in my compound, news started flying around that I am now a big boy.

-He has started pressing.
-He done cash-out.
-He just dey fresh
-Show me an update nah
And so much other rubbish
There is nothing I haven't heard, dear diary, these few days.

Recently, these two girls around my street have formed the habit of raising their polo whenever they sight me so that I can have a clearer view of their backsides. In their mind, nah G boy I be.

As usual, I didn't care about any of the rubbish flying around about me, until yesterday when one of the gossip mongers, had the guts to knock at my door, and after hailing me, asked me to 'show him the way', because according to what he heard, God has blessed me.
That was the one that made me lose it. That virtue of 'Long suffering' left me immediately and
with a very thunderous slap on his left cheek, I asked the mugu who God has blessed.
God has blessed me?
I slapped the idiot again and asked him "Kingsley, come, who did you say, God blessed? But before I could land a corresponding knock, the demon fled.

Like, these wicked people didn't only stop at denting me before my destiny helpers, but now also want to present me as "Made" before the almighty God.
Jesus Christ! Why are people this cruel?

Let them say, elenu lo lenu

First of all, how do you hear all these rumors?

Why do you care so much about what people say about you?

Why would you assault someone for asking you to show him the way?

What is the fire that you are lighting which may be bringing the smoke of rumors?

I think your main issue is that you are too caught up in yourself , and care so much about what people think about you. Hence you are always looking out to hear what people may have to say, and even when they are not saying something , you still hear what you expect them to say. You make assumptions, and jump to conclusions about people's motivations.

You slapped that guy just because you could, why didn't you slap your neighbors wife for confronting you and your maritally disrespectful bet?

And those girls, How did you know they were raising their polo if you were not looking in their direction? And why didn't you go to slap them?

Fact is, you are seeing the world , not as it is, but as you are.

It depends on the rumour, who started it and who propagate it. I don't really move with people so I hardly get labelled with rumors . The little hear things but the little i hear, I either address it or ignore it. grin

I am pachydemic (thick skin) to rumors about myself. It used to bother me but over the years when I realized how little it had to do with my life then I learnt to click ignore. People would believe what they want about you and there is very little you can do about it. Just do everything in your capacity to be good.

Dazzol.

Good or bad

I love to be mentioned

Better still to be the topic

You would not love to be ignored

It's not better neither

So be intentionally scarce some times.

I've been accused of being gay too, because I speak good English. Next was that my father did ritual is why we're always in good times. The most recent was that I raped a girl who stayed with me, this was spread by the girl herself because I didn't want her.
