5.LIVING MATURE


You must have laughed a while ago but let's get the truth straight. Being mature is not looking at your back sides or rushing the boutique, getting the best of Gucci, looking puffed up and heading no where.
Maturity is acting or staying on the positive side in negative moments, especially those that call for rage. In maturity lies the ability to forgive and understand differences. You are not mature when all you portray is an iron fist. It is not how we see you but how much you have worked on your attitude.
Yes, we all have that neighbour, friend or relative who slaps our left
cheek and we don't expect to give them the other, do we? Fighting back or plotting evil is the weakest form of defense i know. As a spiritual
being, your adversary is God's responsibility.
However, it is germane for us to cast out devils and demons but that's
farther than what we are relating. Perhaps the greatest words Jesus used were those of Love.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 New
International Version (NIV)
''If I speak in the tongues of
men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the
gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to
hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are
prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it
will pass away''.
If you can regulate your mind to the tone of love, you can change your attitude and world positively. Any sin you can think of is related to the mind. Even the fall of satan started from a single thought of being like God.
Truthfully, there is no other way you can be equipped and whole without God and allegiance to His Word. Its not about reading it like an exam essay but letting it down your marrow; letting it influence
who you are; letting it  be what matters more than living and acting on feelings of anger. Friend, life is not all about being opinionated or angry at every single circumstance or anyone.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastics 7:9, "do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in
the lap of fools".
Learn to be patient with others. Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you. Forgive one another as God also has forgiven you. Remember, they spat on Jesus too. It is also written in James 1:19 & 20, "know this, my beloved
brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of
God".
For further study pls read the following verses:
Colossians 3:8; James 4:1-2; Proverbs 16:32; Matthew 5:22; Psalm 7:8-9; 37:8-9; Proverbs 14:29; 29:11; 19:11; Ephesians 4:25-26; 4:31; 2Timothy 2:23-24; Romans 12:19-21.
Thank you and God bless you
If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus, pls do that now by saying third prayers aloud, "Lord Jesus I come to you as a sinner, pls forgive me all my sins. I believe that you came and died for me and on the last day will return. Help me and give me grace for my imperfections and make me whole within"
Find a bible believing church and worship, and God in His infinite mercy Will make you whole.

4.MORALS AND MORONS


I had never been that scared and bitter all my life. They really infuriated me. The slaps; the farts; the stooling; the pretence and all of that. When one came insulting and wanted to hit me, I shouted the name of the nurse but when she came, they pretended as though they
had been asleep.
I continued in rage expressing my pains. The nurse asked me to leave
the ward that she is aware of their deeds and never wanted to be extravagant with time. All she was saying aggravated my anger more and more. She tried but couldn't calm me with words.
When the doctor heard me shouting, he rushed in and I told him loudly that he was a fool to have left me in the ward, as if he wasn't the
one whom I pleaded with to allow me watch my cousin. I continued shouting even more with a fierce look on my face like that of a killer.
The security men were forced to come in, yet i continue d screaming and threatening to kill everyone but they tied me, then the doctor inserted a syringe into me and I slept like I had seen death, "I am not mad", were my last words before hibernating. That was how I got admitted in the psychiatric hospital.
Hearing the news of his only son, my dad, that could still box as though he was in his early twenties, rushed to the hospital in much ferocity. He began shouting at the doctor and none he listened to.
He was angry about my admission. That was how the security men also tied him down and both of us were admitted in the psychiatric hospital.
The central tenet is that an angry man is a foolish man In his moment of rage and therefore, to be immoral is to be a slowpoke with neat clothes.

3. UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT

 I tried not to sleep but went off and on until nature finally called me. At about 12:20am, I was awoken by the song and shout of the other patients in the ward. Could you believe they were singing birthday songs at that hour? It was the celebration of a
said birthday of their co-patient who I later heard got deranged for his everyday weed. Well, their concert ended by the intervention of a nurse. I couldn't believe it. I didn't know where I was until I got an immediate slap while trying to ride on sleep the second time. I bounced with a scared look on my face like a basket ball. My heart began to hit me with in an unusual rhythm. I wasn't even aware they had just begun their ordeal. This time my eyes became wider than Mississippi and got rid of every inch of sleep.
A girl beside Aregbor's bed walked up to me and asked me to marry her, and the others clapped for her proposal. At that moment, I was just begging God to forward the night.
Looking to my left, a man older than my grandfather was stunting on his bed. There was even a boy who never stopped humming
military songs. He marches to everyone and salutes them at random. I heard a woman screaming like she had seen a ghost. The ward was turning into hell and I yelled the nurses' name.
Immediately they heard her open the door, they pretended as if they had been asleep, and this made the nurse looked confused about me. When she left, they explored even more.
Another mad lady walked to me and asked for a dance. I was totally upset. I didn't want to leave so that they won't hurt Aregbor. All this while, he had been on his bed watching without a word. I was astonished when he got up and told them it was
time for rigorous vaccination of their immune system. The screaming lady got angry and said, "No it's time to sing and dance skelewu".
They lowered the intensity of their pitch such that the nurses wouldn't hear them. They asked me to commend the best dancer, then I glued to the wall and tried to bury my body into it.
It was 3am when one of them walked to me, knelt and said, "Oga Good Afternoon sir". And worse, I couldn't bear the pungent smell emanating
from his trousers. He had urinated in his sleep. Happily, one of them whom I noticed to have been reticent, came to me and apologized on their behalf. I poured out my griefs to him. I was glad to have seen a sensible person until he began to narrate how he had his PhD in primary six. If you were me, would you have left your favorite cousin? That night, ten minutes on the clock seem to me an hour. I learnt from that experience that time seems slow when we pray it runs fast. But at about 4am, I was admitted.

2. DARKNESS


    Hearing the sudden and devastating news, I wish I had no phone. What went wrong? The information got me upset as I was forced to cover the yam and Owo half-way. This is my Aregbor to have been mentioned. A six hundred level medical student? Our hope of a doctor? I couldn't even listen to the rubbish his dad was uttering over the phone. How can he tell me Aregbor was rushed to a psychiatric hospital? Not even a clinic. He must have made an unamusing joke. Taking a glance at my watch, it was about 7:35pm and I hurried out of the house to get a taxi. "But today is not April fool nau, will baba Aregbor be lying or trying to scare me? Well, I don't believe it" I thought and thought till I alighted in front of the psychiatric hospital.
 "I want to see  my cousin", I yelled at the bald-headed gate keeper who said it was too late to allow me in. "Open the gate for him", echoed another man that looked like his boss, which had incomplete set of teeth.
In confusion and haste, I rushed to the nurses' desk but was referred to a doctor. It was unimaginable when he said Aregbor had lost consciousness owing to his officious and uncontrollable reading and meditating habits, hence, had schizophrenia. I was like, " what!!!" I thought it only happened in the movies. I asked after my uncle, his father, but was said to have
gone.
I was in tears when he took me to Aregbor's bed. All I could behold in him was a bright future turned into darkness. "Who could
have done this to him" I thought as I cleaned my eyes with an handkerchief too soft a fabric to wipe my tears. I stroke my hand on my chin and shook my head for my belly was bitter.
It was too late to go home and I prayed the doctor to allow me watch him the whole night. Although it sprang into a conversation of
conditions yet he allowed me when he saw my sincerity and pains. Who will bring light to the dark route of Our prospective doctor?
When the doctor left, I sighed and sat beside him. I was lost in the thoughts of having heard that mental  illnesses are mostly incurable.
Looking around the ward, a number of patients were on their beds. It was a large room of about thirty patients. It were the darkest days of Aregbor but It was the darkest night of my life sleeping in that ward.

1.BREAKING NEWS

 "I have said it severally that Aregbor is an intelligent monkey. In fact the notoriety of his IQ makes him a principality in medicine", I
kept telling hostelites and as many as aren't deaf, including the walls.
The news made my soul joyous, like students just notified that there is a mid-term break. Should you congratulate me, there is a bottle for you. None had seen me this gregarious, vivacious and excited. It's everywhere in the world that I am hard, stubborn and introverted. I say hi to everyone but you don't move a second when I draw a line for you or offend me. Even the ants said am stern but I was only living my principled life. There was a day a guy swallowed some tablets of my iron fist. He was semi-crippled for weeks. Should the spectators not have saved him, I was ready to push him to the bellies of the earth. This made a lot of people deserted me, including female folks. The few ones I had were either sleeping the gym or share same enemies with me. That's why my joy that morning, to them, was like the first day of a year. Immediately I read the messages on whatsapp, I screamed out of my room and everyone ran outside in confusion. Aregbor, my cousin, had medaled his O'level results in one game, and hearing of his admission to study medicine and surgery became not just my pride but that of the extended family.
There had been no medical doctor in our pedigree and seeing one drives us hope. It was our greatest wish for one because a large part of the extended family had died ignorantly. My dad wanted me to study medicine but had to give up the war when I went sleeping outside because my love for mathematics was irresistible. He is as hard as I am but i learnt to be submissive after the death of mother. However, When it came to my career, I would rather be a fugitive than compromise. How awesome it is for my favourite cousin to have torn our old blouse with such a news.
I wish you were at Aregbor's matriculation party. It was like an entire village coronating a new king, and seated in front were pounded
yam, a soup of your choice and bush meat. Oh, those pictures! I even ran out of styles. Such a memorable day for everyone. I can still recall vividly how we disturbed the social media that night with traffic of pictures. Did I forget to say that the cake was in form of a stethoscope? See, we took seventy pictures. No! Sorry,
eighty pictures. I was in 100level then studying accounting but nothing
got me to cloud nine than the fate of a doctor in the family. At least we can now replace those native doctors and bring modern succor to our
community. Even the medical services provided by the Government had failed its Litmus test. I remember when I nearly died of malaria, they gave me three packets of paracetamol like I was their retailer. Thank my stars, it was a visit. I had to swallow bitter roots before leaving. That taught me to taking drugs to the village as first aid for the sick.
But Six years later, I began work in a private firm as an auditor while Aregbor was in his sixth year. I returned from work one Friday and received a call that paralyzed my life. The unbelievable happened.

Are you all ready?
