HealthA Story And Advice To Teenagers By Femi Owolabi by Iyke1998(op): 3:21pm On Sep 30, 2015
An open letter to the girl in her teens by Femi Owolabi
Hello dear,
I know you would have read or heard something like this,
since you assumed this phase of your life. If you will oblige
me, however, I wanna share with you, the story of Bisola,
my friend who should be twenty this November.
Bisola and I met early this year in my neighborhood. You
see, that evening, I was sitting, with a few friends, in front of
my house when Bisola walked past. Her beauty is mesmeric
that our eyes followed her till she walked off the street.
Days later, Bisola and I already got talking. Mind me not, I
am skilled in making new friends that quick. Especially when
the girl is beautiful, just like you, you know?
Bisola is the second of the three children of her parents. Of
course, she wouldn’t agree to my friendship proposal on
time, and when we eventually got talking, she told me of
how she despises the guys in the neighborhood; those guys
who just wanna woo every girl they see walk past. “I will not
allow any guy destroy my future o,” Bisola told me. Let me
confess, at this initial stage of our friendship, my affection
was driven by pure lust. Forgive me, men could just be like
that, sometimes. Bisola was careful. She slapped off my
hand when it rested too much on her shoulder, that
evening I walked her down the street. She repelled every
flirtatious gaze I cast at her.
She came looking for me one day, sometime around mid-
August, and was told I was inside my room. My door was
pointed, and she came knocking. I asked her to come in, but
she was skeptical and asked I come out instead. When I
opened the door and she peeped into my room, she saw my
shelf and marveled. She was attracted by the books,
obviously, and willingly, she stepped into the room. “Are you
the only one reading all these plenty books?” she asked me,
as she knelt by the shelf looking through the titles.
Bisola sat for JAMB this year but she scored low and didn’t
meet the cut-off for a university admission. She was
preparing to re-sit for the examination. I helped her search
through the shelf for an old Economics textbook because
Eco, as she fondly called it, was her preferred course of
study. The gift of that book really meant a lot to her, and
she hugged me, for the first time. That moment when our
hearts got enclosed in a hug, I could feel she’s troubled.
“I have not seen my period,” she let out a sigh, looking into
my eyes. At first, I didn’t know what to say. “You had an
unprotected sex with your boyfriend?” I laced this question
with smiles, hoping she would take it as some witty asides.
“How could you relate such to me?” she was furious, and
she left. And for days, she didn’t answer my calls. I got
angry with myself, you know. I called a friend who is a
doctor, asking her what could be the reason why a month
would go and a girl won’t have her period. I told my friend
to eschew any pregnancy thoughts, because the girl in
question never indulged in sex. My friend used some
medical jargon and then suggested some medicines. The
next time I saw Bisola in the neighborhood, I ran after her,
to show her the names of the medicines that the doctor has
recommended. I wrote the medicines’ names on a sheet of
paper I got from my chest-pocket, and I took her palm and
put the paper in it. She was reluctant in receiving it.
“Femi, can I trust you with something?” she asked, in a
whispering tone. I told her to go ahead. “I had a D & C
abortion in June,” she said. Looking askance at her, I didn’t
know what to respond. “We had sex, my then boyfriend and
I. I discovered the pregnancy in June and I had to quickly
get rid of it,” she continued. Bisola is this smart girl, but I
began to see her naivety, especially when she started telling
me about the boyfriend whom she now hated. It was an
irony; her naivety juxtaposed her seeming smartness.
“You will be fine,” I calmed her, and I furthered with my
enquiries. I was then told that in the cases of some D & C
abortions, it may take about three months before the
patient gets her period. I called Bisola and I told her to
worry not, for her period will come at the expiration of
three months that she had the abortion. We both started
counting down to September 4th when the three months
would elapse.
I was out of town when Bisola called me, that it was the
tenth day of September and no traces of her period. I, too,
got overwhelmed with worries. “Let me go back to where I
had the D & C in June and asked why this,” she suggested,
and I agreed with her. She left her Lagos home for
somewhere in Ibadan, without telling anyone what she was
up to, except me. She consistently begged me not to reveal
this to anyone, even when the worries seemed bigger than
what we two can handle.
The next day, she called me. “I have just been told that the
D & C I had in June only took one baby of the two that was
inside of me, and this one might have been growing” she
said. I was shocked! I didn’t know how possible this could
have been. “So, what do we do now?” I asked her. I could
feel my voice shivering, because of how my heart
palpitated. “Get rid of it!” she screamed. This time, it
wouldn’t be through a D & C as she has been assured. She
asked if I could raise her some money because she has
been billed another N15, 000. A second abortion in a short
interval-- of months? I couldn’t just take this. “Let’s leave
this baby, my darling,” I begged. She was quick to anger you
know. “Just say you can’t give me money. I should leave the
baby? You, can you marry an after-one?” she said and she
terminated the call. I tried to reach her again, and she
wouldn’t pick my calls.
Later in the week, she called me. It was not good news. The
one of the twin babies has been confirmed lifeless. There
was no other option than to bring out the lifeless thing
from her womb.
Few days after the operation, I spoke with her over the
phone and I could barely hear her. “I have been bleeding
profusely,” she said in a faint voice. “Femi, I feel so weak.
Pads can’t even hold this blood. I’ve been using towels,” she
added. I was already in tears, you know.
I shared a bit of this on Facebook and many friends
suggested I ensure her parents know about this. I had to
open it up to one of her uncles in the neighborhood whom I
always argue politics with. He brought in the parents and
they set in immediately.
Last Thursday when I called her line, her dad picked. “She is
sleeping,” he told me. He thanked me for always checking
on her. “When she’s up, I will ask that she returns your call,”
he said.
On Monday night, 28th of September, 2015, my phone rang
as I stepped into my room. “Bisola is dead,” the caller said.
“She died this morning at the University College Hospital in
Ibadan,” he added.
Oh yes, I laughed. That would mark the beginning of the
mental illness that held me for hours. I became sicker. I
became weaker. A part of me died with Bisola. The
memories of that young girl who knelt by my shelf-- asking
for an Economics textbook-- haunt me.
Why am I writing to you? You see my dear, I discovered that
Bisola feared being stigmatized as an after-one. Just like
you, she wanna go to the university, graduate and marry
her lover. But things went wrong, and she wanted to return
to her normal self. I know you have a boyfriend. I had a
girlfriend, too, when I was eighteen, and oh, we did crazy
stuffs. I know you guys really wanna be all over each other
and have sex. I write to beg that you be careful, okay? I
know your approach to life could be refreshingly naïve. See,
many boys would wanna play on this. You have to be
smarter, okay? I wish I could explain better. And in the case
you eventually get pregnant, sweetheart, don’t rush to
abort it, please. Call your mum and dad, and tell them. Don’t
go through a D & C alone. My parents, conservative
Christians, won’t approve of abortion. I want to believe
yours, too, won’t. It is your life that matters and not what
people would call you; after-one or whatever. You will be
amazed at how people will stand strong for you, the after-
one girl.
Please, take these things seriously and stay alive to enjoy
that future!
I care about you, always.
Femi Owolabi,

EducationShould Maths Be A Compulsory Subject In Exams. by Iyke1998(op): 2:46pm On Sep 15, 2015
If you take a look at the failures in nowadays exams,you will find out that most people fail maths than any other subject.

Some individuals will always say that"One Can't Do Things Without Calcutions"fine!

That also means,Government should be made a compulsory subject because we all are controlled by a government,we all need to know all about the government

I really find it dishearten to see students write O'level exams over and over again all in a bid to get maths.

I urge the Nigeria government to look into this matter.

Catholics why do you seek forgiveness from a priest instead of from God
kamez:
I am the way the truth and the life. no one comet unto the father except thru me. that's what Jesus said.


Jesus alone can forgive all sins.. confess ur sins directly to him. no priest can absolve ur sins. only Jesus can..

oya catholics in the house, sentence me to death.
In Matthew, chapter 9, verse 6, Jesus tells us that He was
given authority on earth to forgive sins. And then Scripture proceeds to tell us, in verse 8, that this authority was given to "men"...plural.

In John 20, verses 21-23, what is the first thing Jesus says to the gathered disciples on the night of His resurrection?
"Jesus said to them, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has
sent me, even so I send you.'" How did the Father send
Jesus? Well, we just saw in Matthew 9 that the Father sent
Jesus with the authority on earth to forgive sins.

Now, Jesus sends out His disciples as the Father has sent Him...so, what authority must Jesus be sending His disciples out with? The authority on earth to forgive sins.

And, just in case they didn't get it, verses 22-23 say this, "And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.'"

Why would Jesus give the Apostles the power to forgive or
to retain sins if He wasn't expecting folks to confess their
sins to them? And how could they forgive or retain sins if no one was confessing their sins to them?

The Bible tells us to confess our sins to one another. It also tells us that God gave men the authority on Earth to forgive sins. Jesus sends out His disciples with the authority on earth to forgive sins. When Catholics confess our sins to a priest, we are simply following the plan laid down by Jesus Christ. He forgives sins through the priest...it is God's power, but He exercises that power through the ministry of the priest.

God bless you!!

The disciples could not receive the Holy Spirit when they were with Jesus because it was not time yet.They received the Holy Spirit after Jesus had left them on the day of pentecost.
When you receive Christ and the infilling of the Holy Spirit,that is when the gift of speaking in tongues is imparted to you.
Once you have received it,it's in you.You don't have to wait again for it to come from heaven.All you need to do is stir it up from within you.
"The disciples could not receive the Holy Spirit when they were with Jesus because it was NOT TIME YET".

You just answered the question...

I guess what you were trying to point out is that "there is time for everything"...

Being a born again is different from receiving the gift of speaking in tongues..

The disciples were all born again,they worked with Christ,still,they were unable to speak in tongues.Why?..because the GIFT of speaking in tongues wasn't bestowed not until the day of pentecost...
Read ACT 2:1-4...its clearly written there....

So,I disagree with you where you said that one has the gift of speaking when he becomes born again,if that is so,the disciples of Christ wouldn't have waited that long before the started speaking in tongues.

God bless you!!!

Aren't we suppose to be filled with the holy spirit before speaking in tongues? Yes, but then you must know who you are. God is Spirit, the Supreme Spirit. He is our Instructor. He teaches us all skills and professions and the languages we need to communicate them. In other words, He gives us His Light to shine the different talents in us to His Honour and Glory. Therefore, A Talent is a Gift and a Skill of God and His Light in us. Your Pastor saying bar bar bar bar, please don't judge him. For it may be his preparations to communicate with God, who is Spirit, in Spirit.
The spirit needs to give you the auction to speak in tongues...

You don't wake up one morning and start speaking in tongues,you must have been given the GIFT of speaking in tongues by the HOLY SPIRIT...

I just want to let people know that it is a GIFT and not something you learn...

God bless you!!!

And where is this SPIRIT?in Heaven?

Many Christians do not yet understand that they have the infilling of the Holy Spirit(as many as have received Him) and that He dwells in them as the bible says.
Are you trying to say that the disciples weren't christians?

So,all this while they were with Jesus they haven't received him as their Lord and Savior?

Comon,for the fact that u receive Jesus as your Lord and savior doesn't mean that you will be given the gift of speaking in tongues or prophesy instantly..

Remember,it is a GIFT and not something you learn...

When you accept Christ,you receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the gift of speaking in tongues.
Once you have received the gift,you have it in you.All you have to do is stir it up as the Scripture says.You don't. Have to wait for it fom heaven as you think Op.

When the pastor says speak in tongues,it means stir it up because it's in you if you have received it.

There are some who try to teach or form it however.For every real,there must be a fake.
I disagree with you..
Why didn't day speak in tongues for long not until the pentecost
day?

The bible said in Act 2:4
King James Bible
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM
UTTERANCE".

I believe the "SPIRIT" has to give us the utterance.

Speaking in tongues is a GIFT,just as the gift of prophecy,healing etc...
Christianity EtcIs Speaking In Tongues A Gift Or A Talent? by Iyke1998(op): 11:38am On Aug 30, 2015
I have found out most people speak in tongues anytime.
Some when eating,some when praying,some when walking etc.

According to the scripture,before the disciples spoke in tongues,the holy came upon them..
But nowadays people don't wait for the Holy spirit to come into them before they start speaking in tongues..

I was in a church sometime ago,and I was surprise when the pastor told us to start speaking in another tongues(Me I started speaking my language oo)

And in most cases,some people keep repeating the same word over and over again.eg "zazazazazaz","bababababa" etch.

Aren't we suppose to be filled with the holy spirit before speaking in tongues?

READ WHAT A MOTHER TOLD HER DAUGHTER ON HER WEDDING DAY
.
My daughter,you are now a wife and soon you'll be become a mother too.

God bear me witness that I taught you how to cook and do other house chores.
I taught you to respect men and to explain your anger when necessary but if you do otherwise,i know you,not as a daughter but as my fellow woman.

My daughter,you see this your husband? He is a gentleman but don't take advantage of that.
Don't bring out the beast in him.

My daughter,you see this mark on my forehead?

Your father gave it to me.
He tolerated me every time but on that day,He came unexpectedly.

It wasn't his intention but i dared him and he hit me just once

My daughter,Men hate it when you use the word "YOU
CAN'T DO IT".
He sure can do more than but he's just protecting you from harm.

My daughter, whenever there is an argument or misunderstanding, try drinking water.
You can't talk when you have water in your mouth.

Now,you have two families.You are very lucky.
Tolerate and appreciate them just as you did here.

Learn to welcome other people's kids and soon, children will surround your table with love.

You see that my big pot? I bought it when i still had no child but i always cooked with it to feed those children who had nothing to eat.

Learn to show hospitality.

Welcome a visitor and at least,offer a glass of water.
Don't discriminate.
Don't shatter your husband's family. instead,bring them together.
Learn to appreciate little efforts and soon,they'll learn to do more.

Today,you are wearing a wedding gown and you look so
beautiful in it but there is still another gown you need to
wear.

That is the MATERNITY gown. I wore it and you shall
wear your's too.

When you have a misundertanding, don't come back here.Sort things out and build a happy home.I built mine
and your father enjoyed me.

Men like food.They like both the kITCHEN food and the
BEDROOM food.Don't deny him any of the food all because you had an arguement.

If the ones i taught you are not enough, learn more!
