Who says man do not cry. Cry of cry hungry you Animals live their true identity Not chained by the expectation of society Eat when hungry Mate when Hot Without feeling ashamed No clergy to place blame A New born child is a sinner So says a book that praises murderers The gods created us nude Yet unclothedness is a taboo it makes no sense But we do not want to look different So we put on a covering And betray our true feeling. We hide our true self And show our false self We tell children not to cheat We are no different from hypocrite Stop the pretence Break the fence Speak your unpopular opinion Though it may conflict with established institution Be yourself in the face of death Your killers will oneday loose their breath It is better to say your mind Than to live a lie How will someone else accept you When you cannot love you https://tobechispeaks./2020/10/24/inner-guidance/ |
The image of a foetus stabbing a helpless woman keep playing on my head. It was all my fault. If not for me She would be alive today A choice had to be made My life or hers I lived she did not. I took her life. She gave me mine If superstition were true The circumstances surrounding ones birth Gives a clue of his mission. I took a life the day I was born She died during child birth Each time my birthday draws near My soul is filled with guilt Reminds me of my life purpose I am born to kill https://tobechispeaks./2020/10/27/suffering-and-smiling/ |
Imo girls are good as buisness partners. The kind of marriage a typical African want- one that they will control the wife, - cannot be done by Igbo woman. She is as smart if not smarter than the man. Two of them go dey crack Sence for house until divorce. https://tobechispeaks./2020/11/16/relate-dont-marry/ |

When trust is lacking in a relationship, no need to wed |
It depends on the relationship between the prankee and any of the couple. If she is a stranger and we are not close, I will faint and Sue her for high blood pressure medical damage. If na my paddy, and I have done her a prank in the past, I will forgive her |

I will not attempt to look at his graph to determine the autjencity of his research. It is not my duty to investigate. I will believe my president alone. It does not matter if CNN traces the bullet with satellite. I believe Lai Mohammed more. He is saying the truth because he is authority. We should not think for ourselves. education.We had to obey the written and unwritten laws of the land or risk getting jailed. No one cares if you enjoy paying taxes. I learnt my third lesson : suppress your feelings and conform to societal expectation. All these education taught me to focus on ideas outside of myself. My parents, religion and society had little or no concern for my feeling . Pleasure and humor are to be swept underground.I am not to search for my own happiness even when my happiness does not interfere with that of others. I feel guilty for pursuing my dream. It means I am deviating from the dreams of the religious group,parents or society. It means I am a selfish fellow. I am a rebel for not living a duty oriented life. Selfishness is synonymous with evil. A selfish person is one who is concerned with his own need. when did that becomes a terrible thing . we are encouraged to sacrifice our desire . Is self sacrifice really a virtue? Teaching of self sacrifice encourage one to value others more than oneself. It may lead to low self-esteem.Self sacrifice teaching has prevented many of us from achieving our dream. https://tobechispeaks./2020/11/21/educated-to-sacrifice/ |

So it’s actually shocking and funny when people act like you commit heresy by saying African parents are toxic and/or abusive. This is not me pointing an accusing finger at your family (although if you feel attacked, check your family) and it is by no means a generalization. I think it’s interesting how people I’ve interacted with that have abusive parents never agree that their parents are abusive but are sometimes the same ones that say the minute they move out of their parents’ house, they’re done with their parents. I believe and always say that the first step to progress is acceptance, you’ve got to accept your reality as it is, no painting and colouring. How do you explain parents cutting their children with broken plates because they broke a plate? Or how do you explain a parent constantly using whips and belt heads to flog their children? Or you think that’s too extreme? What about the parents whose teaching/correction/love language is cane? Or slaps? Are you raising goats? https://tobechispeaks./2020/11/20/most-african-parents-are-toxic/ |
Absent fathers in black family. White families are over complete. Dog self na family member |

And then beyond the physical abuse that abounds and is now the norm in our homes, let’s talk about the verbal abuse. When people recount what their parents tell them sometimes, I’m honestly in shock. The last one I heard, I had to say she wasn’t the man’s child, because I can’t imagine a parent say these horrible words to their children. But apparently, it is a thing! Like Sefi Atta said in Everything Good Will Come, by the time these kids are grown, they’d have beat out every creativity in the child and shouted out every initiative from the child. Somehow though, we’ve grown to see these things as “normal” and even pride in them to the point of anticipating giving your child such dreadful childhood, and I think this is what I’m most concerned about. The argument is constantly that “we turned out fine because of this training”, nahh boo! Permit me to shock you, you didn’t! You turned out fine, in spite. In fact, how do you know you’re fine even? Because you’re wearing top and trouser? A lot of us have vary levels of psychological and emotional issues as a result of “this training”. I feel like we need to get to the point where we realize and admit our parents are not perfect and so are bound to make mistakes. They probably did their best based on the amount of exposure and understanding they had but we can definitely do better. Being toxic is not and should not be a sign of “Africanness” – this is a narrative that needs to be changed tbh (one day we’d talk about the shitty narratives we were handed, one day but not today).

You do not need to pray for one. Find your life purpose, do your life purpose, In the process,you will discover one on a similar life purpose then you can get married Relationship is no longer about two individuals who want to get married and raise kids.because they have come of age or teaming up to meet our basic need of food, shelter, sex etc Relationship is about one person who is on a mission and discovers another person who is on a similar mission and they team up to embark on facing the challenges together .Relationship is a journey not a destination.Your partner inspire you to become a better version of your self. Not all relationship should lead into marriage. A relationship Should make you better version of yourself while pursuing the mission. The mission is the focus of the relationship and not the partner. You do not complete your partner or look for a partner to complete you. No, you focus on something outside yourselves . The mission could be to render legal services to those who cannot provide one or to design a more efficient way of generating electricity or reform the lives of ex convicts or to impact values and principles to preteens or to spread the Marxist philosophy to the world or to build a mediation center for conflict resolution or to speak for the freedom of the oppressed.You grow with your partner. When the mission is a long term mission of over twenty years , They may decide to get married. Marriage should never be the mission for any relationship. Marriage may be introduced for long term journey . https://tobechispeaks./2020/11/16/relate-dont-marry/ |

So many things |
When we teach ladies they are valueless until they get married. Society has a role to play |
News. Has buhari resign |
You should be in a stage of self discovery. It is stone to remove all what society has planted in your brain to become your true self. It is a period to experiment with various jobs you like until you find the one that clicks. It is a time to discover your life purpose on Earth. |
Dial your number on true caller and confirm whose name appears |
Make up is for fellow girls |
Marriage is not for everyone |
Discover your life work |
