PINKYS CORNER

It is so disheartening and aggravating trying to board a bus from Ibadan(Iwo Road to be precise) to Lagos after long time stress at UCH.


Straight to the gist, we left UCH around 3:28pm on Thursday. We had planned getting a bike to take us to Iwo road but we decided to go in a small car used by Ibadan transporters(Micra).

We got to Iwo road, alighted and headed towards Lagos bus which was called 1k per head.


If you are familiar with Ibadan very well, you will notice they have all these old  women who love to beg and most annoying thing, you will also see fit looking boys and girls (I am not against that cuz no one knows what led them to such act).


The said beggars are fond of making you look stupid and feel guilty when begging for help except if you are the strong hearted being, that's when you will ignore them. You will hear something like:


*Olori ebi, joo saanu funmi, omo araye oni gba oju lowo e
*A woman of 50years, will say, Okomi, wan ni fegba fun e lol nje he(Awon alakoba)
*another can say, moto yin o ni jam,oni run lojo ti ebi pa ona.( you will want to give cuz you go think am say, your journey far small).


As if that's not enough, then the next set of people will come to advertise and you will hear something like
*boda mi, kokoro ni eleyi oo, baba kaabo o.o kule(like they know you are married and have kids)


If you tend not to answer, you will hear
*Uncle, ebami ra nkan now, ki awon imo yin Le le brun(as if the children she is talking about is yours).

I really dont like these kinds of encounters at all....

Pinky nice one, writing frees the mind... i hope to read more from you!

Having a column is open to all BVs who wanna brush their writing skills... its OK to make mistakes and learn

INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD

Growing up, I could count a lot of deadbeat and absentee fathers among my friend’s parents and they were much. Today the cycle still continues, so many men are still absentee dads and terrible husbands. 

It saddens my heart to see that many of the boys I grew up with fall into this category. It’s really hard to wrap my head around the fact that the same abused and battered men are now abusers.

Domestic violence is on the rise. A lot of men are abusive. (I am not excusing the women folks but today is about the man). Not just in marriage, in other walks of life. Ritual killings and fraudulent activities are on the rise.

It’s easy to fold our arms and complain about the situation but what are we doing about it. A new generation of husbands, fathers, young business men and career men are rising up, will it get worse or better.

I ask myself questions like how am I raising my sons? Am I raising these young men to be better and do better?. Am I raising men who fear God, who are law abiding citizens, who are going to be wonderful fathers and husbands?

There are lots of emphasis on raising the girl child and we forget that the boys are equally important, they need to be taught how to be exemplary men, sons and fathers, they need to be protected from abuse too.

Please it’s better to live alone in peace than to stay in a toxic marriage where your children are exposed to terrible habits.

 Break the cycle .

Nice one!....break the cycle of abuse but some people no dey hear, they will claim they are staying back cos of the kids..
