So just had to blog earlier this week. With November 4th (2008 obviously) being a very historic day in the United States! Am sure we all remember where we were when Obama was elected as being the 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Some of us couldn't laugh or cry, others cried, laughed and screamed. Finally Martin Luther King's dream had come true. The world stands to witness this victory. And as Obama puts it, it's we (the voters), the people that own this victory. In his words; "Change has come to America". Yes we can, is now as of November 4th 2008...YES WE HAVE!
Our prayer is God would give him the strength to lead his people. Like Obama said "it might not be done in 1yr or in a term, slowly but surely we would get there."
And to top it all...his acceptance speech [which was *speechless*] and this whole event is something we all can learn from.
"This victory alone is not the change we seek- it is only the chance for us to make that change."
CONGRATULATIONS TO AMERICA'S 44TH PRESIDENTIAL ELECT...BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
As we all know: "Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk, Martin walked so that Barack Obama could run, Obama is running so that our children can fly." Keep the flag flying people.
This victory tells us that; when we dream we should dream BIG, don't give up, it would take a lot of hard work, but it's all worth it. YES YOU CAN, YES WE HAVE!
Adios!

5ive Categories of Wives...
Hope you aren't surprised at the title of this post...lol! Oh well, what can we say? This was inspired by someone in the film industry. And according to the person there are five categories of women. Would agree with the way these five categories were described. So here goes the list;
The categories are as follows:
1.) Double Dealers: They are neither here nor there. Not because they don't want to get married, but their ex-lovers won't let them. They answer to both their husbands and their concubines. Sometimes they treat their concubines better than they treat their husbands.
2.) Friends: They are friends to the husbands and at the same time to the concubines. They can have two husbands in their neighborhood.
3.) Elders- known as 'egbon'* (a.k.a The Controllers): They behave as if God has given them powers. They are very powerful and whatever they say musn't be changed. It's a case of 'yes' and 'amen', no questions asked! They give orders to their husbands and they don't see it as something bad. Even her mother-in-law dare not come pay them a visit. She'll throw out her property: After all, 'why does she have to come without any prior notice?' She won't like to see her husband's relations, but her husband will and must take care of the responsibilities of her own relations!
The above 3hree types are placed in the 'bad' categories.
4.) A Wife like a Mother: 'If a mother is talking to her child, if the child is sensible and responsible, he'll listen to his mother'. This is a wife that wants nothing but the best for her husband.
5.) A Wife like a Child: A wife who will advice her husband and, who will be very industrious.
*Note: 'egbon' is a yoruba word for someone older than you (i.e. senior).
Now, wouldn't be surprised if some people do not agree with these categories, bearing in mind it's based on a subjective view. But we would probably have people who agree with one or more of the above categories. It's been nice having you around. Stay safe and have a blast this new week! And a big thank you to the new readers who have stopped by. Gracias!
