Just 4 Rubies

A lot of people have made comments which has led me to believe that they think I have had it easy in marriage, probably because of the way I write. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your perspective; I haven't, My wife and I have had our fair share of quarrels and disagreements, some of which threatened the very foundation of our marriage; but because we have God, love, tolerance and understanding we always emerge stronger and closer with a renewed resolve each time to stay happily together until death do us part. We have always reminded ourselves that since we are in this until the end, it will be foolish not to create a happy environment for each other and the kids. I don't know what tomorrow holds for us, but one thing is for sure, we will try to keep our promise to each other that we will not let any issues derail our journey. I am not perfect, I have made mistakes and will probably make more, the important thing is to realise when you have erred and genuinely a...

This little girl is Miss Morufat Lawal, a pupil of AUD Basic  School in Fiditi Afijio Local Govt of Oyo State. Fiditi, by all standards is a rural area dominated by farmers. I may not be able to prove it but her parents may not be rich or educated-- in Nigeria, the rich children attend private schools as against government-owned schools LET ME SHOCK YOU ! Morufat is the overall winner of the National Mathematics Competition in Abuja, Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory 2015 beating all contestants from both the Public and Private schools in Nigeria. I celebrate this genius who against all odds remains excellent. She apparently wasn't attending well equipped school, had no access to best resources, didn't get best of meals, parents couldn't afford best of clothings, yet she conquered everyone! For her brilliant performance, she was awarded a N6 million scholarship by the National Mathematical Centre (NMC), Abuja. Morufat now attends International Model Science Aca...

The 2017 edition of the Miss Blacksatino has produced Mary Oluwatosin as its latest queen. Mary won the contest by transforming from Size 18 to Size 6. When she asked how she did it, Mary said “It is the craziest thing within a very short time. I wasn't​   confident in that body at all, couldn't wear the dresses I wanted… So I started exercising in my room out of frustration. I did sit ups, jogged on a spot and did several other routines. Later, I started jogging with two big German shepherd dogs and climbing hills with them (my brother was with me jogging).   We leave home as early as 5:30am and don't get back until about 9pm . It was crazy because I didn't get results immediately as I expected magic.” “The transition is my testimony” she added. The Queen, who won out of 20 contestants says she is elated and will never take the position for granted.

Relationship doesn’t just break in a day. Before a break up finally occurs, there are signs that will point to its destination. Most of this yellow signs are glaring but many find it difficult to recognize them, until they turn red card. When a break up is staring at their faces, there are warning signals which if you take notice of; will save you from volcanic shock that characterize unexpected break up. These signs are: 1.      Reduction in calls: when someone who calls you often, sends text messages expressing his or her love now forgets to call, reduces the call to once a week or once a month. And when you complain, “Sorry I forgot” is the answer you get, it is a sign that you are losing your place in his or her heart. 2.      Busyness: When he or she has engaged in things that take priority over you. He or she doesn’t have time for you, no time to discuss, pray, study the Bible, no time to visit and no time to go out together. It is a...
