STEALING FOOLISHNESS? (1)

    One day a hunter went into the forest to hunt for meat for his family. That  early morning the forest was calm unlike other days, no roaring of lions, no scary sounds and funny enough plenty of the animals he wanted to hunt were just coming to him  pleading to be hunted. so he did not have to go deep in the forest that day. The hunter was suspicious and he picked only one since he was suspicious, he killed it and took it home,  he surveyed the meat before his family started eating. The meat was good but the hunter did not enjoy it.Why?

    The next morning while it was still very dark, the hunter embarked on another hunting mission. The wind was blowing hard and the trees seemed to be falling down. The  hyenas, lions roared and other scary sounds were heard from a distance. The hunter's heart throbbed but he was brave and went in to the forest, he went deep but there was no sign of game, he continued going deeper, then suddenly he stepped on a huge snake. The snake coiled and and came face to face with the hunter, the hunter struggled with it and killed it. 
    The hunter went deeper and deeper, he encountered other scary animals and conquered them all and hunted the game he wanted and took it home. That day he ate the meat to his satisfaction and he was pleased with himself. Why? I will get back to this story later.
    Since time immemorial, Africans have always been known for their honesty. In yester years children were given heavy punishment for lying or stealing but these days, it is like a culture to lie and steal and people just don't give a damn anymore.
I know many of my viewers are going to disagree with me on this one but anyway, a woman gotta do what a woman got to do. (oops! Did I just steal that) .......................To be continued tomorrow.

                                               UNDER CONTROL There was once a little girl named Amani. She was born to a clan that was well known for oversleeping. To them oversleeping was a tradition. Most of the clan members knew it was their custom and so they slept even when they had no sleep, they just had to force it. Amani's mother was among the few exceptions. She tried to instill the value of waking up early to all her four children but they were all hard on her advice. After all, almost everybody was sleeping so why would they have bothered. Amani saw some sense in her mother's advice and she tried it. At first it was not that easy. One day she said a different prayer and went to sleep. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early. The next day early in the morning she was up early but still she had a problem; she had nothing to do.  That day at night, she said another different prayer. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early and give her something ni

TECH SHAME     It's good to be conscious of where you are going and by what means you are getting to your destination. I recently experienced an embarrassing situation due to ignorance.      I was tired, I crossed the road of this busy street, almost got ran over. I didn't want to go further so the first matatu that came along, I was in. I sat on the nearest available seat. Next to me was a man probably in his late seventies, he was the talkative type. He asked me if I was going the same destination with him, I nodded in agreement, he kept giving me this curious look, as he was about to make further inquiries, the screen was on and loud sounds emanated from the speakers, at first, this came as a relief but it wasn't. The song being played was full of obscene language and equally obscene visual images, the first time I looked at the screen I literally went blind for some minutes. I vowed to be blind throughout the journey but my old friend would not let me.

                                                             LOVE  Love.this word arouses lots of feelings in people. Back in the days love was a tradition especially in Africa. People used to love one another regardless of the circumstances. There was no need for one to love somebody from the mere fact that they knew them. In those days, the phrase "I love you" was used genuinely. I once had a friend, at the time of this incident am narrating, she was about seventeen years of age. It was valentine season, flowers and those three words were trending. My friend's crush saw this as a nice opportunity, to convince my friend.  He came with his confidence all refreshed and beautiful red and white flowers in hand. We were in the school's play ground when he came and presented the flowers and the three words to her.  Just then, my friend ran towards the direction of the gate, screaming inaudible words.  She took the whole school's attention with
