  THE HATE YOU GIVE, LIVES INSIDE FOREVER (THUG LIFE)      C redit to Tupac Shakur and his other friends who are the original owners of the word. Albeit I won’t be going by their definition of a thug. You see, a lot of us see a thug as someone who is ruthless, someone who doesn’t care a hoot about the feelings of others.       W e see them as someone who are bad-tempered, not serious with their life, and ill-behaved and we just zero on them. We look at them from a distance and we just decide that they are not to be reckoned with and we blame them for their kind of personality.

HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE AROUND YOU.  From the existence of the world, man is to relate with the people around him. In one way or the other, there is always an association between an individual with others either temporary or permanent. A group of people might come together to carry out an experiment or a discovery, and then separate after the success of what they intended to do. That is a temporary relationship. Also, a man and his child will have a permanent relationship throughout the days of their lives. Relationship means connection and interaction with people. In an organisation, there will surely be a relationship between the staff or workers. The fact is that the level of relationship defers, there's what we call general relationship and we can also have personal relationship.

IS HE READY ?, IS SHE READY?, ARE WE READY?      I may lack experience in this aspect I am about to delve into and so, you may see this as a not so good write up and may not take this write-up as not useful. This is because we are all so locked up with the archaic mentality that experience is the best teacher. But, let me bring to our understanding that, although I lack personal experience, I have little experience from real life scenes and some from written content of other  peoples experience.So, let me share the little I have learnt.      To begin with, it is always wise to learn from people’s experience than to be an experience yourself so, do not be fooled by the quote experience is the best teacher.  Marriage in recent times has proven to be an issue that should be treated with great importance, this isn’t because things changed with marriages, it is because countless errors are now committed before marriages ...

MASKED AGONY  Numerous things are going on presently, and it is saddening. If we cry out loud it sounds like a whisper, and when we even whisper it seems we are not making any sound. Join us on WhatsApp  I wish to write about the Owo, Ondo state Catholic Church massacre, but words fail me and my heart is sick. Since I cannot bring myself to write I cannot also put aside this" I pray for all lost souls to rest in peace”, for those who lost someone, I pray for the fortitude to bear the lost for them, for the injured the swift recovery they deserve, those whose lives are dangling I pray God spares their lives. Then, for the perpetrators of this evil and their backers, we rain a heap of fire and pray their judgement comes hastily. Join us on WhatsApp  So, today I decided to write about another pain our great giant is putting us through at the moment.

One Day At The🌾🌾 General Hospital🌿🌿.   It is not that I haven't been to a general hospital before, no I have, but the fact of always being the one that needed the care didn't give the luxury of what went on around.  listen to us You see, recently I was at a general hospital and before my eyes I saw lives flip on and off.  We had just rushed the one I could call the dearest relative of mine to the hospital, but let me save that for another time. listen to us My first emotional turbulence started with a woman, she had been on admission for a while, I suppose. This information I gathered after some hours, but you see despite treatment this woman wasn't responding as presently I was there. She kept moaning at intervals. I just thought what could be wrong, why was she crying that much because you require no doctor to diagnose that she was really in pain. listen to us Not too long again, a man walked in with different cuts, the sight was an 🤕🤕🤕unwholesome sig...

Happy new month from all of us at Skinnies. Thanks for your usual support. We love you all. “Do you” Follow our page The term "do you” has become a popular statement of encouragement in our today's settings? To every Tom, Dick, and Harry that seeks advice or a piece of soothing words, the response is usually do you buttress with " if it makes you happy". But, have we ever wondered if everything that makes Jadesola happy is the right thing? follow our page  Today I want to ask a question but before then, let me paint some scenarios.  Let me begin with the not long ago issue that happened. A lady was reported to have slept with a dog for a sum of 1.5 million Naira. I may be wrong with assumption here but, I would like to believe that she must have told someone beforehand or hinted to someone, and they would have asked her to do it if she is okay with it. So, let me ask a quick question, if we ask people to do what they choose to do if it makes ...

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU! Skinnies Blog Update group In one of the teachings of Jesus Christ (known to Muslims as Prophet ʿĪsā عِيسَىٰ), said 'Love your enemies, do good to them that persecute you' and in another of His teachings said 'Love your neighbours as yourself' . Although there exist some dichotomies amongst all religions of the world, it is imperative that we know that we all have a central point of convergence: GOD! All religion, except some that doesn't agree to the existence of God, pray to the Most High deity; God! The message he: Jesus (Prophet ʿĪsā عِيسَىٰ) came to preach was love. And all religions of the world practice it to the best of their ability. A group of artiste (for Kings and Country) sang in one of their songs that '....No one ever wins, when the goal is to settle a score....' The truth is when everyone tries to be perfect, or be the 'right' one, everyone eventually neglect what is right...

     If you have never heard that your life is like an artwork, let me give you the gist. Artworks are of different forms, do not think only drawings are the only kind of artwork but even if they are, they sure fit into the analogy I am about to make.  A man begins a drawing one day, he starts by bringing out his canvas and every other necessary material for his drawing. This astonishing man has not drawn anything in his life before, but he is prepared to have the best drawing yet seen in the world.  You wonder how he intends to get through this well. This man has seen other people's drawings and watched diligently how others drew but now if he had been diligent or his diligence has been worthwhile, we did know after he has drawn.  Now look at the life of a man, who comes into the earth he has never lived before, but he intends to make the nicest thing out of life by watching what others do, adding some spices where he deems necessary but do you...

                                        EYE CONTACT IN CONVERSATION. Few months ago, I spoke to my friend on the phone. The truth is, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Our friendship was getting cold, the only surviving tool for reviving our friendship was the heartwarming messages we text to each other.The memories of what we used to be were drastically fading, like the mist of a breath on a mirror. Anyway, fate smiled at us, we were going to meet, my heart skipped as he said these words “I just can't wait to see you”. In no time, we met. My countenance was beaming with excitement when I first saw his behind. I could hear my heart screaming 'gosh he has grown taller; I love it'. Without thinking, I rushed to him and hugged him from behind, we giggled like sillies. Not too long later, we decided to initiate a conversation, when suddenly his eyes dropped t...

Today, I want to bring back the memory of how Nigeria became independent. The Nigerian Independence Movement began as nationalist who had been outside the shores of Nigeria to study came back and saw that we couldn't go on like that. These nationalists include Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo and Anthony Enahoro.  These nationalists fought hard for the liberation of their beloved country, and they believed in our many resources and the vast wealth stored in our beloved Nigeria.  Nigeria is truly a blessed country, and it would be a huge mistake to let the British continue to rule over us. So, they fought until we became independent in 1960.  After Nigeria gained Independence Oh yes, the freedom we were looking for, freedom to govern ourselves, to own our finances, have our own rules and no second class citizens for anyone.  Even after 62 years, I still have a strong feeling that there is still that desire and passion for independence.  But now, we a...
