Dear God, We Need To Talk...

Dear God, we need to talk...

Dear God....

Like bitter leaf, my heart is bitter,

Like walnuts, the ache of my life is getting tighter and harder to crack...

I am tired..

I have been tired before now,

But this, this is worse.

Worse than anything I have experienced before.

I am hurt..

I am depressed..

I cry..

I fail..

I AM TIRED.

They say "talk to God", but each time I close my eyes, tears drop from my eyes and no sound comes out of my mouth, except for wailings and sobbing.

And when I eventually summon the courage and will to talk to you, you seem far away,

And like the harmattan wind, my prayers disappear.

Dear God, We need to talk...

Tell me,

Why do I struggle, while others thrive?

Why do I languish and toil, yet nothing works?

Why do I toil like an elephant, and eat like an ant?

Why am I trying to live a just and righteous life, yet hardship and pain are my constant companions?

Why?

Is it fate, or just a cruel joke by you or your angels, or is this karma for the bad things I did in my past life?

Dear God....

I've cried out loud, like a drowning man,

But my voice is lost, in the crowd of suffering.

I've searched for peace,

But like a restless sea, my heart remains uneasy,

I've tried to put my hands to work,

But like the absence of water in the desert, I have nothing to show for my hard work.

Dear God, we need to talk...

I need to understand,

Why my life is difficult, why I must always struggle tirelessly before I can enjoy one good thing of life.

Is it a test, or just a cruel hand that have been dealt me by my village people or by me myself?

Dear God, we need to talk,

I have questions that I need answers to.

When will things get better?

When will I start enjoying my life?

When will I see my younger siblings calls and messages, and I don't get scared that it's Billings coming?

When will life be fair to me?

When will I be able enjoy the good things of life?

When will I start to enjoy the fruit of my labors?

Dear God,

My heart is heavy, my soul is weak,

I need answers, a reason to carry on,

A reassurance that I'm not alone, that everything will be alright.

Dear God, answer me, because we need to talk.

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie. This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...

King Of Swazi chooses Wife, Publicly Test Girls' Virginity As They Dance Naked. (Photos)

A common tradition in Swaziland (Swazi) permits the King, Mswati, to choose a new bride every year. This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news. Although, many consider this barbaric and backward, it’s a tradition the people willingly embrace as the aim is to help King Mswati choose a wife. As part of Swazi custom and norms, that time of the year has come, when the King chooses his bride and again, he has reportedly tested some of the volunteered girls’ virginity before choosing a wife for himself. Thousands of pretty virgins’ were seen in this year’s edition dancing topless for King Mswati III, on what is called the Reed Dance ceremony, also known as Umhlanga), hoping to be his next wife. The Reed Dance ceremony is an annual Swazi and Zulu tradition hel...

Ijakumo Movie Review

Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give. Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words??? I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...
