THE MYSTERIOUS CHILD AFFLICTED WITH AVOIDABLE PAIN.

-

  "My people perish for lack of knowledge." You have come across that saying right? Yeah!!
"Ogbanje", the mysterious child that dies within a certain time frame and then returns to be born and dies again. This belief lingered for years and it sure destroyed homes.

  Our forefathers made mistakes that cost them a whole lot.
Ignorance feasted on them and no one to show them the light, so they wallowed in darkness and bore the pains and bruises thereof. They believed that "Ogbanje" keeps coming back to torment their lives. 

  Most of our fore parents went as far as giving the next born child a mark or some cuts on their bodies in order to stop the reincarnation. 
I'm sure you must have been told such stories. Yeah I heard a whole lot of them and even got to see for myself such cuts on some folks close to me.
Even, some of them cut off a finger or toe of the child believing a stop has been put to the torments. Outrageous and barbaric acts indeed. Who do we blame?

  Little did they know that the cause of most of the infant mortality were as a result of their genotype, not necessarily the made up changeling myth. 
Sickle cell anaemia was the undiscovered enemy that maimed them all along and because knowledge was far from them, they went with the belief of tormenting spirit child. 

  Now I ask you, "Do you know your genotype?" 
Genotype is the hereditary information that was given to an individual by their parents. It is the genetic type of an offspring.

  How determined and willing are you to let go of that partner whose genotype doesn't tarry with yours instead of bringing kids into this world to suffer them? 

Still single? Please know your genotype and that of your intending spouse before you tie the nuptial knot. It's very crucial and saves you both lots of pains, regrets, emotional down turns and even worse.

Thanks to education. It is indeed a powerful weapon.

MONDAY MOTIVATION. Hello, It's another beautiful new week. Aren't you excited seeing another brand new day? Of course we all ought to.   Yesterday we read of the Boeing 737 MAX crash that killed the whole 157 passengers without any survivor. It was indeed a very terrible loss and I extend my condolences to their families. Imagine yourself in that crashed plane. Can you visualise it? Isn't it enough to be grateful to God? Daily appreciate the life you got, it's a privilege you should hold highly. Alive and healthy is the greatest of all miracles. Be grateful..   Such news of deaths like this make us evaluate our lives, reminding us that we are mere passing shadows. That death is inevitable, and how it will come and when it will come nobody knows. Let's understand that in as much as we all pray for long life, we still have no say when it will come calling.   Value every moments of your life.  Everyday of your life is an opportunity. Ev

Clara happens to be a super hyper, free-style, Tom-boyish, carefree and I know my right kind of girl. She had her own share of criticisms and how an ideal lady should be. Her world was enveloped with ideologies on what need to be done to attract the right kind of guy and how her home should be built. No much emphasis on what her dreams in life were and how they can be realised. You can't go far in life behaving like this, no man will ever marry you, be like a lady, dress decent if not no man will be attracted to you. You ought to be in the kitchen helping your mom so you can learn how to cook for your husband. Your husband will just divorce you and marry another wife. How are you supposed to hold a home with the way you behave? These and many more were the words her parents constantly used to build her world, fixing it all on how to please and live for a man to be fully accepted by the society as a balanced being. Then Clara entered higher institution and as an average studen
