THE LAMENTATIONS OF A LOVERHOLIC

All my life I have been searching for someone to love me, someone who would make me complete. I kept wondering if somehow that person was also searching for me

When we first met, my world was not what it is today. You brought my world to order with your sweetness. I have finally met an angel on this earth. I remember how I was so in love with you. You said you felt the same way about me. The problem with love is, you can truly love anyone you want but so can the other person

When you said that we would be together forever, I thought that meant till the day one of us died. Now, I guess forever isn’t as long as it used to be. Everything was going smoothly until you were no longer there to catch me. Your steadfast love ceased and your affection came to an end

You became a god who sat upon some imaginary throne and doled out love in small portions, only when you feel likeYour lips were filled with so many lies and fooling me became your greatest pleasure. I gradually lost faith in the man I treasured and trusted

You gave me so much joy and now I cannot control the depth of the wound you inflicted on my soul. You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes. I don't hate you for not loving me anymore, but I hate myself for still loving you and my heart doesn't know how to stop loving you

When you have loved a man unconditionally and lost that love, it leaves a scar that will never heal. It was hard to accept the loss of you but it was harder to move on without you. If I should die tonight and the reason remains unknown, tell not the whole world, but the one I love that I died of a broken heart, not because he loved me too little but because I loved him too much

I am a woman who has seen the sufferings that comes from loving a man. I have gotten to that point where I know that no man will really love me. I have learned to keep myself away from men because I will eventually get rejected.  They will only tolerate so much of me before they walk away

Where is God? But what right do I have to complain after I have sinned against him with my body. He is a just God and his grace has deserted me now. I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings. I have submitted my heart to God. His faithful love never ends

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO A LOVERHOLIC (PART 2)

You are going to do so many foolish things in the name of love, but don’t be too hard on yourself.

Fall in love with yourself first. So that it will be easy for you to fall in love with someone else.

It takes the same capacity to fall in love as it will take to be alone. If you are capable of falling in love, it also means you are capable of being on your own.

Never go in search of love because you won’t find it. Love is never lost; we are the ones who always seem lost.

If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them.

Don't struggle to make them notice your presence. Just make sure your absence will be felt tremendously.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO A LOVERHOLIC


Sometimes it’s hard to tell why you love someone so deeply because some answers are never enough. The reason for loving someone changes over time and in many ways.

When you love someone so much, their mistakes never change your feelings from them because it is the mind that gets angry but the heart always cares

You fall in love with someone not because of how you feel about them but because of how they make you feel about yourself.

When someone truly loves you, they don’t have to say a word. You will be able to tell simply by their actions. A person can say “I love you” a million times but never take it to heart until they prove it.

Sometimes the person you are willing to take a bullet for ends up being the one behind the gun. Falling in love can sometimes be a risk because you never know what the end may bring. However, the end of love is not the end of life.

Don’t try to make the person you love do the things they don’t want to do. Because you will probably end up feeling bad for yourself and eventually fall out of love with them. True love starts where manipulation stops.

You can fall in love with someone who will be a blessing to your life or fall in love with someone who will teach you the lesson of your life. Either way, never regret falling in love. Love sometimes leaves you for a reason but never leaves you without a lesson.

We all have our shortcomings and are all far from been perfect. Never judge someone you love based on their weaknesses but ensure you uphold their strength and try to help them work on their weaknesses.

You may have to fall in love with awful people once or twice, so that you would be able to appreciate your true love when it comes around.

As an exceptionally jealous lover, you only amplify your insecurities and no amount of reassurance from your partner can help you. Love is not for the faint-hearted.

It takes the same amount of effort in giving your heart to someone and in taking them out of your heart. Always be double sure before you walk away from love.

We all fall in love hoping that the one we give our hearts to look beyond our imperfections and love us the way we are. So we should do likewise by loving them unconditionally.

The day you decide to commit your life to someone, you have decided to look beyond yourself and put that person’s interest ahead of yours at all times.

Be true to your partner even if you cannot be true to yourself. It’s in being true to others that we find the purest kind of love, the kind that never dies even in death.

Always keep in mind that you cannot beseech someone to love you or plead with them to stay when they choose to walk away. The greatest gift you can bestow on someone you love is the freedom of being who they want to be.

Lastly my brethren, if you haven’t found true love yet, don’t give up. There is someone out there waiting to love you just the way you are. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right person, but they are always worth the wait.

SOME AMAZING FACTS ABOUT NIGERIA THAT MOST NIGERIANS DON'T KNOW


Here are some facts about Nigeria that most Nigerians have never heard about:

1. Nigeria is home to seven percent of the total languages spoken on earth. Taraba State alone has more languages than 30 African countries put together. The importance of this fact is more appreciated when one understands that language is the 'soul of culture'

2. South Eastern Nigeria is the densest area in Africa after the Nile Valley in Egypt.

3. Nigeria has the highest rate of twin births in the world. Igbo-Ora, a little town in Oyo State has been nicknamed Twin Capital of the World because of its unusually high rate of twins that is put as high as 158 twins per 1000 births.

4. Nigeria is divided into three by two Rivers.

5. Africa's oldest known boat is the Dufuna Canoe which was discovered in Dufuna village, Yobe State, by a Fulani herdsman in May 1987, while he dug a well in his compound. Various radio-carbon tests conducted in laboratories of reputable universities in Europe and America indicate that the canoe is over 8000 years old, thus making it the oldest in Africa and 3rd oldest in the world.

6. Archaeological evidence shows that human existence in Nigeria has a history which starts from 9000 BC. The Nok civilization (around 500 BC-200 AD) is the earliest known civilization here.

7. The Jos Plateau Indigobird, a small reddish-brown bird, is found nowhere else on the planet but Plateau State, Nigeria.
