Networking Friends on Facebook

Facebook friends, who are they?

 I just got this off a friend's Facebook wall and I couldn't but laugh till I almost got choked.


Friendship on Facebook can be good, great and very great0. In real life,  once you categorise someone as "My Friends", it is expected that you know much about them, but with the Social networking now the orther of the day, friends come and friends go.


It become easy to have thousands of "Friends" both the ones you know, have seen before and the unseen, unknown ones. It becomes easy to unfriend a friends. Some do it to raise their profile, so that they wont be the only ones left out, or to make come connections (business or otherwise).

Friends turns to subscribers

The story now goes this way:

on a busy day, in a heavy traffic, a lovely looking woman saw a figure standing close to her, she was very sure she has met the figure somewhere before, so she summoned the courage to ask.

The woman beckoned on the man - a begger who was by her side to come closer, when the man approached her car, the following conversation ensured:

Woman: Your face looks familiar, I think I have seen you before.

Beggar: <<Laughs out very loud>> and said "Madam we are friends on facebook"

You better make sure you know who your Facebook or other social network site friends are. Let me leave you for now till you finish your laughter!!!!

Love-The Surprise Of Life

Her boyfriend was all the talks she knows about. The only current affairs in her linguistic dictionary was how powerfully connected her boyfriend is, and how very BIG his house is. 

She holds him to a very high esteem, talks about him at every possible space she gets. She has been bragging about him to all her girlfriends – he is so rich, generous, caring and handsome.

One day, she informed all her girlfriends that her top short boyfriend was visiting. The next evening, everyone was high in expectation, and as described, the boyfriend cam, looking very hawwwt, tantalising, brandishing a good write watch, great neck chain, in fact he was truly good looking.

Regrettable, the affluent, dashing young man came with a loaf of the local bread – AGEGE BREAD as a gift to his beloved girlfriend.

The girl was demoralised, dejected, with a feel of disappointment and furious anger, she threw the loaf of bread at him, while heaping him with unprintable about of insults in the full glimpse of her friends and people around.

Embittered, the young man took the AGEGE BREAD, sliced it into two, and behold to the amazement of everyone present, behold a shining piece of work – A CAR KEY and glittering ENGAGEMENT RING fell out of the loaf.

• Now if you are the young man, what would you do? 
• Assuming you are the lady in questing, what would be your reaction? 

Airplane Crash Victim Saved By His Mistress

The fastest means of travel

Sometimes in life, many things happen for us to either learn from it or, just to prove a point. But other things happen and you wonder what really the point or reason for such phenomenal occurrences are for.

Imagine if this was the situation you found yourself. what exactly would be your reaction.

A married father of 4 have been planning a trip from Abuja to Lagos State, Nigeria for months now. He has concluded where his "Business trip" would be, he needed no Nigerian Visa, because he is a Full Nigerian. and where he is coming from and going to, has no need of a Nigerian Visa.

On that faithful morning, he gathered all his documents and clothes and hurriedly asked the wife to drop him off to the airport.

Once the wife left, he gave himself a little time, then took the next available taxi to the "Business Meeting venue" - the house of his mistress.

The following morning, as she was relaxing at home, she was suddenly woken up by series of phone calls about the "Breaking News on the television" She couldn't bear the news when she heard it. It was like the ground was opening and about to swallow her. The news on the television was that the airplane the husband "boarded" has crash landed.

The man of her dreams, the only man who swept her feet off the ground and made her a complete woman. The man that she adores and loves so much. The only man who has taken her to the clouds and back again, landing safely. The only man who has made her feel what is called Loved; this man has been swept off by the wicked hands of death. Where will she begin from, how can she cope, death has broken her fragile heart, life has dealt her a strong blow.

She couldn't bear the burden alone, so she called the Mother-in-law, the Sisters and everyone she could remember. The whole family was turned into automatic mourning zone.

As arrangement was being made to go to the scene of the accident to identify and claim the body, the door opened and low and behold, the fine gentleman - The father of the house who was supposed to have died in the fetal air crash, walked in.

He started confessing of how he had planned everything and had gone to sleep in the house of his mistress and every other question that no one asked him.

Now if you are the wife, what would you do?
If you are the Mother, what would you do?
If you are the children, what would you tell Daddy?

Developing Your Mind For Greatness

I believe the mind is a field that is not so much tapped, and if truly developed can bring in many wonderful fruits.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on, for according to Moliere,

‎"A wise man is superior to any insult which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation. "-Moliere

Statistics say that 10% of all people won’t like us, so let’s enjoy the 90% who do and stop worrying about the 10% who don’t!

Have a blessed day and please remember that its is important to cultivate the habit of Developing your mind for greatness.

Backpacking? Time to start Parking

Backpacking, Get the groove on!

Its that time of the year when everyone wants to go Backpacking, allowable places on your mind. Austrialia in many people's mind.

Both old, young and young at heart, wish to evaluate their time, get packing and off they go. The School year has ended, the time for adventure is now.

Now the Spirit of backpackianism has caught up with me, I constantly have Australia on my mind.

I have the basic things I think I need, most Importantly, I have my head, my brain, my laptop, my camera, my blackberry phone, my iPad and an iphone intact.

I also have some clothes, but lack what it takes to get the gears in order, because I have never backpacked before. So am calling on all backpacking entusiasts, backpacking scholars, backpacking mentors, backpacking fans and all Backpackers to help a-would-be Backpacker out.

• What do I require to have a safe backpacking trip?
• Apart from Australia, where are the best hotspot for Backpacking?
• Any tips on safety while Backpacking?

Thanks for your esteemed Backpacking tips.

Even in recession, Tips are essential!

Food for thoughts

On a hot afternoon, with the sun angrily smiling down from the high orbital space, the humans down on Earth perspiring and yarning for something good, nice and cold to drink, eat or savour.

Its only left to the imagination to understand what must have been going through your head when you stumble into a very nice resturant looking round you see good looking faces, nice clothes, great scents oozing off their well shapped bodies. Shoes, clothes, belts, skirts to match with their smiles.

Alass your mind tells you that you have finally entered into a nice cool place, where the heat of the sun can never meet with you to shake your hands and smile at your face.

A way to any man's heart

A beautuful smiling figure approaches you to ursher you to a well decorated seat, pointing to the side for options of where to seat.

"Come seat near the end, its more beautiful with enough space to feed your eyes!"

Off to the seat beside the window you go, still wondering and waiting in anticipation of what next to come.

Now lets spare you the story of how you ordered your food and how the well manicured fingers delived them at your table, asked you if you needed any more service (still smiling) and gracefully walked away with a huge smile on her face.

Dinner is Served!

Now all am taking about here is the good customer Service I recieved from a Hotel Resturant (Name witheld until I write a review for them) in Limerick City.

Tell me, if it were you, would you give any tips; or more directly, how much tips would you be willing to leave to those graceful service or smiles.

NB: if you don't answer, that means you are a tips dodger. Loool

Love A Lifetime Venture of Learning

Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress. It is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering and growing.

The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go. We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves.

On falling out of love, take some time to heal and then get back on the horse. Dont ever make the same mistake of riding the same one that threw you the first time.

To love is to risk rejection; to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is risking nothing. To reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose true self; to love is to risk not to be loved in return.

Love indeed is a Lifetime Venture of Learning

Is There a Power Of Love?

When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love, it really doesnt matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go.

You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy, even if his or her happiness means that your not a part of it. Everything happens for the best. If the person you love doesn't love you back, dont be afraid to love someone else again, for you'll never know unless you give it a try. You'll never love a person unless you risk for love.

Love strives in hurting. If you don't get hurt, you dont learn how to love. Love doesnt hurt all the time, though the hurting is still there to test you and help you grow.

Don't find love, let love find you. That is why it is called falling in love because you dont force yourself to fall. You just fall. You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.

Remember, Don't find love, let love find you. If you eventually Fall in Love, yaybe you may find Love, to be a Lifetime Venture of Learning, discovering and growing.

How Far Can You Go For The Man Or Woman Of Your Dreams?

How far can you go for Love?

One early morning as she was doing her usual commute to her work place, she beheld a sparkling smile, which caught her very "un-impressible" attention.


After "falling out of Love" from her last relationship, Nicole has been finding it hard to “like another man” , no to talk about falling in Love.

This very day proved that she still has that magnetic attraction in her eyes. She beheld a tall, handsome and good looking man; a man she (later) revealed was the man of her Dreams.
Nicole recalled that faithful day. "I was passing by the Bank and saw this sparking face, his teeth were as bright as the clouds, his face was radiant with smiles like the early morning sun, he was "all manly" and I couldn’t but marvel at the handi-work of God."

"I would say that God took his time to create him, and my guess is that he was created on a Sunday, when God must have been resting and had no other Job(s) to do.” She continued.

Nicole did the “un-doable” and went the greatest length a woman would go to get the best dress, Jewry, or most especially shoes for an occasion. After seeing “her man”, Nicole kept a tab and tracked the Banks numbers, she first went back to her office and as the Bank was not too far from her office, she came back again during lunch time, she searched for “her man”, but he was nowhere to be found.

She took all the Bank telephone numbers she could lay her hands on at that particular time, and started calling the numbers. She must have called the Bank’s switch board a million times, and all the time she kept calling the Switch Board, she always gives the description of “her man” to the various staff that answered.

When this calling method did not yield any result, she resorted to try her charm in another way. Summing up courage and “borrowing a great deal of confidence”, she marched to the bank and left a Note for “her man”.

Well, do you need me to finish up the story? Well, they have been together for more than three (3) years now and counting.

This then leaves me to one great question: “How far can you go to get the Man or Woman of your Dreams”

What "Crazy" thing have you done for love? Please kindly let us know.

Madly In Love With A Strange Stranger

A Strange Stranger's Kiss

Imagine you were gisting with your very close friend about a very tall, handsome and good looking man you have fallen head over heels in love with.
You were so praising about his qualities and "quantities". You get so carried away with your praises and start to disclose of some real intimate moments with him.

When it was the turn of your bosom friend, she goes on to tell you about her own man she has been leaning on his shoulders, and have fallen so deeply in love with as well, and all her experience with him.

After a brief giggling moment, you mentioned to her of a distant friend who is almost at the concluding part of her wedding plans with a sweet looking guy.

There was a moment silence and as she spoke again, U could feel that she was becoming paranoid, asking some question if the man has married before, divorced or just "plain" single.

You now ask yourself : "why all these questions"? But remembered she told you of the man's status (divorced with 2 kids).

Suddenly, she emails you a copy of her man's picture to confirm. Low and behold, its the same man.

The wonderfully described man is in love with the two girls. And the Girl is madly in love with a strange Stranger!

If you are in the same shoes...........would you tell you friend of your finding?

Lost in the Bosom of a Merged Heart

A woman was suspecting her husband of doing the rounds (cheating on her), one day she traced her man to his girlfriend’s house and sat by the other side of the road in her car watching him and his antics. At the wee hours of the night, she used her own spare car keys and drove the car away and hid it in their unused garage in their marital home. In the morning, the husband was alarmed about the whereabouts of his car, but could not do anything about it, because of the situation(s) surrounding where he parked the car.

Summing up the courage, he came back home and told the wife that his car was snatched at gun-point. The wife played along and thanked God that her Dear husband was saved unharmed by these “dangerous” armed bandits.

One faithful Sunday, the wife organised a very BIG Thanksgiving Service and then a BIG party afterwards. At the party, after all the accolades were thrown to whom it may concern, the wife secretly asked the MC – Master of ceremony to give her a cordless microphone, which she used to enter into the “unused garage”, she opened the garage door and drove out the “stolen car” to the amazement of every one……..

Now she has the Microphone and about to make a speech………… What would the Husband do?????

If you find yourself in this kind of dilemma, what would be your response or attitude towards the situation, owing to the fact that you were at the wrong place at the wrong time. And come to think of it, why would a married man keep a girlfriend and shuttle between his girlfriend’s house and his wife’s marital bed room.

Ok I can hear most of you murmuring “which planet is this writer from, does he not understand the need of a man to do “Sampling” or to eat different varieties of dishes and food.” Emmm this is not about eating from pot A to pot Z, but keeping to the ordinances of marriage and behaving like a matured man with a matured mind.

Ok, let’s not digress; organising the thanksgiving Service is another way of making him pay heavily for is stupidity.

But I just want to get your candid opinion(s) on this. What do you think the Man should/would do??

Naked Ambition

I know you are just blazing hot, running to come and view the pictures as the link directed.
Well, its good to anticipate and it is also good to know that there are lots of people who what to fame their naked ambitions.

Now its better you just visit the site map and know what important topics and articles that have been covered on this blog rather than looking some some naked ambitions.

By the way, all your Naked ambitions can be rearranged in their order of preference.

Look inwards and try to reconfigure your mind into being as good as you ought to be.

Thanks for visiting my site or should I say thanks for being forced to visit my blog.

Over Thinking - The Killer of Minds

Over Thinking:

Someone once said that:

“The biggest disease of the mind is over-thinking, especially thinking too much about others. Thinking too much is like eating too much. The heaviness makes it impossible to remain light and flexible” – Author Unknown.

My questions now are:

-          Do you think that over-thinking is a disease?

-          Is it good to think too much about others?

-          Is there a measure of how far/deep you should think about someone/others?

-          Can over-thinking be compared to eating too much or gluttony?

What are your candid opinion(s) or views?

Whats Love Got To Do With It?

What is Love?

According to some LOVIANIANS, Love comes to those who still hope after disappointment. Those who still believe after betrayal and those who still love after they’ve been hurt.”

1. What is love?
2. Can you say there is disappointment in love?
3. Does love truly exist?
4. How do you know that you have fallen for someone and in Love?

What answers comes to your mind when you hear the word LOVE and RELATIONSHIP?

Can there be a relationship without LOVE?

We can go on and on, but I would like to get your opinion on what you think about love.
