FRANK TALK ON APPEARANCE

    APPEARANCES AND REALITIES.


    You meet a lady, classy and stylishly dressed.
    With really expensive human hair, designer bags, shoes and jewelleries, iPhone (I don't know the models oooo), perfect make-up and an anglicized voice and accent to seal her looks....
    Mehnnn........ This is baby la hot!!
    And the guys go gaga......
    She's everything you want and more......

    She's always on social media.......
    Her timeline is an e-studio.
    It's an internet museum.
    With pictures of her always kissing imaginary something because her lips are always in a pout.
    Always snapping in stylish and classy backgrounds. Using million dollar homes, heavenly sitting rooms and designer chairs as backdrop.....
    Always displaying tasteful, expensive clothes and warrever.......
    But are these appearances reality?
    Truth be told, I've realized that most people live their lives by pretence and impressions.
    Maybe, because people respond to transient, superficial things more.
    People are attracted to looks and presentations than the real person behind the mask.
    We live in virtual reality and nothing is as it seems anymore.
    But the fact remains that you'll keep pretending to cover previous pretences, just like one keeps lying to cover more lies.

     It's more expensive and draining to live life by impressions.
    People, especially women borrow to look chic.
    Most are bankrupt because they have to maintain a ridiculously expensive lifestyle.
    Must you wear Zara shoes and Michael Korrs bag when your stomach grumbles for food?
    Why fix N100,000 hair when you're living in a public yard?
    Why borrow sandals and weave-ons and make-ups to appear chic?
    Why struggle to look and dress like Kim Kardashian when in reality you're starving to make instalments for a bag you bought on credit?
    Then, when relationships gets closer to home, you become discomfited because your humble background does not tally with your flamboyant, wannabe lifestyle.
    Let's assume you have 7 to 10 human hair (different types) which you bought for 50k-100k each. It would amount to roughly 500k to 1 million, which can get you a piece of land somewhere. An investment that will definitely appreciate in value within the shortest time!
    I'm not against a woman looking good if she can comfortably afford it.
    Please spend it if you've got it.
    Rather, I'm against frivolities and pretentious materialism.
    Time to stop the pretence biko!
    Prioritize and make plans for the future so that you can actually afford that bourgeois lifestyle.
    Be true to who you are!
    People have lost opportunities and helpers because of fake life and pretense.
    Do not be ashamed of who you are.
    Everyone has a story.
    Hope this wakes someone up.

    I'll be back!!

A REAL STORY ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE


    DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.....


      There are some stories I hear and happenings around me that gets me all riled up!
      Madam's name is Akanbi Kemi Egbukole.
      She wakes up one morning to find the housemaid still sleeping....
      How dare she sleep when madam is awake?
      How dare she allow madam wake up before her?
      And madam considers the punitive measure for this grave offence is baptism of scalding water on her teenage, still developing breasts.
      That is commiserate penance for her sin!




      This is what I have to say!
      If you cannot treat another woman's child like your own, don't bother being a guardian to him or her.
      The moment you accept a person as your domestic help, whether you are paying the person or not, you have automatically accepted to be the person's guardian.
      Having the basic understanding that human frailty and offences will come is a safeguard.
      The level of wickedness perpetrated by madams to their maids is disheartening!
      Treating another person's child like she is worth nothing is wicked in itself!
      You call your children so softly with pet names, but draw her attention by screaming obscene words at her.

      Your children have siestas but she's your domestic robot..... After all, what is she here for?
      She is the last to go to bed past midnight and the first to wake up quite early in the morning to prepare the children (whom she may not be quite older than) for school.
      She can only eat when others must have had their fill. And her portion is usually the leftovers......
      "We don't waste food in this house" they'll respond. Then why give greater portion that can't be consumed?
      Meat, fish, eggs and beverages are out of bounds! "Do you eat them in your father's house?"
      Most times, when they are out with the kids, with a single look, you can pick out the maid from the children. (I still can't get over my anger anytime I see this.)
      The children dress smart and stylishly while the maid is in rumpled old clothes.
      The worst creation ever is a wicked woman!!
      Take it to the bank!
      If you cannot take care of another like your own child, then why bother taking her and making her life more miserable?
      Isn't it enough that she is facing hardships because of a humble background?
      Some maids can be double trouble, I agree.
      But if you know you can't put up with her vices, please send her home.
      But know that the real test of motherhood is in your dealings with other people's children under your care.
      Besides, that maid you spat on today maybe your saving grace tomorrow.
      This world is twisted and unpredictable. Madams should be more careful.

       I'll be back!
