Cranial content: on proposals and surprises

              Hi guys, I do hope your week is going on fine. Today I'm sharing my thought on proposals and surprises. Enjoy and enjoy the rest of the week.
           -----------------------------------------------
           I have been for fairy tales and gorgeous surprises, but at the moment my state of mind is: wetin be dis? Bia, a young man has been 'patrolling' your life and you've given him access to you (howbeit hands off limited). Now the bros has proposed to you and you're surprised...ke kwanu?. What was he supposed to do before? Why was he running around your smell? Wasn't it to marry you?
             So I'm sure a couple of folks will be like 'I said it, sebi I talk am say na she go fit roll eyes sake of say person don propose to am'. Oh no, I'm all for the sweetness, the romantic gesture, lovey dovey...I love that...yes, you're officially asking for my hand in marriage but I don't think it should be so out of the blues surprising...maybe I'm just old fashioned sef. Maybe it's the way he proposed/officially asks for you to join his team that is the surprise, I get that. 
            So this isn't a sub...no need for anyone to catch it but if it applies, please feel free to indulge in catching your sub.


Igbo words/phrases
Bia: come
Ke kwanu: how are you doing?

    Ehn, is it not all your women that'll be indulging men into your lives, and giving wrong signals all over the place!

    As much as i find this article an interesting read, i do strongly disagree with the " I don't think it should be so out of the blues surprising". Not all dating or relationships lead to marriage..if after running around your smell, he tells you on a fateful day that he thinks you are holding him down..somebody say what..pastor said this or that..bla bla bla, would that then be any less surprising?? I'm not trying to sound negative and all but if the sole aim of dating/relationship was a guaranteed marriage proposal, then i believe there wouldn't be any ripe single ladies available.

      Thanks for commenting Duke. I really appreciate this. I do understand your point but I'm talking acting all surprised like you just met him. It may still be surprising, perhaps the way the proposal was done. It was a rant of the moment by the way. :)

Hmm…so I’ld no longer be listed as in a relationship on fb…it is well oh! The thought of the news spreading all over twitter has been in my head. The ‘eyah’s ‘ I would receive has been making me shake…but mehn! I’ld rather stand for God. I had to tell my dad about it…dunno if his parents were informed as his mum still called me some days ago. Thank God dad wasn’t furious as I expected. He just said ‘the Lord will work it out for your good!’ Amen oh! Tope and Toye were (and are) a great support and so was mum. (and is...love this woman!) Everyone seems to be saying it is well …dunno if that’s a new viral word! It sure would be well sha. ...................................................... [ eyah's: aww's or sorry]

"if you love me you'll wait for me!" Those sweet words pierced through my heart and vented out of my mouth. How could he say such a thing? How could he possibly mean it?...no! ....................................................................................... "...if you love me you'll wait for me!" Those words forced out of my mouth, I didn't know what else to say but sure enough even in this pain I knew that I was doing the right thing. How could he say such a thing when he knew I genuinely loved him?...before marriage? Never...but I didn't want to loose him. "Tolu but how could you say you love me but yet hide one thing from me?" he said. "Felix how can you say you love me yet you keep me away from the altar?" Now that sounded sarcastic but I was serious....dead serious. "So you think this is a joke right, I'm not refusing to marry you, of course I know what the word says, I know what tradition says but just once...

Hi people...trust your week has started with great smiles. I'm sorry there would be a hold on the developing story (or rather there has been a hold on the story). This week, I'm putting up an entry that is poetry. Its written by a medical doctor by name Ekundayo Otuyelu. I'ld love you to read it and not copy it...if lifting is needed please contact me so I can contact him. Thank you and have a wonderful week in Jesus name, Amen! Sickle Cell: A Prenatal Diagnosis. On the darkest night, when even the sputtering flame of the meanest candle is denied me, I will still cling to my memory of today. I have tended the dying, prayed with men and women hopelessly clinging to whatever shreds of life are left, and all of it has stirred my soul. But how different it is to celebrate life at its beginning. To hold a wailing infant in my arms, celebrate a first cry which brings joy, to marry the dream of two into one dream, one life, one heart. Such a thing I did today, The woman was lov...
