The Big reflection

When we're at a bad place, we tend to say some really weird stuff.

Last year, we woke to the trending story of a Gospel Guitarist #jonathansteingard denouncing God. I myself wrote this beautiful piece/stupid words at my low place. I cannot denounce God right, He always comes true. Fast forward to less than a year, today I am not depressed or excited to say 'I do not believe in God.' Hallelujah.

Poem Syntax

Line 1

It's very easy to pick at what went wrong, nobody takes note when something, a situation is just right.

Line 2

Depression and bad things are same sides of a coin. No matter how hard we try to feel unaffected in the event of sour occurrences, sooner or later depression sets it.

Lines 3 and 4

God, the universe, whatever we believe, there is a supreme being that dictates who we are. We will reverence this being according to His dealing with us.

Lines 5 and 6

We believe this supreme being is almighty and unquestionable.

Line 7

No one has that much luck, most prayers will remain unanswered, aired. Not because He is slow in hearing. All prayers don't get answered, even well meaning prayers.

Line 8

The uncanny dedication of a devote. Many don't understand cleaving to God in the turn of depression but believers find solace in their time of need; such irony accepting the inevitable in awe of a mighty being.

Line 9 and 10

The symphony of time and opportunity. When these two aligns, we claim good success. Unfortunately time is never pinned down. Success at the expected time is rare.

Line 11

Blasphemy and hypocrisy, depends on which side of the fence you rep. A believer will accuse the critical thinker a blasphemer. The believer is an hypocrite to the thinker, why give allegiance to what isn't at your beck and call especially when you ask so nicely. Well blasphemers will be preached hell and damnation.

Line 12

He hears. At the inevitable, our solace is that He hears. backup line 7, "...I say it, you hear me but you are never hearing me." Herein is the solace.

Lines 13 and 14

Backup line 2, "...Bad things like depression." Blasphemers are more liable to be depressed. A believer in something supreme pushes every inevitable unsurmountable thing, situation to Him.

Line 15

Backup line 3, "...Let my life be what you write," there is an underlying purpose that makes suffering sufferable and many come out of these situations unscarred, scarred but well compensated. Mostly.

What we once believed Chapter Two

Starting well and finishing strong, that is the story of the campus fellowship excos; the perfect story but this story am about to tell you is imperfect. I have known Brother Seun ever since my predegree days. In short, everyone knows Brother Seun, the evangelism coordinator. So let’s quickly run through his personality profile. Loveable? Check, vibrant? Check, dedicated? Check, outspoken? Check, heaven trembling and demon chaser? Check, handsome? If I hear; but whatever he lacked at that department, he made up for in suave. However, he is not my favourite kind of person reason being he was egoistic and showy. If he had stopped at that perhaps it would have been manageable but he had a weakness, sisters. As a friend would say, ‘ministry for the sisters.’ He would stop at nothing to catch the attention of sisters in the fellowship. Now don’t misconstrue me; he was not in any immoral act or anything with them, he just lives for female attention. To anyone else, it might seem just ordina...

Nneka The Pretty Serpent, part two?

Viewers Digression: Paranormal movie. I do not know what I was thinking buying a ticket to see movie, normally I don't do paranormal. Paranormal are movies on metaphysics, metaphysics= spirits and magic. As a good Christian girl, I'm sorry it doesn't seat well with me. So from title, snake girl is a giveaway, seeing Nneka, red flag but the hype on social media was tempting. First the movie flier I saw had a village setting or was that my imagination, ooh now I know, the 30years ago backtrack. I'm a sucker for movies set in the 90s and backwards. There is something original about those movies, that a playwright can recreate those scene, actually wins for effort. No one spends that much on costume and stage to release rubbish. On rubbish, Nneka storyline just suck. If there is a parts 2, No am not watching! The movie started with lot of promise, but in between the serial killing, the writer lost it. For acting, all crew were perfect to the T. Especially Ada played by Bimb...

What we once believed Chapter Three

Sister Dorcas is another such vibrant sister in the fellowship. She is my level mate and I guess she did pre-degree like me but I don’t notice her until when we were freshers. And trust me; I was always sitting on the noticing pew, the back benchers. You get to see who comes and go, who has the hottest heels or who is wearing the oxygen trousers. For those who don’t know what the oxygen trousers is, well Fashion Police 101, those over-zealous brothers who wear oversize everything; trousers, oversize, shirt or coat, oversize even the shoes, it has to be ancient in design. Obviously, the wide trousers let in air and the overall effect makes them look like astronauts in space suit. Well, astronauts need oxygen in space. Even when Tiwa, my friend and I started noticing Dorcas, she is snobbish and does not hang around after service. After the benediction of every service, she picks up her bag, bones face and goes home. Well it is not like we were going to make friends with her or even...
