• "When did you start putting on makeup?" Chisom asked, watching her roommate struggle to apply mascara.

    "Lately," Danielle replied, still focused on the mirror.

    "I don't know what this is, but you have to stop it," Chisom said, getting out of bed. She slipped into her fluffy pink slippers and walked into the bathroom.

    "Are you jealous of me?" Danielle shouted after her.

    Chisom burst into laughter.

    A few minutes later, she came out, wiping her face with a towel. Standing akimbo, she looked at her roommate, who now resembled a runaway clown.

    "Why would I be jealous of you?"

    "Then why are you opposing my choice of appearance?" Danielle asked, trying to fix her hair.

    "You're changing yourself to fit into that flashy group you joined last week. You're trying to please them, but you're displeasing yourself. In the end, you'll only confuse yourself," Chisom said, climbing back into bed.

    Danielle pouted, silently reflecting on what Chisom had just said.

    ---

    Have you ever found yourself doing things you normally wouldn’t, just to fit in or impress others?

    Maybe you’ve compromised your values or changed your appearance — not because you wanted to, but because you were afraid of being left out.

    Here’s the truth:

    People-pleasers often try to satisfy everyone but end up pleasing no one. The people you're trying so hard to impress may never be satisfied — and worse, they might even see you as fake. At the end of the day, you lose yourself.

    So don't live to please people.

    Be true to yourself. That’s where real confidence lies.

    THE SECRET OF A SLAY QUEEN WHO ONLY SLEEPS WITH MAD MEN

    Her name was Maliya—fierce, bold, unapologetically beautiful. On the outside, she was every man’s fantasy and every woman’s envy. Slay queen by title, heartbreaker by reputation. But what nobody knew was that behind her polished nails, heavy makeup, and thousand-dollar shoes was a twisted obsession—one that could ruin her life forever. Maliya didn’t sleep with rich politicians, or musicians, or sugar daddies. No. Her secret desire was far darker. She only felt true lust for men society called “mad.” The street wanderers. The mentally unstable. The forgotten souls. The kind who talked to the air, laughed at nothing, and roamed in tattered rags. She believed madness held a kind of freedom no rich man could ever give her.

    At night, when her friends were clubbing or posting half-naked pictures online, Maliya would sneak out in disguise. She wore an oversized hoodie, no makeup, just a scarf. She’d go behind the abandoned rail tracks where she knew one of them always slept. His name was Dogo. People said he had once been a brilliant university professor before something snapped in his head. Now he danced naked in the streets and barked like a dog. But to Maliya, Dogo was beautiful. She brought him food, bathed him, whispered to him, and made love to him like he was a king. And the terrifying part? He remembered her name. Every single time. “Maliya,” he would say, looking into her soul with eyes that once knew more than the world allowed. “They’ll never understand you, but I do.”

    She thought no one knew. Until one day, her closest friend, Anita, followed her. Anita had always suspected something strange about Maliya’s behavior. So when she saw Maliya sneaking behind the slums, she trailed her—and what she found left her speechless. Maliya on her knees, feeding a mad man with such devotion it almost looked holy. Anita tried to confront her. “Are you sick in the head? What if someone finds out? Your brand, your endorsements, your family—everything will be gone!” Maliya didn’t flinch. “I’m already gone, Anita. I’ve been gone since I was twelve and I watched my stepfather beat my mother to death and everyone called him a pastor. Madness feels safer than sanity to me.”

    Anita backed off. She didn’t understand, but she knew better than to question a pain she couldn’t imagine. But secrets don’t stay buried. A vlogger spotted Maliya a few days later, in her disguise, embracing another mad man near the river. The video went viral within hours. “Famous Slay Queen Seen Kissing Lunatic,” the headlines read. Her followers dropped. Brands cut ties. Her family disowned her. But strangely, she didn’t cry. She laughed. Laughed louder than ever before. Because now—finally—she didn’t have to hide. She took Dogo and two other mad men, moved into a remote area outside the city, and built a shelter for the mentally ill. She named it “The Free Mind.”

    But what she didn’t know was that one of the men she loved—one of the supposed “mad” men—wasn’t mad at all. He was a billionaire’s son hiding from a murderous conspiracy. And everything was about to change.

    To be continued....

    The Parable of the Ten Virgins is found in Matthew 25:1–13. Jesus tells this parable to emphasize the importance of being prepared for His return. The lessons from this parable are;

    1. Be Prepared at All Times

    Five wise virgins took extra oil, representing readiness.

    Five foolish virgins did not, symbolizing neglect.

    The wise could not share their oil with the foolish.

    Lesson: Each person is responsible for their own condition. No one can rely on another’s efforts to achieve their goals.

    2. Appearance Is Not Enough

    All ten were virgins, all were invited, and all looked prepared at first.

    Only the ones with oil were truly ready.

    3. There Will Be a Time When It’s Too Late

    The foolish virgins tried to prepare after the bridegroom arrived, but the door was shut.

    Lesson: There is a time limit to respond to any call. After which anyother time will be too late.

    4. True Readiness Requires Action, Not Just Waiting

    The wise virgins actively brought extra oil.

    Lesson: Readiness requires continuous effort.

    Jesus ended the parable with the command: “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

    Lesson: We must live daily with preparation and hard work in view, resisting complacency and slumber.

  • Omo, make I talk as e dey do me, I no go even lie, if na me dem treat like this, I for vex too. E hard to dey do “turn the other cheek” when person don slap you sotey your whole soul dey pain. Dem really carry this woman play, and still expect her to keep quiet? E no dey work like that.

    But as I reason am well, I come realize say two wrong no dey ever make right. As sweet as revenge dey feel that moment, sometimes e dey leave one kind bitterness for body later. And if you no comot that bitterness, e go just dey grow like weed.

    She don suffer, e clear. Wetin pain pass na say she hold this man down from nothing, yet na betrayal she get in return. Still, I go talk true: revenge no go heal that kind wound, e just dey shift the pain.

    Now dem dey beg her, meaning say karma don show face. She fit help or she fit waka comot, but make she choose wetin go bring her peace of mind. Because at the end, na peace wey person need pass all these wahala.

    To me, she no be wicked person, she na woman wey pain break. I just dey pray make she no lose herself inside this storm. Make her children no grow dey carry this hurt join body. Make she still try find small joy, small healing, because she don already prove say she strong.

    Life go still better, make she no let their darkness kill her light.

  • From the parable of the 10 virgins, I’ve learned two important lessons:

    1. To Always Be Prepared:
    The wise virgins came with extra oil because they didn’t want to be caught off guard. In real life, this means we should always plan ahead, whether it’s for opportunities, emergencies, or important moments. Being prepared saves us from regret.

    2. To Take Responsibility for Your Own Life:
    The foolish virgins wanted to borrow oil, but some things in life just can’t be borrowed. This reminds us that certain efforts, like personal growth, discipline, and planning can’t borrowed neither can you borrow someone else’s hard work. Some things, we must learn to do it ourselves.

    At the end of the day, life rewards those who stay ready and take responsibility. Let’s all learn to stay ready and do the work now, not later.

  • How has the mighty fallen, there was a huge silence in the street of Madrid, but shouts of irrepresible joy in England as a whole last night. It made me begin to wonder, has football changed or is it just that the bunch of Madrid players where docile, I started wondering how the former wonder kid Jude Bellingham suddenly grew so cold that not even a shot on goal from him or is it that the team was built around a failed striker called Mpape. Will I say that the decline of Madrid started when Mpape joined that former wonder club. It makes begin to wonder why Fifa will over the years hyped a player like Mpape and rated him better than the Nigerian Wonder boy Victor Osimhen. Sometimes I wonder why Nigerian Wonder boys continue to suffer huge attacks anytime they start shining. Is it a ploy to dampen their relentless spirit or what. Anyway, kudos to Arsenal, they played to their game plan without distraction and it worked for them. #Team E.
