In the Beginning...

Has it ever occurred to you that relationships these days have been misjudged. A lot of people have different views about it. Some say love doesn't exist, some say it does. If love doesn't exist, how do you describe the relationship between parents & child (or children); the relationship between the creator & the created; the relationship that exist between the couples who celebrate 30-yr anniversary, 40-yr anniversary...and so on?
And if love exists, how do you explain the situation of a broken-hearted lady in aro (Yaba), the situation of a son/daughter who doesn't feel a sense of belonging at home but instead find solace in marijuana, and so on?

Welcome to my blogspot. My name is Bukola Ajayi, I hail from Ekiti, a graduate of Linguistics from the University of Ilorin (2004). On this blog we'll be talking strictly about relationships and this will cut across not just one that exists between lovers (in marriage or before) but also one that exists between friends and family.

Join me in this quest as we give real life issues, practical problems, possible solutions and more. Pictures will be posted here as well. Your contributions will be highly recognised.

Thank you

    well, to me love still exist though few people practice it. the love of self has grown much more than the love for one another because of the environment we are,wrong motives,love of money and many dissappointments here and there.all thesame some still have geniue love, i'm a product of love and i'm looking forward raising another generation that will be full of love.

    To me, it's necessary we have relationships. We can't do without one another! No man can exist as a loner / Island!
    One thing stands as a fact! LOVE exists and in different forms too.

    We need it in all relationships that are of positive value. There are so many things that stand as pointers! One of them is trust! Relationships (valuing) cannot exist without it. Another is respect! We should respect one another and define all relationships well!
    I would like to define love from the point of view that stands to call it an emotion!

    LOVE is a strong feeling of intense attraction!
    Every relationship has a point of attraction! Something attracts one to the other. A father to a son, a mother to a daughter, a friend to another friend!
    The sentence "Does love exist" could only be asked because so much has infiltrated our world which were not there in times past.
    I would also consider cases!!
    A broken hearted lady could only have her heart broken because she had a strong emotional attachment to whoever or whatever it was that broke her heart.

    So many things stand as pointers to this fact.
    I for one won't over flog this!
    I just will simply put it that "LOVE exists but we find ourselves loving wrongly in all spheres of human existence"

    Loving is respecting ourselves. Loving is trusting ourselves.
    In the beginning it was made to be that way!
    It's important we note that success is achieved only when effort is made...
    Everything needs to be worked at and relationships aint exemptions.
    Existence makes more meaning if we relate well, love well...
    There's so much to it!
    We could find it in our own time too!!
    This is my take!

    Love does EXISTS.

Why Did I Get Married?

Image
I really enjoy seeing African-Americans movies, and this particular film is no exception. In fact, I can’t stop watching it and I can’t wait to see ‘Why Did I Get Married too’ . Really, Tyler Perry got me hooked on this one, that after seeing it several times, I was able to sift one or more things from it and I’d like to share them here. Before I share what I learnt, let me give a synopsis of the movie…There are four couples who go on an annual one week vacation – more like a reunion. During this vacation, they reconnect, talk, pray, iron out issues and so on – but this vacation opened up secrets that they’ve all bottled up. Secrets that made them ask such question as ‘Why did I Get Married?’ I’m going to be looking at the couple one after the other… Mike & Sheila (Richard T. Jones & Jill Scott) The problem with this couple is Sheila’s stature. Sheila is on the fat side but Mike just couldn’t live with that! And so he insults her at every opportunity he...

Do I have to Stop?

Image
Life is not fair at times. Day-by-day, there’s one challenge or the other to deal with. We’ve been wounded and we have caused pains for others; had to go through pains or hurts, comfort others, and even wonder why we had to go through the pains we go through. But I ask, do we have to stop laughing?   The past few weeks have been rather eventful; there was the January fuel subsidy removal, hike in prices of items and fares, subsidy-driven industrial action or strike, non-salary payment, and so on. But do we have to stop spending?   There have been issues of boko haram, bomb blasts, accidents, kidnappings, killings, rituals and many of such; but do we have to stop being adventurous or stop travelling? Many of us have wanted some things so badly – indeed, they are things that we rightfully ought to have or own. We even give ourselves time frame, and say to ourselves that if we don’t get such things by the stipulated time, then that means life is just so unfair to u...

Things That Irritate Me

Image
I get easily irritated at times, and funny the things that irritate me could be classed as trivial - that is, minor. The truth is, once I let them out you might view me as 'duh, why should those irritate you?' but they do anyway. It just goes to show that I'm a unique being *wink wink*. Some months back I sat in a public bus on my way home, then I heard a guy, who sat behind me, make some sound with his mouth - teeth and tongue. The kind some people make when they are trying to remove a left over food or dirt from their teeth. The bad thing is, he didn't stop once, he made the sound till he alighted from the bus. Kai, I was pissed! Still in the same bus, someone was listening to a sport commentary on his phone. He put the phone on speaker and on the highest volume, as if the rest of us were interested in the boring tale. I wonder how he forgot that earphones are made for moments such as those.... How I almost shouted at him. The odd thing was that he hissed at th...
