Baba and Okro


Baba: stop chopping okra
Me: why sir?

Baba: you can chop Ewedu, Ogbono, no problem, but not okra
Me: mi fe wahala(I don't want trouble) but @least tell me why I shouldn't eat okra and to think that I enjoy okra with goat meat and catfish(best soup)

Baba: don't ask me why, just follow what I have told you, reluctantly he opens his car door just so his inner light would shine.
Baba: look my face, have we met?
          You do see me before?
           So take what I tell you, I can't deceive you, you are my daughter.  They can read your star, and destiny when you chop okra.

Me: ok sir! ( story for the gods, baba must be a joker. This could be a myth and he felt like passing the information to me. I can't fit stop my special okra soup Mabinu sir)

Baba: you dey go church abi?
Me: huh? ( see me see local trouble, I only told him the estate with no definite address )

Baba: you don't want to answer? Hahahahaah(laughs mischievously )
Me: yes sir, I am I going to church.

Baba: you are a good woman, people have hurt you so much in the past, I can see the pain behind your smile. but please do not stop doing good. again let me tell you, if you know that you can not dash me money, then don't borrow me the money. I mean every word I am saying to you.
Me: ok sir.

Baba: if you chop okra, they can see your destiny and read your star, evil people can trap you from there. My daughter listen to all I have told you.  Ehen that your female friend kate( name change) don't worry, she would apologize
Me: at this point I had tears rolling down my blushed cheeks

Baba: don't worry, ema worry aburo mi(in Yoruba) ....
Me: Eshe sir!

Baba:  blink you are a good woman. Your innocence will save you.
Me: OMG! How did he know my name? Have I crossed path with a spirit? Now I was shaking on the sit.
 
 We got to church premise, I handed babe 500naira note, and he gave me the balance of #100, with all the revelations, I refused the money. I asked him to keep it. My people @ this point baba smiled and returned the #500 to me...

Me: baba mi kilode?( what is it father?)
Baba: you have a good heart indeed, good things are coming.

Still in shock, I collected the money and watched baba speed off into thin air, I couldn't believe belie it was the same gura gwura taxi that drove me to church.  Just maybe I have met Another SEER.


NOW I have to ask, have you ever met someone like baba? Or has a myth been told you? What was your response? Let us share...

PREMATURE EJACULATION

PREMATURE EJACULATION



A friend of mine said i dont consider my male readers so i decided to do this.Premature ejaculation can cause a smear in relationships because no woman wants a man who cant satisfy her on bed and no guy wants his ego destroyed by this. 

So here are some ways to prevent premature ejaculation.

 -First understand your body and know the feeling that comes when you are about to ejaculate.
 -Try to relax because premature ejaculation disturbs the big head more than it disturbs the small head,relaxation is something some guys dont do,they think foreplay is more important for the female folk aand then the gear all thier energy towards thier penis.
 -Try wearing a condom. funny this actually works.try avoiding the ones with the label that says extra thin
 -During intercourse try to distract yourself when you feel the urge to ejaculate.
 -Kegel exerscise is really good for guys to. A few contractions in the day.
 -Avoid some sensitive sex positions because this will stimulate early ejaculation.
 -change styles between intercourse,and try edging off the urge.
 -You can also masturbate before intercourse this will help the second climax stay longer. your partner can help you with this.
- Know when to visit the doctor for treatment.
    I don't know if you have learn' t anything but i know one guy somewhere in the world with this problem is going to try these techniques.
 I hope this helps satisfy her in bed. Good luck banging

Stop chopping okro...



I have been missing in action for days now, was a bit busy . My cherrie birthday was for Friday so all hands were busy and yours truly was the chief planner.  Come to think of it...just maybe I should go into event planning as my colleagues advice.  Mbanu! The stress eeh?  This is just a little party but it got me nuts. Calling the caterer, the cake lady, and so on...
  It was even more stressful, because it was a surprise party. It is in moments like this that I must say, it is good to be a hottie

Now why am I saying all these? It seems I may have met another seer, Abi na spirit I see?  Na only me dem dey wake come meet?  I went to pay Maureen(chef) upfront been Thursday evening and midweek service was for later same evening. I didn't drive to work so birthday girl did the chauffeur.  I opted to take a taxi to church,  so I stood at the bus top for 5mins  when I saw a car that looked like a taxi, I flagged the  bobo down. He said he wasn't going my direction, but I could get another cab where I would alight. Anyways I wasn't willing to come down as it was already drizzling. 
The next taxi I entered was rickety, but I was glad I did because there were lots of passengers.   Baba was a grey head old man, so when I tried to negotiate the price with him, I was mindful of my choice of words. We tried to by cut traffic so I urged Baba to take a bad road as I was already late for church.

Omo mehn! Baba's true intent came out. In local parlance , Our conversation went thus: 
Baba: you be Igbo? 
Me: yes sir

Baba:  where for ibo? 
Me: Enugu sir!

Baba: if to say you be Anambara I for drop you here now
Me: ok sir
    
    Now within me I didn't want the conversation to continue, I was just wondering what an anambarain would have done to baba to take actions against all.  I kept musing to myself that his decision was irrational. Lest I forget, baba drove as a snail. 

Baba: you due chop Okro? 
Me: yes ...I dey chop okro and Ewedu. I added Ewedu just so I could please him, at least I speak Yoruba and I enjoy their meals

Baba: stop chopping okro
Me: huh?

To be contd.
