FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS (Vol. 3)



It's feels good to have you here. Here comes volume 3.




SHE SUDDENLY FELT HER LEVEL WAS TOO HIGH FOR ME.




Secondary school was filled with several happy moments. Some of them I shared with someone I considered to be my best friend and others with other people. My classmates would had expected me to choose a close/best from among them even when I had some of them as my friends but I met this friendly, pretty and good Miss in school while I was in SS1. She was in SS2 but that wasn't a barrier. At least,  I wasn't the first to do that and there was nothing wrong in doing that.

We blended so fast and so well too. Yes, she was a year ahead of me but we became of the best cliques in school. We were together most times during break periods and closing periods. We were about the same height. A new teacher mistook us for nonidentical twins because we behaved like one.

Good story right? But it never ended up on a good note.

We had grown fond of each other even when she was writing her final WAEC exam.

 I felt emotional knowing she was going to be leaving after her exams but we had decided earlier on to keep in touch through phone calls, text messages, social media and pay ourselves visits.

She finally left but never kept to our agreement. She was now in the University of Lagos while I was SS3. She snubbed all of my messages and phone calls intentionally. She finally called and guess what? She told me without missing words 'That was then, not now. I was only managing the situation. Best friends? Not anymore. I'm above that level now. Thanks.' She hung up immediately afterwards.

I felt like melting but I put myself together. It kept on ringing 'I'm above that level now'. It was surprising to see how pride could set in in a matter of  months.


Now, I'm presently a 100level student of the same institution. I've met her several times but I've moved on and now, I'm happier.





HUMILITY




 This is obviously what suddenly went scarce.  It is the reverse of pride.



Friends must put away their 'levels' or status if their friendship must thrive. Failure to do so will trigger issues as shared above. I see nothing wrong in friends with parents of different financial status mingling together. Once humility is dealt with,  it becomes much more easier.




Humility places you both on a neutral ground and doesn't give room for inferiority or superiority. That way, you blend much easily.  You want to have good friendship?  Stay Humble.
I'll also like to give you a common but true way pride can halt friendships.




Volume 4.....coming soon

I CAN DRESS MODESTLY AND STILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL

Image
Indecent dressing is fast becoming an epidemic especially among young persons (especially among females). The rate of increase in immodesty is alarming as many have now thrown to the gutters the initial purpose of wearing clothes which is to cover their nakedness. Another reason why people may decide to wear clothes is to appear 'presentable' and most importantly 'beautiful' but even this has been abused by some. I strongly believe that is not out of place in the 21st century to have young ladies who dress modestly and still look beautiful! I have seen a number of them and this remains one of the reason they have gained my respect. It is the same for every other responsible guy out there. This is what some females fail to know. It is to that effect I've decided to join this movement #You can dress modestly & still look beautiful. I totally agree with what Doug Herman,  the author of the book 'Come clean' said in his book. ...

PAUSE AND THINK (Vol.2): BEFORE SAYING THOSE WORDS!

Image
I’m sure you were able to pick one or two things from the previous volume, ‘pause and think before pointing that finger’. This volume promises not to be an exception as we’ll be looking at something very critical. Critical because we are all involved and connected with this subject. We use it every day of our lives! I’ll like to also include that the writer of this article is also not exempted from the ‘blames’, messages and lessons that can be drawn from the article. We’ll be talking about PAUSE & THINK BEFORE SAYING THOSE WORDS’   WORDS! WORDS!! WORDS!!! Human beings are very sensitive to words especially on the receiving end. Interestingly, we fall to both the giving and receiving end, although at specific moments. This article majorly addresses ‘the givers’.   Words have the power of influence both on the positive and negative side. The subject of ‘words’ must not be taken for granted. Words are instruments. Words relay feelings, emotions, moments,...

FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS (Volume 1)

FRIENDSHIP SCANDALS. Why Friendship scandals? It doesn't sound cool, does it?  Nope, it doesn't. Here, we'll not only be concerned with personal life experiences of people with regards to friendship matters but the lessons we can learn from these experiences to be better friends and develop better friendship qualities much more. Don't get me wrong. Friends are cool to keep when are good. Be one! It promises to be lessons packed. It would entertain several parts that cuts across betrayal, jealousy, pride, lies, selfishness, malice, distrust, pretence and many more.  I GOT TIRED OF HER LIES! After my experience with Cecilia, I was thrown into confusion on which gender had more 'professional liars'. Within a short period of time I had gulped over a litre of lies. But why? Was she trying to impress me, paint a different picture of herself or what? I admired people for being real, truthful and unique. All these things were present i...
