Omalicha was my cousin who got married at her teen. Nineteen is not that early anyway but no doubt she was still a teen. She was dark in complexion with round face endowed with beauty as people gave her the compliment "black is beautiful". She was very quiet and had good character. In fact, she was a "good breed".

Communication is the key to every marriage. Lack of communication is the number one cause of divorce in our recent day marriages. It's true that everyone was born with one mouth and two ears- which are the basic tools for communication. Meanwhile couples must learn how to use their mouths and ears properly for true communication to take place. I can simply put it that communication is the process- either verbal or non verbal, of sharing information with another person in such a way that he or she understands what you are saying . Talking, listening and understanding are all involved in the process of communication. There are three basic elements in proper communication: talking, listening and understanding- without these three there is no communication. It's important we look at each briefly: Talking : we are usually willing to talk but one of the problems is that most of us have little difficulty talking. We are usually willing to give an opinion or offer advice even ...

Recognizing and meeting these needs for one another see  " men's needs and women's needs " will mean a stronger marriage and the ability to get through the rocky times that come- though we are focusing on ways you can make a woman feel loved , so I will be skipping over the areas that concern the man, nevertheless I consider and regard their needs just as important as the needs of women. The woman feels loved when you are willing to help her out. Don't wait to be asked before you can help- just help because asking her won't be really romantic and recognized after all. And always remember to look her into the eyes and say to her, "just another way to say I love you".  Remember it's scriptural that two are better than one because they have a good return for their labour. For if either of them falls the other one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one that falls when there is no another to lift him up. Reaching out to help and acceptin...

In justifying this, we are going into emotional aspect of marriage which is marriage builder. Most of us are ignorant though others are deceiving themselves but I have to clear our doubt on the controversial assertion that men and women view sex the same way. One basic difference between men and women is the way they approach and view life- and some of those differences are not hard to understand. First, the potential consequence of eros- bearing a new life- have far greater ramifications in the life of a woman. In addition the connection between eros and love is much closer and more important to women than it is to men. To women pronouncing your love for them keeps boombing their heart. They always like to be told that they are loved. The erotic revolution attempted to erase this difference; in their effort to achieve equality with men, many active women have tried to ignore their fundamental emotional needs. They have sacrificed their lives based on the lie that they should app...

People need to believe they can win for them to really become motivated to succeed.  Try to encourage people to perform tasks or take on responsibilities which you know they can handle and perform better. Put them in a position to experience small successes just to help them believe they can achieve victory. V isualization of their future

B elieving in them before they succeed : I am sure you have noticed how many people support a sport team as soon as it starts winning. What I am saying is everyone loves a winner.

Honourable Abu, honourable Abu!" a voice came from within. Whose voice could this be?" Abu asked. The voice came  again conspicuously. I don't think I recognize this voice, I have to wait until I confirm. "Good morning my Chairman," Bakar said as he bowed in humility. He dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out a khaki envelop and handed it to Abu. "I received this letter this morning, I thought it wise to bring it to you as the party chairman" He looked at Bakar surreptitiously and slowly opened the envelope to unfold the letter in it. It read, " In honour of your office sir, I hereby represent the voice of the people. The people are crying, they are suffering. The roads are bad. Market places are flooded. People are gnashing their teeth. This has passed recession. No job opportunities for young graduates and those with school certificate. What is our government doing?  Poverty is striking the masses, hunger and starvation increasing by t...

These are some of the challenges of confusion; Facing numerous alternatives- Won't be able to understand the priority- At times the person ends up aimless- Feeling indecisive- Any leader who has no experience of confusion is no competent leader.

Those who limb are better than those who walk. The former will always move on a snail pace, getting composure acquaintance, master the route of their destination and being observant to the rules of the game of life, think before they make the next step, getting to their destination though late but successful; those who walk move faster than their shadows to get to their destination on time- desperadoes; Desperadoes end up with little or no success- solace at last.
