GETTING OVER GENOTYPE ISSUES IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP

Anonymous: “Hi, good day, I need to talk to you”

Me: “Please do go on”

Anonymous: “I just thought I should talk to you, I need advice”

Me: “Calm down dear. What is the matter?”

Anonymous: “My Genotype is AS. I have known for a long time now. My boyfriend thought he was AA because that was what he was told by his mom long time ago and I was relaxed. He went for an all round test last month and found out he is AS too. We both love each other but I think this might split us up. I have been sad.”

BEING SINGLE

There comes a time in your life when you start asking yourself questions; Has God forgotten me? What is happening to me? Why am I still single? You may feel the pressure to escape from loneliness, shame and mockery but you must also understand that God has good plans for you, which He will actualize in His own time! Remember, “a closed curtain doesn’t mean the production is over. Sometimes, the curtain has to close while God prepares us for the next scene”

TO STEAL OR NOT TO STEAL BAE?

“When it comes to the issue of securing our romantic partners, animals have a lot to teach us, most importantly, that it is a competitive sport. But has humans with emotions and the sentiments they come with, we have tried to draft social contracts to let us protect what is ours, or at least what we consider ours. One of these contracts is the one that brands people that ‘steal’ other people’s partner home-wreckers. It is almost as if we compete furiously until someone has their foot in the door. At this point we are all expected to respect the winners and stay away from their prize.

DINE WITH A POET

By Ojo Blessing

Young damsel,
Your innocent eyes
Almost bleach my complexion….

Your gaze
Pierces through my heart.
But you still call me a liar.
Oh, because I am a poet?
