The thrust of the event/seminar is the moral burden for marriage to be successful, enjoyed and not endured..... This brought about the Television talkshow which airs on Nta10 at 2pm on Sundays. It is stated that the measure of a man's character is patience and gentleness while that of a woman is said to be humility and submissiveness. When this needed basic elements for the growth and development of a good marriage are missing; then the channel for discord is opened. Hence the seminar coming up on the 26th of July at the Sheraton hotel Lagos by 3pm.

Caitlyn Jenner (fka Bruce) Gets Thumbs Up From Charly Boy (aka Linda aka Nigeria's Answer To Caitlyn) In New Article, "Through LINDA I See"!





 
Our one and only AreaFada aka Charlie Boy aka Linda has something to say regarding the stir that Caitlyn Jenner has been causing over the fews days. Read her his article below to learn a few things...I mean, who better to understand what’s going on in Caitlyn’s mind than Linda...nah mean? ;) Hehehe CB Linda oh! Na you biko! I love this guy chick! You’re still my dad any day! Carry go jare! Mbok!!!



Through LINDA, I see!

I must ask you this question.


In our pursuit for happiness, do we focus on the dictates of life based on our social environment or on our own personal need of what individually makes us happy?


For the past few days the global social media has been agog with Bruce Jenner's sex change, he now wishes to be called Caitlyn.
Surfing through some of our local blogs, I have read some yahoo yahoo comments from Nigerians who feel that their yeye comments are really of any importance in the decision taken by this great Olympian, now, the gender bender.


Yes, I saw Bruce Jenner Vanity Fair interview. I read it over and over, it sounded so gutsy, sincere, truthful and so free. Bruce had always been married, had kids, and a successful career but for a long time he had  never been happy and content with being a man. Sometimes we find it difficult understanding what prompts one to make those kinds of changes that are physically and emotionally permanent and we start to speculate, Maybe he wanted to rebrand, wanted to put himself back into serious reckoning again. Yes, sometimes it can be about the drama and the almighty dollars, who is to say. However, It just may be devoid of all those and just be a spiritual journey to finding self, purely a pursuit of happiness, about being free, and finding strength to be that which makes one feel complete irrespective of whose ox is gored!
 


My take


It is not one’s masculinity or femininity alone that defines one’s identity, it is the harmony between the two that determines how comfortable and integrated one’s identity is going to be.  In other words, shocking as this may be to the more macho in our midst, inside some men, lies an unexpressed woman. And even more shocking is the proposition that the object of masculine identity development is not the elimination of this woman, but acknowledging the existence of, and fine-tuning the feminine side with the masculine part of the identity. In other words, blending the two fundamental principles of yin and yang to influence our behavior.

The “masculine woman” has become more socially acceptable than the “feminine man”, who is still an object of derision. And herein lies the root of the gender conflict. Women find it easy to pursue their masculinity; men find it disagreeable to even acknowledge, let alone pursue their femininity.  A few people have been able to find that balance and am I happy that Linda lives here, in me? Yesoooooo!


So to those of you in your personal pursuit for happiness whatever it is, climb every rainbow and follow every star till you find your dream.
 

Lilian Amah's MUST READ New Novel, Dreams Of Yesterday, Is Making Waves! Wow! See More Below...










Hot on the heels of her last best-selling novel, 'Echoes Of A Heartbeat', which was published in the UK and can still be purchased here and here
, actress and writer, Lilian Amah, returns with 'Dreams Of Yesterday', a thriller/suspense novel set in 1960s Nigeria. I have just finished reading this novel and hope that my verdict below aptly interpretes the euphoria I am still riding high on.


"This fast paced thriller exceeded my high expectations. The author's eloquent accounts of the main characters are skilfully interwoven, providing an interesting contrast between their perspectives and how the Civil war has impacted so drastically on their lives. There is also an interesting twist in events, which I will keep mum about, lest I spoil it for the next reader. The author’s wealth of knowledge, thorough research and engaging writing style come through on every page; and her ability to convey these insightful personal accounts is remarkable. Excellent reading"!







Synopsis:

Civil war is devastating because it pits brother against brother. The Nigerian Civil war is particularly complicated because the Country has over 250 ethnic groups closely interwoven due to intermarriage.

In 'Dreams of Yesterday', the lives, loves, triumphs and trials of a bi-ethnic couple come under scrutiny.

Lekan Lawson loves his wife Ronke. Separated from her during the war and suffering amnesia, he meets and falls in love with another woman Ndidi. The war ends, he finds Ronke again and unable to let go of either woman, Lekan starts a love triangle that can only lead to disaster. Can one man love two women at the same time? Can a woman accept and learn to live with the knowledge that her husband loves her but also loves another woman?
It is not all good or bad. It is neither black nor white as shades of grey are everywhere.

'Dreams Of Yesterday' is live on Konga.com now. Please click here to purchase your copy. It will also soon be available for purchase on the websites of Jumia, Amazon and Amazon Kindle, respectively, so be on the lookout for updates.
