Tell Me


Tell me

Tell me what to do when the rains get suspended
only where i stand
Tell me what to do when I'm in pieces and my pieces
are shredded into a thousand pieces
Tell me what to do when i look in the mirror and instead of my reflection
i see the empty void and my happiness filling the space
Tell me what to do when i get scared and look for whom to cling on
only to embrace my shadow which depict darkness owns me
Tell me what to do when i run away from my sadness
but my heart beats to the tune of an elegy
and my mouth sings a dirge
Tell me what to do when what's chasing me lives
in the air i breath
Tell me why i should keep hope alive
when the gold fish that luminates the dark ocean of  my tears 
 is preyed by my fears

My Identity Crisis

  Oh, hello This is uum kind of awkward. You would think after doing this for so many years, I would be so courageous and confident to stand before a crowd. It's almost like every event I'm invited for,is a chance to stand on the stage again for the very first time.  Somehow I believe that's the beauty of it all, the nervousness, excitement, the adrenaline spike that rushes through my body helping me prepare so I don't get so comfortable in my God-given abilities and slip up. Well, as some of you may know My name is Emediong Francis Udoudoh and I wear many hats but for this event, I choose to wear my green public speaking hat. Can I have a seat please? I hope that's fine yea, okay I think I would be more comfortable if I assume the friendly kind of vibe position. Thank you very much. So, as I was saying my self and my green hat we want to talk you today about identity. As many of you may know, I am the founder of Dimensionsofgold conglomerate but what you don't ...

It's My Body I Can Do Whatever I Want With It

"It's my body I can do whatever I want with it" Amongst the numerous quotes and sayings I have recently deduced as 'wrong', this happens to be the most insane. To crown it all, there are movements to actually support this notion  headed by women who claim to be Christians when the question of religion and going to church arises but when it comes to how they should dress to church and life at large it suddenly becomes; 'its my body, I can do what I want". This movement has been covered under the canopy of 'self love and do you, the world will adjust' and it just surprises me when Christian women pledge to this movement with their dressing without understanding God will never adjust to mans movement when he has a movement of his own. Click to read my views on making vows It is very confusing because in as much as these women claim to pray and study the word, I have reasons to believe they ignore verses where God says our bodies belong t...

On Being A Feminist

The other day I was privileged to attend an event, it wasn't necessarily a church program but it centered around Christianity and women. So of course the guest speakers would be women but one was particularly very interesting. This lady  went on and on about how Christian women should act, which I agreed for the most part and learnt new  things. However, she took me aback with a particular statement she made "you can't be a Christian and a feminist". She went ahead to attempt to back up her claim by saying "feminism is a cult group". At this point the only thing I could utter was Hmmm, wahala dey o. I immediately had to google the meaning of feminism and right after I searched for misandry. I know there has been a lot of attack on people who identify as a feminists but this was the first time I heard "...you can't be both a Christian and a feminist". I had a lot of questions as you might have guessed. I honestly just wanted to understand where ...
