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 ...

Entanglements

I have never been in love with Nigeria and for the longest time i always wanted to travel out. I didn't even care what country,as long as it wasn't Nigeria. Overtime our relationship grew worse and it extended to my personal life. By personal life,i meant the people i dated. The people i felt i was in love with. They had this typical Nigerian mindset i couldn't deal with  and the cycle of breakups made me conclude just maybe..i'm meant to be with a white guy. The relationship became so toxic that i had to become the bigger person and end it so i broke up with Nigeria. Even though i ended the relationship i still felt Nigeria failed me, i felt betrayed. I didn't choose to be in this relationship, Nigeria choose me via my parent  so obviously our love was and had to be transactional: i f you meet my needs then i love you, if you don't then i don't. So when the opportunity for me to travel out came i took it without hesitation even when i didn't particularl...

My Lovers 'EX-ecution'

"You are under arrest for the murder of  Sifon. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You are allowed to call your lawyer, but if you don't have any, one would be provided for you". Do you  understand? Do you understand? yes Honestly,I don't think I did understand my fate. I don't know what day it is today but hey, at least I'm still on earth not on the road to hell,  that was what I was thinking as I joined my cell mates to perform our routine labor. They are quite loud and I would never understand how they derived joy from being in prison( how would I?) I was still going to be sentenced to death cause I kid you not,there is a whole hierarchy here,from the commander to the nobody, then me. Pretty face  Pretty face yea,that's me. They called me pretty face and it just made me remember those  good old days when I kept chanting; I'm more than a pretty face,I'm intelligent and hardworking.If ...

How I Met My Husband

Remembering how I met my husband will always funny. After going through what seemed like the worst breakup of my life,I had zeroed my mind towards finding love or even getting married.There is no place in the bible that says it is compulsory to get married plus the event that led to the last breakup was a clear sign from God that marriage wasn't a part of my destiny. Prior to this,I had never believed you could meet someone and fall in love with the person within months or even the blasphemy "love at first sight''.I don't want to go into details on how I felt about that statement.I mean it is possible to like the person and be infatuated or get lustful but loving the person I never thought that was possible plus the way "I love you" has been thrown on  my face from people whose action proved the only liked me!!.No,you cannot love anyone in months.The only person who did that is in Heaven. Excuse me. I barely even know myself for 24 years who ar...

Good, Bad and Love Decisions

Has there ever been a more depressing story about the relationship between men and women than the tale of Adam? yes; Samson and Delilah and just like Adams story the focal point is on Eve.  Almost like from the beginning of time man(male and female) were created to blame. The direct instruction wasn't given to Eve,it was a hand me down information from Adam  and hand me down information are always filtered. Yes,Eve knew the fruit wasn't supposed to be eaten but Eve never fully understood how severe that instruction was. The only person that understood it properly was Adam. I'm in no way trying to justify Eve's action. For what its worth, even if she didn't fully understand the consequences bottom line there was an instruction the least she could have done was obey. Eve was deceived Eve ate the fruit Adam wasn't deceived Adam was given a fruit Adam ate without pressure from Eve but when God  was walking in the Garden looking for the people He ...
