1. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out. 2. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity. 3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you a mechanic. 4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. 5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before. 6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance. 7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious. 8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. 9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program. 10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip. 11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks. 12. A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good. 13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway. 14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it. 15. No husband has ever been shot while doing t...

I have low tolerance for bad behavior. Maybe its because was beat up as a kid. By my mom. The woman never, ever entertained rudeness, bad mouthing or talking back. Not once, not ever. You did that and you would have no reason to ever do that again. Even my friend from next door was not exempt. If he came hanging out and wanted to be in good books with mama, he had to act right. It was so funny seeing the neighborhood 'first body' looking all sheepish and squirmish at the sight of my ma'. Always gave me ammunition next time i needed to insult him. And I did. Nobody misbehaved when they came to my mama's house. She could slap the black off a Nubian in a jiff, and i mean, old school, you-better-be-near-something-to-hang-on-to kind of smack. Yaani, even if you were all testosteroned up and stuff. Bilaz! She had the hand to reboot sanity. Pap. Like the time my sister thought it was ok to hang out with her friends and come home after dark. Woi! Amazingly, she would smack ...

So i don't know the guy that wrote this, ok, maybe a little. He is a friend of mine, and a good writer. I like this post and so decided to upload it here. It's the first guest post so, ya'll need to act enthusiastic on this friend of mine, i'm not sure what benefits he accords me... Anyways, here goes: I usually walk into the house on most evenings just in time to dig into the night’s culinary cuisine. My timing is so impeccable, on more than one occasion I have strolled in mouthing the word “Amen!” in unison with everyone else. Sadly, no one in my house appreciates an awesome entry so as I stand there basking in dramatic entrance glory, I only get awkward silence (I take it as applause…but it kinda like looks positive criticism…which makes no sense at all, coz it’s either positive or it’s criticism, right?) and a searing glance from Mr. Kuyoh wondering if what I claim to do is really why I leave the house every morning. Joke’s on them. Next week I’ll ha...

Men do change. Obviously. They become fat after marriage. For the most part. Even then, Wardrobe changes are not the only big things that happen after tying the knot. Oh, and i'm not sanctioning overeating and poor dieting among men. It doesn't help that when this happens, one enters the league of 'able men', according to some shagz mudu. The fact that just because you look like a Roto water tank will open amazing doors for you compounds men's woes. More so when you are home for Christmas. You suddenly become the go to man. The 'made' man. Don't mind the fact that you may die tomorrow because all your arteries are cholesterol clogged. Nonetheless fat fathers have something else that trip up their hearts. In their endeavors to be good men that fulfill their life's responsibilities, they sire daughters. Now there is nothing wrong with that. In facts it's to be commended. Every man loves his daughters. The are cute, they are tender, they are v...

The whole feminist empower women so they can do without men Ideology leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Yes, i'm all for assisting women get things going and become successful at business and life. It is a worthwhile effort, should be applauded, supported and given all the power it can to succeed. But when those ideals are tied together with the bra burning, men trashing, independent women only ideology that seeks to minimize men to mating agents only on the planet. I cringe at the manifold display of ignorance towards men and their role in life. Because a good cause is used to propagate a tragedy. It is true there are men responsible for some serious pain in this world. There are women who are scarred for life in the hands of men supposed to be their protectors, providers and caregivers. I weep at the mere thought of little girls molested, women with battered bodies and other unspeakable evils done by men entrusted the responsibility to care. That shouldn't be, and it must be...

Relationships take work. Lots of it. And work is tiring. Infact we all work so we don't have to work. At least most of us do.We try as much as we can to separate between work and home life, and for the most part home is viewed as place of rest. Where we don't have to work again. Or at least not in the sense of applying ourselves hard. It's a hard reality to face, but needs to be faced nonetheless, because most people don't think of their current relationships as something that needs work. The natural progression of all things is towards disrepair and damage, relationships included. So it's always kinda strange when i hear people saying, "Things are not what they used to be." *Insert exasperated look*. What what did you expect? You haven't spent quality time with him/her, you keep unforgiveness and grudges, you laugh with your friends more, you are looking around and 'admiring' the handsome ones, the sex isn't all that, they are getting ...

Establishing autonomy, space and family identity is every married man's highest ambition. Men are not strange creatures, we just receive a great deal of validation from imparting our own identity and personal signature to things we consider our own. Probably stems from the command Adam got from God to name everything, and God actually honored every name Adam gave to creation. On the wedding day, the man imparts his name to his wife. All children bear the man's name as their family name. It is an awesome experience for a man when he sees his lineage going out there and doing significant things, because really, he figures, that it's him out there. But for this dynamic to fully be expressed and divulged in its fullness, the man must have his autonomy uninterrupted with and his freedom to express himself unfettered. With the current state of things due to men's irresponsibility and the absentee father, things have been going tough, especially for the married m...
