Pastor Wa's Blog

Fred and I worked together for a number of years as pastors. I love his work and family. Plus he has the heart of a true pastor. He is a published author with some good books out there, and a blog too, from which this post is taken. I hope you are as provoked by this piece as much as I was. You can always head to his blog for more. Enjoy the read They remain the most terrifying nights of my childhood years. We would be jolted out of our sleep by screams and traditional distress calls indicating that a family in the community had been attacked and their livestock stolen. The rest of the community would join in amplifying the distress calls. The cacophony would last anything from two to four hours. As the women kept the alarm bells ringing, the men would group and pursue the raiders. Sometimes they would recover the stolen animals but mostly they didn’t. When a homestead was attacked, there was little a family could do to repel the raiders; they were outnumbered and out-armed. Any atte...

Women, like cats, of course want attention. They desire to be noticed, they almost seem to revel in it. There are two categories of men, those that know this and how to use it, and well, the rest. It’s sorta like wealthy folk and the rest of mankind. See if you have 2 of anything, you’re rich. But wealth? That’s different. Wealth and rich are very different. It's two worlds, found both in the mind, and the heart. For starters, wealthy people know what they can do, rich folk know and care about what they want. Their two world views are totally different. For example, Kobe Bryant is rich, but the man that signs his check is wealthy. He yanks the chain however he wants, and has the green to back up his whims. Back to   felines  women, the attention thingie doesn't go away. It's hard coded in them. From the moment Johnny Bravo Adam woke up and mumbled 'Oh mama',  Men have always noticed women. And women DO want to be noticed. I'm not God, so i'm gonna ste...

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...
