15 things when you have a younger brother.

Do you have a younger brother or two hanging around the house or country somewhere? Well, some of us at TRJ do too, and we want to touch back at all those things that make us love them (well, most of the time). Here we go...


1. He will always be touching your things.

Nothing is safe. No toy. No game. No clothes. No phone.

2.  He will get you in trouble so many times with your parents, you'll stop involving him in anything you're doing for a while - as punishment

Power!

Two men

One intimidated by the lady in her

The other, unsatisfied with it

Both actually fail to recognize one thing -

The powers that be

Which she possesses.

When I was younger, my father always told me never to be a liability. He always said, “Mary! You have all it takes to be all you want.” As I grew up, I realized that all he told me was true. All I needed to be comfortable, is within me. 

The Case - Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine:

8:00pm Day 3

"Those morons should've been back by now", said Jones.

He knew something was wrong.

Jake had called the DA and told him about their plan. Of course, Jones yelled at him for half the time the conversation lasted, but later agreed to help him. It was their secret, even Chris didn't know about this.

Of course Jake didn't want to risk another slap. Something was wrong, and he felt it in his bones. Jake gave him a tracking device and bugged the guys secretly so that they could find the hide-out. The gang wouldn't be expecting them since no one knows where they stay.

Hi. 

As a lot of you know I'm not really all that much of a regular poster on here as much as I would have loved to be, but I'm still working on it. I've got my own good reasons, but I won't be addressing those now because I'm here to talk about something else, which is much more important.

I'm here to talk about sharing the Christian faith.

Triolet 5: God is King

Triolet 5: God is King

God is King over Israel,

Ruling with justice and mercy;

The people boast, ‘Immanuel,

God is King over Israel…’

In Zion always will He dwell,

Guarding His people jealously—

God is king over Israel,

Ruling with justice and mercy.

How We Killed The World....

"If you could ask God one question.....what would it be?"

That's the post I saw in Nairaland one day. It's not a new question. Many people have asked the same question before. And many more people still will.

"Why did you create hell?"

There Was A Time....

There was a time when I was younger I had believed I was the smartest person in Nigeria.... or at least the most prolific in the English Language. I had been surrounded by a lot of people in the urban area that time, and had just recently returned from the United States.

I thought I was the bomb. A genius maybe. Ok, maybe I didn't have a secret basement laboratory to chase my older sister(s) out of, or a huge giant sized (hypertrophied) brain bobbing up and down everywhere I went, or even some kind of red and gold metal semi-robotic suit.

I, just like many of you, felt on top of the world then. I was unstoppable. I was still high on dreams....

Love, Sunday

Being Female In Nigeria

A  topic started showing up recently, which I think would be amazing if we looked at it seriously - and helped it gain the recognition it deserves. Many of you may have heard of it, and most of you will actually be affected by it. You may already know it, the trend

#BeingFemaleInNigeria

This hashtag, currently trending on twitter highlights the various socioethical and various other injustices visited on women, mentally, physically or otherwise throughout the country Nigeria, As many of who already live here know, the country is more or less especially patriarchal in nature. Everything mostly seems to revolve around "THE MAN". The man is everything. The man is all that matters,

*Do you have children?  Yes? --->Great

*Are any male?
Yes - Good for you
No - Oh sorry.....don't worry, we will still take care of your inheritance for you.

Movie Love

I hate romance movies.

I used to be more or less apathetic towards the genre and it’s relations and concepts but lately they just annoy me. A lot now. The fact that a movie will show a story of people being/falling in love within 2 hours is deceitful. Frightfully so.

It’s like showing a football match of Manchester United vs Chelsea within a 2 minute video.

The First Time I Fell in Love

"Love is blind, because Mother started loving me - before she saw my face"

The first time I fell in love
By Jamike Ekennia-Ebeh
--------------------------------------------


The first time I fell in love; I couldn't understand it.
I was then so young and felt life was a gambit
But to me it didn't matter, this was love at first sight
It was a love that felt, even, righter than right
So I gazed at love.... and love gazed back
See.....the first time I fell? I fell right on track

When we 'form' for God ....

*FIVE* reasons why a woman can make a change in Nigeria

Truthfully? I can give you 10 reasons or I can give you 1. It all 

stands the same if the depth behind the truth of it is clear. But I 

will give you these 5 all the same.

The first reason is the 'Understanding of life'. Only a woman, having the ability to house a living creature inside her body for 9 months would truly be able to give anything to make sure life is what it is truly meant to be, she would be truly able to see everyone as her child.

1. When you entertain the whole village

You know...when everybody decides that your house has suddenly become the best eatery around. Better yet? The food is free. They just cannot resist it. Joyful times :|
You've become the breadgiver (or in the childrens' case - the breadserver) for everyone around for miles and miles....









2. When the whole village entertains you

When you decide that you don't want to spend your own money or eat your own food, you know that hot tasty meal is just a few footsteps across into the other compounds around. You go about ever searching for the next hot meal.

Being Shy

Hi. I'm Jamike.  I'm kinda sure you knew this already but I'll try to go on with what we're here for.

Shyness. It's a dilemma for many and deemed an asset by very very few.
Have you ever wondered if you're shy?  If you're actually wondering...then it's likely you're not. If you've ever wondered whether you're outspoken.....it's most likely that you are...sorry? :P
