My gender never ceases to amaze me

I know we live in a cruel world, a lot of people have become so inhumane and their conscience has gone to the drains. How do people get to knock someone down on the road and just zoom off like nothing happened?, they don't even want to find out if he/she has a chance at survival or not. How do they get to sleep at night?

An Incidence of such happened yesterday, and I kept asking myself these questions. I was with my colleagues and I had to voice it out cos I was disturbed and to my utmost surprise one of them said that I was just talking because I wasn't in the person's shoes plus we were in the festive season, who would want to spend money on such things, he also added that I was just talking from a young girl's perspective. I had to tell him there was nothing like a young girl's perspective here, we all have human conscience and we should make use of it.

Since that event transpired till now, I haven't been myself, I've kept on wondering if truly I was talking from a young person's perspective or if there are more people like the driver and my colleague cos it was obvious he would have done same.

So I want to know, what would you do if you were in this position?, Would you hit and run or stop to save the person's life?

Everything in life happens for a purpose......there's light at the end of every tunnel.

Op dey your house o.......don't go. But if you want to receive motivational speech for like 3hrs, write test then dash them money, you can go.

So I travelled by water for the first time in my life on Thursday. It was a journey from Port Harcourt to Bonny Island. My colleagues and I boarded a speed boat.

Initially I wasn't scared like I should have been since it was my first time. I was basically excited and eager to know how travelling by water was like.

The journey started, we hadn't even gotten anywhere when the boat stopped, gbagam......that was when the wahala started, my mind skipped. engers started shouting, telling the sailor to go back since we hadn't gone far, he obliged and reversed, then he started working on the boat and it jerked back to life, then he turned again and continued the journey.

The journey was going well, the water was still calm since it was in the morning. We had travelled a reasonable distance where we couldn't see anything else except water then the boat stopped again. Ah........mogbe, I became scared, he worked on it again and it wasn't long when the engine started and we sailed on.

Different thoughts began to flood my head, my mind was playing tricks on me. My mind started singing "When peace like a river....." I was like which kind wahala be dis before I knew it was "The storm is over". My mind started displaying Titanic for me, nothing fear no go cause, I just tire.

Next was Geography, one thought was if it was salt water or fresh water? I sha got my answer when water splashed on my face and entered my mouth. Damn!, It was salty.

The part I enjoyed most was when we were about reaching and a wave ed, the way the boat went up and down, bouncing on the water made me feel like I was going on a rescue mission (wetin too much film dey cause) Lol.

We finally arrived and my face was all itchy because of the water that splashed on it, had to get water to watch my face. I kinda enjoyed it though.

Have you ever travelled by water? What was your first experience like?

Skyfornia:


I made a similar choice for two years...but now that I'm ready, the people I would have chosen are all married, it is difficult to find a good woman now.

Don't worry.....a good woman will come and she'll be the right one for you.

TroubleMaker47:

When did 5'10" become overtly "Tall"?
Even for female?

I didn't say I was overly tall, I talked about having overly tall children

Marpol2021:
Madam op, hope your height is like this::

Lol.....it hasn't gotten to that nah

vikstandon:



Babe you no tall now... 5 feet 8inch you dey shout tallness. Abeg commot road... NEXT PERSON PLEASE!!

That's not 5"8, do your research well

Cerebellum:
Lol...I'm a tall guy too..5.11, for my age tho

But my friends will say i better not get married to a tall lady, I'll just smile and say "why"?

Actually, I'll say they're right and wrong...I personally will go for at least a 5.9 lady, one who's thick

Anyway, are you Thattallgirl @ OP?

No....I'm not

EdoFirstBorn:
Here are my thoughts

Learn to mind your business

Use your time and thoughts in something more beneficial

How can you sit and start to ponder on such a useless meaningless topic?

Focus on your life and build yourself up
Useless thread

I'm actually minding my business, I didn't mention you here....and thank you, I'll build myself.

It's not a new thing that whenever a girl is tall, she's told by people not to get married to a tall guy so that they don't birth overly tall children.

I'll take myself for example, I've had several encounters of such. The recent one was yesterday at my workplace, just walked in to get something and what lead to the discussion is what I don't know, I'm about 1.79m tall.....and they were like I shouldn't marry a tall man o, that we'll give birth to children that'll be too tall, that I should marry a short man and I was like what are these people saying ......my partner will either be the same height with me or a bit taller than me, you guys should allow me worry about my children biko.

Have you ever encountered this? Both as a lady/guy, What was your response?

caandi:

Lilpen3758:
you sure??
You are breaking my heart ooh

Oversure dey worry me

Ayaaz:


Without discrediting you, alot of females claim to value honesty and abhor dishonesty

Check school yearbooks, you'll see most girls with honesty as a turn on and dishonesty as a turn off

The reality and experience shows that it's all just bull and not true, since it's common knowledge that women prefer smooth liars to honest, straightforward dudes

You may be an exception though, rare as it actually is

No offence taken if you discredit me, I understand......a lot of people claim honesty but behave the opposite.....I for one prefer actions to words......so I won't just say I'm honest, I let my actions speak for me.

HabaHaba:


We share similar values dear

That's nice, I have other values which I hold dearly too........but I feel these two tops the list.

Lilpen3758:
I was just trying to make you sound like you just did
#annoyed

Lol.......it sha didn't work plus I'm not annoyed

Lilpen3758:
but you deh Bleep ba??

Oya it's time to tell me what your problem really is........ Why'd you always ask me this question?

flexyrule:

Thank you

What are the values you hold so dearly? that you can't compromise for anything at all.

Mine is honesty and truthfulness........I try to be so honest in all my dealings with people, I don't cheat people and I also hate lies with a ion and try to avoid situations that'll make me tell lies to the extent my mom calls me mother mary.

Please share yours.

emmaodet:


Bro, why do i think you are kind of pacifying her to marry a man with potential.
Women are not doing any man a favour by sticking with them. If they like make them marry or not, men won't die and life will move on.
Only if you know that most men are also enduring them.
Hardly will you see a nigerian relationship that is balanced.
It is all about what they can gain from men.
Most of the relationship have ever been were a waste of time and resources. I don't fancy it anymore.
How will you date a woman for 3,6 months or a year without nothing to show for it.
You look back, no boxers, no wrist watch, no singlet or wears, sneakers etc NOTHING!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! and you think i will be proud of such person? Someone i can with anything, no hosting me on outing or pool or cinema etc
It is very very very boring.
Love should be give and take.
If you are too broke to buy things for your bf in a relationship, then am sorry you have a misplaced priority.
What you need as a woman then is a job and not a relationship.

I'm in love with this comment

DAMN99:

cokeryusuf09:
it might be a good choice for you and a terrible for someone not in your imagination

I agree with you......that's why you should go after someone whose goals are in line with yours.

Lilpen3758:
Why don't u Bleep around since you are not in a relationship and don't want be in a relationship?
I thought that was the whole point of not being in a relationship

Not everyone thinks that way.....personality differs you know

Lilpen3758:
But shey u deh Bleep? because sex and relationship are two different things

I don't plus I know they're two different things.

Have you ever been in a situation where you're single and refuse going into a relationship because you feel you have some set goals to achieve first? Like you feel I really need some certain things first and because of this reason, these people asking you out starts seeing you as being self-centered and wicked.

I'll start with mine, I refused dating anyone for now because I feel I need to attain some level of financial stability and develop some other aspects of my life before going into one......so I can love my partner the best way there is to love. These reasons I've given to the people asking me out in the most clearest way possible but they don't seem to get the point, that was how one called me selfish and said I'm undeserving of his love, another said I'm choosing my career over him that I shouldn't worry, time would tell.........see me see wahala o
