  • Marriage: A Love That Survives Storms and Lights Up Destinies

    Marriage is not just a union—it is a battlefield of love, loyalty, and raw emotions. It is where two souls stand exposed, stripped of their fears, their defenses, their past wounds, and still whisper, “I choose you.” It is the courage to hold someone’s heart in your hands and promise never to break it, even when life shakes you to your core.

    Marriage is dramatic because love itself is dramatic. It pulls, it stretches, it tests, and it transforms. There are days when passion burns so brightly it feels like the world stops just to honor your connection. And there are nights when tears fall, voices tremble, and you wonder if love is enough. But then, in the darkest moments, one touch… one apology… one heartbeat brings your souls back together, reminding you that this bond is stronger than any storm.

    This sacred journey is made of emotional victories—choosing to stay when walking away seems easier, loving when anger tries to take over, protecting each other even when the world turns cold. Marriage is the fire that melts pride, the anchor that steadies troubled waters, and the miracle that turns ordinary days into stories of devotion.

    It is dramatic in its beauty: the late-night confessions, the silent hugs, the fierce arguments that end in deeper understanding, and the unspoken truth that no matter what happens, your souls are tied.

    Marriage is not perfect—but it is powerful. It is the epic love story written by two hearts brave enough to fight for each other every single day.

  • The Heart of Marriage: A Journey of Two Souls

    Marriage is not just a ceremony or a title—it is the quiet miracle of two souls choosing each other again and again. It is that sacred moment when two hearts confess, “I want to walk through this life with you,” and mean it with every breath. Marriage is the place where love grows deeper than words, where vulnerability becomes strength, and where two imperfect people dare to build something perfect in its own way.

    In marriage, emotions run deeper than the surface. There are days filled with laughter, warmth, and sweet romance—moments that remind you why your hearts connected in the first place. But there are also days of tears, misunderstandings, and silent battles. Yet even in those storms, marriage whispers, “Hold on. Choose love again.” Because true love doesn’t run away; it fights, it forgives, it stays.

    Marriage is the soft comfort of knowing someone sees your flaws and still calls you theirs. It is the gentle touch that calms your fears, the voice that reminds you that you are never alone, and the presence that feels like home even in the darkest hours. It is the deep friendship that grows stronger with every challenge, and the unspoken promise that no matter what life brings, your hearts will face it together.

    When two people love with honesty, patience, and courage, marriage becomes more than a union—it becomes a beautiful story written by two hearts beating as one. And that story, when nurtured with care, lasts forever.

  • The Intensity of a Powerful Relationship

    A strong relationship is not built in silence or perfection; it is forged in the fire of two hearts that refuse to let go of each other, even when the world feels heavy. It is the story of two people who learn to love boldly, speak honestly, and stand together when everything else tries to pull them apart.

    In every dramatic, unforgettable relationship, communication becomes the lifeline. It is not just talking — it is the courage to say, “This is how I feel,” even when your voice shakes. It is the strength to listen with patience, even when emotions rise like storms. True connection happens when both partners drop their guards and allow their real selves to be seen.

    Respect becomes the anchor that holds everything in place. It is admiring your partner’s strength, valuing their dreams, and honoring their vulnerability. It is standing beside them not only when they shine, but also when life breaks them down. Respect says, “I see your flaws, and I still choose you.” That choice is powerful, dramatic, and deeply meaningful.

    Trust is where the heart trembles the most. It is giving someone the power to hurt you — and believing they won’t. It is knowing that even during arguments, silence, or fear, they will not walk away. Trust turns ordinary relationships into something profound, something that can survive storms, doubts, and distance.

    A dramatic relationship is not always quiet or perfect. It is filled with passion, deep emotions, raw honesty, and powerful moments of growth. It is crying together, healing together, dreaming together, and finding strength in each other’s presence.

    In the end, the most dramatic relationships are the ones where two people hold on — fiercely, passionately, and wholeheartedly — choosing love not just in peaceful moments, but in the chaos, the change, and the challenges.

    Because real love is not a calm river.
    It is a wave — intense, rising, unstoppable — carrying two hearts that refuse to drift apart.

  • The Romance of a True Relationship

    A true relationship is a beautiful dance of two hearts beating in the same rhythm. It is that soft magic that turns ordinary moments into memories, simple conversations into warmth, and quiet nights into a feeling of home. Romance isn’t just flowers and sweet words — it’s the way two souls find comfort, passion, and peace in each other’s presence.

    Real romance lives in the little things. The gentle touch on the hand that says “I’m here.” The long hugs that slow down time. The sweet glances that speak louder than a thousand words. It’s waking up knowing that someone’s heart is tied to yours, and going to bed grateful that love chose you again today.

    Communication becomes a romantic language — not just talking, but sharing dreams, fears, hopes, and secrets. Lovers who communicate openly create a world where nothing feels too heavy to carry together. Every “tell me how you feel” becomes an act of love.

    Respect becomes admiration. It is looking at your partner and seeing beauty in their strengths, softness in their flaws, and greatness in their potential. It’s loving them not for what they have, but for who they are.

    And trust becomes the most romantic promise of all — the quiet assurance that your heart is safe in their hands. When trust is present, love blossoms effortlessly, like a flower blooming toward sunlight.

    A romantic relationship is two imperfect people choosing each other with passion, tenderness, and devotion. It is loving loudly on the good days and holding tightly on the difficult days. It is laughter, deep conversations, shared dreams, and a bond that feels like destiny.

    At its core, true romance is simple:
    Two hearts that choose each other — again, again, and forever.

    Mummy I never believed a day would come when my own heart would betray me. I’ve always been the type of woman who trusts her husband completely. I stay in Lagos because of work, while my husband lives and works in Abuja. Distance wasn’t easy, but I trusted him with my whole chest.

    My younger sister lives closer to Abuja, so she always volunteered to check on him. I didn’t suspect anything after all, she’s my bl00d, my own sister. Anytime my husband needed food or help, she would rush there and tell me, Sister don’t worry I’ve cooked for him, I’ve cleaned, I’ve taken care of him. I thought she was doing it out of love for me.

    But life has a way of exposing what’s done in the dark.

    One weekend, my husband came home to Lagos unexpectedly. He said he missed me, and I was so happy. That night, he slept off on the couch after eating. Normally, I never touch his phone. I’m not that kind of woman. But that day, for reasons I still don’t understand, his phone kept lighting up with messages. Curiosity pushed me. I picked it up.
    He forgot to lock it.

    The first message I saw was from my younger sister:
    “I’ll be there this weekend as usual. Should I cook the okra soup you like?” Hope you’re coming back soon. Missed you.

    My heart dropped.

    I opened the chat fully… and that was when my legs started shaking. Messages upon messages, Photos…
    Voice notes, Memories from months back. Talks about how she spends every weekend there. how she cooks for him. how she “takes care” of him in ways I can’t write here.

    Everything I thought was innocent. was a whole relationship behind my back.

    I confronted him right there, shaking like a leaf. He broke down and confessed. He said it “happened once” but they “continued talking.” He thought it would end. I called my sister and she started crying, saying she didn’t know how to tell me, that it was a mistake, that she got too close.

    To make it worse, her daughter. The one she had last year. I now understand why she never mentioned the father. My sister’s child, Is for my husband.

    Till today, I still don’t know how I didn’t kpai that night. The betrayal from my sister cuts deeper than anything. The disappointment from my husband is a wound that won’t heal quickly.

    I’m still in shock.
    Still trying to breathe.
    Still trying to understand how people you love the most can hide the biggest kn!ves behind their smiles.

    I don’t know my next step yet. I haven’t spoken to any of them, families are begging but i think i am done with both of them.

    Good Afternoon , Please help me share my story on your wall for your audience's opinions.
    I'm a 25-year-old lady working in a private company. is all about my boss, who is also the owner of the company. He is handsome, kind, and caring in fact, he is everything I need in a man. He is single. I don't know if he has a girlfriend, but all I know is that he isn't married. At first, I thought he loved me due to how he treated me. There was a time he invited me to his house so I could know where he lives. After staying for almost an hour, he still didn't make any advances. From there, I planned to make a move because I loved him.
    I went to see a fetish priest, he made me pay 1.6million naira and gave me some directions. He gave me a powder brown like make up foundation and mascara to apply each day when going to work. He also instructed me not to eat anything at work until I see my boss everyday, for 3 solid days. On the third day, he unexpectedly grabbed me in his office when I sent some files. I knew the juju had worked. Well, I mellowed for us to have a good time.
    It's been just 5 months now. He is already talking about settling down, and he has already met my family. He worships me,According to the priest, it's a 'forever' kind of thing, but I'm afraid to settle down with him. I genuinely love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him, but what if the effect clears off one day? This is someone who only liked me due to my enthusiastic nature towards his work; he didn't love me. So, what if this thing clears off one day while we are married? What will I do? Audience, please, what should I do?

    Good morning mummy . I've been married 5years. I'm just not happy right now. And I don't know if there are other women in my shoes and how they cope.

    We have two lovely kids. I work and earn more than hubby, I earn about 580k and hubby about 390k. I'm ok with this. But hubby has left all financial responsibilities to me. I told him that we should calculate what we spend a month and bring half of it each but he refused. Sometimes before the month end i will be owning so much. I try to save for the future but i can’t because the expenses is too much. Hubby lives above his means, he uses his money for his personal things.. I dare not complain or ask him for money cos he will say so with that my big salary I'm still looking at his.

    The thing is, is this normal? I'm loosing it. I feel like a single mother just struggling a lot of times. He has never dropped 1 kobo for the children's clothes. Everything is on me. Most times I feel drained and this man will still complain with disgust that there is not enough Meat in the soup, I dare not put only 1 piece of meat on his plate.

    Is this what marriage is about? I thot a man is supoosed to add value to me when i marry or is it a curse to earn more as a woman?.I haven't just come to complain I am seeking advise.

    Mama I didn’t get back again because of my husband. Sorry to say I am part of those that married what I do not know.
    My husband is this type that you will discuss with him and he will tell everyone .
    I did not quickly know I already told him so much about my family . I told him about a lady in our street that is chasing a friends husband. Something happened , he is eating from a young lady in our compound I always warned him. That I do not like it is somehow . Your husband eating from such people . Even rumours starts to fly that they are sleeping together and I know that one is not true.
    So that evening I came back from program. Met him outside the girl frontage helping her rinse plate while they were talking outside . Me and my husbabd engaged in a big argument. I spoke in urhobo ooo that what are you doing ? He said what does it look like ? I asked is that all you can say he said yes. I said but at home you forbid washing plate he said if to say I fine like her he for use to wash plate I could not hold it again. I started to blast him back. If I speak to him with language he will answer in English. This lady start to laugh.
    He started saying that his wife is insecure, people yaps that day next thing he start to talk about how I accuse the other lady of sleeping with my friend husband and this girl in my yard is her friend.
    The humiliation. That girl came around 8pm to knock door and started blasting me, tears started raining out of my eyes because my husband gave me out. He later apologized. Next day my husband was seen standing in front of the ladies house. I am tired what else can I do.

  • THIS BAN OF THE USE OF INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION IN NIGERIAN SCHOOLS. BY DR MRS NMA OLEBARA.
    Mother tongue is the inelinable identity of a people. It is an imperative vehicle of expression of a people's way of life and this covers the day to day activities - occupation, arts and crafts, businesses, culture, agriculture, religious worship, beliefs, science and arts.
    Currently, the world over, even small tribes and climes have woken up to protect and promote their indigenous languages in all fields of study and engagement.
    UNESCO has been on the forefront of ensuring that indigenous languages are protected and promoted.
    The question is, from where did this new policy summersault of "no more teaching in indigenous language emanate?" What happened in Nigeria's glorious years of education? By this, I mean, from independence till the 80s or even 90s. Today, specifically from year 2000 counting forward, bad, rudderless and inconsistent leadership generally and in the education sector in particular account for what I describe as education tsunami in Nigeria.
    Nigeria is a British colony that brought education to us via English language. English is the universal language in Nigeria just as French is to French colonies. We have done well within and outside Nigeria, communicating generally in English. We have also done well sustaining and promoting our local languages. Who wants us to drop the teaching of, say Igbo language, when it is being studied up to professorial levels in many countries of the world like America, Britain, China etc. Another question, how has Nigeria recently commenced the study of Chinese in Nigerian institutions and is now calling for the abrogation of indigenous languages in Nigeria? Is this another agenda of culture and mental enslavement on our people?
    Recall a one time uninspiring regime in Nigeria for no reason abolished the study of Nigerians history in Nigerian schools, only to realize the damage it has done to itself today. And so it was at the end of the Nigerian civil war that, the federal military government then in power abolished the department of chemical engineering at the university of Nigeria Nsukka for no other reason than that their university graduates produced war equipment including bombs for the Biafran side.
    Who is doing all these to us? Neo colonialism is here with us to disorient and subjugate us to their utmost benefits, leaving some crumbs for our treacherous self imposed leaders.
    I finally submit, let English, French and other languages flourish for our universal communication and outreach but let indigenous languages be sustained and seriously promoted for purposes of our identity and homogeneity. He who does not speak his indigenous language, ceases contact with his forebears. Indigenous language is a matter of identity, a "sine qua non".
    THIS BAN OF THE USE OF INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION IN NIGERIAN SCHOOLS. BY DR MRS NMA OLEBARA. Mother tongue is the inelinable identity of a people. It is an imperative vehicle of expression of a people's way of life and this covers the day to day activities - occupation, arts and crafts, businesses, culture, agriculture, religious worship, beliefs, science and arts. Currently, the world over, even small tribes and climes have woken up to protect and promote their indigenous languages in all fields of study and engagement. UNESCO has been on the forefront of ensuring that indigenous languages are protected and promoted. The question is, from where did this new policy summersault of "no more teaching in indigenous language emanate?" What happened in Nigeria's glorious years of education? By this, I mean, from independence till the 80s or even 90s. Today, specifically from year 2000 counting forward, bad, rudderless and inconsistent leadership generally and in the education sector in particular account for what I describe as education tsunami in Nigeria.
