DON'T GET IT TWISTED, LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING...

My wife and I decided to play hide and seek yesterday. It was quite a fun game to play. But this time, we set a price. If I find her, she gets to cook me what ever food I desire. And if I don't find her, I get to cook for her
and my visiting parents, for two whole days, while she takes a break.

My parents were upstairs sleeping by then. Ever since they arrived from the village three days ago, they have been sleeping and resting.
According to mama, she said she had come for a vacation in her son home
We rang the bell to signify the start of the game. And if eventually I do not find her, I will ring the bell to signify that I have given up.

My wife ran to hide, while I shut my eyes tight. When it was time, I opened my eyes and began searching for her.
I checked the sitting room, the kitchen, our bedroom, the guest room, the toilet, went back to the sitting room, checked the cupboards and the wardrobe. At a point, I started looking under the chairs, and behind the flat screen Tv, 😂 and even the drawers for my wife,
but I could not find her. SubhanAllah she just disappeared into thin air.

I remembered my parents room, and quickly ran to their bedroom. I knocked and my mum was awake. She answered and told me to come in. I tiptoed inside to find my father fast asleep and snoring like a Tiger.
My mum was reading her Qur'an with her legs stretched under the thick blankets.

Abdullah, what it?" My mum asked.

"Mom, I am looking for my wife."

"Your wife?"

"Yes mom, have you seen her? Did she enter here?"

"No …." My mom answered.
I heaved a sigh and told her about the game we were playing and the bet we agreed on. My mother laughed. She knew how much I disliked cooking, even though I knew how to cook well. My mother told me to go out and find my wife before it was too late.
After searching the whole house, I gave up. I rang the bell to signify that she's won the game.

"Honey you have won . Come out from were ever you are hiding." I shouted.

A loud laughter erupted from my parents bedroom immediately. I quickly ran upstairs to find my wife seated
in the centre of my two parents.AllahuAkbar

My father who was snoring while sleeping, was now awake. He kept smiling. My mother was no longer reading Qur'an any longer. My wife kept laughing at me.
"So you guys planned this ? Even you dad, you join them the do me. No wallah. You people should adopt her as your daughter. Just know you have lost your son." I was frightened

My mother could not stop laughing. I stood there feeling alone. I hated loosing a game.
My wife is saying to me that "Alhamdulillah, now I win you. So go to the kitchen, wash the plates, clean the floor, and wait for our instruction. We would decide on the kind of food we want you to cook."
As I walked out of the room I heard my father say.

"Let him pound yam. I want to eat pounded yam."
My is saying
"No . Let him cut vegetable."
Both have decided
"pounded yam and vegetable soup with spinach and mushrooms will make sense."
Well the family finally settled for pounded yam and vegetable soup. I was given the list of things to buy from the market. It was not an easy journey.

I returned home and started cooking. I was in the kitchen seriously pounding yam and sweating like a goat
about to be slaughtered, when my wife walked into the kitchen and hugged me from behind.

Abdullah I love you." She whispered into my ears in the most romantic of voices.💖

She kissed my cheeks and collected the dirts from me, and I smiled. 😁😁😁
My Prayer for every unmarried person is that you find ourselves in that happy family that knows no sadness. That you meet the right partner whose love and romance will be unending. And to those facing an unhappy marriage,may Allah azza wajal heal their homes.
Ameen

Again I am asking. Why does it always have to be Igbo names?

News: Sultan urges Muslims to look for the new moon

Ikenga: Misplaced priority. How does new moon affect hunger in the land. Yeye fanatics.
Chinedu: Why is the Sultan always asking his brothers to look for Moon that we see everyday.

Chibueze: The old one was stolen by the APC Government (this particular idiot may have an MSc, but he does not know what new moon is)
Uchenna: You are trying to claim ownership of the moon. They will soon start killing people over moon. Illiteracy and barbarism.

Again, I am asking. Why must comments like these always come from Igbos?

The Best Kayan Mata

Last week, I was requested to intervene in a marital brouhaha gone awry. The couple are relatively young and their marriage is still very fresh - just about three months old. I met the couple separately, and also talked to some of their closest associates
who are well acquainted with the issue. The outcome of my investigation is that their case is as simple as it is complicated. Unfortunately, not only were the couple too naive in the way that they handled their differences, their case, in fact,
is a classical example of the proverbial “too many cooks spoil the broth.”

Some of the issues revolve around personal hygiene, lack of discipline and home training, lack of culinary skills, stinginess, wickedness, bad communication strategy, sexual exploitation, et cetera.

"EVERYONE AROUND ME IS GETTING MARRIED. WHEN IS MY TURN?"

Dear sisters who didn't get married yet and afraid of what people may say about her.
Don't worry. Marriage is Rizq from Allah and He will surely grant it to when He wills it and not when you want it.
Don’t care of what people may say about you, remember that Maryam 'alaiha as-salam not got married and she is the only woman who has a whole Surah with her name.
So if not having a husband is a defect, she wouldn't have been mentioned in Qur’an.
Not getting married is not a flaw or a defect but not maintaining chastity is.

The real defect is that a woman doesn't preserve her purity and chastity.

Be patient and be sure that Allah will reward you greatly for your patience at the end this Dunya is not about men or

Ladieswhy??? Why this kind of wickedness to a poor innocent baby, if you don't want the baby, kindly take the baby to an orphanage!

🚫Stop this wickedness.
My Beloved Sister in Islam, if unfortunately you were to abort your unborn child for any reason whatsoever, we assure you in the name of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that on the Day of Judgment the Lord Most High will put life back into that innocent murdered soul and
you will have to present an answer to the Lord All-Knowing for what crime was it killed!!!
Fear Allah and abstain from this most heinous of sins. Keep your full trust and faith in Allah and remain constant in your supplications towards Him to have mercy on you and your child,

While in a public transport today, a woman on my row started begging people for financial assistance.

The man sitting directly in front of me dug hand in his wallet and gave her N500, then others followed, she eventually got over a thousand naira within that short period.
Not long after that, the same man that gave this woman N500 then wanted to buy a bottled water, and the hawker had to run to catch up with us because the man wanted to give him N100 and he had to collect his N50 change first before handing him the N100.
The scenario touched me!
Immediately, I requested for a bottle too and gave the guy 200. A woman beside me shouted...Ahh, let him give you your change first before giving him money😳💁🏻!!

She looked at me as if I'm a "mutula", a new person in Lagos wey dem never show😀.

When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits
in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!

All my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, ....
but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that ugly burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing...never made a face nor uttered a word about it!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits.
