Boma like lots of other Ijaw children were wrongly taught about their identities in their childhood that they are Kalabari,Engenni,Nembe,Ibani, Akassa etc that they are not Ijaw's&they grew with they mindset to adulthood telling everyone they are not Ijaw's #IjawTwitterCommunity
A child who grows with such mindset finds its hard and struggles to accept and embrace his original identity. He continues to fight and avoid it and that is why we must make concentrated conscious efforts to continually orient&reorient the Ijaw child on his/her Ijaw identity....
An Ijaw child that is misinformed about his Ijaw identity moves about ignorantly disassociating himself from his people,culture and tradition. Has no pride,passion & enthusiasm towards his tribe,history,culture&tradition,lacks interest about his background #IjawTwitterCommunity
It is uttermostly and highly important Ijaw History is constantly taught indepth,discussed and circulated among us as a people so the right information is disseminated and the Ijaw child is well accurately informed about his historical cultural background. #IjawTwitterCommunity
This misinformation and wrong teaching breeds division,discord, disrespect, disunity, anger, hatred, bitterness,hinders growth,progress&development among Ijaws. And Ijaw youths must derive passionate pleasure in knowing their history,culture and tradition. #IjawTwitterCommunity

Women wonder why men find it hard opening up about their problems in life. You open up to a woman and slowly she starts avoiding,withdrawing herself from you and loses interest in you,she doesn't want to be around a liability. It's a whole lot,why we rather suffer in silence&die.
The same woman who assures you that you can trust her with your secrets,slowly starts making excuses for why she can't keep up with having contact with you,starts dodging you,unlooking, making you feel like a burden to her. Person who promised to be there,support and ride for you
These women who tell you to open up are just trying to know which men(those with problems) to avoid and stay far from and which to stay close to. You open up you have just dug your own pit for yourself and it will cost you so much to get out of that pit you've fallen into........
A lot of us are finding it hard to Forgive because we've heard or&seen our parents keep malice with people for ages they never forgave,they have indirectly unknowingly taught us how to keep malice,how to hold grudges with people and never let go
...no matter who preaches whatever about forgiveness and letting go to us. And it has become a part of us that we are still struggling battling with forgiving people who hurt us,lots of us have listened to touching messages on forgiveness in churches severally that made us...
..make up our minds to forgive as a result of listening to those messages but soon we get home and start feeling some sort of heaviness and are reminded of how we previously made up our minds not to forgive. Forgiving gives peace of mind you'll be so glad you forgave......
