I have often wondered why sane people find the mentally unstable, deranged or raving mad people fascinating and sometimes compelling to the point of being irresistible
Was it the lure of seeing someone whose mind had gone off the rails or perhaps the nakedness of their reality

It is true that we find a perverted pleasure or curiosity in watching the mad display their madness
A man dresses like a woman, is propped us for the world as an example of cross dressing and he attains a celebrity status
Just like that...
We have a taste for the morbid and the

gory
We like seeing broken humanity and sometimes we like taking advantage of such
Or how else would you explain mad women roaming about naked on the streets
Someone "sane" actually thought it was a good idea to sleep with such a fellow
I have seen men lust after naked mad women

unashamedly before
It was as if the madness address an allure, another layer of attractiveness to the young woman
I saw a man park a car once and shamelessly started to use money to engage and court the attention of a mad young lady
People said he wanted to use her for ritual but

it was not so
She later stabbed him in the stomach weeks later after they had sex in an uncompleted building
You will have to wonder how sane he was to be so engrossed in the world of such a dangerous lady
Was it love?
Was it sympathy?
Was it the God complex?
The saviour complex?

I read of a lady who set her ex on fire because he left her
Yes, sometimes fear keeps us in a relationship with the mentally unstable
I saw a lady once telling a guy she would kill him if he ever left her and he laughed!
Wow!
She wasn't joking and he didn't see the red flag!

Several cases of unstable men pouring acid on a lady because she broke up with them used to be rampant
We have seen cases of stabbings, skewering and so on
I remember a case i once witnessed
This lady cheated and the guy caught her red handed
She knew his temper was madness and

accepted that the relationship was over
Two weeks after the whole drama, she sneaked out of her mother's house to this guy's flat and this guy fed her viper insecticide
He killed her and then he went to the police station to report that she died in her sleep
Why did she go back?

I had a crazy rule before i got married
If you ever touch me physically with the intention to harm me during an argument or out of anger, that is the end of the relationship
If I feel threatened in any way in your company or that of your friends, i am walking away!
I am worth

one million of you put together and i cannot allow one iron bender's daughter to ruin my glorious life
I have seen relatives of the mentally unstable doing everything to get that their mentally unstable child married too
I think this is sheer wickedness
Why package a liability

for someone's son or daughter to live with?
I believe mentally unstable people should get help and be healed and then they can get married but marriage shouldn't be part of their therapy
Please keep away from live wires who can snuff out your life without a second thought!

Finally, my heart wept for the young lady whose video i saw so full of life only to read that she was killed and her body parts harvested for ritual
See...
You cannot tell me you don't know when you're in the company of someone whose only desire was to use you
Intuition is real!

Once you feel uncomfortable around anyone, either male or female, you don't really need a reason to walk away from them
I met a guy once in Bodija Estate Ibadan, we met on a football field and he was very friendly towards me
I liked him too
A few days later somebody said this guy

lured a neighbour's son to a place in Ijebu, intending to use the guy for money ritual but the voodoo didn't work. I didn't wait to see if it was a rumor or not. I shooed him off and never had anything to do with him again
If you suspect/smell a foul play in your guts, pls run!

PS: That woman they are listening to in certain churches and spreading her picture and silliness all over the internet is not mentally okay
We all know it is not good to laugh at mentally unstable people
Please ignore her so that she can get help
That's how to help her!

Thanks
