The voice of a girl child.

I get at least 80% attention from my parents,
The girl child is seen as the pride of her household,
She is the apple of her father's eye.
Her mother instills the best upbringing in her,
Just so she can make her family proud when she finally gets to her in-laws.

What can be said about the one who has been defamed?
Leaving her all shattered,
She has been defiled and striped of her pride,
A stigma that leaves a lifetime scar,
Rather than being showed love, hatred is all she gets.
Her speech is lost,
Extinguishing her dreams,
She becomes inferior not only to the society but also to herself.

Being a girl child doesn't make me an object of molestation,
Being a girl child doesn't give anyone the right to snatch my voice before I can even speak,
Being a girl child doesn't mean I can't hold a post in the society,
Being a girl child doesn't mean I should only be showed the four walls of my father's house,
I also deserve to see and experience what the outside world is like.
All I ask for as a girl child is love, care, opportunity, support and most importantly the respect that I truly deserve and not to be blackened.

We are not afraid of being pretty, powerful, smart and plain,
We have been nourished with the water of life,
We will speak when you can't,
We will gather when you are still,
We will grow into women,
We will chase our dreams and fulfill it.
You will hear our plight and learn,

Yours is a life of brightness,
The darkness had turned to dawn.
The dreams you hold within your hearts,
Allow them to move forward.
Her elegant spirit is so bright and strong. Yet, she becomes a property of exchange,
Having no say over anything.
These are true words not spoken.
Instilled in me, in order to teach the rest,
Feel the discomfort of many innocent sisters.
Finally I have reached a lot

My name is damilare, and this is my story. My UNIOSUN story

I gained admission into UNIOSUN to study political science and international relations in 2015. I did everything necessary to make sure I did not loose my admission back then. I give thanks to God today, I'm a bonafide student of the university. Osun state university has been a very wonderful place to be, To me, it's mostly because of the kind of people I've met here over time, the diversity in people has actually changed my life. For better! I remember vividly, before I gained admission, I was a very bad boy when it came to ladies affair. I had dated all the girl in my street. Why? I look very brilliantly handsome! Yeah, with alot of swagger! And to cap it all, my father is a wealthy man. Getting to UNIOSUN, I met a girl, zenith.. I thought she was like other girls I had dated at home. I took her out for countless shopping, we visited the cinema countless times hoping she will fall for fine bobo. But this girl was so determined never to fall. Incase I did...

Questions you should ask him before saying yes to him.

The only thing that can keep guys awake in the night is when they have made a relationship proposal to a girl and she has left them hanging so she can go and think about it. Mostly, we know you girls are not thinking about anything. Your mind has been made up already. Asking us to wait is just your way of trying to test how strong our love is for you. But I feel it's time girls start asking their boyfriend to be critical questions before they venture into a relationship with them. Before you do it, think about it, think about him, ask him critical questions. Not just, are you sure you love me type of question. Here are five solid questions to help you to that effect and some intelligent answers you should expect from him. 1: What makes me special to you? NOT; why do you love me? HIM: Your head, your brain, the way you try to answer questions in class, your dreams, your focus, your determination. The way you speak. Your vocabulary, It's wow! That's why you're s...

How do people really fall in love with two people at the same time?

I had a friend once. Tall, huge, handsome, bright, top of his class. There was a girl in class he loved so much, first grade love. He would stay up all night watching her face, he protected her with everything he had. Then, there was another girl in the same class that loved him so much but she couldn't be with him because he was with another woman. She loved him so much, she could have sex with him in open market if that would make him hers. My friend asked me for advice and I gave him; the last thing a guy like him needed for his bright future was to be caught between two women that feels betrayed by him. A nuclear bomb! I told him to tell each woman how he felt about them and hopefully, everyone would go home happily. Now, that's just one story with a happy ending. My friend's. But it happens, people do fall in love with two people at the same time. Or so they claim. For me, I think it should never be that way. Nobody should be able to claim that they love two ...
