If you don't use your head, people will use if for you

The world has really turned upside down. The way things are moving makes me think of how far most of us have gone astray. And believe me, most of these things that's happening is as a result of those we trust and believe in. Social group has been the uttermost factor dictating our lives, and how we live. School, churches, mosques, Businesses, family, circle of friends,clubs, associations, and the places we often visit has impacts on our lives

You know, when you have a block head that can't think on its own, someone else would think for you. When I was in school, my friends would bring up ideas, and before you know it, it has been executed. There was a day they told me to speak Hausa language to a mallam selling sugar cane, that he would give us one long stick. Stupidly, I spoke the words to him, and there was an eruption. He shouted "Wanna", yamutu" "kei", removed his sharp knife and descended on me. I ran like a flash, and he followed with the intention of stabbing me, but amidst my stupidity, and folly, one thing I was good at was sprinting. When he realized he couldn't match my speed, he gave up. Looking back, my friends had already done justice to his sugar cane. Before he got back to his wheel barrow, they escaped through the jungle doing away with long sticks of sugar cane. I was used as a bait. Later, I realized what I told the guy was "Your father's manhood is as tiny as a strand of spaghetti. I was very ignorant of it. "My people perish because of lack of knowledge". If he had gotten a hold of me that day, I'm pretty sure he would draw the map of Nigeria/Africa with his knife on my body, or probably stab me seriously. Let's always find out what we don't know before putting it into action

There are many fake pastors around in this era, especially in a country like Nigeria. In a situation where economic exigencies have become the order of the day, one of the easiest ways of making quick money is posing as a pastor. As intelligent as we are, I don't understand where we get our mentality from when it comes to being easily deceived by fake pastors with false pronouncements

When I was in a local church, where the members were not up to 25 (you know that kind of setting). We would drop our offerings, and at the end of the service, the pastor would buy okro, fish, garri, red oil, maggi, and the rest and prepare himself a meal. The most painful part was that he wouldn't give me from the garri and okro soup knowing fully well that I was a very broke niggal who out of poor living gave my last card as an offering. What kind of pastor is that

There was a day he said I must speak in tongue by force. He poured vegetable oil on my head and began to shout oya, speak. Oya spea......k. "I was confused". Instead of being under anointing, I was under vegetable oil, and all I got from it was annoyance. Some people started saying rubbish, because they were compelled to speak in tongue. At some point, I couldn't hold myself, but bursted and laughed. How can I be hearing something like "lalakukulala Yokozuna Nakamoto" in tongue speaking, and won't be blown away into the LOL arena. Still after the service, he bought okro and prepared it as usual without looking at my side. We were neighbors. That shows how daft I was. See if you don't use your head, someone else will use it for you. No one told me to stop attending church before I expelled myself. Please, there are false teachers around. Make it your responsibility to sieve every words and know the right teachers to listen to. It's the only way to get things right before we are washed away by their sweet words
