Birthday Thank You

Image
Hello MEB readers, I know it's like two days after my birthday but still basking in the birthday glow. It has been a really fun weekend and it is not yet over *wink*. Just want to use this medium to say a big, fat, huge thank you to all my friends and family on Facebook, instagram all the medias who took out time to text, call and wish my twin and I well. May God bless you all and celebrate you at every stage life. I felt really special. Still feeling it sef.  Some years back, I used to think well It's just a birth day. But in recent times, I realized that it is not just the day two princesses were born but the day God brought two princesses who would grow into beautiful, influencial Queens. Then it struck, that every year we celebrate, we should realise that God has graciously led us into a new year, new phase of life out of love for us and that we still have a chance to fulfill his Purpose and our purpose and passion in this life.  This past year, I learnt a c...

Genotype and Marriage

Image
Hello MEB readers, a very happy Sunday to everyone. Hope you are having a restful evening. Now this genotype issue has been in my thoughts. (I know you think it's about me. Nah not at all,  I just have roaming thoughts a lot and often wonder what others think about certain societal issues) I think every time I write, people raise eyebrows in my corner. *smiles* Now medically it is adviceable that an AS carrier should not marry another AS carrier for the fear of producing an SS (sickle cell anemia)  child.  It is said that the couple has 25% probability of having an SS child or children. I.e for every 4 children they have atleast one will be SS. Which is not absolute because the 25% can show up on all the offsprings.  Over the years, there has been different suggested solutions from medical professionals. There is the artificial insemination (IVF And PGD Pre-Implantation Genotype Diagnosis) where the embryo is screened and those free of SS genotype will b...

Expression of Love - Vals Day Edition

Image
Happy Vals day MEB readers. It's the "season of Love" according to world calendar. But I personally think everyday should be a day to express Love for Lovers, the less privileged and each other hence fulfilling the verse "Love your neighbor as yourself" (old testament) and better still "a new covenant I give to you, that you love one another even as Christ love the church" (new testament). I have being thinking about the different expressions of Love. How Lovers (people in a romantic Relationship whether as married, engaged, dating couple) express love. I know there has been books written on the different love languages which are gifts, services(offering to help out), words of affirmations, physical touch and what's the last one? And I see a common factor. "doing", "action". The lovely boy band (Westlife) of the early 2000 sang "saying I love you, is not the words I want to hear from you. It's not that I ...

Make Smarter Business Choices In 2017

Image
Hi Everyone, it is the 2nd day in the 2nd month (February) of 2017. So yes there is still time to plan your 2017 financially, hence my revised edition of SWISSGOLDEN business to you.  Swissgolden is a Switzerland based network marketing business that deals with GOLD (we all know the ever rising value of gold). Just like most network marketing business, it functions by pyramid. For instance,when you register with about 140,000naira, you will have to register two people who will in turn Register two people each and so on (you will need 5levels of this) to eventually earn 1million and grow level by level.  Now lots of people have complaints about this. Some say the investment of 140,000 is too high, others say "even if I had such money, where will I get two friends with such amount of money willing to invest?". Because we understand,  we have devised a means to help. First, you won't need to pay all the capital, just half which is 70,000,Naira. Second, you w...

Dates And Bills

Image
This conversation has been ongoing for days somewhere on instagram and am pretty fascinated. Males and females have been on each other's throat.  The men first started calling Nigerian women out for always wanting and taking from men and never contributing to dates. They have on many occasions called Nigerian women desperate, gluttons and covetous as they only want men to spend on them/pay all their bills, emphasis was laid on dates. They say women never pay on dates. The women also spoke up and defended themselves as some blatantly see nothing wrong with the guy to pay on dates and taking care of their lady's bills while other gave instances where they had taken care of everything and still the men cheated or was violent towards them and still left. They also argued that why will a guy ask to take them out and insist they pay. I got interested in the date talk because well am single *wink* plus it really fascinating to watch the back and forth and as usual I have op...

HAPPY 2017

Image
A very happy new year MEB readers (Miss Eby Blog readers). Yes I know, I know but it is still January *tongue out*. I haven't written to you this year so it's still a new year on this blog. How are you and hope your year started off awesome?. Well mine did.  I see every new year as a gift from God for a fresh start. I love how we do it in my family, we all seat around the sitting room and count our blessings and achievements for the previous year one after the other (I hope to imbibe this in my future nuclear family) and then we give thanks, sing praises, list out our hopes and expectations for the new year, pray and ask God for grace, strength, direction, divine favour to accomplish them. It is usually very fun and intimate.  Last year was great actually despite the whole "recession" season. This year I know is going to be awesome. Even with the recession, we are going to soar higher and higher. With obedience, great faith, focus and perceiverance, we w...

The Buharis, Female Gender And The Hypocrisy of Nigerians

Image
I woke up this morning with the radio loud in my ears, "she belongs to my kitchen, the living room and the other room" and am like "ohhhh am tired of this, please can we move on to something else please?". This is becoming annoying as there are heavier matters like the economy.  Although I can't deny there are positives to the Buharis Saga. Suddenly my people (Nigerian Men and Africans) realised that women are not just sexual objects and their maids. It took President Buhari for that to sink in, wow that's impressive. It is the HYPOCRISY that beats me. Same male gender who says "this is Nigeria, this is Africa and not the western world, my wife must cook alakat for me, my wife must not work, she will stay at home, she should look for a handwork, open shop, go and teacher, etcetera" (so that she can be at their berk and call). Same ones. Please note no disrespect to the women concerned with the above chosen field of life, but  if you are a m...
