My abortion article and the hypocrites in my DM

 

You're allowed to be pro-life but can you stop hounding people to live their lives the way you want it? Respect second opinions, that's how to live. (Photo credit: Google)

I always knew I’d get funny comments and reactions to my post of yesterday. I was away with the clan yesterday and didn’t have time to do justice to some messages I received and, despite having something else in mind to talk about today, I’ll respond to three messages in particular.

Before I do, let me also make it clear that I got lots of support too. I am shocked at the number of people that agreed with me; I am sincerely not even looking for support, but it feels good to know that people are beginning to break away from archaic thinking, now let’s respond to those that still live in the dark ages.

Someone sent me a message, calling me an embarrassment to Christianity for supporting abortion. I am not angry, to be honest, I didn’t respond to the person because she’s one of those big aunties that think they have yea and amen opinions because they’re older than you are… Nonsense.

I know she will get to read this so here’s my response. If your young daughter gets raped by a hoodlum she doesn’t even know and gets pregnant, will you maintain the same energy and keep the pregnancy? I hope that doesn’t happen because the poor girl doesn’t deserve such a fate.

Oftentimes, people judge situations based on how convenient it is for them to advise others and not what they would do if they were in the same shoes. I’m not sure I wrote anywhere that people can become sexually reckless since abortion is legal, all I’m asking is for the system to give people choices.

You can’t force people to birth children they aren’t mentally ready to take care of. Someone responded with the following: “if you’re ready to have sex, you should be ready to face the consequences”, doesn’t this sound foolish to you? Is any of the protection options 100% effective? Just be capping nonsense.

It takes a whole lot to cater to a child and if someone thinks she’s not ready to go through that motherhood phase, can’t we just allow her to make her decision? If a lady realizes a guy she’s pregnant for isn’t someone she wants to continue with after discovering stuff, you want her to die put?

The last person asked why I’m encouraging murder LOL. It is not my place to judge anyone and I will not attempt to step into God’s shoes. I stand with my take on this; allow people to make their choices and the consequences thereof. It is not your business and you shouldn’t have opinions on such, let people be.

Pro-choice people don’t bother about pro-life people, but you see the pro-lifers like someone calls them, they’re the ones that think God appointed them as the judge of other people’s cases. Many of them are hypocrites though and it’s not like we don’t know their story but we will face front to fight another day.

    Sometimes it’s better to just abort to avoid greater evil.

17th May, 2023 - My darkest hours

Image
One year after her passing, nothing has changed, I still feel pains and, I still have a lot of unanswered questions but, Valar Morghulis - All men must die. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) Yea, it's been one year already, and nothing has changed. I still feel as much pain as I did exactly one year ago, when the darkest of clouds usurped me. When the earth received my mother's body, it still hurts. I’ve tried many times to do this, but it is what it is. What a year it has been. There was no inkling before it happened, so there is no benchmark. However, it’s a different kind of pain, one I don’t wish on anyone. The 17th of May 2023 will forever remain where it is; hopefully, it remains the darkest ever until my dying day. The mood was obvious; Deepsea could tell in the car. Joy sent me a text message to lift my spirits, but calls from Ibadan informed me that my mom was on her way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t her usual attention-seeking dr...

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed...

Panda's wife and the memories of Tinubu Road

Image
  Happy birthday beautiful and uber-smart Toyin Adepegba, my good friend from Tinubu Road. (Photo credit: Toyin's WhatsApp status) Toyin Adepegba is 40 today, today is also my parents’ wedding anniversary and it evokes some nostalgia from way back. I remember how they celebrated one particular year, that shit made me start thinking of getting married at just 10… Look at me now LOL. This post is about Toyin, a great human by all standards. She was my first friend at Brand Regimen, she knows her job and has this drive that won’t let her settle for anything below her standards. Let me share a few things I copped from here during our days as colleagues. Toyin was the Business Development Manager at BR and later had to fill in when there was a gap on one of the Account Management Team, one measure of her success in that role as far as I saw was how good Joy became as her protégé, that counts for a lot. While I was the lead on decks and strategy plans, Toyin offered solid outlets o...
