YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID THE TRUTH By Tobe Eze

 YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID THE TRUTH 

I was having good time with my friends and a message came to my phone through WhatsApp because, my data was on. The message goes like this. 

Brother Good afternoon. Please brother, I need your help, you are the only one that can save me now. I told my mother that I was going to Enugu-Ezike to visit a classmate there. She accepted and gave me her car.

E DON HAPPEN AGAIN. By Tobe Eze

E DON HAPPEN AGAIN 

Very deep in my siesta, I heard the vibration of my phone. With eyes half opened, I collected the phone from the desk where I kept it. Oh my God, this girl and her trouble. It was my niece. I picked and she just shouted over the phone. Brother! Brother! E don happen! I managed to ask her what has happened? She told me, “do you know that our landlord’s son that you normally stay with when you come around? From my bed I jumped up because it was just few days after my own relation was buried and it was the same hour that I got the news of his death on the day he died. I shouted, what happened? Waiting to hear the worst news again and she just said I should calm down that there is nothing much. Continue Reading..... 

The Reply of Abuguja Hillary Chekwube on the Article. On the Death of Ejike Eze

 Death is a reality and nobody understands it more than a dead person. *IThink* 

The mystery of death is demystified only by the deceased.

Marriage has neither advantage or disadvantage over death but you've to understand a people from their culture. Some cultural thoughts need to be seriously looked into. Marriage in Igbo tradition isn't something that they joke with  but more importantly igbo value child bearing. That's why we've names like Nwanenyeanuri, obiechina etc. 

Marriage is a sacrament that was instituted by Christ himself and it should be encouraged.However, there's no particular age for marriage. One goes into marriage whenever he or she thinks that one is ready.

For those asking you about the statutory status of the deceased. Their intentions could be categorised into 2 ; (1) if he's married , what will happen to his family (2) if he's not married, his lineage has ended.

Death gives no information before taking one. 

May we continue to pray for the happy repose of Ejike and may we also accept the fact that our own date can be anytime. 

*Memento mori*

 On the Death of Ejike Eze 

Ejike died at 37

Nwanne m lawanuo. Chineke nna kporo gi o. Nwanne m jee zuru ike n' ogu ebiela.

As an African, I have been very much aware of this ideology but I saw it most now that I am mourning Ejike Eze. Some after consoling me will ask me if he was married and I will answer innocently “No” as it should be and I got three comments that made me to write this. 

One person said, he was late already for not marrying till now. 

The other said, Chai, he should have married before now. And the last person said, 

Why has he not married, at least…… Continue Reading....... 

WE CAN STILL CHANGE IT. By Tobe Eze

 WE CAN STILL CHANGE IT.

The rate by which young men and women become useless these days is quite alarming. We all cross our hands waiting for the government to provide us with opportunities to make it in life but they are seriously failing us. Regular joke in the social media will always say “education is the key but the problem is that after studying, we will notice that government has changed the padlock”. We are living in a country that the youth are not cared for. Shall we continue to wait for them? For me the answer is “No”. We can still do something. Continue Reading.......... 

NO GAIN. By Tobe Eze

What do people gain in letting others suffer what they themselves suffered and did not like the experience? Let me start this with a short story.

A certain man from a certain place once went to a particular native doctor to get charm for protection. Continue Reading........

BEHIND THE CURTAIN By Tobe Eze

BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

Sometimes, rushing things without inquiries create numerous problems for us. We can see things just ordinarily from our limited physical view without waiting to see if we can see a light or fire at the end of the tunnel. Taking two families as examples to this, we will get the point at home.

A family had a beautiful daughter that attracted many men, boys young and old, rich and poor and so on. The girl and the father kept on analyzing men who were coming to seek for her hand in marriage based on these questions. What type of car does he drive? How many buildings does he have? What is the name of the city he lives? These were what they were interested on. Continue Reading................

Why too much Rape? By Tobe Eze

Why too much Rape?
Introduction

When one obverses closely what is happing now in our society, one may ask series of questions on this trending evil. Cases of rape is increasing every day in the society. What and what are the cause of this growth of evil in our society? If we blame ladies who are being raped, what of children who are being raped, shall we blame them too? If we blame men who rape both ladies and children, shall we also leave ladies that do go around almost naked? We are aware that they said, blood is thicker than water. If we blame boys that rape people they do not know, what do we have to say about fathers raping their children or siblings? All these are creating serious society disorder and they are calling for attention of many. Spiritual attention is needed, psychological attention, mental attention, moral attention, social attention, economic attention and so on. I will briefly highlight few things that may lead to rape and how we can avoid some of them in this write up for this is no longer a joking matter. Continue Reading........

Nnam! Si mu dalu (Father! Tell me weldon) By Tobe Eze

Nnam! Si mu dalu (Father! Tell me weldon)

There are things we do sometimes consciously or unconsciously and they spoil things. These things are things that are very infinitesimal but when we do them, they amount to a very big problem. They kill the good spirit of work in people, they demoralize, they weigh people down, they even make people to be wicked, they also make some lazy, they can as well make people to be dubious and many other bad effects of it. We often quote Cicero, “Gratitude is the least of all virtues but when neglected, it becomes the greatest vice”, but to put it into practice is very difficult for us. The word “Weldon” can help to solve a very big problem that will follow it when neglected. Continue Reading..........

CATHOLIC YOUTH, SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUR MORAL VALUES, CROSSING THE Ts AND DOTING THE Is. By Tobe Eze

CATHOLIC YOUTH, SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUR MORAL VALUES, CROSSING THE Ts AND DOTING THE Is.

INTRODUCTION
Our topic of discussion today is broad one that encompasses many things. Firstly it has catholic youths as its first target and their actions towards morality. Social media is blown very well in the topic because of its effect on the youth especially on attacking their level of morality. That social media is blown in the topic does not mean that it does the whole thing but rather, it does more. I will eventually touch other aspects or things that drag our morality to the dust. I tried to narrow this down in just the below definitions and ways by which our morality as youths can be degenerated and possible solutions to this new era disease. Continue Reading..........

CAN WE SAY HE IS BEHIND CORONA VIRUS? By Tobe Eze

CAN WE SAY HE IS BEHIND CORONA VIRUS?

Introduction
Since the outbreak of this virus that is ravaging the world today, many things have happened and many news are flying both true and false news. Many have asked so many questions that are seriously looking for answers and some of them have not gotten the answers they are looking for.
Many have been reflecting on this situation and I decided to join the queue, for I can see the necessity. I have to reflect on some of what people are suspecting about this corona virus, the time it struck hard and our supposed responses to it as Christians and human beings. I may not write what might have never existed but I will make it exist in my own terms. Continue Reading........

COVID-19 AND 5G NETWORKS: A REPROACH TO THE CONSPIRACY THEORY BY: BRENDAN AMADI

COVID-19 AND 5G NETWORKS: A REPROACH TO THE CONSPIRACY THEORY
BY: BRENDAN AMADI

INTRODUCTORY REMARK
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Common symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Other symptoms may include fatigue, muscle pain, diarrhea, sore throat, loss of smell and abdominal pain. While the majority of cases result in mild symptoms, some progress to viral pneumonia and multi-organ failure. As of 6 April 2020, more than 1,280,000 cases of have been reported in more than 200 countries and territories, resulting in more than 70,500 deaths. More than 270,000 people have recovered.

A RESPONSE TO THE EFFECTS OF EARLY MARRIAGE By Tobe Eze

A RESPONSE TO THE EFFECTS OF EARLY MARRIAGE

In this world, anything that has advantage, there are still many disadvantages that follow it and we cannot discard it entirely because of the disadvantage forgetting the advantages of it. I thank my brother for recognizing at all that early marriage has some advantages but he emphasized the disadvantages more as if nothing good can come out of it.
Following your points, that someone is young does not mean that that person cannot take care of a family. The skill of a good home does not depend on the age but the maturity of the individuals involved. The home training of a person can make one to be knowledgeable more than an old person. If you invite our dialectical adage, it can tell you more, “Onye ije ka onye isi awo akiko”, which means, someone who has traveled a lot have more stories than an old person who has not traveled. There is a clear difference between growing up and growing old.
Your second point again has flaws. What type of youthful experience do you mean? For the fact that you are married does not remove the youngness in you. There are many who are very much capable to take care of twenty families at their youthful age and at that age you think they will be due to marry, they may not be able to take care of a half family. For the fact that they study does not make the marriage wrong for even those we feel they are now matured to marry are still struggling to study. Age does not bring understanding but maturity. Someone may be 50 years without having any understanding spirit while someone of 20 years will have that in full.
If you say that getting married forces one to lack in finance, what of those who made it early? There are some who are very young and rich and they can take care of many families. There are some women who bring open door for people. I have many existential examples of those who marry and their wives made them to become somebody in the society. For the fact that marriage needs money to maintain does not mean that marriage depends on money.
In conclusion, being married at the early age can bring disadvantages likewise marrying late can also do. We should not stress the other side of it forgetting that there are also good sides.
My brother, you would have made your point clearer if you used probabilistic words or statement than saying it capitally that early marriage is not good. Thanks.

My Reflective thought on Masturbation* By Brendan Amadi

*My Reflective thought on  Masturbation* By Brendan Amadi

Masturbation is unhealthy and is a mayhem to one's sexuality. In my own perspective it falls under the conspiracy theory of Human sexuality because it is falsified and it is a faked sex. It is  psychologically harmful or pathological and it is highly correlated with
psychological projection , paranoia and
Machiavellianism. It is good you cut it off if you involve in it because it is an evil and a bad habit that trends and can easily get to a chronic level. At this stage one becomes a chronic masturbator and it is not nice for human growth and development and humanity. Is not just a sin against God but a sin against the self and humanity. A critical study on *Sigmund Freud's Personality development* where he explored on three main thesis Psycho- Sexual development, psycho Therapy and Psycho- Analysis...In his Psycho sexual development & Analysis there is a practice  I emphasized on, called *Energy channelling* .... In this aspect, I try to draw some points with people who gain pleasure watching pornography, Continue Reading.............

THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM By NONSO AMADI

    THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM
By NONSO AMADI

The Author 

Introductory Remark
There is no generally agreed definition of terrorism. The Terrorism Act 2000 defines it as the use or threat of action involving serious violence, damage or danger to life and health…in order to influence government or intimidate the public in a political, religious or ideological cause. The aphorism that “one person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter” relates more to the justification or exculpation of particular campaigns than to the character of the phenomenon itself. It does however signal that the political dimension of terrorism makes it impossible to assimilate it totally either to war or to crime (with both of which it has considerable affinities). This has implications for the means used to combat it. Continue Reading........

On the Second Thought By Tobe Eze

ON THE SECOND THOUGHT.

Many of us have been in one way or the other fell victims of second thought either in the positive direction or in the negative direction. The manifestation of second thought affirms the philosophical assertion that “man is a rational being”. It shows that we do not strictly act with instinct like animals rather we act with reason. Taking a particular portion in the bible as a case study and afterwards, bringing it down to our own ways of life, I will try to explain the idea of “second thought”. Continue Reading.................
