MAKE I SHAKE THE TABLE SMALL. By Tobe Eze

 MAKE I SHAKE THE TABLE SMALL

In so many Nollywood movies, we do see how poor wretched boys fall in love with rich beautiful girls and they will end up marrying themselves despite the odds they will suffer. Also we see beautiful poor girls and they will fall in love with poor boys and agree to work for better future. Some novels before go by names like “The Rich Girl and the Poor Boy”, “The Servant Boy and the Princess”. In some movies, you see some using flute, ball, farm work and so on to get rich girls and at last they will marry each other.

Again, we, see beautiful girls and even rich girls falling in love with disabled boys, we are always happy seeing that. I for one enjoy that type of film like mad. I always watch them for I see hope for the hopeless in them. Continue Reading..........

My problem these days is that I have come to understand that those things end in movies. They are no longer real if they were real before now. Anya ụmụ nwanyị jị afụ ego kita dịzị egwu. They are no longer interested in the qualities of the person but kedu ihe oji. Ụmụ nwanyị are now interested in only the rich and leaving the poor boys to their fate, odiro mma. If you approach any girl now, worst still beautiful or rich, you will be put in a weighing balance and be checked very well before answers will be given. You have to submit your CV first and wait for invitation for interview. I am not in anyway negating the fact that one should look for a place where her life will be secured, I am only against the excessive ways it is done these days.

It is very wonderful for a man to have a roof over his head before marriage but that does not guarantee a happy home. The roof may protect rain and sun but cannot protect internal heat from the family. It is good for a man to have a strong source of income before marriage but that is not a sure bet that it will not tire tomorrow. It is good to have a car or cars before marriage but that does not mean that you would not use legs tomorrow. That he is living abroad does not negate the fact of imprisonment or deportation.

Who no like better thing? Tobe Eze likes better thing. But as you are pursuing better thing, also pursue better person for marriage is a life time project and you will live more with person and not things. As you dey pursue better thing, remember na better place pass better thing. As you are seriously looking for who has better things you will enjoy, is it a crime if the better thing comes from you? What effort are you making to get your own better thing? Remember some better things you dey see need maintain, are you ready to maintain them or just to go and chop better things?

Better poor man is better than a better thing with a ritualist. A better disabled is better than a better thing with a sadists. Better six spring foam better pass mansion without night sleep. Better motorcycle and better poor man pass better GLK without rest of mind in the family. Better sincere poor man is better than Lexus with a cheat.

Peace of mind is best that will happen to you in marriage. Happiness in a marriage is the best gift from God. Freedom in a marriage in a small house is better than prison mansion. Trust in a poor home is better than a duplex that has human CCTV cameras always.

In all Nwoke, jee chuba ego. Don’t bring a daughter of Eve to suffer in your house. Me I also like money oooo. But I value my happiness, love, care, joy, freedom, rest of mind more than money.

I just broke one leg of the table, please another person can help me and break another one or call a carpenter to repair the one I have broken.

I have found the table for the boys, I go soon piece that one. Happy Weekend.
