Happy New Year! Yea, I know, its February….better late than
never. I am sorry I have been off this space for about 5 months, a lot kept me
away and I cannot apologize enough for not posting anything all this while.
Sometimes, when we wish for things, we don’t fully comprehend what they can do
to us, but I’m happy to say Omoregee is back! Faithfuls, I thank you and I
wanna to let you know the Flow Bearer will be bringing to you the Flows from
the Fountain more often now.
This is for my fellas :)
Act 1: Guy
meets gal, Guy likes Gal and approaches her for a relationship. Gal gets to
know Guy, starts too really like him and has more or less fallen for him. Guy
reaches that point where he is supposed to commit but for some reasons (and
trust, they were a whole lot of them) he be holding back. Gal is patient and
doing the right things to be sure she is not the one holding him back from commitment.
Then some lady asks Gal if it’s ok for her sister to date Guy seeing he’s asked
her out and she noticed Gal and Guy are ‘good friends’?
Act 2: Babe
be chilling on her own, doing her own thing, minding her business when Dude
comes along and is acting like he all love struck. Babe finally decides to
notice him and actually starts to like him. They getting along fine, Dude can’t
stop talking about how great Babe is and how she fits his ideal woman picture and
also about how he can’t ask her out just yet because he needs time to sort himself
out. Babe is like fine, do what you gotta do, sort yourself out, then Babe
finds out Dude actually already got himself sorted out……..with someone else…….
Act 3: Bobo
is hot on Sisi’s chase, and is bent on catching her, been on it for awhile
actually…..he does catch her and they got a good thing going on. All of a
sudden, Bobo is forming busy and Sisi is trying to be understanding but how do
you understand after 4 years of being together, Bobo says you are not
compatible? Especially when there’s someone else in the equation?
Act 4: Lad
and Lass are feeling each other alright; the feeling is mutual and something
seems in the works. Lad is saying all the right things, doing all the right
things and Lass gradually lets her resistance go day by day but just at about
the time when Lass asks for a real commitment, Lad suddenly don’t speako no
English……..he dumb all of a sudden and can’t comprehend what she is asking for.
Act 5: Missy
and Max have been in a relationship for 3 years, but in the past 3 months,
Missy has seen little of Max and has been worried, but she is also preparing
for her final exam which puts a lot of pressure on her. Then she gets a call
few weeks to exam, someone telling her Max would be getting married the next
Saturday and she wasn’t the bride. Of course, she had a resit.
Ok, no, not a figment of my imagination; they are real and
actually happened! Christian folks y’all! It’s a trend I have observed
nowadays, playas in the church! I know we have a mixture of different people in
the congregation, its God’s house and all His children are welcome but I
thought a real Christian brother was supposed to bend it like Christ?
You see these brothers are subtle, they come with seemingly
good intentions, and I want to believe they are so, but in the end, they turn
out to be users and a deceitful lot. I don’t want to believe they set out to
toil with a woman’s emotions and feelings; I don’t want to believe they start
out to be this way, but somewhere along the line, this is who they are……when
they do what they do. When it’s all said and done, the intentions don’t matter,
what matters is what has been done. Brother, get it together!
I understand about a man taking his time to count the cost
before he makes a commitment. I understand about a man taking out time to study
his prospect to see if she is right for him, what I don’t understand though is
how a man can be pursuing 2/3 women at the same time? Am I way out of my cocoon’s
nest to think it is wrong to do this? You see this ain’t like shopping for a
house or school, there are options alright but the consideration should be done
BEFORE pursuing that option, for once you are in pursuit of your prospect and
you also pursue other options at the same time, you come across as confused. A
male friend once said to me, ‘if a guy can be singular in his pursuit of a
woman, he is most likely to get her’ I wondered about this and the supporting
ideology. I asked him to explain and he said, ‘there is a way a guy comes
across when his eyes are on one prize. You can see the seriousness and
sincerity in him, he gives it his all because he intends to win’. Ladies are
very emotional beings and the guys know this, if you are not sure about an
option, it happens, take time out to properly consider but try not to get
involved emotionally until you have clarity because things are not pretty when
emotions and expectations are messed up. God is good brother, but you will reap
what you sow, Watch it!
And why oh why is it difficult to pay the prize when you
been all up in the product? You have been enjoying the relationship but when it’s
time to commit, you turn around and run. If a man has no intention to go all
the way, I believe he has no business coming close, really. Emotions and
feelings as fleeting as they may be should not be toiled with; the effects can
be very astounding. It’s different when along the way, you find out things you can’t
cope with or issues that present incompatibility. No biggie, do the right and
honourable thing, have a conversation, dust up and keep it moving but when you
want to enjoy the goods without paying the prize, that’s just wrong. Yes, I
know there are some ladies who give it up and make it so easy, but dear Christian
Brother, should that bring out the playa in you? What would Jesus do?
Ladies, I know we are emotionally susceptible to attention
and some sweet words, we like to hear how we rock his world and how we are
wonderful, amazing and any man would be lucky to have us, but it’s about time
we stop listening and start watching. Watch his actions; do they rhyme with his
talk? Watch what he isn’t saying, don’t ignore that inner voice to check that
stuff you noticed, the inner voice is usually right. There’s no justifying what
a playa does but the truth actually is if he has no one to play with, there ain’t
gonna be anyone getting played. Stop letting it go the minute a brother smiles
at you, smile back and keep it moving, if he wants you, let him chase you and
while he is chasing, be sure he gat what it takes to buy before you sell out,
no point crying over spilt milk. We can keep our emotions in check till we are
sure it is for real. We have a lot to protect, our self esteem, our dignity,
our hearts- the essence of our beings, our future, our destiny and if some
brothers don’t recognize the importance of these things, we owe it to ourselves
to teach ‘em and let them know that a woman is a treasure not to be toiled
with.
Mo’
