A Joke
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I am very sure you will laugh you if you could just try and take little of your valuable time to read this joke. In the meanwhile, please note that this joke is not just met to amuse anyone but to call everyone to consciousness once again, since it seems we forget so soon the most important message.

I received this joke from a friend on facebook. Since then, I have been making all efforts to share it with everyone, especially my love ones: “YOU” being first on the list, then my siblings and family, colleagues and forms of love ones as I am limited to mention now. I also believe that you will do the same by sharing this joke with your love ones too, with a view of cautioning and sensitize them to dangers in carefree and casual sex.

It goes thus:

“A pretty girl went to church, to make a confession to a priest, and the man asked her what the matter is? She then said my boyfriend did something bad to me. The pastor now kissed her and asked did he do this to you? she said no. He hugged her and said did he do this to you? She said no. He now pulled off her cloth and said did he do this to you. She said no. He now made love to her and said did he do this to you? She said no. Then he now asked what is the thing he did that is making you to be crying? Then the girl said he gave me AIDS! The priest then fainted.”

LAUGHING? ....ho-ho-ho! Just like me, I could not help myself laughing when I read it too. Let’s accept that the Priest used in the joke was just a case study as it could be anyone. But come to think of it, don’t you think it would be very fatal if we fail to realize the dangers in being fond of taking advantage of others, most especially opposite sex; engaging them in “just like that sexual activities” or whatever name you call it? In spite of all the calls echoing everywhere on earth “HIV IS REAL! ”; and pleading voices that never halt “PLAY SAVE AND STOP HIV”. Anyway, just in case we have forgot to remind ourselves and love ones that HIV is real, This is another to call reminding us to please save the world by saving ourselves first.

Nevertheless, I had wondered severe times without a direct answer to each rhetorical question I asked myself. In fact, it pricks my heart beyond anyone can imagine each time I ask, even to this present time of posting this joke. I had asked why anyone at any point in life should think that having HIV is the end of the world just like the Priest that fainted in the joke. Phew! It is not. People with HIV live a normal live and do great exploit in the world. So, i urge everyone to stop stigmatizing !

Please, pray this prayer, Oh God My Father, I need u, come into my heart and teach me the ways to go always. Amen

WHAT IS YOUR SAY ABOUT THIS?
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I was at Poetry Potter organised by Kowry Creation Media in Lagos last weekend(Saturday) to refresh myself by seeing old and new poets performing on the stage in the house, when one of the performing poets asked a question which i felt at first was not going to earn him a good start anyway. But believe me, the simple question threw the entire house into a silent moment of reasoning and finally left the entire house in unconcluded bidding for answers.

He simply asked , "What is the world most used word?"

Then, the bidding began:Some argued it' s " I " while another set of people concluded on " you ". But almost two-third of the entire house settled for " Love ". Could that be true?

Well, i know we all talk about love everyday of our lives through our services (writing, singing, painting, dancing etc.) but that has not justified that Love is the world most used word.

So, what is your say about this question?
