Why does it hurt so bad?

When Whitney Houston did this song, she was heartbroken by a guy. Oh! the pain of a heartbreak caused by disappointments coming from people you hold dear. Backstabbers, cheaters, betrayers, it really hurts to have someone who knows a great deal about you turn around and use those information against you.
I can tell, the extent of the pain and anguish it brings, because I've been there.
But it hurts so much more when such people turn around again and want to be your friends pretending that nothing ever went wrong.
That's the case with a general, who is yearning, did I just use yearning? Gathering momentum to come back and rule Nigeria, brandishing his gap toothed smile and the same charm with which he stole our hearts way back.
I think a backstabber once he's been discovered should just keep his distance, because even if he has turned a new leaf, one still sees him as what he was before while the scales shielded the truth from one's eyes. Any show of friendship is quickly transmitted to one's senses as the piper playing the tune that would lead the chicken into the boiling pot of stew.
What we don't need now are people who set us back by years and time when they had the opportunity to move us forward, we don't need people who have trained their children at the expense of the education of so many others, people who built their empires at the expense of our living in detestable conditions, who flew all over the world, saw the goodies there are out there and still chose to leave us in the dark, who acquired so much power with which they trample us under feet.
No! I say we don't need people who have become insensitive to our plights, we need people who are people minded, who feel what we feel and who understand it when we say that we need light, not those who have other sources of electricity and therefore don't understand what NEPA or PHCN stand for because they don't use them anyway, the knowledge they have of these agencies is that they are other forms of income to them, and of course they won't hesitate to siphon what else remains of the resources meant to restore them.
Oh God don't let the evil one have his way in this country, not again or else we would be drowned in the abyss beyond redemption.
Today, young Nigerians have once again hit the streets on an "enough is enough" rally in a bid to call to question all these injustices and more and see that we don't go down this road a second time.
We've been through this path once and from the little I know of cliches its only a good turn that deserves another.
Should one bad turn be given another?

Tears of love?

Why is it that most foreign guys must go down on one knee and have tears in their eyes as they propose to their babes. I've been wondering, and the thing that pains me the most is that most of our guys here dont even ask why, they just copy.
And we are so used to copying everything that the babes too have resorted to copying those, "Oh my God", false tears of the Hollywood babes.
Don't mind me and my pako moves its okay to do all that, but I think at the back of the young man's mind is, God I'm begging you don't let this one say no too. Oh you thought he was kneeling to you? then you got another think coming. He's praying to God that he wont be rejected, because thick skinned as anyone can claim to be, deep down in our hearts is always the fear of rejection, because it deals a terrible blow to our self esteem.
The tears in his eyes say, "Oh, I'm finally losing my freedom, my boys and all the other babes it could have been". "Oh, well..." he consoles himself and goes, "...please be my wife".
And poor unsuspecting you go, "yes, yes, yes"
Well it may not be the case with every other guy, but if you critically check some of our guys, you will know they are the ones we are talking about here.
God help us ladies! Really!
