What to do to avoid being the Father of a useless son

INTRODUCTION 
I have watched with pains as very successful parents unknowingly set their sons on the path of uselessness. Many aging parents realize too late the impact of their indiscretion when faced with the result of the formation of their heirs apparent. It is an excruciating experience that must be avoided by those who can.

Do you really need to bring home a cobra in the name of kindness?

Obioma was once told by his mother that “kindness would kill you one day” but he didn’t understand. He felt that his mum was detracting him from doing good. Kind of “get behind me you Satan!”.

Obioma felt that his mother was being an obstacle to his avowed virtue of kindness and generosity. And he trudged on.

An Igbo Lady Desiring To Be A Single Parent Or Baby Mama Should Please Read This Before The Venture!



By Anayo M. Nwosu
Until the turn of the 19th century when westernization made a lot of sin out of pregnancy without marriage, the core Igbo communities had made provision for this inevitable occurrence. A pregnant girl and children born out of wedlock served useful purposes.
Even though pre-marital sex was not tolerated in the early days in Igbo land, no girl was killed for getting pregnant without being married.

STOP TRAVELING TOGETHER WITH FAMILY MEMBERS IN ONE VEHICLE OR AIRCRAFT




By Anayo M. Nwosu



I cry each time I read that a whole family is wiped off
either in a road accident or plane crash.
I end up blaming the decision maker of that trip.
It is nothing but a suicide mission.
Igbos pray against this occurrence in a popular name
"Amaechina" meaning "may my family or generation not
be wiped out".

WHY YOUR CHILDREN WILL CONTINUE TO MARRY OUTSIDE YOUR TRIBE.



By Anayo Nwosu


"Dr. Ibe Ifedigbo summoned his four daughters one fateful Sunday afternoon for an emergency meeting. His wife was also in attendance. He was troubled.
"I came to Lagos to eke out a living not to lose my daughters to strangers", he murmured to himself before his daughters converged in the living room.
He had been ruminating on how best to effectively pass on his message to his lovely daughters without appearing discriminatory or as an ethnic bigot.
He shouldn't be seen as a tribalist because he was also a pastor in a pentecostal church in Surulere. His congregation was multi-ethnic and he had always preached equal love to Jews and Gentiles alike but not in traditional matters.

WHY NO IGBO PERSON WOULD EVER BE A SUICIDE BOMBER - Anayo Nwosu

Anayo Nwosu


"A natural Igbo man is a born rebel even to his own God. The stubbornness of the Igbos to their various deities and to even the christian God is very legendary if not more defiant than that of any other race I know.
Igbo's continuous worship of a deity or a supernatural force is chiefly based on the deity's performance and not entirely out of fear.
Therefore, it's a common saying in Igbo land that "Arusi nyebe nsogbo egosi ya osisi ejiri pia ya" meaning that "if a deity becomes unreasonable, it will be told the wood from which its symbol was carved".
