Message to Christian Girls, Stop Having A Type…
We all have our physical types. However, for the Christian woman actively dating (or at least scoping the market), having a type cripples her success with men. To explain to a readership who knows very little about me, I like chocolate men. I like my men the colour of a Twix bar minus the caramel.…

Christians Are Getting Married Younger Because They Can’t Wait For Sex.
This isn’t a sermon. The statement formed part of the conversation that I recently had with a non-believer. She asked for my opinion on pre-marital sex and when I offered it, the conversation then moved to the sexuality of millennial Christians, young marriages and our sexual urges. She wanted my opinion on Christians getting married…

8 Women You Shouldn’t Date (According to Men)
Disclaimer: I didn’t want to write this but they made me do it. I guess I had to considering some men felt a little hurt by 5 Men You Shouldn’t Date and seeing as I’m all for equality it made sense to at least publish a follow up post. Before I delve into the list…

5 Men You Shouldn’t Date…
Dating is similar to algebra. Yes I just compared the human process of mating to mathematics but bear with me whilst I attempt to explain. In algebra, the objective is to find “x” and within dating both parties are also trying to find “x”. It’s a process of trial and error, whereby all the wrong…

7 things I’ve learnt about Abstinence Whilst Being Abstinent
Yes, I’m abstinent and yes it is possible. Sexual abstinence used to be one of those things that people didn’t like to talk about. Having people think you were having sex as opposed to not enjoying coitus at all was better for the ego. Fast forward a few decades and although sex might still be…

The Black Community & The Black Saviour Complex…
“Formation” stirred up varying emotions within me, one of them being sadness. I explore what I have termed the black saviour complex. I loved Blue Ivy’s cameo. I loved that in a single line, Beyonce tells those who criticise her husband’s aesthetics where to stick it. I even loved the braids. Beyonce released “formation” without…

5 Ways To Cope With Valentine’s Day Whilst Single..
Valentine’s day has become something of a duel between singles and couples. Couples generally take the opportunity to show their loved “one” how much they mean to them by way of a gift. The gift can range from chocolates, to flowers, to a date or a holiday, depending on how much emphasis you both place…

Can I Rent A Valentine?
“Would you rent when you could own?” – Anon. Do you remember when you were young ( I mean really young, think 10 years ago) and you wanted to ask a question in class? You would always weigh up the pros and cons of asking this question because the last thing you wanted was to…

2016, Year of Bae…
The word crept up on us. Whether we wanted to or not, we found ourselves using it. I don’t even like the word. It’s a silly term most likely coined by someone who probably wasn’t even in a relationship (or an American) but it has since become the go to word of endearment, displacing the…

There Aren’t Enough Christian Men…
I’m sorry to burst your bubble so early into the article. I’m sorry for not setting the scene before ruining the ending but it has to be said, there aren’t enough Christian men. Granted I haven’t come to this conclusion by way of any scientific experiment. No sample has been taken. No survey has been…

All Your Friends Are Getting Married and Having Babies And You’re Like…
“Every 15 seconds, a woman is proposed to. Please dial 322 – help me find a beau, if you’re not that woman. “ If you’re over the age of 21, I’m sure you’re experiencing this. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media sites that I have forgotten to mention are daily reminders that all your…

He Wasn’t Man Enough For Me…
Our infatuation with bad guys is forcing the nice guys to rethink their strategy. This article is a return to what I’m quite passionate about and that is the dynamics between male and female and our perceptions of the opposite sex. It’s an article that should explain the ramifications of using baseless statements to define an entire gender.…

For Christians Who Date…
This is a product of numerous conversations with people from vast theological backgrounds and my personal research. This is not your final authority because that is the function of the word of God. This should hopefully evoke some feeling. Finally, this may not sit well with you but here goes.. 1.There is no one. The…

Proverbs 31 Is For Men.
I anticipate a little confusion with the title. It’s unusual to see proverbs 31 juxtaposed with manhood in this way. The scripture makes the explicit reference to the “virtuous wife” in verse 10 and so I can understand why the title would be unusual to some. However, the meaning behind the title will soon become…

Don’t Go Wasting Your Proverbs 31 On A Bozo…
The Proverbs 31 woman might be the most referenced woman in the entire Bible . The woman without a name has become the prototype for womanhood in Christ. She is honoured for her noble character, her worth more than rubies, her goodness, her eager hands, her culinary skills and her generosity. She is diligent with…

Six Things Christians Have Ruined…
The title was fashioned to provoke discussion. This is not to say that the content will not reflect the headline but I thought it best to preface the article before I continued. Neither is it a berating of Christianity but my perspective of (some) Christians. 1. Sex We have ruined sex. For many Christians sex is…

Christianity & The Great Sexpectations
This post is not for kids. Please proceed with caution. I am not an authority on sex. I thought that would be a great disclaimer given the subject matter as I wouldn’t want the article to mislead anyone into thinking that I was. I’m simply a woman who has dared to think about married life…

Christian Thirst.
“but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:14 (Jesus) I had never heard of the word thirst until I became well acquainted with social networking sites. I had always been at…

I Belong To Everybody, I Belong To No One – #Buhari #DemocracyDay #BuhariFixThis #Nigeria2015
It’s 2015. General Buhari has assumed the role of President after a landslide victory in an election that made history, in that it was the first time an opposition party has taken over from the ruling party in a democratic contest. He has inherited a mass of problems such as corruption ( a recurring nuisance…
