Crossover Event...

Yay!!!! Dec. 31 crossover time and as a proper naija babe, we must enter crossover in the house of God. I remember when I was young, my aunt would always tell me that everyone had to go to their place of worship on 31^st, even if you didn’t believe in God, you will still attend a church or mosque on that day  it is a MUST!.

We (as a family) decided to go to church and, where I stay, a lot of churches were not really doing crossover service but we knew a church that was hosting one so we decided to go for it. We prayed, pastor preached, then time for offering. Most of the people that were in the church that day were obviously not regular members (like me) but we were all Nigerians. Offering bowl passes by me, I honestly wanted to put money in the bowl but I had reasons why:

1.      I was standing and I honestly didn't want to sit down to search my bag filled with many necessities to bring out money... so I decided that since I knew the ushers, before I left the church I would put in my offering.

2.      I wasn’t given an offering envelope and going to get one was another journey entirely.

3.      I honestly didn’t feel like putting in money… something kept holding me back but I knew I was going to do it at the end.

4.      In general, I had intentions of dropping cash!

Offering bowl don pass dey go and it was now time to pray on the money. The pastor just looked at the offering bowl, stopped the choir and said;

"If you have not put anything inside this offering bowl raise your hand?"

After no one responded,

He said,

“This is the first day of the New Year; you should be ready to put in an offering?” ..etc 

After talking about how we should all put in money into the offering bowl, the pastor now started praying and he was like;

"For those who have put in money inside this basket, may they be blessed this new year, they will not be sick, etc"….. Basically, he was only praying for those that put in money.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I’m actually confused on whether I should rant or not... should I be ranting about a pastor? And would that be considered rude?

*still in a dilemma*

Anyway, it was a HUGE shock for me that a pastor would do such a thing. I had good intentions of definitely putting in my offering. But after the first comment, I was 1,000,000,000% sure that NOT a dime that I own would SMELL the offering bowl. I’m giving to God and not to the pastor, I agree; and I probably should’ve still put money in that bowl, I agree. But, I thought about it and I figured I would save that offering, and when I go to my church, I would put it inside the offering bowl plus my official offering for that Sunday. I was actually speechless at such manner of approaching people. I know churches run on money but such aggressiveness as to collecting money from the people in the house of God, IS NOT RIGHT! It came across as the man was desperate or something. My friend was giving me one eye because I didn’t give money but I did not care. I had already made up my mind after his first comment.

I don’t know if this is a rant or not but it was my first experience in the new year so why not share?

Has anyone gone to a church where it is by force to drop an offering, is it not a personal choice?

I’d love to hear your opinions...on this whole thing and since we are on this topic,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope it’s filled with love, joy, blessings and greater achievements than all previous years combined!

And with all the love in my heart,

Tharrisall

Nollywood Excuses!

Haba!

I have vexed ooh

So the one time I was looking for this particular movie to watch and because I am not at home (in naija) I can’t get to watch it as easily as everyone else. So, I ask where can I get the movie to watch online and some iranu of a person starts to condemn me because I am looking for where to watch the movie online instead of buying the original DVD or going to the movies to watch it....

Thus is my rant

THA FUDGE?????? .... do you my friend, think that if I could find a place to buy it that I won’t, or if I could watch it in the cinemas, I won’t???. I LOVE to support my naija people any day especially when I see a lot of hardwork and effort has been put into a project but I can only help you, if you help yourself..... in other words, I will ONLY buy the movie if I can see it to buy and I will only go to the cinemas if I can watch it in the cinema... so don’t be easy to judge.

I know we have a lot of piracy issues in naija but sometimes, I can’t help but blame the actors, actresses, producers, musician and every single person in that industry... why you may ask? its cos they don’t give us the opportunity to help them... have any of them EVER thought of making a website online where people can buy their movies and watch them like Netflix?. Something that is user friendly and won’t give you hypertension when you are about to put in your credit card number.

It’s frustrating when Nigerians expect apples to freaking drop from the sky. If you want me to buy your movie, make sure I can find it to buy.... SHIKENA!!!!..... it is not that hard... if I can’t find it to buy, I WILL watch it illegally and too bad for your pocket... because at this point it’s no longer my fault.... it is you my friend, that has deprived yourself of that amount of money ... no be me cause am....

And if you know anyone in the industry let them SEE this and make a change instead of continuously complaining because I am tired of hearing this stupid excuse....

*sorry I haven’t been blogging didn’t have much to rant about.

What do they want?

*attempting to dodge slap* Don’t arm me!!!!
Ok I apologize but I've had a travelling week asin I travelled almost every other day.... and I had an exam... so it wasn’t the most fun week...
Ill rant about that later sha

Sha onto serious topic...or ranting whichever way you want to call it

Story behind my rant

Me: so what are you looking for in a girl?

Him: I want a clean girl with less baggage... she should love god

*Girl passes by*

Me: what about her?

Him: well she’s not churchy and she doesn’t carry that much baggage... but she doesn’t go to church...

*another passes by*

Me: What about her?

Him: I don’t know, she seems too churchy for me

STOP RIGHT THERE!

Am I the only one that sees the contradiction between those two scenarios/ statements. You say you want a girl that loves God and when you finally meet one, you complain that she’s too churchy... you have got to be friggin kidding me right now! Like honestly? Are you serious? ..... Cos really all I see right now is someone that is confused and doesn’t know what he wants! *calms down*

As you can tell, I’m in ultimate ranting mode... truth is everyone has this problem... we envision what we want but when we finally face it, we can’t accept it because truly, that is not what we want.... we want something better or worse than that...

As much as I'm super angry about this whole thing, I couldn’t blame them too much...sometimes, I go to the mall with the idea of buying heels and I come back with a pair of flats.... Why?.... because I find out that those heels I thought would look great on me are actually not for me or I find out that I can barely walk in them.... smh!

But you know what, doing that to shoes, is fine but trampling on human beings feelings, can NEVER be acceptable...

MORAL OF THE STORY: live for God and yourself, you can never please human beings

Losing yourself

*now sweeping the floor*

Oook so ayam back

If you didn’t miss me then keep it to yourself

No my trials and tribulations are not yet over but halfway there

On to today’s topic:

So today is a moral episode and this is part of what I’ve been going through... you know when people say "obedience is better than sacrifice", errm take it seriously because it is soo true. Sha on to the story:

So there’s this guy I met sha at the beginning of my school year, and things were good and we had a lot of friends in common sha over a couple of weeks or days, the dude finally came up to me and you know how these things go... if you don’t, well, we like each other h-end of story. sha being the good geh that I am, I decide I’m not going to get physical until we know h-each other well enough and that was my blessing... sha one day, dude is sick.... can’t get off bed so I go for a visit and when I get there, I find some pills and I don’t know what they are for so I send my mom the names of the pills (she’s a pharmacist) and a couple of days later she replies me that those drugs are for people with tuberculosis.....1 2 3 4 5 *scream*....

If you don’t know what tuberculosis is, it is a lifetime disease and can spread from ANY form of liquid exchange…Google the rest

I did mention we were sort of seeing each other right? Well, we were and I made it a rule that we should NOT get involved yet... asin no kissing or any liquid contact but we did have hugs and other moments but I was really hesitant and careful...

Ok so my rant:

JESUS CHRIST! What would have happened to me if I had kissed him or did anything stupid? What would have happened to me if I had thrown down all my guards, my morals and everything I would have had TUBECULOSIS! Ehen! My mum told me this disease is like a taboo and it’s a big thing I even did a little research on it and I panicked for the longest time... plus around that time I had a cough and chest pains (symptoms of TB) ... remember in my last post I said this was a matter life or death well, YOU SEE???.... the amount of panic I have gone through is too much..... I was losing it small by small mehn and no one to talk to about this ish.... I was scared to the bone... anyways

MORAL OF THE STORY: don’t loose yourself, stick to your laws and rules according to God cos they could literally save you from a life time disease like it did for me.... and yes I DONT have Tuberculosis.... THANK GOD!!! Cleared by the doctor....sha we dont talk no more but the point is never lose your self

THARRISALL

No vex...

I know... I'm begining to slack but I am aving a mid life crisis right now... I will rant about it next week... this one is serious ooh am talking tuberculosis serious mehn asin no jokes.... sha pray for me ooh!!!!...
