TRENDING IN MODESTY

In a world where,you take what you have to get what you want.

In a world where, las las hungry nai kill the patient dog.

In a world where, no matter how holy a man is, he is still making his choice of ladies basically through the channel of his sight.

In a world where laziness and weakness is defined by not meeting up to the standard and trend at the moment.

Then,
How can modesty be better than not following the trend and rejecting;
_ Instant satisfaction
_ Immediate help
_ what others have
_ what you even want
_ perpetual enjoyment 

Therefore,
Who can find a girl trending in modesty at this generation?

Generally, modesty is a simple, plain, unpretentious humble way of living.

But there's a fallacy on the quality of being modest that is so much believed in the society now.

 It is believed that a modest person can never make a fortune in the world now.

For the world now is a place where different approaches is taken to get to the promised Land.

It is not a place for mind limited people, but a place called " The Survival of the Fittest" - where everything goes.

It is a place for those who can put their eyes on the back of their head and do anything - just to make it. 

But in the world where there's;
Season and Time
Trends and Doingz
Dogged and Rugged
True and Untrue Stories

The Lord says in pro.11:2b
IT IS WISER TO BE MODEST

Nowadays, modesty is centered around dressing. There's more to modesty than clothing.

For once heart is not holier in skirt than in a pair of jeans.

Modesty is also wrongly defined as having a limited  opinion of oneself and abilities.

Notably, having low opinion of yourself isn't modesty. But it's self destruction.

Furthermore, wanting to seen as good person and appearing to be holy doesn't really make you modest. 

According to David Mitchell " false modesty can be worse than arrogance"

Cos, the person on longs and the person on shorts can be doing the same thing.

WHO CAN FIND A MODEST GIRL

The meaning of MODESTY varies in different part of the world.

The standards of modesty are provided to people according to their culture, tradition, religion and society one finds himself or herself.

According to Margaret Eleanor Atwood, former prime minister of United Kingdom and Canadian Poet:
  " Modesty is invisibility, to be seen, to be seen is to be penetrated."

This above statement mainly applies to a lady's body.  Avoiding unnecessary exposition also avoids unnecessary lustful chase.

In African culture, it is commonly said
 " The Way You Dress Determines How You Will Be Address."

In as much as dressing is the main aspect of being modest, people has read their own meaning to the word "MODESTY."

Some females are taught that wearing longs, no make-up, natural hair will fetch them good husband.

They believe that is the only criteria to have a good man who will honor and respect them.

This can be true to some extent, but if that is idea of being modest, then we are getting it wrong.

Therefore, there's more to modesty than clothing.

A person's action, thought, discussion, prayer life and all behavior is to be influenced by the quality of being Modest.

For MODESTY is not just a virtue, but it is the conscience of the body.

KING KATOR: Keep Kinging

Image
Nobody calls him by his real name anymore — even he sometimes forgets it. He goes by Kator now. A name his guy gave him after they watched that Nigerian film “A Lagos Love Story.” Mad film, by the way. 10/10 recommend if your heart still beats for woman matter. But this isn't one of those motivational stories where a guy gets heartbroken, starts going to the gym, builds six-packs, and becomes a millionaire in six months. Omo, forget that Instagram nonsense ( you didn't hear that from me) This one is real. This one is Kator’s story. Born and raised in the hood somewhere deep in Delta State. The kind of place where NEPA light is a blessing, and gunshots don’t always mean it's Christmas. Kator is in his early twenties, working a 9–5 in Lagos. Corporate job, yes, but salary? E go shock you. After tax, he dey look his account like, “Is this life or life support?” But he has dreams, real ones......Multiple streams of income, peace of mind, and one day — to be the kind of father ...

KING KATOR: Keep Kinging Part 2 ( A SESSION WITH QUEST)

Image
“ So, Kator, ” I said gently, “ just tell me a bit about her. Quest .” He rubbed his palms together. “ She’s a student.” I blinked '' A student?'' “ Yes. Dentistry and Dental Surgery, Ebonyi State University. ” I nodded slowly. Not because it explained everything — but because it explained something. '' so, you entered something serious with someone who's literally buried between preclinicals & clinicals, struggling to survive dental school stress? Probably thinking of surviving tomorrow's test, not some unknown future."   He didn't reply. I wasn’t judging. I just knew what pressure felt like. And sometimes, people don’t walk away from love — they walk away from timing. That was when the professional in me kicked in, I knew I had to speak to her-- not as Kator's friend or ghostwriter, but as someone who understood pressure, detachment, and emotional timing... I needed to hear Quest’s side — not for gossip… for balance. Thats why I'm ...

THE WALLS OF THE HOSPITAL

Image
I read an article last week that said,                                                                                                                   " The walls of the hospital have heard more sincere prayers than the walls of the church."               At first, it struck me as strange — almost irreverent. But the more I thought about it, the more truth I found in that simple, powerful line. Hospitals are not just places of medicine and surgery. They are sacred grounds where human beings — stripped of all pretense — face the rawest parts of themselves. Here, there is no pretending. No performance. Only the trembling heart meeting the mystery of life and ...
