Living With Loss

Loss is a very real part of life. More than natural death, it is the feeling that someone or something dear to you has come to an untimely end. It could be a dead end in a relationship you had great hopes for, a devastating end when the […]

Pursue, Provide and Protect

I usually write for the ladies… Today, I want to write for the gents. I usually write from personal experience, but today, I’m writing from an understanding of a husband’s duty to his wife and family. We owe it to feminism for the blurred roles in the family. […]

Afraid to Disagree?

Many people think I am nice. You know, because I am Christian, they feel I ought to be nice, friendly and agreeable. And the fact that I am charitable and compassionate magnifies the perception that I am naive, easy and a push over. Resisting other people’s urge to […]

What do you make time for?

Time is one thing that we are always complaining about. Whether there’s not enough time in the day and you’re too busy, or you’ve got too much time on your hands and you’re terribly bored. Or maybe you can’t wait to grow up so you can do this […]

I am Pro-Life, but… (Part Two)

In my previous post, I concluded my discussion by ending with an appeal for women to take the sacrificial route, rather than demand their right to their bodies and life in the abortion debate.  However, I thought more on it and realised that the debate doesn’t end there. […]

I am Pro-Life, but…

Yes, there’s a but.  There was no ‘but’ before I got pregnant myself and experienced the reality and the mystery of it all.  Before, there was no argument in my mind about it.  I was – and still am – Pro-Life, because of my fundamental belief in God […]

Don’t Let Me Fall

(Originally published on ufuomaee.tumblr.com) Don’t let me fall! Though I throw my head back And I scream and I shout And I act like I don’t want you around… Don’t let me fall! I don’t know what I do When I do these to you But you should […]

If I Drop Christ

If I drop Christ, my voice would be amplified, and I would reach a wider audience… If I drop Christ, more people will like my posts, comment and share them abroad… If I drop Christ, I will gain more followers and popularity the world over… If I drop […]

What is the value of a diamond?

I am no economist, nor accountant.  I can’t claim business experience.  However, as a social entrepreneur and thinker in my time, I dare to submit an opinion. What’s in a diamond?  Everyone seems to want one.  A really big one, if possible.  They don’t want to eat it, […]

Ufuomaee’s Seven Reasons To Wait

The pressure is ON to loose your virginity like yesterday!!!  Parents who might have otherwise counseled you, forbade you or restricted you from sexual involvement before marriage, are now encouraging you to use protection because they have given in to the belief that YOU WILL DO IT ANYWAY, […]

Great Expectations

Do you remember that catchy song from the 80s by Surface that goes “only you can make me happy”?  It was one of my favourite songs at the time, and summed up my perspective on love, or better yet – romance.  The claim is that you can’t be […]

As Gracious as God

The true test of love is the willingness and, ultimately, ability to forgive every conceivable wrong of the beloved. To enter into a sacred and binding commitment with another soul, one must be ready to become as gracious as God!

My Womb Cryeth

My womb doth cry and cry… For the thing that delighteth it so, It did not receive. In the days past, It hath gathereth and prepareth A place so inviting and intimate, Where it may conceive and nurture The seed of a man… But alas, the month has […]
