Cut the Rope by Seldom Bonket


Image result for man cut the rope

The night fell heavy in the heights of the mountains & the man could not see anything. The moon & the stars were covered by the clouds. 

All was black. Zero visibility. Only a few feet away from the top of the mountain as he was climbing,  he slipped & fell into the air, falling at great speed. He could only see black spots as he went down & the terrible sensation of being sucked by gravity.

He kept falling. And in the moments of great fear, it came to his mind all the good & bad episodes of his life. He was thinking now about how close death was getting, when all of a sudden he felt the rope tied to his waist pull him very hard. His body was hanging in the air.

Only the rope was holding him & in that moment of stillness he had no other choice than to scream:
“Help me!”.

Then he heard a voice from the Heavens. " Cut the rope"

" What? "

" Cut the rope"

There was a moment of silence & the man decided to hold onto the rope with all his strength. The rescue team tells that the next day a climber was found dead & frozen. 

His body hanging from a rope. His hands holding tight to it. Only one foot away from the ground.
The story may not be true but holds a great lesson. 

How different are we to that man? 

Do we put our confidence in some "rope" & hang on to it as if our living & dying depended on it? 

How attached are we to our efforts, to our belief that things will only happen due to our hard work & that we make the world go round?

Isn't it time we cut the rope & let go?

Abegi cut da gaddam rope, breath and live

Story of 'Big Booty' African Slave, Sara Baartman Who was Abused by Europeans and Used as a Circus Animal (Photo)

Image
Sara Baartman was abused and used as a circus animal by Europeans   On 29 October 1810, Saartjie “Sara” Baartman, a nineteen year old Khoisan woman signed a contract to be taken from Cape Town to London to be exhibited for entertainment purposes. Though she was illiterate, history allegedly claims she signed the contract with an English ship surgeon named William Dunlop who was a friend to Pieter Willem Cezar and Hendrik Cezar. Pieter Willem Cezar had bought Sara Baartman as a slave at sixteen and she worked for Pieter’s brother, Hendrik. It was here that she was named Saartjie, the Dutch form of Sara.   The history of colonialism was so unfair to her that she was stripped of her identity and her bodily integrity. Her story is the full representation of the evils of a hybrid of colonialism, slavery, racism and sexism. The Europeans even disrespected her humanity to the extent of displaying her brain, skeleton and sexual organs in a Paris museum until 1974. Sh...

Names of Nigerian Churches That Will Make You Laugh Uncontrollably (Photos)

Image
  It should be noted that Nigerian churches especially the Pentecostal ones are springing up massively that there is the fear the institutions could outnumber the members.   Lagos State has been the worst hit as several churches of different sizes jostle for members. The numerous churches preach diverse messages bordering on salvation, healing, miracles, financial success, promotion and others.   Due to the exhausted names of churches, it appears some founders have adopted extreme names to prevent the repetition of the names of other religious gatherings in the country.   Below are the funny names of some churches in Nigeria:
