It's ridiculous...
when you go to church and they pray for people who are dying and need healing, people who are bereaved and need comfort, people who are broke and need a helping hand, people who are depressed and need motivating. Then they add ladies who are single and need husbands.
Is this a recent thing or has it been in churches since we were kids?
I can't remember hearing that when I was younger.
Or maybe single ladies really should be on that list?
Yes, the scan below is of my soon to come girl. All 21 weeks of it. (yes I called it it. Shoot me)
J believes it's a boy, I know it's a girl. (Why? Because I did the umm 'chooking', so I know)
We will know when the babe comes forth. Not sooner. (The argument about knowing the sex before-hand simpy to buy the proper colours - blue or pink will not be extended here)
And I'm on an extended summer break from blogging too.
I have a psychiatrist friend here in Lagos - Otefe who blogs about his experiences as a 'Dr. Kolo' in one of the most 'kolo' cities I know.
So, hop on over and show the Dr. some normal people love here.
Normal oh. He's had his fill of 'kolomentalists'

Congrats again!
Why is it that fathers always prefer to have girls? Anyway, J should be happy to have a girl first. Whichever one comes first, we shall join you in praising God.
Neutral colours like purple and white will do for now.

Congrats on the Girl hombre.
Congrats on the impending arrival
Yeah Tobenna, it's ridiculous. There was a time in my former church that pastor called all the single ladies out for prayers and annointing. He even asked them all to mention the kind of husby they all want! There were men of over 30, 490 yrs in the church that are single o, none was called out for annointing. It's becoming regular now and seriously, I am not sure I am buying it!
Congrats o, who says boys dont love pink? And it has to be a girl o, I want to be a godmother!

I just congratulated you on the recent post. It seems like just yesterday you got married...now you are gonna be a daddy. Abeg send the blog love to J.
LOL @ you knowing...
LOL @ you knowing...
Oh, I can't wait to hear more about Mini Tobenna! I have no guesses but isn't it cute how much of a kick we get out of guessing the sex of a baby when the odds are quite good that we might pick the right sex just by happenstance? Yet we'll feel so proud if we're right, as if we've done something truly amazing.
I've never been to a church where they had a special prayer for single ladies...maybe I need to find myself such a church ;)
My regards to J...she's going to have her hands full with the baby and you causing mischief!

"it" will be a blessing!
As per churches praying for single ladies, wow, that is a bit much. Not saying that single and looking ladies should not seek out and receive prayer, if they want, but to transform being single into an, well a malaise of some kind, is not coo, even though the pastor might mean well.
Anyway, how you dey?

aint nothing wrong with that o...its like every normal prayer joh.
God wants us to be happy even in marriages, and u cant be happy with someone God hasnt approved and given to you...that is why pple pray for these things, so u have a wonderful partner who wont lead u astray and at the same time make u happy and help in fulfilling ur destiny.
