Perfume of Heart

"Love is friendship set on fire."

Never allow your partner or yourself to denigrate the other. You must have personal respect and consideration for yourself. Everyone deserves respect and love.
But you can't expect to get it unless you give it.
If you allow your partner to disparage you, expect to hear other damaging words.
Whatever you are willing to accept is exactly what you're going to get.
Be compassionate, understanding, forgiving and merciful.
Patience, kindness, consideration and thoughtfulness can never be in short demand.
Don’t take anything for granted, the most precious thing in life are the smallest thing we oversee on daily basis and can be taken at any moment

HARRY HIPPIE

Everybody claims that they want the best things

Out of life, but not everyone, 

Want to got through the toils and strife`s.

 

Like this particular fella, walks around

all day long singin' this song

sha na lah dah dah lah dah

 

Harry Hippie, lies asleep in the shade,

life don't bug him cause he

thinks he's got it made.

He never worry about nothinG' in particular

Oooh he might even sell free press on Sunset.

 

I'd like to help a man when he's down

but I can't help him much

when he's sleeping' on the ground.

 

He's like a bottle in water

Harry just floats through life

Walks around all day long singin' this song

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ohhh yeah

 

Mary Hippie, she's Harry's lady

Panhandles money just to feed Harry's baby.

She can lie down a story so incredible

Man, you want TO help her take the food

home and put it on the table.

 

I'd like to help a man when he's down,

but I can't help ya Harry

if you want TO sleep on the ground.

Sorry Harry, you're too much weight

to carry around.

 

But he still walks around all day singinG' this song

Sha dah dah dah sha

Street child, street child, tell me where

will you be goinG'

when old man winter gets his horn

and starts blowinG'

Will you hang around LA

or hitch a ride on a freeway

Meet an old familiar face in a new place.

 

I'd like to help a man when he's down

But how can I help him

if he's somewhere out OF town

Sorry Harry, think I'm gonna put you down.

Sha dah dah

LOVE (1 Corinthians)

I may be able to speak the languages of men and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell.
I may have the gift of inspired preaching,
I may have the gift of knowledge and understand all secrets;
I may have all the faith needed to move mountains
but if I have no love, this does me no good.

Love is patient and kind it is not jealous or conceited or proud.
Love is not ill mannered or selfish or irritable.
Love does not keep a record of wrongs.
Love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.
Love never gives up and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.
Love is eternal.

There are inspired messages, but they are temporary there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues but they will ceases there is knowledge but it will pass.
For our gifts of knowledge and of inspired messages are only partial but when what is perfect comes, then what is partial will disappear.
When I was a child, my speech, feelings and thinking were all those of a child now that I am a man, I have no more use for childish ways.
What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror then we shall see face to face.
What I know now is only partial then it will be complete as complete as God`s knowledge of me.
Meanwhile these three remain:
Faith, Hope and Love.
The greatest of these is love

(African Woman Sets Herself on Fire) MY THOUGHT

Thanks for sharing this image, its Sad but We blame foreigners, church, even everyday people!!!! But ourselves.

WHAT ABOUT OUR SO CALLED AFRICAN GOVERNMENT or Leaders? Do we have to continue to enslave ourselves while some selfish few live in luxury?
Come on You, You, and ME too, knows somebody in power messing up other people`s life but we turn a blind eye because of what we might gain from them aka contract, sponsorship, political appointments.
I have seen many men and women folk too of principle here in UK on arrival in Nigeria lost their moral and sanity for a fistful of Naira.

I can remember a once good friend that study political science nursing a political ambition, that if and when ever he decided to contest for any post in Nigeria, I will personally take up an advert in the national newspaper from my own very purse telling people not to VOTE the bastard because he is my friend i know him a lot and I can’t trust him to share a burger with my little boy without him ripping the poor lad up.

If all is well in your house everybody out there will respect you, how can people in a better society respect us when all they hear about us is corruption, inhuman treatment among us even in work place.

On one of my trip to Lagos, I visited my lawyer that works at the office of commissioner of police in Ikeja and just along the corridor upstairs there was this stench like human decay, and i thought peewee what was that!!. On my right hand I heard noises coming through the whole in the wall and what I saw will hunt me for the rest of my live, just a size of a room 12"x14" was at least 180 men with no clothes on and no roof in that court yard in the blazing sun of Lagos 32 degrees, and i will like to believe that this has been the case for years, how do you justify that. It’s sickening and i am thankful to God that i made my son sat with the driver in the café downstairs or how do i rationalize that to him? The thought of that site still made me physically shaken. Black on Blacks, modern day en-slavery?

Killing each other all in the name of economic hardship? How do we justify that?
Mr Kunle must be seen intimidating Mr & Mrs Omoyo to proof his arrived aka big man!
One of my Manager (a Caucasians) that grew up in a black neighbourhood once said, if you go to a sport shop and everybody buy a pair of white Nike shoes for £50 a pair, Some of us black people will come in and buy a pair of GOLD coloured GOLA trainers for £150, with matching Gold tooth, just to proof a point, we are rich but not wealthy!!

Our leader live in Marble house with a tiled drive way but outside their gate is squalor, muddy water, rubbish dump and some even build their houses in the drainage part just to live in highly sorted areas.

But stupidly we love to kill the messenger and not the master that sent him, I am a proud Ijebu Man before being a Yoruba and a Nigerian, you must be wandering why? Because that is where my heart is, and Nigeria in Africa home world is all I’ve got

I have heard some fools that said THEY HATE THE GOING BACK HOME IDEA TO CONTRIBUTE ANYTHING TO THE DEVELOPMENT, but in another tone will PREFER IN THEIR DEATH TO BE SHIPPED AND BURIED BACK HOME. Laughable? Home world is only good enough for your carcass.

Brother please Let take care of our back yard before we start fighting a foreign war, the first thing the white folk will always say is go back to JUNGLE Africa, we all know it’s not the monkey hopping jungle they are talking about because, Africa Home world is as developed as most places in western Europe, But economic wise it is a jungle.
If this touches some raw nerve? That is what it was intended

African Woman Sets Herself on Fire To Protest Racism

 
Sad stuff...



The horrifying sight which traumatized shoppers and office workers in the centre of Luxembourg City last week has now been labeled as a protest against racism. The Belgian woman of Congolese origin who set herself alight in the middle of Place d'Armes told witnesses that she was! doing it to protest against racism, moments before she carried out th e desperate act which has left her in hospital fighting for her life.

Maggy Delvaux-Mufu, a mother of three in her forties, alerted several national newspapers late on Tuesday morning last week that she would be burning herself alive on place des Martyrs at 12.45 am, before setting out accompanied by her husband to walk through the centre of town to her macabre rendezvous. The police were alerted and officers were deployed to the Rousegärtchen.

But the woman changed her plan when she came across a group of journalists gathered to cover an event organized by the 'Movement écologique' on Place d'Armes, opposite the Cercle municipal. She soaked herself in petrol before confronting the members of the press, announcing that she was about to sacrifice her life to protest against racism. Moments later, she struck a match, turning herself into a human torch in front of hundreds of people.
Delvaux-Mufu' s husband and passers-by jumped on the burning body, attempting to stifle the flames with coats and jackets. The sce! ne made several people feel unwell and many witnesses who filled the square at lunchtime were traumatized by the woman's shrieking screams of unimaginable pain. The flames were already extinguished when police, rescue services and the fire brigade arrived at the scene. One person is reported to have vomited after seeing the woman being transported into an ambulance. The events in Place d'Armes have also started a controversy regarding the authorities' lack of psychological support for witnesses.

Delvaux-Mufu was taken to the Bon Secours hospital in Metz, where she is being treated in a specialized ward for burns and is fighting for her life. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa visited the woman and her family at the hospital last week.

RTL television was the first to run a news flash about the incident on its website on Tuesday afternoon last week. 352 reported the bulletin in its news in brief section, shortly before going to print. Events preceding the incident only came to light later on in the week.


The 42-year-old Belgian citizen and her husband had been facing financial difficulties. They had recently indebted themselves by buying a Citroën garage in Oberwampach, before realizing they were missing the documents that would allow them to set up a business. Delvaux-Mufu wrote a letter to Le Jeudi recounting her story of bureaucratic difficulties and economic despair. "I'm against all forms of violence, but day after day, my family and I have to endure moral violence, discrimination, insults and much more from Mr Juncker's administration" , she said in the letter published last week.

Money problems had driven the woman to desperately plead her case at the Prime minister's office early on the same day of the incident. Her threat to burn herself alive on Place des Martyrs after being turned away by the authorities caused government officials to contact the police. A city-wide search was organized, but nobody could foresee the woman would change her plans."
