Love Notes to Mr Adegbite (1)

To My Darling
Mr Adegbite

Today 
Today I noticied, everytime I listen to a love song I think about you.
Today I realised, anytime somebody kisses in a movie I think about us.
Today I woke wishing we could stay asleep a little longer in each other arms.
Each others arms, where there are no fears, shame or doubt.

need
I need you, to want me more
I need you, to see me more
I need you, to hear me more
I need you, i need you to fight for this more

more 
More loving, less fighting
More believing, less doubting
More dreaming....
More More More

NIGERIANS AND TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE'S WEIGHT

You are getting FATTER!
Do you know you are becoming FAT
You have gotten so FAT
or
Why don't you EAT, you are so skinny
EAT something you are too slim
We need to feed you.

These my friends, are the comments we grow to hear ever too frequently in Nigeria.
It is so embarrassing to meet someone after a while and all they can comment on is your weight.
It is a POOR conversation starter.
As a matter of fact you can ruin a chance at a friendship from the statements I listed above.
People know their weights and for most people it is already a struggle.
There is simply no need to embarrass a person especially publicly with these remarks
STOP IT IF YOU DO IT SERIOUSLY.
