The women are the beauty of the human creation.

The movement of “Iya Bucky’s” hands on a cloth produces a frictional sound “teaee! Teaee! Teaee! Teaeee!” then her own sound was like “ha! Hmmmmm (sigh) Men are wicked.  They are so wicked. As soon as you give birth for him, he then begins to treat you as a scrap. You are no longer beautiful to him....”   

She continues until she landed in continuous prayers for her children then for herself. The sounds produced by the cloths she was washing and her own words of prayer produces a music in my heart and that left me with compassion for her and her story. I cannot avoid the desires to leave my books for their conversion that later transfigured me to deep thoughts.

What really happened that led to this?

I went home from school to spend short time with my parent. So I decided to read one of my courses at my leisure time. But I couldn’t help but to shake my head consistently like an agama lizard as I gazed at the jargons of the annoying course. It wasn’t what I am reading that caused the movement of my head but the conversation of “Iya Bucky” who always help us with our dirty cloths and a woman whose husband has just sent parking.

As they converse at our terrace, I sit still with my butt glued to the rug and my eyes on my books but my mind eave drop what they were saying.
 She drops her heavy load from her head ready to go get others. The worst part is when she said she had to take a longer route to avoid her husband-who has sent her parking- detect she brought her loads to our house.

 Then I begin to wonder:

Where is the love at first sight?

If love is blind, why do you still see his/her flaws?

You keep on telling me love is blind but then, you still go on to lust on others?

But then you told me true love does not exist, why then do you still fall in love?

Why do we have such a “common catastrophe in naija a.k.a CC_NAIJA”?

Who is that one that has passed CC_NAIJA into the law of our culture?

What then is the solution to this CC_NAIJA? 
 BUT THEN I HAVE ONE SOLUTION

Selflessness! J-Jesus first; O-others next; Y-you last 

If only you can take selfishness out of everything, then you are doing the right thing!
