Random Musings 2

So, I actually came across a post by a real lesbian yesterday. And I've been asking myself critical questions...How can I show God's love without endorsing homosexuality? It's part of the music that has been playing in my head all day.

Then there's my question about whether it's polite to ask people to look things up when you can easily provide the answer.

Then, the one that is ALWAYS on my mind - Domestic Violence and Abuse is where it is. I'm quite optimistic about the‪#‎WhiteRibbonMovement‬. I'll be sharing more about it as I get more information.

Then I've been reading from those who have been screaming about inclusion yet they have difficulties including those that have views that are different from theirs. Once when I was going on and on about "the truth", a dear friend told me gently but firmly "That's your opinion"...

Anyway, I realise we all have the tendency to believe that we're the blameless saints and anyone who doesn't believe what we believe is the stupid bigot...I think, as believers, we need to subject our beliefs to the light of God's word and let Him be the reason why we do what we do. And if you don't believe in God, it's helpful to sit and review your beliefs and update, if required...I think you're wrong but I guess you already knew that, lol.

Anyway, I was going to gist about a woman I met yesterday that stunned me...I had gone to buy some airtime and I met the Madam of the shop. Apparently, she just finished HITTING a child (I don't know if it's her child or her ward). I must have narrowly missed the action. So the "Aunty" in her shop tried to raise the issue of child-battering with her as the kids had all gone on different errands. I was waiting for one of the kids to return with the air time I asked for. As the "Aunty" brought up the issue, "Madam" responded with "Aunty, e fi iyen le" (Aunty, leave that thing). So, Aunty "shut-upped" her mouth and was just looking at "Madam" as she was taking her irritation out on others. "Aunty" did not say "pim". I followed "Aunty" to shut up my mouth too.
When one of the kids returned (I assume it was the one that received the beating earlier), she began to threaten to beat him. By that time, I had got my air time and was about to take my leave.

I'll like to know if a passerby can report cases of child abuse in Nigeria. If yes, to whom? What evidence do I need to prove that a child is being abused? I'm thinking of reporting that "Madam". Yeah, I know I should Google it, right? I asked Google and she told me to ask on Facebook, lol.

Then, there's the question of my state of origin. I married someone from another state of Nigeria. Do I claim my husband's state of origin or my father's state of origin? I don't even know again. One of the female ministerial nominees was rejected by her husband's people. The same happened with the Late Dr. Dora Akunyili. My people, please educate thy sister ooo.

In case you haven't noticed, this is a random musing. How has your day been?
