Congratz to Eco '16 Freshest Graduate
'Deo gratias', 'Chukwu Dalu', how is this said in your local dialect? I'm a million and one times (more than the stars in all the earth) grateful to God for bringing me this far.
In addition, I would love to say thank you to my family. To my parents- Felix Monye and Felicia Eziashi Monye (whose sacrifices from the 1990s still take my breath away), my sisters- Ifechukwude Monye Ogochukwu Monyeand Ngozi Monye (who are worth more than tens of brothers to me), my aunties, uncles and cousins whose prayers and jokes kept me going.
I came here totally clueless as to what it means to be an economist, but today I can boast of a handful of economic theories. I owe this knowledge to my wonderful lecturers. I would also love to thank my mentor in the research world, Dr. Tony Orji for instilling in me the quest for quality academic work.
Thanks also to all my friends who made my stay here memorable. ToBernard Chinonso for letting me go crazy every once or twice. ToChiamaka Symphoroser Mgbeme, S-star Ada Iduh, Patience Ezeogo,Chidinma Uka, Conrad Johnson-Omodiagbe, Chika Nwokoma Ozonze Chima Cally (Chimakodim n'isi), Felix Ceejay, Chidi Prince John, Egbo Chinedu Francis, Ozoemena Nonso Lydia Louise Ezeh Aneke Favour etc etc for all those moments filled with laughter (and more serious ones filled with worry). At some point, keeping close tabs with friends proved really hard and I became 'less close' to some people... It doesn't mean I love you any less.
I left this for so long because I wanted to make sure I acknowledge everyone, but truth is, I can't. The human mind tends to forget no matter how much we want to remember. So I want to say thanks to everyone I ever met here in school, especially those whose names I do not know and those who I only shared nods and weird smiles with.
Chukwu goziere m unu.

SATURDAY NIGHT WITH T.G
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME
Thessy is naturally a very beautiful girl or let's say she's a drop-dead lady.
She left the University with almost a first class, having a CPGA of 4.48 where she studied linguistics. From her school days there's this ring she normally wears which she was really oblivious about. She just likes it and wears it.
Yea Thessy was a christian and a committed one too.
However in all these attributes, one thing that was so conspicuous about her is that everybody knows her as some one that loves kids. She loves kids that she wouldn't even mind to baby sit your child for you.
In church she doesn't actually work in the childrens department but she carries people's baby when they are crying, sometimes tying them at her back. The babies most times will stop crying when she helps to babysit.
Also because of this, it seems Thessy have more friends with married woman and consistently she unwittingly sees her self wearing all this married women clothes. She likes long skirts, I mean very long skirts, she ties rapper and the popular "Buba attire" back then.
The truth is with all her stunning look, Thessy was still single. She was clocking almost her late thirties.

One day in church when she came to church with a friend, she couldn't leave her friend and go back to her norm of carrying babies. She could concentrate and listen to the preaching. The preacher said something that struck her which is that "Most times we should ask God to make us better than making us bigger because if we are better, things will fall in place and we become bigger."
Of course she was getting concerned about her singleness and that day she prayed a very pertinent prayer which I advice every reader to adopt which is "Lord if there's anything in me which I don't even know that chases people from me, any attitude or form of living which sends a bad signal to people please reveal it to me." In that prayer the Holy Spirit had to question the rationale for her always wearing that ring she started wearing since her university years as if she is engaged. Also the Holy Spirit asked her why she normally dresses like a married woman when she is not even married.
Here's the main gist.
When she changed her attitude and adjusted these things, it was not up to two months and someone proposed to her. At her wedding, believe me eight brothers walked up to her saying "I missed my chance, you were supposed to be my wife. I thought you were married."
This is down to the fact that Thessy is pretty, intelligent, has a good job, nice attitude but some pertinent things of life which she ignored delayed her.

The truth is we have to come to the place where we become much more intentional to the nitty-gritty of our lives.
When it come to ladies, understand that only God knows your heart that you are very good in all ramifications but men, Yes Men are attracted to what they see. You must dress attractive (Hey T.G do you advice we dress attractive kwa.)
Dressing attractive has nothing to do with dressing sexy. Another mistake is most people when they marry they reduce their dressing saying they are now married. You still have to dress to attract your husband. He sees girls every day and men always have this young spirit in them that even when they are old they still get attracted. So that you're married is not even a reason to underdress and worse of all is even in the house, most young married ladies tie rapper all round. That's bad. Wear night clothes instead or casual clothes.
Also most girls "Waka" and they don't walk. They just walk anyhow with no concern to walk decent with meticulous attention to every detail that happens around them.
If a boy might wear clothes twice, it is not even adviceable for a lady. I hope you do know the reason.
The next one for the ladies is their hairs. Most time we won't tell you guys that the hair smells but in real sense it does and you should learn to keep it neat.

For my fellow guys, in as much as we are the one to approach the ladies, we should have some class. There's nothing wrong with knotting a tie very well that tying a tie. There's a difference between the two you know.
Let's stop claiming spiritual brothers and thou art holy brothers and will always tell the girl what the Holy Spirit said to you when both of you are together. Learn to be romantic for once because girls are emotional human beings and are moved by what you said and not what the Holy Spirit said. This is no surprise that most of our so called spiritual brothers lose the best kind of ladies to those who can really talk. Start learning how you will propose to a lady and don't always be boring.
My advice and quote is"Don't ever appear as a suspect in anything you do, or you won't be considered as a prospect." -
What do you think? I would like to hear your opinion in the comment box.

MY WIFE
"MY WIFE, I AM SORRY"
He woke up in the morning and found her
praying. He heard her praying for him. He
stared at her. It has been a long time since he
has seen her praying. For the past few months,
they have been arguing. Last night, they had a
nasty fight. He went to the kitchen in a hurry to
prepare himself breakfast. These past days,
she hasn't been cooking for him. Shock on him.
He found breakfast already set at the table. He
ate. He went back to the bedroom, to prepare
for a shower. She left the shower. "Good
morning. Have a blessed day" she said as she
entered the bedroom and he left for the
bathroom. After his shower, all dressed up for
work; he found his wife at the kitchen, eating
breakfast in peace. She was looking at some
funny videos on her phone and giggling. He
looked at her then walked out the door. The
last look he had of her before he left was of
her at peace. That last look disturbed him. This
is not how she should be. This is not how she
has been. He has been hurting her, she has
recently found out that he has been flirting
with other women, he has cheated once and
used money meant for their family on other
women. She should be angry. Her peaceful
demeanour disturbed him. Evening came. He went
home and met his peaceful wife again. She was
cooking and laughing with their children. She
had come from work two hours ago.The dinner
was enjoyable. Good food, she having warm
conversations with the children. He as the
father felt left out. His wife and children
seemed to be having fun despite him hurting
them. After dinner, as she washed the dishes
and the children had gone to bed. He
approached her. "Are you OK?" he asked her.
"I am more than OK. I am blessed "She
answered. "Are you not mad at me? After all
that I am doing and have done wrong?" he
asked. She placed the washed plate in the rack
then looked at him and said, "I asked myself,
what is the most important relationship in my
life? The one I have with you or the one with
God? And I realized it is the one with God. I live
for God, not for you. Marrying you was a
blessing but it is not all there is in life. God has
blessed me with life and I will not waste it
crying because of the hurt you cause me to
feel "She picked up a dirty glass and began
washing it. "I realized I had given you too much
power... Yes, you are my husband, the closest
human being in my life and the human being I
love the most; but you are not God. You have
failed me but God never fails me. I will not let
you ruin my joy, my peace and my progress.
You break our marriage if you want to, but I
will hold on to God. And as I hold on to God, I
will be full of joy despite what you do "She said
rinsing the glass. She looked at him and
continued, "When you hurt me and disrespected
me, I realized I was acting out like a woman
who has no God. I got mad and hurled insults,
I wanted to revenge and I allowed you to mess
me day after day. My performance at work
went down, I talked less to our children, I
became bitter to the children, I felt sorry for
myself, I developed ulcers. And then I realized,
I have God, I shouldn't act like someone with no
relationship with God. Why should I be hopeless
yet God is with me? I had focused so much on
you that I forgot about God. When you found
me, I had God. We dated and got married and I
let everything be about you because I wanted
to make our marriage work. Our marriage
became the idol I worship instead of the
blessing I have in God. Our marriage is failing
apart because of you but my relationship with
God is still intact "She scrubbed the
pot. "You have chosen to abandon our
marriage but that doesn't mean my whole world
has collapsed. I will still continue being a good
mother to our children. They will never say the
problems between mom and dad, made mom a
monster. You do as you please with other
women, I will raise our children. "She looked at
him and told him, "Do I hate you? No, it will be a
lie to say I hate you. You are the man I
married, the one I vowed to, the one I
love "Tears fell down her cheeks. She wiped
them. "I can't just cancel all the years we have
been together. The Quran as well as the Bible asks us to love our
enemies. If I am able to love my enemies,
surely I can still love you despite all you have
done. I am angry and disappointed, but I have
taken my power back. I live for God who has
exceedingly blessed me, not for you and the
pain you cause "She wiped her wet hands, took
the apron from her body and told him, "In my
peace, I am planning on where the children and
I will move to. Since you have chosen to have
an affair, you have shown clearly that you
don't need us. So we will not make your life
uncomfortable by forcing you to live with us.
You need to be able to bring the woman you are
cheating with to your own house. I am working
on something. I came into this house in peace
and I will leave in peace. You will not kill my
smile and shine "She walked to the
bedroom. Minutes later. He followed her to the
bedroom. He found her peacefully asleep.He
nudged her. He woke her up and said,
"Please don't go, don't move out. I will hurt you
no
more, I will cheat no more. I am not OK. I want
the peace you have. I want to be the kind of
husband you are as a wife. "Since that day, he
has been a reformed man. No more affairs, no
more
hurting her, no flirting with other women, or
endless fights. She didn't move out. She and
the children stayed. He submitted to God and
learned how to be a good husband, Love is
powerful enough to humble the most proud .

Laugh with Me
A couple wants a divorce, but first they must decide who will be the main guardian of their child. The jury asks both the man and woman for a reason why they should be the one to keep the child. So the jury asks the woman first. She says, "Well I carried this child around in my stomach for nine months and I had to go through a painful birth process, this is my child and apart of me."
