Who is in the garden? A little white lie .... can I come and free her, no no no, “fleshen” it. The ride on this ship called life, has made us develop survival strategies that are inimical to our well being.
We can sabi lie enh ...... we lie so tay we dash lies colours of the rainbow. The problem here is that we weave ourselves into mazes that we then spend our entire lifetime trying to get out of.
We lie so tay we dash pikins papa wey no be dem own, and even then our lies no go vacation, without shame e enter market come dey dance azonto.
We even sabi decorate lies, our accounts go dey bleed red, we go dey form green and blue until this our forming clears destiny helpers from our path.
If your husband has not used your face to shape his fist, he cannot rest, meanwhile, my sister, na you dey tell all and sundry how your beau biscuit love you, person you’re telling is one of his side chicks, and you are not even aware, o ma se oooo.
On your last lie, the devil decided to become born again because he met the master of the game and had to bow to your superiority. You lie so tay your breast dey comot milk without pregnancy.
Your lies are ashamed to be associated with you because of your level of blackness, you lie so tay, you go to your village for summer and it suddenly turned to the south of France.
You brought your girlfriend to your home and lied to your wife that she was your cousin, you used to sneak off to her bed every night to grease your relationship until you were caught with your pants in your mouth.
The church lies are born against Christ as many testimonies actually test your money. Many dress up their stories with designer filth and present it as new season designs, you sleep with your husbands best friend, he buys you a car and you go to church to give a testimony as per the goodness of God ...... eoooowwww, una no try sister, rara, una no try.
I beg I am curious, why do we care so much about opinions and perceptions that we are prepared to trade sense for stupidity. Oya, slap yourself and receive sense.
Our lies no get rival I tell you. or how do you explain someone stuffing her womb for 9 months and then bringing forth a “bought child”, like seriously, why do we feel the need to do this? A lie is a lie and continues to be a lie, even if it is white, red or yellow. We should be careful before the name of our country is changed to Liegeria .....
Truth be told we are all guilty, because the lies we sometimes tell is so as not to hurt the feelings of others ....... Do you love me, she asks, I love you so tay if you cry I go die, and someone actually bought that without puking, na wah o.
The truth about lies is that no matter the reason, it is still a lie thus not the best.
We need to learn not to box ourselves into corners that continue to demean us. Do you then tell someone you don’t like that you don’t like him/her, now this is tough...
The answer must always go back to the fact that we are all fundamentally flawed. You do not owe anyone except God explanations for your choices and once you can open your heart to him in your stumbles and foibles, you’re good to go.
