SINCERELY Q-This Thing called HONESTY


Hello dearest ones, Thank God it's Friday, Introducing for the first time a new column,
Sincerely Q - (NEW on Royalty Blog).
A young and expiring writer, Quincy Iwediokpulu, will be sharing every friday on this blog, inspiring notes on relationships, general lifestyle etc. using eveyday occurrences and experience. It's going to be very interactive as she is very ready to ask you thoughts provoking questions, answer your questions, guide and give advice. NB: This is different from my regular or any other writer's articles that can come to you at any time or day. Okay over to you Q.!


This Thing called HONESTY

 “I sincerely lay no claims to being more knowledgeable than anyone, for these are merely my perceptions about life and they are opened to debate and criticisms -please feel free to anytime. However I do believe I know better than I knew yesterday and many years before. The sincere purpose is to be able to bless someone out there for knowledge is tyrannical unless it is shared. Enjoy!”

I think it was after I said it that I realized Chai! I don make mistake o. I for no talk at all at all!
“Q, say the truth now o and let the devil be ashamed. You know that all liars go to hell fire” And I wanted to ask her…Eh what about rumor mongers and gossips? But I kept my mouth shut and turned back to my work.
“Nkiru, the truth is what I just said. What do you want me to say again? Abeg leave me jare. No disturb me” I replied irritated.

 “How can that be the truth when everybody knows that you both branch each other’s house after work?” Nkiru asked ignoring the ”No disturb me” looked at my face and took a seat beside me.
“And how is that anybody’s business?” I announced turning back at her to watch her laugh loudly…
“It is o. Oh come on Q, we both wish you both well na and we really cannot wait to see you both married” she said winking as she swept the other opened eye over me as if to be sure she actually meant what she had just said.

 Liar! My thoughts ran… Even though everyone else in this office wishes me well…Definitely not you… Madam just say you want Onyedikachi to like you instead and let me be o

 “Ehen? Ok no problem. We go marry. Is that not what you want to hear?” I asked her looking straight into her eyes as if daring her to deny my statement and she didn’t even bother.
“Ehen!...na now you come. Which one be “I’m not in love with him o…He is my brother” When we both know that both of you don’t look alike at all or bear the same surname” She stated rising up from her seat.

 I shook my head sympathetically. All these tatafo people sef. How does different surnames make anyone less of a relation? No be by blood again?
Eh but she was gone before I could put a voice to my thoughts.
It has come to my notice that Honesty when it comes to dealing with people is a vast concept that most people do not or rather cannot grasp. The oxford dictionary defined it as being truthfully but it didn’t say in what gravity or in what consistency. Should one be honest at all times? Should it be regularly or occasionally?

THE TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE PHOTOS: PJ WEDS SUNNY

From the massive traffic at Festac town yesterday, you could tell that something was happening and the obvious questions were "what is happening", "who are they", "where're they from" And bla bla blah...lol...It's Josephine Enemor and Sunny Ihesiaba's traditional marriage. It was a colourful, classy and a typical igbo traditional wedding, as both couples are from the eastern part of Nigeria. Everyone was in red, white and gold attires especially the stunning bride in her gold lace, red george with circle patterned embriodery, and a stony glittering gold purse, the groom looking smart and dashing, men in red cap and beautiful maidens in array. I can go on and on about the event and you can be assured that it was funfilled as Royalty Okasions were in charge *wink*... Click HERE  to view their wedding website. More photos after the cut.... ...

SAILING TOGETHER

Written by Royal David Wedding planning and preparation has often time been known as women’s affair, left to be handled by the bride, her mum and friends. Gone are those days where the groom is happily going about his daily routine while the bride talks and visit the vendors all by herself. Ladies! You see, some guys are very homely and are good with domestics and organizing but really don’t know how to come in or get involved. And hey! Guys your ladies needs you to be involved, they want  you to give an opinion about the colours, they need your negotiating skills, and they want you to be by them every step of the planning stage at least to give some compliment, like “wow! Babes I didn’t know you can negotiate this much, or dear, that was a good choice with the florist” Actually many couples don’t realize this but this will probably be the fist major project of your lives together as a couple, and working together goes a long way to binding you two, thereby improving your r...
