Dear Aunty Temilolu, I love reading your articles from the beginning to the end no matter how long it is. I must say your write-ups changed my thinking and way of life. I’m now born-again and don’t care what the world thinks about me! Even if all the guys out there reject me for refusing to engage in sexual immorality with them, I’m most satisfied with the love of God! Thanks so much for shaping my life. May God reward and strengthen you to write more!

My darling, precious, glorious, dignified, world-famous and heavenly celebrated Nigerian sisters,
Times have been hard for so many since the beginning of time, however, there’s no time in history when moral values was ignored even by a good number of parents and caution thrown to the wind as this age! Many parents have not raised their children well in this regard.
Isn’t it rather appalling to find an expensive phone with a girl whose parents can barely afford to pay her school fees? Or find her wearing the trendiest of clothes to lectures? Fathers may not know the clothing items their daughters have, however an average mother knows her daughter’s wardrobe/what she bought her.
Yet you find so many girls going home with clothes their parents never bought them and their mothers aren’t bothered to question them! There are so many young ladies on campus whose parents have never bought a car yet they have cars gifted to them by boyfriends.
And with the latest set of role models this generation of girls has, your thirst for material things/luxury has risen to a disturbing level such that most girls would rather concentrate on looking fabulous and sexy to attract and date rich guys/men than concentrate on their education/self-development!
If you ask me- there’s serious fire on the mountain! And if you carry these flamboyant life-style in your head and allow it consume your soul and make you join the band wagon of so-called “happening babes” when your parents can barely afford to pay your school fees and even feed you and your siblings, believe me, the stupid, bad devil would not only make you do things that would mess you up and divert your glorious destiny; you may not end up well!
Yes! I know some women who were really “happening” in their early 20’s, flying first class flights all over the world, painting the town red with latest designer wears and brand new Mercedes Benz cars who are now penniless in their 50’s! It appears their potentials to make money and be self-reliant disappeared! Besides, do you even know the type of star you carry and what it would take to manifest?
We are at an age where girls below 16 readily sleep with guys for a paltry sum of N500 because most of them don’t know any better!
A lot of parents are terribly submerged in their economic hardship such that they can’t be bothered to look after their offspring who should be their compensation and goldmine in future.
Yet they allow them rot – yes, these girls rot away while they should be making the most of their virtues, vivid imagination, super innate skills and potentials to chart a course that will give them all the money in the world in future!
Unfortunately, a lot of you can’t endure hardship because you don’t have enough conviction from your parents/closest relatives while too many of you are suffocated by the glamour on social media and pressured by your peers who are running after wealth that could avail them the good things of life sleeping around with all sorts of men, exposing their destinies to a demonic invasion that will ensure they never live out the glorious life they are entitled to.
How sad! Girls…girls…girls, when I tell you contentment and endurance can give you the world, I KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! You will have a change of mindset at the end of this series! Please share this article and don’t miss next Sunday’s! Before then, may God open your eyes to see your wondrous future!
