Is Love Stil "It"??

Before I get into the crux of the matter I want to let you know that I love love and I’m not a hater but I’m a realist. I have put this view to a number of people and they agree but I am trying to start a worldwide conversation here so please at the end of this leave a comment.

A lot of people want to get married to the right person, we all know there is no perfect one but at least the one you can bear the one you love and it feels so wrong to get married to get married to someone you do not love (movies are doing a great job with the hash tag “true love prevails”) but hunis let’s get real for just a moment ok?

Whether you love a man or not you guys still get to fight, you are still going to get tired of him or her just as EVERY OTHER person in love has, its still going to get to that stage where its going to be the kids fees and books and no longer dates and gifts. Our grandparents played matchmakers for our parents and it seems to have turned out better than our “I will marry who I love” movement. By then the best chance was you liking your spouse and boom…in 9 months time they will come visiting lol.

I am not saying we have to be matched by our parents, I’m saying with the changing times love is losing its base as the prerequisite for marriage. If more than 50% of relationships are results of benefits other than love  then isn’t getting married to someone you love just a bonus since everything seems to happen same whether you love them or not?

Bih Claudine just wants to be comfortable she says “I am no longer searching for love, marriage is a lifetime in the long run other things become more important so I really just want to be comfortable because I think we have all  been in that place where love is not enough.

That’s Claudine’s mind, what do you think? Love or Life????

October

October in Buea is no ordinary month.If you did not know this you are welcome.Its extra ordinary nature comes from that little extra.Extra fashion,extra languages,extra hostels and of course extra confusion. Do you get what im driving at??? HELLO !!! the freshmen are in town so the ever changing Molyko is going through change once more.
That is emphasis in the trends like denim shirts,maxi gowns,midi dresses,crop tops,body con dresses and the guys are just killing it with the faux leather shirts and trousers and loafers (some are authentic). Places like Bonga Juice are getting crazy descriptions and i dare not leave out the questions freshmen ask and i always quote UB because i prefer telling the truth with time i promise to get a hang of other schools.You know UB is big and easily overwhelming so confusion is almost inevitable. A freshman walks up to you and is like "where can i get the timetable of SMS?" and there is "how can we be attending classes in a restaurant?" and of course there is the long standing tradition of old students misdirecting the new ones to wrong places.
So to business people there is going to be turn over and the excuse of "them don close border dem" will work so much in their favour. To teachers its that time of the year again,words cannot even describe the excitement in freshmen so Oxford....more words please. For boys girls are around holding on to your old crush is going to be hard and girls....well good luck. Whatever it is everyone has a unique October experience especially socially. Those from boarding schools usually are given the rule book to avoid "rob" and if you didn't get the memo with time you are going to realise flip flops or "bathing slippers" aren't worn out of your house and looking "on point" is more necessary than a good C.A mark. Sorry guys that's Molyko for you,fall in line or out.
What about you? what was your October experience? Please share share share.......

Ring it Up

Finally the presidential grant of 50,000FCFA  to students is here. Can i just say it again "Finally".The president giving money to students in government higher institutions has become a usual thing so students in Cameroon can dare to dream about money coming from up above and why not go ahead and lend things and money from others? (well that is if your brains if worth 2.5 G.P.A)
So "ring it up " is something you are going to be hearing a lot of, well not the words but the intention will be the same.Girls are shopping and boys are "Following up headlines" (its something they say a lot,who knows what it ever means). For those who couldnt wait to get the money first,debt paying never sucked that much.
Those that want to keep it for fees are seen as the impossible (by the way "what?") and jeered by a lot friends but some people come from tough situations and those that did not pay fees the previous year,well you might wana deal with that before you get stuck in the clearance process.
Whatever we are all spending our money on , a lot of students want this to be clear,this money is not fees "It is scholarship money given to students by the president." This guy said it with such emphasis. Sharing is the hard but necessary part for most people. That is sharing amongst family members and maybe friends that did not get lucky.(2.5 G.P.A is not a guarantee).
You must have noticed me say "we"in the sentence about spending and clarity,thats because i got lucky again. Got myself a piece of clothing as a souvenir for the president Mr Paul Biya. I guess me and a whole lot of students around Cameroon now have a reason to say "Long Live the President"
