HOSPITALITY: LADY AT SHUNEM

‘Stranger Danger’ is an expression that warns people about the danger of receiving or talking with unfamiliar people. Usually, we teach our children to be wary of strangers, considering the wicked world in which we live and because of bizarre stories of strangers inflicting harm on unsuspecting Good Samaritans. In spite of ‘stranger danger,’ St. Benedict gave a rule of hospitality to his fellow monks. He says, “Every guest who comes to the monastery shall be received as if he were Christ himself.” Jim Forest, author of ‘A Saint for Our Age’ rightly says, “There is not only hospitality of the door but also of the face and heart.” Hausa people say, a smiling face is a better welcome than the offer of a mat (Shimfidar fuska tafi ta tabarma). There are several stories in scriptures where people received their blessing for their welcoming attitude and for approaching prophets and priests who were passing by. The story of Elisha and the Lady at Shunem is a good example from the Old Testament

"Even the obstacles on my way, I predict them before those that will bring them will start to think about them. I plan for betrayal, I plan for backstabbing, I also plan for reunion & forgiveness long before they happen.I expect nothing, I expect anything, I expect everything"- Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.  My dearest Jagaban,  You know very well that I have always liked and respected you. You will also recall that a few years ago I warned you that everything that is being done to you today would eventually be done to you given the choices you made at the time.  I bear you no malice or ill-will but in view of what is happening in your political party and given the fact that your good friend, co-conspirator and collaborator, President Muhammadu Buhari, has finally thrown you under the bus and dumped you, I am constrained to write the following.  The bitter truth is that you predicted NOTHING and you saw NOTHING. The only thing you saw were your own vain delusions and insatia

See The Picture Of A Girl Who Said She Is 16

Remember a young girl on Twitter named @PreshyA33, who took to her twitter handle dayd ago, to make a shocking revelation that got the platform into a frenzy, as she said she is 16 plus and her boyfriend is 39. She further explained her decision of getting involved with someone way older, and said she does not want to get involved with boys of her age, dubbing them "small boys". Many people had judge the young girl as to the age difference not being healthy, with her being a minor (not up to 18) and calling the relationship child abuse, with no dignity and foundation. The mixed reactions are comprehendible, given that she announced her age by herself, one would not tell by looking at her, with her physical appearance so much contradicting her age. However, that is not the case, as I've been able to come out with beautiful pictures of the girl, she really is beautiful, one, that will catch the attention of many. If she does not tell you her age, you won't believe until
