THE TEN SECRETS OF HAPPY COUPLES

These tips will obviously help your relationship.
Thank you Labalahive

Labalaba Hive

They might be 30, or 75. They come in all colors, shapes, sizes and income brackets. It doesn’t matter how long they’ve been together. Whatever the demographics, when you see a happy couple, you just know it!
How do these couples stay in love, in good times and in bad? Fortunately, the answer isn’t through luck or chance. As a result of hard work and commitment, they figure out the importance of the following relationship “musts.” Because few couples know about all of the musts, I think of them as the relationship “secrets.”

Happy Couples and Their Secrets

1. Develop a realistic view of committed relationships.

Recognize that the crazy infatuation you experienced when your romance was new won’t last. A deeper, richer relationship, and one that should still include romance, will replace it. A long-term relationship has ups and downs, and expecting it will be all sunny and roses…

Dawning Dawn….

I have heard stories of people being robbed. Heard of people being kidnapped. Heard of sadistic and gory tales of murder/assassination/ritual killing etc. Never for once thought I’d be a victim.

It all happened on Monday 6th November, 2017. I woke up at about 4..03am without an inkling that the day would be a sad one. I was supposed to meet with an NGO team at 7.00am somewhere around Lekki phase 1, Lagos. Being the early bird that I am, I told myself that i should be at Lekki phase 1 latest by 6.30am. After having my bath, I dressed up, said my prayers and headed to my b/stop. I got to my b/stop at 4.56am and waited till 5.06am before I was able to get a vehicle heading towards my destination. It was a red Toyota Previa Space bus. Being someone who goes to the island regularly, i didn’t have any qualms about boarding a private bus/vehicle. This is because at such time of the day, private vehicles usually go to the island at a reduced cost and it isn’t uncommon to see people board such vehicles.

On boarding the vehicle at my b/stop(Abule-Odu), i sat at the back in the middle of two well dressed “gentle men”. I was the only one who boarded the vehicle at my b/stop. On moving forward a little, another passenger got on at Egbeda b/stop. As the vehicle moved forward a little towards Mokola, I got the first slap/punch(couldn’t identify which it was). As I was about to say “oga, easy o…”(cuz I thought it was a mistake), the second slap/punch landed on my cheek. That was when it dawned on me that I don enter “one chance”. Next thing I heard was “face down & close your eyes”.

They beat me and searched my pockets and bag for phones, cash and all valuables they could find. At a point, I noticed that the vehicle stopped and one of them got off after they had taken my ATM cards forcefully from my wallet. Apparently, they dropped him off at a bank ATM because they now asked for my card pin. I forgot to mention that they had guns and knives on them. So, there was no need struggling with them or lying about my ATM card pin.

While all the beating and ransacking was going on, they were driving around. Eventually, the vehicle came to a halt and they warned that they are about dropping us(myself and the guy that boarded at Egbeda) and that if we make any sound, they would shoot us. Wetin concern me with make any sound, my thoughts was just to get off the vehicle and get home safe and sound. After some minutes, the door was opened and we were roughly pushed out. On gathering my senses, I realised we were dropped off at Gowon estate very close to Gemade estate gate. This was at exactly 5.54am. I had to beg an okada rider to take me home from there.

During the time the operation lasted, I was able to know through my instinct that they were policemen(they weren’t my age range). And the youngest person amongst them couldn’t have been less than 40 years of age. I pointed this out to the policemen at Idimu Police post when I went to lodge a complaint. Of course, the policemen at the station were angry with me that I could insinuate such a thing. In fact, they threatened to detain me for saying such. Oh! Did I also mention that the IPO at the station told me to bring money so they could “investigate” the case and send “signal” to the state Police command(whatever that means). I told them that such a demand coming from them is insensitive, that I walked from my house to their station to lodged a complain because I had no dime on me to take a cab/bus.

My initial fear was that they may be kidnappers or ritualists and the sad thoughts that I may never see my family & loved ones again crossed my mind. Thanks to God that it was just a robbery incident. And I am glad it didn’t go beyond me being robbed.

To those that visited, called & texted, thanks for your support, kindness and words of encouragement. May God in His infinite mercy protect, guide and bless us all.
