TRUE DEFINITION OF FRIENDSHIP

Tade, a young vibrant man, who just spent two years in University out of his 4 years program, was found in a rape scene and declared guilty of raping a final year student, named Juliana Okafor, the promising child of Senator Okafor after a thorough investigation

On the other hand, Tade was the only child of Pastor Francis, an anointed man of God, whose ministry has thrived across the globe.

With tears clouding the eyes of Tade, he said the man I have become today was wired by my parents

He said when I needed their help while growing up, they were busy jumping from one Christian program to another one and neglected me to live my life under the tutorship of grandma

They didn't know those times how easily deceived grandma, 65 years old woman who was brought from the Village

They were not there as friends, to relate with me when I needed their emotional and spiritual care

Sometimes they left me in the hands of Bro  Dimeji, the one who trained me how to rape girls if they refused to give me access to their paradise

Bro Dimeji looked very innocent but dreadful inside, they were not there when Bro Tunji was forcing me to smoke Indian helm

I could remember when I wanted to talk to my dad, guess his response, he is very tired now

They weren't there when I was wallowing in sin, they were busy saving souls while the souls of their children were being ordered by the wind of sin

They couldn't spend quality time with us, they believed it was all about money

The only verse I knew was John 3 vs 16

They were busy building other people's lives while theirs were gradually crumbling down and they never knew

Their boats were sinking and they were busy spraying seeds into other people's lives

They were not there as friends, they are strangers to me, they made me who I am today, they have ruined my future with their bare hands

The question is, who is your true friend?

If you call someone a friend who can not scold you with the truth, he or she is your enemy receiving training from Satan, I stand to be corrected

The purpose of friendship is defeated, if you are doing something wrong and your friends couldn't tell you the truth

Imagine how the life of Tade was fading away into the land of forgetfulness and his parents were not there as friends, of course, he was much trained in the hands of Bro Dimeji when he was growing, the one who was silently ruining his life under the nose of Tade's parents


I am here imagining how many lives are gradually ending to destruction and you sit there watching your friends displaying immoralities and you couldn't do anything

When confusion sets in on the journey of my life, they were not there as friends to help me solve the puzzles

They threw my life into the hands of Bro Dimeji who was gradually squeezing my life like a piece of paper

When I needed to hear the truth from them, they were not there as friends to scold me with the truth

Friendship is not only about popping champagne, not just about uploading pictures on status


Friendship is more than that, do you have that friend who walks up to you and says Babe, we need to settle some matters spiritually

Who says it's not good to have fun, the fact is, the purpose of friendship is more pressing than that

Friendship is about trimming lives, lifting lives and impacting the world

Friendship is not selfish

Hey dear, if you have a friend who stays with you in the thick and thin of your life, don't let them slip away from your life, they are very hard to come by

A friend who always confronts you and tells you the truth, don't let them slip away from your fingers, be good to them and do all you can within your reach to reach and keep them

A friend who has been there with you in your darkest moment, don't let them go

A friend who has once helped in the little way they could, don't break the connection


If you found a friend who still remains as a friend and does not walk away when your sky is still announcing grey, you better hold them tight, cos if you don't you might regret losing such a spotless friend

Be good to them  too, don't sit on the fence while waiting for their skies to turn blue if you do, you are not a true friend
