Problem is the person you tell your problem.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked who can know it?

LET ILLUSTRATE IT IN A PRACTICAL WAY

In the bustling city of Lagos State, Nigeria, there existed a group of friends who were known throughout the town as the Unfriendly Friends. Despite their name, they were a tightly-knit group who had been friends for as long as they could remember. They were an eclectic mix of individuals, each with their own unique personalities and quirks.

One member of the group was Ayo, a young man with a mischievous streak and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he went. He was always the one to come up with wild ideas and get the group into sticky situations. Despite his sometimes brash demeanor, Ayo was fiercely loyal to his friends and would do anything for them.

Another member of the Unfriendly Friends was Fatima, a quiet and reserved girl with a love for books and all things mystical. She possessed a hidden talent for casting spells and had a knack for predicting the future. Fatima was the voice of reason in the group, always cautioning her friends against getting too carried away with their antics.

Then there was Kola, the joker of the group who never took anything seriously. He was always cracking jokes and making his friends laugh, even in the most tense of situations. Kola had a heart of gold and would go to great lengths to make sure his friends were happy, even if it meant sacrificing his own happiness.

The final member of the Unfriendly Friends was Zara, a fiery and independent young woman who was not afraid to speak her mind. She was a force to be reckoned with and had a strong sense of justice. Zara was always the first to stand up for her friends when they were in trouble, and she would not hesitate to put anyone in their place if they crossed her or her friends.

Together, the Unfriendly Friends ruled the streets of Lagos State with their unpredictable behavior and wild adventures. They were known for causing mischief wherever they went, much to the dismay of the town's residents. Despite their reputation, the Unfriendly Friends were always there for each other, no matter what.

One fateful day, a mysterious stranger appeared in Lagos State. He was tall and handsome, with piercing blue eyes and a charming smile. The Unfriendly Friends were immediately intrigued by the stranger, but Zara was apprehensive. She had a gut feeling that there was something off about him, but her friends dismissed her concerns.

The stranger quickly wormed his way into the group, charming them with his smooth talk and exciting stories. Ayo was especially taken with the stranger, eager to learn more about him and his adventures. Fatima was cautious, sensing a dark energy emanating from the stranger, while Kola was just happy to have a new friend to laugh and joke with.

As the days passed, strange things began happening in Lagos State. People started disappearing without a trace, and rumors of dark magic spread throughout the town. Zara grew increasingly suspicious of the stranger, convinced that he was behind the disappearances. She tried to warn her friends, but they were too enamored with the stranger to listen.

One night, Zara woke up to find the stranger standing over her with a wicked grin on his face. She realized too late that he was a powerful sorcerer who had been using dark magic to control her friends. The stranger revealed his true intentions - to harness the power of the Unfriendly Friends for his own gain.

Zara knew she had to act fast to save her friends and the town from the stranger's evil plans. She called upon her own powers of justice and righteousness, channeling all her energy into breaking the stranger's hold over her friends. With a burst of light and energy, the spell was broken, and the Unfriendly Friends were free once more.

Together, they faced off against the stranger in an epic battle of good versus evil. With Fatima's mystical powers, Ayo's cunning strategies, Kola's quick wit, and Zara's fierce determination, they were able to defeat the stranger and banish him from Lagos State forever.

From that day on, the Unfriendly Friends were hailed as heroes in the town, revered for their bravery and loyalty. They continued to have wild adventures and cause mischief, but they always made sure to use their powers for good and protect the people of Lagos State from any future threats.

And so, the Unfriendly Friends lived on, stronger and closer than ever before, bound by the bonds of friendship and united in their quest to protect their beloved city from darkness and evil.

WHO ARE THE GOSSIPPERS?

A gossiper is someone who enjoys talking about other people, especially their private lives, in a casual and eager manner. Gossipers may also spread rumors and enjoy hearing the latest news about their friends.

The word "gossip" comes from the Old English word godsibb, which means "sponsor" or "godparent". In the 16th century, the word came to mean someone who enjoys idle talk, or a newsmonger or tattler.

Some reasons people gossip include: To bond with others, To entertain themselves, To exchange information, To vent emotions, and To maintain social order.

Although it can be difficult to deal with gossipers, you can control how you respond to them.

SHORT STORY RELATED

In the vibrant city of Lagos, Abiola and Shile were best friends who shared a deep bond that seemed unbreakable. They were both known for their kindness, intelligence, and loyalty to each other. But there was one friend in their group who always seemed to stir up trouble - Joy.

Joy was the life of the party, always laughing and cracking jokes. But she had a tendency to gossip about everyone she knew, often spreading rumors and causing drama wherever she went. Despite her flaws, Abiola and Shile loved Joy like a sister and tried to look past her faults.

One day, the trio decided to meet up in the bustling area of Ikeja in Central Lagos. They were excited to catch up and spend the day exploring the shops and cafes in the area. As they walked through the crowded streets, Joy couldn't help but gossip about the people they passed by. She would whisper scandalous stories in Abiola and Shile's ears, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Abiola and Shile chuckled at Joy's antics, but secretly felt a twinge of guilt for indulging in her gossip. They knew it wasn't right to talk about others behind their backs, but Joy's charisma was hard to resist. As they reached a busy intersection, Joy suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes widening in panic.

Oh no, my purse! Joy cried out, frantically patting her pockets. She realized that her wallet, containing her entire month's salary, was missing. Abiola and Shile looked at each other in shock, knowing that Joy's habit of gossiping had caused her to become an easy target for pickpockets in the crowded area.

Tears welled up in Joy's eyes as she realized the gravity of the situation. She had been so caught up in spreading rumors and talking about others that she had forgotten to protect her own belongings. Abiola and Shile comforted their distraught friend, reassuring her that they would do everything they could to help her find her wallet.

Together, the trio retraced their steps through the bustling streets of Ikeja, asking passersby if they had seen Joy's missing wallet. But as the hours passed by, it became clear that the wallet was gone, lost to the depths of the city. Joy's heart sank as she realized the consequences of her gossiping ways.

Abiola and Shile decided to take Joy back to their apartment to calm her down and figure out a plan. They brewed some tea and sat down together, the tension in the air palpable. Joy was wracked with guilt for her carelessness, but Abiola and Shile knew that they needed to support their friend in her time of need.

As they sat in silence, a sudden flash of light filled the room, causing the trio to shield their eyes. When they opened them, they couldn't believe what they saw - a mystical creature with shimmering wings stood before them, radiating a powerful aura of joy and light.

I am the Spirit of Joy, here to help those in need, the creature spoke in a gentle, melodic voice. I have seen the troubles that have befallen your friend, but worry not, for I bring with me a gift of hope.

Abiola, Shile, and Joy looked at each other in awe, unsure of what was happening. The Spirit of Joy waved its hand, conjuring a shimmering portal that seemed to lead to another world.

Step through this portal, and you will find the answers you seek, the Spirit of Joy said, its words echoing through the room.

Without hesitation, Abiola, Shile, and Joy stepped through the portal, their hearts filled with a sense of wonder and curiosity. As they emerged on the other side, they found themselves in a magical realm filled with dazzling colors and enchanting sights.The Spirit of Joy appeared before them once more, its wings glowing with ethereal light.

In this realm, you will find the true meaning of joy and friendship, the spirit said, smiling warmly at the trio. Remember that gossiping only brings pain and sorrow, but true joy comes from lifting each other up and supporting one another.

Abiola, Shile, and Joy listened intently to the spirit's words, feeling a newfound sense of determination and purpose. They knew that they had to change their ways and embrace the true essence of joy and friendship.

As they bid farewell to the magical realm and returned to their apartment in Lagos, Abiola, Shile, and Joy made a pact to always support each other and spread positivity instead of gossip. They knew that their bond was stronger than any rumor or scandal, and that true joy could only be found in the love and kindness they shared with one another.

From that day on, Abiola, Shile, and Joy became inseparable, their friendship blossoming into a beacon of light and joy in the bustling city of Lagos. And as they walked through the streets of Ikeja once more, they knew that they had learned a valuable lesson - that true happiness comes from nurturing the bonds of friendship and letting go of the shadows of gossip that once plagued their hearts.

READ ANOTHER SHORT RELATED STORYLINE

Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Lagos, there were two old friends named Sile and Daniel. They had been close friends since their college days, where they had shared many memories and experiences together. However, after their school examinations, they had to part ways as they both went to different universities to pursue their dreams.

Sile decided to study Linguistics and History at the prestigious University of Benin, while Daniel chose to study Agriculture at the Federal University of Abeokuta in Ogun State. Despite the distance between them, they managed to keep in touch and stayed connected through phone calls and occasional visits during holidays.

After years of hard work and dedication, Sile and Daniel finally graduated from their respective universities. However, when they reunited, Daniel was shocked to see how much his old friend had changed. Sile had been influenced by the university environment and had gotten involved in some shady activities.

Sile had joined a cult and was also involved in internet fraud, commonly known as Yahoo. His behavior had become erratic, and he seemed to be living a dangerous lifestyle. However, Daniel decided to overlook these changes and tried to enjoy their reunion.

One day, a mutual friend of theirs was getting married in Ikoyi, and both Sile and Daniel were invited to the wedding. Excited to catch up and reminisce about their college days, the two friends were looking forward to the event. However, little did they know that their reunion would take a dark turn.

As they arrived at the wedding venue, Sile offered to drive them around in his car since Daniel's car was undergoing repairs. After the wedding ceremony, as they were sitting in the car chatting and laughing, two well-dressed gentlemen approached them.

Excuse me, are you Mr. Sile? one of the men asked, looking at Sile with a stern expression.

Sile's face turned pale, and he hesitated for a moment before replying, Yes, that's me. Can I help you with something?

The men informed Sile that he was a wanted man by the police for his involvement in illegal activities, including fraud and gang-related crimes. Without warning, they handcuffed both Sile and Daniel and took them to the nearest police station for questioning.

Daniel was shocked and bewildered by the turn of events. He had no idea about Sile's criminal activities and felt betrayed by his friend's actions. As they sat in the police station, waiting for further interrogation, Daniel couldn't help but reflect on their friendship and how much things had changed over the years.

It took Daniel six long months before his family finally found out about his whereabouts. During that time, he had lost all hope of ever being released and returning to his normal life. It was a difficult period for him, but eventually, he was able to clear his name and prove his innocence.

After his release, Daniel decided to move away from the city and start afresh. He cut ties with his old friends and focused on rebuilding his life. The whole experience had taught him a valuable lesson about the importance of choosing the right path and staying true to oneself.

As for Sile, he was sentenced to several years in prison for his crimes. He had let his greed and ambition cloud his judgment, leading him down a dangerous and destructive path. He regretted his actions and wished he had made better choices in life.

In the end, the story of Sile and Daniel served as a cautionary tale about the consequences of making wrong decisions and straying from the right path. It was a reminder that true friendship should be based on trust, honesty, and loyalty, and that one should always strive to do the right thing, no matter the circumstances.

WHY DO YOU HAVE ENEMIES ?

Enemies are the people who, in one way or another, don’t want you to succeed. They want to see everything that you stand for and all that you’ve built fail.

Or just as easily, they might be intimidated by your ambition and willingness to create your legacy.

I found that anybody who wants to cut you down usually falls into one of three categories:

The ones open and loud about their hatred for you

The ones who pretend to be friends but are trying to backstab you

And most dangerously, the ones who aren’t even aware that they’re working against you

Whoever these people and their motives are…

If you don’t identify them as enemy of the empire they WILL cause damage to your empire.

The Openly Hostile Enemies

This type of enemy is relatively easy to identify. They are loud about their hatred for your cause.

These enemies openly tear you down just because they use that power to build themselves up.

ILLUSTRATION WITH SHORT STORY

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there were two sisters named Kehinde and Taye. Kehinde was blessed with a shining star that brought her financial success wherever she went. Her hands had the magical ability to bring growth and prosperity to any business she touched. On the other hand, Taye was gifted with eloquence and wit, able to charm anyone with her words.

Despite being sisters, Kehinde and Taye were as different as night and day. Kehinde's financial prowess made her the envy of many, including her close friend Lola. Lola couldn't understand why Kehinde was always the one to succeed in business, while she struggled to make ends meet. Her jealousy and resentment towards Kehinde grew with each passing day.

Lola's attitude towards Kehinde began to sour, and their friendship started to crumble. She couldn't stand to see Kehinde's financial success and felt like she was always in her shadow. The more she compared herself to Kehinde, the more she resented her for her financial stature.

One day, a dark cloud descended upon the land, casting a shadow over Kehinde's shining star. She started to notice that people who were once friendly towards her now looked at her with envy and disdain. Everywhere she went, she could feel the eyes of her enemies upon her, waiting for her to stumble and fall.

As Kehinde's enemies grew in number, so did the challenges she faced. Business deals started falling through, and opportunities seemed to slip through her fingers. She couldn't understand why her once bright future was now clouded in darkness.

Meanwhile, Taye watched from the sidelines, unsure of how to help her sister. She could see the toll that the jealousy and resentment of others were taking on Kehinde. Despite her own gifts and talents, she couldn't seem to shake the feeling of being overshadowed by her sister's financial success.

As the sisters struggled to navigate the complex web of envy and resentment that surrounded them, a glimmer of hope appeared on the horizon. A wise old sage appeared before them, offering a solution to their problems.

The sage revealed that the key to overcoming their enemies lay in unity and understanding. He explained that their enemies were born out of jealousy and insecurity, and that by showing compassion and empathy towards them, they could turn their enemies into allies.

Armed with this knowledge, Kehinde and Taye set out to mend the broken relationships in their lives. They reached out to Lola and other former friends who had turned against them, offering a hand of friendship and understanding.

Slowly but surely, the tide began to turn. The jealousy and resentment that once threatened to destroy them started to fade away, replaced by love and acceptance. Kehinde's financial stature was no longer a source of envy, but a source of inspiration for others.

As the sisters basked in the glory of their newfound unity, the dark cloud that had loomed over them lifted. The shining star that once threatened to burn them now illuminated their path to a brighter future.

And so, Kehinde and Taye learned that the true power of their gifts lay not in the financial success they brought, but in the love and unity they could inspire in others. In the end, it was not their enemies that defined them, but the strength of their bonds with one another.

✓ YOUR s*x OR s****l ORIENTATION

For instance, a person may be hated because of her beauty for instance.

LET ILLUSTRATE WITH SHORT STORY LINE

In the once peaceful and harmonious society of Edenia, there lived a young woman named Favor who was known far and wide for her unparalleled beauty. With her mesmerizing blue eyes, cascading golden locks, and flawless porcelain skin, she was the epitome of perfection. But what truly set Favor apart was not just her physical appearance, but her kind heart, generous spirit, and unwavering positivity that radiated from within.

Favor had two close friends, Lily and Rose, who had been by her side since childhood. The three of them were inseparable, sharing laughter, tears, and secrets that only true friends could understand. But as time passed, jealousy began to rear its ugly head, casting a dark shadow over their once unbreakable bond.

It all started one fateful afternoon when Lily and Rose found themselves in a heated argument over a trivial matter. What began as a harmless disagreement soon escalated into a full-blown feud, with accusations and insults flying back and forth like arrows in a battlefield. And amidst the chaos, Favor found herself caught in the crossfire, unwittingly becoming the object of their animosity.

As the days went by, Lily and Rose's envy towards Favor grew like a poisonous vine, twisting their thoughts and actions into something dark and sinister. They began whispering behind Favor's back, spreading rumors and lies that tarnished her reputation and cast doubt on her character. They would eye her with disdain, their smiles turning into sneers whenever Favor walked by, oblivious to the betrayal festering in their hearts.

But Lily and Rose's envy did not stop at mere words and glares. No, they were determined to bring Favor down from her pedestal of beauty and grace, to shatter the illusion of perfection that surrounded her. And so, they devised a wicked plan to test Favor's resilience and expose her flaws for all to see.

One fateful night, as the stars twinkled like diamonds in the velvet sky, Lily and Rose lured Favor into a deserted alleyway under the pretense of a surprise birthday celebration. But as Favor walked into the dimly lit space, a sense of foreboding crept over her like a shadow, chilling her to the core. And before she could react, Lily and Rose's true intentions were revealed in a cruel and merciless manner.

They taunted and mocked Favor, hurling insults and accusations that cut deeper than any blade could. They accused her of vanity, of using her beauty to manipulate and deceive those around her. They laughed at her tears, reveling in her pain and humiliation as if it were a twisted game to them.

But as Favor stood before her former friends, her spirit broken and her heart shattered, a strange and wondrous thing happened. The air around her began to shimmer and glow with an otherworldly light, swirling and dancing like fireflies in a summer night. And before Lily and Rose's astonished eyes, Favor transformed into a being of pure radiance and beauty, her true essence shining like a beacon in the darkness.

In that moment, Lily and Rose realized the error of their ways, the folly of their jealousy and hatred towards someone who had done nothing but show them love and kindness. They fell to their knees, tears streaming down their cheeks as they begged Favor for forgiveness, for redemption in the face of their betrayal.

And Favor, with grace and compassion in her eyes, extended a hand towards her former friends, offering them a chance to mend the bonds that had been broken. For she knew that true beauty lay not in perfect appearance or flawless features, but in the depths of one's soul, in the capacity to forgive and be forgiven, to love and be loved in return.

And so, in the heart of that deserted alleyway, under the watchful gaze of the stars above, Favor, Lily, and Rose embraced one another in a moment of reconciliation and unity, their friendship renewed and strengthened by the trials they had faced. And as they walked back into the light of the world, hand in hand, they knew that no jealousy or envy could ever again come between them, for they had found the true beauty that lies within the bonds of friendship and love.
