Balancing Emotion and Logic

Balancing Emotion and Logic

A bright young woman found herself in an entanglement with a certain young man (her boyfriend) and psychoactive substances, which made her fall out with her family and out of her job. They both needed treatment and instead of checking herself into rehab, she chose to pay for his treatment while she stayed back and continued tumbling down the dark tunnel. When he came out of rehab, he distanced himself from her because he didn't want to risk a relapse. She was left alone to figure herself out. Why do people (particularly the female gender) place sentiments over rational thinking, especially in relationship matters? Kindly listen to our submission and tell us what you think.

Abejoye S5 Finale Review: Should Laide be blamed for Bamidele's actions?

As we anticipate Season 6 of Abejoye, a fantastic Mount Zion Series, we took time to review an aspect of Season 5. In Season 1, a guy cheated on his wife with a "sister in the Lord", repented and moved on, but somehow "went back to his vomit" in Season 5. As it played out, it appeared like his wife played a role in his "slip". But...was it really her fault? Kindly listen and also tell us what you think. Don't forget to:
