Nigerian Accent

"Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces" Proverbs 13:20 (MSG) "Do not be deceived: “Bad Company corrupts good morals.” " 1 Corinthians 15:33 (AMP) italics and emphasis mine

Fifteen years abroad yet when I speak English I am told l have a distinct Tanzanian accent to my tone and pronunciations of certain words. We can tell some heavy accent like Nigerian, Irish, English, Scottish, South African. What fascinates me is that people with accent don't know it, they think others without it are the ones with accentJ!

We take up more than accent from the people we spend time with; we pick mannerism, attitude, certain tendencies and beliefs, paradigms (view of life). No wonder people from certain areas are prone to be good in business while in other areas are not. It takes conscious efforts to undress negative influence we have picked along the way.

My Lift, My Drift

"“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil"…she took some and ate it." Genesis 3:4-6 NIV italics and emphasis mine

If you are granted lift in someone's car, best you accept that you will be at the mercy of their itinerary. I can't imagine giving someone lift in my car and they dictate the route and coffee break!? be sure you will be offloaded in the next stop, like extra baggage.

When you ride in someone's mind-set, adopting their philosophy, better believe that you will be at the mercy of that philosophy. Philosophy like – it's because I am black, poor, born in Africa, an educated, not connected? have you taken ride in these cars? Alight now!
