There is a particular mistake that most sports fans make during live matches. In the process of gaining the pleasure of witnessing a game physically, they make a critical mistake. The mistake I am talking about is having sex with harlots from that state or country, where the game was held.    Your main aim for coming to that country, state, or province is to view the game and relish the pleasure of the entertainment, and not to have sex and cause a problem that you may not be aware.

Understanding Temptation Temptation is the desire to do or have something that you know is wrong or bad. Temptation is an attraction to an action or an object that is absolutely wrong. To illustrate, while shopping you see a desirable object. The thought that you could easily steal the object invades your mind. However, when your conscience says no! And you dismiss the thought and move on. At that point you are a victor. But when your conscience says yes and you yield to that temptation, you have allowed the temptation to subdue you. You will find yourself doing the wrong thing and facing the repercussions.   Temptation is like a trade; it is like an offer made to you. Most times when people make an offer to you, you might instinctively discover what they want you to exchange for that offer. Or they might even tell you what you need to exchange before they grant you that offer. But when you see temptation and it's offer, it doesn't tell you to surrender anything for it...

The pains were much; the sufferings seemed endless, and tears flowed like a river. When every efforts to make things better proved futile, they hollered. The hollering was loud, but when listened to closely, one cannot tell its contrast with a sorrowful wail. The insincerity of our leaders, and the state of nature our country found itself, blinded their eyes to their future and hardened their hearts not to wait on their potentials. Hence, they were moved by hope that was like a mustard seed, to do whatever it takes to get to that land, where deceptive mouths attested to the milk and honey flowing there, but forgetting to tell them that the milk and honey had already soured. They wanted to be out of the country as soon as possible. They could no longer tolerate the mess in the country. They wanted to fly to that country where many had assured that it is better there. They didn't even mind if the country was better than their homeland or not. They just wanted to be out of...
