I attended the men's conference yesterday, and one conversation stayed with me. Geoffrey Mosiria spoke about the stupid decisions men make, and he gave an illustration that landed hard. We ignore everything because of sexual desire. A woman has five children by three different men. The red flags are standing there in daylight. But because a man is sexually deprived, he chooses not to see them. He brings her into his house. Soon the children follow. And that is where the trouble begins. Not because children are a problem. Because he never made a decision. He reacted to an urge and called it a relationship. Then something worse happens. Children arrive between them. Now he cannot leave. So you find men living in quiet sorrow, unhappy, knowing they could have done better, trapped by a choice made without thinking. Another thing struck me during that conversation. The importance of a father in the life of a girl. Many women who grew up without a masculine figure struggle with authority in relationships. That is not an insult, it is an observation about how we are all shaped by what we did not receive. And there was a practical piece of wisdom shared. Look at the mother. Character often reveals itself there. The past does not lie. So when you see a string of red flags, you already have your answer. But we are so afraid of leaving that we stay. And sometimes those situations end in tragedy, with intelligent men rotting in prison over something they could have walked away from. It is not wrong to leave. Assess properly. Take your time. Do not let desire make your decisions. Shout out to Keith Muoki, Jacob Aliet, and Dr Ofweneke. We need more of these conversations. — Elvis W.

So yesterday I attended the men's conference. And one conversation stayed with me. Geoffrey Mosiria spoke about the stupid decisions that we make as men. And he gave an illustration that landed hard. We ignore everything because of sexual desire. A woman has five children by three different men. The red flags are standing there in daylight. But because a man is sexually deprived, he chooses not to see them. He brings her into his house. Soon the children follow. And that is where the trouble begins. Not because you're sexually deprived, you actually get to a point where you ignore all those red flags and you bring someone into your house. And soon enough, they bring their children. And that is where the trouble begins. And you find that most of these women that they cannot leave because they made the decision, they made the decision that has actually brought children, they cannot leave. Right? And now you find them living in hardship, living in sorrowful, sad, not happy because they honestly know they can actually get to do better. But there are decisions that they made before checking who this particular person is. And I think that's one of the things I learned, especially being part of the men's conference yesterday, listening to it. It's the importance of a father in the life of a girl. Most of the time, you find that most of these women who have not experienced masculine figures in their lives, they will have a problem adjusting to authority. They don't listen to you. And it's very easy to actually get to see who a woman is by looking at the mother. Who is the mother of this child? What is her character? Because for you to live a good life and be able to focus on what is important in your life as a man, you have to make the right decision with the person who is actually coming to join you. Whether it is in marriage or whatever you want to call it. Be careful about the decision that you make. It's about assessing the character, the behavior, the mentality of the person that you are bringing into your life. You know, women are judged by their past. Men are judged by their future. So the past is not going to lie. So when you see a string of red flags that are actually just showing over there, then you know that the right decision you have to make. Sometimes we are so afraid of living that we get stuck in a situation that is always going to cause more trouble for you as a man. And eventually, you see things that are happening. You find men stabbing their wives. And then you wonder, how did that happen? Sometimes we failed to ignore the red flags. We are afraid of walking away. And then the consequences, they end up being dire. You find very intelligent people now rotting in prison because of things that they would have had control over. It is not wrong for you to quit and leave. It is also not wrong for you to assess and reassess and check who this particular person is. Take the time, don't rush. Don't be that kind of person who is driven by sexual needs and sexual activities. I was very happy to be part of the event yesterday. Shout out to Keith Moki, Jacob Bali and Dr. Oponke. This was something very good. I think much more of these events should actually happen.
