BEAUTY FADES

“Call me beauty; I am black and beautiful, cutie cutie, Arewa, pretty baby…..” Those are words from some ladies. They just believe the greatest asset they've got is their beauty. I LAUGH

            Beauty is the quality of being pleasing to the senses or to the mind; a pleasing feature. In this article I will like to talk about the outer beauty.

            Years back when I was in primary school, my Yoruba teacher taught a topic titled “Oge Sise Ni Ile Yoruba” meaning “Fashion in Yoruba Land”. During his teaching he mentioned a statement which I will never forget; he said “Oge ma n sii” meaning “Beauty Fades”. 

As a lady, take your time to look at your physical feature carefully, you will realize that does features are not always the same year after year. You notice that sometimes you will appear very beautiful and another time you won’t be very beautiful.

            Remember you grow from being a girl to a lady, from a lady to a woman and then to an aged person. Your beauty can never be the same through this period. I will say that you should not let your outer feature get into your head. Many ladies now spend more time in front of the mirror trying to apply make up to look very beautiful. I am not saying it is bad to make up, because we have our preferences. But I will advice you take more time to develop the inner beauty. Do not let your beauty be of the outward appearance only.

            Beautify the real you inside of you. I understand that some of our ladies out there apply these make up all because they want to look attractive to the opposite sex. Take a look at the opposite sex. How many times do they you see a guy doing this. As virtuous ladies we should think more of leading the revolution. We should think more about how to improve the society, nation and the world.

Think about it virtuous ladies; take a look at the great women of this generation. See how they have made impacts. There is time for everything. Think about your future and the children you will bring forth. When you take time to develop your inner beauty, it will overwhelm your outer beauty. Make a great difference with your personality. Don’t forget, BEAUTY FADES
