A saying goes thus that it is our clothes that cover our nakedness, and something similar to it says that an outward appearance covers a whole lot of secrets about an individual. Imagine a guy dating a lady who has been pretending for years but she is a green snake under green grass, only to get wedded and started exhibiting her real attitude. Things are happening everywhere and we just have to be careful who we choose to move with. Some are so good at pretending, and with their cunny ways, lure a victim. We get shocked to know that an individual is the opposite of who we thought he or she could be. A fake life in disguise! People would go to any lengths to be famous and popular.
With what is going on, especially with girls running around with some guys who are into internet fraud, known as "Yahoo", they have been clouded with the riches they flaunt and in the end, are victims of being used diabolically. Not all that glitters is gold. Even when you want to buy something, you need to be careful not to be deceived by merely looking at the outside alone. Something may look so good on the outside, just like a green apple, but opening it, you find it so rotten. It's enough to be extra careful in how we deal with people because there are lot of pretences and fakes out there.
A guy was arrested last week and the news went viral. He was a student from the school I graduated from. He owned a barbing salon which he used as a disguise but was involved in internet fraud, not only that, he went diabolical with it. They found a head of a human being in his apartment and that was how he was caught. God wanted to expose him and it happened this way — His girlfriend who has been happy staying with him for a long while, happy she had got a man who has money. The guy only told her about his barbing salon and that is how he made his money. This lady believed him because she wanted the money and to be known as a rich guy's girlfriend. She came to visit him and immediately, this guy placed the head of a being in a box and hid it outside his room so this lady won't know. After a while, she left and while the guy was seeing her off, he forgot to bring back the box inside.
Some kids were playing ball in the compound and suddenly, the ball was kicked in the direction of the box. Curious kids, they wanted to see what was there. They opened it and found the head with soap all over it. He bath with the soap every night. The children screamed and alerted everyone including the landlord. They waited for the guy to return and was arrested alongside his girlfriend whom they knew with him.
Now, the innocent lady has been arrested too and implicated. They haven't released her till now. Imagine what she has put herself into. This is one reason girls should be careful because it is not all rich people that worked their way through legit means. It is not all that glitter on the outside is gold. Many people are fake and what they do secretly is beyond any human until the secret is opened.
Some ladies are fond of squeezing their way into men who have wealth but aren't wise to observe first. They want to wear designer and ride luxurious cars but are too stupid and blind to see that they are being lured, and once they are used, that is the end.
The world is so cruel and the only way we can protect ourselves is to be contented with what we have. Be careful who you go out with. Many people won't dare say much about them but without being sensitive and observant, you will only fall into their traps and that is the end. You might be lucky to come out alive and you might not. They say a word is always enough for the wise. Let's always remember that some gold are fake while some are real.
