Have you ever wonder why people lie? Lie is a statement used intentionally for the purpose of deception, the act of communicating in lies is called lying. And I'm sure you know the person performing this act is called a LIAR.

People lie for so many reasons, that can't be overemphasized, some lie naturally. It's in their blood, some inherit it. Inheritance for some people. We have the following reasons why some people lie;
As Cover Up
People lie in order to be in a big position,in order for people to regard them as the biggest in town. To receive respect from the people not knowing it's just for a short period of time,Yoruba will say
"Bi iro ba lo logun odun, ojo kan lotito aba" meaning "
If a lie travels for 20 years, one day the truth will catch up. liars tend to forget that one day, their truth will be known.

**To be free from 'bondage' **
People lie in order to escape from bond.Can you imagine? In order to escape from bondage that the truth will soon be revealed.
For how long will people stop lying? And start telling the truth?
*Peer pressure
Do you know peer pressure too can inevitably make a LIAR. But nevertheless, it all boils down to the individual's discretion. If you are the one that can easily be swayed to do bad things, you will find yourself susceptible to suggestions. That's why they say
"Bad gangs corrupt good manner"

Extortion
This is very rampart among ladies. They lie in order to extort money from guys. I have a friend who lied to her boyfriend that she is pregnant and she demanded money from him for abortion.What do I do? Actually, the guy gave her the money but surely she will be caught in the act.
There is this friend of mine too that was in school before but no more in school due to some reason or the other, but she still tells people she is in school. I have advised her a lot to stop this behavior but she just won't listen.
Here you will know it's in her blood, only the grace of God can change her.

There are some certain things our lying act could stop us from achieving.
For instance;
People won't be of help to you when you have high rated yourself,whereas you know deep down you are nobody but claiming to be somebody,now tell me how do you want helpers to locate you?
Never!! Until you change the habit of yours,let people know the real you that will really take you a long way.
Stop the act of lying, it chases helpers from you!!! It won't take you anything to say the truth even the Bible says "Say the truth and let it set you free"
