What does LIVING really MEAN to you?

It is a well known fact that most couples claim to know their spouse like the back of their hands.  Some could go as far as telling you in detail what their spouse loves in terms of food, colour, sizes in shoes and clothes, their dislikes and mood swings.  When the chips are down, you hear same spouse screaming their heads off that they do not know their partner could do this or that or go to such length. In some cases, some spouses do know  each other to the extent that when they tell you, this is how my  husband/wife will react in certain conditions, or handle some matters in certain ways, it is the absolute truth. It is so pathetic that some spouse do not even know who they sleep with daily. They may be nonchalant and since they are married, there is no point in studying or getting to know each other.  How well do you know your spouse? With the increasingly alarming rate of killing one’s spouse, it leaves no stone unturned that the victims do not know their spouses well e

Joseph Walter Jackson, descendant of African and Native American Ancestry,  father to late Pop Star Michael Jackson, was born  to Samuel Jackson on July 26, 1928.  He was confirmed and reported dead in the early morning hours of June 27, 2018.  In as much as his image was tarnished by the media’s stories of his being abusive towards his children, one should not fail to admit that he succeeded in raising singers among whom was the biggest pop star of all time – Late Michael Joseph Jackson. Joseph Walter Jackson was strict and the incessant disciplinary treatment meted towards his children contributed to their success.  I remembered one of the interviews of his late son Michael with Oprah Winfrey, he spoke about childhood, how Joe abused him, the constant name-callings and whooping. He also attested that his father’s constant abuse made him what he was.  That was when I fell in love in Joe Jackson. As I listened to Michael, I thought to myself, “that is a man who did not bel

Do you know that family planning is more harmful to your body than having a baby you did not plan?.  Do you know that family planning can lead to terminal disease?  Do you know that it can lead to imminent death? Do you know that family planning is not the answer to your having a good home? So much do you know.  I bet you already know what it is all about, but let me refresh briefly.   Family planning is the method used in controlling number of children one has and the number of years or spacing it takes in between their births.  Family planning can be by contraception or sterilization as the case may be. The different methods of contraception in family planning are the pill which is hormonal contraception, it can also be in form of injection taken monthly, bi-annually, condoms for barrier method and the most popular which is the implant inside the vagina of a woman called the intra uterine device (IUD).   Most women (married and single) are conversant with family planni

No parents pray to loose their child or children.  Where I come from, it is seen as a taboo.  You cannot imagine the pain and agony a parent go through over the loss of a child.  It is traumatising, demoralising, painful and unbearable.  I have read so many stories surrounding the death of little D'Banj the Third and I pray the Good Lord give the little man peace in His bosom in Jesus name, Amen. D'Banj the Third came, though briefly but I know his parents and those that knew him will always remember and cherish the beautiful moments spent with him.  I do not know D'Banj personally except through television, newspaper, computer or social media, neither do I know the young man who went too soon.  As a mother, I felt very bad especially after seeing cute pictures of the late handsome dude and his dad.  My heart bled.  In as much as it bled, it cannot feel the enormity of pain the D'Banjs are going through. You can  never understand how the D'Banjs feel i

Coconut water, the clear liquid inside coconut is a good source of several nutrients.  Its health benefits are numerous which I am very familiar with.  In my younger days, I know it is beneficial to drink coconut water after exercise or if you are suffering from dehydration, it helps in prevention of kidney stones, fights diabetes and restores good heart health. Among these benefits, there is one very important use of coconut am about to share with my avid readers. I did not get the story from anybody.  It happened to me.  I met this young lady (names withheld) who later became my friend for life, the first time I went for a job interview.  We got talking while waiting for the employer of the organisation for the job we applied for..  He took a very long time and some applicants waiting with us got tired and left. I waited with my friend and few others. I never knew our being kept in the Waiting Room was part of the interview.  It is always good to hold on, patience is a virtue.

Candida! Candida!!!, Candida!!!.  Ooh, in its true word candidiasis.  Most women and men have wide knowledge of what Candidiasis is all about, unfortunately some do not. Let me give a brief definition of it. Candidiasis, also called thrush or moniliasis, is a yeast infection. Candida albicans is an organism that normally makes a quiet home for itself on your skin and doesn't bother anyone. We all carry this organism on our skin, in our mouth, in our gastrointestinal tract (gut), and, in the case of women, in the vagina. Here we go. It is not unusual to see some women battling to keep their hands off their private parts in public.  You know why, because of the irritating itching that comes from vaginal discharge, awful odour and of course the main infection - candidiasis.  If you are among those suffering from this, you need to go to a good hospital and  have a couture test done.  The next step is to be placed on medication and before you start your medication, here are a
