Now That The Samsung S8 Is Here

The Samsung S8 has now being unveiled and is subsequently being released into the general market at a starting price of $720 or N270,000... whew! Maybe chicken change to some people, but in a country whose minimum wage is $48 or N18,000, this is huge.
Why am I delving into all these figures this hot afternoon? It’s because I'm simply pissed at the greed and insatiable thirst of many Nigerians to spend money that most of them don’t even have, these ones give a demeanor of tech savviness, this has also being proven to be a fake majority of the time. The ills being perpetuated in our society today because of these ever-evolving craze for material things is now a cause for concern, from ladies sleeping around with their grandfather's agemates to young men joining armed robbery gangs to perpetrate mind-boggling crimes…… but all this craze for what please? So the clique will see them as the coolest or most fly dude/chic around? So the social status will be upgraded? I just laugh in Swahili…… who cares what phone the next person is even using, how does it change the price of a cup of gari, please?
The very annoying thing about all this fake lifestyle is that most of this folks won't even utilize 20% of the capacity of these phones. When I see some of these peeps trying to wade there way through all the new functions and upgrades it seems more like a chore than anything else, they eventually end up settling for the everyday functions that a phone of N30,000 can carry out… Just Sad.
But then I feel there are underlying factors to this sort of wasteful behavior, I feel some of them include but not limited to – 1. Low Self-esteem 2. Lack of focus 3. Access to cash not rightfully earned and 4. Misplacement of priorities among a host of others.

I believe there needs to be an attitudinal shift in the psyche of both young and old, to help rid this nation of excessive demand for imported products, help reduce the frequency and rampancy of social vices and finally to help steer our youth to spending their resources on career building and development.

When Men Cheat Because She Became Overweight

Hi, Folks.... Don't Get Me Wrong, My Topic May Seem A Bit Overboard, But It;s Really Not. Yes, A Couple In A Committed Relationship Are Supposed To Stick With Each Other No Matter What, They Are Meant To Go Through The "Thick and Thin" No Matter What - Yea? Ok o, Sounds Romantic But Then They Is Wishful Thinking,, And Theys Reality On The Other End. No Sane Human Will Choose A Broken Down 1988 Volkswagen Over A 2017 Range Rover Sport... I Think. I Might Be Wrong, But I'm Pretty Sure A Lot Of Folks Will Go For The Later. How Does This Relate To Relationships? Truth Is A Lot Of Couples, Male Or Female Let Go Of Their Physical Appearance After A Couple Of Years In Marriage.  They are These Feeling Of "I'm Already Here, Why Stress Myself To Work Out, Or Look Sexy?.

Noodles.... An Enemy In Disguise

We live in a fast-paced world where convenience and ease of use are keywords in virtually all sectors of human existence, Prior to the discovery of  noodles  at the Lajia archaeological site, the earliest record of  noodles   appears in a book written during China's East Han Dynasty sometime between A.D. 25 and 220, Lu said. Other theories suggest  noodles  were first made in the Middle East and introduced to Italy by the Arabs. Whatever the case, this yummy fast food has come to stay and it will remain so for a very long time.....BUT, noodles unknown to many is an innocent looking, yummy tasting enemy to those trying to watch their weights, and for those interested in shedding some kilos. A 120grams of cooked noodles pack a whopping 630 calories, and most adults eat at least 2 of these in a serving, that's around 1300 calories.... 'massive huh'. it will take 2hrs on the treadmill at the average speed to burn that 3minutes fast meal off.. but of c...

Porn Can Ruin You.... Seriously!

Most humans walking the face of this digital earth has come across porn in one way or the other, porn is the most downloaded genre of video available on the internet, that's aside music videos of course which are in their own way some form of soft porn if I can be so bold. Don't get me wrong, this post isn't in any way about morals or religious beliefs, its more about the health, family and behavioural implications of addiction to porn. here are some reasons why we should all take staying away from porn seriously: 1. It creates an artificial world of escape which if not careful can make the real world seem boring, and in some cases even make the individual lose interest in real life activities. 2. Porn makes for sex without intimacy, in the long run, as a matter of fact, a lot of men have experienced erectile dysfunction in the absence of porn. 3. Porn creates a hunger for itself, simply put it's like an addictive drug, it can get the user hooked.. for real. 4....
