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....

As I write this, another person is probably taking their last breath, another victim of the current meningitis epidemic raging through the land. It is appalling that a so-called giant like Nigeria will be the playing field for all manner of dangerous epidemics from polio, to tuberculosis to ebola, to Lassa fever. Nigeria's health budget is an eyesore, accounting for less than 10% of the federal budget. Aside from the paltry sum allocated each year to the most vital sector of all, there is high-level corruption in the management of resources provided by donor countries through their agencies to the Nigerian people. This effectively brings us to a point where funds are grossly inadequate to tackle the plethora of issues facing the health sector in this country. This coupled with the high levels of poverty and squalor that has become the norm for the common man, thereby making him a primary target of all the combo of diseases and plagues...SAD. And herein lies the hard choice, ...

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 i...

When we hear the word 'fasting' the first thing that comes to mind more often than not is: spiritual exercise or activity, but science has shown that they are way more to fasting than just a spiritual activity.  the benefits of intermittent fasting are quite numerous, chief among them as par our gist today is its impact on sex drive aka libido. fasting helps the libido in some indirect ways: when we fast our bodies undergoes some changes i.e 1. Cellular Repair: waste materials in the system are flushed out from cells 2. Weight Loss: These is quite simple, the less we eat, the less calorie intake happens and they are an  increased metabolic rate (food digestion) which in turn lead to weight loss 3. Lowers Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: This Happens Cause Insulin Levels Are Reduced When Food Intake Reduces 4. Increased Brain Health: Not eating brings the human mind to a place of clarity and creativity, thereby increasing the interactivity of brain cells. Now lets string th...

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...

Up until recently when a few members of the Fulani nomadic community began to show their violent side and lack of capacity to co-exist peacefully with their hosts, they had become an integral part of our society with no love lost, I remember when as a kid we sometimes give water or food to the young ones while they go about with their cattle near our area. But the communal clashes between them and their host communities is not the main focus of this write-up. we notice that these guys are some of the smartest and fittest people around, I personally have not seen or met an overweight or obese Fulani herdsman before, these are not strange given the long distances they trek every single day with their cattle, aside this activity that makes these guys top of the fitness chain.... they also indulge in eating habits that should be a model for most of us the so called civilized populace. They mostly feed on milk, proteins from ram, goats, and poultry - ( they don't really indulge in f...

As I write this, I'm virtually naked. even with the fans blazing (no AC were I am at the moment). seems like nature has decided to turn it up, maybe as a reminder that we have to take the climate change thingy a little bit more important. Kids are just not enjoying their childhoods at the moment as a lot of them are being hospitalized for a plethora of reasons, all connected to the surge in temperature. Temperature is fluctuating between 32C to 41C in most parts of Nigeria at the moment, even Jos the Plateau State Capital, one of the most temperate places in the country has an outlook of 33C today.... At this juncture as our ancestors usually say... let's pray for the rains. talking of rain lets delve into some survival tips for these times; 1. Hydrate as much as possible, water just happens to be your very best friend at these time, especially the ice cold one. it will cool you from within and reduce your body temperature 2. Pour water on your head and the rest of your...
