FLAUNT YOUR LEISURE | AMEN JULIET

Juliet Amen, a civil servant, talks to us about her leisure on the WELCOME TO MY LEISURE segment of FYL

FEEL MY PULSE 021122

One of the WAYS OF SHOWING LOVE TO YOUR HUSBAND IS "Try not to make sudden changes without discussion. And then give him time to adjust" 

Do you agree?

KOTANSIBE - and the story comes to an end

                                         TANKO

This village will rise again. This village will once again taste good life, a life of comfort and plenty, so says the gods. (While Townspeople now begin to rejoice, Tanko zeroes in on Chinedu, and shrieks, everyone remains quiet). But then, on the condition that (pointing at chinedu) he is appointed to manage the farms, so says the gods. (there is jubilation in the air). 

NARRATOR

Please, ask the gods, who should be king of this village since the former has gone to join his ancestors. (he does so, once again casting his strings of divination).

TANKO

(looks into the crowd, zeroes in on Jibola)

Chief Jibola! You are the chosen one.

Other chiefs come forward and invest Jibola in royal robes and crown while Townspeople dance round him, paying homage.

ROYAL BARD

Kabiyesi, you’ll last long to rule us. Kolanut lasts long in the mouths of them who value it.

Heavy bata drumming materialises and ROYAL BARD dance off to the rhythm. Suddenly, lighting (the gods) strikes Tanko dead, everyone watches motionlessly, gapping, stunned.

Narrator turns to look at the corpse, shakes his head slowly, starts away.

 

 BLACKOUT.

Does owning property make you more attractive when dating?

As someone out on the dating frontline with a wishlist for your future partner, owning a home may not be something you immediately think to add amongst tall, funny, loyal and caring. However, research by CIA Landlord Insurance has shown that owning your own property does in fact make you more attractive!

The study revealed that men who own property are 57% more likely to get a match on Tinder than men who were not on the property ladder. And while women on Tinder receive an average of 60% more likes than men, women who own property further increased this percentage. Female property owners also receive 7% more matches than women who don’t own their own house.

Taking the stigma out of adult toy shops

When most people think of adult toy shops, the first thing that comes to mind is a seedy store filled with sleazy-looking people. However, this stereotype could not be further from the truth! Adult toy shops are becoming increasingly popular, offering various products for people of all ages and interests.

So if you're curious about adult toys, don't be afraid to check out your local shop!

What are adult toy shops, and what do they sell?

Adult toy shops are stores that sell products designed to enhance sexual pleasure. These can include vibrators, dildos, bondage equipment, and lubricants. Many adult toy shops also sell DVDs and other media featuring adult content.

Some stores may focus on a particular niche, such as BDSM or gay and lesbian customers, while others may carry a wide range of products. In recent years, the popularity of adult toy shops has grown substantially, as more people are becoming comfortable discussing and exploring their sexuality. This trend will likely continue as taboos surrounding sex continue to break down.

Catch-Up: Habib Yoghurt

According to Wikipedia, Yogurt is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Hence, yoghurt is regarded as a “milk food”. The bacteria used to make yogurt are known as yogurt cultures. Fermentation of sugars in the milk by these bacteria produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt its texture and characteristic tart flavour. Cow's milk is the milk most commonly used to make yogurt. Milk from water buffalo, goats, ewes, mares, camels, and yaks are also used to produce yogurt. Cow’s milk is used in the United States and north-central Europe; sheep’s and goat’s milk are preferred in Turkey and south-eastern Europe; milk from the water buffalo is most commonly used in Egypt and India. Yogurt may also be produced from non-dairy products.

The Secret of a Happy Life: The Secret to a Successful Marriage

According to statistics, the divorce rate in the United States is climbing. On top of that, a recent study found that nearly half of all marriages now end in divorce. So do we need to be more cautious about who we marry? Should we think about not marrying at all?

To see marriage as permanent and something to be worked on is a healthy way to view it. It also means that you’ll want to choose wisely when finding someone you want to spend your life with. There are many benefits of marriage, but there are also some challenges you’ll need to prepare for. Let’s take a look at some advice regarding how to create a happy marriage:

Communicate

Communication is the foundation for any healthy relationship. It also is a predictor of divorce. Couples that have mastered the art of good communication are more likely to stay together. To make communication a priority, you’ll need to make time to talk with your partner. You can’t solve communication issues if you don’t talk about them.

Your highness, this is insult - OKORO

OYEYEMI

My people, what can I say now? You have seen it yourself that without the knowledge of anyone of us the late chief Abiodun Kotansibe had sold his farmland to this gentleman, chief Alayemo. I mean, the document bears it all with all the witnesses and signatories. 

Before now Chinedu has been assisting his father to decode the content of the document. 

OKORO

Your Highness, this is insult!

ELDERS

(in a chorus)

Yes, your Highness. This is injustice!

Catch-Up: Taj Mahal

Photo Credit: Taj Mahal

Catch-Up at this time focuses on the Taj Mahal. The phrase ‘Enormous mausoleum complex’ signifies one thing and that is the ‘Taj Mahal’.

Taj Mahal is an Islamic ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra commissioned in 1632 by the fifth Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the remains of his third but the most favourite and beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal who died on 17 June that year, while giving birth to their 14th child, Gauhara Begum.

The magnificent multifaceted edifice also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centerpiece of a 17-hectare complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall. Taj Mahal’s stunning architecture has made it one of the most iconic monuments in the world today and it also regarded as the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage.

Maħall is also the surname of Mumtaz Mahal, for whom Shah Jahan built the mausoleum.

Taj Mahal is termed the 7 wonders of the world, with the dead body of Mumtaz placed at the Banks of River Yamuna and Shah had his promised fulfilled by constructing the Taj Mahal over her grave with his dead body also laid beside Mumtaz Tomb.

NIGERIA AND THE CHALLENGE OF UNITY: BEYOND THE 2023 ELECTIONS - Rev. Fr. George EHUSANI

NIGERIA AND THE CHALLENGE OF UNITY: BEYOND THE 2023 ELECTIONS

A Keynote Address at the Savannah Centre Leadership Effectiveness

and Accountability Dialogue, at Ibeto Hotel, Abuja, on June 6, 2022

By

Rev. Fr. George EHUSANI

Executive Director, Lux Terra Leadership Foundation

_____________________________________________________

INTRODUCTION: Nigeria is Today Teetering on the Precipice

Nigeria as a national entity is on the verge of collapse. All the indices of state failure are in place. There is an unprecedented level of impunity, and a never-before witnessed orgy of violence across the land. Criminal gangs are holding swathes of the Nigerian territory, bombing state infrastructures, collecting taxes, kidnapping travellers for ransom, sacking whole villages, burning down police stations, dislodging soldiers from their military outposts, abducting school children – transforming some into child soldiers and others into sex slaves, carrying out mass executions, and sending periodic threats to the Federal Government.

In the face of these brazen attacks that are equivalent to an open declaration of war, the government in place appears either utterly incapable or inexplicably unwilling to perform the primary duty of government, namely, to protect the lives and property of Nigerians, to such an extent that many Nigerians in exasperation now wonder if high level agents of government are not actually complicit in this genocidal war against innocent Nigerians. Indeed, many are beginning to believe that there are treasonous persons within the governance structure, who have resolved to destroy the Nigerian state in the manner we are witnessing today.

Negotiating Money Issues as a Couple

Money Matters

There are a few ways that a couple can negotiate their financial endeavors peacefully. Money is often a sensitive subject and it should be handled with care. Rather than need to argue over money issues, couples can discuss the issues candidly. This will help to overcome obstacles related to shared finances. They can also make money together through joint ventures, such as investments.

Making Money Together

It is possible for the couple to make money together as well. One way that a couple can do this is not by working together in their place of employment. It is actually possible to generate revenue by investing in the stock market.

Investing in the stock market is a fun activity for a couple to collaborate on. You can learn a lot about which stocks are lucrative. You can even take a course in stock market investing in order to make it a more enjoyable experience for you and your partner.

Women usually like being chased by men of their choice. It is a general perception that women like being approached, and that women love to make men come after them.

All the things stated above are surely true to a T. Though there is no full stop to it, the matter is not closed at this point. There are some closely connected facts concerning this subject.

Women often get mesmerized by men, and they try to let them know of it through flirting signs from a woman. When a woman is interested in any man, she doesn’t shy away from letting him see the truth of her heart with female signs of flirting.

"The World Malaria Report 2021 reaffirmed the sorry reality of Nigeria and other SSA states: 80 per cent of all malaria deaths in the region were of children under age five. This is an unacceptably high toll that should be reversed at all costs.The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and the 36 state governors should take note of these figures: Nigeria, with 31.9 per cent of the total, led three other African countries to account for over half of the total global deaths. It was followed by Congo DR’s 13.2 per cent; Tanzania’s 4.1 per cent, and Mozambique’s 3.8 per cent. One study described malaria as Nigeria’s No.1 public health problem, accounting for 30 per cent of all under-five deaths, 25 per cent of deaths in infants and 11 per cent of maternal mortality.

The country has failed to utilise or maximise global interventions to reduce the disease burden. Both the 1998 Roll Back Malaria project aimed at malaria burden reduction by at least 50 per cent through precise interventions, and the 2005 Abuja Declaration to overturn malaria burden, were poorly executed. Till date, Nigeria falters and wobbles on lofty malaria eradication initiatives designed to reverse the trend. Like many other national programmes, there is no consistency in implementation as succeeding administrations and ministers often abandon ongoing activities halfway to promote empty new slogans.

Both men had been convicted and jailed for stealing state funds, Premium Times report.

“We used to say our problem in our work against corruption is the judiciary but we see a lack of political will by the president,” one EFCC official said.

TO MEND A BROKEN NATION: THE EASTER METAPHOR:

1: Hello brothers and sisters in Christ, men and women of goodwill everywhere, I send you hearty greetings and felicitations as we celebrate the risen Christ. Easter is here again. For all Christians, Easter is a metaphor for our lives as individuals, families, communities or nations. Easter is a metaphor for how shame, scandal, powerlessness, weakness, and opprobrium suddenly transform into glory, honour, pre-eminence, laudation and applause. It is a fulfilment of what the Master himself had foretold when He said, ‘Unless a grain of wheat falls on the ground and dies, it remains only a single grain, but if it dies, it bears much fruit’ (Jn. 12: 24). And the Psalmist had said, ‘Those who sow in tears will sing when they reap.’ (Ps. 126:5).

… every session of the National Assembly has always taken it upon itself to tinker with the Constitution, yet the major pillars of the nation’s grundnorm – centralised federalism – remain unchanged. At the federal level, the Legislature and Judiciary enjoy relative independence, except in instances where their leaderships voluntarily surrender their independence to the Executive for whatever gain. But at the state level, their independence is hampered by the fact that they depend on the state purse, which is controlled by the Executive, to operate.

Governors have also deprived the grassroots electorate of their right to elect their own local government leadership by ensuring that their parties always win. Local government elections have become the means by which governors plant their surrogates to enable them control local government funds. One of the problems this spawns is the prevalence of the “ungoverned spaces” syndrome and attendant security breaches all over the country.

What Every Parent Needs to Know about the Prodigal Child

Some kids are born to push the boundaries. They are hardwired to do things the hard way. In a recent parenting Bible Study that addresses complex cultural issues, pastor and theologian Ray Ortlund says, “Some children will find Jesus the hard way. But it is better to find Jesus.”

Yes, it is better to find Jesus the hard way if a child insists, but what can a parent do when their child is wandering?

That is a topic I addressed in a recent article as well as a recent episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, which just turned one year old and earned the 2022 award for Best Kids and Family Podcast by Spark Media. Having a battle plan and prayer guide at your side is imperative if you have a child who is not walking with the Lord.
