     So its Friday night again, my boys and I are going to hang out after work. Have a few drinks and chops, talk about sports, politics, government and yes... Girls, our girlfriends (who live with us) and wife.     Jimoh will open the floor with everyone laughing at how his girlfriend exploits him of every penny he makes even though it was obvious she earned more than him. And Kunle will complain about his wife who is in and out of town on 'supposed business trips' but come back with expensive clothes and jewelries charged to his account. Uche will simply laugh and brag about his Igbo women and how he would readily find me one should Atinuke misbehave. And yes, my Atinuke, blessed with both beauty and character, my friends tell me I am the luckiest of them all, with a woman like her, but the truth is not as it seems.     Of a truth Atinuke is blessed with beauty and character, but her lack of shame and respect for her body has always...

It was on Sunday, Sunday evening. It was the only time I could squeeze out from my busy schedule to see my friends.    So this Sunday I promised Dee a wonderful time out, mom told me she had been moody all week, probably missing me.     Dee was brought home from school for further medical treatment, she was always in and out of the hospital.    I spoke at length with her over the phone the previous night, asking her to make a wish of all the places she wanted to visit before my work takes me off again for the week, in response she said she wanted me to surprise her.    I must confess, Dee is one of the most difficult persons to please. You really have to think outside the box to please her. I proposed in my heart that I would take her round the city, so she could catch a glimpse of the new changes that has happened since she left for school.     I made reservations at one of her favorite restaurant for dinner and had a cake ba...

    I had known this girl since kindergarten, we grew up in the same neighborhood and were classmates. She was not the most beautiful girl in the area but she had these aura, glamour and grace that announces her and makes her stand out among others.        I have liked her long before I understood what like or love meant, but I couldn't tell her. I felt she was unapproachable and in my defense she really is. She acts so focused and highly-strung.        Every time I try to imagine how I wanted my future to be I always end up with a mental, detailed, well painted picture of her beside me with our beautiful kids; the girls have her smile and beautiful ever glowing ebony skin with a touch of big brown eyes. And of course the boys will take after someone that doesn't look like me(that part always puzzle me)        I daily nursed the day I would tell her how I felt. There were times I ...

  The look on her face as she held her baby was epic, the joy was indescribable. I couldn't help the tears that cascaded slowly down my cheeks.    "she's so adorable" I muttered amidst tears as I rubbed the baby's cheek with my thumb, the mom smiled at me. Her joy had replaced her initial feelings and aggressive emotional outburst that she had when she came into the hospital in labour.   My duty at the hospital ended few hours before dawn when the  baby was born but her mother's condition during the labour attracted me to her and the connection stayed.     she was really screaming and cursing. I wondered why it troubled her that much(not like I have been in labour before)   "O God, get it out of me!" she kept yelling, like the doctors will cut open her Tommy and take out the baby.    "it's so painful!" she muttered sometimes, and I stared in sympathy, if only children knew how much pain most mothers pass through to birth them, ...

    The moment I set my eyes on her I forgot about the vows I made at the altar 18months ago, she was a perfect example of a woman well endowed in form. Every part of her was perfect and it all appealed to me. I stared lustfully at her not minding how obvious it was. Besides everyone else would also be staring. She walked past me and in a sweet voice greeted, the scent of her perfume filled my nostrils and I was charmed. I threw caution to the wind and proposed that I must have her.    By the close of work that day I had gathered enough facts about her, she was a corp member recently posted to our branch, her name was Bridget.    I made her my first priority the next day, I went to her cubicle and offered her assistance in getting up to speed about her duties, this she gladly welcomed as most of the other girls shunned her for reasons I don't know.     Bridget and I became friends from that day, she felt comfortable around me, but I...

      Our sleep is controlled by a gland called Pineal gland.  This gland in the presence of light produces an hormone call Melatonin,  melatonin secreted at night aids our sleep. It sends a signal to the brain alerting it that it's night time and we should sleep. This is referred to as circadian rhythm. If this is so why then do we have difficulty sleeping at night or taking a nap during the day?    The secretion of melatonin during daylight hours is low, and high during dark periods. During the day the pineal gland is just producing melatonin, thus its secretion is low.     At night certain factors maybe responsible for our lack of sleep:         Lack of exposure to natural light during the day         Stress         Nutrient deficiency and most importantly,         Exposure to li...

There are plenty ways you can harm your precious strands of hair without even knowing. Jumia Travel , the leading online travel agency shares 10 of these ways. Packing Your Hair Too Tightly Especially for females, anything too tight, particularly when done with rough elastic, can be damaging to your hair because they pull at your scalp and irritate your strands eventually causing hair breakage and damage to your roots.
