Life Changing!

Recently, many people saw Nigeria as a failed state with their reasons. Others speculated that Nigeria will soon fail if serious measures to avert such an occurence are not taken. Whether true or false, the state of things in this nation is nothing to write home about. Instead of actively growing, Nigeria is not just static but degenerating. There are obvious markers that our country will still smell doom if nothing tangible is urgently done. God Forbid! Many associations and groups are currently on strike, in an attempt to draw the attention of our distracted and confused government to their demands and unfavourable conditions. The PHCN workers just suspended their strike that left the entire nation in total darkness for about two days, while other nations are celebrating years of uninterrupted power supply. The effects of such action will unargueably be enormous. Services that require power will be paralysed and unavailable. Though Nigerians are used to the incessant power outage, ...

Our children have become victims of abuse,directly or indirectly. Children, who are undoubtedly the hope of our future are receiving from every corner, haphazard care. The snootiness meted to them is actually going out of hand. We have all gone to the extent of engaging in the hara-kiri of our own future and hope. Pitiably, we are sincerely unaware and insensitive to their sufferings. This abuse has manifested in our inability to holistically take proper care of our younger generation and has transcended to a bloody war against posterity. Unlike the desire of some families without issues, some women are comfortable with not having children. Some of them that eventually get pregnant choose to abort, others who succeed in putting to bed, try to sniffle life out of their babies. We usually hear the stories of mothers who discard their babies for reasons best known to them. The reason being that they got unwanted pregnancies that were products of their illicit relationships. The abuse of c...

All over the world, some women are busy canvassing for equality gender-wise, between men and women. Some of them have taken the bull by the horn, even without getting paid for their actions, to mobilize, incite and initiate other women into thinking like them. It is actually spreading like wildfire and needs quick intervention to prevent the imminent enormous consequences and complications. It is a known fact that women are given preferential treatment in every well organised society, both in their individual homes and in the public places, but these per se are on the other hand beginning to wrought in them, the strange desire to be men in every ramification. Just to be like men, they are nurturing the idea of being in the helm of affairs, in every society where they are found. What a surreal development! At this point, it will be ideal for me to stress that gender equality is an idea from the pit of hell.It is 'antichrist-like' in nature. Wait a minute, before you misunderstan...

The joy of every woman is to become the wife of one man before they are done with their life on earth.Every lady,including the very young ones desire to be married as they go about other necessary things.It is generally believed that a woman's life is incomplete without having a man she can call her own.Obviously,married women command respect more than their unmarried counterparts in the society. Also,a man is believed to be responsible when he gets married.Men who fail to get married 'as at when due',for whatsoever reason are regarded as persona-non-gratas among their contemporaries.When the union eventually produces an issue(especially male),the man is seen as a hero.Men and women alike are in continuous search for right partners,for a lifetime adventure,but the pressure of the process tend to tilt more to the side of the women because of the notion that their 'time' is passing away. Like men,women were wonderfully created by God.Undoubtedly,they are wonderfully c...

Dating back to the years of slave trade,human beings were profitable commodities in the hands of their dealers,who exchange them for money.Some human beings were captured to be sold while parents were willing to sell their seemingly stubborn children.Some of the slaves that were ferried out of the country were subjected to untold hardships in the hands of their buyers.Recently,human trafficking has been a serious challenge in our country,as people still lure their unsuspecting victims for the money-making venture. Like slave trade,kidnapping has become a matter to contend with in our country.It is about the most popular information seen in the news nationwide.Even the deaf people have heard it.Hardened individuals,that decided to take their destinies in their own hands,have taken kidnapping,as a means of getting their share of the unevenly distributed national cake.The big,the small,the young and the aged are being held on ransom day after day.Presently,it has become a thorn in the fl...

Our country is full of shameless men and women tagged 'politicians',parading as our leaders.The big and small,the godfathers and their protégés are losing their right senses of reasoning.It is an open truth that any leadership without the availability of enough healthy opposition,from any source,will gradually translate to dictatorship.I once said that our country is gradually returning to the dictatorship era,that subjected us to untold hardship and reduced chances of growth in every sector. Nigeria has gained a certain notoriety from the uncontrolled defection of members of her political class in search of greener pastures.This defection is independent of any good reason or promising future for the nation at the long run.Our politicians are so free to keep defecting,provided their selfish desires are satiated.The satiric episodes of carpet-crossing that occured in recent times,have succeeded in jeopardizing the efforts we have made to democratically grow.It has also tainted t...

In 1981,the first cases of AIDS(Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)were identified among gay men in the United States,acquiring the designation,GRID(Gay-Related).By the end of 2003,twelve million children in Sub-Saharan Africa were orphaned by AIDS.Scientists later found evidence that the disease existed in the world for some years prior,that is,subsequent analysis of a blood sample of a Bantu man,who died of an unidentified illness in the Belgian Congo in 1959,making him the first confirmed case of an HIV infection. Where did HIV,the virus that causes AIDS come from?Both of AIDS viruses,HIV-1 and HIV-2,originated in Western-Central Africa according to genetic statistics.As is often the case with microbes,a jump from one species is probably to blame.HIV-1 is probably from chimpanzees while HIV-2 is from sooty mangabeys.AIDS epidemic seemed to have occured around,or just after the Second World War.Cases of AIDS in 1982 began to be reported by fourteen nations.As early as 1982,Centre Fo...
