How difficult is it to be rich and yet live a private life? Well, you wouldn't blame some wealthy folks who can't stop flaunting their wealth at others especially in the media. Some of them have really worked hard before they got to where they are today and using every opportunity to put up a show to the rest of the world could always give them a feeling of pride as they'd feel they have paid their dues. Although, there are also a good percentage of exhibitionists who had…

You might be hurting your liver One thing about internal organs is that we never know when they are about to breakdown since we can't see them the way we could mirror our face. Isn't it quite ironic that almost everyone spend alot of money and time to look good on the outside without realizing that they might be dying inside? Well, I don't think that the person/people one is trying to impress with one's physical appearance would be interested anymore if they get to see that…

A common superstition about an hiccup that turns out to be true Hiccups could happen to us inadvertently and they aren't life-threatening . Infact some of us might enjoy having them . Everyone, both dead or alive had experienced an hiccup at one time or the other. Even when we were kids, if a child gets a sudden hiccup after a heavy laughter, other children would e try to induce theirs so that we could all "hiccup" in rhythm. Lol. Scientifically, an hiccup is caused when the…

The power of self awareness Self awareness is simply the ability of an individual to control himself and also maintain a positive and optimistic mindset in all times especially in seemingly negative circumstances. Without self awareness, you wouldn't know who you are or what you want in life or what you wouldn't want. Without self awareness, you would only be existing for the most part without living, since you are still unaware of what you are capable of. Ther are three…

Honey or Sugar; A popular misconception Some few weeks ago, a lactating mother I met at a wedding party was telling her friend that she would start adding honey to her six months old son's pap because of "it's nutritional value". Well at this point, even if I wasn't invited into the conversation, I had to scream at her not to try it, unless ofcourse she wants to infect her baby with botulism. Alright, we all know that honey is gotten from bees. It is also a known fact that…

A Test tube - baby Yes, I have seen one before. She's just five years and beautiful too. She's so intelligent that one would think she's older than her age or maybe possesses some divine gifts. **Image source** https://unsplash.com/s/photos/black-kid when I first heard about test-tube baby, I was 1 was 14 years old. For a long time, I kept wondering wether a baby had spent nine months in a test tube rather than in his mother's womb. Lol. Well, let me make it clearer for the…

You don't dare display the bravery at your parents Before the Advent of the internet that was quickly accompanied by the general breakdown of morals among young people, discipline was the major focal point of childhood. In my parts of the word, kids were also taught bravery by the parents. We were expected by our parents to always stand up against bullies instead of running back home crying to mummy. Well, many African mom's insisted that they never gave birth to a…

Live longer in a sharper mind through intermittent fasting Some fifty years ago, humans could easily maintain a healthy lifestyle by keeping their body in shape. Those days, computers were so rare, mobile phones were non-existent and TVs were switched off earlier. People often go to bed after dinner. Also, there were no mobile or video games, so all recreational activities were done outside, hence exercising the body. But today, all forms of media are readily accessible.…

Initially I thought he was on call, but there was no earpiece over his ears niether was he holding a phone. The young man was just having a serious conversation with himself…

It's so strong that it could cause the rusting of a metal and even dissolve bones.. just like any other acid. Foods leaves our mouth and ends up in a acid bath( stomach) where it is broken down into various nutrients that are absorbed in our bloodstream. In addition, the stomach is linked to the brain by the Vag.nerve . This nerve helps in sending…

Cool things that happens to you when you skip breakfast. Recently I saw a tweet: A man was asked why he looked younger than his age, and he replied that unlike his mates he had stopped eating breakfast. According to him, the last time he had breakfast was in December 2019. And that was the secret to his agelessness. That's sounds odd right? Since we all have been made to believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day since when we were kids. No doubt, for…

What about motion sickness Travelling by road could be the most uncomfortable situation for some people. I have a friend who would always cringe at the thought of travelling for hours. "I wish I could just buy a plane", she had said after vomiting for the third time when we briefly stopped at a fuel station. She vomited so hard that I became afraid that she would bring out her intestines. Even the smell of petrol could make some one who was already suffering from motion…

After visiting two orphanages and completed all the legal and government conditions involved, they were yet to be contacted by the officials even after two years. The whole process had already cost them almost $3000, as…

His little boys were so energetic that it's…
