LAUGH QUOTE People who never did homework in high school are still doing that in the real world. HAPPY CHRISTMAS, DICK! On Christmas morning a cop on horseback is sitting at a traffic light, and next to him is a kid on his brand new bike. The cop says to the kid, “Nice bike you got there. Did Santa bring that to you?” The kid says, “Yeah.” The cop says, “Well, next year tell Santa to put a tail-light on that bike.” The cop then proceeds to issue the kid a $20.00 bicycle safety violation ticket. The kid takes…

EGO AND RELATIONSHIPS Some two sets of very distinct but interesting developments: Recently Queen Elizabeth of England and her husband Prince Philip celebrated 70 years (Platinum Anniversary) of their marriage which was contracted in 1947, on Monday 20 November 2017. The Queen was coronated in 1953. Churches, Mosques, communities and societies regularly celebrate couples who mark Silver, Golden and Platinum Jubilees of their weddings! In contrast Mrs. Maryam Sanda Bello, daughter of former Aso Savings & Loans MD Hajia Maimuna Aliyu, on Saturday 18 November 2017 allegedly stabbed her husband Bilyamin Bello, son of ex-Minister of Defense Haliru Bello…
The paper presented at the Pride Women’s conference 2017 with the theme “Women: Work, Relationship and Marriage in the 21st Century” by Ezeani Nneka Juliet As a woman, who are you? You are who you are and no one else. Who you are now is who you have made yourself to be. Your values make you who you are. Your values build your character, your character becomes your personality, your personality becomes your identity, and your identity becomes your brand. What is a brand? As it refers to human beings, it is a particular identity or image regarded as an…
My beloved daughter, In life, do not spend a lot of time believing you can read other people’s minds or that they can read yours. This notion can cause problems. Honest, simple communication is the best way to maintain healthy relationships. I emphasise again – try not to read minds. It just complicates relationships! And accepting the other person as they are is also very important! We often expect the opposite person to behave or say things in a certain way, fitting into our preconceived notions. It is necessary to remember that individuals are different and come from different…

Dear Dorothy, We have only been married for about a year, but I have discovered that my husband is insecure. We dated for almost three years before marriage, but I never knew he would get so possessive when we got married. He says that because I am a beauty, men cannot resist making passes at me and the chances are that I may fall for them. I have done my best to assure him that he is my one and only love, even if other men are chasing me or making passes at me. I have tried to convince him…
Hard fact! Life is a jungle, only the strong survive. Google did not invent the search engine and Facebook did not invent the Social Media, but how come they define their category? The answer is tenacity and tunnel vision. Truth is, being original or first is nothing – you can ask Apple and Yahoo, how their smart competitors, Samsung and Google overtook them. In the race of life, nothing is fair. Life only compensates the SMART and the BRAVE. No one owes you a reason for your existence, we’ve all got to chart our own path, own it and keep…
Nothing but The Truth. One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, “Why are you crying?” The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into the river, and he needed it to make his living. The Lord went down in the water and appeared with a golden axe. “Is this your axe?” the Lord asked. The woodcutter replied, “No.” The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe. “Is this your axe? “the Lord…
The reality of modern day living is that social media has come to take a dominant place in our lives and we are prone to conduct our relationships via phone calls, text, emails, Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Snapchat, WhatsApp …. The beat goes on. This mode of interaction has raised questions about how the internet is impacting our social lives for good or ill. It cannot be denied that the internet has made it easier for people to connect and keep in touch. But is this connectivity taking the ‘connection’ out of romantic relationships? Regardless of which side of the…
Speech delivered by the Chairman of the Occasion Ms. Claire Chizea at the Pride Women Conference 2017. I decided to carry out a little research on the topic, to avoid making too much of a fool of myself something we all dread, but most importantly to find out if science or feminists have discovered some changes in the human anatomy from what it has been, for I am a Woman, Not a Feminist!! Alas no such mutations or changes have been discovered. Studies only show, that women now compete with men, on the number of heart attacks, strokes, etc.…
