Article“There is no such thing as a “broken family.” Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.” – C. JoyBell C.

By Bimbola Segun-Amao As newlyweds in African countries, the next big news your family and ‘well-wishers’ would love to hear is that the wife is pregnant. If by nature, one does fall into the category of the 25% of couples that may have to try to conceive for over a year, one may be exposed to different myths and folk lores especially the woman. Don’t worry; as intellectuals, humans love to conceptualize. It’s hard and almost impossible for us to leave issues and happenings alone without analysing and giving an explanation, whether scientific or mythical. Fertility is not left out…
By Ngozi Ufere I once read somewhere that men in suits have better chances at commanding respect, okay that’s a lie – I made that up, but it can as well pass for an empirical truth. Experiences never lie and if there is one thing experience teaches, it’s that everyone fancies a well dressed man…in a well structured suit. Therefore it is safe for me to say, no man (gentle or not) can do without a good suit. That is why when the a-list Nollywood actor RMD (Richard Mofe Damijo) was pictured on the red carpet at the 2014…

ArticleBy Alex C With Nigeria adjudged as Africa’s biggest economy, eclipsing South Africa following the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rebasing, electronic payment system is driving Nigeria’s growth. From a cash-based society, where volume of cash or travellers’ cheque were a necessity for visitors, the birth of the modern payments industry is more noticeable than in the retail banking sector with Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), credit cards and Point-of-Sale (PoS)devices now ubiquitous.
