ArticleBy Charles O. Anyiam-Osigwe “Love is like the ocean. Always there – always different” – Ogden Nash Remember the song – “Fifty ways to leave your Lover” by Paul Simon?. A lady friend of mine once told me that this song made her very angry. “How dare anyone make suggestions about how to leave one’s lover?” she questioned indignantly. She was more comfortable with the Beatles song that tells us – “All you need is love, love is all you need.” Well, it is universally agreed that where parties to a relationship make the necessary effort to keep a relationship…

By Ngozi Ufere From stilettos to pumps to wedges and the in-betweens, heels are go-to sources for an instant height boost (especially) for petite-framed figures; my style philosophy is: if you don’t gat it, fake it; then flaunt it… but there is one universal con about heels that most women agree with, they hurt! Yes, we all know the ‘beauty is pain’ line too well and we have used it ever so often, but dear beauty, please try adopting a new name, ‘comfort’ maybe. That isn’t too much to ask, is it? – Yours painfully, ‘Tortured Feet’. We constantly…
ArticleBy Ngozi Ofere Just like the ladies, men need bags to put their masculine items in but it isn’t as easy as it seems, while women have a million bags (okay I’m exaggerating) in their closets, guys find it uniquely challenging finding a bag that doesn’t remind them of female purses. In Europe (France especially) male purses are high fashion staples, but this trend does not translate well to other parts of the world. Let’s just say most guys like being guys through and through. That being said, there are different non-purse-looking bags that any guy could rock while still…

Three names mentioned in the media are Borussia Dortmund’s Jurgen Klopp; Bayern Munich’s Pep Guardiola; and Dutch national team coach, Louis Van Gaal. The latter looks the…
ArticleBy Tony Ekwoaba Most Nigerians know the colours, green and white, in our national flag represent fertile land and peace. But we have never asked why the green in the flag was repeated twice, why there was another green even after the first green. Was it just a show of repetition of the colour green? Or was it some mistake in design? In 1959, a call for entry was made for the design of the Nigerian national flag and over 2000 entries were sent in from around the world. When 23year old Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi’s design was selected in the…

Article“Being an early riser allows you to gain control of your day and consequently, your entire life. It gives you a helicopter view of not just your life, but the entire world especially your own daily playing field. It supplies the kind of energy that gives you a peep into the day before your peers are ready. You have the proactive advantage that empowers you to respond to what life brings instead of reacting to it. It also gives you the power to even determine what life must bring your way each day, instead of playing the majority game accepting…
