ArticleLAGOS, Nigeria — Ojuelegba, one of the city’s major crossroads, never sleeps. At 5 a.m. the beer parlors are still open, even as hawkers begin clogging the sidewalks with their wares — mobile phones, roast chicken, tropical fruits like mango, banana, pawpaw, African pear. People were everywhere as I joined the rushing commuters fighting for space on the ubiquitous Volkswagen Kombi buses, known as danfos. I generally work from home, so the trip was a novelty for me, a chance to get a feel for this restless city of some 18 million people — more than Greater London and New…

ArticleBy Dorothy C. Anyiam-Osigwe Love and Polygamy is one topic which generates a lot of controversy and emotive outpourings each time it comes up. Polygamy [the practice of marrying more than one wife] was developed in the time of our forefathers, and still in existence and more common amongst Africans. In the past, the need for manpower to till the soil gave rise to the institution. As more women were engaged in farm work, they found themselves becoming wives and concubines of the farm owners. Today, although modern farming practices have reduced this manpower need, polygamy still exists in our midst.…
Dear Fat Cat, A few days ago, my friends and I were having some drinks in a bar when the conversation veered into the realm of contraception. One of us (Kola) seemed to be keeping his wife quite busy by having one kid a year- don’t laugh Fat Cat. He’s been married seven years and has seven children. As we teased him, a colleague fished out a photocopy of a document from his pocket. “Hey, wait a minute,” he said. “I have something here which seems to be Kola’s problem. I came across it and photocopied it. This guy, like…
Article By Yemisi Adegoke & Kelechi Anozia According to the first ever Youth Wellbeing Index the answer is, yes.

ArticleBy Bimbola Segun-Amao I’ve grown bigger, with the fats settling down on my arms, making them really round and chunky, no thanks to late night meals and plantain chips amidst other poor choices. Like an addict, I have had plantain chips everyday in the last one month and most times I don’t stop at one pack. A friend saw my recent picture and commented on my “roundness”, I made some silly remarks about it and we laughed. Then another called and asked why I was getting that big. The girl in me had some few seconds to herself “What? What…
Article”Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized.

ArticleBy Tonte Davies Robben, a Night-Hero For a third straight season in four years, title-holders Bayern Munich once again, dribbled their way to the semi-final stage of Europe’s club elite competition: UEFA Champions League. The Bavarians defeated Manchester United by 3-1 in the return fixture of the quarter-final.

Article If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat…
ArticleBeyonce continues to march towards world domination. In her latest shoot for ‘Out’ magazine’s ‘Power’ issue she channels Marilyn Monroe and charges women to take control of their sexuality. “There is unbelievable power in ownership, and women should own their sexuality. There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists. Men are free and women are not. That is crazy,” she says. “The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that. You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist—whatever you want to be—and still…
