A public wedding has its own theatre. Unlike a private ceremony tucked away in a quiet garden or hall, a public wedding unfolds in open view. It may take place in a bustling church, a community square, a grand cathedral or even along a busy beachfront. There is beauty in that openness. There is also a risk. If you are planning to say your vows in a space where strangers can watch, wander through or record, it pays to be thoughtful. Here are the essential dos and don’ts to guide you. Do secure proper permissions Whether your ceremony is set…

Yellow is not a shy colour. It arrives before you do. It catches the light, commands attention and refuses to apologise. For the African woman, yellow carries even deeper meaning. It reflects our sun, our soil, our markets, our celebrations and our resilience. Worn well, it is not loud. It is luminous. Here is your guide to wearing yellow with confidence and elegance. Understand the shade that suits you Yellow is not one colour. It ranges from soft butter tones to deep mustard and rich marigold. The key is finding the shade that complements your skin tone. Women with deep…
There was a time when ageing did not happen behind closed doors or in distant care homes. Our aged parents and grandparents were woven into the fabric of daily life. They were not side notes to our stories. They were the storytellers, the referees, the guardians of memory. Looking back now, it is the ordinary activities we shared with them that feel most extraordinary. Evening storytelling sessions Before smartphones and endless television channels, evenings belonged to conversation. We would gather around our aged parents as dusk settled in, listening to tales of village life, courtship, war years and family legends.…
War has shaped borders, toppled empires and altered the course of history. Yet a small number of countries stand apart for having no record of fighting an interstate war as modern sovereign states. In most cases, these are microstates or small island nations whose size, geography or diplomatic positioning have kept them removed from armed conflict. They include: 1. Iceland Iceland has never fought a war since gaining full independence in 1944. The country has no standing army and relies on NATO for defence. Its location in the North Atlantic has made it strategically important, yet it has remained peaceful.…
A man may insist that his car is simply a means of getting from one place to another, but very few vehicles are neutral. The car you drive, whether you admit it or not, speaks long before you do. It signals ambition, restraint, nostalgia, caution, flair or even quiet rebellion. In the theatre of modern life, your car is one of the most visible expressions of who you are. 1. Mercedes-Benz G-Class The man who drives a G Wagon enjoys presence. This is not subtle wealth. It is confidence with weight behind it. He values power, stature and the kind…
Food is more than just sustenance. It is an experience, a reflection of culture and personality. Choosing between street food and restaurant dining often comes down to what you value in the moment: speed, flavour, ambience, or comfort. Both options offer unique experiences that go beyond simply filling the stomach. Street food is immediate, lively, and deeply connected to local culture. In cities such as Lagos, roadside vendors serve dishes that are rich in flavour and tradition. Street food is usually affordable and accessible to everyone. There is no need for reservations or formalities; you can order, eat, and continue…
Dear Dorothy, I am in my early forties and recently realised I have not given serious thought to retirement. I have always assumed I would sort it out later, but later seems to have arrived rather quickly. I work full time, I have family responsibilities, and like most people, there is always something demanding my income. School fees, rent, extended family obligations, unexpected expenses. Saving often feels like a luxury. I worry that I may have left it too late. I do not own property yet and my pension contributions are not impressive. I am anxious about becoming a burden…
Relationships are meant to offer clarity, comfort and a sense of direction. Even when things are new and unfolding, there is usually a shared understanding that both people are moving somewhere intentional. But what happens when you begin to feel unsure? When the words sound promising, yet the actions feel inconsistent? You may be wondering whether you are being led on. Being led on is a subtle emotional experience. It rarely announces itself loudly. Instead, it appears as confusion, mixed signals, and a constant need to decode someone’s behaviour. If you have been questioning where you stand, here are signs…
