A wedding day is one of the most anticipated moments in life, but as much as couples plan every detail, things do not always go as expected. Having a back-up plan does not mean expecting the worst. It simply ensures that no matter what happens, the celebration still runs smoothly and joyfully. Here are some essential areas where couples should consider back-up plans. Weather changes Outdoor weddings are beautiful, but the weather can be unpredictable. A sudden downpour, strong wind or extreme heat could disrupt the ceremony.

Growing up, music and rhymes were part of everyday life. We sang at school assemblies, during playtime with friends, and in church on Sundays. Yet many of the songs we belted out were not exactly the way they were written. Our young ears picked up what they thought they heard, and before long, new versions were born. One of the most unforgettable examples is the childhood rhyme “Sandalili.” Almost every Nigerian child grew up chanting, “Sandalili, sandalili, sandalili, sandalili, sandalili.” What many did not realise at the time is that the original words were “Standard Living.” But who cared about…
Trees are often described as the lungs of the earth, and with good reason. They provide us with clean air, shade, shelter, and even food. Planting a tree may seem like a simple act, but its impact can be far-reaching, touching not only our environment but also human health and well-being. Trees and Clean Air One of the most important benefits of trees is their ability to purify the air. Through the process of photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. A single mature tree can produce enough oxygen in a year to sustain several people. At the same…
“Our titles, our positions are all temporary. If we let them define us, we’re bound to be lost when they leave us.” “In chess, every piece — the king, the queen, the bishop, the pawn — has its value only while the game is in play. When it’s over, they’re all returned to the same box and the lid is shut.” Introduction In the economy of human identity, titles and roles act like currency — tokens of value that society trades, rewards, and reveres. We become “Doctor,” “CEO,” “Father,” “Soldier,” “Winner,” and sometimes we carry those designations like armor. But…
Eggs have long been a staple in kitchens across the world. Simple, versatile and affordable, they are often enjoyed at breakfast, added to baked goods, or incorporated into a wide range of dishes. Beyond their culinary value, eggs are packed with nutrients that support overall health and wellbeing. Storage of nutrients Eggs are often described as “nature’s multivitamin” because of the variety of essential nutrients they contain. A single medium egg provides high-quality protein, vitamins A, D, E and B12, riboflavin, folate, selenium, and iodine. These nutrients are vital for maintaining good health, from supporting energy production to keeping the…
Arriving in a new country is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Every culture has its own way of doing things, from how people greet one another to how they dress, eat, and even queue. If you are not careful, you can quickly stand out as a “JJC”, a Nigerian slang term for “Johnny Just Come”, used to describe someone who is clearly new, inexperienced, or unfamiliar with local ways. The good news is that with the right approach, you can blend in faster and avoid looking like a newcomer. Learn the basics of the languageYou do not need…
When communities are designed, the pattern of housing is one of the most important considerations. Two common approaches are clustered housing and dispersed housing. Each carries its own advantages and challenges, and both have implications for land use, community life and sustainability. Clustered housing refers to a style of development where homes are built close together in compact groups. This design often preserves large areas of open land, which can be used for farming, recreation or conservation. The proximity of homes encourages social interaction among residents and makes it easier to provide shared facilities such as playgrounds, green spaces and…
