Dear Dorothy, I will turn 30 on December 25, 2019. I have a successful career and have a comfortable life but the problem is that I am still single. I must unashamedly admit that I want to settle down in a loving marriage with a man who loves, cares for me and cherishes me. I also want to have children in a loving and secure marriage. I am not currently in any relationship. I desperately need advice on how to make my dream of a happy marriage with loving children come true. Please advice. My Dear, You are not…

In the world of branding, one of the major tools brand makers use is a ‘logo’. While this is very straight forward to understand, not everyone gets it right. Most iconic brands, mega corporations and tech giants all spend a lot of money to develop, fine tune and refresh their company/brand logos from time to time. Everyone involved claim they have everything figured out on this most important asset of identity for their brand. However, brand researchers have shown that just a few companies actually think about the long term impact of what they do with their logos and its…
It is indeed a very sad situation in this day and age that we have a good number of graduates still searching for jobs many years after graduation. It is not unusual for graduates to be unemployed six to seven years after completion of NYSC. One can only imagine how this affects the morale and mental state of the youths. The stories these unemployed graduates narrate about their relentless search for employment after graduation with degrees in various disciplines are myriad and characterized by endless applications, interviews and rejections. This merry go round can be quite frustrating. Without a job,…
The ever wise Buddha said: “If a seed of lettuce will not grow, we do not blame the lettuce. Instead, the fault lies with us for not having nourished the seed.” Nigerian youths are these seeds that aren’t properly nourished by the universities. The nourishment refers to our failing educational system. Hence some of these youths come out ill-informed, misguided, and a menace to our developing society. As a young Nigerian teenager, I have heard about the Asuu strike more times than I have seen 24-hour power supply in this country. I prayed that I never witnessed such when I…
Reading 1 JER 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13 This word of the LORD came to me: Go, cry out this message for Jerusalem to hear! I remember the devotion of your youth, how you loved me as a bride, Following me in the desert, in a land unsown. Sacred to the LORD was Israel, the first fruits of his harvest; Should any presume to partake of them, evil would befall them, says the LORD. When I brought you into the garden land to eat its goodly fruits, You entered and defiled my land, you made my heritage loathsome. The…

Holy Humour Brain Wash A father is in church with three of his young children, including his five-year-old daughter. As was customary, he sat in the very front row so that the children could properly witness the service. During this particular service, the minister was performing the baptism of a tiny infant. The little five-year-old girl was taken by this, observing that he was saying something and pouring water over the infant’s head. With a quizzical look on her face, the little girl turned to her father and asked, “Daddy, why is he brainwashing that baby?” Sunday quote Albert Einstein:…
…Continued from Chapter Fourteen. “What did the test kit say?” I asked, picking up the phone. “It’s positive Ebun. I’m pregnant!” She exclaimed between sobs. “Stop crying, please. Just stay put, I’m coming over to your house now.” On my way, I kept thinking about Lekan and the number of times I got an abortion. The pain I had to endure and the scars they left still haunt me till this day. Tola was most likely to do the same, but I wasn’t sure about her courage. I walked into her room and she was crawled up in the corner…
