No man has a face anymore! With everyone’s bonce buried on the lighten screen clutched in their hands. A man with his eyes glazing the ground knocks a road passer flying, falling on his face after tripping over him. Upon realizing he could see, there arouses an inferno of seethe, and he apologises for his sins. My fear lies more with those behind the wheels. They could die and kill. once I could have been hit, I ran to the other side of the road and he ran straight into a pole. An addiction that sweeps the age has…

Holy Humour The nut is in heaven! A newly-ordained pastor, in the first days of his first call, was attempting to console the widow of an eccentric man who had just died. Standing before the open casket, the nervous young pastor said, “I realize this must be a very hard blow for you, Madam. Just try to remember that what we see before us is only the husk, the shell of your dear husband–the nut has gone to heaven.” Sunday Quote Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. – Blaise Pascal…
Reading 1 Phil 3:3-8a Brothers and sisters: We are the circumcision, we who worship through the Spirit of God, who boast in Christ Jesus and do not put our confidence in flesh, although I myself have grounds for confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he can be confident in flesh, all the more can I. Circumcised on the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrew parentage, in observance of the law a Pharisee, in zeal I persecuted the Church, in righteousness based on the law I was blameless. But…
Men! Men!! Men!! Is love real? Does love even exist? Now I believe that love is a figment of my imagination. What do men really want in a woman? Does love really keep a man committed? You need to understand why I’m asking these questions. I was born into a respectable family. My siblings and I never lacked anything, we weren’t poor, neither were we rich. I was sent to one of the best schools and got admission into a well-known university. It was during my university days that I met Tayo through an online dating app. We talked online…
Elizabeth Kimani-Murage, African Population and Health Research Center Kenya has, over the past two decades, made tremendous achievements in promoting breastfeeding. The number of babies who were exclusively breastfed for the first six months of their lives rose from just 13% in 2003 to about 61% in 2014. This was achieved largely because of two programmes led by the Ministry of Health: the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative and the Baby Friendly Community Initiative. The hospital initiative promotes breastfeeding in hospitals at the time of delivery, while the community initiative promotes breastfeeding at home. Breastfeeding is important. It lowers incidences of…

Edmund Keogh, University of Bath It’s a commonly held belief that women are better able to tolerate pain than men. The reasoning behind this is often that women are built to withstand pain because of how frequently they experience pain in their lives from events such as periods and childbirth. On the other hand, when a typical man gets a cold he’s often laughed at for suffering a bout of “man-flu”. There are clear and consistent gender differences in the perception and experience of pain. But are such views really a helpful way of thinking about men and women’s pain?…

Zoe Strimpel, University of Sussex Matchmaking and dating services used to advertise in small rectangles on tube carriages, next to the vitamin drinks and food delivery services, and in smaller rectangles still on the classified pages of newspapers and magazines.

But the campaign, with its slogan “love your imperfections”, was not universally…
