Lately, it’s been raining cats, dogs, elephants and the entire zoo in Nigeria and sometimes the unpredictability of the weather upends our choice of style; one minute we think the weather is okay for a power suit, the next minute we’re leaking sweat and regretting our entire life’s decisions. However, the current weather is such that an in-between fashion piece is ideal. A turtleneck is that piece. This weekend, grab yourself a turtleneck top or a dress and style this versatile piece whichever way you deem fit. But if you are finding it hard to put together the perfect outfit of…

Some people seem to have the impression that relationships and cheating go hand in hand like cake and icing. But is this the case? Or, should this be the case? A colleague of mine said to me once when we were debating this topic, she said “Cheating is never ok, period! There is no excuse; couples in a steady relationship should be faithful and loyal to each other.” I’m prone to agree with her. I have examined myself personally and reflected on how I would react if I were cheated on by a partner that I love dearly. In my…

The birth of soft drink dates to the 17th century. It started off as lemonade before progressing into carbonated drinks which spread like wildfire. Life is ever evolving and changing because, over time, people’s preferences mutate. The competitive market structure in our largely capitalist world promotes and propels these changes. However, time doesn’t always eradicate the need to reminisce on the past. These nostalgic moments help us travel through memory lane. There are several soft or fizzy drinks we’ve loved overtime – coca cola is one of them – however, a few of these drinks met their demise for diverse…
Today, 11th October 2018, being Throwback Thursday, we reminisce on an article written in 2014 by our then Contributing Editor, now Editor-in-Chief, Adaudo Anyiam-Osigwe. We adopt it as our editorial for today, as we mark the International Day of the Girl Child. We draw focus on the issues raised in her Opinion Piece: “#BringBackOurGirls: If The Girls Return, What Will Become Of Them?” https://www.pridemagazneng.com/if-the-girls-return-what-will-become-of-them/ These issues are still as relevant today as they were in May 2014 when it was first published. We, as a society, must rise above hostility and ignorance; the girl child must be treated with the care,…

Some of my friends, while reading this, will think that I’ve lost my mind. However, what I’m expressing here is my personal opinion on how I’ll address an adulterous spouse. If I found out beyond reasonable doubt that my man is unfaithful, I’ll take some time to reflect. Why was he was tempted to stray? Was it a mistake? Have I been approachable and loving towards him? Is our home well kept? How is my relationship with his parents, brothers and sisters? Is it cordial and friendly? Do I offer my shoulder and support when he needs it? Have I been…
The #MeToo movement is proof that against popular beliefs women can, in fact, stand by one another. Women have come a long way, from winning the fight against the right to vote, standing up against sexism, fighting for social and economic equality, to voicing out against sexual violations. Our Woman Crush Wednesday, Tracee Ellis Ross, daughter of Diana Ross, takes today’s spot for her zeal in voicing her support for women who are survivors of sexual violence.

My dear daughter, I’m sure the word ‘passion’ isn’t new to you. The word encompasses the drive of those who put in the effort and heart to achieve their desired goals. Being passionate is a gateway to live a meaningful and well-rounded life. However, you have to understand that passion, unlike rain, doesn’t fall from the sky; you create passion through your actions. If you, like most, have a vision or a dream of what you want to do or be in your life, don’t believe the lie that you must have it all figured out at once. Remember life…
