My Dear, Men have fragile egos. Most men are not comfortable around women who are more successful than them. Because of the general belief that the man is the head of the house or home, the society has conditioned them to think and believe that they are superior to women and they must measure up. Currently, in Nigeria, a significant number of young women have obtained university degrees, improving their chances of gainful employment. Thanks to this progress, more women, like you, may earn more than their male counterparts or in this case, their partners; making them responsible for a…

The beautiful matriarch of the Ayo-Kasumu family celebrated her eightieth birthday last Thursday, August 23, 2018. Her family celebrated her with a thanksgiving service at Our Lady Queen of Apostles Ilupeju, Lagos and a grand reception afterwards. It was a delightful celebration with family, friends and well-wishers. Louisa Olubemisola Ayo-Kasumu (Mama) had this to say: Below is a beautiful poem by Mario de Andrade (San Paolo 1893-1945), a poet, novelist, essayist and musicologist, one of the founders of Brazilian modernism. MY SOUL HAS A HAT I counted my years and realized that I have less time to live by than…
In the wake of his comeback to the Nigerian music scene with his hit song, fake love – which features Wizkid – Duncan Mighty, in such a short time, has experienced a ton of negative media.

Following the rumours, Duncan immediately shot it down with this statement: THE NEXT NEWS WILL BE I USED MY WIFE FOR COMING BACK, WHAT DO YOU GAIN TO TARNISH MY IMAGE WITH LIES THAT…
Tiwa Savage has broken her silence on the rumours that have been circulating the ‘world wide web’, and social media streets of her romantic involvement with starboy, Wizkid. The rumours which were based off on how close the two have been in recent times and their (obvious) fondness for one another has raised a lot of brows. The singer who isn’t new to the game of trolls and negative news has proven – from her chat with Soundcity Radio – that she’s unfazed by the rumours because it’s baseless. In addition, she wants us to know she and Wizkid are…

I woke up in a hospital bed dazed; attempting to make sense of it all; to recall what happened and what I was doing there. I tried to get up, but I couldn’t. I opened my eyes to see my mum by my bedside with a worried look on her face and at that moment, the memories of the previous day came flooding in. “My God! why am I still alive?” I thought as I tried to recline away from her; I felt dirty and I didn’t want my mom there. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I recalled what…
Last week, this column dealt with the subject: Are Men Wired to Cheat? This week we continue on the same theme. “I don’t think I could love any guy again. All they know how to do is to break a woman’s heart. Why can’t they just stick to one woman? What do they keep looking for in other women outside? Look! I’m through with having relationships”. I studied her. She was dark skinned, petite and somewhat irresistible. I could tell she was young; not more than 25 years. That’s why I found it hard to believe that at her age she’d…
We’ve seen guys dress down a suit or formal wear by pairing it with sneakers or trainers, but what Kanye West brought is a whole different level to formal and informal splicing. Our eyes need to adjust a little to view slides and socks as an appropriate suit accessory – right now we just think it’s a pretty weird combo.

A fancy mule Starting at the pinnacle of all things slides, a fancy mule is the perfect piece…
