The times we spent together were wonderful and heavenly, I looked forward to being with him each passing day just to stare into his beautiful eyes, his smiles send shivers down my spine. A few months went by and then it happened! I literally froze when he went down on his knees and popped the question, while we were out on a date, my life long dream finally came true. I was ecstatic and overjoyed as I said yes with tears rolling down my cheek. We began spending more time together on dates and planning for our wedding, it was…

My views are for married women and NOT single ladies complaining of infidelity in relationships when they themselves are fornicating and expecting the man to be faithful. First remove the log in your eyes before looking at the sperk in the man’s eyes. If you are a wife and you are in the group of women that say and believe that “all men are dogs or cheats”, you can skip this post and whatever you profess and believe will come to pass. I’ll say being unfaithful in marriage is wrong, inexcusable and hurts. It destroys trust which is the foundation…

One of the powerful statement I’ve heard that has come to make a lot of sense is that “In every man is a king and a fool, whichever one you speak to will respond”. When you speak to the man in your life, whether your husband, father, brother, cousin or uncle, are you speaking to the king in him or the fool, what kind of response did you get the last time you had a conversation or made a request, was it what you expected? The words of the bishop TD Jakes in HEMOTIONS are revealing particularly messages about men,…

Loving people date and when the time is right, the get engaged and marry. After marriage, some are faced with the the challenge of bearing children either unable to conceive or unable to carry the pregnancy to term. Family pressure builds up coupled with pain and depression, the situation doesn’t get any better. Procreation is a primary reason for marriage as ordained by God that we go into the world and multiply. In some cultures, having a child particularly a male child is the rubber stamp of the marriage. When there is a perceived delay in the realisation of this…

Positive discrimination is defined in the context of the allocation of resources or employment as the practice or policy of favouring individuals belonging to groups which suffer discrimination. In order words, it means treating one person more favourably than another on the basis of their sex, race, age, marital status or sexual orientation. Can something positive come out of this? There is the school of thoughts that those that have suffered some form of discrimination in the past should now be allowed to discriminate against others. The question then to ask is does the society eradicate discrimination by adding more…

Recruitment and human resource personnel play important roles in the life of a graduate, an employee and a contractor. It is likened to the role doctors and nurses play in the life of a patient, one of diagnosis, treatment, care and cure. While doctors and nurses have regulatory bodies that enforce standards and professionalism, the same cannot be said about recruiters, recruitment agencies or human resource staff. At the very best, they are not living up to expectations as there is a growing trend of bad practices by rogue recruiters which appears to go unchecked and unregulated without any obvious…

Nigeria has foreign missions in a number of countries providing consular and visa services amongst others to its citizens. The D-day was around the corner for John to attend an appointment at the embassy for passport renewals for his family and he wasn’t looking forward to it at all. His previous experience at the embassy 5 years prior was nothing to write home about, it was a depressing experience he would rather forget. Being in the waiting room then was like a typical scene at Oshodi, jam packed, noisy, rowdy with people cursing and behaving like touts. It was strange…
