I used to be an avid reader. Back then, I would spend my time reading fiction, romance, and a lirru bit of true crime. At that point in my life, I read for the fun of it. As time passed, though, I found myself reading less of those genres of books. I began to read educational materials—solely because I was in school, and of course, I needed the knowledge. Smirks proudly?. It took a while before I was motivated back to reading diverse genres again. Needless to say, I was encouraged to reach out more for beneficial books on growth, spirituality, finance, and psychology. I understand not ..read more

Most nutritionists focus on advising people to eat and diet well; however, despite the best wishes behind it, not much consideration is given to how this can cater to as many people as can be added to the sphere of inclusion. This being as many people as possible irrespective of their social or economic class. In a failing economy, the primary challenges associated with proper dieting are the high cost and limited availability of nutritious foods, while the setback include a potential increase in healthcare budget since the money isn't going into good and healthy feeding habits in the long r ..read more

If anyone told me my life story would have this scene, I would have screamed at the top of my voice every Thursday for a month. Why Thursday you may wonder, well, Thursdays are for throwbacks and when I remember this story what else am I supposed to do if not scream! After all, It's free.99. Why all these sudden realisations, you might ask… Chile darling they're are not sudden, I only just got a boost of audacity to talk about it. People that have met me would readily and speedily refer to me as a quiet person but the Ogeeees know what's really up?. I feel like I have countless narratives of ..read more

I hate periods. And I'm not talking about the punctuation marks. I'm talking about the monthly curse that afflicts every woman of reproductive age. The cramps, the mood swings, the bloating, the headaches, the fatigue, the acne, the mess. And don't get me started on the sanitary pads. Those bulky, uncomfortable, leaky, smelly, expensive, wasteful pieces of cotton that we have to stick between our legs and change every few hours. Permit me to give slight kudos to tampons though. They come with some advantages. Every month, millions of women around the world rely on sanitary pads to manage th ..read more

Have you ever been in a situation where you've held two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes all at the same time? Yes, right? Have you ever seemed innately conflicted because your thoughts and actions just aren't as consistent as they used to be because they contradict each other? Yes, again, right? Lastly, have you had to bend your reality because that reality – what you've learnt all your life – isn't just adding up anymore? If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, then lemme introduce you to the concept of Cognitive Dissonance. By the way, if you answered ..read more

Hey soul tribe, it's me again! I've missed you all so much. I took a break from this space to gain more experience, and to have other people experience me. It was a good ride, but I must say now that it’s game time peaches! 2023 came with loads of life lessons and you may perceive this in an exaggerated tone when I say I saw it all; but my dears, I sincerely did.  Despite that, I ushered in the new year with a popular Idaboski slang that goes: "This is my year of never suffering".  I am super optimistic that my year is gonna be a beautiful one. Yours too, I know. Nevertheless ..read more

This piece is inspired by a recent nutrition-related chat I had with someone. We discussed fast foods like noodles and their health benefits. But then I noticed that he was speaking from the general public's point of view, he started with the notion- noodles are carcinogenic (cancer-causing) substances, and as such shouldn't be eaten at all.? However, there is no definitive answer or confirmation to the above statement.  He claimed that people living abroad were not really affected by its negative effects because of their *fine* weather. I was so stunned at this point that I couldn't tal ..read more

 A short story ? The age-old alarm clock chimes 11. Outside, the darkness engulfs the Harcourt family house like a blanket. The crickets, in their organized choir give off intermittent chirps. The only source of light in the house, a kerosene lamp illuminates the sitting room, casting yellow hues on the aging cement walls. Mama Harcourt sits on the sofa, reading a women's magazine and sipping juice. It's her sleeping tonic. Countless times, she and her husband had had rows of contentions and brawls over what he called her mannerless spending to uphold an exotic lifestyle. But nothing wou ..read more

  Introduction To say that women are labelled lily-livered, sissy and effete in our present society, would be an accurate statement of fact. Thus, the misogynous use of the word “woman" when referring to a foolish person, a talkative, a coward or even a bad driver. Women are regarded as mere pleasure-giving objects whose ultimate duty is to make the home. This ideology is substantially corroborated in president Muhammadu Buhari's speech made on the 14th of October, 2016 in which he relegated his wife as only “belonging to the kitchen". The sad reality  A Nigerian woman, from an ear ..read more
