HealthFoods That Increase Belly Fat & How To Lose It Naturally by akanspat(op): 5:46pm On Feb 26, 2019

1 . Dairy

One known food that increases belly fat is dairy. Millions of people are lactose intolerant and a million others do not even know they are as symptoms of this condition include gas and bloating. Bloating and gas is a result of indigestion and when foods do not digest properly they are converted and stored in no other place than your belly. A lot of our favourite meal recipes include milk and milk simply gives it the taste it needs. However, substitute cow milk with nut milk or any other low lactose milk. Your tummy will thank you later.

2. Sodas

Sodas are sweet and the perfect step down for an equally unhealthy meal. It is also one of the best foods that increase belly fat. Sodas are filled with artificial sweeteners that do your body more harm than good. Sodas can be addictive not only because of their content but also because, sodas condition your taste buds for sweetness. One thing for sure is they do not satisfy the thirst, sodas only make your taste buds tingle and want some more. Also, some people feel the hack is to drink diet soda but here is a bubble buster. Diet soda simply does not take up the calorie space that your body will be urged to fill later. Soda’s sweetness increases the production of insulin; at this point, the insulin can either convert the sugars or store them as fat.

First Date Ideas
Go to the movies
Going to the movies is a big winner if you’re looking for first date ideas. You can never go wrong with it. The only way to mess up is to pick a horrible movie. Sitting next to a talkative is also a big problem. However, movies are great. Going to the movies is always a date idea because everyone loves it. You can take the lucky partner to see a new release. It will also make room for conversation and pure, fun expressions.

Visit an art gallery
Art galleries are calm, not so noisy and beautiful. Visiting an art gallery is an amazing first date idea for art enthusiasts. Taking them to a creative space is something they appreciate. It can also be an avenue to bond with your partner. Do not take a person with no interest in art to an art gallery. It will only end up boring. It will make a better first date idea to look into the exhibitor. This will give you a background knowledge but don’t fake it. Allow your date to tell you more.

Fine dining won’t hurt
Fine dining is the oldest trick in the first date ideas game. It is usually expected. It still earns you points, and it never gets old. Fine dining will always be a thing. You no longer have to break the bank for a good lunch date or dinner. There are more affordable restaurants near you. Find one that fits your budget and the mood of your date will align. Your first date idea must be unique. You do not need to engage in critical thinking. Fine dining is not unique but how and where you do it, is what makes it unique.date ideas

Fun Date Ideas
A day at the beach
Fun date ideas can be hard to come by. This is because different people consider different things fun. It does not stop you from moving forward though. Let’s assume you know your partner much better, go to the beach. a day at the beach puts the fun in date ideas. The beach is the place to stick your toes in the sand and have fun in the sun. You can make sand castles and run from the waves. At the beach, you can lay almost bare and soak up some sun. You can also have coconut drinks and dance to your own music.

Attend a concert/festival together
Concerts are always loud and filled with energy. The best thing is when you get early bird tickets to something like a Beyoncé concert. This is a fun date idea above fun date ideas. Your date will marry you without you even asking. Beyoncé delivers the best performances of all time. She can tear up any stage. The fact that you are taking your date to experience such energy will be amazing. Concerts and festivals have a way of transmitting positive energy through the air. There’s nothing like a fun date with new things to try and a cheery mood.

Go site seeing
Site seeing is always fun. That’s what makes it a fun date idea. Each site has an exciting background story and it will be a fun experience with your date. You can tour each location or make touring sites your special thing. Site seeing is not just a fun date idea, it takes you out of your comfort zone, into another reality.

CultureYoruba Tribal Marks: A Heritage, A Culture by akanspat(op): 4:32pm On Mar 12, 2018
https://viral.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/14568086_1191754880887203_3943262972249330620_n-900x546_c.jpg

Tribal marks as the name implies are scars, designs or cuts peculiar to a tribe. Yoruba tribal marks are inscribed by cutting or burning the skin at childhood. These marks have various meanings, formerly used as a mode of identification during the slave trade amongst Yorubas in Nigeria, Benin and Togo, without tribal marks one was not considered a full member of the Yoruba society.  Tribal marks define a part of the Yoruba heritage and culture. Individuals who did not have tribal marks were referred to as ‘Okola’. The tribal marks made it easy to identify your clan during and after wars, invasions, slave trade etc. Also, tribal marks were used to recognize children considered to be ‘Abiku’, ‘born to die’. Ladies with tribal marks were well sought after and married off with huge bride prices.

A then form of beautification is considered a barbaric act amongst many today. Tribal marks are done using a razor or form of the blade to make incisions and local dye/pigment rubbed on it to darken the cuts. With the growth in literacy, use of names and ever-evolving culture, the majority see no need for tribal marks anymore. It has been realized that tribal marks are in fact mutilation and should not be encouraged as it can lead to infections, bullying and the likes. Marking a child's face is now prohibited by law in some western states. Violators are subject to fines and possible imprisonment.

History is still visible on the older generation and numerous millennials as they still have tribal marks. Here are some tribal marks unique to Yoruba culture.

Owu Tribal Marks
https://viral.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/25971-be59a8-1-800x414-768x397.jpg
The Owu tribal marks consist of six or more incisions one each cheek. These marks are unique to indigenes of Owu kingdom in Egba land, the land we know as Abeokuta today, in Ogun State. These incisions come in form of three vertical incisions above 3 horizontal cuts.

Gombo Tribal Marks
https://viral.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/aaaa.jpg
Gombo Tribal Marks are long incisions traced down from the side of one’s head along the jawline to the corner of the mouth on both sides of the face. This mark is commonly seen on the Ogbomoso people of Oyo State.

Abaja Tribal Marks
https://viral.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/16805883ce45b8732566268246df4c1e.jpg
Peculiar to people in Oyo town, Ibadan and Ogbomoso as well, Abaja tribal marks are inscribed by cutting four horizontal marks and two vertical marks above them on each cheek. This tribal mark style can also consist of three or four horizontal marks on each cheek and sometimes twelve, having 6 on each cheek, like cat whiskers.

Pele Tribal Marks
https://viral.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/images-1.jpg
The Pele tribal marks are unique to indigenes of Ife and Ijebu. This tribal mark style consists of three lines on each cheek. Pele comes in variants, Pele Ife which is peculiar to nates if Ile Ife, Pele Ijebu, and Pele Ijesha, which are unique to Ijebu and Ijesha natives respectively.

Ondo Tribal Marks
https://viral.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-Adewale.jpg

Tribal marks which are most visible among indigenes of Ondo state are referred to as ‘Soju’ and ‘Jaju’. The Soju marks are inscribed by cutting vertical lines on the cheek, beside the nose, running down to the mouth. Jaju marks consist of a single vertical mark on each cheek.

Can you recognize your brother or sister by his or her tribal marks alone?

Nairaland General2019: Why Buhari’s Second Tenure Is A Necessity – Ijaw Leader, Aribogha by akanspat(op): 11:58am On Feb 03, 2018
An Ijaw opinion leader and legal luminary, Dr. Clarkson Aribogha, has said that it is politically harmful to the Southern region for former President Olusegun Obasanjo to suggest that President Muhammadu Buhari should forget the 2019 Presidential election.

He said that the call would definitely pave the way for the North to elongate its hold on power in Nigeria for another eight years after the end of Buhari’s four years.

Dr. Aribogha, in an interview with journalists said that if another northerner took the place of Buhari in 2019, as implied in Obasanjo’s broadly publicized letter, the northerner would want to rule till 2027, thereby giving the north a third tenure in a possible power equation to the disadvantage of the south.

He said: “We have internal arrangement concerning the south and northern part of Nigeria. When I say the south, it can be the south-west, south-east or south-south because we have rotational presidency arrangement. Now, it is the turn of the north that has produced the president in person of Buhari, who is currently representing the north.”

“By constitutional empowerment, the north has the right for a second tenure. My fear for the future is the impending conflict between the north and south, but if Buhari is replaced and another northerner comes on board, it will cause some problems because it will elongate the tenure of the north than the south because the next person coming after Buhari will surely go for second tenure.”

“By so doing, the north will have third tenure to the disadvantage of the south. So, Chief Obasanjo has not touched that area. I really want him to address that area because of the confusion that will trail the replacement of Buhari in 2019,” he added.

Arigbogha asserted: “However, I am pleading that Nigerians should allow Buhari to complete the two tenures for the north, thereafter; the pendulum will shift to the south. No doubt, this will bring about peace in our democratic system in order to avoid crisis in the nearest future.”

“I will describe that letter to the current President by Chief Obasanjo as a personal opinion and that is how it stands. I wish to also label it as an advice to President Buhari. Obasanjo is one of those former Presidents and Head of State that had ruled this country. Danger of dropping Buhari He said that those in the south, who want Buhari out in 2019, erroneously calculated that they would undo the north, not knowing that.

“if Buhari is dropped, it is another northerner that is coming to replace him. Indeed, the north is not losing anything; my argument is that there should be equal representation for both north and south that one side should not spend more time than the other. Hence, I am saying that Buhari should be allowed to complete the north’s second tenure because if Buhari is replaced, any other person coming will elongate the tenure of the north.

“I do not think that the rotational presidency we are doing now is based on the six geo-political zones. The fact is that we have northern and southern part of Nigeria, so, my argument is that the presidency should rotate between the north and south,” he added.

Nairaland GeneralWhen Is The Right Time To Move Out Of Your Parent's House? by akanspat(op): 3:41pm On Aug 17, 2016
Moving out of your parent's house can sound scary, I mean you get free food, you don't pay rent and you also get free cable tv. But the truth is you'll still have to move out, but when is the right time.

Am sure you say let me stick around a bit, save some money then move out, it's easy to avoid rent and all those extra bills when one is still home. Moving out is also going to affect your budget and your maturity level since you have so many responsibilities. If you live in an old-fashioned household where the expectation is to stay at home until you’re married, and you’re cool with that, then rock out. But I think that also has a limit. Now the question is when is the right time to fly free?

When you can pay rent.
A number of people will claim that they’ll move out once they are financially stable, I think you should move out once you can pay rent. You probably can afford a mini flat on the mainland but you waiting till you can afford one on the Island. Here being financially stable to this person is affording a flat on the island when he can get an amazing one on the mainland.

When you have to commute to work.
If your parent's house is miles away from your place of work and it takes you hours to get to work from home, you have to move out. It is just logical.

You come home late often.
If you come home late often, you should definitely move out. Your late nights will definitely worry your parents. To save them from the worry, move out and get a place of your own.

No room for your stuff.
You really can't leave in your parent's house if there is no space for your things. If you like to personalize your space

No Privacy
Every Adult is entitled to privacy. Once you feel you are not getting privacy in your parents home, it's time to move out.

Rules
If you are the type who doesn’t like living under rules, living with your parent's house rules would be hard. You should start considering moving out.

When bringing the opposite sex home is awkward.
Dating is just one giant mess when you live at home. What happens when your date wants to come home with you?

When you are close to 30

You’ll just have to learn to be an adult at some point. Moving out will give you the opportunity to be responsible for yourself. But really what are you still doing home at 30.

When your Younger Siblings don't even live at home.
If you still stay home when your younger ones don't even live with your parents, be sure that they are going to make fun of you.

When your parents start's giving you hints its time to move out

When your parents start to show signs they want you out of the house, my friend 'start to dey pack your load'.
