Can money buy happiness indeed?

Money is the reason we wake up by 4:30am, sleeps back by 10pm , it’s the reason for our long fasting and loud night prayers. Money is the reason one will stay overnight to complete a job. It’s even the reason friends betray one another just to be picked for a job. It’s the reason unskilled workers do the most demanding jobs we could ever imagine, to earn some pennies. It’s the reason why some families break up. It is usually the center of our conversations. Money is practically the most talked about topic in the world.

So where do we get this money? Ask every successful person, the only way to make money and become the kind of person you desire is to KEEP WORKING. Money is in the mouth of the lion. You’ve got to work extra effort resiliently to get it out.

Hmmm…it’s hard to accept the life we live, as it is. We’ve always been told to have a positive attitude to life. I listen to several of motivational audios and I nod my head gearing myself up in those uplifting words which charge my mind for some few moments.

Later on, the jumping clouds of happy moments vanish and I am left with my reality. Fear, anguish and sullenness then beam on me.

I’m not objecting the values of these contents or being optimistic generally but it is a fact that when you are real with yourself and the life around you, you will keep your mind straight and be focused on working towards a better life than building castles in the air.

Realism is not the same as pessimism. And realism is best to be adopted in all life situations. From the minute you open your eyes in the morning. For example, you are looking for a job and believe this Friday will be better than yesterday just because a motivational book told you so. Rather face the day with what you’ve got.

The real thing is, you are conscious of your situation, you identify your mistakes and tend to build yourself everyday which makes the today-you better than your yesterday-you and you set out with a focused mind, not a blurry hopeful mind. You might eventually achieve what you set out to do.

At all times, we should do all that we can do and leave the ones we can’t do.

Nevertheless, I won’t ever want to be a pessimist. As I see better side to things (optimism), I want to also be real and happy.

I only wished Tokyo still remained as Edo

The town was renamed Tokyo in 1868

Who doesn’t like the perfect curves all well shaped looking like an angelic character? I don’t know maybe it’s just my unconscious acceptance of the worldly rules or maybe the hour glass shape is nature’s best pick but what I’m certain is I get awed when I sight one.

Waist training is a common process we are familiar with especially among young people following pop culture and trying to bend with new standards and forms. But nevertheless waist training is not a new development (no be today); it is as old as the civilization of man. Elthel Grayer was a popular devotee to waist trainers in the mid-1900 that she is still considered the woman with the tiniest waist (measuring 13 inches).



Women then usually wear waist trainers to look overly shaped and attractive. Maybe it was called waist trainers then but corset, tight-lacing were evidently worn by women but now it’s a new form of poise kit, women wear mostly under the cover to get heads rolling that they are perfectly in shape.

I used to be angry with myself until I realized that the Kardashians sisters were not naturally endowed with those perfect curves and admired shape. I had once argued this with some group of female friends but they stood that these famous sisters were naturally gifted and so they consider themselves ‘an unfair products of nature’ ( I felt that too sha) but when I did fully know (not celeb gossips at all) that most celebs including Amber Rose get those curves as a result of the constant use of waist trainers. I was like ‘I’m the most beautiful natural person earth’ (media has made us not to appreciate the beautiful look God has given us)



The truth about Waist Trainers

Waist training is the process of wearing a waist trainer also known as a waist shaper or a corset over time to decrease the size of your waist. There are some things to note here; the use of this device over time and the expected result (slim waist that complements an hour glass shape).

Using this device over time can cause a lot of issues and it can alter your internal body arrangements. It’s been medically analysed that waist trainers only give you the desired shape when been worn and your body returns back to its shape after you remove it. But continuous usage can change your form over a period of time and when stopped, you can return to your normal self but if you wear it every day over long hours for several years, you can be permanently shaped.

What happens when you get totally devoted to a waist trainer

Firstly, wearing something tight on your waist is outrightly uncomfortable and it’s a stress itself especially when you go about with it. The rules on the use of waist trainers are; don’t wear it while eating or sleeping, one will experience hell even in the coldest of temperatures.

The effect of this uncomfortable fashion torture can be tell on the internal organs



The volume of the lungs diminishes which leads to intercostal breathing (the person will be breathing on top). The liver gets pressed upwards- The shape of the liver gets distorted as the waist line seems to develop ridges across the liver. The stomach gets compressed thereby reducing its volume. This often causes indigestion, heartburn, also those that wear waist trainers can get to eat large amounts of meal at a go. These show it’s not a healthy habit.

Someone said it’s just a means of pushing your stomach to your butt.

I want to look shaped, but I don’t want to experience this

The best way to look trim and shaped is by exercising and regularly watching what you eat. But that might not automatically result to an hour glass shape. Waist bands not very-tight-waist-trainers can be used but how you use it matters. Wearing waist bands or not-so-tight waist trainers during exercise can perform this magic accurately. You can wear waist trainers out if you are comfortable but don’t eat with your stomach stocked around with the device and don’t sleep with it. Also, it is advisable to not wear it tight.

Don’t take waist trainers as a fundamental part of your life.

Let her go and marry. Her mates have born 5 kids

people like you can't be good adviser.... Age doesn't have anything to do with marriage.... It's her life, she may decide not to marry. Smh

Irrespective of who you are, as far as you are conciously on this site then you must have a head covered with brain, two hands and two legs. As well enveloped in that upper chest of yours is the delicate heart.

We are all humans is what I’m trying to say.

This is a video featuring President Barack Obama displaying what he does in his inner closet. The video is to promote HealthCare.gov by buzzfeed.com but it’s kind of inspiring as well.

This is to show you that you should never be hard on yourself and live your gorgeous life as it is made to be lived.

Check out the hillarious video and the footage as well.

What President Obama does when no one is around just like every normal person

He checks himself out in the mirror…



And makes funny faces.



He tries out new looks…



And sketches pictures of his crush.



He busts out a selfie stick to get the perfect angle…



Obama’s selfie game is strong.

And he even blames Obama when things go wrong.



He might be the president of the United States, but he’s also human!

It’s been said even scientists don’t know the beginning and will never know the end of time. Time is one of human inventions so we have to use it to our benefits. Yea you are right… it’s easier said than done, God is the One who can teach us how to number our days (silently prays).

Ok, let’s move on…

Have you ever set a clear goal and excitedly share with your friends but at the end did not happen?

Talking about goals, everyone has something they set to achieve every day or every now and then depending on their area of fulfilment. There are absolutely nothing wrong setting goals; these are the breakdown of to-dos that aim towards achieving your great goal (your dream).

I define a goal as a clear task you set to achieve at a particular time for a particular purpose. One can set goals to achieve a career dream, to get desired weight, be proficient in something, be closer to God or to be a better person.

The basic thing is we set goals to take us from where we are to where we want to be so this is like a thing to boast off especially with the wide drive in this present generation where everyone wants to be the first to invent and create new things.

Shouldn’t you announce your goals, so friends can support you?

Everyone wants to succeed but why do you choose not to talk about your goals?

The above fact (the heading) is actually true that if you talk about your goals or your plans, you might likely not achieve them.

I re-launched my site yesterday to the shock of most of my friends. I still told them I wasn’t sure when I would reopen the site some days before I did. Does it seem like I’m a dishonest person?

Someone explains to me that whenever she says she wants to achieve something, she believes ‘the devil’ will hear her and work against her plan so she keeps it in her mind and just do it at the exact time she planned.

These are definitely the opinions of most people.

“I don’t want to talk about it because the other person might cast a spell on me”

“No, people are wicked, lets me bottle up my goals and plans”

I haven’t seen the devil yet, but I think our ego is must times the devil here. Even a research found that those who kept their intentions private were more likely to achieve them than those who made them public.

This is the reason,

Once you’ve told people of your intentions, it gives you a “premature sense of completeness.”

You feel like an achiever already. As you talk about it, the image is formed in your brain and your brain tags it as, been done. The author identified it this way; “Since both actions and talk create symbols in your brain, talking satisfies the brain enough that it neglects the pursuit of further symbols.”

You can talk about it without feeling this way depending on who you are telling. I make sure I’m very certain that someone will be of help to achieving my set goal before I spill it out. I just want to work it within me and my God and the result should announce itself.

Also, one feels less burdened and free because no one knows what one is about to do and there is no unnecessary torture just because everyone already knows. This gives you a greater chance to analyse the goal again, redefine it or even cancel it if the need be.

Do you support or oppose? Let’s hear you out

By Adenike Bamigbade
Captured in every scene in the dream, I was really enjoying every role even though I didn’t understand the occurring situations but I was completely charmed and fascinated so I felt relaxed and was enjoying it not knowing it was morning already and my mom had been hitting me to wake up as it was time for morning devotion.

With the constant pummeling, I saw myself in another scene still in the dream world doing some heroic role this time. I was been pounded, but I never gave up, I continued to fight and also did some kung fu moves as I flew and somersaulted just like Jet Li. The scene was clearly like the “twins warrior” movie. I was fierce and ardent even though I was receiving several pouches I was still determined to find the perfect weak point to hit. In my sub-consciousness, I was like “ I will not give up until I destroy these mutineers” so I did not give up waking up either and still in the battle-field exchanging blows with my foes.

Maybe the battering was not enough in the dream or my mom’s beating was not sturdy enough but before my senses could realize what was befalling them a sizzling and blistering slap landed on my face both in the dream and in the real world “pauhhhhhh….”


My brain could not stop transmitting the interpreted message (the slap) to my motor neurons and the necessary effectors couldn’t stop responding “yehhh ohh…. !” as I yelled out to life. My scream not only made me wake up to the real world but also saved my mom from expending energy on my other siblings.

Weak and tired cause I just had like three hours sleep as I was surfing the internet throughout the night, I sat there angry and furious but I couldn’t do anything except if I wanted more of that sizzling slap so I kept muted and was stylishly stealing some forty winks.

“Now the Psalms we are reading this morning are psalm 41, 42, 43…” my mom chanted expecting some responses. She was mistaken cause we were already far gone. After all, you can force a camel to the river but you cannot force it to drink water but this cliché my mom disobeyed as we were forced “to pray”. Before we could say Jack Robinson and tried to wake up the worst of it all landed on our faces.

The sleep disappeared immediately; my eyes became wider than that of an owl. Mehn… my prayer was the loudest. *winks*

School sweet o, na exam spoil am. Back then in school so many things happened. Just wanna pen down one of my awkward and most embarrassing moments. I swear ignorance is a disease.

As a fresher back then in school good looking or not good looking, guys will always flock around you sha, be it staylite, lecturers, non-lecturing staffs, even HOD’s are not left behind, as if the staylite ain’t enough for them to woo. Some female freshers usually fall victim, but I was never a catch. *proud self* All thanks to BSF(Baptist Student Fellowship) that caught me young, who knows if I would have been deceived by those heartless lecturers with dead conscience.

Shola *my to-be boyfriend* whose dad owns a pharmacy store just a stone throw from my apartment, schools in another state, whenever he comes around we just say hi and that’s all *clears throat*.

But deep down in my heart I wanted more than that “hi”. With time, we exchanged digit and things went the same. As God would have it we attend the same Baptist church whenever he’s back at home though he seldom attends church service.

Early on one cool Saturday morning, I was busy cleaning up. My phone rang, lo and behold it was Shola on the phone, my heart was racing and I became tongue-tied cause that was the very first time he would call since we exchanged contact. I could feel my heart almost jumping out of my chest, his sweet voice (the sweetest I have ever heard in my life) was like cool shower relieving my tension and nervousness. He said he would like us to meet and talk, I felt like a fool in love. The meeting place was his dad’s shop.

I was so excited that I could hardly curtail my excitement, everyone thought I had just won a jackpot. I cooked my favourites meal that noon *spaghetti and egg* and even delightfully shared some portions to my neighbours which was unusual *am not the stingy type o ,but I had never been nice like that sha*

Exactly 2’o Clock on dot, I was already preparing to meet Mr Prince Charming. I tried on almost all the cloths in my wardrobe before I could pick the perfect one. *as if I was going to meet an important personality* By 4 I was already set, 5 minutes later he called to ask me where I was. You need to see the way I was on that day, I practically expended all my energies to look good and he did notice it and commented that I looked beautiful. * If he had not, I would have cried my eyes out when I got back home*

We got talking, he was not boring at all. *I enjoyed his company* As if I was dreaming, he asked if I would like to be more than a friend to him. It was like someone poured cold chilled water on me, I froze for some seconds but had to re-adjust myself so that he would not notice how much I felt like jumping and screaming on the top of my voice screeching “Yessssssss”. But I had to form *hard to get* (yimu). You know as a typical Nigerian babe, you have to deal with the guy for some time so I told him the usual thing that I was going to think about it. He walked me home, I was feeling fly all through the night just as if I received my monthly feeding allowance.

After then I was always looking forward to seeing him so I would find one thing or the other to do around his dad’s shop. One day, a co-tenant in my apartment, Lola who was a student too asked me to buy a drug for her at the pharmacy shop (the only pharmacy shop was Shola dad’s shop). I didn’t even hesitate, I gladly accepted to buy the drug for her. She gave me a sachet of Postinor 2 and a thousand naira note. I zoomed off straight to shola’s dad pharmacy with an intention to see Shola’s face again*. I was glad to meet him there, we exchanged pleasantries and talked briefly. The shop attendant attended to me and I left.

Immediately I got home Shola called me on the phone and a conversation ensued;

Shola: Hi, who owns the drug you just bought at the pharmacy?

Me: (smiling) It’s mine (I thought Postinor 2 was a regular pain killer)

Shola: Ahh… wait, you bought that drug for yourself?

Me: Yes na, I bought it for me to use (still feeling confident)

Shola: (chuckled) Do you regularly use it?

Me: Yes, I do (I was not concerned with the drugs but his voice)

But this time, I felt uncomfortable with the questions cause I didn’t understand why I would be questioned for buying a regular paracetamol. Then I jokingly asked him why he was asking me series of questions. With a stern voice, he said he was highly disappointed in me, I was like “Maka Why”, and he dropped the call.

I couldn’t understand what was happening and so I went to Lola’s room I asked what the drug was meant for? She laughed at me, asking me if I was a novice. She said Postinors are contraceptive pills used some hours after having sex. I was mad, I shouted at her. I felt like a complete idiot to have even accepted to buy such a drug for her. Why would she have picked ME?

Back to my room I was totally confused *is this how my to-be boyfriend would leave me for another and the fact that I no longer have dignity in his sight* I called him to explain my plight. All he could say was ”ok motigbo” meaning “ok I’ve heard you”.

Don’t ask me if we eventually dated.*winks*

Ignorance is not good ooooo. I felt ashamed of myself.
