As a child, I hated my parents for getting married against the advice of health experts who had informed my parents of the risk involved. Both of my parents had haemoglobin S in their blood cell and stood a high risk of producing children with sickle cell anaemia during reproduction.

For 15 years, I hated my parents and even hated the word 'love' since it was their excuse of bring me into this painful and sad world. I was a sadistic child and wished I could just die and get these misery behind me. visit www.soulclaire.com to read the full story.

This is becoming very silly

As much as I believe in the potentials of this government, they need to rapidly put structures in place to address these issues, I bought gas for N2700 in April and in May it had risen to N3700.

Stuffs like Kerosine and gas should not be big issues for a government to manage, there seems to be a major imbalance with regards to revenue creation as against cost of living in this country. If this government keeps focusing it's revenue generation strategy around extorting it citizens with creating necessary avenues for these citizens to create revenues for themselves then, I see no reason why we have a government in the first place.

Food stuff in the market - High
Transportation to place of business- High
Cost of Electricity to run business- High
Cost of Electri bill in domestic homes- High
Cost of Gas and Kerosine- High

Availability of revenue for food stuff - Low
Availablity of revenue for Transportation- Low
Availability of Electricity- Low
Availabity of Gas, Kerosine- Low

For God sake where does the citizen get the money to pay for these things


This nonsense has to stop.

Hello 2Kay

This should not be a problem funny enough my Friend Jennifer from Facebook was asking me to reach out to Nigerians

My website www.soulclaire.com is already part of it

send me a private email to obijonnas@gmail.com here so I can connect you to Jennifer and Mudatha they would guide you on how to set up

Please make sure you contents are not pornographic and send good values about Nigeria because the idea of FBI is focused on airtel users mostly in the north and we don't want to send wrong ideas to them.

Goodluck

@ Superman7 and the gang, I still think it's fashion, I am not fat but I am proud of people who will not allow people like you stop them from living their lives. If a slim girl had dressed same way you would have described her as sexy.

I wrote this article in may http://www.soulclaire.com/2016/05/11/fat-folks-deserve-your-love-attention-and-respect/ to stand for fat people, to show them that no one has the right to hate them because of their size. I wouldn't having a fat lady as mine girl, because to me its not about the size of her body, its about the size of her heart

Superman7:

what is this one saying? Don't you have shame at all? If this girl is your sister, won't you run to the nearest church and cry on her head?

[quote author=Superman7 post=47348274]

I think it should be seen as fashion rather than madness, She is fat but, she not ashamed to flaunt what she has. The idea that fat people are dirty, ugly and unhealthy is a cliché, some fat girls are more sexy than thin ladies.

Love Machine:
Women should control their use of words.

Thanks Boss, I agree but no matter what she says to you, if you really love her, you shouldn't hit her, there are many ways you can punish her, like walking out on her until you cool off, or not eating her food, or not speaking to her for some hours. There is no excuse to hit a woman, imagine if she was your sister, your mother or your daughter and someone hit her, how would you feel?

When violence is mentioned as a subject of any conversation most people connect it with abuse of wives; violence in marriages and relationships could be carried on both men and women. In fact it’s crazier to manage when men become the subject of violence. But because these men are ashamed to talk about it, people assume marital violence only takes place when women are victimized.. read more...@ www.soulclaire.com

Wow! I can only imagine how your mum felt, an amazing gift that can only be granted by the Almighty. Thanks A lot for sharing your experience with us.

If your mum and your wife were under the rain and you had an umbrella that could take you and only one extra person, who would you invite into your umbrella?

Wow, seems your Grand mum lived a very good life, because this is a miracle except your Mum expecting that money.

Thanks for the insight

It would be great to get more details around this sleep paralysis, just to help people with same experience, manage it.

Cheers!

The word 'ghost' comes from a German word 'geist' which means spirit. In English, ghost means spirit of the dead. Most people believe that the human life consists of two parts, the life of the body (flesh and blood) and the life of the soul (spirit).
Most times, people think of ghost as a fierce and terrifying spirit that may have died tragically or in an undeserving way; and that such spirits return back to the world to scare people, especially those who had a hand in their death or connect with innocent people to create a clue to how they died...read more @ www.soulclaire.com

When I decided to write about divorce in Nigeria, people around me discouraged me saying it wasn’t a topic worth talking about and it is seen as a taboo in most African cultures to encourage divorce. While I agree with these people, I also think divorce should never be seen as a taboo, if not a marriage becomes a universal prison rather than universal Institution.

What is Divorce?

Divorce can be defined as a legal dissolution of a union by law or any reasonable body. What this implies is that not all marriage dissolutions should be seen as a taboo.
When is it ok to file for a divorce?
Divorce should not be an excuse for a man or woman to connect with an old or new lovers, but a decision they reach when a marriage has been damaged to an irretrievable point.

Reasons to Justify divorce:

1. No sex-
When a spouse denies the other partner of sex without a good justification, sex is an important part of a union; Sex should be practiced (enjoyed) in a union often, but when couples living in the same home stay for years without having intimacies then a divorce is justified.

2. Abandonment (must be over a year before filing for a divorce)-
If a spouse abandons his/her partner or family for over a year without a good reason as agreed by both partners, the divorce is justified.

3. Adultery-
Adultery in this case includes a large extent unfaithfulness, when a partner engages in sexual practice outside his/her marriage, without consent from partner, then divorce is justified.

4. Rape-
Forcefully having intimacy with partner or parties outside one's marriage can be described as rape and when such acts are practiced by married people, divorce is justified.

5. Separation (over 2years of separation)-
When married partners have been in separation for over 2years due to misunderstanding, divorce is justified.

6. Violence between spouses-
When a spouse experiences violence is marital union, then divorce is justified.

7. Death-
When one's spouse dies, then it is justified when he/she intends to start a new relationship, after traditional rites of late spouse have been concluded.

Reasons for increasing rate of divorce in Nigeria:

1. Poverty-
Marriage needs some level of financial stability to be sustainable, hence when people with little or no source of income go into marriage it becomes very difficult to sustain such a union.

2. Lack of love-
Most couples go into marriage with very little knowledge about marriage, it’s advisable that before couples reach the conclusion of marriage, they should spend months or years getting to know each other to study both positive and negative sides of their partners.

3. Desperation-
This is peculiar to women, most women rush into marriage at young age; while the older single women become desperate to avoid being stigmatized. Hence, they rush into whatever man is available for marriage without spending time to get to know the man.

4. Illiteracy-
If marriage is an institution the there is need for sensitization around marriage, a lot of women due to illiteracy lack the exposure and ability to keep a man; and their men leave the marriage with an excuse of lack of value.

Matrimonial Causes Act
Chapter 220, section 15 & 16
Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990

Divorce in Northern Nigeria

Divorce in northern Nigeria is a said to be one of the highest rate of divorce in West Africa, according to research, one of every three marriages in northern Nigeria fail with the first three years.

In 2009, 45,000 women (divorcees) in Kano under the umbrella of Voice of Widows, Orphans and Divorcees Association of Nigeria (VOWODAN) came together to stage a 0ne-million man march against the high rate of divorce in the state; this made the Government of Kano aware of the menace that divorce causes to the marital policy of the state.

While there is a high rate of divorce in northern Nigeria, men and women in the south are being subjected to even worse experiences than divorce, they witness all sorts of atrocities in their marriages but are afraid of filing for divorce because they think of it as a taboo.
In summary, divorce should not be seen as a taboo or an excuse, it should be seen as the best decision when the damages in a marital union becomes irretrievable.

What a wicked world

How can man created by God take the life another man created by the same Almighty God?

Very interesting insight

Nice one.

I remember when I found out I was expecting my first child! It was a mixed feeling as I was happy and scared at the same time; my fear was that I might not be able to cope with work and pregnancy. I am a slim fit lady; and I am young and fragile. I started worrying about the next 9months of my life and how I would look…lol. God is an awesome God. He made my pregnancy very peaceful, as I didn’t have morning sickness, cravings, swollen feet or any change in my body. My mum always wondered how possible this was because I didn’t look pregnant or act pregnant. But I knew God was doing exactly what I told him to. -www.soulclaire.com

I kept to my antenatal appointments and I took my medications seriously. Fast forwarding to my third trimester. I always said to myself I was strong and I would take my leave from work on a Friday and give birth on the Sunday of that same week because I can do it. I took lots of fruits and exercised a lot. Walking became my hobby. I read pregnancy books and articles like I was having a certification exam and really I was going to have an exam of my life! Lol. I reduced my carbohydrate intake once I clocked 8months and lived more on protein, fruits and vegetable. I just knew my baby would be healthy because I live healthy.

On the 12th day of my due month, I took my leave and wanted to give birth on the 14th but God decided at his own time I will give birth. I stayed home a week resting, taking my walks and preparing my mind. My mum said I was managing my pregnancy quite well. I started walking down the staircase like I wasn’t heavily pregnant.

On Sunday morning, I felt pain like it was my usual menstrual cramp so I didn’t take it serious until I saw blood stains I immediately dressed up and went to the hospital alone because my husband had gone to work that morning. Getting to the hospital the doctor checked and informed me I was 3cm dilated. "I was in labour!" I didn’t know that was how my labour was going to feel like so I went to my mother's house to get my bag but I decided to stay a little longer to rest until I was close to 10cm. My water broke and my mother rushed me to the hospital and informed my husband who had no idea I was in labour. I was taken to the labour ward and the midwife checked and said I was 5cm. I remember asking her what time I would deliver as a large wall clock faced me. She said “madam it’s your first time so 11pm at least” it was about 5:30pm then. I began to remind God that he promised to make everything about me different as he started with a peaceful journey and he can't leave me now. I couldn’t imagine lying on that bed till 11pm; my husband arrived the hospital, to join my mother and I, and they gave me support. My husband kept reminding me of all the books I read especially “Supernatural childbirth” I believed in the testimonies of other women in that book. I kept calm and prayed for speed. It all happened in a rush as I told the lady to check me because I felt like pushing. This was about 6:50pm. She said it’s impossible I should not push, it can't be my baby there already. She reluctantly checked and quickly screamed and rushed to call other nurses to get everything ready. Before she could say Jack Robinson, I started pushing and she said to me "see your baby’s head" so she instructed that I should wait. Apparently the umbilical cord was round her neck. The mid wife carefully cut it off and I gave my third push and my baby gushed out! I didn’t couldn't believe my eyes, it was just so fast. The woman said she underrated me……"how can she underrate God?" I said to myself. My angel was cleaned up and I was cleaned up and held my baby who was the exact copy of her dad.
I had about 9months of pregnancy and approximately 2hours labour and my baby comes out looking like her Daddy; Lol!

I just want to encourage women TTC (Trying to conceive), EM (Expectant mums) to hold on to God for he alone decides our journey and how our life should be. He will make it possible! He did it awesome for me he can do it for you too!

Coolstuff.

We should be careful what we say on social media

Telling a fan to drop out from school because he begged you for money wasn't the best way for a celebrity like Brymo to have handled the situation, he should have just told the guy that it was wrong for him to beg on social media; instead of saying the guy should drop out of school. What if the guy actually drops out and becomes more useless to himself, then i guess Brymo wouldn't be worried about being begged online but being robbed offline.

Education should be seen as a value and not a toy for punchlines.

I recall my first pregnancy experience and how it ended in a shocking miscarriage while I was still in my first trimestral, I recall the doctor telling me that the heartbeat of my un-born baby could not be felt, and advising my husband and I to go for an ultra-scan to confirm what the issue was; I recall tears rolling through the eyes of my husband as he stared through the scan projector and could see our lifeless unborn child.

I had never felt so broken in my entire life, ‘’what if I am never able to become a mother again?’’ I wondered to myself on our way home after I had been induced to flush the child away from my system. I was lucky enough to have an amazing husband and good friends who kept my strong and reminded me the 10 to 20% of known pregnancies have ended up in miscarriage.

Nine months after this tragic experience, I was able conceived again, this time around for fear for losing my child again, I kept the news to myself until I was in my second trimestral, I was afraid and ashamed of being seen as an incomplete woman by the society. I spent most of my free times attending counselling from experienced mothers who had gone through the experience of miscarriage, I took my antenatal very seriously and always kept appointments with my Gynecologist.

In the eighth month, my gynecologist advised that I request for leave from work to have enough time to mentally prepare for labour and suggested that I start eating less so the baby could be flexible to pass through my pelvic. I requested for leave as I was advised and started preparing myself for the labour; four days later, I began to have cravings for yoghurt so I requested that my husband buys it for me on his way from work. I went for a scan that revealed that the size of my baby had increased from 2.78kg to 4.05kg. When I showed the result to my gynecologist, she asked me if I had taken any sugary and fattening food that week, I told her I took yoghurt the previous day and then she advised me to go home and bring my labour kits and requested that I should be admitted that day.

That evening, I was admitted to the hospital and I started contracting in less than 2 hours, I became worried not just because of the size of my baby but also because I had started seeing contraction signs but I wasn’t dilating; so my gynecologist advised for me to be induced to help me dilate well; so we opted for the inducing process. Soon the water burst but because I was dilating very slowly the doctors had to use a caesarian session, at first my husband was against it and asked then to give me more time but when he was informed that it was risky for the baby to still be in there without protections from the ammonal fluid he agreed to the caesarean option. Soon I gave birth to my baby boy, it was one of the best moments of my life and the joy of the new born child made me forget the pain of the operation I had been through. I was grateful to God for making me a mother. My husband was also happy to see his child.

I believe sharing my experience with other women out there would help young women and potential understand that a miscarriage is not be an excuse to give up on motherhood and during the 36 to 40 months of the pregnancy journey women should take their medications very seriously, watch what we eat and drink and most important communicate more with experienced women to help us cope with the challenges that come with being pregnant.- www.soulclaire.com

If this big guy should slap my wife

I will slap him back ooo; first of all only cowards hit ladies, secondly my love for my wife is bigger than the man's size

I can give my life for my wife, so slapping this guy back would be a piece of cake when it comes to my wife.

My view though!

Lol, you got me

This shows how amazing God is, He creates your look-alike in an entirely different space

Nice Post BTW.

Very sad

May their soul rest with the Lord

So young, so promising yet lived for so short a time.

My prayer is for God to give their loved ones strength at a time like this.

Thanks for the share, very insightful, there's no beauty like a union that stands the test of time indeed Majid is a lucky man to have an understanding wife.

It's all about the blocks, their marriage was built with.

I tell people rather than marry for financial security build your marriage with respect, love and trust with these blocks, your marriage would stand the test of time.

I shall celebrate my first year of marriage in 2days and I look forward to more years of true love and happiness and wish Majid more years of marital union and happiness.

May her gentle soul rest in peace

I think our focus should on what kind of life she lived and how her family can bear this lose; rather than how much her casket cost.

Our sense for materialism sometimes overwhelm our sense to feel.

Pretty funny!

Nice.

It depends on the foundation on which your relationship was founded on, no right thinking BF would breakup with you because you lost your job instead he would stand by you and help you through your search for a new one.
My advise would be that you open up to him, and if he breaks with you then honestly he didn't deserve you in the first place. True love should be open and ready to stand the test of our national challenges which includes job lose; you can visit my website -www.soulclaire.com for more insights on love from the depth the soul.

Should Marriage be a prison or an excuse for man and woman to be unsexy?

It's funny how marriage life turns from moments of euphoria and love to moments of boredom and excuses; this leads to men cheating on their wives and recently women cheating on their husbands.

At what point in marriage, does two love birds become complete strangers to the feelings of one another; at what point does the union of a solid marriage become a stage for fights and arguments? I think it’s at the point when both man and woman starts to put the imperfection of one another as valid issues and factors to cause unhappiness, it’s also when both man and woman think their spouse are not worth their sacrifice and most importantly, if man and woman think going the extra mile to look appealing to your spouse is too much work to do.

I lived in a place for over twenty years where I had neighbors (husband and wife) who made every day of their love life ever green; they packed into the apartment as young couples and everyone thought that after a while their ‘crazy love’ would fade; but to our amazement they kept building on this love, I was close to the family so I had access to their home, one thing I realized was that the woman took some steps to make this work where were as stated below:

1. She always made sure she looked good/sexy for her man:
She got his attention by looking good before marriage, why stop now that she had him all to herself as a husband.

2. She was creative with her cooking at all times:
She made sure he always look forward to coming home, to find out what new stuff she had prepared for him as dinner.

3. She was always innovative on bed and at home:
She would treat him like she were a prostitute paid a million dollars to make love to him; when he was stress she was always willing to bath him and give him a good spa; she never shied away from making him know that she found him attractive sexually and told him such words often.

4. The ''I love you’’ phrase never seized from her lips after her usual good morning greetings:
Most couples take the ‘’I love you phrase for granted’’ but as ordinary as its sounds, it could be magic when coming from the heart through the lips, as dating couples such words are said very often but after 5 years in marriage you hardly find couples using such phrase, and they are quick to make excuses about it. For this woman it meant a lot to tell her husband how much in love with him she still was, and always will.

5. She tried in her little ways to support her man and bought him gifts without seasons.

The success of their love also had some contributions from the man, as he also took these steps to make sure he had a happy home.

1. He kept frustrations from work outside his home:
He was open to his wife about good and not so good moments from work, but kept the pressure/ frustration of work away from home.

2. Always kept a listening ear to his wife when she was having a conversation with him:
He understood his wife as someone who likes to talk and played the role of an attentive listener to her, even when she nagged.

3. He always made sure that their differences were sorted before the next morning:
Like all marriages they had trying times and misunderstandings, he made sure he apologizes even when he was right and made sure they never took problems to the next day.

4. He made her happy on bed:
The relevance of a good sexual life cannot be over emphasized in a happy marriage and it should be treated as a priority as a woman deserves to be satisfied sexually from her man, He always made sure of this and was also innovative on bed.

5. He bought her gifts without seasons:
He didn’t need a good season to buy her gifts, and always made sure he never ran out of surprises for her. These actions kept the spices and they always look forward to the next day of loving each other.

Here's to wishing you a happy love life- www.soulclaire.com
