Romance / 5 Reasons Nigerian Men Don’t Want To Go Into Marriage Early by postiva: 4:44pm On Feb 21, 2018
Here’s a very interesting topic when it comes to marriages in Nigeria. We get to see weddings holding every weekend and even some weekdays, see people get dressed for Owambe parties (weddings specifically) in various part of the country , still, so many men are scared of getting married.

We rarely hear any young man say boldly that he wants to get married as soon as possible unlike ladies who are always eager and ready to get married.

Here are five reasons why Nigerian men are scared of getting married.

Unemployment

This is the most important factor that is considered by very young man. Unemployment and being employed but not well paid are top reasons men are scared of going into any sort of marital commitment. They mostly want to be financially stable before going the family way or handling marital responsibilities. Also, no woman wants to settle down with any man who isn’t capable of being in charge, taking up responsibilities as every husband is meant to do.


Excessively Expensive Wedding Cost

Wedding costs differ from tribe to tribe, in some Nigerian tribe, Marriage is so expensive that the husband has to pay every dime that has been spent on his bride-to-be by her parents. Nigerian men , thinking of how much he has to spend from Introduction, to Engagement then White wedding, they tend to get discouraged and end up not wanting to get married or deciding to settle down with a woman from less extorting tribes.

Loss of Freedom

Most Nigerian men are scared of losing the freedom they already had, sticking to one lady all his life, not being able to go out and come home any time he wants, not being able to go to parties and clubs with friend. Lack of freedom to do these things leaves them with a phobia for marriage because one they are married, their wives should be informed about their movements.


No Lady With “Wife Material” Qualities’

This is another and most popular excuse Nigerian men give for not wanting to get married. Most Nigerian men want a lady that is subservient , one who does all he says and never complains. They believe that a wife should be a combination of a good cook, a capable washing machine, a very good bed mate and a woman capable of supporting them in hard times but when they find a lady who doesn’t have these complete qualities, they don’t want to settle down.



Searching For Self-Made Ladies

Some men don’t want to go into marriage early because they don’t want to settle down with a lady that isn’t self made, one that doesn’t own a business or has a successful career, they want a lady who is ready made, one that can help in sharing the household responsibility.

These reasons given are just little out of numerous reasons Nigerian men don’t want to get married, which leaves us with a question, if we have so many unmarried men, then who are the ones getting married every Saturday?.

Food / Good And Bad Things About Being A Vegetarian by postiva: 5:38pm On Apr 20, 2017
Good and Bad things about being a vegetarian

There are really 6 forms of vegetarian eating.

Vegans eat fruit, nuts, grains and vegetables and don't eat anything that comes from animals; e.g meat, eggs or dairy foods like milk and cheese.
A lacto-vegetarian eats fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains and dairy foods (lacto is a Latin word that means milk).
An ovo-vegetarian eats fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains and eggs (ovo is a Latin word that means eggs).
A lacto-ovo-vegetarian eats fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains, dairy foods and eggs.
Pesco-vegetarians eat fish, fruit, nuts, grains and vegetables (pesco means fish).
Semi-vegetarians eat everything except red meat.
Why people become vegetarian

There are many reasons why people become vegetarian, and here are some of them.

They like the taste of vegetables, fruit, nuts and grains.
They don't like the taste of meat.
They cannot bear the thought of eating animals.
They have religious beliefs which prohibit the eating of meat.
They've grown up in a vegetarian family.
Meat can be too expensive or not available where they live.
They believe that they are healthier when not eating meat.
They think it is better for the environment not to eat meat.
They want to be like their friends.
Vegetables are cheaper than meat.
Staying healthy on a vegetarian diet

As well as protein, fat and carbohydrates, your body needs minerals and vitamins for you to grow and stay healthy and strong.

No one type of food has everything you need. That is why it is important to have a variety of foods in your diet.

You can still get all that your body needs if you:

Eat protein like legumes (e.g. lentils and chick peas), nuts, eggs, dairy foods, chicken or fish every day.
Eat foods rich in iron like dark green vegetables, dried peaches, figs, apricots and wholemeal bread every day. Some breakfast cereals have extra iron too.
Eat food rich in vitamin C like fruits including citrus fruits and bananas as well as vegetables like capsicum, broccoli and tomatoes. These foods also help you to absorb the iron that is in vegetables and cereals.
Get calcium, to help you grow strong bones and teeth, from milk and dairy products.
If you don't eat anything at all from animals you may need to take vitamin tablets or capsules, especially B12, and extra calcium so that you stay healthy.Everyone should do exercise at least three times a week and get plenty of sleep, especially kids who are growing.

Good things about being a vegetarian

Everyone needs the minerals and vitamins in vegetables anyway.
Vegetables can fill you up quickly so that you don't over eat.
Raw fruit and vegetables need a lot of chewing which is good for your teeth.
Vegetables are cheaper than meat and often quicker to prepare.
You can eat hot, cold, cooked or raw vegetables.
You can have a wide variety of foods to eat.
There are lots of vegetarian recipes around for you to try, including exotic dishes from countries where most people are vegetarian.
Being vegetarian can be good for your health.
Not so good things about being a vegetarian

The stricter the vegetarian diet, the more chance there is of not getting all the protein, minerals and vitamins that a growing kid needs.
It can sometimes be a problem finding something to eat when eating out.
Some friends' parents or other members of your own family may find it difficult to accept the fact that you are vegetarian and insist that you have a 'proper' meal when you are at their h..... Read all @ http://hubtiva.com/2017/04/20/good-and-bad-things-about-being-a-vegetarian/

Family / The Effect Of Parental Separation On Children by postiva: 1:43pm On Apr 19, 2017
ays family conflict affects children, both in families who live together and in families who have separated.

In families where there is a high level of conflict and animosity between parents, children are at a greater risk of developing emotional, social and behavioural problems, as well as difficulties with concentration and educational achievement.

Frequent and intense conflict or fighting between parents also has a negative impact on children’s sense of safety and security which affects their relationships with their parents and with others. Parental conflict that focuses on children is also linked to adjustment problems, particularly when children blame themselves for their parents’ problems.

‘Good quality parenting’, that is parenting that provides structure, warmth, emotional support and positive reinforcement, has been found to reduce the impact of conflict.

Conflict in families after separation

Parental separation often initially leads to an increase in parental conflict and anger, although for some families the level of conflict reduces when parents do not see each other regularly.

The level of conflict between parents usually reduces significantly in the two to three years after separation, although it remains high in approximately ten per cent of families.

Research has found that following separation and divorce, children are twice as likely to have emotional, social, behavioural and academic problems compared to children from families that are still together. However, this may not be the case in all families.

The increased risk of poor adjustment in children may partly be due to high conflict and other problems in the family before the separation. This may affect the child/ren’s ability to cope with the separation.

High levels of conflict and ill feeling between parents following separation has also been found to have a negative impact on children’s adjustment following their parents’ separation.

The type of post-separation conflict that has been found to have the worst effect on children is that which occurs when parents use children to express their anger and hostility. Children who are placed in the middle of their parents’ dis.... Read all @ http://hubtiva.com/2017/04/19/the-effect-of-parental-separation-on-children/

Business / Addressing The Problems Of Entrepreneurship by postiva: 4:49pm On Apr 10, 2017
roblems of Entrepreneurship

The lure of independence, profit and opportunity lead many to choose entrepreneurial pursuits. The avenues open to entrepreneurs today are greater than ever as the Internet has opened a new field of Web-based business opportunities. Just because there are plenty of opportunities does not mean that starting a profitable business is easy. Financial issues, management problems and marketing failures are issues that many startups face.

Insufficient Capital

Lack of capital plagues many startup firms, and many close because of it. In addition to a lack of capital, insufficient cash flow compounds the problem. In the early days of its life, a startup company may have no cash flow. When product is available to sell, pricing may be difficult. Set the price too low and not enough revenue is generated; set it too high and the resulting slow sales have a negative impact on revenue.

Weak Management

The knowledge and skills of a creative entrepreneur do not necessarily equate to being an effective manager. This dichotomy can surface in several ways. A product that is beautiful to its inventor may not be viewed that way by others, and if the entrepreneur cannot recognize that, no amount of management expertise is going to help. Even with a successful product, the founding entrepreneur may not relinquish the management reins to a person more adept at managing a startup. A weak manager is likely to hire a weak management team with the result being an inadequate business plan and poor operational performance.

Ineffective Marketing

While a small business startup may have a unique product with potentially significant market appeal, it must be able to advertise in a cost-effective manner. Without adequate market research, an entrepreneur has no clue if the timing is right to introduce a new product or if the market is large enough to support the business. Without a clear understanding of the market, the entrepreneur may spend too much to acquire new customers. If the cost to acquire them is greater than the revenue the customer generates, then the firm cannot earn a profit.

Addressing the Problems

Perseverance

Entrepreneurs inevitably face challenges, even setbacks, during their quest for business success. You may have difficulty obtaining the financing to get started or your initial marketing efforts may prove unsuccessful. You may have to face starting all over or even declaring ban........

Health / Adult Acne Solutions And Home Remedies by postiva: 4:40pm On Apr 10, 2017
Detox your skin.
Adult acne is a common complaint that can be persistent and difficult to treat. The first step in controlling acne is to stop over-scrubbing, over-treating and over-touching your skin. Using too many skin care products can irritate skin and worsen breakouts. Stop using them and wait a few days to see if your skin calms down. Then try adding products back slowly, one at a time.

Calm and treat existing pimples.
Use an over-the-counter product with salicylic acid or ask your dermatologist for a topical prescription medication that contains benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin. If your skin doesn't respond, ask whether a short course of a low-dose antibiotic may be helpful or if your acne might be related to another condition.

Fine-tune your diet.
For some people, certain foods can worsen acne. The culprit may be chocolate, dairy or a salty snack food. Try keeping a food diary for 6 weeks. When you experience a breakout, look back at the foods you ate two days earlier. Once you've figured out the suspected acne trigger, eliminate that food from your diet

Moisturize your skin regularly.
Extremely dry skin can have an acne-like reaction, so use a soothing moisturizer every day. Try one that includes a calming agent, such as Strivectin SD Sensitive Skin. These skin care products can help protect your skin from the drying elements and give it a chance to heal.

Rely on a retinoid.
Retinoids help keep pores from clogging up with dead skin cells and breaking out all over again. Ask your dermatologist about prescription retinoids, which are excellent, or try one of the over-the-counter products available from ROC, Oil of Olay, Neutrogena or Shiseido, which are also very good.

Live well.
Adult acne often is related to stress and tension. To reduce stress in your life, try deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga or another activity like tai chi. Be sure to get enough sleep—at least 7 hours a night. Well-rested skin is healthy skin. Limit your consumption of alcohol, which can worsen acne in some people.

Try a home remedy.
Home remedies that can heal blemishes fast include toothpaste, co..... Read all @ http://hubtiva.com/2017/04/10/adult-acne-solutions-and-home-remedies/

Romance / Natural Ways To Make Your Butt And Hips Bigger by postiva: 2:40pm On Apr 06, 2017
Women want to get bigger and wider hips, but they are unable to understand how to get them. Now, you might have heard about the butt and hips implants that many women tend to opt for. These implants are considered to be an easy way for most people to get their body sculpted just the way they want it, but it needs to be said that if the process isn’t done properly, these implants could cause a lot of trouble.

The hips and thighs contain several large muscles in the lower body, such as the glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings. When these areas are excessively lean, you are not in physical danger, but you might feel self-conscious. Boosting your size will not only give you back confidence, but it will also give you more strength to play sports and perform daily functions. To do this the natural way, perform key exercises and make a couple changes to your diet.

Increase your calorie intake with healthy foods.Gaining weight in a nutritious manner can help you to keep your health in check and ward off dangerous medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Add foods to your eating plan that contain healthy fats, such as peanut butter, olive oil and avocados. One pound of body weight is equivalent to 3500 calories; to gain 1 pound per week, add enough calories to your diet that you have a calorie surplus (taking in more calories than you burn) of 500 calories per day.
Warm up for five to 10 minutes before stressing your muscles with resistance training; working cold muscles can lead to injuries. Perform light to moderately cardio activity, such as jumping jacks, jumping rope, brisk walking or jogging.
Perform the lying hip abduction to add muscle and definition to your hips. Lie on your right side on the floor with your left hip and ankle stacked over the right. Support your head with your right hand. Choose a dumbbell that weighs approximately 5 to 8 pounds; hold the dumbbell tightly against the thigh of your upper left leg -- as far down the leg as possible -- with your left hand. Engage your abdominal muscles and glutes and lift your left leg as high into the air as possible while keeping the dumbbell firmly secured to your thigh. Hold the lift for one count and then lower the left leg back to the starting position. Repeat for eight to 12 repetitions and then switch legs. Complete three sets on each leg.
Enhance your hips with side lunges. Choose a pair of dumbbells that will allow you to complete eight to 12 repetitions with proper form. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lift your left leg and push it directly out to the side, by approximately 2 to 3 feet. Place the left foot on the ground and bend your left knee until your upper thigh is parallel to the floor. Hold for one count and then push off the ground with your left foot, bringing your leg back to the starting position. Repeat for eight to 12 repetitions and then switch legs. Complete three sets on each leg.
Maintain mobility in your hips by stretching after your training session. Sit on the floor and extend your legs out in front of you. Bend your right knee and bring the bottom of your right foot to your inner left thigh. Bend forward at the hips and bring your torso to your left thigh. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and then repeat on the other side.


Eat Healthy Fats to Get Bigger Hips


As we have so far emphasized, gaining fats is an important part of your hip building process especially if you were all bones before. However this does not suggest that you go about eating all fatty foods you can find around.
For a nice curvaceous looking hips, all the fats you will be taking in has to be healthy which means all animal fats are off the list. Coconut butter which helps in reducing waist size should be taken in place of regular butter.
Other fats which can help in getting your desired fat level while keeping your waist and hips perfectly intact include coconut butter, olive oil, avocados, fish oil and nuts.

Eat Proteins to Get Bigger Hips

Education / 10 Ways To Prevent Fire Outbreak by postiva: 3:34pm On Apr 05, 2017
Stay in the kitchen when using the range for cooking
If you are leaving for just a minute, turn off all the burners on the range. Going to the basement for a can of tomatoes, or running out to check the mail, going to the bathroom, answering the phone in another part of the house? Simply turn off all the burners. After all, you are just leaving for a minute. You can immediately turn the pot or frying pan back on when you return. Taking this simple step will prevent one of the most common situations that cause house fires: unattended cooking.

Smoking
In addition to its health dangers, smoking is one of the-most-common causes of home fires—and the top cause of home fire deaths. Such fires can occur as smokers lose track of their still-smoldering butts, which then come in contact with flammable surfaces such as couch cushions. Take it outside If you have a smoker in the house, the best way to prevent cigarette-related home fires is to institute a policy of no smoking indoors. "Do it outside, because that typically will remove folks from dangerous spots like upholstered furniture. Most people do not have as many combustible items around outside. In addition, cigarettes should be doused with water before they are thrown away to make sure they are completely extinguished.

Take care using chargers for devices such as mobile phones
Unplug chargers when not in use. Unplug hair straighteners, curling irons and other similar appliances after use. Don't just turn them off at the socket or switch the device itself off, unplug it.

When cooking with oil, keep a lid or flat cookie sheet close by
If flames appear, simply suffocate the fire with the lid and immediately turn off the stove or fryer to let it cool down. Do not try to move the pan. Do not use water. The super-heated water will explode into.... Read all @ http://hubtiva.com/2017/04/05/10-ways-to-prevent-fire-outbreak/

Health / Dangers of consuming too much maggi and other bouillon cubes by postiva: 1:14pm On Apr 04, 2017
Maggi seasoning is possibly the number one ingredient in every West African household used by generations as a cooking companion; you probably couldn’t imagine life without it. I mean, you’ve grown up cooking with it all your life so how bad can it really be?

A medical practitioner, Dr. Festus Olalekan of the Graceland Hospital, Ilorin, has warned against excessive consumption of food seasoning, saying it can damage the brain.

According to him, the amount of sodium in the food seasoning over stimulates the brain cells until the cells die off.

He said that food seasoning with high sodium content should be avoided.

He explained that sometimes people experienced dizziness and headaches after eating heavily spiced food as a result of MSG present in the seasonings.

The above statement may sound very unbelievable to many because most people rely on Maggi cubes for seasoning.

TV and Radio adverts have also made stars out of the users of these products without taking cognizance to health risks of their consumption.

A visit to Maggi cube website reveals that the product is made of the following ingredients

SALT, MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, SUGAR, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED PALM OIL, CORNSTARCH, AND LESS THAN 2% OF DEHYDRATED BEEF, CARAMEL COLOR, NATURAL FLAVOR, DISODIUM INOSINATE, SPICES, TURMERIC, TBHQ (PRESERVATIVE).



Of the above list, three ingredients are major; these are Salt, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), and Hydrogenated palm oil or Trans-fat.



It is no longer news that excess salt in a diet is one of the major causes of high blood pressure; this is the reason why patients that are diagnosed of the disease are made to refrain from salt.

Health / 12 Top Reasons To Eat Walnuts by postiva: 4:48pm On Mar 29, 2017
Oftentimes, the simplest foods are best for your health, and this is certainly the case for nuts, in which Mother Nature has crafted a nearly perfect package of protein, healthy fats, fiber, plant sterols, antioxidants, and many vitamins and minerals.
Among nuts, the case may be made that walnuts are king, as research shows they may boost your health in a number of ways at very easy-to-achieve doses. Eating just one ounce of walnuts a day (that's about seven shelled walnuts) may be all it takes to take advantage of their beneficial properties.
Walnuts belong to the tree nut family, along with Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, and pistachios. Each has its own unique nutritional profile.
One-quarter cup of walnuts, for instance, provides more than 100 percent of the daily recommended value of plant-based omega-3 fats, along with high amounts of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and biotin. Some of the most exciting research about walnuts includes:

1. Cancer-Fighting Properties
Walnuts may help reduce not only the risk of prostate cancer, but breast cancer as well. In one study, mice that ate the human equivalent of 2.4 ounces of whole walnuts for 18 weeks had significantly smaller and slower-growing prostate tumors compared to the control group that consumed the same amount of fat but from other sources.
Overall the whole walnut diet reduced prostate cancer growth by 30 to 40 percent. According to another study on mice, the human equivalent of just two handfuls of walnuts a day cut breast cancer risk in half, and slowed tumor growth by 50 percent as well.

2. Boosts your sperm quality
Eating 2.5 ounces of walnuts per day improves semen quality in healthy young men, researchers say. According to a study by UCLA researchers, eating 75 grams of walnuts a day improves the vitality, motility, and morphology of sperm in..........

Romance / Does It Matter If A Lady Marries A Younger Man by postiva: 3:03pm On Mar 24, 2017
Success has nothing to do with age; it’s about how you create your relationship. If it's built on love, respect and communication, you're on to a winning formula, no matter how old you are. If you're in love and happy, who cares? Don't let society tell you it won’t work. Brave people follow their heart. Others follow other people’s opinions.
There are still pockets of society that condemn such a pairing. But in the future such relationships will be acceptable to everyone. Changing any prejudice takes time. For the first time in history older women are taking complete control of their lives. They're seeing that ageing is an exciting adventure with fantastic options - including dating younger men. Not for everyone tho.
How do you know if dating someone older or younger is right for you?
Ask yourself these questions:
Do you feel comfortable being yourself around them? If this relationship is right, then just because this guy/girl is older or younger than you, you won’t feel the need to act or behave in a way that you think is more or less mature. This person should like you for who you are, so don’t feel pressured to act differently or behave as his/her friends do.
Are you friends? Relationships work the best when they are built upon a foundation of friendship. Can you and this guy/girl talk about anything and everything?
