Is't this adorable?, Normally i post just about Nigerian lifestyle and updates but today as i was having a nice internet walk through i found this miraculous did. It so shook and interested me that i just could not pass without sharing with my dear cribbers.  Kimberly Tucci , is an Australian mother of two who had tried for 1 year to have another child. She got pregnant and visited the Doctors for a maternity check. When she got there, she got a huge surprise! She's having five babies at the same time! Tucci wrote on her Facebook page, Surprised By Five: “My suspicion of a possible multiple pregnancy grew due to the quick rise of the pregnancy hormone.

FIVE?? My legs start to...

A New Mindset for a New Year

William Shakespeare wrote that “all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” How we define the parts we play shapes the daily drama of our lives. Are we puppets, dancing to someone else’s tune or actors with a dynamic sense of agency, creating new possibilities in our lives? William Shakespeare Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck has found that our sense of self and our success in life are related to our “mindset.” People with a “set mindset” are stuck in the status quo, believing that their intelligence cannot be changed, while those with a “growth mindset” believe that their intelligence increases as they embrace new challenges.  Neuroscience research affirms a growth mindset, for our brains develop throughout our lives, growing new neural connections in response to stimulation. If you cannot use a new computer program or play a musical instrument today, regular practice will stimulate your brain to develop new connections. And after a series of...

Femi Fani-Kayode - The Bewitching Hour

It is 3 a.m. in the morning: the time that is commonly referred to as the bewitching hour . This is the moment that darkness and silence stalks the land. This is the moment that is pregnant with fear, uncertainty and mystery.   This is the moment that evil is undone and that witches return home from their blood-drenched covens. This is the moment that hearts beat fast and that sensitive ears tingle at the slightest sound.   Femi Fani-Kayode   I love the stillness of this sacred hour. I love the power of the darkest morning and the blackest night. I love that bewitching moment when darkness gives way to light.  It banishes inhibitions and it kindles passion.  It heightens sensitivity and it excites the human spirit. It purifies the inner man and it sharpens the inner voice. It brings communion with God and it strengthens the soul. It stirs creativity and it brings peace.    O that that peace would last and that that beautiful stillness an...

Uju Chukwu: Your Mind is a Power Tool

The thoughts in your head are a reflection of what your mouth says. How powerful can our thoughts be? Very very powerful. Has it ever happened that you thought of something, without having the intention of seeing it happen and the next minute you see it happen? Sometimes it might not be as fast as a minute; you might have gone for hours and the next thing you see, it happens. Most times, people even mistake it for a dejavu, but then it is just your thoughts. So if your thoughts can be this powerful, what then are we supposed to do? It’s pretty simple, guard them right. We need to think positive at all times. How does that work? It is a  conscious effort. I will list 2 major points of the conscious effort we have to make: By minding the things you let get into your head : Everybody has something to say, (the good, the bad, the ugly and the worse) but not everything everyone has to say is for you. You do not necessarily have to open up your mind to digest everything or every word th...

Top Reasons Why Most Girls Dislikes Condom

Sexual Infections Although condoms are prescribed to reduce the spread of infections. Ironically, the latex allergies which are the strongest deterrent against Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) cause women to end up with yeast infections and others. Yeast infection simply means that too many yeast cells are growing in the woman’s “private part.” It is very common but don’t let it bother you too much because it can be easily treated. No Children (Birth) Some ladies do everything they can to avoid their partner using condoms. This is because they want children. They feel the best way to totally own a man is to be pregnant for him. However, they seduce their man to sleep with them without using a condom as such, they ‘hook’ the man when pregnancy surfaces. Condom Breaks It is better not to use a condom at all if it will end up breaking.

My Advice To Married Couples By Gerald Rogers

Obviously, I’m not a relationship expert. But there’s something about my divorce being finalized this week that gives me perspective of things I wish I would have done different… After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 16 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had 1. Never stop courting. Never stop dating. Never ever take that woman for granted. When you asked her to marry you, you promised to be that man that would own her hear and to fiercely protect it. This is the most important and sacred treasure you will ever be entrusted with. She choose you. Never forget that, and never get lazy in your love. 2. Protect your own heart.  Just as you committed to being the protector of her heart, you must guard your own with the same vigilance. Love yourself fully, love the world openly, but there is a special place in your heart where no one must enter except for your wife. Keep that space always ready to receive her and invite her in, and refuse to let anyone or a...
