Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed.it means the damage no longer controls your life

Your Body Wasn’t Designed for Fake Food.

Stop Counting. Start Thriving.

Think about it:
Have you ever felt truly satisfied after a box of cereal? A bag of chips? A stack of cookies?
Of course not.

That gnawing hunger?
That energy crash?
It’s not your fault.
You’ve been fed ghosts – processed food stripped of life, engineered to leave you empty.

Bread? Just crumbs pretending to be fuel.
Instant Noodles? Sad strings of regret.
Sweets & Snacks? Sugar-coated lies that hijack your hunger.

What about real food?
Eggs?
Meats?
OFALS?
They are honey fuels.
Your body knows exactly what to do with them.

This is ancestral wisdom on a plate:
* Eat 4 eggs and feel full for hours.
* But no, you eat a loaf of bread and then step it down with sodas. Why won't your cells be confused!

Hear me out:
Forget portion control.
Demand NUTRIENT control.
Ditch calorie counting.
Embrace food wisdom.

Over here, we don’t eat:
Lab-made shadows.
Hunger traps.

We eat:
Real.
Strong Food that builds you, not breaks you.
Food that preserve you till tomorrow.


Your body craves truth.
Feed it right.

Affirm With Me:

Today, I choose peace over pressure, faith over fear, and grace over guilt.
I am grounded, present, and grateful for the gift of a new day.
I let go of what I cannot control and embrace all that is aligned with my growth.
I am worthy of love, abundance, and everything beautiful life has to offer.
My energy is calm, my soul is rooted, and my heart is open to receive.
Every breath I take is a reminder that I am alive, strong, and capable.
I speak kindly to myself and believe in the power within me.
Doors of favor are opening, and divine connections are flowing toward me.
Today is filled with miracles, laughter, and light.
I walk boldly into the day, knowing that I am enough.

This news not make me happy about former governor of oyo state late Adebayo Alao Akala 's children
Crisis rocks Alao-Akala’s family as daughter seeks DNA test for siblings, exhumation of ex-Gov’s body
by Segun Showunmi, Ibadan
A legal battle has broken out in the family of former Oyo Governor Otunba Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala after his first daughter, Mrs Oluwatoyin Alao-Aderinto, approached an Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan for an order for a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test on seven individuals claiming to be biological children of the deceased.
She is also seeking for an application for the exhumation of the late Governor’s body to carry out the DNA test.
In a suit filed before Justice Taiwo of Court 12 at the State High Court, ring road, Ibadan with Motion Number I/443/2024, Alao-Aderinto, through her counsel, Oladipo Olasope (SAN), is praying the court to direct that the DNA tests be carried out on herself, including siblings, Olamide, Adebukola, Olamipo, Olamiju, a serving member of the House of Representatives, Tabitha and Olamikunle, as listed in the motion on notice filed before the court.
She also said the tests be conducted at a court approved, accredited laboratory to determine their true biological relationship with the late Governor.
As part of the application, Alao-Aderinto is also seeking an order of court, directing exhumation of Otunba Alao-Akala’s remains from the mausoleum built in the former governor’s Ogbomoso country home for the purpose of carrying out the paternity test.
The results of the tests, she pleaded, should be filed under a sealed envelope and delivered directly to the presiding Judge for pronouncement in open court.
The fresh application brought before the court is a new twist in what has become a messy and prolonged family feud over the vast estate of the late politician, who died intestate on January 12, 2022.
The crisis, which has been brewing silently since his burial became public in October 2022 when one Kemi Alao-Akala and Olamide Alabi, believed to be one of the deceased’s daughters, obtained a Letter of Administration from the Oyo State Probate Registry without the knowledge or consent of Oluwatoyin, the first child.
According to Alao-Aderinto, this singular act was a deliberate and unlawful exclusion that contravene applicable laws guiding intestate succession in Nigeria.
In her affidavit and accompanying exhibit filed in support of her motion, she accused the duo of manipulating facts to claim sole control over the estate, despite the presence of other biological children and heirs.
The estate in question is said to be massive, spreading across several properties in Ibadan, Lagos, Abuja, United Kingdom and the United States of America, including a five-star hotel in Ghana, vehicles and multiple bank accounts containing hundreds of millions in naira, dollars and pounds sterling.
Her position on the deceased father’s estate stems from the strong resolve at ensuring that every individual, including nuclear and extended family members, aides of the former Governors, who served him meritoriously without blemish and yet to identified children among many others are catered for, as against the alleged winner- takes-it -all approach adopted by the duo of the defendants.
The said administrators listed only seven individuals as legal heirs but the position, as articulated by her counsel, is that there is no consensus on the paternity of these persons and the inclusion of some and exclusion of others in the administration of the deceased’s estate raises troubling questions of authenticity and equity. It is on this basis she seeks judicial intervention through scientific means.
In an August 2023 letter made public, her counsel Oladipo Olasope SAN, warned that the exclusion of the claimant who is the first daughter of the late Alao-Akala, violated both moral norms and legal rights, stressing that unless resolved, the dispute could further polarise the family and damage the late governor’s political legacy.

EZEGO OF IHIALA…..KING OF MONEY.

In the 1990s, few names rang out in Nigeria’s pop culture like Ezego—the self-styled “King of Money.” Born Victor Nnamdi Okafor in 1964 in Ihiala, Anambra State, Nigeria

Ezego rose from a troubled youth to become one of the most flamboyant millionaires of his time.

Based in Lagos, he ran the Ezego Shopping Complex, which dealt in electronics and luxury items. His fleet of cars—Limousines, Mercedes Benzes, and Rolls-Royces—lined the streets of Allen Avenue. He was barely in his 30s but lived like a mogul twice his age. Tales of his wealth and generosity spread fast, making him a legend among the youth and a mystery to many.

But Ezego’s rise was as swift as his fall. On 25 December 1999, while driving one of his expensive cars from Lagos to his hometown for Christmas, he lost control of the vehicle near Asaba. He died from injuries later that day.

He was just 35.

His sudden death sparked widespread speculation—some called it karma, others whispered of spiritual retribution. Whatever the truth, Ezego’s life became a cautionary tale of wealth, pride, and mortality.

In the end, the King of Money left behind riches, controversy, and an enduring question: what really lies beneath the shine of sudden wealth?

spiritual controls the physical be wise

If you’re married or not married yet but you want to be a good husband and a great dad someday read this.

This isn’t hearsay. It’s my personal experience talking

1. Don’t keep late nights.
One of the things that earned me serious respect in my house is simple: I come home by 7pm.
I learned it from my dad.
No late-night hanging around. You avoid a lot of unnecessary wahala that way.
If you must stay late. Let your wife know who you are with where you are.

2. Listen to your wife.
I told a newly married friend:
If your wife is a good woman—listen to her.
Women have strong instincts. From experience, 99% of what my wife says turns out right.
Two old men in their 80s even told me the same thing peace starts from listening. Her opinion really matters bro. Don’t take it for granted.

3. Don’t be an absent father.
My kids no dey joke with me.
I bath them. I play with them. I take them out.
And guess what? Children don’t forget.
The little things hold big memory when they grow up. Make out time to always be presents.
This is very important ooo. So you won’t come to say your kids love your wife more than you.

4. Do house chores.
Yes. As a man.
I sweep, I clean, I help. It doesn’t make you less of a man.
It teaches your sons that housework isn’t “woman work.”
It creates bonding with your wife. If I can do it and still have peace-you can too. My kids know I can cook because I do it sometimes. They don’t see it as a big deal anymore.

5. Stick with one woman your wife.
Let me tell you the plain truth:
There is no trophy for sleeping with everything in skirt.
Mekwe is mekwe.
If you want to spice things, spice it with your wife.
Men who stay faithful grow faster mentally, spiritually, and financially. Real men have one woman while boys sleep with anything under skirt anyways choose where you belong.

6. Say “I love you” to your wife and kids.
Even if you’re showing it, still say it.
Some of us never heard it growing up.
Now I say it to my wife and kids daily.
And they say it back.
It makes them expressive, open, and confident.
Teach them to your kids early.

7. Don’t take advice from everybody.
Only learn from people whose homes you respect.
People can advise you how to run your home
but they won’t let you advise them.
If washing your wife’s bra brings peace, my brother wash it well.
At the end of the day, what you need is peace, not public opinion.

8. Never raise your hand on your wife.
No matter what. Don’t do it.
The day you raise your hand even once you’ve damaged something in that home.
Even if you stop, the scar remains.
Your kids will see it and think it’s normal.
The best punishment is silence or just leave the house when you feel like you’re losing control.

9. Last but not the least:
It is your duty as a man to provide for your home.
Do it with pride, no matter the hustle.
Whether you’re pushing wheelbarrow or sitting in office own it.
But also share responsibility, so you don’t break down early trying to carry everything alone.
And as you build yourself, build your wife too.
Nobody knows tomorrow.
How you treat your wife and kids today will determine how they treat you in old age.

What I just wrote is for intentional men
Men who want to be present. Men who want to build.
Men who are called simps or finished men just because they love and lead their homes with sense.

If you’re not one of them, skip the post.
No need to argue or feel triggered.
Those I’m speaking to already know themselves.
Because at the end of the day The kind of man you are at home matters more than the one you act like outside.

Copied.

One of the biggest mistakes I made in my marriage was allowing third parties, especially in-laws, to have too much say. What started as simple advice slowly turned into interference. I was constantly being compared, judged, and indirectly controlled. My husband couldn’t draw the line between family and marriage, and I was left feeling like an outsider in my own home.

Arguments that should have ended within the four walls of our bedroom became family matters. Every disagreement had to be reported, every decision had to be debated with others, and gradually, the love we once had turned into constant tension. Eventually, the marriage broke beyond repair. It wasn't just our personal issues; it was the voices we allowed into our sacred space.

Ladies, please, know how to handle third-party situations. Set boundaries early. Respect your spouse and demand the same. Keep your home sacred. Marriage is between two people, not a whole village. Don’t let outsiders ruin what you’re building with someone you love.

Estradiol spikes & crashes—some others near zero…yes! Naso!

Progesterone drops first, triggering anxiety, mood swings & heavier periods.

Ovulatio*n becomes unpredictable, making cycles shorter, longer, or chaotic!

Symptoms You Didn’t Expect (or Were Told “It’s Just Stress”)

Anxiety & panic attacks—even if you’ve never had them before…

Brain fog & memory lapses—(you go dey forget things very well ..

forgetting why you walked into a room
Insomnia—even when you’re beyond exhausted.

Unexplained weight gain—especially around the belly(gpee tank will be intense )

Worsening PMS & mood swings—like PMS on steroids…

Migraines, joint pain & body aches

How Long Does Perimenopause Last?
Most women experience it for 4-10 years before menopause (12 months without a period).

You Don’t Have to Wait for Menopause to Get Help
HRT (hormone replacement therapy) can stabilize symptoms & protect long-term health…

Nutrition & metabolic support help with weight, energy & inflammation
Strength training is key for muscle, bone & metabolic health
Managing stress & sleep reduces cortisol & symptom severity

You’re Not Losing Your Mind—It’s Your Hormones.
