Introduction You know that classmate in primary school who had trouble pronouncing words and we all laughed at, anytime she or he was called to read out loud from the English text?

Heimlich Maneuver
So I learnt about the Heimlich maneuver today and as usual I will share. I was scrolling randomly on social media as I do when I am bored, and I come across a story by Will Smith wishing Henry who this procedure is named after a happy birthday and thanking him for saving his brothers …
The Nigerian rape culture
Rape in Nigeria is not a new story. What’s new is that victims are finally coming out to speak about it and are getting heard. Thank God for social media. Many Nigerian females especially have been victims of rape at the hands of those who should protect them. Is it the case of a lecturer …
Daislyn, when life gives you lemons
Beads of sweat broke out on daisyln’s face as she stared blankly on the computer screen in front of her. It was mid July, in the heat of summer. The room at her elder brother’s, where she had come to spend the holidays, was fully air-conditioned. She still could not believe what she had just …

Skin colour: Does it matter?
I have never been very conscious of my skin colour. If anything, I just want to have a clean smooth complexion and look good. I recently overheard a superior say that, the person attending a work event was going to be someone white with blond hair. Now if that was said by way of description, …
