Women Affairs

        Women discrimination is something that has been with us for ages, especially in Africa and it's an error that really needs to be corrected. Most times women try to rise against this fact, they are been captivated or trapped by some socio-economic, political and educations issues. In addition, due to societal, religious, cultural and other persuasions, most people still hold firmly to the rather unscientific as well as subjective ideology that women are not supposed to involve themselves in any tangible or meaningful economic engagement. There exists a form of societal brutality against the women folk due to the fact that, they are usually restricted to a private life.        In spite of the Beijing declaration on affirmative action, women in Africa are not yet in the mainstream of the political, social, and economic welfare of the nation. Several wom a n activist s have fought against this issue but it ...

      Any peace making process that doesn't involve the participation of women or ignores the needs and roles of women is unnatural, and therefore inherently unstable. Besides, women represent more than half of the world's population. So, putting into account women's talents and insights would always lead to responses to peace-centered and therefore more sustainable environment.         What is Peace?   It is generally defined as the absence of fear, conflict, war, anxiety, suffering and violence, and about peaceful co-existence. Peace is the opposite of the word conflict. In a place where there is no peace, it is said to have conflict. Without peace, the attainment of sustainable human development would come to naught. Also, the meaning of peace has been emphasized by many peace researchers, in general. Peace can also be seen as the absence of war (absence of direct violence), Peace as justice and development (absen...

It is very important for you to know who your rival is and how to beat her because our present day society is filled with rivals and in different sectors of the economy. You are either a success or a failure based on how you treat them. Your rival can either make or break you, can also cause a huge source of damage to your life or future if not properly, quickly or forcefully dealt with. Who is your Rival?   Your rival is one who attempts to equal, outdo or surpass you, or one who pursues the same object or position as you. Your rival can sometimes be referred to as your competitor.      Biblically, the word rival can be seen in the case of two brothers 'Esau and Jacob' in their tussle for their father’s blessing. It all started when Rebekah over heard Isaac's decision to bless Esau, knowing that her husband was blind, she then schemed to obtain the blessing for Jacob his second son (Genesis 27:8-10, 14-17). When Rebekah told Jacob about his father's decision,...

NON SMOKERS STAND GREATER RISKS THAN SMOKERS “Smokers are liable to die young,” so we are always told by the Federal Ministry of Health in every cigarette adverts. But what they have never told and will never tell us is that non-smokers could die even younger. Why? How? You may ask with a face decorated with a cosmetic called surprise. You may not be wrong to ask because we have been brainwashed to believe that it is only smokers that are liable to die young. But recently, it has been discovered that non-smokers stand even greater risks, and could die even younger, than the actual smokers. A group of researchers in the United States of America recently came out with a stunning discovery that the amount of nicotine that a smoker inhales is only one-fourth of that which he releases into the environment for non-smokers. The study explains that this is due to the fact that the mouth end of the cigarette is fixed with a foam-like material which filters out nicotine and push...
