LESSONS FROM THE U.S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

I don't know how many of you share my sentiments but I am not even an American yet I sat up all night to watch all the news and updates on CNN about the now concluded  U.S Presidential Elections. It is no longer news that President Barrack Obama won the elections and is in for another four years as President of the United States. Truth is that at some point, I felt he may not win because of the impact Mitt Romney made on the upper class and all the negative campaigning from both parties and how close the numbers were. Once again, the elections proved that anything is possible!!!



I hope and pray that  the leaders and politicians of my dear country Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa would learn from the U.S Elections that you don't have to assasinate your opponents, send thugs to the polling centers and threaten people for votes to win elections into an office. Let your words and actions and show of patriotism win over the people's confidence in you and you have their votes.


I also pray that the leaders and politicians in Nigeria and all of Africa take lessons on "Losing with grace" as Mitt Romney did, rather than go ahead and institute un-necessary legal actions against the winners of the elections.


Politics is about service to your country and people and not a do-or-die affair. Remember, it is no longer business as usual, the electorates are getting more informed, wiser and smarter by the day.

Congratulations to President Barrack Obama and all U.S citizens and residents on a successful election.

SEX & THE PHYSICALLY/MENTALLY CHALLENGED

Image
I had a conversation with a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and after that I took a while to think if I should write something on this or not. What triggered that conversation was that, a crippled woman on a wheel chair pulled up beside my car in traffic asking for alms; She had an obviously malnourished child who should be about two years old with her and was clearly pregnant with another child. My big rhetorical question was "What kind of person would do this to this woman?" Every now and then we hear stories of physically and mentally challenged people being sexually abused especially the people with mental disabilities, they are raped, maltreated and neglected, sometimes by the very people who are supposed to protect them. They are sometimes left at the mercies of strangers and the cycle of abuse and uncertainties continue. I know that people with disabilities whether physical or mental also have sexual needs because they are human beings with emotional

TAKE A BREATHER, WILL YOU?

It's a casual Tuesday for me Guys, no thanks to my drycleaner 😩😳😞😞 So,  as I was trying to come up with a simple, casual ensemble to wear out this morning, my house keeper walks into my room with my wig all brushed up nicely and handed it over to me, she saw the look of despair on my face as she handed it to me,  and quietly dropped the wig on my dressing table. I told her after dressing up, that I do not want any wigs, extensions or attachments on my hair for a few days , at least until the coming week, "let my hair and scalp breathe",  I said. Sometimes in life, we get to face disappointments, failures or some quite unpleasant situations and try to do all we can to cover for them or at least pretend like they didn't happen or we didn't go through them, and sometimes, we get so worked up over them that we loose our inner peace, sleep and the zest for our passion, dreams, or even life itself. Challenges come, but great times also come too.

FASHION TIPS FOR CURVY GIRLS

Image
In case you don't know yet, size 10 is the new size 6. Being curvy is OK but you need to wear the right stuff and understand that not all latest fashion trends are suitable for curvy girls. We create our own unique style and baby we look hot in it! For my curvy ladies, here are a few tips that could help. Wear dresses that accentuate your best features. You do not want the stomach area to make you look like you are pregnant when you are not . Chose your fabrics carefully, stretch fabric is a good option. Do not hide yourself under a shapeless gown or big skirts. Avoid too many drapes , layers or ruffles on your dresses. Keep it simple, classy and chic. Make Up: Be bold with your make up but make sure you use the right colors, blending colors are still very trendy and gloss really works for pretty curvy girls. Your mascara, blush, red lipsticks should always be close to you (in your bag always if possible). Your Hair: Your hair speaks volumes about you, Keep
