Marriage is an institution ordained by God. It is a sacrificial commitment between both parties involved, in which both leave their former lives and come together to become one in a new life. It is very saddening to note that the very people smiling and overexcited about their marriage some years ago, can not now stand the very presence of each other. In Nigeria, the rate is on the increase, but because of our culture where we strongly dont believe in divorce to a larger extent, and how patient our women/men can be towards their marriage, our divorce rates are low compared to the other countries in the whole world Now let us examine the Causes of Marriage/Relationship Failures in Nigeria. Here are the 10 Most Causes of why Marriages Fail in Nigeria LACK OF TRUST This is the number one reason why marriages fail. what causes lack of trust is infidelity, extra marital affairs and constant lying by either spouses to their spouse. The foundation of a succesfull marriage...

Let us try to understand why do men need women, and why is it that while most men around the world take digs at their own wives and other women and even publicly loathe female companionship, they would rather prefer to be stuck with women than be rid of them. That they're never really sure of what they want, is quite another debatable matter! There is scientific evidence to prove that biologically, men and women are wired differently and perhaps, it is this very difference that attracts us to each other, no matter what relationship we share. Aren't we all looking for someone to complement us and not necessarily behave exactly as we do? Women may not admit it but the "wild" behavior in men is often appreciated at some level by women (turns them on would be a more appropriate expression). There's a phase that many women go through when they find "bad boys" very attractive, never mind their messy hair or clumsy, unkempt attire or over-...

1.Identify your passions. Before you can achieve success, you will have to define what success means to you. While it may take years to realize what you want to do with your life, identifying your passions, interests, and values will help you set goals and give your life a sense of meaning. Ask yourself the following questions: What do you want your legacy to be? How would you like to be remembered by others? How do you want to make your community a better place? What are your subjects of interest in your life? Make a list of your goals, and what you might do to achieve them. Be sure to address both short-term and long-term goals; try to think beyond financial/career goals. Consider which subjects you enjoyed studying in school, and why. This can help give you an idea of what you may be best at or more interested in. Live purposefully. In order to achieve your dreams and be the person you want to be, you will have to start paying attentio...

While growing up, some people want to be astronauts, police officers, race car drivers, teachers, doctors, nurses, or even cowboys. Me? I wanted to be an FBI profiler. Of course, our first career choices don't always work out. We either grow out of them or later find that they aren't suitable for us. The career tests that I took in high school pinned me as the brainy, quiet, creative type - perfect for a writer, but not so much for an FBI agent. While what I do may not be as exciting as chasing down scary, crazy bad guys every day, it really is the perfect career for me. Of course, I'm one of the lucky ones. Some aren't so lucky. You've probably heard it a thousand times or more… "I hate my job!" "I don't make enough money. " "My career isn't challenging enough. " "My job is too difficult for me." "I'm bored with my career." These are the laments are uttered by countless people each and ...

I didn’t post this to scare you but help you know that everybody on campus has not come to study their books, You must read this so you can know when the guy/girl you think is your course mate and harmless is about talking you into cultism. It is more dangerous to be ignorant than having the knowledge of this.. In Nigeria, a confraternity is a group that is nominally university-based, though 'street and creek' confraternities began in the 1990s. The first confraternity, the Pyrates Confraternity was created as a social organization for promising students. However, as new confraternities were formed, they became increasingly violent through the 1970s and 1980s. By the 1990s, many confraternities largely operated as criminal gangs, called "campus cults" in Nigeria. Besides normal criminal activity, confraternities have been linked to political violence, as well as the conflict in the Niger Delta. In no particular order, here are the "Top 7 Conf...

Watch out for the opportunist. This is a person who likes to use you because you have assets like a car, your own apartment or home, lots of money or a vacation property. Or, they may be using you to get close to your good friends, girl-/boy-friend or sibling. This type of person will eat up your house or home and even use your personal hygiene products. But when you confront them, they become angry. They disrespect you and your belongings. You may notice borrowing becomes an issue. They borrow money and never pay you back. Borrow your clothes, property, and never give it back. Or, they return it damaged. They may even let other people use/wear your belongings. They may also ask for a favor but can never return a favor. Be wary of the self-centered. This type of person lives by the mantra: "It's all about me". They will always talk about themselves. Also, they won't care about you; they're not interested in your day, how you...

Friendships are very much an integral aspect of the teenage years. Friends could influence and support them through their adolescent (teenage) era. This period, friendship that are more intimate, exclusive and more constant is developed. Many parents worry that their teenage children could fall under negative peer influence that might influence the teenagers to reject their family values and beliefs, as well as, be pressed into engage in high risk behaviours. In spite of these fears, peers play a large role in a teen’s life; offering the teens lots of positive opportunities, despite the negative connotations of the parents. The actual fear and concern by parents and other adults, should be when the teens are seen becoming too preoccupied with these friends. Positive peer influence is needed to help explore teen’s identities, learn about social norms, and practice their autonomy and the social support needed to deal with some their challenges. Instead of watching your...

This is the smile of a fulfilled woman. Blogger Linda Ikeji’s amazing feat – buying a N500 million mansion in an exclusive area of Lagos while still single – has been a subject for debate on the social media. The 35-year-old has been criticised for making herself “unmarriageable” by flaunting her wealth. I doubt the same would be or has ever been said of a man. But this is Nigeria, or Africa, as we love to say when invoking our “traditions” and “culture”. Certain rules govern the sexes, and even in 2015, the 21st century, it is “taboo” for a woman to aspire to be anything other than the “man’s helpmate” – read: submissive minder and body warmer. In spite of this, there are still some weirdos who refuse to stick to the status quo and just make themselves marriageable. I mean,  “ Why would a woman still be single in her thirties or forties?” “It is not choice jare! It is your fault. You are not submissive, you are not calm, your gra-gra i...

The town should be employing a few common sense strategies to make sure teens have the tools they need to have healthy sexual relationships: 1. Teach kids comprehensive sex ed. At the most basic level, kids need to receive sexual health instruction in order to make healthy choices about their physical relationships. Every student in Denmark now gets comprehensive sex ed beginning in middle school. In addition to classes, students can seek out individual counseling sessions. The curriculum covers self-esteem, setting sexual boundaries, and how to effectively use contraception. 2. Target messages at teen boys, not just at the girls. Michelle Nimmons, who leads the comprehensive sex ed program, told NPR that Denmark’s approach recognizes that teen pregnancy is not just an issue for teen girls. That’s in sharp contrast to many teen pregnancy prevention campaigns in the  Nigeria, which sometimes focus on blaming girls for their bad choices without putting equal weight on b...

  Causes of corruption: Although Nigerian leaders in the last twenty to thirty years have made such a sing-song of fighting corruption, it does not appear that any serious effort has been made to address the real causes of corruption. Thus without a proper diagnosis of the causes of corruption, trying to fight it is akin to treating symptoms rather than rooting out the disease itself. This unfortunately appears to be the strategy adopted so far in fighting corruption in Nigeria. We must now attempt to answer the questions that Nigerians should be asking their crusaders of corruption. What indeed are the domestic causes of corruption in one of the world’s most corrupt countries? It is necessary to observe that aside from the quality, or lack of it, of people running the Nigerian economic and political shows, there are some systemic conditions in the Nigerian polity that promote cor...

The print, electronic and social media have made the issue of unemployment, especially youth unemployment, a focus of every government across the globe today. It became so serious after the “Arab Spring” which was a reaction against regimes and governments that have perpetuated themselves against the wish of the people, and were insensitive to the astronomical rise in the number of unemployed youths and its negative consequences. Today, nations and governments are being called upon to make drastic decisions to initiate, implement, monitor, evaluate and scale up effective public policies and programmes with the aim of reducing the rate of unemployment especially among young graduates. But what are the causes of unemployment, especially graduate unemployment, in a country like Nigeria? And what can be done to reduce, if not eliminate, graduate unemployment in the country. Considering carefully the above “assertion” by the authors, from a personal point of view, some of the factors l...
