SATURDAY NIGHTS WITH SPARKS

MY EXPERIENCE WITH A MUSLIM STRANGER I schooled in the north, lived there for more than 6 years, among the most kind-hearted people in the world...Muslims precisely...believe me, are kind!!!! You go to the market to buy NGN100 fresh tomatoes, the jara that they add ehh, just because I managed to say inakwana (good morning in hausa)...is more than the tomato you even bought!! You take a motorcycle (achaba), and if he doesn’t have change, he smiles and allows you go with your money after saying " Allah ba de sa " Pardon me, but most of you can attest to the fact that they are very hospitable. Sometimes in the past, when I had to pick up my NYSC call-up letter in school, I travelled to Yola and there was an 8:00am curfew I was not aware of, so I had to stay over in Jalingo because I arrived at Taraba State by 8:30pm, which is still 2hours away from Yola. I was lost, alone in a strange city; I didn’t know anybody in the bus. When we alighted to look for acc

MY FIRST CRIME (EPISODE 2) " How can you place a terrible curse on someone because of just two sachets of milk?" I asked her, looking so scared. " Yes the person deserves it!” She yelled back at me. I was scared to death and thinking of my hair not growing again while my Dorm girls were in their world of laughter. Our Dorm head who was just returning from the dining hall became suspicious of everyone’s laughter but did not bother to ask any question.   " Senior Blessing, somebody stole my three crowns evaporated milk from my box and left the empty sachet under the bunk." My bunkmate reported the case to our Dorm Head and I was surprised at her action. "Why did you bring evaporated milk to school? Don't you know it's a contraband item?" Our Dorm Head asked my bunkmate to write a statement and promised to report her to the House Mistress. " Now I am going to place another terrible curse on that person. After stealing my m

Wear This: Tweed

Image
Yes, it's made for people other than professors Written by Salvatore Marashi When you think of tweed, if it rings any bells at all, it’s probably of stuffy boarding school teachers and Sherlock Holmes. While tweed may have been the staple of British men years past, it has made a new and fresh resurgence. Quickly becoming a winter staple, tweed is definitely something to incorporate into your style.   What is Tweed? Born in Scotland in the early eighteenth century, tweed emerged as a trend for the outdoorsmen of the highlands. Combining material that was both durable and insulating, it’s no surprise that it was adopted by hunters and farmers throughout Great Britain. The close-knit construction made it both water- and wind-resistant. As its popularity grew, tweed became a go-to material for sportsmen, and eventually was adopted into everyday wear.   Different Types of Tweed Plain Tweed Plain tweed relies on simple lines and district stripes. As its name suggests

Put apple cider vinegar on your acne and watch what happens How do you make rice water for your hair?

BY S. NICOLE LANE The health benefits of apple cider vinegar have become a popular answer for folks looking to combat blood sugar levels, lose weight, and even protect against cancer (via Healthline). For many, it's a bit of a miracle drink. Since vinegar is known to kill certain types of bacteria and viruses, it's no surprise that apple cider vinegar has also been a solution for people struggling with skin issues (via Science Direct).  For one thing, Propionibacterium acnes is a bacteria that is linked to acne. While there is little research linking apple cider vinegar — or ACV — to the reduction of acne, ACV includes acetic, citric, lactic, and succinic acids, which have all been proven to kill P. acne (via NCBI). In other words, while most times ACV is used for cooking or baking, it can also be used to treat your pesky acne concerns.  How can apple cider vinegar improve your skin? When  you ferment apple cider, or juice from pressed apples, apple cid

The Way We Were: 10 Crucial Child Psychology Studies

Image
Once upon a time, although it seems barely credible to us now, we were all children. We gurgled, we cried, we laughed, we explored, we fell down, and we had very little idea about the journey on which we had just embarked. Barring mishap, over the first few years of our lives we developed memory, language, self-concept, cognitive, social and emotional abilities. We took our first steps towards our future selves. Child psychology – or, more broadly, developmental psychology – is not just the study of children, it is the study of you and me and how we came to be this way. Just as discovering your history can teach you about the future, so child psychology shows us what we once were and even what we will become. Here are 10 classic studies that have illuminated crucial areas of childhood development. Each one is a piece in the jigsaw puzzle that is ourselves, and each one reminds us, through examining just one piece, how aspects of experience we now take for granted were
