  • Three ways to care for your natural hair

    Three ways to care for your natural hair

    Faith Uwaifo-Abiodun

     

    Natural hair, otherwise known as virgin hair, is the new normal for hair. Some people have decided not to follow trends though.

    They are sceptical about the needs for the normal because keeping natural hair can really be exhausting. Let’s not talk about the pain involved in maintaining it.

    Well for the brave ones who have decided to damn the consequences and still rock natural hair, here are a few tips on how to make maintaining a natural hair bearable:

    (1) Threading.

    The good old threading is otherwise known as “Kiko” is an effective way to grow your hair. Perfect for natural hair. But for the pain involved making it, Kiko can be termed “the relaxer for natural hair” because not only does it make your hair grow, it also makes it soft.

    The incessant use of threading tends to yield more result. Threading moved from being a compulsory hairstyle for Nigerian kids to be the only form of artificial attachments permitted for some religious group of women and now to being the new gangster hairstyle for anyone who wishes to be in them.

    There are now different kinds of modern threading that even “slay queens” can rock in any outfit or at any event. There are different type of materials to also use in case the rubber thread seems old fashioned, like the baby wool and the Brazilian wool.

    These hair materials not only make threading less painful, they make the hair last longer. No, it shouldn’t be viewed as old fashioned or meant for a religious sect.

    (2) Water

    The water they say, e no get enemy and that includes your natural hair. There was a belief that water makes the hair shorter.

    Well, recent studies and experiences have countered that belief. On the contrary, water is very good for the hair. Water can be sprinkled on the hair before and after making or combing it.

    It makes it easier to handle and manoeuvre. Some things can be added to the water to make it less boring. Conditioner or hair oils. Rice water can also be sprinkled for more effect. Afraid of the smell? Well, that’s why there are hair sprays like oil sheen. To apply hair sprays after making.

    (3) Balanced diet.

    We are what we eat literally. At the end of each month, our body uses everything we eat to refresh our systems. That’s a fact.

    So if you’ve been having unhealthy diets, chances are that you are unhealthy and it also affects the hair.

    No matter what products you use for hair growth, if your diet is unhealthy, it affects your hair because your hair is also part of your body so unhealthy eating is a no.

    Food like beans, Greek yoghurt, almonds, poultry and vegetables are good for hair growth. Let’s not forget fruits, fruits balance things up. Banana, orange, guava, pawpaw, Apple, Avocado etc. Eating healthy is the core of havin healthy hair.

    Those in support, against social media regulation

    By Alao Abiodun

    It is no longer news the Federal Government is making plans to regulate the use of social media.

    This renewed move is coming on the heels of the #EndSARS protests characterised by influx of controversies, multiple streams of information and disinformation through social media.

    The Federal Government’s proposal has sparked public debates with considerable opposition.

    While many have disagreed with the regulation plans, saying the federal government is on a mission to tamper with right to freedom of expression and censor contents, those in support have argued that the rising problems of fake news, misinformation, hate speech, invasion of privacy, among others are causes for concerns.

    The controversial bill, titled: ‘Protection from internet falsehood and manipulations bill, 2019’ is sponsored by Mohammed Sani Musa, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) representing Niger East senatorial district.

    The bill, if passed into law, seeks to prevent falsehoods and manipulations and counter the effects of such communications and transmission to sanction offenders with a view of encouraging and enhancing transparency by social media platforms using the internet correspondences.

    THOSE IN SUPPORT

    * Lai Mohammed – Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has not hidden his support for regulating the social media. He was reported to have said that Nigeria should be able to regulate the social media whenever they want, citing instances of China and other countries.

    * Governor Hope Uzodinma – Imo Governor Hope Uzodinma has also expressed support for the move.

    * Northern Governors’ Forum – The Northern Governors’ Forum, after its meeting in Kaduna last week, expressed support for the move to regulate the social media.

    AGAINST THE BILL

    * Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) – CAN has faulted the social media regulation. CAN noted that social media has given Nigerians freedom to speak and express themselves.

    * The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – Opposition PDP has also rejected move, describing it as unconstitutional, anti-people and attempt to silence Nigeria.

    * Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) – SERAP has stated it would sue the Northern Governors’ Forum and National Assembly if any social media bill is passed and signed by President Buhari. It noted that Nigerians have a right to freedom of expression online.

    * Celebrities – Runtown, Kate Henshaw and a host of celebrities have kicked against the proposal.

    * Civil Society Organisations – CSOs such as Centre for Liberty (CFL), Enough is Enough (EiE); Center for Fairness in Public Administration (CFPA); Free Nigeria Coalition; Concerned Nigerians and some others have warned that any attempt to pass the social media bill into law could lead to another fresh protests.

    · #ENDSARS Protests

    On Saturday 3 October 2020, a video showing a SARS police officer shooting a young Nigerian in front of Wetland Hotel, Ughelli, Delta went viral on the internet. It was alleged the police officers took away the young man’s vehicle – a Lexus SUV. The trending video caused public outcry on social media, especially on Twitter, with the #ENDSARS hashtag trending.

    Just as the ENDSARS trend began on Twitter, on Monday 5 October 2020, another report surfaced of SARS officers killing a 20-year-old upcoming musician named Daniel Chibuike, popularly called Sleek in his neighborhood.

    Sleek was said to be sitting in front of a hotel with a friend when the SARS officers approached them, prompting them to flee. According to an eyewitness, the SARS men pursued the pair, shouting “thief”, before shooting Sleek as they ran through a supermarket. His friend was arrested.

    On Thursday 8 October 2020, nationwide protests on ENDSARS started after weeks of outrage and anger with videos and pictures showing police brutality, harassment and extortion in Nigeria. The protests were led predominantly by young Nigerians in different cities alongside many activists and celebrities. The protests started on twitter by social media influencers and human right activists.

    · Lekki tollgate shooting

    Around 6:50 pm on October 20, security agents believed to be soldiers members opened fire on peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos.

    Nigerian musician, DJ Switch, who recorded the incident, claimed armed soldiers and police officers shot at her and other peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate on Tuesday night.

    · Looting of palliative warehouses

    Hoodlums, who hijacked the protests, moved on to warehouses were COVID-19 palliatives were kept. They looted and vandalised the warehouses before moving to private residences of prominent Nigerians, which they also looted and set on fire. It was a trying for the country as anarchy reigned while rule and order took the backstage.

    · Burning of police stations: The breakdown of order emboldened hoodlums to attack police operatives and formations across the nation. According to the Inspector General of Police, no fewer than 22 police operatives were killed while 205 police formations were burnt and vandalised.

    · Attack on Governor Oyetola’s convoy

    Some hoodlums on October 17, 2020 attacked Osun Governor Gboyega Oyetola shortly after he addressed #ENDSARS protests. The Governor later insisted it was an attempt on his life. The attack at the popular Ola-Iya Junction, Osogbo saw his convoy pelted with stones, sticks and cutlasses.

    · Edo prison break

    On Oct 19, hoodlums stormed the Correctional facility in Oko, Benin and set inmates free. Over 2,000 inmates were said to have been set free while only a handful of them were rearrested. The hoodlums also made away with arms belonging to prison officials. A similar incident was recorded in Calabar. In Lagos, security agents repelled a similar attempt at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre.

    · Presidential speech

    On Oct 22, President Muhammadu Buhari spoke to the nation about the unrest but without making any mention of the shootings of peaceful protesters at Lekki toll.

    This caused international outrage. Nigerians reacted on social media, describing the speech as lacking in inspiration.

  • Five parenting tips from Beyoncé you need to know

    Five parenting tips from Beyoncé you need to know

    By Chinyere Okoroafor

     

    Despite being one of the most famous celebrities in the world, the 38-year-old pop star rarely gives interviews. So when Vogue published an intimate article she wrote a few years ago, Queen Bey as she is sometimes referred to, dropped parenting secrets that will inspire you to think differently.

    Here are the five parenting tips from Beyoncé that was culled from an interview with Vogue:

    · Create a world where your children can see themselves

    In the interview, Queen Bey as she is fondly called, talked about how important it is for her to open the door for previously marginalized groups. As such, her Vogue cover shoot was the first-ever done by an African-American photographer, Tyler Mitchell. Her emphasis on diversity is not just for the benefit of other African-Americans, but also for her children.

    She said her mother taught her the importance of not just being seen but of seeing herself. She wrote: “As the mother of two girls, it’s important to me that they see themselves too—in books, films, and on runways. It’s important to me that they see themselves as CEOs, as bosses, and that they know they can write the script for their own lives that they can speak their minds and they have no ceiling.”

    · Give your children freedom

    Beyoncé poetically wrote about the importance of freedom, adding that the fact that she is not unhappy unless she is free and constantly “improving, evolving, moving forward, inspiring, teaching, and learning.” It’s a freedom that she wishes to pass onto her children.

    She said that her children don’t have to be a certain type or fit into a specific category, “They don’t have to be politically correct, as long as they’re authentic, respectful, compassionate, and empathetic. They can explore any religion, fall in love with any race, and love who they want to love.”

    · Teach your children the power of their own existence

    In one particularly beautiful passage, Beyoncé says that she has “experienced betrayals and heartbreaks in many forms,” and that she’s had “disappointments in business partnerships as well as personal ones,” which have left her “feeling neglected, lost, and vulnerable.”

    But she learnt how to “laugh and cry and grow” through it all, so that now she feels “so much more beautiful, so much sexier, so much more interesting” and “so much more powerful” than ever before. She wants her kids to recognize this power in themselves.

    “I hope to teach my son not to fall victim to what the internet says he should be or how he should love. I want to create better representations for him so he is allowed to reach his full potential as a man, and to teach him that the real magic he possesses in the world is the power to affirm his own existence.”

    · Raise your son to be emotionally intelligent

    She said that in today’s society, there’s a lot of focus on the fact that we need to do away with the harmful notion that men need to bottle up their feelings, and raise men who are conscientious, expressive and emotionally aware.

    “I want my son to know that he can be strong and brave but that he can also be sensitive and kind. I want my son to have a high emotional IQ where he is free to be caring, truthful, and honest. It’s everything a woman wants in a man, and yet we don’t teach it to our boys.”

    · Know about your family history and teach them so

    “I come from a lineage of broken male-female relationships, abuse of power, and mistrust,” she wrote.

    “Only when I saw that clearly was I able to resolve those conflicts in my own relationship.”

    To dig deep into her own past, she researched her ancestry and found out that she comes from a slave owner who fell in love with and married a slave. The revelation took some time to process but, once she did, she realized this was “why God blessed me with my twins.

    Male and female energy was able to coexist and grow in my blood for the first time.” She now believes that, having made peace with her ancestral past, she will be able to “break the generational curses in my family so that my children will have less complicated lives.”

  • Five things you shouldn’t do during a protest

    Five things you shouldn’t do during a protest

    By Faith Abiodun-Nwaifo

    In the last one week, #ENDSARS protesters have grounded several capital cities and towns in the country to demand an end to alleged police brutality and extortion.

    Federal and State Governments have conceded peaceful protests are inalienable rights of citizens.

    These are things you shouldn’t do if you are part of the ongoing #ENDSARS protests:

    · AVOID VIOLENCE: Protests don’t have to be violent. They should be peaceful to press home legitimate demands. You must avoid the temptation to resort to violence, no matter the provocation.

    · DON’T HARRASS: There is no point harassing security agents, residents and passers-by. It is enough to agitate until necessary actions are taken.

    · DON’T VANDALISE: To go about vandalising public and private properties will defeat the legitimacy of the protest.

    · DON’T LITTER: Do not litter the streets with trash. Dispose off your refuse properly. What you are protesting against is certainly a discomfort. You can’t add a wrong to another wrong. It will not speak well of you if you leave an environment littered with your droplets, the government shouldn’t have to clean after you. Show that you have class, that you are not razz. When you are done with your placards and signboards, dispose them properly. Make Nigeria clean, it begins with you.

    · DON’T MOLEST ANYONE: There are reports of molestation of ladies. This is a no-no. We cannot create another monster while fighting another.
