What can ladies do without in their handbags?

It’s a popular belief that women carry the entire world in their handbags and purses, most men have this weird imagination that a woman’s bag contains everything required to start up a family, That’s an exaggeration, though.

Well, truth is, women don’t have all those things we imagine in their bags. Ideally, it’s lipsticks, mascaras, chocolates sunglasses and its likes that we expect to see.

In this interview with Jennifer Joseph, shocking discoveries were made when women were asked what they can definitely do without in their handbags and purses. Below are some of their responses.

Guinevere Ugwu, Student

Basically, I don’t need perfume, spray deodorants and anti-perspirants in my bag, I have a good natural scent and the deodorant I use can last for 48hours, although I might need a handkerchief to wipe off perspiration

Thelma Lucy Deborah, housewife

There are too many things I can do without in my handbag. I don’t need safety pins, needles, bobby pins, hair pins. Those things will just prick my fingers when I’m searching for something else.

Abugu Nkem Edith, student

I don’t need lipgloss, my lips are always moist even during the dry season and I’m not into makeup at all, so what am I doing with it?

Somkene Uche, Student
I don’t walk around with my sunglasses in my bag, I know it’s the trend!, but then, it’s just creepy and most people look blind when they’re wearing it

Ibe Cynthia, student

I can do without a book, it just adds extra weight and can be overbearing, if I need to write anything, I’ll just use my phone. The world has gone digital, you know

Obidiebube Jennifer, Youth Corps member

Vanessah Chinaemelum, student
I need everything in my bag, except drugs. I hate drugs, even Panadol or paracetamol. I don’t need them at all. My bag can take most things except drugs.

Bella Okeke, student
Every bag has side-zips or at least, the bags I always buy have side-zips, so, what do I need a wallet for? My I. D cards, my ATM, my charger, money, they all belong to the side-zips
I’ve not gotten used to the idea of the whole wallet thing

Zillion Antonia
I don’t know why ladies carry sanitary pads in their bags daily, wandering about the globe. It’s funny, I can’t do that, except I’m on my period, I mean, we all know when to expect our “little friend”, so why should we carry them 356 days in a year? What are they trying to prove? that they’re being careful?

Santity Joseph, applicant

I need too many things in my bag, but I don’t need those creepy makeup items, they can just spill and stain everything you have in your bag. I just like to have my charger, ATM and earpiece.

Olaoye Shade Maryann, student

Why you should have Honey at home
Honey has been known throughout history as “Liquid Gold,” a natural sweetener that is not just delicious but provides many therapeutic benefits. Although it is a versatile cooking ingredient, honey could also offer some health benefits.

If you’ve not been taking full advantage of the nutritional and medicinal properties of honey, you need to do so!.
You are, therefore, advised to get a bottle of honey stored up in your room somewhere, today because it has lots of amazing benefits you never knew!
1. Honey Reduces Cough!
Honey may prove to be a lifesaver during this cold season. According to a study in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, researchers tested a single nighttime dose of buckwheat honey against a common cough suppressant and no treatment at all in more than 100 children with colds. Overall, parents found that the honey was better than the other two approaches for relieving cough symptoms and improving sleep.

No wonder the World Health Organization lists honey as a potential demulcent, a sugary liquid that coats the throat and soothes irritation. A 2007 study by Penn State College of Medicine suggested that it reduced nighttime coughing and improved sleep quality in children with upper respiratory infection better than the cough medicine dextromethorphan or no treatment.

2. Honey heals wounds!

Shocking, isn’t it? Applying honey to the skin has been used to heal wounds and burns since ancient Egypt, and is still being used today.

In-depth research studies on honey and wound care were evaluated and the review found that it is most effective at healing partial thickness burns and wounds that have become infected after surgery.

It is also an effective treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, which are very serious complications and can lead to amputation.

One study reported a 43.3% success rate with honey as a wound treatment. In another study, topical honey healed a whopping 97% of patients being treated for their diabetic ulcers.

Similarly, researchers believe that its healing powers come from its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as its ability to nourish the surrounding tissue.

3. Honey Boosts Memory!

We are what we eat and hence it is very important to consume foods that help make our mental health strong to sustain in old age. One of its numerous health benefits includes its ability in boosting memory and concentration.

Honey not only increases brain power and memory but also makes you a healthier person altogether. Consumption of honey prevents metabolic stress and helps calm and soothes the brain, which helps in augmenting memory in the long run. The natural antioxidants and therapeutic properties in honey help in boosting brains’ cholinergic system and circulation and receding cells that cause memory loss.

4. Honey helps digestion!

Honey helps reduce constipation, bloating and gas, thanks to it being a mild laxative. Honey is also rich in probiotic or “friendly” bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which aid in digestion, promote the health of the immune system, and reduce allergies.

Using it in place of table sugar has been found to reduce the toxic effects in the gut of mycotoxins produced by fungi.

5. Honey Cures Acne!

Honey is a popular home remedy for acne. It’s often combined with other natural ingredients such as cinnamon,
nutmeg, lemon, and avocado to make acne face masks.

There are a lot of anecdotal reports from people who have successfully used honey in the treatment of acne, but actual scientific studies that examine its effectiveness when used on acne patients are currently lacking.

However, we do know that this natural ingredient has antibacterial activity, and studies have shown that it can kill a wide range of bacteria. This is currently thought to be a result of the hydrogen peroxide that is present in the honey and a protein called bee-defensin-1 which is added to the nectar when it’s in the bee’s stomach.

Studies have shown that it is capable of killing the acne-causing bacteria. Due to its high level of antibacterial activity, using honey for acne treatment has become popular in the natural skin care community.

Honey also has anti-inflammatory properties which could be useful in the treatment of an inflammatory condition like acne.

The health benefits of Honey are endless and amazing, new research and studies keep coming up with more benefits of Honey!

Do well to get yourself a bottle of honey today.

Luxury meets mental health care

As more attention is being given to mental health care in Nigeria, a new facility, Tranquil and Quest Nigeria have opened its services to those in need, but this time with a different approach.

According to its management, T&Q, whose parent company is based in New Jersey in the US, comes to add to Nigeria a world-class mental service offering its patients the five-star treatment.

Speaking at the facility’s premises recently, the Medical Director of T&Q, Dr Otefe Edebi, a Consultant Psychiatrist, said that the mental health and substance abuse facility is actually a branch of T&Q International which has five locations in the US.

“I dare say that we are the first of our kind so far in Nigeria because we are a luxury-styled mental health facility. We are designed to offer luxury while patients go through treatment. We offer various forms of psychiatric and psychological evaluation and management to individuals, to families to schools and to organisations,” he said.

Speaking further, Edebi revealed that in any given society, the general statistics show that about 20percent of the population suffer from one mental health issues or the other.

“Here in T&Q, our goal is to address the increasing rate of substance abuse and mental illness in Nigeria. Our goal is not just for people to be treated but that they should be treated in comfort,” he added.

The amenities available in T&Q range from the spa to yoga services, massage services, a volleyball pitch, a badminton court, table tennis and others all geared towards aiding patients to recover with dignity, he said.

He also added that; “we will be launching our telepsychiatry service which allows us to connect people all over Nigeria with both local and foreign-based psychiatrists. It provides that service where people can either call in or Skype or other forms of video conferencing that assures of confidentiality.”

Equiano formed an Anti-slave movement in 1780s that shed light on the tragic life of slaves, he settled in London, where in the 1780s he became involved in the abolitionist movement.

The movement to end the slave trade had been particularly strong among Quakers, but the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade was founded in 1787 as a non-denominational group, with Anglican members, in order to directly influence the.

At the time, Quakers were prohibited from being elected as MPs. Equiano had become a Methodist, having been influenced by George Whitefield’s evangelism in the New World.

Felabration: Review of Fela’s top five songs

One of the most important musical and political figures to emerge in post-independence Nigeria, Fela Kuti was the legendary rebel and agent provocateur that pioneered Afrobeat, an invigorating hybrid of dirty funk and traditional African rhythms.

No denial that Fela was a complex man that was equal parts shaman, showman and trickster, whose perpetual criticism of Nigeria’s governmental and religious figures made him a constant target.

Later called Baba 70, Fela was one of a handful of exceptional individuals that forever changed our musical landscape.

This is a guide to five of his voluminous recorded songs and the deep meanings of each of them.

In view of Felabration, an annual music festival conceived in 1998 by Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti in memory and celebration of her father Fela Kuti, a Nigerian musician and human rights activist known for pioneering the afrobeat genre of music, take a look at five of Fela’s songs and their contributions to the new look of the musical landscape.

1. “Zombie”

Zombie was released in 1976 by Coconut Records and was immediately a success among the people. The song starts off strong with a rousing horn fanfare that holds the clue to the important message Fela delivers: the zombie he refers to, who does whatever he is told unthinkingly, is a soldier of the Nigerian Army.

Fela was a provocateur, and his criticism of the Nigerian government made him a constant target. His revolutionary way of being was reflected in many aspects of his life. Fela had created a commune in his house, treated like an independent state, called the Kalakuta Republic.

In Zombie, he narrates the military in motion comparing their orientation to the Zombie, without minds of their own (unfree). The soldiers are portrayed as brainless figures, brainwashed to do whatever higher authorities want.
“Zombie no go think, unless you tell them to think.

In the song, he said “Zombie no go think, unless you tell them to think”

This bold condemnation of the military institution led to a raid in Kalakuta, and finally to his mother’s death. One thousand members of the Nigerian army attacked and burnt down his house after the release of the record. Fela was badly beaten, his records and instruments destroyed; tragically, his mother was taken and thrown from the second floor leading to fatal injuries.

2. “Suffering and Smiling”

Released in 1977, Fela describes the life of the average Nigerian who is constantly suffering, but smiling through the pain, believing in the rewards that await them in the afterlife due to the teachings of religious leaders, who themselves live the most lavish lives, enjoying the so-called earthly pleasures. He warns people to open their eyes to this injustice and stop being blind followers of religion.

Things haven’t changed much today, as people still blindly follow religion (and religious leaders), without necessarily understanding its true meaning.

3. “Suffer Head” must go

“Suffer Head” is a masterpiece of the 1980s, released at a time when the living conditions of the poor masses were getting worse. He was able to put across graphically, the terrible living conditions of the working masses. Describing, among others, how “ten people sleep inside one small room” in the slums; how the transportation system was so bad that “my people are packed inside buses like sardines”; how water, food and light (electricity) were both lacking or grossly inadequate. He then linked these to the cynical nomenclature of underdeveloped nations.

He further criticised the essence of the United Nations’ cynical programmes of “food-house-health etc., for all by the year 2000”. He tagged them programme of deceit. In conclusion, Fela made a revolutionary appeal that “suffer head must go! And J’eba head must come” (eba is a popular meal in Nigeria).

4. “Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense”

This was released in 1980, it highlights the fact that the white man seems to be living our lives for us, while they make their own decisions based on their culture and tradition. The white man, instead of condemning the bad leadership that goes on here, overlooks them while doing the exact opposite in their own countries.
He condemns the so-called democracy and begs Africans to open their eyes and realize that they are being misled and stolen from.

Today, instead of drawing away from the chains of colonialism, we still rely on foreign countries to help us make some of our major decisions and try to imitate every aspect of their lives, forgetting our cultures and traditions in the process.

5. “Army Arrangement”

Released in 1985, this piece of music revealed the mismanagement of the economy by the past regimes in Nigeria, both military and civilian governments alike.

It exposed their methods of thievery, among others. It similarly showed that nothing good could come out of the then civilian rule, which he claimed correctly was to come about with the participation of the “same old politicians who ruled (ruined) and spoiled Nigeria before.”

The album was a revelation of the inherent class links between the military Generals and the civilian wing (so-called ‘political class’) of the ruling capitalist class.

ASUU strike suspension: Students Happy, Unhappy, Indifferent

Mixed reactions by students of tertiary institutions have greeted the suspension of the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The five weeks old strike was suspended on September 18 by the union after a meeting with federal government officials.

The reactions ranged from those who were unhappy about the suspension to those who can’t wait for classes to resume.

ASUU said the strike which started on August 13 would be suspended till October to give room for the federal government to fulfill its pledges.

Below are some of their reactions

I’m totally indifferent about the strike, they can call it off or continue. I just don’t care. Whatever they decide is fine with me.

Sarah Anderson, Lagos state university

I’m not happy that this strike was suspended.I had plans of working hard to earn my tuition during this period. All those plans have crashed now.

Victory Demonday
Abia State university

I’m extremely happy that the strike was suspended,because if they had not suspended the strike, our academic pace would have been reduced in respect to the university’s academic calendar.

Ibukun Dennis
University of Lagos

The strike is just suspended, it will be called off, if the Federal Government goes ahead to implement the agreement reached with ASUU.

But if this doesn’t happen, there’s every chance ASUU might go back to the industrial action.

Ejiofor Ekene
University of Nigeria Nsukka

I’m happy the strike was called off but we don’t have to jubilate yet, because it was only suspended for a month. Probably, we should look forward to embarking on another strike of the federal Government does not meet ASUU’s demand by October.

We all know the way out. The government should meet the union’s demand by paying them so as to prevent them from embarking on further strike

Wunmi
Onabisi onabanjo University

I am not happy, I wanted to work a little before going back to school and now they have spoilt my plan,i think ASUU should continue the strike

Anthony Chimerezie
Ebonyi state university

I’m not really happy because I really don’t want to resume this year . I want to stay back home to get my body system prepared for the stress ahead.

Obiageli Anthony
University of Port Harcourt

I’m happy the strike has been suspended, because I want to spend only four years in school, and graduate with my mates, but I think they should conclude with the federal Government, in order to avoid another strike.

Onwusonye Joy
Michael Okpara university of Agriculture, Umuahia

This suspended strike is a good sign that something would be done about ASUU’s demands by the federal Government and that the strike would not be stretched for long, as opposed to other industrial actions in the past.
