UNAVOIDABLE DEBT
DEATH
Proud you must be
Bringer of so much pain
In your twisted face, disaster breeds
Infirmities are released
O ye, you unwanted guest
Preying at the hearts of the innocent
Endless tears Mark your footprints
Wrinkled and broken are the hearts you ensnare
Definitely you'd visit but not at the beginning of time
Cold are the hands that behold you
Ash are the lips you smother with kisses
O you enemy of mankind
Lover of the soil
Of the rots and decay of the deceased
Death be not proud
Leave no legacy till we get to meet no more

JEALOUSY OR MADNESS?
Jealously is normal in everyone, we all have a level of jealousy in ourselves but we tend to control this before it get out of hands. We sometimes love people and materials without a wish of losing them to anyone but when killing the people we claim to love, it is termed madness and not love.
There are different happenings today that warrant us to think twice while claiming to love or jealous.
One of these happenings to learn from is a story about a woman named Maryam Sanda was sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of her husband, Bilyaminu Bello.
Bello had a woman named Amina Shagari in his life before he later got married to Sanda. Bello and Amina were so good together and everything was going on well, until Maryam Sanda came into the picture as the second wife. The first wife had to leave her husband place beacuse of the high level of Maryam jealousy.
An ugly incident happened one day because the wife went through her husband phone and saw a nude and some romantic chats with his desire to get a new wife.
She got so upset and threatened to quit the marriage. She demanded for divorce and threatened to kill the husband or cut off the genitals if he refused to grant her request. The husband's friend was with them for hours, trying to make peace but Sanda was just too angry to listen.
She broke a groundnut bottle in an attempt to stab her husband but the broken bottle was collected from her. She went on to break the perfume bottle, but the husband collected it. Knives were said to have been collected from her severally during this period.
The husband's friend got injured in the process. The only child in the house was crying but no attention was given to her by her angry mum.
The husband's friend eventually got tired and left with the intention to go and call their other friend but unfortunately came back to meet the death of the his friend Bello. He was said to have bite marks, stab wounds in the chest, close to the heart and in the genitals.
Maryam Sanda called on her mother and brother and the maid to tamper with the evidences. They were all charged but it was later dropped.
Maryam was pregnant with Bilyamin child when this incident happened. She gave birth to the child in the prison. The marriage was two years old as at when the incident happened, they had two children together.
At a point, Maryam was released on bail cos of health issues but unconfirmed reports have it that she went home and threw a birthday party for the child. It was the talk of the town.
"It has been said that thou shall not kill. Whoever kills in cold blood shall die in cold blood," the judge said.
Meanwhile, we can say Odeyemi had little time to think about what her action will lead to but that doesn't justify her own madness too. In relationship, supporting and caring for your partner is good but this shouldn't be one sided. Seeing guys as a fund givers in relationship is wrong and it is a well known fact that many ladies survives quite well without depending on a man.
God help us...

"Maryam Sanda should reap what she has sown," he said, adding, "it is blood for blood".
Without doubt, the woman deserved what she got but think about the babies she left behind, who will take care of them? Is death really the reward of what her husband did?
Let's read this other story too.... Last year, a 20 years old student of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti allegedly stabbed her lover, to death.
Without doubt, the woman deserved what she got but think about the babies she left behind, who will take care of them? Is death really the reward of what her husband did?
Let's read this other story too.... Last year, a 20 years old student of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti allegedly stabbed her lover, to death.
The lady who was a 300 level student of the department of Biology education stabbed her lover to death for refusing to give her #2,500 to make her hair.
According to the report of this story, the lady had demanded for #2,500 from her lover who happen to be a student of EKSU then, to make her hair but argument ensued after the lover refused to give her the money.
During the altercations, Odeyemi stabbed her lover in the chest and his cry for help attracted the neighbors, but unfortunately he did not survive the injury.
The lady in question was immediately arrested and we can all guess what it will lead to...
Sanda in her own story got uncontrollable for hours while she was angry which is very bad. Meanwhile, the fact that she got angry wasn't bad but the fact that she kept expressing the anger continually for hours with different weapons can be termed deadly. She never had the time to consider her kids as well as where her such act will take her to and for the fact that she stabbed her husband severally and inflicting different wounds on him show that it is no more jealous but madness.
Meanwhile, we can say Odeyemi had little time to think about what her action will lead to but that doesn't justify her own madness too. In relationship, supporting and caring for your partner is good but this shouldn't be one sided. Seeing guys as a fund givers in relationship is wrong and it is a well known fact that many ladies survives quite well without depending on a man.
With these two stories above, we can see that there is no good in being over jealous and giving room for anger. This two things can be managed properly if given considerable time, take time to put your anger to check, listen to pleads and think more about the end point of your action before taking them.
God help us...
NYSC ALLOWANCE INCREASED
It is an Happy moment for the Corps member to heard the breaking news about the increment in their allowance, as they rejoice.
The Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has said that corps members' monthly allowance has been increased to N33,000.
He said the Federal Government approved N33,000 in line with the new national minimum wage.
Previously, the corps members were paid N19,800 as monthly allowance.
According to a statement made available by NYSC on its Facebook page, the DG disclosed this while speaking to corps members at the NYSC Bauchi State Secretariat during his working visit to the State.

Omotoso Olutayo Olusogo won a scholarship sponsored by the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), Nigeria to study at the Newcastle University, United Kingdom. There, he beat every other first class student from around the world to emerge the best with distinction.
According to Omotoso Olutayo who hails from Araromi Ekiti in Ijero local government "It was not my first time anyway, as I have won several academic awards. These include the Rector’s Award for the Overall Best Student in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department, the Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti (2004), HOD’s Award for the Overall Best Student in Power System and Machine at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State (2017), etc. Yet, my award at the Newcastle University is special. It gives me one of the most blissful moments of my life being celebrated in one of the world’s topmost universities; though a lot of sacrifice, commitment and self-denial of fun were involved. I feel good that the feat has propelled me to the next stage of life having won another full scholarship for Doctor of Philosophy/Doctor of Engineering (PhD/EngD) programme at one of the top ranking universities in the world".
My area of specialisation is Electrical Power, which includes Power System Stability and Control; Power Electronics for power system and mobility applications using wide band gap technology. My class capacity was 50. Graduating as a top student in MSc Electrical Power came as a surprise to me for the fact over 80 per cent of the students were best candidates from their respective countries. Again, most of them had their first degree in the developed world with state-of-the-art teaching facilities, conducive teaching and learning environment and, most importantly, in high-ranking universities. I want to believe that the grace of God stood me out. Considering human efforts, I would say consistent study, persistence in solving problems were tools that propelled me to the top.
Students who want to be on top must be hard working, observe consistent study, and be relentless in problem solving. In fact, such students’ education/academic perspective must be unique and different. For me, I see education like taking a bath to look healthy rather than look good. That is, I view education/academics as a way of acquiring knowledge to impact the world positively rather than money making.
Omotoso has been able to prove something to through his commitment and hardwork. No matter how long, a day will come when your hardwork and commitment will smile on you.
HAPPINESS: A Key To Long Life
It is very important to know that the key to long life is HAPPINESS. Smiling makes you look simple and accommodating.
Having it is so powerful that it affects almost everything in your life. Your happiness impacts your sleep, your relationships, your health and your work. Happiness is the highest form of wellness. Many people equate happiness with success..
Note: Happiness may bring success, but success alone will not bring happiness.
Why you need to be Happy
1. Long life is assured
2. When you stay happy, your health will improve
3. You will be free from worries
4. People tend to associate more with happy people
5. Your world will be lively
Staying happy has so many benefits. You can choose to be happy because it is a choice and can be created. Depending on people for happiness often brings unexpected sadness, so it is always advise to create one's happiness by oneself.
How can I create my own happiness?
1. AVOID GETTING ANGRY EASILY
To be realistic, we will always come across different things to get us angry but as happiness is a choice so does anger. You can decide the way you respond to everything that can get you angry. This does not mean that you should allow people to look down on you but you can stay on your feet without getting angry. When anger comes, talk to yourself 'am better than this', you can work away at first and get back after dealing with the anger in your mind.
2. BECOME A JOY GIVER
Happiness is not about how much you have. It is more than riches, you can't make people sad and expect to be happy. When people around you are happy, you will definitely be happy too.
3. DO WHAT YOU LOVE
I often tell people that if you face difficulties while doing what you love, you will be willing to face the challenges until you overcome them all but you can easily be defeated if you have less passion for what you do. What you do can always determine your happiness.
4. SPEND YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON WHAT GIVES YOU JOY
People often likes dictating their fellow men happiness but it is in your power to say no and do only the things that gives you joy.
5. SMILE
When you crack a smile, your system feels calm. Smiling releases endorphins, which combat stress hormones. Smile when you hear jokes, don't be too serious always.
The above mentioned ways are not all but few important ways to make yourself happy.
Be Happy... Stay Healthy
Can You Take It?: Say Your Own!....Be part of this hot topic.
Women are expected to honour their man and be submissive to him. In our environment here as an African, a woman that want to stay long in her husband's house and enjoy her family need to be very humble and patient.
Meanwhile, some men want more respect and can force their way to get it. It is not a new thing that some ladies are so disrespectful but is it right to correct wrong with wrong?
I know of a man, while we were talking about ladies in general, he happily shared the story of how he always beat his wife, he said “the only way to correct a woman as well as gain her total respect is by beating her real good”. Meanwhile, I have also come across a lady (single) that said she likes guys that correct through beating, she said guys like that can't be boring.
It is obvious that some ladies like to be corrected by beating and also that some men see beating as a way to gain total respect from their women.
Is beating woman a good way to really get their total submission?
What can you say about guys that beat their woman and also women that loves been beating...
Creativity: Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti Students has done it again!
It Is not a new thing that Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State students are one of the best in the Nation in term of Technology.
Some Students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti have recorded another breakthrough in science.
The students have succeeded in using their expertise to build several technological devices such as drone, hydrogen gas, hydro power plant, oxy acetylene gas welding manifolds, Ethanol for powering generators and energy through water force among others.
The exercise which was supervised by lecturers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti, gave the students opportunities to explain how they carried out the projects and its aims.
Defending the projects, some of the students, including Omotoso Micheal, Ajayi Temitope explained that they were able to achieve the feat through the help of competent and qualified lecturers in their department.
The students promised to utilize such skills beyond the four corners of the classroom.
Reacting to the development, the Head of Engineering Department, Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti, Engineer Olorunisola Abayomi noted that the students were well trained to compete with their counterparts in the labour market and called on Federal and State governments to invest in the institution and the students for better breakthroughs in science.
Also, the supervising lecturer of the students that produce the hydro power, Engineer. Kayode Afuye urged Ekiti state government to take advantage of the invention to provide electricity for its citizens.
On the drone, the project Coordinator of the Department, Engineer John Momoh explained that, if the project was properly funded by government it could be used to fight insecurity affecting the nation through surveillance.
On his own, Dr Ejiko Samuel who supervised the students that produce ethanol and gas through waste of animals explained that the product was more economical and environmental friendly.
Speaking on the important of oxy acetylene gas welding manifold, Engineer Nurudeen Olawole said it would ensure safety of the students while welding unlike the old method.
The lecturers appreciated the spport of the Polytechnic Rector, Dr Dayo Oladebeye called on the Federal and state governments to invest in Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti for students of the institution to make the country proud in the area of technological advancement.

Story of Madam Janet, a popular beans seller in Abeokuta.
SEBIOTIMO ELEWA SAPON. (Madam Janet Odesola, the famous beans seller in Abeokuta)
"Sapon" was extracted and coinage from the word "Saponloore.... Se Apon loore" meaning; help the bachelors).
Sapon was the meeting place where people, especially men who had not married used to go and eat delicious foods and drink in those days in Abeokuta.
Sapon connects Ijaiye, Ago-Oba, Itoku, Lafenwa, Isale Igbein and Ake roads.
Many people are unaware of what led to the popular slang "Sebiotimo, elewa sapon", literally meaning "Cut your coat according to your size".
Now sit back and let me tell you.
There was actually a woman called Madam Janet Ewusi Odesola who was selling Beans at Sapon. Important personalities, Kings, Govt officials, Men, women and children loved her sumptuous cooked beans with stew, Ewa Pekule.
Madam Janet was born in 1925 and went to Methodist primary school, Ijoko Abeokuta. She was initially hawking dry fishes, before she forayed into cooked beans in 1951.
Her beans was selling very fast despite cooking a big bag of beans daily.
People bought with cash and when they were out of cash, they buy on credit.
It got to the point that the beans seller could not handle the credits anymore!
She devised a means of preventing people from buying on credit.
Whenever they came to her, she asked for money, if it was 10kobo they had, she sold 10k worth of beans.
If they beg for more beans on credit she told them, "SEBIOTIMO;" that is, "cut your cloth....."
With time, people got used to her new style. Before they asked for more, they already knew the response she would give.
As a result, they nick named her "Se biotimo, elewa sapon".
More so, she only sold one big pot of beans per day, she did not cook extra. So, when people asked her why she didn't cook more, she would reply; "Mo se bi motimo ni") meaning "I cut my cloth according to my size".
In this new year, Sebiotimo! Cut your cloth according to your clothes. Don't overstretch your hands. Limit yourself to what you can afford.

SUICIDE IN OUR SOCIETY
This article will help us to know how to prevent suicide.
Suicide as we know is the act of killing oneself or hurting oneself because of emotional depression. It can also mean the international act of causing one's own death.
With good research across the globe, So many factors has contributed to the way and reason people commit suicide in our society, some of these reasons are: mental disorderliness, depression, over thinking, family problem, hatred from loved ones, rejection , poverty, sexual abuse (rape), relationship breakdown and so on.
There was a lady recently who committed suicide just because her boyfriend said he is no more interested in the relationship, another one happened when a guy failed about two courses in his final year and felt like the whole world is against him thereby committing suicide.
Ways not to be a victim of Suicide
1. Relate with good people around you and gladly do what will make you happy.
2. Avoid staying alone always. To reduce the thoughts that always come to your mind.
3. Always open your mind to your trusted ones.
4. Avoid having evil thoughts when they are coming to mind, avert it immediately and do something that will make you happy.
5. Pray to God always and let God be your best friend.
6. Also be your best friend. No one can know you better than yourself. Understand that we all have a purpose to fulfill on earth
7. Let positive thoughts rule your mind
8. Understand that failure is not the end of life, it is an opportunity to start with a different strategy.
10. As a parent, get to know your kids more.
Suicide is evil, say no to evil.
Never rely on people and understand the nature of men. Let love rule your mind.
Check on you neighbour to know how they are doing, you never can tell when you are really saving lives.
Show love to your family, encourage one another in a positive way. Never be a victim of suicide.
Overcoming Stress
Let's consider this Bible passage to create a focal point..
“I know where I came from and where I am going.” Jn 8:14 NIV
Know what you want to accomplish. Jesus said, “I know where I came from and where I am going”.
Can you say that too? Unless you plan your life and establish priorities, you’ll be pressured by other people to do what they think is important. Every day you either live by priorities or you live by pressures.
There’s no other option. Either you decide what’s important in your life or you let other people decide for you.
It’s easy to operate under the tyranny of the urgent, to come to the end of your day and wonder, “Have I accomplished anything at all? I used up a lot of energy and did a lot of things, but did I achieve anything important?”
Busyness is not necessarily productivity. You may be spinning in circles but not accomplishing anything of real value.
Preparation causes you to be at ease. Or to put it another way, preparation prevents pressure, whereas procrastination produces pressure. Good organization and good preparation reduce stress because you know who you are, who you’re trying to please, and what you want to accomplish.
Having clearly defined goals simplifies life. So spend a few minutes at the beginning of every day talking with God in prayer. Then look at your schedule for the day and decide: “Is this really the way I want to spend a day of my life? Am I willing to exchange the next twenty-four valuable hours for these activities?”
The right answer to those two questions will lower your stress level by helping you prioritize.
A wise man said, your past is a waste paper, your present is a news paper and your future is a question paper. What do you do with waste paper? Of course you throw it away!
Generate a new strategy to do away with external pressure put upon you by people. Prepare your way and be stress free.
Understanding what 'Relationship' is.
Relationship is a close connection between two people, especially one involving romantic or sexual feelings. We have other definitions for relationship but we are going to use this one since it has what we need.
Relationship is like a learning school, you need to understand that it is a stage where you learn and practice what you have learnt while growing up. You learn how to tolerate someone that has different perspective about life. You give what you can take, open to a different way of life, share different orientation and be ready to learn from each other. There is tendency for youth to listen to their partner better than they listen to their parents. So, imagine if your partner is a bad type, it means you have chosen a bad teacher.
Relationship is not a do or die affairs, it can work (i.e. leads to marriage) and it might not work (i.e. leads to no where). Understanding this point and choice of people will help reduce the level of suicide and murder after breakups.
Understand why you want to go into the relationship and let your partner also know. Be very sure your intentions are similar and play your role well, let the rest be decided by God. Meanwhile, not all relationships leads to marriage, some are just for you to learn but don't make the lesson hard for yourself.
Cracking Feet
If the cracks in the heels are deep, they can be painful, hurting when someone intend to walk and they sometimes bleed. It can occur in both adults and children, and seems to affect women more often than men.
There are ways to treat cracked heels. We will be discussing some of these ways here.
1. Soaking your Feet in water to reduce the hardness. The skin around cracked heels is often thicker and drier than the rest of your skin. This skin tends to split when you apply pressure.
Soaking and moisturizing your feet can help with this. You can do this by soaking the affected area inside soapy water for 20minutes and rub with oil after.
2. Avoid scrubbing your feet when they're dry. This increases your risk for damaged skin.
3. You can also try moisturizing heel sleeves. These have a similar effect to foot soaks. The sleeves are like socks that contain therapeutic oils and vitamins to help treat your dry skin. You can find them on Amazon here.
4. Honey
Honey may work as a natural remedy for cracked heels. Honey has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Research shows that honey can help heal and cleanse wounds, and moisturize the skin. You can use honey as a foot scrub after a soak, or apply it as a foot mask overnight.
5. Coconut oil
Coconut oil is often recommended for dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis. It can help your skin retain moisture. Using coconut oil after a foot soak could be a good option too.
CAUTION
Do not treat cracked heels on your own if they're caused by a medical condition. Special treatment from a podiatrist (foot doctor) may be needed.
Some factors that can cause cracked heels include:
Standing for long hours.
* Walking around barefoot, or with open-back sandals.
* Taking long, hot showers.
* Using harsh soaps that can strip your skin of natural oils.
* Wearing of shoes that don't fit properly or support your heels.
* Dry skin due to climate, such as cold temperatures or low humidity.
* If you don't moisturize your feet regularly, they may dry out even faster.
Endeavor to drink water very well to stay hydrated.
Self Respect and Its Worth in Relationship
Before we go deeper, let's see what respect is and what self respect entails.
Respect is an attitude of consideration or high regard. It also mean to have regard for something, to observe a custom, practice, rule or right or to abide by an agreement.
In the above definition of 'Respect', we can see that it is a good thing to possess. People with the act of respect are always loved.
Self-respect is the knowledge of one's own worth, valuing one's self; pride. It is also a due respect for oneself, one's character, and one's conduct.
People often say: If you have no self-respect you can't respect others, because what value would you offer someone by giving the respect of one who is as lowly as you view yourself?. You can agree with me that the above saying is quite right. What you don't have, you can't give.
In any relationship, self-respect shouldn't be traded for anything. Having knowledge about your worth is not a crime in a relationship, it earn you a high level of respect in return.
Meanwhile, self-respect shouldn't be displayed in a rude manner. People often take self-respect as being rude if not exercise in a good manner.
Being in love shouldn't make you throw away your self-respect. If you are asked to do something that can make you feel inferior to yourself, it is better to maintain your stand. This often happen at the early stage of relationship where a party who is rather more in love will be trying to satisfy the other party and thereby losing his/her self-respect.
While it is very important to respect your partner when you are in a relationship, it is equally important to respect yourself too.
Most people, especially ladies do let go of their values and find themselves doing what they wouldn't normally do, and which is totally against their true nature..just to satisfy their partner. Moreover, there is nothing bad in doing things you won't normally do if your partner is an understanding type and as well knows your worth.
When you know who you are and how much you're worth, you will not let anyone, and even your partner, treat you as a doormat.
Remember self-respect is about treating others well and knowing that by doing so, others will treat you well in return.
Note: No person or relationship will give you more love, compassion, and self-respect than you can give yourself.
Who should say 'Am sorry' first during a misunderstanding in marriage?
The power of saying am sorry during a misunderstanding with your spouse or in any relationship cannot be undermined. Saying you are sorry to your spouse doesn't express weakness but maturity and ability to embrace peace. It gives room for more clarity about the source of an argument and create more understanding between you and your partner.
Marriage is a legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a woman, that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their offspring (if any).
Saying am sorry has more effect than it sounds, if you offend your partner and you are quick to say sorry, there is tendency that such offence will fade away as quick as possible. Apology heals wound and gives room for a healthy relationship.
Meanwhile, it doesn't matter who say sorry as long as the sorry maintains it originality. I mean the sorry should be intended and not just for saying sake. It is a very simple thing for some people to say sorry just to make peace at a particular moment without really serious about it, this act can be more hurtful if other partner gets to know.
Finally, it is very important to learn and know how to say sorry with sincerity. It shows how well you can sustain your relationship. A long and lasting marriage depends on how well couples can accommodate each other.
