When I was in secondary school, I dreamt of being a wife and a mother. I desired so much to fulfil this dream that I was practically willing to marry the next guy that asks me out when I turned 30 and there still wasn't a man in sight. I didn't care what he was, I felt I could always make the best of any man that I met if only he'll ask me to marry him. I was afraid that time was no longer on my side and I might end up never living my dream.

It's a big fat lie! Being 35 and above does not make you less fertile than a younger woman says a controversial new book.
I've always been of the opinion that the issue of having problems getting pregnant after 35 is not a universal one. I believe that African women (especially those without any natural fertility issues and those who haven't gone through lots of abortions) can get pregnant for as long as they want until they hit their menopause but all the books and doctors have always said otherwise and made it look like you've committed an unforgivable sin when you're above 35 and only just looking at getting pregnant for the first time.
Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron vows to spread gay marriage around the world
Seriously, I don't get these people. If they want to legalize gay marriage in their country, all good and fine but why on earth will they want to ensure that they spread the virus all around the world? Could this be just a campaign stunt or is this guy actually an advocate of the devil?
Africa has said gay marriage is against their culture, it's not something they want to be involved in, why then, will a British Prime Minister who knows nothing about other people's culture vow to spread it around the world?

A Look Back At Kate Middleton's Posh Pregnancy Style (Pictures)
As the world looks forward to the birth of the Royal Baby, I thought we should sit back look back at the very beautiful pregnancy style Kate displayed through her pregnancy.
I don't know how she managed to look this beautiful, gorgeous and respectful all through but I guess it's a look a lot of women will love to emulate when they're pregnant. I would!

Hi Yimiton, How do I tell my parents I'm pregnant for a man they warned me against?
I don't even know where to start this story from, but I guess I'll have to tell it anyway.
I met Deji 2 years ago when I was still in Unilag. He was like the most gorgeous man I'd ever seen, tall, well built and extremely handsome. I totally fell for him when we spoke for the first time, I knew I wanted to date him.
I was elated when he eventually asked me out, it was like I was living my dream. I was so in love with this guy and was proud to show him off to all my friends. I also told my parents about him and they were anxious to meet him.

Court of Appeal sets Al-Mustapha free!
The Court of Appeal in Lagos has discharged and acquitted Hamza Al-Mustapha from the murder of Kudirat Abiola.
The judgment overturns that of the Lagos High Court which sentenced him to death by hanging.
The presiding judge accused the lower court of being “stroked to secure a conviction by all means.”
Mr. Al-Mustapha was a former chief security officer to the late dictator, Sani Abacha.
He was sentenced to death on January 30 for conspiracy and murder of Mrs. Abiola.
Mrs. Abiola, 45, was shot in Lagos on June 4, 1996, as the lower court ruled, on the orders of Mr. Al-Mustapha.

Dear Yimiton, My Wife and a one night fling are pregnant and will be due almost at the same time. What do I do?
I know I've always been silly, but seriously, this is the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life and I'm so confused, I don't even know who to turn to.
Ever since I was in secondary school, I've been known to be a lover of many women. I used to be very proud of my achievements but when I got married and couldn't stop it, I started wondering if there wasn't something wrong with me. I just can't get satisfied with sleeping with one woman at a time.

Video of Ardi Rizal, 2 year old baby who smoked 40 cigarettes a day.
I was watching a documentary recently and was shocked that I'd never heard about Ardi Rizal, a 2 year old boy, (now 6) who smoked packs and packs of cigarettes in a day while his family watch on. I mean, this boy was so young, he still fed from a baby feeding bottle!
Fortunately, he is said to have quit after going through a rehab after the video went viral in 2010 and the government of Indonesia felt disgraced. The bad thing though is that the boy is now suffering some kind of chest infection caused by the cigarettes he's been exposed to and had smoked at such a young age.

Deeper Life refuses Kumiyi's son's apology on account of his bride's dress and puts him on suspension
I read about all the controversy following Pastor Kumuy's son's wedding in Jamaica sometime last week. While some bloggers said the lady was all dressed in tight fitting dress and made up, some others said it was Photoshopped as she was dressed in a shapeless, long sleeve dress without any makeup.
It looks like the people who said the bride was all made up were right because John Kumuyi, the son of the General Superintendent of the Church has been suspended.
John Kumuyi with his wife offered a video apology to the church but his apology was not accepted and he was still suspended.
Read a snipped of the apology after the cut.

How I got stuck in ShopRight because I didn't have cash. How ripe is Nigeria for a cashless society?
I've always been an advocate for paperless and cashless society. In my office, my colleagues know I have soft copies of almost any document and hardly ever keep hard copies unless I am mandated to which usually gets to my nerves.
This is also my behaviour towards cash. I buy almost anything online with my debit card, pay for my cable, for flights, use PoS machines in boutiques and shops and even recharge people's mobile phones directly online.
I can't remember the last time I was at the bank because I've not had a reason to for a while. I use any online payment platforms you can think about. I use and love mobile money and I get angry that I can't use PoS in the general local market and the filling stations. So, these are the only places I go to with cash.
