REASONS YOU FART WHILE PEEING

It has been a rollercoster of emotions for me lately and as a habit, I find time to also meditate by spending time in the restroom(toilet). So a few days ago something struck me which I am certain many of us constantly experience; while peeing I farted and this happens many times. Many of us do not see this as a big deal but have you wondered why you fart while simply passing out urine especially first thing in the mornings?

In my quest to know more I decided to dig deeper and read through some things as well as ask people, it sounded so funny yet interesting. 2 out of 10 people claimed they do not fart while peeing which I found strange so If you are one of them its either you have not taken time to observe or you just do not want to admit it. Well, that is my teasing opinion.

I realized that quite a number of people were also just as curious as me, even though I am yet to get a satisfying  fact as to this psychological act we bring to life. Here are a few things I realized:

1) People's body metabolism differ as a result while many experience it, very few may not. I mean some individuals pee barely 3 times in a day or even may not poo in days. It is not because they are not normal but because their metabolism has adjusted to what they take in and way of life.

2) There are certain combination of muscles flexing/relaxing that makes you fart (flatulence) while you pee.

3) As much as I find this particular one to be hilarious, it is also logical and can be a summary of number one and two as stated above. When you finish drinking a sachet of water, a funny gas sound escapes from it afterwards. This can be closely marked to the experience one feels after peeing with gas escaping at the end of the outpour.

When one encounters this, it does not mean the person is not normal. In fact the gas can be strong and loud, not necessarily smelly but it is a good feeling after all, at least you successfully allowed the evacuation of air from "your corridors of power" .

THANK YOU. PLEASE READ, READ AND READ AGAIN as much as you should comment and share.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN COMING TO NIGERIA

Hello reader, its been quite a busy week for me and here I am finally posting what I had been looking forward to.  Many people see travelling as a big deal or burden while some see it as hobby or something that they have to do due to circumstances such as business trips and the likes.

It is quite rampant for nationals based in the other parts of the world to feel reluctant to come home for the first time due to different myths, what they hear based on bad or limited experience etc. On the other hand some just do not fancy home coming. If you are ready to visit our motherland, here are a few key things to expect:

Hospitality: Nigerians are very hospitable. We can go extra mile to help out or do a favor especially when it comes to being the "physical google map". Many people can use their spare time to help you settle in and identify with the beauty within Nigeria

Tourist Attraction: I can beat my chest to say that Nigeria amonsgt other African countries have beautiful places to visit filled with things we can pride as great heritage. Most of the popular places identified outside nature can also be significant to slave trade history i.e. Badagry. There are other places that attract attraction such as the Obudu Ranch, Idanre , Olumo rock, Lekki Conservation Center and many more.


Investment- investing in ideas, product or valuable substance that can yield a long term run is ideal in Nigeria. There are lots of opportunities that are open in our country but the angle in which you see them differ. Nigerians love to explore with they find interesting and beneficial to them.



Great food- the culinary skills of Nigerians is wonderful. There are different kinds of food you will be willing to explore and enjoy. Even if you are a Nigerian based abroad, comparing the quality of what you eat from the direct source cannot be under estimated. Our Nigerian Jollof rice is love at first serve, while our native food differs depending on the parts of state whose delicacy you would love to enjoy. For example: AMALA and EWEDU/Gbegiri soup ; Banga soup and starch ; pounded yam and vegetable soup; unripe plaintain/grilled fish and sauce and many more delicious food all belonging to different ethnic tribes and enjoyed by all.

There are many more benefits of visiting our land of heritage and in subsequent blog posts I will share a few experiences of where I have been to and what I enjoyed. Above all, to satisfactorily enjoy every bit of it you need to have money and the right company to savor every moment of it while here either for business or please.

Please read, read and read again.

10 THINGS EVERY LADY SHOULD HAVE

Ladies, we have a lot going on with us. Many times we have a lot of WANTS than NEEDS even in this recession that our fashion sense especially is still on point. That is quite a great one. Here are 10 things ladies have or should have:

1) A BLACK DRESS- long or short, simple or glamorous every lady should own at least one black dress. It is also the easiest outfit to jump into in a confused state. Am sure you also know that you can wear it without being noticed you are repeating it.

2) A RED LIPSTICK - any day, anytime RED is still a hit and also one of the most sexy and vibrant colors I know. Come to think of it when you read or watch movies far back as the 60s, 70s and the likes of the funky old generation; what do you notice the beautiful women wear? A red popping lip never mistaken for another word except CLASSY. For me ,it is my escape when I do not want to make up all I do is wear a red lippy and a nice pair of eye frames


3) A  LIP GLOSS- this is also one of the safest measures for a lady who wants to be free and simple especially for night outs. Keeping it glossy and probably colorful is so much and yes when you have a cranky set of lips, the lip gloss is your friend. How about that?

4) A STATEMENT JEWELRY - how can you love fashion and not have these? Staying simple is key for me but slaying as a lady must be an 11th commandment. In every simplicity is a statement, either wearing an earring, neck piece or an amazing cocktail ring.


5) PERFUME- I am easily impressed by someone who smells nice, infact with the opposite sex I know guys love who is beautiful in her own scent(s) too. Well, you are not dressing for a guy or lady but for YOU. It's part of the looking good business. Smell nice it gives a special freshness and even commands attention just incase you do not know. You do not have to break the bank to smell nice, do you?

6) HAND SANITIZER- Way back before the trend of Ebola I always had a small bottle of it. It is quite essential ladies have it especially when involved in different things that could attract dirt even with the false nails we are prone to having on in most cases. We are not complete without our handbags so having one for the road will cost you nothing. Washing your hands often may be a big deal but sanitizers should give you an imaginary feeling of rubbing some hand lotion.











7) SHADES - It could be sunglasses or just a fashion frame we all need at least one. It gives this very awesome look and facial restructure once worn. While many go for the names and designers some keep it low as long as it fits perfectly. The best way to enjoy the frames is certainly on a sunny day which is inevitable in our tropical region.

8) WIGS- Times have indeed changed, gone are the days you buy some ready to wear hair weaves or have to sit all day long at the salon especially on short notice. Now,you can always get it to be custom made and almost every lady has at least one wig. It saves time and money and also makes it flexible for you to blend any hair of your choice suitable to achieve a particular look for the needful occasion when it arises. The in thing now is the braided wigs.


9) PUMPS- For me, pumps are vintage and you can never go wrong with it on any outfit. Every fashionable lady sure does have one. Don't you thing so?  It is safe to have it in black which can be worn without questioning on your themed color for the desirable outfit.


10) "VEX MONEY"- this words became "legit" with the different things that happen especially on dates. It is very advisable NEVER to be caught financially unaware. Ladies have bags and purses to compliment their sexuality once out, please it is important to fill it up some some safe amount amonsgt other essentials. Vex money has been saving lives from donkey years so getting surprised at this is simply about getting stranded when you may least expect it.

YOUR SPERM IS BEAUTIFUL

Hello reader, I am sure the expression on your face reading this right now is what I am right about. Sometime ago I thought of something fun and interesting to learn from and with just a search engine being my friend I was amazed at all I found out which will definitely be as funny to you as it was to me so relax and FEAR NOT.

It is quite interesting to know that the sperm/semen is not just for making babies alone once it hits the egg but has quite a number of fascinating benefits. "Semen is the fluid that holds the sperm, and the sperm is the cell that floats around the fluid, reaches the embryo to implant".



SPERMINE(crystalline polyamine compound) is a substance beneficial for diminishing wrinkles and quite a handful of other purposes.  Research has it that for every ejaculation, there are multivitamins with over 200 Proteins, Vitamins such as VIT C, B12, Calcium, Citric Acid as well as Zinc to mention a few.

I d save you the stress of some medical "jargons" and share in summary how beautiful "the whitish substance" is to the body:-

* As earlier mentioned It helps to diminish wrinkles. You can apply bare on your skin or mix with your cream for morning or evening applications

* It serves as anti depressant to the body, mind and soul

* It helps you sleep well (this could be after the sexual exercise itself or by swallowing it, yes to swallow the semen)

* It also helps make the skin softer asides diminishing the wrinkles so I must say its one of the easier ways to avoid anti aging for older women who have also encountered more stress than the body can take

* It is a recipe. This actually got me when I found out, but its nothing strange if it can be swallowed then it can be on the menu too.

* It is a cure for early morning sickness during pregnancy

* It is great for hormonal imbalance in women. Semen contains anti-inflammatory, suppressants such as Oxytocin, Progesterone, Testosterone , Cortisol etc. Semen has and provides healthy hormones.

* It helps prevent prostrate cancer. The man's release goes a long way but in as much as it is important to release and discharge as often as possible, it shouldn't be seen as a yard stick to be abused.

* It helps reduce ovarian cancer. With this I bet the ovaries have something to nourish on

* It also helps the partner's tolerance with the protein found in sperm once swallowed.

Understanding the part of the world where I am from, it may be slightly avoided but avoiding it would not stop people practicing from seeing results. The fun part of it is I would like to believe that "virgins" can still be a part of this test or practice if they so please; it will not
*cause either of the sex to lose their virginity
*neither will it lead to pregnancy for the woman because swallowing it can be ideally seen like milk or water which will be digested and destroyed in the stomach by the acidic elements responsible for that not the ovaries.

If you are thinking "so how do I get sperm without faces being made at me?", its simple!
*Get a sperm donor there are many willing to donate as long as you search them from the right sources and banks
*It is way more easier if you are married, your husband will see the physical manifestation in the changes that will occur subsequently so it is safe to know his sperm has been recycled for the right purpose
*If you have a sibling*** or a close male friend***, if not your sexual partner it is simply about speaking with them and letting your intentions known.  Any one in doubt is closer to doing a research.


I asked a friend of mine in the process of my findings if he has tasted his sperm before and he confidently said YES. From my research I realized the taste of a man's sperm is a reflection of all he ingests be it salty, sugary, tasteless and all other kinds of taste applicable to the bud.

Please note that it is not healthy to randomly make do with just anybody's sexual discharge, be sure the person is a partner who is clean, healthy and free from all STDs man can think of.

I will say SPERM is a small but MIGHTY substance that works its magic in different forms from the reproductive, psychological as well as medical to the physical benefits. Giving it a shot would not be a bad idea, I hope I get a donor soon and share the testimony with its result making me glow. (LOL)...

NB:-***sign means I will suggest the use of such a person's sperm be used for outward and beauty purposes i.e. as a facial mask with our without mixing to your cream.
It is allowed to think of this as weird but I am just as excited about it as I have put in writing, who knows, it may be your next "prescription" from a therapist or beautician.

WHAT ABOUT DEPRESSION?

In the past couple of weeks, the awkwardness of news trending has been more on suicide asides the general economic issues. It is also amazing that since the news of the Doctor that lost his life by committing suicide on the 3rd mainland, subsequent victims have been matured individuals(as told by the news from the rescued victims). Well, that is not to say that there are not hundreds of thousands who may have attempted it on daily basis either successfully or otherwise.

Incidentally, I was having a conversation at work a few days ago and had to write something similar regarding this scary 10-letter words. There are too many reasons why people slip into depression. I am not a psychologist but there are some basic elements one must take into consideration and apply caution to when you notice such. The person right next to you is beside you but may be far away lost in thoughts, in pain, in grief, in fear who knows if your words are the 'healing balm' needed to soothe such person or a 'venom' that is poisonous enough to kill instantly or slowly.

The state of the country causes for worry and statistics have it that the dependents are more than an individual can carry; picture this- you are an adult with aged parents, perhaps children then you also have close or distant relatives, friends or even in-laws who depend on you from the peanuts or stipends you earn in total. Atimes I really wish i can just be a child again with zero worries about what life does;if you will also be truthful to yourself atimes you wish for that too but hey, Life is fun and beautiful for only those alive to enjoy it and fight for the positive. No one can be happy for you except you.

In the face of depression it is important you:-
* find a confidant, counselor, psychologist or someone you can be sure to trust wholeheartedly.
* listen to lots of music depending on your preference
* mingle, network, have fun with your buddies and likes. I have been in some groups on social media lately and I can attest to the fact that those groups are divine. I call it my worry medicine. You can go out on picnics, girl dates, boys hangout and the likes
* always PLACE YOURSELF in the midst of the people that truly make you happy and give you the positive vibe that make you want to never give up
* get busy. 'things are rough', 'people are broke', 'business is dropping' etc. the likes of such stories every day can be pretty discouraging and can make one lose hope but there is a saying that "the ideal mind is the devil's workshop". It is important to occupy your mind and feed your soul even when it does not seem to interests you, it saves us from depression thoughts running through our minds.
*never stay alone: try to have company even at night. Yes! In the face of loneliness, we carry a burden from the thoughts we create and when these comes in, the manifestation of it results in the urge to commit suicide.

Your breaking forth may just be in front of you but the troubles and burden we carry limit us from seeing it because even when we see it we may have given up. Like I early said, I am not a pro in justifying depression because I have also silently escaped it from the silliest worries. This is my open letter to you, DO NOT GIVE YOU. LIFE CAN ONLY BE ENJOYED BY THOSE ALIVE.

I will expatiate on this topic in the near future and I hope you will be as eager as I am writing it ,to read it. Thank you for reading. Please comment and share.

THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL- 2

.......After several years of self discovery, also realizing that my days were counting. Yoruba will say “ojo ale obirin kin pe su” meaning the night fall of a woman’s age quickly gets dark once not maritally settled. I heard that a lot and I think I am not bothered but truthfully, it worries me too much.

On this rainy day on my way from work I had a problem with my car that was how I met him. Of course I could not give an assessment because I was paranoid-trying to fix my car-after a hectic day from work-under the rain. Dear lord!!! was all I constantly said. In split seconds he did the magic and I was set to leave. With joy in my heart I did not hesitate to give him my digits when he asked, If not that he was the guardian angel destined to help I will have been more stuck or even gotten walleyed by touts. “Eko for show!” 

Swamped in work as usual, I forgot the encounter since he didn’t call till a week later. His voice was deep yet calm, matured yet subtle, had pride yet so sweet. “Hello Inioluwa”, good day to you; speaking please I said, my name is Gbolahan he said....and the introduction/flash back ensued for a minute. He requested to have a date with me later that day thank God I looked radiant as usual.

 I walked into the agreed restaurant; I was trembling as I was swept off with the complete package of what I saw. It was a night of fun and it seemed like we had known for ages. This time I didn’t bother discussing with my friends because I was threading the path slowly till he popped the question to ask me out. My mum knew something was brewing, acting like she was deliberately avoiding me but on the other hand she was waiting for an evidence to know what exactly has been stirring in me delightfully lately.

The year went fast but slowly, 20 months after we progressed the relationship it looked like nothing was happening so I gradually started focusing on other productive things. On day he called me sounding distressed and requested I meet him at the office but surprised he called to change plans requesting I came to where we first had our date. I was worried and eager to know he was just safe. Reaching the venue it dawned on me it was even Valentine’s Day, my bad I didn’t remember probably due to all I have allowed to take over my reality.

Gbolahan you frightened me, what is wrong? work, home, you? I had endless thoughts and his actions made me more nervous. On realizing that it seemed nothing serious happened after all I made my way to leave, as I turned back all I saw startled me. In shock I looked back at the table but couldn’t find him, only for me to bend my head and I saw my prince charming on one knee. WHAT!!! He asked the question and popped the ring out, “INI WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND, LOVER AND WIFE” my joy knew no bound as I jumped right into his arms saying yes with a deep appreciative kiss am sure was my best so far. I looked straight towards the door in which I walked in through, so I will be walking back as a changed person I thought to myself. I was extremely happy, and then I realized that truly there is light just right after the tunnel. So much for a happy ending, the rest they say is history. So finally I will be bearing my Gbolahan’s last name.

THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL- 1

            

Picking up my purse as I made my way out I met my mum at the doorway, with the grin she gave me I could figure out that something was wrong. All these relatives that keep barging into our house and middling into our affairs giving my mum all sort of reasons to worry will not let us rest. “Where to” she asked “I see your own duty is to be going for weddings every weekend even if it’s a Monday you will go. You better hurry and get married before all your friends children start calling you aunty abi you think you are still a kid”. Mummy!!! I screamed haha why today again, I hurriedly left and zoomed off within split seconds.

When mum comes up with such drama I always find the best reason to leave the house and this time I was not ready to ruin my fun at my friends’ wedding as it was a grand one and a mini reunion. I partied myself away and when the event was almost over the MC called all the single ladies out to catch the bouquet. I stayed back but after lots of pressure I joined the train and caught yet another one. Deep down I was angry, yet again why can’t I just meet the man other than catching bouquets.

“Welcome o! you have brought another bouquet, you want to turn my house to a florist shop or start donating them?” Well, I was not expecting anything less I imagined she was yet to get over the dramatic conversation that ensued between her and my aunty earlier this afternoon. I have a good job, at least if it’s not paying a million box, I am comfortable having fun doing what I love to do and also coming from an averagely rich family who will stop at nothing to see me smile which unfortunately gets spoilt with times like this from my mother.

I remember I had my first boyfriend while in secondary school. Many of my mates had boyfriends as students but when I saw a big catch I grabbed it wanting to feel like a ‘big girl’ that I was. There was no intimacy and it made the relationship complicated for a few years with me always having to beg him to be patient if he really took me serious. Fast forward to a few more years while in higher institution I fell in love and was happy it was worth it. Our friends and family knew us as a pair till one incident changed everything. He broke the news of impregnating a random girl out of 5-minutes pleasure. My whole life changed, it almost crumbled, I was heartbroken, betrayed, weak and almost gave up on love because he was indeed my first true love. It got more complicated as he just relocated barely a year before this incident happened. I forgave him but we drifted apart slowly and gradually even with his footprints of love still mapped on the footpaths of my heart.

I am pretty, loving, calm, I have so much fun and energy. Infact despite praises of compliments from people occasionally shown on me I know I am physically and sexually attractive; but I keep asking myself this question difficult enough to answer- “Ini’ what then is the problem”? I began the journey of self discovery even though I did not completely open up to love as everything all felt complicated at different point. As an African girl, I know the risk involved when people especially your family see you with different guys at close intervals. I trust my mother, mama Inioluwa will ask me “madam, this one you are changing boyfriends every time are they clothes that you keep in your wardrobe”. Oh no! I was trying everything possible to avoid a relationship issue clash with my mum. It didn’t make me feel any better but I knew there was every reason not to give up.....

THANK YOU FOR READING, KINDLY STAY GLUED FOR THE CONCLUDING PART OF THIS AWESOME PIECE. PLEASE READ, AND READ AGAIN, SHARE AND COMMENT.

THAT JOURNEY I MADE IN LAGOS-2

......She moved closer smiling at me in her black on black uniform and the man who used his nasty smile to charm me continued using that device to get other culprits like me into the "animals den". One of the senior officers said "madam do you know your offence?" I was taken aback, "offence ke?" Cant you see I am stressed already, I said to him; at that point he pointed across and said "you did not use the pedestrian bridge". I was lost with my mouth wide open, "but I did not see it, but this officer urged me to come over".....so many BUTs fell on their deaf ears. The only woman there then decided to play her part telling me how I see the other people there too and they will soon "sort them". She threatened me with calling the Van to come take us to the station which will attract more charges. I honestly laughed and wondered "did I just become a prey?"

I was confident because I know I know people especially If I have to use my mum's influence as an "omo mummy" (mummy's child). I remembered mum was down,dear Lord will I have to disturb her now,unfortunately for me all my dials did not connect then I knew there was trouble. They requested for #30,000 naira else it will become a station matter but I stood my ground on not having any money. After delaying me for such a while ,I even gave them my bag to search of course as an IJEBU GIRL I already tucked my physical cash and ATM where eyes could not see except for loose change as I will call it.All the while I kept trying to call my closest contacts but to no avail so I stopped and hoped I d carry this cross safely. They waited for all the culprits to bribe them and left before facing me squarely, at last I was freed but on this note the six matured men and woman were now begging to drop something after I told them I am new in Lagos and did not see the sign let alone the bridge and for a fact that i was deceived I had every reason to fight for my right.

Many months later, a similar thing happened in the evening but to my amazement I noticed every person passing crossed over to the other side of the road freely with some of these officials being present. It pained me as a lot of things crossed my mind. While aching, I was analyzing a lot too. Many questions of WHYs. I knew for one I had being  thoroughly accessed before taking me to the road shed I will once again call their den. Thank Goodness I did not spare more than 500 naira for all to share.

The rate at which officials extort and take advantage of citizens is quite alarming and getting more rampant as well as nonchalant. Drivers do not use seat belts until they see officials and to make it worse some of their so called seat belts are disguised as 'ropes' and yet they go scoot free simply because they still feel the need to be lawless forgetting that decency starts from your attitude to life not just in what you wear.  Why then did these officials "cheat" people when they know they would not exercise their duties diligently.

We know the beautiful ones may not be born but we can be a re-birth before their birth. If you stay in LAGOS and you do not " shine your eyes" , other people will help you shine it for bad either as an "agberu" (tout) or a uniformed para-military person.
