Death Of A Loved One

-

Death is the ultimate price which every human must pay. Most of the time, it comes unannounced. At other times, it appears to give signs of it's arrival.

Yet, no mortal has been able to accurately predict the actual time it would come to take it's victim.


When death strikes in unfamiliar circumstances, the bereaved are  often left in bewilderment; they appear  powerless because they cannot change the situation, yet they question God and the gods for answers to the inevitability of death.


If  you like, cry till eternity; death, which is like an autocratic government decides when to strike and who to strike on.


'Please, take heart', 'accept my condolences', ' may the soul of the departed rest in peace', etc, are some expressions to comfort the bereaved. If you've lost a dear one, pick any of the above sympathy expressions and stop crying, otherwise, you will be doing yourself more harm than the dead.

    Sure, the dead doesn't come back to life. So, as the author rightly said, crying too much won't help the livimg. Just pray God to receive the soul of the dead.and move on with your life.

    Death is inevitable.it is painful to lose someone whom you once cherished.people that transit the the other world leave a gap in the lives of their loved ones here. Our hope is that some day we shall meet in the world to come.

MARRIAGE: A UNION BEYOND MERE ENJOYMENT

-

It is often said that marriage is to be enjoyed, not endured. This sentiment, however, is frequently echoed by young women who appear unaware of the deeper purpose of marital commitment. Many who hold this view tend to abandon their unions at the first sign of conflict, treating marriage as something temporary rather than a lifelong covenant.   A major factor behind this unfortunate trend is immaturity. Had these individuals attained a reasonable level of emotional and mental maturity before saying “I do”, they might have been better prepared for the responsibilities, sacrifices, and boundaries that sustain a marriage. Without such grounding, they quickly fall into pitfalls that tear their relationships apart.   In this discussion, we will examine why some women enter marriage only to exit within a short time, almost as though it were a casual game. In later articles, we shall turn our attention to the shortcomings of men and explore ways to address those deficiencie...

THE MYTH AND DANGER OF CURE-ALL DRUGS: A CALL FOR STRICTER REGULATION

-
Image
Cure-all Drugs :  The concept of cure-all drugs, also known as panaceas, refers to medicines that claim to heal every human ailment—a universal solution to all health problems. This idea traces back to Greek mythology, where Panacea, the daughter of Asclepius and Epione, was believed to possess a potion capable of healing the sick. This myth gave rise to the medical notion of a panacea. Figuratively, the term "panacea" is used to describe something believed—often mistakenly—to solve all problems or cure a wide range of illnesses. According to the Collins Dictionary, a panacea is “something that is believed, usually wrongly, to be able to solve all the problems someone or something has, or to cure a wide range of illnesses.” Given these definitions, one might wonder if there truly exists a single drug capable of curing all ailments. If such a drug exists, does it appear in modern pharmaceutical medicine? The answer is almost certainly no. Unfortunately, in many parts of Africa...

THE TOLL GATE TRAGEDY: A GROWING SAFETY CONCERN IN OTA

-
Image
Toll Gate is a well-known landmark in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. The area got its name from the toll gate that once existed there during the democratic presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo from 1999 to 2007. It is strategically located at the boundary between Lagos State and Ogun State along the Lagos–Abeokuta Expressway. In addition to generating revenue for road maintenance and infrastructure development, the toll gate also helped regulate and monitor traffic moving between the two states. In 2012, during the administration of Ibikunle Amosun, the construction of the Ilo Awela Road was awarded to Julius Berger Nigeria. The project was aimed at linking Ota with inner parts of the city, including Oju Ore, Osi, Command, Ogba Ayo, AIT, and Iyana Iyesi. The road was rehabilitated and expanded into a dual carriageway to ease movement and improve connectivity within the city. However, the topography of the area presents a serious safety challenge. The road was constructed in such a way that it sl...
