THE COURAGE TO CHOOSE HONESTLY

-



Recently, an anonymous caller phoned into a radio programme in Lagos, Nigeria, to share a deeply personal dilemma. She explained that she was struggling with how to tell her fiancĂ© that she could not go through with their marriage because of his physical inadequacy. The woman revealed that she had been engaged to him for over two years. She described him as kind-hearted, well-educated, and gainfully employed—qualities that would ordinarily make him an ideal partner. Yet, she confessed that she feared he would not be able to satisfy her sexually, lamenting that his manhood appeared underdeveloped. Her candid admission about a man she had once envisioned spending her life with may sound humorous to some, but it reflects a serious truth: she chose honesty over compromise. Rather than entering a marriage where she would feel unfulfilled, she bravely spoke out about her concerns. This story highlights a broader lesson. Many men and women ignore their inner convictions, pretending to be content, only to regret their choices later. The caller’s boldness serves as a reminder that it is better to make decisions aligned with one’s conscience than to be swayed by external pressures. True happiness in companionship comes from authenticity, not pretense.

    Hmm, interesting. What advice do you have for someone who is in a similar situation (though not about size of private part) but already with kids and about to get wedded but now seems to lose interest in the marriage?

    Various factors can make a man or a woman lose interest in his/her spouse. One of such factors is sudden change in character. Couples expect evergreen love from each other. The moment either of them notices a decline in affection for the other, the issue of trust begins to dwindle. As a loving partner, you should be able to forgive circumstances that led to the distrust from your partner.

    There's no perfect relationship anywhere. Couples should be ready to forgive each other as soon as possible. That is the bedrock of a successful marriage

    In a relationship, once you know the truth about anything concerning the relationship, you have the choice to take a decision that suits you, so i dont blame the woman for decision

      I also support her decision to opt out of the relationship before it's too late. Indeed, I salute bravery.

    The woman took a wise decision rather than to regret in future.

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...
