Here's how you can quit smoking

Posted: 31 Jul 2021 04:28 AM PDT

Smoking may be a tough habit to kick but trust us, it's possible. Here's how you can regain control of you health by quitting smoking.

If you've finally reached a point in your life where you are ready to stop smoking, well done for making that decision!

For most smokers, tobacco cravings or urges to smoke can be powerful but it's important that you know that you are not at the mercy of these cravings.

When an urge to smoke strikes, remember that although it may be intense, it will probably pass within five to 10 minutes whether or not you smoke a cigarette. Each time you resist a craving successfully, you're one step closer to stopping smoking for good.

1. Set a date and time to stop
Set a date and time to stop and carry on smoking as usual right up to that time, don't try to cut down beforehand, that just makes cigarettes seem more precious than they really are.

2. Look forward
Always bear in mind that you're not giving up anything because cigarettes do absolutely nothing for you at all. They provide you with no genuine pleasure or crutch, they simply keep you addicted.

Get this thought into your head: you are losing nothing and you are making marvellous positive gains not only in health, energy and money but also in confidence, self-respect, freedom and, most important of all, in the length and quality of your future life.

3. Have one final cigarette
Light your final cigarette and make a solemn vow that regardless of what highs or lows may befall you in future, you will never puff on another cigarette or take nicotine in any form again.

This is one of the most important decisions you will ever make because the length and quality of your future life critically depend on it.

4. Understand you will suffer withdrawal but it will pass
Your body will continue to withdraw from nicotine for a few days but that does not mean you have to be miserable or crave cigarettes.

The physical withdrawal is very slight and it passes quickly. What's more, it's what smokers suffer all their smoking lives. Non-smokers do not suffer it. You are a non-smoker and so you'll soon be free of it forever.

5. Socialise as normal and don't avoid other smokers
Do not try to avoid smoking situations or opt out of life. Go out and enjoy social occasions right from the start and do not envy smokers, pity them. Realise that they will be envying you because every single one of them will be wishing they could be like you: free from the whole filthy nightmare.

No smoker wants to see their children start smoking which means they wish they hadn't started themselves. Remember it's not you who are being deprived but those poor smokers. They're being deprived of their health, energy, money, peace of mind, confidence, courage, self-respect and freedom. If you're offered a cigarette, just say: "No thanks – I don't smoke", rather than start a long conversation about how long it has been since you stopped.

6. Think about it; don't try to 'not to think' about smoking – it won't work
Don't try to "not to think about" smoking – it doesn't work. If I say: "Don't think about a brick wall, what are you thinking about? Just make sure that whenever you are thinking about it, you're not thinking: "I want a cigarette but I can't have one" but instead: "Isn't is marvellous: I don't need to smoke anymore and I don't want to smoke anymore. Yippee, I'm a non-smoker!" Then you can think about it all you like and you'll still be happy.

7. There's no such thing as "just one" cigarette once you have quit
Never be fooled into thinking you can have the odd cigarette just to be sociable or just to get over a difficult moment.

If you do, you'll find yourself back in the trap in no time at all. Never think in terms of one cigarette, always think of the whole filthy lifetime's chain. Remember: there is no such thing as just one cigarette.

8. Avoid Substitutes; patches, gums, nasal sprays and e-cigs, they just prolong the addiction
Do not use any substitutes. They all make it more difficult to stop because they perpetuate the illusion that you're making a sacrifice.

Substitutes that contain nicotine such as e-cigarettes or so-called Nicotine Replacement Therapy; patches, gums, nasal sprays and inhalators – are particularly unhelpful as they simply keep the addiction to nicotine alive.

9. Ditch your cigarettes completely
Do not keep cigarettes on you or anywhere else in case of an emergency. If you do, it means you're doubting your decision. Non-smokers do not need cigarettes.

You are already a non-smoker the moment you put out your final cigarette.

10. Enjoy your freedom; live a smoke-free life and be on your guard not to fall back into the trap
Life will soon go back to normal as a non-smoker but be on your guard not to fall back into the trap. If your brain ever starts playing tricks on you by thinking "Just one cigarette", remember there is no such thing.

Yemi Solade –There Should Be ‘Big Daddy Naija’ To Celebrate Veterans

Posted: 31 Jul 2021 03:30 AM PDT

Yemi Solade, a veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, has said that there should be a version of reality TV show, 'Big Daddy Naija' to celebrate veteran thespians like himself.

The thespian made this known while speaking during an Instagram Live chat.

 He said: "Big Daddy Naija would be a great idea. You will see us in our real elements. You will see some of us that are introverts, extroverts, sapiosexuals and ambiverts. You will also see those of us that are homemakers who can cook, and those of us that are loud. The same way, you will see those of us that love music and fashion. Some of us don't have business acumen; that is why we are artistes. All we do is come out and showcase our talents, and we are appreciated. The likes of Bob Manuel, Zack Orji, Antar Laniyan, Kunle Bamtefa and Ayo Mogaji can be part of it. Nigeria has produced great talents. Join me in the movement; let us create Big Daddy Nigeria. I want to be a housemate. I want to see my colleagues, the old ones. Let us do something different from what we are used to on the screen."

The outspoken actor also noted that it was not in consonance with African values to insult elders on social media. He said, "I have zero tolerance for 'yama yama' (rubbish). When one young person comes on social media to insult me, I will just give it back to the child's parents. My children don't go online to insult elders. It is not African. Forget what the adult has done, this is social media. This space is meant for socialising. Take away all the rubbish behaviour. Let's 'catch cruise.' I got that phrase, 'catch cruise' from the young ones."

BBN Season 6: Wildcards, Maria And Pere, Stir Confusion In The House

Posted: 31 Jul 2021 03:00 AM PDT

Confusion is mounting in the Big Brother Naija House over the identity of the two wild cards.

As you may know, the wild cards are two fake housemates in the 'Shine Ya Eye' House, which are Maria and Pere.

Big Brother had explained that the qualification of the two wild cards into the house did not follow the usual procedure and that the task of the 22 housemates is to fish out who the two wild cards are.

On the second day of the 6th season premiere of BBNaija, Show host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu had revealed that Big Brother would unveil the wild cards to viewers on Thursday, July 29th.

Biggie, as Big Brother is affectionately called, kept to his promise earlier in the day when he asked the two wild cards separately how they were playing their games in concealing their identities.

Maria, 29, a former air hostess, said she was uncomfortable especially as she had to lie a lot just to continue staying undercover.

"It's really killing me," she told Biggie during the Diary Session. "I'm not proud of it – I'm constantly lying. And I think they are going to

The second wild card Pere echoed the same sentiments: "I have played it to the best of my ability," said the former US soldier and trained nurse.

Interestingly, while the other housemates all had conflicting opinions and wrong suggestions as regards who the wild cards are, both Maria and Pere correctly guessed each other to be the wild cards. But Biggie refused to confirm their calculations.

Biggie, however, did give some clues to other housemates during their interview at the Diary Session.

He first revealed to Emmanuel, 24, that the wild cards would be called into the diary room one after the other.

Biggie also disclosed the same piece of information to the Head of House, Peace, while he told Jay Paul that the wild cards know themselves.

After the diary session, the 22 housemates assembled in the House in an attempt to figure out who the wildcards are – knowing that if they guess correctly, these wildcards will be evicted.

But if they fail, the wildcards will not be evicted on Sunday but will have exclusive power to nominate on Monday.

With the clues that Biggie gave some of them, the 22 housemates correctly arranged themselves in the order they were called into the diary room.

For the past few hours, the housemates have been brainstorming to decide upon who the wildcards are in the Big Brother Naija House.

Meanwhile, Maria and Pere who definitely are suspecting each other to be the other wild card – although Biggie did not confirm their hypothesis – are playing their cards really well by buttoning up any type of body language which could open their 'nyash'.

On the other hand, a good number of the housemates are falsely pointing their fingers at Beatrice, to be one of the wild cards, and wondering who the second is – between Emmanuel and Yerins.

They have wrongly listed tons of arguments to support their claims, while the real wild cards are busy ramping up their deceptive games.

As the game unfolds, time will reveal whether the housemates will pin down the two wild cards, Maria and Pere, who are in no way going to tip the wink to their fellow contestants, as the race to win the 90 million naira grand prize goes on.

She explained that she is not a good actress and it's not so easy.

"Biggie, I will not lie, it has not been easy. I keep lying and honestly it's difficult.

"I think I'm doing a good job even though its fifty-fifty chance that they won't find out I'm one of the wild cards.

"I was shocked when you announced there was another wild card. I thought they knew me but I just said to my self if I don't know them then they don't know me."

Linda Osifo Celebrated Her 30th Birthday by Giving Back to an Orphanage Home in Lagos

In celebration of her 30th birthday, award-winning actress, model, and philanthropist Linda Osifo, who was recently named one of the most dynamic young women in Nollywood today, unveiled gorgeous new pictures with the theme TIMELESS.

Photographed by Nigerian creative photographer, Kelechi Amadi Obi, and made up by Bimpe Onakoya, Linda is a dream to behold in these pictures which have TIMELESS as its theme.


"I'm thankful for the influences I have had in my life. What I know for a fact is do not let anyone who knows nothing about you or has never walked a day in your shoes tell you how to live your life," she says. "Always remember that black is beautiful and black doesn't crack. And to young African women, I'll say: Strive to be a woman of substance and embrace your imperfections with confidence and self-love. Your looks alone shouldn't define who you are. Your authentic self is your best self, flaws and all. You will always be a gem; original, unique, and exquisite."


Known for her compassion for underprivileged children and her support for several orphanages in Lagos, the stunning Edo native has made it a yearly birthday tradition to set aside time and energy to give back to society through CSR activities organized by her Love and Oneness Foundation (LAO), which has ongoing projects such as 'The Child to School Project' and 'The Clean Water Project.'

This year, Linda's generosity will benefit The Arrows of God Orphanage Home, Oke Ira-Nla, Ajah, Lagos: a refuge and charity trust organization that offers help for mistreated and neglected children, which will get seven brand new personal computers for the children.


Receiving the donation on behalf of the founder Rev. Lt. Col. D.C. Ogo (Rtd) and the orphanage, an emotional Funke Francis said;

Thank you on behalf of the founder of the home for having Arrows of God in mind. It is not everyone who will think outside the box and beyond the immediate needs to take it upon themselves to set up e-learning facilities for the kids".

On Linda's part, she feels blessed to be able to be a part of putting smiles on these children's faces. Linda said;

On Linda's part, she feels blessed to be able to be a part of putting smiles on these children's faces. Linda said;

I have been very much involved in community work growing up as a young girl and I have come to understand that one of the things we can do without expecting much back is to give back to the people. I chose the orphanage home because my father was orphaned at a very young age and I can understand the grief he went through. My part and that of the LAO Foundation is to eradicate poverty and illiteracy and I can do this by donating these PCS.


This new year 2021 has the stars aligned in pleasant places for actress and model, Linda Osifo as she comes full circle and continues to develop and evolve creatively.
