Here's why you should consider wearing the same cloth every day

Posted: 25 Dec 2021 01:30 AM PST

We spend a significant amount of time thinking of the clothes to wear.

We think of the best outfits to wear to work, to a date, church, work out.

All of these events have the most appropriate clothes for them, and then we have to think of colour coordination and if the outfits go together or what shoes to wear with them.

There is a reason many successful people choose to wear one cloth in one colour every single day. Obviously, it is not the same cloth but the same kind of cloth. It is called a minimalist wardrobe.

Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, Albert Einstein and many other famous people stick to a uniform theme.

Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook now Meta, wears a variation of the same grey shirt every day.

Jobs, the founder of Apple, wore a black turtleneck, jeans and new balance sneakers every day.

Obama, former President of the United States was known for wearing either blue or black suits. Here is why Zuckerberg always wears one type of shirt every day.

"I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community."

"There's actually a bunch of psychology theory that even making small decisions, around what you wear or what you eat for breakfast or things like that, they kind of make you tired and consume your energy."

Sometimes, we experience decision making fatigue from making too many decisions like what to eat and what to wear and wearing just one kind of cloth relieves us.

"No matter how rational and high-minded you try to be, you can't make decision after decision without paying a biological price."

"It's different from ordinary physical fatigue. You're not consciously aware of being tired – but you're low on mental energy."

Also, wearing one type of cloth makes you become a fashion icon. You become known with one particular outfit thus becoming iconic in your own way.

Here are some secret love languages every couple needs to keep in mind

Posted: 25 Dec 2021 01:00 AM PST

You may show your love for your partner everyday you're together, but do you take the time to make sure you're communicating it in the way your partner prefers? When two partners speak different love languages, even love can get lost in translation.

Not everyone expresses love in the same way, and not everyone prefers to receive love in the same way. In his book, The 5 Love Languages: The Secret To Love That Lasts, Gary Chapman coined the term "love languages" which describes these five distinct ways of communicating love.

Word of affirmation
People who value verbal acknowledgements of affection, such as frequent "I love you" compliments, words of appreciation, verbal encouragement, and often frequent digital communication such as texting and social media engagement, value words of affirmation as a love language.

These people value written and spoken expressions of affection the most. They feel understood and appreciated when they hear these expressions.

2.Quality time

When their partner actively wants to spend time with them and is always down to hang out, people whose love language is quality time feel the most adored. They adore it when active listening, eye contact, and complete presence are emphasized in the relationship.

People who speak this love language expect that your whole attention is on them. That means, no TV distractions, no phone notifications, or even work interruptions. They value spending time with their partner, whether by having meaningful conversations, or just performing some activities together.

3.Acts of service

If acts of service are your love language, you appreciate it when your partner goes out of their way to make your life easier. When you're sick, it's things like bringing your favorite meal, making your coffee in the morning, or picking up your dry cleaning after a long day at work.

People who believe that actions speak louder than words should use this love language. Unlike those that prefer to hear how much their partner loves them, this category of people prefer to see how much they are really loved. These people highly value doing small and large chores to make their lives easier or more comfortable.

4.Gifts

Gifts are a simple love language; when people give you "visual symbols of love," as Chapman puts it, you feel loved. It's not about the monetary value of the item, but about the symbolic meaning behind it. This personality type understands and appreciates the gift-giving process, including the careful consideration, the deliberate selection of an object to represent the relationship, and the emotional benefits of receiving the gift.

Receiving gifts is a pleasant experience for people whose love language is physical and meaningful. Giving them meaningful items that reflect their values, not necessarily yours, is the key.

5.Physical touch

Physical signs of affection, such as kissing, holding hands, cuddling, and sex make people who use physical touch as their love language feel loved. For them, touch and physical intimacy can be incredible and serve as a powerful emotional connector.

If given consent, they feel appreciated when hugged, kissed, or cuddled. Physical touch provides them with a feeling of warmth and comfort.

What men need to do to make their women feel better during periods

Posted: 25 Dec 2021 12:30 AM PST

We are still a long way from being a society that deals with menstruation properly, but it is past time to begin the process, and one important step in that direction is teaching our men how to act when their partners are going through periods.

Because our attitudes toward menstruating women are particularly regressive, with a good mix of taboos in our "culture," Nigerian men must go above and beyond to make women feel at ease during their periods.

Before we get into the details, remember this golden rule: it's all about her for those few days. It is all about HER, not about what YOU think or feel. Unless you're convulsing on the floor, she's the one who's having a hard time, not you.

Don't be smug about it

Understand and acknowledge that this is a difficult time. It is indeed as excruciatingly painful as she claims. You can't possibly imagine going through that kind of pain every month, so don't pretend you do. Simply acknowledging that you understand her pain and that you are there for her is a good first step. Don't tell her it's not a big deal; it is for her. And, as a caring partner, you should try to assist.

It's not disgusting, and she's not ill

If you keep watching Game of Thrones after all the bloodletting, you'll become accustomed to a natural process. Stop being disgusted, and reassure her that she isn't disgusting, period or no period. Also, it isn't a disease or illness, so don't treat her that way.

Be nice to her but not patronizing

Be patient and make her feel better. Endure it and move on if she is hyperventilating. Don't be irritated by her nervousness. Pay attention to her, and be courteous, but don't belittle her.

Assist her in every way you can

You should also help her with her chores. Finish work early and avoid social gatherings during this time. Wash her clothes, clean the kitchen, go grocery shopping, cook dinner, and if she asks you to get water from the refrigerator while she relaxes on the couch watching a romantic comedy, just do it. It isn't going to kill you.

Provide her with physical support

Give her a warm hug, and if you have large hands, give her a relaxing massage. A back rub or a foot massage can be extremely beneficial. Allow her to sit on your lap and cuddle if she so desires. Taking her hand in yours could help her feel better.

Do whatever you can to make her feel better

If she requests something, just give it to her. Get her some sanitary napkins and medicines. Book the tickets if she wants to go to the movies, and get the car out as soon as possible if she wants to return halfway. Reserve a table for her if she wants to go out for the evening. Allow her to remain alone in her room if she wishes. Anything she loves, have them at the ready.

Suggest healthy habits, but don't lecture

You can recommend healthy habits such as avoiding junk food and eating a balanced diet, as well as abstaining from intoxicants. But don't make suggestions; she already knows what she wants. If it's a habit you want her to break, wait until her periods are finished.

Make yourself sexually available

This is crucial. Some women become horny during or shortly after their periods. There is a perception that this can be a messy affair; some people believe this, while others do not. No one can make someone have sex, but if she's horny, getting into the sack with her and doing whatever she wants, however she wants it, can be a nice gesture. You can clean it up later if it's a mess. Don't forget to change the sheets when she's finished; it's your responsibility.

Right age for women to get pregnant

Posted: 25 Dec 2021 12:00 AM PST

From birth, we all begin to age. Men go through a parabolic pathway of strength; peaking in their twenties, and rapidly declining from their forties. In contrast, women's aging bodies are a ticking bomb, a reminder that they are quickly losing their ability to get pregnant. So when exactly should women start thinking of getting pregnant?

Although men can reproduce for most of their lives starting from puberty, women have a particular period: from puberty till their fifties. Puberty usually starts at around 12 years old. However, more and more cases of puberty have been recorded from as early as 10 years. That means women can give birth from as early as 10 years old.

Women are born with as many eggs as they'll ever have- a staggering 2 million. This number reduces over the years as they age. By 37, women have about 25000 eggs left, and at 51, just about a thousand are remaining. Yes, that's still a lot of eggs, but the quality of eggs reduces with age. For this reason, your fifties isn't the best age to have children. So when is?

According to experts and some mothers, there isn't an actual age to get married. Not the answer you were expecting, is it? Their reason is that having a child involves many factors despite age, although age is probably the most important. The other factors include emotional and financial readiness. Let's look at some of the pros and cons for the different age groups when considering getting pregnant.

BEFORE 20

In every Nigerian setting, a teenage mother is frowned upon. But that doesn't deny the fact that your teenage years are the most fertile you'll ever be because you still have a lot of eggs left. What's more, teenage mothers are at a lower weight, so the risk of complications such as hypertension and gestational diabetes are quite unlikely.

However, at this age, women are hardly patient, willing, or knowledgeable enough to carry out the obligations of motherhood. Preeclampsia rates are highest at age extremes, which includes this age group, not to talk of the financial problems to face as they're probably still in school.

20-24

In their early twenties, women are still viable for reproduction, with an estimated 25 percent chance each month. They still have all of the pros of the teenage years, but a few of their cons. For starters, some of them may still be struggling financially to pay their school fees and raise their child. And if they have a well-paying job but out of school, they may still face stress trying to couple their job with the weight of carrying an extra human all day long.

25-29

Medically, women in this age group have the same pros and cons as the last one. Some women believe that in your mid-twenties, due to societal pressure, you may feel like having another baby after having your first. Why not? You're still young, full of energy.

30-34

When you hit your thirties, your fertility drops, but not to a dangerous level. You still have a good chance of getting pregnant each month. But there's a drawback. If you planned on having more children, and you eventually had your first in this age bracket, then you may have to settle for less.

However, in their thirties, women are usually financially ready to have children, especially if they'd been building their careers in their twenties. In that time, they get to explore many opportunities in their careers and know themselves better.

35-39

We already know that women's fertility and the quality of their eggs begin to decline as they grow old, substantially at 32 and rapidly at 37. In this age bracket, the chance of successful fertility assistance like the IVF is quite low, and women become more susceptible to various health risks such as diabetes in pregnancy, preeclampsia, hypertension, and chromosomal abnormalities. The only giveaway for this group is the financial stability and emotional capacity to duly carry out activities of motherhood.

40-45

By 40, women's chances of conceiving is pretty low at about 5 percent. But that's not all, the medical risks involved can't be overlooked. Women older than 40 suffer high risk to pregnancy complications such as miscarriages, preeclampsia, placenta previa, low birth weight, preterm labor, as well as a high rate of fetal demise. And if the woman already has underlying conditions, then the risks climb higher.

Overall, experts and mothers agree that there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of when the best age to get pregnant is. Biologically, the answer is most likely in your early twenties, but there are a slew of other factors to consider, many of which vary from person to person.

But in my opinion, your late twenties till your early thirties, that's 26-34, is the best time to get pregnant. Whatever you do, make sure it feels right to you at the time.

What you really need to know about IVF before meeting your doctor

Posted: 24 Dec 2021 11:30 PM PST

If you've been trying to get pregnant for years, and have been searching for solutions, you may probably have heard about in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Yes, the process can be very intimidating, but knowing what's involved would help lessen your anxiety. On that note, here's what to know before visiting your gynecologist.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is probably near the top of your list when it comes to common fertility treatments. There's a reason for that. You've probably heard of IVF, which involves combining egg and sperm outside of the body in a lab. However, both before and after the procedure, there's a lot more to IVF than that. The IVF procedure is divided into five steps.

Boost your egg production through superovulation

According to the National Institutes of Health, you'll be given fertility drugs to start a process known as stimulation — or superovulation (NIH). To put it another way, the drugs, which contain Follicle Stimulating Hormone, will tell your body to produce more than one egg per month. The more eggs you lay, the better your chances of a successful fertilization later in the treatment.

During this stage of the IVF process, you'll have regular transvaginal ultrasounds and blood tests to check on your ovaries and monitor your hormone levels.

Remove the eggs

A hormone injection will be given to you a little more than a day before your eggs are scheduled to be extracted from your body. This will help your eggs mature quickly. Then, via a minor surgical procedure known as follicular aspiration, your eggs would be removed. This procedure is usually carried out as an outpatient procedure in your doctor's office.

Your doctor will use an ultrasound to guide a thin needle into each of your ovaries through the vaginal canal. The needle has a device that suctions the eggs out one at a time. If this sounds painful, don't worry; you'll most likely be given medication beforehand to help you relax. You may experience some cramping afterward, but it should go away within a day, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Collect sperm from your partner or a donor

This next step is quite straightforward. You will bring your partner, or your donor, to the lab to deposit a sperm sample. The sperm are usually washed and concentrated (placing unwashed sperm directly into the uterus can cause severe cramps). Then sperm that are highly active, healthy, and capable of fertilizing an egg are selected.

Unite sperm and eggs

This stage, just as the name suggests, involves fertilizing the egg with sperm. It is also called Insemination.

A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is used to inject sperm into a woman's reproductive tract during an insemination procedure. Insemination can improve the chances of pregnancy for some couples who are struggling with infertility.

If the male partner is sterile, has a low sperm count, or is at risk of genetic disease, donor sperm is used. Donor sperm can also be used by a woman who is trying to conceive without a male partner.

Transfer the embryo(s) into your uterus

You'll be given another medication after your eggs have been collected. This one is for preparing your uterine lining to receive the embryos that will be transferred back into you. Your doctor will use a catheter to place the embryos in your uterus three to five days after fertilization. This part of IVF is done in your doctor's office while you are awake, just like step three.

Multiple embryos are returned to you in the hopes that at least one will implant in the lining of your uterus and develop. Multiple embryos can implant at the same time, which is why multiples are common in IVF patients.

Unfortunately, not everyone can benefit from IVF. Some people get pregnant the first time they try, while others need to try again a few times, and some couples are unable to conceive despite multiple attempts. The success rate of IVF for women using their own eggs was 48 percent for women under the age of 35 and only 3 percent for women over the age of 42, according to a study.

How separation affects your kids

Posted: 24 Dec 2021 11:00 PM PST

Let's talk about a touchy subject: separation. It's unsettling because no one wants to be separated, no child wants to grow up in a separated home, and the consequences of separation can be devastating.

In this piece, we'll discuss the impact of separation on your children.

To begin with, separation can be devastating to a child's education. According to statistics, the chances of children with divorced parents excelling in school are always slim. A parent's abrupt absence, a change of schools, or a sudden relocation might all affect their academic performance.

Additionally, especially if your children are introverts, they may develop irritation and anger issues. This side effect of separation does not appear right away; it takes time to manifest. When a child is separated from his or her parents, he or she may withdraw and isolate oneself. As a result, social awkwardness and other challenges may arise.

Also, it goes without saying that worrying about what their future will be like without both parents at their side can cause a great deal of anxiety for the kids. And this is asides the low self-esteem and zero confidence they tend to develop due to separation.

Because children are so vulnerable during their formative years, they require as much love and care as possible; they must be pumped up and psyched up by both parents. This has a significant impact on their confidence and mental toughness.

As a result, the absence of a parent causes the child to feel abandoned and depressed. You can probably predict how the child's self-esteem would suffer due to this absence. In fact, in some situations, the child may begin to blame himself or herself for the parents' breakup. It's such a depressing way to live.

But it doesn't end there, your child will almost certainly develop a commitment issue. Seeing your once-married parents split up can instill major commitment fear in a child, and as an adult, being married or loving someone might rekindle that fear.

These are the reasons, among other factors, why a few couples choose to stay together even when things aren't going well.

Having said that, staying in an abusive and destructive marriage/relationship is harmful. If leaving your partner will help you regain your tranquility and mental health, then please do so. Just make sure that adequate provisions are made for the children's future.

How to get rid of Loneliness in your marriage

Posted: 24 Dec 2021 10:30 PM PST

When you get married, you think you'll never get a lonely moment in your life again because you have a partner, but that is not always the case. Loneliness affects many couples worldwide, and one partner, especially the woman, can feel emotionally abandoned.

Marriage and loneliness are almost opposites, but loneliness is natural for many couples. You might be wondering why you or your partner feels lonely in your marriage, perhaps the love you shared has started fading, or the connection you once had isn't there anymore. Below are some common causes of loneliness in marriages and how to deal with them.

1. Hectic Schedules

Does one of you come home after the other is asleep or leave before the other wakes up? If so, this can be the primary cause of loneliness in the marriage. Hectic schedules can make you distant from your partner and lose touch with one another. The distance continues to widen as the behavior becomes constant, and it would reach a point when the marriage can't be saved again.

When you and your partner have incompatible schedules, you can wreak havoc on your marital bond, but only if you allow it. Of course, compromise is essential for every relationship, but don't let it come down to whose job is more stressful or essential. Instead, discuss your schedule with your partner so you both can know the next step to take.

2. Fear of Your Spouse

If your partner is physically or emotionally abusive, and you live in fear, you spend a great deal of time avoiding them and living in loneliness. In addition, during the early stage of your marriage, your abusive partner may have isolated you from friends and family, so you may feel like you have no one to turn to. If you are married to an abusive partner, be vocal about it and seek help so it won't affect you.

3. No Sexual Intimacy

Couples that rarely share sexual moments are bound to be lonely. Even little displays of affection like a good morning kiss or a good hug can go a long way in rekindling the love you have for your partner. If you don't get intimate with your partner often, it can cause loneliness and other problems in the long run. Now that you know what's causing your loneliness, start trying to rekindle that sexual flame you once had with your partner.

Here are 4 relationship hacks every woman should be aware of

Posted: 24 Dec 2021 10:00 PM PST

It can be challenging to form personal relationships in this day and age, especially when people do not have time for each other.

 They need to invest a significant amount of energy and time in maintaining relationships. Your partner, friends, and family all need a bit of your time, which can take a toll on you as a woman. This is where shortcuts come in; below are a few relationship hacks every woman should begin to adopt as soon as possible.

1. Be Open
This may seem obvious, but it is a fantastic way to maintain relationships. Being open and honest with everyone in your life about your feelings is a sure way to keep your relationships. It would also make your partner, friends, and family value you. However, honesty makes or breaks relationships, so you need to find a way to efficiently incorporate it in your life.

2. Talk More
Establishing and maintaining a good rapport with the people around you is something that not many people are good at. No matter the amount of work or responsibility you have, make time to converse with the people you love. Yes, digital communication is very prevalent, but nothing beats face to face. It is more personal, and it makes you very trustworthy.


3. Value Yourself and Value Others
Just as all hands aren't equal, no relationship is the same, so there is no universal guide towards successful relationships. Respect your partner and others around you, and show appreciation every day. As soon as you start taking your loved ones for granted, you begin to lose them. Don't act too needy and don't tolerate bad behavior to avoid destructive relationships.

After caring for others in your life, take time to focus on yourself and treat yourself properly. You might think treating yourself properly is not that important, but it is just as essential as caring for those around you. Don't lie to yourself because that is the first step to ruining your other relationships. Instead, create time for the things you love, and you'll see how fulfilled you will feel.

4. Be the Glue
Families have constantly been evolving, and everyone's usually off doing their own thing. Even if your whole family lives under the same roof, building healthy relationships can still be a problem. As a woman, there are a few things you can do to be the glue keeping your family together- insist that everyone eats together, go on vacations and encourage everyone to share how they feel. These measures can go a long

Moderna reveals its booster shot effective against the Omicron variant

The vaccine maker has now come out to claim that its vaccines appear to be protective against the new variant.

Moderna Inc, one of the companies responsible for the making of one of the vaccines being used to protect against the coronavirus has now come out to say that its vaccines appear to offer some protection against the fast-spreading Omicron variant of the coronavirus.

The new variant has brought some of the early apprehension about the coronavirus back. With infection rates in countries across the world swelling again and governments struggling to contain it, the promise of effective booster vaccine shots is sure to bring some relief.

The renewed surge of the coronavirus pandemic has seen countries around the world consider lockdown to limit the spread of the virus, with countries like the Netherlands going ahead to implement it. The new variant has been widely claimed to be resistant to the first two doses of the vaccine with some even claiming that booster shots may not be entirely effective in defending against it.

Moderna's chief medical officer, Dr Paul Burton said of the booster in an interview: "It's highly effective, and it's extremely safe. I think it will protect people through the coming holiday period and through these winter months, when we're going to see the most severe pressure of Omicron."

Although the data being presented has not been peer-reviewed yet, this news is sure to lift the company's shares that has been suffering a hit recently.

Ooni of Ife’s wife announces end of marriage with monarch – “I did my best to endure and make it work,”

Posted: 24 Dec 2021 08:00 AM PST

The dismal news coming from the Palace of the Ooni of Ife is that the marriage of the first class Yoruba monarch to prophetess Naomi has ended.

On Instagram, Naomi verified the news and clarified a few points.

She said she went into the marriage with love in her heart and a willingness to serve.

According to her, she did her best to "endure" and "smile through the struggles" but she has now decided to leave her three years marriage.

She further stated that her decision to leave is not influenced by the fact that the Ooni of Ife is married to another queen.

She also refuted rumours that she had another child, a daughter.

According to her, the girl is her niece and her son for the king remains the only child she's ever had.

"At this moment, I announce that I shall no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife," she wrote.

This is, however, not the King's first marriage that has ended in a divorce.

She wrote:

"I bless the Lord almighty for His faithfulness in the last 3 years of my marriage. In life's journey, it isn't how far. Still, how well, indeed though satan should buffet if trials should come, I have this blessed assurance controlling all situations and saying to me it is well with my soul. Certainly, it is well. I made my journey into the ancient throne of Ife with faith in my heart and love for the keeper of it.

"Few impressions I would love to correct. If anyone knows otherwise, they are free to come up with facts. Let it be known that this decision to move on did not come because his majesty is married to another queen. As many would love to assume, throughout our life as a couple, I was the only married wife to him. There were side attractions, but it was never an issue.

"I never approached him with any revelation of any sort, as many believed he contacted me first and made his proposal known several months later.
The marriage was not an arranged one, as many have misconstrued. I never knew the prophetess said to have introduced me to him. Instead, he introduced her to me after I agreed to marry him. I was only being polite out of respect for him.

"I have never been pregnant all my life before Tadenikawo; my son is my first ever pregnancy with medical reports to back it up. The girl who is said to be my daughter is my niece. I did my best to endure and make it work; many times, I smiled through the struggle, but I have finally realised I had just one assignment, my son, and when God is done, He is done.

"He chose Saul to be king, and when He was done, He told the prophet Samuel I have moved on. Religion was never an issue between us; please refer to my interview on News Central TV. Instead, His Majesty has a picture he would love the world to see and perceive him as and another one which is his true self.

"Today I announce the beginning of a new dawn and the close of a chapter. Today, I am a mother to God's unique gift. I am no longer a slave to my thoughts of perfection. I, at this moment, announce that I shall no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife but as the Queen of the people and mother of my adorable Prince."

"He is God's way of saying I know about it all. In situations like this, there will be aggrieved persons. I, at this moment, appeal to all parties involved to allow the peace of God with the consciousness that there is a lovely little boy between us. I thank all of my prayer partners and loved ones. I remain committed to all of my projects, charity work and ministry. In this new season, I shall be focusing on God only,"

Rumours of her alleged relationship with famous Nigerian singer, Flavour N'abania also helped bring her to the spotlight.

Chizzy Alichi starred as a video vixen in Flavour N'abania's 2016 music video titled 'mmege'. Her appearance in the music video stirred rumours that she was dating Flavour. The rumours were later found to be untrue.

Chizzy Alichi is married to Mr Chike Ugochukwu Mbah. The lovebirds got engaged in September 2019 and had both their traditional and white wedding in December of the same year.

The actress frequently flaunts her husband on her social media pages, sharing their loved-up pictures and videos. She even bragged during an interview that nothing can go wrong with her marriage as she did not snatch somebody else's husband.
