Throwback Thursday - Solange Knowles for Brooklyn Magazine

Solange Knowles was on the cover of the Summer 2013 issue of Brooklyn Magazine where she talks about her life, family and career. In the photoshoot accompanying the cover, she poses with other friends and models. I love the retro feel and styling of the picture and it is showcased for #tbt.

Can a Nigerian Man be a House Husband?

I have to confess that even I don't expect the first answer from a man when asked this question to be a yes. But in the spirit of freedom of choice for both women AND men, I understand that all a man who wants to be a househusband has to do is find a wife who will accept him just like that. Being a fan of Wife Swap, I can testify to having seen many real life examples of what a house husband looks like. And it can work.

Cue your random man on a Lagos street and the question, can you be a househusband? Most say no. Some back pedal and state that if they lose their job and the wife is still earning a lot, they will partner with her and work out a way to manage the home. A lot are adamant. Either their religion or Nigerian culture forbids such a thing, they say. Only one man wouldn't really mind if that is the curve life throws at him. One is already a part time house husband by the nature of his job.

In my opinion, I think from their answers, that if the men are able to at least earn a little, and have their egos massaged as the head of their home by their higher earning wife, I think if these two conditions are met, I think a lot of the men may be more amenable to working from home and helping out with chores.

From what I hear, this may be happening even more than we think already.

Women - Stop Suffering in Silence and Love Yourself!

By Souraya Christine

Ok ladies, I am here to give it to you straight. I’m singling you out from the men, because it seems that we are the ones who have the greatest problem with two major issues; one, suffering in silence and two, not loving ourselves first. Hopefully, we can change this pattern of thinking right here, right now.

Love's Pain - Part 1

“I’ll never let you go, oh noooo,” sings Faith Evans, “Every day I thank the Lord for you, I feel so blessed”. I remember vividly that was the song Lolu and I danced to on our wedding day. “I wished upon a star and it came true” I sing as tears start to find their way down my face. How could I possibly hurt the man who made all my dreams come true? If I chose to confess, I would have peace of mind but my marriage would be shattered. We were happy, we WERE happy, WE WERE HAPPY, I think as the thoughts are now stained by a reminder of my sins and lies.

Night Out At The Chime For Change Concert

Salma Hayek, Frida Ganinni and Beyonce - The Founders

Chime for Change is a non-profit which uses crowd-sourcing funds to help empower women and girls through education, health and justice. It is definitely something I support and it's great to know the concert went very well.

Tiwa Savage - Olorun Mi [For the Ones Loved and Lost]

A very touching video and song by Tiwa Saveage to commemorate loved ones we have lost to death. She includes clips of the Dana air crash victims as well as Goldie, Christie Essien Igbokwe, Justice Esiri, the Aluu4, among others. So many wars, hunger, diseases, natural disasters and the senseless murders and killings in between. May God rest the souls of those taken.

Kim Kardashian is Really Having a Girl

When Kim Kardashian first shared pictures of her baby bump [see post], I used old wives tales to predict she was having a girl. Some agreed and some disagreed. I wasn't serious myself to be honest. But it seems I have to give those old wives more credit. It's really a girl for Kim Kardashian.

PS - +Rayo Abe  when do you want me to predict yours? LOL...
