7 Tips For Being A Better Husband

By Joe Beam

Even the greatest athlete benefits from coaching. Though I realize that husbands reading this likely are already awesome, I offer these tips as a marriage coach. Use them to go from great to glorious in seven easy steps.

TIP 1: Do Not Talk To Her As If She Is One of The Guys.
Listen to guy buddies talk about anything for more than five minutes and you likely will hear one of them let the other know that he is an idiot. When men talk with their male friends, they tend to be direct or even argumentative. They share their opinions freely and bluntly. They jokingly insult each other. They blast anything the other guy says that they do not like or agree with. They rarely stop to think, “Am I being insensitive? Could I possibly be hurting his feelings?” The guy code is to let the chips fall where they may.

What Are The National Symbols of Nigeria?

By Atala

Big Ben. The Empire State Building. The vuvuzela. The Great Wall of China. The samba. I'm sure that you all recognise these as national symbols of the countries that they're in. And the worldwide recognition that these symbols have not only does wonders for the tourism industries of their respective countries, they also serve as a means for reinforcing the identities and the national pride of the citizens of those countries.

A John Kumuyi Wedding Eye-Witness Defends Love Odih

A commenter on the wedding post of John Kumuyi and Love Odih claims to be an eye witness to the wedding and that the photos have been unfairly and maliciously over analysed.

Short Film - Be My Guest

A story of a loss, grief, forgiveness, letting go, and redeeming love. This is another LowlaDee short film production. OK, maybe the story seemed rushed, and the end a bit corny but otherwise, this is worthy of all praise. I actually preferred the new actors to the current Nollywood stars who have become so predictable. I might change Kevin though, I love hunks for my leading men, bite me :)

Couple Love - Tiwa Savage and Tunde Balogun

Tiwa Savage got a most public proposal back [see pictures] in February from her manager, now fiance Tunde Balogun, also known as Tee Billz. Since then they have spotted a few times in public together. One of those couples you can easily say they look good together.

Dear Myne - These Unwelcome Visitors Have Refused To Leave My Home

I wish this was fiction but it isn’t. I can’t vividly put everything on paper, so I’ll try to make it short. I’m a guy trying to make a decent living in the hustle and hustle chaos of Lagos like most people. I stay alone in a room self-contained apartment somewhere in the Lekki corridor. Those who know Lekki can agree with me it’s plagued with unreasonably astronomical rent. One day out of the blue my childhood friend called. He is in Lagos with the family somewhere around Ikotun. I promptly cleared my calendar and paid them a visit.

Short Story - I Was Not the Type For Dele

Anna met Dele... I feel like that could be the beginning and the end of my story. Anna met Dele. Have you ever met someone who singularly divides your life into two? The time before and the time after him.

I met Dele. It was not a dramatic moment, it wasn't romantic. We shared a cab from the airport. I arrived Nnamdi Azikwe Airport Abuja late one evening from Calabar. It was my first time in Abuja. I tried bargaining with the cabs i saw, they were ready to charge me a head and a foot to Gwarimpa that was when he showed up, he was going in my direction and suggested we share a cab.
