MENTAL ILLNESS

Mental health is a crucial aspect of our lives that can often be overlooked. It is essential to take care of our mental health as much as physical health. There are many ways to come over mental health issues and improve our overall wellbeing.

Firstly, exercise is a great way to improve mental health. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural chemicals that make us feel good. Yoga, running, and dance are all great options to start with. A daily dose of exercise can significantly reduce levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.

Secondly, a healthy diet is fundamental to good mental health. Eating a balanced diet that is rich in nutrients helps us feel good both mentally and physically. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, high-fibre foods, and lean proteins regularly can have a significant impact on our mental wellbeing.

Thirdly, mindfulness and meditation can help calm the mind and reduce stress levels. Practicing mindfulness and meditation regularly can improve concentration, attention, and self-awareness. These practices take only a few minutes daily, making them an easy addition to your routine.

Fourthly, getting enough sleep is vital for good mental health. A good night’s sleep can help us feel refreshed, calm and energised in the morning. Practicing

SEXUAL ENHANCEMENT DRUGS

Sexual enhancement drugs do NOT give extra pleasure.

Read again: no extra pleasure.

It only delays ejaculation which, in street terms, means “last longer”.

But the longer you last, the more pressure on your heart. Yes: on your heart.

Even during normal intercourse, your heartbeat rate increases by between FORTY and FIFTY PER CENT when you reach orgasm and about discharging.

Have you asked why most men sleep off after sex?

Now, when you take sexual enhancement drugs, it gets to a stage when you feel you have had enough and all you want is ejaculation.

But it won’t come.

To force it, you have to get the heart, ALREADY STRESSED, to do extra work.

By that time, if your heart is not strong enough, Baba God will just show mercy on you and call you home.

And after initial shock, we start preparing your burial.

And walahi, if they fry puff-puff, I go chop cos I no go cry.

Let her call you “two minute noodles”.

Don’t feel bad.

Let her go and meet her “one hour beans”.

If you last THREE HOURS, na only you and your partner know or whoever either of you tells.

It is not Olympic where dem go dey cheer you and you will collect medal after the race.

Above all, when you are above 50-55, don’t try to sexually impress any woman.

EVEN YOUR WIFE!

If you die, another man will take over the ‘stadium’!

That is if that ‘stadium’ is not even being shared with someone else when you are still alive.

Just like Inter and AC Milan are sharing San Siro…!!!

Ma para e Ore, won kii gba medal fun Dauda the sexy guy

THE FACE OF SARAH BAARTMAN

The story of Sarah Baartman of South Africa who had an unusual long backside.

Sarah Baartman, also known as Saartjie Baartman, was a Khosa woman who was born in South Africa in the late 1789. She is famous for being exhibited as a freak show attraction in Europe in the early 18th century because of her large buttocks, which were considered unusual and exotic at the time.

Baartman was born in the Gamtoos Valley, in what is now the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. She was a member of the Khoikhoi, a group of indigenous people who lived in the region. As a young woman, Baartman was taken from her home by a British ship’s doctor, William Dunlop, who promised her work as a servant in Cape Town. However, instead of being employed as a servant, Baartman was taken to England and exhibited as a sideshow attraction under the name “Hottentot Venus.”

Baartman’s large buttocks and elongated labia were considered unusual and exotic, and she was put on display in London and Paris, where people paid to gawk at her. She was also made to perform various tricks, such as dancing and singing, for the entertainment of spectators. Baartman was treated poorly during this time and was not paid for her performances.

Baartman died of siphilys in 1815 at the age of 26. She was sexually assaulted multiple times and her captors paid in exchange to experience ssehura also know by stage name The Hottentot venus , and her remains were dissected and put on display in a museum in Paris. In 2002, the South African government successfully campaigned for the return of Baartman’s remains to South Africa, and she was finally laid to rest in 2002.

Baartman’s story is a tragic one and serves as a reminder of the exploitation and mistreatment of people of color throughout history may she rest in eternal peace…Blacksregion.com

GHOST LIFE

come back alive!
You are not dead yet.
Look beside, behind, below, above you,
You will still find me there.

I am your shadow ,
I am there for a purpose .
To guide and caution you.

To make you understand life .
Atimes, i can be taller , shorter, than you.
Atimes, i can be ahead or behind you .

As long as you see me there,
Know there is time for everything.
Why then are you depressed?!
Why do you feel alone?

If you chase me , you wont catch me.
If you run from me, i will follow you the more .
If you stand on me , you will still see me.

Why then are you bothered as if im not there for you?

Just do your thing as you do and i do.
And leave the rest
And believe i am still with you .

For i will remain your shadow, till you give up.

In 1992, the Legendary Nigerian FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI and the Legendary Jamaican SHABA RANKS had a ☘️Weed Smoking Contest at the Kalakuta Shrine.

Shabba Ranks (born Rexton Rawlston Fernando Gordon; 17 January 1966) is a Jamaican dancehall musician. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was one of the most popular Jamaican musicians in the world.

Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti (born Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti; 15 October 1938 – 2 August 1997), also known as Abami Eda, was a Nigerian musician, bandleader, composer, political activist, and Pan-Africanist.

He is regarded as the pioneer of Afrobeat.

In 1992, Jamaica’s Rexton Rawlston Fernando Gordon, a.k.a. Shabba Ranks came to Nigeria to perform at a concert but decided to visit Afro-beat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti at his Kalakuta Shrine early in the day.

Of course he was very blunt about the purpose of his visit. Out of youthful exuberance, he promptly told Abami Eda that he’d heard about his smoking legacy and that he’d come to collect his bragging right of being the guy who out smoked Fela.

Well, there is a saying that “It is not wise to go on a drinking or smoking challenge with another man if you do not understand your own system”. Baba 70 as he’s also known, accepted the challenge and the Ganja Kings drew and puffed their smokes away while exchanging banters.

Turns out each successive wraps of blunt got bigger and bigger until Shaba Ranks passed out and fell asleep. It seems he was beaten black and blue because when he woke up he was informed he has missed his concert last night.

WHY ORA PEOPLE DON’T BOW TO OBA OF BENIN

It was recorded that Okpameh (also called Uguan) the son of Oba Ewaure left the Benin kingdom after he was banned for commiting murder.

He went up to Northern part and settled at a particular place he named Odorlerene (somewhere at the present day Ora).

Okpameh was a very powerful and renowned hunter, who was respected for killing dreaded Leopard (Ekpen), (see attached photo).

He took a wife an Uokha Lady who bore him a Son he named Ora Ekpen (because of the circumstances surrounding his birth). Ora Ekpen later bore sons that make up the communities in today Ora.

Okpameh later received information of the death his brother who before then was the Oba of Benin.

It was told that the brother died without an heir to the throne.

The elders of Benin kingdom sent messages to Okpameh to come over and to takeover the throne.

Okpameh who initially declined the offer eventually agreed after many pleadings and some signs.

Okpameh departed for Benin and left his son Ora Ekpen behind.

Okpameh was then crown Oba of Benin and was named Oba Ozolua. This made every Ora descendant a prince thereafter.

Oba Ozalua died some years later. At his burial, his first son Ora Ekpen insisted that he would take the body of his father to his Odorlerene, but his younger brother the crown prince Esigie objected and stated that the body must be buried in Benin.

After much debate, it was resolved that the body of Oba Ozolua should be buried within the Oba palace in Benin, however Ora Ekpen would maintain his position of seniority. This position includes but not limited to Ora Ekpen and his descendant not bowing to the Esigie (Oba elect) descendants.
This was sealed from that day, and remains so till today.

CRY OF TOMMOROW (EKUN OLA)

Our boys whom we sent to the Universities to study are now living in hotels doing Yahoo, defrauding people.

They are not studying. They are sorting. Bribing lecturers for pass.

They only come into the campus with convoy once in a while to show off. Guess what?

Some lecturers are even worshipping them.

Our teenage sons are now driving Benz in the university. They are now the latest boys in campus.

The houses our sons are living in the university are now flats and duplexes as against the self-contained we used to know.

Well furnished and more beautiful compare to room of some state governors.

Our sons are all married in the university but single at home.

Girls crawl around them… living with them, cooking for them, doing all sort of things with them…

These girls are our daughters whom we sent to the university to study.

They are in every clubs and hotels….they are in every front cars, fastening seatbelt, snapping and moving their lips like DOGS.

My recent research in Nigerian universities opened my eyes to the recent ugly reality. I wept for the future.

These are teenagers, not even adults.
Guess what?

We still see them as children who know nothing.

I don’t want to mention names of hotels in IBADAN, LAGOS, IJEBU ODE, ABEOKUTA, AKURE, EKITI STATE etc you will see your sons and daughters. They have been living there for months.

Nobody is going to school. Who school help? Don’t you get it?

Those teenagers— boys and girls are abusing drugs. Not just igbo but cocaine and tramadols.

I have boarded a vehicle with a young girl in AGO IWOYE who had some crack (cocaine) in her purse.

Because she’s too beautiful, police that stopped us to search didn’t search her but searched us all.

On the way, she brought it out, gently fix some into her nose and threw the little remaining substance through the window.

I remained deaf and dumb until I got to my destination and paused, she paused; both of us paused.

Who will save this generation who painfully are our tomorrow…..

AND WE SADLY KEEP QUITE!

THROWBACK PICTURE OF KING SUNNY ADE

King Sunny Ade is an Omoba (Prince) having been born into a Yoruba royal family in Ondo State, Nigeria.

He decided from Age 5 to not smoke or drink because he didn’t like the smell of cigarettes.
Young Sunday Adeniyi came to Lagos in 1962 in the guise of earning a degree but instead, joined Federal Rhythm Dandies led by Moses Olaiya (Baba Sala).

He was given his first instrument by Chief Tunde Amuwo who was a friend to his then band leader, Olaiya.

He was nicknamed “kajekaje” which means “eat it, eat it” because he didn’t like food and rarely ate.
Before his mother’s demise, she prepared all his meals because she didn’t want his wives to be jealous of each other.

KSA introduced the pedal steel guitar to Nigerian pop music. He also introduced the use of synthesisers, clavinet, vibraphone, tenor guitar into the juju music repertoire.

In the 1970s and 1980s, KSA embarked on a tour of America and Europe. His stage act was characterised by agile dancing steps and mastery of the guitar which made The New York Times describe him as “one of the world’s great band leaders”.

His Album, Syncro System, in 1983 earned him his first Grammy Award nomination in the folk/ethnic music category.

When his 1988’s Odu was nominated for a Grammy, he became the first African to be nominated twice for a Grammy Award.

Nigeria’s masked musician Lagbaja, is one of the very many that have been motivated by the music maestro.

KSA embarked on a Hollywood career in the 1980s. His music was featured in the 1983 film Breathless and the 1986 comedy One More Saturday Night. He acted in Robert Altman’s 1987 comedy O.C. and Stiggs.

He collaborated with Stevie Wonder on his 1984 album Aura.

In 2008, KSA was given an award for his outstanding contribution to world music at the International Reggae and World Music Awards.
He was appointed a visiting professor of music at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in 2009.

He has been classed as one of the most influential musicians of all time.

This is the oldest existing Egyptian mummy. It is over 5500 years old.
The mummy, known as ′′Ginger, is from a young man who died at age 19 (as Tutankhamun) from a knife in the back.
Interestingly, on his right arm you can see a tattoo of a bull – this animal was represented as a symbol of power and virility in Egypt – being the oldest known figurative tattoo in the world.
It can be visited at the British Museum, where it has been exhibited for over 100 years.
