WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OVARIAN CYST

‘’Good girls have fibroid while bad girls have an ovarian cyst’’. That’s one of the terrible myths I heard in medical college. The myth is untrue. With the rampant news about ovarian cyst cases, a lot of people think it is another form of STI/STD for women. No, it is not. It has got nothing to do with that. Just like everyone has experienced a growth in different parts of their body at a point in their lives, that’s the same way growths occur on the ovary too. Let’s quickly have an overview of ovarian cyst. Don’t worry about the medical jargons, it will be simplified.

MAN ACCIDENTALLY KILLS HIS BABY WHILE BEATING HIS WIFE

Countless times women have been advised to speak up and seek help when in an abusive relationship. Domestic violence has negative ripple effect on the victims, the family and the society. In most cases, either the victim is maimed or murdered.

In Owerri, Mr. Chinedu, accidentally killed his three months old baby while beating his wife. The wife allegedly picked up the baby thinking that it will calm her husband down. While trying to dodge a punch from her husband, the baby got hit and died.

Mr. Chinedu has been arrested. He was interrogated and in tears blamed his anger on his wife for not washing his clothes, lies and not trust-worthy.

62 YEARS OLD PASTOR WAS ARRESTED FOR DEFILING A 7 YEAR OLD GIRL ON THE ALTAR

The rising trend of sexual assaults on the girl child is very worrisome. They are no longer safe because the very hands that should be protecting them are the ones destroying them. Another provoking one that occurred recently, 9^th of May precisely calls for a high cry…a pastor defiling a little girl. The church is supposed to be a safe haven for anyone especially little children. But in this case, the church was the very place the abominable act was committed. Not just in the church but on the altar…a place where one can have a personal encounter with God.

A FEEL A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY

‘’Paradise can be found on the back of horses, in books and between the breasts of women’’ says a proverb.

Your breast is your paradise, do not let it bring hell to you.

Check your breast daily.

You do not need to wait till October for Breast Cancer Awareness. Tell someone about it. You could save a woman’s life. Get checked either by self- examination or go for a mammogram.

 ‘’Breast cancer is being detected at an earlier, more treatable stage these days, largely because women are taking more preventive measures, like self-examinations and regular mammograms. And treatment is getting better too’’ Elizabeth Hurley.

WIFE OF THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNOR CONDEMNS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

‘’Many victims of domestic violence become victims of their own psychological realities. The world of these women is lonely, isolated and filled with fear, with no emotional outlet whatsoever. Sadly, victims wait until it is too late’’ says Mrs Bolanle Ambode.

The wife of the Lagos State Governor, Mrs Bolanle Ambode, has condemned the high rate of domestic violence in Nigeria. She expressed her grieve toward the assaults on spouses, abuse on children and other forms of uncivilised behaviour against women and children which is becoming a standard of behaviour and must be controlled.

The governor’s wife admonishes that any woman who finds herself in such an abusive relationship should retrace her steps so she can live to tell her story.

She opposed the commonly used excuse of societal stigmatization of women who leave unpleasant marriages, retorting that when the woman dies in such a cruel marriage, what then does the society say?

5 TIPS TO TIDY YOUR HOUSE IN A SHORT TIME

You’ve just got back home from the day’s work and you are so tired; you just want to let yourself loose…not minding the state of your house. Then you get this I-am-on-my-way-to-your-house call. Or just at that moment you are just ‘lazying’ around the house and your spouse calls to say ‘’honey, I am coming home with a friend’. After the call, you are panicking and do not know where to start from.  Here are tips to quickly do the magic.

DUMP ALL IN ONE: If you have things littered around and arranging them will take a long time, get a basket or an empty carton to pack them and put it out of sight so you can put them back neatly later.

DO THE QUICK SWEEP: Quickly sweep the floor of the living room or use a vacuum cleaner if you have one. This will make the floor clean. You do not want your guest stepping on a dusty floor.

MAKE A FAST WIPE: With a disinfectant wipe or a damp towel, wipe the side stool or dining table. You will want to serve your guest on either of them.

CLEAN THE BATHROOM: Check the bathroom to ensure it’s in good condition…clean and clear of laundry. Your guest may likely use the bathroom. Ensure the tissue paper is in place and the water is running.

USE A SWEET SCENT: Use good room fragrance (or air-freshener) in both the living room and the bathroom. Make sure the room is well ventilated or turn on the air-conditioner.

You can do this in 5-7 minutes. If there are other people in the house, you can delegate the chores and you will be amazed that in 3 minutes the house is set to welcome the guest.

FIRST AIRLINE BY A BLACK WOMAN GOES INTERNATIONAL

Fly Blue Crane is the first South African based airline owned by a black woman. It is set to go on its first international flight on May 13, just after eight months of the airline’s inauguration in September 2015. Before now, the airline flew locally in South Africa.

The CEO, Sizakele Mzimela, is a pioneer and veteran in African aviation with 20 years of experience in leadership roles. Her first job started as an analyst at South African Airways where she got several promotions till she rose to become the CEO and left to form her own airline. She was also the chairwoman of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) and the Airlines Association of Africa (AASA).

‘’You can stand up and say ‘I am the best person for the job’. Understand that we just have to work harder. It’s unfair, but you spend less time complaining and more time finding a way to move on and break through regardless of the difficulties. Be mentally prepared that climbing that mountain will be different. I’m prepared to climb to the top. It’s your job to say ‘Nothing will stop me. I’m going to make it, ‘because it doesn’t look like, I’, sad to say, that things will change any time soon.’’ Says Mzimela, in an interview with Runwaygirl Network.

Lesson: The sky is the starting point for those who are determined to walk and work through the clouds. Despise not the days of little beginnings. Women can do big things. So don't believe in the lie that your gender will limit you. 

6 Ps FOR EVERY GO-GETTER

Everyone wants to achieve that which they desire. Only a few see to it that they get what they want despite the hurdles. They are called the go-getters. Go-getters are people who get their goals at all cost. They are determined to succeed. They have set out clear goals and are proactive towards getting it. They believe in themselves and display certain attributes which puts them on top of their game. I have called these attributes the ‘6Ps of go-getters’.

PRINCIPLES: Principles give you a clear focus. It helps you chart your course (discover your path) and make decisions.You have heard that ‘’If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything’’. Go-getters know what they want and live by what they stand for.

PURPOSE: Purpose is the ‘why’. It is the reason you want something done. Purpose helps you know how best to channel and exert your energy on what you want to do. Every go-getter connects with their purpose which pushes them closer to their goals.

PASSION: Passion is that magnetic force that pulls you toward your vision. It creates a positive vibe (enthusiasm) which gives you energy to do that which you believe in. Go-getters know that you cannot have passion which for what you don’t believe in.

PERFORMANCE: To perform is to act. It is turning into reality that which you have dreamed about. Go-getters are proactive and they bring quality to their performance through constant learning.

PERSISTENCE: Persistence is unwilling to let go of what you desire. Failure is not an option for the go-getter. They are not afraid to fail, so they don’t quit.  Go-getters know they have to keep trying, irrespective of the number of times they have failed, till they get what they want. If one method doesn’t work, they try other ones instead of giving up. They are always ready to embrace challenges.

PERSUASION: Persuasion is the act of causing people to do or believe in something. That is, winning people to believe in you. This is a skill for the go-getter. It is only when people believe in you that they will support or partner with you.
