Religion Not Enslavement

I am a great believer, a testifier of God and his marvelous ways. My faith has worked for me in most circumstances and sometimes I just trust in him for his greater purpose when it comes to those that are not forthcoming coming; So therefore I apply hope. Religion was made for each and everyone to have a choice, it is between you and God they always say, so why do we sometimes currently live not under the doctrine but under the laws created by religious leaders? Overtime we read about pastors that perform inhumane acts on their congregation, converting worship to a kind of 'followership' . Demanding outrageous sums for a special prayer request, calling out non-tithers publicly, ostracizing a select few who they feel still operate on a carnal level, subject their followers to a kind of practice just because they say so and then I ask again, is religion still among a certain individual and their God? Can someone safely practice what they want on their own terms without

Igbo 'Angels': Case Study 1

The unfortunate cases of Yoruba demons and their busted player ways is fast becoming a norm and a cultural way of life. But, I always shake my head and say to myself... If only they know how the so called Igbo 'Angels' give them a run for their money, behind the scenes.  For a while now I have been noting down some cases and I have grouped them as case studies which I will give a back to back update of all my findings. Note that this is a call out made for humor purposes and all case studies are based on true events but would be told in a indirect fashion. Case Study 1: Kelena* the Facebook 'perfect' bae. When you pull up on Kelena's timeline with a pink Lamborghini, ready to check him out and see if he is crush material but unfortunately, you have an auto crash and ruin your Lamborghini on seeing pictures of his bae splashed everywhere. Birthdays, appreciation day, woman crush day, a love poem, all dedicated to his bae which gets his friends ooing and ahh

Health: All You Need to know About Lassa Fever

Key facts Lassa fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic illness of 2-21 days duration that occurs in West Africa. The Lassa virus is transmitted to humans via contact with food or household items contaminated with rodent urine or faeces. Person-to-person infections and laboratory transmission can also occur, particularly in hospitals lacking adequate infection prevention and control measures. Lassa fever is known to be endemic in Benin, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria, but probably exists in other West African countries as well. The overall case-fatality rate is 1%. Observed case-fatality rate among patients hospitalized with severe cases of Lassa fever is 15%. Early supportive care with rehydration and symptomatic treatment improves survival. Background Though first described in the 1950s, the virus causing Lassa disease was not identified until 1969.

Movie Review: I, Tonya

I, Tonya is a movie about the life of figure skater Tonya Harding and the connection to the 1994 attack on her rival Nancy Kerrigan. If you are looking for action, thriller, suspense, romance, comedy... I, Tonya is definitely not the one. But the casts definitely brought their A game to this one. It is a true life story that tells about the struggle of a young woman who fights to be the only thing she knows how to do best but learnt the hard way that talent is never enough. Prejudiced in the competition for being 'white trash' which translates to mean that she can't be the face of America in the Winter Olympics even though she was the first female figure skater to complete two tripe axel jumps. I loved I, Tonya because it talks about abuse and how making the wrong choices can cost you your dreams. Even though Tonya Harding believed she will become the best figure skaters in the United States, the abuse she faced as a child by her mother and her boyfriend/husban

Finance: Bitcoin Isn't the Future of Money

How should central banks proceed with cryptocurrencies? Very carefully. Facebook Twitter Email Pr If the Bitcoin bubble has  a redeeming feature , it's that it has started some interesting conversations. One is about whether governments should get into the cryptocurrency business for themselves. The unsatisfying (though undoubtedly correct) answer:  It depends . A cashless future is indeed  on its way , and governments and central banks have no choice but to prepare for it. But a cashless future doesn't necessarily require government-backed digital currency. And while the technology underlying Bitcoin and other such cryptocurrencies will almost certainly have many  useful applications , replacing physical cash is unlikely to be one of them. QuickTake The End of Cash? Blockchain technology gives Bitcoin two  crucial characteristics  -- it can be exchanged peer-to-peer without the need for a trusted intermediary, and it lets trans
