I DON'T CELEBRATE VALENTINES (Part 2) By: E. D. Oghre

I don't celebrate Valentines. I know you want to know that, so let me tell you why.
Because it is the most stupid day ever celebrated, I mean a day to celebrate love
Shouldn't that be everyday.

I mean seriously, I mean the Bible says show love every day, and never was Valentine mentioned.

I mean imagine if God says he only shows love on Valentine's Day God will be like "hey let me go bless that boy" and angel Micheal will reply "too late it's after 12, Valentine's Day is over" and God just goes "oh well, until next year" How silly will that be?

And worst of us, this generation, I mean our generation have even make it worse (hey guys clap for yourself's )
I saw a picture which said, 'Valentine's day, the reason why a lot of November children are born' (all the November children in the house say hi)

I mean how did sex turn to love, How did that happen, They don't sound alike, not even the say spelling or anything So how I mean did the devil just come and say 'hey look, 'and as we turned, he switched love for sex
Is that what happened So to me
I don't celebrate Valentines Because for a Christian everyday is Valentine's. (a day to show love)

It’s Dangerous to use broom to mash ‘ewedu,’ Gastroenterologist warns

Using a small bunch of broomsticks, known as ijabe, to mash ewedu (mallow-leaves) is very common among Nigerians when preparing the slimy soup. However, medical experts have said that the age-old practice is actually fraught with dangers. Ewedu is also known as Rama ayoyo among Hausa, while the Igbo call it Kerenkere. Dr. Adegboyega Akere of the Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Wednesday, advised women and caterers to desist from the practice. Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift. ©-Marvee
