Apologize, the best way.

Fights are an almost inevitable part of
many relationships. As much as one may
assume to know his/her spouse, people
are prone to changes. Thus, there is no
rule against trying something creative, in
terms of apologies; what’s important is
the sincerity of the intention.
There are three steps towards making the
best of an apology. The first step is the
expression of the apology; the second
step is to make a promise towards
ensuring that the negative action which
caused the fight becomes extremely
infrequent; the third step is to do
something to make it up to the significant
other.
Below are creative ways to apologise;
Favourite meal: It is no myth that the way
to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
It also works for women too. Prepare his/
her favourite meal. No more words are
usually needed to further express the
apology.
Top list: Make a list of 10 things you like
most about your spouse and tuck it where
he/she is sure to find it.
A good long hug: Judge the mood of your
spouse and just surprise him/her with a
warm hug. Works wonders.
Romantic getaway: A very rare way to
apologise. It doesn’t have to be
expensive. The important thing is to do
something romantic together, outside your
usual meeting places.
Apology note: Make it simple, short and
as creatively romantic as possible.
Yummy treat: Nearly everyone likes
something yummy. Try chocolate, baked
treats, candy or even sweets.
Message in a bottle: Write something
sweet, put in a bottle with petals and
accompany with a simple gift.
The list goes on and one can come up
with further ideas. Creativity also helps to
spice up the relationship. As Nishan
Panwar puts it, “Sometimes, couples have
to argue, not to prove who’s right or
wrong, but to be reminded that their love
is worth fighting for.”

Ikokore : An Ijebu Food

Ifokore, is a Yam Pottage dish made with Water Yam  not White Yam. It is a pottage recipe from the Ijebu people of Ogun state and ijebu from Lagos state , Nigeria. I’m yet to come across an Ijebu person who doesn’t love Ikokore,  Ikokore remains a staple in an ijebu household. To really enjoy Ikokore, you’ll need to incorporate as much proteins as you possibly can to enrich it. Your best bets are Shaki, ( intestine ) Ponmo, Chicken, Goat meat, Gizzard, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Fish, Panla, Eja Kika, the more the merrier. The authentic Ikokore recipe requires no blended pepper, it calls for just Scotch Bonnet (Ata rodo) and in some cases, dry ground pepper but I’m not too keen on hot and spicy dishes so I settle for Shombo. Ingredients: A Tuber of Water yam 3 Cooking spoons Palm Oil 4 Cups Chicken or Beef Stock/ Water #100 Shombo/Tatashe or 4Tablespoons dry ground pepper #50 Scotch Bonnet (ata Rodo) Smoked Fish (Eja Kika) or Shawa (Bonga fish)Shredd...

MY FACT ABOUT BIAFRA.

This is a part some people will not like to hear, but we will say it here for historical purposes. When the great Biafran leader, Col. Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu was granted a state pardon by President Shehu Shagari in 1982, the Ikemba soon contested for Senate under the then National Party of Nigeria (NPN), but did his people vote for him? Lest we also forget, he contested for the presidency, how many votes did he got even in Anambra? Let us bring in Chief Alex Ekweme. We recall, despite being founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),he contested for the party nomination for president in 2002. We all remember how the South-East governors then did all they could to outdo themselves to be seen to be more loyal to President Olusegun Obasanjo than even his own ministers. There was nothing wrong in all these for these people as long as it all guarantees fat bank accounts and unmerited rewards. No one talks about Biafra when contract figures are inflated; Biafra makes no sense ...

STRAIGHTalk with Dr. Doyin Okupe

One major characteristic feature of a Representative Democracy is the ability of the government to be accountable to the citizens. Since elected public office holders assumed power through public votes, it becomes imperative of them to remain accountable to the public. However, Public Accountability in governing the affairs of people and management of public asset especially in Nigeria has remained questionable. Public Institutions such as, EFCC, ICPC and indeed Code of Conduct Bureau/Tribunal established to hold public office holders accountable to the electorates have become political machinery to whittle-down the power of oppositions. Notwithstanding all these, the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria has consistently promised to be more accountable to the electorates.
