Only one condition can make me marry an actor – Arike Akinyanju

Ariyike Akinyanju is an upcoming actress and a student of English Language at Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu- Ode,Ogun State. In this interview with TAYO GESINDE, she speaks on how she has been combining academics with her acting career and her fashion preferences, among other issues. Excerpts: Growing up Growing up was fun. I had a normal childhood like every other person but it was also a learning process for me. I had a lot to learn especially in terms of knowing right from wrong. I also learnt to be independent, to be zealous and to work hard in order to be successful. I was the family pet, as my name suggests “ARiYIKE”(child of care) I am not the first child nor the last and I am definitely not the only child but I am special and was treated as such. Foray into acting Acting has been a part of me right from my childhood, from the moment I began to recognise what it meant to imitate other people. Later, I started bringing imitation int...

Digisexuals:Why Do They Believe in Sex With Robots?

The rise of sex robots has academics studying whether people will even need human intimacy anymore. What with the endless hordes of sex robots on the horizon. I’m sure we’ve all been seeing the advancements of sex robots lately. With AI Robot Sophia actually being declared a citizen of Saudi Arabia this October, and a brothel that changes it’s location every night in Barcelona where the women have been replaced by sex robots! Brothel owner Sergei Prieto said, "Customers come to seek new sexual experiences and new ways of living sex. Like us, they believe that this is the beginning of the sex of the future”, and it’s being suggested that even more is to come in a new report from ethics researchers Neil McArthur and Markie Twist of the University of Manitoba. The report suggests, “There is no question, then, that sexbots are coming. Our view is that they will represent a different sort of sexual experience from what existing technologies offer. First of...

Ebiripo: one of the best Ijebu Food

In spite of the fact that most of the Ijebu foods are tuber-related such as Ikokore, Ojojo, Ebiripo etc, the process of cooking these tuber varieties with special sauces makes them nutritionally rich and appropriate for all occasions. Ebiripo is a typical Ijebu cocoyam meal that can be cooked in various ways and spiced up to make a balanced diet. Cocoyam is purely carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients but many have now found ways to make the roots nutritious by adding soya beans while making Ebiripo. According to a study by Sowonola O. A. Et al, from the Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, “The combination of cocoyam and soyabeans in the processing of Ebiripo will bring about nutrient complement ability”. They submitted in their findings that Ebiripo fortified with 40% soya flour was significantly 28% higher in protein and 8.4% higher in fat than the other Ebiripo samples. Ingredients needed for a Nutritious Ebiripo Cocoyam Soya beans Ground fresh P...

Polygamy is never a sin in the Bible

Traditionally and religious wise, there is nothing wrong with polygamy. The love for material things is the cause of the jealousy plotted by the West to curtail African growth.  If you read the Bible very well, you will see that polygamy is one of the mechanisms God designed to make sure that every lady/ woman that wants to get married does so. I advise you to do your own independent research on it and you will concur with me. That was the path I took. It will not surprise you that the major actors of the Bible are polygamous. Few of them are Moses, Gideon, Ezra, Abraham, Jacob, Caleb, Solomon, Simeon, Zedekiah, Elkanah, Abijah, Jehoram and Manasseh. It is recorded in the Bible that God had a wonderful relationship with these people, disciplining them for various transgressions but not for marrying more than one wife. When people say polygamy is a sin, I often ask, how, from where in the Bible? The answer they will give are usually tenuous, lack substance and a mismatch of Bible...
