How your relationship might be unhealthy



“Love is a beautiful thing.” These are the famous words of the Fall in Love crooner, D’Banj and I couldn’t agree more. Love is such a right thing that seems you can never go wrong. However, there are times when even people who genuinely care about each other miss it. Those moments lead to unhealthy relationships.

You might be wondering how people who actually love each other can make a mistake.  You might assume that love is the only and most important ingredient in relationships but there are times when there should be limits.

A relationship in which you two are all over each other all the time such that you can’t do without each other smells fishy. I know of a couple who were so into each other that despite the fact that their differences in religion caused that they had no future together, they remained together. After a while, they decided that breaking up would be the best course of action for both of them since their families would not condone their getting married. They broke up and lo and behold, they both fell ill so they had to get back together. Eventually, they gave the break up another try due to external pressures. They were both miserable and so it took the girl finding a rebound guy while the guy had to get help from friends to get back on his feet.

There is something seriously wrong with that picture. Inasmuch as it is a good thing to care selflessly for each other, you two must also be able to exist outside of each other. If it so happens that someone is not meant for you and you have to break up, why should you fall sick?

A relationship is meant to be between two self-sufficient people that have decided to commit to a partnership, not two people who depend on each other to survive.

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth. This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation). During circumcision, the fore skin that covers the head of the penis is cut off and the operated part is treated to heal quickly and to prevent any form of infection. Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the t...
