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.

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...

John XII: The Pope who turned the Vatican to a Whorehouse

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
