MALE VICTIMS EXIST TOO!!!

THE SEXUAL ABUSE OF THE MALE CHILD; SIMILAR TO RAPE; THE ROLE OF PARENTS THEREIN AND THE CHALLENGES FACING VICTIMS IN OUR SOCIETY - EZENWA LILIAN OLUCHI It is disappointing to see how the male child has been pushed to the background warming the bench as if he will ever be featured in the next game, while vehemently advocating against the maltreatment of female children and rape against women. At a very young age, female neighbours, house girls, aunts, aunties and even school teachers are trusted with the care of the male youngster. Most frequently, the protected apples fall victim to destiny hunters who fondle the destinies out of the sheepishly grinning boys because they are sexually famished and emaciated. They are employed as improvised temporary sexual mercenaries under the threat of either exposing the parents of their other offences or relaxing certain rules, such as waiving siestas and exempting them from duties in the absence of parents or guardians—the list is limitless!

How to check if your honey is pure or adulterated

Ways to check if honey is pure - Ezenwa Lilian Oluchi Honey is a sweet food product made from bee hives or wild bee colonies. Honey is free of cholesterol, salt, and fat. Several dieticians have responded to questions about whether honey is sweeter and healthier than sugar. The monosaccharides fructose and glucose, which are both members of the same family of carbohydrates as sugar, are what gives honey its sweetness. Honey is said to be sweeter than sugar due to its higher fructose content. Honey also has a lower GI value than sugar, which means it doesn't cause blood sugar levels to rise as quickly.

In some hospitals, pure honey can be used to cure wounds as well as for other medical purposes. Understanding honey's purity is required to benefit from it. Honey adulteration has become a widespread practice, making it challenging ...

5 easy ways to relax after a stressful day - Ezenwa Lilian Oluchi When we were young and had nothing to think about, life was much simpler. You only need to come to school, eat, and finish your homework. Now that adulthood is playing a role in my life, I'm getting used to it. Most days, I'm exhausted when I get home from work. Gosh! The best part is that I've just started reminding myself that I need to get enough rest to maintain a healthy life balance and a functioning brain. I adopted the practice of prioritising my rest. After a long, stressful day at work, I take my time to relax and de-stress whenever I get home. If you want to unwind after a long, stressful day as I do, follow these suggestions. Take a cool bath: My most crucial routine is to take a chilly bath. I take off my clothes as soon as I arrive home from work and immediately take a cool shower in the bathtub. I use a soap with a light aroma. I can actually relax for a few minutes because of this. Put on Com...

Dangers of self-medication

Shocking dangers of self-medication - Ezenwa Lilian Oluchi   Guilty as charged!!! I am aware that all or most of us use self-medication. Some people will insist that since they have a fever, they should take a known medication for it or that they previously used this medication when they experienced stomach aches. Many people choose to self-medicate because they believe it to be more affordable and cost-effective, but in reality, doing so greatly risks your health and life. Bukola, a final-year agricultural extension student at the Federal University of Technology, once mentioned that “she couldn't recall the last time she went to the hospital” this is because her illness was usually just malaria. Whenever she feels down, she instead goes to the counter to buy white vitamin C and anti-malaria medications. Ayo, a product designer, stated in a conversation that once he realizes he has low blood pressure, he immediately heads to the place where he planted the leaf he named "hospi...
