When I was in the secondary school, we had a name for Valentine's day and it was 'Money-to, Money-to'. Only God knows how the name came to be or what triggered it. All I know is that whenever Valentine's day approached, we were quick to find a 'Money-to' partner or a Val partner, whom we will exchange gifts with on the day (despite being a girls only school). It was, however, fun for us back then as we looked forward to who our Vals will be (because names were written in papers and folded for us to pick) and we looked for what our 'mysterious' gifts will be like. But that was it. The gifts! No attachments, feelings or any extras. And bingo! Val was over and it's also over between you and your mysterious Val partner. But hey, come to think of it. If our Val's day in school was tagged 'Money-to', anybody could infer that money is somehow attached to the day and the day somehow attached to money (you know, for us back then). To us, Val's day meant money. You spend your little pocket money to get your mysterious partner a gift - since there is no other attachments (after all we were girls only). But now we know better....
In the real world, people get hooked up with a real Val partner - could be your wife, husband, fiancee or fiance - and feelings are shared. Hence, there are attachments. But, will the attachments be bought or appreciated with money (like we were doing back then in Queens')?I doubt that. Or did I hear some say yes? Puuleeaazzzee...Nah nah.
A colleague asked me what he could do for his fiancee this Val and I told him to do something stupid. (Don't ask! Cause the babe might be reading this).
If you're not married, how about putting a little 'ring' icing on her cake and asking for her hand in a dimly-lit restaurant in GRA? Or bringing your whole family to hers without prior information and coming to do the real asking? (Sounds crazy, huh?) But it works more than money. It'll simply drive her....
And if you're married, would it be too much to book a room for 2 in a top-notch hotel in, say Nairobi, Accra or Sun City (with all expense paid by you and without informing him or her), just for the weekend? It's money, you say. Just think about it. It'll work. Or would you just do the cooking and all for her while she takes your role as the man of the house...just to spoil her a little?
Or even take her to church that Sunday and while you're ministering (or something) announce to the whole church that you love her so very much (that it breaks your heart...lol).

Love is not minding who or what the person is…it is simply looking beyond worth, values, or doubt – Bukola
I recently had 'What is life without Love?' as my status on Facebook and guess the responses I got. Someone wrote it's like tea without sugar, another wrote it's like a sounding cymbal, again another asked if I know anything about love, etc...but the one that struck is that from someone who wrote it's freedom from jealousy, hatred, lies, disappointment and so on. I was like...this is serious!
But really, what is life without love? Can we survive a day without love? Can we live, move, talk, see, laugh, cry, hate, think, write, love, forgive, give, abuse, friend, drink, eat, sit, stand. marry...without love.
Let's think deeply!
When someone you love offends you, you get very bitter and disappointed. You accept to eat somebody's food just for the love you have for them. You can't afford to loose your mum...and you (think) you live for your children. It takes love to stand up for someone when he/she is cheated You love your country so much you can't bear it when the US blacklisted her Because of our love for life, our prayer was (on 31st) that we'll live to see the new year so we can rebuild, remold, renew and repent.
And I ask again, how many of us despite going through difficult moments will agree to stand in front of a moving vehicle to be crushed and end it all?
I bet no one...except if the person is not in the right frame of mind.
In love we live, move and have our being...
I doubt there's anyone that can live or move without love.
Fine, it's the absence of jealousy, hatred, disappointment ...like someone commented on my status ...but all of those contribute to what makes life life..and the ability to see these things through the eyes love is the ability to live (because love bears, endures all things), and the ability to be hopeful (because God is love and he gives life abundantly).
Here's wishing everyone a very merry Christmas...With all my love. May this season bring us good tidings, joy, laughter, and most importantly love undeniable.Accept these little gifts...1. I have carefully selected the goats, and 3 are for you because you're special...2. Because I love you, I also sent a tree along with gifts that you'll treasure 3. Here's a deal for the 'GBESEs' (debt)...lol 4. ...this will add colour to you...
5. Have a very peaceful MERRY CHRISTMAS. Kisses***
I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that you love me...deeply, greatly, unconditionally.
Yours is nothing compared to what others think they feel for me. Yours is beautiful, tolerant, enduring, fulfilling, captivating, moving, touching, sacrificing...
Your love never fails. It is FOREVER It's so great that you could give your life for me; and oh, how blessed I am to know you'd do that again and again.
Friends will leave; brothers, sisters, parents will go - but you, My LOVE will stay- through thick and thin; through the storms, winds, happiness, sorrow, odd times and good times.
I'm living because of you - My LOVE; my WORLD; my ALL.
What can I give in return?
You don't eat what I eat. And even if you do, you'd gladly give it all to me and go on an empty stomach just so I can be filled.
You don't wear what I wear. You'd rather clothe me and go on without clothes just so I'm covered.
I can't even pay for all you've done. I can't. I just can not.
You are irreplaceable and incomparable.
And surprisingly, for all you've done and still do, all you want from me is a simple 'Thank You'.
I say THANK YOU
- for the joy you bring me
- for the peace you give me
- for the people you surround me with
- for the life that I live
- for the grace to breath, sleep, wake up, urinate, defaecate, see, talk, type, write, walk, laugh, cry
- for the storms - cause you'll save me
- for rough pathways - cause you're with me
- for each and every new second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year
- for December the month of LOVE
I'm loving you more and more each and every day - for the gift of this new day...and days to come
Thank you...MY LOVE and MY GOD.
You know, I'm loving the Americans more and more, especially as they know how to say thank you. Declaring a day in November just to say thank you to their maker is something every nation in the world should covet.
Say thank you to Him today. And be like him - show great, unconditional love to friends, family, enemies, me and yourself. Welcome to the month of joy, merriment, and love.
A lady is a woman that is of good manners, highly matured in conducts and of course with a refined disposition. According to the Oxford dictionary, it defines “…a lady as a word used to mean WOMAN that some people especially older people consider as more polite”. It also defines a lady as “a woman who is polite and well-educated, has excellent manners and always behave well”.
Contrary to the definition, it is sad to understand that someladies don’t even have the grace to be women. They are too loud and ill-mannered to be reckoned with. Some ladies’ mode of dressing, eating, sitting, talking and even laughing is so poor and makes one feel disappointed. We should always remember that we are what we portray ourselves to be. We should show more refinement than an ordinary woman on the street.
Style
A lady needs to carry herself with dignity. She needs to be wise and sharp. She should be bold and confident. She should try and lead a peaceful life. We need to be level-headed and classic. We also need to make ourselves indispensable in any place we find ourselves. An ideal lady needs to have a good sense of decorum; she needs to observe etiquette when occasion calls for; she needs to have a good charisma coupled with an embracing and admirable mannerism. Women should remember also that having a good carriage too will boost their personalities. These are all lady-like qualities that makes, if not a complete but a nearly perfect lady.
Demeanour
For the fact that ladies are seen to be flexible in nature does not guarantee or warrant them to behave flexibly, believe stupidly and be a shallow thinker. Instead, they should be agile, willing to take risks, and prove especially impressive. They shouldn’t look down on themselves. They should understand that they need to be heard and felt, wherever they are. It gives one a sense of belonging. It is so unfortunate to find out that most ladies don’t see themselves as being competent enough to be among people that make things happen. They believe it is men’s world, due to the challenging or perhaps difficult roles or tasks that most men undergo. They assume that some of the daunting tasks should be handled by their male counter-parts probably due to their lack of self-confidence, poor self assessment, inferiority complex, lack of will-power or primarily due to some traditional beliefs and practices, such as: Women being a full house wife and inability or limitation to contribute to some important issues around her. This ought not to be. I would want to condemn the system as being archaic, unfair and needs changing.
Prestige
I want to encourage us to carve a niche for ourselves and to stand up to the tasks ahead of us by collectively participating in our nation building; finding ways to explore every opportunity and adding our own quotas. By that, we would make ourselves relevant and productive. Evidently, a lot of women are into politics. If they are not audacious, they are not going to be there. Some are in the financial sector with a formidable list of qualifications and are highly efficient. In the multinational companies and other prestigious corporations, they are obviously not left out. This should deeply motivate us and stand as a benchmark against which any other involvements or participation could be measured.
Exquisiteness
Besides, we should take into cognisance that our physical beauty should not be the only commendation we get; but far more than that, is our internal beauty which should always radiate in us either consciously or sub-consciously. It is the utmost. Some of the internal qualities are: patience, gentility, diligence, wisdom, humility, kindness, caring, submissiveness (as in a marriage), endurance, love, generosity etc.
Therefore, ladies, without mincing words together, I believe we are all charged up to take the bull by the horn without more ado. I assume that we are not just going to fold our hands and watch what is happening all around us like a spectator but with drive and passion, we should turn a new leaf and make ourselves useful in our time.
Okkk, before you criticise me or say 'What's Bukola up to now?', I'd love it if you could take your time to read this. If you cannot read it in a cafe (because of the cost it will incur) or during working hours so as not to look too unprofessional while at work, please copy it in a flash and read it at your leisure (at home, in the night, maybe?).
This is about the longest article I've ever uploaded. Well, I couldn't edit it because I found all the information in it valuable...and it was sent to my mail on Saturday, so I am not the original author. But the article struck a cord in me, and I'm sure it will in you too.
I am neither a doctor nor a psychologist, but I believe there are people out there who NEEDs to KNOW; people that your comments will go a long way in helping them to make decisions the dread making….
I need your comments or views after you must have read it...please. Thanks. Please read on.
AS – Sickle cell carrier; AA – Normal genes; SS – Sickle cell genes
Ok! Now I get the fact! There is a 25 % likelihood that the intending couple will give birth to a child with abnormal haemoglobin for every pregnancy.
Let’s attempt to explain the Sickle cell disease better.This article is aimed at making us more aware of the disease and to eliminate the wrong insinuations about it. (The following areas to be shared should serve as a positive tool and not as a means of hurting people). God is able to heal any disease. He can do all things. Let your eyes of understanding be enlightened as we proceed to answer series of questions regarding this disease. Amen.
A. What is Sickle Cell Anaemia?
Sickle cell anaemia is a serious disease in which the body makes sickle-shaped red blood cells. “Sickle-shaped” means that the red blood cells are shaped like a "C."
Normal red blood cells are disc-shaped and look like doughnuts without holes in the centre. They move easily through your blood vessels. Red blood cells contain the protein haemoglobin. This iron-rich protein gives blood its red colour and carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Sickle cells contain abnormal haemoglobin that causes the cells to have a sickle shape. Sickle-shaped cells don’t move easily through your blood vessels. They’re stiff and sticky and tend to form clumps and get stuck in the blood vessels. (Other cells also may play a role in this clumping process.)
The clumps of sickle cells block blood flow in the blood vessels that lead to the limbs and organs. Blocked blood vessels can cause pain, serious infections, and organ damage.
B. What are the Other Names for Sickle Cell Anaemia?
* Haemoglobin SS disease
* Haemoglobin S disease
* HbS disease
* Sickle cell disorders
* Sickling disorder due to haemoglobin S
* Sickle cell disease
Types of Sickle Cell Disease
There are several types of sickle cell disease. The most common are: Sickle Cell Anaemia (SS), Sickle-Haemoglobin C Disease (SC), Sickle Beta-Plus Thalassemia and Sickle Beta-Zero Thalassemia.
C. Who is at Risk for Sickle Cell Anaemia?
Sickle cell anaemia affects millions of people worldwide. It's most common in people whose families come from Africa, South or Central America (especially Panama), Caribbean islands, Mediterranean countries (such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy), India, and Saudi Arabia.
D. What Causes Sickle cell Anaemia?
Sickle cell anaemia is an inherited, lifelong disease. People who have the disease are born with it. They inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene—one from each parent.
People who inherit a sickle cell gene from one parent and a normal gene from the other parent have a condition called sickle cell trait. Sickle cell trait is different from sickle cell anaemia. People who have sickle cell trait don’t have the disease, but they have one of the genes that cause it. Like people who have sickle cell anaemia, people who have sickle cell trait can pass the gene to their children.
E. What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Sickle Cell Anaemia?
The signs and symptoms of sickle cell anaemia vary. Some people have mild symptoms. Others have very severe symptoms and often are hospitalised for treatment.
Sickle cell anaemia is present at birth, but many infants don't show any signs until after 4 months of age.
The most common signs and symptoms are linked to anaemia and pain. Other signs and symptoms are linked to the disease's complications.
Signs and Symptoms Related to Anaemia
The most common symptom of anaemia is fatigue (feeling tired or weak). Other signs and symptoms of anaemia include:
* Shortness of breath
* Dizziness
* Headache
* Coldness in the hands and feet
* Pale skin
* Chest pain
Signs and Symptoms Related to Pain
Sudden pain throughout the body is a common symptom of sickle cell anaemia. This pain is called a "sickle cell crisis." Sickle cell crises often affect the bones, lungs, abdomen, and joints.
A sickle cell crisis occurs when sickled red blood cells form clumps in the bloodstream. (Other cells also may play a role in this clumping process.) These clumps of cells block blood flow through the small blood vessels in the limbs and organs. This can cause pain and organ damage.
Many factors can play a role in a sickle cell crisis. Often, more than one factor is involved and the exact cause is not known. You can control some factors. For example, your risk for a sickle cell crisis increases if you're dehydrated (your body doesn't have enough fluid). Drinking plenty of fluids can lower your risk for a painful crisis. Other factors, such as an infection, you can't control.
Painful crises are the leading cause of emergency room visits and hospitalisations of people who have sickle cell anaemia.
F. What are the Complications of Sickle Cell Anaemia?
The effects of sickle cell crises on different parts of the body can cause a number of complications.
Hand-Foot Syndrome
Sickle cells can block the small blood vessels in the hands or feet. This condition is called hand-foot syndrome. It can lead to pain, swelling, and fever. One or both hands and/or feet may be affected at the same time.
You may feel the pain in the many bones of the hands and feet. Swelling often occurs on the back of the hands and feet and moves into the fingers and toes. Hand-foot syndrome may be the first sign of sickle cell anaemia in infants.
Splenic Crisis
The spleen is an organ in the abdomen. Normally, it filters out abnormal red blood cells and helps fight infection. In some cases, the spleen may trap cells that should be in the bloodstream. This causes the spleen to grow large and leads to anaemia.
If the spleen gets too clogged with sickle cells, it won't work right. This can cause the spleen to shrink. If this happens, you may need blood transfusions until your body can make more cells and recover.
Infections
Both children and adults who have sickle cell anaemia have a hard time fighting infections. This is because sickle cell anaemia can damage the spleen, an organ that helps fight infections.
Infants and young children who have damaged spleens are more likely to get infections that can kill them within hours or days. Pneumonia is the most common cause of death in young children who have sickle cell anaemia.
Meningitis, influenza, and hepatitis are other infections that are common in people who have sickle cell anaemia.
Acute Chest Syndrome
Acute chest syndrome is a life-threatening condition linked to sickle cell anaemia. It's similar to pneumonia. The condition is caused by an infection or sickle cells trapped in the lungs.
People who have this condition usually have chest pain and fever. They also often have abnormal chest x-ray results. Over time, lung damage from acute chest syndrome may lead to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Damage to the small blood vessels in the lungs makes it hard for the heart to pump blood through the lungs. This causes blood pressure in the lungs to rise.
Increased blood pressure in the lungs is called pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH. Shortness of breath and problems with breathing are the main symptoms of PAH.
Delayed Growth and Puberty in Children
Children who have sickle cell anaemia often grow more slowly than other children. They also reach puberty later. A shortage of red blood cells causes the slow growth rate. Adults who have sickle cell anaemia often are slender or smaller in size than other adults.
Stroke
Two forms of stroke can occur in people who have sickle cell anaemia. One form occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked. The other form occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts.
A stroke can cause learning disabilities and/or lasting brain damage, long-term disability, paralysis (an inability to move), or death.
Eye Problems
Sickle cells also can clog the small blood vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood to your eyes. This can damage the retinas-thin layers of tissue at the back of your eyes. The retinas take the images you see and send them to your brain.
Without enough blood, the retinas will weaken. This can cause serious problems, including blindness.
Priapism
Males who have sickle cell anaemia may have painful and unwanted erections. This condition is called priapism. It happens because the sickle cells block blood flow out of an erect penis. Over time, priapism can damage the penis and lead to impotence.
Gallstones
When red blood cells die, they release their haemoglobin. The body breaks down this protein into a compound called bilirubin. Too much bilirubin in the body can cause stones to form in the gallbladder.
Gallstones may cause steady pain that lasts for 30 minutes or more in the upper right side of the belly, under the right shoulder, or between the shoulder blades. The pain may happen after eating fatty meals.
People who have gallstones may have nausea (feeling sick to the stomach), vomiting, fever, sweating, chills, clay-coloured stools, or jaundice (a yellowish colour of the skin or whites of the eyes).
Ulcers on the Legs
Sickle cell ulcers (sores) usually begin as small, raised, crusted sores on the lower third of the leg. Leg sores occur more often in males than in females. These sores usually appear between the ages of 10 and 50.
The cause of sickle cell ulcers isn't clear. The number of ulcers can vary from one to many. Some heal quickly, but others persist for years or come back after healing.
Multiple Organ Failure
Multiple organ failure is rare, but serious. It happens if you have a sickle cell crisis that causes two out of three major organs (lungs, liver, or kidney) to fail.
Symptoms of this complication are a fever and changes in mental status, such as sudden tiredness and loss of interest in your surroundings
G.What can be done to help prevent these complications?
Sickle cell patient should be under the care of a medical team that understands sickle cell disease. All newborn babies detected with sickle cell disease should be placed on daily penicillin to prevent serious infections. All of the childhood immunisations should be given plus the pneumococcal vaccine. Parents should know how to check for a fever because this signals the need for a quick medical checkup for serious infection. The following are general guidelines to keep the sickle cell patient healthy:
* Taking the vitamin folic acid (folate) daily to help make new red cells
* Daily penicillin until age six to prevent serious infection
* Drinking plenty of water daily (8-10 glasses for adults)
* Avoiding too hot or too cold temperatures
* Avoiding over exertion and stress
* Getting plenty of rest
* Getting regular check-ups from knowledgeable health care providers
H.What are the New Treatments for Sickle Cell Anaemia?
Research on bone marrow transplants, gene therapy, and new medicines for sickle cell anaemia is ongoing. The hope is that these studies will provide better treatments for sickle cell anaemia. Researchers also are looking for a way to predict the severity of the disease.
Bone Marrow Transplant
A bone marrow transplant can work well for treating sickle cell anaemia. This treatment may even offer a cure in a small number of cases.
However, the procedure is risky and can lead to serious side effects or even death. Because of this, only some people can or should have this procedure.
Bone marrow transplants usually are used only for young patients who have severe sickle cell anaemia. However, the decision to give this treatment is made on a case-by-case basis.
Bone marrow used for a transplant must come from a closely matched donor. This is usually a close family member who doesn't have sickle cell anaemia.
Researchers continue to look for ways to reduce the risks of this procedure.
Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is being studied as a possible treatment for sickle cell anaemia. Researchers want to know whether a normal gene can be put in the bone marrow of a person who has sickle cell anaemia. This would cause the body to make normal red blood cells.
Researchers also are studying whether they can "turn off" the sickle cell gene or "turn on" a gene that makes red blood cells behave normally.
New Medicines
Researchers are studying several new medicines for sickle cell anaemia. These include:
* Butyric acid. This is a food additive that may increase normal haemoglobin in the blood.
* Nitric oxide. This medicine may make sickle cells less sticky and keep blood vessels open. People who have sickle cell anaemia have low levels of nitric oxide in their blood.
* Decitadine. This medicine increases haemoglobin F levels (this type of haemoglobin carries more oxygen). It may be a good choice instead of hydroxyurea.
Hope you have benefited from this piece. Really the only way for now of terminating this disease is when marriages between two individuals with sickle cell gene are avoided; but this is a big decision to reach. It is easier said than done. What would you have done if you were in a similar situation as Idrisu?
I was thinking of what to write about when I stumbled on this devotional…Though not the original title, I had to give it my own title, but I must admit that it’s helpful and insightful. Please read on…
When we take stock of our day-to-day actions there's often a big gap between what we say we value, and how we spend our time, money and energy. Couples spend four times as much time watching television as they do talking to each other. Parents spend an average of four hours a day watching TV, one hour shopping, and six minutes playing with their children. And with each day lost, the gap widens.
In the movie City Slickers, actor and comedian Billy Crystal stands before the children in his son's school class and decides to teach them a lesson they are perhaps not ready to learn: 'Value this time in your life, kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have choices, and it goes by so quickly. When you're a teenager you think you can do everything, and you do. Your twenties are a blur, your thirties - you raise your family, you make a little money, you think to yourself, 'What happened to my twenties?' Your forties - you grow a little potbelly, you grow another chin, the music starts to get too loud, and one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. In your seventies you spend most of your time wandering around malls looking for the ultimate in soft yogurt and muttering, 'How come the kids don't call?'… Any questions?'
If you sense a growing gap between what you say matters most to you and what you are actually doing with your life, take action. Get radical if you have to, but seize this moment while you still have it. The call to love rarely comes with urgency.
I am Bukola Ajayi, a writer, editor, and motivational speaker. I work with an ICT Newspaper and at the same time, I manage 'Relationship' - my personal blog.
I believe so much in LOVE and in its power that's why I've developed a flare for writing about it. Love, to me, is the primary reason for our existence. It's much more deeper than saying the words. It's a feeling that can't be described with words. It's an emotional feeling full of compelling power - and could make you want to lay down your life for someone.
I believe love makes the world what it is and so, and without RELATIONSHIP, expressing it might be difficult. Please, read up the articles on this blog and don't hesitate to pass your comments. Together, we will cast out HATRED, envy, strife and embrace LOVE
I am the first child in my family with several siblings (cousins, etc included). I'm hardworking, self-sacrificing, jovial, friendly, but could be stubborn, moody and blunt. I am very organised and focused (which explains why some see me as too serious). But that's just meeeeeee.
