 The international day of women was celebrated two days ago the 8 of March and I must say, women are really trying to bridge the gap between the role of men and women in the society. We see women that take Jobs that we literally termed as a man's Job. Women riding tricycle, motorcycle, taxi in the name of Uber and even the normal cab taxi, women aren't shying away from that. They have proven what a man can do, a woman can do better. I really want to give it up for the single mothers and widows who has taken up the responsibilities of what husband's are wired to do. I always believe they are roles that comes naturally to a man in a marriage relationship. Roles like leadership, provision, protections and in religion, a priest. Just for easy, if you are in Africa, please marry a man you share the same religious faith with. Gender equality and freedom of right haven't been sealed in Africa  But not with standing, if women wins the battle of taking over the role of a man in ...

 Health is the state of physical, mental and social well being not just the absence of disease or infirmities (WHO). Today we are going to discuss social well being as an aspect of health and see possible practice to make it stay healthy.   Unlike other certificate, marriage certificate is given on the first day of the marriage. Why is that so? I believe the concept of marriage is not something one most acquire years of knowledge on before engaging in one, it's like learning on the Job. One don't stop learning in the marriage institution, therefore, a certificate is awarded on the first day of marriage. Economics already believe human needs are insatiable which means  it is difficult to satisfy humans in all accept. You might be good in bed yet she believes you aren't good enough, you could understand her love language and you are not giving much. One keeps learning about there relationship or marriages; so don't feel embarrassed if you are not getting your relationship...

 One of the common symptom of major ailment including the nobel covid-19 is flu. Sneezing and running nose mucus and sometimes the cough of mucus is common to flu.  Steam therapy do not completely help kill the germs (virus or microorganism) that cause the flu, but give relief and help the body heal faster. Steam therapy also called steam inhaling is simply done by boil hot water, place the water in a bow and cover ones head with a towel to the boiled water. One should  go atleast 8 -12 inches close to the hot water in other to inhale the steam. One also needs to be extra careful while doing it to avoid the hot water spilling on ones body. This could lead to hot water bath burn. It is advised to supervise children to avoid burn from the process. One could inhale the steam for 2 to 3 minutes but maximally, 15 minutes of steam inhaling is enough. They are other gases one inhales in African Traditional medicine (ATM). Hope we still remember the cough therapy  cough in a...

 The 2019 coronavirus is a RNA virus which possess the ability to mutate and change its form. Covid-19 mutation has occurred and it is leading to a second wave. Despite the progress in covid-19 vaccine although there were few case of those who are allergic to the vaccine, the COVID has reappeared in a new form, causing the UK to close its borders to neighboring European countries. The new coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory syndrome of Coronavirus) is shown to be more deadly and life threaten to human existence than COVID-19. Normally viral mutation always lead to a weaker virus and slightly different from the previous one but this is different. Leaving one to study the behavior of this mutated virus. One is concerned if it could reinfect those who were former victims of the virus. What does this say about the vaccine, we have had other RNA diseases such as measles which vaccine had protected individuals for years despite the mutation of the virus. We believe the mutat...

 Since the out break of the pandemic, research has been ongoing in finding a vaccine for the deadly covid-19 virus. Since January, testing had been carried out but vitro and clinical trials started in March. And we are about to see the final testing. Pfizer covid-19 vaccine which is one of the vaccines has already been approve by the UK and it's awaiting approval by the FDA. Pfizer is one of the leading pharmaceutical company which vaccine is approved and it is being administered in the UK as we speak. The order of the vaccination would be the front line health workers, the elderly who happened to be more vulnerable to the disease and others. There was one health policy by the Obama administration that allows a micro-chip to be planted into humans to gain access to medical care as soon as it is scanned. Many of the people resisted it, they believed it could be a mark predicted in the Bible (The mark of the beast 666). There is a movement most of the democratic leaders like Obama, B...

The ear is one of the most important sense organs of the human body and could be very inconvenient if one gets really troubled with it. The ear is divided into three parts: the outer part, middle and the inner part. The pressure between the out and the inner ears must be balance to cause inconveniences. Ear Barotrauma is a disturbance experience especially when one boards the airplane. It might not be that common but to a certain percentage, it disturbs the ear drum. It occur when there is a change in pressure when one is in the air or water. It is commonly experience during scuba diving in water or in the  airplane when one  ascend or descend the air.   This is different from ear tinnitus which is a symptom of some underlying disease, this could be controlled by little exercise before boarding the airplane or scuba diving. One can decide to chew gum or chew as one enters the environment that changes the pressure between the outer and the inner part of the ears. It usuall...

In our part of the world, reproduction or inability to conceive is always blamed on the female but it's worthy of note that it's a mutual responsibility and shouldn't be tilt to a particular gender.  The semen is a white (graylike) substance which carries the spermatozoa (sperm cells). And keep them alive (some say 5 days when released to the female reproductive track) till it fertilizer an ovum. It takes one (1) sperm cell to fertility one ovum (egg) in order to conceive; notwithstanding the body produces millions of sperm cells in a day, it produces 1,500 sperm cells in a second. When one ejaculate semens, the body releases 20-300 million sperm cells in one ejaculation. Only one is needed to fertilize an ovum. These sperm cells produced daily, need days to mature to spermatozoa. Matured spermatozoa have a head, that contains the genetic part of the male. The conception of a male or female child is a function of the X and Y chromosome from the male spermatozoa and fe...
