On Monday, July 7, 2025 , in the early hours, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin , the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland, passed away at age 90—just two days after his birthday and marking a year since his coronation ( thebossnewspapers.com ). Palace sources have not disclosed the specific cause of death, but given his advanced age, natural age‑related causes are most plausible. 🧬 Likely Physiological Causes For nonagenarians like Oba Olakulehin, the most common contributors to mortality are: Cardiovascular ailments : age‑related decline in arterial health, hypertension, heart failure—all increase appreciably past 80. Neurodegenerative conditions : such as dementia or Alzheimer’s, potentially complicating general health. Immune vulnerability : frailty or acute infections (like pneumonia or influenza) become far more dangerous. Organ degeneration : progressive liver, kidney, and lung deterioration contributes to terminal events. Though no reports suggest a sudden accident or il...

1. Jeff Bezos' Marriage to a Younger Woman Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, became publicly known for dating Lauren Sánchez after his divorce from MacKenzie Scott in 2019. Sánchez is not extremely young compared to Bezos (she's only about 8 years younger), but this high-profile relationship has contributed to ongoing conversations about wealth, power, and age dynamics in relationships. 2. Why the Rich Often Marry the Young This pattern—older wealthy individuals marrying younger partners—has several reasons: Evolutionary & Social Psychology Reproductive viability : Evolutionary theories suggest men may be drawn to younger women due to higher fertility, while women may prefer resource-stable partners. Status and beauty trade-off : In traditional models, wealth and status are exchanged for youth and attractiveness. Power dynamics : Wealth can shift relationship dynamics, making younger partners more likely to defer or rely on older weal...

1. When Skies Turn Silent: Two Incidents, One Thread In June 2025, two high-stakes aviation events unfolded—miles apart but emotionally linked. The first: a devastating crash involving an Air India passenger jet. Investigators swiftly recovered the flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR)—critical tools for reconstructing what went wrong. Families await preliminary findings, expected mid-July (femotech.com.ng). The second: a private jet carrying Nigeria’s FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, suffered an engine failure at 34,000 feet. The plane turned back safely to Port Harcourt. Cockpit audio later revealed Wike’s panicked prayer as pilots fought to stabilize the aircraft (asiwajumedia.com). What ties these two moments together? The answer lies in how we unpack fear, data, and healing—both technical and emotional. 2. The Psychology of Disaster: What Happens Inside Us Terror at Altitude An engine failure mid-flight isn’t just a mechanical issue—it’s a mental rupture. ...

  A bright, white smile is often seen as a symbol of good health and confidence. But how we care for our teeth is an age-old debate—one that goes far beyond the toothbrush aisle. For years, toothpaste has been marketed as the ultimate solution for maintaining a clean, healthy mouth. But what if I told you that something as simple as a natural chewing stick could be just as effective, if not better? Chewing sticks, which have been used for centuries in various cultures, have recently made a comeback as a natural alternative to commercial oral care products. While modern toothpaste comes with promises of fluoride protection and whitening agents, there’s an untold story about the benefits of chewing sticks. Not only do they naturally whiten your teeth, but they also help avoid some of the chemicals and additives commonly found in toothpaste. Let’s explore why you might want to consider making the switch to chewing sticks for your oral health and your smile. Fluoride: Is It Really Nece...

May 1st, recognized globally as International Workers’ Day, is not only a celebration of the victories of labor movements but also a sobering reminder of the struggles that many workers continue to face—especially in economies like Nigeria’s, where inflation, stagnant wages, and rising costs of living significantly affect daily well-being.   A Brief Historical Context Workers’ Day has its roots in the late 19th-century labor movement, particularly the struggle for the 8-hour workday, which originated from protests and labor actions in the U.S. around May 1, 1886. Over time, May 1st became an international symbol of worker solidarity and rights. In Nigeria, Workers’ Day was first officially recognized in 1981 under the administration of President Shehu Shagari. Since then, it has served as a platform to celebrate labor contributions and to demand better working conditions. But in recent years, the celebration has grown more muted. Many Nigerian workers now view the day as a brief re...

 🩺 Health and Age in Church Leadership While theological depth, spiritual leadership, and global diplomacy are central to choosing a new pope, health and age are often quiet factors influencing the decision. With most cardinals eligible for papal election being over 70, the health status of candidates becomes critical —not just for longevity, but for their ability to handle the physical, emotional, and global demands of the papacy. Cardinal Peter Turkson , now 76, is frequently discussed as a possible successor to Pope Francis. Though no public record details any major health issue, his decision to resign as head of a major Vatican department in 2021 sparked conversations about internal politics and possible fatigue—though he publicly cited the end of his term as the reason. 🌍 A Voice for Health and Humanity Turkson has long been a champion of global health and social justice . He’s spoken boldly on: Universal health coverage Equity in vaccine access The moral duty...
