Morning all! Sometimes we forget that Underwear wearing is a part of Style and Fashion. To help in expanding our knowledge on the importance of wearing neat and accurate sized Underwear we have in the House today - Abimbola Adebisi.   It’s a must read for all, both guys and ladies...... enjoy! Imagine getting up from a chair, only to hear a ripping sound as your skirt or trouser gets torn. Or imagine you are giving the toast for an outdoor garden wedding and a sudden gust of wind lifts up your flared skirt. What would people see? Hmmm-I don’t want to imagine..lol. I remember as a child how my mother would bring out a new set of uniform complete with new underwear and socks anytime I was resuming school for a new term or when going out for a party.   It always felt so good. For me, there’s a certain kind of confidence that wearing beautiful underwear gives but I can’t quite explain. You see a lot of people scarcely spare a thought on their underwear basically because they

I call her bombrix or ghoxy. Back at A.B.U she was called the epitome of beauty. I couldn't lay hold of a picture or else you would have attested to that fact also.   She was born in the early eighties to a wonderful family of 5 who are a mix of urhobo (Delta state) and ogori (kogi state) cultures. She spent most of her life in the Northern part of Nigeria and a little in Lagos. Her secondary school and university education all took place in the north so by virtue of the number of years spent in the North, she says she is a Northerner (wink...) and so proud to be one despite the negative reports heard about the north these days. She met her sweet heart at the university and they courted for five years before tying the knot in November 2009. Since then until now to the glory of God it’s been heaven on earth for them both. You want to know the secret? It's been such a pleasurable ride for them ‘cos they live by the Bible and understand that marriage is what you make

The Great God who will always remain Indescribable! That’s the God I serve! I love the fact that he turns the wisdom of men into total folly. He just does it simply and perfectly, to the amazement of everyone and causing men everywhere to be at a standstill in acknowledgement of a God who has no equal. One who does what no other can do; one who does that which men have termed impossible. A God beyond description! For weeks now I have wondered if of a truth I’m still in Ibadan. Why? “cos the weather has been so different from what is expected of the Western part of the country, it’s been so cold, even to drink garri sef, you will have to think twice, that’s for garri lovers like   me…lol. I have experienced the weather in the Northern part of Nigeria especially during the harmattan and I can tell you it is similar to what we have been experiencing in Ibadan currently.     Well, they say change is a constant thing. I don’t disagree ‘cos this abrupt weather change points o

Hello Everyone, On relationship matters today we have something different but totally interesting and important. I tell you it’s a must read for all, especially for persons with children. Join me as I usher into the house - Atoka Akwitti. Teaching Teens is something I love doing and I look forward to Sundays for that! When people think of teens, they think of them as disrespectful set and rude little things without direction! But I see them as exciting set of vibrant people looking for someone to tell them - in a way that they like 'do this' or 'don't do that'! After Sunday service most times, I usually am in church with the teenagers for an extra hour, maybe two or even three until my husband comes to steal me away. Why? Because there's usually a number of people waiting to be counseled - wanting to tell Aunty Atoka something!  The usual on the list are – I don't like a particular subject, what do I do? Or my aunt that I’m staying with maltreats
