While virtually everybody would gladly embark on a marital journey, many people sadly do so without any idea on how to manage conflicts. When a man and woman live together in close proximity as is the case in the modern era, CONFLICTS are bound to arise. The way and manner they handle the brouhaha will determine the outcome of the marriage or relationship.

Do they sit down to talk things over, knowing that life is all about give and take? Do they flex their muscles and resort to exchange of blows? The choice is theirs! However when husband and wife fight each other, there is no winner. There are just 2 lousy losers, palpitating towards their precipice unaware of the impending calamity.

No man ever marries a woman so as to batter her to stupor and no woman ever marries a man so as to verbally abuse him to nothingness but along the way things happen and the race to Armageddon commences. But this never happen overnight and that is why it is highly advisable that all marriages and relationships should be equipped with early warning system with detective mechanisms.

Couple who establish clear rules on how to manage their conflicts will continue to re-invent their marital bliss. No matter what, family life must never be allowed to grind to a halt. Even when there is cold war or the rage is livid, both the man and woman must continue to perform their respective duties. Father must not withhold the funds, if he is the breadwinner and the wife must endeavour to serve pudendum no matter the urge to become stingy with it as punitive measures.

It is sad to note that many cohabiting partners now go to the gym to acquire the necessary muscles for a free for all fight between the couple, but is this what marriage is all about? Of what use is it for you to win all the arguments but then lose your spouse?

Marriage can be a very beautiful adventure. But it up to the parties involved to make that happen. If they get things right, they will enthrone a wonderful marital bliss but if they get it wrong, they will experience that hell a person can see before the other one.

Everybody who enjoys a long life will ultimately retire one day from work and it is incumbent on us all to plan towards a befitting retirement and old age era.

While we are still young, we can all dress up and go where we like but a day will come when others will dress us up and take us where we don’t want to go.

In the past, a parent nurtures and brings up a kid with the full realization that the child will in the future return the favor by taking care of the aged parent. But today times have changed and as a person makes his or her bed so shall the person lie on it.

Every wise parent will not want to overburden the child when the chips are down as the journey is made towards the sunset of earthly sojourn.

It therefore pays to make hay while the sun shines. Elderly people who enjoy their retirement era in today’s world are usually the ones that undertake decisive planning in youthful days.

And for those who have been oblivious of this truism today is still time to do the needful as we all journey towards the sunset of life.

It is true that the level of stress plaguing people in today’s world has reached an unprecedented level. The death arising from this ugly reality has reached an alarming crescendo.

Naturally all kinds of technological devices have been developed to make our everyday schedules more manageable but still our lives are as stressed up as anybody can think of.

People that master the art of managing their time effectively will always be a step ahead. Unfortunately this is an area that has been established as a typical person’s Achilles heel. We all love to procrastinate and suddenly it dawns that we are unable to meet up with the daily activities. Panic sets in thus spiraling the stress level out of proportions. So my advice is that we should all plan well. We should learn how to embrace effective time keeping and management. The best type of improvisation can only be achieved with careful planning.

Another important advice is that every person should learn how to listen to his or her own body and take proactive and credible steps to nurture both the mind and body to an optimal level. With the body, what you put in, is what you get out. Eating proper food and balanced meal will go a long way. Getting adequate sleep will do wonders.

Everybody needs to find the best way to unwind and relax. Sadly the only relaxation many people embrace is consumption of too much liquor and fatty cuisines which unfortunately can only offer momentary pleasure but long standing and life changing monumental agony. Diabetes set in, blood pressure shoot up, the liver get messed up. The heart is undermined and the consequent deterioration of health is better left imagined.

Exercise is good and provides a viable way to keep body and soul intact. Everybody should find the type that works. If done well and regularly it reduces the stress level and gets a person better equipped to meet his or her daily challenges.

Africa despite her enormous population is largely a consuming continent. Therefore any policy that is aimed at weaning the populace from the unbecoming consuming appetite will reduce unnecessary capital flight from the continent. The manufacturing sector needs to be rejigged and revived from deep slumber and squalor to usher in a prosperous chapter of self-sufficiency.

There are so much able bodied Africans without any outlet to release their ubiquitous energy. Job creation will work wonders. A person who goes to work to ply his trade or services can only come home tired, thus having no more energy to commit crime or foment mischief. This way a glorious circle of job creation, wealth generation and crime eradication can be attained with the high quality of life and improved living conditions that come with that.

No denying that problems abound all over Africa and we must devise creative ways to solve our problems But I remain ever suspicious of using direct labour approach as a model for rural and urban development. For example, try to fix and tar a road using direct labour and you will discover the effort will be mired in substandard and uneven performance controversies. Workers will be under paid, motivation will be low and the overall delivery will be lackluster because of the obsession to keep cost down.

Malaria is still wrecking havoc all over Africa but eradicating malaria via killing off all mosquitoes will portend disastrous and devastating consequences to mankind. Granted that the Malaria parasite is ferried around by female anopheles mosquitoes but should we kill off all mosquitoes for the acts of a negligible minority? Many people fail to realize that Mosquitoes, like all other life forms, are part of a complex food web. Many fishes feed on mosquito larvae, which are aquatic, and plenty of birds and spiders and other insects feed on the adults. Dragonflies and damselflies love mosquitoes. Frogs eat adult mosquitoes, tadpoles eat the larvae.

The harm caused by the female anopheles mosquito pales into insignificance when juxtaposed with the tremendous benefits that come from all the mosquito species. In the same token, kill off all the bees or even reduce their population and the world will go hungry because there will be nobody to do the cross pollination for crops or produce honey for dietary and medicinal purposes. No matter what anyone feels about the mosquito, kindly note that they also deserve to live and that on this earth, we are all inter-connected.

Nigerians In Diaspora Organization (NIDO) Housing Investment Summit taking place in Lisbon – Portugal from November 9 – 11, 2017 at the Sana Metropolitan Hotel. This investment summit will be taking place simultaneously with the NIDO European Annual General Meeting (AGM). I hope to have the privilege to introduce “VISION 105” to the House via the AGM Committee. Even though local and foreign developers have executed and commissioned numerous construction projects across the country in recent years, the supply of affordable housing remains more than 17 million less of current demand. Just imagine 17 million Nigerians in Diaspora investing 1 Euro a month for one year! From VISION 105 perspective, remittance has a huge role to play in bolstering the real estate market in Nigeria and the time is now.

Emily Blake, professionally trained presenter, plus size model, singer and beauty queen. The current Miss England Curve 2017 is passionate about performing, presenting and helping others reach their full potential.
Emily inspires confidence in men and women through her work and social media presence. She won an award for empowering women and recently won the Curvy Model award at the Afro Model Awards after also winning the title last year along with Best Female Model at the International Achievers Awards in 2016.
Emily received national and international media coverage after winning Miss British Beauty Curve 2014/15 which opened the doors to appearance and modelling opportunities that have since taken Emily to Ibiza, Jamaica and this year, the beautiful island of Madeira.
Showing people that they can achieve their dreams no matter their financial background, heritage or looks is very close to Emily’s heart and she hopes to continue to inspire people, particularly through her own workshops. Emily teaches public speaking in order to boost confidence and holds fun catwalk classes open to everyone to teach modelling and pageant skills but mainly to teach others to learn to love themselves and realise their inner confidence.
