When people talk about yams, popular varieties like white yam or water yam often steal the spotlight. But hidden among them is a lesser-known gem called Lesser Yam. Oh, the good old days.When my grandpa would harvest these yams, we didn’t sell them, and we didn’t use them for porridge either. It was either cooked and eaten with palm oil or with vegetables....

Food Poisoning: Causes, Warning Signs, and Care

With what I had been through with eating incompatible food combinations, I do wonder how bad it would be with food poisoning. Some years back, I ate some food that my body reacted to very poorly, mostly because they were incompatible. And many hours later (at midnight), it decided to show itself. I woke up with stomachache and a stomach which was already bloated while sleeping, and a weakness that came from nowhere....

Valentine is more than a date on the calendar. It is more than red roses, soft music, and carefully wrapped gifts. Valentine is a reminder that love is still the most powerful force in the world.

The story of Saint Valentine tells us about courage. He believed so deeply in love that he risked his life to protect it. At a time when love was restricted and controlled, he chose to honor it anyway. That alone tells us something important: love is worth standing for.

But Valentine’s Day is not only about romantic relationships. It is about kindness. It is about checking on a friend who has been silent. It is about forgiving someone you have been holding resentment against. It is about loving yourself when no one else seems to notice your efforts.

In a world where people are quick to judge and slow to understand, choosing love is a revolutionary act. Love is patience when anger feels easier. Love is loyalty when temptation whispers. Love is giving, even when you are not sure you will receive anything in return.

Valentine reminds us that:

♥️ Love is not proven by the size of a gift, but by the depth of sincerity.

♥️ Love is not about perfection, but about commitment.

♥️ Love is not loud all the time. Sometimes it is quiet, steady, and enduring.

If you are in love, cherish it. If you are healing, trust that love will find you again. If you feel alone, remember that you are still worthy of deep and genuine affection.

Let this Valentine be more than celebration. Let it be transformation. Call someone. Apologize. Appreciate. Speak kindly. Start again.

Because at the end of everything, love is what remains. And love, when it is real, never truly fades. ❤️
