The goal of a health communication intervention programme is to engender behaviour change in a population by informing and educating people about a health problem of concern which enables them to act appropriately protecting themselves and accessing health care services when the need arises.

Sweet Palm Wine
https://okadabooks.com/book/about/sweet_palm_wine/19047
West Africans will continue to tell tales of
slave trade for many generations to come. As West Africans waded through life in the era of slave trade,
evading abductors was priority for Africans that lived in endemic areas. This
challenge did not spare them from other challenges life threw at them as West Africans
plied for livelihood in unforgiving conditions. Issues such as poverty, absence
of roads, absence of schools, lack of power, lack of hospitals and poor farming
tools further exacerbated the journey of life for many West Africans.

Kristine's Lodge
https://okadabooks.com/book/about/kristines_lodge/18699
In the fast-paced world of Fashion, many Models get
carried away with the exquisite and luxurious lifestyles that come naturally.
It may be difficult to exercise control over a lifestyle which has the human
body an integral commodity. It is burdensome to tend to the human body in order
to maintain constant physiological features overtime. The discipline and amount
of attention required leaves very little time for so many other equally
important aspects of life.
Kristine’s Lodge is a captivating story about five
female friends and their adventures together in a closely knitted world of
Fashion and Investment. They eventually received an education on career advancement
which led to self-discovery.

Conquering the Sahara
Whenever
the subject of African development is brought up, a passionate few are quick to
name past heroes that promoted the subject. Well, it is time for all Africans to draw from whatever lessons
these heroes bequeathed to us, and build on them in our various spheres of
influence. Heroes are not only confined to history.
All
Africans should be advocates of pan-Africanism. It is regrettable that we have
divided ancestral family members and aggregated ourselves rather selfishly
within imaginary boundaries of sovereignty, and in some cases, based on foreign
prescriptions. These boundaries have instilled in us ideas of greed,
intolerance, and resentment.

Awakening Marital Joy
Mr.
and Mrs. Desmond were a lovely couple. They had paid their dues through work
life and had risen professionally to the peak of their careers. Parenthood was quite
successful because the two daughters they have were almost through with
university education. However, home had become a regimented routine of early
dash-outs to work, late arrivals, frequent travels, light meals, almost no
television, brief conversations, and little sleep.
After
years of slowly grinding their used-to-be romantic love life into a mechanical
and fractious cohabitation, sex had become quite alien to them and they were
growing used to not having regular passionate sex. Though in her mid-forties,
Mrs. Desmond was still attractive with firm skin and a frame that mirrored her
youthful self.

Explore Humanity: Influence, Network, and Partner
The modern professional or career worker needs to make
him or herself a distinguished tool for integration whether in the workplace,
social, or family circles. This is because it is important for every human
being to imbibe some management skills to function efficiently through life.
Management skills are no longer a skill set for managers alone but for every
human being who can access knowledge. It is often said that good leaders make
good managers but not all good managers make good leaders. This means leadership
and management can be separated. While many of us may not have the opportunity
for leadership, we all need to learn to be good managers. If for nothing else,
it is important for us to manage our lives well.Friday, 10 November 2017
The Human Commodity
![]() |
Three gentlemen,
smartly dressed in black suits and sunglasses, came upon a house. It was a
three bedroom bungalow. The house was in the middle of a paved compound and was
fenced with brick walls. The house looked abandoned, spooky, and puzzling. They
walked around the house taking notes and making references. When they got to
the back, three old metal cabinets stood abandoned with a litter of paper lying
around them. They thought little of the litter and moved on. Having gone round
the house, they stopped at the front door which was ajar and one of them knocked.

The Sanctity of Human Life
It
normally takes at least 9 months to cultivate human life through processes
peripherally explained by science. Inherent in the process, are deep mysteries
that manifest in various ways and continue to leave human kind with more
questions. In this whole drama of cultivating life, especially human life,
several still ask “when does life truly begin?”

The God Factor of Love
When you look at a mirror what do you
see? An image of yourself, isn’t it? But who are you exactly? Have you ever sat
down to have some alone time about who you really are? If someone walked up to you
and asked you to name five things that define you uniquely, what would you say?
How long would you have thought about them? Would any of them have anything to
do with love?
I think something common to all of us
is love. We all know what love is, and we feel it when it is experienced. Pure
love is unconditional and can be perceived even without action. Now, is there
usually an intention behind love?

The Long Trek
As dawn broke, he awakened with a heightened level of anxiety. He had trekked several kilometres from a village close to Abuja; the last village a truck had volunteered to drop him. He was seeking the place he believed was his destiny to find. He got up, and rolled up his sleeping baggage; a set of very old blankets he had grabbed from what was left on the bed he slept on for years. He went to a nearby tap and washed his face and rinsed his mouth, after which, it was time to begin a series of actions he had set up to achieve by the grace of God. It didn’t take long before he was noticed. A dissident loitering a few
metres away from an Embassy was always going to draw some attention.

The Fruit of the Womb
From
the womb of emptiness and nothingness, phenomena beyond human comprehension
sparked life. A Supreme Being designed and executed a plan that will continue
to remain a mystery even to the best scientists; the creation of space, matter,
and time. Did this Supreme Being remodel the earth and put life on it? Are we
alone? Did this Supreme Being also create the entire multiverse as we know it
from NASA? The human mind cannot execute
thought processes beyond the capacity prescribed for it from the beginning. We cannot
truly comprehend the magnitude of all the elements contained alongside us in
space. But we can control what to believe and how to live.
