Yes o! We men, we love boobs! We love your breasts, ladies out there.  Let me begin by saying that there's a part of the Holy Book which talks about a woman referred to as "the Shulamite Woman," for the simple reason that she came from a place known as 'Shulam.' Interestingly, too, she was a black woman, a Nubian beauty. The Book has a lot to say about the beauty of this woman. I suppose in a later posting I will have to do a more comprehensive write-up on this Woman. But, for now, I'd like to concentrate more on her boobs - - her breasts! Let me give you samples of remarks about her boobs. The first comes from the Woman herself. She says, "A bundle of myrrh (a substance from which perfumes and incense is made) is my [guy] to me; [therefore] he shall lie all night between my [boobs]." The next comment or remark is from her guy. He describes various parts of Her Body in the loftiest of language; then, when he came to talking about her breasts, he sa...

I have always said it, and in the period of over ten years up till this time, that the most beautiful thing God ever made is the  HUMAN BODY.  It’s an amazing specimen of creation, a masterpiece of the Creator’s ingenuity. And, if you ask me, talking specifically of that human body, I would say that the most beautiful specimen (or, is it the  more  beautiful) of that human body is – guess? – yes, the female body! Some years back, the Italian embassy in Nigeria organised a programme in conjunction with an NGO of Nigerian women known as the “Vagina Initiative.”  (I wonder if they are still in existence?) When I read about it in the newspapers, I felt that that was a very  bold  initiative – the  Vagina  Initiative; I felt that Nigerian women were really coming out of their cocoons and were beginning to appreciate their own bodies as God’s masterpiece of creation. And, again, if you ask me, I would say that the most beautiful part of that...

Early detection, experts say, is the first line of defence against breast cancer. One would still remember former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, lost his wife to this scourge some years ago. Sometimes breast cancer starts in as simple a way as to appear like an ‘ordinary’ boil. When not diagnosed early enough and it has the chance to spread and become ‘malignant’ or ‘destructive,’ surgical operation which is also known as ‘mastectomy’ may be the only option left. Having breast cancer in family history, puts another woman in that family in a “high risk group.” Prior to ‘mastectomy,’ chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are also other options in the doctors’ attempt to find a solution. All of these cost a whole lot of money. Sometimes, what looks like a ‘partial’ cure takes place, only for the condition to get worse later on, which may eventually lead to death. The lump that indicates the possibility of a breast cancer case in development, may not even be in the breasts, but ...

Christianity, from the beginning, was NEVER about monogamy; it was about Jesus as Lord and Saviour; not about "marital status," prevailing or INTENDED

UNDERSTANDING THE MENTALITY OF PAUL vis-a-vis MARRIAGE [theme: immortality] Paul was CELIBATE – by choice. He said, in I Corinthians 7:1, “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.” From that scripture, it’s OBVIOUS that the Corinthian church had QUESTIONS about marital issues, and about which they had PREVIOUSLY communicated to Paul in writing. That’s why he could say “Concerning the things [there must have been several things] whereof ye WROTE unto me [so they WROTE to him to ask about those things]: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.” Of course he wasn’t talking of a physical/social “touch” as in a contact of bodies – such as handshake, etc., in our own modern context, for instance, as that would be improbable, impractical and simply impossible. We “touch” each other all the time. He was talking of a MARITAL “touch,” a SEXUAL “touch.” So he says “it is good for a man not to touch a woman.” In other words, IT IS GOO...
