CHECK OUT 9 WAYS TO LOVE YOUR BODY AND WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU
Don’t strive to look like celebrities. They have been airbrushed, primped, and plucked to perfection. Unless you have your own makeup team and can Photoshop the real you, it is a look you won’t achieve.
We all need a little boost now and then when it comes to feeling good about ourselves and about our body image. Here are 10 ways to help you boost that image.
1. Look into the mirror and let go of words like fat, ashy, pale and the like. Just look into your own eyes and see your face. You will see once the judgmental words disappear you are able to see yourself more clearly as the beautiful being that you are.
2. Life is too short; don’t beat yourself up over an occasional junk food binge. It is not worth killing your self-esteem with loathing for eating a plate of nachos for the first time in months.
3. Don’t judge yourself by society’s standards or other people’s standards. Love you for you, not for someone else’s acceptance. If you try and live for other people’s views of how you should be you will never be happy.
4. Starving yourself sucks. Remember that the next time you look in the mirror and contemplate it because you feel fat.
5. Love yourself just the way you are. Draw inspiration from different women who come in different shapes, sizes and skin tones and are beautiful and confident.
6. Don’t strive to look like celebrities. They have been airbrushed, primped, and plucked to perfection. Unless you have your own makeup team and can Photoshop the real you, it is a look you won’t achieve.
7. You are not your weight. How much you weigh shouldn’t define who you are.
8. Draw inspiration from the words of Oscar Wilde: “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance”.
9. Don’t base the confidence you have in your body on men. Have you ever heard of a man walking out of a bedroom when a woman strips down for him? Not likely…
- Remember above all else, confidence is s-exy.

"Senator Yerima and Constitutional Review" - By Maryam Uwais
Once again, Senator Yerima is in the news, claiming Islam as the basis for his argument that a girl automatically transforms into an adult of ‘full age’ once she is married, with the attendant responsibilities that relate to the renunciation of citizenship, irrespective of her age or mental capacity. Because the Senator from Zamfara State has gone public with his personal comprehension of the Shari’a, it has become necessary to respond publicly to his utterances.
ContinueIt should be pointed out, however, that several media reports on the constitutional review debate at the Senate give the impression that underage marriage has been endorsed by the Senate Chambers. Facts are that S.29 of the 1979 Constitution permits a Nigerian citizen of ‘full age’ to renounce his or her citizenship by declaration in a prescribed manner, for which purpose ‘full age’ was stated to be 18 years and above.

BACKWARDNESS: See Senator Ahmed Yerima's Defense For Girl Child Marriage
The former governor of Zamfara State has come under fire from several quarters for being the leading voice that's supporting early girlchild marriage, using religion as excuse. See his defense below:
Nigeria has many uncountable problems and do not require is early marriage. As a matter of fact early marriage is the solution to about half our problems.
"For folks who wonder if I will give my daughter(s) out in marriage at age 9 or 13, I tell you most honestly, I will give her out at age 6 if I want to and its not your business.
"This is because I'm a Muslim and I follow the example of the best of mankind, Muhammad ﺻَﻠَّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻪِ ﻭَﺳَﻠَّﻢَ .
"In Islam, marriage is not only about sex, it is about family and helping each other in achieving their goals, which will be the attainment of Paradise."Do you think it is right for a man to offer a girl below 18years his joystick rather a PEN?
