As news of the controversial law banning same-sex marriage continues to create headlines worldwide after it was signed into law by President Goodluck Jonathan, the renowned spiritual head of the Synagogue church in Lagos, Prophet TB Joshua has spoken out on the contentious issue.

“Judge not, so that you will not be judged,” Joshua began, citing Matthew 7:1 for Scriptural backing. “We should talk to people to be saved and not to die. I mean, we should talk salvation, not condemnation. The Bible is my standard.”

Anti-Black racism from Arabs is nothing new, but anti-Black racism from East and South-East Asians is not what most Nigerians expect. For an Asian to call us "monkeys" is beyond preposterous. For Asians to shout and yell at us, even to the point of physically assaulting a woman in her 40s is unbelievable. As you may be aware, Nigerians thrive on respect, as do Asians. Older people, Asian and African, command respect, yet to my non-Nigerian colleagues this does not translate across nationalities. I see that they have respect for each other, but literally zero, zilch, none, for older Nigerian staff. I know a bit of the language, so I can understand when they are insulting us in our presence, calling us "bastards."

Woman Taking Bubble Bath, Holding Soap Bar

When I amm in the bath or taking shower, I wash my vaginal and anal area with plain fairly warm water first. I wash the entrance of my vaginal area thoroughly with plain water [without sticking my finger inside] and then I wash the region nicely with my favorite mild dove bath cream or Palmolive bath cream and sometimes the soap versions. Whatever I actually do, I constantly make sure not to allow soap enter my vagina and wash it with plain water about 5 seconds after applying the mild soap. When washing the anal area, that you don't need to be concerned about the soap much; you can  just apply it and cleanse it well [not inside of course]. This cleansing process instantly makes my vaginal and anal area feel fresh and clean.
