Daniel’s journey back home on Saturday was smooth and fun-filled. He had his children and lovely wife in the car, thus, they chatted and cracked jokes. They had gone to attend a wedding in Ibadan and looked forward to being home in Lekki, Lagos in about one and a half hours. They were already at the popular Redemption Camp in Mowe, Ogun State when the rain started. For someone driving a relatively new saloon car, Daniel foresaw no trouble. Even when the rain was becoming heavy, Daniel was confident they would be home in record time. And given the intensity of the rain, he had to drive at snail speed. But as they got to Ozumba Mbadiwe Street in Victoria Island, Daniel ran into troubled waters. He kept driving until he made it to the Lekki-Epe Expressway where his car stopped working suddenly. He recalled, “I thought we could go through it till we would be home, but the rain didn’t subside. The flood was much, especially when we got to the Lekki- Epe Expressway. At that time, s

Men who have sex with women seem to have a certain fascination with women’s breasts. Perhaps that is why the female chest is ever on display everywhere — from restaurants to nudist magazines, to beer or car advertisements. Writing in peer-reviewed journal, The Psychology of Sex, Dr. Justin Lehmiller, suggests that there is an evolutionary basis for male’s fascination by female breasts. Tracing it back to human evolution, Lehmiller proposes that female breasts only became a significant factor in attraction when human beings started walking upright. Before we started walking on two legs, the biggest source of visual excitement for men was the female buttocks, he proffers. “However, when we stood up, the buttocks were no longer as prominently displayed. As a result, the thought is that the breasts became bigger and more pendulous in order to mimic the visual appeal of the buttocks,” he says. Another theory has it that men had developed a preference for breasts because stim

Regardless of complexion, belief and even race, one could safely assume that human beings’ response or behaviour when in a sensual mood is almost the same and the feeling unrivalled by any other human activity. And coupled with the numerous hormones released into the body at that moment, it explains why some people lose composure, some could be shaking, some skip breadth and in some cases, the heartbeat shoots up rapidly. It is out of this gripping excitement and ecstasy that people do whatever crosses their mind to have that needed satisfaction. And in certain instances, they abandon the normal s*xual intercourse to explore other ways, all in a bid to reach that needed destination. Perhaps, exploring other options is in tandem with a famous quote by one of the most popular poets in the 17th century, William Cowper, who said, “Variety is the very spice of life that gives it all its flavour.” The things people do include oral s*x, anal s*x, masturbation, watching pornograp

Having white teeth seems to be the silent desire of many people. Even though yellow or brown teeth do not necessarily connote poor oral hygiene, people have always craved having them white at whatever cost, and the fact that it influences their self esteem makes it all the more important. This, perhaps, underscores the reason some people with coloured teeth find it difficult to be part of public discussions, especially when it is a roundtable discourse, and it determines how much they can laugh at such events. A survey carried out by Statistic Brain, a research company in the United States, showed that in 2015 alone, people spent a whopping $11bn (N4tn) on teeth whitening, including $1.4bn (N511bn) on teeth whitening products, which further demonstrate the attention people pay to having white teeth. The survey revealed that at least, 32 per cent are concerned with the look of their teeth, while others have accepted ‘fate’. Also, 18 per cent say they usually conceal their
