Meal times Great times.

By -
There are ways to dwell in unity ,love ,understanding with members of your family. The simplest is sharing a meal. This helps in cementing family relationships.

Its always difficult to gather members of my family to eat together especially with the hustle and bustle at these present times. Most times,everyone wants to eat in their rooms or in front of the television. At times,due to the fact,that I feels skipping meals will help in weight reduction, I skips the meal. 

Meal times afford you time to bond with members of your family and gives everyone a sense of security and belonging. They are great times to relax and enjoy the pleasures of eating together. People eat more balanced meals and a variety of food if they eat with family and friends. As a result of this,eating disorders are kept at bay.

Children also open up at meal times. They will also learn social and interactive skills. Talking to children at meal times are great ways to build their trust. It binds families together as they share the pot. It is a time to praise God together as a family for another opportunity to be together.
Do you and your family and friends eat meals together?

What type of food do we eat to lose weight?

By -
 With a lot of people trying to lose weight in Nigeria,the question I want to ask is what is the best food to eat to lose weight.  We are blessed with a lot of starchy foods-rice,yam,cocoyam,irish potatoes,:let's face it ,we even eat it everyday,in parties,with friends,we even add it to soups. Its not like the soups are fat free. Infact some families I know of always eat soup with garri(prepared from cassava) at least once everyday. With this culture,we need to know what best to eat. The only party I attended that the caterers prepared beans ,was talked about for months for being weird. Loosing weight seems like an expensive venture, with the way and manner we eat. Though it seems easy but it is hard. Most times when watching foreign channels, I really wonder if anything goes into their stomach, the size is just so small and the amount of almost fresh vegetables in it is so much or maybe I am imagining it. So what is the best food to eat and how do we eat them? I need answers,fe

What if my boss is a woman.

By -
Anytime women lead management positions,people wonder if she truly can handle the job. The answer is as simple as yes or no depending on the setting and the if the management is mostly male or female . I have worked for both male and female bosses, both see work, priorities and life differently.Some male bosses act like a female boss would. Most people believe that working with women are hard, but the reality is that women in leadership roles have businesses with the same breakdown as their male counterparts. Working in a women-led office can mean you as an employee have more say in decision-making processes. The fact is women seem to feel threatened by other women in the workplace and can sabotage each other. Women are typically more mentors in female-dominated professions;while men are more commanding in male-dominated profession. Women are slightly more likely to serve as role models, helping employees develop their skills, and motivating them to be dedicated and creative. Wome
