  • The Inspiring Story of 3 Chibok Girls Who Escaped Boko Haram Captivity

    They look just like the average teenagers, happy and in school. But their smiles now do not reflect the harrowing and near death experience they faced over a year ago when they were kidnapped along with over a hundred girls from their school in Borno state.

    Mercy, Sarah and Dolapo are survivors from the Boko Haram Chibok kidnapping.

    By a streak of luck, a few dozen of the kidnapped girls managed to escape. Yet, more than 200 remain missing till date.

    Now, thanks to a nonprofit group in Virginia, USA, The Jubilee Campaign, and activists from Nigeria, the girls are living and schooling in Oregon, USA. Coming from a deeply poor, rural village in Borno state with no Internet access to the Canyonville Christian Academy, a cozy boarding school with students from more than a dozen countries, you can say their destinies have greatly changed.

    I read their interview on Cosmopolitan today and it warmed my heart. They are brave, yes, very brave, to risk losing their lives when they ran out of their captivity in the forest.

    Here is a touching excerpt:

    There are rough moments too. “They’re teenage girls. They miss their moms and their families,” says Roome. “They want to go home for the summer, but it’s too dangerous. They have nightmares. They are terrified that Boko Haram will burn the school down. Sometimes they want to sleep with the lights on. They say, ‘But it’s so black. It’s so black.’ I tell them, ‘They are not coming for you.’”

    They’ve been through so much, lost their loved ones, separated from their family… and now, here they are, pretty and smiling.

    So inspiring!

  • Facts You Should Know About The Sexual Offences Bill

    Last month, the Nigerian Senate passed the Sexual Offences Bill, and I was so glad when I read the provisions of the bill and how it protects the girl child.

    Sponsored by Senator Chris Anyanwu, the bill among other things covers punishments for offences such as gang rape, lacing drinks with drugs with intent to sexually abuse, deliberately infecting partner with HIV and other diseases, child sex tourism, sexual harassment and prostitution of persons with mental disabilities.

    However, since the passing of the bill there has been a controversy over a provision of the bill which some people have interpreted as saying it is  lawful for children between between the ages of 11 and 18 to be defiled. But as it is sometimes with the passing of information, perhaps the full provisions of the law were not passed when such news hit the press.

    This is the part that generated some controversy:

     “A person who commits an offence of defilement with a child aged eleven years or less shall upon conviction be sentenced to imprisonment”.

    And so, some people started asking about the provisions of the bill for children aged between eleven and eighteen.

    I just read the document and it does make provisions for children up to eighteen years with punishment for the offenders. Here is a screenshot of the bill which I found here: http://www.nass.gov.ng/document/download/1347sexual offences bill
    Also, its great to know that among other bills recently signed into law by the 7th Senate before it was dismissed was the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Bill. This bill prohibits female circumcision, forceful ejection from home and harmful widowhood practices.

    I’m glad we are moving in the right direction with the necessary laws to protect our children and those who cannot protect themselves.

  • How To Make Coconut Oil Lip Balm

    Hi dearies,

    When it comes to beauty products, sometimes, natural and home made stuff are just the best.

    As ladies, the first step to taking good care of our lips is by giving it the moisture it deserves. I recently saw this video by Buzzfeed on how to make your own lip balm, and believe me, its straight forward and very easy to make.  I particularly like the fact that the texture is creamy, it is 100% natural and doesn’t contain any thing harmful.

    This homemade balm is designed to help seal in moisture and not just dry up and off, but actually sink into your lips. You’d need the following ingredients:

    • Coconut Oil
    • BeesWax
    • Honey
    • Vitamin E
    • Vanilla Extract (Optional)
    • Essential Oil (Optional)
    • Preferred Container(s)

    How To Make It
    1. First you grate the beeswax and pop it in the oven to melt down to liquid form.
    2. After this you take it out of the oven and add the other ingredients to the melted beeswax. Then mix it together till you have a smooth paste and place it back in the oven.
    3. Be sure to check it at 30-second intervals and mix it til its completely melted.
    4. Take it out of the oven and pour into the preferred containers and let set until solid.
