Senami watched as Fadaka changed into an old adire gown, cleaned off her make-up, and removed her jewellery. All Aunty Kike’s instructions. Apparently, the plainer your dressing, the more spiritually connected you become. “If you go in this angry state, you’ll sabotage the prayers,” Senami said in a soft tone. Prayer Saboteur. Fadaka kissed her teeth. One more title for Pseudo Mama to throw in her face. “I’ve told you to please leave me alone.” After covering her hair with a scarf knotted under her hair, Fadaka picked up her overnight bag and moved towards the door. Senami blocked her…

Super Bowl LX is landing at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California this Sunday, 8 February 2026, and it promises everything fans live for — jaw-dropping touchdowns, game-changing plays, and a halftime show you won’t forget. American football isn’t just a sport in the U.S.; it’s a full-blown cultural phenomenon.

One of the first things I noticed while living in Texas was the weather. In Lagos, I never paid attention to the weather forecast. It was either hot or cold, or in between. But in Texas, I had to befriend the weather app on my phone, not just because the weather changes so fast, but because it could be 40 degrees Fahrenheit, yet the app would say it feels like 30 degrees Fahrenheit. There is a world of difference between 40 and 30. The fact that it’s 40 doesn’t change what we feel. The thermostat doesn’t measure how it feels;…

Thyroid disorders affect millions of women worldwide, yet many go undiagnosed for years. Some women experience unexplained weight changes, while others may struggle with persistent fatigue or mood swings. For many, the difficulty in concentrating or changes in their menstrual cycle become the first noticeable sign. Unfortunately, because these symptoms are often dismissed as stress or simply being tired, women are sometimes told to just rest more or to simply manage with the changes. While thyroid conditions are real, they are manageable, and early diagnosis makes all the difference. What is the thyroid and why does it matter? The thyroid…

With Farrell rolling the dice in his selection – dropping James Lowe as well as giving Cian Prendergast a rare start – there were interesting subplots aplenty as the game neared. Such was the nature of the Paris performance, however, that few such themes could be given fair scrutiny. Ireland had picked a team to compete in the air but rarely challenged in that regard with the new-look back three of Jamie Osborne, Tommy O’Brien and Jacob Stockdale largely on the periphery.While the loss of both usual starting props to injury, as well as two back-ups on the loose-head side,…
