I stayed in Newcastle upon Tyne with my sister, a really beautiful town and serene too. Honestly, 'Oyibo' people are so freaking polite and nice (something we Nigerians  should emulate, shh!). I got to meet and interact with lovely neighbours. Someone would say who polite don epp?!...😂 Anyways, its a really beautiful city, houses like cute cottages😀, like you read in Hansel and Gretel. (hahaha!just kidding!) So, it has 2 big universities- Northumbria university, Newcastle university, so many big shopping malls of course (eg: Metro centre- the biggest shopping mall in England, as they say. The pride of the town!), hospitals (I just have to mention that right!😂 because its like a natural inclination). Well, I saw about 2 or so...really beautiful and so ORDERLY. When would our dear country be like this ehh?...we would get there. Amen!  Other things the town  is known for include: the Quayside, Newcastle Monument, Hadrian wall, Beamish Museum etc. Ps: would put up

Garlic is a natural herb used mainly for food spicing for different local and intercontinental dishes. Garlic is a plant in the Allium (Onion) family closely related to onions, leeks etc... As we all know, it comes in a bulb form with a no of cloves in each single bulb. Garlic contains allicin- this is responsible for the distinct garlic smell... Ok! Enough of the lecturing for now..

I was surprised to note all the medical benefits attached to this single herb. So here they are: 1.  1 ounce or serving of garlic contains a lot of micronutrients

Nigeria's 57th independence celebration. Mixed feelings sure!! Hey guys, it urs sincerely... Hope y'all are good... So to deviate a bit. It was Nigeria's independence @ 57 years of 'freedom' from our colonial masters a few days back. So happy independence day to our beloved Nigerians in arrears!!!... So let's talk about this a little bit. Nigeria claimed its independence in 1960 following an independence movement. Little bit of history... Lagos state  was invaded by British  forces in 1851 and formally annexed in 1861. Nigeria became a British protectorate in 1901. Colonization lasted until 1960, when an independence movement succeeded in gaining Nigeria its independence. Nigeria went on to become a republic  in 1963 with  Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe as the first president. This was  short-lived as She succumbed to military rule three years later after a bloody   coup d'etat and Gen. Aguyi-Ironsi took over power briefly before it was taken from him fo
