Hot Tea: Nigeria to Witness A Lunar Eclipse This Month

I can still vividly remember the very first time I experienced a Lunar Eclipse in Nigeria. I was a bit younger at the time but not too young to have a boyfriend. I literally began to confess all my sins thinking the world was about to come to an end and I certainly didn't want to go to hell.

Well, according to The National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), on the 28th of September, there will be a Lunar Eclipse in Nigeria.

A Lunar eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when the earth comes in-between the sun and the moon, and the earth casts its shadow on the moon, so that the moon appears reddish.

According to a statement signed by NASRDA’S Deputy Director, Media and Corporate Communication, Mr. Felix Ale, in Abuja, the lunar eclipse would begin on Monday the 28th of September from 1:11 am, and will be at its Maximum by 3:47 am while it is expected to reach its final contacts at 6:22 am.

“The lunar eclipse, which is also called the blood moon, will be observed in some regions around the world".

Nigerians have been advised not to panic, and to go about their normal activities as it is just an astronomical event which will last for 5 hours, 11 minutes.

“Some of the regions seeing at least some parts of the eclipse include, Europe, South/East Asia, Africa, much of North America, much of South America, Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, Arctic and Antarctica”, the statement read.

The agency also said the eclipse will be viewed in less clouded locations in Nigeria.

“Furthermore, the lunar eclipse will be visible in Abuja, and would begin from 1:11am, with total eclipse at 3:47am, and end by 6:22am..

Random Musings: Clearly I Am Not Just A Fat Ass

Lately I find myself listening to different genres of music. From rock, pop, country, jazz and and and. So I have just being a music whore trying to find the one I'm most comfortable with. Of all the genres of music I have been experimenting lately, Soul tops my list. Now Soul is believed to be music for only mature minds, whatever that means! I have even been told that you need to be of a certain age group to understand the message that lies in soul music. Honestly, I couldn't disagree more.

So What If I've Had 20 Exes?

This might be another very controversial article that I get to post on my blog weekly. This is because every now and then I get to meet very interesting people and I am constantly reminded that we view life differently. Before I continue, I'll advise only 25s and above to read this. I believe this age range can relate with this topic appropriately. However, I'm open to contrary views.
