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..

Venting Tuesday : Convo With A Scammer

When will these scammers learn? Yes, scammers!!! Ever got a text message from a weird number telling you you have just won a large sum of money courtesy a popular brand? Or, perhaps, a strange phone-call from 'a long lost relative, friend, old school mate' and everything in between telling you how much he/she has missed you and would love to see you again after so many years ...blah-blah-blah Apparently, those examples I gave fall under the electronic type of duping (scam), other types of the electronic duping include email advanced fees, plishing . The face to face duping is another type of scam. Here, the fraudsters come to their victim in person, inviting them to participate in a too good to be true deal. They tell the victim he need not worry about money anymore because the deal they are offering will save him from being financially handicap for life.

"Responsibility is the only solution to the war that is ongoing around the world. We all have to be responsible for one another most especially with our giving. When you give, you're automatically saying no to poverty and if poverty is eradicated from the land no one will think of going to blow him or herself up for a cup of rice. I plead with you leaders of churches, I want you to please teach the true doctrine of love not how to benefit church only, but also outer world. How will you preach Jesus Christ, the prince of peace when the environment of the church you reside is without peace?

Game or Simply Lame

I was having one of my chitchat moments with a close friend and the topic 'Standards' was raised. It was then I realized that many dating couples have too high standards they expect of each other thus many single people or broken marriages. Everyone has standards,they keeps us motivated to do our best, but often times these standards cause undue stress. Some often impose their standards on their loved ones; this is a new source of stress and frustration for partners who feel they cannot meet these expectations. I'm not saying standards are not good or unhealthy in relationship, I only think it shouldn't determine how much or how far the relationship should go. It also shouldn't be a criterium to determine if the relationship will lead to marriage but then again who is to blame? The partner with unattainable standards or the one who isn't truthful to him or herself and believes these standards can be reached.
