For her 30th birthday, Kemi, who is a mum got matching outfits for herself and her daughter, Nicole.She also included her daughter’s best friend, the doll as she was pretty in pink as well .
A happy woman, Kaojo, took to her page to share her awesome testimony. According to her, she was 'barren' for 19 years and in the midst of it all, she had 9 miscarriages and 4 IVFs. But she finally conceived naturally and gave to a beautiful baby girl.
Read the interesting story she shared below:
"Forever my praises shall be heard in at the nooks and crannies of the world for what the most high God has done. Just like Anna, he took my reproach away and gave me joy everlasting. I have search through eternity but they is no one I can compare with this God who makes impossible situation possible.
My God who made a barren woman of 19 year sing for joy of motherhood after 9 miscarriages, 4 IVF but then gave a child naturally at the time i least expected. E ba mi pe oruko re, emi ni tin je emi ni. The one who promises and fulfills it at his own time. What can I say or how can I explain or describe this God. God your praises will always be heard from my abode. Yahweh the miracle working God.
I bless your name for who you are. No matter what we might be going through know that God is in the midst of it. He might be silence but definitely working on your situation and at its own appointed time he would show forth for the glory of his name."
truly our God is awesome nothing is impossible for him to do.
So you’ve found the one? The yin to your yang; the beginning to your end; the sun to your moon; the woman of your dreams! And now you’re ready to pop the question, but first: the ring.
For some men, buying jewelry for their special someone can be a confusing and daunting task, whereas others seem to do it with ease and excitement. I’ve known both types, but if
you’re the former and don’t know where to begin, have no fear! You’re in the right place.
Your Budget
Although buying an engagement ring is not going to be cheap, the age-old three-month salary rule is long gone and shouldn’t even be considered. In reality, you should only spend what you can afford and are comfortable with, which is why you need to be honest with yourself before heading out to the jewelry store. That way you won’t feel as pressured to spend more than what makes financial sense for you and your lifestyle. There are a few different features to consider that can fit into your budget without compromising on style, so don’t be afraid to be upfront with the jeweler either, so they understand exactly what you’re looking for.
The Jeweler
There are a lot of different jewelry stores to choose from, but unfortunately not all of them are reputable. To avoid getting ripped off, make sure you consider their certification and credentials. It doesn’t hurt to do some research either. Talk to any friends or co-workers who have experience engagement ring shopping, and take the time to read online reviews and Better Business Bureau ratings before going in-store. When you do find a jeweler you’re considering buying from, you should ask that they provide you with the American Gemological Society or Gemological Institute of America certification with the diamond, as these certifications are the highest standards for gemstones.
Her Style
Chances are if you’ve reached that phase in your relationship that you are ready to propose, she might be thinking about it, too, and probably already has an idea of what kind of ring she would want. Every woman has her own style, and just like with handbags or shoes, there are a lot of different styles of engagement rings. To get an idea of what her style is, take a look inside her jewelry box, browse her Pinterest boards, or even talk to her friends. She might have even pointed out a ring or two, which will make this process even easier for you.
Diamond Shape
If you have an idea of what her jewelry style is, you might know what shape diamond she would prefer. There are a few options to choose from, with the most popular ones being round cuts. The other two most popular cuts are cushion cuts (with rounded corners and larger facts) and princess cuts (square or rectangular). Other shapes include pear, oval, and even heart shapes.
The Four C’s
There are four things to take into consideration when it comes to selecting the right diamond: cut, color, clarity, and carat. These are known as the “four C’s” and determine the cost and quality of the diamond. Therefore, there’s a balancing act between the four C’s that can help you find the perfect stone that fits your budget.
Cut
A lot of experts suggest that you never compromise on the cut, because the cut defines how well a diamond sparkles! Surprisingly, cut doesn’t refer to the shape, but the angles and proportions of the diamond. If it’s well cut, it will reflect light in a way that makes it sparkle. If a diamond is cut too deep or too shallow, the light won’t shine through the top of the stone but the sides, which gives poorly cut diamonds that flat and blah appearance.
Color
Believe it or not, diamonds come in various colors. Although the color doesn’t determine whether it’s of good quality or not, it does affect the cost. Colorless diamonds are more rare, and therefore more expensive, whereas canary yellow or brown tinted diamonds are not as rare and therefore not as expensive. If you’re looking to do that balancing act with the four C’s to fit your budget, this is the area to do it in.
Clarity
Clarity grades are based on any flaws present in the diamond. The fewer imperfections, the more clear and expensive it is. Having a flawless diamond might sound like something that’s necessary, but if you’re working with a tight budget, you can rest easy knowing a diamond that has internal flaws isn’t noticeable to the naked eye.
Carat
This refers to the weight of the diamond, and for a lot of ladies, bigger is better. In fact, even the experts say so, especially when it’s going to be worn every day. Fortunately, you can compromise clarity and even color to get the carat size you want.
The Setting
The setting refers to how the diamond sits on the ring. The most popular settings are the Tiffany (prongs), the bezel setting (diamond entirely surrounded by metal) and the Pave’ (diamonds clustered together). If you’re working with a small budget, consider going for a smaller stone surrounded by a set of smaller diamonds, known as a halo setting. This can make it look bigger and more brilliant!
The Band
Again, you should have an idea of what type of band to get just by looking at what kind of jewelry your girlfriend already owns or even by asking her friends. When it comes to selecting a precious metal, you can choose from platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. Right now platinum and white gold are the most popular choices. Although these two metals look very similar, platinum costs twice as much and is more durable than white gold. Some women still prefer yellow gold though, so be sure to figure out what your girlfriend prefers.
Her Ring Size
Even with her cooperation and working with a professional, it can be tricky to determine what her ring size is. The most common women’s ring size is a 6 to a 6.5. One way to get around this is to take a ring from her jewelry box (one you know fits her well) and take it to a jeweler to get sized. You can also ask one of her friends or family members if they happen to know her ring size, or if they could find out, perhaps by going out shopping for fun and having their fingers sized together, then reporting back to you. If you need to, you can have the ring resized. Just remember, it’s easier to size down than up, so a little bigger is better than too small. However, if it’s a customized ring, you’re better off taking her in to get her ring sized properly.
Your Investment
After all of that, it would be awful if something happened to the engagement ring you picked out for her. It’s always a good idea to get insurance for the ring in case it ever gets lost, stolen or damaged. There are a few options when choosing insurance, such as replacement insurance policy through the jeweler or adding it to your home or rental insurance.

Happy Valentines day everybody, wondering how to make today extra special for the one you love. Ponder no more, here are tips on how to show some extra love to your special one:
1 - Breakfast in Bed Waking up to delicious and sweet-smelling food right next to you. Who wouldn't love that? That's definitely a major key to kicking off 2 - Dinner for Two
Now this doesn't mean that one person will slave in the kitchen while the other is somewhere else with legs crossed. You both should cook up your favourite meals together. Playing games and gisting while at it will not only make this really special but also romantic, don’t you think?
You could even go chef mode and come up with a three-course meal that includes some delicious appetizer (preferably some American Honey flavoured Vanilla and chocolate cake), a main course and some American Honey flavoured ice-cream for dessert.
3 - Movie or Game Night
Why not stay home, play video games or watch scary movies that will get you all excited with goosebumps. That's a smart, free pass to getting cuddles all night long while munching on sweet treats like popcorn, drinks or chowing down good food.
4 - Picnic
Dining out on Valentine’s Day might be very expensive and uncomfortable with crowding thanks to every Tunde, Emeka and Ali who only deem it fit to take out girlfriends and fiancees on February 14.
Picnics are more spontaneous, intimate and romantic depending on what you and bae decide to put on your to-do list.
5 - Go Karting
Why not think out of the box and go karting? A little competition never hurt anyone.
But most importantly remember love is a beautiful thing, therefore it should not be shown just once a year, but rather every day of the year. Have a good one.

Modern Nigeria includes several ethnic groups with their own language, religion and traditions. One of them is ethnic group, which lives in the western part of the country - Yoruba.
Actually, the marriage ceremony is very alike Western wedding, but the dress is very traditional and interesting. Women wearing bright color screwed bandanna, men, mostly dressed in white. The bride should change the dress at least three times during a night.
The Yoruba culture is very traditional, colorful and bright. Yoruba people combine in a clever way two contrary characteristics: they are contemporary and highly cosmopolitan on the one hand and keep up old traditions on the other hand. They make very smart integration of modern fashion and way of life with traditional marriage ceremonies.

Yoruba traditional wedding attire
Yoruba traditional attire is a bright example how old traditions are reflected in the contemporary wedding ceremony. A usual Yoruba weddings starts from choice of the traditional fabric Aso-Oke that will be used for future Yoruba traditional marriage attire. This ceremonial cloth by the way is the most used for different events: birthdays, engagements, weddings, naming ceremony, chieftaincy ceremony and other celebrations. Aso-Oke used for production of Yoruba native attire woven in a manual way from 100% natural materials, threads are made of saturated handmade dye or cotton. The process of production of the material is the same as it was before the technologies came.
Traditional Aso-Oke has 3 main colors: beige with strips (Sanyan), deep blue (Etu) and rich red (Al’aari). Contemporary Aso-Oke can be various colors and can satisfy every taste, and fit every budget. The other variant can be even with embroidery lace. This fabric will be used for making Yoruba wedding attire that consists of four pieces.

Yoruba male attire:
Agbada: a cloth with two layers made of weighty material like Aso-Oke, possible materials are: thick cotton, damask, lace or Ankara. Very big abounding garment covers the body from the neck to ankle and from the one wrist to the opposite. It is very important to choose the right color, which will serve as a foil for the beauty of the whole attire.
Buba: not tight and broad top with long sleeves broaden out to the wrist. This knee-length garment is shortened and a bit tinier in size than the Agbada.
Sokoto: a spacious piece of clothing looks like pair of trousers with flexible band or strand to tie it at the waist.
Fila: a canonic hat without which Yoruba attire for groom is not accomplished.

The things you should not do under any circumstances:
How to make a man marry you in 30 days? - Top 5 tricks
1. Do not tell the man that you are hurt, do not admonish him for the fact that h makes you waste time in vain and fools you. You decided to be with him – it is only your choice. Take responsibility for your own actions.
2. You refer him to a psychologist to discuss his fear of commitment. Men are able to make commitments well, if they love their women, and women follow the ‘rules’ (which we are telling right now). But if the woman is chasing a man herself, if she is too available, if a man is not in love, then a real phobia immediately arises. Men say: ‘I find it hard to reconcile with the concept of marriage’ - or talk about the divorce statistics.

3. Do not allow a man to convince you that the marriage is not important – ‘it's just a simple document’, it is just important to be together. If he does not want to get married, then he does not love you. Or his love is not what you need. If a man does not want to get married, then he still wants to find someone else!
4. Do not allow a man to convince you that, because he has already been married, he cannot marry again, you have to give him time to recover from his ex-wife.
5. Do not allow a man, with whom you have been dating for a long time, to persuade you to wait until everything ‘calms down’ at work, financial problems will be solved or something else will happen. This is an unacceptable reason. Problems at work and the lack of money will always present. Nothing should stop a man to marry you.
How to make a man marry you in 30 days? - Top 5 tricks
A man who is in love wants to marry his girlfriend and hopes that you will not notice these problems and that you will help him to find a solution. He will still be begging you to marry him. He will fall to one knee and say something like: ‘I know I'm not a millionaire, but I love you and I want to do anything for you’. When a man says, ‘You're too good for me’ - it means ‘I do not want you’.
In general, to get a man to marry you in a reasonable time, you should absolutely refuse to live with him until the engagement and wedding and continue to meet him not more than three times a week, though by this time you are already passionately want to be together all the time.
If it happens so, that a man does not want to do the first step, but does not allow doing it for him – the task of the intelligent woman is to lead him to ‘the right way’. It will seem that the decision about marriage was taken by a man.

This marriage material is really precious, but you should think twice before using it. Would you like to live the whole life knowing that you’ve made him marry you? That it was not his decision? You deserve a real marriage proposal and a man who dreams about it!
