Interview with Itohan Eghide

There is nothing as splendid as meeting and talking to a woman with powerful innovative ideas.
Itohan is not an exemption. I did this interview with her while she was on holiday at Port Harcourt. Enjoy!

1. There are a lot of men and women I’ve seen around the world who seem to have almost given up on the opposite sex .You get these bitter jokes and angry comments. The men think the women
are gold diggers and not interested in them and rude. The women think the
men are all sexist and they can’t
stand them . What would you say to
those people that have gotten so
frustrated that they ’re almost ready
to give up on the opposite sex?

There is a man for every woman and a woman for every man. I would advise anyone not to give up no matter the circumstance,  because love can happen spontaneously. And when true love happens, one will definitely know that "yes! This is  genuine!"

2. What do you think is the reason why most partners cheat on each other in their relationships?

There is no excuse for cheating. It depends on one's character, which should be checked and changed

3. This question is for  you. As a professional  relationship expert, can you make a perfect home?

Yes! I can, because I have all it takes; God, character, love, etc.

4. Lesbianism and homosexuality is at it's apex in Nigeria and other parts of the world. What do you think is the reason behind these perversive indulgences.

I think modernization has made people too curious, and if one must be on a safer side, one must not try everything. God created intimate love to be shared between a man and a woman, not otherwise.

5. Feminism stresses the importance of equal rights. At first, is it right for a woman to ask a man out?

It is a personal thing. If  someone thinks it can  work for them, sure!
But, I can't imagine myself doing such. It's all a matter of perspective.

6. Most church leaders preach against premature sex and the boy-girl relationship, which is otherwise known as dating or courtship. Can marriages survive without dating?

Dating these days has been painted as 'immoral'. I think courtship without the involvement of lust and sexual inclinations are  important for a successful marriage and to help the parties know each other well.

7. How can a woman put an end to an abusive relationship?

The most important thing to do is to be firm in one's decisions. One must also seek assistance from the required authorities.

8. There has been a lot of hear-telling as much as sight-seeing that most Nigerian girls swap sex for cash. Absolutely, they think that is the norm. What do you have to say about that?

I think every woman can work for her money and not being dependent on men who seek to exploit them for a mere plate of food and cash. It shows the extent of how the individual devalues herself. 

9 . In a highly corrupt country like Nigeria, you can hardly find a virgin. Why is being a virgin considered important? A lot of teenagers and adults think that virginity and abstinence shows immaturity and lack of experience, thereby coercing young people to experiment on their bodies. What is your advice for the few virgins out there?

I don't believe you can hardly find a virgin. I know a whole lot. I will  take the Holy Bible to explain. God placed the hymen as a gateway to a woman's body and breaking it involves a blood shed which points to covenant and the  exchange of spirits,  because the woman has been opened up. My advice to virgins is to  keep their virginity because no matter what people say,  God will be proud of you and your reputation will be forever  glorious.

Seen Only When Needed

You asked. I gave what I could. Not everything. Just enough. After that, my messages felt quiet. Not because I stopped, but because you stopped seeing. The space between us grew. No fight. No goodbye. Just distance. I stayed available. You stayed away. I understood without words: people remember you when they need you, then forget when the need is gone. I didn’t hate you. I only learned that timing rules hearts, and silence teaches more than promises. Life moves like this: giving, taking, leaving questions. I stand with mine. If only time could listen.

Interview With Youth Advocate, Comrade Kufre Matthew

Comrade Kufre, thank you for joining us today! As the Chairman of the Nigeria Youth Alternative Council (NYAC), Akwa Ibom chapter, what inspired you to take on this role and dedicate yourself to youth empowerment? Thank you very much. My inspiration comes from my deep concern about the untapped potential of young people in our society. I have seen many youths with ideas, energy, and passion but without proper guidance or platforms to express themselves. Accepting the role of Chairman of NYAC, Akwa Ibom State chapter, was a call to service—to create opportunities, amplify youth voices, and ensure young people are part of decision-making processes that shape their future. You've led initiatives like PVC awareness and voter registration drives. What strategies have you used to encourage young people to participate in democratic processes, and what impact have you seen? We focus on grassroots engagement—meeting young people where they are, both physically and digitally. Through PVC awa...

The Reawakening by Bennie S. Alan

I hope this poem will serve as stairs to the sky. I hope these rhymes will catch your eyes, I hope my hypnotic words will wing you to fly. Fearlessly glitter in the dark and rise! Yesterday, you slayed Like the Cyclops of the Odyssey. The moon is in your eyes, The land of your lineament is rainy, The dark wind has dusted for you, A castle of bewilderment. Dimmed gold of a dog's life, roomed your fate. Stretched to your hand is a tightrope, Of a rebirth of the mighty Phoenix. Dance to the rhythm of new hope. Gloomy days and tears are bounded. Here is the key to the new beginning gate. A painting of a new smile On your fair face. I hope this poem is a kiss of life. I hope this poem brings a new lease on life. Try this time, remembering these words. Try this time, remembering, This is your time and moment. Try this time, remembering, There is a God. Bennie S. Alan is a Liberian writer, musical artist, poet, and storyteller from Monrovia. Inspired by his mother and grandmother, he bega...
