There is a quiet ache that sits in the heart of every community, a pain that is not always spoken but is deeply felt. It’s the ache that comes when those we trust to lead us choose silence over sincerity, pride over humility, and power over presence.

Many leaders find it hard to say, “I was wrong. ...

When something feels off in our families, our instinct is to look for the “problem person.”

Maybe it’s the teenager who’s suddenly become withdrawn and unmotivated or the child who’s having frequent outbursts. Maybe it’s a spouse who seems emotionally unavailable or always angry. We focus on what’s...

When most people think about marriage, they think of love, attraction, and companionship.

They think of laughter, intimacy, shared dreams and sometimes, the picture-perfect wedding. But what many couples don’t realise is that love alone is not enough to sustain a marriage - at least the feelings as...

We often say we’re raising “well-trained” children, but what does that mean?

Is it about how well they sweep the floor, greet elders, or recite memory verses? Or is it about how they make choices, treat others, and carry themselves when no one is watching?

Let’s be honest. In many African homes, ...

There’s a short window between little girl and young woman and in that gap, something sacred happens.

Her voice starts to shift.

Her body begins to change.

Her questions get deeper.

And the world suddenly begins to expect more from her whether she’s ready or not.

So the real question is - what sho...

The wedding is the easy part.

When you’ve spent your entire life dreaming of this moment dressing up in white, walking down the aisle, and stepping into a new season. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement. But what no one tells you is that marr...

We’ve all heard the saying: “It takes a village to raise a child.”

It’s one of those timeless truths that rings especially loud in African cultures, where aunties, uncles, neighbors, teachers, elders, even the market woman can speak into a child’s life.

But lately, we need to ask a harder, more...

Growing up, many of us were raised on the age-old proverb, "Spare the rod and spoil the child." It was not just a saying; it was a parenting philosophy. Discipline meant obedience. Obedience meant respect. And respect was non-negotiable.

But we’re starting to ask: Is the rod still relevant or ar...

Education is not just about imparting knowledge; it is about shaping character, building trust, and fostering a sense of responsibility in students. However, managing classroom behaviour remains one of the most challenging aspects of teaching.

The key to effectively managing students without resortin...

When we think about what shapes a student's behaviour, we often focus on the immediate influences: parents, friends, maybe even the subjects they study. But there’s a powerful, often overlooked factor that plays a massive role in shaping how students act, think, and grow — school culture.

As a teacher, principal, or school executive, you've probably faced the challenge of student misbehaviour more times than you can count. Students acting out in class can be disruptive, frustrating, and, at times, disheartening.

Is it Okay to Yell?
