Are Women Truly Weaker Vessels?

Are Women Truly Weaker Vessels?

Opinion
By OREVA GODWIN I know, the first instinct of most of my dearest readers, in reaction to the question of whether women are weaker vessels may be in the affirmative.

Rather, they’ve been programmed to be seen as weak, so they don't rise to compete with men. When did God call women weaker vessels? Never. The Creator has never called them weak. Why?

Southern Solidarity for Tinubu: Which South, What Solidarity?

Southern Solidarity for Tinubu: Which South, What Solidarity?

Opinion, Politics
By IKECHUKWU AMAECHI One of the absurdities of Nigeria’s pseudo-democracy is the fact that those clamouring for President Bola Tinubu’s second term are not flaunting his achievements.

The more sophisticated amongst them are blackmailing the country with the rotational presidency arrangement between the north and south. They insist that since Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner, was president for eight years, then a southerner must be accorded the same privilege. And…

A Look Ahead English Premier League 2025-26: NOTTINGHAM FOREST

A Look Ahead English Premier League 2025-26: NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Sports
Prospects There is a sense they will need to be better in possession and dominate games because playing twice a week, once European competition begins, is especially difficult for a team who are chasing the ball and playing on the counter. The system has worked well for Nuno Espírito Santo in the past, but there is a sense evolution is required to keep Forest ahead of the game. Pre-season has brought an early shift in style and the change has been enthusiastically welcomed within the club. One problem has been evident: they are struggling to score. Forest played seven friendlies,…
