After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
Francis Kéré has proven repeatedly that the materials beneath your feet are enough to build something extraordinary. Compressed earth, bamboo, laterite, eucalyptus. In his hands, what most architects overlook becomes the building itself. In 2022, he became the first African architect to win the Pritzker Prize, architecture’s highest honour. His words upon receiving it: “Everyone deserves quality, everyone deserves luxury, and everyone deserves comfort.”
This is the SKF-RTL Children Learning Centre, Nyang’oma Kogelo, Kenya. Two classrooms, a kitchen, office spaces, bathrooms. Each function sits in its own circular structure, arranged the way traditional compounds in this region are arranged. Not a western building plan dropped onto African soil. A building that understands where it is.
The walls are compressed earth bricks made on site. The bamboo log panels filling the openings filter light and pull cool air through the building. The steel butterfly roof extends beyond the walls, shading the perimeter and collecting rainwater at the center.
No imported climate solutions. The building handles heat, light, and water through the logic of its own assembly.

Every girl wants to have fun.
Now here’s the thing…
The ‘lover boys’ can’t afford the outside life
The ‘outsiders’ can’t afford to love and stay committed to one person.
This is the closest to reality.. Deal with it!
“I cook for my husband”= You’re a slave
“We split the bills”= Your husband is useless
“I spoil my wife”= You’re a simp
“I dress modestly”= You’re in an abusive marriage
“My wife and I make decisions together”= You’re not a real man
“I can’t do random nights out because I’m married” = You’re husband/wife is controlling
“My wife earns more than me”= You’re a useless leech
“My husband is the breadwinner”= You have no say since you bring nothing to the table
“I don’t need a male/female bestie because I’m married”= Your partner is insecure
This is how some of you see the world 😂
Y’all are far too pathetic and miserable to really understand what goes into making a marriage successful. Happy couples should keep it to themselves because you guys will find a fault in everything they do.
The Chiefs and people of Tarkwa, Huni have appealed to President Mahama to renew the mining agreement with Goldfields which expires in 2027.

Goldfields have owned the mines since 1993.
The chiefs argue that, Goldfields operations has contributed significantly towards the development of their communities.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Tarkwa in its glory.
When you start making good money, save it. Especially in the beginning. Save as much as you can. You'll desire things. New car, new watch, designer clothes to show the world you made it. And dumb philosophies will try to justify it. YOLO, life is short. Don't pay attention. Don't change anything. Save for a few years. And one day you'll notice, the urgency is gone. The anxiety... gone. You go to a restaurant, and you stop looking at the right side of the menu. You plan a holiday and you don't wait 3 weeks for cheap flights. Someone made you an offer that doesn't feel right, and you say no without thinking twice. That's what happens when you overcome instant gratification. It will give you peace to move at your own pace. A little patience, that's all you need. And it will give you something that no material object can ever match: a calm nervous system.
@tradu81@Blue_Footy Earlier days Blueco would have been signing players already. They have been relatively quiet and only rebuffed people trying to sign our top players. The pre agreed deals and loans are also coming in. I think they'll try to move on a lot of players in this window.
@tradu81@Blue_Footy BlueCo's first mistake was thinking they could run a high table club like a mid table club and things will go on as normal. That's why the Brighton model is taking shape in Strausborg but shit here. They caused this shit. Hope they learn from it this time.
@tradu81@Blue_Footy You can only offer as much as you earn. PSR limits your ability. That's why we are trying to earn more to be able to offer more. You can't just give a player what they want just like that. It must make sense in your finances.
@cherishpaul22@Blue_Footy Social media really allows anyone with a phone and an opinion to say whatever and feel high. Funnily enough you took away the nuance I was trying to bring out and decided to take the calling someone dumb route. Well, we can't take people away from their biases. Continue.
