8 Steps To Marry A Cheating Husband

8 Steps To Marry A Cheating Husband

This post is specifically for women because we have seen, heard, and read too many times that a good woman has been cheated on by a bad man --- and she never saw it coming. I just had this conversation with my friend, Uju over the weekend when we were talking about a certain female Nigerian celebrity who was cheated on by her husband.

Why Don’t We Like To Say Vagina?

 During the BlogHer16 conference, I was blessed to be one of the Influencers working with Vagisil.

I was interviewed by Guardian Woman, Exquisite Magazine, and Punch. I was also Read More
