After a term or semester; schools go on a break, there are also public holidays in the year just like today, there should be personal break too, sincerely some persons need to go on a break. . Break from what? Take a break from relationships!! It is not a must to be with someone every moment of your life, infact it is unhealthy. . You need to learn how to love the whole of you, if you don’t love yourself, how can you love someone in the context of a relationship? We shouldn’t put our entire self-confidence and self- worth in the hands of other people, because loving yourself is the best and first part of love. . Stop making relationship a source of fulfillment or happiness, it shouldn't be. Being in a relationship always does not make you better, it only make you get more hurt and make your expectations too high. . If you end up getting married in such a situation where you're always with someone, you will want to be single again because you have missed that part. .

She said, “The menace of officers of NPF stopping residents of Lagos and demanding to search their phones has become increasingly worrisome. She, however, noted that “police officers are only allowed to do so when there is a reason to carry out an investigation”. “I must say this that in Nigeria, the police is still a work-in-progress and we will get it right soonest,” she added.
