WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE EXTREMELY ANGRY AT SOMEONE?

Anger is an intense emotional state involving a strong uncomfortable and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, hurt or threat. An angry person will often experience physical effects, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of adrenaline.
Some view anger as a normal and natural human emotion, while some see it as a weakness to be angry. 
People react differently when they are angry. Some don't voice it out but inside, they are a burning cauldron. Some people just go away and leave the scene of the crime until things have cooled down.  Others are more expressive and they yell. Some get physical, and destroy things when they're angry. Some yell out insults and obscenities. Others could go as far as causing physical harm and destruction. 
    So which category do you belong? Do you think anger is normal? Some people like to think that as a christian, "you shouldn't be getting angry". Lol, really? They really do see it as some sort of defect spiritually that needs some laying of hands. 
    What's the best way to react when you're boiling with rage? Explode immediately or swallow it and maybe explode later? Remember that if you don't show people how you really feel, they may not know and may end up doing the same things that got you angry in the first place. Also, anger takes a bad toll on the body physically and emotionally and if not expressed, could continue to cause more and more problems. 
     The issue now is, what is the right way to express anger so that it becomes a mature reaction devoid of verbal tirades or physical destruction or infliction of injury? Do you sit the culprit down and tell them in a reduced tone of voice that they have offended you? I mean, how would they take you seriously and know the gravity of what they have done? Right? They may think you're not serious and that you're not really angry. 
    In all, we need to communicate our feelings in a mature and respectful way, not bottling things up and exploding over something very flimsy. Try not to be verbally insulting in communicating your issues; also try not to be physically abusive and destructive in doing that too. In all we do, effective communication solves and prevents a lot of problems.

9 Mobile Point and Kill Ad

For the first time in a long time of watching and analyzing video ads, I am actually speechless. A lot of people have complained about this ad (especially on social media) and how they do not understand the concept behind it. Well, let’s talk about it, shall we? It starts with the main character played by Frank Donga wandering into a yacht where he proceeds to ask the server for “point and kill”, a local slang for barbecued fish. He assumes since the fish is in the water, he could just point at his choice and the “kitchen people” would prepare it for him. She looks at him like he’s crazy (and rightly so!). He finds his way to the captain and asks same of him. This time, he’s lucky as the captain gets up to “arrange” the “point and kill”. This crazy man seizes the opportunity of the captain being away to man the steering wheel of the yacht which he drives at a crazy speed, loses control and is seen screaming for the location of the brakes. END. REVIEW  The scene is beauti...

Yeah, you broke up and are never ever ever getting back together with your  ex, right? Oh well, maybe you will someday, I mean, never sa...

5 LIFE LESSONS FROM BIG BROTHER NAIJA SEASON 6

If you have been watching past editions of the Big Brother Naija show held in Lagos-Nigeria, you would agree with me that there are tons of life lessons to be learned from the show. If you’re not aware, the show is about a number of people living together in a house full of cameras, navigating through tasks and relationships and voted out by the audience until one person wins. This season started with 22 housemates and then in the first eviction 3 people were booted off ( Yerins, Niyi and Beatrice). In that same night, 4 new housemates (JMK, Kayvee, Michael and Queen) joined the initial cast of Whitemoney, Pere, Liquorose, Jackie B, Maria, Peace, Sammie, Saga, Nini, Arin, Princess, Boma, Cross, Jaypaul, Saskay, Angel, Emmanuel, Peace, Tega and Yousef.  So back to the topic: what have you learned so far from the show? Hmmm… 1. VIEWERS LIKE WHO THEY LIKE As it has proven year after year, when the show starts, viewers are drawn to particular housemates most times because of how they l...
