Mortal betrayal and hypocrisy in marriage, by Francis Ewherido
Trust is one of the major legal tenders of marriage. Take away trust from marriage and what is left is carcass. Hypocrisy is another major drawback in marriage. Both can cripple a marriage like a pack of cards. I am a reality TV person. Recently, I have been watching one programme on Facebook, The Honour. Some of […]

Collapsed Marriages: Uwevwirohwofabeno, by Francis Ewherido
Uwevwirohwofabeno in Urhobo, means that it is very difficult to understand the inner workings of another person’s home. In the last one year, some celebrity and high profile marriages have collapsed. What surprises me is when some outsiders express shock over the crash of these marriages. I am surprised because I wonder what these people […]
“They don’t care about us”, by Francis Ewherido
Yes, KFC has apologized, but what is that useless and discriminatory policy doing there in the first place?
Increasing cases of paternity fraud, by Francis Ewherido
One of the foundations of marriage is trust. If I cannot trust you in fundamental issues like paternity, the deal is off.
Okuama Community tragedy, by Francis Ewherido
Charity must begin at home. I am from Ewhu Kingdom, Delta State. Okuama Community in Ewhu Kingdom has been in the news for the wrong reasons. I commiserate with Nigerian Army and families of the 16 officers and soldiers who lost their lives. I used to join other children to line the streets of Ughelli waving the […]
“Women sef!”, by Francis Ewherido
Yesterday was International Women’s Day. I always like celebrating this day on this column.The theme for this year was “Invest in women: Accelerate progress.” How do we invest in women? For me, it starts from the home and from cradle, more like catch them young. The first 10 years of a child’s life are the most important […]
Lessons from last Monday, by Francis Ewherido
Last Monday was sharply different for me. The screen of my phone went blank over the weekend. Consequently, I was also blank for much of the weekend. It is not as if I am addicted to phones. I use it basically for calls, emails, messages and getting knowledge and information online. I only use one handset because, […]

When things just don’t feel right, by Francis Ewherido
As you grow older, health conditions and challenges manifest. To overcome the challenges or mitigate the risks, you undergo treatment, be on certain medication or take drastic decisions. Besides your personal physician (your doctor), you are your other personal physician. You own your body, so you must understand it and do what is best for […]
The hazards of Styrofoam, by Francis Ewherido
On February 22, 2021, I wrote an article titled “Real and Metaphoric Floating Debris.” In the article I wrote about my experience at Ladipo Market, Lagos, where a heavy down pour caught up with me. I complained about “empty food packs, plastic bottles of water and drinks, among other debris that were earlier disposed of indiscriminately.”I was […]
Ughelli, my Ughelli! Presiding over the destruction of your next generation, by Francis Ewherido
I was born and started life in Ughelli, a town then, but now a city, in Delta State. The only language spoken was Urhobo. My childhood memories were sweet. Ughelli was a very safe town. There were no fences separating compounds, so we had many shortcuts. Then the adults would send us on errands and […]
Is sex a Prostate Enlargement Therapy or Hype? By Francis Ewherido
“A fool at 40 is a fool forever,” is a popular, in fact, hackneyed saying. I have not subjected it to empirical study, so I will not comment on it. But I know that at 40 you should try to be real and after 50 years, if you still live a lie or lie to […]
Breast Cancer, Be Proactive, Be Brutal, by Francis Ewherido
I am neither a woman nor a medical doctor. But I needed to make today’s topic real, so invited my cousin, my real “paddy” and Chief Medical Director of NTA Clinic, Victoria Island, Dr. (Mrs.) Martina Agberien, to co-author today’s article with me. Breast cancer is the nemesis of women, just as prostate cancer is […]
