African Ancestral Affirmation: I am supported by my ancestors, Olodumare and The Universe, therefore everything always works out for me. Repeat this affirmation three times in the morning or use the 3-6-9 method.

When you have a light, you have a light. Even when there is darkness all around you, you shine bright. Like a beacon, shining out from the center of the darkest night, you illuminate the world around you. That sparkle, that light is a gift. It is favor, it is grace, it is a blessing. With every gift comes responsibility. Be grateful for your light, nurture and protect your light. Remember, not everyone is drawn to or appreciates the light. And not everything is of the light. Be mindful of who and what you allow into your life. Choose wisely and never allow your ego extinguish your light. Honor that light, it is part of your purpose, part of your destiny. - Agbọ́nirègún (NaijaZen)

The Zaouli dance: A mesmerizing blend of rhythm, tradition, and artistry. More than a performance, it’s a cultural heartbeat of the Guro people of Côte d’Ivoire. 🌍✨

Yes it is an affiliate link, but I do drink hibiscus tea daily (preferably Nigerian or this brand of organic Egyptian hibiscus) and will be posting my morning herbal concoction soon. You can also buy Sorrel in Caribbean grocery stores if you live in a big city, but I find the quality is often lacking and beware of pesticides. In my opinion, Nigerian and Egyptian hibiscus have a deeper color and taste. I tend to think the deeper the color the more anthocyanins it has. So I go for deeper whenever I can.

Thinking about getting started with intermittent fasting? Here are some tips. I will be posting more intermittent fasting (IF) and heath and wellness tips on the Maino Cooks IGTV Channel so please follow me. IF is one of the tools I am using in my fight against diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Have a great week people 😂

Just trying to stay warm in the freezing cold. What’s a Naija boy to do…

Looking back at the year so far. I’m thankful that I have gotten back to a place where I’m doing me, working on my flaws and facing my fears. Sometimes, you have to face your own mortality to realize that life really is too frigging short. It would be a shame to have wasted it not being yourself. Be You. Do You. Live Life. Be Thankful Have a wonderful Sunday people!

Celebrate West Africa, Celebrate Africa. Together we are stronger!
