Books by May Ohaedoghasi
‘‘When it’s all rosy and our emotions
are high, when we can pay our bills and have some fun around us, you may mean
well and truly love me but am not so sure; I’ll just move along with the
tide. But when we ache together, when my friends depart because I can no
longer measure up to their standard, when its caving in on me and you have
the option of going away and leaving me with the misfortune you didn.t create
and you choose to hang in with me, then I have found love and the love will
nurse my wound. Again, when I snap and bicker at you and the children out of
frustration, when I entangle myself in some terrible habit or group like
drinking because I have nowhere else to vent my problems. If you can look
beyond the dirty cloak and animalistic tendencies and choose to love the
human being inside of me; if you can determine to help rekindle the tiny
sparkle of life and hope deeply embedded within my soul albeit shielded from
other people’s view, then embrace me my dear for I have found true love!’’
This one addresses
comprehensively, the issues of stress and stressors in our environment.
Stressors in our environment like environmental pollution, certain forms of
religious worship, lack of job and the attitude to it, road congestion and
other silent killers like computer radiation, black lights for currency
counting and many other topics are highlighted therein. The management of
stress is treated under the three major levels of human existence- physical,
psychological and spiritual levels.
The reviewer of the book-Prof Guy Ilogu- says this
of the book; ‘’It is recommended to undergraduates and postgraduates
students, especially students of Guidance and Counseling, Conflict Management
and Resolution, and Organizational Behavior. Seminarians in training will
find it a useful companion for the benefit of their congregations after
graduation from the seminaries. School, marriage and pastoral counselors will
find it very handy and useful. School managers, principals and teachers need
this book so as to maintain harmonious relationship among themselves,
especially when cases of job dissatisfaction, “teacher burnout” and teacher
retention arise. Couples also need it for peace and harmonious relationship
at home. Finally, this book is recommended to researchers in behavioral
sciences, and captains of industries who constantly cope with changes in
behaviours of their employees.
A part of this book review by Prof Hope Eghagha
says,’’ My Sweetheart, My Bride is May Ohaedoghasi’s contribution to the
moral debate on sexuality, sex and chastity, currently raging through the
world. For, as we know morality and sexual issues cannot be taken for granted
anymore. This is so because some core traditional institutions like the
church have also become victims of radical re-interpretations of sexuality
and sexual orientation. Old paradigms are being questioned, and the young and
vibrant generations of youths we have become highly experimental with sex and
sexuality….. Family values have been assaulted by a battery of forces that
mothers and fathers have to rise to the defence of the idea of the genuine
family. Homosexuality and lesbianism have gained currency in our land, though
most practice their trade underground. Marriage vows as enunciated in
Christian theology have to be reaffirmed and taught to the younger ones. How
else to do than to stress the value of chastity and sexuality as tools for
re-ordering the world?’’
It is a
tool guide that is intended to be used in coaching our young ones in the
right sexuality education and moulding them into people with noble character.
It is a curriculum for the gazelle love club. Many of us teachers and parents
still shroud the issue in secrecy as if that is the safer
path to tread as it was of old. Yes, secrecy would have been the right
attitude were the issue of sex to remain a marital bedroom issue. But
it is obvious we have moved from that saner position- no thanks to street
and media pornography, internet surfing and unbridled freedom. Decorum has
been thrown to the wind and the dictum now is, ’’Welcome to the world of
sexual frenzy’’.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to expose our
young ones and even adults to knowledge about the proper use of human
sexuality, the associated risks of its improper use and the best ways to
separate the myths from the facts about what they are being bombarded with in
the environment.
This is a
discuss on the experiences that typify most middle life stage of life and the
discomforts or disease conditions that typify it. Issues such as menopause,
andropause or male climacteric, joint pains, forgetfulness, libido, etc and
their management are treated therein.
Have we bothered to know why most marital breakup
tend to happen at midlife, when couples must have spent over twenty years
together and as such ought to know how to know how to cope with each
other? Why do you think people forget simple things like their car keys when
they are in their forties and upwards—is it just an age thing? How do
you manage the dip in libido at this stage of life and also keep heart
problems at bay? And so forth. All these and many more have been tackled in
this book plus a lot of tips on the use of the right kind of
supplements to help people glide through the middle stage of life to the
elder stage.
The author
of this book makes an effort to fill the gap between academic competence and
balanced qualitative interpersonal and intrapersonal life which can be achieved
through meaningful learning and training in Emotional Intelligence. This book
is also addressed to students at levels of the educational ladder- from
primary to tertiary. It offers a road-map for moving from the mediocrity to
the stage of excellence, both in character and in learning.
