by on ·General, Lifestyle, Small Talk

First of all happy belated birthday Gift! Zodiac signs are really interesting, even though not all descriptions are true. it’s however always scary for me whenever I wonder how at least 80% of the descriptions are true. I have been doing a lot of study on every member of my team because I think getting the best out of people requires understanding them to a certain degree.

Here are some of the consequences of eating carbs, excessively, daily, multiple times a day, at night, when nobody is watching:   UNWANTED WEIGHT GAIN: Eating carbs every day will inevitably result in you exceeding your recommended daily calorie intake, hence unwanted weight gain especially in places that you don’t want.

Goodbye 2015

by on ·Lifestyle, Small Talk

2015 was actually a great year for Nkataa.com! It was a year where we laid a lot of foundations and stood on the bedrock of those foundations to look ahead. It was really weird how we lived 2015 in future mode, earnestly thinking about 2016 the whole time. All we did in 2015 was laying foundations for 2016, so as we wave goodbye to 2015 we excitedly welcome a new season. Last year came with a lot of challenges. We were always in motion – moving offices, moving orders, always moving. We established more organized set up though so things…

Much Ado About Water

by on ·Beauty, Drinks, Health, Lifestyle, Recipes, Tips

The feel of water on a parched tongue on a scorching afternoon -PRICELESS Being on the go almost 24/7 in this present age has led to a grab and go lifestyle. Think about it…we grab food, clothes, music, fast cars (okay…a bit carried away here) but somehow in the mix, it seems we have forgotten to grab water.  The unending argument of water being present in every meal is hardly a sound one.

Laughter

by on ·Health, Inspiration, Lifestyle

About a month ago, Dr. Craze (@crazeclown) visited Nkataa’s office in Abuja. There seemed to be a release of stress and an aura of joy from the moment he walked in, to the moment he left. Most of us who are used to seeing funny videos of him slapping his stubborn children on Instagram can easily relate to this funny dude. I got the opportunity to ask him if what we saw on Instagram were real slaps (no spoilers), so if you get to see him, you should ask him too. It was a long day of work, fun, and…
