• A lot of us experience mosquito bites,it's not a funny experience especially the area where i stay, it could be horrible. If you find yourself in a place where you can't access a mosquito net, maybe you are sleeping outside your house, the best thing to do is to keep a light beside you while you sleep.

I could remember a conference i went to doing my school days, the mosquitoes in the room couldn't allow me sleep peacefully, what I did was to put my phone light on and placed it on top of the bunk, with that i had a peaceful sleep.

• Sometimes we cook and forget to add salt or probably the salt we added is just in little quantity, just as you the food is almost done, you realize that there is no salt, you know that adding the salt like that would make it taste raw and not properly mix with the food, the easiest way to handle it is just to put the quantity of salt you want to add in a plate or cup, add small water, stir and pour round the food.

• In our houses, some of us just put our refuse into the refuse bin like that, this is not so nice as it not only dirties the bin but it could be smelly, the easiest way to handle refuse bins is to put a nylon inside it and cover it, so that your refuse enters directly into the nylon and then when you want to dispose it, you simply take up the nylon and dispose, then replace your bin with another nylon.

• Assuming you are cold, and want to bath and your hot water is not enough, put your cold water in the bucket and then pour the hot water on top, this will help make the water hot or warm depending on the quantity.

Whenever you are bathing hot water and it's little, to maximise it, never pour cold water into the hot water rather hot water into the cold water.

• Assuming you are frying and your oil catches fire, simply close the pot and off the heat source, never try carrying the pot from the fire.

• When you are cooking and your pot starts burning, if the food isn't done yet, transfer the food to another clean pot and continue your cooking. This will help the food not to be tasting burnt or probably reduce the burnt taste of the food.
