To Attract the right man, you must learn how men think
Romance / 9 Surprising Things Guys Find Unattractive In Women by 24hoursreporter: 8:14am On Apr 19, 2019
Guys can be a little bit funny with their desires. And if you want to attract the right man, you should be able to know how men think.

It is in the nature of ladies to get men attention. But sometimes they may be doing this wrong, and indirectly chasing the right guys away.

Do you know the funny thing about this? Girls may not even know that guys find some of the things they do unattractive.

So, every lady should take note of the following things guys find unattractive in ladies

9 Surprising Things Guys Find Unattractive In Women

01. Excessive Makeup

Wearing makeup is cool, but when it becomes too much it irritates a guy.

You may think applying foundations; lips gloss, eye shadow, mascara, contour, eyeliners, mary kay, etc may make you look good. But when it is too much, it will make you look unappealing.

Be moderate in your makeup. Minimal makeup brings out beauty, but when it is excessive, it makes you look like a “nightwalker” (Ghost).

02. Being Around Your Guy Always



This may sound funny, but it is the truth. Guys don’t like ladies that don’t give them breathing space. No matter how close and happy you are with your man, sometimes give them little time to be alone.

Don’t make it looks like you don’t have a life outside the relationship. Giving your man space from time to time doesn’t affect how he feels about you. In fact, it makes him value you more.

Demanding for your partner’s attention all the time can be irritating, and guys find it unattractive.

03. Overconfidence

We all know that guys love ladies who are confident and have high self-esteem. In fact, seven out of every ten guys out there want to marry a lady with high self-esteem.

But there is a big difference between being confident and being conceited. Guys abhor the latter. And it is one of the things guys find unattractive in women.

It is actually cool to believe in yourself, be proud of your accomplishment, and be glad of what you have to offer. But never show off. This will turn off any serious man from your life.

Trust me, no man wants to be with a woman who has a huge ego and acts like a narcissist.

However, when you are humble and have no trait of arrogance, you will naturally attract the right men.

04. Speaking ill Of Your Ex

Ladies are fond of speaking ill of their ex when they are around their new guy. While you may think this is a good idea, it is actually a negative behavior.

And if you have the habit of always bad mouthing your ex, your new guy may see you as a bad person instead. I know ladies do this to show a guy that they are completely over with their Ex.

But when criticizing your ex is becoming a recurring decimal in most of your conversations, guys find this very unattractive.

From a guy’s point of view, when you constantly criticize your Ex, it only means one thing – you still have feelings for him.

So, if you really want to attract Mr. Right, you must turn your back on your past, and move on.

05. When You Are Pessimistic In Every Situation

We are in the 21st century and being beautiful is not enough to attract the right man. You need to have a positive mindset when reacting to situations. Don’t be a negative Nelly…

When you are a pessimist, it affects your relationship negatively. Men find women with negative mindsets or personalities completely unattractive.

At a point in a man’s life, he needs a woman who will motivate and inspire him to weather the storm of Vicissitude that he may face in life. But a pessimistic lady may make things worst.

So, instead of worrying about designers clothes, overly styled hair, or long nails, strive towards being optimistic and develop a positive mindset. This will make you more attractive than the most expensive dress.

06. Being Mean To Other Girls

As a lady, it is important to always stand up for yourself, especially if you feel marginalized. But don’t develop the habit of being mean to other ladies. This is a trait that will make you unattractive to your man.

Being catty and mean to other girls only makes you look petty and immature. It doesn’t make you seem emotionally mature at all. And it irritates any guy when his lady is being mean to her fellow woman.

If you want to impress your man, stop behaving like a juvenile girl. Rather strive to be the best version of yourself. This will definitely make you more attractive to your man.

07. When You Take Too Much Risk (Things Guys Find Unattractive In Women)

It is true that guys like ladies that are adventurous and spontaneous. But there should be a limit to this, otherwise, you will become completely unattractive.

Engaging in risky habits like smoking, binge drinking, mountain climbing, driving without a seatbelt isn’t what a lady should do. In fact, it is one of the things that guys find unattractive in women.

08. Playing Hard To Get

Playing hard to get is one of the things guys find unattractive in a woman. While most men love women that are assertive and outgoing, don’t play too hard to get. This may make you lost a good man.

Whenever you are always playing hard to get, and disengaging from your man, you are making the mistake of not creating time for him.

To some guys, when you play hard to get it is an act of immaturity. And it indicates that you are unwilling to take the relationship seriously and this is one of the surprising things guys find unattractive in women.

09. When You Attend Too Many Parties
It is good to be social and hang out with friends once in a while. But when it becomes too much, it may come back to bite you.

Every man needs a lady who is reliable, rational, and not some out of control party animals who are reckless, and put themselves and others in a harmful situation.

You see, if you want to attract the right man, you must understand how men think. For instance, men love ladies who are confident, outgoing, fun to be with.

But when you are the type who throw caution to the wind and take party very serious, guys will find you unattractive.

Even if you must attend parties, do that responsibly. Because every man wants to settle down with a responsible lady.

If you really want to attract the right man in your life, practice what you learn in this article.

Career / Re: 5 Ways To Search For Jobs After Graduation by 24hoursreporter: 9:40am On Apr 13, 2019
If you know how to search for jobs strategically in the Labour Market, you will get a good job immediately after graduation.
Career / 5 Ways To Search For Jobs After Graduation by 24hoursreporter: 9:39am On Apr 13, 2019
Life after graduation is sometimes very challenging. Some undergraduates are victims of the belief that “life is a bed of rose”.Only to graduate and have their expectation shattered.

Oh! Don’t be sad, welcome to the real world where graduates are increasing in Geometric progression while job opportunities increase at Arithmetic progression.

Not that there are not jobs out there, but the competition is very high. This is why we have come up with 5 strategic ways to search for jobs after graduation.

If you are consistent with using the methods discussed in this article, you will get a good job in no time. But you need to have a positive mindset first.

over 70 percent of job seekers out there, don’t understand how the Labor market works. How do you intend to get a good job, when you don’t even understand the Labor Market?

The act of job-hunting is a skill every graduate should master. Once you master this skill, you will be changing jobs like no man’s business.

I have seen people who did Master programs immediately after graduation, they are still unemployed. While first degree holders are progressing steadily in their career of choice.

In this article, you will learn how to search for jobs after graduation. Remember, Unemployment is Real. But you can still get a job in the competitive Labor Market.

5 Ways To Search For Jobs After Graduation

Sign Up With A Recruitment Agency

Signing up with a recruitment agency is a reliable strategy to search for jobs. As a matter of fact, I got my first job through a recruitment agency. Ever since then, I have been progressing steadily in my career.

Recruitment agencies act like middle men in the labor market. They connect graduates searching for jobs with employers looking for staff.

Most recruitment agencies will register your credentials on their data base, lookout for any role that suits your skills and send your CV to the company for an interview.

Once you are successful during the interview with the company, you will get the job. It is as easy as that.

LinkedIn


LinkedIn is a professional social media platform that allows job seeker to search for job, showcase their skills, academic history as well as experience to potential employees.

The website has a section where companies advertise jobs. You can actually apply for any of the jobs there. Also, if you have a professional profile, companies may contact you for an interview based on your skills.

Online Search

Online search is one of the easiest ways to search for jobs after graduation. Google search makes this easy.

You can just type the role you are looking for. To get a better result, you can narrow the search to a location. For instance, you can type “Business Development jobs in Lagos”.

Talk To Your Mentor

If you have a mentor or career adviser, don’t fail to tell him/her that you are looking for job.

Who knows? They may know one or two persons who can help. The truth is, you need to try different options when searching for jobs.

Reach Out To Your Connections

There are two types of currency in the Labor Market – Your Skills/Experience, and your connections.

If are exceptionally skillful with years of experience, your chances of getting a job is high. But the odds always favour people with connections.

Depending on who is referring you, you may not even attend any interview before you get a job.

That unemployment rate is high doesn’t mean that there are no jobs out there. But you have to be more strategic in your job search as the job market is competitive.

Boe is in trouble
Education / 4 Most Controversial Aircraft Of All Time Including Boeing 737 Max by 24hoursreporter: 8:54am On Mar 21, 2019
Traveling by air is arguably the safest, but most dangerous means of transportation. It is safe and incidence seldom happens, compared to a road. However, when it happens, it is always very disastrous.

The aviation industry gives no room for 0.001 percent error. Such an infinitesimal error can be a great disaster. Nevertheless, I enjoy flying and I will not allow the fear of plane crash deprive me of flying. LOL…

Following the Ethiopian airline incident, that led to the death of 157 people ( Including 8 crew members), various social media platforms are awash with various news of the aviation industry. Well, in our case, we present to you the 4 most controversial aircraft (Passenger aircraft) of all time.

It is a common knowledge that regulatory agencies and airlines around the world have grounded the Boeing 737 Max airliner, including the US Federal Aviation Administration that grounded it on Wednesday 13th of March, 2019. Sadly, this is a bad market for Boeing. But the safety of aviation passengers is paramount.

The need to ground Boeing 737 Max became necessary after two of these jets crashed under similar situations within a matter of months. The Ethiopian airline crash has made Boeing 737 Max one of the most controversial aircraft of all time.

4 Most Controversial Aircraft Of All Time

De Havilland Comet

The de Havilland comet entered service in 1952. It was renowned for ushering in the age of jet-powered passenger flight. The jet came with great technological innovation and it was very fast, and sleek.

Who would’ve thought that such a great jet will fade at so easily, it did anyway. The airliner had several crashes. Some of the crashes were due to a design flaw with the wings, which was rectified.

Between 1953 to 1954, three different comets jet broke apart in the sky. This led to the grounding of the airliner by the British Government.

The de Havilland comet tried coming back to the industry, but it was too late, Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 already took over the aviation industry as the jet-powered workhorses.

McDonnell Douglas DC-10

McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engine aircraft that entered the aviation industry in 1971. It came in then as a rival to Boeing 747 Jumbo jet. Sadly, DC-10 had a series of problems from the beginning.

It all started in 1972 when American Airlines flight 96 ( A new DC-10) made an emergency landing in Detroit after it lost cabin pressure because the cargo door of the plane blew off mid-air. No death was recorded in the incident, but some passengers and crew were injured.

Two years later (1974), Turkish Airline flight 981 ( Another DC-10) also suffered decompression because its cargo door blew off in mid-air. But this time, it was fatal and all 346 passengers and crew on board died when it nosedive into the French countryside.

DC-10 problem didn’t stop here. The airliner was finally grounded in 1979 after negligence of maintenance procedure led to one of the engines to fall off the wings American Airlines flight 191 while taking off from Chicago. It was a fatal incident, and 271 people on board were killed.

So, DC-10 is no longer used for scheduled passengers service, but cargo carriers like FedEx still use it.

Airbus A320

Airbus A320 actually brought Airbus to the limelight. It came into the industry in the mid-80s, but today, it is the second best selling airliner in history after Boeing 737.

This airliner comes with a high level of automation like its advanced fly by wire computer-assisted control system.

In 1988, a demonstration flight tailored towards promoting the capability of A320 went wrong. As the Air France Flight 296 crashed in the air, killing three of the passengers on board.

However, the plane recovered its reputation in the 3 decades after the incident. This particular airliner though controversial has people’s trust.

Boeing 737 Max

The Boeing 737 Max had a humble beginning in 2017 when it started carrying passengers. It was actually trouble free during its first 18 months in service.

But things started going wrong in 2018. On the 28th of October, Lion Air Flight JT610 ( a two-month-old Boeing 737 Max) crashed shortly after taking off from Jakarta, Indonesia, killing all 189 people on board.

Again, on the 10th of March, another new Boeing 737 Max crashed, and the incident happened a few minutes of take off. But this time, it was Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302, and 157 people lost their lives.

Romance / How To Know That You Are Putting Too Much Effort In A Relationship by 24hoursreporter: 10:28pm On Feb 17, 2019
It takes two to tango… This is one of the most common relationship quotes people often use. It indicates that a relationship is all about togetherness.

A relationship will definitely succeed when both parties are committed to it. However, the relationship will die a natural death if only one person is putting all the effort while the other person is less concerned.

Most times, you may not know that you are putting too much effort into a relationship. Even though you are putting so much effort in your relationship out of love, there should be some positive reaction from the other party. After all, to whom much is given, from him much is expected.

Even though a successful relationship requires effort, the relationship itself should worth your effort. Otherwise, you will be wasting your time. To put it differently, your partner should be putting an equal amount of effort to the relationship.

Do you regularly surprise your partner expensive gifts and romantic dates, yet feel underappreciated? If yes, you are putting too much effort into the relationship. Below are some of the signs that you are putting too much effort into a relationship.

7 Signs That You Are Putting Too Much Effort In A Relationship

#1. You Always Feel Underappreciated

An appreciative partner is worth more than a million dollars. Yes, I mean it. When your partner appreciates you all the time, it grows the love and makes you put more effort. But if you constantly feel underappreciated, it is a red flag that you are putting too much effort in a relationship.

Well, sometimes your partner may be busy with work and may not really have time. You should understand situations like this, especially if it is not always. But if it persists, it is one of the signs that you are putting too much effort in a relationship.

#2. When Your Relationship Is More Of Work Than Reward

While there is no such word like “perfection” in a relationship, partners still share a good time together. It is normal for people to argue, fight and disagree in a relationship. And these same people will also have some nice and romantic time together. It is normal.

However, when the argument, fight, and disagreement outweigh the good and romantic time you spend together, it is an indication that you are putting too much effort in a relationship.

Even though building a relationship requires effort, it should worth all the effort you are putting. The compromises you make for your partner should give you rest of mind and happiness in return.

If this isn’t the case in your relationship, try to reevaluate things and know if your relationship is still worth your time and effort. If your partner that ought to have been your source of joy and happiness, has suddenly become a nightmare, that is a warning sign of exit.

#3. Your Needs Are Not Being Met

Everybody in a relationship has needs that need to be met. While you put in effort to make the relationship work, your partner should be able to meet your need. However, when these needs are left unmet, it is an indication that you are putting too much effort in the relationship.

#4. Your Partner Expect You To Fit In His/Her Life

It is common for people to take your effort for granted. When you do things for them regularly, they expect you to continue. If this is the case in your relationship, it could be an indication that you are putting too much efforts in a relationship.

#5. You Are Exhausted


Your relationship should motivate and energize you. It should give you endless joy, but when you are still bored and exhausted always in a relationship, you are putting too much effort.

The danger of putting too much effort in a relationship is the fact that your partner takes advantage of it. He or she will take your caring and kindness for stupidity and ignorance. If this is what your partner is fond of doing, trust me he or she doesn’t deserve your effort.

#6. Your Partner Doesn’t Make Out Time For You

It is a common experience in a relationship for your partner to give excuses of being busy. Oops! This is a scam. The trust is that nobody is actually too busy, it all about priority.

When your partner can’t make out time to be with you, it is a glaring sign that you are putting too much efforts in the relationship. If someone cares about you, he or she will make out time just to be with you.

It is foolhardy for you to be the only one putting all the effort in a relationship, why your partner keeps giving one excuse or the other. There is no way you can be happy in a relationship when there is no reciprocity in caring and attention.

#7. When Your Partner Manipulates You

Some partners are so manipulative in relationship. They always find their way around and make you unconsciously do things you ought not to have done. Sadly, most people out there are in a manipulative relationship without them knowing. You could be one of them.

When you start questioning your actions in a relationship, it could be an indication that you are putting too much effort in a relationship.

How To Stop Putting Too Much Effort In A Relationship

Nothing is as painful as your partner taking your kindness for granted. It makes you look foolish…

But you can still turn things around and be the superhero in your relationship. It’s all about knowing what to do and how to do it.

The first thing you should do is to discuss with your partner. Let them know that they aren’t putting the same amount of effort you are putting. This could help, but not all situation.

Again, let your partner know how much you love spending time with him and all the effort you are putting into the relationship. And inform them that you will feel appreciated if they can do same.

Every happy marriage you see out there has its own challenge. The couples must have gone through series of trials before coming to a compromise.
Romance / 7 Things That Make Couples Happy In Marriage by 24hoursreporter: 12:03pm On Feb 16, 2019
Marriage is a sacred institution, irrespective of what people think of it today. It is an institution where we aren’t expected to graduate (Sadly, there is graduation in marriage these days).

We all wish for a happy marriage, no doubt this is true. But how many people are willing to strive towards bringing happiness in their home? Very few. This is the sad reality…

Every marriage has its own challenge, but what makes the difference is the willingness of couples to make it work. There are certain things that make couples happy in marriage. When these things are present, both parties will enjoy their union.

7 Things That Make Couples Happy In Marriage


#1. Both Individuals Must Be Willing To Make The Marriage Work

For every successful marriage, both partners must be willing to make it work. Happiness in a relationship/marriage doesn’t happen overnight. It comes with sacrifices and compromises from both parties.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that marriage is a bed of roses. If you have this idea, please wake up to reality. It comes with endless challenges, but the willingness of both parties to make it work is what makes a difference.

No matter what your partner has done to you, if you believe in your marriage, forgiveness will not be an issue. So, one of the things that make couples happy in marriage is their willingness to make the union work.

What differentiate couples who are divorced from those who are happy in their marriage is “The willingness to make it work”. Once this will is in a marriage, happiness will never leave such a relationship.

We all see romantic and lovely couples every day. In fact, sometimes we wish we were there. But have you ever thought of the sacrifices they made before they got to that level in their union? And they wouldn’t have made these sacrifices if they don’t have the will to make the marriage work.

Once you believe in your union and ready to make it work, you will always be happy.

#2. Genuine Love

When there is genuine love in a union, that union can never fail. In fact, the couples will always be happy irrespective of the challenges they are facing. Sadly, the term love has been abused over time.

We often mistake “Lust” for “Love”. These are two different terms, but people used them interchangeable these days. If you marry your partner because you Lusted after him or her, the possibility of you being happy is such a union will be slim.

If you marry your partner because of social pressures, financial stability or the need for a family, you may not be really happy in your marriage. However, if you make the decision to marry somebody because you genuinely love him/her, you will definitely be happy.

There is something people fail to understand. Sharing life together is as important as the marriage itself. So, when you decide to be selfless about the love you have for your partner, the relationship will become enviable to every other person.

#3. Regular Sex

Sex is the most important thing in marriage. It serves as lubrication that lubricates the wheel of marriage. Regular sex creates a special bond among married couples. Research shows that happy couples have sex at least three times a week.

So, if you really want to have a happy union with your partner, sex is part of the equation. It is a constant in the marital equation that will bring happiness to couples.

#4. Faithfulness

Faithfulness is very important in every union. I have seen several marriages crumbled due to the unfaithfulness of partners. In the past, men are known for being unfaithful to their partners, but the table is turning around.

On daily basis, we hear stories of how married women are sleeping with their security guards, husband’s drivers and even bosses at work. I don’t want to sound chauvinistic, but it is what we have been seeing.

Once you start deleting those messages, hiding credit alerts and keeping secret, you have already started the journey of unfaithfulness to your partner. As a rule, try as much as possible to eliminate all form of distractions and build a happy home.

Remember they were several people around and you chose your partner, try to be faithful to him or her and focus on building a happy home. If you can infuse the spirit of faithfulness into your marriage, you and your partner will always be happy.

#5. Understanding

Understanding helps couples wither storms of confusion, argument etc that come that way in marriage. Understanding is an important marriage secret every couple needs to learn.

Without a doubt, it is one of the things that make couples happy in marriage. Sometimes, you and your partner may have different personality traits.

For instance, you may like talking calm during an argument and your partner likes screaming and yelling. It takes understanding to go through issues like this. However, if you understand the personality of your partner, you will be able to tolerate his or her excesses.

#6. Communication

Communication is key in every marriage. It is better for your partner to complain about things that he or she kept silent. The silence may be killing the marriage and his or her love for you gradually.

It is not just about communication, but you must be very open when discussing things with your partner. Learn to use words of affirmation and give amazing gifts to your partner. Open communication is one of the traits of happy couples.

#7. Respect

Every human deserves to be respected, irrespective of sex or race. Research shows that the happiest married couples are those who always respect themselves. In fact, a greater percentage of happy couples always have respect for each other.

It doesn’t matter if you are the man in the relationship, you need to give respect to your partner. After all, you can’t neglect the fact that “respect is a reciprocal”. The more you respect your partner, the more you get from him or her.

Respect is one of the tips on how to have a happy marriage, take it very seriously. It can help revamp a collapsing marriage.

Health / Re: 9 Misinformation People Have About Cancer by 24hoursreporter: 6:06pm On Feb 13, 2019
Whenever we see a cancer patient, the next thing that comes to our mind is death. This is not always true. In fact, cancer is not a death sentence... send the message and sensitive someone today..
Health / 9 Misinformation People Have About Cancer by 24hoursreporter: 6:05pm On Feb 13, 2019
Cancer is one of the most feared ailments in the world. According to experts, it is the second most common causes of death worldwide.

Honestly, whenever we see someone suffering from cancer, death is the next thing that comes to our mind. While cancer is dangerous, it has been overhyped over the years.

Despite the effort experts are making to increase cancer awareness worldwide, there is still misinformation about it.

Again, this ailment affects millions of people every year. According to research, one out of every ten persons has a family member or friend that has been diagnosed with cancer. Yeah! It is that dangerous.

Going by the reports of the National Cancer Institute, there are over 100 diagnosable variations of cancers. While there are advance medical breakthroughs in cancer treatments, most cancers cases have no definitive cure.

This is why it is one of the most dangerous ailments in the world currently. There are still several things most people don’t know about cancer. This article will clarify all the doubts and misinformation you have about this deadly ailment.

9 Misinformation People Have About Cancer


#1. People Who Make Healthy Choices Don’t Get Cancers


This is one of the greatest fallacies about cancer. Sadly, most people don’t even know how cancer starts.

So, cancer basically starts when a regular cell goes the wrong way.

While living a healthy lifestyle; eating well, regular exercise, getting enough sleep, minimizing alcohol consumption etc, can reduce the risk of cancer, but it is not an assurance that you can’t get cancer.

Let me blow your mind a little, we have seen a yoga instructor suffering from cancer. Cancer is basically a combination of genetics and environmental factors.

#2. Cancer is Contagious

Don’t be a victim of the lie that cancer is contagious “blah blah blah”. It’s a Lie with a capital letter “L”…. Cancer can’t be transmitted and if you have a friend or family member with cancer, you aren’t going to catch it from them.

#3. If Your Parents Have Cancer, You will have too

Indeed illiteracy is a disease o. Imagine “somebody whose father is dying of cancer sees such misconception”…. He will basically die before cancer comes.

Even though genetics is one of the factors causing cancers, but most of the cancer cases are associated with secondary environmental factors.

What most people fail to understand is that “we all make cancer cell”. But the immune system recognizes these cells and kill them with certain special cells. These special cells are like Police Cells, they fight all abnormal cell including cancerous one.

You see, we all make cancer cells. But people with genetic cancers are those who are deficient in those cancer-killing cells (Police cell) or mechanism.

#4. Only People Who Smoke Get Lung Cancer

While smokers have a greater risk of getting lung cancer, it is not peculiar to them. We have seen instances where people who never smoked before in their lives died of lung cancer.

So, the believe that nonsmokers can’t get lung cancer is one of the misinformation people have about cancers.

#5. You Don’t Have Cancer If You Don’t Have Any Physical

Nobody disputes the fact that self-examination is good. But not all cancers come as a visible lump. According to experts, Cancers are classified as either liquid or solid.

The solid cancers are the most common one and they are associated with the breast and prostate. Liquid, on the other hand, are present in blood cancers like Leukemia and are less noticeable.

#6. If You Have A Tumor You Have A Cancer


It still baffles me how people use Tumor and cancer interchangeably. Cancer is a group of diseases that cause abnormal cell growth. While Tumor refers to the mass of tissues that form when the body’s cell divide too much.

#7. The Symptoms Of Cancer Are Obvious


This is very untrue. Some patients with cancer don’t experience any symptoms at all. Again, it depends on the type of cancer. For instance, cough is the most common symptoms of lungs cancer. But there are patients with it that never coughed until they are diagnosed.

Also, blood in the stool is a common symptom for colon cancer. But there are patients who never experienced this and they have it. You see, the assumption that cancer symptoms are obvious is a very wrong one and it happens to be one of the misinformation people have about cancer.

#8. Eating Sugar Can Make Cancer Worse


Another misconception about cancer. What do you expect in an era when Dr. Google has suddenly become the highest medical authority…

Some people believe that taking sugar will fuel the growth of cancer. This has made several cancer patients be living a sugar-free diet lifestyle they don’t need to follow.

Breaking news…Cancer patients can eat sugar and it doesn’t fuel the growth of the disease.

#9. Everyone With Cancer Loses Their Hair

Let me confess “ I used to believe that everyone with cancer loses ther hair, until I read it somewhere”. The truth is that not everybody with cancer goes bald.

Most cancer patients that lose their hair could be due to treatment. For instance, if they have radiation to the brain, they may have hair loss. Again, chemotherapy and hormonal agents can cause hair loss.

And cancer patients who have chemotherapy may lose their hair for a few months and then it comes back. ..

Romance / The 4 Different Types Of Men In Every Relationship by 24hoursreporter: 3:05pm On Feb 11, 2019
In a relationship, some men fall into one of four categories: a boy, a player, a confused man, and a good man.

Different Types Of Men In Every Relationship


A Boy

A boy will always be a boy regardless of his age. Growing up and growing old is never the same. Growing old is mandatory while growing up is optional.

By choice, a boy cares less about what makes you happy as a woman. He knows very little about putting a home together, and he’s not ready to learn.

The woman will do the thinking and making decisions. He will be more concerned about his mode of dressing than his character. A boy is loose. He will “kiss and tell” and talks about everything in his relationship to everybody, and openly condemns his woman.

A boy worries about what his mom thinks of him. Even when it’s time to focus on his family, a boy doesn’t plan for the future and doesn’t want to grow up. He doesn’t understand the importance of responsibility.

When his woman is upset, he gets angry. He doesn’t know how to help her become calm. He’s not a bad person, he’s still a child. He would rather play around on his phone or computer instead of participating with you or his family.

You cannot put a bike engine in a car and expect the performance of a car; when a matured woman marries or date’s a boy, she automatically becomes a girl. She will change from a peaceful mature woman to a nagging young girl, and her friends will think she’s going crazy.

A boy gets easily intimidated by his woman’s position, status and feels insecure by her income. He believes he deserves respect because he thinks he is a man based on his age.

It’s difficult to communicate with a boy since he usually thinks he’s right. He feels superior and thinks he’s doing a woman a favor by dating or marrying her. Don’t date a boy.

A Player

It’s better to be single than date a player. No matter how much effort you invest in a relationship with a player, it most likely ends in heartbreak.

A player is smart, selfish, inconsiderate and usually doesn’t stay faithful to one woman. Most women fall for players because they appear attractive and presentable. Players have something extraordinary about them.

He can be rich, famous, tall, handsome, romantic, talented, good in bed and possess many qualities that a woman wants in a guy. He will sweep you off your feet at the beginning and make you believe you’re the luckiest woman alive.

He will tell you what you love to hear and show you what you love to see. He will make unbelievable promises. He will get into your head through your heart and take control of your thinking.

He will spend any amount of money and effort to take you to bed, and after accomplishing his mission, the story changes. Any attention and affection you get from a player can be temporary.

The first problem you’ll encounter with him is that his words will start to contradict his actions, then his behavior and timing will change drastically. Then you will start wondering what you did wrong.

Again it’s not you, it’s him. A player’s time is very imited, because he’s got a lot of women to share it with. It’s hard to win a game with a player unless she’s materialistic or never dates or marries for love.

A player’s heart has no space for love, he will marry a potential victim for selfish reasons or benefits and continue his games after.

marriage. He will tell terrific stories about his innocent wife just to get another woman to bed. Run away from a player.

A Confused Man

The problem with a confused man is he doesn’t know what he wants.

A relationship is like a door; you’re either in or out. A confused man will put one foot in and one foot out. People will think you have a perfect relationship while you’re actually not sure where you stand.

A confused man can be a wonderful guy who doesn’t play games. He will love you and give you all you want, but he will rarely commit to you. He will give you excuses all the time and put your life on hold, not because he’s bad, but because he has yet to figure out what he wants in his life.

Of course, there is no rush in love, but there is a big difference between endurance and ignorance. You can only endure with a man who knows what he wants and where he’s going in life.

Endurance with a confused man can be risky and a complete waste of time. When a woman makes up her mind and decides to leave, a confused man will change and start making new promises and deadlines just to make her wait more.

After a while, he goes back to his old ways, and for the woman, the waiting continues. One of life’s greatest mistakes is to embark on a life journey with someone who is not going anywhere in life. Avoid dating a confused man.

A Good Man


A good man is the best gift any woman could get. He’s a grown up matured man (regardless of his age) that is done playing games, ready to commit to just one woman and be faithful to her.

He will be responsible, trustworthy, love you and all that concerns you, and you will know it in your heart. He will be sensitive to your needs and will listen when you’re upset.

He will adore you, support you and bring out the best in you. He will be consistent and his words will match his actions. Good men don’t make promises, they make commitments.

You will be his best friend, his confidant and he won’t have to fight nor beg for his attention. He will laugh with you and cry with you. He will focus on your future and not complain about your past.

When there’s conflict, he will listen with compassion. If you’re upset with him, he will work hard to understand why. He will carry you along with his plans. If you disagree with him, he will listen to your point of view.

He will trust without a doubt and will give when you most need it. Although he may not have a lot, he will be happy to share the little he has. Most women think good men are difficult to find.

The truth is there are millions of good men out there. Where are these good men? They’re standing right behind the boys, players and confused men. You just have to clear those away first, so that you can see them the good men.

You cannot date or marry a boy or a player and expect the treatment of a good man. You now have a fact-sheet to deciphering the different type of men, and those that you should attract to your life.

Now, smart women like you realize that knowing the 4 different types of men is only a tiny part of getting and keeping your Mr. Right.

Foreign Affairs / 16 Amazing Facts About Queen Elizabeth II by 24hoursreporter: 11:43am On Feb 08, 2019
Even though queen Elizabeth is a public figure, she lives a very private life. What baffles most people about her is that she seldom speaks about herself and never grant interviews to the media. This is the reason why so little is known about her.

With over 66 years on the throne, she has become the longest reigning British monarch. Behind the stern poker face you always see screen, there are a whole lot of amazing facts you don’t know about her.

16 Amazing Facts About Queen Elizabeth


#1. She Never Attended Any School

This is one of the most amazing facts about Queen Elizabeth. Again, that she didn’t attend any school doesn’t mean she isn’t educated.

#2. Queen Elizabeth Is Married To Her Third Cousin ( Prince Philip)

You are probably knowing this for the first time. Don’t feel bad, we learn everyday.

Queen Elizabeth is actually related to her husband. In fact, he is a maternal relation to Queen Victoria ( Elizabeth’s great-great grandmother).

Let me blow your mind a little. Philip was born into the royal families of Greece and Denmark. However, he renounced his original titles when he married Elizabeth.

They have been living happily together for 69 years.

Elizabeth actually celebrates her birthday twice in a year. While is real birthday is April 21st, the country officially celebrates it in June 11.

As at when she ascended the throne, about 81% of U.K. Citizens weren’t alive.

She became queen immediately after the death of her father in 1952. Today she has become the longest reigning monarch in the world.

#5. She Owns All The Swans And Dolphins In UK Water

During the 12th century, the British monarch laid claims to “all mute swans in the country”. During this period, they were a delicacy.

However, the queen doesn’t eat them anymore, but she still owns them.

#6. She Has Made At Least 260 Overseas trips since she ascended the throne

Queen Elizabeth II has made over 260 overseas trips. However, she has slowed down her international trip.

But she still travels a lot. In fact, in 2015 alone, she carried out over 341 royal engagements.

#7. She Has Outlasted 14 British Prime Minister and 13 US President During her Reign (Still Counting)

In her 66 years of reign, she has outlasted 14 British Prime Minister and 13 US presidents. Guess what?? The counting continues.

#8. She Is Rich But Not The Richest Person In The UK

Without an iota of doubt, Queen Elizabeth is very rich. But she is not among the richest people in the UK.

She gets money from taxpayers and the royal family real estate holdings. Her net worth is £340 million.

However, she has not been listed on the SUNDAY Times’ list of 300 wealthiest Brits for the past 2 years.

#9. She Pays Her Taxes Every Year

Ordinarily, queen Elizabeth II isn’t required to pay tax. But she has been paying tax voluntarily since 1993.

Isn’t she a great leader? How many leaders around the world do this?

Queen Elizabeth has been portrayed as a character in several movies.

#11. She Drinks A Glass Of Champagne Every Night Before She Retires To Bed

Queen Elizabeth drinks a glass of champagne every night before going to bed. Perhaps, this is her little health secret.

#12. She doesn’t have a Passport or Driver’s license.

Surprise right? Well don’t be, queen Elizabeth doesn’t have a passport and driver’s license.

Come to think of it, does she really need these documents? They are issued in her name. And she is very comfortable behind the wheel.

#13. She Uses Her Purse To Send Secret Signals To Her Staff

The queen has a way of using his handbag or purse to send secret signals to her staff. She uses such signals to exit boring meetings.

For instance; if she places her purse on a table during a dinner, this is an indication that the event should end in the next 5 minutes.

Again, if she places her bag or purse on the floor, it is an indication that she wants to be rescued from a current conversation.

#14. She Doesn’t Use A Last Name

The queen doesn’t have a last name. Her official name is “Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.”

#15. She Can’t Be Prosecuted Or Compelled To Give Evidence In Court

Queen Elizabeth II can neither be prosecuted nor compelled to give evidence in court. Indeed, being a Queen comes with great perks.

However, she never abuses her power and she always acts in accordance with the provision of the law.

#16. She Publishes The List Of Gifts People Give Her Annually

It is customary of the Royal family to always publish list of gifts the Queen receive from the public and world leaders. This may sound weird, but it has been the tradition of the royal family from time immemorial.
