Horlufemi:
Sensible post

yomi007k:
Op u are wise.

permit me to follow u.

I appreciate u both..it really takes a deep-finkin person to take his/her time to read and digest this long but time-worthy piece and realize some truths we've allowed sentiments to rob us of, as Nigerians..
Common sense aint so common afterall.

My third point.

Though Buhari did not inherit a wonderful
economy, his ideological hangovers prevented him from
acting on time to stem the tide. It’s like cancer. If you leave
cancer stage one untreated, it gets bigger, and moves to
stage two. Untreated, it gets worse and moves to stage three.


And, finally, it gets to stage four where it has spread to other
organs. The economy was probably at stage two when
Buhari took over, but he felt chemotherapy would be too
painful for the masses that elected him into office. Now the
cancer is spreading and killing jobs and shredding the naira
and shrinking the economy. That is the consequence of
delayed adjustment.


My fourth and final point. Since we are still hopelessly sold
to oil, and production is getting smaller by the day as a
result of militant activities, I think The Pioneers will have to
do a remix of “Time Hard”. Things will get even worse before
they get better. You don’t transit from oil economy to
industrial/service overnight. If we couldn’t do it in 40 years, I don’t expect us to do it in one year. Or even four years.


Except oil recovers miraculously, this carnage will continue.
Sadly, the bad situation is worsening because of socio-
political tensions: the herdsmen, the Niger Delta militants
and Biafra. Meanwhile, APC, the ruling party, is enmeshed in
a civil war.


Where do we go from here? I honestly pity President Buhari.


Despite shifting ideological grounds on the exchange rate
and fuel price, the economy is still nowhere near recovering.
The truth is that we are in a bad place and there are no easy
ways out. It is a peculiar mess. The tasks he must face
squarely now are critical.


One, how do we first stabilise the economy and stop this
bleeding? Two, where is the recovery roadmap so that the
average Nigerian can hope for light at the end of the
suffocating tunnel? Three, how do we ensure that if there is
another oil boom, we will utilise it intelligently and finally
escape from what I call the “petropathetic” syndrome?
It is very easy to point accusing fingers at Jonathan for
mismanaging the economy or Buhari for not finding a quick
fix, but maybe we should begin to look at the mirror as well.
With oil boom, we were living false lives, holidaying in Las
Vegas and holding weddings in Dubai with unearned or
dubiously earned income, pretending to be rich when it was
all a bubble. Now the bubble has burst. We can see clearly
now. As Buhari seeks to reform the economy, we too must
discipline our appetite and endure the inescapable pains of
adjustment. Without another oil boom, recovery is going to
be slow and painful. But in due season we shall reap — if we
faint not.


“It is very easy to point accusing fingers at Jonathan for

With oil boom, we were living false lives”.

DRUMS OF WAR.


The Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) has issued an ultimatum
to Niger Delta militants to cease attacks on Yoruba
communities— failing which the brigandage will become “an
eye for an eye”. In recent times, suspected militants have
been unleashing havoc, unchecked, on coastal communities
in Lagos and Ogun states, shooting and looting, raiding and
raping, killing and kidnapping. The OPC threat,
unfortunately, is not the solution. The basic reason there is a
government is to provide security for lives and property,
and it will be tragic if people have to resort to self-help.
That’s a perfect recipe for civil war. Ominous.

----------------------

OUT OF ORDER.

Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, the acting inspector-general of police,
has ordered the arrest of the killers of Chief Lazarus Agaie,
the traditional ruler of Bokkos, Plateau state. Really? Do the
law enforcement agents need any order before they unravel
crime and apprehend the suspects? I thought that’s their
primary duty! When VIPs are kidnapped, we are usually
informed that the IG has “ordered” that the perpetrators be
arrested. This “order” business must be unique to Nigeria.
Should we assume that many murderers and kidnappers are
yet to be arrested because the IG has not “ordered” the
police to do so? Curious.

------------------

STUDENT AFFAIRS.


The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has
done the unusual — they have finally spoken about a matter
concerning Nigerian students! They recently asked the
federal government to reverse the policy on post-UME tests.
I was very happy that for once, NANS is talking about
student issues. In the last 17 years, they have been busy
defending or promoting politicians. They have been
endorsing, dishing out awards to, passing votes of
confidence on politicians — and visiting state houses. Very
lucrative stuff. I totally forgot that it was an association set
up to fight for the interest of university students! Hilarious.

-------------------------

HIJAB SAGA.


Honestly, I never knew that Muslim pupils were not allowed
to wear hijab in public schools in some states until these
court cases started showing up. All my life, I have been
seeing female students wearing the hijab and “Deeper Life”
scarves, and I have never objected to it. Indeed, it looks so
normal to me. I’ve never lost my appetite or sleep because
of the way people choose to dress to express their faith.

-------------------------

Can
somebody please educate me on how hijab is a
catastrophe? I would like to implore all agitated parties to
allow sleeping dogs lie. Precarious.

If you were a lover of reggae music in the 1970s, you would
certainly know “Time Hard”, a hit song by The Pioneers, the
Jamaican three-man band. “Every day,” they sang,
sonorously, “things are getting worse.” That song was
released in 1972. At the time, Nigeria was producing two
million barrels of crude oil per day and selling at an average
price of $1.8 per barrel.


We were not yet oil-dependent, so the revenue was basically
a bonus. By 1974, oil was selling for $11, six times the 1972
price, and our stomach ballooned. We became helplessly
hooked on petrodollars. The only song Nigerians could be
singing was: “Things are getting better.” The Pioneers would
not sell.


But their song still became very relevant in the early 1980s.
Average oil price fell from $34 in 1981 to $32 in 1982 and $
29 in 1983, meaning serious trouble. Oil boom had sent us
into an expenditure overdrive and overkill. We had taken on
massive projects, importing recklessly and accumulating
debts like medals. Our foreign reserves began to sink as we
struggled to import basic food items, such as rice and milk.
President Shehu Shagari tried to stay afloat through a
“stabilisation plan” that cut spending, reduced imports and
hiked duties. After the 1983 elections, the government could
no longer pretend. The economy went berserk. Things fell
apart.


This is 2016 and the symptoms persist. In fact, our economy
has been on a downward spiral since late 2014 when oil
prices started plunging. It became more pronounced in
2015, and it appears we are now breaking records as we
wake up every day. Are The Pioneers singing in the
background? The naira is officially at its worst since it
replaced the pound as national currency in 1973; oil
production has plunged from 2.2mbpd to probably its
lowest in 10 years; FX reserves are going south; inflation has
gone wild; and we are just awaiting figures from the
National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to confirm that we’re
officially in a recession — first since 1987.


There are four points I would like to highlight as we discuss
the state of the nation this morning. One, we cannot deny
the fact that the crash in the price of crude oil is what got us
into our current gridlock. We classically got carried away by
the recent oil boom and failed to learn our lessons. Now
history is mercilessly repeating itself. Two, Buhari did not
inherit a healthy economy, contrary to whatever the critics
say.

Three, Buhari may not have been quick enough with his
response to the economic crises since he assumed office,
but there are no easy answers. Four, and this is the one that
scares me silly, we may be in for a prolonged drought.
Here we go. My first point. If Buhari inherited crude oil price
at $80 per barrel, with production levels remaining at over
2mbpd, the story would certainly be different.

We have to
face that fact without sentiments. The exchange rate, both
official and parallel, could still be below N200/$1; our
reserves would be still be fairly healthy because of the war
chest; and — with subsidy — petrol would still be less than
N100 per litre. Prices would stabilise. Foreign investors
would likely remain attracted to us and the stock market
would be bubbling. In other words, the relative growth we
have enjoyed over the years owed largely to high oil prices.
Indeed, President Goodluck Jonathan was unable to build
robust reserves in the time of boom — and this is very
significant. Under President Olusegun Obasanjo, the highest
price oil sold for was $60, and production was less than
2mbpd for the most part. He parted with $12 billion to settle
foreign debts, and still left FX reserves of $43 billion, out of
which $9 billion was excess crude savings. Under President
Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, oil went up and down, hitting $147
per barrel at some point, and sinking to $31 at its lowest.
With that, Yar’Adua raised FX reserves to $62 billion by
September 2008 — the highest in our history.



This is where the Jonathan team loses the argument. Oil sold
for between $70 and $120 during his first four years in
power (2010-2014) before the downward slide to $50 in
2015, when he left office. If our reserve management was
anything like what we had under Obasanjo and Yar’Adua
(when, by the way, Professor Chukwuma Soludo was the
CBN governor), Jonathan could have left at least $100 billion
in the reserves. If Buhari had inherited such a hefty kitty, the
naira would not be gasping for breath today. Clearly, our
failure to build an FX war chest in the time of plenty exposed
us to the infectious diseases we are battling with today.
Why couldn’t Jonathan build robust reserves? One, Dr. Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, former finance minister, kept crying that
Nigeria was bleeding from oil theft. Nobody listened. Over
400,000 barrels were being stolen daily. Two, NNPC failed to
remit billions of dollars to CBN coffers. The man formerly
known as Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, then CBN governor,
raised the alarm. We didn’t listen. Three, governors opposed
crude oil savings, saying it is unconstitutional. Four, we
maintained an artificial value for the naira for long, insisting
we had “robust reserves”, but our appetite for imports was
more robust. We failed to curtail the appetite because we
were awash with dollars.
Our aggressive spending during the last oil boom is coming
back to bite us.


Instead of spending the oil wealth to deepen
and regenerate the economy, we ran amok, bloating the civil
service and turning political appointments to a sub-sector.
The governors were hiring jets every minute to attend
political meetings. Nigerians were buying jets like pure
water.


How many people were sending their children to
foreign schools in 1999 compared to, say, 2014? We believed
we had all the forex to buy the world. We totally savaged the
economy. This is not about Jonathan alone — it was a
national pastime: from councils and states to the colossal
federal government.

Solomon Dalung.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has said it
did not direct the nation’s foreign-based athletes going to
the Rio Olympic Games to buy their own flight tickets.
Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung, made the clarification in a
statement yesterday following a purported mail asking
athletes to buy their tickets to the Olympics, and which was
said to have originated from the Ministry.


Barrister Dalung, who spoke through his Special Adviser,
Media, Nneka Ikem Anibeze, stated that the Director, High
Performance, Angie Taylor, had been saddled with the
responsibility of arranging for flight tickets and movement of
the foreign-based athletes to and from Rio.


“We did not write any mail asking athletes to pay their way
to Rio. As the overseers of sports in the country, it is our
duty to take care of all our athletes. The letter did not come
from us and we will investigate the writer of that letter. It
does not represent our stand concerning the movement of
athletes to Rio and the writer or anybody asking athletes to
buy their tickets to Rio will be investigated. We ask Nigerians
and athletes in particular to disregard the mail,” Dalung
said.


The minister however regretted the embarrassment caused
by the letter and asked athletes to remain focused on their
build-up to the Rio Olympics Games.

theEYe21:
Op, your post is funny oh none of the characteristics you mentioned are husband material

HUSBAND MATERIAL is definitely a big-time cliche..
Ur definition of husband material is someone else's rag material...#LIFE
Do away with dat misnomer already

Erm...to get back on his feet if she refuses the proposal

11. THE DEMANDING ONE.

No one likes to be told what they’re going to do. Period.

• I don’t even need to place examples on this one. Please,
stop telling babes what they are GOING to do and sit down and
have a discussion with them if there is something you don’t
particularly like.

------------------------------

12. THE COMPLAINANT.

Relationships are supposed to be filled with trust, love, and
happiness.
• Starts a fight over the smallest issues.
• Argues with any opinion you have that is not the same as
his.
• Always has a bad or negative attitude regarding everything.
Come on, make a positive comment for once dude.
• Cannot just sit down like a normal human being and talk
things out like adults. It’s called COMPROMISING.
• Uses bad language or putdowns when he isn’t the happiest
with you.

---------------------------

13. THE. AWKWARD ONE.

Just…awkward.
• Doesn’t ever start the conversation.
• Replies with one-word answers when someone else starts
it.
• Doesn’t laugh at any attempt of someone else making a
joke.

------------------------------

14. THE ONE THAT WON'T GROW UP
.
No matter how old we get, we all still like to have fun, but at
some point we have to grow up and be adults. I feel like this
one is #1 & #13 all rolled into one.


• Sleeps ’til noon almost every day.
• Wakes up, do some idle gists and chats and eats until he falls back
asleep again.
• Wakes back up and then hangs in the street corners with unambitious dudes that he'd call homies.


And finally, last but MOST CERTAINLY not least…in fact, I
might even give this the spot of being the number one
contender:

---------------------------------------

15. THE ONE THAT WON’T LEAVE YOU ALONE.
If she didn’t reply the first two times, what makes you think
She's gonna reply the tenth?
Enough said…

6. THE CHEAT.

This one should be a no-brainer, so instead, I will list signs
that he may be cheating:

• Won’t take phone calls in front of you.
• Never wants to take you out with him (all guys need to go
out with their buds, and vice-versa), but NEVER…?
• Doesn’t like to take you out in public anymore.
• You find random female items in his house/car that you
know are not yours, i.e., panties, makeup, clothing,
accessories.
• Has admitted to cheating in previous relationships. If he
did it before, he will do it again. And with that statement I
would like to add: If he cheated on his previous girlfriend
with YOU and left her for YOU, what makes you think he
won’t end up doing that to YOU? Oh, and YOU, by the way,
are a potential homewrecker.

----------------------------

7. THE “ASKER” a.k.a GentleMan.

women love the fact that men could be so sweet
as to consider their feelings and opinion by asking how
They feel about something or maybe even just what you want
for dinner. But these guys take it to a new extreme.

• “Can I kiss you?”(Dammit! Major Turnoff)
• This one will take some elaboration, so bear with me:
“Can
we have sex?”
Okay so, if you have been in a relationship for
a while and you’re comfortable with each other, the fact that
one day he might be like,
“C’mon, lets go have sex” and pick
you up and carry you off into the bedroom (or kitchen,
wherever) is kinda sexy.
However, I’m talking about the men
that make it uncomfortable on the first couple nights
together. Maybe you could be just sitting there getting to
know each other, feeling each other out, and in the TOTAL
WRONG MOMENT he says, “Can we please have sex?” or “Are
you ready to do it yet?” or the worst, “Can we do it again
yet?”
I mean come on, don’t ask. DON’T ASK. Just let it
freaking happen.
• Are you OK?
• Did I do a good job?
• Did you enjoy that?
• Are you sure?
• And of course, in the course of $ex, he asks all of them at once. “Is this OK,
are you enjoying it,
do you like this,
am I doing it right,
do
you want me to move…?”
On and on and on.

Stop. Just stop.

-------------------------------------

8. THE PUSHY ONE.

Sometimes women all love a little…authority if it can be handled
in a sexy manner, but the last thing they want is someone to
try to talk them into something they’d rather not do.

• Can’t let the moment carry out and happen, so he
immediately tries to stick his hands down your pants(urgh..Gross!).
• Makes you feel guilty every moment you’re not having sex
with him.
• Threatens “I’m not going to wait forever.”
• Even with the first conversation you ever have, all he wants
to talk about is sex.
• Doesn’t want to take you out, just wants to take you to his
place. We all know what that means.

-------------------------

9. THE PUSHOVER.

This happens to be the opposite extreme of #8.

• Can’t think for himself.
• His reply is often: “Whatever you want, babe.”
• Won’t, under any circumstances, tell you “NO.”
• Won’t tell you that something is wrong when you ask him,
but then gets mad because you didn’t know what was wrong.
That’s a female thing; stop it and tell her what the hell she did
to piss you off. Don’t be passive-aggressive.
• I know this one sounds awful, but he won’t participate in an
argument. I’m talking about the men who cannot stand up
for themselves and let their significant other walk all over
them. Fight back, you basterd!

------------------------------

10. THE CLINGY/CONTROLLING ONE.

Women want to feel like someone needs them in their life, but
these are some more cases of it being taken to the extreme.

• Won’t leave the house without you/won’t let you leave the
house without him.
• If for some reason you’re able to escape, he calls you every
ten minutes.
• Wants to know where you are every second of the day,
even if you are at work(hian! Could this be love?).
• If you miss a phone call, you MUST be cheating.
• Doesn’t trust you— RED FLAG!!!!
• Doesn’t like your girlfriends.
• Wants to share a Facebook account or sit on the same side
of everything as you/him(Nothing else matters)

1. THE BABY.

This one, dating experienced ladies can barely stand:

• Whines when you don’t text back fast enough.
• Gets upset when you text back and say “K” or “Ok.”
• Takes it personally if you don’t agree with his opinion on
something.
• Cries all or most of the time.
• He's always like: “I don't even know what to say to you right now” or “can’t
even look at you right now.”
• Claims that you had an attitude, were being mean, or were
“yelling” over a text.. IMPOSSIBLE I think.

-----------------------------------------

2. The BODYBUILDER.

Babes don’t mind a sexy, fit, muscular guy(TO SOME EXTENT).

• Posts gym selfies every day.(The iyanya crew)
• You can see the veins popping out of his body from a
picture taken in a mirror at least 50 yards away from him(his body now looks like a drainage map).
• Looks like he rubs his body down with oil always(shine-shine bobo).

• Is obsessed with the phrase “Do you even lift, Bro??”

---------------------------------

3. The MAMA's BOY.

There is nothing wrong with loving your mother. In fact,
most women like to think that men who treat their mama
with respect will also treat their woman well. But…

• Calls his mom when you get into an effing argument.
• His mom still pays for everything.
• He suggests that you take advice from his mother on how
to cook, clean, and take care of him(chai! Insult).
• Insists that you get along with his mother, or he can’t get
along with you(oshe! spirit of motherhood).
• Says he wants a woman just like his mom(Go marry her naa).
• Has to run to her every beck and call. (That should be what
they do for you the bae).

------------------------------------

4. THE LOSER.

No woman wants a man that could not help them if for some
reason she were in a fix and asked for it.

• No job/never had a job/can hardly keep one.
• (See #3) Mom still pays for almost everything.
• Sits on the couch all day and plays video games.
• Has his woman supporting him financially more often than not.

-----------------------------

5. THE BAD BOY a.k.a Baddo.

Don’t get me wrong here. I know at some point in every
female’s life she's attracted to the bad boys. But when it
comes to long-term relationship material, you might want to
rethink that one. This one I see to be a little more serious
than the rest, and the red flags are severe.

• Constantly in and out of trouble with the law(Area Fada).
• He's feared, not respected..he expects same from you too.
• Anything involving him putting his hands on a
female inflates his self-esteem.
• Has multiple kids that he can’t/won’t take care of(Ehen, the Yoruba Demons).
• Has multiple (and usually insane) “Baby Mamas.”(The kinda babes that can fight dirty in public coz of a man).

• Talks down at you.
• High Tendency for alcoholism.
• And this is my number one for these types(bad boys):
TELLS YOU THAT
YOU WILL NEVER FIND ANOTHER MAN LIKE HIM, no one will
ever love you the way they do, or they are the only ones that
could put up with you.
Imagine !!

MzPecs:
Lol
Op said she wants matured advice and I ain't gat one so I decided to chill and wait for matured advice



Good morning Sir..

Oh...mornin ma'am....u've just dished me the most matured comment today to start my day with...
Do ava nice day ma'am...

I smell incitement of ethnocentrism

Sexxkillz:
[color=#000030]My view about exes: I support the no contact rule (don't contact them first). They don't want you in their life no more, so don't bug them by trying to initiate contact. But when they contact you first, don't be a jerk by ignoring them totally. Never use more than 6 words to reply them. The idea is not to totally close the doors or burn the bridges. And only reply them when you feel like. They are no longer paramount in your life, remember?

And lastly, never ever go back into a relationship with an ex. . . Ever. They'll only return for a while, and break your heart version 2.0 and leave you in a worse state than version 1.0.[/color]

U made sense..up until the last paragraph..I need not debate my opposing views with u on dat..
Nonetheless bro..I withold the crazily-chilled vodka I was bou to offer u til I read ur effing last paragraph..

*opens fridge and returns vodka*
*closes fridge and walks outta thread*

SweetieConstie:
Piptoes, I totally concur with what sexkillz has said so far...



Don't give your ex a second chance in your life, he might end up wreaking greater havoc than he initially did...



Try to get over him, get busy with industrious ventures like work or studies, try the no-contact rule, hang out and have fun with friends and try to be happy again without him in your life... This might be pretty difficult to achieve, but you gotta try and be cheerful again... And then, when he eventually realises you're happy without him, he would begin to miss you again... And by then, you would have gotten over the heart-break!



Sorry about the heartbreak dear, please, don't grieve over him anymore.. You're definitely gonna be fine!

Hmmmn..juz sometimes, denying ur heart wat it yearns for, happens to be the actual heartbreak..

poshestmina:
It works babe but very difficult ,it got to a point I stopped recharging my phone

Better you let him leave,trying to fix a broken relationship is a big really big mistake

Hmmn...sister, no forget say "pls call me" sef dey oo

MzPecs:
Lemmie buy land here first while I wait for matured advice to come..

Lol..with ur immatured FTC uh??

#5 Sylvester Stallone.

– This star of the famous “Rocky” movies and many others has been around Hollywood for over 30 years. At 68-years-old he’s still making action movies most recently with “The Expendables 3”. You can tell from looking at pictures of him that he looks completely different than when he was younger due to multiple botox injections, eye lift and jaw restructuring.

#4 Steven Tyler.

– The lead singer of the famous rock band, “Aerosmith” and father of the actress Liv Tyler has admitted to plastic surgery in the past. Lately, we have seen him as a judge on the hit tv show, “American Idol”. Although he maintains a slim rock star figure, it’s clear that his face has been smoothed out by numerous botox and filler injections.

#3 Jean Claude Van Damme.

– This famous actor dubbed “the muscles from Brussels” has been an action star for years. He proved his amazing physical fitness in an auto commercial last year by doing the splits between two moving semi- trucks. While his bod may be top notch, his face lately is looking a little pinched. Other than the usual botox, it seems that Van Damme has had a total facelift and his eyes look pulled upward.

#2 All the living Jackson Five.


– We all know that poor brother Michael, rest in peace, was the most supportive of the plastic surgery movement, and at the very end he didn’t look anything like the rest of his brothers. The remaining members of the Jackson Five all have experimented with plastic surgery. Jermaine Jackson seems to be the most changed with a nose job and botox with possible cheek implants.

#1 Kenny Rogers–


“You’ve got to know when to hold’em, know
when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to
run..” Kenny’s famous “Gambler” song lyrics should have
told him exactly what to do about plastic surgery. Run! Yet,
he didn’t and his new face makes him look like a completely
different person. This great American-singer songwriter has
been on the charts with over 120 hit singles. At 76-years-old,
Kenny has even said that he’s not happy about some of the
plastic surgery he has had done, most notably you can tell
he’s had his eyelids lifted.

Hmmm.........am I d only dude who finks the only job oil tankers do these days is "catch fire".....rather than delivery of petroleum goods

love4rent80s:
This news is false, its not hausa teenagers ,its all these yoruba hoodlums

And how come 1.5m dey inside school?, is school a bank?

Lolz...nice point on the last line..

Erm..are u hausa?

#8 Doctors told him that he will never practice Kung Fu again.
Due to a weight training, in 1970, Bruce suffered an unfortunate accident and damaged his fourth sacral nerve. Doctors immediately ordered bed rest and gave him the grim verdict of existing a significant possibility of not performing Kung Fu again in his life. Still, by 1971 Bruce defeated the odds, and he was up and running, performing in his movies once again.
---------------------------
#9 He knocked out his opponent in only 11 seconds.
One of Bruce’s fights did not last more than 11 seconds. In this time, he managed to perform 15 punches and one kick that knocked his opponent off his feet. I bet that he never even realized what happened to him until he woke up. The poor guy never had a chance.

#4 Five hundredths of a second was the punching and reaction speed of Bruce
Some studies were made regarding the reaction and punching speed of Bruce, leading to the incredible result of five-hundredths of a second. He could hit you so fast that you wouldn’t even know what happened to you and where it came from.
---------------------------
#5 Not only speed characterized Bruce, but strength also.
Bruce was not only speedy but also very strong as well. If you can believe it, he hit a man so hard once, that in his fall, he managed to break the hand of the man behind him. Now that’s how one person causes multiple casualties.
-------------------------------
#6 He was able to do push-ups using only the index finger and thumb of only one hand.
Strong men are able indeed to make pushups on one hand, but how about in one hand and only using two fingers, the index, and thumb. It may be extremely difficult to do that, but Bruce Lee managed to do this performance. Something very hard to exceed.
---------------------------------
#7 He was a somewhat thin man, but he was able to almost life his weight.
As you may have noticed in his movies, Bruce Lee was not a bulky man. On the contrary, he was rather thin, weight around 130 and 165 lbs. Still, he managed to do no less than 50 one-arm chin ups, and could even perform pushups with additional weights on his back, of about 125 lbs. And some of us can barely do a simple pushup.

Bruce Lee is a name everybody knows, and it will live in our
memory for years to come. But since everybody knows him
as an actor, the truth was that he was indeed a unique
person.
This training, physical resistance, self-control, these
weren’t just fake stunts. He was indeed a genuine Kung Fu
trainee and had reached an incredible level in this art. And
even though he died at the young age of 32, he managed to
become a true legend. Here are some facts that will
reinforce the idea that Bruce Lee was indeed a personality.

------------------------------------

#1 He had incredible speed of movement

He was so fast that he had the ability to take from
someone’s palm a dime and replace it with a penny, even
before that person had the chance to react and close his
hand. That is so fast we can’t even imagine it, but Bruce
made it possible.

------------------------------

#2 He perfectly executed the “Dragon Flag” position

The “Dragon Flag” position is a very difficult one, as you
have to sustain the weight of your body on your blade
bones. But besides being able to perform it, Bruce could
also hold this position straight for about 30 minutes. I can
already feel my back sore.

----------------------------------

#3 Bruce’s speed exceeded the one of the camera
frames

Believe it or not, but Bruce was too fast for the 24 frames
per second cameras at that time. The film directors that had
Bruce in their cast needed to shoot his scenes in 32 frames
per second method so that his movements will appear more
natural.

6. MUSHROOM SHAPE: The mushroom shaped penis is
slightly similar to the hammer shaped penis, the only
difference is the mushroom shaped penis are usually
small in size and also the head is more like an umbrella,
just as a mushroom is shaped. The best position for this
kind of penis is the doggy style because usually they
don’t hurt that much and in the doggy position, they give
you much satisfaction because during thrusting, the head
will be rubbing against your clitoris giving you that sweet
sensation you always crave for.

--------------------------

7. PENCIL SHAPE: This type of penis is the type that appears
to be very straight but needs a closer look to ascertain
it’s straightness but at a distance they appear very
straight and slim. Sometimes it’s difficult to separate the
head from the shaft, it all appears to be on the same
level. Usually they are long and penetration from this
kind of penis can hit the cervix directly causing pain for
some women, just like poking someone’s eye with a
pencil. If you’re a woman with a wide opening, it’s
advisable to avoid this kind of penis because it can
hardly give you that kind of satisfaction but the position
to go for with this type is the woman on top. This gives
you the opportunity to control distance it can travel but if
you are carried away by the excitement and end up
poking places it’s not suppose to, that will be your own
headache. Doggy style is a no! no! for this type but
spooning is okay with it.

---------------------------------------

8. CARROT SHAPE: The carrot shaped is one of the most
loved penis by women, due to the gradual satisfaction it
provides as the heat gets on. This type of penis has a
smaller head with a bigger shaft. The shaft is rather
bigger than the head. Unlike the hammer and mushroom
head, you don’t feel it during penetration but as it goes
deeper, you begin to feel it occupying all the inner walls.
Deep penetration is good for this type of penis and so it’s
good to go for doggy with this type, if you ever come
across one. Missionary also works perfect with is type of
penis. Aside that, it’s also okay with all types of positions
too, but the most satisfying are the earlier mentioned
ones.

-----------------------------

9. “VEINY” JOYSTICK: This type of penis could be any of the
types above but has a lot of veins that clearly shows
when erected making it look pumped up and rough when
erected. It looks very rough with full of veins well
pumped up and ready to perform. Most women love to
see the veins on a man’s member and goes crazy when
she sees it lined with all those veins. If you’re that type,
then you might want to search for this kind of penis. It’s
very satisfying as the rough nature of the penis makes it
feel like it’s vibrating within you giving you that
sensation. All positions you come up with is okay with
this type of penis. You will still get the satisfaction you
need.

--------------------------------

10. BOOMERANG SHAPE: A boomerang is a thrown tool that is
shaped like a stick broken in the middle and turns back
to the owner after hitting it’s target, don’t get too excited,
this penis does not do that. This penis is just shaped like
the tool slightly similar to the ‘C’ shaped penis but this
one appears to be like it’s broken in the middle making it
bend to the right or left. The bend side can also give you
and extra satisfaction apart from what the real one will
do because it makes it seem like an extra meat lodging in
a different direction. The penis usually develop this
shape due to the Peyronie’s disease or how it is stored in
the pants. You must be creative and innovative if you
stumble against this one. You decide which best will suit

1. BANANA SHAPE: The name for this shape is obvious. This kind of penis is shaped just like a banana, they usually bend downward when erect. Now ladies, you need to be careful with this one, they are very deceptive, because when they are erected, it appears small due to the bending nature but when it gets in there, you could be surprised at the length it can go. So be very careful if you want to go doggy on this one, because you might not walk home properly. The best position for this kind of penis is the missionary position. Due to it’s bending nature and the angle the clitoris is located, it will surely be rubbing against your sweet bud throughout the thrusting. It also has the tendency of hitting the center of gravity due to it’s bending nature. Woman on top is also another position that best suits this type of penis.
--------------------------------
2. HAMMER SHAPE: Ladies, in your life time, you might come across a penis shaped like a hammer, don’t laugh, it really exists. With this type of penis, the head of the penis is big while the shaft is small, giving it that kind of hammer-like look. You can still find a banana shaped penis with a hammer shaped penis or other shapes which also have a hammer shape. Hammer shaped penis are good at every position because you can feel the head touching all the insides of your inner walls, the only disadvantage is that, you might not get that clitoral stimulation during intercourse due to the size of the shaft, but it can surely hit that center of gravity. Deep penetrations are not good for hammer shaped joysticks, shallow penetrations are the best since the center of gravity is not that far and due to the shape of the head, it can easily rub against the center of gravity.
------------------------------------
3. “C” SHAPE: This type of penis is shaped like the letter C bending to the right when erect. Usually some men develop this kind of shape due to a disease known as Peyronie’s disease. Others get it from accidents, while with some men it’s because of how they hide their boner in their pants, bending it to the right. If you recollect above, I stated the penis does not have a bone in it and so the direction you give to it is the angle it will grow to. C shaped joysticks are not all that satisfying but when it comes to the spooning position, you will love it. Just in case you don’t know what the spooning position is, it’s when the man penetrates from behind while they both lie side ways on the bed. The saddle position is also good for the C shaped penis. In the saddle position, the man sits on a chair or sofa, while the woman sits on it side ways. Some women might find it weird but what you need to know is that, when the penis enters the vagina, usually because there’s no bones in it, the vagina is able to correct some of these shapes, thereby straightening it.
---------------------------------------------
4. “S” SHAPE: If you thought the ‘C’ shaped penis was weird then wait till you hear about the ‘S’ shaped. This type of penis is shaped like the letter ‘S’, bending to the right and then to the left and to the right again. Women who have ever come across this type of penis usually write it off as it will be unable to perform but surprisingly they do perform. The ‘S’ shaped penis is not all that satisfying but they are good at giving you that tingling effect and it also depends on the man. Some men are good at using what they have, if you come across one of them, then that’s lucky for you. It’s also because of an accident, a circumcision gone wrong or bad habit of storing the member.
---------------------------------------
5. ALIGUNTUNGUI: Please note, this has nothing in common with the song, “aliguntugui”. This penis is shaped like the soar sop, hence the name. Aliguntugui is the local name for a sour sop in the Ga language from West Africa, Ghana. The fruit popularly known among Ghanaian folks as “sweet apple”. This type of penis is what we will simply term as a “Fat Penis”, it’s usually short, measuring about 4 to 5 inches in length but very wide and big in width. The width sometimes measures between 4 to 6 inches depending on the man and during intercourse, it feels like when you have your mouth full with water. It’s the kind of penis that enters you and you feel like you’re in the labour theater about to give birth. Any position is good for this kind of penis, so far as you have a wide opening and it definitely will give you that satisfaction because it will fill every nook and cranny of your vagina, scraping all your inner walls. If you don’t lubricate much during sex, then I won’t advice you to attempt this kind of penis but if you still want to be adventurous, you can go for a lubricant, they are available in pharmacy shops.

Over 160 miles away from the capital of Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, lies an incredible and unique place. The Darvaza Crater, also known as the “Door to Hell” or the Crater of Fire, is an underground cavern. It has been burning continuously for over 40 years and has become a surprisingly beautiful tourist attraction.
A team of Soviet engineers discovered the place back in 1971, as they were looking for oil. However, as they reached the site, they found out, that it was filled with gas. In order to prevent any unfortunate events from happening, they deliberately collapsed the ground. The result was a 200 feet wide crater with the diameter of 230 feet.
It didn’t take long, until researchers found out about the risk of crater’s poisonous gases, that could cause great damage to the nearby cities. Therefore, they set the whole place on fire to eliminate substances such as methane.
The team was convinced, that the fire would end in a couple of weeks but, surprisingly, the crater has been burning for over 4 decades. Every year, the location attracts thousands of curious tourists, from all over the globe. The crater filled with flames and burning mud, offers tourists an alluring view of “the Door to Hell.”

Love Machine:
Ladies like it when a guy display all these characters to her.She feels secure by it.

Only to feel choked by it sooner enuf

lagosflexcamp:
But this kinda of things don't happen in naija now. Which naija man wey hunger don scatter his thinking faculty go get time to dey do all this tins that you listed

Person with scattered finkin faculty as u say..dey reason love?

1. He has no outside friends or interests.

He never mentions any friends and doesn’t really hang out with
anyone but you. Outside of work, he has no interests or
hobbies. When he isn’t with you, he’s probably sitting at home thinking about you. Or maybe he did
have friends and hobbies at one time, but he gave them all
up in order to spend every goddamn minute with you. It's gonna seem cute to the lady at first but over time other signs will set in coz of this.

------------------------------------

2. He thinks you still have feelings for your ex.

He’s convinced you aren’t over your ex even if you’ve been
divorced/broken up for years and the only feelings you have
for him are disappointment, pity, disgust, and a
Kind of residual hatred. His insecurity is so overwhelming
that he can’t see reason and will convince himself that you
could possibly love him stil, so the only “logical” conclusion is
that you’re still in love with your ex.
-------------------------------------------

3. He tells you he loves you right away.

Very early in the relationship, he professes his undying love
for you. You could fly through the air while shouting, “He
loves me! He loves me! He loves MEEEEEE!” But the sane
part of you feels like, He loves me? Wait what? This is our
SECOND DATE! That’s crazy-talk! It takes time to get to know
someone enough to love them and if your new boyfriend is
telling you he loves you right off the bat, it should sound
warning bells, especially if he pressures you into saying it
back to him.
-------------------------------------

4. He tells you you’re his everything.

You’re his world, the center of his universe, his reason for
living. At first it may seem flattering to be valued so highly,
but being the center of one’s world, is not all it’s cracked up
to be. That’s too much pressure to live up to. And what
happens when you hit a bump in the road in your
relationship? When things aren’t going smoothly his world
falls apart. He falls apart. Because you are his world. This kind of men can hurt themselves in times of depression when there are relationship issues.
---------------------------------------

5. He needs constant validation.

He frequently asks you questions like, “Do you love me?” He
fishes for compliments. Then when you assure him that you
do indeed find him attractive, he doesn’t quite believe you.
Everyone likes to hear that they’re loved, pretty, talented,
attractive, intelligent, desired, but his needs go beyond
those of the rest of us. He generally suffers from low self-
esteem, which incidentally is the driving force behind many
of his insecure behaviors.
------------------------------------

6. He’s jealous of your friends.

He’s jealous of the time you spend with your friends. He
doesn’t like you to meet coworkers after work for happy
hour, he doesn’t like you going shopping with girlfriends,
and heaven forbid you have any platonic relationships with
men. He frequently calls and texts to check up on you when
you’re not out without him. At first, his possessiveness may
make you feel special and wanted. After some time, that
possessiveness will become exasperating when you feel you
can’t do anything with your friends without upsetting him.
------------------------------

7. He plays the break-up game.

He plays this sort of game wherein he threatens to leave or
break up with you. He says things like, “I don’t feel wanted”
or “I don’t think you really love me.” He doesn’t really want
to end the relationship; he’s hoping you’ll beg him to stay. If
you do, it validates his fragile ego. If you don’t beg him to
stay, he’ll take it all back and do whatever he can so that he
doesn’t lose you. He’s just testing your devotion to him and
demanding that validation he so craves. Eventually,
however, you’ll either be stuck in this unhealthy relationship
or you’ll tire of this little game and gladly let him leave the
next time he threatens it. This kind of men appear to be temperamental, don't be decieved, it's their insecurity issues playing out.
----------------------------------

8. He talks about his exes and how they cheated on him.

According to him, his exes never really loved him. He insists
that in every past relationship, he was the innocent victim.
No one loved him. They used him and cheated on him. This
may be true and the reason he is so insecure. Or it may be
in his head because of his insecurity. If you’re a sympathetic
person who feels the need to protect and champion the
underdog, his tales of woe will tug at your heartstrings.
You’ll may decide that you’ll never be the one to leave or
hurt him. But take the stories of his exes as a warning if you
don’t want to feel guilted into staying in a bad relationship. Sooner than you think, your love for him would seem more of an emotional obligation rather than that cute feeling you once had for him.
----------------------------------------

9. He stalks you on Facebook and/or other social media.

He is always aware the very second you post a status update
on Facebook, a tweet, an Instagram, etc. He follows you and
always knows what you are up to. He may even get upset if
he reads what you’re up to on Facebook when you didn’t tell
him personally before posting it for everyone to read.
Unless you’re a Kardashian, there’s just something a little
creepy about being stalked. God help you if you upload a picture without tagging him.
--------------------------------------

10. He checks your phone.

He looks over your shoulder when you receive a text. He
may nonchalantly ask who you’re texting or he might
outright demand to see your phone. He oftentimes feels like
you’re hiding something from him if you’re on your
computer or phone, even if you’re just checking your work
email, or texting a girlfriend your recipe for that superb jollof rice.
-----------------------------

11. He smothers you.

He smothers you with attention and gifts. At first you’re
swept off your feet by his sweet thoughtfulness. After a
while, however, you start to question his lavish gifts and
attention. Is he motivated to give you gifts out of pure love
or out of a desire to buy your affection and ensure you won’t
leave him?
----------------------------

12. He thinks you’re cheating.

He can’t quite shake-off his suspicions that you’re cheating on
him. He may accuse you of flirting with your own. Brother..lolz, having an
affair with a coworker, or just looking around for someone
better. It isn’t necessarily that he doesn’t trust you. It’s more
a problem of him feeling like he’s not good enough for you
so it’s just a matter of time until you find someone better.
----------------------------------

13. He gets upset if you can’t be with him every day.

Within minutes of leaving after your date, he’ll text you that
he misses you. At first, his attention is so sweet. Who doesn’t
want to feel so desired? It doesn’t take long to start feeling
overwhelmed with his obsessive attention though. He wants
to see you every day and gets upset if you have other
responsibilities that take you away from him. He has a way
of making you feel guilty if you need to work, run errands,
or meet a friend and can’t go out with him.
--------------------------------

14. His moods depend on you.

It’s normal, and it’s a good thing to be sensitive to the
moods of your partner but with an insecure man, his mood
will be totally dependent on you. If you’re happy and loving
toward him, he will be in a good mood. If you’re frazzled,
trying to juggle a thousand things and don’t have time to
constantly assure him that you’re in love with him, he’ll be
sad and depressed. His co-dependent behavior puts an
extraordinary amount of pressure on you to always make
sure you’re in a good mood so he doesn’t get down.
-------------------------------------

15. He’s overly sensitive to criticism.

No one likes to be criticized, but insecure people take even
the kindest, most constructive criticism really badly. They
have low self-esteem and cannot bear to have their
suspicions about themselves validated when someone
points out a flaw. If you open up and tell your partner that
he’s smothering you and you need a little time alone, for
example, he’s likely to turn it around on you. Instead of
listening to your concerns, reflecting on his behavior, and
promising to back off a little and give you space, he’s more
likely to turn it around with a response like, “I get it. You
don’t want me around. I knew it was only a matter of time
until you got sick of me and broke up.”
------------------------------------------------------

*Every dude must have had one or more of this problems before, over-time we must have overcome it and set ourselves free. Ladies, you would definitely have met a man with one of the above signs. TRUE or NAH??

He’d message you earlier in the day asking what
you’re doing later(as usual), because it’s been a while since you two
have hung out. AS FRIENDS.

He won’t text you until 10pm, at which point you can come
over and won't be able to return. AS A FRIEND.

You’ll be sitting on his bed, in the middle of a sentence,
choking back tears, because you just showed him the broken
pieces left of you from a fresh heartbreak, AS A FRIEND.

and he’ll cup your chin in his hands and bring your lips to his, to comfort you.
AS A FRIEND.

You resist but he maintains hold of your cheek and tells you
to relax and just kiss him. AS A FRIEND.

You give in, and he begins peeling off both your clothing and
his. Still—you guessed it—AS A FRIEND.

As he’s about to enter you, he’ll kiss you deeply, AS A FRIEND.

While he f**ks you, he calls you “baby!” repeatedly. AS A FRIEND though, so don’t get any crazy ideas.

He watches your face when you come, momentarily putting
his satisfaction on hold to revel in yours. Because THAT's WHAT FRIENDS DO.

After you’re finished, he’ll try to cuddle and tell you how
special you are and how much he LIKES you and is glad
you’re in his life—but of course, AS A FRIEND.

You get sleepy just lying there—you both do; it’s past 1am at
this point. Sometimes, as you’re getting your clothes back
on, he’ll ask if you’re sure you don’t want to sleep over. AS A FRIEND

On the nights when he couldn't get past your skirt, he’ll tell you not to get too comfortable or else
you could fall asleep and forget this is not home, AS A FRIEND

Up until a month ago he’d been
sharing a bed with someone else almost every night, AS A SOULMATE

You start putting your clothes on, and he’ll try to pull you
back down on the bed for a few more minutes. AS A FRIEND.

When you finally do leave, he’ll give you a hug at the door,
but won’t even walk you halfway down the street. Not even AS A FRIEND.

This is my 2cents for the special lady reading this crazy, stupid post, AS A FRIEND

Pls, don't let him take advantage of you, AS A FRIEND

Yea, you want more than thinking of him AS A FRIEND

But if you remain to him A FRIEND, he should never get beyond that zone AS A FRIEND.
