Now you finally know…
How long to wait before sex is a hotly debated topic that probably isn’t going away. But even still … how long are you “supposed” to wait? Maybe you went out with someone and your chemistry is UNDENIABLE. You instantly feel that attraction and your sexual energy between the two of you is DYNAMITE. What are you supposed to do? End the date? Go where your body WANTS you to go?
Your brain is wrestling with your tingling body and you SERIOUSLY want to just go for it.

It’s the age old struggle — if you jump into bed right away you run the risk of screwing up something that could have real long-term potential. The sex might be fantastic, but what if he ghosts you afterward and leaves you in a puddle of insecurity? What if she gets the wrong impression and pegs you as just another player?
You may find yourself wondering — if you wait and build an emotional connection before you have sex, could it mean a better opportunity for something lasting?
On the other hand, if you do have sex, you might wake up the next day and find that the two of you are blissfully bonded and completely at ease with each other. One night leads to a weekend together and then the two of you become inseparable. It happens!

Is there a magic formula for the timing of that first sexual encounter?
How long is long enough? Do you have a hard and fast third date rule? What factors need to be present in your relationship to make you feel secure about sharing your body with someone?
So from me to you,
“Keep an open mind. Explore each others’ bodies. Kiss deeply. Enjoy the sensation of skin on skin (I’m talking ribs and arms and thighs and stomachs here, not condomless sex). Communicate—that feels amazing, you’re so good at that, harder, softer, once more now with feeling! Laugh when things go weird, smile, make noises, enjoy yourself. Don’t worry about being good in bed, or lasting long enough, or looking hot enough — focus instead of giving and receiving pleasure, enjoying the experience, learning about what your new partner likes and dislikes.”

While Nigerians were celebrating Christmas in their homes, a housewife, Christiana Odo, allegedly killed her husband, Rominus, for failing to provide money for the family during the celebration.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the incident happened at the couple’s home on London Barber Street, Majidun, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

It was learnt that Christiana, 37, had asked the husband for money for food to celebrate Christmas, but the husband had said he didn’t have any money.

This was said to have led to a quarrel between the couple, which degenerated into a fight.

Our correspondent was told that in the ensuing scuffle, Christiana, a mother of three, picked a kitchen knife, with which she stabbed the husband to death.

A police source said the incident happened around 5.20pm, adding that it threw the community into confusion.

He said, “The woman asked the man for money for food, but the man turned her down, saying he didn’t have money. This led to an argument and the man hit her. They fought and the woman, in anger, went into the kitchen and got a knife with which she stabbed him to death.

“What attracted neighbours was the man’s scream for help as he was drenched in blood. The woman said it was not intentional.”

The landlord was said to have reported the case to policemen from the Owode Onirin division, who arrested the suspect.

The victim’s corpse was reportedly deposited in the Ikorodu General Hospital’s morgue.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, saying the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.

She said, “It was a resident that came to report at the station that the man fought with his wife. In the process, the woman stabbed him to death. The police visited and photographed the scene. The suspect was arrested and the corpse deposited in a morgue. The case is still under investigation as we await the result of the autopsy. Meanwhile, the case has been transferred to the SCIID.”

WorldRichest:
Yes, she is still a nursery virgin. You can only lose virginity when the hymen is broken. There is no hymen in the anus. So having anal sex does not make you not a virgin.

It only makes you a professional virgin

Here is an unusual post about the various categories of virgins you will find as a guy.
This post will help you channel your preferential treatment of virgins appropriately. Below is our 3 classification of virgins.

1. Primary Virgins

This consists of girls that do not allow any form of intimacy. Their lips has never been kissed, their breasts have never been smooched and their body has never been caressed. We all know what they are called *Winks...

2. Secondary Virgins
This consists of girls that allow kissing, smooching and caressing. They do all these with their full clothes ON because they are so fearful that they could yield to sex when aroused but mostly shyness of allowing a guy see their body could be the reason.

3. Tertiary Virgin This consists of girls
that allow kissing, smooching, caressing ,
cuddling unclad, finger and also giving and
receiving BJ. They are also called professional virgins, their only fear is that they are not yet ready to be a mother.

So guys, there You go with the three different categories of virgins. So when she tells you she is a virgin, ask her where she belong before you start giving preferential treatments
of a primary virgin to a tertiary virgin...,

A woman on Tuesday, December 13th, gave birth to two-headed baby at Med-In Specialist Hospital located at Oshogbo Street in Ogudu,Lagos. According to doctors at the hospital, the baby born around 6:30pm through an elective caesarean section, has two heads, a neck, chest, two legs and two hands. The mother and medics were expecting a set of twins as indicated by the various scans she underwent in the course of the pregnancy.

According to one of the nurses who was in the delivery room, they had prepared two cots for each of the twins but were shocked when they saw that they were conjoined. “This is the first time I am seeing anything like this. I have watched it in movies but seeing it in real life was such an experience for me. Thankfully, the surgeon ensured that they survived.

“As I speak to you, the mother doesn’t know the condition of the babies. She still believes and expects to carry her twins. We haven’t told her yet. Only her husband was brought into the theatre to see his children and he was the one who went with the doctors to LUTH,” said the nurse.

In medical parlance, the condition is known as Parapagus. It is a rare form of partial twinning where there are two heads and two necks side by side on one torso. Such cases are rampant in India and doctors say they cannot be separated since they have only one pair of arms and one pair of legs and one heart.

This disorder is different from conjoined twins as the baby has only one set of internal organs. The extremely rare case is thought to be brought on during the early stages of pregnancy as a result of genetic mutation. Med-In Hospital Manager Dare Moses said the baby was taken to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) so that tests can be conducted to ascertain if they share also vital organs like hearts and lungs.

“There is need to find out if they share major organs together. They may have to be flown abroad for separation if they have separate hearts and other vital organs. It is possible for them to survive. I have seen cases of twins like this in movie surviving and living normal lives. Normally, when we have cases of pregnant woman expecting twins, we usually go for elective caesarean, which was what the mother opted for. But when the doctor was trying to extract one of the babies (first one), it got stuck and when he examined further, he discovered that there were two heads in one body. We are happy that the baby was delivered alive and placed on oxygen. Both heads were alive.

“It was really amazing. I am proud and thankful that we delivered the baby alive. Yes, several scans were done by the mother in the course of pregnancy at different places, but none discovered any abnormality. We are thankful that the operation was successful.”

According to a doctor, who refused to be named, the babies were meant to come as identical twins and must have shared the same sac and placenta.

“Nobody can specifically say the reason for the condition. At different stages during pregnancies. Twins divide but these ones didn’t divide fully. We can’t really say if they have only two pairs of legs and hands, there’s a possibility the other pairs are inside. But we don’t know yet. There are so many things we can’t really determine physically. That’s why several scans would be conducted, including CT Scans, to know their exact condition and the best option. It is a situation that would be best managed abroad because it requires the putting together of a team of paediatric surgeons who must have the best facilities, which we do not have presently on Nigeria. We have good doctors but the materials are not there. Specialists in different fields would be working on them at the same time if they are to be separated. Chances of their survival in Nigeria are very poor giving the realities of our society.

“If they can’t be separated and are left to survive, people might ridicule them or see them as curses, which isn’t good. But in other climes, some conjoined twins have survived to adulthood and they are doing fine. You should also know that it would be very expensive to foot the bills, and it isn’t what any parent can handle alone. The government and good spirited individuals would have to assist them so that the kids stay alive. All we want is to give them as much chances as they can possibly get to survive.

“Our medical system in Nigeria is in poor shape. Even at the teaching hospitals, chances are that they may not even have those necessary equipment to support survival of children like this. There is need for a multi-specialist team, drawn from various teaching hospitals, to handle cases like this and they should be provided the right equipment.”

The Ministry of Health has been notified of the development. The hospital disclosed plans to inform the baby’s mother.

All participants of the Sergey Mavrodi's ponzi scheme, popular known as MMM who are from Nigeria i believe might have read this.. The below message was written from the founder of the scheme and published on each MMM participants news board.

Sergey open up his mind in this letter as he directe it to the Nigerian authorities.

Read below..

Honorable authorities,

So far MMM has come under a constant attack from you. In this regard, I would like to ask you a few simple questions. Since you are concerned with the interests of millions of your fellow citizens, I hope that you would be so kind to answer them.

1. What are you trying to get? Do you want the MMM System to collapse and millions of people to suffer? Who will support them then if now MMM is their only means of livelihood? Will you? You even don’t pay wages to people? Or might you not care about them? Might you be using a trendy topic to make a good name for yourselves? What will you say to a mother who will have no money to buy food for her child? Will you let her child die for the sake of the higher interests of the economy?

2. You say that MMM is a scam. What is the scam here, if all members are warned in advance about all the risks, the possible and impossible ones? They know there are no investments at all. The warning is a red text on a yellow background placed on most prominent place of the website.

3. You say that MMM is bad. Why? Yes, it produces nothing, but nothing gets out of the country either. The money is just redistributed among the citizens of Nigeria. It gets from those who are richer to poorer ones, in this way restoring social justice. What''s wrong with that?

4. You have repeatedly stated that "it should be investigated!.. researched!.." It means you know nothing about this System yet; you even haven’t understood how it works. Isn’t it completely irresponsible of you to make all these allegations and play with the lives of millions of ordinary people?

5. And finally. If you know what is right for people, why is the life so bad in the country?

Sincerely yours,

Sergey Mavrodi

P.S. As for your statement that "everything will collapse soon". The system has been working in Nigeria for a year, and according to your estimates, the total number of members now is about 3 million people. In Nigeria the population is approximately 195 million. Can you calculate? Will it be “soon"? :-))

Users can send GIFs stored in the device memory as well as search Giphy’s large library and find animations to make your chats interesting.

All these new features to stay relevant in the ever-changing tech world have made WhatsApp even more popular. The company earlier announced that it manages over 100 million voice calls every day on the app, that makes it more than 1,100 calls per second. It has even upgraded the desktop versions of the app. Here are five latest features that you can try out in WhatsApp:

You will now be able to see ‘Video Call’ and ‘Voice Call’ choices when you tap the top dialler button. A new dialog giving the option between a standard voice call and a video call will appear.

The messaging app has rolled out support for GIFs support for iOS users with the latest version of the app. The 2.16.16 update allows you to send videos (six seconds or shorter) and Live Photos and GIFs. You can search the Giphy library to search for GIFs to send to your friends on your WhatsApp.

Tag

You can now tag others in the contacts within a WhatsApp group. You will be able to do the tag even if the people have muted the conversation. You can avail this feature by typing @ and click on the contact you wish to tag from the appearing list.

Picture edit

In the new update of WhatsApp, you can doodle on as well as edit on the photos before sending them to your friends. When the conversation tab is opened, you can tap on the camera button and click on the image from the camera. You will get a few icons on the top right, and you can choose to either crop the photo, draw a doodle, enter a text or a sticker to the photo. Then the picture message is ready to be sent.

Most viewed

There is an interesting feature in WhatsApp, although sadly it is only available to Apple devices as of now. Android owners may have to wait for a while. If you have iOS, you can go to ‘Settings’ and then select ‘Account’ and then ‘Storage Usage’. There, you will be able to see the total number of messages at the top of the page and also a list of chats, which are ranked according to the number of messages sent to the number. This helps you see who is your ‘best friend’, as in, to which contact have you spoken the maximum number of lines.

Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he will not abandon the ruling party, which he laboured to build.

Tinubu said irrespective of mistakes that have been made, he remains committed to the “ideas that fuelled” the creation of the party.

He said he had devoted his life to the party, pointing out that the national purpose of APC is bigger than the desire of any individual.

Tinubu said this on his personal Twitter account.

“I have devoted my political life to achieving what has been achieved. My heart is too much of the people and my mind too fixed on establishing a positive historic legacy… rather than engage in destructive pettiness,” he wrote.

“This government, APC, is for the betterment of the people and the national purpose is bigger and more important than any individual’s desires.

“This is a party I laboured with others to build. We would not abandon it for another. Millions of Nigerians who voted are watching and praying.

“In our journey to national betterment, plans and policies will be made, then amended. Mistakes will occur and then corrected…

“Achievements will be had and replicated. Through it all, I, Asiwaju will remain true to the progressive ideals that fueled the creation of APC.”

The statement is coming after reports that the strategic politician has been involved in talks to float a mega party.

From North to South, Africans have very much in common. In the course of investigating history for my book “Lost In Democracy”, I stumbled onto several scientific writings, which made very bold claims that sought to impress upon the reasoning mind that ancient Egyptians with their civilization and richness in culture and political tradition, were not Africans. After all, Africa excels only in primitivity and mental inferiority.

Thank goodness, though, there are many other racial-equality scientists, who have also been challenging this notion with verifiable and empirical scientific facts. Unfortunately, however, we, as Africans, hardly help issues. We commit ourselves to emptiness with strength and vigor, glorify invisible forces and powers and deceive ourselves that faith can move mountains while the rest of the world moves mountains with the power and forces of the brain. We commit ourselves to crimes, where others work hard to earn to earn a living. Statistical crime rate is almost always highest amongst blacks and people of African origin wherever there are blacks and people of African origin. Of course, there are and will always be plausible explanations for this deplorable situation, often based on marginalization and historical oppression.

Putting all that aside, it will be safe to highlight that the African continent, from North to South, has lived through centuries of shared identities and common values. In spite of the highly organized administrative structure of ancient Egypt, the indigenous folks were not only black (irrespective of variations in physiognomy and other physical features) but shared very much in common with the rest of Africa.

The system of government was absolute monarchy and the Pharaoh was a god-King. What was known as Pharaoh in Egypt was not known as Oba elsewhere. They all kept slaves, conquered territories and performed human sacrifices in the commonly shared belief in the supernatural.

With the coming of western civilization, however, traditions were transformed across the board. Under the guise of redemption from primitivity, the lifestyle of the African was overturned completely. From political systems to education, from dressing patterns to feeding patterns, from family values to social interaction, from language to religion, Africa has been overturned completely. Every vein that flows through Africa, every air that the Africans breath have been systematically westernized on the understanding that primitivity was making way for a better life.

In all of these, Africa has never felt at home with the political system that the West imposed. Every desperate attempt to practice democracy in Africa has always been as artificial as the conman exploitation of western religion. Yet in election times, politicians throng to the palaces of traditional kings and natural rulers, who no longer hold political powers. They seek to get pronouncements from these traditional rulers, whose words are often more respected that the laws passed by the western-style legislative organs. It is not for nothing that traditional rulers in Africa are called “Natural Rulers”. Yet, they play no role in their continent.

Africa has intellectuals en masse. Harvard-trained, Oxford-trained, London-trained, New York-trained etc. but they never interact with the Lagos-trained, the Lusaka-trained or the Maputo-trained. Where is the indigenous African Think-tank to provide theoretical guidance to African politicians?

The political system does not work. It is misused for personal enrichment. Religious systems do not work. They are misused to enrich eloquent preachermen. The educational system does not work. It produces abundant educated illiterates in voluntary captivity.

The completely stupefied African folks do not seem to have had enough to stand up and fight to cleanse the system for the generations ahead. They do not stand up to wipe off the corrupt elite. They do not stand up to wipe out thieving pastors and con-artists

When Africans stand up to fight, guess what they fight for. They fight for secession and call it self-determination. Whenever they succeed, the same old problem starts from square one. The corrupt elite. The non-functional and artificial DEMOCRACY. The tricky eloquent preachers, with high-end properties.

Is Africa cursed? Is there a solution?

Read my new book LOST IN DEMOCRACY. Read my journey through memory lane in the sampled history of African regions and the good and bad sides of western colonization. Read my proposal for a workable system of government that may take Africa forward. Join the debate.

Drake and Rihanna have officially confirmed their split. This became evident as they performed in Abu Dhabi but avoided each other .
Both superstars were in Abu Dhabi at the same time to celebrate the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Rihanna was headlining the after race concert at the du Arena and was expected to bring out her frequent collaborator, Drake, to make a cameo appearance, as they have done several times over the past few months.

But fans were left disappointed when Drake didn’t show up and Rihanna was left to perform on her own.trangely, eyewitnesses said that Drake’s DJ, Future The Prince, was backstage supporting RiRi during the gig along with Rita Ora, Paris Hilton and Akon, but there was no sign of the Hotline Bling singer.

A source told Mirror Online:
“Rihanna was an hour late to the stage and didn’t impress us too much. It was like she didn’t want to be here. We were so gutted she didn’t bring out Drake especially as he was already in the country. It just doesn’t make sense that they wouldn’t duet together.”
