There has ever being a growing need for men to enlarge their appendage so as to improve their competence behind closed doors.While many insists that skills rather than size of phallus matters, several others have opined that size and skills form a dynamic duo giving an explosive intimate physical experience between lovers.

The truth is sexual appetite and /or satisfaction is as varied as appetite for various things in life.We all have varied sense of perception in touch, pain, pressure, vibration and even PLEASURE.
Our ability to accentuate and maximise a sensory perception is what defines the difference.

However we can go on to debate about the essence of size and skill, but one thing is sure, many women prefer a large appendage since it almost guarantees pleasure (but sometimes pain).
The normal adult penile size ranges from 6 to 8cm when flaccid while it is 9 to 12 cm when erect.So if you fall within this range this might not be for you.

A simple google search yields turns of information on how to achieve penile enlargement but many of those methods leave people with various disabilities, ranging from penile fibrosis(thickening) to abnormal penile curvature(chordae) and sometimes even erectile dysfunction

HERE ARE A FEW HELPFUL HEALTHY WAYS TO ACHIEVE GREAT SIZE

1.PENILE EXERCISE –
This is strange but helpful. Even though the penile tissue is not made of muscles that should assume greater size with exercise, studies have shown that regular “stretching and pulling” helps to increase the linear size.This could be done ever morning before birth.It involves clamping on the base of the head of the phallus and pulling gently in five directions; forward, vertical, left, right and downward.

2.PENILE CLAMPING –
This also increases blood flow to the penile tissue.This i done by apply a ring at the base of the penis with thumb and index finger at 0-30% erection

Following an overwhelming bipartisan support for a bill imposing fresh sanctions on Russia, the American President, Donald Trump signed the Bill on Wednesday.The Bill also reduced the power f the president to waive or ease certain sanctions without congressional approval.
Sanctions impose on Russia for alleged Interference in 2016 elections, annexation of Crimea, military activities in Ukraine
among others.
In response, Moscow expelled about 755 American diplomats as well as seizure of American properties.This has further dampened the hope of improving Russia-America relations at least for now.
The Russia Sanctions target People and/or the following entities that:

undermine US cybersecurity on behalf of the Russia government
invest certain amounts in Russia’s energy export pipelines
conduct “significant” transactions with Russian defense and intelligence agencies (though this will come into effect six months from now)
commit, or assist in, serious human rights abuses
commit acts of “significant” corruption
provide support to the Syrian government to acquire arms
invest, or facilitate the investment of, $10 million or more in the Russian government’s privatization of any state-owned asset in a one-year period that could unfairly benefit government officials or their associates.

Ceaserean section, also known as C-section, Caesarean delivery or Abdominal delivery.
It is a surgical procedure that involves creating an artificial opening in the lower parts of the abdomen to provide an alternative exit for a baby from a pregnant uterus, when normal(vaginal) delivery puts the mother or baby’s live(s) at risk

Human sexuality is a topic Africans like to ignore, it seem like a very uncomfortable topic.Nobody wants to talk about it, schools, churches and social organisations alike.Those who manage to discuss it, do little or no justice

Now lets go!


Orgasm is the core of sexual activity, it is the peak of sexual excitement.Every married person, male and female alike deserves a burst of the feeling each time.Eventhough the man’s biology differs from a woman, nature as endowed both with the ability to maximise this intimate experience.

Since we have established that both sexes reserve the potential to climax, which of the sexes enjoy this more and why?

For many people, orgasm is an important part of sexual relationship.

The ability of a gender to have more orgasm than the other is known as orgasm gap.All groups of Men(Gay, bisexual, heterosexual) orgasm more than women.Eventhough Lesbian woman orgasm more frequently than heterosexual women, they still do less than men

Studies have shown that only 20% of woman climax, 75% dont and 5% never will .The reasons for orgasm gap could be biological, social or even cultural.

Here are a few reasons why Men are more likely to climax

1.Body dissatisfaction – women naturally have a higher incidence of this and this limits them from exploring the full potentials of their body. so the solutions is confidence in one’s appearance

2.Stigma against making the first move – In this part of the world, a woman that initiates it is seen as “loose”, this consequently affect their compliance, participation and contribution during love making.All these are very key to building the tempo to climax

The Breast is also known as the mammary gland, it’s the organ of lactation and largely rudimentary in Men.It is located in the upper chest and made up of loose fatty tissue sandwiching the breast glands, on a bed of muscles.
Breast Lumps are swellings with varying consistency(soft, firm, hard) which could be located in any area or at any depth of the breast as the case may be.Most breast swellings are benign especially in young people, however a tiny fraction of these lesions have life-threatening tendencies.

HOW SHOULD A NORMAL BREAST FEEL?
This is the only way to know when there is an abnormality
It varies in consistency with the upper-outer part being firm and inner-lower softer.Breast could be tender during menstrual cycle and the density reduces with age(Hence the fall )

BENIGN CAUSES– Constitute more than 80% of all breast Lumps
1. Fibrocystic Mass – accumulation of fluid sacs and supportive tissues of the breast

2. Intraductal Papilloma – small finger-like growth in a milk duct

3. Fibroadenoma – a soft glandular growth, non-cancerous

Several things could be very embarrassing to a man, but finishing first/too quickly in the bedrooom does not compare.Its no fun for either of partners and it ends too early.
Sexologists have said nothing  makes a man feel insecure like coming short when it matters most.
So if you are falling short of expectation behind closed doors, there are natural waysto overcome this without having to resort to Viagra or drugs that leaves you with painful erections.

Years of research in  the field of sex has yielded amazing result which includes practising simple tricks before and during sexual activity.Now get a chilled bottle of juice as i highlight the 10 medically proven ways to last longer

1.PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISE
This involves all activities that helps to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor.This involves occasional ceasation of urine at midstream for a few seconds or snapping the urethral shut for like 15 seconds while urinating or even while not.This should be done  about 10 to 15 times every day.This trains the urethral sphincter.

The aim of this is to help delay ejaculation thereby prolonging coitus

2 .pre-intimacy

This includes all activities done before penetration.This would include role playing, kissing, necking handling among others.This helps to eliminate pre-coital anxiety and it helps the partners to communicate effectively while also helping the woman to "switch-on ".
This is incredibly important to the woman, since it might determine how pleasurable the experience would be for her.
3 .TAKE CHARGE 

The commonest cause of premature ejaculation in most men is performance anxiety.The key is to shut down the self-debilitating mindset, and focus on that inner voice of confidence.
When the anxiety erupts, stop and take a deep breathe.Focus on your body, speak to your mind

4 .MIND DISTRACTION

Instead of focusing on the sex and your partner, let your mind drift off to something else.Some people say counting number/alphabets or even thinking about a movie.This will help to reduce/minimise genital stimulation which in turn prolongs or delays ejaculation.
Eventhough, this has been criticised by some sexologists arguing that it does not allow the man to listen and focus on the needs of his partner, it has been proven to work effectively.

5 .BUFFERING

As the pace of the thrust increases and ejaculation draws near, it is adviced to withdraw for a while.You can resume when you are sure the urge to expel has waned.While waiting, you can explore  and caress your partner's body to give that sensual  feeling.

Once an unknown figure, an unheard name, a print less foot in the sand of time, an inconsequential character, a compendium of regularities and a passing wind like many of us,  has now become a key figure.A man capable of altering the destiny of many tribes and nations, he holds in his claws the chains of freedom and in his mouth, the words of fate.

 Nnamdi Kanu has reignited an old struggle, he has woken up a tamed consciousness and has unshackled a leashed Dragon.He has brought hope to the heart of an entire nation, or may be a part.He one of the most controversial figure in the country today.
While the rest of the country favours unity and togetherness, he has preached the opposite.The Abia  born man has used every means possible to reinforce and impress his quest.He is resolute and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals or so it seems.Even several months behind the bars have seemed to strengthen his resolve.

But how did he become so prominent?
How did he become an important figure?
When did he become the spokesperson for over 30 million people?
How far is he willing to go to achieve his goals?
What price is he willing to pay?
Will he fight or flee when the dragon draws nigh?
Has he read about the civil war and its woes?
Does he know the implication of his actions and inactions?
Is he aware of the Nigerian constitution?
I have plenty more questions to ask but i could not be less interested in his answers.I am more interested in how he got to where he is, obsessed with the tool he used -WORDS

The agitation for the state of Biafra has reached a boiling point, with hate mongering and threats of war from various groups in the country, its time to speak up and address the status quo.Just before i highlight the ways to silence Biafra, one fact should be made clear to all relevant groups heating up the polity.No ethnicity is more important than the other in Nigeria.In a country that boasts of over 250 ethnic groups ,or as i like to say Nationalities, we are better described as UNITED NATIONS OF NIGERIA.

Irrespective of your stereotype or prejudice against the Igbo Nation, they are one of the most enterprising and innovative people in Nigeria.

However unverified statistics also shows that Igbos are the most travelled Ethnic group in Nigeria, You will literally find them anywhere and everywhere.They have built vast business Empires in various states of the country.They have formed semi-colonies in different corners outside the proposed Biafra.They have taken commerce, industrialization and Business economics to a new level even in the midst of Scarcity.

Would you say such a people want their own country or just a place where there is prosperity?

With all these beautiful attributes of the 34 million Ndigbo, can we take away the Scholarly, Innovative,modern and hospitable tendencies of 40 million Yorubas ? Or can we deny the rich Agricultural, Artistic, cultural ubiquity of the combined 31 million Hausa/Fulani?

What about the colourful culture of Efik people or the Rich farm lands of Tiv/Idoma people?

Can we ignore the deep cultural roots of benin or the social organisation of Nupe people?

So the truth is we need them so much but just as much as they us!

I must say at this point that i am not against the right of People for self determination but we cannot ignore the echoes of history, which should be a lesson to all.

Here are the questions we must answer:

Can we survive another civil war?

Will disintegration solve our many problems?

Does the 1999 constitution permit the current agitations by IPOB and MASSOB?

What does the Igbo Nation really want?

What lessons have we learnt from the last civil war?

Why were there no agitations during Goodluck Jonathan’ s Presidency?

Every reader will provide different answers to the above questions but one thing is clear- WE NEED A COUNTRY WHERE OUR INTERESTS ARE EQUALLY REPRESENTED.

If we want this agitations that threatens our unity and freedom to go, we need all these and more:
1.RESOURCE CONTROL-This is a component of True federalism, where every state explores and manages its own resources and contributes a quota to the central government.The whole country has depended on the “liquid gold” from the south-east and south-south for decades but there is little or no prove that these states are the sources of the nation’s wealth(a consequence of poor national and local leadership).Resource control gives the Igbo nation the freedom they really want.This will help other states of the country to look inward for lifelines.

A brazilian court has dismissed the criminal case against the American olympic swimmer, Ryan Lochte, for filing a false robbery report during the 2016 olympic in Rio De Janeiro.Lochte told NBC last year that he and fellow swimmer Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Fiegen were robbed at gun point in a taxi by men with Police badges, as they returned from Olympic village after a party on August 15

This crime, according to brazilian laws, is punishable by
