RoyalBlak007:Didn't I hit a button? Oops |
What is that one thing your partner could do or turn out to be that would make you end a relationship? I’ve heard several different opinions ranging from an abusive nature to bad breath. Fair enough. But the most common as expected turned out to be infidelity. When people hear or talk about Infidelity, physical infidelity is usually what comes to mind. The fact that your partner had intercourse with someone else is unacceptable. It’s painful. You can’t take it. It’s the height of betrayal. However, while it is not my intention to trivialize this deal breaker, I would just like to bring attention to the fact that emotional infidelity could be a deal breaker as well. Infact, Emotional cheating is as bad, if not worse, than its “wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am” counterpart. “Emotional Infidelity has been defined as a relationship between a person and someone other than (their) spouse (or lover) that affects the level of intimacy, emotional distance and overall dynamic balance…”. Everyone is very familiar with Physical infidelity but what people don’t understand is that it first starts in the mind. If you feed your mind with wrong images, wrong conversations, wrong movies etc. you eventually find yourself gradually embracing the need to act likewise. Nothing happens just like that. Emotional infidelity on the other hand is something people are not very conversant with but starts the same way in the mind. To have feelings for someone, it must have developed over time. It takes weeks, months, even years. It means you were conscious of what was taking place for that long period without any feelings of guilt. You allowed it, and you enjoyed it. An emotional affair is so subtle and seems so harmless that it is easily overlooked by many people. It is easy to think you can justify it by simply saying “we are just friends, nothing happened”. But think again. Something did happen. What happened is you have formed a deep romantic attachment with someone who isn’t your partner that could inadvertently cause pain and destroy your primary relationship. You have kept secrets. You have lied to your partner. You have broken the trust your partner had in you. You have done everything but sleep with that person. And trust me, sooner or later, that is bound to happen. If you’re texting a member of the opposite sex and your partner is uncomfortable with it but you think it’s more important to keep the other person’s friendship, that’s emotional cheating. If you prefer that person’s company to your partner’s, that’s emotional cheating. If you find yourself complaining to that person about your partner, you, my dear friend, are guilty of emotional infidelity. “It starts out as a friendship, so it can be confusing,” says sex and relationship expert Dr. Tammy Nelson, author of “The New Monogamy: Redefining Your Relationship After Infidelity.” “The important thing is to determine where a friendship crosses the line. It is a slippery slope from friend to emotional affair to a sexual relationship.” So that lady at your workplace you eat lunch with all the time, the Facebook friend you are connected to 24/7, the ex you still talk to and ruminate on the past with, they’re all people you are likely to cheat on your partner with. If you still think physical cheating is the height of infidelity, think again. So what’s your deal breaker? |

Nokia no longer the butt of tech jokes You know what? I think it's time to stop laughing at Nokia. The clichéd joke is that it's tech's most famous has-been, a firm that peaked with the 3310 and has nothing else to offer the world other than nostalgia about how your dad "still uses his old Nokia!". And after Microsoft bought Nokia's mobile division, and then swiftly gave up on making phones, it seemed like that was it for Nokia as a consumer brand. But what Microsoft left behind in Finland, a country which once oozed with pride over Nokia's success, was a bevy of bright engineers and strategists. Nokia isn't going away, and it surely once again deserves the tech world's respect and attention. Velocity Let's start with its most recent acquisition: Withings. Withings is a French digital health company that holds the accolade - if you ask me - for producing the only smartwatch on the market that isn't grossly offending to your eyes. Another of its products, launched just this week, is its smart weighing scale. There are a few of these on the market, but Withings/Nokia's scale is the only one that measures your "pulse wave velocity" (PWV). I hadn't heard of it either, but I'm told it's a measure of how blood is moving around your body. A key metric for measuring your cardiovascular health. Nokia's recently-completed purchase of Withings cost the firm peanuts - €170m ($191m; £133m). The sort of amount you'd imagine Facebook finds down the back of its sofa. For that money the company has essentially bought a ready-made digital health division with an impressive, sleek array of products and the promise of more to come. I'm writing this in the lobby of Nokia's new San Francisco office, the new home of Nokia Tech, the firm's innovation wing. Cedric Hutchings - formerly Withings chief executive, but now Nokia's head of health - told me joining Nokia gives them the chance to expand rapidly. He has lots of ideas and needed Nokia's money. Robotic ET Nokia's other big focus is virtual reality. Of course, that's a crowded space. Next week I'll be at E3 looking at virtual reality gaming, and the roster of companies producing hardware is huge - Oculus, Sony, HTC, Microsoft, Samsung… you can't move for VR gear. But Nokia is taking a different angle. Its focus has been on making the best virtual reality camera. No easy task - you need to film a complete 360 degrees, and provide the ways and means to stick it all together. Facebook's attempt at this looks like some kind of angry robotic ET - but Nokia's Ozo is a neat little orb. "We are taking a risk, but we think it's worth it," said Ramzi Haidamus, president of Nokia Tech. "Virtual reality puts us on the market as the most innovative company in that space." Patience will be a virtue here. Despite a lot of excitement, VR is still a revolution-in-waiting. Mark Zuckerberg has said he expects it will take several years to know if the VR headsets will be a success. For Nokia, the wait will likely be even longer. "Yes it's a gamble," Mr Haidamus agreed. "But it's such an exciting space and we're in year one of many years to come." The Ozo costs $60,000 - but if Hollywood is on the brink of getting excited about VR, that's a target market ready and waiting to pay that kind of money. If VR is the next tech gold rush, you could say Nokia is the company with the best shovel. If it comes off, the ones laughing will be Nokia - all the way to the bank. A tech comeback few might have expected.

Correct me if am wrong, isn't Ben Bruce a Senator? By definition dat means a Lawmaker Wc makes him part of the govt, He's a sorry excuse for a man, if all he wants to do is rant he should never have joined the senate (what a waste of space) |
A man wiser than myself told me life is in stages and men are in sizes, Know ur stage and size, put ur kids in school u can afford without staring at the bottom Finally, choose schools for ur kids by how good they are not how expensive |
veeceesynergy:The Niger Delta is cursed with the worse leaders They have misplaced anger, Jonathan was there first as VP and they President for 8 yrs and did nothing for his pple, the contacts and scholarships for the region goes the the children of their elites, Kings and leaders, Their anger should be directed towards their leaders not Nigeria, Nigeria even have a whole minister dedicated to the development of their communities "Minister of the Niger delta affairs" usually someone from there with their own huge budget and all, nobody is holding him /her responsible. Were they not the same people(Niger Delta) that celebrated late Alams when he returned from London after his arrest, the same people that wanted to stop repatriation of Ibori. And now don't want Jonathan probed and prosecuted Take Awka Ibom as an example they had good good governor for 8yrs only see what he achieved, he turned Akwa Ibom from a fishing village to a Modern State, with world class hospitals, schools, stadium, improved infrastructure and agricultural If u need anybody to blame blame urself for cheating urself but blaming others for ur problems is just easy and lazy |

Blacksodje:Do u kw abt Nigeria inland waterways authority? |
gmacnoms:Yes I've gotten a Sax Alto Premier England Just got a teacher to in Abj |
ajarossi:Not to dishonour the dead, but if the account of the soldiers were to be believed then they followed the right procedure, in truth u never kw what the bus might be carrying to a civilian a bus is just a vehicle but to a soldier a bus is a dangerous weapon on wheels, why speed past a check point just cos u're police officers, they broke the rules and it's a lesson to all government convoys dat like breaking the rules just cos of little holdup at check points, someday they'll shoot at them too Last year they opened fire on the governor of borno convoy to in error cos of similar circumstances Everybody else followed the rules why shouldn't they? Are they special breeds of Nigerian? |
I've gat one word for u, DOGGY |
Personally I think Senator Ben is a slowpoke, He rants on the Internet and keeps quiet in the national assembly, he has the privilege of being one of the few Nigerian who gets to oppose any law with reasonable arguments in the senate but what does he do he rants on the Internet like an overgrown baby, Does he think he's there to observe and rant on the Internet? |
Samtoby:Never unlock ur fone or ur laptop to a police officer without a warrant, except of course he has a gun to ur head, tell them it's a privacy concern, as a citizen u hv a right to privacy U let the police officer violate ur privacy and then victimise u, u're an undergraduate u should kw better, without an extenuating circumstance he can't search ur private property, would u let a police officer search ur apartment without a warrant? Note there is difference between search and check Another mistake u made was coming down to their level, never stop speaking big grammar it intimidates them and even though u are going to call ur dad tell them u're calling ur lawyer dat scares the sh*t out of them. And after the call don't talk to them anymore u'll see how scared they'll be not knowing the kind of lawyer dat is coming |
Marley01:Didn't ur Mama teach you not to mouth off to pple u don't kw, well even if she did u won't be able to comprehend seeing u're a Simpleton. U're just another kid with a compulsive Internet disorder, there is a name for u, u kw Douchebag troll Wish I could tell ur Mama it's not her fault, "some machines just come out of the factory broken" |

Hi, I wanna learn Sax I wanna know how hard it is ![]() ![]() I don't have a music background. I have never played any musical instrument except for tenor drums in a band. I like the alto sax and would like to learn how to play it. How difficult an instrument is it to learn how to play? How does the saxophone compare to other musical instruments in terms of difficulty of learning? |
Surprised u guys are graduates and u couldn't come up with a better catch phrase If u're guys are going to protest, do it right |
I think the question is "are his political opponents guilty?" if yes and most likely is, then I doesn't matter who is funding it as long as they are prosecuted. Or would u rather he funds it with the money Nigeria doesn't even have enough of? |
DrayDDon:If this is truly ur result and u can't rate urself, then maybe u're not as smart as u think or u just posted it to brag/impress And u're doing Geography try something harder |

Herdsmen are business men. Should we just give our lands out for reserves cos the asked politely, they should buy land and graze, I wanna start a farm, u don't see the government running around trying to get me a land why should it be any different for Herdsmen |
Firstly, I disagree with putting accounting on the list, do u even hv any idea how many pple study accounting cos it's easy and how any decent accounting software could do what they do?, Say dat rubbish abt Mech is unfair, Mech is just as valid as Elect, and in most University Mechanical takes less students dan electrical cos of the level of difficulty and facilities required to train them I mean u hv a better chance of getting admission for Electrical than Mech, And Nursing, are u kidding me, even nurses don't wanna be nurses cos of the treatment they get in pay and lack of respect for their jobs, Dude just go to hospitals and see the behaviour of nurses out of frustration Finding job all over is hard in Nigeria, there is no course in Nigeria u study dat u won't find it hard to look for job especially if u study courses dat hv high number of graduates like accounting, business administration, computer science etc |
tit:If paid normally Dangote 's taxes won't be used to provide services all over the nation, it will be pocked by a corrupt govt official or politician at least dis way something gets done plus who to u he pays taxes b4. Recently FIRS said big corporation don't pay their taxes by bribing officials, globacom lagos office was closed down a couple of wks ago for 24bn worth of tax, so was Nicon luxury and Nicon Insurance for 60bn over the past 10yrs |
IRserveMyComent:First I must say am not one to judge the way anyone lives their lives, it's simply their choice But sex isn't a loaf of bread u just give away, it's more of "tango" dance, Wat am trying to say is relationship is all abt sharing in all things money, love, joy, sadness etc and even sex if u both decided it's the way to go, it shouldn't be one sided |
[quote author=aresa post=45787028][/quote]Lightyear is a unit of length not time |
obongtunji:Since nobody said it u're a Douchebag, he/she was just trying to help and u attacked him/her. Next time u feel the urge to say something do us all a favour keep it to urself u Simpleton |
