Lets say you had a bad CGPA in school and decide to go for your masters to get a better chance in the job market.

Does it work like that. Will your employer overlook your undergrad degree or will it even be requested for.

Breaking out of your routine or comfort
zone can feel scary, but sometimes it's a
necessary and helpful step, especially
when it comes to your birth control.
Research will help you narrow down
your options, but trying various birth
control methods for 8 to 12 weeks is the
most effective way to find the one the
best fits your body and lifestyle,
University of Illinois at Chicago
gynecologist Dr. Jessica Shepherd told
Insider.
"I think that there's a comfort level when
you think of birth control," based on
what an individual's parents or
education exposed them to, Shepherd
said, adding that someone's hesitancy to
switch up their routine could also
contribute to a lack of experimentation.
But there are plenty of reasons you may
want to consider trying a new one.


*You bleed through tampons
Shepherd said in her experience,
undesired period symptoms, like
excessive bleeding to the point of
consistently soaking through an entire
large tampon, are a common reason
birth-control users switch methods.
For some, the hormones in birth control
pills and hormone-containing
intrauterine devices (IUDs), like
progestin and estrogen, can minimize
menstrual bleeding .


*Your menstrual cramps are very bad
Painful period cramps could be another
symptom-related reason to swap
methods, according to Shepherd.
Hormone-containing birth control
methods including the pill, NuvaRing,
some IUDs, and the arm implant can
lighten some people's periods, which
leads to less menstrual cramping . Others
might experience more irregular periods
when switching to hormonal methods
though, which is why it's important to
try a method for 8 to 12 weeks before
considering side effects and deciding to
move onto something else, Shepherd
said.
Additionally, ome people with
endometriosis, or when uterine tissue
grows outside of the uterus and causes
extreme pelvic cramps, who switched to
hormonal IUDs from other birth-control
methods reported less debilitating pelvic
pain .


*You forget to take your daily pill
Your current birth-control method might
not mesh well with your habits or
current routine, and that's a great reason
to consider other methods, said
Shepherd.
If you forget to take your daily birth
control at least once a week, rendering it
ineffective, for example, or travel often
for work and find it difficult to get a
prescription refill when you run out of a
month's supply of pills, a more long-
acting option could better suit you,
according to Shepherd.


*You've been recently diagnosed with high
blood pressure or hypertension
Birth control methods that have both
estrogen and progestin, plus some with
only estrogen, aren't suited for people
with certain health conditions, Shepherd
said.
That's because the hormones in these
medications can increase a predisposed
person's risk of blood clots, heart attack,
liver tumors, and stroke .
If you've been diagnosed with high blood
pressure, diabetes, liver disease, breast
cancer, or blood clots, it's best to use
non-hormonal methods like the copper
Paragard IUD or progestin-only methods
like the arm implant, according to
Shepherd.


*You just got into a serious relationship
If you've recently gotten into a serious
long-term relationship and want a more
fool-proof method than condoms or the
pill, it could be worth switching to an
IUD, implant, or vaginal ring because
they all last multiple years, according to
Shepherd.
"If it's someone who is longterm and you
both have decided for family planning
that that's in the future, but not right
now, then that would be a good time to
consider something that's long-acting,"
she said.

My friend says he needs options.
budget of 20k to 35k
Android
high quality.
Please specify those stated.

I hear this a lot.
You see uneducated or drop outs people who made it in life say it
Yet educated or exposed people say same too.
You see papilo for sun day and night.
Yet you also see chief for office signing documents.

I had a boss who had a wine cellar with expensive champagne. But we all knew he doesn't drink. Confirmed by people close to him. Even in the office during breaks.

I find it hard to say I am attracted to a girl if I don't fantasize and ogle over her body.

I feel I need to see those features to build excitement, to want to talk to her.

but you know religion tells you otherwise. how is it even possible.

He doesn't rock me well
likee what does that mean.
how do you rock someone well.

So my sister put to birth yesterday and I couldn't take the thought of how and why a certain name is given to a child.

like how do you come up with names on the spot and also importantly the meaning attached to it.

Do you backup name options before the child arrives or is there something am missing.

Robert De Niro Says He'll Be
"Lucky" To Earn $7 Million This
Year Due To Coronavirus
Home › Articles › Celebrity News
July 18, 2020 by Joseph Gibson
If you've been struggling to make ends meet
financially over the past several months due to the
coronavirus pandemic, take heart, because you are
not alone: Page Six reports that actor Robert De
Niro is claiming in court that he'll be "lucky" if he
makes $7.5 million in 2020, due to the
coronavirus's effects on not just his film projects
but his restaurant and hotel investments as well.
It happened in court, where De Niro's estranged
wife Grace Hightower asked the judge presiding
over the former couple's ongoing divorce for an
emergency extension of her American Express
monthly credit line – from $50,000 back up to
$100,000, where it was previously. Through her
attorneys, Hightower alleged that De Niro cut her
monthly credit from $100,000 to $50,000 for no
good reason, but De Niro's attorneys argue that the
cut happened because COVID-19 has taken a big
bite out of his usual income, particularly from his
investments in New York restaurant chain Nobu
and the Greenwich Hotel.

De Niro's primary divorce attorney, Caroline Krauss,
told the judge that Nobu in particular has been
losing a ton of money over the last several
months, and that De Niro had to borrow $500,000
from various associates in order to pay the other
investors and keep the restaurants afloat. She also
cited the former couple's 2004 prenuptial
agreement, which evidently calls for De Niro to pay
Hightower at least $1 million a year as long as his
income is at $15 million a year or more – a figure
that Krauss says he's got no chance of hitting in
2020:
"His accounts and business manager … says that
the best case for Mr. De Niro, if everything starts
to turn around this year, … he is going to be
lucky if he makes $7.5 million this year."
Of course, De Niro is still a working actor, but
Krauss says that his biggest recent project, The
Irishman for Netflix, has already paid out the bulk
of what it's going to for De Niro's leading role in
the film, for which he's got around $2.5 million
coming for this year and next. And De Niro's next
project was supposed to be filming now, but
production has been suspended due to the virus.
As you might imagine, Hightower's attorney Kevin
McDonough sees things differently calling the
notion "that Mr. De Niro is tightening his belt" to
be "ridiculous." He went on:
"I'm not a believer that a man who has an
admitted worth of $500 million and makes $30
million a year, all of a sudden in March he needs
to cut down [spousal support] by 50 percent and
ban her from the house."
The court's temporary ruling was something of a
compromise between De Niro and Hightower. The
judge ruled that De Niro can keep the monthly
credit limit at $50,000, but that he should hand
over an immediate $75,000 payment in order for
her and their two kids (who are 8 and 21 years
old) to pay for a summer home.


https://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/celebrity/robert-de-niro-says-hell-be-lucky-to-earn-7-million-this-year-due-to-coronavirus/




She said that 'these people' - seemingly a reference
to Hightower and their children - placed great
financial demands on De Niro, preventing him from
retiring.
'These people, in spite of his robust earnings, have
always spent more than he has earned,' Krauss
said, according to the paper.
'So this 76-year-old robust man couldn't retire even
if he wanted to because he can't afford to keep up
with his lifestyle expense.'
She said that De Niro has begun cutting back his
own spending 'dramatically.'

PA stands for Personal Assistant
EA stands for Executive Assistant
I see them used on similar occasions. why so many terms

I was researching years back and I came across an article that said that to be rich in America you have to be rich you need a worth of $2M ,some other article said $1M. But non was past $3M.

So let's estimate $3M to be able to live a decent life in America. Buy a home. Car. Pay off loans and all. Including vacations.

Though I would have and use to think it would have been more than.

I had in mind maybe $100M.

Mind you that $3M is for normal life necessities not a private jet or island or boat or any frivolous luxuries.

So what do you think how much will it take a typical Nigerian in worth to live a standard life.
Buying a house. Car. Children school. Family vaca. One time vacations. And all.

What do you think be our brothers keeper

I have made up my mind. Anywhere I see young people being harassed by police on the road, I will park and intervene. I won’t drive on and think it doesn’t concern me. The next victim can be my family. We must put an end to police brutality
Bayo adeyinka.

As the title says...You cant get pregnant by cuming in the ass unless semen rolls down to the vee. it just can't happen.

like if you don't want to get pregnant why not just go ahead with one style which has variety though(if u know how to)

why go through stress of postinor n co

I have made up my mind. Anywhere I see young people being harassed by police on the road, I will park and intervene. I won’t drive on and think it doesn’t concern me. The next victim can be my family. We must put an end to police brutality
Bayo adeyinka
In light of the SARS wars...

Don't get me wrong. I have good intentions.

Babe argues that no drink in this country gets her to that tipping ,black out point where she can loose guard.

And I think I believe her. Babe can drink like say nothing dey happen.

So ladies and guys who have insight.

Guys it's been months since the whole NDDC fiasco and nothing new has come out. Contractors are still being owed no new development. Nothing.

My uncle did a job for them 7 years ago and is still being owed. I mean that 7 damn years.
He had to fund part of the project as per contract agreement. This money was in millions. And no reimbursement.

He has begged, tried a failed lawsuit. Everything yet nothing.

Do we have people here who have worked for fed government, contract jobs mostly NDDC.
What was your experience like.

Key Takeaway...
*Dangote still in charge
*Where did Alakija go
*South Africa still dominating by number, Egypt on follow up
*Africa has no tech billionaire yet.

This month's campaign of ‘No simping’
ostensibly encourages men to stop
spending money on lewd pictures of
female strangers online. But opponents
say it is also about re-asserting male
dominance.
Whether you look at modern relationships
or any sort of interactions between men
and women in the digital age, it's safe to
say that things are a little strange –
pecifically in the realm of what we would
call ‘adult entertainment’. With the
internet, it couldn't be easier to get your
hands on anything pornographic that you
want.
There are thousands of women who sell
anything from lewd content to outright
porn of themselves online. Many of them
aren't even pornstars. And we see men
spending thousands of dollars on this
content. This is where ‘No Simp
September’ comes in.
If you were to look up ‘No Simp
September’ on Google, you're mostly
going to find a whole lot of people joking
about it on Twitter. But those taking it
seriously say that it is about men putting
themselves – and their priorities – first.
“Simping is ultimately when you put her
priority above your own,” explains
YouTuber Troy Francis . He encourages
men to eschew giving women “free
attention ,” “complimenting too much ” or
putting in “too much investment… unless
you are getting something back .” He
warns, “It makes you unattractive… that
you put someone else above you… you are
signaling you don’t value yourself.”
On the Reddit board r/NoSimpSeptember ,
there’s a set of rules for those who wish
to participate in the campaign. The main
goal here is to break young men away
from spending catastrophic amounts of
money on what could basically be
described as online strippers.

There is an emphasis on exactly how
unhealthy this is. In fact, I would compare
it to the NoFap community that I wrote
about months ago . There are several
occurrences online of men spending
thousands upon thousands of dollars on
semi-pornographic content. The website
OnlyFans (which allows users to upload
lewd or pornographic content as a
subscription or pay-per-view service) has
grown to over 30 million users during the
Covid pandemic. Though spending limits
have recently been created because of
the Bella Thorne controversy, they may
not do much to stem the tide.
Looking at the rules, which include a
specific “no porn” one, it’s obvious that
the men participating do not want you to
be looking online at women whatsoever,
lest you spend your hard-earned money to
see the lady’s butt. There’s another diktat
that urges participants to spend time with
their families. It all comes across as a bit
of a conservative message when it
comes to sex and relationships.
There is a swath of young men out there
that spend so much hard-earned money
on women who would never look at them
with any sort of interest out on the street.
It reminds me of the time I took a one-
night bouncing gig for a strip club. Being
a man whose body type can best be
described as ‘gorilla’, it wasn't uncommon
for me to take such bouncing jobs back
in the day.
One particular thing that has stuck with
me to this day is seeing college students
spend hundreds of dollars to see a
woman naked, and walking home with
nothing more than a fading memory and
empty pockets. Every single day, we are
seeing the exact same thing online
through this ‘simping’. This is being done
instead of actually going out and talking
to women. It does not seem to
encourage the development of healthy
relationships or building an actual future
with someone you care about. It gives a
temporary dopamine hit but ultimately
becomes like a drug.

Leaving aside the wider no-simp ideology
of people like Troy Francis, It seems to
me that a bit of “no paying to watch ”
might actually be a good thing, and that
young men should start going through a
detox of sorts from this kind of content. If
more and more young men start to ‘simp’,
you're going to have more and more
young men who check out of
relationships entirely.
They will become hooked on pay-per-
view content and see their life's savings
drift away just because they paid
somebody to keep seeing their boobs. It's
a sad state of affairs, which cannot be
good for the males involved. Or the
females objectifying and selling their
bodies for money.

My Take...
*I laughed when I saw this post I just had to post it here and I totally agree with it, just days ago I saw how a celebrity earned $2M in a week from online subscription site OnlyFans and how another was saying she was building her second house on income from the site alone and it got me thinking that her viewers are men only maybe a few lesbians because she posts sexual contents
incase you didn't grab you pay to unlock picture or video or adult entertainers or porn stars now celebrities on OnlyFans.
let me stop here...

Having racked up almost seven decades' worth
of of competition, Formula 1 has naturally
witnessed the rise and fall of many weird and
wonderful individuals. While we are legally
obliged to note that most of the people who
pass through the sport are upstanding sorts, in
possession of their mental faculties and all the
correct paperwork, it is also fair to say that
there have been a dubious few whose motives
and methods were not entirely honest.
Among the most interesting characters to tread
the grand prix paddock was Prince Malik Ado
Ibrahim, a man whose true reasons for
immersing himself in grand prix racing are still
not entirely clear almost 20 years after his
involvement both began and ended.
Let us travel back to 1999, a time when Lewis
Hamilton was still racing go-karts and Bernie
Ecclestone was a youthful 66-year-old. This
was the season in which McLaren legend Mika
Hakkinen secured his second world title for the
Woking-based squad, though Eddie Irvine
pushed him hard for it. We are more interested
in what was happening at the back of the grid,
however. Then as now, there was a struggling
team with a striking orange and black livery
and uncompetitive motors. Whereas in 2017
that team is McLaren, in 1999 it was Arrows.
By the late nineties Arrows were grand prix
stalwarts of more than 20 years. Despite their
longevity the team had not won a race and had
been through their fair share of financial woes
and ownership changes, including a stint under
the stewardship of a Japanese logistics
company. (It was during this spell that they
fielded Taki Inoue, a man most famous for
being hit by a course car on two separate
occasions).
In 1996 they were purchased by racing stalwart
Tom Walkinshaw, who pulled of an incredible
coup by signing reigning world champion
Damon Hill for the 1997 season. Though Hill
came within a few kilometres of winning the
Hungarian Grand Prix, the relationship was
largely unsuccessful – not to mention
expensive for the team – and the Englishman
jumped ship for Eddie Jordan's outfit at the
end of the year. In 1998 they returned to
relative anonymity and continued to struggle
financially.

But for 1999 there would be fresh investment
from a mysterious African royal. Step forward
Prince Malik.
Malik was educated privately in Britain, though
no one is quite certain where, and claimed to
be a prince of the Igbira people. It is likely that
this was true, though given that there are at
least 75 different royal families in his native
Nigeria it's not quite the same as William
Windsor showing up at the factory gates and
promising to sink some of granny's money into
your F1 team. Malik also claimed to have
contested the Le Mans 24 Hours, which though
not impossible lacks anything by way of proof.
Honest or not, Arrows found him difficult to
ignore. Malik was promising an investment of
some $125 million, which at the time could
have transformed the team's fortunes, allowing
them to sign better drivers and pay for
competitive engines. Walkinshaw duly accepted
and Malik came on board for 1999. He'd
convinced banking giants Morgan Grenfell to
help him in the deal, which gave him
somewhere between 10 and 30 per cent of the
team (numbers vary too much to be certain).
The 1999 Arrows was aesthetically striking,
with the rear half retaining the previous
season's black and white livery and the front
painted bright orange in deference to Repsol,
who sponsored new signing Pedro de la Rosa.
These days it is considered to be something of
a cult classic, though this has nothing to do
with its on-track performances.

This did not seem to concern Malik, who
proceeded to hire a pricey PR agency that he
set the task of making him "as famous as
Eddie Jordan". But while he was undoubtedly
an attention seeker, Malik was not planning to
simply sit on the pitwall and enjoy the perks of
his investment. He claimed that he would raise
funds through the creation of the T-Minus
brand, which first appeared on the car's
sidepods at the San Marino Grand Prix (there
had previously been a strange countdown motif
in its place). T-Minus planned to make money
by launching an energy drink and selling re-
branded products such as clothing and
motorcycles. The fact that you have never
heard of it should be a clue to its eventual
success; the veteran F1 journalist Joe Saward
later reported that T-Minus 'raised absolutely
no money.' (However, it is worth pointing out
that the author of this piece still has a can of
the energy drink in a box somewhere,
unopened, retained for posterity).
It wasn't just the business plan that didn't
work: performances on the circuit were woeful,
too. A high attrition rate allowed De la Rosa to
score a point on his F1 debut – a distinction
he shares with rather more illustrious names
like Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel – but
the Spaniard did not repeat the result all year.
His teammate, the enigmatic Japanese driver
Toranosuke "Tiger" Takagi, fared even worse.
Ultimately, they scored only a single point in
1999.
By late in the season, with the reality of the
situation dawning on the team, Malik was
suddenly nowhere to be found. When he failed
to complete the purchase of his shares by a
pre-arranged September deadline, Tom
Walkinshaw effectively retook control of the
them and the T-Minus branding vanished from
the car (replaced by Morgan Grenfell, who had
backed Malik's purchase and eventually took
Arrows to court). The Prince had left the
paddock.
The rather sad postscript to this is that Arrows
never really recovered from the false promise
of investment. They soldiered on for another
two and a half years, but ultimately shut their
doors during the 2002 season. Walkinshaw's
racing business also took a considerable hit;
the man himself died in 2010, aged 64.
But while Arrows vanished from the racing
scene, Malik did not. In 2008 he was in court
on charges of stealing money that was given to
him to develop the career of young NASCAR
driver. Malik was cleared, but was not able to
leave the Texas jail where he was being held
as he was required to post bail of $35,000 in
connection with a number of perjury charges for
false statements he allegedly made during the
lead up to his trial.

In January 2010 he was working for renewable
energy company The Bridge, of which he was
co-founder; a warrant was issued for his arrest
after a Texan district attorney received claims
that Malik had stolen over $200,000 during his
probationary period. The outcome of this trial
is not readily available, though as of 2017 he
remains a mover in Nigeria's sustainability
sector, working for Nigus Greenenergy.
What was Malik doing in F1? It is possible that
he truly believed he could make the T-Minus
venture work, that enough people would be
willing to buy expensive motorcycles with the
name of a brand they had never heard of
emblazoned across the side. It is possible, too,
that he simply fancied spending some time in
the glamorous world of Formula 1, that he
dreamed of strolling the grid with royalty and
A-listers at the Monaco Grand Prix. Or perhaps
his motives were more sinister; we cannot
know, because Malik has never discussed his
time in the sport. What we can take away from
this story is the enduring truth of an old adage:
if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

My Take...

*He's the guy that's about to marry an indimi(hope say problem no go bust out)

*Why do Nigeria(home and abroad) always end up in mess like this.

In the weeks since the discovery of
the dismembered and burned remains
of Vanessa Guillen, a Fort Hood
soldier who disappeared on April 22,
outrage has spread from central Texas
to Washington, where her family met
with President Trump and
demonstrators have planned a march
to demand justice for her killing this
week.
Specialist Guillen’s case has captured
the attention of celebrities, lawmakers
and other public figures, and drawn
particular outrage from women in the
military and Latinos. Specialist
Guillen’s family has raised allegations
that before she was killed she had
been sexually harassed.
Activists have expressed outrage at
the lack of answers and action from
the military when Specialist Guillen
first disappeared and have called for
changes in how the military handles
reports of sexual harassment and
assault and ramping up the military’s
own #MeToo moment.
Specialist Guillen’s bones, hair and
other remains were found at the end
of June. A federal complaint alleges
that a soldier — who fatally shot
himself with a pistol as the police
approached him — killed Specialist
Guillen at Fort Hood, hid her body in
a large box and attempted to
dismember and burn her remains
with his girlfriend.
Here is what we know about the case.
Who was Specialist
Guillen?
Specialist Guillen was born and raised
in Houston with five siblings. Her
mother, Gloria Guillen, said she had
an interest in the military since
childhood, when she would play with
her brother’s toy pistol. Despite her
mother’s reservations, she decided to
enlist at 18.
Specialist Guillen was athletic. She
enjoyed lifting weights, played soccer,
and ran on track and cross-country
teams.
Specialist Guillen’s mother said she
had enjoyed attending church with
her daughter. A memorial at her home
was surrounded by angels and figures
of the Virgin Mary, which Specialist
Guillen wore on a gold necklace that
she never removed.
One person has been
charged.
Prosecutors announced a charge in
the case on July 2, detailing for the
first time accusations that Specialist
Guillen was killed by another soldier
who then tried to dispose of her
remains.
In a federal complaint, the accused
soldier was identified as U.S. Army
Specialist Aaron Robinson, 20. A few
days before the charge was
announced, Specialist Robinson killed
himself with a pistol as the police
approached.
The authorities also arrested his
girlfriend, Cecily Aguilar, in Killeen,
Texas. Justice Department officials
said in court documents that Specialist
Robinson told Ms. Aguilar that he
repeatedly struck Specialist Guillen on
the head with a hammer, killing her,
and hid her body in a large box. The
couple then tried to dismember and
burn the remains, according to the
complaint.
If Ms. Aguilar, a civilian, is convicted
of the charge against her, conspiracy
to tamper with evidence, she faces a
maximum sentence of 20 years. A
lawyer for Ms. Aguilar did not
immediately respond to a request for
comment on Tuesday.
How did Specialist Guillen
disappear?
Specialist Guillen was last seen
around noon on April 22 in the
parking lot of her squadron’s
headquarters at Fort Hood.
Investigators who searched her phone
found that the last person she texted
was Specialist Robinson.
Specialist Robinson worked in a
building at Fort Hood that was
adjacent to where Specialist Guillen
worked, according to Special Agent
Damon Phelps of the Criminal
Investigation Command. He was not
Specialist Guillen’s superior and was
not in her chain of command, Mr.
Phelps said at a news conference.
A witness told investigators that
Specialist Guillen left the arms room
where she had been working and
went to the arms room controlled by
Specialist Robinson to confirm serial
numbers for weapons and equipment,
the complaint said.
Specialist Robinson later said he read
her the serial numbers and gave her
paperwork, according to court
documents. He said he read
her the serial numbers and gave her
paperwork, according to court
documents. He said he believed she
then left to go to the motor pool.
Two witnesses later said that on the
same day, they saw Specialist
Robinson coming out of the arms
room, pulling a large “tough box”
with wheels “that appeared very
heavy in weight,” according to the
complaint.
How the search unfolded.
Specialist Guillen was reported
missing on April 23. Her car keys,
room key, ID and wallet were found
in the armory room where she had
been repairing small arms and
artillery.
On April 24, the U.S. Army Criminal
Investigation Command posted a news
release asking for the public’s help in
finding her. Thousands of soldiers
searched for Specialist Guillen in
buildings, barracks, fields, training
areas, lakes and trails at Fort Hood.
On June 30, human remains were
found near the Leon River in Bell
County, Texas. On July 3, the Army
confirmed that the remains were
Specialist Guillen’s.
Here’s the latest on the
investigation.
Specialist Guillen told friends and
fellow soldiers at her base that she
had been sexually harassed, Ms.
Khawam said. Specialist Guillen did
not make an official report about
sexual harassment, Fort Hood officials
have said.
Fort Hood officials said on July 6 that
they would complete an investigation
into Specialist Guillen’s accusations of
sexual harassment and would seek a
review of their sexual harassment and
sexual assault response and
prevention program to address any
shortcomings.

The accusations against
Ms. Aguilar.
When Specialist Guillen disappeared,
Ms. Aguilar, 22, was living with
Specialist Robinson, according to the
complaint.
Prosecutors said in court documents
that she initially lied to investigators
about what she knew but on June 30
confessed to playing a role in the
disposal of Specialist Guillen’s body.
On July 14, Ms. Aguilar was indicted
by a grand jury at the U.S. District
Court in Waco, Texas, on charges
related to tampering with documents
or proceedings, including the body of
Specialist Guillen. Ms. Aguilar pleaded
not guilty on all counts. A judge did
not grant bail for Ms. Aguilar.
Ms. Aguilar told investigators that
Specialist Robinson had picked her up
late on April 22 or early on April 23 at
the gas station where she worked.
Ms. Aguilar said she helped Specialist
Robinson dismember the body with
an ax or hatchet and a machete-style
knife, according to the complaint. The
couple buried the remains near the
Leon River, it said.
Investigators told her to call Specialist
Robinson. During the conversation, he
denied doing anything to Specialist
Guillen.
But he later texted Ms. Aguilar
pictures of news articles about the
discovery of human remains near the
river.
“Baby they found pieces,” court
documents quote him as saying
during a phone call with Ms. Aguilar,
which investigators were monitoring.
“They found pieces.”
Here’s what comes next.
Members of Specialist Guillen’s family
met with President Trump on July 30
at the White House. At the meeting,
her mother asked for his help in
finding the truth and justice.
Mr. Trump said that Specialist
Guillen’s story “hit me very hard,”
and that she was “a spectacular
person and respected and loved by
everybody, including in the military.”
He said the F.B.I. and Justice
Department were now involved in
addition to officials at Fort Hood, he
said. “We’ll get to the bottom of it,”
he said. “Maybe things can come out
that will help other people in a
situation like Vanessa.”
The bill, named
“#IAmVanessaGuillen” after a hashtag
that encouraged military members to
talk about their own sexual
harassment and sexual assault
experiences, is still in its early stages.
If passed, it would allow for the
creation of a third-party agency to
which active-duty service members
could report allegations of sexual
harassment and sexual assault.
Separately, on July 10, the secretary of
the Army ordered an independent
review of Fort Hood’s command
culture.
July 10, the secretary of
the Army ordered an independent
review of Fort Hood’s command
culture.
At the White House meeting, Mr.
Trump offered to help financially with
Specialist Guillen’s funeral after he
asked when and where it would take
place. A funeral has not been held
because the family is awaiting the
remains. The family said it wanted to
hold the funeral in Houston.
“And if I can help you out with the
funeral, I’ll help — I’ll help you with
that,” Mr. Trump said. “Financially, I’ll
help you.”
Among other politicians and
lawmakers conveying their
disappointment with the case was
former Vice President Joseph R. Biden
Jr., the presumptive Democratic
nominee. “We owe it to those who put
on the uniform, and to their families,
to put an end to sexual harassment
and assault in the military, and hold
perpetrators accountable,” he said in
a statement on July 3.

please answers mine isn't going

angelEmade:
Someone once posted here on nairaland that every girl has a certain degree of lesbianism tendency. While I am not so sure for every other girl, it is especially true for me. Growing up, I have always been more attached to the ladies, apparently the only guys in my life are my Dad and cousin. (Family ties) Not like I have ever done it with ladies but I have kissed my girlfriend several times before especially back then in the toilet lobby of our classical high school and in the observatory where we got to spend many nights together. I have had ladies touched me in a weird way too like rubbing on my n*** and I let it pass with a smile even in medical school. (Apparently most guys from my class in medical school are desensitized and hardly get aroused even when they see a naked lady lol that's why the ladies are the big hit #winks if you know what i mean)....but somehow,any form of penetration or touchings down there have always been so dreadful to me.
*
So last week my parents took a trip outta town. It's a trip they've been xoxo waiting for but since flight operations are still very awful right now (thanks to the pandemic) they contracted a designation driver to drive them. Now this is where things started happening...My dad prefers older drivers for experience reasons but this one driver, a student happens to be a very handsome dude! Dark skinned, tall, cute beards, blue eyes! gaped teeth, nice dress, 'galax' haircut or whatever they call it lol and a subtle naturally cute lips. He has a split chin too! But the most lovely thing about him was his feminine looks. (Yes i hate muscular guys with passion like they make me squirm!!!) But he is not so lean just that he has a feminine kind of face.

Even my dad was like Imade stop staring at our guest and let him in! (That was when I was trying to open the door for him, he must have noticed my surprise and awkward amusement. Like my jaw dropping and wondering why Dad hired a young cute man to drive him this time lol)
The trip was very early the next day so he slept over. Before everyone went to sleep this guy and my cousin were actually doing lots of gists in the living room upstairs. I had to join them, their noises won't let me enjoy my own movie anyway and you know how boys behave when a football match is on the platter. Besides I wanted another chance of seeing his face.

Funny enough guy became mute when he sighted me oo acting funny so much that my cousin started laughing out loud lol
To make the atmosphere even more tensed, he stood up and left...when he was going to start climbing down the case he looked back and told his new found friend "she's a totally hard to get" lol Boy was so fucking wrong or maybe he trusted me too much lol I always say every girl has a price...

After five mins of silence, we talked about many things...school, life..., why he does designation driver jobs and what his family looks like. Then the big part ooo...we were doing a truth and dare game. I invited him to our study so i can lock the door on the pretense that we have to find my dad's best magazines and pack it along with his bags for the trip. The game was going on well at first...guy was even pretending like he was not interested and i only had my tube and pant on. (In the living room I was wearing my overall tie-knot coat which intentionally removed in the study) Although it's a swimmers pant and it's not the first time i have been so exposed in front of anyone. Things took a weird turn when i dared him to tell me his virginity status. (I was trying to give him green lights without asking for it directly) He smiled and actually said he is a pastor's son aspiring to become a pastor too. He in fact stated that he doesnt wanna be rude to me only cux he does not wanna loose the job to drive my dad the next day. it was annoying ehn...it's funny too cux it's the first time a guy is not interested in me even though i was half exposed...i can bet even my own cousin that i have known since age five will not think twice!

Well I am not a stupid girl and i know what I want. I like the idiot so he doesnt have the right to turn me down lol. My medical knowledge was a big leverage just one touch and he shouted ouch! dropped my tube and pressed my body against his chest...wow it is so true that men could go from zero to sixty in three seconds. One minute he was a preacher and the other minute he was sucking like a baby.
I feel thrilled to share this story. Sometimes later i might tell my dad too. He has been so worried ever since my cousin told him i do ladies and not men. But he didnt penetrate oooh! he didnt even see down there just a gentle rub* on my underwear. He is only a few seconds guy...or maybe i aroused him too much...few touchings to the base of his something and he was pouring all over the place. M not sure if he can still call himself a virgin after that night. Following day we both acted like nothing happened, even my inquisitive cousin suspected nothing (He is a big dumb-ass after all)
*
He gave me a few calls but m not picking somehow i don't love him only had sexual desires for him...even though till now i have always thought i cant do any guy unless emotional strings are attached...duurh i will gladly marry my annoying cousin ten times over and over before i even consider him. Maybe the way he reached climax too quickly pissed me off.
M very excited though cux i had been seeing two different psychologists about my sexuality and maybe this is a big progress. It didnt feel disgusting at all. It was lovely.

Very lovely

winnah:
This may be a bit lengthy permit me...

Am a banker from this new generation bank. There's this particular customer whom I used to admire so much sometimes 2018. I was always looking up for the slightest opportunity to secure a date with her. So one day when she came to my office to fix one or two issues.... As she was about living, she stopped at my desk and request for a lunch with me...

God!!! What just happened... I was so happy at the moment I couldn't say no...

As we were about living, she requested I should drive her car instead of mine because she wants to make a few calls..

While approaching our location I heard her talking to someone "please have you picked the children from school"?

I couldn't hold it back, so after the call, I asked her " you have kids" she said yes.. Meaning you are married, "she reluctantly rolled her eye boll and muted yes...)

I got so disappointed... But pretended has if I was fine.. I got to know that her husband is a mobile employee...
So after our meeting for that day, we never had such opportunity again to talk..

But just around November last year, I had a call and it was her.. She asked me to see her in her office that she has some cash which she won't have any need for may be till next year (about 8m) so I advised her to used the money an invest in treasury Bill (because as at that time, T.B rate was about 12%) and my bank Time Deposits was just 4%. she eventually did.. And she was very happy.
She called back around February this year that she has another 5m to invest in treasury Bill.. This time I told her not to because T.B is even as bad as fixed deposits. So I gave her other options which I considered they are much better than T.B and T.D.

Right they in my office, she sent me a text... And it reads, " Godwin am sorry am saying this, am not always coming here because I love your bank.. Anyway, thanks for all your fan. Services. But the truth is that I love you and I can't stop myself from thinking about you. Have lunch with me."
I couldn't resist her, so I told her to go that I'll join her once am free. Unfortunately she introduced me to her husband that day and this man has been so nice to me...

During the lockdown, she came visiting me in my apartment... Before I could offer her a seat, she started kissing me... God!!! Immediately I forgot the fact she's married,.... We didn't just have sex we made. But what got me surprise is the fact that a married lady with 2 kids was as tight as a virgin.. So I asked her when last she had sex... She told me a week ago...

At some point she was smiling sudden she began to cry... I felt disappointed of myself.. (I thought she was regretting it, but no. She turned to me and said " its been a long time I enjoyed sex, it's been a long time someone sucked my pussy, its been a long time I........my husband won't even suck my boobs... Is just to come on top me and less than a second... Rest are story... Pls don't leave me...

She's probably in her late 20s (may be 28 or 29)

She can't do a second without calling... I told her i dont want to continue in this because am feeling bad already..... And her only condition is for me to get her pregnant or get married to her sister...

I wish I can even help her to fixed her home... Left for me, am out...just blocked her form all channels though am seriously missing her.... I pray you lord to take away this feels away And I pray for your forgiveness...

op come and show me how to go about all this TB shii...

Married women sweet sha...she seems like one of those young ones...

So you carry am go Romance Section...Ode...

Well I think God is gay too so guess we all have opposing views than the norm...
