Apparently impressed with the mammoth crowd that graced the first major APC Southeast mega rally for President Muhammadu Buhari, the newly elected national Chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress, His Excellency, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has given a clear indication that he would prefer to work with the Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha as the Director-general of President Buhari’s Campaign Organization instead of former governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi who has been parading himself as such.

Comrade Oshiomhole who is clearly focused on strengthening the Party and returning it to the masses for whom the Party was original envisioned was a special guest at the hugely successful mega rally for President Muhammadu Buhari, which was hosted in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Speaking during the rally, the former President of the Nigerian Labour Congress and immediate past governor of Edo State, praised the leadership and visionary credentials of the Imo State governor and encouraged him to continue to lead the way for Igbos to follow. He was accompanied to the mega rally by most members of the APC National Working Committee, including the National Organizing Secretary, Emma Ibediro, National Auditor, George Muoghalu and national vice Chairman, Southeast, Emma Eneukwu. The former labor leader charged all members of the APC in the Southeast to dissolve into the leadership of Owelle Rochas Okorocha as he has shown sterling leadership qualities and credentials.

The rejection of Rotimi Amaechi as DG of the President’s Campaign Organization may not be unconnected to the Transportation Minister’s several anti-democratic and anti-Party activities and utterances in recent times. Some commentators have also pointed out that the former Rivers governor has set himself as an embarrassment to the cooperate image of the Party and a disloyal appointee of the President and Commander in Chief, arguing that such a person cannot lead a successful campaign for the re-election of the President.

Governor Rochas Okorocha on the other hand has married himself completely to the vision of the Party and the President Muhammadu Buhari administration. He has shown an undeniable readiness to sacrifice even his personal ambitions to ensure the overall success of the Party and the President.

Kyle ADESANMI Mbappe...Cameroon/Algeria/Nigeria.Are you ok now

Not to derail the thread,next time i will tell you how Mbappe is a Nigerian.

Remember he has a brother named ADEYEMI Mbappe.

Let's enjoy France/Uruguay match.

You must explain it now or keep quite for the rest of ur life.

I know some people would come out and say Jade has smoked her morning weed but like it or not a serious relationship isn't meant for students.

Imagine an average student who still depends on his parents for pocket money to buy handout talking about love, what do you understand by love? This generation has birthed people who now prefer actions to shakespare tales.
Your folks send you 5k to buy handouts,that money also includes pocket money to buy beans and t-fair, now tell me where does expenses for your so called babe come in? Oh u didn't think she would ask for recharge card right? She's always looking pretty and yours is to compliment not knowing those weekends she sneaks out is to go see her real boyfriend while you claiming love. After deceiving you, you rush here to create threads "the b.itch asked for recharge card,am I her father"

You think the scholars don't know what they are doing by not having relationships until after landing that chevron job? Girls are not smiling these days,its the hard truth. She would stick to you when she isn't yet exposed but once that exposure comes due to friends or peer pressure forget it! Love is a game don't be deceived,the highest bidder gets it all,while you are cursing and swearing she's having fun.

Cut your coat according to your size! Your wives are still in secondary school not the babes you are parading presently. If u ain't from affluent homes, not a yahoo boy, not into any business while schooling, you have no business having a serious relationship! You can have friends with benefits or flings as far as you play your game well.

80percent of relationships don't work after graduation, your so called bae may see a better bae and flee because time isn't on her side,stop wasting your emotions on fruitless relationships that would end at the gate. Read very well, f.uck that bff and come out with excellent grades, thank me later! I'm tired of seeing heartbroken childish threads from broke guys complaining about cheating girlfriends when you ain't worthy of having one the first place.

A relationship can be solid and will continue to grow only if the core of your relationship is strong. A strong relationship leads to a life-long relationship. It needs equal participation from both partners as well as mutual understanding, communication, and of course lots and lots of love. So, I’m going to briefly go through some points that can make your relationship stronger.

1. Communication
This is the leading key to your relationship. Sit down, breathe and talk. Let them know everything. Your wildest fears and your strongest memories. It is needful that you communicate to avoid the misunderstandings, assuming and misconceptions. Talking out the problem helps a lot. And talk even if there is no problem.

2. Loving Yourself
It is the building block of your relationship. You cannot love anyone else if you do not love yourself. Loving yourself is essential. Building your own identity, finding yourself, understanding yourself is the road to doing the same to your partner. To be accepted you have to accept yourself first.

3. Trust
It is the biggest thing in a relationship. Be it a long distance relationship or a short one, trust is the survival force for it all. It is very important to be faithful and honest in a relationship. Do not cheat. If you feel out of it or want a break, talk it out but never do something to break the other’s trust. It is the most fragile thing and can be broken like stitches.

4. Listening
Another strong force is the listening force. Give your undivided attention to your partner and try not to interrupt when they are talking. It makes them feel assured that there is someone at the end of the day to share their burdens and happiness. Just listen patiently.

5. Dates
Dates are not only hanging out at expensive places or going for a movie or planning something once in a while. You can spend time together at your home or go for little walks or sit together and read. Small trivial things can make up dates. The goal is to spend time. Ignoring or meeting up occasionally are not signs of a healthy relationship.

6. Equality
Treating your other half as equal is a necessary ingredient for a strong relationship. Share everything-the workload, bills, cooking, taking each other on dates, buying flowers, taking care. Every aspect should be given equal treatment. It creates a balance.

7. Encouragement
It is very necessary to uplift your partner. It can be in any manner but the aspect of being there and being supportive is essential. Never drag them down or abuse them in any way. Encouraging them for petty things can also help them build themselves and their identity. Always be there.

8. Happiness
Bring them all the happiness in the world. Crack jokes and make them laugh even when they don’t want to. It shows them how invested you are in the relationship. Try to build a positive aura around them. Make them feel they are worth everything and will continue to be.

9. Protection
I have often noticed an insecurity blanket around couples. It is either due to lack of protection or due to feeling worthless. It is your duty to make them fell safe and secure, that there will be no harm against them.

10. Frankness
Always be open towards your partner. Don’t lie or hide anything. It is important to remain frank and set your cards on the table. Being open about your choices and ambitions does not make you look weak, it instead strengthens your relationship.

11. Acceptance
It is the basic need for a strong relationship. You accept the person just as they are and never point out their flaws. You never put them below yourself or let anyone put you below them. Another key rule is to never change yourself to suit someone else’s need. Self-acceptance is the greatest deed.

12. Affection
Showing affection is not counted as weak. Again, it makes the person feel loved and shows your investment in the relationship. Showering with occasional gifts, even if they are small, is must. Also, complementing them is necessary. It gives them a confidence boost.

13. Decision-Making
Strong relationships are the cause of equal decision making. Ask for each other’s advice. It is an honest, personal experience that when you involve the person in even the smallest matter, it makes them feel cared and loved for. It is a genuine key to strong relationships.

14. Meetings
It is very much needed that after a certain amount of time, you make your partner known to your family and friends. Though it is a big step, it assures the long lastingness of your relationship.

15. Fight
However worst your relationship turns into, fight for it till the very end. If it is worth all the pain, tears and blood, then fight for it. Regretting will lead you to nowhere. It will turn your life into a vicious circle.

16. Selfless
You might have to put your partner’s needs before you. Never hesitate in providing the best for them even if costs you a fortune. Be humble and gentle. Your emotions will only be reflected if it is shown in the first place.

17. Changes
Be very much open to changes. You will have to adjust and mold yourself if you enter a relationship and want it to last long. Even if it involves small placements, try to find a common ground. A balance which you both can create.

18. Strong
To be in a strong relationship, you have to be strong yourself. Falling in love is pure madness. It can make you scream in laughter and turn your insides until it aches. You have to be strong to face such a ride.

19. Sex
Physical contact takes your relationship to a whole new level. It is very necessary to have a strong physical and emotional connection for a healthy relationship. I think trying different methods or exploring the field with a passionate emotional connect can make your relationship stronger.

20. Hardships
Facing hardships together and emerging out of it as a team strengthens your bond. Coming out of the storm is definitely good but coming out holding hands is much more better. You need to walk together through everything.

21. Mutual Understanding
Lastly, there always has to be a common ground. Even if you tend to sway away sometimes, make sure there is a definite common base for both of you to return. The relationship is about both of you and not only one of you. So, to have a mutual understanding, the place between two extremes, is a must.

Getting a guy to ask you out isn’t that difficult, but sometimes we all feel a bit unsure and don’t know what to do, especially around a guy we really have a crush on. Lucky for you we compiled a couple of tips and tricks you can use whenever you’re in that situation. They’re all pretty easy and should get your message across without being obvious or having to go out on a limb and actually asking him out yourself.

1. Eye Contact
A lot of girls feel shy around guys they like, whether they’ve known them for a while or it’s a handsome stranger they’ve seen across the bar. They tend to look away, as soon as their crush looks at them. That sends the wrong message. Instead, try to make eye-contact. If it’s someone you’ve just seen across the room, and they happen to look at you too – hold the eye contact for a couple of seconds to let them know you’re interested. If it’s a person you know, look them in the eye when you’re talking to them. Don’t stare at them the whole time, that would be creepy, but make occasional eye contact.

2. Get A Friend To Help
If you have a crush on someone you already know, but you only hang out with them in a group, get a friend to comment that “you’d make a good couple” or “when will you two guys start dating already” at the right moment. Make sure it’s a casual comment, and it doesn’t seem staged. Sure it might be a little awkward and you can both laugh it off, but that thought might stick in the guy’s head.

3. Be Open
Sometimes it just so happens that the guy we like might be interested but is intimidated by your body language and the way you behave. Try to make yourself seem open to conversation. Don’t cross your arms, your body language matters. If he comes up to start a conversation, don’t give him short answers, instead try to prolong the dialogue, ask him questions too.

4. Don’t Complain Too Much
No one likes a negative Nancy. Sure, a healthy dose of cynicism and some self-deprecating humor never hurt anyone, but try not to spend the whole time complaining. If all you do is moan about the trouble at work, or how lame your friend is – you’re not gonna be that fun to hang out with. Make sure to share some happy stories too.

5. Show Your Wit
Your character and wit matter even more than your looks. If you have a witty sense of humor, make sure to showcase it in a conversation. Every guy will appreciate it. After all, we all just want someone fun and witty to hang out with. But don’t waste all your witticisms in one convo, you’re not a stand-up comedian, be subtle.

6. Classy, Not Trashy
There’s nothing wrong with showing off what your mama gave you, but try to do it in a classy way. There’s no need to show off all the goods at once with sinfully short minis and extra deep v-necks, that can send the wrong message and attract the wrong kind of guy. And let’s be honest, none of us wants to talk to sleazy players. A nice decolletage is good, but no one needs a neckline so deep your belly button is showing. Keep it classy, not trashy.

Do not get too comfortable.

A lot of times as women, we get comfortable after being with our loved one for some time. During this time we may gain weight, not do our hair every day, walk around in rollers and pajamas, or even stop cleaning up. We must not forget what attracted our men to us. This is how you need to remind him why he chose you in the first place. He still needs to be impressed. Remember when you first met him? You wouldn’t have been caught dead in that ratted bath robe or holy socks! Let’s get back to those days! I am not saying to dress up every day, but give him something to want to look at every morning, noon, and night. Just because we had a couple of kids doesn't mean we have to look like it. This will help you as well. This will remind you who you are, and that you still matter — not just as a wife or mother. Men, this is for you as well! We used to love seeing you dress up and take us out. Every once in a while you should lose the jogging pants and basketball shorts. We need impressing too!

2. Date night.

Pick a night that works for both of you. Make sure you have a responsible and reliable babysitter (if you have children). Go out for a couple of hours and enjoy being with each other. It is important you take time and give the attention you and your mate need and deserve. How many times a month you go out is up to you, but I would not make it less than two nights a month. This gives each other something to look forward to and it's really exciting to plan it!

3. Communication.

A lot of times, we expect our mate to know what is on our minds. It is wrong for anyone to assume the other know how to read minds. If something is going on you do not like, you need to express your concerns in a compassionate matter. There is nothing better than an understanding between two people. A lot of time just listening to the other is all we need to do. But we actually need to listen and never ignore. Communication after an argument is important too. The next day one of you may apologize, but the reason you are apologizing is important. Being aware of the problem and addressing it is the key to communication and this will work for any relationship.
Communication is so instrumental to any relationship. It is the only way to discover our likes and dislikes.

4. Surprises!

Keep the spice in the relationship with little surprises! These could include a surprise lunch at work, or little notes or quotes that you put somewhere for your love to find. Make a playlist of every song that reminds you of him or her These little thoughtful surprises will forever keep you embedded in their heart and mind.

5. Spice up your sex life!

Learn and try different sex positions or have sex in another room! Don’t keep the same routine. Try something you and your partner are comfortable with. Do not let boredom creep into the bedroom!

6. Get along with Mama!

Yes I said it. Nothing can put more strain on a relationship than when your partner does not get along with your mother or another family member. Can you imagine how your partner must feel being in the middle of two loved ones, feuding? Try to communicate and set boundaries for difficult family members. Always communicate your feelings. Do not suppress them. You do not want any build up, because that will lead to an emotional explosion either for you or the family member. And we do not want that.

7. The Golden Rule


Treat others how you want to be treated. If you want to be treated with love and respect, you have to show love and respect. Don’t be one way and expect your partner to be another...

Although love is the foundation of any happy romantic relationship, love is not enough. In order to have a healthy relationship, both parties have to be willing to work on it. Below you’ll find 5 ways to keep your relationship strong.

1.Take an interest in what interests them

My husband loves to golf and watch all sports on television. I had no interest in sports. Eventually, I realized how much he did for me and with me. One day I decided to take golfing lessons and watch sports with him.

2. Learn what pleases your partner sexually

 Make it clear that his pleasure is your pleasure, and you want to discover everything about what turns him on. He’ll be happy to have you experiment with him.

3. Practice gratitude

Don’t take your partner for granted. Keep a journal of the loving deeds your partner does. Practice gratitude together while riding in the car or taking a walk. One person states what they are grateful for and the other follows. Continue taking turns until you’ve exhausted every possibility. Your relationship will thrive.

4. Freedom

Being in a relationship requires connectedness and aloneness. It’s a great feeling when you can maintain your freedom and independence while also remaining deeply connected to your partner.

5. Get a Mentor

This is, and has been, my first move when I hit a challenge in my life, that feels greater than my capacity to overcome it. Find the world’s best expert in that particular area, and read their books, have a number of 1-on-1 sessions with them, and attend all of their workshops etc.[b]Although love is the foundation of any happy romantic relationship, love is not enough.

It can be really be hard to say no to some guys when they ask you out. They are often persistent and it is stressful to cut them off. Most girls would say yes to these guys because they can’t do the hard work involved with saying no, even when the guy is nothing close to what they want in a man. After some weeks, they get bored and start looking for a way to break things off with him. It can be a hard task looking for a man’s breaking point.
But not to worry, Ihave compiled a list of some of the most creative and exciting ways to break the so called hard heart men are said to have. The interesting part is that he won’t even suspect what you are to up to. You are totally going catch him off guard. You can also borrow from this list, if you are tired of your current relationship.
1. Nothing hurts a man more than when a girl who has showered him attention and love from the start suddenly goes for his friend or someone he is very familiar with. Be the best girl for him and then suddenly move to his friend without making him suspect a thing. Although this may be tricky and can make you look cheap.
2. An insecure chick can push a man totally off the cliff. Bring your best to the relationship but complain all the time how scared you are of losing him to another girl. No matter how much he reassures you that you are his one and only, do not stop whining about how unsure you are of his love for you.
3. Confused chicks can drive a man nuts. Be a loving, devoted, sweet girlfriend to him today and tomorrow, be cold and insensitive. When he complains about your attitude, tell him you don’t think love is for you and you are not sure the relationship can result into a long lasting one. Make sure the other times you are not like that, you are making him feel like the luckiest man in the world.
4. Be his confidant and then stop listening to whatever he has to say to you, suddenly. He would be so shocked as to how his good girlfriend that was a devoted listener suddenly changed. If he tries to make you guys talk about, ignore him totally. The key word is IGNORE. Shun whatever he has to say to you or change the topic to something irrelevant to your relationship.
5. There is nothing that cuts a man’s interest in a girl off more than a lady that is not sure what she wants from the guy. Be his lover today, tell him to just be your friends with benefits tomorrow, withdraw from him sexually the next and then tell him you just want to be friends with no strings attached. He will be mad, trust me, if he likes you as much as he claims.
6. Although physics has taught us that unlike poles attract, it is the exact opposite when it comes to law of attraction in relationships. Chase him away by doing the exact opposite of the things he stands for. If he hates when people fart in front of him especially while eating, do it. Drive him crazy by doing things he hates the most. He would be running in no time.
7. Dealing with needy and obsessed people can be really exhausting and crumple a relationship. Cling to him all the time. Get as clingy as following him to the toilet, if you can stand it. Force him to give you his phone and ask him about the phone numbers stored on his mobile device. Ask ridiculous questions that will put him on the defensive side and then cry if he tries to defend himself. Show up at parties he is attending without letting him know. You can even visit his parents without his consent. He will be saying goodbye pretty quickly when you do these things.
8. Demand extravagant things you know he cant afford. When he says he can’t afford it, cry and compare him with your ex-boyfriends that got you wanted you wanted without even asking. It doesn’t even have to be true, lie and be smart while dishing out the lies. Flaunt some of the expensive things you have and tell him how one boy got it for you. No one wants to do deal with an overly materialistic chick, one that compares him with other people at that.
9. Always find a reason to argue and quarrel with him all the time. Make sure it is over ridiculous things too like how he likes presses the toothpaste from the the middle of the tube rather than the bottom or how he keeps on not replacing the toilet lid when he is done. Argue that he expects you to do his bidding when he doesn’t do yours.

Overanalyzing everything he says and does.
Creating a goal of “getting him to commit”.
Judging him or trying to change him.
Letting negativity rule your interactions with him.
Making him the center of your emotional life.
Playing games and bringing drama into the relationship.
Expecting him to read your mind.
Trying to keep him interested by waiting on him hand and foot.
1. Judging Him Or Trying To Change Him
At its heart, a great relationship is all about compatibility.
Compatibility means that each person likes the other person for who they truly are – for who they are when they’re being totally genuine.
It’s not as easy as saying “just like him for who he is” – you have to actually, genuinely like him for who he really is. If you don’t, it will come across unconsciously through your behavior and your reactions.
2. Expecting Him To Read Your Mind
This is one of the biggest mistakes women make (all through relationships) that causes men to shut down and not want to engage.
Expecting him to know what’s wrong, or to know why you’re upset without telling him, is a surefire way to get him to disengage emotionally and push you away.
When a woman is honest and upfront with a man, and tells him what he did that bothered her – it’s hugely refreshing for him. It lets him know that she’s more interested in solving the problem than in punishing him for upsetting her, and it lets him know that he’s with someone special.
Making him guess what’s wrong accomplishes the exact opposite of that. It exasperates him, makes him want to move away from you rather than towards you, and pushes him away.
3. Trying To Keep Him Interested By Waiting On Him Hand And Foot
Here’s a harsh truth about this world: if you don’t respect yourself, other people won’t respect you either.
Respect has to start from within. You can’t get someone else to respect you and treat you with dignity unless you treat yourself with dignity first. Having self-respect demands that other people treat you with respect as well.
Many women (and men) fall into the trap of thinking that if they cater to their partner’s every whim, and do whatever he or she wants, it will make their partner like them more and put in more effort.
In fact, it does the opposite. When he sees that you’re willing to do whatever he wants without demanding an equal effort from him, it makes him less likely to put in effort, not more.
People treat things that are given to them for free as having less value, not more. If you fall into the trap of waiting on him hand and foot without any reciprocal effort from him, it pushes him away and makes him less likely to step up and want something more with you.
4. Making Him The Center of Your Emotional Life
Relationships are a delicate thing. It makes sense to rely on your partner for emotional support – both people are there to help each other.
But it’s not good to rely on your partner too much. When you make him the center of your emotional life and let yourself depend on him emotionally (where you’re counting on him to put you in a good mood and are in a bad mood if you don’t get what you’re looking for from him), it’s enough to push him away.
That kind of emotional dependence is poison to both men and women at the beginning (and middle, and ends) of relationships.
5. Overanalyzing Everything He Says And Does
When you don’t know how a guy feels about you, and you’re really interested in him, there’s a temptation to try to find ‘clues’ or ‘hints’ in everything he says and does.
After all, you really like this guy. You really want him to like you.
So you read into every word he texts you and watch him like a hawk when you’re with him, trying to figure out how he feels about you (without having to ask him).
The problem is, that kind of overanalyzing creates a dynamic between you that feels bad for him to be around and makes him want to ghost you.
It doesn’t feel good to be with someone who’s reading into every word you say. It makes you feel like you’re walking on eggshells – one wrong move or wrong word could disappoint the person you’re with and poison the mood.
When he has to watch everything he says and does to avoid upsetting you (and he doesn’t know what will and won’t upset you), it won’t feel good for him to be around you. And feeling good when you’re around someone is the first step towards a more lasting relationship.
So if you’re overanalyzing the things he says and does, you’re poisoning your chances with him – and pushing him away.
6. Creating A Goal Of “Getting Him To Commit”
Commitment and committed relationships happen when two people really enjoy spending time with each other and realize that they’d rather spend time with each other than with any other potential partner.
The way to get there is to make spending time together feel as good as possible for both of you – which we’ve already talked about. It means being in the best mood you can be in when you’re with him and enjoying the time you spend together by being in the moment with him.
When you make a goal (consciously or unconsciously) to try to get into a more serious relationship with him, all of a sudden you’re not living in the moment with him. You’re looking towards the future and trying to make the future you imagine happen.
That means that you’re not really being present when you’re with him – everything you do is unconsciously slanted towards accomplishing your goal.
And by the same token, everything he does that makes you worried about your goal happening is going to make you upset and ruin the dynamic between you.
So try to avoid having any “goals” about the future of your relationship – just enjoy the time you spend with each other as much as you can and let whatever will happen between you happen. Otherwise, you could wind up unconsciously pushing him away without even realizing it.
7. Playing Games And Bringing Drama Into The Relationship
There’s a temptation to think that you have to make a guy chase after you in order to snag him and keep him interested. 99% of the time, when a woman tries to play that game, it winds up blowing up in her face.
That’s because the way to keep a guy’s interest isn’t to make him jump through hoops or generate drama between you. Guys hate drama – it actively turns them off and makes them want to disengage.
So try to avoid drama and playing games when you’re with someone new – it’s a mistake that will push him away.
8. Letting Negativity Rule Your Interactions With Him
It’s impossible to be positive all the time – occasionally (or more than occasionally) you’re going to be in a bad mood.
But your mood is the most important factor when it comes to a budding relationship with someone new.
Your mood is going to determine how he feels when he’s around you – which is going to determine whether he wants to spend more time with you or not.
It’s a law about human nature – people want to spend more time with people that make them feel good, and less time with people that make them feel bad.
The thing that controls whether it feels good or bad to spend time with you is your mood. If you’re in a good mood, and happy, relaxed, and comfortable, it feels good to spend time with you. When you’re in a bad mood, well…
The important thing to focus on is trying to be in the best possible mood when you’re with him, or when you’re writing him a text or talking to him on the phone. That way, your positivity will make him feel good, which will make him want to spend more time with you.
The other side of the coin is that negativity will make him want to spend less time with you, and drive him away (just like if he was overwhelmingly broody, negative, and in a bad mood, you wouldn’t have as much fun hanging out with him).

Guys love girls. Some of them, they adore. But while you might be under the impression that guys are only after one thing and will do anything to get it, it’s just not true. There are some things that turn them off, causing them to run a mile. The problem is that you’re probably not even aware of what these things are. You could be happily chatting away without a care in the world, when all of a sudden he claims his mom is sick and he has to leave, and then, you never hear from him ever again. If you’re on the dating scene right now and want to make your next relationship work, let’s take a look at 10 things that turn guys off that girls don’t know about.
Too Talkative
Sure, guys want a girl to talk. They don’t want to date a shy lady who literally never has anything to say, or always answers simple yes or no to questions. But they also don’t want to date girls who talk all the time. An extremely talkative girl – rightly or wrongly – is seen as having a big ego by a guy. And this can be problematic. It’s even worse if the favourite subject is herself, it’s one of those things that really turn guys off.
Lateness
Girls are often late. “Hey, it takes a lot of maintenance to look this good.” But for a guy it’s hard to understand this. Guys don’t have the same point of view. They just dislike it when you’re always late.
Bad Habits
Guys have bad habits. They scratch themselves in inappropriate areas at inappropriate times, they belch fiercely without warning they snore, and they leave the toilet seat up…However, we still love ‘em. When girls have really bad habits, guys find it hard to overlook them. For example, if a girl smokes and the guy doesn’t, the chances are that the guy is going to see that as a deal breaker. It’s a bad habit that’s bad for health, and it causes unpleasant breath and it can be one of things that really turn guys off.
Pretending To Be Dumb
It’s fun to play dumb to catch his attention, right? Um. No. He wants an intelligent girl to have some interesting conversations and laughter with, not an airhead.
Extreme Clinginess
It’s cute when you miss a guy. He finds it adorable. But there is a fine line between being cute or caring – and being outright clingy. Guys often don’t like it when girls “need” their man around them all the time. If he’s been away from you from for just an hour and you keep asking where he is, because you miss him, it’s going to really annoy him, and it’s one of common things that turn guys off.
Nagging
Okay, you’re probably aware that nagging annoys a guy. You grew up watching your grandma nag your granddad and your mom nag your dad. It clearly annoyed the men, but hey-ho they just got on with it. For some guys, though, it’s a real deal-breaker. They just hate it. You might think you have to stay on top of him and kick his ass every now and then. But some girls – without realising it – can take the nagging too far. How? By asking the same question over and over again until they get the answer they want. It’s a major turn-off, it can really push a guy away.
Constant Helplessness
Some girls seem to expect their man to come along and “fix” all their issues, as well as their life. Even though guys usually like to help their lady, they won’t like it when you show yourself constantly needy or helpless.
Flirting With Other Guys
The problem with this one is that, while you might not think you’re flirting, he does. How do we define flirting? You might simply be having harmless banter with a friend (or a random guy!) and you know it doesn’t mean anything. Your partner, on the other hand, could literally be seething with rage at all this naughty flirting! However much a guy wants you to flirt with him, he doesn’t want you to flirt with other men. So if you think you might be crossing the line on social media or elsewhere with another guy, it might be a good idea to stop doing that.
Getting Drunk A Lot
Being tipsy is funny. You’re probably a real deal when you’re merry! Getting hammered each weekend with the girls? He doesn’t really dig that, it’s one of things that turn guys off.
Anger
Girls can get pretty angry! You know this. Sometimes there is an excuse for it – when you’re PMSing, for example, or maybe he’s genuinely done something to make you angry. But if you consider yourself to be an angry person because “the world is full of injustice and we have to be angry about that,” he’s probably not going to like it. Guys generally like their girls for their feminine traits – and anger isn’t one of them.

When you are with a new guy, it’s only natural that you want to find out as much as you can about him. What you don’t want to do, though, is turn a date into nothing more than a series of questions. The way to get more out of a man is to ask him some questions that will really give you some clues as to his true personality. Don’t ask him questions that he can answer with one word, ask him questions that will need an explanation and a bit of thought. Here are ten questions to ask your boyfriend that will tell a lot about the kind of guy he really his.
1. Where do you like to hang out when you are not with me?
You can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps and where he hangs out, so this question could tell you a lot more than just what his favourite haunts are. If he hangs out in the roughest bar in town, playing pool, then that will tell you one thing, if he spends most of his free time in the local library, that will tell you something else about him.
2. Do you like kids?
This is another one of good questions to ask your boyfriend. If you are thinking that this might be a long term relationship, then checking out how he feels about children would be a good move. His answer will not only tell you if he might be interested in having children of his own, it will also give you an insight into the type of man he is. If he loves being around kids then he is most likely a kind and patient person, and someone who can let go and have some innocent fun.
3. Do you like cooking?
Well, if you are going to make this a permanent arrangement you need to know if you are going to get breakfast in bed! Apart from the obvious practical benefit of being a guy who can cook, it also tells you that he has no old fashioned hang-ups about whose job it is to do the cooking. If he cooks, then he’s probably also pretty good at taking in his share of the other household chores as well.
4. What’s your idea of a perfect date?
One of great questions to ask your boyfriend is: “What’s your idea of a perfect date?” Ask him this question and you’ll find out if he is romantic or not, and whether or not you have the same interests. If he thinks that he perfect romantic date is watching the big game in a sports bar, and you can’t stand sports at all, you might as well find out about it sooner rather than later.
5. What do you think makes the perfect girlfriend?
You’ll have to push him in this one because, if he’s got any charm at all, he’ll just say “You”. Once you’ve got past that little stock answer, though, you might find out more about what he is expecting from the relationship. Is he looking for love or just a bit of company when he’s at a loose end?
6. If you won the lottery, what would you spend the money on?
Would he blow it all on a Bugatti Veyron, or would he share it amongst his family and give some to charity? This question could really show what type of guy he is and give you a good insight into his true character. It will tell you if he has a generous nature and if he is the type who would keep his feet on the ground and plan for the future.
7. What is the worst habit you have?
If says he has none, then you know he certainly has one bad habit, and that’s not telling the truth. If he’s a heavy drinker and he smokes, and you can’t stand either you might as well find out now. On the other hand, if he says “falling for beautiful women like you”, you can either take that as a compliment, or a sign that he thinks he’s a bit of a ladies’ man.
8. Where do you think you will be in twenty years’ time?
This is another one of great questions to ask your boyfriend. Does this guy have plans, or is he content to carry on muddling through just as he is today? Whether he wants to save the world or make his millions, drive, ambition and passion are an important quality to have. This is a good question to ask so that you can find out if his ambitions for the future are compatible with yours.
9. What are your parents like?
One of good questions to ask your boyfriend is what are his parents like. No one can choose their parents, but what a man thinks about his mom and dad can be an indicator of whether or not he is a family kind of guy. It’ll also give you a chance to find out a bit more about his past and where he came from.
10. What does love mean to you?
This is a pretty deep question and it should provoke a bit of thought on his part. Hopefully, he will be a man who understands what love is and cherishes it. If he gives you a sensible and honest answer to this question it could tell you a lot about your boyfriend.

Thanks bro, I appreciate ur kind gesture.

Pls who will summarize 4 me i dint read

u sounds funny

I remember the joy of filling out a personality test when I was younger and asking myself those tough questions, trying to become a better version of myself. You know, it’s easy to forget how important it is to question yourself every now and then. I know I hadn’t really done it since I was younger, but I realized that if you want to be successful, you need to dig deep. There are some questions to ask yourself if you want to be successful.
Asking yourself just fifteen important questions will help you figure out your strengths and weaknesses. There’s a beauty in finding out how your personality type prepares you for certain roles. This will help you prepare to tackle any role or obstacle that life throws at you also means knowing yourself inside and out.
So let me ask you a couple of questions now; When was the last time you sat down with yourself and tried to figure yourself out? Have you made a roadmap for success that actually takes into consideration your strengths and weaknesses? The best thing to do is grab your favorite planner, mine is the Getting Things Done planner of course, get a pen and answer these questions to crack the code for success.
QUESTION 1:
What’s the one activity that fills you with joy?
Try to answer this question as quickly as possible. Within one second. This will help you to find out not only what gives you joy in life, but what will help you grow. Maybe it’s the key to starting up business. Maybe it’s the hobby you need to make more time for.
QUESTION 2:
If a relationship or job makes you unhappy, do you stay or leave?
Only you know this about yourself. Have you stayed far too long in a job, relationship, or friendship that drains you or makes you feel unhappy? Sometimes, we stay in positions or in relationships that make us unhappy. If something is making you unhappy, no matter if you describe yourself as a strong individual or a more passive one you should never let it get in the way of your growth.
QUESTION 3:
What stops you from cutting out things that make you unhappy?
Now think about the reasons why you’ve stayed in situations that made you unhappy. This is the problem you need to solve. The obstacle that stands in the way of your success. When it comes to your happiness, there’s nothing more important and it should always, always come first even if it makes you unhappy to start with.
QUESTION 4:
What do you believe is possible for you?
This is your chance to dream big. We all have big dreams that keep us going, keep us motivated and make the long paths seem worth it. When you answer this question, you shouldn’t hold back. Don’t scoff at something because you think it’s impossible. Because the truth is nothing is. And once you believe this, you’ll be unstoppable. For you, there should only be one destination, and that’s where you should be headed.
QUESTION 5:
How do you make the Universe a better place?
This is quite a difficult question to ask yourself because it’s asking you how you make the world a better place. Sometimes, we can be so busy and caught up in our own lives that we forget to give back. But these don’t have to be big gestures; you probably do so much for other people on a daily basis that you don’t even realize.
QUESTION 6:
How would you like others to perceive you?
Acknowledging how you want others to perceive you will help you mold yourself into the woman you want to become. Imagine what you want others to say about you when you’re not around. You want them to say amazing things because you’re an amazing person. So, be that person and give them something good to talk about!
QUESTION 7:
How do you think others perceive you now?
This question differs from the previous. It’s asking you how you think people actually see you now. The thing about this question is, it will teach you more about yourself than it will about other people. It will help you figure out your weaknesses and perceived flaws, so you can turn them into strengths.
QUESTION 8:
Do you believe your destiny is pre-determined or in your hands?
Whatever you believe affects how you go about your life. If you think your destiny is pre-determined, you will accept the failures and boil it down to fate. But if you don’t believe in fate then you will allow yourself to feel bad about something because it’s your doing. Having a balance between the two is good. You need to accept what has happened and move on quickly, but also recognize where you went wrong so you can be better.
QUESTION 9:
In your opinion, what’s the meaning of life?
Ask yourself, why are you here? What impact do you have on the world and people around you? This question will provide you with a deep answer that will make you realize that you are special to this world and it wouldn’t be the same without you. It will also motivate you as you’ll see the positive effects of your actions rather than focus on negative ones.
QUESTION 10
If you were given a completely free day, what would you do with the time?
How you spend your time if you were completely free says a lot about you. If you get a free afternoon out of the blue would you run back to bed? Or would you do something that adds value to your life? If your answer is something that keeps you inside and away from people, then you know you need to work on doing valuable things with your time instead. And this will only bring joy to your life.
QUESTION 11:
What would your 80-year-old self tell you to make time for?
Imagine your life way into the future. Are you looking back and wishing you did other things with your time? You don’t want to get older and regret not doing something your heart wanted you to. Always keep that 80-year-old woman in mind, would she be happy, or would she be full of regrets? Remember, you have the time, you need to make better use of it.
QUESTION 12
Are you motivated by competition with others?
Does the thought of being in direct competition with someone else scare you or even demotivate you? Being envious of others is actually just being envious of what makes them successful, or ‘better’. Your answer to this question will determine your self-worth and will tell you if it’s something you need to work on. Because confidence is key.
QUESTION 13:
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
This may change over time, but generally, you are one or the other. And it can be extremely difficult to switch between the two. Our advice, no matter which one you are you should work with. If you know you’re a night person then you need to schedule some tasks at night where you are most creative. If you are morning person then begin the day by slaying it from the very start!
QUESTION 14:
Is there anything you’re waiting for before you can be successful?
First of all, your life should not be on hold. If you are waiting for things to line up then you will always be waiting for something. These are, effectively, just excuses. Do not see your limitations, break them. There is always something you can do, always.
QUESTION 15:
What would you do if you had more energy?
This is a very important question. As individuals, we’re always complaining that we can’t do this because we are too tired, or we can’t fit it in. But that’s another limitation that your mind is imposing on you. It’s all about making time and doing things for your body that give you the energy to go and do something. Answer this question and you’ll figure out how to create the perfect day for yourself.

Sometimes, no matter how perfect your love for each other may be, there are circumstances that tear you apart . Maybe it’ s responsibilities or a better work opportunity that ’s keeping you from being together as a couple .
If you find yourself in a long distance relationship , take heart because it ’s just a test to strengthen your love for each other. When you find yourself missing your man because of the distance between you , one way to alleviate the sadness is by sending him a letter like the ones below :
I pine for you each day . Through the long , hot summers through to the cold wintery months . I wait for the day when you finally come home. Your love gives me the strength to get through every challenge I face in life . And when you ’re gone it feels like I am weak without you. I wish I could cut the miles between us and just be there where you are. I wish I could fly off to where you are and just live with you the way we ’re meant to be. But there is a time for that and I understand that we must first fulfill our responsibilities. But that doesn ’t stop me from missing you every single day, my love. I love you and I am waiting for you.
I miss you today, more than I did yesterday but not as much as I will tomorrow. Every single thing I see reminds me of you. I remember the warmth of your embrace when I bask in the sunlight. I remember the soothing sound of your voice whenever I hear a distant melody that reminds me of our time together. I remember your laughter when I hear the howling of the wind in the cold winter months . I remember you in everything I see, everything I hear , and everything I touch. One day, all this remembering will go away because I will finally be there where you are . But in the meantime, I let the world remind me of you and how much we love each other as I wait for that day to arrive .
You are in my thoughts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 364 days a year . You are always here with me in my mind, in my heart, and in my soul. You are the one who gives me the strength to go through each day, even though I know there ’s no chance we will see each other. But even then, I keep going because every day that goes by is a day that brings me closer to you. You may be far away from me in distance , but you are never far from my thoughts and from my heart . You are always here with me, through the easy days and through the hard days. I do all of this for you and for the day when I can finally say “I ’m home ” and I will never leave again . I love you and I miss you every single day, my love .
Every day I tell you that I miss you. It ’s something common in a relationship like ours . But today, I feel like I missed you so much more than I usually do , and that ’s why I ’m writing you this letter. Today I woke up from the most wonderful dream when we are finally together with no reason to ever be apart again . I woke up to a start and to an empty bed that’ s missing your presence . Later today , I suddenly caught myself fantasizing of the day when we can walk hand in hand through the streets , carefree and not dreading the day when we need to be apart again . And this evening, I thought of your warmth as I nursed the cup of tea that ’s keeping me from freezing. Every day I long to be with you again, but every day I must remind myself that we are doing this for a reason. So for now , I have my dreams and my daily reminders of your love to keep me company. I miss you every moment of every day.
Even though we ’re far apart , I just want to keep reminding you of how much I love you . I love you in the morning when I wake up after dreaming of being in your arms again . I love when I have breakfast, knowing that you’re still probably slumbering away in your own time zone. I love you when I commute to work because I am no longer bothered by long distances, simply because I know that we are just one long commute away from each other. I love you when I do my work because it ’s the thing that’ s keeping us apart , and yet also the thing that’ s securing our future together. I love you when I ’m on the way home as I imagine how life would be infinitely better if I were to come home to you every single day. And I love you in the night before I fall asleep, as each time I sleep brings me another day closer to the day when I’ll be with you again.
The longer you wait for something , the more you appreciate it when you get it . Because anything worth having is always worth the wait . And so we wait and wait and wait each day for the moment when we no longer have to bear this distance. Our love for each other is so strong that no amount of miles can ever affect it . And through all this waiting, I remind myself of how much sweeter it would be when we can finally hold each other and never let go . These are the things that remind me to carry on each day . These are the things that give me strength . One day, there will be no distance between us . But until that day comes , we can love each other from a distance.
You are so far away that there ’s nothing I can do besides wait here quietly as my heart yearns to be with you. You have no idea how much I want to be with you right now , to hold your hand in mine, to smell the sweet scent of your fragrance, to hear your voice as it truly is and not distorted by gadgets. But then again , perhaps, you do know all too well how much I want to be with you because you feel the same way about me right now. We are two lovers on opposite sides of the world , wishing to be on the other side , and hoping for the day when it will happen . I miss you so much, my love . I miss you in all the moments you are not here with me.
I sometimes feel so much nostalgia for the days when we were young and carefree , when we had no worries in the world aside from finding the time to be with each other. Now that we’ re older and we know better , we know that being apart is a sacrifice we need to make. We’re doing this for all the right reasons so that one day we can live together and start the future we have always dreamed of. I remind myself every day that this momentary suffering will be erased on the day when we can finally bask in the joy of being together. I miss you every day.
Destiny can be such a cruel thing when it drives apart two people who have no other desire than to be together . But I guess we must accept our fate and stay strong. This is just one obstacle that our love will need to endure in order to grow stronger . I admit there are times when I feel so weak without you by my side , but I am reminded that this is my motivation to find strength. We are doing this for us, and all this sadness will drift away the moment you come home again. I love you.
Whenever I ask myself why we have to suffer through this distance, I remember a simple quote I once read . “ We are the perfect couple, we ’re just not in the perfect situation .” And I remember all the many things we love about each other. We are indeed perfect for each other, but we know that life is never that simple . We are thrust into a situation where our love for each other is tested , and it ’ s our job to prove to the world that distance is nothing compared to our love for each other . So let’ s do what we must to maintain this love . Let’s do what we can to remain the perfect couple . And then one day, we will find that we have become the stronger, perfect couple who has created the perfect situation by facing each challenge together .
Tell him how much you love him , how much you miss him , and how much you long for the day when there will no longer be any distance between you by sending him one of these long distance relationship letters.

There are certain families for whom playing football at an exceptionally high level seems to just come naturally.
Successful footballing brothers such as the Charlton’s (Sirs Bobby and Jack), the Laudrup’s (Michael and Brian), the Neville’s (Gary and Phil), the De Boer’s (Frank and Ronald) and the Toure’s (Yaya and Kolo) amongst others have all left their indelible mark on the beautiful game.
Sometimes football families are spread across generations too. Just think of these famous footballing fathers and sons; Cesare and Paolo Maldini, Johan and Jordi Cruyff, Carles and Sergio Busquets and of course, Abedi Pele and his two boys Andre and Jordan Ayew.
The aforementioned names are all famous across the football globe for the successes they enjoyed on the pitch and anyone who knows a thing or two about football is well aware of their family connections.
However, there are loads of other relations playing the game at an elite level, ranging from brothers to cousins to fathers to the slightly more tenuous link of brothers in law.
Here are ten such players who you may be surprised are related (even if just a little bit).
Jay-Jay Okocha & Alex Iwobi (Uncle and nephew)
There was plenty of excitement when young Alex Iwobi burst onto the scene for Arsenal due to his impressive and intelligent displays on the left flank. He has since gone on to become firmly attached to the Arsenal matchday squad on a regular basis.
International recognition with Nigeria followed upon which it emerged that he is directly related to one of the Super Eagles finest ever talents; the one and only Jay-Jay Okocha.
Iwobi is Okocha’s nephew. Okocha, whose mercurial talents lit up dreary Bolton for five years, has no doubt passed on some pearls of wisdom (and as importantly, some outrageous skills) to his young family member down the years.
Emir Spahic & Edin Dzeko (Cousins)
How about this for some football trivia. Bosnia & Herzegovina’s all-time appearance maker and top goalscorer happen to be cousins!
The no-nonsense defender Emir Spahic has accumulated 93 caps since making his debut for his country back in 2003, while his younger cousin Edin Dzeko leads the way for goals scored with half a century.
Both players have played an integral role in their country’s impressive rise in recent years, helping them qualify for their first-ever major tournament at the Brazil World Cup in 2014.
Thiago Alcantara & Rafinha (Brothers) & Rodrigo Moreno (Cousin)
Now, this really is an impressive football family. It is common knowledge that Bayern Munich’s midfield metronome Thiago Alcantara and Barcelona’s livewire forward Rafinha are brothers, but perhaps less well known is that Valencia’s attacker Rodrigo is also their cousin.
Rodrigo hasn’t had the best of times since becoming Valencia’s all-time record signing but he is certainly a gifted forward, making this an extremely talented trio of relatives.
Oh, and Thiago and Rafinha’s father was also pretty handy with the ball at his feet too. Mazinho was part of the Brazil squad that won the World Cup in 1994, around 18-months after Rafinha had been born.
McDonald Mariga & Victor Wanyama (Brothers)
Kenya is a country more associated with long-distance running than football, but the East African country has produced a few handy footballers in recent years, most notably the midfield siblings McDonald Mariga and Victor Wanyama.
Mariga famously became the first Kenyan ever to win the Champions League in 2010 when he was named on the bench as Inter defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 to win the treble, while his younger brother Wanyama has established himself as a key player at Spurs after starring for first Celtic and then Southampton on British shores.
These days, Mariga is playing for Latina in Serie B, while Wanyama captains the Kenyan national team.
Leroy Fer & Patrick van Aanholt (Cousins)
Both Patrick van Aanholt and Leroy Fer have been capped by the Netherlands at most age groups including the senior team, but their parents actually hail from the tiny island Curacao.
The cousins started their careers at two of Holland’s biggest clubs, Van Aanholt with PSV and Fer at Feyenoord before they found their way over to the Premier League, playing for Crystal Palace and Swansea City respectively.
Not bad Fantasy Football options, these two.
Lomana & Kazenga Lua Lua (Brothers) & Yannick Bolasie (Cousin)
Only 11 footballers hailing from the Democratic Republic of Congo have played in the Premier League and three of them are related, the Lua Lua brothers and Everton’s chief trickster Yannick Bolasie.
Lomana enjoyed a few productive years in the top-flight while playing for Portsmouth after starting out at Newcastle alongside his younger brother Kazenga, who can now be seen terrorizing defences in the Championship on loan at QPR.
Bolasie, meanwhile, established himself as one of the Premier League’s most dangerous wide midfielder’s and earned a big-money £25m move to Goodison Park from Crystal Palace in 2016. After a lengthy spell on the sidelines through injury, he is back in the Everton fold to help push them up the table.
Joel Matip & Marvin Matip (Brothers) & Joseph-Désiré Job (Cousin)
Remember Joseph-Désiré Job? Middlesbrough fans certainly should, as the Cameroonian forward spent six years on Riverside and even scored one of the two goals as they won their first ever trophy, the 2004 League Cup.
Job retired from the game in 2011 following a spell with Lierse in Belgium, but he has a couple of cousins still playing professionally in the form of Marvin Matip at Augsburg and Joel who is impressing on Merseyside with Liverpool.
Seydou Keita and Mohamed Sissoko (Cousins)
Malian footballing royalty Salif Keïta, named African Footballer of the Year in 1970, has seen his lineage continue in two of his nephews Seydou Keita and “Momo” Sissoko. The cousins between them have won 23 pieces of silverware including five championships across Spain and France.
However, there’s no doubting that Seydou is the more illustrious of the others, having been part of the all-conquering Barcelona team of Pep Guardiola, who incidentally described Mali’s record appearance maker as his “ethical and moral barometer”.
Keita today represents El Jaish in Qatar whilst Sissoko is based in India with FC Pune City.
And here are a few brothers-in-law you may not have known about…
David Ospina & James Rodriguez
David Ospina and James Rodriguez must spend plenty of time together as not only do they share a dressing room with the Colombian national team, they also see each other at family gatherings too after Rodriguez married Ospina’s sister Daniela in 2011.
Marek Hamsik & Walter Gargano
Walter Gargano and Marek Hamsik spent eight years alongside each other in Napoli’s engine room before the former departed for Monterrey in 2015 and in that time the Uruguayan midfielder met the Slovakian’s playmakers sister, Michaela, who he wed in 2012.
A couple of Premier League central midfielder’s now, past and present. Bournemouth’s tempo-setter Harry Arter and Fulham’s tough tackling Scott Parker will know each other very well by now, as Parker has been married to Arter’s sister Carly for the past 15 years.
