Nairaland GeneralTop 10 Bedroom Mood Killers by figlio(op): 10:02pm On Jan 03, 2015
Top 10 Bedroom Mood Killers

It would be nice if we were all constantly brimming
with unrequited passion like Edward and Bella ...
aren’t they having the longest pre-shag OF ALL
TIME? But we’re not. Which makes keeping the
mood once you’ve caught it all the more important.
1. Bad breath.
While funky arm pits can be a turn on and sweat a
useful lubricant, bad breath is never cool. Keep
breath mints in your bedside drawer at all times,
along with the condoms. Also follow the basic rule: if
you’re not sure, your breath is probably a bit dodge.
Oh, and minty lube might work in a pinch.
2. Washing machine kissing.
I have never found someone who actually likes a
tongue tonsil scrubbing. You? Exactly. Keep your
tongue where you can still feel it. And start slow. You
can’t go wrong with a slow, tension-building snoglet.
3. Stampeding south
One of my favourite lines ever is from The Meaning
of Life is when the Cleese school master character is
teaching sexual education, with the help of his wife.
“No need to go stampeding for the clitoris, boy, give
the girl a KISS!”
My thoughts exactly.
3. Terrible music
This is obviously quite subjective, so I asked my
Twitterstream to give a few examples. They suggest
avoiding, inter alia:
- The Macarena
- ‘He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother’
- ‘Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?’
- ‘I’m a Barbie girl, in a Barbie World...’
- ‘Pump up the Jam’
- ‘Like a Virgin’
- De La Rey
You get the picture.
4. Farting
Actually, on second thought, that might actually be
quite a sweet ice-breaker, if you’re both nice and it
doesn’t smell too bad.
5. The phone
Tell me you don’t answer the phone during sex. A
friend once told me a guy texted while she was going
down on him, but I hope that was just a horribly bad
dream.
7. The TV, the laptop, the iPad...
Again, all totally unacceptable. Unless of course, you
are porn folk. Then hey, go right ahead.
6. Children knocking on the door
Or, much much worse, children STANDING IN THE
DOORWAY.
7. Inappropriate gestures
So obvious, yet such a regular passion killer, possibly
because filters are rarely at optimum setting while
turned on. Rule of thumb? Don’t compare anything
to your thumb. Or shrug. Or – and I can’t stress this
enough – ROLL YOUR EYES.
8. Cats
It’s creepy to have sex with a cat in the room, dude.
It just is.
9. Snorting
Many, many animal like noises are sexy in the
bedroom. Snorting is not one of them.
10. Snoring
Like snorting, snoring is never good. Drop Ur experience

Nairaland GeneralDozens Killed In Shanghai New Year's Eve Stampede(photos) by figlio(op): 12:01am On Jan 03, 2015
At least 36 killed in crush at Chinese city's
riverfront as witnesses say they rushed to catch
money thrown from a nightclub
A New Year’s celebration on Shanghai’s famous Bund
that turned into a stampede has left at least 36 people
dead, authorities say - the worst disaster to hit
China's biggest city in recent years.
More than 40 people were also injured as hundreds
of thousands of revellers crammed on to the Bund,
Shanghai's colonial-era riverfront promenade, for the
annual light show.Early reports said the crowd surged to catch bank-
notes thrown from an upper-floor window of a nearby
building, believed to be the smart Bund 18 nightclub,
to create excitement. The notes were made to look
like US dollars but were in fact coupons.
China’s state news agency Xinhua said the results
“went astray”.
Shanghai’s Bund, which was once China's financial
centre and many of whose pre-1949 Art Deco
buildings have been converted into high-end
boutiques and restaurants, is one of the most famous
riverside attractions in China, and a traditional
gathering place for celebrations.
But there have been previous concerns about
overcrowding, and this year's laser show was
supposed to have been cancelled.
“There were too many people on the Bund platform,”
one person said. “The crowd began to evacuate and
suddenly there was a stampede. Those who fainted
were directly stomped on. Some were vomiting
blood.”
Most victims were “young people in their 20s”,
authorities announced. The youngest was said to be
16.
One reporter from the Southern Weekly newspaper
said that he was approaching the Bund at around
11.30 when the incident began.
He thought about leaving but “it was very difficult
already… women and babies’ crying could be heard,
and anxiety was spreading. Someone tripped on the
stairwell, and panic spread."
The reporter eventually made his escape by climbing
on to a rubbish bin and scrambling up a six foot-high
wall.
Most of the victims died as the crush enveloped the
area. Witnesses said they heard people shouting
"Back off", and that after ten minutes the crowd
calmed and receded to allow rescue teams in.
Cui Tingting, 27, said she had picked up some of the
bank notes but had thrown them away when she
realised they were not real.
"It's too cruel. People in front of us had already fallen
to the floor, and others were stepping all over them,"
she said.China’s president Xi Jinping ordered local officials to
“treat the injured with all disposable forces and take
care of the aftermath” while the prime minister, Li
Keqiang, urged authorities to “comfort the families
and strengthen security at crowded places.”
Even as emergency crews attempted to rescue
survivors, China’s censors attempted to prevent non-
official views of the tragedy emerging, and emphasize
the role of authorities.
On social media, users speculated about the reasons
for the disaster, while images of victims receiving
emergency treatment were deleted.
Others blamed local politicians for the disaster: “This
was last year’s National Holiday. Why can’t Shanghai
learn from it? Shanghai’s Party Secretary should
kneel down and apologize,” was a popular question.
Others questioned the figure for the number of dead,
which was initially given by state media as 35.
“Thirty-five, what a magical number,” a writer noted,
referring to a Chinese urban legend that claims any
death toll above this refers a Party Secretary to the
central disciplinary authorities. “Thirty-five dead in
the Shanghai stampede, 35 killed in the Wenzhou
high-speed train accident, 35 dead in the Henan coal
mine accident and in the storm in Yunnan.”
The figure was subsequently updated to 36. Source::::::::http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/11320016/Dozens-killed-in-Shanghai-New-Years-Eve-stampede.html

Like the old saying goes " one day one day monkey go go market hin no go return".............yesterday in the evening around 8pm, two young guys were leaning on a car when suddenly a keke napep stopped right at their front, then about 5 local thugs came out with cutlasses and local guns....... They demanded that the boys should hand out their phones, the boys obeyd and gave out the phones, one of the phones is believed to be over 200k and was a gift given to the boy by his dad who bought it for him from dubai.... just when the thiefs are about to leave, one of the boys begged them to please give them back their sim card and go with the phones......the thiefs felt insulted and gave the boy some dirty slaps saying words like "buro ubanka da sim din". Soon after they left the boy who's house was there just brought a hilux parked inside, together with his frend they trailed the thiefs, soon the caught up with them( at this time they were not speeding cos they dnt knw they were being followed) the boys patiently followed them and was waiting for the right opportunity, just when their napep was around a transformer which I fenced with blocks, the boys hit+pressed the keke napep until the napep hit the fence, lost balance and tumbled over, the boys to suffered as the had a hard time bringin their vehicle to a stop. People rushed and brought the thiefs out, but immediately the boy came out and explained that they were their, soon more evidence was found as the mob saw cutlasses and guns.......... The thiefs at this time have suffered injuries like broken hands and legs but the angry mob felt no pity and started beating shege out of them.........because the boy was influential he called his dad who called up the police who came in minutes, but not as quick enough for the thiefs because they were almost lifeless when the police came and picked them out...............I believe that out of the six of them (including driver) only one will survive ownin to the medical staff are currently on strike?......... Worst the keke which was brand new and worth over 400k ended up with parts beyond repair!.........the case is now handled by the police.....I was nt with my phone at the time of the incident but got this pics this mrning......information reaching me that 3 of them died yesterday!....question is; when asked by God what their last moments on earth was like wat will they sayhuh?

EducationLagos Aims To Improve Math Competence Among Students by figlio(op): 1:44pm On Dec 30, 2014
Lagos aims to improve maths competency
among students

Abuja - The Lagos State Government has organized
training for more than 400 mathematics teachers to
improve secondary school students’ performance in
the subject.
The 440 teachers are drawn from the six educational
districts of the state.
State Commissioner for Education, Olayinka
Oladunjoye, explained that the objective of the
training is to update the knowledge of mathematics
teachers in the state public secondary schools.
It aims to improve methods of teaching and learning
of the subject in schools with a view to achieving
improved performance, the official added.
“The objective of the clinic is to improve the
teaching skills and competences of the mathematics
teachers, to expose them to some new topics in
secondary school mathematics; innovative methods
of teaching mathematics and to also provide them
with instructional materials for effective teaching of
mathematics,” she said.

Oladunjoye noted that the training had focused on
different strategies including active learning,
effective teaching, use of resource materials such as
teaching modules and kits for effective teaching in
secondary schools.
It focuses on simplification of difficult concepts in
mathematics and practical steps for effective
teaching of subject topics among others.
Oladunjoye emphasized that the need to address the
challenges faced by students in mathematics and
improve their performance in the subject
necessitated the organization of the training.
"Mathematics is the bedrock of any nation’s
development," she said.

More than 40 bodies have been
retrieved in the search for the
AirAsia jet, the Indonesian navy
has said as debris spotted in the
Java Sea was confirmed as
belonging to the plane.
Earlier, Indonesian officials
coming off a helicopter on Borneo
island said they have recovered
several bodies floating in waters
near where the missing AirAsia
flight was last seen. Images on
local television showed at least
one bloated corpse.
The bodies, swollen but intact,
were brought to an Indonesian
navy ship, National Search and
Rescue Director SB Supriyadi told
reporters in the nearest town,
Pangkalan Bun. The corpses did
not have life jackets on.
Relatives of passengers began
crying hysterically and fainting as
the footage was aired.

At least two distraught family
members were carried out on
stretchers from the room where
they had been waiting for news in
Surabaya, Indonesia’s second
largest city - the take-off point for
the aircraft that disappeared
during a storm on Sunday,
Agence France-Presse reported.
An air force plane also spotted a
“shadow” on the seabed believed
to be the missing AirAsia jet,
Indonesia's National Search and
Rescue Agency chief said.

“God blessed us today,” Bambang
Soelistyo told a press conference.
“At 12:50 the air force Hercules
found an object described as a
shadow at the bottom of the sea
in the form of a plane,” he said.
Items resembling an emergency
slide, plane door and other
objects were spotted during an
aerial search in the morning.
“We spotted about 10 big objects
and many more small white-
colored objects which we could
not photograph,” Indonesian air
force official Agus Dwi Putranto
told a press conference earlier on
Tuesday.

He displayed 10 photos of objects
resembling a plane door,

An AFP photographer on the
same flight that spotted the
debris said he had seen objects in
the sea resembling a life raft, life
jackets and long orange tubes.
At least 30 ships, 15 aircraft and
seven helicopters were looking for
the jet carrying 162 people, said
Indonesia's Search and Rescue
Agency chief Henry Bambang
Soelistyo. Most of the craft were
Indonesian but Singapore,
Malaysia and Australia
contributed to the effort. Aircraft
from Thailand planned to join
Tuesday's search.

The U.S. Navy is also joining the

the USS Sampson, a destroyer,
which was already on an
independent deployment in the
Western Pacific, and will arrive in
the area later Tuesday. China
announced that a navy frigate
already on patrol in the South
China Sea and aircraft to help the
search.

Minutes later, the jet was gone
from the radar without issuing a
distress signal. The plane is
believed to have crashed into
Indonesia's Java Sea, but broad
aerial surveys so far have turned
up no firm evidence of the
missing Airbus A320-200.
On Monday, searchers spotted
two oily patches and floating
objects in separate locations, but
it was not known any of it was
related to the plane that vanished
Sunday halfway into what should
have been a two-hour hop from
Surabaya, Indonesia, to
Singapore. The area is a busy
shipping lane. Officials saw little
reason to believe the flight met
anything but a grim fate.
Based on the plane's last known
coordinates, the aircraft probably
crashed into the water and "is at
the bottom of the sea," Bambang
Soelistyo said Monday. Still,
searchers planned to expand their
efforts onto land on Tuesday.
A storm alone isn't going to bring
down a modern plane designed to
withstand severe weather. But
weather paired with a pilot error
or a mechanical failure could be
disastrous.
Pilots rely on sophisticated
weather-radar systems that
include a dashboard display of
storms and clouds, as well as
reports from other crews, to steer
around dangerous weather.
"A lot more information is
available to pilots in the cockpit
about weather than it ever was,"
said Deborah Hersman, former
chairman of the U.S. National
Transportation Safety Board. But
the technology has limits and
sometimes information about
storms "can be a little bit stale."
Authorities monitor progress in
the search for AirAsia Flight

The captain, Iryanto, who like
many Indonesians uses a single
name, had more than 20,000
flying hours, AirAsia said.
People who knew Iryanto recalled
that he was an experienced
military pilot, flying F-16 fighters
before shifting to commercial
aviation. His French co-pilot,
Remi Plesel, had been in
Indonesia three years and loved to
fly, his sister, Renee, told France's
RTL radio.
"He told me that things were
going well, that he'd had a good
Christmas. He was happy. The
rains were starting," she said.
"The weather was bad."

Health10 Tips To Stay Slim Over Christmas by figlio(op): 5:55am On Dec 26, 2014
The sooner you try out these tips, the more prepared
you will be for the holiday foods.
1. Activity compensates for extra calories
Give yourself the gift of 30 minutes of exercise a day.
In addition to burning calories, exercise also helps to
relieve tension – so you are less likely to eat to
control holiday stress.
2. H20, H20, H20
A little water goes a long way – small sips
throughout the day are a smart way to keep well
hydrated. It acts as a shock absorber and joint
lubricant, helps to transport nutrients and eliminate
waste, and works in regulating body temperature.
Even better, water has no fat, no calories and no
cholesterol.
3. Be a food snob
Don’t waste precious calories on everyday chips or
biscuits. Be selective and choose only the foods you
really love, or that you associate with the season.
4. Bundle flavours
Variety might be the spice of life, but it is also a
recipe for overeating. Bundle together similar
flavours. For instance, put only salty (or meaty) foods
on your plate at once. You will grow tired of that
specific flavour more quickly and end up feeling
satisfied on fewer calories.
5. Pare down those portions
Try to keep your portions small and make only one
visit to the table. Choose the smallest plate possible.
Pile greens and other tasty veggies on your plate
first, leaving just a little room for those high-calorie
treats like sweets and cheeses. Eat small, lower-
calorie meals during the day so you can enjoy a
special treat later – just make sure you do not starve
yourself for the party and overeat later.
6. Step away from the table
If you don’t put your choices on a plate, you have no
idea how much you are really eating. The worst thing
you can do at a party is stand around the table
dipping into the bowl.
7. Drink slimmer
Alcohol is a double whammy during the holidays. It
tends to weaken your resistance when it comes to
eating, and the calories in drinks add up quickly. Sip
on a glass of water between cocktails.
8. “I paid for it, so I’m going to eat it”
Don’t feel as if you need to clean your plate just
because you paid for it. Put part of your meal right
away into a take-home container. Portion sizes in
restaurants can be two to three times the amount
you need. Instead of the usual starch and vegetable
sides, skip the starch and double the veggies instead.
Stop eating as soon as you begin to feel full.
9. Zen Yourself
Holidays can be stressful. Keep expectations for the
holiday season manageable. Organise your time and
make a list and prioritise the important activities. Be
realistic about what you can and cannot do. And
don’t forget to schedule some down time to relax.
10. Slip, don’t slide
If you eat three helpings of mashed potatoes and half
a pie, all is not lost. Rather than polishing off the
rest, learn from your slip-up. Next time, eat a salad
first, start a conversation, and park yourself far from
the danger zone. The next time starts today. http://m.news24.com/nigeria/Lifestyle/10-tips-to-stay-slim-over-Christmas-20141222

CrimeMy Experience At The Bomb Blast In Gombe by figlio(op): 6:04pm On Dec 22, 2014
It was a normal morning for everybody in Gombe, with the christmas up's and down's as the major difference. I and my mom went to a poultry farm and bought a number of chickens, my mom dropped me at tashan Dukku as we at could'nt dress that number of fowls on time, because they sometimes take some parts of the chicken I was asked to stay behind and keep watch. Because the place was all smelly, dirty and with flies all over I had to stay at a distance. I had my headphone on with full volume, after some minutes, I heard a very loud and thundering sound with the grounds shaking, then dust covered everwhere up, there was panic everywhere, understanding what happened I just paid the guy and started looking for keke napep as I cud no longer stay, but non was available. Soon there was a mobilisation of the youths who started helping the wounded, I saw them carrying many wounded but particularly have seen ones with broken legs with flesh alround and a guy came running with flesh all on his shirt indicating the flesh that fell on him from the blast, in less than 10min the JTF where there and where pin pointing themselve, just then I got the napep, that was when I heard some people saying that bomber has bin caught and the mob want to set him ablaze. The napep guy was almost crying when he told me that he just dropped a woman with 3 kids in that same area where the explosion. We left immediately the force started their raid. I just want to give thanks to God for saving me because I was very close and if not because I had loud noise I might have acquired temporal deafening. Things like these were always on news I never thought I would happen this close to me. I THANK GOD FOR SAVING ME!

SportsBenfica And Portugal Legend Eusebio Dies Aged 71 by figlio(op): 3:43pm On Jan 05, 2014

Portugal and Benfica great Eusebio
has passed away at the age of 71.
Born in Mozambique in 1942,
Eusebio was brought to Portugal by
Benfica head coach Bela Guttman,
who signed the player in 1961 after making a personal trip to
Africa to see him play.
The attacker, nicknamed 'the Black Pearl' and 'the Black Panther,'
went on to become a legend for both club and country, winning
11 Primeira Liga titles, five domestic cups and the 1962 European
Cup with Aguias, as well as inspiring Portugal to third place in the
1966 World Cup.
With his speed, power and skill, Eusebio was an unstoppable force
in the Portuguese league and averaged more than a goal a game,
hitting 319 in just 313 league appearances and remains Benfica's
all-time leading scorer.
His talent saw him finish top scorer in Portugal six times, twice
win the European Golden Boot (1968 an 1973) and be named
European Player of the Year in 1965 as Benfica became a
powerhouse of European football.
Eusebio's exploits were not restricted to just domestic level. He
earned 61 caps and scored 41 times for Portugal, most notably
finishing the 1966 World Cup as one of the stars of the
tournament. He scored nine times to secure the Golden Boot and
also netted as his side overcame the Soviet Union 2-1 to seal
third place.
After 15 years at Benfica, Eusebio played out the remainder of his
career in North America, representing a number of teams in
Mexico and the USA before retiring in 1978.
The former striker is regarded as one of the finest to play the
game and was placed ninth in Fifa's 'Player of the Century' poll.
Cristiano Ronaldo was among those paying tribute to Eusebio,
writing on his Twitter account: "Always eternal, Eusebio, rest in
peace."
Reports in Portugal indicate that he passed away after suffering a
cardiac arrest in the early hours of Sunday morning.
