THE unrelenting bombing campaign launched by the Niger Delta Avengers on the nation’s oil and gas infrastructure has deep­ened concerns over the N6.06tril­lion 2016 budget, which was trailed by controversies before it was eventually passed by the National Assembly, almost five months after it was presented by President Muhammadu Buhari to the legislature.

Even after the Appropriation Act was signed into law, strong reservations were expressed that it may not be possible to fully im­plement it given that much time had elapsed from the time it was presented last December 2015. Now those fears are rapidly becoming real in the face of the extensive destruction of strategic components of the country’s crude oil and gas production and export infrastructure.

As at the last count, over 40 major pipelines have been bombed and destroyed across the Niger Delta by the ferocious militants group, which goes by the name Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), as the group pursues its avowed goal of crippling the country’s oil and gas industry.

Already, the combined effect of the successful attacks so far carried out by the group since February 10, when it bombed the Soku Gas Plant operated by Shell, which supplies gas to the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) plant in Bonny for ex­port, there has been a precipitous drop in crude oil production and export by the major operating partners of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

On June 1, Wednesday, 3.40am, the militants destroyed Chevron’s RMP 23 and RMP 24 at Bibi, which were said to be the company’s highest producing Niger Delta. The attack further reduced Nigeria’s daily production as the destroyed facilities had a productive capacity of 90,000 barrels per day.

Then in the early hours of Friday, June 3, NDA bombed the 48-inch Shell Petroleum Devel­opment Company’s (SPDC) export line at the Forcados Terminal in Burutu, Delta State, for the second time, because of what it described as the intransigence of Shell, following the oil compa­ny’s resolve to proceed with repair works in the area.

The militants were said to have used sophisti­cated weapons to blow up the pipeline at another section as repairs on the section destroyed in the previous attack was almost being completed.

While claiming responsibility for the latest attack, the militants said through their Twit­ter handle, @Niger Delta Avengers: “At 3am today @ Niger Delta Avengers blew up the SPDC Forcados-48- inch export pipeline. We warned SPDC not to go ahead with repair works but they refused. This is an example to all other multinationals.”

With several vital facilities destroyed and shut down, oil production has been drastically reduced to less than 1.5 million barrels per day, a far cry from the peak figure of 2.2 million barrels per day.

Nigeria’s 2016 budget is based on the as­sumption that the country would sell 2.2 million barrels per day to generate a substantial part of the estimated revenue of N3.86 trillion.

The Federal Government, as the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udo­ma explained while giving the budget breakdown, proposed to embark on massive infrastructural and social intervention projects, all aimed at rebuilding the economy by investing in power, works, housing, agriculture, energy and education.

He said: “The 2016 Budget has an outlay of N6.06 trillion. States and LGs share of distribut­able pool amount to N3.24 trillion, while Federal Government will receive N2.48 trillion.

Specifically, about N350billion would be in­vested on infrastructural projects, with N35.6bil­lion set aside for construction of 1,973 blocks of 7,068 Housing Units in the six geopolitical zones and FCT.

The Federal Government also intended to di­rectly impact the lives of more than eight million Nigerians through different social investments that would “provide succour and be a ready-made palliative to ordinary Nigerians,” Senior Special Assistant for Media and Publicity to the Vice President, Mr Laolu Akande, had said during an interaction with the press in Abuja after the budget went through the legislative process.

Elaborating on the new details and a break­down of the interventions and palliatives, he said a direct payment of N5,000 would be made monthly to one million extremely poor Nigeri­ans for 12 months, for which N68.7billion has been appropriated; direct provision of very soft loans – cash for market women, men and traders, including artisans and agric workers. This would be for a total of 1.76million Nigerians, without the requirement for conventional collateral. Some of the traders will likely get about N60,000. For that purpose, a total sum of N140.3billion was appropri­ated in the budget; payment of between N23,000 to N30,000 per month to 500,000 unemployed graduates who would be trained, paid and deployed to work as vol­unteer teachers, public health officers and extension service workers among other responsibilities.

They would also be given electronic devices to empower them technologically, both for their assignments and beyond. Similarly, 100,000 artisans would also be trained and paid, and to fund this intent, Akande said N191.5billion had been set aside in the budget.

The budget also envisaged that at least 5.5 million Nigerian primary school children would be fed for 200 school days under the free Homegrown School Feeding Programme. The first phase of the initiative is envisaged to take off from 18 states, three of which would be chosen from each geopolitical zone. To fund the school feeding programme, a provision of N93.1billion was made in the 2016 budget.

To encourage the study of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, 100,000 tertiary students in these disci­plines plus education would enjoy a grant of N5.8billion to be paid directly to the students.

Altogether, in this year alone, more than eight million Nigerians would benefit from the social investment aspects of the budget.

Besides, continued funding of revived power sector and major road construction projects stalled by the 2015 transition and long delay in passage of the 2016 budget, would sustain existing jobs even as new projects, such as the Abuja-Kano and La­gos-Calabar railway lines, expected to take off under the new budget, would create numerous new job opportunities.

In the face of the present onslaught by NDA against oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta, there is now clearly a big question mark on the realization of the laudable objectives of the 2016 budget, which now seems endangered. Already, the bombing of gas pipelines has prac­tically crippled power generation in the country thereby pushing the economy into a deeper slump as millions of micro-enter­prises that depend on public power supply are now practically comatose.

Against this background there is real disquiet in the country as NDA digs in and has shown its determination and ca­pacity to expand the battlefront notwith­standing that the massive deployment of military forces by the Army, Navy and Air Force in and around Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South Local Govern­ment Area in the search for Government Ekpemuopolo, aka, Tompolo, who is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and has been frequently accused of being behind the new wave of militancy in the Niger Delta. But he has consistently and stri­dently denied the allegations.

To demonstrate the ability of its opera­tives to strike in the region, NDA chose to strike at the Chevron facility in Egbema creek in Warri North LGA of the state.

In a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, it gloated via Twitter: “With the heavy presence of 100 gunboats, four warships and jet bombers, NDA blew up Chevron Bibi oil well RMP 23 and RMP 24 at 3.44 am this morning (Wednesday). This is to show the whole world that the Nigeria military is good at harassing innocent civilians. RMP 24 and RMP 23 are the Chevron swamp highest producing wells.” Prior to attacking the Chevron fa­cility, the group had vowed to continue its relentless bombing of oil and gas installa­tions in the Niger Delta despite the Federal Government’s deployment of fighter jets and the military in Delta State.

The group, in a statement issued by its spokesman, Brig-Gen Mudoch Agbinibo, on Tuesday, NDA said it remained unde­terred by the heavy presence of the mili­tary in some parts of Delta State, adding that the troops deployment would not stop them from their planned action that would shock the whole world.

Even more worrisome is that NDA, which has vowed that it would neither retreat nor surrender is already garnering support from another consolidated group of militants under the aegis of Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force (JNDLF), which on Thursday threatened to launch six missiles in the Niger Delta region.

The group said it would commence test­ing the six missiles for three days on June 7, and warned that no airplanes should fly in and out of the country within the period, claiming that the weapons were capable of hitting any object despite its size.

Following assassination threat the Niger Delta Avengers issued to the Nigerian President-Muhammadu Buhari over Radio Biafra days ago if he dares to enter Ogoni land, the group has once more stated their conditions for cease fire yesterday in their call to Radio Biafra on friday evening the 3rd of June, 2016.

In their words, ‘’We do not want any of our elders to come and negotiate with us –We also warn America and Britain not to negotiate directly with Nigeria –All we want is our freedom, not money, and if they want to negotiate with us, they should first release Nnamdi Kanu to us. He is the leader of Biafra and anything he tells us to do, we will do. He(Nnamdi Kanu) will be the one to negotiate –Not only him, they should also release all Biafrans in their prisons and police cells because they did not commit any crime, others like Fani Kayode and Dasuki should also be released’’.


It can be recalled that there are recent rumors of the Nigeria Government’s plan to send the former president, Goodluck Jonathan to negotiate with the NDA. Their call yesterday was to make it clear that no negotiation of any sort will take place if Nnamdi Kanu is not released.

Still on their call, they warned, ‘’We have about 5000 missiles ready to fire incase the federal government wants to try any nonsense, we are ready for them. We have missiles to send to Aso rock, we have all it takes to shut down the telecommunication and they cannot communicate, we also can bring down any flying object they might try to send. We are ready for them. To all the South East governors and leaders, their days are near, our eyes are on them and even on their families, we know where their children are, we know the schools they attend. Willie Obiano, Ngige, Rochas, their days are near.
God punish the Queen of England, God punish Britain, God bless Russia, God bless Israel, God bless all the friends of Biafra. Thank you’’

PDP reacts

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Solomon Arase, has said Nigerians are ungrateful to the Police and advised to stop complaining about the inadequate personnel in the Nigeria Police.

He said this during a meeting which held at the Area Command, on Friday in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria.

He argued that if it was possible to make every Nigerian a policeman, there would still be crime in the larger society.

“The issue of manpower in the Nigeria Police, even if you can make everybody to be a policeman, there must be a crime.

“So manpower issue is not our own concerns at our level. The main concern is to have the Police do the work very well”, said the Police Boss.

The IGP was represented by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of the Minna Metropolitan Areas, Mr Kabir Gwarso, who also said that the stakeholders’ meeting was in line with the recent directive of the IGP.

The IGP had directed that stakeholders’ meetings should be held at the states’ Police Command; Area Commanders’ level and at the level of Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) across the country.

This is in view of the current crime situation all over the country, particularly armed robbery, cattle rustlings, herdsmen and farmers’ clashes, kidnappings among others.

ACP Gwarso added that one of the problems the Police have been facing is that people at the grassroots refuse to give information to them about crimes and criminal activities within their domain.

“Our believe is that people can do more than the way they are doing it now because with the people we can do it better than the way we are doing it now.

“Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force are becoming more educated and enlightened and besides, without this information by the stakeholders we can’t work successfully.

“And if you as Police officers and men, are exposing anybody who gives you information, the next time, nobody within that community would be willing to come and give you information again,” he said.

He promised that if given more information, the Police would work better on it and would achieve greater success in preventing crimes and protecting lives and property in their respective communities.

Even the Inhumane Nigeria soldiers are exempted, our war is on Oil installations not to take innocent lives. For the fact we can’t give Life, we also don’t have the power to take any life. But we (Avengers) are assuring the Families of the affected soldiers that we will bring the culprits to book.
When it’s time to face the military in combat let the whole world know that we won’t be the ones to throw the first punch.
This message is going to all groups parading themselves as freedom fighters. You can fight for your people without killing innocent souls NDA have proved it. we were able to drop Nigeria Oil production from 2million Barrels to just 800,000 barrels without killing a soul.
We are warning every group to follow our footsteps. The days of Killing and Kidnapping are over.

Scores of students of the Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies on Wednesday protested over what they termed the disruption of their examination by the three-day warning strike embarked upon by the academic and non-academic staff of the institution.

The students, who matched around Geruwu junction, near their school at Adewole, Ilorin, carried placards with different inscriptions.

The college’s Student Union Government President, Mr. Salaudeen Sodiq, who claimed that the students were over 1,500, said the strike had impeded their academic programmes. He called on relevant authorities to address the issues that led to the strike.

The striking workers included members of the Colleges of Legal and Allied Institutions Academic Staff Union, the Senior Staff Union of Colleges of Education in Nigeria and Non-Academic Staff Union of the Kwara State College of Islamic Legal Studies chapter.

The unions’ members, under the aegis of Committee of Union of Tertiary Institutions, said the strike was as a result of the alleged non-cogent position of the Kwara State Government as regards what actual time the 10-month salary arrears it claimed the members were being owed would be paid and other related issues addressed.

CUTI branch Chairman, Mohammed Faruq, at a media conference, said the three-day warning strike commenced on Wednesday and would last till Friday.

He claimed that the union leaders had met at the Government House with the Kwara State Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Science and Technology, Dr. Aminat Ahmed, and her team, without arriving at an amicable solution.

But the state Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, during an interactive session with journalists, had said he was pained when workers were not paid their entitlements.

He, however, said strike was not the best approach to resolve salary arrears when the state government was financially challenged.

He reiterated the resolution of his government to ensure that salary arrears were paid as soon as funds were available.

He added that the state government had commenced modalities to reduce wastage and ensure prompt and regular payment of genuine workers in the state.

Ahmed said, “If people understand what is going on in Nigeria, they will know that one solution to the problem is not strike. Strike is no solution to the problem because if you are not paid because there is no money, strike will not change it.

“But if you are agitating for a benefit and the money is there but you are not being paid because of a policy, then you can go on strike so that strike will change the policy and you get more money. But when there is no money, strike will not change anything. What will help is our coming together and having a dialogue.”

Besides svelte body and cooking skills, there are many things that a man secretly admires in a woman. We demystify these traits that he finds superbly sexy, no second thoughts here!

1. Woman who can handle her drink: You may never realize this but your man admires the way you don’t become a damsel in mess after gulping down those few shots of vodka. A man instantly falls for your charm when you can stand straight even after a few drinks. That’s a brownie point already in your kitty.

2. Confident in her skin: Trust us ladies when we say that we do battle with image issues and fat shaming every now and then. But if you are absolutely comfortable in your skin and can even laugh at your idiocy, then your man will never leave you. After all who will like to live with someone who’s constantly prodding about her looks and ‘weighty’ issues.

3. No makeup: While few women feel naked in public without make-up, there are many women who can walk out in the open without make-up and with elan. And guess what! Men love when a woman can walk out in public without any make-up and still look drop dead gorgeous by letting her inner glow shine.

4. When they talk about their goals: No matter whether her goal is to build her own empire or eradicate poverty, a man will listen to her intently while his girl is talking about her future plans. It drives him crazy to see that you are passionate about your goals.

popcykaylah:
I am not tribalistic ..I only said I don't sleep with people's wives..

The ones you are sleeping with, maybe they are ghost's wives.

popcykaylah:
Naa I don't do married women..I f**k single ladies..and i do it so well..

Stop your envy. After Igbo girls, It's Hausa/fulani girls from the chad region. So if you are yoruba......Sorry.
Most less beautiful girls

popcykaylah:
The one living next to me has three kids and married yet she fcuks anything that has money..

You didn't f**k? Guys around her can't withstand her beauty. She is the most beautiful around your area, That's why she's being patronized even after giving birth and your unmarried sisters are dumped.

If you say Igbo girls are prostitutes, i agree with you. They make money with their beauty. You can't compete with them cos you no reach.

Misunderstandings are the biggest problem in most relationships. Sometimes it can be solved easily, you just don’t know what it is exactly. It could be that she doesn’t feel loved. When you love someone, you can easily take it for granted. But love is not something to think lightly about. It’s one of the most important things in life, because every other aspect is touched by it.

But how do you show it? It may not come easy to everyone. Appreciating a person can be done in many ways. So I will help you on your way. Here are 50 ways to show her you really do love her!

1. Talk respectfully. Don’t make her feel like she is less important.

2. Listen to her. Not just to the words she’s saying but to the feeling she tries to express.

3. Compliment her. Be specific, so she knows you really mean it.

4. Try to show interest in things she enjoys. Does she like cooking? Help her! Does she like sports? Play it with her! Does she like art? Watch it with her!

5. Consider her opinion before making a decision. Ask her what she thinks and honestly consider it.

6. Be forgiving. There is no better way to love someone than to openly forgive and forget. Holding a grudge will not improve your relationship.

7. Plan a small trip. Take her to a place where you can spend quality time.

8. Set goals together. If you know from each other what you are working toward, it is easier to support each other. Also, having goals together will bring you closer.

9. Admit your mistakes. Being open and honest, showing that you too are imperfect will make her feel closer to you.

10. Have her back. If you get in a situation where you have to choose between your wife and others, choose her. Especially when it is a situation with your family. She already feels like she took you away from them, she needs to feel that you don’t hold that against her.

11. Give her a mini massage, like a backrub. Who doesn’t enjoy attention like that?

12. If she’s not feeling well, even just a headache, make sure you help her out as much as possible. She takes care of you all the time, so show her you appreciate that by taking care of her.

13. When she asks you to help out with something, don’t respond annoyed. Show her you don’t mind giving a hand. She doesn’t enjoy everything she needs to do either, but someone has to do it.

14. When you discus a serious subject, don’t go off joking around. Peacefully listen and talk.

15. When having a conversation, look her in the eye. Show her that you are listening. Don’t get distracted.

16. Spend as much time as possible with her. She wants to feel like she is the most important person in the world to you. Spending time is the number one thing you do with the number one person in your life.

17. Put effort into looking good. Workout, shave, shower, put on some deodorant. Whatever makes her feel attracted to you, do it.

18. Help out around the house, without special recognition! You don’t have to brag about doing something that she does every day.

19. Be supportive. When she shows that something she wants to do means a lot to her, support her. I wanted to be a writer and told my husband, and see where I am today, writing!

20. If she says something is bothering her, don’t ignore it. Talk about it. Small things that stay on your mind, will grow into big things that are hard to solve.

21. Work on yourself. Everyone changes over time. When she mentions some behavior that she doesn’t appreciate, show her you are trying to improve on it.

22. Surprise her. Give her a lovely card or letter. Show up with flowers. Buy her that bracelet she wanted. Anything small is good. Surprises are what keep your relationship alive.

23. When in a relaxed state, make her comfortable. For example, when watching tv, sit close and cuddle her or hold her hand.

24. Let her know you think of her when you are not together, by texting or calling.

25. Be pro-active. If she notices that you are trying the best you can at all times, she will respect you for that.

26. Show affection in public. Hold her hand, give her a kiss, hug her. Don’t be ashamed or afraid to show her you love her, even when people can see it.

27. Are you going to be later than expected? [/b]Let her know! She won’t feel important if you won’t even let her know that you’re late.

[b]28. Ask her what she’s insecure about. If you want to be the hero who helps her out, you should have an idea what’s she’s afraid of. There are a lot of unstable factors in life, so maybe you can help her with things like a job, place to live or even just letting her know she is important.

29. Refuse to compare her to others. She is your number one! Why even start to compare? She has to be the only one you care about.

30. When you started to fall in love, you were dating. Why change what’s good? Take her out on dates to stay in love!

31. She probably makes dinner for you every night… Why not let her relax while you clean up afterwards? Or better, make dinner once in a while.

32. If she’s feeling discouraged or hurt, hold her and tell her you love and care for her. She just needs to feel you are there for her at the times she needs you the most.

33. Brag about her. When she’s around, and when she’s not around. Brag about her always. Too many people talk negatively. You chose her, so brag about her.

34. Let her be free to say what’s on her mind. When she speaks from the heart, don’t tell her her feelings aren’t important or dumb.

35. Explore who she is. Try to know more about her. Talk about every subject you can think about. See what her viewpoint is on the deeper things in life. Ask as many questions as you can come up with.

36. Don’t make her feel guilty. Don’t put your problems on her. If you have a problem, talk about it patiently.

37. Make her something. Don’t just buy gifts, create them. Maybe you can make a journal about your relationship, noting down all the important things that happened and adding little memories to cherish.

38. Take pictures with her. Girls take a lot of pictures but they don’t have the same meaning as when you do it. Try to make a picture every time you’re together, even when it’s just relaxing on the couch.

39. When you’re around each other a lot, you have to deal with a lot of serious matters. Try to add in a little bit of fun by making a joke or tickling her. (Know when to stop, because you don’t want to annoy her.)

40. Call her cute names. You don’t want to sound like a businessman by just useing her name. But always using the same nickname can also get boring, so mix it up.

41. Be strong enough to let her help you. When it comes to emotional things, men aren’t usually the best. Let her help you. It’ll show trust and love.

42. Don’t give love to expect it back. Don’t show her you care, just to get it back. Give freely.

43. Don’t see her as weak, but as precious. Women are simply more emotional than men. But that is not weak. She has to be the most important thing in your life. How can she be important if you look down on her? She is precious.

44. Don’t just appreciate how she looks, also love her personality. If she knows you appreciate her for who she is and not just what she looks like, she will feel more love and appreciate you more.

45. Realize that she is like a gift. Every day of your life with her you should remember that she’s a gift in your life. You could be alone, taking care of yourself, but instead she’s there to take care of you. Don’t take her for granted.

46. Do what you say. When you agree on something, follow through. It may not be the easiest for you, but really do the best you can to do as you agreed on.

47. Celebrate accomplishments. Don’t say ‘cool’ and keep on living life. If she did something she’s proud of or you’re proud of, let her know. Get a bottle of wine or get a little something to celebrate.

48. Find out what she likes in bed and do that.

49. Leave little notes around the house, with sweet messages, so every time she enters a room or uses a different appliance around the house, she has a little surprise. (I got this tip from my husband, who did this when I was feeling down. Made me feel amazing!)

And…

50. Tell her you love her! You can never say it often enough. Keep reminding her every day, hour, minute, that you love her!

1. Igbo Ladies Are Very Industrious

It is generally believed that Nigerians who are Igbos (both male and female), tend to do business more, compared to other tribes. Igbo ladies are not left out in this trend. When an Igbo lady fails in the first business venture, she does not relent, instead she tries other ways, just to bring money into the house.
Amazingly, lots of these women do not like sitting down without supporting their husbands. For a true Igbo lady, consistency is key and being financially dependent is out of the picture!

2. Igbo Ladies Love Unconditionally

When a true Igbo lady is in love, she loves not minding the odds involved (that’s if there are any). Igbo ladies take their time to do things in order to make their man not fall out of love with them. They take care of the home front including the children and are always ready to give good sex any time of the day just to show how committed they are to their men.

3. Igbo Ladies Stay True To Their Men

Yes, there are lots of wayward ladies in the country but Igbo ladies seldom cheat on their men. Igbo girls are faithful to the core.

4. Igbo Ladies are Extra Smart, Intelligent and Beautiful

Looking around, most of the popular ladies leading the pack both in and outside the country are Igbos. They are not just beautiful and brilliant, they are extra smart. They know their onions, they do not try to outshine themselves and they make the art of being a woman so beautiful!



http://biafrasay.com/p/320679/4-hot-reasons-why-you-should-marry-an-igbo-lady

Nowadays many people tend to live for the moment and take the line of least resistance. They usually act and behave as if they’re not afraid of an empty and purposeless life. Modern mass media and other sources of information do their best to prove people that life is made for entertainment and satisfaction only. This powerful propaganda can lead millions of young people up the garden and make them move in the wrong direction, because satisfaction is just a temporary feeling. A cherished dream to live a life of luxury makes them blind to really valuable and meaningful goals.

I’ve also tried to lead such a pointless lifestyle, but in a quite short period of time, I realized that it was just a waste of my life energy. I was not the one who would obediently go with the stream. Communication with wise people proved me that a boring and empty life wouldn’t make me happy. They broadened my horizons and taught me to wake up every morning with a sense of purpose in my mind. Frankly speaking, it was difficult to start living a life of purpose at once, because my head was overloaded with challenging questions about the society, reality and the mission of my personality in this world. But I tried to accomplish meaningful goals regardless of everything, because I believed that both men and women had to leave a mark on history.

Read on and pay attention to the things, every beautiful woman should do in her life. I’m sure these wise pieces of advice will fill your life with new positive experiences and bring you more inner peace and satisfaction than constant parties all night long.

1. Save one’s life

It’s not necessary to be a popular superhero these days. Everyday small and insignificant acts of your kindness can save the life of a person in need. Even your frank smile can heal the soul of a seriously depressed man and motivate him to overcome the feeling of sadness.

Earlier, I was a bit cold-hearted and selfish personality. I tried to live for myself and satisfied only my personal needs. Later, extremely deep and thought-provoking movies changed my mindset. I was greatly impressed by the film “Seven Pounds”, directed by Gabriele Muccino. It taught me to give other people a helping hand without expecting to receive anything back. If you’ve at least once saved someone’s life, you might know that human life (as well as animal life!) is the most important and valuable thing. It’s very pleasant to understand that your generous actions or donations have given somebody a chance to bounce back, reconsider life and turn over a new leaf.

2. Give birth to at least two children

Although it may sound banal, every woman dreams of giving birth to a beautiful baby, because there’s nothing better in this world than being a mother. Children are the most beautiful flowers of your life. They usually bring joy and happiness, because a little baby is an inexhaustible source of healing and positive energy. The birth of a child often helps women run away from loneliness and overcome inner demons, since their love and maternal instinct are the strongest things in the world.

Unfortunately, many young women are afraid of giving birth – they’re not emotionally ready for a baby. They prefer to dedicate the most valuable and productive years of their lives to a successful career. Many of them don’t realize that this risky decision can cost them their own happiness, because workaholism can steal their health and life energy. As a result, at the age of 35, these successful business women spend huge sums of money in the hope that one day their reproductive function will be restored.

3. Plant a tree

There’re a lot of stereotypes about the role of women and men in tree planting. My brother says that tree planting and growing is a man’s affair. I don’t support this stereotype. I have a different set of values, life principles and priorities and believe that women have a special connection to nature, because they’re very sensitive creatures.

I’m fond of planting trees, flowers and vegetables – it’s an activity I feel passionate about. Sometimes, it seems I can easily interact with the nature on a sensory level. This special skill helps me open up and grow up both spiritually and mentally.

You should also find time to interact with the nature. If you have no opportunity to start a marvelous garden, then you should plant at least one tree to make both your soul and this world better.

4. Draw a self-portrait

Typically, people who’re fond of art usually choose an experienced artist to draw their portraits. Every painting is a powerful and eternal source of information, especially self-portraits. They can reveal the darkest corners and secrets of the person depicted on the canvas. Almost all successful and confident personalities have at least once made an attempt to create a self-portrait.

Have you ever thought about drawing a self-portrait? Many superstitious people believe that drawing a self-portrait is a bad idea, but I don’t believe in this superstition. You don’t have to be a professional artist to draw a self-portrait. All you have to do is put your heart into this unusual activity. You may do it in front of the mirror. It will help you notice every mole and enjoy the beauty of your eyes.

Why do people prefer to create self-portraits? I think that this activity gives them a chance to discover the essence of their inner nature and opens their eyes to many little things they have never noticed before.

5. Spend a week far from civilization

Today almost every city dweller is already sick and tired of hectic life, virtual reality and other amenities of a modern world. These people should do something, because life is too short and it will fade away in the twinkling of an eye.

If you want to be successful and maintain positive mental attitude, you should master the start-stop technique. It means you should listen to your inner voice and try not to suppress your feelings and emotions. You’re not a robot and sometimes it’s necessary to make a pause or even stop and give your body and mind an opportunity to refresh and breathe in a gulp of fresh air.

Can you imagine your life somewhere far from civilization? Doctors strongly recommend people to take a break from technology, active communication and cooperation with others at least once a year. Spend a week in a complete isolation somewhere far from the city. No one and nothing will be able to distract you from enjoying the silence and relaxing all day long.

6. Make a frantic gesture

I’ve noticed that many ladies are dreaming about miracles and adventures, but they can do nothing to overcome their fear to take a risk. They usually take long views and analyze every word, action and step in order not to make a frantic gesture. This is a typical choice of a modern, obedient and reserved person. As a result, inner walls, prejudices and stereotypes make their life completely limited, predictable and uninteresting.

Why do ladies are so afraid of a frantic gesture? Sure, it can have a short-term negative impact on your reputation, but it has always been the best therapy for diffident personalities. It can quickly boost your confidence and improve the quality of life.

7. Become a mentor

Life is the process of continual development and improvement. There’re a lot of sources of knowledge, methods and styles of learning in a modern world. But mentoring is the most effective one for both mentees and mentors. If you’re good at something, try to share your knowledge, skills and experiences with someone else. It can be your friend, workmate or a total stranger.

You don’t have to be as wise and mature as Master of Zen. Sometimes your teachings and emotional support can be quite enough to give somebody a push and help them make a confident step on the ladder to professionalism and success.

8. Find a true love

There’s no doubt that real woman will never become happy without true love – this wondrous feeling is an inevitable part of her life and nature. In the pursuit of a true love, many ladies become disheartened and lose faith in the existence of this feeling, because they often fail to sustain healthy and long-lasting loving relationships. If you don’t want to make the same mistake, you should get rid of the habit of hurrying love. This negative habit will never handle the situation, but fill your mind with obsessive thoughts and make you feel miserable.

By all means, you should focus on your self-improvement and try to lead an active lifestyle. I’m sure, one day you’ll finally feel a true love running through your veins.

No matter how you slice it, life is a wonderful thing. It’s necessary to live it to the full and try to reach goals that will make you a highly successful and beloved woman. What other things successful women should do in life? We’d like to know your point of view!

ukomko:
A chilling video sent out by the militia arm of the Fulani herdsmen currently terrorising Nigeria claims that the group is supported and protected by the government of General Muhammadu Buhari.

The announcer in the video claims that the group is “everywhere in Nigeria”. The 6.37-minute video was sent to us by a reader on Wednesday, April 27, 2016.

According to our investigations the video was sent to the governor of Zamfara State, Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari as a warning for him to call the Hausa farmers who rear cattle “to order”.

The video shows members of the Fulani militia, a terrorist group ranked as the 4th most deadly terrorist group in the Word Terror Index. Though the video doesn’t show any faces, it captures a group of men with AK47 rifles and motorcycles.

One of our editors provides a translation below from what he refers to as “adulterated Hausa” below:

“We are Fulani herdsmen declaring war against any tribe, be it Hausa or any tribe that has being subduing us. We are everywhere in Nigeria… Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Niger, Kano, Kwara, Oyo, Anambra, Kebbi. Our mission is to destroy souls and claim their properties, especially those of the Hausas and other minority tribes that have ganged up against us to steal our cows.

“We will spill [the] blood of everyone in any community that kills one Fulani man. We are armed to the teeth and ever battle ready for any security agencies, if at all there is, because we have brothers in government circles. We have, on our side, top ranking officers, emirs, and what have you on our side and they are always willing to divulge secrets to us.

“Our people are in the military, the police, the secret police [Department of State Security Services], and many more.

“We are everywhere and we are not ignorant as you think we are. I am educated and knowledgeable of my Islamic rights. We have what it takes to defend ourselves come (sic) every time.

“We have beautiful women that will satisfy our sexual arousal, money, enough bullets, and others. We lack nothing. We have enough weeds to smoke.

“Take this video to the governor of Zamfara State. If he does not co-operate with us, we will bring an onslaught on farmers in Zamfara who stole our cows. Hausa man (sic) is not supposed to own a cow in the first place. They are all cows they stole from us, the Fulani.

“Any living soul in Nigeria that threatens a single Fulani man in the country will be dealt with by us.”

Can you handle it?

Does your sex life fulfill all of your fantasies? Are you enjoying the best sex of your life? Or is there something more you dream of and wish for?

No matter how awesome the sex you are currently having is, there is the possibility for more. … But more what?

Many people imagine that a new pill, potion or position is the key to an exciting sex life. It seems everyone wants a quick fix, something that will magically transform boredom and routine into a thrilling joy ride of coital bliss. And sometimes those pills, potions and positions can accomplish just that — for the short term.

But eventually, even new thrills can become empty and boring. And predictably, the search usually resumes for something new and exciting to fulfill our fantasies of what sex should be like. Does this mean that we are doomed to a life of uninspired sexual routine or, conversely, the endless pursuit of one momentary sexual high after another?

No — it all depends upon the erotic path you choose.

If you are willing to invest as much time and effort in your sex life as you do in your favorite sport or hobby, sex can be catapulted into a high art form which has the potential to exceed your wildest dreams.

Sex, like much of the rest of life, is shaped by our intentions as well as our technique. If your approach toward sex is oriented to simply having fun, then your sexual experiences will tend to be more superficial than heart centered. But if you combine your sexuality with your spirituality, you can open erotic doors which transcend the mundane and literally launch you into a world defined by other dimensions.

Although an erotic journey of this nature can involve a variety of teachings and practices, here are five of the most basic elements designed to take your sex to the next level:

1. Perfect Your Touch

You can touch something or you can touch your own desire. When you allow your hands and your finger tips to find their pleasure, your touch will naturally create pleasure in the person you are touching. Shift your focus from how you are touching and how you imagine your lover feels and instead allow the pure joy of touching to excite your senses.

The energy in your body radiates past the confines of your skin. Learn to sense this energy by holding the palms of your hands about a half inch to an inch apart and gently push at the space in between your hands. Notice how it feels when your hands come close to each other and how it feels as they move away.

Can you feel the energy generated by the palms of your hands? This is what you want to touch your lover with. You want to learn to direct that energy so that your touch extends past your fingertips.

2. Master Your Breath

Everyone breathes deeper and more frequently when they are sexually aroused. But unfortunately, many of us have learned to hold our breath when we orgasm. For some, holding our breath seemed like a wise way to avoid making noise and getting “caught” masturbating or having sex when we were younger.

It can take some practice to unlearn this habit, but it is important that you allow yourself to breathe while you orgasm if you want to take your sexual pleasure to the next level. If you learn to breathe during your arousal and through your orgasms, you may be surprised how receptive your body is to continued arousal and multiple orgasms. Conscious breathing exercises including some yoga practices and meditation techniques are an excellent way to master the art of breathing yourself to an ecstatic state of being.

When you know how to raise your sexual excitement with your breath, your ability to experience pleasure is enlarged. Plus another benefit is an increased ability to connect with another person intimately. The breath unleashes emotions and when we breathe deeply, we feel our emotions more intensely. Allowing these emotions to surface during sex creates a more intense sexual and emotional sharing.

3. Expand Your Consciousness

Not only do meditation and yoga provide conscious breathing techniques which can enhance the enjoyment of sex, meditation and yoga can also expand your ability to sustain your awareness and focus. The ability to stay present with yourself, your lover and your pleasure is a crucial feature of heightened states of sexual arousal. Sex which is deprived of these deeper abilities is not nearly as satisfying as sex which occurs in a state of expanded awareness.

It may seem counter intuitive, but more awareness and more pleasure can be very confronting and even frightening until you become familiar with the emotional terrain. A torrent of buried emotions can surface, creating confusion and fear. Which is why you need to…

4. … Delve Deeper

The best sex is connected to our hearts and therefore our emotions. As you become more aware and emotionally connected to yourself and your lover, you will no doubt become more attuned to irritations, frustrations and fears as well.

This is the part which can be frightening to many people. This is where many will turn away from this immensely satisfying erotic journey in preference of something “safer” and more superficial.

But there is nothing to fear. The truth is that you were carrying these emotions inside of yourself before you became aware of them. Now that you sense your true feelings, you simply need to learn healthy ways to deal with them.

There are many resources you can draw from to learn to navigate newly discovered emotions. The tools which can help you express yourself honestly and compassionately with another human being include non-violent communication techniques and active listening skills. These are best learned with the help of a trained professional such as a therapist or relationship coach. Investing in your communication and intimacy is one of the most powerful ways to take your sex life to the next level.

5. Create Sacred Space

Taking sex to the next level requires the space for that sex to occur. A special place and setting can be achieved in a variety of ways which appeal to the five senses. Experiment with incense, sensual music, candlelight and perhaps an altar.

But don’t stop there. Create a sacred space for your erotic journey by allowing ample time. Most people allow about 30 minutes for sex and that includes pre-intimacy. The average length of intercourse is just three to seven minutes. How sad! Sex shouldn’t be a race or a fast food drive-through. Sex needs time to develop into the mind-blowing experience we all crave.

Begin by setting aside a minimum of one hour for lovemaking. As you increase your capacities for intimacy and pleasure, you may find your sexual encounters lasting for hours!

Rest assured, I have personal experience with all five of these steps, and I know it is common to have some resistance to change, even when that change can usher in the fulfillment of our hopes and dreams.

There is only love and love is all that is.

Your heart pounds, because of the source?
Lol

I’ve been helping men improve their love lives for years now. I’ve probably read dozens of articles on what women find attractive in men. I’ve even written a few of them. The funny thing is, I rarely come across articles that touch on what men find attractive in a woman. Is the modern dating game so lopsided that it’s enough for a woman to just ‘show up’, or do we men stumble merely at the sight of a nice head of hair and a shapely body?

I won’t deny the fact that this is true for a lot of men out there, but there’s a little more needed to really attract a man who isn’t impressed with mere ‘good looks’?

Now, I can’t speak for the entire population here, but here are eight things that I, personally, find incredibly attractive in a woman.

1. Kindness

This might sound like a bit of a cliché, but true kindness really is rare these days. Sure, you get people who are nice to those who hold some sort of value to them, but how many people do you meet every day that would go and talk to the lone stranger crying in the subway? I don’t want to be with a person that’s just nice to me, my friends, and my family. I want a person who can brighten up my day by brightening up the lives of everyone she comes in contact with.

You have a power to lighten someone’s day just by smiling to them. It’s worth using it often, also to become more attractive in men’s eyes. Studies from the University of British Columbia show that men are attracted to smiling women. A natural smile conveys messages like optimism and stability, which are definitely qualities desired in a mate.

2. Positivity and sense of humor

“It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority.”

One of the most important things in any relationship, romantic or otherwise, is the ability to have a great time and have a good laugh. Taking care of your emotional hygiene and good mood should be your priority. Only then you can take life positive, light, and with a fair dose of humor. While I never hold any significant other to a comic standard of say, Ellen Degeneres, I do love a woman who can live life one day at a time, take a joke, and crack a few of her own.

3. Passion

This might sound like a tall ask to some, but I’m a person who needs to be inspired constantly to be happy. To me, there’s no feeling in this world as attractive as being inspired by a woman who’s passionate about her pursuits in life.

You could be a world class pianist or you could be doctor, the minute I see your eyes light up while talking about what you want to achieve in life, I guarantee you I’ll be falling hard and fast. You cannot get bored together, because there is always a topic to talk about with a girl who is passionate about something.

4. Getting along with my friends

A friend once told me an old Chinese saying of a man that has a wife who gets along with his friends will have a long and pleasant life. Well, I have a feeling that my friend might be lying about there being an actual saying; however, I have to say that it really is a beautiful thing to be with a woman who can get along with your buddies and just be ‘one of the guys’ when she wants to.

5. Confidence

“Nothing is more beautiful than a confident woman who doesn’t pretend to be someone she’s not.”

I don’t know about you, but I like being around people who are happy to be themselves. You see, it’s not just women who respond powerfully to a confident partner, I love being with a woman who stands up for herself and what she believes in; as long as it’s not an opinion against my sports team or favorite band. Ha! Just kidding. I would never date a girl who didn’t love Iron Maiden.

6. Being comfortable with her sexuality

There’s a lot to be said on what’s sexy and, more specifically, on what makes a woman sexy. To me, what matters is not what a girl wears beneath the sheets or what she’s into, it’s the fact that she’s comfortable with her own sexuality and aware of her sexual energy. Romance is just so much more fun with a woman who knows what she’s into and isn’t abashed about it.

Your sexuality is a big part of your human nature. The sooner you embrace this side, the better and more attractive partner you become.

7. Decisiveness


“A girl should be two things: who & what she wants.”

One of my biggest pet peeves is people who don’t know what they want and can’t take responsibility for their own decisions. At the end of the day, I’m willing to battle through a few arguments on where we should have dinner or which movie we should watch, as long as I know that I’m with a person who’s strong enough to be decisive.

8. She has her own sense of style

Here’s the thing: we men are very much visual creatures. It’s just how we’re evolutionary programmed. Something that I absolutely love in a woman is a unique sense of style. I’ll admit that I tend to gravitate towards certain stereotypes – bohemian Goth with a fair share of body ink (in case you’re wondering). I fall in love whenever I see a woman who has a sense of style that I don’t get to see on every street corner.



http://biafrasay.com/p/320605/8-highly-attractive-things-in-women

Being “left on the shelf” is a very real fear for a lot of women. If we haven’t met someone by the time we’re 18, we begin to panic and get anxious when we think about our future security. After all, our friends all seem to have already met the love of their life, so why can’t we?

The funny thing is that, despite the rise of technology, we continue to worry about where and howwe’re going to meet a partner in 2016. We go to clubs but Mr Right isn’t there. We go to work each day thinking Mr Right might appear at the fax machine, but he never does. We agree to meet up with friends of friends, hoping that Mr Right might be somewhere in there, but he never is. So where is he?!

The truth is that meeting a partner in 2016 can be incredibly simple. Let’s take a look at some simple yet amazing ways you can meet a guy.

Change Gyms

Have you been going to the same old gym for the last few years, hoping to meet a partner, only for them to never show? Nowadays you probably just go to the gym to actually work out, and to ignore it if anyone thinking you look really sweaty and unattractive.

You should try a new gym. A new gym will open your eyes to all the cute people you’ve been missing out on all this time. It will widen your prospects and give you a peep into new people you haven’t met before.

Try Speed Dating

Okay, yes, speed dating can be nerve wracking. You have to sit down at a table and chat to someone for a few minutes in the faint hope that you might like them and they might like you. It seems like such a strange concept, but at least there shouldn’t be any awkward silences!

But can you really meet a partner when you’ve only got 3 minutes to impress them? Well, yes, you can! The whole concept of speed dating is beautiful; you’ve literally got 3 minutes to see if you can make a connection with someone. It’s exciting and exhilarating, and who knows? You might come out with someone’s phone number.

The Singles Dinner Party

Okay, this isn’t actually a dinner party just for singles. That would be lame. Instead, what we suggest you do is arrange to have a dinner party with friends with one catch: Everyone must bring along a friend who is single.

And the friend has to be attractive.

And normal.

And definitely single.

You know, no rings, no 6 wives or any of that tomfoolery.

Take A Dog For A Walk

Ever seen the 2000’s rom-com Must Love Dogs? It was a cute film starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. The setup was that Diane Lane’s character was roped into creating a dating profile that said any potential suitor “must love dogs.”

The truth is that meeting someone can really be just a dog walk away.

Walking your dog in the park gives you the chance to bump into dog walkers of the opposite sex. You already have something in common, and striking up a conversation is often just as simple as, “cute dog. What is its breed?”

And if you don’t have a dog, borrow one! Seriously.

(But don’t steal one. If you’re tempted to steal, move onto the next suggestion).

Go To A Sports Game

Lots of single guys go to sports games each weekend, so if you rock up at a soccer, basketball or ice hockey game, you’re destined to see plenty of single men.

Of course, guys go to “the game” to watch their favourite sports team in action. The last thing they thought would happen is that you’d walk into their life.

But guys love explaining sports to women who have taken an interest in them. If you can manage to sit next to a cute single guy and play the “I’M SO CONFUSED BY SPORTS” routine, you’ve got a starring chance.

Hit A Convention

Okay, this one probably only really works if you’re into conventions. But if you are, it’s time you stopped obsessing over trying to get Jim Parson’s autograph and switched focus to trying to find a partner.

Because they are out there. Yes, you might have to convince them to put down the light sabre first, but once you’re past this stage, promising times may lie ahead.

Change Careers

Changing career can be pretty daunting, and you should probably only do it if you really are bored with your current career and want to challenge yourself by trying something else.

But … you could also change careers if you want to meet a partner!

We suggest that you do some research first, though, and find careers where men outnumber the women. But there are certainly ample opportunities out there for a woman who is young, confident, fearless, ambitious and attractive.

And, hey, if you really do want a career change for the good of your professional life, you’re really killing two birds with one stone. Get on it.

Weddings

Weddings have traditionally been a place for single men and women to hook up. Everyone is taken in by the mood and the fact that someone has just got married that we all want a piece of it!

The problem is that we all too often forget that a wedding is a great place to meet a partner of our own because we’re so caught up in the moment. We’re busy catching the bouquet, having our photograph taken or drinking too many cocktails. The next time you’re invited to a wedding, make the most of it.

Get In Line!

So, this one is, like, so simple it’s ridiculous. Simply put, whenever you’re queueing up somewhere for ages – like Starbucks – you should say to the guy next to you, “what’s with this line?” Strike up a conversation about your mutual interest – the queue – and see where it takes you!

Online Dating

It’s 2016 and you haven’t even thought about online dating? It’s time to give it a shot.

Contrary to popular belief, online dating is not full of strange people, and it’s actually a really cool, amazing and simple place to meet a partner in 2016. There are lots of men out there, it’s just a case of finding the one for you.

How to meet new people? What are your tips?

Stay happy!




http://biafrasay.com/p/320599/10-amazing-and-simple-ways-to-meet-a-partner-in-2016

You’re pretty. You know you’re pretty, we know you’re pretty … but does he know you’re pretty?

Well, he does (come on, you’re beautiful), but for some reason he still isn’t all that into you. Humph.

Perhaps you’ve spent all day smiling at him, directing him to your face, sent him a close-up of your face on Facebook … what gives?!

The truth is that men are actually deeper than we sometimes give them credit for. Yes, they’re from Mars, and yes they like to gawp at waitresses. But they’re not actually all that shallow. Looks aren’t the only thing they care about when it comes to dating. There are actually a few things guys look for in women.

I know, right!

Let’s take a look at some things that will attract him more than just your pretty appearance.

You Need To Be Playful

Sure, guys like it when a girl is serious about serious things, but they also like a girl to be playful too. You might have movie star looks, but if you can’t have a giggle now and then, you’re going to struggle to wow the guy of your dreams.

Guys like to flirt with their girlfriends, and they need you to be responsive. If they tease you, they want you to tease them back. They want you to smile more; they want you to be cheerful and to have a great sense of humour.

You’ve Got To Be Feminine

Yes, we’re in 2016 now and gender stereotypes are certainly changing. But men still prefer women to be WOMEN.

This means that you act like a lady. This means you don’t belch louder than them, swear in public like a sailor, or down pints of beer quicker than their dad’s.

Sure, they want you to have a sense of humour, but they just don’t really want you to be more manly than they are. You’ve got your feline prowess, so use it.

You Need To Love Yourself

If you’ve got really low self-esteem, you need to check yourself into a therapy rather than a dating site. Guys aren’t on the lookout for women they need to nurse psychologically; they want you to be strong, confident, and they want you to love yourself.

After all, if you don’t love yourself, how can you expect a guy to fall in love with you? Believe in yourself and he’ll believe in you too.

You Need To Be Smart

It might surprise you, but men want their women to be smart. They don’t want to date the kind of woman who can’t handle her own in an argument, and whose idea of flexing her mental muscles is asking him how his day went.

Again and again.

Guys like to be intellectually challenged. They love a good debate, and they like to get their hands (or minds) dirty discussing politics, philosophy, art and so on.

Looks are one thing, but men can get over looks. They can even get bored of them. But they can never get bored of an intelligent mind.

You Can Chill With His Mates

It’s very important for a guy that you get along with his buddies. There will be occasions when he wants you to go out with him and his mates, so if you can’t get along with them it’s going to cause a whole heap of friction.

You Have No Children

Yes, some men actually like it when you’ve got a kid. They like the idea of walking into an instant family.

But most men don’t. They don’t like the idea of raising another man’s kid, and they definitely don’t want an instant family with the women they’ve just met.

They want you to be free, single, and without baggage. A lot of guys like to think of themselves as bachelors who are easy come, easy go. If you turn up on the second date with a toddler, you’re going to put him off instantly.

And no, telling him that you named the toddler after him won’t work.

You Can Cook

No, he isn’t expecting you to cook dinner for him every night after he’s returned home from work. This isn’t 1960 anymore.

But guys do appreciate it if you can at least cook. Just like girls like it when guys can cook. It’s sexy, and it means that you’re probably going to conjure up a feast when he’s absolutely starving. He’ll love you forever if you do that.

See, guys get sick of ordering takeout food all the time. They love it when you suggest cooking them their favourite meal now and then.

Don’t Be Scared Of Your Flaws

Men lust after hot women. That’s a fact. If guys are asked which hot female celebrity they’d love to date, the usual names crop up: Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez. How can the rest of us compete with such elixirs of beauty?!

The truth is that it’s all pure fantasy, and guys actually prefer to date women who aren’t afraid of their flaws. Men like your flaws; they are what make you YOU, and guys fall in love with the whole package, from your beauty to your blemishes.

You Need To Listen

Men have as many problems as women, yet sometimes they shy away from opening up and discussing them. Once they do open their hearts to you, you need to listen.

Guys do like mother figures, and they need to know you care about them. And they’d much rather talk to a female than a man when it comes to their emotional problems. So be there for him.

What do men find attractive? What are your thoughts?

Stay happy!

Heineken first quarter results have shown that Nigerians are drinking more beer than they did this time last year.

The results, released on Wednesday, show that the volume of beer consumed by Africa, Middle East and Eastern Europe, grew by 4.6 percent in the first quarter of the year, most of the increase coming from Nigeria and Ethiopia.

“Organic consolidated beer volume growth of 4.6% was driven by growth in Nigeria and Ethiopia,” Heineken said in its first quarter report.

“Elsewhere in the region, volume was challenging and remains weak, with both affordability and lower tourism continuing to impact performance. Excluding Nigeria, volume would have been down organically for the region.

“In Nigeria volume was flattered by an easy comparative given the election in the same period last year; cycling the forthcoming quarters will be more difficult.”

However, the world’s third largest brewer added that the challenging state of the Nigerian economy, as regards foreign exchange, is impacting its business adversely.

“Underlying trading conditions remain tough and the weaker consumer environment, due to the low global oil price, continues to drive negative brand mix.

“It is becoming increasingly challenging to obtain hard currency in the market, and the uncertainty regarding a possible devaluation of the Naira continues to impact the business adversely.”

Though Nigeria claims not to be in a recession, foreign exchange scarcity has seen some business pull out of the nation, while some others are downsizing.

In 2015, the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate fell to a record-low at 2.8 percent, the lowest since the return of democracy.

Inflation also surged from less than nine percent in the last quarter of 2015 to 12.77 in April 2016.

The negative outlook and economic indices are obviously not affecting Heineken consumption.

Have flax seeds daily for overall good health. They are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids and are known to reduce the risk of heart disease and breast cancer. They also have anti-inflammatory properties that prevent arthritis, apart from digestive properties which help ease irritable bowel syndrome.

Salmon

Not only is salmon rich in iron, which is usually lacking in women, but it is also full of omega-3 fatty acids, known to improve your mood. Experts say that omega-3 helps treat depression and prevent mood swings.

Cranberries

Certain studies over the years have found a link between eating cranberries and how it reduces the risk of breast cancer and heart disease. Also, they have the ability to prevent and cure urinary tract infections. Have a glass of cranberry juice every other day.

Spinach

While this might not be a much-loved food, spinach is packed with a host of vitamins, minerals and high amounts of magnesium. And magnesium is known to help reduce the physical symptoms of PMS like swelling, breast tenderness, bloating and weight gain.

Walnuts

Experts say that walnuts have omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytosterols — all important in reducing the risk of breast cancer. The high omega-3 content also helps bone health, arthritis and depression. Walnuts also comprise nutrients like calcium, magnesium and folic acid.

Oats

Oats are bursting with health-boosting nutrients, great for female health. They keep your heart healthy, are great for digestion, keep blood pressure levels in check and also contain vitamin B6, which helps prevent PMS and mood swings. Another component — folic acid — prevents birth defects in babies and is essential for women during and after pregnancy.

Milk
Calcium deficiency is one of the major health concerns that affects women worldwide. Milk is an absolute must for women at any age. A great source of calcium, milk, when combined with vitamin D, is one of the best ways to keep osteoporosis at bay. Milk is also helpful in preventing symptoms of the dreaded PMS.
Tomatoes
A carotenoid that is essential for good health is lycopene, which is a pigment found in tomatoes. And several studies have said that lycopene can help prevent breast cancer. Apart from this, there is also evidence that suggests that it reduces the risk of heart disease.
