Romance5 Reasons Nigerian Men Date , But Never Marry Beautiful Women by Giyerte(op): 3:23pm On Sep 24, 2015
Have you ever wondered why in most cases,
girlfriends and mistresses of some men tend to
be more beautiful than their wives?
In a study, led by Anthony Little from the
University of Stirling and Benedict Jones from
the University of Glasgow, it shows that
men looking for a quick fling prefer women with
more “feminine” facial features.
Most men see beautiful women especially if they
lack nice personalities as being only useful as
girlfriends or mistresses and not as wives. Yes,
men do worship beautiful women but they never
marry them.
From having to deal with hate from fellow
females who they feel are not as beautiful as
they are, to fighting against insecure men,
gorgeous women seem to have all the odds
stacked against them.
Here are 5 reasons men date but never marry
beautiful women:

1. Most men generally fear them. The only men
who have courage to hit on them are players.
Unfortunately, they only use and dump them.



2. Beautiful women tend to bare it all at a go.
Most are good looking from afar but when you
take a closer look at them, they are actually far
from good. In most cases, their looks don’t last
long. Their beauty puts them on a high pedestal,
exposing them to tight scrutiny in search of
flaws. They throw their weight around, assuming
beauty compensates for their shortcomings.



3. Men find such types only good as mistresses.
Their reason been that sleeping with beautiful
women offers them different skills in bed. When
vetted for wife material, most beautiful women
fail. These women instill a sense of insecurity in
men, which turns them into guard dogs.
Considering the rate at which randy men hit on
them, their chances of succumbing to
temptations and straying tends to be high.



4. Most beautiful women have high maintenance
cost, which, in most cases, doesn’t measure up
when scrutinised in a cost-benefit analysis. They
like expensive gifts and exotic holiday trips but
in return offer bad se.x and are horrible cooks.



5. Some are never ready to give birth to more
than one child for fear of losing their hour-glass
figures.



So when it comes to looking for a wife men
prefer to explore the hidden potentials of less
attractive women. Women who are less
attractive are looked down on and get less
attention. Unlike their beautiful counterparts who
have big egos that require constant massaging.
They have compensated for their average looks
by developing personalities men find valuable
like being great listeners and amazing cooks.

Christianity EtcBREAKING: At Least 717 Dead, 800 Hurt In Stampede At The Hajj. by Giyerte(op):
At least 717 people have been killed and nearly
863 others injured in a crush during Hajj
pilgrimage rituals outside Mecca.
According to Saudi disaster officials, the incident
occurred in Mina, near Mecca, at 9 am local time
(0600 GMT) after two large masses of pilgrims
coming down streets 204 and 223 fused together.
The incident took place as people were heading
to participate in the symbolic stoning of Satan.
Over 220 ambulances and 4,000 rescue workers
have reportedly been sent to the location.
“Work is underway to separate large groups of
people and direct pilgrims to alternative routes,”
the Saudi Civil Defense said.
Saudi blames pilgrims for tragedy
Saudi Arabia's health minister blamed the
pilgrims for the deadly incident, saying the
tragedy would not have happened if they "had
followed instructions."
"Many pilgrims move without respecting the
timetables" established by authorities, Khaled al-
Falih said, adding that this is the "principal
reason for this type of accident," El-Ekhbariya
television reported.
"If the pilgrims had followed instructions, this
type of accident could have been avoided," he
said.
‘Iranians among the dead’
Meanwhile, Sa’eed Ohadi, the head of Iran’s Hajj
and Pilgrimage Organization, has said that at
least 43 Iranians have been killed and 60 others
wounded in the crush, according to ISNA.
Separately, an Iranian deputy foreign minister has
announced that a special commission has been
set up by the Islamic Republic to follow up on the
case of the Iranian pilgrims in Mina.
‘Saudi authorities responsible’
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran’s deputy foreign
minister for Arab and African affairs, said the
Iranian Embassy in Saudi Arabia, the Consulate
and all other relevant organizations are actively
working to determine the fate of the Iranian
victims of the Thursday incident.
Amir-Abdollahian held the Saudi authorities
responsible for the deadly incident, and said they
should promptly act to manage the crisis.
“The imprudence on the part of relevant Saudi
authorities to provide security for the pilgrims
cannot be overlooked,” he said.
Some two million people are currently in Mecca
for this year’s Hajj pilgrimage.
Some 360 pilgrims lost their lives during the same
ritual in Mina back in January 2006
This comes days after a massive construction
crane collapsed into Mecca’s Grand Mosque,
killing more than 100 people and leaving over 200
others wounded.

Separately, on September 21, a fire at a 15-story
hotel in Mecca forced the evacuation of some
1,500 people. A fire also broke out at another
hotel in the city days earlier, which left a number
of foreigners injured.

Politics10 Years After Retirement, Policemen Beg For Gratuities by Giyerte(op): 5:49am On Sep 17, 2015
Almost 10 years after retirement from service,
some retired police officers in Cross River State
are still begging the authorities of the Nigeria
Police Force to pay them their gratuities and
monthly pension.
The retired officers, who are living in penury, said
they had yet to receive any money after
undergoing the usual verification more than eight
different times since retirement.
Frail looking 69-year-old retired Deputy
Superintendent of Police, Mr. Udoh Akpan, who
spoke with PUNCH Metro in Calabar, said his
children had stopped going to school because of
lack of money.
The retired DSP said he last served at the Cross
River State Command headquarters in Calabar,
where he retired in 2006 and had done the
verification more than seven times without getting
paid.
Akpan is not the only one with such predicament
as his colleagues, James Iyamba and Bassey
Ejom, also retired as DSP and Inspector
respectively in 2006.
According to Akpan, who currently squats in an
apartment in Calabar with his five children, there
was assurance that he would be paid after the
last verification exercise in January 2015.
He said, “I have been retired since 2006 and I
have always hoped that I will be paid my gratuity
and start receiving my monthly pension, but I
have not received any. After the last verification
in January 2015, I was promised that the money
will be paid in a few months’ time but it has not
come. I have done the verification more than 10
times. At a time, they said I was disturbing them.
“My eldest daughter who is a graduate cannot
collect her certificate because I did not pay her
school fees. I live with my children in one funny
apartment because I do not have anywhere to go
to.
“I put in my best to serve the force for 35 years
and this is what I get. Most of our colleagues are
dead without receiving their pension. This is so
discouraging.”
Another retiree, Ejom, said he last served in Aboh,
Delta State, before retiring in 2006, but had yet to
receive his gratuity after several verifications.
Unlike Akpan, Ejom, who retired as an Inspector,
was lucky to have someone that bought a bus for
him under hire purchase agreement, which he
uses for commercial purposes.
“I served the force and retired voluntarily after 30
years. I have seven children and four of them are
in the university. I have not received any pension
or gratuity since I retired in 2006,” he said.
Ejom said another retired cop, James Iyamba,
who retired as a DSP in 2006, suffered stroke in
2013 and was paralysed before he died on August
25, 2015.
He said, “Iyamba last served in the Asokoro
Division of the Nigeria Police Force, Abuja, and
had stroke in 2013 which he managed until he
was paralysed. He visited Abuja three times to do
verification before he died.
“There is also another case of Sergeant Ajah
Ekpang, F/No 88750, who retired in 2006. He has
no pension, no gratuity. There are officers who
retired in 2004 and had yet to be attended to.”
When contacted over the unpaid retired officers,
the Chairman of the Association of Retired Police
Officers of Nigeria in Cross River State, Mr.
Bassey Inyang, who retired as a Deputy
Commissioner of Police, confirmed that some
retirees had not been paid.
“By virtue of the pension Act 2004 which took
effect in 2006, the Contributory Pension Scheme
was introduced. Those that retired from 2006 to
2008 had this problem of payment because they
belong to the old scheme called Pension
Transition Administration Department.
“I am aware that the Federal Government has
sent teams to verify the PTAD people and they do
it from time to time. But some of the old people
have not been paid because of human errors.
“After the last verification, there was a new
government in place and money has to be
approved again. About two people have come to
me and I have forwarded that information to our
headquarters.”

PoliticsBuhari To B’haram: Release Chibok Girls, Get Amnesty by Giyerte(op): 5:43am On Sep 17, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to grant amnesty to Boko Haram fighters on the condition that they release all the abducted Chibok schoolgirls. The President, who is on a three-day visit to France, said this during an interview w ith Agence France Pres se on Wednesday. Buhari told AFP that the Federal Government was talking to Boko Haram’s prisoners and could offer them amnesty if the extremist group hands over more than 200 schoolgirls abducted from their hostel at the Chibok Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State on April 14, 2014. He added that he was confident that conventional attacks by the terrorists would be rooted out by November but cautioned that deadly suicide attacks, some of them waged by children, were likely to continue. He said, “We are trying to see whether we can negotiate with the Boko Haram prisoners in our custody for the release of the Chibok girls. “If the Boko Haram leadership eventually agrees to turn over the Chibok girls to us, the complete number, then we may decide to give them (the prisoners) amnesty.” Buhari, who has promised to stamp out the group’s bloody six-year insurgency, said the government would not release any prisoners unless it was convinced it could “get the girls in reasonably healthy condition.” But he cautioned that negotiating with Boko Haram militants was fraught with difficulties. “We are trying to establish if they are bona fide, how useful they are in Boko Haram, have they reached a position of leadership where their absence is of relevance to the operation of Boko Haram?” he said. Buhari said he was confident that the military would defeat Boko Haram before the end of the year but expressed pessimism over the possibility of stopping the terrorists from attacking ‘soft’ targets. He added, “The main conventional attacks, where Boko Haram use armoured cars they took from the Nigerian troops, or mounted machine-guns on pick-up vehicles and so on, we believe by the end of the three months, we will see the end of that. “What may not absolutely stop is the occasional bombings by the use of improvised explosive devices. “We do not expect a 100 per cent stoppage of the insurgency.” Meanwhile, the Centre for Crisis Communication, which is acting as a middleman between the Federal Government and Boko Haram, says the terrorists have said they are tired of fighting. The Executive Secretary for the CCC, Air Commodore Yusuf Anas (retd.), said this in a statement on Wednesday. Anas, who is a former Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, said terrorists sent the CCC a message saying they are tired of fighting and willing to end the war. He noted that none of the suspected Boko Haram elements that spoke with the CCC asked for any form of monetary inducement or compensation as a pre-condition for laying down their arms. “In fact, many of them said that they were simply tired of fighting and being fugitives in a war that they were deceived into joining,” he said. Buhari had said on Tuesday that the Federal Government had begun negotiations with members of the Boko Haram sect to secure the release of the Chibok girls. The President said one of the conditions given by the terrorists was to release one of its members who was developing Improvised Explosives Devices. He, however, said that his government rejected the demand.

Christianity EtcPhotos: Masjid al-Haram mosque In Saudi Arabia collapsed, 87 People Died. by Giyerte(op):
(CNN)— A crane collapsed Friday evening at one
of Islam 's most important mosques -- Mecca's
Masjid al-Haram, or Grand Mosque -- killing at
least 87 people and injuring 187 others, Saudi
Arabia's civil defense authorities said Friday on
Twitter.
Severe storms and heavy rain caused the crane
to fall, the directorate of the Saudi Civil Defense
said via Twitter.
The Masjid al-Haram surrounds Islam's holiest
site, the Kaaba -- a shrine that worshipers visit
during the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
Approximately 2 million people a year make the
pilgrimage, which this year is due to begin
around September 21.
A strong thunderstorm popped up over Mecca
about 4 p.m. local time Friday (9 a.m. ET),
bringing gusty winds which shifted direction and
caused the local temperature to drop from 42 to
25 degrees Celsius (107.6 to 77 degrees
Fahrenheit.), CNN meteorologists reported.
Video shot at a distance from the collapse
appeared to show debris and blood on the
ground where the crane fell.
Another picture from the site showed what
appeared to part of a crane on a floor, with
debris strewn around it.
Khaled Al-Maeena, editor at large at the Saudi
Gazette in Jeddah, said the incident happened
during a strong thunderstorm.
"The scene is of shock ... and people are
wondering what happened," he said.
"Many of the (Hajj pilgrims) go to Medina first. If
this was one or two days before the actual Hajj
... I would have expected that the death toll and
the injured and the casualties would have been
much higher," Al Maeena said.
