You’re currently in a relationship and wondering if the man in your life will commit to you for the long term. or you recently experienced heartbreak because you thought the man in your life was committed to you but he ended up walking out on you? Kindly read on to downer ten relationship habits of a committed man.

1. When he takes you out he listens to you and enjoys your company..

When a man is ready to commit to you, he looks forward to taking you out to nice quiet places so he can enjoy your company and get to know you better. A man who is ready to commit asks questions and genuinely listens. He enjoys your presence, and makes you the most important part of your date. Because he’s committed, he creates time despite his busy schedule to be with you because he values you.

A man who will commit communicates with you everyday! He wants to know how you’re doing. He won’t communicate in an intrusive and controlling manner. He’ll often chat with you to know how your day’s been, or he’ll mail you something he read to inspire you. He’ll also send you funny pics, jokes and stories to make you laugh. Because he sees you in his life, a lot of what he shares with you will enable, encourage and empower you. Because he is committed to you he’ll always want to help make your day better. If you call when he’s unavailable, he’Il return your calls promptly because you are important to him.

If he think highly enough about you to involve you in the decision-making process.......MORE

In order not to keep deceiving ourselves, we need to realize that there are no two people who come into marriage completely fit into each other’s lifestyle immediately. Irrespective of the number of years spent courting, we still find out that there are a number of underlining concerns to deal with, some lose ends to tighten up, compromises to make, attitudes to shelve, ideas to nurture and characters to model when marriage finally happens.



The main reasons for this is in most cases is due to the fact that there has never been any opportunity to stay under one roof as a couple for 24 straight hours, so there are quite a number of issues that we never had the opportunity to encounter most especially for those who didn’t practice the live-in lover style. This now makes it easier for us to gloss over a lot of issues. But sadly enough, the expectation of so many of us while we go into marriage is that things should just automatically go well, no, it doesn’t happen that way. Marriage takes a process of adjustment.



In as much as it is not out of place to have such an expectation, having courted for a minimum of one year, the assumption is that we should have at least been used to one another properly. But is this realistic? No wonder, quite a lot of marriages break up and no thanks to this strange and cumbersome expectation. Issues happen based on individual differences which need not be allowed to get out of hand if only we are ready to confront them. There is a process of adjustment that we need to realize and negotiate internally with our spouses but before then, let me quickly demystify two misconceptions we have about marriage.



First of all, it is important for us to know that our marriages are just the sincere extension of who we were before walking down the aisle. No miracle of transformation happens on the wedding day per se. The huge misconception here is that we think our partners must have a change of attitude and character in all ramifications the moment we both say “Yes, we do”! That guy can’t......MORE

*ADEVERTORIAL



In the terrain where fickle music business and prosaic broadcast business intersect, MTV Base’s legacy of excellence can be attributed to a single feature: uncompromising focus on quality content. From the moment the channel made its first broadcast of Innocent ‘2Face’ Idibia’s “African Queen” on DSTV Channel 88 to the redefining era brought about by MTV Africa Music Award (MAMA), and now to the present day, MTV Base Africa has been unmistakable about its mission: “showcasing Africa to the world” in its most authentic form. From the “self-imposed quota of 30% African music” at inception in 2005, today the 24-hour music television and general entertainment channel has grown exponentially in contents and viewership, reaching more than 180 million viewers in about 50 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Birthing the vision

Armed with ‘just’ determination to succeed and sterling academic records after a string of scholarly exploits in the United States of America, Alex Okosi, Managing Director of MTV Networks Africa, then a young graduate was able to secure a high profile placement with Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN), owners of MTV Networks International. His rise to the Viacom’s top echelon afforded him the influence and opportunity to propose the MTV Base Africa. The channel, according to Okosi, was not only going to project positive view of Africa, it was also to promote Africa’s diverse music scene and vibrant youth culture.

“As a young person who has grown up on both sides of the world, there were a lot of times you weren’t proud to be an African because the only images you saw were of dying and starving people. I just focused on the fact that there’s this great opportunity to do something that I believe would enable us and our youth culture to be projected in the most different way,” Okosi reasoned.

Television business is not one venture to be founded on optimism and passion only; empirical data on the size of African advertising market and a working system have pivotal roles to play in its sustenance and success. These were not available as Okosi had to convince VIMN leadership with unflinching persuasion and a business plan laced with figures and facts gathered through his networks in Africa. “It’s always difficult when you are sitting behind a desk trying to find data on Africa; it doesn’t exist.”

After some initial hesitancy and ambivalence, VIMN agreed to flow with Okosi’s conviction more on the need to complete the MTV global picture since every region of the world but Africa had MTV presence; though, Okosi’s proposal made sense to its employers from the creative and growth standpoints. Eventually, Okosi scaled the approval hurdle; and behold, MTV Base Africa was birthed.



Let the show begin

“We’ve made it symbolic by making it (MTV Base Africa) our 100th channel. It’s symbolic because we have a tremendous belief in the role that music from Africa can play…Our aim is to be very aggressive, creative, even relentless in getting our channel out to as many households as possible in Africa.” With these words from then president of MTV Networks International, Bill Roedy, a new vista of entertainment broadcasting was opened in Africa at the glossy launch of the MTV Base Africa on February 22, 2005 in Johannesburg, which featured late President Nelson Mandela, Will Smith, Ludacris, Lebo Mathosa, Mandoza, Seun and the Egypt 80 Band, and others.

MTV Base Africa’s first and biggest challenge it had to surmount was the poor quality of African music videos, which ordinarily were going to form the bulk of 30% African content quota. Changing the game was the only option available; as such, the channel embarked on series of trainings for artists, producers and directors in its key markets. Experienced directors of international repute were brought to work together with their African peers with the aim to help them shoot better music video. It even went as far as creating free music videos for a number of artists.

“That helped create what we have today which is an incredibly exciting African music market where we are now having African music videos being played in........

Stress is anything that puts you under pressure unduly, making you feel uncomfortable and threatened. In our various relationships, we often encounter situations and circumstances that tend to give us pressure but keep us going for good. Examples could be family relocation, coping with change of job or promotion for one of the spouses, the birth of a baby and so on. But when we encounter situations that upset our balance and undermine our physical and emotional well being, then such is not good for us. The irony of this is that some of us are into things that cause stress for us in our relationships but we are oblivious of them because our focus is on another thing yet our efficiency and productivity in our relationships are being limited by these things. We shall be talking about these things this week because if we are smart enough, these issues could be worked on and give us a lot of relief in our relationships.




1. Differences in Upbringing: When two people come together in a relationship especially marriage, they come in with different outlooks to life in general as a result of their upbringing and this is bound to cause tension among them initially. Majority of the issues we encounter in our relationships could be traced to this; she was brought up to eat out most times but he was a highly domesticated person. He is used to eating food freshly prepared but she is used to cooking for a month and storing in the freezer. She was brought up to know that a good marriage is when a man can provide absolutely for the needs of the family but to him, marriage is a joint venture. He eats with average of three pieces of meat per meal but she wasn’t brought up with that luxury…the list is endless! When couples are not careful with themselves, these differences would import stress into their marriages and make them start focusing on less important things and before they know it, it would rock the boat of their relationship. It is always advisable for couples to first show understanding for each other on where each is coming from and secondly be patient with one another over the years while they seek to establish and get used to their own way of doing things not from what they are both used to but what works for them. However, that doesn’t mean that they can’t find equilibrium based on what their backgrounds already tossed on them.



2. Finance: Any day, anytime, finance will always cause stress in relationships where the partners involved have not designed a system that works for them either consciously or unconsciously. This has got nothing to do with its inadequacy due to the fact that we have discovered that where couples have more than enough to go for them, they still get stressed up and argue over money because one of the parties is trying to be funny with the finance. When couples don’t have a definite plan on what comes in and goes out, when either of the party is not straight forward with the laid down arrangement or a wrong pattern of spending is not curtailed, couples will always have issues with each other. This could be avoided if couples try and identify what works for them in terms of spending pattern and keep to it. It should be noted also that when a habit of openness is cultivated with each other the stress is also reduced. Joint account? This may not really mean joint bank accounts. It’s rather about a believe system that we both own our money and we are accountable to spend and grow it. I have seen a lot of couples with joint bank accounts yet each still keep separate accounts unknown to each other. That’s stress and irresponsible style in........

“People try to minimise the differences when they are in love”. Joel Crohn.

Last week, I published the story of two intending couples with serious religious complications on their hands, catalysed by the fact that they attend different assemblies of worship. While Christopher was ready to jettison his own assembly after marriage in order to please his wife to be, but for a major constraint, Ruth wasn’t ready to even shift an inch due to her loyalty to her long time assembly. I appreciate the comments that came in, both on this platform and other ones like Facebook inbox, emails and so on. As a result of this, I have decided to do a rejoinder so that we can have a very balanced perspective. Did you miss the story last week? Please read it up here before you go ahead: http://expressng.com/2015/07/we-are-both-christians-yet-religion-is-stopping-our-marriage-realitywithtid/



Is anyone out there having the same or similar experience with Ruth and Christopher’s and you are at a seemingly cross-road? Please, admit with me that it’s not an issue that should be treated with levity. The first thing I need you to understand is that religious difference is a major issue that should not be overlooked especially when the knot has not been tied. Dismissing its seriousness with a “God will take control” cliché could be detrimental to your relationship in future and that is if you have not been denying some damages even as at now that you are dating. If you find yourself in such a situation, do not live in denial, admit there is a big issue to face with your partner so, pause and deal with it in the most objective way. This is because religious difference shouldn’t be seen as one of those minor issues you can drop till after you are married…No! Solve it before you proceed to the altar so that each of you will have a direction to work with. But if it cannot be resolved, then it will be better for the two of you to put an end to the relationship! I will be the last person to advice any intending couple to go ahead and get married while this problem boils within them. That is a big error because it’s like having a timed-bomb in your hands that can explode at any given time!



While trying to deal with this issue, you both need to understand that one of the greatest tools to use is effective communication. You cannot under-estimate its effectiveness. None of you should ever sit down and assume inaccurately about the other person’s point of view, rather, sit down and talk eyeball to eyeball about it in the most unambiguous way and the best time to do it is now. Everybody has a story behind his or her actions and proper communication can bring to open the deepest fear which your partner could have been nurturing for years. When this happens, that could be all you would need as a solution to the problem at hand.



However, before you get to this point, may I ask, how much of your partner’s religion do you know? Have you worshipped with him or her before and how often have you done that? Have you made your independent research to know what the religion stands for? What does the setup look like and what do they have to offer especially families? How much do you know about their leaders? From your observation, do you think his or her religious choice will have a positive impact on your future home? If you have mixed feelings about the setup, have you shared it with your partner in a way that will make him or her see your point objectively? All these and more are what you need to explore before you take your decision either for or against. The point is, it’s not just enough to be obsessed about your religion when in the actual fact you know little or nothing about your partner’s. You never can tell, your partner’s could even be......

“Lots of things can be fixed. But many times, relationships between people cannot be fixed, because they should not be fixed. You’re aboard a ship setting sail, and the other person has joined the inland circus, or is boarding a different ship, and you just can’t be with each other anymore. Because you shouldn’t be”. – C. JoyBell C.



When two people begin to date each other, most of the times, it’s usually difficult for one or both of them to face reality especially when emotion is deeply involved. This apparently makes ending a relationship become a difficult task even when one or both of them know it is the right thing to do. It baffles me when I hear married couples complain about certain sensitive behaviours from their spouses but claimed they knew about it before marriage but decided to patch things up thinking they could change anyone or marriage will change them. The truth is that no miracle happens at the point of exchange of marital vows.

Read More: NO MIRACLE HAPPENS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY! – REALITY WITH TOYIN IDOWU



The objective of this write-up is to let you know that if you are dating someone, don’t get your brain shut down. Know where to draw the line, recognise your threshold and take a bow as soon as the signal comes out clearer. Now, at what point do you kiss your relationship bye-bye?



When You Experience Continuous Fear:

If your relationship has got little or nothing to offer apart from fear and continuous loss of peace, I think that’s a sign that you need to evaluate and call it quits because it automatically means that you are not happy. At the dating stage of your relationship, when nothing is cast on stone yet, where you are supposed to be free with one another, yet you are not free to express your mind, most times, you have to rehearse and scheme before you make your contributions, or each time you are together, you are just extra ordinarily careful….too too careful! Not because of any form of ill-mannerisms but perhaps due to control, manipulation and inability to understand your partner, then you need to consider moving on after you might have tried your best to work it out. If you can’t be happy now, you can’t be happy in the future when he or she gains total freedom on you.



When Physical Abuse Is Involved:

Physical abuse is something I will never encourage anyone to tolerate at any level and for whatever reason. When he or she attacks you physically and apologises, maybe over a minor issue, there is every tendency that he or she will repeat it again and I don’t think you should experiment that further. For some of you, you may not need to wait till when the real action is displayed but you already have pointers to work with. Take for example, during your normal argument; you hear words like; I feel like slapping you or if you say anything further I can bounce on you etc. These words are not to be excused as mere threats that accidentally spill out because of anger. He or she will definitely carry out the threat sooner or later. What if he or she just gives you an ordinary push on your chest or touches your nose with his or her finger in a derogatory and disrespectful manner?



When There Is Undue Control And Manipulation:

Are you made to do what you normally wouldn’t do by force? Are you made to behave in a manner not comfortable for you or do things against your principles and values? For example, if you are forced or coerced into stealing some valuable items from your parents, manipulated into having sex when you don’t want to or asked to keep malice with someone. These are very strong indications that you are not in a healthy relationship and unhealthy relationship will lead you nowhere except heart aches.



When There Is Lack Of Commitment:

Commitment is one of the signs that depict a relationship is heading somewhere meaningful. But when your partner is not committed to you whether in word or in deed, then it could be an indication that such is not looking at the future with you. You have been dating someone for two years and you have not been properly introduced to any member of his or her family, you can’t say exactly who his or her trusted friend is, you sacrifice for the relationship alone yet you can’t really place your finger on what he or she is up to. When it happens this way, one needs to ask “what if I’m just a second fiddle?”



When There Is Lack Of Respect:

Respect is one of the most important element in having a great marriage and it simply means valuing one another. Naturally, human beings gravitate more to where they are respected and valued as a person. No human being would naturally want to keep hanging around someone who talks to them anyhow. When you respect me, it means you choose your words carefully even when I say anything you consider as foolish, you won’t call me an idiot because of that. When you respect me, you honour my boundaries by not deliberately pushing me beyond my emotional limit. Admitting when you are wrong is a lot of respect. If you respect me, you won’t make jest of me or speak in a derogatory manner because of my inadequacies even though you point them out. When these things are lacking in the relationship, then there is nothing left than to take a walk! Anotherinteresting thing about respect which many people don’t understand is when you push your partner against all odds to upgrade, it shows you so much value such a person that you are concerned about him or her not staying long on a spot. That’s respect!

When Either Of The Party Is Not Honest And Straight Forward:

A lot of relationships these days lack trust and I am yet to see any relationship that thrives without trust. Absence of honesty and straightforwardness puts a strain on a relationship because it drives the partner beyond what he or she can cope with. Do you have a partner whose movements are not so clear? Are there stories almost every time some sensitive issues like money, career, and relationship with opposite sex arise? Do you always feel the need for.......

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has stated that he would not join the league of other Nigerians attacking President Muhammadu Buhari for reportedly saying that he age might limit his performance.

Buhari, had On Monday evening, while addressing the Nigerian community at the Nigerian Consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa, said “I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do.”

A statement that has attracted nationwide criticisms from angry Nigerians who have been calling on the president to take the exit door if he’s not capable of facing the heat of governance.
Meanwhile, the presidency had in a statement issued Wednesday night stated the Buhari, 72, was quoted out of context.

The statement described the Daura-born ex warlord as an ‘old wine whose taste gets better with age.’

However, Fayose who had earlier called for the president’s disqualification over issue bothering on age, said Nigerians should pray for the new leader instead of attacking.

“No, no, we cannot comment on that, but all that we owe the President is to pray for him to be able to do the demands of his office,” the governor’s spokesman, Mr. Lere Olayinka said yesterday.

When it comes to cheating in relationships, I don’t believe there are any definitive or set clues. He could be working late, or cheating late. He could be dressing up for you or his mistress. Sadly, that’s what makes this cheating so confusing and hurtful. When you trust your spouse, you trust his explanations. But there are always certain things that get our antennae up and trust me sister, they don’t seem to change much over the years, although with the advent of technology, those little hints now seem to involve a lot more cellphones and social media and a lot less lipstick on the collar. Here are 10 classic signs your man might be cheating.



He starts dressing better.

Did your man suddenly morph from baggy shirts, fades jeans and dirty boots to smart suits and shiny loafers? You should be worried, I mean, why he sudden change? I’d also add that if he starts wearing cologne all of a sudden, or changing the cologne he always wears to something new. Could be a sign the mistress or side chick gave him a bottle that she likes better.



Guarding the cellphone.

This is one I’ve heard a lot in my girlfriend circles; if he suddenly starts sleeping with the phone by his bedside, or taking it into the shower with him, there is something wrong. He may also turn it off when you’re together under the guise that he doesn’t want to be disturbed while he’s with you while all he is trying to avoid is the of risk her texting or calling while you’re there. If he won’t even let you touch his phone, girl, sumpthin’ up.



Password protecting everything.

It’s prudent to password protect your phone and other devices in this day and age, but it can also be a sign if he suddenly starts doing it when he never cared before. Oh and if he refuses to give you the password he is definitely doing something wrong.



He begins making hurtful remarks about you.

Picking fights all of a sudden is a classic ploy. This way if he ever gets caught, he can blame it on you and say you two were always fighting!



He begins to drop a female name into his conversations.

I’ve heard this one before, that a guy having an affair will start bringing up a certain woman all of the time. Apparently it gives him an adrenaline rush to feel like he can talk about her and get away with it. I’d also add that if he avoids......

His recognition came on the cusp of his stunning display against Cleveland Cavaliers’ Lebrin James.

The 31 year old Iguodala who is born to a Nigerian father and American mother also made history last night — becoming the first player to be named MVP (Most Valuable Player) without starting every game.

When Iguodala was on the floor, he made sure Lebron James hardly touched the ball, reducing James’ shots from the field to 38.1%

Until the moment, Mavin Records singer D’Prince announced that he is now a father, her ID was unknown and so was her pregnancy status.

It was observed that D’Prince is carefully protecting his sweetheart from undue exposure to the public.

Largely, not much is known about the background of the mother of one except for minuscule details.

Rapper Mykki Blanco dropped a bombshell on fans by revealing his HIV Positive status in a post on his official Facebook page.



Blanco is known as a pioneer in the rap community as one of the few openly gay artists working today. He has previously identified himself as transgender and as a cross-dresser.



Born in Quattlebaum, Orange County, California as Michael David Quattlebaum Jr. on born April 2, 1986), the eccentric personality is an American rapper, performance artist, poet and activist.



“I’ve been HIV Positive since 2011, my entire career,” Blanco wrote. “F–k stigma and hiding in the dark, this is my real life. I’m healthy I’ve toured the world 3 times but I’ve been living in the dark, it’s time to actually be as punk as I say I am,” he admitted.



Fans voiced their support for Blanco’s admission, with one writing “Much love and respect. Silence = Death.”



Blanco most recently released the studio album “Michael” in 2015, and is known for his single “Wavvy,” which debuted in 2012.



The hip hop community’s acceptance of gay performers has been center stage of late, thanks in part to the shows like Fox’s “Empire,” which features Jussie Smollett as the gay son of a rap mogul who decides to forge his own career in music.

Yes, I can say I’m perfect in love making, but don’t forget I said I love doing it with someone I love. I do have it as long as my partner wants it. I won’t hesitate if he demands for a marathon sex daily. On how I feel if I don’t have it in a week, I will implore you to get me......

OAP and Show host, Toke Makinwa is maturedly handling the sudden crash of her marriage to fitness trainer, Maje Ayida.

She thanked her fans and well-wishers in her latest update on instagram and promisedto continue with her vlog this week.

Hear her, “The amount of emails I have received from women across the world going thru difficult situations is heartbreaking. (Thank you all for sharing). In a world where the popular belief out there is that women hate each other, women can’t stand each other, etc. I have gotten emails/calls from women sharing their own personal pain and that is courageous.

I can’t reply everyone, (even though i honestly wish i could.) It is Funny how God uses even the most unbelievable things to bless you. I have been given a voice, a platform, (i don’t even know how it’s all happened) but I woke up one day and I found God and with that came purpose. It’s never about you, as hard as it seems, sometimes you go thru things not for you but for the people around you who need direction, a word of prayer or more. May God heal every broken heart out there, may his light give you the courage to begin to love yourself.

It is tough being a woman, the preasure is real. You don’t have to be a victim, you can rise above it all. Do not let society tell you otherwise. Be Bold, Be Strong. Trust God’s purpose for your life and keep shinning. *And Yes, to all the people asking, there is a Vlog this week *
Good Morning

Skales, former EME’s signee has again opened up the fresh wounds of his fight with his ex-colleague, Wizkid.
Although the young rapper who recently released his debut album, ‘Man Of The Year,’is still basking in the euphoria that accompanied his album release party which attracted a lot of top guns in the entertainment industry, but he is yet to total let go of the hurt he is feeling inside.
Clearing the real reasons he didn’t bother featuring either Wizkid or BankyW on his debut album, the Kaduna State born ‘Shake body’ crooner said,
“It’s not by force to feature them. Besides, everybody have their different schedules, so the time didn’t fit in for us all. This album had been ready a long time ago, so that’s another reason.”
On the nature of his disagreement with Wizkid and whether they had mended fences, Skales added that he has since moved on with his back and has no intentions to look back.
“Whatever happened has happened. Me, I’ve moved on.” he concluded.

Here are five big revelations we learnt from First Lady, Aisha Buhari when she hosted Nigerian women and youths to an appreciation dinner.

The event held at the Presidential Villa or Aso Rock as it is popularly called on Saturday.



*Presidential Aides And PAs Are Powerful!

It is the people that are around him (President Muhammadu Buhari) that will determine the political health of our state. So, the people that are going to be around President Buhari have to be very careful because this election ended peacefully. We are praying and hoping that people around him should know that it took him 12 years to get to that position and they must know that they are coming to serve the masses, not General Buhari.



*People Paid $30,000 to $50,000 To See Jonathan

I will like to inform you that in the past regime, whether it is true or false, only God knows, some people were going round and parading themselves as PAs. If you wanted to see the First Lady, you will pay $30,000, $50,000 and if you are seeing the President, you will pay all that you have gathered in your lifetime.



*Why I Did Not Appear In Previous Campaigns

Many people did not know why I was not appearing for the last three campaigns. I appeared only this time and I think it made a lot of difference. A lot of people said my husband earned four million votes as a result of my campaign.



*Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Wooed Her

It was my personal decision not to come out for campaign because I needed to take care of the home front while her husband was in....
