RomanceHow To Approach And Talk To Any Nigerian Woman With Confidence by Handsome777(op): 4:37pm On Aug 26, 2016
Question: I have a problem. Every time I come up to a girl I like, it's as though in my mind I already know what say and how to get her to smile. But when I actually talk to a girl, I get too nervous for words and I start to stutter and I forget how to carry on the conversation at all!

If you could help me out, that'd be great.

Answer: First of all, this is a really common problem. To a certain extent, we all face fear and nervousness when we talk to women or approach them. There are 4 things you can do:

1. You need to have a lot more practice.
Practice talking to every woman around you until it's not so scary. Say "hi" or just ask any question under the sun. This will desensitize you to the process of interacting with women.

2. Practice asking the questions OUT LOUD, when you alone.
Keep preparing. Memorize a few questions or routines and say them out loud 20 times a day. The more you feel prepared, the more you will be prepared. Having said what you have to say will give you confidence.

3. Watch and NOT approach.
For a few weeks when you see a girl you want to talk to, consciously DO NOT approach her. Instead, run a practice of what you COULD say in your mind instead. Say those things out loud, later, when you are alone. This again will help it feel natural when you actually do it.

4. Do fear-reducing exercises.
If panic or anxiety is an issue, deal with it. Do deep breathing exercises, visualize yourself being calmer, and create a mental "happy place" to help deal with fear.

Victims of Ekiti drowning incident not World Bank officials- Agency

The Third National Urban Water Sector Reform said on Thursday that the four workmen who drowned in Ekiti on Thursday are not World Bank officials as generally reported.

The agency in a statement issued late on Thursday by it’s Communication Specialist, Nancy Otagbo, said the deceased which it identified as Alaran Tirimisiyu, Abdulwaheed Alayande, David Malu and Albert were surveyors.

The names of the survivors, according to the statement, are Charles Eninlaye, Bukky Ajet and Yahaya.

“The Unfortunate drowning of four workmen working as topo-surveyors on Egbe Dam is highly regretted and unfortunate and a loss too many.”

“The Third National Urban Water Sector Reform Project is a project funded by the World Bank with a target to achieve maximum reform in Ekiti State water sector.

“While we lament the sad loss, we wish to state that the Consultant was awarded the assignment to carry out Bathymetry Survey of four dams in the state biz: Ureje, Egbe, Itapaji and Ero.

“The sad incident happened because some safety measures were not adhered to by the deceased: refusal to wear life jackets and those who survived wore life jackets provided by the company.

“It should be noted that neither World Bank official nor Water Corporation staff member was involved. Ekiti State Government commiserates with the families of the departed and pray God to grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”

Why You Should Be Careful When Dating
Babes From Broken Homes

Be extremely careful when dealing with a woman
who grew up in a family where the father walked
out at a tender age.

At an early age, the father, the dominant male figure
in the house, is symbolic of his gender.

Abandonment creates issues of guilt in the child,
and does a number on the girl's ability to trust men
and her unconscious opinion of men on the whole.

If the mother shields the girl from the full impact of
the blow by not being bitter and by being careful not
to tarnish the father image, or if the girl simply gets
over it, then so be it. However, if the mother
became bitter, then that bitterness tends to pass on
to the daughter.

The daughter, in turn, later goes on to test men
rigorously, trying to make them jump through
burning hoops before she lets down her guard,
because at a young age, her trust in men was
shaken.

However, she is not necessarily attracted to the
men who put up with her bullshit and stick to her
even though she blows hot one minute, and cold air
he next. Women who have this problem have
serious baggage, and you have to decide if she is
worth it.

If you decide that she is, you have to walk a
tightrope. Your behavior should subtly convey that
you will not hurt her, but do not jump through her
hoops. Never be more than 5 minutes late for a
date, and if you say you will call at a certain time,
call at exactly that time. But if she is late do not
wait for her, and when she is acting coldly, do not
tolerate her mood swings.

In other words, you have to still be a challenge, but
be trustworthy. It is a delicate balance, and few can
master it. Gentlemen, this is from personal
experience with such women. When you are talking
to a girl and she tells you that her father walked out
when she was little, proceed with extreme caution.

“The accused is a chief security officer at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government in Lagos State.

“A police team who were on bank surveillance patrol saw the accused with an unregistered motorcycle and an army face cap.

“When he was questioned how he came about the cap, could not give a satisfactory explanation.

“Usman lives with his brother, who is an army officer attached to Mayan Army Barracks in Yaba and it was discovered that the cap belongs to him.

“The accused had resigned as a security officer to use his motorcycle for commercial purposes because his salary was not paid in time, “ Sgt. Christopher Okoliko said.

Romance3 Reasons Why Beautiful Women Test Men Before Saying 'Yes' by Handsome777(op): 7:26am On Aug 25, 2016
3 Reasons Why Beautiful Women
Test Men

Most women, especially beautiful women who are
accustomed to being approached all the time,
devise ways to try to "tell things" about men by
observing certain aspects of their behavior, or by
telling them things and judging them according to
how they react. In short, women 'test' men,
especially ones who they feel some attraction
to,sometimes knowingly, sometimes not.

But why?

The reasons are as follows:

1) Defense Mechanism

Women do not like to be taken for granted. Do you
know what is the single most common piece of
advice that women give each other?

"Don't make yourself too available."

If all the tests and games that women play could
be represented as a pyramid, with each level
depending on the one below it, (something like
Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs) then this
phrase would form the base of the pyramid. Most
female tricks rest on this fundamental principle.

One of the greatest fears that a woman has is that
she will give her heart to a man too easily, and that
he will take her for granted and break her heart.

Women confuse men, feign disinterest and act
evasive at times in order to try to communicate to
men that they cannot be taken for granted. In case
you did not know, women absolutely hate to be
taken for granted. If you remember anything from
this article, remember that.

2) Screening Process

As any good article will tell you, women are
attracted to men who are a challenge and are
disinterested in men who they think like them too
much, or who are needy.

Women who can afford to be very selective are
attracted to men whose attention they cannot take
for granted. This makes a man different than the
rest of her hapless admirers who flatter her
incessantly.

Women sometimes test men to find out what
category a man fits in. If a woman cancels on a
man, and she likes him, she may tell him that she
is very sorry and that she will call him and make it
up to him. Then, instead of calling, she sits back and
waits to see what he will do.

If he calls within three days to either set up another
date or to ask why she didn't call, or if he calls at
all within three days for any reason, he has failed.
If he calls after three days, he has barely passed, it is
up to her discretion. If he simply refuses to call
until she contacts him, then he has aced the test with
flying colors.

The idea is that the needy guy is insecure and
needs assurance, so he calls too soon. The
average guy calls after three days, he's neither here nor there. The real man doesn't call until he hears from
her because he is patient, secure, has his own life,
and knows that the ball is in her court.

PoliticsSignificance Of John Kerry's Visit To Sokoto by Handsome777(op): 7:09pm On Aug 24, 2016
Significance of John Kerry's Visit to
Sokoto

Sokoto - Early this week, US Secretary of State,
John Kerry was in Nigeria and
met with President Muhammadu Buhari and the
Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Sa'ad III. The visit was
Kerry's third to Nigeria in the past 20
months.

The first time Kerry was in Nigeria as Secretary of
State, he was in
Lagos, which is in the South and the commercial
capital of Nigeria
obviously to strengthen economic relations
between US and Nigeria. The
second time, Kerry flew straight to Abuja, which is
in the centre and
the political capital of Nigeria, to meet with Buhari
as President Barack Obama's envoy. But the third
time Kerry visited Nigeria in his official capacity,
he headed first to Sokoto, which is in the North.

In Sokoto, Kerry paid a courtesy call to the Sultan
who is the most
powerful Muslim in the country and the supreme
leader of Nigeria's
Muslim community. This visit shows a desire of
the United States of America to directly interface
and work with the
Muslim community.

Analysing Kerry's speech in Sokoto, it can be
clearly seen his message was targeted at
Nigerians in general telling us what we have been
doing well and what needed to be improved upon.
Nothing he said came as a surprise or was of great
an importance as to
make it necessary for him to be physically present
In Sokoto.

However, Kerry was in Sokoto with the approval of
Obama who is
renowned for his liberal leanings towards Muslims
globally, which
lends support to the idea Kerry's visit to Sultan
Sa'ad III was in
accordance with the desire of United State of
America to hobnob with
the Muslim community in Nigeria.

are the days were parents have to choose
everything for their children. Nowadays, they
support their children in achieving their dreams.

Which artistes inspire you the most?

I will say 2baba..

In what ways are you promoting your brand in order
to join the list of A-list artistes in the country?

I'm just going to make good music with great
sounds and be consistent.

You're currently promoting a song. tell us what
inspired it?

The song is titled "kilofe" and it's actually my first
song to drop. It's a song that talks about lovers
so it's basically a love song.

What goals have you set for yourself in music?

I want to standout in the music industry all over the
world. Nothing last forever so before I grow old, I
want to be listed among the great that Africa
produced.

Who is your female celebrity crush and why?

I love every one of them, but i think Yemi Alade is
incredibly sexy and extremely Talented, Tiwa
Savage is doing what no one thought was possible,
and Uzo Aduba is making us proud in Hollywood.

‘ Doctor’ in EFCC Net Over N 6.7m
Love Scam

The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, has arrested one Chike
Nnaemeka, alias Dr. Justified Isioma Nnaemeka
Emerald, for conspiracy and obtaining money
under false pretence to the tune of about
N6.7million.

Nnaemeka, who claimed to be a gynaecologist,
allegedly collected the sum of money, under
different requests, from his victim, Ani Nkechi
Joy, an employee of the Federal Road Safety
Commission, FRSC, after she was introduced to
him by one of her classmates at the Federal
Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra State.

Following their meeting, the suspect, who also
claimed to be an orphan and a lone Prince of
Ihekpe Kingdom in Ogwuashi-Uku, Delta State,
was joined in a traditional wedding with the victim
on June 6, 2015.

In her petition, the complainant said: ‘‘During the
wedding preparation, Justified brought up so many
stories bordering on cultural issues
that I or anyone from my family is not
supposed to visit his home town until after my
marriage. He also said that the tradition of his
place as a lone Prince demands that I sponsor
every financial aspect of the traditional
marriage, but that he would refund me to the last
one Naira I spent.”

However, the complainant became ensnared in the
suspect’s web of lies when he claimed to
have properties that both Zenith Bank Plc and
Diamond Bank Plc were purportedly interested
in.

The suspect was said to have shown the
complainant some documents to the
properties, while also requesting her to provide
some money to enable him complete the process.
Unsuspectingly, the complainant allegedly
transferred some amounts of money to the
suspect, after being assured that he would
refund her.

But on December 23, 2015, the suspect
allegedly left the house on the pretence that he
was going to sign the agreement papers with the
respective bank to finalise the transaction.
He, however, did not return home until
December 29, 2015.

According to the complainant, the suspect allegedly
claimed that the lawyer to the bank
had died and that his lawyer would not allow
anyone else to sign the papers, except a legal
practitioner.

At this stage, the complainant became
suspicious and made frantic efforts to inquire
about the suspect’s real identity and what he does
for a living from some of his acquaintances.

Also, the complainant alleged that the suspect stole
the sum of $3000 belonging to her boss.

When the complainant asked the suspect about the
missing money, the suspect allegedly said
that the Chief Priest of his village said it was aspirit
that stole it.

Meanwhile, investigation has revealed that the
suspect, who is married to another woman who
had three children for him, also lied that his mother
passed on some years back.

The suspect will soon be charged to court, after
investigation is concluded.

PoliticsFayose Fails In Bid To Stop EFCC From Probing Ekiti Finances by Handsome777(op): 1:22am On Aug 19, 2016
EKITI - An Ekiti State High Court in Ado Ekiti on
Thursday declined to grant an ex-parte order
sought by the Ekiti state government to restrain
EFCC from investigating the finances of the state.

The Nigerian Interest reports that Justice Cornelius Akintayo refused to grant the order on the grounds that all the defendants in thecase must first be put on notice to enable them prepare for their defence at the court.

The judge consequently adjourned the suit to
August 23 and ordered all parties in the suit to
appear before him when the motion on notice
would be heard.

The suit was filed by Ekiti State Attorney General
and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Owoseni Ajayi,
to stop the impending investigation of the accounts
of the state government by the anti graft agency.

Another relief sought by the plaintiffs was an order
stopping the arrest of the Commissioner for
Finance, Accountant General and the managers of
the banks in which the state has commitments.

Defendants in the suit including the Speaker of the
House of Assembly, EFCC, Independent Corrupt
Practices and Other Related Offences Commission
(ICPC), Department of State Services (DSS),
Commissioner for Finance,

Accountant General and five banks doing business
with state government and the managers of those
banks.

The plaintiffs were represented by J. Ejelonu, a
lawyer in the chambers of the Attorney General
held brief for Ahmed Raji (SAN) who argued the
motion ex parte.

Commenting on the ruling,, a legal practitioner,
Kolade Ilesanmi, who came for another matter in
the same court commended Justice Akintayo for
rejecting the motion to prevent the
anti-grant agencies from investigating Ekiti
government accounts.

“Myself and another counsel, Abubakar
Ajibade,are here in the same court for different
matters but we stood up as friends of the Court
and commend the judge for the ruling.

“We also adverted the minds of the Court to similar
case before the Akwa Ibom High Court in which
the judge granted a motion Exparte
which has now landed him trouble with the National
Judicial Council (NJC).

“From the legal point of view, any matter involving
federal institutions is usually heard by the Federal
High Court save for the matters that border on
Fundamental Rights enforcement
in which both the Federal High Courts and State
High Courts are seized with jurisdiction”, he said

Victim

Abuja - The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), through its South East Zonal
Head of Operations, Mr Obioha Okorie, has
released a bank draft of N500,000 to one Dr.
Veronica Ibeziako, a retired Chief Magistrate in
Anambra.

A statement issued by Mr Wilson Uwujaren, the
commission`s Head of Media and Publicity on
Thursday in Abuja, said that the money was
recovered for Ibeziako.

“The former magistrate was swindled by
fraudsters while seeking for financial assistance to
enable her to proceed for medical treatment
abroad,’’ the statement quoted Uwujaren as saying.

Uwujaren said in the statement that Ibeziako was
billed for a surgical procedure abroad, which was
going to cost N3 million, adding that she was
defrauded of N500,000.

The EFCC spokesman said that though
investigations into the matter were still
ongoing, the recovered fund had been released to
the victim. This, he said, was to enable her to
attend to her financial and medical needs.

*FCT Motorists Decry Abandoned Bridge
Projects*


ABUJA – Motorists in the Federal Capital Territory,
FCT, especially those plying the Abuja- Keffi express way yesterday decried the abandonment of
major bridge projects expected to ease traffic
gridlock between the city centre and several satellite towns.

They lamented the abandoned bridges saying that
the projects, if completed will not only make movement easier for motorists but also add value to the well-being of residents of Abuja.

A visit to the construction site of the popular AYA
bridge expected to link the city-centre to other parts of the FCT show that work has been suspended. Some motorists who spoke with Nigerian Interest said the recurrent traffic jams that occur along Nyanya, Mararaba, New Nyanya, and Masaka roads, especially in the morning and evening hours of weekdays are caused by the abandoned bridge project.

Dennis Umeh, a commercial motorist who plies
Abuja-Keffi route, called for government attention saying that the Federal Capital Development Authority,
FCDA, should concentrate on completing on-going
abandoned bridge projects before initiating new ones.

“The FCDA should rise to its mandate and complete
abandoned brigdes before beginning fresh ones. Even if there are issues with contractors, they should
resolve it because the masses are becoming more
and more impatient with the government.” He lamented.

Others said the abandoned AYA bridge which links
the city centre with other parts of FCT has turned nightmare for workers who transit to work from
Abuja-Keffi express way because of the traffic
gridlocked experienced along that axis on a daily basis.

They described the abandonment as waste of
public fund since the benefits of the projects are
neither enjoyed by motorists nor residents.

A staff of FCDA, who spoke under anonymity,
identified dwindling revenue of the federal government among reasons some ongoing bridge projects could
not be completed. He however appealed to
motorists to exercise patience

Foreign AffairsMajority Of US Youths Reject Trump - Poll by Handsome777(op): 4:43pm On Aug 16, 2016
Majority of US Youths Reject Trump - Poll

A report on Tuesday in Washington said majority of U.S. youths had rejected Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump’s strategy of wooing young supporters of Bernie Sanders, former Democratic presidential candidate.

The latest USA Today/Rock-the-Vote poll released showed that in spite of his strategy of patching bipartisan coalition by appealing to young supporters of Sanders, a new poll found that his populist play had failed among millennial.

The poll found that while 56 per cent of voters under 35 years, say they would vote for Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, one in five in this age group support Trump.

It added that Clinton trounced Trump among Sanders’ supporters, with 72 per cent, supporting the former Secretary of State and 11 per cent backing Trump.

U.S. Census Bureau data released in April showed that the number of the millennial generation, now 18 years to 34 years, was estimated to be 75.4 million.

USA Today and Rock vote showed that young adults may reject the Republican nominee at an unprecedented rate during this election cycle.

According to the poll, Trump’s support among young voters was even lower than the estimated 32 per cent of support Richard Nixon received among 18years-to-29-year old voters in 1972 amid widespread protest against the Vietnam War.

Meanwhile, the poll offered the latest evidence for verifying the widely perceived allegation that a majority of supporters of both nominees may base their allegiance not on approval of their nominee but rejection of the other.

According to the poll, 54 per cent of Trump supporters and 51 per cent of Clinton supporters say one of the main reasons they back the nominee is to keep the other out of the White House.

The prosecutor, Insp. George Nwosu, told the court that the accused committed the offences on July 20 at block 204 Flat 4, Abesan Housing Estate, Ipaja, Lagos.

He said that the accused had in his possession criminal charms and other dangerous weapons, in an attempt to use them to commit crime.

The offences, Nwosu said, contravened sections 166 and 133 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011, which on conviction attracts two-year imprisonment.

Major Dark spots in Abuja (Photos)

ABUJA - Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, especially the city centre is considered safe, especially when compared to other parts of the country. But the city which had in recent months witnessed a couple of murders and string of robberies also has its black spots. Criminals lurk around such spots which are usually deserted in the evenings and early mornings, looking for opportunities to strike.

While the usual victims are passer byes, investigations also revealed that some taxi operators collude with criminals by driving through the dangerous spots and slowing down or pretending that the cabs developed faults to enable their collaborators robbed the passenger(s) in their vehicles, mostly at gunpoint.

Struggling with the criminals had also proved fatal for many of many victims with corpses being picked up regularly at such spots by authority of the capital city. Most of these spots are well known by the high numbers of the city cabs drivers; most especially the non-printed cabs.
Pictures below show some of the major black spots in the city.

Walking on or around the bridge linking the famous Yar’Adua Centre and the National Mosque in the early hours of the morning or early evening can be a dangerous affair. There are daily reports of people, especially ladies being robbed of their bags, phones and other valuables by knife and other dangerous weapons wielding criminals. The criminals take cover in the thick vegetation around the area – cover to catch their victims unaware and also escaped there after any ‘operation.’

The Gudu roundabout, a major passage for those going into Garki and Apo area of the city is also a deadly place to be, especially in the evenings or early in the morning. Street urchins who who are never in short supply around the bush in the area regularly rob unsuspecting people with the aid of dangerous weapons.
