Family / Cynthia Osokogu – Sentiments And Reactions Brew As Case Gets Further Adjournment by IslaJenmi(f): 2:27pm On Nov 14, 2012
The murder case of Cynthia Osokogu who was allegedly killed by Facebook friends seems to be taking a rather slow move as it was adjourned again creating varied sentiments and reactions from the defendants.
At the Yaba Magistrate Court, the case which was earlier scheduled for November 5, 2012 for the hearing of the Director of Public Prosecutions letter of advice on the trial of the seven men accused of killing Osokogu was postponed again to November 27, 2012.
Although the duly signed letter was said to be available in court, the court refused to read it on the reason that it was not stamped. Moreover the presiding Magistrate of the court, Olalekan Aka-Bashorun was absent on leave at the time of the hearing.
Lawyers who spoke to newsmen at the court premises expressed their dissatisfaction over the delay. They lamented that it was rather unconstitutional to hold the suspects in custody for over 90days without convictions or bail.
The defendant for the two pharmacists, Barrister Chris Obiaka pointed out that the continuous detention of the suspects would have gross physiological and emotional effect on them in the long run.
However Police prosecutor, Chukwu Agwu, in charge of the Legal Department of the State Criminal Investigation Department, said he had yet to see the letter.
“I have not seen the DPP’s advice. Maybe they used different couriers who would serve us at different dates. As soon as we are served, the authorities would look at it and check the reasons adduced for whatever advice is given,” he said.

Police arrested seven persons in connection to the case. While five of the suspects Okwumo Nwabufo, Olisaeloka Ezike, Orji Osita (pharmacist), Chukwunonso Maduakor (pharmacist), and Gideon Okechukwu, are facing an eight count charge including rape, murder, robbery, and administering of obnoxious substance, two others Nonso Ezike and Chinonso Ezeaka are being charged with a two-count charge of receiving and selling Cynthia’s BlackBerry phone.

Celebrities / Janet Jackson Converts To Islam To Marry Qatari Billionaire – Halal “abda” Cha-c by IslaJenmi(f): 11:51am On Nov 14, 2012
Maybe she should change her name to Hamida Jackson. Or Halal Gold Digger.
Janet Jackson has converted to Islam, just like her Farrakhan acolyte bro, Jermaine Jackson (father to Jermajesty), in order to marry her Qatari billionaire fiance, Wissam Al Mana. Now, she will know what it’s like to be treated like an “abda”–a slave–since that’s how they look at Black people in the Muslim world. Yes, even the Jacksons.

Janet Jackson w/ Muslim Future Wissam Al Mana
Most White Muslims refer to Blacks–yes, even Black Muslims–as “abeed.” Literally it means “slaves” in Arabic, but it’s derogatory and the Arabic version of the N-word. “Abed” is the singular version of the word, and “abda” is the female version of the word. There is tremendous racism against Black people in the Islamic world, which is why they continue to slaughter Blacks in Sudan. First, the Sudanese Arab Muslims raped, tortured, and slaughtered the Black Christians, and then–when there were almost no Christians left, they began to rape, torture, and slaughter the Black Muslims of Sudan (and, when Muslims were being murdered, George Clooney and Angelina Jolie suddenly got concerned).
Hmmm . . . I wonder if the consistently hypocritical “Islamic modesty” will apply to Janet–er, “Sheikha Jackson if you’re nasty,” which the religion and people she’s marrying into certainly are. She’s already gotten a lot of practice wearing a hijab, as the photos above and below show (and don’t forget that her late brother Michael loved wearing the Muslim full ninja, the burqa). Also, will she be the only wife? Well, now that her music career has been over for several decades and her lawsuit to get Michael Jackson’s money away from his kids and into her pockets isn’t going anywhere, a chick’s gotta find a way to keep herself in style. And if ya can’t beat the jihad, join ‘em–that’s the ticket, right? File under, Hypocritical Gold-Digger Women We’d Like to See in a Burqa.
Janet Jackson and her fiancé Wissam Al Mana are reportedly planning to get married in Doha, Qatar in 2013.
The couple hope to tie the knot in Doha where the billionaire was born and are making arrangements for the ceremony to take place in 2013.
Janet and Wissam will be wedded in a Muslim ceremony. A renown [DS: sic] Turkish author, Adnan Oktar (aka Harun Yahya), is also making the claim that the 46-year-old Janet Jackson has converted to Islam — as did her brother, Michael Jackson — and is choosing to keep her new religion a secret from her fans.

Family / For My Ladies Please Learn From It - What Every Woman Should Know About Men by IslaJenmi(f): 4:16pm On Nov 13, 2012
Men don’t like women that are free with all men, that all men can touch her all over, if you are going to attract a husband, u have to have the qualities of a wife, one thing i do know is that most men do not like aggressive & domineering women.
For some women, every man that shows a little interest, they see as a potential husband, that will scare any man away, if u treat every man like a friend & brother, u will win d heart of some man. If u just talk to men anyhow & u have no respect for everyman around, no man will be attracted to you, some women are just talkative, they talk a mile a minute, u can’t get it right if u talk too much, u ask her one question, she volunteers d story of her entire life. Any man loves challenges, it is that lovely, well behaved woman that everyone says is hard to get,that most men would want to marry.
Most men hate it when a woman is stalking on them(trying to find out if he’s cheating or lying).
A man can love you forever if you can prove to him that you are different from the average girl he meets daily. Winning a man’s heart is the easiest thing to do,all the lady needs is to keep an arms-length and study his behaviours.

Men don’t appreciate ladies that are desperate, especially when it comes to getting married…Ladies,do nt let frustration lead u to desperation so as to avoid self-destruction

Health / Research Reveals Women In Happy Relationships Are More Likely To Survive Breast by IslaJenmi(f): 6:21pm On Nov 09, 2012
Women with breast cancer who are happily married have a better chance of survival than those in unhappy relationships, according to scientists.
Previous research has shown women with larger social networks are more likely to survive the disease. Now a new study has found the quality of a woman’s personal relationships are just as important as how many people she interacts with.
A team from the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in California studied 2,264 women who were diagnosed with early-stage, invasive breast cancer between 1997 and 2000.
After providing information on their personal relationships, they were characterised as socially isolated – few ties, moderately integrated, or socially integrated, with many ties.
Study leader Candyce Kroenke, said: ‘We found that women with small social networks had a significantly higher risk of mortality than those with large networks.’
The study found that socially isolated women were 34 per cent more likely to die from breast cancer or other causes than socially integrated women.

However, the quality of relationships also mattered. Women with a small group of unsupportive family and friends were 61 per cent more likely to die from cancer than those with a few highly-supportive supporters, according to the scientists.
Researchers measured levels of social support from friends and family using a survey that asked women to rate the quality of their relationships on a five-point scale within the past week.
For example, the questions included, ‘My family has accepted my illness,’ ‘family communication about my illness is poor,’ and ‘I feel distant from my friends.’
Based on their survey results, the women were additionally characterised as having high or low levels of social support.
The study found levels of support within relationships were important risk factors for breast cancer mortality.
Dr Kroenke added: ‘Women with small networks and high levels of support were not at greater risk than those with large networks, but those with small networks and low levels of support were.
‘We also found that when family relationships were less supportive, community and religious ties were critical to survival.

http://islamiyyahconsultancyservices..com/2012/11/research-reveals-women-in-happy.html
‘This suggests that both the quality of relationships, rather than just the size of the network, matters to survival, and that community relationships matter when relationships with friends and family are less supportive.’
Dr Kroenke said the study suggests that interventions designed to help women with breast cancer improve the quality of their relationships could have an impact on breast cancer outcomes, adding: ‘Women in the study also gained health advantages from developing community and religious ties.’
The findings were published in the journal of Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.
Celebrities / SAD - Funke Akindele Lost A 4-month Pregnancy by IslaJenmi(f): 2:05pm On Nov 09, 2012
These are not the best of times for star actress, Funke Akindele a.k.a Jenifa, who got married a few months back in an elaborate society wedding in Lagos. The very witty actress, City People gathered has just lost a 4-month pregnancy.
Few weeks ago, several talks and rumours were everywhere over the real state of her pregnancy, which many claimed she had flaunted at a couple of occassion. Funke, who has become a pace-setter, role model in the industry, thanks to the success she has made of her talent as an all-round thoroughbred script writer and actress, is indeed not finding this moment of her life easy because her joy of being a mother for the first time, which would have come to pass in a matter of few months from now has been shattered.
This may not be unconnected to some family pressures, and the demands of her job, as a highly sought after actress, whose face many would always want to see in movies. Funke, whose fairy tale wedding was widely reported in all print and electronic media shook the entire Nigerian showbiz Industry. Naturally, it is expected of her to start having babies, after her marriage to popular Lagos Big Boy and Property Developer, Kehinde Almaroof, a.k.a Kenny Doo.

Funke has been seen flaunting her bulging tummy at several events, here in Nigeria and abroad before now, but at the recently held Headies Award, at Expo Hall, Eko Hotels & Suites, Victoria Island Day Party in Ikeja, Lagos, her tummy had gone flat as it was before she got married. Some close persons to her squealed that Funke is going through some secret agonies in her marriage, part of which they alleged has to do with the fact that her husband had been seeing 2 different women, before she married him. This,coupled with many other marital and homefront issues, sources revealed, could have been working against her.
Apart from marital issues, the career of Funke, does not seem to be looking upward, as the case was before her marriage.
In the same vein, the story of her husband’s mistress, a divorcee and mother of 2 boys from another marriage, who was impregnated by Funke’s husband broke about 2 weeks ago. The lady, who came out and spoke on her romance with Kenny Doo, gave her name as Modinat Nike Dada. She is 7 months pregnant. Modinat is fondly called Mama Dayo. Her first marriage, allegedly crashed due to incompatibility with her estranged husband, also called Dayo. Modinat’s sister runs a clothing store at Oshodi, the shop is owned by Kenny Doo. He reportedly met Modinat at her sister’s shop in Oshodi from where the romance began. Modinat had problems getting pregnant initially for a while before Kenny Doo came into her life, and she became pregnant instantly.
This time, however, Kenny Doo had already fallen in love with Funke, and so dumped Modinat, despite the fact that she was pregnant. As it is now, Kenny Doo, with 5 kids already, is expecting 2 more kids from his other women, Fadekemi and Modinat, while Funke is still brooding over her pregnancy loss, and silently lamenting on what would become her fate in the unfolding scenario. Those close to the Jenifa star say she is taking her predicament philosophically, adding she believes when the time comes, she’ll be a mother, her husband’s many women notwithstanding.

Career / Tragedy: SAD: PHD Holder Lived And Died On Refuse Dump In Lagos by IslaJenmi(f): 1:47pm On Nov 07, 2012
It is indeed tragic that such could happen in this country. What exactly happened to Dr. Olawunmi Thorpe, an Ogun State indigene, who died a homeless man, may never be known.
To passersby and residents, who saw Thorpe everyday in the rubbish dump beside the rail line at Fagba Bus Stop in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area of Lagos State, he was a deranged man. But what many people did not know was that…
Thorpe had a Bachelor and Master’s degrees in Mass Communication and a PhD in English Language. All these information came to light when the Punch got information that the “mad man” who spoke impeccable English had died about 5pm Wednesday last week.
It took two ‘good Samaritans’, Mr. Larry Happiday and Mr. Dele Olawale, who had interest in Thorpe’s case before he died, to ensure that his body did not rot on the same rubbish dump he used as home.

When the two men were asked how they knew Thorpe and their efforts at helping him before he died, Happiday said he first met the deceased about a year ago.
He said, “I began noticing him around Fagba about a year ago because I live around Fagba. One day in March, he approached me and I thought he was going to ask for money. But he did not.
“He told me it was his 58th birthday and begged me to buy him a Bible and a book, ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’.
“The first thing that struck me about him was that he wasn’t the average destitute. He spoke good English with good diction.”
Happiday said he became interested in Thorpe’s case and would stop once in a while to check up on him at the spot, adding that he later bought him the book and the Bible.
According to Happiday, he became a sort of friend to Thorpe, stopping by once in a while to give him food and ask about his background.
“He told me he was from a rich family in Abeokuta and that his father was a former Ambassador to Ethiopia. He also said he had his first and second degrees in Mass Communication and PhD in English language. But he did not say which year he got them or from which institution. However, when I stopped by one day, I met Pastor Olawale with him,” Happiday said.
On his part, Mr Olawale explained that he first met Thorpe about four years ago. According to him too, the homeless man always asked him for a Bible.
The pastor explained that he got interested in Thorpe’s case when the man approached him one day while passing through the rail line at Fagba. He said he always asked Thorpe about his family and who could be contacted to take him away from the place.
He said, “I felt the place was not safe and he could still become something great if he got somebody to take care of him. He brought out a jotter containing phone numbers of some of his friends and relatives and he gave me that of a man he referred to as his uncle and head of the family – Bode Thorpe.
“I wanted to know why nobody had come to his rescue. In one of our conversations, he told me he was once a journalist. He said his father later established a community bank and made him the manager.”
According to Olawale, Thorpe told him there was a case of financial impropriety in the bank, resulting in his being jailed. Thorpe was said to have explained that after he left jail, he had a road accident that affected his right leg.
“Since that day, Thorpe said his life took a turn for the worse. He said his family disowned him. I visited him regularly and gave him food when I could. I called the phone numbers of many of the family members he gave me, but most of them did not show any interest in him,” Olawale said.
It was gathered that Thorpe has children and that his mother is a retired army officer.

Politics / “go Back To Your Village If You Cannot Obey New Traffic Laws” – Governor Fashola by IslaJenmi(f): 1:37pm On Nov 07, 2012
Governor Babatunde Fashola has harsh words for Lagos residents who are not willing to abide by the state’s new traffic law: go back to your village and stay there.
However, if you chose to remain in Lagos, you must be ready to obey the new traffic law and the existing environmental laws of the state to ensure the state remains environmentally-friendly.
Fashola disclosed this on Tuesday after visiting some on-going projects sites.
He warned visitors and those interested in coming to live in Lagos to keep abreast with the details of these laws so as not to break them.
Mr Fashola said the state government would not fold its arms while some residents live in Lagos as if they are living in their villages.
He said, “You can’t continue to live like you are in your village here in Lagos. Life in Lagos is changing by the day. The government has spent fortune to ensure good environment, drainages, roads and transportation system. It is unfortunate some people are still living as if they are in their village.
“Please, if you can’t obey our environmental and traffic laws, stay back in your village.”

Events / Meaning Of RSVP On Invitations by IslaJenmi(f): 6:16pm On Nov 02, 2012
What Does RSVP Mean When You See it on an Invitation? hehehe i caught y'all on this one, most people would be saying to themselves rice stew very plenty abi? well you are wrong RSVP means nothing like it..Let's Clear Up the Confusion Over the Phrase "RSVP"..you can thank me later....

This tip should help hosts and guests alike, because there seems to be a lot of confusion about the meaning of the term RSVP and what guests should do if they receive a request for them to RSVP.
I hear more and more often, and have found in my personal experience, that hosts often do not receive receive responses to their invitations. Therefore, hosts can't tell how many guests plan to attend their parties, even if an RSVP is clearly requested. This could mean either one of two things. First it could mean that rudeness is a growing trend in our society. Or, as I would prefer to believe, people no longer understand what the term means. Assuming the best, and that the reason guests don't RSVP to an invitation is a case of ignorance, not rudeness, I will clarify this for the record.

What RSVP Means
The term RSVP comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If RSVP is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.

Why It's Inconsiderate Not to RSVP
An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems for a host including difficulty in planning food quantities, issues relating to minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of party favors and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other things.
So the next time you see RSVP on an invitation you receive, please call your host and respond promptly.

So what are you waiting for...THANK ME NOW....LOL

Celebrities / Lewd Singer St Janet Denies Catching Her Husband In Bed With Her Daughter by IslaJenmi(f): 3:44pm On Oct 30, 2012
ome of you must have read on some blogs a few weeks back that lewd singer St Janet ended her marriage after catching her husband, Kaode Iyun, in bed with her 16 year old daughter from another relationship. The report claimed that the singer had moved out of her matrimonial home and was now living in a hotel. St Janet has responded to the story and says it's all lies. What she said below...

When I read the story I was shocked. I don't know where it came from. Nothing of such happened to me or anybody I know. My marriage is not perfect but it's intact. There's no issue of my husband sleeping with my daughter. I don't even have a 16 year old daughter. I have younger sisters who live with me, but nothing of such ever happened. I strongly believe my detractors are at work. I am strongly investigating where the story came from. It it targeted towards my career and they felt the best way they could go about it is to go about spreading false tales about my personal life.

Romance / Puzzle Solved: 14 Reasons Why You Are Beautiful But Still Single by IslaJenmi(f): 3:31pm On Oct 30, 2012
But if you’re wearing a sweatshirt and jeans without any makeup and your friends are doing a little something to make themselves appealing, most men’s eyes are going to go for those girls first.
It’s a Friday night. Your girlfriends all have date nights with their boyfriends. They’re going to dinner, the movies, staying in and spending time together. And you: you’re alone. And it doesn’t take long for you to wonder why.
Well, the answer isn’t as simple as you may think. And in some cases, it’s simpler than you think. There’s no way of really knowing unless we speak with you, but here are some of the most common reasons we encounter as Relationship Coaches that a woman may not have that special man in her life.

High Standards
It’s great to have high standards. No woman should sell herself short and then be stuck in a situation she regrets. But, there is such a thing as having standards that are too high. What’s the difference, you ask? Well, normal standards look like this: “I want him to respect me, treat me right, and be honest and decent”. High standards look like this: “He better drive a Lexus and have a job making six figures”. It’s good to have expectations. But ultimately, whether or not he’s a high earner isn’t going to bring you happiness or a stable relationship. Also, don’t let your standards get in the way of a good guy. Sometimes women will pass on a man, believing they can do better, only to settle with a lesser someone years later. Always ask yourself if your standards are realistic. And more importantly, ask if your standards will nab you the man that will make you happy.

Negativity
This might be something to look at. Do you need to win every argument? Are you confrontational or super defensive? Do you never give compliments, are always negative, or can’t be pleased? Believe it or not, there are certain personality traits that will turn men off, no matter how gorgeous a woman is. If you always walk into a relationship like nothing he does is good enough, he will not stick around. And if, when you first meet a man, you’re not willing to engage him in conversations about his interests, he will also not stick around. Don’t be combative or hostile, and don’t let one thing he says turn you off to him completely. Open up a little more, and don’t stress. Men who see women as unfairly and overly negative usually head for the door.

You’re Going After the Wrong Guy
It happens all too often. You’re able to pull what you think is a fantastic guy – good looking, charming, a guy girls women would kill for. He can get whoever he wants. And that’s part of the problem. If you’re constantly seeking the guy who’s going to make every woman jealous, keep in mind that this guy probably (re: definitely) knows that he can get you and any other woman in the room. Thinking that the lotharios are the ones that want to stick around are where you’re bound to get caught going after the wrong guy.

Not Listening
This goes for both men and women. Most of us are very bad at listening. To listen is to devote your complete attention on the other person. If your attention is divided between what they’re saying and what you want to say next or how you want to respond, you will not receive everything he is saying. Listening is not about hearing. It’s about receiving. Information from the other person is coming at you in several forms. Spoken word is only a fraction of it. Pay attention to their body language, their tonality, eye contact, their energy, euphemisms, sarcasm, and the things they don’t say. There is too much being sent to you NOT to be fully attentive.

Location
Sometimes, you may be in a city or town and you just don’t click with the men you’re surrounded by. This happens too. Maybe you’re in a rural town and you like city guys. Or maybe you’re in a city but prefer a cowboy. In any case, you probably won’t be able to connect if you don’t have things in common. If you think that you’re not getting along with the guys in your area, seek out a different area – go to different hang outs, different scenes. Explore. You may find that you’re more attracted to the type that goes to a lounge than goes to a bar.
You Don’t Take Care of Yourself
Believe it or not, men care about this. Not in the ways you think (we’re really not caring what brand your shoes are). But we do care if you take care of yourself. This includes things like wearing nice clothes, doing your hair, makeup, exercising, and even what you eat.

Now, you don’t need to go overboard – and it shouldn’t be a determining factor in a relationship. But if you’re wearing a sweatshirt and jeans without any makeup and your friends are doing a little something to make themselves appealing, most men’s eyes are going to go for those girls first. And it’s not that you aren’t appealing, but by the time he gets to you, he’s already taken by the girl who put in a little extra effort. Also things like staying in shape. A healthy body is connected to a healthy mind. Again, don’t go overboard – extra fat isn’t going to kill you. But making sure that you don’t have five layers of fat will also help.
We lead people how to see us. If you take very little care and interest in yourself, we will follow suit. Yes, men are attracted to physical beauty. So are women. We are all visual creatures. If your perception and opinion for men’s love for the visual and physical is a negative one, then you’re only seeing part of the picture. How you present yourself to the world reflects the level of care you put into yourself. Do you take care of your body? Do you have healthy eating habits overall, or do you eat crap that increases the chances of having health problems in the future? Do you celebrate your face, or do you resent it? However nature and genetics have designed you, you are beautiful… but only if you choose to believe so. If you don’t like what nature has given you, there is a large degree to which you can decorate your machine. Your body and your face are your canvas. Be its master, not its slave. Be kind and encouraging to it, rather than cruel and full of disdain.

You’re Still Hung Up On An Ex
Whether you’re still seeing him or still dreaming about him – the ex is getting in the way and leaving you with nothing but an empty bed. Sometimes the thoughts of an ex will keep you from investing in another man. The ex will make you see other men as just a passing phase on the way back into the ex’s arms. Other times, the men you’re dating will catch wind that you’re still in love with your ex. If this is the case, many men will split before they get attached and subsequently hurt when you and the ex rekindle the spark (even if it’s just for the night).

Being Judgmental and Insecure
Most men do not care to be around women who are full of judgments about people and life. It’s negative, saps out the fun and motivates us to be on guard with what we say and how we act. The end result: We don’t feel free when we’re with you. Hating on other women only reveals your insecurity and weakness of character. People say men are visual, and we are, but we are also discerning when it comes to character.

You Give Everything Up Too Easily
When you’re a teenager, you think the easiest way to get a man to stick around is to sleep with him. When you get a little older, you realize that isn’t necessarily the best way. If you sleep with a man the first time you meet him, there’s a good chance he may not call for a second date. Why? He may feel that he has gotten everything from you that’s worth getting. By not giving him more than a kiss the first night you meet him, he will be encouraged to continue the pursuit. Also, when he finds it’s that easy to be with you sexually, he’ll quickly start to wonder how many other men found it to be just as easy. He will be disinclined to start dating, thinking that you may find another guy to hook up with.

You’re Jaded
Whether you’ve been hurt or taken advantage of before, it’s yesterday’s baggage. It has no place in the present. When you put up your walls, we cannot see you and will lose interest quickly. Courage and confidence are sexy to every gender. When we have to watch out for things that may scare you or bring up bad memories, it sucks away energy we would put in to seducing and enjoying you.
The past is finished. Whatever happened is not happening now or anymore. If you are suffering from it, it is because you keep reaching back to the past to reflect on it. Let it go. It is over.
The same goes with women who are bitter. Holding on to the bad things that have happened to you make you bitter, always. And you carry that taste with you when you meet men. Let go, forgive, forget, or whatever helps you claim back your happiness and power. When part of you stays or continuously revisits the past, you are splintered and we can only experience part of your beauty in the present moment.

You Can’t Accept Compliments or Nice Gestures
Rejecting a compliment can be humble, only to a point. When it continues, you are essentially rejecting a man’s attempt at loving you. We want to tell you and show you that we think you are beautiful. Whether or not you agree with the delivery is a separate matter. Can you accept it with grace and appreciation?

Desperation
It is an energy frequency that repels everyone, men and women alike. Desperation is the fullest expression of fear. Get out of your head. Be in the moment. Enjoy what is happening. Do not attach to any outcome. Desperation is a state of mind that takes you over and drives you repeatedly to singleville.
You Can’t Be By Yourself
Men are turned off by the woman who always has to have company and can’t be by herself. If a man is calling you, and you’re in the company of another man every time, he’ll feel unneeded and wonder why he should even bother with someone who’s always so occupied.

You Don’t Actually Want a Relationship
Whether you admit it or not, you may actually be single because you want to be. You may enjoy going out with girlfriends and playing the field. You may not want the attachment of a serious partner. Or you may just not be very good at commitment. In any case, some women who are single really just want to be single. And some want to be single subconsciously. If you’re asking “why am I single”, but then not returning the calls of men who are interested, or you’re going out for drinks every weekend, these are behavioral signs that you really, at core, don’t want to be tied down. Sometimes being single is just what you want.
Whatever is keeping you single has very little to do with anything outside of yourself. Your perceptions about men, yourself, the meaning you put into the little things, your beliefs – are most likely in need of an overhaul. We are all energetic, vibrating beings. Confidence, fun, depression, bitterness – they all vibrate at specific frequencies. What are you vibrating during most of your life?
The good news is that vibrations, perceptions, and beliefs can always be changed, and that we’re here to help you. Talk to a Relationship Coach today, and begin removing the labels you’ve put over your beautiful self that are clouding you…

Family / ALARMING - Motorcyclist Sells Nurse To Ritual Killers For N10,000 by IslaJenmi(f): 4:18pm On Oct 23, 2012
A commercial motorcyclist, identified simply as Ifeanyi, has been arrested for allegedly handing over a nurse, Mrs. Helen Ilonge (picture above), to ritual killers after collecting N10, 000.

Punch Metro learnt that Ilonge had on Tuesday last week took Ifeanyi’s motorcycle on her way to Igoli along the Ogoja-Ikom Highway in Ogoja LGA. Ilonge, the coordinator of Primary Health Care in Bekwarra Local Government Area of Cross River State, was coming from a programme at the Assemblies of God Church, Abakaliki in Ebonyi State, and had alighted from a vehicle at Okpongrinya junction before taking the bike.

It was gathered that Ilonge (51) was beheaded while her other vital reproductive parts such as breast and vagina were removed for ritual purposes.

Ilonge’s neighbour, Mrs. Theresa Idagwu, on Sunday said, “Ifeanyi took the lady from Okpogrinya Junction on the pretence that he was taking her to the village, which is 10 minutes drive from the point. But along the way, he stopped and handed her over to kidnappers at Ukpe. Meanwhile, the woman had called her daughter, Victoria, around 9pm that she had taken a bike at Okpogrinya Junction on her way to Igoli.
She said when she gets to her destination; she would call again so that Victoria would boil water for her to take her bath. That was Ilonge’s last call.” Repeated calls made to the woman’s line, according to Idagwu, indicated that it was switched off. She said Ilonge’s family became worried when the woman did not return home. “We went everywhere- police stations, hospitals and even her friends in Igoli, thinking that may be an accident had occurred along the road but we got nothing,” Idagwu added. Two days later, Idagwu said someone called Victoria on her phone and informed her that her mother had been kidnapped. The caller demanded a ransom of N50, 000 to be remitted in form of recharge cards.

She said, “Since her daughter could not raise the money, she rushed to the Bekwarra LGA headquarters where the head of administration, Mr. Bisong Bogbo, and the chairman, Mr. Linus Edeh, provided the money with which she bought recharge cards and sent to the caller. “The voice claimed that he needed the recharge cards so he could sell and run away from his master who is a ritual killer. He claimed that he had been serving his master for a long time and wanted to run away. He said once he gets the cards, he will break the door where the nurse is being kept and release her.” The LGA’s head of administration, Bogbo, confirmed that the cards were sent to the kidnapper through Victoria’s telephone.

He said immediately the alleged kidnapper confirmed receipt of the cards; he switched off his telephone. Luck, however, ran out of Ifeanyi. Policemen tracked his telephone line and discovered that he called Victoria from Abuochiche. Further investigations, it was gathered, showed that Ifeanyi had been selling the cards in the village immediately he got them. When he was arrested, Bogbo told our correspondent that Ifeanyi led the police to one of the ritual killers identified simply as Elvis. Elvis, according to Bogbo, confessed that the nurse had already been killed and some of her vital organs removed before Ifeanyi asked for the recharge cards. Elvis also said the remains of the woman were buried in a swamp. At the council headquarters, one of the late nurse’s colleagues, Mr. Gabriel Ogar, said she was probably the kindest woman he ever worked with.

Ogar said, “I have worked with five coordinators, but I know that she is just the best so far. She worked to the admiration of Governor Liyel Imoke and now she has been killed leaving her five children without a helper. “Her husband died 12 years ago and since then she has been the one taking care of the children and only one has graduated. Please let the government do something for those poor children.” When contacted on Monday, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Osita Ezechukwu, said the police were still investigating the matter. He said four suspects had been apprehended by the anti-homicide unit, adding that when the investigation was completed the suspects would be prosecuted. “We have taken confessional statement from them. Those who are not involved have been allowed to go while those who are involved are still in detention,” Ezechukwu said.

Celebrities / Jay-Z, Beyonce Lose Trademark Battle For 'Blue Ivy' Name by IslaJenmi(f): 11:18am On Oct 23, 2012
Beyonce and Jay-Z have lost their appeal to trademark Blue Ivy, their daughter’s rather unusual name, to a Boston-based company.

The musical couple was hoping to trademark the name of their baby, Blue Ivy Carter, who was born in January 2012, reports The Examiner.

In doing so, they would have used the name to broaden their business efforts to include cosmetics and baby products under the name “Blue Ivy.”

The trademark was filed weeks after their daughter was born, but the petition ran into problems when they discovered that name was already being used by a Boston, Massachusetts wedding and event planner, who goes by the name “Blue Ivy Events.”

So, why would Beyonce and Jay-Z wish to trademark Blue Ivy? It could be because they can protect their daughter’s name from being used on anything from cribs to baby blankets.

CBS News notes that the ruling against Beyonce and Jay-Z means that the US Patent and Trademark Office doesn’t think the celebrity couple have any legal rights to the name Blue Ivy.

The petition to trademark Blue Ivy likely came after vashion designer Joseph Mbeh submitted his own application to trademark the name “Blue Ivy Carter NYC,” as well as the name “Blue Ivy Carter Glory V” for use in a line of fragrances.

The trademark denied both filings, citing that the name belonged to a celebrity baby, and that consumers may assume that the products were approved by the baby’s parents.

The US Patents and Trademark Office did not forbid the couple from using the name Blue Ivy in other business projects, although it will not have a trademark.

Celebrities / KWAM-1 On Why He Married His Ex-wife’s Niece by IslaJenmi(f): 6:11pm On Oct 19, 2012
Tongues have been wagging since it was revealed that Fuji great K 1 The Ultimate had married the socialite Titi Masha who happens to be his ex-wife Salewa’s niece

But K1 says there is a strong possibility that Titi and Salewa might not even know each other because they belong to a very ‘big family’.

‘Salewa who is being spoken about here remarried some 20 years ago and she is still married so to claim that i married cousins , yes they might be on the long run but anyone knows that the Masha Eshilokun family is such a large family in Lagos tha i know many of them do not even know themselves‘, K1 told journalists at his Ijebu mansion.

He also addressed the rumours of him snatching Titi from another man – the socialite called Gbenga ‘Islander’ Akinbobola, who’s also his good friend.

‘I have dated many women in my life who are today legally married, how many of them will i call and say , I have dated your wife before? what happens to such? Do we crucify a woman for having dated someone before? Do we say because a woman is married before she cant remarry like we all do or do we say because I’m a star I dont have feelings or am not human? We all know that Fela was once married to 27 women at once in this country …I’m only married to two!‘, K1 explained.

Talking about his relationship with his other wife Wendy who resides in Canada, he said: ’Yes I am fully married to Wendy too and my feelings for her has never weaned , and don’t forget this is not the first time I’m having two women under my roof . People either friends or foe should leave this women to enjoy their husband‘.

The Fuji musician said he would rather people face the issues in the country, bordering on ‘education and its decadence’ and lack of jobs among other things. ‘We should start to ask the powers that be what they are doing‘.- honestly speaking i love his response...

Celebrities / Chris Brown No Go Wound You For Me Riri -RIHANNA Pondering On Boobs Enlargement by IslaJenmi(f): 5:30pm On Oct 18, 2012
RIHANNA wants to boost her bust – because, according to a source, her abusive ex-beau Chris Brown said she’d be “totally hot” with bigger boobs!
Now, the 24-year-old Barbadian beauty is out shopping for a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills who will pump her up “at least one bra size,” a friend of the “Where Have You Been” singer tells The ENQUIRER.
“It’s horrifying seeing how much control Chris still has over her,” said the friend. “It’s like she’s hypnotized.”
He’s playing both Rihanna and his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, big-time,” noted the friend. “No one can understand why these women put up with the twisted arrangement.”
Friends are concerned that Rihanna’s fixation with Chris has now spiraled out of control.
Although she has publicly joked in the past about having “no boobs,” she never seriously considered going under the knife – until now.
“Rihanna’s always been insecure about her cleavage,” revealed the friend, “but Chris’s comment has spurred her on to really do something about it.
“Rihanna can’t help herself. What she really wants is something she can’t have – a committed relationship.
