RomanceRead Till The End: Kind Gestures Keep The Devil Away by jaeyking(op): 9:05am On Oct 10, 2017
You know that moment when you're trying to compose a sweet text message to say how much you love her but the right words are not coming.

10minutes you're still thinking up what to write, 20minutes you're still there editing, in 30minutes you have a three page text but it still doesn't feel like you have written enough,.

When these moments come i don't stress myself trying to crack my brain, i just dial *737# and transfer her a small something.

Uncle most times the right words are said with a Bank alert, there's just something about that 'piim piiim' that says it better.

Don't stop chasing, that texting pattern you've been using since you started wooing her is now old and boring, change it!

Improvise, Find new ways to say the same things, 'I love you' can be very boring when it's being said the exact same way all the time, find a new way, say it with a song, say it with a gift, say it with a poem, say it with an airtime transfer, find new ways uncle, ...

And you too aunty, it is not every time you'll be replying only "I love you too", find a new way to decorate your response, it won't kill you to surprise your man with a transfer, especially when he's been so good by you, or when you notice he's making an effort to improve on something you didn't like, buy him a gift too, men do not forbide good things.

Don't stop chasing each other. One kind gesture every now and then keeps the devil away.

Respect to this father

FamilyThe Most Important Part Of Your Body by jaeyking(op): 9:54pm On Oct 07, 2017
My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body.

Through the years I would take a guess at the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.”
She said, “No. Many people are deaf yet they manage. I will ask you again soon.”

Several years passed before she asked me again. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.”
She looked at me and told me, ” Incorrect. There are many people in World who are blind.”
Stumped again,

I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, “No. I shall wait for right answer , my child.”

Then one year later, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because I seldom saw him cry.

My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my Grandfather. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” .
She saw the confusion on my face and told me,
“This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why.
But today is the day you need to get the answer.”

She looked down at me . I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.” I asked, “Is it because it holds up my head?”
She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry.
Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”

It is made for others and not for yourself. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did . But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.

Good friends are like stars, You don’t always see them, but you always know they are there to lend their shoulder

RomanceAdvice To All Ladies by jaeyking(op): 2:17pm On Oct 07, 2017
S-X, LOVE AND VIRGINITY!!!
A lot of girls complain that guys walk away from them simply because,they refused giving them s-x, some are even tempted to give away their
virginity just to keep the guys
–Let_me_be_very_blunt_here…

Virginity may not be the real reason why the guys go away, yes, no doubt, there are several guys who want s-x, and if they don’t get it, they walk away…

The problem may not be the virginity or the s-x…

The story of the Ten virgins in the Bible reveals that both the wise and the foolish were virgins; the other
Five were not allowed seeing the bridegroom not because they were virgins or because they lost their virginity…

NO! But because they were foolish and they were called foolish because they had no EXTRA_OIL . And the EXTRA OIL here is CHARACTER!

Most girls do not have extra oil to sustain any
relationship, while many brag about their virginity, that’s all they have to offer.

Aside your virginity, what do you have to offer to a man?

– Can you support him spiritually?
– Can you support him physically?
– How about mentally?
All you do is demand money for bag , shoes
, clothes , and outing, making him spend unnecessarily.

Have you ever sit him down, and you help him plan about his future?
Has he ever seen you as someone he can confide in?
How many times has he come being in a state of dilemma seeking advice from you?

Rather than jumping from one club to another.

And for the virgins, they forget that virginity ends after the wedding, but EXTRA OIL continues…
Yes… Nobody is perfect…
We all have our bad sides…

BUT…

Try to be a woman that a man will always regret losing for the rest of his life…
Be that woman that your man can never afford to lose to another man .
Build your man to your taste…
And stop looking for a ready made husband
.
* Force yourself on that rich dude that you didn’t work with to achieve what he has…,

And hear the story of your life from him one day
.
– Did You Work With me to achieve all I’ve got?
– Ever since you’ve entered this house… What has
added to what you met?
* Note:
– There’s just nothing as best as building up your man yourself.
– And you will forever earn his respect .

I hope this piece of advice is useful to all singles and married?

Nairaland GeneralWar Is Never The Answer by jaeyking(op): 7:18pm On Sep 16, 2017
My Father experienced the Civil War,
My Grandparents did too..
They always narrate stories bou the 1967-1970 civil war..
Many lost their lives, not really by the Bullet or Machete but as a result of Starvation and Malnutrition..
Parents lost their sons at the warfront,
Wives and Children lost their Fathers,
Rat was a 'Great Meat' then,
Women sacrificed their children,
They took turns to kill & eat their offsprings,
Many did 'trade by batter' with their children for 'very small food'..
There's always a 'long queue' for Food (Beans),
Their both hands were their plates then,
Many people were displaced,
A lot of people still bear the Scar of that event even till eternity,
Physical and Psychological Scars,
Take a close look at Surrounding Countries going through Wars,
See how Young children are suffering
Dying of malnutrition and starvation,
Losing their innocent souls,
Why? Why? Why?
War is not what Nigeria needs now..
Not just another war!
Woe to all those in their comfort zones instigating The chaos we see here,
Woe to them!
May Peace be far from them!
To all those who has in one way or another contributed to the Deaths of the innocent, WOE to them!
To you who comes on Social media,
Instigating war,
Displaying Tantrums,
Showing forth arrant stupidity,
May Wisdom descend on U..
If you've experienced 'ordinary' riot, then you wouldn't directly or indirectly clamour for War of any kind..
It is only a Fool that thinks every Thing He so desires can only be Actualized through 'War'..
Peace is the Ultimate,
Peace!
Peace!!
Peace!!!
Even in your clamour for whatever,
Peace should be your watchword,
Whatever you need can be gotten peacefully through dialogue and due process via the right channels..
To you who'd come here now to preach to me and display your tantrums about how wrong I am, I greet and Thank you in advance..
You can as well save it,
I've heard and had enough..
I am pained by the Blood of the innocent been wasted!

CelebritiesOh Yeah, The Beef Continues! Comedian AY Replies Hushpuppi by jaeyking(op): 2:10pm On Sep 03, 2017
Hushpuppi and Comedian AY are engaging themselves on social media beef..and perhaps this will drag on for a long time. Recall it all started, when the comedian shared a photo of himself rocking a Gucci Bad and then he asked Hushpupi to verify if he was rocking the original Gucci bag.. AY Wrote: “@hushpuppi I am so impressed that everyone trust your judgement on the Gucci brand that started in Florence in 1921 even before your own father was born….. oya come and confirm my own make me too rest #taghim” Hushpuppi clapped back at him by subtly replying: “As my personality isn’t for everyone, so is my response.”.. Then later went ahead to deleted his Instagram page for a while. Well, while celebrating Nigeria’s victory in the football game against Cameroon, AY pleaded with Hushpuppi to come down to his level and honour him with a response. He shared the photo above and wrote; “The chat between me and Onazi was before the Nigerian game that we won 4:0. if you invest in @aycomedian victory is yours… Chairman @hushpuppi adjust ur personality to my low level, honour me with a response and bless me with more Gucci products. You will experience increase in your life within 24 hours #yourboy”

Nairaland General45-year-old Man Impregnates Primary School Girl, Says She's His Lover & Fiancée by jaeyking(op): 11:38am On Apr 22, 2017
A 45-year-old man, Victor Emmanuel, who has been arrested by officers of the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly impregnating a 13-year-old girl, has asserted that he sees nothing wrong with that.
According to Victor who is a tailor, the little girl he got pregnant is his girlfriend. Victor also alleged, he’s already making plans to marry her. He further disclosed that he has already given her parents N20,000, and some drinks as part of introduction and marriage rites.
News Telegraph reported that Victor who is from Imo State, was arrested by detectives attached to the Ajangbadi Police Station,, after the victim’s school alerted them. The police said that the suspect raped the girl and described her as a minor.
Confessing to committing the said crime, Victor said;
“I didn’t rape her! We are in a relationship. We’re even planning to get married. We have been dating for 8 months
now. The girl’s parents know me. Yes, I know she’s pregnant for me.
I have accepted the pregnancy and I’m already taking care of her. I have started the marriage rites. In fact, the girl’s parents had been collecting money from me. I have paid N20,000 to them for introduction and to buy drinks.
They have also asked me to bring N100,000, out of which I have paid N64,000. The school authority said she was too young. The school authority insisted that I should come to the school. When I got to the school, I was arrested.”
However, the Investigating Police Officer (IPO), Sergeant Mary Ikumo, said that the victim’s parents claimed not to know or had ever set eyes on Emmanuel, alleging that their daughter, who is just in primary six, was raped by Emmanuel.
“The mother of the victim said she didn’t know the suspect from Adam. The mother said that the girl used to hawk plantain and the suspect was one of her customers. He used to tip the girl N500 every time he buys plantain from her. One day, he pulled her into his shop and raped her” he said.

Nairaland GeneralJust For Entertainment. by jaeyking(op): 9:43pm On Jan 08, 2017
Its just a funny question.
Let assumed we are all married here ad your marriage is the type of marriage where by your wife is the one that usually select the cloth, dress for you, knot the tie for you when ever you are going to work ad she’s also the one that helps you in pulling off your cloths, unknot the tie ad all when ever you back…
I think we all know that kind of marriage now..
where by the wife will be like ” Ho honey… welcome back, hope you are not too tiered. lemme help you in removing your cloth” things like that…
So that day, she dresses for you as usual before heading to work that day ad you came back that day after closing ad she started helping you in pulling your cloth off as usual. After she had pull off your cloth, she noticed that your boxer was worn
inside out which she’s very sure it was not worn that way when she was dressing you for work that very morning..
ad she was like Honey… why is your boxer worn inside out ?…
Now as a sharp ad well calculating guy that want to save his marriage…
What will you tell herhuh
Lets keep the fun moving by dropping your answers.
Happy Sunday guys…
Nairaland GeneralDon't Taste Other People's Partner If Yours Is Untouchable by jaeyking(op): 9:44pm On Jan 07, 2017
Naturally, humans are insatiable, when we have the best we still wish to have another best and on like that.
Little wonder there are more broken home this days due to cheating either by the man or the woman despite the increase in relationship counselors like many people will say.
This is not particular to a certain gender anymore like we use to have the male cheating most times in those days, women are now proving to men they can do better.
The funny thing is that those that are cheating are the ones always on the trail of their partner just because they themselves are not clean.
They love their own partner to be reserved while they perform all sorts of miracles in bed with someone else’s partner and will then come back home like saint.
They know all the moves as they are deep in the act, yet, they don’t want their partner to be tasted by someone else.
If your partner shouldn’t enjoy or be enjoyed why not just leave other people’s partner alone?
I know no matter how hard we preach some people will never listen as cheating is innate to them.
Even when they are not looked for they themselves will turn on the Searchlight as they are never satisfied with anything and neither can they endure with the little they have, they want everything in their partner forgetting no Mr or Mrs right.
You cannot swallow your cake and still have it back as cake but waste.
Learn to be loyal to your partner, you signed for better for worse, so, you don’t need to enjoy the for better together and make him/her feel the pains of the worst alone.
Even if you are cheating on your partner and your partner knows or otherwise and still loyal against all odds as he/she has accepted his/her fate, what will punish you will forever hunt you till you bite your fingers in regret.
No Mr/Mrs right, this is why marriage is for two imperfect beings coming together to submit their ego in order to make themselves perfect for just each other.
Leave other people’s partner and make your home the perfect abode

Nairaland GeneralPen!s Enlargement Church!! by jaeyking(op): 9:34pm On Jan 07, 2017
Controversial pastor and founder of the International God’s Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has again crept into headlines with his awkward miracles.
The self-confessed Ghanaian man of God raised the hopes of men with small manhood when he boasted that he could enlarge a man’s penis with just a touch.
In addition to penis enlargement, the pastor claimed that he could also make women get bigger boobs and butt by touching them.
A viral footage shared by Obinim TV on Youtube showed some of the congregants raising their hands while the pastor touched their private parts.
It is not uncommon these days to see churches and pastors doing bizarre things in this era where people are desperate for miracles and have their noses to the ground as to which happening pastor is performing great miracles.
Another controversial pastor in South Africa forces members to do strange things like lie inside a refrigerator for sometime, chew their underwear and eat leaves with faith that they would taste just as delicious as pasta.

Health10 Of The Deadliest Diseases In Africa (health Talk) by jaeyking(op): 9:27pm On Jan 07, 2017
1. Pneumonia and Other Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
We have come to the ultimate killer disease in Africa;
Pneumonia and other lower respiratory tract infections are the leading cause of deaths among Africans. It affects both children and adults and unlike most other diseases, it leaves little room for intervention. In most cases of Lower respiratory infections, early treatment is the key. Such diseases like pneumonia, bronchitis and bronchiolitis kill an estimated 4.2 million people across the world and death toll is higher in countries with restricted access to healthcare facility.
Pneumonia alone is responsible for 90% of all lower respiratory tract infections and is one of the most deadly diseases in Africa where it is responsible for taking the lives of more than 800,000 people every year.

2. HIV/AIDS
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes A (AIDS), a disease that attacks the immune system, causing its progressive failure and at the end, allowing opportunistic infections. HIV/AIDS is among the 10 most widespread African diseases yet it is one of the most preventable. In Africa, there is no region that is exempt from HIV/AIDS. Heterosexual transmission accounts for most cases of HIV transmission. There are more than 33 million people infected with HIV/AIDS and 65 percent of these individuals live in sub-Saharan Africa.
HIV is spread primarily by unprotected sexual intercourse with someone who has HIV (most especially among homosexuals). Other routes of infection include: sharing needles, syringes, or unsterilized invasive instruments, babies born to an infected mother. There are strong evidence that we are winning the race against HIV/AIDS; reports from some of the African countries which have the highest HIV prevalence on record shows that the rates of new HIV infections have been cut down dramatically since 2001; by 41% in South Africa and Swaziland, 50% in Zimbabwe, 58% in Zambia, 68% in Namibia, 71% in Botswana and 73% in Malawi.In addition, sub-Saharan Africa has reduced AIDS-related deaths by one-third in the past six years and increased the number of people on anti-retroviral treatment by 59% in the last two years alone.

3. Malaria
Malaria affects more than 500 million people annually, causing between 1 and 3 million deaths. It has become a household name in Africa but when it comes to taking lives, it does so without mercy. In a study that was done in 2012 on malaria, it has been established that malaria kills twice as many people every year as was formerly thought, taking 1.2 million lives and causing the deaths many including older children and very young adults especially those under 15 years of age. The prevalence rate of malaria is exorbitantly high especially in the sub-Saharan Africa where up to 90% of all cases are known to occur. Following infection, complications like anemia, cerebral malaria and swelling of the spleen may occur.

4. Diarrhoea
Diarrhoea is the passage of three or more loose in any given day (In some cases, it is defined passage of stool more frequently than is normal for the individual). It is a disease that is so common in Africa more especially within the poorest and developing countries. There are 4 billion cases of diarrhea every year and about 2.2 million people die from it most of them being children under 2 years. In Africa, diarrhea is so predominant that it is responsible for 8% of all deaths in Africa. In cases where the diarrhea is a result of contaminated living conditions such as polluted water, it can lead to up to 1 in 5 deaths. Most diarrheal deaths actually result from severe dehydration and not from the diarrhea itself. Diarrhea is one of the diseases that is most common in Africa because of high rates of malnutrition which is prevalent in the continent.

5. Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is one of the major diseases in Africa that kills after a long period of inflicting a debilitating condition on the victims. More than 2 million people die every year from tuberculosis. In Africa, tuberculosis is much more common and since HIV/AIDS started ravaging the lives of many, the duo have formed an unholy alliance. People die more from tuberculosis in Africa than they die elsewhere. About one-third of the world’s population is infected with tuberculosis and there are over 8 million new cases developing each year. What this means is that one in 3 to 4 people you come across on the street have been infected with TB, however, the disease only becomes reactivated when the immune system is low or when you become closely exposed to a chronic sufferer and you start harbouring lots of the
.
The typical TB infection attacks the lungs but is not limited to this organ as it can equally infect other parts of the body. TB is so deadly that it kills more than 50% of those infected when they are left untreated. New infections occur at a rate of about one every second and in Africa, more individuals are more liable to contract TB because of low immune system caused by higher rates of AIDS and malnutrition. Immunization, allowing proper ventilation, adequate diet and good personal hygiene are one of the sure ways to prevent TB.

6. Measles
Measles is a disease that has gained some reputable degree of popularity because of its ability to spread like wild-fire during outbreaks. The deadly disease claims some 530,000 lives on a yearly basis after infecting more than 30 million people each year (usually of infants and children under 5 years of age). This large number translates to 1,400 people who die from measles every day with almost 50% of deaths occurring in Africa (242,000 deaths). All is not gloomy however as measles has seen a drastic reduction since vaccination became more readily available however, the challenge of maintaining the cold chain and reaching the villages in the hinterlands is still a challenge in most developing countries of Africa. A typical measles infection is airborne, spreads by coughing and sneezing and usually affects malnourished children. It is highly contagious and common symptoms include high-grade fever, cough, maculo-papular rash with associated diarrhea, pneumonia, and ear infections as common complications.

7. Whooping cough (Pertussis)
Whooping cough is the 7th most deadly disease in Africa. There are between 20 and 40 million diagnosed cases of Pertussis every year which is responsible for killing 200,000 to 300,000 die each year most of whom are infants and children under 5 years. Whooping cough is a highly contagious disease often takes 7 to 14 days for an established infection to be treated. A typical manifestation is a protracted cough with breathlessness resulting in a characteristic whoop sound. More than 90% of whooping cough occur in developing countries of Africa and can easily be prevented by a simple immunization.

More than 90% of whooping cough occur in developing countries of Africa and can easily be prevented by a simple immunization.

8. Tetanus
Tetanus is a disease of carelessness and negligence. It is ranked among the top ted most deadly diseases in Africa because even though it affects less number of people, it leaves fewer survivors. The number of new cases has dropped from 800,000 to about 500,000 every year within the past decade but it claims almost half of those it affects (up to 214,000 deaths) every year. Tetanus is ubiquitous and can easily infect an individual when there is a breach in the first layer of barrier against diseases – the skin and mucous membranes. Sometimes, a breach caused by a small cut or wound can get contaminated by
(the micro-organism that causes tetanus) with the disease manifesting several days after the contamination (usually 3 to 21 days after). Sub-saharan African countries record about 84,000 deaths on a yearly basis. Neonatal tetanus is common in many developing countries especially in African countries and those in South East Asia and is responsible for about 14% (215,000) of all neonatal deaths and it is worthy of note that since WHO called for global elimination of tetanus in 1989, deaths from neo-natal tetanus have decreased from 800,000.

9. Meningitis
Meningitis is one of the killer diseases in Africa and the world at large. One unpleasant thing about this disease is that it is capable of reducing the quality of life even after recovery. Meningitis is a disease that is mostly prevalent in the northern and central parts of Africa and is usually seasonal; occurring mostly between December and June during the dry season. More than 1 million people get infected by some form of meningitis every year resulting in 174,000 deaths every year. A typical infection involves the covering of the brain and spinal cord leading to swelling of these tissues. Meningitis has a high mortality rate such that even with early diagnosis and treatment, up to 5 to 10% of affected individuals still end up dead and a higher 10 to 20% of survivors suffer permanent brain damage and some form of hearing impairment or learning disability. The prevalence of Meningitis can easily be reduced with adequate vaccination and prophylaxis for those who may be exposed.

10. Syphilis
Syphilis is arguably one of the most killer diseases in Africa. The rash/boil causing plague is responsible for the infection of up to 12.2 million people in the world every year with a quarter of these cases occurring in Africa due to poor sexual health education. On the average, there 157,000 people lose their life to syphilis every year and according to World Health Organization, infection rates in major African cities of Zambia; an east African country and Cameroon; a country in the Central Africa were reported to be as high as 10% and 6% in both genders respectively and studies done in Madagascar suggested that infection rates may be up to 30%. The disease is transmitted through contact with body fluids, blood and blood products. It is also known to be transmitted from mother to child .
Apart from Africa, Syphilis is also prevalent in Southeast Asia and south America.
