Few days ago, I wrote about 17 things Nigerian men must have to please the women, in their lives. However, the article didn't go well with some readers, as they complained that everything is all about impressing women.

This time around, I've decided to write an update to the earlier write-up, and this one is meant for the female folks. In this article, I discussed few things Nigerian women must have in order to retain the men, in their lives.

They are listed as follows:

1. Total Submission:
The man is always in charge, as much as relationships and marriage is concerned. The man is expected to love and make provisions for the woman, while the lady, on the other hand, is mandated to be submissive to her man. Anything out of submission will make a woman to lose the love his man have for him. So, ladies be submissive to your men.

“To keep a total lockdown just like I said we have to bring some palliative measures to help the people to still maintain a good livelihood because you know they are several determinants of health.

“It’s not just a disease, hunger is one of those so we want to beat all of those determinants as much as possible,” she said.

While noting that the Commissioner for Humanity and Social Welfare, Blessing Egbara, is in charge of the foodstuffs, Ayade said the state government will ensure that the items reach residents of the state that are in extreme need of food.

Ayade also stressed the importance of wearing a nose mask, saying that since one doesn’t know the status of the next neighbour, the people should always protect themselves from COVID-19 by wearing masks.

“If you have to leave your house, you have to wear your mask because you don’t know who you are coming in contact with. You don’t know the status of that person; the person doesn’t know your status.

“You are wearing a mask and am wearing one at least we feel a bit save that no matter what we are not going to catch anything from each other,” she added.

These days, we find more goalkeepers who play more like outfield players.

Goalkeepers like Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer tend to move out of their goal area to help the team’s forward push.

Despite this recent trend, only few of these goalkeepers have found the back of the net for their team like we have witnessed in the past.

But there is one goalkeeper who defied all odds to become the highest scoring goalkeeper of all time.
