Webmasters / Blog/website Monetization Guidelines by KoboUP(m): 3:55pm On Nov 08, 2015
This platform is created to provide all its subscribers with E-Books, tips and advices on how they can make effective and efficient use of there blogs/website by making as much money as they can from it, but first of all let’s go through some important aspect:

The Foundation We All Build On

I recall when I first started blogging and studying internet marketing in particular, there were other people who had been doing things for years who I looked upon as pioneers.

Guys like Corey Rudl, Terry Dean, and Perry Marshall were pioneers back then.

These “old men” to me at the time, also have their mentors who came before them. I remember listening to interviews (and you still hear this today), and names like Jay Abraham, Dan Kennedy and Gary Halbert were mentioned as the pioneers before internet marketing, back when direct response was all about paper sent in the mail, or full page ads in trade journals or magazines.

Now that I have joined the ranks of this ever evolving evolution of “pioneers”, I feel justified in pointing out a few things all you youngsters may not notice, since you haven’t been around long enough to see the patterns…

The Fundamentals Never Change

Here’s the most important point: We are all using the SAME FUNDAMENTALS.

Business is business, marketing is marketing and the reasons why people buy things never change.

It all comes down to what drives a human being to make choices, and that has not changed and likely never will unless we evolve into something markedly different to what we are now. Money, status, sex, power, health, security, pain avoidance, the pursuit of pleasure – these are things that motivate us.

Over the years I’ve studied business through a university degree, books, courses and read countless blog posts, websites, listened to podcasts and watched films and videos.

Everything comes back to learning about people, figuring out what makes them tick and then using your understanding of their psychology to present your offer as the best tailored solution for them.

Technology Always Changes

What does change, is the playing field you operate in and the tools you use to present your offers and convince people to buy.

From newspapers, magazines, direct mail and trade journals, to radio, television, movies, and today the world wide web, social media and mobile applications – everything changes. New platforms appear daily thanks to the ease of implementation online.

Competition changes too, leaders come and go, big companies rise up and then fade into history.

The tools you use to reach people constantly change and you always have new options – more than you can handle. If however you understand the fundamentals, you realize that your core values stay consistent. How you present your value and what distribution formats you use to deliver it to people, fluctuates based on what is working best at any given time.

This is a really important point, because if your business is based on a technology, that means it has a shelf-life. If you want sustainability, you need to get the fundamentals rock solid, and keep your distribution and presentation fluid and dynamic.

What Does This Mean For Blogging?

Blogging is not trending upwards as it once was, but that doesn’t mean it has died. It’s just not the cool kid on the block anymore.

While the technology that lets you run a blog changes constantly, the act of blogging is a form of publishing. Publishing is communication, a fundamental aspect of human beings. It is not going away. We will always need to communicate.

A blog is a website. Until the internet changes so much that we do not use websites as a publishing platform, a blog will remain a viable option. That is of course until a better publishing platform replaces it, which will happen eventually (some might say it already has in the case of mobile apps, although I don’t see apps as a direct competitor to blogging).

13 Stark Realities Bloggers Face Today

When you decide to use blogging as a publishing platform to communicate with your audience as part of your business, you need to understand the environment you are entering.

Given my years of experience I have seen how blogging has changed. I’ve been directly impacted by the changes myself, causing me to adjust my entire overall blogging strategy many times, and particular in the last two years.

Here are the most important changes and what you need to do about them, if you expect to make money from a blog based business this year…

1. Just Having A Blog Is Not Enough

The fact that you have a blog is not a big deal. It used to be something special, a reason in and of itself for you to attract attention. It meant you were cutting edge and had something special to offer.

Today you are just another blogger and there are millions more doing the same thing.

2. You Better Have A Good Story To Tell

When I started blogging writing out “tips” and “advice” was enough. I figured out early the more case study stories I included with my articles the better my blog did.

Today a good story is mandatory. Just doing advice and tips and repeating the standard information is not enough. You need to do something special, so you can report back something special, which makes you special (and thus worth paying attention to).

3. Your Audience Is Sophisticated So Meet Them Where They Are

Standard information doesn’t work because your market has become more sophisticated. They know the basics, they understand all the normal advice because they’ve read it on ten other blogs, newsletters and social media feeds.

You have to stay one step ahead of your audience and give them information that is not available elsewhere.

For example, when I told people to “leave comments on blogs” as a means to get traffic to your blog, it was good enough advice in 2006 for people to share it. Today, everyone has heard that advice before. I need to offer more sophisticated ideas if I want to make an impact.

4. Bloggers Are Doing A Better Job Of Everything

Today the standard of blogging has risen across the board. Blog designs are better, content is better, audio quality has improved, and online video is fast catching up with TV for production value.

Content substance will always come first, but engagement increases with polished presentation.

Google tells us engagement is important when it comes to ranking sites in their search engine. They assume your content is better if people stay longer and consume more of it, hence you are rewarded with more free traffic.

Even if you have brilliant ideas, if people do not engage with them because they are difficult to consume or locate, you won’t gain traction.

5. Quality Competition Exists In All Top Category Markets

Blogging is not new. Chances are your industry already has many bloggers in it, and likely a handful of established leaders who command a lion-share of audience attention.

Gone are the days when you can start a blog about a broad general category and expect to become a leader, unless you have some pretty amazing stories to tell.

Choosing a niche within a niche is no longer good advice – it’s mandatory for success. You simply can’t compete if your subject category is broad because you can’t provide enough quality information – there is too much to cover.

Be the best at one unique thing and you stand a chance.

6. If You Don’t Offer All Modalities Of Content You Lose Audience Share

I’ve been saying this since 2006 (and struggling to follow my own advice since then too!), but it’s even more important today because people have choices.

If you don’t offer words in text, audio and video, you are missing out on large chunks of audience.

It’s even more important now because people have options.

There is someone on YouTube covering the same subjects as you. There’s a podcast out there that covers what you cover too. If a person visits your blog and you only have written words, and they prefer video, they are going to invest their limited attention span on the YouTube channel, not on your blog.

This wasn’t a problem years ago because there just weren’t quality solutions in all modalities. Today there are, so you either match exactly what a person wants or they go somewhere else.

7. Loyalty Matters: If You Don’t Have A Tribe No One Cares

You only have a small chance to grab someone’s attention, ideally with brilliant ideas, shared with powerful case study stories, in their preferred modality of learning.

If you do this part right, you earn their attention. This is the doorway for them to become a member of your tribe. Once that trust is established, loyalty kicks in – their ego gets involved and they start to see you as an extension of themselves, what they care about and believe in. That’s powerful.

There’s a reason why certain bloggers have cult followings. The people who follow identify with them beyond just the content they provide. They like, trust and care about you like a friend.

Friends – your peer group – elicit a strong persuasive force, one of the strongest there is over us human beings. Your blog can have the same effect, but only if you have a tribe who love you.

8. Audiences Size Is A Magnitude Greater

The entire size of the internet has increased and it’s still growing. Your potential audience reach is massive compared to just a few years ago.

Pat Flynn has had 7 million podcast downloads. John Lee Dumas has half a million downloads per month and only started podcasting a couple of years ago.

In 2004 when I first started blogging, Darren Rowse had 3,000 RSS subscribers to his Problogger blog, the largest following at the time in my industry.

We used to measure web audience size in thousands, then tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands and now millions. You can see where this is going…

The internet is now the biggest communication channel there is, surpassing the previous leader, television.

9. Traffic Sources Are Abundant

Just as there is more total traffic, there are more ways to reach those people.

When I started online the Web was made up of websites, newsgroups, forums and email newsletters. Eventually audio became available and easy enough to add to your website. Then blogs hit. Podcasting and YouTube were next.

Fast forward today and there are literally hundreds of thousands of different types of websites, including all kinds of social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc), audio distribution channels (Soundcloud, Stitcher, iTunes, etc), and advertising platforms (AdWords, Facebook Ads, Retargeting, etc).

Your challenge today is picking your battles. You can’t do it all, so choosing what to focus on is more important than being everywhere.

10. Your Positioning/USP Is Even More Critical

With so much abundance and competition, you only have one chance to secure attention – figure out a very clear and powerful position and fortify it.

You need to operate within a niche within a niche, but you also have to position yourself in that space because you won’t be the only one there.

Positioning and coming up with a Unique Selling Proposition is about making yourself appear like the only option a certain group of people have to solve a certain problem. This is more important now than it ever was.

11. Content In And Of Itself Is Not Enough

Publishing amazing things is not enough anymore. Today you need a reliable and sustainable distribution mechanism to share your content, otherwise your brilliant piece of work will be lost in the ocean of all those other brilliant content pieces from other people.

Your distribution channel may be a significant social media presence, or the attention of influential people who will partner with you and share your content, or a large email newsletter, or a budget to spend on paid advertising. Ideally it will be a combination of these things, but they all take time to develop.

Marketing has always been important, but the “noise” online has increased so much that there is literally no attention unless you smack people in the head multiple times with what you offer using multiple channels.

Unless you have a means to amplify your message, your content won’t be heard.

12. Conversion Counts More Than Traffic

This is a hard lesson for bloggers to learn. You have to change your focus away from content creator to conversion expert.

Just being a good writer, podcaster or video producer who attracts a lot of attention is not going to lead to a sustainable business. Conversion is more important.

Moving people from visitors, to subscribers to buyers and then loyal big spending tribe members is how you sustain success. If you don’t counterbalance your ratio of effort away from producing free content, to instead how to convert and sell, you won’t make money and you will burn out.

13. Spend More Time Serving Existing Customers, Less On Attracting New Ones

Bloggers have always been too traffic and front-end focused. Today, unless you are already a leader with a massive following, which most people are not, you are only going to profit on the back-end.

Why invest all your energy producing amazing value for the people who never spend money on your business and who complain when you ask them to buy something?

A small handful of the biggest players make it rich selling low priced products. They have such huge followings that they sell enough copies of their $20 ebook that they don’t have to do anything more. The same can be said for those bloggers who make enough from just advertising, or from sales of affiliate products.

This is not a common scenario, nor is it the smart model to emulate.

If you have millions of visitors per month, you have volume, enough that small purchases or advertising impressions can pay the bills… and then some!

However, do you realise how hard you have to work to reach millions of visitors per month? On top of hard work, your timing has to be amazing too, catching the crest of that trend wave just as it starts to rise.

Often leading high-traffic blogs have owners who work incredibly hard, or have massive teams who produce the content to keep the machine running. They also started at just the right time to become a leader of a trend.

Unfortunately, other people blindly follow them, not realising it’s the wrong model to replicate. You will never have the traffic volume required to make it work and you will forever produce free content hoping that one day you will make it.

If you follow these models today, you have a massive job ahead of you. It’s just not the smartest choice for most people. It takes more work, is harder to sustain, you need the right timing, and ultimately is not nearly as well leveraged.

Instead your focus should be on funnel optimization, not more blog articles and newsletter broadcasts that have no purpose other than to just give more information away in the hope of increasing your traffic.

This Is Not A New Phenomenon

The list of challenges and conditions bloggers face that I stated in this article might be confronting, but it’s not a new situation.

All industries go through this development cycle, growing in size, becoming incredibly crowded, resulting in fragmentation. Those who adapt and narrow their focus can survive – and even thrive.

Today as a blog business owner you have to become better at serving a smaller group of people you know very well, who you work with a whole lot closer than ever before.

Fashion / How To Get Rid Of Wrinkles, Dark Spots, Stretch Marks by KoboUP(m): 8:39am On Nov 07, 2015
Some things, like fine wine and leather jackets, get better with age. Unfortunately, your skin is not one of those things. Sun, collagen loss, pregnancy and stress all contribute to dark spots, wrinkles and scars—and the sooner you come up with a treatment plan, the better. Dr. Eric Schweiger, board certified dermatologist and RealSelf advisor, offers his advice for when it’s time to head to the dermatologist’s office to fix a variety of common skin issues.

Stretch Marks:

See the derm: When your stretch marks are still newly formed and red. After 9 to 12 months, they can turn white or silver. “Wait until after you have given birth to have any elective treatments on stretch marks,” warns Dr. Schweiger.

The treatment: An average of four or more laser treatments (Fraxel is most commonly used) for permanent results

Fine Lines:

See the derm: As soon as they start to become noticeable and bothersome

The treatment: Botox treatment around the eyes and forehead every six months; at-home use of a hydrating eye cream; daily SPF 30 wear; UV protective sunglasses. “Botox will work on any wrinkles, but it does work better before the wrinkles get too deep, so I recommend treatment earlier rather than later in patients who develop unwanted wrinkles,” says Dr. Schweiger.

Dark Spots:

See the derm: As soon as you notice new light spots that look like freckles or grayish brown darkening on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, under-eyes or upper lip (areas where melasma typically develops)

The treatment: Intense Pulse Light treats freckles, brown spots, sun damage and melasma on the skin. After one to two weeks, the pigmentation should fade to noticeably more uniform skin.

Sagging Skin:

See the derm: As soon as you start to notice looser skin

The treatment: Ultherapy and Thermage are non-invasive treatment options; Thermage uses radio frequency while Ultherapy uses ultrasound waves to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin. “Both are great for face and body, but Ultherapy works particularly well for decolletage, chin and neck, and Thermage can be used to target the eye area,” says Dr. Schweiger.

Acne Scars:

See the derm: As soon any active acne lesions have cleared up, but the scars have not

The treatment: For redness or dark marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), chemical peels or a topical lightening treatment; for indentations, filler injections can provide a temporary solution (they last about six to eight months) and a laser treatment such as the Focal Acne Scar Treatment (F.A.S.T)® procedure, which uses the fractional CO2 laser in a more targeted way, can provide a more permanent fix.

Sunburns:

See the derm: Immediately if the burn is blistering, swelling or you have streaks of red near an open blister; if you aren’t experiencing severe symptoms, at-home cooling and moisturizing treatments should repair the burn.

The treatment: LED red light laser therapy will help to decrease inflammation and promote healing of the burn. The aging effects of sun damage may not appear for many years, but with each burn, you’re creating more and more damage to the skin that is harder to recover from.

Injury Scars:

See the derm: Six weeks after the cut

The treatment: Apply petroleum jelly to the active wound to keep it from forming a scab; laser treatment and silicone creams from your dermatologist can prevent the scar from becoming permanent.

Education / Top 10 Most Expensive Secondary Schools In Nigeria 2015 by KoboUP(m): 5:34pm On Nov 05, 2015
10. Loyola Jesuit, Abuja –N2.8 million

Address: Karu-Karshi Road, Gidan Mangoro, Abuja.

Website: www.loyolajesuit.org.

Loyola Jesuit College opened with JS 1 in 1996. It is a full co-educational private boarding school, with teaching and supervision from members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), and specially trained and dedicated lay teachers. The school is located in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, situated on a 28.5-hectare site in the village of Gidan Mangoro. The school provides an atmosphere conducive to focused learning. They charge as much as N2,800,000 per student. Loyola Jesuit College is one of the most sought-after secondary schools in Nigeria. The school is very selective when it comes to admitting new students, making it difficult for many people to school there. For LJC, I’ll say, it’s not only about the cost, but the much cherished quality education is also certain.

9. Meadow Hall, Lagos –N3 million

Address: Elegushi Beach Road, By the 4th Roundabout, Lagos-Epe Express Rd, Lekki.

Website: www.meadowhallschool.org

Mrs. Kehinde Nwani founded the Meadow Hall Educational Group in 2002. Meadow Hall Group seeks to provide through its subsidiaries opportunities for the children to develop in all areas thus being able to fully give expression to their unique talents and intelligence and reach their highest potential. Meadow hall School is focused on grooming life-long learners and building a learning organisation conversant with the use of 21st Century methodologies and strategies. But don’t lose focus on the saying that high quality comes with higher price-Meadow Hall fee is as “low” as N3 million.

8. Greensprings School, Lagos –N3.185 million

Address: No. 32, Olatunde Ayoola Avenue, Anthony, Lagos

Website: www.greenspringsschool.com

We are gradually getting down to the “bigger heads”! Greensprings School is a member of the International Schools Curriculum Project (ISCP), Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA) and Association for the Advancement of International Education (AAIE). In addition to being recognized locally with the necessary approval and accreditation to run as an educational establishment in Nigeria by the Lagos State Ministry of Education, Greensprings School is accredited by The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA), an agency involved in improving standards in schools across the world through the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools in the USA. The fees which is left at a considerable prize of N3 million plus annually for a boarding student and N1,925,200 annually for day student, include a registration which is once, tuition, textbooks, school and house uniforms, PTA levy, caution fee, etc.

7. Whiteplains British School, Abuja –N3.6 million

Address: Beside Guardian House, Obafemi Awolowo Way, District, Jabi, Abuja

Website: whiteplainsschool.com

Whiteplains British School is an exclusively unique school that intends to provide an international, inclusive collaborative learning community that merges the academic rigour of the British National Curriculum with the inquiry based approach of teaching and learning as expounded by Edexcel and Cambridge accreditation. It costs about N3.6 million per annum to cater for the tuition and boarding of a child. On entering the school premises, one could certainly be able to guess what having a child there would mean.

6. Day Waterman College, Abeokuta –N3.7 million

Website: info@dwc.org.ng

Just as I said earlier, the 3 popular cities in Nigeria are not absolutely in monopoly of these expensive schools. With the look of things, and the high quest for qaulity education, these kind of schools will soon be scattered all over the country. Day Waterman College is located along Abeokuta – Sagamu Expressway, Asu Village Road, Abeokuta – Ogun State, Nigeria. It is a modern co-educational boarding school designed to provide an exciting learning environment for secondary school children. The environment offers world-class facilities, a natural, peaceful and focused setting.

One of the things that make the school not yet known to so many people is definitely the cost. You should never forget the fact that training a child in school does not mean providing the tuition only. There are so many other things that have to be taken care of for the general welfare of the child which may as well cost as good as the tuition. Well, it’ll take just a few millions to meet up with the demands of Day Waterman college.

5. Lekki British International high School, Lagos – N4 million

Address: Victoria Arobieke Street, off Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.

Website: lekkibritishschool.org

Lekki British School is the original British School in Nigeria which was established in the year 2000. The school supplies the needs of each student. They provide everything that is of international standard as well as creating a conducive environment to encourage a balanced pursuit of study and recreation. Lekki British Senior boasts some of the finest educational facilities in West Africa. All classrooms and laboratories are fully air-conditioned. The hostels have excellent facilities including fully air-conditioned dormitories and a well equipped common room with cable television video and other recreational facilities. The tuition really equals with the facilities. They pay as much as $19,500 + N200,000 development fee. In naira, a student pays N4,000,300 per session including feeding, school uniforms, hostel, Sunday wears and textbooks.

4. American International School, Abuja – N4.3 Million

Website: www.aisabuja.com

The American International School, located at Drumi area in the Federal capital Territory of Nigeria is an American-accredited international school that has been open since 1993. It is truly an international school with over 30 nationalities represented in the students’ population. The tuition fee per annum is $20,970.00. Other fees such as Application fee, Capital building fee, Annual development fee, etc, sum up to the grand total above. Only the very rich could afford education in this school, and that clearly explains why they currently have just about 500 students from Pre-School to Grade 12.

3. British International School, Lagos –N4.48 million

Address: Muri Okunola Street, Landbridge Avenue, Oniru Private Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Websit: bisnigeria.org

The British International School is a multinational co-educational English medium school established in September 2001. It boasts of excellent facilities which include a multi-purpose hall, music suites, theatre, computer suites, science suites, tutorial rooms, swimming pool and many more. Parents pay their children’s tuition fees in dollars but going by Nigerian currency, each student pays N4,480,000 annually. This also includes their feeding, uniforms, textbooks, etc. The subject policies contain the National Curriculum for England requirements with slight modifications to reflect the international setting. Support teachers are also available to help those pupils whose level of English is below average. This school is majorly patronized by foreigners, but of course there are still a good number of Nigerian students there.

2. Grange High School, Lagos – N4.5 million

Address: No. 6, Harold Shodipo Crescent, GRA Ikeja, Lagos

Email: info@grangeschool.com Website: www.grangeschool.com

The Grange Secondary School was established with the aim of providing qualitative British education in a happy, caring and supportive environment. It provides a learning environment where children feel valued and are treated with dignity. The school is one of only three in Nigeria to be accredited by the Uk’s Independent Association of Preparatory Schools. (IAPS). I need not tell long stories here because this is the 2nd most expensive secondary school in Nigeria. If you are interested in the school, I think the best thing to do is to go and see for your self how sophisticated education could be made to be.

1. American International School, Lagos – N5.5 Million

Address: Behind 1004 Federal Estate Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

Website: www.aislagos.org

The American International School of Lagos (AISL) is a private, coeducational school, which offers an American educational program for students of all nationalities in preschool through 12th grade. The curriculum at AISL is based on US national standards. AISL is fully accredited through the Council of International Schools and the Middle States Association. AISL is an International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) World School. I am glad to inform you that the fees here are paid only in the US Dollars.

Do you think spending so much on a child’s education, especially in our country, considering the wide gap between the rich and the poor, and some other factors? Is it right after all or do you think it is sheer extravagance? Let’s have your opinion at the comment section below.

Fashion / Fashion Mistakes Women Make In Their 20s [.part 1.] by KoboUP(m): 12:12pm On Nov 05, 2015
1. Dressing extra nice for an interview and then telling your boss you had to leave in the middle of the day for a “doctor’s appointment.” Yeah, she knew.

2. Buying new underwear because you were too lazy to do your laundry. The cheap, scratchy kind that came in a pack of five from the drugstore and seemed to have been designed specifically to give you visible panty lines in everything you owned.

3. Buying a dress you knew wasn’t your style just because your friend said she loved it on you. Then feeling a pang of resentment toward her for making you waste your money on it every time you saw it hanging, unworn, in your closet.

4. Buying something because you thought it would totally change your life. Unless a bag comes with a genie inside, the only thing it’s really changing is your bank balance.

5. Convincing yourself that you couldn’t wear the same fancy outfit more than once because people would recognize it and judge you. Who did you think you were? Beyoncé? No one was keeping tabs on your looks like that. And if they were, then they were either completely obsessed with you or had literally nothing interesting going on in their own lives. Besides, truly amazing outfits are hard to find. Better to wear the same pieces over and over again and look totally awesome than to waste a bunch of time and money on stuff that doesn’t look as good.

6. Throwing your favorite sweater in the washing machine or dryer because you were too cheap to take it to the dry cleaner. Why is it only the sweaters we love the most that actually shrink? (Apparently, you can un-shrink a sweater by soaking it in a sink full of gentle hair conditioner and lukewarm water, and then laying it out to dry on a thick towel.)

7. Bingeing on cheap clothes and accessories, and then complaining that you couldn’t afford anything nice. All those flimsy polyester blouses really added up.

8. Buying pretty much the exact same thing over and over again. You would go to great lengths to rationalize it—”Oh, but this gold zipper totally changes the whole look!”—but eventually you came to realize that the real reason you kept buying slightly different versions of the same thing was that you weren’t really that into any of them. You were just anxious that the perfect version of whatever it was would never show up.

9. Letting your shopping choices be dictated by what other people thought was “right” for your body shape. All that does is stop you from trying new things and convince you that your body is some sort of problem that can be solved by shopping, which is seriously messed up.

10. Throwing away your favorite pair of boots because the sole wore out. It took you three years to find those boots, but you couldn’t give a cobbler three days to resole them.

Romance / Secrets To Having A Long And Happy Love Life by KoboUP(m): 12:02pm On Nov 05, 2015
1. Never underestimate the value of asking your partner how his day went. Niceties don’t become any less nice just because they become routine. At the end of the day, even if you felt like no one cared about anything you did, at least you know your partner will not only care but want to know details.

2. Some fights are just fights. They don’t have to be deal breakers. You can be madly in love with a person and still be mad at that person. Fights don’t have to spell The End. Couples that stay together choose the relationship over the conflict.

3. Accept that relationships come with obligations. You might not want to do everything your partner wants you to do with him — work events, seeing a band he likes, even errands — but you also know it makes him happy to have you by his side, which makes doing those things totally worth it.

4. But be honest about which events you feel strongly that your partner attend. Not everything can be a must. He knows to tell you that it’s really important you attend Passover seder every year but will live if you decline an invite to his friend’s Super Bowl party. You’re both fair about it.

5. Little surprise purchases go a long way. Does your partner love mint chocolate chip ice cream? Picking some up while you’re at the store shows you were thinking of him even while going about your boring everyday chores like restocking the milk.

6. Don’t force group or double dates when all couples aren’t friends. You don’t have to share the same friends. It’s OK to still go out one-on-one with your girlfriends, even if you all have significant others. The guys don’t have to be friends just because you are, and not every conversation is a group conversation anyway.

6. Kiss hello before doing anything else when you get home. Kiss good-bye when you leave. It’s always just the sweetest if he has to go to work extra-early but stops by to kiss you quickly while trying not to wake you. Or when he walks you to the door when you head out. And an immediate kiss when you reunite at the end of the day means you care about each other above all else.

7. Sometimes you have to say no to invitations so you can spend time with each other. Just because your calendar is blank one night doesn’t mean you have to agree to plans if someone asks. Life gets weirdly busy as you get older. It’s nice to use that free time to just be together.

8. Treat his family like yours. They love to know you think of them as family. And your partner will love to see you treat them like your own family. Call or text from time to time. Hang out with them when your significant other isn’t around.

9. More “I love you”s are better than fewer. Three words that just never get old. You’re seriously not going to say it too much.

10. Be sympathetic when your significant other is sick. Maybe it means canceling dinner plans and picking up soup. Maybe it means running to the drugstore for more cough drops. Don’t complain. No one gets sick on purpose, and if the situation were reversed, you know he’d take care of you.

11. Take on more of the errands/household chores when the other one is swamped at work. No, you don’t want to do laundry, but you do it to make your partner’s life easier. And by checking things off your mutual to-do list, you’ll be more likely to do things you actually enjoy together when his schedule frees up. Plus, you’ll have a crazed period at some point too, and it all evens out in the end.

12. Don’t make jokes at each other’s expense. Be respectful and think about what he’d want you to share with a group. He’s your partner, not your punch line.

13. Be on time. So many meaningless fights can be avoided by being on time. Start your eyeliner 20 minutes earlier than you think you need to. Chances are either you or your partner, or someone in the party you’re meeting, is sensitive about punctuality, so be there when you say you will so you don’t avoid anyone the wrong way and seem rude.

14. If someone talks shit about your S.O., defend him. Even if you’re generally too polite to correct people or call them out on rudeness, sometimes you have to make an exception. After all, you’re supposed to be each other’s biggest supporters.

15. Keep each other informed of your individual plans. You’re going to grab a drink with a friend after work? Great, have fun. But let him know where you’re going to be so (1) he doesn’t worry and (2) he knows you won’t be around if he wants to make his own plans. It’s not a matter of asking permission — it’s a matter of being courteous because you always want to rest easy knowing your S.O. is alive and well and not in trouble.

16. Respond to each other’s texts, calls, etc. No screening when it comes to your significant other. If he needs to get in touch for whatever reason, that should be a priority.

17. Choose not to fight when you travel. The luxury hotel you booked turned out to be not so luxury at all. Or he forgot to pack your toiletry kit like he said he would. You can get cranky and be That Couple having it out at the airport, or you can realize you’ll have a good story or inside joke in the future.

18. Be spontaneous. Make a dinner reservation for just the two of you at the last minute. Or just wander into your favorite restaurant and eat at the bar. Have random morning sex. Surprise him with concert tickets. Keeping things unexpected makes being with the person you love even more fun.

19. Love each other unconditionally. Sometimes it really is just that simple.

Fashion / Beauty Hacks Every Lazy Girl Should Know...part 1 by KoboUP(m): 4:29pm On Nov 02, 2015
1. Keep makeup remover next to your bed so you have zero excuse not to take it off before you go to sleep. Sleeping with your makeup on can cause breakouts and infections. So, on nights when you’re exhausted and can’t imagine standing at the sink for longer than 30 seconds, you’ll be thankful to have this stuff stashed next to your bed. (But really, help your face and reserve this hack for extreme lazy emergencies only.)

2. Hide a manicure that’s growing out by creating a glitter ombre effect starting at the base of your nails. The best way to distract from a chipped or overgrown manicure is, well, glitter. It’s pretty and will last for what feels like for-ev-er.

3. If you’re too impatient to wait for your moisturizer, toner, and self-tanner to dry, or for your makeup to set, then blast your skin with a blow dryer on the cool setting. Certain products (toner, tanner) need to dry completely before you move on to your next step when getting ready, and a blow dryer can really help speed up that process.

4. On days when you don’t want to mess with your whole makeup regimen, use lipstick to add a little color to your lips, cheeks, and eyes. Swipe your one-product wonder stick along your cheekbone, brow bone, and lips, then blend it out with your fingers for a subtle glow. There, now you look like a real human.

5. Make highlighting and contouring easy as (1,2,) 3. To highlight your face, quickly make a “3” with a concealer two shades lighter than your skin tone. Draw the top line above your brow, middle line above your cheekbone, and bottom line right above your jawbone.

To contour your face, draw a backwards “3” (aka the shape of an “E”) in a concealer two shades darker than your skin tone. Start the top line on your temple, put the middle line right below your cheekbone, and draw the bottom line underneath your jawbone. Then buff out the two shades, blending the lines completely for a seamless finish.

6. If you love winged liner but don’t have the hand-eye coordination to do it perfectly, no big deal: You can clean messy edges with a cotton swab coated with petroleum jelly. Making the perfect freehanded flick on the first try is hard. Erasing your mistakes is easy.

Career / How To Become A Millionaire By Age 30 by KoboUP(m): 10:49am On Nov 01, 2015
Getting rich and becoming a millionaire is a taboo topic. Saying it can be done by the age of 30 seems like a fantasy.

It shouldn’t be taboo and it is possible. At the age of 21, I got out of college, broke and in debt, and by the time I was 30, I was a millionaire.

Here are the 10 steps that will guarantee you will become a millionaire by 30.

1. Follow the money. In today’s economic environment you cannot save your way to millionaire status. The first step is to focus on increasing your income in increments and repeating that. My income was $3,000 a month and nine years later it was $20,000 a month. Start following the money and it will force you to control revenue and see opportunities.

2. Don’t show off — show up! I didn’t buy my first luxury watch or car until my businesses and investments were producing multiple secure flows of income. I was still driving a Toyota Camry when I had become a millionaire. Be known for your work ethic, not the trinkets that you buy.

3. Save to invest, don’t save to save. The only reason to save money is to invest it. Put your saved money into secured, sacred (untouchable) accounts. Never use these accounts for anything, not even an emergency. This will force you to continue to follow step one (increase income). To this day, at least twice a year, I am broke because I always invest my surpluses into ventures I cannot access.

4. Avoid debt that doesn’t pay you. Make it a rule that you never use debt that won’t make you money. I borrowed money for a car only because I knew it could increase my income. Rich people use debt to leverage investments and grow cash flows. Poor people use debt to buy things that make rich people richer.

5. Treat money like a jealous lover. Millions wish for financial freedom, but only those that make it a priority have millions. To get rich and stay rich you will have to make it a priority. Money is like a jealous lover. Ignore it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave you for someone who makes it a priority.

6. Money doesn’t sleep. Money doesn’t know about clocks, schedules or holidays, and you shouldn’t either. Money loves people that have a great work ethic. When I was 26 years old, I was in retail and the store I worked at closed at 7 p.m. Most times you could find me there at 11 p.m. making an extra sale. Never try to be the smartest or luckiest person — just make sure you outwork everyone.

7. Poor makes no sense. I have been poor, and it sucks. I have had just enough and that sucks almost as bad. Eliminate any and all ideas that being poor is somehow OK. Bill Gates has said, “If you’re born poor, it’s not your mistake. But if you die poor, it is your mistake.”

8. Get a millionaire mentor. Most of us were brought up middle class or poor and then hold ourselves to the limits and ideas of that group. I have been studying millionaires to duplicate what they did. Get your own personal millionaire mentor and study them. Most rich people are extremely generous with their knowledge and their resources.

9. Get your money to do the heavy lifting. Investing is the Holy Grail in becoming a millionaire and you should make more money off your investments than your work. If you don’t have surplus money you won’t make investments. The second company I started required a $50,000 investment. That company has paid me back that $50,000 every month for the last 10 years. My third investment was in real estate, where I started with $350,000, a large part of my net worth at the time. I still own that property today and it continues to provide me with income. Investing is the only reason to do the other steps, and your money must work for you and do your heavy lifting.

10. Shoot for $10 million, not $1 million. The single biggest financial mistake I’ve made was not thinking big enough. I encourage you to go for more than a million. There is no shortage of money on this planet, only a shortage of people thinking big enough.

Apply these 10 steps and they will make you rich. Steer clear of people that suggest your financial dreams are born of greed. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes, be ethical, never give up, and once you make it, be willing to help others get there too.

Education / 9 Phrases Smart People Never Use In Conversation by KoboUP(m): 12:09pm On Oct 29, 2015
We’ve all said things that people interpreted much differently than we thought they would. These seemingly benign comments lead to the awful feeling that only comes when you’ve planted your foot firmly into your mouth.

Verbal slip-ups often occur because we say things without knowledge of the subtle implications they carry. Understanding these implications requires social awareness—the ability to pick up on the emotions and experiences of other people.

TalentSmart has tested the emotional intelligence (EQ) of more than a million people and discovered that social awareness is a skill in which many of us are lacking.

We lack social awareness because we’re so focused on what we’re going to say next—and how what other people are saying affects us—that we completely lose sight of other people.

This is a problem because people are complicated. You can’t hope to understand someone until you focus all of your attention in his or her direction.

The beauty of social awareness is that a few simple adjustments to what you say can vastly improve your relationships with other people.

To that end, there are some phrases that emotionally intelligent people are careful to avoid in casual conversation. The following phrases are nine of the worst offenders. You should avoid them at all costs.

1. ‘You look tired.’

Tired people are incredibly unappealing —they have droopy eyes and messy hair, they have trouble concentrating, and they’re as grouchy as they come. Telling someone he looks tired implies all of the above and then some.

Instead say: “Is everything okay?” Most people ask if someone is tired because they’re intending to be helpful (they want to know if the other person is okay). Instead of assuming someone’s disposition, just ask. This way, he can open up and share. More importantly, he will see you as concerned instead of rude.

2. ‘Wow, you’ve lost a ton of weight!’

Once again, a well-meaning comment—in this case a compliment—creates the impression that you’re being critical. Telling someone that she has lost a lot of weight suggests that she used to look fat or unattractive.

Instead say: “You look fantastic.” This one is an easy fix. Instead of comparing how she looks now to how she used to look, just compliment her for looking great. It takes the past right out of the picture.

3. ‘You were too good for her anyway.‘

When someone severs ties with a relationship of any type, personal or professional, this comment implies he has bad taste and made a poor choice in the first place.

Instead say: “Her loss!” This provides the same enthusiastic support and optimism without any implied criticism.

4. ‘You always…’ or ‘You never…’

No one always or never does anything. People don’t see themselves as one-dimensional, so you shouldn’t attempt to define them as such. These phrases make people defensive and closed off to your message, which is a really bad thing because you likely use these phrases when you have something important to discuss.

Instead say: Simply point out what the other person did that’s a problem for you. Stick to the facts. If the frequency of the behavior is an issue, you can always say, “It seems like you do this often.” or “You do this often enough for me to notice.”

5. ‘You look great for your age.’

Using “for your” as a qualifier always comes across as condescending and rude. No one wants to be smart for an athlete or in good shape relative to other people who are also knocking on death’s door. People simply want to be smart and fit.

Instead say: “You look great.” This one is another easy fix. Genuine compliments don’t need qualifiers.

6. ‘As I said before…’

We all forget things from time to time. This phrase makes it sound as if you’re insulted at having to repeat yourself, which is hard on the recipient (someone who is genuinely interested in hearing your perspective). Getting insulted over having to repeat yourself suggests that either you’re insecure or you think you’re better than everyone else (or both!). Few people who use this phrase actually feel this way.

Instead say: When you say it again, see what you can do to convey the message in a clearer and more interesting manner. This way they’ll remember what you said.

7. ‘Good luck.’

This is a subtle one. It certainly isn’t the end of the world if you wish someone good luck, but you can do better because this phrase implies that they need luck to succeed.

Instead say: “I know you have what it takes.” This is better than wishing her luck because suggesting that she has the skills needed to succeed provides a huge boost of confidence. You’ll stand out from everyone else who simply wishes her luck.

8. ‘It’s up to you.’ or ‘Whatever you want.’

While you may be indifferent to the question, your opinion is important to the person asking (or else he wouldn’t have asked you in the first place).

Instead say: “I don’t have a strong opinion either way, but a couple things to consider are…” When you offer an opinion (even without choosing a side), it shows that you care about the person asking.

9. ‘Well at least I’ve never ___.’

This phrase is an aggressive way to shift attention away from your mistake by pointing out an old, likely irrelevant mistake the other person made (and one you should have forgiven her for by now).

Instead say: “I’m sorry.” Owning up to your mistake is the best way to bring the discussion to a more rational, calm place so that you can work things out. Admitting guilt is an amazing way to prevent escalation.

Bringing it all together

In everyday conversation, it’s the little things that make all the difference. Try these suggestions out, and you’ll be amazed at the positive response you get.

Romance / The Unexpected Visitor by KoboUP(m): 12:02pm On Oct 29, 2015
Right out of the blue our friend Joan called and said she would be in town late Friday evening. This thrilled both Linda and I as we hadn’t seen Joan since she took a job in San Diego about seven months ago. I had worked with her before the company busted up and we had to find other jobs. Because I was tied down a bit, and mostly because she wasn’t, Joan found work out of town. So this was truly going to be a treat of a weekend. Little did Linda or myself realize just how much of a treat!

She said she had just been a little homesick lately and would we mind putting her up for the weekend. Without hesitation Linda and I told her she was more than welcome. We hadn’t really partied much together but the times we had all gotten together had been a lot of fun. Linda and Joan seemed to hit it off from the very first time they had met at a company party. We immediately set to the task of straightening up the place and making plans for the weekend.

After the initial visiting and staying up just a little too late for our hiking plans the next day we all turned in everyone in high spirits and looking forward to a wonderful couple of days with friends. We spent Saturday hanging out and had a wonderful day. The weather was beautiful and I must admit hanging with these two beauties had my mind wandering to naughty things.

Linda is 5’9″ tall, with small but very attractive breasts, little pebbles for nipples. She has brown hair that falls down between her shoulder blades and a butt that’s nothing short of awesome.

Joan on the other hand is about 5’6″ with a rather athletic build, short hair that just seems to bounce as she walks. Seeing her in business clothes all the time only hid her features which now in shorts and a tank top made me glad that we had gotten to know each other outside of work. A bit of a less, ummmm, accentuated, ass than Linda she more than compensated with her incredible breasts. All day they bounced in the confines of her bra under her tank. I know I thought more than once what she would look like completely naked. But then that’s just the demented kind of guy I am.

Later in the evening, we all went out to one of our favorite restaurants to polish off with a little wine and food. At home we sat around for a bit and talked while we half interestedly watched some TV programs Linda had taped earlier in the week.

It must have been at the end of the tape because all of a sudden just as the first program was ending there were two pretty people on the screen fucking their brains out. We all just looked at each other in mock shock and a little embarrassment, then back to the TV. I had screwed up and taped over one of the porn videos Linda and I watch from time to time and there was a little bit left at the end of this tape. I jumped up to turn the tape player off and Joan stopped me saying, “Hey, I’ve always wanted to see a Indecency!”

I glanced and Linda and she said, “Why not, but I think this is the end of this tape.”

After a few minutes of nervous viewing on my part the tape ended and Joan sighed, “Damn, it was just getting good, do you have any more?”

Linda admitted to us having a few tapes hanging around that we kept for the “slow times”.

We all laughed a little and I was getting a bit embarrassed mostly due to what was running through my mind. Hell, what had been running through my mind all day. Well, Linda had already begun a search of the video drawer so I said I was going to take a shower. At that she and Joan both said that they were in need of a shower and they were using the feminine trump and getting their shower first. They both jumped up and said they were going to get cleaned up. With Linda in her shower, Joan in mine, I couldn’t help but pop in another one of the tapes.

I was just getting into the action of two women working each other over when I heard Linda coming down the hall. She was wearing her extra long sweat-shirt. I didn’t know it then but was soon going to find out that was all she had on. I was just able to turn the VCR off before she entered the room. I was just a little self-conscious and didn’t want to give the impression that sex was all I had on my mind. I don’t think I was fooling anyone.

I mumbled that I would take a shower as soon as Joan was out of the bathroom and no sooner having said that I head her down the hall announce she was out. It was very tempting to jerk off in the shower. Watching those two women go at each other on the screen had me really Hot. But for some reason I didn’t and I’m glad I didn’t.

When I got out of the shower I put on an old pair of sweat-shorts and a tee-shirt figuring we would probably sit around, watch the news then turn in. When I came into the living room I just about tripped over myself.

There was Joan in some flannel boxers and a sleeveless tee-shirt sitting between my wife’s legs as Linda massaged her shoulders and neck. What really threw me back was that they were both watching my porn flick on TV, and it was a girl/girl tape.

I managed toy ask if anyone wanted any wine or something else to drink, they both jerked their heads up and answered an immediate, “yes”.

I could barely pour the wine my head was so full of visions of my wife and our friend having sex. I handed Joan her wine and couldn’t help noticing how nice her breasts looked under her thin tee-shirt.

When I gave Linda her wine, she took a small sip then kissed me on the lips. She winked at me and then said, “it looks like Joan shares your affinity for lesbian sex movies.”

It was all I could do to stammer, “No doubt”, as I fell into the couch across from them and took note of what had their attention.

The two women on the screen were locked in a sixty-nine, both lapping and licking each others pussies. I looked over at Linda and as she took a drink of her wine she winked at me and slowly slid her free hand down the neck of Joan’s tee. A smile a mile wide had to of come over my face; I couldn’t believe my wife was going for another woman, least of all our good friend of five years.

A smile appeared on Joan’s face also as Linda’s hand reached her breast. She looked up at me then and asked if I was going to be all right with this. I looked up at Linda and she shook her head yes and I said, “all right hell, this is great!”

They both answered, “We thought you would like this.”

So I settled back with my wine and watched as my lovely wife sat her wine glass down then removed Joan’s shirt. Her breasts bounced a little as the bottom of her tank flipped over the top. There sitting on the floor between my wife’s knees was our best friend’s beautiful breasts fully exposed.

I had wondered what she looked like naked and reality was far nicer than anything I had imagined. She had to be about a C cup. Not huge but very nicely shaped breasts with medium size dark nipples that begged to be sucked.

Linda’s hands had returned to massaging those soft orbs; her fingers running over her nipples causing them to stand up just a bit. Joan had all but closed her eyes, but I felt as if she were watching me watch Linda play with her. She had such a content look on her face, my wife gently playing with her nipples, massaging her breasts, my cock was growing under my shorts.

I stroked my hardening tool through the material watching Linda and Joan play. Linda’s hand came up against her face, and painted little designs with her nails. She traced gently over her nose, around her eyes, down her cheek line to chin, then to her lips.

Joan opened her mouth and took just the tip of Linda’s finger into her mouth. She sucked on it a little then her tongue came out and encircled it, she sucked her finger all the way into her mouth. From the look on Linda’s face you would have thought she was going to cum any minute, but I knew this was only the beginning.

Linda raised her leg causing her sweatshirt to jump past her knees up to her waist. She had no panties on. Her hand slid down her leg from her knee, and with her nails she lightly scratched at her pussy hair. At that point we made eye contact and she just winked again at me and smiled.

Her finger began moving between her lips, pushing into her slit; my god she was already incredibly wet, her finger moving easily up and down between those swollen lips. The whole time Joan is sucking on Linda’s fingers as if they were little cocks. I took my own out from under my shorts not surprised at all that the head was glistening with pre-cum.

Spreading the slippery stuff over the head of my cock I stroked up and down as Linda continued to play in her pussy. She motioned for me to come over and I eagerly complied; standing beside the love seat my erection jutting out towards her face. Linda’s tongue came out and touched just the tip of my cock and tasted the small drop of clear pre-cum, I twitched and she immediately took the head between her lips and sucked gently, never deeper than just the head.

I looked down and Joan was feeling her own breasts and her other hand was down the front of her boxers. She stopped rubbing her breasts and her hand came up and cupped my balls. She lightly took hold of them and massaged them in her palm. When she pulled down lightly on them I had to fight to keep from shoving my cock deep into my wife’s mouth.

I told her I didn’t know how much more of this I was going to be able to stand. She told me to sit then because she thought Joan might want a little taste of this. Damn, this was better than I would have ever imagined!

I sat on the arm of the love seat, Joan stood up in front of us. Linda helped her out of her boxers revealing her awesome little pussy. Very thin wisps of light golden hair not quit hiding her pouty lips. Linda’s hands moved back up her legs, one in front, and the other up over Joan’s butt, her hand lightly brushing over her pussy. In the meantime had resumed stroking my shaft.

I stopped stroking as Joan bent down towards my cock, she told me not to stop, she wanted to feel me pumping my cock. My hand returned to the base of my dick as her mouth engulfed my hard member. Joan’s ass was now up in the air inches from Linda’s head. Linda took hold of her ass cheeks and moved her right in front of her face; she placed a little kiss on each cheek before dipping her tongue between her sweet pussy lips.

I knew she had made contact when Joan sucked down hard on my dick. The idea of my wife’s tongue exploring our best friend’s pussy as I watched her nose disappear in her crack had me very close to losing my load.

Linda was really licking and sucking on Joan’s pussy. I was amazed how much she was getting into it. Joan was enjoying it also. She had all but stopped sucking me off and just held me in her mouth as she moaned with pleasure, sending wonderful sensations through my member. I told Joan that I was very close to cumming, wanting to give her a little warning. She let me slip from her lips to tell me she had never seen a guy orgasm before and she would really like to see it, up close and personal. At that, Linda came up from Joan’s muff and planted a big wet kiss on my lips, and I do mean wet. Joan’s honey was all over my wife’s face and she was sharing it with me.

Her taste was sweet, her aroma absolutely awesome. And the way Linda was kissing me was telling me she was really getting into Joan’s pussy.

Linda then said, “Okay Joan lets make Tom cum for you. Just put your lips over the head of his cock and lick him now and then.”

Joan returned to sucking my tool into her mouth while Linda took over stroking the base of my cock. I knew it wouldn’t be long, then Linda came up and planted another sensuous kiss on me, shoving her tongue into my mouth. I could smell Joan’s pussy everywhere.

Then Linda got up beside my ear, still stroking my cock, causing it to slide between Joan’s lips ever so often, and she began telling me in a soft whisper how much she enjoyed sucking on Joan’s pussy. She liked the taste, the aroma, and she really enjoyed the feel of her pussy on her tongue, her clit between her lips.

That was all I could take. As I began to tense Linda told Joan to watch this cause she thought it might be a good one. Joan sat on the coffee table, still just a foot from my straining cock, and began manipulating my balls while Linda concentrated on the swelling head of my dick. With a finger and her thumb making a semi-circle around the head of my cock, she just lightly and slowly stroked over the ridge. I could feel my cock-head enlarge, and the wonderful pressure building in my balls and rising.

Trying to hold it off as long as possible enjoying this incredible pleasure, all of a sudden I spasmed and I shot a good sized load straight up and it splattered on my belly just after another spasm sent a bit smaller drop of cum from my cock to Linda’s hand. She then told Joan to really work my balls and she started milking every bit of cum from my cock, slowly pumping from the base to the head, cum continued to flow from the tip, as my orgasm subsided.

Joan’s face was fixed in amazement, “I had gotten a lot of guys off before but never really watched a man orgasm.”

She thought it was pretty cool and asked, “Can we do it again?”

I only said, “I sure hope so.” then excused myself to go clean up a bit.

As I was leaving the room I looked back and Joan had pulled Linda’s sweatshirt up over her head, removing it, but had stopped to kiss on Linda’s nipples. I knew I wouldn’t have too much trouble recuperating quickly.

I came out of the shower walking down the hall still drying myself off. There in the living room was my beautiful wife, sitting on the love seat, eyes closed and smiling as I had left her but Joan was now very busy between her legs. On her knees, her ass and pussy in full view before me, her head bobbing and moving around in my wife’s lap. It was then that I decided to go get the toys.

Jokes Etc / 5 Street Slangs You Must Know When You In Lagos by KoboUP(m): 4:51pm On Oct 28, 2015
Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria-economically, socially and otherwise. From the comical to the puzzling and the most shocking, it all happens in this city of over 15 million people. It is a fascinating place to be.

Due to the complexities that make Lagos unique, people have evolved different ways to communicate, interact and pass along messages which can only be understood by people who are familiar with these slangs.

Phones / 5 Ways Mobile Technology Is Making Life Easier For You by KoboUP(m): 9:34am On Oct 28, 2015
Technology is no longer an extension of our lives. It is now entrenched as a part and parcel of our everyday living. Modern technology is the new global culture. It is how we live, work and play. This is true primarily because mobile technology has made technology very personal.

Here are a few examples of how mobile technology is making life easier for you.

1: You can sit in your house and send money from your bank account to your child in school or your family in the village. You can pay all sorts of bills too. The miracle of mobile banking.

2: Stuck with work at home or at the office? From your phone, you can order a pizza or a proper meal of pounded yam and egusi and have it delivered to you, so you don’t starve to death on the job.

3: Travelling out of town? You can book your bus ticket or an airport pick-up or drop-off ride right from your mobile phone.

4: You really, really no longer need a dedicated camera for most of your casual, personal photography needs. Just invest in a  smartphone with a good camera and you are assured of good photographs. And you can edit your images right on the phone and email or share them with a few taps.

5: You can carry your Bible, Quran or other holy book everywhere you go. All it takes is just one app download and all those books, chapters and verses that you love to quote and recite are no more than a few taps and swipes away from you.

Celebrities / Cynthia Morgan Reveals She Has A Crush On Davido by KoboUP(m): 8:57am On Oct 26, 2015
Nigerian music star, Cynthia Morgan, has again revealed her crush on another fellow entertainer.

The German Juice singer, who recently had the ‘rumor mills spinning’ when she kissed Burna Boy and called him her crush, has disclosed that her current celebrity crush is singer Davido.

A widely circulated post has it that Cynthia said she sees the ‘Gobe’ singer as her crush because he is hard working.

According to the music star, “My celebrity crush? That will be Davido, because for me he is hard working.

“Over the years he has been able to prove himself that he is talented and not all about being a rich kid and I think he is cute too,” she said.

On whether she could date the single father of one, she said: “Cool, but because I am crushing on him doesn’t mean I want to have a relationship with him.

“But if he says, Oh my God! I love you, we can work something out,” Cynthia added.

Romance / Reasons Why Men Love Hand Jobs by KoboUP(m): 8:18am On Oct 26, 2015
Let’s get one thing clear from the get-go: Blow jobs aren’t going anywhere. But it’s a nasty little myth that men don’t also crave a hand job here and there from you.

What they want is a good hand job—and if you can deliver that, this is what they love about a little hand action.

1. The view. While it’s true nothing beats gazing down at you when your mouth is, err, full, there’s also something to be said for hand-job scenery, which, depending on your position, often offers a more complete view of your body. Just be sure to show it off in something sexy, or nothing at all!

2. He can touch and kiss you at the same time. When you’re lying beside him or kneeling on top, your hands are busy, but his can easily reach all over you. You can also kiss while you touch him, making the act sensual in ways you simply can’t during a Mouth Action.

3. A hand job adds variety. Not only does a hand job switch up your usual sex routine, the act itself can be full of twists—pun intended—and turns that make it feel so good. A hand job gives you the opportunity to use both hands in tandem, change the pressure and pace, and massage other areas that he may not be used to touching himself.

4. They have the work done for them. Yes, men can and do give themselves hand jobs. But we can masturbate too—and that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate someone else’s fingers down below! It’s the same for guys: Just because they can do it themselves doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate someone else doing it for them.

Politics / This Biafra Matter by KoboUP(m): 1:02pm On Oct 22, 2015
I read of demonstrations in Port Harcourt, Delta and Anambra States calling for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra, recently arrested by the Federal Government. I learnt lives were lost. If true, it is sad. Knowing the high-handedness of Nigeria’s security agencies, that is inevitable.

I have always argued for a confederal system as a solution to Nigeria’s current realities. This kind of federation, based on an amalgamation rooted in dishonesty, is unviable and unrealistic. People have the right to self-determination. My reasons for not asking for dissolution are: bonds exist which this structure cannot allow; confederation will give units full freedom to form unions with entities they desire; these seemingly intractable religious, political and economic differences that lead to bloodshed will be considerably reduced. If the far North wants Sharia and the Igbo East do not, it need not cause constitutional logjams. Perhaps a confederation will eventually heal age-old rifts between the Igbo and Yoruba. Because, like it or not, we must live with each other in the new world.

Igbo agitators for Biafra have a globally accepted right to their aspirations. But this right is not absolute. Even among the Igbo, including those like me who believe Ojukwu did the right thing by declaring Biafra in 1967, there are those who see Kanu and Co. as tricksters. Non-Igbo of the South-South have full right not to accept Biafra.

Today’s Nigeria, despite President Buhari’s claims to the contrary, seems to give the impression that anti-Igbo prejudices and hatreds, which were never truly dead, can openly flourish. Maybe if a post-civil war era president, even if he were a Northern Nigerian, had emerged this consciousness would not be so strong. In fairness to Buhari, he belongs to that generation of Nigerian leaders who slaughtered the Igbo. He was involved in the July 1966 coup and he fought the civil war as a Nigerian soldier. There is nothing wrong with that but I doubt if he now wholeheartedly loves his former enemies; if he has the broadmindeness to consider their fears in his dispensation.

The Igbo agitators for Biafra must answer these questions: are they ready for a free and fair referendum on the Biafra matter?

Do they want a republic of Igboland or Biafra? The latter will accommodate Non-Igbo. But my sincere prayer to God is let it never see the light of day if it is a country that non-Igbo will become second-class citizens who matter only because of their natural resources.

Are the Igbo ready to overcome internal hatreds and prejudice? A couple of years ago, Mbaise Catholics stoutly rejected an Anambra man as Bishop because he was not their own. What are the implications of such a mindset in a Biafran state?

Recently Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, an Igbo from Delta state, openly declared he is not an Igbo. What happens if Igbo disavow Biafra? Or do you think it is impossible? Look, no citizenship identity is permanent. A nation is an idea, after all.

The actions of the Nigerian government is unduly lionizing Kanu and his backers. They should respond by freeing Kanu; running a government that truly includes the Igbo, not just handing out token posts. They should counter Radio Biafra with robust counter-propaganda and affirmative action to the South-South and South-East. If they go on like they are now, moderates may become hardliners. Finally, Igbo-bashers and haters, the Igbo are here for real.

Romance / 13 Things That Make Men Irrationally Hot by KoboUP(m): 12:55pm On Oct 22, 2015
Certain things put men in the mood: naked people, pictures of naked people, moving images of naked people, being naked, being touched by a naked person, being touched while naked. But sometimes something makes a guy Hot, and it’s hard to understand why. Here’s a list of things unrelated to nudity that might just make you go a little crazy.

1. That song that takes you back because it was playing the first time you had an orgasm. Everyone has that song that gets them in the mood. Maybe it’s a pulsing techno anthem, a rock ballad, or a song that was on in the background when you had the best sex of your life.

2. Getting a whiff of a woman’s perfume. Smell is the strongest sense tied to memory. Plus, perfume is designed to be attractive. If someone walks by who happens to smell like your partner or former lover, that might be a turn on.

3. Catching a glimpse of your naked body in the mirror and realizing you look pretty great today. People love being naked. And although you might not admit to it, you’ve definitely caught a look at yourself on your way to the shower on a particularly good day and thought, Yeah, OK. Not too shabby.

4. Eating a few slices of pumpkin pie … or strawberries … or oysters … or… The list of foods that double as aphrodisiacs is incredibly long (and often disputed). So while not everyone might want a side of orgasm with their pumpkin pie, you probably have a food or two that does the job.

5. When a woman shows up in a red dress. There’s a reason Valentine’s Day is all about the color red. Studies show that it’s the color most closely associated with arousal.

6. Getting in a tickle fight while you’re still in bed on a Sunday morning. This is technically a fetish, but it’s an incredibly common one. Known as “knismolagnia,” it’s part of the reason you get into tickle fights with your partner.

7. When she scratches your back. This one is different enough to get it’s own name: acarophilia.

8. Getting into a bed with clean sheets. If you love sliding into a freshly changed bed, you’re not alone. According to a U.K. survey, men and women both find clean sheets a turn-on. This might explain the appeal of hotel sex.

9. Fear. The fear boner is sort of real. It’s supported by science, but fear doesn’t actually directly arouse you like other things on this list. It’s really a “misattribution of arousal.” Basically, fear and arousal share certain elements (shortness of breath, a rise in blood pressure). You’re scared, but your brain decides that maybe you’re Hot instead.

10. When she throws on your dress shirt in the morning. There’s something really sexy about a woman wearing one of your shirts. There shouldn’t be any reason a beautiful woman putting our clothes on turns us on, but here we are.

11. If she knows how to play guitar. Musicians are sexy. And pretty much any instrument counts.

12. Being able to make you laugh. A great sense of humor is always sexy. I’d say the best pre-intimacy is laughter, but that’s not true. The best pre-intimacy is MouthAction.

13. If she’s super nerdy about her hobbies. “Nerdy” is just another way of saying “so passionate that it’s embarrassing.” She doesn’t need to be super into the stereotypical “guy stuff” like video games or Star Wars. Being passionate about something—anything —is just sexy.

Phones / Your Phone Got Dunked In Water? Here’s What To Do by KoboUP(m): 12:27pm On Oct 20, 2015
If your precious smartphone gets water spilled on it, or falls into a bowl of water or the PC bowl (yuck!), don’t panic. There is something that you can do immediately to save it.

What To Do:

1. Turn it off immediately, and if the battery is removable, do remove it

2. Immerse the phone in a container of dry uncooked rice for about 8 hours

3. Put the battery back in and turn it back on.

Why rice? Rice is an absorbent and so absorbs moisture. When you immerse your wet phone in rice, the rice absorbs the moisture without putting your phone at the risk of heat. Sunning your wet phone can actually be damaging, as direct heat isn’t exactly what the doctor ordered.

Alternatively, just buy a water-proof smartphone instead if you regularly hang around a lot of water, so you never have to worry.

Romance / Mastering The Art Of Intimate Spanking by KoboUP(m): 12:40pm On Oct 19, 2015
Yes, spanking can be sexy, and a majority of women have fantasies about being spanked. Most men, too, find spanking a woman to be a strong sexual turn-on.

But sexual spanking is not the same as the punishment spanking we may have experienced as children.

For a woman, the turn-on is not so much in the sensation of pain as it is in the feeling of helpless submission and vulnerability of being bent over her partner’s lap, the attention being paid to her behind (a primary erotic zone), the feeling of a man’s hand warming her buttocks, and the anticipation of sexual pleasures to come.

For a man, the arousing aspect of spanking is the feeling of control and power over his helpless lover, and the excitement of playing with her attractive bottom, turning it pink and putting her in the mood for some hot, passionate sex.

To master the art of erotic spanking, it is important to understand the following six principles:

*The bottom is a prime erogenous zone; however, unlike other zones such as the breasts and back of the neck, the sexual arousal nerves in the bottom are buried in a layer of fat and require harder stimulation — like in spanking — to trigger them;

*The physiological process of sexual arousal demands that before orgasm can occur, blood must be collected and kept in the genitals and nearby areas. Spanking creates just such a physiological response, as the stinging of the skin causes blood to collect in the bottom (and simultaneously in the nearby genitals), thus accomplishing “mechanically” what caresses and kisses do psychologically;

*A properly done spanking, such as over the knee or with a cushion or other support propping up the woman’s bottom, causes the bottom to squirm from the sting, simultaneously resulting in her rubbing her clitoris on the supporting knee, pillow, etc.

*The feeling of “surrender” or submission is an important part of a woman’s sexual response, as many women need to give up control and give themselves “permission” to feel sexual. Spanking incites and reinforces such feelings;

*However, a woman must feel safe before she can give up control and surrender. Therefore, you must first earn her trust before attempting the game of erotic spanking. You must equate the spanking with sexual pleasure, eschewing any anger, sado-masochistic impulses or desire to humiliate her.

*The tacit understanding, no matter what the role play, should be that spanking is a form of foreplayand that orgasm is the goal of both players. Therefore, the actual spanks should be mixed with caresses and gentle rubbing of her bottom and Instruments, and other pre-intimacy if possible.

Sexual spanking

To use spanking in your sexual repertoire, it is always good to do a little role playing. You can play the stern guardian or headmaster punishing the naughty schoolgirl, or the offended husband or lover pretending to punish his wife or girlfriend for some imaginary transgression.

There are hundreds of roles that can be used as an “excuse” to give your lover a sexy over-the-knee spanking, but whatever role you choose to play, here are some tips to make it especially sexy:

1- Give her a specific “punishment” time and make her wait for it

The anticipation will add to her sexual arousal and increase her receptivity. You can accentuate this by making play with herself at regular intervals while waiting for her spanking. Of course, you will want to ensure that she obeys your instructions, and that she knows her spanking will be harder if she disobeys.

2- Order her to “prepare herself” for her spanking

This could mean taking a bath and making herself clean and beautiful, or dressing in a particular way (e.g. in a schoolgirl outfit, in particular lingerie or in another sexy costume). Tell her that the length of her spanking will depend on how beautiful you find her at the appointed time. These acts of preparing herself will have a direct effect on her state of arousal, as it will make her think about it constantly.

3- Take your time to inspect her appearance when she presents herself for her spanking

Comment on every aspect that might add to her punishment or subtract from it, and let your eyes and hands inspect every inch of her body. The intense scrutiny you are giving her will intensify her excitement.

4- Before beginning the spanking, make her perform a ritual

This could be kneeling in front of you and begging forgiveness for the imaginary transgression. Always agree that she will be forgiven after her “punishment,” as you don’t want to humiliate her. You should act as if you are only spanking her “for her own good,” and you might even tell her about how you intend to ravish her if she is a “good girl” during her spanking.

5- When she is across your knees, take your time before starting

Play with her bottom, squeezing and “testing” its firmness and fullness —and you can feel between her legs to see if she is getting wet. Tell her what you are going to do to her bottom, and how it will look in a few minutes. If you feel her trembling with excitement, you know she is really ready!

6- Ease into the heavier spanking

When you actually start the spanking, you may start by spanking her over her clothing, then over her panties (if you have her wearing them). Once you have warmed her bottom, you will always want to spank her on her bare bottom, as that is the sexiest kind of spanking.

Alternate a dozen or so spanks with rubs of her bottom, using firm but very sexual stroking to spread the warmth all over her rump. A finger between her legs can be used to get her breathing faster. You can also alternate spanks with gentle rubbing of her clitoris, tugging of her labia or caressing of her anus. This will make her associate spanking with other pleasurable sensations, thus conditioning her to get aroused to spanking. Take your time, savoring every smack and every feel of that delectable behind.

7. Use the right technique

The slightly cupped palm with fingers together is the best way to spank, as it makes a good smacking sound and reddens the skin without causing excessive pain. If she seems to be unmoved by such spanks, you can give her a few with a flat palm and spread (relaxed) fingers — those are the stingiest — until she squirms or responds.

A slow tempo, with an irregular rhythm, is the best technique, as the moments of anticipation between each stroke add to the tension; and if she cannot tell when the next stroke might fall, it is doubly effective in increasing her arousal. Again, take your time. Remember, it is not the number of spanks or how hard they are that brings her to a high state of sexual readiness. It is how long and how deeply she feels her submissive helplessness and the total sexual stimulation of her bottom that is the key.

Spank her right

A really good spanker can sometimes bring his partner to climax from such a sexy over-the-knee spanking. But every lover who knows his partner’s symptoms of arousal can judge when the time is right to shift her from the spanking position to implement on his erect shaft, which should be hard and ready from having her naked bottom squirming over it.

Travel / How The Nigerian Embassy Can Help You In A Foreign Country by KoboUP(m): 7:04pm On Oct 17, 2015

Nigeria as a democratic entity has diplomatic missions such as consulates, high commissions and embassies in nearly every country in the world. These missions are not there for fun but are established to offer assistance to its citizenry. For example, when Nigeria’s national team was in Belgium to play a friendly match against Congo, the Nigerian embassy played a key role in hosting the team in Belgium.

Thus, it important to Nigerians to identify with the home embassy as they offer a wide range of services. Because Nigerians love to travel, http://www.koboup.com, Nigeria's No 1News and Lifestyle portal rounds up some things that an embassy can do for travellers in a foreign country.


If you need a hospital
If you get inexplicably sick or stranded during your trip, your embassy can recommend you to a reliable hotel or hospital to get treatment. In addition, you can also contact your travel insurance company to inform them about your situation so that they can settle the hospital bills. However, proper documentation must be done to guarantee the help of your consulate well ahead of time.

Arrested or detained
The arrest must be illegal if you want the embassy to come to your rescue. Immigration officials in different countries, according to media reports, have this stereotypical attitude towards the green-white-green passport. Thus, Nigerians have been arrested or detained just for carrying their passport. Report this arrest to the embassy and they will ensure that your rights are protected and get you released. But do not go to there if you are caught for unscrupulous actions.

Crime Victim
Anyone can be a victim of crime in a foreign country and in the process you may lose your luggage, wallet, phone or other important items. The embassy or high commission –for commonwealth countries – can help contact your family or friend who will come to your aid.

Lost Passports
An important travel document you must not loose on a trip outside the country is your passport as it is required at the airport by immigration officials. However, if you misplace it, your embassy can offer you a new one depending on the rules and regulation governing misplaced or stolen documents for each country.

Emergency Funds
Although they will not give you cash, the embassy can offer you avenues to reach out to your family or friend through which you can get the money you need.
Crime / Man Arrested With 108 ATM Cards by KoboUP(m): 6:48pm On Oct 17, 2015
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Saturday said it had arrested a 34-year-old man, (name withheld) suspected to be working for an international criminal organisation.

The agency said through a statement by its Head of Public Affairs, Ofoyeju Mitchell, that the suspect was in possession of 108 automatic teller machine (ATM) debit cards.

According to the agency, the arrest took place at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos while the suspect was attempting to board a Qatar Airline flight to China.

“The debit cards belong to five commercial banks,” the agency said.

It quoted its commander at the Lagos airport, Mr Ahmadu Garba, as saying that the suspect was arrested in connection with alleged money laundering.

The agency also added that the suspect was immediately transferred to the Assets and Financial Investigation Directorate of the Agency for investigation.

“First City Monument Bank (FCMB) had the highest number of cards with 58. Stanbic IBC Bank has 23 cards, Zenith Bank 19, Fidelity Bank 6 and Diamond Bank 2.

“Mrs Victoria Egbase, the Director of Assets and Financial Investigation, said that the Agency had established a prima facie case of financial crime against the suspect,” it said.

It said that the Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, had ordered the transfer of the case to the EFCC for further investigation.

The agency quoted the suspect as saying in his statement that he was asked to take the cards to China.

Romance / The Job Interview (part 2) by KoboUP(m): 2:01pm On Oct 17, 2015
In case you missed part One Click Here [url] http://www.koboup.com/2015/10/the-job-interview-part-1/ [/url]

I chose my outfit carefully the next day. Short red dress that showed the right amount of cleavage without making me seem too slutty. I took more time with my make-up this time around. I have a job to do and I need to look right for the part.

As I slipped into my silver-colored heels and grabbed my purse, I gave myself a second to wonder about what I was about to do. I was about to have sex with a very pervy guy for a job. Isn’t that sort of like prostitution? But damn, I needed this job. It was perfect for me. The job description, vicinity to my home, the pay, working hours, everything. It would be really stupid to miss this opportunity, right? Besides, I just had to so what he wants today. Then as soon as the job is mine, everything would be just fine.

Of course Daniel would be mad and disappointed if he ever found out but I am not about to let that happen. He was the love of my life and I know he would walk out of it if he so much as suspected I cheated on him. But then, sometimes we all have to be selfish to get what we want. I resolved not to over-think this anymore. It was just sex. It would just be this one time and we can all go on with our lives.

I hailed a cab when I got outside my house (I did not want to show up looking a wreck like the last time) and sat comfortably at the backseat. I brought out my phone to message Daniel for the morning.

Me: Hey Love

Him: Hi, how’s was your night.

Me: Not bad.

Him: Sorry I could not spend all night with you. Needed to get up early to work..

Me: Oh, no big deal. I did miss you though. And I had a great time last night. Woke up this morning wishing I still had your cock in my mouth.

Him: Damn, don’t start nothing you can’t finish,Tolani. U know how excited I can get. But yeah, I did have a good time too.

Me: Lol :*. Fine then. Perhaps we can do this again sometime soon.

Him: Tonight?

I thought about fucking my man a few hours after fucking my boss and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Me: Nahh, maybe tomorrow

Him: Alright honey. Well, I have to head into a meeting now. Chat later?

Me: Sure dear. Later.

***

I arrived at the company with a feeling of trepidation. But I had already made up my mind, so I did not hesitate much at the door. I approached the same receptionist I met yesterday. She looked up and her eyes widened a little with surprise. Yup, I can bring my A-game when I want to. I thought, since I assumed she was surprised at how much different I looked from yesterday.

This time around she waved me into the boss’ office without any preamble. I guess Mr. Frank was expecting me. I knocked tentatively and heard his husky voice reply. “Come In.”

I plastered a smile on my face and walked into the office. He was sitting confidently on the chair behind the desk and gave me an appreciative smile as he caught my outfit. I walk nervously to the seat opposite him which I occupied yesterday and waited for him to say something. For about a minute, he just stared at me, then finally he said ‘do you understand what I want from you?”

I cleared my throat and said “yes.”

He gave me his leering smile again.”Okay.”

He stood up and slowly walked on over to where I sat “Here is how this is going to work. You will do what I say, how I say it. You will obey me without questions. I am your boss, after all.”

I was getting a bit worried, but really, what could he possibly be capable of? He should be somewhere in his 60’s and I doubted there was much freakiness left in him.

I took a deep breath and nodded. I was ready and this was it.

He sat on his desk and watched me for a while.

“Stand up!” He said suddenly. He was no longer calm and relaxed. He was a different person. He even looked a little mean and for the first time since I thought about doing this, I got scared. But I already promised to obey so I stood up.

“Walk over there and lock the door.” I did that too. I was about to walk back towards him and he said “Stay. Take off your dress.”

Slowly, I slid the strap of my dress off my shoulders. First the left, then the right. I pushed the dress down towards my knees then let it fall.

I was fully on display. He took my body all in. My black strapless and lacy bra and my thong of the same color. He let out a breath and I was hoping he liked what he saw. “Take off the bra.”

I needed no telling twice. I took that off and stood there, arms by my side, like I was a sex prisoner being served on a platter, which I guess I was. I waited for my next order but once again, his eyes roamed my body. I could feel my nipples hardening. Whether due to the cold AC in the room or due to arousal, I was not sure yet.I just stood and waited for my next order.

“Touch them. I want to see you touch your breasts, massage and stroke them till I ask you to stop.” I reached both hands up to my breasts and began to stroke them gently. I slowly and deliberately rubbed them until I started feeling my body heating up. It was the strangest thing. I was really nervous at this point but as soon as my hands began to knead my breasts, I began to feel the familiar heat down there. It was like my body had a mind of its own and the fact that this was an awkward situation did not matter.

As I began getting even more worked up, I slid two fingers towards my nipples and began stroking them until they were almost hard as a rock. They pointed excitedly towards my boss and I did not even care that he was right there silently watching me. I bit my bottom lip and involuntary bent my head backwards as my whole body continued to get excited.

“Look at me!” He ordered again. I slowly raised my head to meet his eyes. His look was different now. They were the look of a man who is so completely excited and cannot wait to unwrap his present. I watched him watch me as I continued to rub myself. I could feel my legs getting shaky and my panties getting wet. I guess he noticed too because I could see his eyes moved towards my panty area.

“Take them off,” he said. I did not need to ask what he meant. I slid my panties off me and the way the coolness suddenly hit me made me gasp. I shaved in preparation for this experience and I was glad I did. I could feel every single sensation and the coolness from the AC on my pussy only increased the tingly sensation I was already feeling. My boss then gave me permission to touch my pussy.

Damn, I could not wait. I was beyond soaked at this point and I could feel a little bit of juice dripping down my leg. I rubbed my inner tie to gather the wetness percolating there and used it to rub the outside of my pussy until it was glistening. I rubbed and rubbed until I felt I would explode with need. I finally slipped a finger in and began to Bleep myself in earnest. There was no time to start slow. I wanted to reach nirvana as fast as I could. I had waited long enough.

“Stop!” He said suddenly, just as I was about to explode all over his carpet. I nearly burst into angry and frustrated tears.

“Please Bleep me.” I said. and I met his eyes again with mine pleading with him to get me out of this misery. I did not care that I was now begging for something I was basically being coerced to do. I did not care that I was basically prostituting myself at this point. My body has taken over and I wanted, no, I needed a good Bleep. I do not even care who was doing the fucking. He could get a dog in here with a hard-on right now and I would not refuse. My pussy needed hardness. So, yes, I begged.

He asked for me to come closer to him. I walked on over on shaky legs and hoped I would not pass out. He got up from his position on the desk and gestured for me to take the position. I hurriedly sat on the desk, spread my legs as wide as it could go and eagerly waited. He gave me another one of his weird looks and smiled. “I have no need for your pussy, It is your asshole I want.”

This gave me a start. I had never had anal sex before and I promised Daniel some time ago when he was insisting that I would only do it with him after we were married. I was about to say something when he shushed me.

“Shhh… you will obey me.” If I weren’t so damn Hot and in desperate need of a good dick, I might have run out of there with my naked butt and not looked back. But as it is, I just sighed and assumed the position. With my back to him, I grabbed the desk and waited. He reached for a lubricant on the table and began to massage my ass with it. He rubbed me all the way around my ass and in my anus. I forgot all about Daniel and my promise to him for a second. This was not so bad, I thought. Then he slipped a finger in me and I could feel my world explode.It was a most curious feeling. It was a bit different from having a finger in your pussy but it felt almost as good.

“Hmmm..” I moaned. I leaned my ass into it as he began to finger me faster. He slipped his finger in and out and once again, as I was close to cumming, he took it out, but only to replace it with 2 fingers. I could not hold it in, I came hard around him and had to grab the desk even harder for support. I bit my lips to keep from screaming until I almost drew blood. He took his hands out and suddenly gave me a painful spank on my backside.The shock of the sting made me lose my balance and I literally fell. He gave me a hand up, turned me towards the desk again and before I could say plead with him, he hit me again. And again. And again. This time around, I managed to maintain my hold on the desk but I could feel tears in my eyes. That shit hurt like hell.

I said nothing. I deserved this. I wanted to LovePeddler myself out for a job and I assumed all the pleasure would come without some pain. He stopped hitting me for a few minutes. I could feel him breathing heavily behind me but I did not look back. I closed my eyes as I waited, and expected more pain. But the next pain he inflicted was different. I felt the head of his dick stroke the outer part of my anus for a second before he thrusted into me. Hard. He did not give me time to adjust to the feell of him inside me. He pounded my ass so hard I was sure I must be bleeding. He grabbed my hair and gave me some good fucking up my ass. It hurt, but it felt so good too.

He yanked my hair harder and this time I could not hold back my scream. I let it go and completely lost it,

“Please. stop… please…. please don’t stop.. please.. Bleep me. It hurts… hurt me…” I was not even sure what I was saying anymore. I was enveloped in some weird feeling of pain and pleasure. I wanted more pleasure but the pain made it even better. I had no idea what I wanted anymore. I felt myself tearing up again, but I also felt myself reaching another orgasm. This time around, when I let go, I completely bursted into a crying mess. He held me tighter and I suspect my tears only spurred him on as he bleeped me harder than ever.

He finally grabbed my neck, gave me one last thrust and exploded in me.

For the next two minutes, the only sound that could be heard was heavy breathing and my silent sobbing. He then took his dick out of me.

“The restroom is through that door,” he said, pointing. I picked up my dress and underwear and hurried to the door he pointed to.

I splashed some water on my face and dressed fast. All I wanted to do was get out of there.

By the time I returned to the office, he was all dressed and behind his desk. He did not even look up once as I walked out the door.

***

As soon as I got home, I went straight to bed. I was too exhausted to think or do anything. I held my pillow tight and hoped sleep would take me immediately. A loud beep from my phone woke me up an hour later. I checked and saw that I had a text message.

“I expect this service every Tuesday, 10:00am”

I did not have to wonder long who the message was from. I was under the assumption that fucking my boss would be a one-time thing not a standing weekly rendezvous. I was about to text something back when another beep sounded to tell me I had an email.

It turned out to be a job offer letter from my boss. I gasped as I noticed he offered to pay thrice what I expected. I looked at the mail blankly for a minute. I had no idea what to do..

My phone began to ring and I checked to see that it was Daniel.

“Hi dear,” he said

. ‘Hey. how is your day going?”

“Good, good, and yours?” “Really great. I got a job offer from that interview I went for yesterday.”

“Wow babe, congrats. Guess the interview must have gone really well.”

I smiled sadly to myself, it really had.

I guess my decision was now made.

Politics / NDA Cadets To Learn Driving Skills From FRSC by KoboUP(m): 12:50pm On Oct 16, 2015
As part of efforts to promote road safety ideals among Nigerians, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Boboye Oyeyemi and the Commandant of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Kaduna, Major General Mohammed Ibrahim, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for another four years to enable the personnel of the FRSC continue with the training of the Cadets of the Academy on driving skills.

Bisi Kazeem, Head, Media Relations and Strategy, FRSC, said that during the ceremony which took place at the academy’s headquarters in Kaduna and witnessed by some principal officers of both the academy and the FRSC, Ibrahim commended the staff of the FRSC for exhibiting a high sense of discipline, comportment and focus in carrying out road safety campaign in the country.

According to him, he decided to renew the existing understanding with the FRSC on the training of the Cadets in driving skills because of his conviction that the programme was both relevant and beneficial to the Cadets and the Academy.

“When I assumed office here as the Commandant, I noticed that the training programme was already in existence and there was an understanding between the FRSC and the Academy. Considering its numerous benefits to the Cadets, I had no hesitation in endorsing the renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding in order to sustain it,” he stated.

The Commandant further disclosed that he gave the approval for continuity without even formally meeting with the Corps Marshal, as a demonstration of his confidence in the initiative, saying it has impacted positively on the driving techniques of the Cadets and will enhanced their overall performance while on foreign operations.

While commending his predecessor and the former Corps Marshal for the initiative, he stressed that with the opportunity being given to the Cadets, they would not only be able to drive their personal vehicles safely after graduation, but their foreign assignments which involve driving would be facilitated.

In his remarks, the Corps Marshal congratulated the Commandant on his appointment and expressed gratitude to the Academy for giving the FRSC the opportunity to train the Cadets in driving skills.

He stressed that the training is a demonstration of the corporate social responsibility role of the FRSC to ensure sustained collaboration with the military in matters of road safety, saying that the Corps has had a longstanding relations with members of the Armed Forces.

As part of activities to mark the visit, the Corps Marshal addressed the FRSC personnel selected to handle the training programme where he urged them to sustain the positive image already created by the Corps within the Academy’s environment.

Romance / 7 Signs She Would Be Good In Bed by KoboUP(m): 10:31am On Oct 16, 2015
Picture this: You are with a girl on a date and of course, you are thinking of what it would be like when you finally get her into bed. Only one problem, you wonder if she would be as good as you imagine.

Well, while nothing is 100 percent certain, there are a few things you can look out for that points to a potentially great lay.

1. Willing To Experiment: Does she sound like she loves to experiment with something new when the chance presents itself? Does she seem eager to try something you are eating even though she tells you she has never had it before? A woman excited about new things is one that is willing to get out of her comfort zone in bed. It tells you that she is open-minded and might even have a few new tricks up her sleeves for you.

2. Good Dancer: If you would like to know how she moves, then give her an opportunity to bust some moves. Take her out to a club, party, or anywhere she would get the chance to show off her dance skills. The way she moves to the music will give you an idea how she would be in bed. Sultry and seductive dance moves are indicative of a woman who knows how to use her body in a sensual way.

3. Very Handsy: A woman who is not shy to get her hands on you and physically connect with you is one that understand the importance of touch in bed. She does not have any problems being close to you and might be looking forward to getting even closer.

4.The Walk: You know when a gorgeous girl enters a room in a seductive walk that makes all the men instantly think about taking her to bed? Yeah, a woman who possesses that kind of walk surely knows what her body is capable of and how to use it.

5. Good Kisser: Studies have shown that if you feel an intense connection with someone when you kiss, it is highly likely that that chemistry will translate into the bedroom.

6. She Is Older: It is a known fact that older women are usually more confident in their own skin and know what the want in bed. While women in their 20s are so focused on self image and might be dealing with low self esteem, older women are way past that and are always willing to enjoy the ride. They are not shy to tell you what they want and are very outspoken about their desires.

7. Knows What She Wants: This is not just a characteristic for older women. A woman can be confident in herself regardless of her age. If she is able to make fast decisions on where you guys hang out or what movies to see, instead of leaving all decisions to you and just tagging along, she will most likely make it worth your while in the bedroom too.

Fashion / 11 Style Details You Might Be Getting Wrong by KoboUP(m): 1:40pm On Oct 14, 2015
1. Don’t Ignore Your Shirt Collar

It’s great to make do and repair your clothes, but only to a point. Your work shirt from summer 2008 may look white from the outside but be sure to inspect the inside of your collar for yellowing and the edges for fraying. Even the slightest hint of wear will make you look unkempt. The same goes for creases. Iron them out, no matter how hungover you are.

2. Wear the Right Underwear

The VBL (visible boxer line) pandemic is gathering momentum across the country. If you’re into looser, more traditional boxer short styles, ensure that your pants are equally free flowing to avoid the hem of your shorts and the resulting gathered fabric from becoming visible externally. A good option–particularly if you’re wearing tighter jeans or a slim suit–is to opt for slim but boxers in a dark shade.

3. Don’t Use Your Pockets

There’s a reason why tailors sew up suit pockets before they sell them. If you stuff your suit with keys, wallets, phones, and packets of chewing gum you will totally ruin the line he’s worked so hard to perfect. This applies as much to your jacket as it does to your trousers. Carry your essentials in your hands or in a bag to ensure that you look uncrumpled and elegant by the end of your commute.

4. Buy a Belt That Fits You

That flappy bit of leather that you’ve punched a few extra holes into with the kitchen scissors may not be bothering you, but you can rest assured it’s upsetting everyone else. Buying a belt that fits your waist will ensure that there’s no excess material swinging about and that the bulk beneath your jacket or jumper is minimized. This will both create the illusion of a slimmer silhouette and make you look like you care.

5. Pay Attention to Trouser Length

Try and avoid trousers which puddle over your shoes or flap around your ankles. This doesn’t mean you have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Take them instead to your tailor and get the hems turned up, or if they’re too long, taken down (providing that there’s enough fabric to work with). If in doubt aim to have the hem skimming the top of your shoes.

6. Don’t Expect It To Fit Off the Rack

Whether you buy your suit, blazer, or jeans from Barneys or the H&M, the likelihood that it will fit you straight away is low. Find a good tailor and take everything you buy to him. That way no matter how much you spend, you’ll always look good.

7. Don’t Over-Accessorize

The rule when accessorizing is to opt for no more than two wearable accessories (at a push) and one carry-able accessory at a time. A knit tie with a pocket square and a briefcase, for instance. Or a light scarf and cufflinks with a portfolio. Less is definitely more. And unless you know exactly what you’re doing (and even then) avoid jewellery at all costs. A watch is great, but a pile of man bangles to compliment it is probably a step too far.

8. Pull Your Trousers Up When You Sit Down

Certain fabrics–wool and flannel in particular–are very quick to sag and pull around the knee once you’ve sat down a couple of times. One way to avoid this is to pull your trousers up a bit every time you sit down. This will avoid the fabric stretching and the unsightly jodhpur-esque trouser shape which ensues. Just make sure your socks are good enough to show off (see point 9).

9. Pick the Right Socks

Just like your underpants, if your socks are visible, they should add to, rather than detract from your outfit. If you’re wearing a suit ensure that the socks are thin (silk or cotton) and long enough so that no bare ankle is visible beneath the hem of your trousers–even when you sit down. If in doubt, opt for a sock in a dark shade–particularly if you’re wearing dark colors–or alternatively opt for a sock in a muted shade which compliments the colors you’re wearing. A burgundy sock with blue jeans and white sneakers for instance, or a charcoal sock with a navy chino and brown brogue.

10. Wear Crewnecks Instead of V-necks

Very few people look good in V-neck style jumpers and t-shirts. Unless layered correctly–to avoid too much flesh being on show–a V-neck can’t help but look a bit sloppy. Also, if you’re carrying a little extra weight, the style will draw attention to your stomach, so it’s definitely one to avoid.

11. Spray Sparingly

When wearing aftershave spray once on the wrist, dab against the other wrist, and then dab behind each ear. If you’re wearing an eau de parfum or eau de toilette this should more than suffice. If you’re wearing a lighter cologne, splash on a little more as the fragrance won’t last as long.

Romance / How To Know If He Will Be Good In Bed by KoboUP(m): 5:10pm On Oct 13, 2015
There are things that help women decide if a man would rock their world. We present the top signs that shows a man would make a pretty good sex partner.

1. Confidence: When it comes to men, it is all about confidence. A man who knows how to carry himself and speaks confidently is one that would not be shy when it comes to sex. He knows how to please you and does not spend too much time questioning his actions.

2. Makes You Feel Beautiful: Does he have a way of making you feel good outside the bedroom? Giving compliments is important when it comes to sex, so if he says things that makes your heart flutter outside the bedroom, then you can be sure he would have the same effect on your other body parts when you are in bed.

3. Ambitious: Being good in bed often has a lot to do with personality. A naturally lazy attitude might spill over into the bedroom. If he does not try hard for anything, then he would not suddenly have that attribute when you are having sex. On the other hand, a man who is naturally ambitious and always aim to better himself will certainly show you a good time. He would be willing to get better and sees it as an achievement if he takes you to the peak of pleasure.

4. Good With His Hands: Does he seem to be able to knot his tie in 5 seconds flat? Does he gesture a lot when he talks? You don’t need us to tell you that a man that uses his hands well in bed is certainly a keeper. If you notice you are attracted to the way he uses his hands outside the bedroom, that is a good sign.

5. Cares About Your Feelings: If a man cares about your feelings and is always interested in what you want, then you can be sure he would consider your feelings in bed too.

6. Adventurous: A man who loves adventure and new experiences would definitely be on board with your bedroom needs. He is not afraid to try new things and he will bring that extra spice to the bedroom.

7. Good Kisser: Having a great kiss with someone is a very important tell on how strong your chemistry is. It also tells you that sex would most likely be amazing.

8. Loves You: If a man is in love with you, he would want to do anything to please you, both in and out of the bedroom. He would make love to you and keep your pleasure at the forefront of his mind. He will connect you intimately and be in tune with your needs
