Fast Rising Nigerian Artiste, ipCraft just shared Screenshot of message he got from a Man asking him to name the amount he want's to break-up with his Girlfriend so the man can get married to her.

The Lagos Based Artiste shared the screenshot on his Instagram @ipcraft few hours Ago.

See Picture Below;

what do you think about this?���

Let's see how far this will go.

We will update you if anything comes up about it.

Signs you’re sleep deprived

The alarm yells and you hit the snooze button, hoping for a small window of reprieve. It works until you’re jolted awake by the consistent efficiency of the alarm clock again. So much for hoping it suddenly breaks so you can get an excuse to sleep in.

You begrudgingly get up after the third snooze cycle, haphazardly making your way into the kitchen to start brewing that cup of coffee you so desperately need. All the while you’re swearing at yourself, decrying that this is in fact the last time you’re going to go to bed late this late and wake up.

With the liquid injection of caffeine taking effect, it’s smooth sailing in the morning but before you know it, lunch is around the corner and you’re downing some carb-heavy meal with your colleagues. With a belly full, you settle back in to focus and like clockwork, your eyes shut and your head nods as you fight a losing battle with the nap gods.

You somehow weather this storm, wondering why companies don’t allow siestas that you always hear so many positive things about from your Spanish friends.

It’s now time to head home and after fighting some traffic that routinely rears its ugly head, you’re back at your place. You’re exhausted mentally and physically. Besides playing with the kids and talking with your significant other, you’ve got just enough energy to eat dinner. But of course you conveniently forgot to pick up the dry cleaning on the way home.
While battling the brain, you’re also at severe risk of affecting your overall health if you can’t manage enough sleep.

Here are some ways lack of sleep can affect your HEALTH

Heart disease – You have a 48% increased chance of heart disease, including an elevated risk of a heart attack.
High blood pressure -Your blood pressure could skyrocket, induced by both stress and low sleep.

Stroke – With your brain constantly fatigued and not able to properly repair itself overnight, your chances of stroke increase.

Diabetes – You’re at nearly three times the risk for Type II diabetes.

Lower sex drive – Your partner probably won’t be a fan of this and neither will you. Your sex drive plummets when you’re groggy and for good reason: you just don’t have the energy to accomplish simple tasks, let alone get frisky.

Higher chance of depression – Your energy levels go down and in turn your outlook on life can take a hit. In fact, getting too much or too little sleep is usually the first sign of mental health issues.

Weight gain – Weight gain is another side effect of lack of sleep. Your glucose metabolism takes a beating along with the hormones that regulate your overall metabolism, shown through decreased leptin levels and increased ghrelin levels. Leptin acts as an appetite suppressant and is released when you’re full, while ghrelin is released from the stomach in response to fasting and promotes the feeling of hunger.

Decreased immune function – The immune system takes a big hit when you’re consistently running low on a good night’s rest. In fact, you’re three times more likely to catch a cold according to John Hopkins Medicine.


And the list goes on.

According to The World Health Organization, a stroke is in third place on the list of the deadliest diseases and disorders. Unfortunately, most strokes aren’t even noticed until it’s too late.


Doctors identify two types of strokes: a hemorrhagic stroke and an ischemic stroke caused by a vessel blockage.
An ischemic stroke can have no distinct symptoms and can easily go unnoticed.

According to statistics, 80% of strokes are of the ischemic type. 37% of these stroke patients die, 31% of those who had a stroke need constant care, and 20% can’t walk on their own afterward.

What happens during a stroke?

The most common reason for an ischemic stroke is a clot or a spasm that blocks the blood flow in a certain part of the brain. The tissue around the clotted vessel swells and the space in the skull is limited. The intracranial pressure increases and a headache appears.

The entire brain suffers from the high pressure. During the stroke, one’s arms and legs can stop moving, a person might lose their coordination or the ability to hear or speak. In some cases, even hallucinations are possible.


After some time, the blood flows into the neighboring arteries and veins, and the swelling disappears along with the headache. However, the nervous system takes a lot of time to recover. Some of its functions might disappear completely.

In cases of a very mild stroke, the memories of yesterday or the events that happened 10 years ago disappear. In more serious situations, the person becomes disabled.

But if the stroke is recognized on time, there is a good chance that damage could be prevented.

Symptoms of an ischemic stroke

Sudden numbness or weakness on the face, in the leg or arm — especially on one side of the body
Confusion, the inability to speak or understand
Problems with one or both eyes
Difficulties walking, dizziness, loss of coordination
A severe headache that appears suddenly without reason
There may be no difference in symptoms between the 2 types of strokes, but either way, the wrong approach in treatment can kill the patient. That’s why it’s very important to call a doctor immediately to be diagnosed correctly.

Other symptoms that require you to visit a doctor.

A headache that leads to vomiting or the loss of a sense of direction
The tenseness of muscles in the back of the head
Vomiting
Darkening of the eyes
Looking at one spot for a long time for no reason
These signs may indicate a stroke or other health problems.

What you should do if you suspect someone is having an ischemic stroke..?

According to The World Health Organization, a stroke is in third place on the list of the deadliest diseases and disorders. Unfortunately, most strokes aren’t even noticed until it’s too late.

Ask the person to smile. Check if one side of the face looks strange.

Ask the person to raise both arms. Check if one of the arms is on the same level as the other.

Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence or poem. Check if the person pronounces the words clearly and correctly.

If you notice any of these symptoms, you should get the person to a hospital immediately. The only way to reduce the negative consequences of a stroke is to help the person within the first hour.

Scholarships and grants are, perhaps, the best way to pay for college. As a form of gift-aid, they do not have to be paid back, unlike loans. Students can apply for scholarships as early as their freshman year in high school and as late as their final year of graduate school—and of course, anywhere in between the two, as is more common.

There are countless scholarships out there—ranging from the standard to the bizarre (did you know there’s a zombie apocalypse preparedness scholarship?)—and you should be hunting them down and applying to them frequently.

Sponsors of scholarships—whether they’re federal, institutional, or private sources—have specific reasons for putting up those scholarships, and so want to give them to certain deserving students. Maybe a business owner has a real passion for the arts, so he wants to give a scholarship to a student who paints—he’s not going to give that arts scholarship to someone who’s never held a paintbrush in their life. Or perhaps a retired professor wants to promote academic excellence in the younger generation, she likely won’t give it to someone who has a really low GPA.

1. Apply for local scholarships
Many communities offer local scholarships through clubs, organizations, small businesses, and benefactors. The odds of winning these scholarships are greater because they’re open to a smaller group of students. Here’s how to find local scholarships:

Check with your teachers and guidance counselor
Search local media websites, like television and radio stations
Check community portals
Use geographical Internet searches, like “scholarships in Texas”
Ask people who graduated

2. Apply for scholarships with smaller awards

Many students look for scholarships that offer the biggest bucks—but those are also the most competitive. Scholarships with smaller awards usually have fewer applicants, so your chances of winning may be higher. These scholarships can help with college costs like books, supplies, and living expenses. Paying off those smaller expenses can quickly add up to big savings.

3. More work = fewer applicants = better chances

Many students avoid scholarships that require a lot of work, such as essays, videos, and projects. As a result, the applicant pool is much smaller, which means greater chances for you. Scholarships with essays over 1,000 words often have fewer than 500 applicants, compared to the 5,000 students who enter easier scholarships.

4. Get personal

Instead of burning yourself out applying for every scholarship you qualify for, have some fun! Apply for scholarships that fit your interests and that you’ll enjoy. There are scholarships for everyone under the sun: zombie lovers, vegetarians, Magic: The Gathering players … the list goes on and on. The more personal the scholarship, the more likely your passion will show through, resulting in a better submission.

5. Don’t introduce yourself in your essay

It’s cliché and may even get you disqualified. Many scholarship committees conduct blind readings, and essays that include names or other identifiers are immediately discarded. Get to the point as quickly as possible.

6. Don’t repeat the essay prompt

No one wants to reread the same sentence hundreds of times a day. Be original! Use the beginning of your essay to showcase your personality and set yourself apart from the crowd. Try starting your essay by setting the scene for a story or jumping directly into your answer.

7. Don’t use quotes

Your essay should be about you. The best essays are unique and stand out from the competition, so be original and use your own words.

8. Satisfy all the requirements

You can write the best essay in the world, but if the prompt asks for a list of five things, and you only list four, you may be disqualified. Make sure you answer every question and accurately meet every requirement.

9. Stick to the word limit

Get as close to the word limit as you can, but don’t go over. Exceeding the word limit may disqualify you.

10. Proofread

Spelling and grammar mistakes may get you disqualified. Make sure to proofread your essay at least twice and ask your parents and friends to look it over, too. The more eyes, the better.

11. Submit early

Don’t wait until the due date, just in case there’s a problem with the site, the Internet connection, or your computer.
