Romance › For Ladies: 5 Types Of Men Every Woman Should Avoid (and Which One You Have Now) by lokiparade(op): 6:41pm On Dec 15, 2015
Full story: http://pulse.com.gh/relationships/for-ladies-5-types-of-men-every-woman-should-avoid-id4460328.html

In all of God’s creation, there is nothing as uncertain as a relationship. That is why a woman can be married to her husband for twenty years and still be shocked by his actions one day. The character of your partner can determine whether marriage will be a prison or a paradise for you, so choose wisely. Below is a list of 5 types of men that every woman should avoid.

To make this advice fun and easy to remember, let’s represent the different types of men with common food items that you can find in any Ghanaian kitchen.

Mr. Onion:

If your man always makes you cry, my sister, you are married to an onion! These are the men who are emotionally abusive. They insult you, humiliate you and make you feel worthless. They may never hit you but the words they use can hurt you more than a thousand blows. They can convince you that no one wants you because you are not good enough. With time, you will even become grateful that he is with you because he will make you feel that you do not even deserve him.

Mr. Pepper:

Has raw, ground pepper accidentally ever touched a part of your body? How did it feel afterwards? I bet it hurt a lot- agyeeiii! The ‘Pepper’ kind of guys are the ones who are physically abusive. It starts with a shove, then a slap and before you know it, he is battering you even when you are pregnant. You now become a creative story-teller- inventing all kinds of fantastic stories to explain to your work colleagues why your face is swollen every now and then. This is the type of man who will surely kill you one day.

Mr. Sugar:

We all know that sugar is sweet but what we forget is how it can literally make you sick as you consume a lot of it overtime. In the same way, there are many guys that are frauds. These men can lie about anything. He will tell you he is an international businessman with houses all over the world when he cannot even afford three square meals a day. This guy can lie that he is single although he is married to a wife with four kids and a baby on the way! Unbelievable.

Mr. Bean:

Don’t get it twisted- this is not the funny comedic Mr. Bean we all know. Have you prepared beans for waakye or red red before? You have to pick out stones and insects, soak the beans for hours and then boil it for more hours with lots of water. Haba! In the same way, there are some men that will take everything from you, your time, money, body and heart without giving you any commitment whatsoever. These men can date you for years and use up all your resources but refuse to even give you an engagement ring.

Mr. Koobi:

Koobi, that tasty, salted tilapia is so notorious for producing a strong aromatic odour when it is used to prepare food. You can be living in your own small apartment but I dare you to cook with koobi and see whether the aroma won’t escape into your neighbour’s room and beyond!
This is the type of guy who doesn’t understand that marriage is primarily between himself and his wife. He does not have any qualms chasing women outside the marriage.

He takes advice from his friends about how to treat you or he may put his family members above you. Totally unacceptable.
It is better to take your time and select a suitable mate than to rush and select a partner who has some of these negative traits listed. A toxic relationship is a relationship not worth having and you deserve better.

Next time you meet a man who reminds you of any of the characters above, avoid him at all costs and tell him “Sorry oh, Mr. Onion, I’m not ready to cry every day!”

Both men and women sometimes have to deal with fallen hair whether at the front, back of mid of your head. Now, here some of the best food you could easily get to help that problem.

1. Salmon for shine

Fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Your body can't make these healthy fats, so you have to get them from food or supplements. They help protect you from disease, but your body also needs them to grow hair and keep it shiny and full.

2. Grow with geek yogurt

It’s packed with protein, the building block of your locks. Greek yogurt also has an ingredient that helps with blood flow to your scalp and hair growth. It’s called vitamin B5 (known as pantothenic acid) and may even help against hair thinning and loss. You may recognize pantothenic acid as an ingredient on your hair and skincare product labels.

3. Spinach to battle brittle hair

Like so many dark green leafy vegetables, spinach is full of amazing nutrients. It has tons of vitamin A, plus iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C. These work together for a healthy scalp and mane. They keep your hair moisturized so it doesn't break. Want to mix it up a little? Kale is another great green choice.

4. Guava to prevent breakage

This tropical fruit brims with vitamin C. It protects your hair from breaking. One cup of guava has 377 milligrams of vitamin C. That's more than four times the minimum daily recommended amount. Bonus!

5. Iron fortified cereal to prevent loss

Getting too little iron can lead to hair loss. But you can find this important nutrient in fortified cereal, grains, and pastas, and in soybeans and lentils. Beef, especially organ meats like liver, have lots of it. Shellfish and dark leafy greens do too.

Celebrities › Diezani: Ex-minister Might Have Personally Supervised Stealing Of $6bn [VIDEO] by lokiparade(op): 4:58pm On Dec 08, 2015
According to a report by American news channel, PBS News Hour, former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke might have personally supervised the looting of $6 billion (N1.2 trillion) from Nigeria’s coffers. This was disclosed by the network’s Special Correspondent, Nick Schifrin in a video report published on YouTube on December 2, 2015.

“US and British officials told us Alison-Madueke might have personally overseen the stealing of $6bn (N1.2tr),” Schifrin said in the report which is part of a series titled “Nigeria: Pain and Promise.”

“The most common method is awarding oil contracts to companies owned by friends,” he added.

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole had made a similar claim after a trip to the US with President Muhammadu Buhari in July but did not name the person involved. Schifrin also interviewed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi who said that the country was losing about $1 billion a month during the Goodluck Jonathan regime.

“In Nigeria, there is no accountability at all and that is why I think Nigeria’s corruption is worse than corruption in most parts of the world. It is the worst type of corruption, it’s stealing,” Sanusi said.

“Frankly, I think a billion dollars under Jonathan a month was about what we were losing,” he added.

Sanusi lost his job as CBN governor after he alleged that $20 billion had gone missing from the coffers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) which was under Alison-Madueke's supervision. Ms Alison-Madueke was arrested in London on October 2, 2015, on charges of money laundering.

The Emir also said that imprisoning the former petroleum minister would send a message against corruption. “If she (Diezani) goes to court and is jailed for example, it sends a signal; I think that there is a day of reckoning,” Sanusi said. READ: Corruption under Jonathan's regime took place openly and with records - El-Rufai Ms Alison Madueke has however denied the allegations of looting levelled against her saying that Sanusi blew the whistle at the time because she didn’t help him to get appointed as the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB).

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai also told the New York Times recently that looting of public funds under Jonathan’s administration took place ‘openly and with records.’ Corruption under Jonathan’s government has been a major subject of discussion in recent times after it was alleged that officials had misappropriated funds meant for Nigeria’s war against Boko Haram.

The discovery was made by a special panel constituted by President Buhari to investigate arms purchases in the country from 2007-2015.
At the fore of the investigations is former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki who is alleged to have supervised the laundering of about $2 billion in funds meant for the procurement of arms. Dasuki was arrested by the Department of State Services(DSS) on December 1, 2015 and handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) the day after.

The former NSA is reported to have implicated several prominent persons in the deal including former governors, ex-ministers and members of Jonathan’s party, Peoples Democratic Party(PDP). Dasuki’s lawyer however denied the report that his client had become an informant. Jonathan has also denied authorizing the release of the stated funds despite the former NSA’s claim that he got the necessary presidential approval for the transactions.
