The strong wind of 2019 rainy season seems bent on blowing off the holy veils covering evil pastors in Nigeria. Just last week, Pastor Abiodun Fatoyinbo of COZA appeared in the people’s court over the alleged crime of sexual misconduct that the celebrated musician Timi Dakola accused him of. While the case is still ongoing, yet another pastor who can’t keep his device in his pants is brought to face not only the people’s court but also that of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).

Operatives of NAPTIP arrested 48-year old David Onyekachukwu, pastor of the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Church, FCT Abuja, Gwarinpa branch yesterday for allegedly sexually molesting and impregnating a 16-year-old orphan he took in under his protection. Here is the press statement about the case:

“The suspect, David Onyekachukwu, from Nsukka, South East part of the country, was said to have volunteered to provide shelter and also conduct deliverance on the girl after she was accused of witchcraft, but thereafter took advantage of the vulnerability of the innocent girl and devoured her sexually, repeatedly”

Growing up as a woman, you probably didn’t get the right sex education or even any sex education at all. And the little tidbit you got from your parents like not allowing boys to go near your vagina till you’re married because men respect virgins stuck with you till you reached womanhood. As a grown woman who has probably had sex, you now seek tricks to make your husband-to-be believe you are still a virgin, not questioning the sense in that.

The idea surrounding virginity is one of the reasons why the family of rape victims makes efforts not to report the case to avoid ‘devaluing’ the child. Even though it wasn’t the child’s fault that she lost ‘their meaning’ of virginity, they protect her ‘virginity status’ so prospective suitors won’t see her as tainted.

But is that really all virginity means? Do you cease to be a virgin only when your hymen breaks? If you said yes, sorry, what you believe in is a myth. Here are 5 common myths about virginity and its bouncer, the hymen:

There is no single recipe for a successful relationship because what you and your partner may be bingeing on may be a huge turn off in another relationship.

It’s been a ‘Lannistarkified’ 8 long years for the stars of Game of Thrones. While the epic TV show was a career launch break for most of the characters, some of who even reached puberty on set; a few others already had an impressive list of acting experience on their resume before GOT. Nevertheless, GOT undeniably added a lot to the lives of these actors who brilliantly played the roles they were ascribed—from a cash/career boost to finding love.

GOT stars will move on and we will too. But in the meantime, this finale has been a long drawn-out breakup.

As a fan of Game of Thrones, you probably wished at one time or the other that some of the love-struck characters on the series are romantically linked in real life. All that chemistry between Jaimie and Cersei, Jon Snow and Daenerys, Grey Worm and Missandei or Arya and Gendry, you want it to stick and be the deal off-screen. It will be two familiar faces ‘coupling up’ and making it feel like the story is not all fiction or make-believe—how sweet!

Anyway, we can only hope, reality is usually distinct from fiction. While we brace ourselves to bid a sad goodbye to GOT on May 19, let’s bask once again in the personal life of characters from the show that we have grown to love.

you just said he loves you much... what else can you hope for. If you love him too, damn the personality.

OK then, I thought as much. Cool you got a better job. Cheers

PunkyVeer:


Yes, they knew about it because I have told her (the food & beverage manager) of one instance where the same guy was being inappropriate but she brushed it off & still assigned me to his table because that's what he asked for I guess. "The customer is always right" policy I think had a lot to do with it. Plus race. I felt like they took sides because he was white just like them. Yup, they knew it alright but expected me to just take it I assume.

Nice story, do you think there
is a possibility that the manager is aware of the harassment and just ignored it?

PunkyVeer:
Of course I have & the old gyser got me fired from my job.

He was a lawyer & old enough to be my dad, but that didn't seem to deter him. He wanted me bad Which I found very creepy.

I was still in my teens, studying, but doing waitressing on my free time. I was working in this nice Greek themed restaurant with vines everywhere & stuff. This guy ran a law firm on the same block. He came in for breakfast everyday, which is how we met. I used to be assigned to his table & I didn't mind at 1st because he was very generous with tipping However things just got too weird for me with the way he was coming on to me, so I began refusing to be his server & they fired me. Without even caring about the explanation I gave them about why I was refusing. Ah well. I got an even better waitressing gig after that one & one without pervs going through mid-life crisis

Someone that was complaining of 500k

Let me help him convert it to naira

30k dollar = 6m Naira

500k is a little. check the contact page of happycog.com and read about the minimum they charge. They charge a minimum of 100k dollars

Also, as for how much they cost. It's nothing less than 30k dollars for the dealdey project. But take not that Konga will Def cost more.

I don't know about jumia. But Konga and dealdey was developed and still being maintained by a company I interviewed with called "vinsol". The 2 were built from scratched using ruby on rails.
Dealdey was the first which was to mimick Groupon and Konga was built after dealdey success and was to mimick ali express.
The company is a
well known Indian company. you can check them out and you will find Konga in their portfolio.

Hello, My Name is Omeiza. I am a UX Designer / Front End Developer at CKDigital here in lagos. If you are reading this. It's most likely you want to be a computer programmer, already a programmer or you have no clue of what to do next about your career.
I am not gonna talk about myself. I am just gonna give advice and if it applies to you. Then I implore to use it. I have taught and mentored a lot of people and I still teach till date. One common misconception I have noticed about we Nigerians is that we learn with the right emotions, but in the wrong direction. We are smart people, but the idea that coding is affiliated to hustling, making a lot of cash, having a kickass startup, being popular e. t c is very bad. I am come across creative people who lost it by forcing themselves to code because they feel knowing it all will earn them more. I have also seen logical thinkers who spend a lot of time pushing pixels via photos hop because they want to add that skill to all the programming language they know.
Finally, I have seen a guy who learned php, Ruby, mean stack and still wants to learn python Django but doesn't have a real job.
All these are just ways of shooting ourselves in the leg. Just pick one thing, be the best at that one thing and explore that thing till you become the go to guy. Trust me, all programming languages are the same, it
's just the syntax that is different. Also, companies that are looking for full stack developers are not to be trusted for your personal development. Learning too many of the same thing leads to mediocrity and you will discover you know less than average.
KEEP LEARNING, KEEP GROWING.

kissing says a lot. A sensitive lady can sure know what a guy's/lady's intentions are, right from the kissing. Aggressive kissing indicates burning sexuality desires. It's unlikely gonna lead to real love. But soft and focused kissing without any distraction like teeth, a lot of tongue and touching private places are the best.

This is a weird question. I am sure you know the answer to your question already but you need approval and justification for your acts. I feel guys either masterbate, have random sex or withstand the pressure. As for me, I just distract myself with my work (which is super distracting)

Nice work, which grid framework did you use?

Sometimes its not about sugar, just teach him how to calm down while having sex with ya and u guys should do a lot of cuddling before and after sex, It helps a lot. And also...don't bring your intimate marriage issues to nairaland. It might break up your home and get crazy things into your head. Talk over it and if you need to visit a doctor, you should both decide about it together.

Hello Romancelanders I want to narrate my experience with online dating.

Have always been sceptical about online dating but decided to give it a try after a one year break of dating. I opted out of my previous affair because my ex's family was against him marrying from my tribe so had to end the shiiit, and i gave myself a break since he was acting so indecisive about the whole thing. Now my experience...

I am one of the few nairaland babes that do respond to pm especially if your contribution to this forum has been matured and reasonable irrespective of the section you frequent.

So of all the pms I do have, I sieve and respond to few but so far I'm not impressed with the calibre of men searching online.

After taking risk to exchange my contact and get to meet (in chaperone oh) few of them,about 3, I found out that most men searching online has something terrible about them that makes ladies turn them down in real life that's why they run to online; it is either they are unkempt, razz or not presentable. Some can't even talk like a real man, they are either too weak or timid in real life, no class no nothing.

Forget all those edited pictures used as dp and the likes most of them in real life are dirty!!!

How can a grown up guy don't know how to clean up and look neat. I mean why must your personal hygiene be zero You're meeting someone for the first time and your mouth oozes. I mean, who does that Or is that also attributed to poverty?

I have male cousins that earn less than 50k in a month but they still look neat and presentable.

Is there someone that has experienced the same, be it with male or female?

Or am I alone in this

Its a nice write-up. I think you are right. But, I hope you are also aware that "the same thing applies to ladies too, or even worse". I read an article recently about relative beauty, and I feel it also applies to this situation. The guy that you feel oozes and is unkept might be a perfect guy for another lady. And if you think you are down to earth and you smell nice, oh...a guy can meet you and feel you are just too unkept. So, beauty and all of its other components are relative in so many situations.

Hello, My Name is Omeiza. I am a Designer/ Front-end Developer. I need a developer staying close to palmgroove. I don't care if you are a newbie. I think newbie will be better. Its very important and if you are, Pls whatsapp me @ 08036324537.

Craigston:
Interesting. I'm just a beginner. I want to do both front-end and back-end development. I hope I'll get there someday.

My advice is this, don't combine both. If you want to combine, then it will take a lifetime (that is if you want to be hardcore good and not just knowing the pheripherals). Instead, just focus on one and have an idea of the other.

And, take not...programming logic for all languages are the same. The only differences is syntax and development architecture.

Craigston:
Thanks. You saved me there. But I don't need to concatenate since I used double quotes. The PHP parser will interpret the variable in the string instead of rendering it as a string literal. That's called 'Variable Substitution'. I saw it in a book. Dunno if it's correct though since I've not tested it. I don't have a PC. I just read the tutorials in my phone and I plan to practice using online editors and free site builders that support PHP.

Ok, if you say so. I am not really a php enthusiast (so, maybe its a new development in the updated versions). I just learnt it to help me design wordpress theme, and as for backend...I prefer ruby on rails due to its mvc architecture. I am front-end webdev guy.
