Romance / 9 Sex Myths Men Believe That Are Absolutely Not True by Passion22(f): 9:14am On May 09, 2015
Sex is great. It’s free, it burns calories and it can pass
any amount of spare time from two minutes to two
hours.
But what some men fail to realise is, there’s more to
sex than just knowing where your penis goes, like, for
instance, being a bit clued up about the girl you’re
actually sleeping with.
In fact us girls often find ourselves rolling our eyes
and patiently dispelling myths so silly, that we don’t
know why you guys believe them. But believe them
you do.
So, in the aim of bettering the sex lives of Brits once
and for all, here are nine commonly held myths men
believe about sex, which we can categorically assure
you are absolutely not true.

1. Every girl you sleep with will have orgasm just
because you’re lying on top of her
Guys, we know that coming is pretty much a given for
you when you have sex, but it just doesn’t work like
that for us girls. If you haven’t made all your partners
come, it’s not you, it’s just nature. Just accept it and
move on.

2. That we’ll love that thing your ex loved
You might have beaten the orgasm statistics with that
move you pulled on your ex, but our vaginas are all
different. What worked for one won’t necessarily do
the trick for another. Soz.

3. That you can’t get someone pregnant from pre-
come
It’s worrying how many guys reach adulthood and still
believe this. The purpose of pre-come is to flush out
old sperm from the penis, so yes, it does contain
semen. Go figure.

4. That we want sex to last for ages, and ages, and
ages
We appreciate you making the effort to try and make
us come, but sometimes we just want to get it over
with and go to sleep. It’s nothing personal.

5. That girls will orgasm from penetrative sex alone
All together now ladies: NOPE. Studies have shown
that any number of women between thirty and eighty
per cent can’t orgasm from vaginal sex alone, so if you
REALLY want to make us come, you’ll have to use
your full sexual toolbox.

6. That every girl wants you to be her boyfriend
Guys, do you have feelings for every girl you’ve slept
with? Thought not. Neither do we.

7. That girls don’t watch porn
Of course we do, we’re only human after all.
BUT that doesn’t mean we think it’s realistic, or that
we want to reenact it blow by blow (so to speak).

8. That you’ll know if you’re pregnant immediately
after sex
Did you skip biology in school? We hope that’s the
reason you don’t know that pregnancy hormones take
seven days at the very least to reach a detectable level.
Yes, we know our bodies, but we’re not bloody
psychic.

9. That sex is always good
It takes time to get to know what someone likes in the
bedroom. So it figures that it probably won’t be
brilliant for either of us the first few times.

Romance / A Woman Needs More Than A Nice Body 2 Keep A Man, Cites Amber Rose & Black Chyna by Passion22(f): 6:14pm On Apr 10, 2015
Ace comedian and King of Comedy Ali Baba took out
time to explain why ladies with big booties are always
jilted in relationships such clear example is Amber Rose
and her realest bestie Blac Chyna. Read below what he
shared on Instagram citing Amber Rose and Black
Chyna.....

“I would have just left this picture to do the talking
since they say a picture can tell, but in these days of
photoshopping and half processed thoughts, one
needs to make it explicitly clear for the import of some
messages to sink home. I have said it before, no
matter how beautiful a car is on the outside, if the
engine don “knock”, it’s just a beautiful car. Not a
functional car. Same way you will meet a girl with all
the attributes, but her head no dey house, so when
those wire touch. You go hear am. She may be a
38DD, but a DinDinrin in R-E-S-P-E-C-T department.


A babe with great figure may not be able to figure out
how to manage money. She is only a gimme gimme
gimme. Faithfulness is not a given. So, if a babe has
all the curves in the right places, it doesn’t mean you
can place her on a relationship curve. There are a lot it
takes to keep a man. For some men, the “5B Basic
rule” suffices. Brains. Behavior. Beauty. Body.
Business mind. All other things can follow. If you have
the milk shake, curves and are well endowed, they
SURELY will bring all the boys in da yard…
But keeping them in the yard is another whole nine
yard FINALLY! Let’s look at a scenario where you meet
a lady with all that you see in this picture and finally,
you REALIZE that she does not have what will make
you want to run back home always after work. Go
figure! Oh by the way, this is a two way street. There
are guys who look like Denzel Washington, But will
beat you black and blue. Had to say that before some
people use me to catch groove again about my always
talking of women. But seeing that I am not into men, I
will leave that to those so inclined!


Very often we meet people who go “Ahhh now! How
can he walk out on such a sweet sexy girl?” Hey! Slow
down! Try, spend a week with that same girl, you will
repent! Sexy DOESNT make hot meals o! Don’t think
everything is as they seem OO. The duck in the pool
may be gliding smoothly but under the water away
from your eyes, the ducks feet are extra busy just to
keep the cool duck going…

In conclusion I will say, until you walk a few steps in some people’s shoes, don’t blame them for walking so slow or too fast or not taken a step. LOBATAN”.

Politics / INEC Pledges To Conduct Hitch- Free Governorship Elections by Passion22(f): 2:28pm On Apr 08, 2015
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
said it had put necessary measures in place to conduct
seamless election on across the country on Saturday.

Mr Kayode Idowu, the Chief Press Secretary to the
chairman of INEC, stated this in an interview with
newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja.

Idowu said that after the March 28 elections, the
commission evaluated the processes to ensure that
identified challenges were addressed, NAN reports.

“The commission is very optimistic that there will be much
more seamless election on April 11.

“Take card reader for example, the commission had given
directive that the cellophane on the surface of the gadget
must be removed,” he said.

He said that the commission had also directed that the
SIM of the card reader that required activation before use
must be activated in a phone before being inserted in
card readers.

“The commission has also directed that card readers’
batteries must be fully charged before the elections and all
logistics provided.

“These include the provision of generator sets at
Registration Areas Centres (RACs) where card readers were
expected to be charged.

“The commission also instructed the states to ensure that
the RACs are functional,” he said.

Idowu added that the commission had instructed Resident
Electoral Commission (RECs) in the states to re-engage
security agencies, especially the police, in order to ensure
adequate security during the election.

According to him, with these provisions already in place,
the commission is unlikely to resort to manual
accreditation.

He disclosed that RECs had been directed to re-engage
National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) for
distribution of materials, adding that they would meet
their leaders to ensure that their vehicles were released
early for the exercise.

“This approach would enhance early dispatches of electoral
materials to polling units,” he said.
On protest by 16 political parties to the commission’s
headquarters over Rivers elections, Kayode said he was
unaware of such protest or any petition.

He said the only petition sent to the commission was
properly investigated and addressed before the final
collation of the presidential election result.

Politics / Gov. Kwankwaso Approves N104m Tuition To 359 Students . by Passion22(f): 2:13pm On Apr 08, 2015
The Kano State Government has approved over N104
million as tuition fees to 359 state-sponsored students at
Al-Qalam University, Katsina.

The state Commissioner for Information, Hajiya Ladidi
Garko, disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing newsmen
on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting in
Kano.

Garko said the council also approved N16.5 million for the
purchase of tools and equipments for new Technical
Colleges in Tofa, Doguwa and Sumaila local government
areas.

She also said that the council approved N117 million for
the construction of Ceremonial City Tower and landscaping
project at Kofar-Naisa in the metropolis.

“The council also approves N1million as medical assistance
to victims of Jumat Mosque bomb blast.
“The council further approves N22.7 million for
construction of security toll gates at Tumfafi and Dawanau
in Kumbotso,” she said.

According to her, another N2.4 million is set aside for the
state’s participation at the 2015 Shell/NNPC Cup.
She said the government was more than prepared to
reduce the infrastructure deficit in the state and improve
the wellbeing of the people.

Romance / Why Do Men Cheats Even In A Loving Relationship? by Passion22(f): 11:38am On Nov 13, 2014
I know this question isn't news anymore... Before guys give one excuse or the other why they cheat. But I realized this past years that women are trying to meet up in every way possible to satisfy their men so that they won't bother looking outside for things she can't provide. Eg, they try to be better in d sex department, try to be good cooks, try by all means to stay in shape and look good at all cost, keeping their bad character and attitude in check, etc.... But despite all these, men still cheat.. So the big question is "Why do men cheat even in a loving relationship?"

Romance / Ladies, You Should Stay Away From This Kinds Of Men!. by Passion22(f): 9:45am On Oct 17, 2014
Most Nigerian women have met these types of men in her life...It is better to stay alone than to get married to these kinds of guys;

1. Still adores his ex
You probably know that type. He says that he loves you and that it is over between he and his ex, but he continues to compare you with his ex-girlfriend. He won’t be able to show you the love you deserve until he is over her. And this can last for ages.

2. Unready for serious relationships
There are a lot of guys that when dating a girl, and the relationship progresses or he decides that he is not interested in you, he just mentions that he is not ready for a serious relationship. You begin to wonder if he was really not ready for a marriage or it was just an excuse to dump you.

3. “Perfectionist”
No, it is not about the perfect guys. It is about guys who are always wondering if you are not his perfect girlfriend. And who often wonders if a better version of you is waiting for him somewhere. These kinds of men are just not worth your attention.

4. The one who still manages his career
If a guy is older than 35 and he is still unsure about what his dream job is, or a man who is not currently working or doing different kinds of odd jobs all the time, he is unlikely to settle down soon. Nigerian men like to settle their careers before proposing, don’t forget that.

5. He has never dated anyone
If a guy seems to be nice, mature and says to you that he is ready for marriage, even though he has never been in a relationship, it could be a trap. Why was he single all these time? He might be hiding something from you.
Romance / 10 Secrets To Keeping The Love Strong And Your Relationship From Sinking. by Passion22(f): 4:19pm On Sep 21, 2014
I thought I had it all figured out. I
created my future in an imaginary
crystal ball, and I was ready to ride off
into the sunset into all my happily-
ever-after, fairytale bliss.
The only problem with all of this is
that I typically shared my unsolicited
advice while single, avoiding love like
the plague, or in a terribly toxic
relationship.
I created unrealistic expectations in my
mind that only set me up for one failed
relationship after another, which I
immediately justified as “one door
closing so another could open” or
promising my heart that “there are far
greater things ahead than any we leave
behind.”
As I’ve continued to grow and develop
as a woman, a writer and a lover, I have
learned a few things about true love and
how skewed my perception of what it
meant used to be.
I am fortune enough to be surrounded by
so many amazing (absolutely imperfect)
relationships that have allowed me to
piece together a few secrets that no one
(especially the self-righteous, naïve,
advice-soliciting blogger I used to be)
would dare tell you.
1. LOVE IS NOT A FEELING; IT IS A CHOICE
I used to believe that when I found my
perfect love, it would suddenly make
everything else in my life perfect as
well. I believed that love conquered
all, and that one day I would meet
someone who would change everything I
felt, saw and believed.
This is simply not the way that it works.
Being in love does not mean you won’t
have days when you feel as though the
world is ending and your life is over.
Being in love does not mean you won’t
be moody, grouchy, analytical of every
detail and even question aspects of your
relationship that self-affirming blogger
girl would tell you marks a giant red
flag.
Choosing to love someone in spite of
these fleeting feelings is a constant,
conscious, daily decision.
2. LUST FADES, LOVE STAYS
Butterflies, magic, stardust and rainbows
are all great, but they all go away.
Lust is present in the beginning of nearly
all relationships, as it is what attracts
you to someone in the first place.
Before you know it, butterflies in your
stomach become taking care of him after
one too many shots of whiskey, and
getting dolled up for a dinner date
becomes good morning kisses while
sipping coffee on the patio with no
makeup on. We are conditioned to
believe that the former is better than the
latter, but I believe the opposite.
Lust, chemistry and primal attraction
are wonderful feelings, but they are just
that: feelings. Love remains long after
the clock strikes midnight and the magic
fades away. Love is the ability to see
beyond the shell in which someone is
contained, and love them for the
qualities they possess that would still
be present if the whole world were
blind.
3. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T LIKE SOMEONE DOESN’T
MEAN YOU DON’T LOVE THEM
There are going to be times where you
don’t really like your partner very
much, but you still love him or her. In
fact, love gives us the ability to see past
all of the many annoying things that
someone does on a daily basis.
Want to know the best part? This also
means that someone loves you enough to
put up with you even when they don’t
like you at the moment.
No one is perfect; we all have our
moods and our pet peeves and the things
that make us unique. There will be
times when you will look at your
partner and think, “Why in the world do
I love this person so dang much?”
When this question presents itself, stop
and think about your life without him or
her, and you will inevitably discover
the answer.
4. LETTING GO OF UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS IS THE
HEALTHIEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR LOVE
This is a really big one for me. I still
struggle sometimes with wanting a
storybook romance that makes all of the
fairytales jealous. I set love on such a
pedestal that I don’t think anyone stood
a chance measuring up.
I still believe in love with all of my
heart, but I am learning to accept the
fact that I don’t get to determine the
parameters for which love comes into
my life.
It isn’t “settling” to accept the fact that
true love takes work every single day,
requires sacrifice and effort and does not
involve finding someone who can read
your mind and make every single one of
your wishes come true.
Letting go of unrealistic expectations I
had created for love allowed me to
open my heart up to imperfect, jagged,
pieces of love that filled spaces I didn’t
even know were missing.
5. YOU ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND’S (OR YOUR SISTER’S/
MOM’S/NEIGHBOR’S) RELATIONSHIP
It is human nature to seek advice and
consolation from loved ones when
facing both highs and lows, but it’s
imperative to remember that your
relationship is not the same as any of
the relationships around you.
I adopted trust issues after my best friend
was cheated on, became a phone snooper
when a girlfriend snooped and found
exactly what she was looking for and
I’ve convinced myself on a coffee date
that all men must be the same.
Relationships have enough problems,
struggles and limitations independently;
don’t borrow problems from those
around you. Along the same lines,
everyone around you will always have
the answer/advice/solution no matter
what kind of situation your current
relationship is facing.
Take these words of wisdom with a grain
of salt. Follow your heart, but take
your head with you, too. You are not
him or her; he or she is not you and
nobody really understands all of the
intricate details of a relationship from
the outside.
6. LOVE NEEDS TO BE WATERED IN ORDER TO GROW
Just as much as loving someone is a
choice, relationships must be watered
and nurtured in order to grow into their
purest, fullest, happiest form.
Relationships, like anything else worth
having in life, take work. This does not
mean that you should be bending over
backward and causing riffs in all other
aspects of your life in order to make a
relationship work.
Working on a relationship and making a
relationship work are two completely
different concepts. Life is way too short
to spend it with someone you are simply
“making it work” with. At the same time,
it’s imperative to remember that you
must protect and nurture your
relationship if you want it to thrive.
Take time to reconnect, show
appreciation and grow together. All too
often I see people living parallel
lives; merely coexisting with their
significant other.
While it’s important to continue to grow
and develop individually, it is just as
important to grow together and
strengthen the bonds that brought you
together in the first place. The grass is
greener where you water it, and love
grows fullest when watered on a daily
basis.
7. DIRTY LAUNDRY DOES NOT BELONG ANYWHERE
OTHER THAN A LAUNDRY BASKET
Social media makes this concept very
difficult, as many people are
conditioned to turn directly to a tweet,
status or hashtag to declare their
feelings and emotions at any given
moment.
I had a wonderful conversation with an
older couple in which the woman told
me that she had a conversation with her
daughter when she was having marriage
issues. “I just don’t get it; you and dad
have never been in a fight in your 40
years of marriage, yet we seem to fight
all the time. What’s your secret?”
The woman replied, “Honey, dad and I
fight when he leaves the milk lid
unscrewed, swears in front of the
grandkids and forgets to turn the AC off
before leaving the house. We’ve spent
the past 40 years fighting. The secret to
our marriage is the fact that the fight
starts and ends exactly where it belongs:
between us.”
I love this concept. Life is not always
going to be rainbows and butterflies, and
relationships will inevitably face
rough waters and bumpy roads. A
disagreement between two people is
much easier resolved than a
disagreement that involves social media
and screen shots of conversations.
It’s easy to want to declare your
emotions and anger to the world when
you are feeling hurt or vulnerable, but
learning to turn to one another and to
work on discovering the root of the
problem will lead to a much more
healthy resolve. Plus, it’s no fun having
to defend a mended relationship that you
just got done slandering via social
media.
Keep your dirty laundry in your
laundry basket and learn how to sift
through it together.
8. SOMETIMES YOU DON’T “JUST KNOW” AND THAT’S
OKAY
This is another concept I continue to
struggle with. I always believed that I
would meet someone and instantly
know he was my soul mate. I have
heard people say, “when you are with
the right person, you will know,”more
times than I can even count, and I spent
a lot of time letting people pass me by
because I would meet them without
having an instant connection.
I know that part of my heart will
always be a hopeless romantic, and I
am okay with that, but I am also
learning that sometimes falling in love
isn’t fireworks and ringing bells and
jumping from airplanes without looking
below.
Sometimes love is a quiet wave, slowly
kissing the shore and sneaking back into
the vast blue ocean. Sometimes love is
friendship caught fire, a well-deserved
second chance and a resting place for
your heart when you find yourself
caught in a storm. Sometimes love has
been right under your nose all along.
I still believe that when I find my
perfect love, I will “know” in a sense,
but I am learning that for everything I
know, there’s a parallel that I don’t
know and that’s okay. Sometimes love
isn’t having everything figured out, but,
rather, finding peace in knowing that
you have someone by your side that you
enjoy discovering the answers with.
9. YOUR LIFE IS NOT A MOVIE
There are two outcomes in life: the way
we think it should go and the way it
actually ends up going. Movies, social
media, online articles and Hollywood
dramas set a precedence that does not
align with reality in any sense.
When we encounter struggles or
hardships, it’s almost human nature to
think of the ultra-romantic way our
significant other SHOULD handle it.
Don’t let your relationship “should all
over itself. Your relationship may not
make a very good screenplay, but life
has enough ups and downs and
sometimes a relationship is best when
served on solid ground.
Allow your relationship to grow and
develop without expectations set by
others. Keep in mind that even the most
romantic and sexy movies end (usually
in 90 minutes or less). Your relationship
has the potential to be a lifetime of
sweet moments dipped in a heavy dose of
reality. Treating your relationship with
movie-worthy expectations with
inevitably result in a not-so-happy-
ending while the credits roll.
10. LOVE TAKES TIME
Last, but certainly not least, please
remember this: love takes time. We live
in a world where we want something,
and we want it now. I’ve learned that
the faster something catches fire, the
faster it is likely to burn out.
Be patient with your heart. Be patient
with the hearts around you. If you see
potential in someone, allow it to
transpire naturally, without forcing
expectations and timestamps all over it.
Men often take longer than women to
open up, and it can be frustrating to feel
like you are progressing much quicker
than your partner. Please remember that
just because someone doesn’t love the
SAME way you do, it doesn’t mean they
don’t love with all that they have.
Patience is a characteristic that I feel
many of us neglect in so many aspects of
our lives. It’s important to not only be
patient with our loved ones’ hearts, but
patient with the heart beating within our
own chest.
We have all loved and lost, been hurt
and scared, and we are all choosing to
put one foot in front of the other in an
attempt to love again. Be patient with
your feelings, be patient with your
emotions and be patient when giving
your love.
Let yourself give love. Let yourself be
loved.

Romance / Twelve Test Of Love. by Passion22(f): 9:19am On Sep 21, 2014
1). Test Of Time: Love benefits and grows through time; Infatuation ebb and diminishes with time.
2). Test of Knowledge: Love grows out of an appraisel of all the known characteristics of the other person; Infatuation may grow out of an acquaintance with only one of those characteristics known about the other person.
3). Test of Focus: Genuine love is other person centered; Infatuation is self-centered. Infatuated people are all caught up with themselves.
4). Test of Singularity: Genuine love is focused on only one person. An infatuated individual may be "in love" with two or more persons simultaneously.
5). Test of Security: Genuine love requires and fosters a sense of security and feelings of trust. An infatuated individual seem to have a blind sense of security, based upon wishful thinking rather than careful consideration; Infatuation is blind to problems, or he/she may have a sense of insecurity that is sometimes expressed as jealousy.
6). Test of Work: An individual in love works for the other person, for his/her mutual benefits. By contrast, an infatuated person loses his/her ambitions, appetite and interests in everyday affairs.
7). Test of Problem Solving: A couple in love faces problems frankly and tries to solve them. Infatuated people tend to disregard or try to ignore problems.
cool. Test of Distance: Love knows the importance of distance. Infatuation imagines love to be intense closeness 24/7 all the time.
9). Test of Physical Attraction: Physical attraction is a relatively small part of genuine love, but it is the center focus of infatuation.
10). Test of Affection: In love, affection is expressed later in the relationship involving the external expression of the physical attraction I just described. In infatuation, affection is expressed earlier, sometimes at the very beginning.
11). Test of Stability: Love tends to endure. Infatuation may Change suddenly and unpredictably.
12). Test of Delayed Gratification: A couple in genuine love is not indifferent to the timing of their wedding, but they do not feel an irresistible drive toward it. An infatuated couple tends to feel and urge to get married instantly. Case study, Ammon and Tamar, (2Samuel 13). Jacob and Rachel, (Genesis 29:1-20).

I know this present generation will think other wise. A generation that wants everything easy. A generation that wants the short cut. A generation that doesn't wanna work hard, but wants everything good thing on a platter of Gold. But it doesn't work that way, "We all will reap what we sow" if not now, but eventually.
Choose life that ye may live.

Seriously, there where times when i feel dat i would be btter off being d ugly one in ma circle of friends and ma relations. Cus d attention is too much for me to handle sometimes, it made me become shy, i cant walk pass a group of guys, females hate me, guys want me and ma sister hate me cus her two exes want me. Guys are scared of approching beautiful babes, and if u are intelligent, dats a big prob, cus dey will feel intimidated by u. Since have got d two Bs (beauty and brains) dats a big prob to me.

Wen a tender heart is broken, d world everywhere is a snare. Where tender giddy feet slip and fall. D world is a maw, waiting to claim youthful ones, who neva watch and pray. D world everywhere is a mighty lair where beastly foes couch so eager to pounce on kids who ramp all day. God save d kids
