This rare scene happened at Ikeja under bridge few hours ago, I was at the bus-stop looking for a chilled drink to buy before a Lagos transit parked in front of me and right before we could say bingo the conductor was already raining curses on the passenger

The conductor was just about to say “your mother” the second time again before the passenger pounced on him before he could mention “your”, he was beaten to pulp before the Ikeja policeman came to rescue him

Hopefully, this will put a lot of conductors in check, especially the lagos agbero that can wag their dirty tongues for africa

Hello NNR, My fiance and I have been together for a year and a half. We are planning to get married in the next couple months, but I am on the verge of losing him because I get angry easily and I’m not sure what do to. I love him more than anything and all I want is to be with him. It is mainly my fault and I’ve realized that, I have mood swings and I’m not a very patient person. I have suggested we try premarital counseling but he doesnt seem to thrilled with the idea. He is just ready to give up, but I know we have a great relationship outside of my mood swings(and I am working very hard to control this and seeking help). I know this is worth fighting for, how do I get him to see that?? Please anyone with any advice?

Hello NNR, I found out I was pregnant. I’d been with my boyfriend a month and a half. We did a home pregnancy test that morning, so we both found out at the same time.”

PRESSURE, CONFUSION, INDECISION, FEAR
“(Boyfriend) made it very, very clear that he didn’t want to have kids. But I think that I was just more scared of even wanting to think about what I wanted, so I just went ahead with (his decision of) not keeping it. Afterwards, later, that decision was really, really hard for me to deal with… because I hadn’t done it for the right reasons.

Of course, he was still torn up about it, he wasn’t happy about that by any means; he just didn’t want to have a child, and wouldn’t have anything to do with it (and with me) if we did have it. He didn’t want to suddenly be married and have kids.

I am just 19 years old, I need your advice, should I run away from home with the pregnancy as I am scared of aborting the baby or get a drug that can help terminate it and please recommend any good drugs yoi know

Femi Owolabi, the journalist who was allegedly tortured by some policemen attached to the Anti-Robbery Section of the State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba, Lagos, lectured about 100 policemen and officers on human rights issues on Thursday.

Owolabi, who was invited by the police authorities to deliver the lecture, spent about an hour with the policemen during the event, which also included an interactive session.

Punch Metro had reported on November 2, 2015, that the victim had gone to a night club with a female friend, Chidinma, when some officers raided the club and arrested him and others.

They were reportedly tortured before being taken to the SDCI, Yaba, where he alleged that some policemen extorted money from him and other suspects.

Owolabi, who reportedly sustained injuries to his neck during the incident, had narrated his ordeal to Punch Metro.

The police high command had thereafter arrested nine of the culprits and put them in detention.

It was also reported that the police were planning to dismiss the officers, when the victim decided to withdraw the case.

The question on every Nigerian's mind right now is simple and straightforward, where is President Buhari travelling to?

The nation is in complete turmoil, we are riddled in a perilous time where it is much easier to meet the pope than get fuel anywhere in the country

There is a strong dissent from a fraction of igbo brothers waiting to be addressed, the number one terrorism group in the world, boko haram is still on the loose and we have the ever blood-thirsty fulani herdsmen who are busy slitting throats on the front page of our talboid, Mr President, is circumambulating the orbit, travelling from one country to the other, Sir, even our light doesn’t travel anyhow

It is very safe to say the President has embarked on more international trips than any other African president this year

I strongly believe that these trips have so far been wasteful and we should not forget that the cost-benefit analysis strongly weighs against the cost of those trips

Even as I write this, none of the aforementioned campaign promises has been fulfilled and our economy has since degraded from the malaise state it was to an extremely inoperable statuette

Mr President, we know you love the perks your office brings, but this is not the the right time to meet and greet in Iran or see Paris and die

It is high time you pay unfaltering attention to the plight of this great country, we know the job is not easy, but we have entrusted you to make this country great again

We hope you will start working towards making us a proud nation, I personally, do not want to conclude yet that Nigeria is on auto-pilot

More Update
Ewoooh so this thing has eggs inside
No wonder it couldn't run properly

When I walk into a store, I always tell the salespeople, “Sell me something.”

Especially when I love the store. At Samsonite, the luggage retailer, I expected superior service. My needs were basic. For my international flight to Austria, I needed a garment bag that I could carry onto the airplane.

The saleswoman was too busy talking with her girlfriend. She paid little attention to my needs, even when I told her to “Sell me something.” When I found the garment bag by myself, I asked her about the dimensions to see if it would fit on the airplane as ‘carry-on’ luggage. Of course, I would never buy a carry-on bag that I couldn’t ‘carry-on’ the airplane.

I needed to know the length, width, and height of the garment bag. That’s all.

My saleswoman affirmed that the garment bag was ideal for a carry-on. She told me that she’s been working there for 10 years and all of her customers loved the bag, especially as a carry-on. I fully believed her. After all, she’s been with the company for 10 years.

Delighted, I bought the bag for a great price. As I walked down the mall, I went to another luggage store and listened to a woman give me an excellent sales pitch on her luggage. She complimented my current bag, but assured me that it wouldn’t fit as a carry-on. Dumbfounded, I checked the facts online.

She was right!

On Amazon.com, it confirmed that my bag was too big. I went back to Samsonite and asked for a refund. The saleswoman argued with me and reluctantly gave my money back. Her girlfriend was grinning from a distance as she rocked back and forth in her seat with the attitude of an impatient chimpanzee at the zoo.

“Ma’am, do you have a tape measure?” I asked. She ought to check the size, I thought. “I don’t carry that on me,” she said. After 10 years of working with luggage, I thought she would. Neither did she have a pen when I had to sign the receipt to return the merchandise. Nonetheless, she still scoffed at me as I walked out of her store. Her girlfriend did laugh too.

I believe this way of doing business is unacceptable.

From that experience, I’m honored to share with you seven truths every millionaire knows about business:

1. Know Your Numbers
Every season, I buy suits. I know my size in every conceivable way (including European sizes). When I ask the salesman to “Sell me something,” he better measure me and tell me exactly what size I am. If he comes out with something that is three sizes too big, I’m leaving immediately.

Surprisingly, a vast number of business people don’t know their facts and figures. You must know your prices and dimensions of everything you offer. If you’re branding yourself as an expert, you better have superior knowledge about your industry. It’s easy to learn about everything that you offer. When information is present, feast on it, even when no one else is making proper use of it.

2. Know Your Tools
I bought three dress shoes yesterday from a remarkable salesman. He offered me a “shoe-horn,” which is an excellent tool to help you slip on your shoes. At fine restaurants, I receive immeasurable joy when the host “checks” my coat in the closet. I am also astonished when the server uses a “crumb-catcher” when I finish the courses before my main entree.

Many of us have the right tools available for our business. However, we need to learn how to use them with excellence. You don’t have to know everything about your tool and its history; you just have to know how to use it. When you dazzle your clients with the tools which you’ve mastered, they will applaud you to the bank. Trust me, I’m a master of the microphone.

3. Know Your Time
My personal trainer is stupendous when it comes to his time-management skills. Every time we train, he’s always done exactly at 60 minutes, with precision. I’m often amazed at how he does it, especially since he keeps me so busy that I don’t have the time to check the clock myself!

Those who know their time will be able to control their schedules. If you’re always running late on the services that you offer, you don’t have the right to increase your business. Conversely, those who master the clock will have the power to master serving all of their clients with the utmost diligence.

4. Know Your Energy
As I prepared to eat my mouth-watering lobster, a clumsy server started to “sell me” on why he was the best server in the restaurant (he wanted me to come back to him on my next visit). As he continued his speech, while catching his breath, he told me why the other servers were slow and why he made the most money on his shift.

Verily, this man was deceiving himself in unprecedented ways. He thought that running back and forth kept him busy and earned him more money. However, the exact opposite was true. Despite being young, he ran out of steam each night because of his misdirected energy. This made him serve in a sloppy manner. Working harder will never beat working smarter.

5. Know Your Personnel
I personally have an army of aides who help me do my work successfully. My editor, Maureen, is top-notch at what she does. If I handed her this article, which I did, she would flip it to me error-free within 24 hours. My lawyer, Chris, will get me an answer within a few hours if I ever needed his help. It only takes a few clicks or dials to know everything in the world.

Knowing your personnel can help you to create an impeccable business. If you have the right people aligned with your business model, you will be unstoppable. Every area in your business demands expertise and you must put the best people in place. Always pay your people top dollar if you can, lest they leave you unexpectedly

6. Know Your Money
Most “professionals” don’t know what’s in their bank accounts. They know within the hundreds of dollars, but not pennies. Everyone in our society gets charged with fees that they never even realize. As they go along with their lives, they’re getting ridiculous fees from products and services that they rarely, if ever, utilize.

When you know your money, you’ll grow your money. You should know exactly how much you earn, spend, and save. You must always seek to have a surplus at the end of every month. If you do, your profits will increase by incalculable measures. Knowing your financial affairs is the surest ways to become wealthy.

7. Know Your Customer
I saved the best for last. Your real boss is your customer. They pay you. In fact, all the money that you will ever receive will come from other people, so you better take care of them. Ensuring that your customer is satisfied should be your highest priority.

You’ll also want to go the extra mile when you can. Use people’s names, over-deliver on your promises, understand their deepest, long-term needs. These are the simple elements that must be acknowledged if you want to succeed in business. No matter what industry you’re in, knowing your customer is the best and most effective way to increase your business. Ask your customer.



http://www.naijanewsrave.com/7-truths-every-millionaire-knows-about-business/

Last Friday I woke up to news that the jihadist group al-Murabitoun had attacked a hotel in Mali and held over a hundred hostages. Reports stated that 27 people had died by the end of the day. Every day we are haunted by the news of terror in at least one part of the world.

It is easy to feel solidarity with some, while others seem so distant. Perhaps as one writer put it, that is human. Perhaps. Resources are limited, knowledge is limited, and so are attention spans. Indeed if we were to stop and think about the crimes of humanity committed against humanity, from the terrorist attack, to the child who dies of starvation, we would not have time for much else. In truth, maybe we shouldn’t. But idealism, and all of that.

Empathy for humankind, I hope, is something that though it may not be experienced at equivalent intensities at all times, ought to be reserved for all people in all spaces. In fact, the more vulnerable the people, the greater our empathy ought to be. Again, I hope.
Empathy for humankind, I hope, is something that though it may not be experienced at equivalent intensities at all times, ought to be reserved for all people in all spaces.

Earlier last week on my mind was a country approximately 1660 kilometres from Mali – Nigeria. Nigeria is the land of my birth, and although every thinking person has a complicated relationship with the socially constructed space they were born into, it is more so when you are from a recently colonized space, a space you left when you were young; a space to you, that like every other space, can feel both like home but also foreign – a familiar yet strange space.

As I negotiate my Nigerian-ness and what it means in adulthood, as an observer of culture and identity, as a person who has always lived so far away, but who would also not claim any other socially constructed space as my primary identity, I begin to wonder what being a Nigerian means too, during the time of Boko Haram. I have heard people from Nigeria say, “Boko Haram is not Nigeria” or “Boko Haram is anti-Nigeria” or “They are not one of us.” And yet here they are, on our soil, taking our children, raping our women, killing our people.

It is a distancing phenomenon that is not unique to Nigeria. No group of people anywhere in the world like to look at themselves in all their horror, and take responsibility for their most cruel sons. Especially in a Nigeria with a history that bears an “us” versus “them” politics and society: north versus south, or Christian versus Muslim, or ethnic divisions – take your pick of the latter.
No group of people anywhere in the world like to look at themselves in all their horror, and take responsibility for their most cruel sons.

Indeed, an interesting moment of intercultural difference dawned on me last week during an interaction. In the United States when someone asks, “What are you?” It is likely because you are racially or nationally ambiguous. In Nigeria when people ask that question, they want to know your ethnic tribe. With this knowledge, preconceived notions and stereotypes can be formed about who you are.

Our ethnic histories matter in Nigeria as in much of Africa in a way that non-Africans may not always appreciate. In one sense it is because African history is still largely passed orally. Thus from a young age, the history and tales and narratives of your people are passed down from your elders to form who you are.

But I think too, even among young people who are less ethnically divisive and divided as older generations, there is an attachment to our ethnic tribes that is interestingly postcolonial, but also because of our precolonial histories: our ethnic groups were in existence before our nations were colonized, and they continue to exist after our nations were independent. As such, there is a romanticism of who we are when we talk about what we are – our ethnicity. We like to think the colonizers didn’t take that away from us.

In this ethnic romanticization as well as regional and religious division, some Nigerians continue to distance themselves and the country from Boko Haram. I get it. The West already has its incomplete constructions and imaginations about us – we don’t want to fall into their stereotypes. After all, Nigerians, like any big and significant population of people in the world, already have many negative global stereotypes. From “419 e-mail scammers” to “being arrogant without cause.” And now, the potential for a stereotype of terrorists. “Must we suffer this stereotype too?” That was a question a Nigerian college student recently expressed to me in distress.

beetlejuice

Terrorism is a global phenomenon but the way it is manifested is regional, local, and culturally specific. Boko Haram has been deadly mostly in the Muslim north. For some in the Christian south, this desire to be free from Boko Haram’s tarnishment of the country’s image, has led to more othering of the north. It has brought back the feelings of some who always thought that the country should not be one, but two: a mostly Muslim north, and a mostly Christian south, which are also divided along ethnic lines.

I guess the problem with thinking about what it means to be Nigerian in the time of Boko Haram is that Nigerians still haven’t entirely figured out what it means to be Nigerian, period. We certainly haven’t figured how to be Nigerian in all its diversity and live in peace.
I guess the problem with thinking about what it means to be Nigerian in the time of Boko Haram is that Nigerians still haven’t entirely figured out what it means to be Nigerian, period.

Most times I think what it means to be Nigerian is to occupy a space where you feel little, if any, patriotism towards the country, especially towards its political institutions and government. And yet you feel a deep pride in being a part of Africa’s self-proclaimed greatest truly African country. (The truly African part is often meant as a snide remark against South Africa because the two nations are seen as continental competitors, economically, and in terms of social and cultural influence.)

Interestingly, I think we – Nigerians – share that psyche with Americans: a certain self-importance about the nation one was brought into, even where the facts of that nation do not match up to the pride for that nation. But maybe that’s everywhere in the world. It’s just more noticeable when there are a whole lot of you anywhere in the world.

As a Nigerian in Diaspora, dealing with the facts of the country and what it is and isn’t, is always complicated. But now more so during the time of Boko Haram when from a distance, you almost can’t believe this is happening. The tendency, I have seen of those in Diaspora, like many Nigerians in the country, is to distance. “Boko Haram is not Nigeria.” “Boko Haram is anti-Nigeria.” “They are not us.” Except they are. It is a terrifying thought but they are. These evil madmen are us.

We say suicide is un-Nigerian and terrorism is un-Nigerian but here we are. They came from our societies and because of our very Nigerian political way of not dealing with things until they are really bad, we are now going up against the deadliest terrorist group there is in the world right now, in the matter of sheer number of deaths. And sometimes it feels like we’re winning and sometimes it feels like we’re losing.

It felt like we were losing last week when at least 31 people died in Kano.

beetlejuice

Being a Nigerian in Diaspora means feeling a frustration that you’re told not to worry about – because you don’t live there now. It means being simplified into a person who ought to know about Boko Haram, even when you’re not sure you know more than anyone else. It means being a person who is now pitied by those who at least know what is going on in your country, but also those with no sense of understanding of the complexity of Nigeria. It means wanting people to care, but not wanting you or your people to be pitied with that condescending imagination that people in this part of the world often have of Africans.

Most days I just feel uncomfortable talking about Boko Haram with non-Africans. It’s probably a prejudice. But to explain that one part of a country can be fine, carrying on as it were, while the other part is in a period of hellish violence on a relatively mass scale, and this dissonance is accepted, is something maybe only other Africans, or at least people who are from developing countries, just get. It’s not something you can understand by a history lesson or a cultural documentary or a volunteer visit or turning on the news. It’s something that you either just get or you don’t.

In the end, I am left with several feelings. Frustration at the Nigerian government. Helplessness for those experiencing the acts of terrorism as victims. Anger at other Nigerians who ignore the problem entirely or use it to promote ethnic and religious divisions. And from an ocean away, weariness at the ignorance that now exists at multiple levels about the country. And every now and then, the feeling of futility creeps in and stays a while.

Still, it has never been my prerogative to discuss despair without providing hope because I do not believe in giving up the latter. So even from that ocean away, I am reminded that Nigeria has defeated monsters before: colonization, civil war, dictatorship governments, etc. I feel encouraged by the activists everywhere in the world who demand their voices be heard from the political institutions and media that influence how this story unravels. And I feel overwhelmed with inspiration at the strength of especially the Nigerian girls and women of the north, who continue to seek education and empowerment, even under the threat of cowardly men with guns and bombs.

Nigerians are a resilient people, and though it can be our greatest weakness, it can also be our greatest strength. With the strength that Nigerians are known for and pride ourselves on having, it is imperative that wherever we are, we find ways to be in solidarity with our country, and to humbly ask for people to be in solidarity with us. Whether it is providing women and children of the north with monetary support (from grassroots organizations), or demonstrating in front of our embassies, or relentlessly questioning our political institutions. Or maybe its simply making the effort to share your perspective with the world that hopefully educates people even just a little bit about a complicated, strange land where you feel foreign. But a land that however complicated, will also always be home.

Lalasticlala

The CDC estimates over 19 million new STD infections are diagnosed every year., almost half of them in men and women 15 to 24 years old. Doctors say there anywhere from 25-50 different kinds of STD, though you have probably only heard of the 7-10 most common ones.

Most sexually transmitted infections are not deadly, and many are just inconvenient. Many people live their whole lives with an STD—but this doesn’t mean you should just “wait until it goes away” if you think you might have one. No one wants to go to the doctor for problems down there, but STDs can cause anything from the downright disgusting to pain, infertility, and death. Here are the top 10 most common STDs, arranged in order from most common to least common in the U.S.

10. Bacterial Vaginosis

Okay, so this isn’t technically an STD, but it is classified as a sexually transmitted infection by the CDC because of its possible causes. Bacterial vagniosis, more commonly known as a yeast infection, can affect every woman of child-bearing age (regardless of sexual activity), and many women get 3 or 4 yeast infections per year—making this by far the most common STI and #1 on our list.

No one really knows what causes yeast infections. Simply put, bacterial vaginosis is when the normal growth of healthy bacteria in the vagina becomes unbalanced for any reason. One possible cause of a bacterial imbalance in the vagina is getting a new sex partner or having multiple sex partners, but many other undetermined factors can cause a yeast infection, and even women who have never had sex can get it. Symptoms may include itching, burning during urination, vaginal discharge, and unpleasant odors in the tender regions. Fortunately, treatments are fast and simple and can usually be found at the local drugstore.

9. Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis (Trich for short) is actually not a disease. It’s a parasite. This single-celled organism can affect both men and women and most commonly lives in the vagina or urethra. It infects an estimated 7.4 million people per year. Fortunately, it’s not hard to cure, but that doesn’t mean having Trich is fun. Most men with Trich never exhibit symptoms, so it can be difficult to tell if a man has it. Symptoms for men include irritation, burning after urination, and mild discharge. For women, the symptoms are itching, strong odor, and frothy yellow-green discharge. Trich can only be treated with prescription drugs, so if you exhibit any of these symptoms, you should probably contact a doctor as soon as possible. But the effects of Trich are relatively mild compared with the next most common STD on the list.

8. Genital Warts

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infects about 6 million men and women every year, making it one of the top 3 worst STDs in the country. Most people who carry HPV never exhibit any symptoms, but the virus can be transmitted easily through vaginal intercourse, anal sex, or even MouthAction with an infected partner. When symptoms occur, the health problems HPV can cause are among the most unpleasant of any STD, ranging from colonies of cauliflower-shaped bumps throughout the genital region to cervical cancer, anal cancer, throat cancer, and even death.

The good news is HPV is not deadly if it is diagnosed early. The bad news is it can take years for symptoms to appear, and there is no cure for the virus itself, though genital warts and cancers caused by HPV can be treated. Vaccination and regular screenings are a must.

7. Pubic Lice

The fourth most common STD in the U.S. infects about 3 million people per year. Luckily, this STI is more embarrassing than dangerous, but it is definitely on the top 10 list of things that make you go “ew.” Pubic lice are tiny parasitic insects that live in the hair of the genital region. They spread through almost any sexual contact. The lice are clearish in color and hard to spot, but both eggs and adult bugs are visible with the naked eye. Beyond an irritating itch, pubic lice don’t cause any health problems. Lice can be treated with most lice-killing shampoos available at the nearest pharmacy, but admitting to your partner that you have them can be punishment in itself!

6. Chlamydia

Each year there are about 3.2 million new cases. It can be transmitted by men, but the effects of Chlamydia are worst in women. It is a “silent” and dangerous infection. The majority of people infected don’t show any symptoms, but Chlamydia can cause serious permanent damage in the meantime. In women, Chlamydia often causes pelvic inflammatory disease. If left untreated, it can lead to infertility and highly dangerous ectopic pregnancy. Symptoms of Chlamydia, if there are any, are common to many STDs: discharge from penis or vagina and burning during urination. This makes Chlamydia especially difficult to catch. The good news is, it’s easily treated with antibiotics.

5. Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is another common sexually transmitted bacterial infection, and one of the most infectious. The disease can be transmitted through any sexual contact or oral-sexual contact with an infected partner. There are about 700,000 new infections of Gonorrhea each year. Like Chlamydia, there are often no symptoms or very mild symptoms with a gonorrheal infection, and these symptoms can be very similar to the symptoms of other common STDs. Many women even mistake Gonorrhea for a yeast infection.

Also like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea can cause serious and even fatal complications if it is ignored. In women, Gonorrhea is another common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. In men, Gonorrhea can lead to epididymitis, a painful infection of the ducts in the testicles, which can also lead to sterility. Fortunately, Gonorrhea is usually curable with antibiotics.

4. Herpes

This disease is a byword in STDs. There are between 500,000 and 1 million estimated new cases of Herpes (HSV-2) infection each year. The disease can be spread by intercourse as well as by MouthAction. The Herpes virus is characterized by small sores or lesions around the mouth (cold sores) and/or similar sores in the genital area. Herpes can also cause a variety of more or less serious secondary infections such as encephalitis and Herpes genital disease.

However, Herpes complications are generally mild. Most infected persons experience only a few outbreaks of the sores per year, and Herpes sores can be treated with topical creams and ointments or antiviral prescription medicine. The worst part of the disease is that it is incurable, and it can be transmitted even when there are no sores present.

3. Hepatitis

Of the three common strains of the Hepatitis virus (Hepatitis A, B, and C), only Hepatitis B and C are considered to be sexually transmitted diseases. Routine Hepatitis vaccinations for children have reduced the incidence of the disease in the U.S. to only about 60,000 cases per year for both strains. Hepatitis C is most commonly contracted from using “dirty” needles for drug injections, while Hepatitis B is transmitted through bodily fluids and blood like HIV (see below). Infection with Hepatitis can cause severe and deadly liver problems. so even though Hepatitis has been reduced to #3 on the most common STDs list, it is still one of the most dangerous.

2. HIV/AIDS

Contrary to what many believe, HIV is not one of the most common STDs out there. At 50,000 new cases per year, it only makes #9 on the list. However, HIV is incurable and eventually deadly. Even if it is not the most common STD, it is definitely one of the worst. The deadly effects of HIV and AIDS (as the disease progresses) come from its ability to attack and severely weaken the immune system, making the body more susceptible to other illnesses.

Another factor in the transmission of HIV is the pre-existence of another STD. People who already have another STD are much more likely to contract HIV. STDs that cause lesions or inflammation in the genitals provide a portal by which HIV can enter the body through blood, semen, or vaginal fluid. This is why protection during intercourse and regular testing for all STDs, not just HIV, are essential.

1. Syphilis

Last but not least, Syphilis barely makes the list of top 10 most common STDs at about 14,000 new infections per year. However, Syphilis is possibly the scariest STD on the list. The disease imitates so many symptoms of other diseases that it is difficult to diagnose, and during the third, latent stage of infection, the symptoms disappear. Syphilis can remain latent in the body for 10-20 years. Meanwhile, the virus attacks the internal organs, muscles, heart, brain, nerves, eyes, and joints, causing muscle spasms, loss of coordination, numbness, paralysis, brain damage, dementia, and finally death. All this damage can begin with a single small sore on the genitals called a chancre, which most people might not even notice.

Conclusion: To protect yourself against any and all STDs, always use protection during intercourse and other sexual activities. Get regular check-ups and get tested if you think you might have an STD. Lastly, the most recommended way to protect against STDs is to abstain from sex, or limit your number of sexual partners to one.

We’ve all been there: Sleeping with a seemingly great guy whose motives we can’t seem to figure out. Maybe he’s giving mixed signals or no signals at all. Either way, something in us makes us wonder if he’s in it just for sex. Well your first clue, should be your trusty gut, but maybe your gut isn’t so trusty because it is wrapped up in insecurity. In that case, here are eight more clues that may help you solve the mystery of whether your lover is interested in you as more than just a bedmate.

WARNING: The truth of these clues may sting, but better to know where you stand, than to lay down for too long with the wrong guy, right?

If your guy seems to always be MIA during the weekends, this is a clear sign that he is reserving weekends for someone else on his literal to-do list, or keeping his options open to meet other women. “When a girl is just a girl I’m into for sex, I’ll never ask her out on a weekend. Weekends are strictly reserved for A-listers

2. Sporadic contact

A guy who is really into you will communicate regularly. A guy who is in it to sex it, calls, texts, emails and pops-over only when he is feeling frisky and knows that you will indulge his desires. If the sight of your man’s name on your caller ID surprises you, chances are, this is a sex only situation.

3. Invitation to nowhere

He never invites you to go out with him – his friend’s birthday party, his work happy hour, not even a lackluster dinner and a movie. Bottom line: “Dates” are always cozy nights in. Why? Because that is the easiest place to, you guessed it… have sex.

4. Time’s up!

You spend just enough time together for a little pre-intimacy, sex and maybe a nap. Unless there’s time and desire for a round two, a sex-only motivated man will bolt like a thief in the night before you even have time to turn over on his side.

5. Late-night lovers

A sure in-it-for-the-sex-only sign is when your man only reaches out to you after hours, also known as a “booty-call”, when the day is done and quite possibly last call has been shouted. Although he coos for you sweetly on the other end of the phone, perhaps begging for your hot body, just know that you might be on a long list of lovelies, any of one of whom can satisfy his sexual cravings for the evening.

6. Tangoless texts

The sex-only guy is remorseless when it comes to leaving your texts unresponded to for hours – even days – and sometimes doesn’t respond at all… unless of course you are reaching out to setup a boudoir appointment. And in that case if his RSVP his positive, his reply back is immediate. Same goes for phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, tweets or any other form of communication.

7. Sexy speak

You two speak one language: Sex. And that’s it. If you think hard about it, you may know everything about how he likes “it” but you have no clue where his parents live, what he wanted to be when he grew up, the food that makes him gag, and if he has a middle name. There’s lots of moaning and groaning, but no chatter about work, family, friends, problems, triumphs, etc. Sam, 31, says, “A woman who presents herself as a sexual showpiece will be treated that way. Come to the table at the very beginning with more than just the ability to blow me away in the bedroom. Blow away my mind too and that way I’ll consider you relationship worthy. You don’t have to play like a virgin, you just need to offer more than T&A.”

8. Listen from the beginning

He told you straight up that he doesn’t want a girlfriend, doesn’t have time for a girlfriend, can’t deal with a girlfriend… and just wants to have casual fun. It is up to you if you want to listen… but remember, most guys don’t want to deliver news that women don’t want to hear unless they really mean it, “Know who you are and be in charge of what you want from the beginning. If you leave it up to me, then I’m probably going to go for what is easiest… and that’s never a relationship.”

Nigeria needs no fewer than 237,000 medical doctors to meet World Health Organisation (WHO) standard, a professor of medicine and chairman, Association of Colleges of Medicine of Nigeria, Folashade Ogunsola, has said.

Mrs. Ogunsola disclosed this at the opening of a three-day Capacity Development Programme for Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) Academic Staff in Nigerian Universities organised by National Universities Commission on Monday in Abuja.

According to her, WHO’s ratio for any country to have enough doctors for its population is 1:600 (one doctor of every 600 persons).

“We will need about 237, 000 medical doctors and we have about 35,000 working in the country today.

“We have trained more than that, many of them have left the country while many others are in different professions — banking, music and so on.

“Medicine is about life; it is the duty of the medical schools to produce people with competences; skills to manage patients.

“Assuming no doctor leaves this country after being trained; going by the number coming from our medical schools every year, it will take us about 100 years to have the number of doctors we need.’’

Mrs. Ogunsola, who lectures at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, said that aside that number, the quality of doctors was crucial.

According to her, medical schools have quotas at present — the number of students they can admit because they can only train with the facilities they have.

Lalasticlala can we get this to fp?

Men, your marriage is the best it can possibly be, right? Well, maybe. But if you’re like lots of couples, you find it all too easy to put everything and everyone else first and take each other for granted.

Unless you become aware of your own hurtful attitudes or actions — so that you can correct them — your chances of staying in love ’til death do you part are close to zero. Not to worry, though — you can easily get back on track by watching out for these 5 common mistakes:

1. You spend money without consulting your wife

Making big purchases such as buying a car without first consulting your wife is a huge no-no. Why? Consciously or unconsciously, men frequently assign themselves the leadership role in the relationship. That, too, is a mistake. A couple’s relationship is a shared leadership position.

2. Can a selfish lover return the favor?

In the bedroom, men forget – or, worse, haven’t figured out – that their wives often need more than they do to get turned on. Affection, making her feel loved and needed — that’s basic for her to feel aroused. Turning a woman on begins well before the lights go down. Men perceive sex as a sufficient means of being close, of having a connection. But women want a connection prior to having sex.

3. You’re hearing but you’re not listening

Listening does not mean nodding along as your wife explains what is bothering her, all the while thinking up ways to fix the problem. What she most often wants is to talk things out, and she wants you to be actively engaged in the conversation, not by trying to be the hero and save the day, but by demonstrating an interest in what she is saying and caring about what she is experiencing emotionally. This is not passive. Listening to establish a connection is an active process.

4. Keeping those feelings on lockdown

Listening to your wife talk about her feelings is essential. So is talking about your own. Many men, however, think they need to hide their feelings or risk being seen as weak. That’s a mistake. Not sharing your emotions can be a real downer for your wife. The woman feels like she’s missing a close connection that she wants with her husband. When he’s withdrawn, she feels like he is leaving her. Growing up, a man learns that he can’t let others know when he’s scared. But opening up is taking a risk, and that takes courage.

5. Going on a power trip.

Being a man does not mean being in charge – many men don’t get that. For instance, you may try to get what you want by being dominant. But it’s not about making demands or trying to overpower her. Women will pull away from that. The “power position” that men often put themselves in essentially negates the relationship, which must be reciprocal, supportive, and caring.

Cc Lalasticlala, ishilove1 over to you

A 15-year-old primary school leaver, names withheld, has pointed finger at her step grandfather, a chief and president-general of a community in Delta State for her four-month-old pregnancy. She told Niger Delta Voice that the husband of her grandmother slept with her in his two-bedroom domicile, an accusation the man hotly denied.

Handiwork of enemies— Chief

The chief said the entire episode was a set-up by his adversaries, alluding that following his disagreement with close relatives of the victim over his position and sales of land in the community, they swore to unseat him by any means. He said the 15-year-old girl was living with him from birth until the incident that led to her voluntary departure from his residence.

Pregnancy hatched in Egini !

The chief asserted: “This is an orchestrated plot to dent my image. As at the time they claimed she got pregnant, she had travelled to Egini to visit her mother; I suspect that was where she took in with the plot hatched there as well. “Even her grandmother has told the community that the girl does not know who is responsible for the pregnancy, but these group of individuals, are insisting that I am responsible.”

“Having taken care of this girl from her tender age all through her primary school till date where I have even made arrangement for her to get enlisted for her secondary education at Okpaka Secondary School, this is a case of my good being used against me,” he stated.

It happened in his bedroom, not Egini- Victim

Narrating her experience, the victim, who debunked his claim, said, “While I was at home alone with him, he invited me into his bedroom, he asked me if I have enough clothing, I said yes. He then told me that he does not see the clothes I claim to have on me. It was at this point that he started handling with me and insisted that I sleep with him after which he would give my grandmother money to get some new clothes.”

She denied having a boyfriend, saying her step- grandfather had sexual congress with her twice. Her words, “I am not aware of my condition after the act, my grandmother interrogated me some days later with questions like who have I been having sex with. After much pressure, I told her it was her husband.

“On that day, my grandmother had gone for church service, while the rest of the kids in the house had all gone to school. I was at home alone with him and when my grandmother was leaving for service, she instructed me prepare lunch before the kids return from school.”

Ikimi asks police to investigate

Meanwhile, a Warri- based human rights activist, Mr. Oghenejabor Ikimi, briefed by the family, had petitioned the police, calling for investigation into the matter.

Pregnancy/DNA tests

He said the chief suggested a pregnancy and DNA tests to ascertain the truthfulness and paternity of the child, but later reneged on the pretext that he had no money. According to him, “The victim is presently homeless, deprived of affectionate care by the accused in addition to the psychological trauma, pains and hardship she is undergoing.”

This is one of the side effects of cytotec(mitroposol)

A 25-year-old barber, Oluwaseun Ojo, was on Thursday remanded at the Olokuta Prisons by an Akure Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly killing his friend, Shola Omotayo, while arguing over the taste of noodles. The Magistrate, Mr Sunday Adedapo, ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody, pending legal advice from the state’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

NAN reports that Ojo, of No. 10, Familusi Gaga Area of Oke-Aro, Akure, is facing a one-count charge of murder. According to the Prosecutor, ASP Pelumi Adejuwon, the accused stabbed his friend with broken bottles on the chest and back, while arguing over the taste of noodles cooked by the deceased.
Adejuwon told the court that the action of the accused resulted to the sudden death of the victim, who lived together in the same room with the accused. He alleged that the accused committed the offence on Sept. 30 at about 8:00 p.m., at their residence.

The prosecutor said that the offence was contrary to Section 316 and punishable under Section 319 of the Criminal Code, Cap 37, Vol. 1, Laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006. The plea of the accused was, however, not taken as the chief magistrate noted that the court had no jurisdiction to hear the case. The case was, thereafter, adjourned till Nov. 26.
