sexy glow: Manners in every country are different; what is polite in China or Thailand may not be polite in the USA, Australia, UK, Germany, France, Canada, Nigeria or New Zealand. There are however basic rules you can follow and still fit in anywhere in the world.
Below are the basic rules you must follow while you dine:
1. Put the napkin on your lap.
2. Wait until everyone has been served to begin eating.
3. Everyone begins eating at the same time.
4. Do not make sounds when eating.
5. Sit up straight at the table and bring the food to your mouth: do not lean down to your plate.
6. Do not lean on your arm or elbow while eating (as well as before or after eating): you may rest only your hand and wrist on the edge of the table.
7. Try to be friendly with others. If you are a man, you should pay attention to ladies sitting closest to you. Pass the dishes to them, serve them, etc. Equal attention must be paid to children.
8. Hold the knife in your right hand, and fork – in your left hand.
9. Cut large pieces of meat, potatoes and vegetables into bite-size pieces; eat the pieces one at a time.
10. Each time you cut a small piece with the knife, put it into your mouth with a fork.
11. When eating spaghetti, hold your fork in the right hand. Wind the noodles up on your fork: the spaghetti on your fork should be eaten in one bite. It is very impolite to eat half your noodles and allow the other half to fall back on your plate.
12. While eating, remember not to talk with your mouth full of food.
13. When the hostess/host offers you food, give her/him a direct answer; if you refuse the first time, she might not ask you again.
14. At the table, ask others to pass you dishes that are out of your reach. Good _expression to know is: “Please pass me the___________.”
15. When you have finished your meal, place your knife and fork side by side on the plate.
16. Never use toothpick at the table: it is impolite.
17. Before you leave the table, refold your napkin and put it beside your plate.
18. When you are unsure what to do, observe the way your western friends eat in order to avoid mistakes.

Nigerian singer, Lanre Teriba, popularly known as Atorise, was shot in the leg in South Africa last week Friday.
MetroNews reported that the gospel singer was in South Africa with Dele Taiwo some days back for a Valentine show tagged ‘Praise Night concert in South Africa’.
Aproko247 learnt that the concert was held at West End Theater, G2 Entrance, Pretoria Show Ground, Pretoria West, on Friday, February 15.
Trouble started, as Aproko247 gathered, when some assailants attacked Atorise shortly after the show ended.
Valuable items like his Blackberry Porch, Ipad, gold wrist watch and some money were stolen from him while he got shot in the leg by the unknown gunmen.
He has since recovered from the wound sustained from the gunshot after he was treated at a nearby hospital in Pretoria.
Aproko247 contacted some sources close to Atorise who confirmed the story to us.
The singer is said to be prepared to perform on Saturday (today) night at an event tagged ‘Praise Night 2′ which will take place at Luli Luli Hotel, Portgieter street, Pretoria, South Africa, alongside Dele Taiwo.

jmoore:T.A. Orji Is Like Nelson Mandela Says Abia State Commissioner
The Abia state commissioner of information said that T.A. Orji is to Abia state what Nelson Mandela is to South Africa. He said this on radio describing T.A.Orji as a liberator of the people of Abia state. He blamed the current condition of the state on the former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu and his mother who held the state under spell. The commissioner said what T.A.Orji is doing now is laying a good foundation for future governors of the state.
Listening to this commissioner comparing T.A.Orji to Mandela was like a big insult to the people of South Africa and those who know the life of Nelson Mandela. What did T.A.Orji achieve in his first term? F9 Laying good foundation? Everytime a governor comes in he/she will start a new foundation..smh
