Culture / Feminism Needs Men by sabinewsmedia: 12:41pm On Dec 03, 2018
Dismissing the other side entirely won’t mitigate the problem.

The move for the advancement of feminism as with any cultural paradigm shift happens, and is consensual. It works with an agreement and acknowledgement on both sides of the argument.

Adapting a culture of dismissing the other side completely, disregarding any opportunity for assimilation, is to eliminate a problem with a short-sighted solution rather than taking a holistic approach towards raising awareness and forming a society where both sides coexist in developing a sense of humility and kindness.

Due to years of brutal oppression at the hands of men, there is an understandable lack of trust. I am certain it is empowering for women to finally have a say. This is mostly because of the atrocities they’ve suffered at the hands of the opposing gender.

An extreme defiance born out of dividing genders won’t lead to assimilation. It would lead to further division and dismissive behavior due to lack of understanding. As well as the will to educate the future in understanding the problem.

To bring justice and awareness to the issues women face is crucial, but dismissing men entirely will not help.

Further adversity.
As history has shown us many a times—hatred only breeds further hatred.

Feminism is not a cancer, but it’s starting to appear as such to many men.

Women revel in the fact that men are finally being held accountable. And now there are men who are too scared to even voice their opinion. They reserve their opinion out of fear of being misunderstood.

The term “triggered” has started to circulate amongst men. Men feel anything they say will upset the opposing gender. When in fact, maybe the more eloquent solution is to have a non-confrontational conversation.

It’s not easy, of course, how could it be? The very fabric of trust has been shredded, and the animosity is more prevalent than it was before.

Men won’t try to understand a problem if women are unwilling to explain it.

We know we’ve done wrong, but much like prison, castrating rather than rehabilitating, will only result in a further vile reaction.

Men will start to walk away while being silent, in fear of being misunderstood.
Good men will be shamed for standing beside women; because being a feminist as a man, is now labelled as being a “Soy-Boy” by men who are too afraid to acknowledge the problems at hand.

Women have suffered atrocities that countless men can’t relate to, probably won’t want to relate to. This is because it’s too damn hard to get a man to admit he acted like a “predator”.

It’s much easier to label people.

Men will label feminists who they do not wish to understand as “lunatics”.

Women who wish to dismiss all men entirely in the name of feminism will label them as “sexists”.

Nobody likes to listen to an individual who shouts, “ME ME ME ME ME!”.

Ever wonder why individuals who have been convicted of a crime fall back into criminal behaviour? They do this rather than seek remorse and penance.

Because they aren’t rehabilitated and aren’t “welcome” back into a society where they wish to accomplish “change”.

Nobody wants to a hire a criminal, and nobody wants to give them a second chance.

They’re not allowed an opportunity to assimilate.
They’re dismissed.

Forgotten of.

Not worthy of a second look.

So they believe what they’ve been told all their life. The simple philosophy “If society expects nothing better of me, maybe that’s the best I can be”.

Learned helplessness, a culture where one will only view themselves as to how society presents them to be.
You grow up in a culture of violence, you inhibit the same qualities — because that’s all you know, and that’s the only language you’ve been taught in order to communicate, in order to get a message across.

You become a product of your environment rather than seeking a vision outside of it, one of acceptance and one without judgement.

Why was it that “International Men’s Day” became a joke rather than a day where everyone openly talks about “Mental Health and Suicide Rate” amongst men?

And why was it easier to say “Every day is international men’s day”? In fact why not just acknowledge “Not all men are predators, but sure a lot of them seem to be”?

Why was it that women developed a narrative of “If you’re not with us, you’re against us”.  It could have been “If you’re not with us, we’d wish you could at least listen to us”?

It’s too damn hard. And it’s difficult to communicate. Because it’s easier to target a narrative rather than the root cause of the problem.

Because it was easier to be told, you just don’t matter anymore. It was easier to be told, stop whining. It is indeed a great time for men to be afraid.

Rather than acknowledge the cold truth that we are at fault on both sides. And that there’s a balance that we wish to attain whilst not being authoritative about it.

Because it’s just a lot easier to be dismissive, rather than keep an open mind with the aim to educate.

Politics / Fellow Nigerians, Leave Jubril Alone And Focus by sabinewsmedia: 9:11am On Nov 21, 2018
Dear Nigerians,

Can i have your attention here, please?

Okay, now that we are together, let me make this clear.

You see this ‘Jubril from Sudan’ matter, if you are among those with even a smidgen of education – both formal and informal, that are now beginning to express some doubts as to if the person in Aso Rock is really President Muhammadu Buhari or a really expensive body double from Sudan, then permit me to inform you that you are part of the problem Nigeria has at the moment.

ALSO READ: Dear President Trump, How dare you call our President “lifeless”? – Viola Okolie

I must confess that I have easily profiled EVERYBODY who mouthed that assertion some time back and wondered if they couldn’t just focus on pertinent issues. But with what I can see now, the more than propaganda is left to continue to take hold, the more it runs wild. When this version of Jubril as postulated by Nnamdi Kanu resurfaced after a year and some weeks of total blackout, I was one of the first to declare that he is back on an obstruction mission. He is back to play distraction politics, the aim of which is not to openly campaign for Buhari, but to use the tool of ‘no elections’ to ensure mass boycott of the polls, inadvertently handing over a second term to Buhari.

We waited long and hard about that and the initial ‘no election’ stance was quickly abandoned for this present one that seems aimed at convincing us that President Buhari died in a London hospital and was replaced by a very expensive body double from Sudan. Everyone on social media is slowly getting used to all the ‘evidence’ and pictures surfacing from the stables of Radio Biafra, all of which have pictures of Buhari with circles around any and every part of his anatomy that catches the fancy of the originator of the memes.



Heights are compared.

Shape of nose is compared.

Ears are compared.

Stance is compared, you name it.

The questions on my mind have been: Are we insinuating that perhaps the mismanagement of the economy, bad governance experienced on a wide scale are the handiworks of a certain Jubril? What of turning a blind eye to the incessant killings by ‘Fulani Herdsmen”, opting, instead, to arrest locals that try to defend themselves or prevent an invasion in the first instance, also attributed to Jubril from Sudan? Do we also say that the myriads of other ills that the country is reeling under are taking place because it is not Buhari at the helm of affairs but a body double from Sudan?

Distraction politics.

ALSO READ: Dear President Buhari, where are you running to? – Viola Okolie

How else can we begin to describe this to the increasing horde of hitherto rational humans that are now circulating hilarious memes with red arrows and circles covering the surface, all aiming to validate the existence of this body double? How do we ask you to stop and think? How do we tell you that these Jubril talk, barely three months to what history will note to be the most keenly contested elections in the history of Nigerian politics, is nothing but mere politics of distraction?

Should it even matter to us whether Buhari’s right ear in the ‘before’ meme matches the right ear in the ‘after’ meme? What should matter is whether the ear is deaf to the cries of the average Nigerian. So now, rather than chase after the main issues in the run up to the elections, we are chasing after Buhari’s ear shape, size and any notable defects!

ALSO READ: A love letter to President Buhari – Viola Okolie

Once again, I ask people to pause and think: where has Nnamdi Kanu been all these while? The last we saw of him, he was reportedly dodging a hail of bullets from the heavily armed Nigerian Army who had invaded his father’s palace in Afaraukwu. At that point in time, the most arms that Kanu and his people had were batons, tracts, and ‘bad mouth’. This was the arsenal they had to defend themselves with against armored tanks, tear gas and a hail of bullets.


RIP Jack the Dog.

After that, nothing was heard from Brother Kanu and his parents until Atiku Abubakar won the PDP presidential primaries. Again, this win was dismissed with the hope that Atiku would pick as his running mate, a South Westerner or a deeply flawed South Easterner. It was believed that the South East abhorrence of Buhari would deter them from ever voting for a Hausa-Fulani man in 2019, so it would be an easy coast to victory for the incumbent. That calculation held true until the master-stroke of a Peter Obi VP card was played with the subsequent groundswell of support for that choice.

If you all recall, whether the All Progressives Congress’ primaries held or not, no one knows or can remember any of the details. The real and virtual supporters of the party spent all their time ‘punditing’ for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and analyzing the PDP’s actions and choices.

Until the Peter Obi joker was played.

Enter Nnamdi Kanu to distract the now-focused Igbo Youth.

What is at stake, you ask?

Well, I don’t know. Perhaps if we know where Nnamdi Kanu’s parents are at the moment, we could eliminate them from the potential pawns being held up to force him to play this distraction politics.

Conspiracy theories?

*shrugs*

What is the ‘Jubril from Sudan’ angle, if not a very wild conspiracy theory designed to deflect attention from the more serious issues in the run up to the elections? I believe that Nnamdi Kanu is being blackmailed or paid off to distract the South Easterners from participating in the elections. When he tried the ‘no election’ tactics, a lot of voices rose against that and he has backed down.

ALSO READ: #BuhariTillInfinity – Viola Okolie

Now, the focus is on ensuring that Nigerians – a disappointing number of Nigerians – leave the meat of the issues and focus on drawing circles around pictures taken in poor lighting.

Snap out of it, people.

Listen up: whether it is Jubril from Sudan, Hotep from Egypt, or Haile Selassie from Ethiopia, the most important point is that Nigerians are more interested in enjoying the dividends of democracy and good governance.

For now, focus.

Stop drawing circles and arrows and circulating funny ‘evidence’ pictures of a body double from Sudan.

Romance / Love Zone, Sabinews: Guys, These 4 Common Sex Positions Are Dangerous For You by sabinewsmedia: 4:18pm On Nov 12, 2018
Sex is supposed to be fun and there are [plenty of ways to spice up your sex life] and one of them is to try out new positions.

However, there are common positions that can turn out to be dangerous and capable of injuring your penis if not done with caution.

A penile injury is a medical emergency that afflicts the penis and common injuries include fracture, avulsion, strangulation, entrapment, and amputation.

And dangerous sex positions can lead to penile injury. A team of researchers in the United States who studied the most harmful type of sex positions that can cause penile fractures amongst men concluded that some very common sex positions which we often take for granted can lead to it.

The work published in the Journal of Impotence Research actually put the very popular doggy style at the top of the list, with 41 percent chances of causing penile fractures.

What this means is that during the moment of heat and passion, it is possible that the male penis can break, causing trauma and a lot of pain.

A common mistake many people make is assuming the penis has a bone that cannot be broken. This, however, is incorrect because it can still be left feeling *'broken',* particularly if it hits the woman’s pelvic bone whilst having intense sex.

![|300x300](https://www.sabinews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Love-Zone-2-300x300.jpg)

For the study, 90 men between the ages of 18 and 66 with a penile fracture were assessed by the scientists with the researchers studying different positions and mechanisms behind the injury, including masturbation or penile manipulation, the missionary position, doggy style, and the woman on top during sexual intercourse.

The missionary position came in second place, even though it may not be as complicated as other toe-touching and twisting Kama Sutra-like positions.

Still, it turns out it can be a bit risky if you’re not careful. The researchers noted that both the doggy-style and missionary positions have *'more associations with bilateral fractures of the corpus cavernosum and urethral lesions'* than the woman on top.

The woman on top came in as the third most dangerous type of sexual position. The researchers noted that though there was no clear observable difference between the severity of the penile fracture between the ‘doggy style’ and 'man-on-top’, the 'doggy style' had more severity of penile fracture when compared with 'woman-on-top.'

So here is what they came up with as the most dangerous sex positions that can cause penis injuries during sex.

**1. Doggy style**
The doggy style is about the most popular sex position especially with the pleasure it brings to lovers but it is also a very dangerous position if things get out of hand.

According to physical therapist Kristi Latham, the founder of Beyond Therapy and Wellness, a forceful hit could result in an injury especially if the penis hits the pelvic bone of the woman and this could lead to penile injury.

Additionally, doggy style and its many other variants can also cause things to enter places that weren’t ready for them.

**2. Woman on top**
The woman on top position may be the most preferable position for most women who want to have an intense orgasm during sex but this sex position that puts most men’s joysticks in danger.

This is because sometimes, there’s not[ enough lubrication when the woman is on top,] making penetration sore. The force of the thrust can also lead to injury.

When a woman is on top, she usually controls her movement with her entire body weight, which can also be dangerous is not done right.

**3. Missionary position**

Even the most boring position could leave a man with the most horrific penile injury. According to an article on NZ Herald, researchers noted how 21 percent of penile fractures occurred when the man was trying to climax while on top of his woman.

When in complete control of the speed and power of each thrust, this can lead to a man hitting the pelvic bone without intending to.

**4. Reverse cowgirl**
You’re sitting on top of him and leaning back with your hands on his chest instead of leaning forward, and this can be dangerous.

A study from the US National Center for Biotechnology Information states that like an elbow or knee, the erect penis can be hyper-extended if you put too much or frequent downward pressure on the shaft.

Sports / Fans Call Bayern’s Halloween Photograph Racially Insensitive by sabinewsmedia: 4:52pm On Nov 02, 2018
Bayern Munich has been called racially insensitive after it tweeted a photograph of some of its players celebrating the Halloween in expectedly outrages costumes.

In the photo, one player appears to be wearing traditional Arab attire and is holding a box that looks like a package bomb, with caution stickers and wires coming out of it.

The individual turned out to be Brazilian national Márcio Rafael Ferreira de Souza – otherwise known as ‘Rafinha’- who has since tendered an apology on his official Twitter Account.

‘Halloween is a scary celebration with exaggerated costumes, it was not my intention to anger anyone through my disguise or hurt someone’s feelings,' tweeted Rafinha.






The Bundesliga club quickly deleted the photo, but not before a number of Twitter users had accused Bayern of racism, with one saying: ‘Seriously?... someone dressed up as BOMBER(?).’

Another wrote: ‘This is sick ... not all Arabs bombers, it looks funny for you but you don't know how you are affecting others.’







One Twitter user referenced a 2017 attack on another Bundesliga club, saying: ‘Just imagine if somebody dressed up as a German determined to bomb a bus full of star German soccer players. Which is a thing that actually happened like 18 months ago.’

Borussia Dortmund's team bus was attacked after a German-Russian citizen allegedly planted a bomb at the side of the road.

Only three months ago, Mesut Ozil quit the German national team over what he said was racist treatment from the media and the president of Germany's football federation (DFB) Reinhard Grindel.

‘[I] will no longer be playing for Germany ... whilst I have this feeling of racism and disrespect,’ he said.

Grindel admitted the organization could have handled the situation with the Arsenal player better even though he disagreed with the accusation of racism.

‘Of course, I have been asking myself what I could have done differently,’ said Grindel in the statement.

‘Looking back, I should have clearly stated what is unquestionable both for me and the association: that racist hostility in any form is unacceptable, intolerable and insufferable.’

In August, Germany coach Joachim Loew said: ‘Nowhere within my team during my time here, there has been not even a hint of racism.’



The dominant force in German football, Bayern have won six consecutive Bundesliga titles, though this season after an uncertain start lies second with 19 points from 9 games, two points behind Dortmund.

Business / China Is Stealing More Than $10BN From Microsoft – CEO by sabinewsmedia: 4:17pm On Nov 02, 2018
BUSINESS - Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said 90 percent of companies in China are using the Microsoft operating system, though only 1 percent are actually paying for it. Ballmer says this is theft, and has to end.
Ballmer said in an interview, “I’m a free trader, by nature. I went to the school of economics – it’s the best thing for the world. This one’s a tricky issue because it’s absolutely clear that the rules don’t apply in China, and the U.S. government needs to do something.”

The theft, as enunciated by Ballmer, is a foreign policy issue. But not just that, it impacts investors as well. He added, “Without any pressure from the U.S. government – we are talking about $10 billion plus, for example, in Microsoft that would go into profit.”

Microsoft has been doing business with China for more than 25 years, long before the tit-for-tat tariff fight – led by President Trump – exploded.

Trump tweeted on Thursday that he spoke with Chinese Xi Jinping, calling it “a long and very good conversation.”

“Just had a long and very good conversation with President Xi Jinping of China,” he wrote. “We talked about many subjects, with a heavy emphasis on Trade. Those discussions are moving along nicely with meetings being scheduled at the G-20 in Argentina. Also had good discussion on North Korea!”

Ballmer, however, who stepped down as CEO in 2014, is unsure whether tariffs are the best way to handle the theft. China is the world’s second largest economy behind the U.S.

Romance / Love Zone: Crazy Sex Positions To Spice Up Your Weekend by sabinewsmedia: 4:05pm On Nov 02, 2018
Just about every person in the world likes good sex and if most people will have their ways, they could just skip the whole work thing and spend the whole time in bed having sex and exploring all types of positions.
But then, with a 24/7 sex schedule, variety becomes of paramount importance here. Fortunately, there are a thousand and one positions you and your partner try out this weekend if you want to experience the bang and out-of-this-world-sex you have always been dreaming of.


To make them easier to imitate, and to jumpstart your imagination, we've carefully selected these crazy sex positions you can try out this weekend; from the position that starts with the slow and steady grind to the fast and furious, these are positions that will bring out the best in your love (and) sex life.

ALSO READ: "Love Zone: 10 incredible sex tips to spice up your weekend"

Here we go:
1. Missionary Sex Position
The Missionary position (man on top, the couple facing each other) is the most famous and classic of all sex positions. The eye contact, the mild male dominance and the angle of penetration make this a popular one, and odds are, you will feel so much connection with your partner.
The Missionary is a very comfortable position that allows for easy thrusting, and an easy pull-out if you’re a man and there are plenty of benefits to it.
It works its way into basically any sexual encounter you find yourself in, at some point.


2. Coital Alignment Position
This is a spin on Missionary, and is fondly called the Frog or the Perfect Position and looks to sacrifice elevation and power for proper positioning. Here, you start in the regular Missionary, and then flatten your torso as much possible, while your partner should arch her legs and put her legs on your butt.
What you're doing here is targeting the clitoris for more direct rubbing and friction. The pressure you put on her clitoris could help her get to orgasm quicker. You should also be staying nice and deep within her in this position, too, to ensure maximum. In other words, it's more for her pleasure than yours.


3. Legs On Shoulders
Another classic take on the Missionary, Leg on Shoulder position can either be done with you lying down on top of her, or with her positioned at the edge of the bed and with you in standing (or more accurately leaning in) with her legs on your shoulders as you penetrate her.
This position gives the man all of the control of penetration, but it will also allow for deeper penetration, so it’s a win-win. You may need to grasp her legs and pull in gently to prevent your thrusting from pushing her away from you.


4. The Pancake
This one is an extreme variant of the Legs On Shoulders position and really puts you in the driver's seat. Start with your torso more or less vertical and her legs on your shoulders.
Descend slowly until you're basically folding her in half. For more leverage, you can reach around her back with your arms and pull her tightly against you. This one is very intimate, but it also gives her very little mobility, so it's basically you who is 100% in charge of the thrusting.
The pressure you're putting on her muscles can also create a tightness in her pelvis, leading to an increased tighter feel for you. You should make sure she's flexible enough to pull this one off – many women aren't – and keep in mind you'll probably be able to pull this off for just a few minutes.


5.  Standing Sex
Bro, do you even lift your partner up to have sex with her? Grab her thighs and then have her wrap her legs around you while hanging off your shoulders with her arms. Make sure you're strong enough to pull this one off, and then penetrate her.
You'll probably have to lift her up higher and then slowly lower her onto your penis. We'd add a pretty big note of caution here: make sure you have a very firm grip and take this slowly and safely, as there is the potential for injury here if you drop your partner – ouch.


6. The Viennese Oyster
The Viennese Oyster requires she places both of her ankles behind her head, fully exposing her vulva and folding her body into the shape of an oyster. You hold her ankles in place while she uses her free hands to prevent your body weight from crushing her contorted body. This is great for extra-deep penetration.


7. Spread Eagle
This one is not for beginners, as it requires a little light bondage. But if you're exploring kinkier options with your partner, this is a great option that allows you to take a more dominant role while still offering both of you a lot of intimacy.
With your partner on her back, have her spread her legs wide apart and you will be in for total control in a very steamy, powerful romp.


8. Doggy-Style
Doggy-Style is one of the favoured sex positions of millions of people for a few reasons. It’s the classic female submissive position and really lets the man be in control, and there’s more than a few variations to it.

ALSO READ: "Love Zone: This is why sex is very important in your marriage"

In its simplest form, you kneel on the bed, with your partner on all fours. Enter her from behind, and hold onto her hips and/or torso.



You can decide to go slow or hard. If you want to add some roughness, and your partner is into that, this position is solid for pulling on hair or spanking as well, to add to the general submissiveness of the position.
If you have a free hand, a clitoral reach-around or playing with her breasts can add extra stimulation to the position.
To be continued next week.

Romance / This Is Why Sex Is Very Important In Your Marriage by sabinewsmedia: 2:08pm On Nov 01, 2018
sabinewsmedia:
Most women tend to think that once they are married and have children, sex is automatically thrown out of the marriage because they are irreplaceable.
These set of women erroneously believe that sex is all about procreation and nothing more and as such, they do not look at the importance of sex in their marriage, after all, they are now implanted in the home and nothing can move them.
But when their husbands begin to stray because the sex at home is bad, they will blame everything but themselves. In most cases, some men stray because they are either starved of sex by their wives or the sex is bad.

ALSO READ: "Love Zone: 10 incredible sex tips to spice up your weekend"

Some people say sex is overrated, and others believe otherwise. But in reality, sex can really help you beyond just your bedroom.
Whether we like it or not, sex is very important in a marriage and there are great benefits a fulfilling sex life creates in a marriage.
So what are the benefits of sex to your husband and marriage?
1. Sex makes your husband feel loved and desired
A man who is sexually satisfied by his wife feels loved and desired and as such, puts in more effort to make his marriage work.
Satisfying him is a way of telling your husband that he is the most important thing in your life and this creates a feeling of total and absolute intimacy and bonding. If you make sex a priority in your marriage, your husband will feel honoured and will know that he is your number one priority.
Sex is a form of communication that speaks more forcefully, with less room for misinterpretation, than any other. The reason why this message is needed is that many men seem to live with a deep sense of loneliness that is quite foreign to women.
And making love is the purest salve for that loneliness.
Deep down, a man really does feel isolated, even with his wife. But in making love, there is one other person in this world that he can be completely vulnerable with and be totally accepted and non-judged. It is a solace that goes very deep into the heart of a man.
This is one reason why some men may make advances at times that seem the furthest from sexual.
2. Sex gives him confidence
Men are very conscious of their emotions and they need reassurances every now and then. In fact, your desire for him goes beyond making him feel wanted and loved.
Your desire is a bedrock form of support that gives him the power to face the rest of his daily life with a sense of confidence and well-being.
Every man understands that sex makes him feel good about himself. He is more confident and alive when his sex life is working.
Men feel better when they got more sex, and they are also physically better. What happens in the bedroom really does affect how they feel the next day at the office.

Sex is a release of the day-to-day pressures and seems to make everything else better.
3. Sex makes him feel restored
Having sex with a loved one is one of the best ways to get a good night’s sleep. But did you know that a good round of making out in bed can restore your man's energy levels on days when he is feeling low?
Did you know that lovemaking is nature’s best medicine against depression? And did you know that men enjoy sex because it re-energizes them physically, and women enjoy having sex because it re-energizes them emotionally?
Did you know that all extremely intelligent or creative people have had extremely active banging lives?
Then you would know that you are also helping your man to be active and ready to move the mountain for you and the family.
4. Lack of sex can send him into depression
If your sexual desire gives your husband a sense of well-being and confidence, you can understand why an ongoing perception that you don’t desire him would translate into a nagging lack of confidence, withdrawal, and depression.
A man can’t just turn off the physical and emotional importance of sex, which is why its lack can be compared to the emotional pain you’d feel if your husband simply stopped talking to you.
If you deny your husband sex without any cogent reason, he feels deeply hurt. He will feel rejected, ineligible, insignificant, lonely, isolated, and abandoned as a result.
If you view sex as a purely physical need, it might indeed seem comparable to sleep. But once you realize that your man is actually saying, 'this is essential to my feeling of being loved and desired by you, and is critical to counteract my stress, my fears, and my loneliness,' well, that suddenly puts it in a different category.

5. Make sex a priority in your marriage
Are the many things that take your time and energy truly as important as having sex with your husband? Now would be a good time to re-evaluate priorities and put sex at the very top of it.

If your husband is satisfied with your sex life, he will also make you his top priority.
Think about it; having great sex feels awesome and makes you and your husband feel all warm and fuzzy. And as a matter of fact, sex is pretty important in a relationship for a lot of other reasons too.

Did you know that lovemaking is nature’s best medicine against depression? And did you know that men enjoy sex because it re-energizes them physically, and women enjoy having sex because it re-energizes them emotionally?
Did you know that all extremely intelligent or creative people have had extremely active banging lives?
Then you would know that you are also helping your man to be active and ready to move the mountain for you and the family.
4. Lack of sex can send him into depression
If your sexual desire gives your husband a sense of well-being and confidence, you can understand why an ongoing perception that you don’t desire him would translate into a nagging lack of confidence, withdrawal, and depression.
A man can’t just turn off the physical and emotional importance of sex, which is why its lack can be compared to the emotional pain you’d feel if your husband simply stopped talking to you.
If you deny your husband sex without any cogent reason, he feels deeply hurt. He will feel rejected, ineligible, insignificant, lonely, isolated, and abandoned as a result.
If you view sex as a purely physical need, it might indeed seem comparable to sleep. But once you realize that your man is actually saying, 'this is essential to my feeling of being loved and desired by you, and is critical to counteract my stress, my fears, and my loneliness,' well, that suddenly puts it in a different category.

5. Make sex a priority in your marriage
Are the many things that take your time and energy truly as important as having sex with your husband? Now would be a good time to re-evaluate priorities and put sex at the very top of it.

If your husband is satisfied with your sex life, he will also make you his top priority.
Think about it; having great sex feels awesome and makes you and your husband feel all warm and fuzzy. And as a matter of fact, sex is pretty important in a relationship for a lot of other reasons too.
are married and have children, sex is automatically thrown out of the marriage because they are irreplaceable.
These set of women erroneously believe that sex is all about procreation and nothing more and as such, they do not look at the importance of sex in their marriage, after all, they are now implanted in the home and nothing can move them.
But when their husbands begin to stray because the sex at home is bad, they will blame everything but themselves. In most cases, some men stray because they are either starved of sex by their wives or the sex is bad.

Some people say sex is overrated, and others believe otherwise. But in reality, sex can really help you beyond just your bedroom.
Whether we like it or not, sex is very important in a marriage and there are great benefits a fulfilling sex life creates in a marriage.
So what are the benefits of sex to your husband and marriage?
1. Sex makes your husband feel loved and desired
A man who is sexually satisfied by his wife feels loved and desired and as such, puts in more effort to make his marriage work.
Satisfying him is a way of telling your husband that he is the most important thing in your life and this creates a feeling of total and absolute intimacy and bonding. If you make sex a priority in your marriage, your husband will feel honoured and will know that he is your number one priority.
Sex is a form of communication that speaks more forcefully, with less room for misinterpretation, than any other. The reason why this message is needed is that many men seem to live with a deep sense of loneliness that is quite foreign to women.
And making love is the purest salve for that loneliness.
Deep down, a man really does feel isolated, even with his wife. But in making love, there is one other person in this world that he can be completely vulnerable with and be totally accepted and non-judged. It is a solace that goes very deep into the heart of a man.
This is one reason why some men may make advances at times that seem the furthest from sexual.
2. Sex gives him confidence
Men are very conscious of their emotions and they need reassurances every now and then. In fact, your desire for him goes beyond making him feel wanted and loved.
Your desire is a bedrock form of support that gives him the power to face the rest of his daily life with a sense of confidence and well-being.
Every man understands that sex makes him feel good about himself. He is more confident and alive when his sex life is working.
Men feel better when they got more sex, and they are also physically better. What happens in the bedroom really does affect how they feel the next day at the office.

Sex is a release of the day-to-day pressures and seems to make everything else better.
3. Sex makes him feel restored
Having sex with a loved one is one of the best ways to get a good night’s sleep. But did you know that a good round of making out in bed can restore your man's energy levels on days when he is feeling low?
Did you know that lovemaking is nature’s best medicine against depression? And did you know that men enjoy sex because it re-energizes them physically, and women enjoy having sex because it re-energizes them emotionally?

Business / Super Mario Party Enjoys Impressive Sales Success, Reports Show by sabinewsmedia: 3:41pm On Oct 31, 2018
Nintendo's second quarter for 2019 financial briefing has confirmed the Super Mario Party sold a total of 1.5 million copies in the month of October. That’s in line with early reports the new switch title performed impressively.

The new game returns back to the basics of the original Super Mario game that stoked the passions and won the patronage of many game lovers, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said. Furukawa also stated that the game channels the same series’ roots and provides less complicated game mechanics. He also noted how the Super Mario Party was a ‘finished’ game with wide appeal:

‘It is a title packed with gameplay enjoyable by all, and that speaks to the ‘play anytime, anywhere, with anyone’ concept of Nintendo Switch. It is a finished game with an appeal that is immediately apparent, and a game that everyone from regular gamers to newbies can enjoy playing together. We expect it to become an evergreen title for scenarios like parties where people come together.’

Furukawa went on to reiterate how the series had an extremely strong start compared to previous installments and had built up plenty of momentum ahead of the holiday season. He also confirmed Joy-Con sales had increased because of the release of this title, following reports of shortages on select websites.

‘The good evaluations by consumers have been borne out by the recent sell-through. Global sell-through has exceeded 1.5 million units following its release on October 5. Super Mario Party had an extremely strong start compared to other installments in the series and has built up momentum ahead of the holiday season. We are also seeing an increase in Joy-Con sell-through with the release of this title.’

It’s unsurprising the success of the iconic game, as it is for many a walk down memory lane aided by current game technologies and crisp playing experience.

Health / Coca-cola CEO Dismisses Cannabis Infusion by sabinewsmedia: 2:45pm On Oct 31, 2018
BUSINESS - Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey, on the matter of CBD, has dismissed rumors that the beverage giant is mulling an entrance into the legal cannabis industry. He unequivocally made this stance despite other beverage brands having explored cannabidiol (CBD)-infused drinks.
Quincey said, “We don’t have any plans at this stage to get into the space. So that’s kind of where we are.”

The global demand for products containing CBD, a non-psychoactive compound in marijuana, has grown in recent years. This is amid pushes in various jurisdictions to legalize pot. Sales of CBD products are projected to surpass $1 billion in 2018, according to the Hemp Business Journal.

Last September, Coca-Cola was reportedly in talks with Aurora Cannabis, a Canada-based marijuana company. Reports claimed they were about to develop a CBD-infused beverage. At the time, Coca-Cola said it was closely monitoring the growth of non-psychoactive CBD. Coca-Cola had intended this as an ingredient in functional wellness beverage around the world. No decisions were made on whether to partner with Aurora.

Politics / Shi'ite Protests: What Really Happened - IMN by sabinewsmedia: 2:30pm On Oct 31, 2018
The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) has released a statement on Tuesday explaining the peaceful nature of their protests before operatives of the Nigerian Army interfered by opening fire into its members injuring many people in the process.

A senior member of the IMN's media forum, Shuaibu Musa, said this yesterday during a media interview and he also accused the Federal Government of deceiving the populace by peddling false narratives of the confrontation.

He said: “The claims that we are moving around with weapons are unsubstantiated. All the marches we have done previously without army or police interference have always ended up peacefully. The question to ask is: who have we ever attacked?

“Let me tell you in Abuja we held a daily sit-out for over a hundred days and nobody was hurt until they (security agents) came and attacked us.

“What is confrontational about a group of people that would come out en masse with their children, women and even their disabled to make their voices heard?

"What is confrontational in the way we have conducted ourselves even in the face of severe provocation. We have never blocked any route.

“We don’t participate in the so-called ethnic and religious confrontations that have been taking place all over the country. Anybody that has stayed in Kaduna will tell you that the homes of IMN Sheikhs and Imams are the abode of safety for all during these crises.

“Have we ever disobeyed any constituted authority? Have we ever been arrested, charged to court and found guilty of disobedience to constituted authorities?

"Some say we kill people but have any Shiite been convicted of murder in this country? They (government) just talk to curry sympathy while instigating public anger against us for nothing.”

On the reluctance of the sect to seek and obtain police permission before staging it protest marches, Musa said: “This issue has been debated even before the Supreme Court. We do not require any police permission to any procession.

“We are not saying everybody must agree with our ways of doing things but we must not also be prevented from doing things our way as long as we have not harmed anyone."

Musa also shed some light about the violence that happened after the procession in Zuban and other suburbs of Abuja.

“As we speak, we have 17 people confirmed killed in Abuja on Monday. Last Saturday, we had six dead bodies from the Zuba Killings. They (security agents) are liars.

Some of the bodies the army took away were dumped with the police and we have recovered them. By the time, we will be doing the burials; you will see that the dead were real individuals and citizens.

“They (security agents) killed and then dragged the corpses. There are video clips that showed the soldiers were shooting and dragging the corpses and even preventing people from getting medical attention.

After our protest marches, we take time to do a census of our members. We have the names and addresses of every person that has lost his life.

“The 2018 Arbaeen trek ends today (Tuesday) but note that we have also been carrying out the ‘Free Zakzaky’ rallies and campaigns. We will continue to do that not only in Abuja but everywhere.

“However, in the nation’s capital, the Arbaeen trek started about two years ago almost unnoticed because we were not attacked. We thank FCT residents for the support they have given us all these while not only during this Arbaeen trek but also in our struggle to get Sheikh out of detention.

“But we must remind them that the government is not sincere. A government that cannot protect the people when terrorists are shooting innocent citizens is today fighting and killing unarmed Shiites.

Some people are very unfair to us simply because they do not like the way we do some of our religious practices. When they shoot in public, bullets do not know IMN members.”

Health / How Rape Victims In Mauritania Are Jailed For Getting Pregnant - Report by sabinewsmedia: 1:27pm On Oct 31, 2018
Women raped in Mauritania are discouraged from reporting the crime because they themselves can be jailed for having sex outside of marriage, a rights group said on Wednesday.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) interviewed five women and girls who were prosecuted for “zina” - sex outside of marriage - after reporting sexual assault, including a 15-year-old girl who had been gang-raped and was sent to prison, it said in a report.

Mauritania’s government spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. In a written response to HRW, the government said incidents of sexual assault are investigated by the judicial police, with almost 900 cases recorded since 2014.

HRW’s findings come as Mauritania awaits the results of legislative elections, which activists say offer parliament a fresh chance to pass a draft law on gender-based violence that would increase support for rape victims.

“Despite the difficult picture at the moment ... there is an opportunity for change,” HRW researcher Candy Ofime told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

The law has been pending before parliament for two years.

https://www.sabinews.com/how-rape-victims-in-mauritania-are-jailed-for-getting-pregnant-report/


Mauritania, a vast desert country in northwest Africa, is an Islamic Republic with a penal code partly based on sharia law.

Sex outside of marriage is officially punishable by flogging, jail time, or in cases of adultery, death by stoning, although corporal punishments are not, in practice, carried out.

When HRW visited the women’s prison in the capital Nouakchott earlier this year, nine of the 22 prisoners were detained on zina charges, although it was not able to determine how many were victims of assault.

There is no national data on zina cases and it has become less common over the last two decades for rape victims to be charged with the crime, HRW said.

But the risk of prosecution remains high, with some civil society organizations advising rape victims who are over 18 or pregnant not to go to the police, Ofime said.

“Mauritanian society doesn’t accept rape, and victims are often shunned and mistreated by their families,” said Aminetou Mint Ely, president of an association that runs support centers for sexual violence victims.

While civil society organizations provide emergency services to rape victims and women who have fled domestic violence, there are no overnight shelters in the country, said HRW.

“The thing that makes Mauritania an outlier ... is the absolute absence of the state when it comes to the provision of direct support services to survivors,” Ofime said.
Health / 5 Things Men Should Know About Menopause by sabinewsmedia: 1:20pm On Oct 31, 2018
Majority of males know about menopause in the sense that it is that period when the fertility of a woman ceases due to the cessation of hormonal production within her reproductive system but how do we cope with the attendant challenges that come during this pivotal time in a woman's life.

Also Read: All You Need To Know About Menopause

It’s not all about hot flushes
Psychotherapist and menopause expert Diane Danzebrink says that for men: "It’s about education and understanding what menopause is. We need to get over the barrier that it’s all about hot flushes and night sweats.

"One of the things I have really picked up on from men is the perception is that [women are] 'all going mad'. That’s not the man’s fault, because sadly, we don't teach anything about menopause earlier in life.

"Menopause simply means the end of monthly periods – once the ovaries stop producing eggs and hormone levels start to drop.

"Leading up to menopause is perimenopause and that is when hormone levels start to fluctuate. 75% of women will experience symptoms and for some they can be debilitating, affecting all aspects of their lives and those around them."

It affects the family as a whole
A man once called a radio talk show complaining about how it has been a very difficult phase for the family due to the situation.

“The loss of libido has been very difficult for me to deal with indeed," he said. "She is just as confused about it as I am."

He explained: "Physically I’m warm, my temperature is quite warm, so when we both get into a cold bed we snuggle up together, me keeping her warm.

"But now, in the last 10 years, it’s ‘no, get away from me, I’m hot’.

"It’s changed us from being a cosy couple together to being apart… It’s definitely changed our relationship a lot."

You need to talk about sex
Diane says: "Personal intimacy can completely go out the window. That leaves both partners feeling very isolated.

"Quite often the woman is avoiding any sort of sexual intimacy, because a) if she’s got no libido and is worrying about that then she is going to avoid any kind of physical contact, even just having a hug or cuddle on the sofa; b) if she’s physically suffering – for example with a urinary tract infection or vaginal soreness or atrophy.

"The emotional and physical gap widens and then that gap gets harder to bridge. Once this communication breaks down, it gets harder and harder to start the conversation.

"Lots of the men that I speak to talk about the emotional isolation and how sad they feel that it’s broken down."



You can make a difference (and here’s how)
Diane says: "Recognise the symptoms. Offer support. Sometimes it’s just listening, just being there, sometimes it’s asking: 'What do you need from me?' If your partner can’t see the way forward, you can help with that – but ask, don’t tell.

"It’s also about recognising this is not a change that the woman has control over. Hormones run us all. Once those hormones start fluctuating, they start going off on a path of their own - you don’t have control over it.

"If you have noticed that your wife or partner is more emotional or quicker to snap, rather than snapping back, stop, maybe walk away, just ask yourself why this is happening.

"I've seen statistics saying that one in ten women quit work during menopause. So, if you’re a man who manages women, it’s about having some kind of supportive pathway in place for a member of staff who’s going through it."

There are some things it’s best not to say
Diane says the two phrases she hears all the time are: 'Well, it happens to everyone’ and ‘My mum (or my aunt) got through it all right.’

"I don’t just hear that about men talking to women, I hear it from women who have sailed through it as well. We shouldn’t denigrate each other for our experiences, we should be supportive of those experiences and look to see where we can help. We can’t judge everything by our own experience.

"With the best will in the world, no man will ever know what it’s like to experience it, so it’s about trying to understand. It’s like no woman is ever going to know what it’s like to be the husband or the male partner of a woman going through menopause."

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a statement on Tuesday insisted the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the "Buhari Presidency" is out on a smear campaign against its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar by hiring groups to "impugn" the character of the former Vice President.

The PDP said these “shenanigans will be of no avail as Nigerians have resolved to elect Atiku as President come February 2019 due to his proven leadership capacity.”

The statement issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, reads:

“It is shameful that instead of channelling the nation’s resources to productive ventures, the APC and the Presidency have remained fixated on Atiku Abubakar, even when it has become clear that Nigerians can no longer be deceived, having seen through their lies, fabrications and beguilements.

“Nigerians are also aware that since the emergence of Atiku as our Presidential candidate; the attendant spontaneous jubilation across the country and massive influx of millions of supporters into our party, the Presidency has been on panic mode, knowing that President Buhari is no match for our candidate.

“Also, having failed in the attempt to paint and label Atiku as corrupt, the APC has now started creating seemingly independent groups to commence a fresh attack on the personal image of our candidate.

“Already, the PDP is privy to the procurement of certain devious groups and individuals, who have been paid millions of naira, to attempt to directly impugn on the character and reputation of our candidate with a view to bringing him to public disrepute ahead of the elections.

“We are aware of how two top officials of the APC, two Presidential aides and two APC governors have been detailed to coordinate this agenda against our candidate.

“Their strategies include using the procured groups and hirelings to release strings of fabrications against our candidate ahead of the elections.”

Politics / Balarabe Musa: 'buhari Has Failed Us But He Is Still Better Than Atiku' by sabinewsmedia: 11:54am On Oct 30, 2018
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Peoples Redemption Party, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has thrown his weight behind President Muhammadu Buhari's second term bid by insisting that despite the glaring failures of the President, he is still better than the former Vice President and the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

ALSO READ: Credentials Controversy: Presidency Releases Statement

According to the former Kaduna State Governor, there is no doubt that Buhari has failed Nigerians but Abubakar will fail even more if elected in 2019. Musa’s statement came barely a week after he cautioned Nigerians against voting for PDP in the 2019 elections.
He said the choice between Buhari and Abubakar was one between 'two devils,' adding that the forces backing the former vice president, including former presidents, will not allow him to rule well if he wins the poll.

Noting that those forces were interested in the defeat of President Buhari, Musa said:

“Buhari has failed but Atiku will fail even more because of Atiku’s connection with some forces, among them, former presidents who are the root of the rot we are now facing in this country.



“For Atiku to align with them for whatever reason, is more dangerous than Buhari, because all they have to tell Nigerians is that they want to defeat Buhari but is that all Nigerians want to know?

“Nigerians want to know what is the qualitative and demonstrative character and differences between Atiku and Buhari and between APC and PDP.

ALSO READ: Buhari hasn’t learnt from his experience – Balarabe

“There is nothing; so it’s a question of choice between two evils. The only thing is that we are faced with such a situation and we can’t have a credible alternative like we had when former President Badamasi Babangida established two political parties.

“One to the left and another one to the right calling one SDP and the other NRC, and if you want to participate in politics then, you have no choice but to select one of the two and there is nothing you could do about it.

“So if we still face that kind of situation today, whether you support Atiku or Buhari or support PDP or APC, we don’t pray to have such a situation.”

“But if we do face such a situation, then it’s better to support Buhari because he is a lesser problem to Atiku. “Because Atiku, with him being rich and with the support of those forces, we will have a greater task in handling him.’’

On whether Atiku’s business experience could help revive Nigeria’s economy, Musa said the country didn’t need a businessman to control its destiny.

"Dear Editor,
My name is Jessica, a 28-year-old married mother of two. I have been married to Osondu for six years now but at the moment, I am in serious trouble as his elder brother, Tony, is sexually blackmailing me.
I know I put myself in the situation that he capitalized to have a hold over me but he has taken the advantages he has over me too far and I don't know how long I can cope with what he has been doing for me.
Tony is one of those never-do-wells and loafers who believe that because their brothers are rich, then they do not have to work as they will be spoon-fed by the rich siblings.

ALSO READ: "True Confession: ‘How do I tell my husband that 2 of our children are not his?’"

And to make the matter worse, Tony is over eight years older that Osondu but he believes it is his right for my husband to take care of him not minding the age gap between them.
He lives with us, eat the food I cook and now wants to share me with my husband not minding the abomination his action is breeding.
I said that I put myself in the situation that Tony took advantage of and I totally regret it today coupled with his actions afterward.
I don't know what got into me when my ex-boyfriend, Ndubuisi who had been in South Africa for over 10 years, came back and called that he wanted to see me. I was also eager to see Ndu though I never thought the meeting would lead to me sleeping with him.
But it did.
Till date, I cannot say how Tony got to know about me and Ndu but I was shocked when I came out of the hotel he lodged one day only to find Tony sitting in the reception, apparently waiting for me.
When I saw him, I prayed he did not see me and tried to sneak past him but he stood up and blocked my way to make sure I saw him and that he saw me.
I don't know how I managed to get home that day. When Tony came back later, he called me to his room and told me in a clear tone that he knew that I had gone to the hotel to have sex with Ndu and that if I wanted him to keep quiet about it, then he too would have to have sex with me.

Romance / Player's Diary by sabinewsmedia: 4:22pm On Oct 23, 2018
I have lived a life of simple pleasures. Maybe too simple. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I just love women. And I think that’s okay because they love me too.
Now, you must think I’m really proud already, but stay with me – let me begin, and let me finish.

I am truly a master at this. Pay close attention, no pun intended.
Myriads of women have prodded down the path of my humble existence for the mild gratification of the heart and flesh. I make them come. And I make them go. This is an art.

If I met one whose heart was too guarded to invade, then I’d have met with a player’s favorite subject, for there’s no greater fun than the chase before the kill. But if she persists too long, then I’ll be facing the possibility of every player’s waterloo: falling in love.
This has happened thrice. Yes, just three times. But that is too much for a player. And the other countless conquests, the fallen heroes, they have made me the master that I am.

Stay with me. This is the beginning.

I met Amber a fortnight ago while attending a public speaking course. She was tall and pretty. To use the word ‘beautiful to quantify would be pushing it a bit. She wore a tight brown-fitting skirt suit with a yellow camisole that allowed just a fair view of her cleavage. Her suave smooth legs jutted sinfully out of her short skirt and promoted the intimidation generated by her imperious behind when she strutted pass cattily.

All eyes were riveted on her.

The confidence in her gait told me she was used to this response and stares from men. Pretty soon she’d expect someone to confront her.
I won’t be that person.

When a man does the expected with women, he’s on his way down a very slippery slope. Whatever your approach, nothing is more important than timing.

Talking about approach, I use a very simple combination: start off with humour, show some wit and intelligence, and then hint at a little warmth. It’s the best start-off recipe I know to dating. So, as much as I was totally taken by Amber’s aura, I kept my distance.

It’s in the rule book!

Ten minutes later, someone made the first move. I was watching him from the corner of my eyes. He stepped up boldly and said, “Hello.”

Wrong move.

When you have not previously met a lady, you are coming from an insecure position. To say hello is to give her one of three options: to be either polite, rude or indifferent.

A player never leaves it to chance. He’s like a chess master, calculating ahead. His moves are determined by the responses his adversary is likely to give. But he has it all covered.

Amber smiled vaguely and mumbled a greeting under her breath. Then she got her phone out of her bag. That was a clear sign she had accessed him and he didn’t make the cut. Now she was going to pretend to be wildly enthralled by somebody on the other end of the phone conversation she was about to get on.

His best bet would have been to excuse himself and save some face. That way, he could re-strategize and try again.
But he lingered until her call connected.

She moved away to get some privacy. She didn’t acknowledge he was going to be rooted to the spot waiting for her.

He didn’t know whether or not to follow her. Even he knew it was over before it got started.

I could read his mind, ‘Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t.’
Women want to be swept off their feet. But they don’t want to get a warning before you do it. That just sucks the fun out of the process.
Unless they already like you.
When Amber got off the phone, she went off in the opposite direction.
Just what I expected. For me, the chase had begun.

In five minutes, I had a wing woman. A wing woman is a woman whom you send forth to the actual one you want to get acquainted with. Women get along faster with women. So the wing woman clears the path for you, looks around, invites you over, and introduces you as her cousin or a really close friend. Then later on, she excuses herself to use the bathroom and never returns.
I employ wing women for people like Amber who are constantly on guard and seemingly unfriendly. So with a little prepping, my wing woman,
Lade, went to meet Amber and they started talking.
I figure they were getting along because Amber was smiling. And then, Lade beckoned at me from across the hall.

When I accosted them, she said, “This is my cousin, Ronny. He shouldn’t be here. He doesn’t need this course.”
I smiled and offered my hand for a shake. “Next thing, she’s gonna tell you I wrote Obama’s speech.”

Amber smiled. “Sounds like you could.”

Now that is my point. By all means, get a woman laughing. Practice if you have to. If she’s laughing, she’s listening to you. And if she’s listening, then you can pretty much drive your case home.
So as I shook her hand, I quickly added, “Did they send you out here so the remaining staff can work for one day without distraction?”
She caught the joke and guffawed.
Lade knew that was the cue. “I’m going to freshen up a little. You guys should please excuse me.”
Amber nodded her approval as Lade sashayed off to the rest room. And I took my place in front of her.

Now stay with me. Let me begin, and let me finish.
