Which subject in school caused this?

7. Round boobs, they are equally full at the top and bottom

6. East-west boobs are similar to side set boobs, just that the nipples are pointing outward.

5. Side set boobs, there is wide space in between the boobs.

4. Teardrop breast, they are the bigger version of thin breast.

3. Slender breast, they are also defined as thin boobs with nipples pointing downward.

2. Asymmetrical breast
Most women have some level of asymmetry in their breasts, but if you’ve got one boob that’s
demonstrably bigger than the other then you probably fall in this category

1. Bell shaped boobs, which are slimmer at the bottom.

There’s a bra for each breast shape and they should be dressed accordingly. Breasts come in all
shapes and sizes – and aren’t always as uniform a certain magazines and the advertising industry
would have us believe.
In fact, having asymmetrical breasts, where one is bigger than the other, is very very common. Most
women have one breast slightly larger than the other. Sagging is very common also, because due to
gravity, the breast naturally assumes a hanging position.
Also as we all know, size varies a lot. Some women have practically a flat chest, some have small
breast, some have much bust that the mere weight of them can cause them backaches. Of course,
the size is not constant but varies with pregnancy, breastfeeding, and during the menstrual cycle.
Below are different types of boobs, know your type of boobs.

Almost every lady wants to get married someday but do they, at some point, question why they
haven’t said yes to the other proposals in their past? Some ladies find it hard to commit themselves
in any kind of relationship because of very few things they claim they don’t like in a guy. Let’s take a
look at some of those reasons:
1.) Unintelligent Men
I have a problem with men who are not brilliant, smart or even intelligent. What’s our discussion
going to be like? Unintelligent men are shallow and short sighted. They cannot even think for
themselves or make sense out of nothing. Most of them can neither create business ideas nor
anything that can bring us money. What’s their use?
2.) Lousy Men
These men get me angry every time. Ever being in a gathering where only one guy’s voice tops
everyone else’s or he talks when no one wants to listen? It’s different when he’s the life of the party.
This one just loves talking and making noise.
3.) Dirty Guys
A man who cares less about his hygiene should be incapable of housing a relationship. These men
grow hair under their armpits and manhood region long enough to be a forest. They look shabby all
the time. Some even care to wear ironed clothes or comb their hair when coming to meet your
parents. Jeez!
4.) Uneducated Men
A rich man without education is not the best ladies. Yes, he can afford everything you want but he
dare not open his mouth to make a speech in front of your friends or parents or your bosses. Most
ladies get so embarrassed and ashamed of these men in most occasions.
5.) Over Godly Men
No one said a man is not supposed to be God-fearing or be born again. In fact, its great thing to
marry or date a man who fears God but these ones in this category are the ones who call Jesus ten
times in a conversation of 5 minutes. They don’t fail to remind you of your wrong doings or
discourage you from wearing pretty clothes or jewelries. They even insist that makeup is for the devil
and listening to Whitney Houston or Celine Dion will lead you to hell.
6.) Violent Men
No woman in her right senses should go for these group of men. These men think beating up a
woman is cool, shows their strength and authority in their homes. They treat women like trash for the
fun of it. These men are full of pride but the secret is they are suffering from inferiority complex.
7.) Mommy’s Boys
These ones annoy most ladies I know. They run to their mothers for every and any little thing going
on in their lives. They also compare us with their mothers. They can forget to get you a gift while on
a foreign trip but their mothers always have something expensive. Some of these men always talk
about what their mothers have achieved and if not for their mothers, they won’t be the man they are.
*Rolling my eyes*

A new video showing a man predicting a woman’s future by touching her breast, has emerged online.
So your future looks like… A video has emerged on social media claiming a man was telling a
woman’s fortune by feeling her breast
The 8-second video which was uploaded by one Xiao Yuwen, a travel photographer from China has
got the internet buzzing. Xiao posted the bizarre video on Miaopai, China’s short-video sharing
platform, with the inscription: ‘Fortune telling by touching the breast, this man is taking great advantage.’
In the short video, a bespectacled man was seen touching a woman’s breast. The man, who is
believed to be a fortune teller, held a pair of crutches in the other hand. The woman can be seen
staring at him with a puzzled face. The two of them had a lot of people gathered around them as the
alleged fortune-telling was ongoing. However, there was no conversation between the fortune-teller
and woman in the video.
Strange practice: The video is believed to be filmed in China and has been shared by a photographer
to social media platform Miaopai
Many social media users thought the fortune-teller had gone too far. One user said on Weibo, a
Twitter-like platform in China: ‘This is disgusting.’ While another sounded confused: ‘What happens if a
man comes for fortune telling, Ladies, would you allow your boobs to be touched just to know your future?

1. When they try to recreate s.ex positions that they’ve obviously seen on some online p.orn site, and
you end up basically doing a headstand, looking a mess and having to listen to them say: “You’re
loving that aren’t you babes?” Err, no.
2. When you’re on top and they’re just staring at you and it’s like, ahhh what face do I pull? So you
just close your eyes and hope for the best.
3. When they ask YOU to put the con.dom on. Just no.
4. When they think it’s se.xy to spank you so hard that you just want to turn around and punch them
in the face.
5. Asking “do you like that?” How about just don’t talk and see if I look like I don’t want to kill
myself/watch TV over your shoulder.
6. When you give them a bl.ow job and they act as if you don’t have a gag reflex. How about I’m sick
all over your pe.nis?
7. When they ask you to str.ip (which is always awkward – what music do you put on?) and then
your skinny jeans get stuck round your ankles.
8. When they see random things they’ve read online and think they’re a good idea. Err no, I don’t
want ice rubbed all over my body.
9. When you’re in the middle of for.eplay and they thrust a finger up your bum with NO warning.
10. When they drag it out because they’re waiting for you to or.gasm first. You’re going to be waiting
a while for that…

Thank you.....I believe this will help batch b NYSC corps member

I understand the excitement that goes with passing out of service. In fact, you are so excited, you
want the whole world to know. A lot of people show this by sharing their POP pictures and NYSC
Certificates on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, BBM etc. You won't have to go for
the CDS again, no more khaki trousers, no more of those heavy orange boots, and for some, no
more issues with your LI and so on and so forth. You just can't wait to pick your NYSC Certificate
and run!. The Big question is, run to where?
The truth is, it's tougher out there in the Nigerian Labour Market. Ask your seniors.
As a Corper, at least you had a monthly income. But after POP, if not retained at your work place,
many of you will go incomeless (if there's a word like that) and hop into the world of job search.
The bad news is: Nobody really cares about you. It's cold and rough out there and that's not
funny.
The good news? I care in my own little way. Consequently, I've compiled 6 tips to guide you in this
process.

1) Exchange Contacts with Others and keep in Touch:
It's very common for most of us to get so drowned in the excitement of
passing out. During your POP, don't just pout your lips and take selfies
with your supposed Corper friends. Exchange phone numbers, emails, BB
Pins with them and keep in touch afterwards. This way you can know
what is going on in their lives and vice versa.

2) Create a Professional Profile:
I've come to realize that a lot of fresh graduates today
underestimate the importance of a professionally drafted profile.
Prepare a good CV and Cover Letter and keep them handy.
Always have a copy in your mail box and if possible in your
phone. You never can tell where they will be needed. You don't
want to lose that mouth watering job in an Oil Company in Lagos
just because you couldn't provide your CV when needed.

3) Relocate to Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt:
Talking about Lagos. The truth is, Lagos is a Haven of opportunities. No
city in Nigeria has as much opportunities in Nigeria as Lagos. With lots
of places to work and lots of things to lay your hands on, from banks
to Oil firms, muiltinationals, NGOs, and even to the Entertainment
industry!
Abuja is another good place to live if you are a job seeker. Though
many claim that you have to know somebody who knows somebody
that can give you a job. But in all, there are lots of opportunities in the
Federal government parastatals, Ministries, International NGOs etc.
Last but not the least is Port Harcourt, the Oil city of Nigeria, with a bunch of opportunities in the
Oil and Gas industry and other lucrative sectors.
My point is, these cities are the job hub of the nation. If you have long being a job seeker and not
residing in any of these cities, I guess it's high time you packed your bags and and made a smart
move to these any of these cities.
This doesn't mean you cant find jobs in other cities of Nigeria. But odds the are high here.

4) Network:
Leave your nest and start networking with other professionals.
The jobs are out there. But you never might know until you
seek.

5) Announce yourself:
Except for you parents and siblings, most people really do not
care what you are doing. You have to tell them yourself. Let
them know your are jobless and need a job. Be humble and
stop 'forming'.

6) Play:
All work and no play makes you dull. Do you think Exxon Mobil
is looking for a dull employee? Hell No! So make out time and
play from time to time. It refreshes you. Believe me.

President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday challenged MTN Nigeria to play an
increased role in sports development in the country.
Speaking to reporters after a courtesy call by a delegation of the MTN Group in Nigeria led by Brig.
Gen. Sani Bello (Rtd) and Ferdinand Moolman, Saraki emphasised that there was a need for large
corporations to play a part in ensuring that Nigerian athletes had the necessary corporate funding to
compete at the highest levels on the international stage.
“It would be great for thriving corporations like MTN Nigeria to begin to look at how they can
contribute to national sports development in Nigeria,” the Senate President said, “Such endeavours
can make up a critical part of the Corporate Social Responsibility contributions of these companies.”
Saraki cited the example of the Delta Airlines which came to the aid of the Nigerian National football
team, popularly known as The Dream Team, at the recently concluded Olympic Games in Rio, stating
that such interventions in sports should become more commonplace.
“We need to encourage more corporations to set up funding mechanisms like foundations that our
athletes can benefit from. Doing this would address the issues of funding that have limited our
previous successes in international sporting events.
“All around the world, athletes benefit from private sector sponsorship — Nigerian athletes should not
be the exception. Doing this would help with the preparation of our athletes prior to sports outings,
and would also contribute to the logistic requirements that are a necessary ingredient for success",
he said.
The Senate President said that moving forward, government across all levels should encourage a
private-sector driven approach to sports development, highlighting the fact that the Nigerian
entertainment industry, specifically Nollywood and the music industry, are noticeable case studies
that demonstrate that the increased participation of private sector actors in the administration of the
informal sector leads to more effective results.
“If we take Nollywood and our indigenous music industry as an example, we can see that these
sectors have reached a point of global recognition and acceptability. This is because the innovative
and competitive approach of the private sector can never be duplicated by the bureaucracy of
government. This is why we need to reevaluate how we think about sports and sports development
in Nigeria”, Saraki said.

Some rules are life saving. You know those kind of rules you read and you wonder why you didn’t
read them years back. Well, there’s no need to bicker again. Yesterday is gone and there’s nothing
we can do about that. However, we can do something about today and tomorrow and that is why this
Rule Book is very timely. They say long sermons are not good for evening services; so without much
ado, let’s dive in to the crux of this piece.
Here we go.
1. In all you do, see that you earn a living legally. This is the hallmark of real men
2. Never never rape a woman. You are a man not a beast. Rape comes with grave consequences. Real
men don’t rape.
3. Do not take advantage of the little girls on your street who call you brother. Real men respect
themselves!
4. As much as you can, avoid opening a bank account in a branch of a bank very close to your
house. More especially if the boy is really good or put in another way, if the account is fat. Odi kwa
risky!
5. Do not play women. Don’t! And if you must play, then go to the market, buy a football and go into
the field to play. Real men don’t play around.
6. Leave prostitutes alone. Let their kind attend to them. Real men do not patronize prostitutes.
7. As much as possible, avoid I Owe You (I.O.U). Freedom is priceless. You can ask the birds of the
air.
8. Visit viewing centers once in a while, especially those in your neighbourhood and especially if you
just moved into that area newly. It gives you an idea of the kind of guys staying around your area.
This is key.
9. If you can, please avoid eating in only one mama Put. Diversify! Go to other mama puts. Variety,
they say is the spice of life. And not just because of variety, for your safety too.
10. Make the Mallam or aboki (as some people call them) operating on our street your friend. They
have a way of knowing what is happening around your area. I mean it.
11. Desist from the habit of camping ladies in your house over night. Nobody is praying for bad things
but bad things don’t announce when they are coming. Some families don’t accept “I don’t know
what happened to her, she just foamed and died.” For where, who will believe that?
12. As much as you can, try to know other routes in and out of your area. This is very key for your
safety.
13. Some guys allow their friends to sleep with their girlfriends in their houses. Guys believe me, this
is not being your brother’s keeper. IF anything happens, you might not find it easy to absolve
yourself.
14. Save money. Save plenty of it if you can. It has a way of shoring up confidence. Try it now!
15. Don’t allow alcohol to control you. Control it. Yes, you can!
16. It is called gambling for a reason. Please don’t gamble away your scarce resources. Even if they
are in abundance, don’t gamble them away. Nothing is permanent under the sun.
17. Don’t fight over Arsenal or Man U or Chelsea or Liverpool or Man City or any club for that matter.
It is not worth it. It has never worth the fight.
18. Develop a huge sense of humour. See the sunny side of everything. Stop spoiling for a fight at the
slightest provocation. Real men have self control.
19. Do not beat your girlfriend or wife for any reason . She is not your punching bag. And If you must
flex your muscles, go to the gym. You will find one close by.
20. Be the best you can be.

People love talking about challenges but how about looking for solutions to those often talked about
challenges? Here, I have complied a list of challenges women face and how they can be handled. If
you are a lady, this piece is specially made for you.
1. Footwear Malfunction in the Middle of the Street
Have you ever seen how ladies react when their foot-wears cut in the middle of the street? Their body
language says a lot especially if there are a few guys at the spot looking at them. Infact, some boys
go as far as whistling when that happens.
To avoid such embarrassment, consider…
Checking the condition of your footwear before leaving the house. It won’t harm if you further make
it a habit to carry an extra pair. It is called backup plan.
2. Farting in the presence of an admirer
Imagine finally meeting him and in the middle of your discussion, you let out a loud fart.
Embarrassing? I hear there could be a temporary hitch to the flow of the discussion especially if the
released gas has a peculiar smell. I know farting is most times accidental, but you can manage it.
Here’s how…
Avoid doing anything that may increase the amount of air that you swallow. This includes chewing
your food properly.
Stay away from foods that are known to increase farting especially a night to the proposed meeting
day.
3. Stains from your monthly visitor
I hear this is the most embarrassing of all. Women usually don’t like people to know when they are
going through their cycle. You can imagine posting this announcement inadvertently for everyone to
see – “my visitor is here.” And the visitor screaming “Code red!” Always monitor the arrival of this August visitor. Or avoid wearing white or any material that could
easily show the stain especially if you are not too sure when it will arrive.
4. Ripping your pants
This looks like the most embarrassing. Imagine suddenly dropping your phone on the floor and
without thinking twice, you bend over to pick it up. The accompanying message from the sound of
the pair of trousers is so deafening. Your heart skips a beat. You ask your colleague to confirm your
fear. She screams the verdict. “How manage?!” In less than two minutes, everybody is looking for a
solution-to cover your dignity. Imagine the naughty boy in your office saying “let me see.” All that can
be avoided.
Consider…
Advising your tailor to always give some allowance at your waist region.
Or if it must be tight, then avoid picking things when they fall. Ask someone to help. Also avoid over-
stretching your legs or jumping over drains.
5. Standing up only to realize you have shown the world the colours of your briefs and the alignment
I hear some ladies feel bad when they realize they have caused a few heads to turn to see some
unscripted movies.
Doing the needful before leaving your seat or alighting from your car/bus will always take care of that
embarrassment.
6. Tripping on high heels
I have seen mighty falls before. I’m sure you have too. Some say every lady has fallen at least once
as a result of high heels. Maybe you should consider…
Taking a few baby steps with your new shoes before leaving the house. Move around your apartment
in slow and quick match. Try every scenario you imagine could happen when you are out there in the
public in those high heels.

Now we can use ultrasound and other modern technology to find out the baby’s sex before it gets
born. However, not everyone can access these things. So, can you tell the baby’s gender by how
your boobs look during the pregnancy? Science journalist Jena Pincott has carried out research. Her
findings are amazing! She discovered that women, who carry girls usually have larger breasts. I.e.
their breasts get bigger during the pregnancy than of those, who carry the boys.If you are carrying a baby and your breasts get 8 cm larger, most likely it’s a girl, but they
the increase in size is around 6 cm, it might be a boy. As you know, men have the dominating
hormone called testosterone. It prevents their boobs from growing big.So, if a lady carries a boy, he
delivers this hormone into her system and slows down her breasts’ growth. But a girl delivers, even
more, estrogen; that’s why the boobs of her mother grow so big. She gets the double dose of it.

7. Prophetess
There must be a reason behind the increasing number of prophetess in Lagos. Well, the one reason
that easily comes to mind is the fact that many Lagos residents are desperately looking for
breakthroughs in their finances, family, career or in their health. Hence, the birth of prayer or
breakthrough merchants in the city.
Are you in Lagos, what other group did I miss out?

6. Prostitutes or commercial sex workers
Agreed, commercial sex workers are in every part of the country. And if that is true, you can only
imagine the number of commercial sex workers in a city like Lagos. Imagine what the number will
look like in a city like Lagos

5. Runs Women
These women are different from sugar mummies and commercial sex workers by the way they
operate their business. They are the bridge or middle men between the randy Lagos men and Call
girls; runs women ensure that the demand and supply of sex in the city remains a constant. There are
always girls either in their employ or contact who they connect to men for a fee.

4. The Sugar Mummies
If you haven’t encountered sugar mummies in Lagos, it must because of the following reasons;
a. you are literally confined to an area of Lagos where such women are non-existent and I doubt if
there are any part of Lagos where they cannot be found.
b. Or maybe you don’t look good enough or attractive enough for their liking.
Sugar mummies in Lagos are very powerful and very influential, pray that your husband or boyfriend
do not cross their paths.

3. The Popular Market Women
You won’t understand the popularity and influence of this group of women until you visit and
perhaps reside in the city for some months. I hear the The ones that trade in spirit and textile in
Oshodi, Balogun, Yaba and other markets can comfortably employ university graduates and pay them
handsomely if they want without losing any sleep and no pun intended. The ones who sell by the
streets have so many names including Lifesavers. Some families in Lagos cannot imagine what life
will look like without them. Even some bachelors have survived and are still surviving the city because
of the magnanimity of some of these women who operate the almighty life saving scheme popularly
known as I Owe You(IOU).

2. Full Time Housewives
What is Lagos without the burgeoning number of full time housewives? To start with, if there are no
housewives, the home fronts in the city will certainly suffer a lot of deprivation and care. The next
and very important point is that Lagos housewives are the sources of most stories, gist, rumour,
hearsay and gossips in the city. No gossip like Lagos housewives’gossip. They are very very good at
the business of gossiping, quarreling and fighting over almost everything. You can only argue this
point if you don’t stay in Lagos. Even if you stay in a compound with walls almost touching the sky,
you would have overheard some women quarreling or fighting.

1. The Extremely Career and Religion Minded
There are a lot of extremely career and religion minded women in Lagos. The Lagos corporate life is
driven by this set women. If you work in a big Tech or IT company, banks and advertising
companies, you must come across a lot of these women. They are always serious all the time. They
dress the way they want to be addressed. They are hardly involved in frivolities and not really
interested in gossip blogs. They favourites platforms are Linkedin.com , addicted2success.com and
many other career and personal development websites. They are always discussing deliverables,
timelines, and deadlines. Yes, that is how serious and career minded they can be. Their lives revolve
around their offices and churches or mosque and their children schools if they have kids. If Lagos is
made up of only these women, musicians and showbiz promoters would have long relocated to
another city. However, a lot of other businesses thrive in the city because of them. Ask people who
are in businesses such as laundry services, food, cleaning, nanny and many more and they will tell
you their businesses thrive because of these women.

There’s no city in Nigeria and indeed Africa like Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria. A city that
boats of a population of about 20 million people and good number of that population is in the hustling
bracket, working hard in ways they deem fit to make ends meet. Having stayed in Lagos for some
years now, here are some categories of women I have seen.

A 35-year-old pastor in Gabon, Franck Kabele, has died while trying to take after Jesus in the Bible.
Reports claim that Kabele told his congregation that he was capable of reenacting the same miracles
of Jesus Christ in the Bible. He decided to make it clear through way of demonstration on Gabon’s
beach in the capital city of Libreville.Using Matthew 14:22-33 as reference, Kabele said that he
received a revelation which told him that with enough faith he
could achieve what Jesus did also.This is not the first incident of this nature in Africa. At Ibadan zoo
in south-west Nigeria, a self-proclaimed prophet claimed to be able to do what the Daniel of the bible
did by walking into a den full of lions. Though he was warned numerous times by zoo keepers, the
prophet thought of them as nothing more than enemies of progress. The prophet, with a crowd of
people watching, put on a long red robe and proceeded to enter the cage full of lions. HE was ripped
apart from flesh to bone within seconds of entrance into the lions’ den.

A Nigerian lawyer, Oluwakemi Makun, has advised young Nigerians who have just
completed their first degree not to be in a hurry to do masters.
There is an additional advantage for a young graduate to first gain some work experience,
know his strength and weakness, before deciding on area of interest and the type of
education that would fit into his career choice, says Mrs. Makun, an expert in corporate
and commercial law, and the principal of an Abuja law firm, Allianz Solicitors.
Mrs. Makun, who spoke from Abuja after finishing top of her class, with a cum laude and
four distinctions, at the Executive MBA programme of the Business School Netherlands,
Abuja, said she draws example from her personal experience.
Mrs. Makun and 72 other Nigerians who completed the programme in the country, in
September, received their certificates at a ceremony at The Hague, Netherlands.
“If I had gone for my masters immediately after graduating from the University, I
probably would not have made any sense of it. Studying at this stage in my life makes
more sense to me because I already know what I want and what I need,” said Makun who
has about 13 years of experience in legal practice, and is also a part time businesswoman.
“As a lawyer, I should have gone for LLM, but over the years, I developed an interest in
commercial law, business advisory, and development,” she said. “An MBA is just right for
me.”
Makun said she was “one woman riot squad” before enrolling for the MBA. She was using
her car as a mobile law chambers, she said.
“Determined to succeed by applying the right techniques to accomplish my goals, I knew I
needed to be a master of the art of learning and knowing how to go about business
development and management.”
Today, Makun says, she and her business have been transformed. She now has an office
and has employed a few staff. She said her thinking has been changed positively, and that
she now has all that is needed for her to compete in the industry.
“The programme was quite challenging for me, given that I had no business or
management background I asked the most stupid questions in class because it was a
strange area for me,” she said of her experience in the MBA programme.
“I guess those ‘stupid questions’ paid off eventually.
“I deprived myself of some unnecessary leisure such as watching TV because I had to read
up all my books and articles. Being a mum, I also had to manage my primary duties with
my study. I got a grip during my fourth module, by which time I had gotten used to it. You
have to be determined.”
She advised young people to be diligent and committed to whatever they are doing, for
positive result would start showing before long. “Failure is not an excuse to give up your
dream. It is just an indication that you have done something wrong that needs to be fixed
at the drawing board,” she said.
She also has an advice for business owners and managers.
“This period (of economic recession) is a blessing in disguise. Owners and managers of
businesses can leverage on the situation in Nigeria to explore onshore outsourcing in place
of offshore, patronize locally made products more, (and) avoid credits.”
