seunlly:
For some couples, it can be weeks or months before they put any kind of label on it. Maybe you’re in a situationwhere things started out casual and your feelings crept up on you. Or that window where you clarify that things are now serious somehow came and went, and things just feel awkward. Or maybe you’re just on the cusp and neither one of you wants to blow up the status quo so you both just play it cool.
1. You’ve met his friends.Specifically,he made a point to *bring you along* to meet his friends. This is very different from him messaging you at 1 AM to swing by a party and pick himup, so you meet his friends fleetingly. But if he actually makes plans with you to go out with his friends, and it all feels like a big deal, he’s at least a little into you.
2. He’s bringing you around to “couple’s events.”Meeting his friendsis one thing. But if you’re unsure of how he views you, and you go out to adinner that’s all couples… you’ve pretty much got your answer. No guy who wants to keep things casual is going to take you out with a bunch of other couples.
3. You slept over and didn’t have sex.When you can spend the night with a new-ish hook up and not feel obligated to actually hook up, it's a good sign.The more this happens, the more likely it is you can have a “talk” without it being cringy. Any guy who wanted to set boundaries with a casual fling wouldn’t have even let this happen once.
4. His family knows about you.Meeting his parents is a huge step. So even if he isn’t ready for that, his family knowing you exist is a big deal — he wouldn’t tell them about some random hook up.
5. You’ve done an overnight trip.I'm obviously not talking about a couple’sretreat at a bed and breakfast, otherwise this wouldn’t even be a question… or you both just have the weirdest relationship ever. But if he’s asking you along to visit his friend in college, or wants you to come with him when his friends all get hotel rooms for New Year’s Eve, he sees you as a girlfriend or boyfriend.
6. You got through a tough time together.On a much more somber note, it’s likely that he’s not going to see you if he’s going through the death of a close relative. Or he might not want to crowd you if you’ve got your own struggles. If you’re both sticking around through the worst of it, it’s because you care about the other person.
7. He makes plans around you.You’reprobably not at the point where he’s going to make major career changes with you, but he’s thinking of you beyond the next few weekends, that’sa sign. Whether it means you made casual plans to go see a movie in three weeks, or he’s taking you as his plus one to a wedding in a month, that’s something.
8. You get some kind of “thinking of you” texts.His messages go beyond trying to schedule the next hookup, orhim sexting you. If he wanted to keep his distance and make things casual, he wouldn’t be texting you every day. Or, he just really loves DMing. To be fair, that’s also a possibility. He might just be really bored at work.
9. He really goes out of his way to seeyou, even if he’s already seen you a few times this week.He’s braved snowstorms, or driven an hour out of his way to show up at your place. Maybe he even busts his ass to see you multiple times in a week even though it isn’t exactly convenient. That’s definitely relationship-level effort.
10. When someone asks who you are,he stammers and says, "my girlfriend/boyfriend."You'll probably want to clarify it with him after the fact (it's possible he just felt awkwardand panicked), but this is as good a sign as any. If he just called you his"friend," you'd know he's still trying to keep his distance.

Romance › Why Make So Much Noise During Sex?! by seunlly(op): 6:07am On Jan 09, 2017
Have you ever woken up the morning after some mind-blowing sex and think: “Why did I tell him all that stuff while we were cuddling last night?” Apparently, you’re not unique. Recent research shows that women who had an orgasm disclosed more of their positive thoughts and feeling about their partner afterward than those who didn’t climax—and they don’t feel as if they’re taking a risk by doing that. Blame it on your brain chemicals making you feel trusting. According to experts, an orgasm triggers the release of oxytocin, the feel-good neuro- chemical that also makes spooning (lying front to back with your partners) feet amazing. “People get loose-lipped after an orgasm because the oxytocin makes them think it’s the right time to say gooey things,” explains author Amanda Denes. “In serious relationships, a little sappy gab might not be a bad thing, but in casual situations, it’s sort of a mixed bag. Professing your love to someone you’ve been seeing for a few weeks could scare him away, but it could also help take things to the next level. So when in doubt, err on the side of taciturnity and see if you still feet like spilling in the morning.” Deep down, we’re all animals in bed. After all, sex is an extremely primal act, and when we use our verbal human brains to talk about it—it’s clear that the tongue and the groin are linked (in a much less graphic way that you readers are picturing right now!) “Language communicates not only information but also meaning, feelings and symbols of internal realities,” says Amanda Denes. “We can use it to make sex better in a mechanical, instructional sense, but it also makes the act more meaningful.” In fact, a few choice words can set off the arousal response as swiftly as a sensual touch —especially in women who are more turned on by ideas than by visuals. But an off-colour or way-too-raunchy phrase from a man in your bed can turn you off just as quickly.” When Annie, a banker met Herbert, one of her bank’s directors at the bank’s award dinner, she was impressed by this sophisticated and powerful man sitting across her on their table. “I’ve always been drawn to powerful men,” she confessed, “and Herbert was the type of gentleman that often attracted 1. Weeks later, we hooked up in one of the bank’s guest rooms. He was married and I wasn’t looking for a permanent relationship. I just wanted fun! “He was adept at touching the right buttons and in minutes, we were writhing on the bed. Then I heard this sergeant-major-like barking ordering me to: ‘Don’t just groan, tell me how you’re feeling. Tell me what I’m doing to you and what you really like…. ‘ On and on he went. It was a shock. What the hell was wrong with him? When I looked at his face, his eyes were bulging. He looked more of a rapist than a man having consensual sex. I was a bit embarrassed afterwards but he seemed to be pleased with his performance. That was the last time I went out with him.” No one has the blue-print for a happy-ever-after relationship, but there are guidelines I have picked up along the line that could help. One of them is to take your time. The foundations for a lasting love life are set at the start of your relationship. Take time to get to know your partner physically. Make it a mission to find new erogenous zones and give them pleasure in new ways. Try new things. Don’t get lazy: Sex can get into a rut, so make a pledge to try something new every month, check out new sexual positions; choose a different pattern of pre-intimacy or bring some intimacy gadgets into the bedroom. Keep it fun. Bring a sense of humour into the bedroom. Play games, explore your fantasies and role-play, keep a spirit of adventure. Make time: All this playing around requires time, so give it the space it deserves. Don’t wait for just before you fall asleep—treat yourself to a full evening in bed. Respect each other: There will be time when one person wants sex less than their partner. This can be frustrating if you’re losing out but it’s important to respect your partner’s view and not to put them under too much pressure. Stress lowers libido, so when problems get back to normal, so will your sex life. Keep intimate: Even during times of stress, when you’re not having sex, it’s important to stay intimate. Show your love and commitment through hugs, cuddles and getting close. Share the hard times— secrets can breed resentment. Support one another. Adapt: As you grow older together, adapt your sex life to suit changing your home or work life. Children or ill health can impact on a relationship but you can get through it with a bit of imagination. Temptation: If you find your eye wandering, remember the grass may appear greener else-where but usually isn’t.

Politics › Oil Marketers Responsible For Cooking Gas, Kerosene Scarcity — NNPC by seunlly(op): 5:41am On Jan 09, 2017
ABUJA —The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
NNPC, yesterday, blamed oil marketers in the country
for the excruciating scarcity of kerosene and Liquefied
Petroleum Gas, LPG, also known as cooking gas and
the high price of the commodities across the country.
The price of cooking gas had shot up from about
N3,500 in most places before the Christmas holidays,
to a minimum of N5,000 for a 12.5 kilogramme cylinder
last week, while kerosene which went for as much as
N250 per litre is now sold for a minimum of N500 per
litre.
Some retailers of LPG in Abuja, told Vanguard that
though it was normal that during the yuletide period,
the price of the commodity normally goes up a bit
because of huge demand, they noted that the recent
sharp rise in the price, from N3,500 to more than
N5,000 was abnormal.
According to one of the marketers, who simply gave
his name as Chibuike, the increase in price during the
Christmas season is normally between N100 and
N300, and at most N500, but this current rise is
unprecedented and “we seem not to know the reason
for the sharp rise.”
Another retailer, Hamza Shuaibu, said the product
seem not to be available in most of the recognised
depots in Abuja, making most of the retailers to
obtain the product from black marketers and
middlemen.
For kerosene, most of the petrol stations visited in
Abuja said they last sold the product sometime in
June 2015 and had not seen the product since then.
Oil marketers responsible for scarcity
However, Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs
Department of the NNPC, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, in an
interview with Vanguard, said the oil marketers were
responsible for the scarcity and the hike in the prices
of kerosene and cooking gas.
He denied that the scarcity was a ploy by the NNPC to
push for an increase in the prices of cooking gas,
kerosene, petrol or any other petroleum product.
Ughamadu said the NNPC had been consistent in
bringing in petroleum products into the country, but
its efforts were not being complemented by the
marketers, who he said had refused to bring in
products.
He noted that the LPG market was fully deregulated
and though the NNPC was trying in this regard, it
could not compel the marketers to bring in the
product, especially as it was not a regulator.
Petrol price to increase as landing cost soars to N213
per litre
However, with the landing cost of PMS, popularly
known as petrol now at N213 per litre, there are fears
that petrol price could increase. Currently, the
government is not paying subsidy on the product.
While the modulated bracket of N135-N145 is given as
official price for petrol, drafts showed that extra N67.7
is incurred on over 35 million litres of daily imports as
the landing cost soared.
According to the Head of Energy Research at Ecobank,
Dolapo Oni, “when oil price was at $52 per barrel, the
landing cost was N165 per litre. Later when the price
rose to $55, the price soared to N210 per litre.
“Now that oil price is averaging at $58 per barrel, the
landing cost will hover around N213 per litre,” he
said.

Politics › Stakeholder Urges FG To Build Nollywood City In 2017 by seunlly(op): 2:57pm On Jan 08, 2017
Lagos – Mr Ini Akpabio, the Group Managing Director,
NANET Hotels and Suite, has advised the Federal
Government to build a Nollywood City to boost
entertainment industry in 2017.
Akpabio said in Lagos on Sunday that the gesture
would reposition the Nollywood image of the country.
He decried a situation where Nigeria could not boast
of one Nollywood village or city, where practitioners
could assemble or meet to exhibit and showcase their
talents to the world.
“The National Theatre is a no go area for Nollywood
practitioners as the money to access the facility is on
the high side.
“It is unfair for a nation like Nigeria not to have a
Nollywood city in spite of the great talented
practitioners/experts we are blessed with in this
country.
“Nigerian movies are widely recognised all over the
world; therefore, government should provide the basic
needs to boost the industry, “he said.
According to him, it does not mean that the
government will be the one to do everything; the
government can go into partnership with other private
investors.
Akpabio said that some Nigerian movies had won
international awards and recognitions, government
needed to encourage them to do more.
He explained that the only way government could
encourage the actors was to provide incentives,
create enabling environment and provide necessary
infrastructure.
Akpabio said that the Nollywood city would
accommodate entertainers, actors and actresses,
performers, comedians and creativity in general.
“It will serve as an avenue for them to exhibit and
showcase their talents.
“It will also be a platform where their foreign
counterparts will meet them to chat the course on the
latest trend in entertainment industry, “he said.
He expressed confidence that the industry would
boost government revenues and create employment
opportunity to millions of Nigeria.
Akpabio said that countries like U.S, Indian, and other
countries that have Bollywood and Hollywood cities
were thriving in their entertainment sector.
He said that Dubai just recently build their Bollywood
city which in no time would be thriving in terms of
entertainment.
“If Nigeria can follow the same way, it will help to
reposition and boost the nation’s entertainment
industry and compete favourably with their foreign
counterparts, ” Akpabio said.

Health › RCCG Upgrades Abandon Hospitals. by seunlly(op): 10:37pm On Jan 07, 2017
THE joy of residents of Magboro and Arepo communities in the Obafemi Owode Local Governmnet Area of Ogun State knew no bounds last week, as Province 2 of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. RCCG, dedicated a multi-million naira health care facility for the use of the community. Dedicating the hospital, Still-Waters Hospital, wife of the church’s General Overseer, Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye advised members of the community and their leaders to protect the 11-bed hospital, work in peace, love and harmony. According to her, the facility has been built for the use of the community without bias for religion or tribe, saying: “Whatever God does, He does it for all. We must not allow religious discrimination; we must not say this was done by Christians. We must live in love and provide adequate security to the facility and protect it from vandalism.” Pastor-in-Charge of RCCG Region 19, Pastor Brown Oyitso while admonishing residents of the area, on ‘Christian Social Responsibility’, said the provision of the health facility was the church’s adherence to the commandment of Jesus Christ that Christians should show forth a lifestyle of compassion and love wherever they are. Oyitso said the gesture also forms part of the core mandate given to all Provinces by the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye who had tasked the church to impact positively on the society, especially the immediate environment. “It is good to do good. Government of the day cannot do it all and that is why our father in the Lord, Pastor Adeboye instructed us to do good works by impacting the community we establish our churches positively,” he said. The Pastor-in-charge of the Province, Pastor Yemi Lebi explained that the land for the project was donated to the community by former Ogun State Governor Olusegun Osoba, but the community was unable to equip the health centre built thereon until the church noticed the building during an evangelistic outreach and stepped in to salvage the situation. Lebi said the province took over and upgraded the health centre to an ultra modern one, fully stocked with drugs, with state-of-the-art medical equipment, including ultra-sound scan facilities and an x-ray machine with various medical personnel on ground to minister to the patients. In his words: ”It is not for profit, will be high-ly subsidised and patients will pay only a token to access health-care at Stillwaters Hospital,” he said, add-ing that this was only one of the church’s many CSR projects. Responding, Magbo-ro/Arepo community development committee chairman, Mr. Ayo-deji Kuku appreciated the church for successfully upgrading the health centre to a modern hospital for good health service delivery to the community.

Politics › Nigeria Government Oppressing Us With Our Resources – Ijaw Nation by seunlly(op): 10:14pm On Jan 07, 2017
The Ijaw nation has stated that the Federal Government
is oppressing the Niger Delta region of Nigeria after it
had forcefully acquired its natural resources.
Delta State Ijaw Traditional Rulers’ Forum made the
assertion at the just concluded Izon Day of Prayer,
Praise and Thanksgiving Service held in Warri, Delta
State.
Speaking on behalf of the Forum, the Pere of Akugbene-
Mein Kingdom, HRM. Pere S.P. Luke JP , Kalanama VIII
JP said, “As Ijaw Nation, Jehovah has blessed us with
abundant blessings, uncountable blessings and those
who are our oppressors, those who are coming to take
from us, after taking from us, with what they’ve taken
from us, they use that wealth to oppress us and we
cannot continue to fold our hands and watch.
“All we need to do is to cry to God Almighty because he
has assured us that even lawful captives will be
delivered from the mouth of the mighty one.”
The Ijaw monarch who drew his text from Isaiah
49:24-26 also accused the Federal Government of
systematically checkmating and intimidating Christians
from worshipping the Almighty God, citing the Southern
Kaduna crisis as an example.
Kalanama also condemned the 29 billion naira budget
for the battle against Niger Delta militants saying, “If 29
billion is naira
is spent on infrastructures in the Niger Delta Region,
who is that foolish man that will take up arms to go
and fight the government?”
Speaking, the Deputy Governor of Delta State, Barr.
Kingsley Burutu Otuaro urged the Ijaw Nation to remain
united as well as speak with one voice so as to
continue to see and enjoy development beyond their
widest imagination.
Otuaro was represented by his Senior Special Assistant
on Communication and Press, Mr. Bolou Kosin.

Politics › Ogun Govt Wages War Against Fake Monarchs by seunlly(op): 12:34am On Jan 06, 2017
Ogun State arguably has the largest number of traditional rulers in the country . To buttress the status, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief Jide Ojuko released the officially recognised number of traditional rulers in the state, saying, they are 249 in number.

The commissioner who took his time to explain how the State got to the level said; “In the past, the process of selection of Obas, I want to say, has been abused and the interest of this government is to ensure that responsible, people of good character, people of high pedigree, people of recognized means of living are made Obas of our various communities.”


Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun
He further said; “Because, we have discovered that many of them were made Obas, only to start selling land, to start disturbing the peace of their environments. We have discovered that it is the Oba in some communities who caused the problem that is happening in those communities.

“And this is because many of them before they were made Obas, they don’t have means of livelihood. Many of them, I am sorry to say, would have been linked to thuggery, to quite a number of bad things before they were made Obas, but, these are the things we are trying to correct.

“We inherited about 249 traditional rulers in the state and they are of three categories. We have the paramount rulers, they are four in number.

Traditional rulers of the state

That is the Awujale of Ijebuland ,the Alake of Egbaland ,the Akarigbo of Remoland and the Olu of Ilaro as the fourth paramount ruler. Of course we have first class Obas, we have part two Obas and we have the part three chiefs, those are the ones we call coronet Obas . These are the three categories.

“At the lower helm, of the system,there are the Baale’s that we have all over the towns and villages. So, these are the categories of the traditional rulers of the state”, the commissioner said .

While speaking on what the current administration led by Governor Ibikunle Amosun has done for over five years, Chief Ojuko said “since we came on board, I want to put it on record, that, we have only put in place only one new traditional ruler. Only one, since this administration was in place. All the ones you see us doing or installing all over the place are sort of replacement of the past ones.

“We inherited quite a number of Obas that have gone before we came . The communities were becoming restless as to the fact that they want their Obas in place and that is why you see us installing one today, another one tomorrow. And in any case, as I am talking to you we have not finished replacing them.

“Unfortunately or interestingly as we are replacing, they are dying. So, it is possible that you see us continuing to install. But, the policy of this government is that we don’t just install Obas, without due process and without ensuring that there are reasons, cogent reasons why the selected candidates will be installed as the Oba of any territory,” he said.

On preferential treatment

On the allegation that, the government gives preferential treatment to politicians especially those in the same political parties, Chief Ojuko explained that “ It is the view of this government that we don’t link Obaship with politics. We have discovered that in the past, selection and whatever have been linked with political situation in the environment and the various communities.

“We will continue to ensure that whenever we are going to install any Oba, we will go into their records and ensure that anybody that we are putting forward will be people of impeccable character.”

Stranded LCDA officials

Meanwhile, the State government has refuted the allegation that the newly created Chairmen and their executives of the Local Government Development Areas were stranded following the failure to get offices.

The rumour has spread that the chairmen were just squatting with the already existing council chairmen.

But, in his remarks, the commissioner said the local councils are functioning well but assured that the LCDAs would soon begin to function.

The Commissioner explained that out of the 37 LCDAs, 30 of them have been given offices through the help of the government and the people of the LCDAs.

He also attributed the current economic recession in the country to the delay of the LCDAs activities and assured that the government would make sure they start functioning soon.

He said: “The government is putting in place a prototype for the newly created 37 Local Council Development Areas in the state. Only seven local council development areas do not have offices at the moment. Soon, they will get offices. The local government and the local council development areas in the state will start functioning in their various capacities soon.”

On controversies trailing vigilance service in the state, the Commissioner affirmed that Vigilante Service of Ogun state (VSO) is the only recognized vigilance body in the state.

“Ogun State Government is in charge of Ogun State. Whatever the government feels will make Ogun State prosperous will be implemented by the government. The issue of security is very sensitive. The government must trust the persons that it will entrust security to. Approval has been given to Vigilante service of Ogun State. In Ogun state, what we recognize is VSO and not Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN).”

On the Fulani herdsmen menace, Ojuko stated that the issue is beyond the control of Ogun State Government, stressing that it was a national issue.
