(MSG)1 Corinthians 11:3, 10, 13
In a marriage relationship, there is authority from Christ to husband, and from husband to wife. The authority of Christ is the authority of God. Any man who speaks with God or about God in a way that shows a lack of respect for the authority of Christ, dishonors Christ. In the same way, a wife who speaks with God in a way that shows a lack of respect for the authority of her husband, dishonors her husband. Worse, she dishonors herself---an ugly sight, like a woman with her head shaved. This is basically the origin of these customs we have of women wearing head coverings in worship, while men take their hats off. By these symbolic acts, men and women, who far too often butt heads with each other, submit their "heads" to the Head: God.
[10] Don't, by the way, read too much into the differences here between men and women. Neither man nor woman can go it alone or claim priority. Man was created first, as a beautiful shining reflection of God---that is true. But the head on a woman's body clearly outshines in beauty the head of her "head," her husband. The first woman came from man, true---but ever since then, every man comes from a woman! And since virtually everything comes from God anyway, let's quit going through these "who's first" routines.
[13] Don't you agree there is something naturally powerful in the symbolism---a woman, her beautiful hair reminiscent of angels, praying in adoration; a man, his head bared in reverence, praying in submission? I hope you're not going to be argumentative about this. All God's churches see it this way; I don't want you standing out as an exception.

LADIES, TAKE NOTE

1 – The way to a man’s heart is no longer his stomach but the quality of your brain.

2 – If your man must be Tall, Dark and Handsome then be ready to be the 2nd best because what you desire, others’ seek too.

3 – If you allow your parents’ pressure push you into marriage, you may end up a single mom.

4 – A man that slaps you before marriage will build a boxing ring after marriage. Guess who his opponent will be – YOU!

6– If what attracted him to you are your booty and the sexy legs you flaunted, the contents of your brain had better keep him, else, there are too many well-rounded and bigger booties waiting to snatch him away.

7 – Men love sex, at least 95% that I’m aware of. To him, if you can’t continue, don’t start! If you start, don’t stop! Be careful!

8 – If he doesn’t discuss future plans with you in the picture, he just want a fling, take note!

9 – Even when you trust each other, a little jealousy reminds him that you care.

10 – Men love a listener. No matter how much you want your opinion to push through, listen to his details and don’t counter it.

11 – When you are already living with him before marriage, he won’t propose quickly. So, no too vex, na you cause am!

12 – Don’t waste your years waiting for an unserious man to propose just because his parents love you, you are going to be married and live with him, not his parents.

13 – When you seek his advice, you make him feel more of a man than he is.

14 – Your encouragement or concern about his career or job works faster than listening to a motivational tape.

15 - An engagement ring isn’t an assurance for marriage, it could possibly make you his regular sex-mate. It has happened to many, u better learn.

See you on the last day bro. COZA will definitely miss you.

Christian leaders in Adamawa State are worried that the
Christians are being systematically eliminated in the areas
occupied by Boko Haram fighters in the state.
The Christian leaders, in a communiqué issued at the end of a
one day meeting held at Bishop Shehaan Pastoral Centre in Yola,
the state capital, on Tuesday, expressed displeasure with the
recent takeover of six local government areas of Madagali,
Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South and parts of Hong by the
Islamic extremists.
In the communiqué, which was read by the Archbishop of the
LCCN, Most Rev. Dr. Nemuel Babba, the leaders alleged that from
reports they had gathered from people in the occupied
territories, the militants slaughtered Christian parents an
brothers in the presence of their wives and children.
They equally said the violent Islamic sect had destroyed existing
churches in the areas.
The communiqué read, “We reject in strong terms insinuations
from certain quarters that the insurgents are mere bunch of
trigger-happy miscreants, whose intentions are to settle certain
scores with the government, owing to the towering revelations of
attacks mostly targeted at Christians.”

Who built this? Those supporters of APC will not show up to answer now. Later, they'll be quoting 1902 Epistles

Constructive Criticism is highly welcome.

All of you saying shit should be in Kwara to know what is truely happening. Kwarans are not in support of APC. The ASO EBI was given to everyone free to bribe them to come and they will still get paid stipends for coming.

LEADING cement manufacturer, Dangote Cement Plc,
weekend, announced drastic reduction of the prices of its
cement.
The new price regime announced by the Group Managing
Director/Chief Executive Officer, GMD/CEO, of Dangote Cement,
Mr. Devakumar Edwin, pegged the Dangote 32.5 cement grade at
N1,000 per 50 kg bag, while the higher 42.5 grade would sell for
N1,150 per bag.
A statement by the company at the end of a management
meeting said, however, that the new prices were exclusive of the
Value Added Tax, VAT, representing about 40 per cent discount
on the prevailing market price of the product currently sold for
N1,700 irrespective of the grade, across the country.
Edwin said the move was in line with the company’s
commitment to the nation’s dire need for the development of
infrastructure and to boost the federal and state government’s
ongoing effort to reduce the near 20 million housing deficit in
Africa’s largest economy.
He said, “we recognize the need for an increased rapid response
to the huge infrastructure and housing deficit in the country, and
one of the ways of addressing the issue is bringing the price of
building materials down to much more affordable levels
especially cement which is within our control as part of our
contribution to the transformation agenda of the Goodluck
Jonathan administration and the attainment of key milestones in
the Millennium Development Goals, MDGs.
“Since the commencement of the implementation of the
backward integration policy for cement in the country over 12
years ago, the local production capacity of the product rose
from less than three million metric tonnes per annum to about
38 million metric tonnes per annum. During the more than 12-
year period of the backward integration policy, nearly $20 billion
has been directly and indirectly injected into the Nigerian
cement industry with Dangote Cement Plc accounting for 60 per
cent of that spend.”
The GMD/CEO added that Dangote Cement Plc would continue to
ensure alignment of its corporate social responsibility with its
strategic business initiatives and will continue to evaluate its
pricing regime in Nigeria’s best interest.
Meanwhile, the timing of the initiative has confounded industry
watchers, who say that from experience, the cement market is
on the verge of entering the accelerated demand phase as the
raining season is tapering and the dry season which provides
the opportunity for increased construction and building activities
is setting in.

THE NIGERIAN NATION AGAINST GENERAL BUHARI
By Wole SOYINKA
This intervention has been provoked, not so much by the
ambitions of General Buhari to return to power at the head of a
democratic Nigeria, as by declarations of support from directions
that leave one totally dumbfounded. It would appear that some,
myself among them, had been overcomplacent about the
magnitude of an ambition that seemed as preposterous as the
late effort of General Ibrahim Babangida to aspire yet again to
the honour of presiding over a society that truly seeks a
democratic future. What one had dismissed was a rash of
illusions, brought about by other political improbabilities that
surround us, however, is being given an air of plausibility by
individuals and groupings to which one had earlier attributed a
sense of relevance of historic actualities. Recently, I published
an article in the media, invoking the possible recourse to
psychiatric explanation for some of the incongruities in conduct
within national leadership. Now, to tell the truth, I have begun to
seriously address the issue of which section of society requires
the services of a psychiatrist. The contest for a seizure of
rationality is now so polarized that I am quite reconciled to the
fact it could be those of us on this side, not the opposing
school of thought that ought to declare ourselves candidates for
a lunatic asylum. So be it. While that decision hangs in the
balance however, the forum is open. Let both sides continue to
address our cases to the electorate, but also prepare to submit
ourselves for psychiatric examination.
The time being so close to electoral decision, we can
understand the haste of some to resort to shortcuts. In the
process however, we should not commit the error of opening the
political space to any alternative whose curative touch to
national afflictions have proven more deadly than the disease. In
order to reduce the clutter in our options towards the
forthcoming elections, we urge a beginning from what we do
know, what we have undergone, what millions can verify, what
can be sustained by evidence accessible even to the school
pupil, the street hawker or a just-come visitor from outer space.
Leaving Buhari aside for now, I propose a commencing exercise
that should guide us along the path of elimination as we
examine the existing register of would-be president. That initial
exercise can be summed up in the following speculation: “If it
were possible for Olusegun Obasanjo, the actual incumbent, to
stand again for election, would you vote for him?”
If the answer is “yes”, then of course all discussion is at an end.
If the answer is ‘No’ however, then it follows that a choice of a
successor made by Obasanjo should be assessed as hovering
between extremely dangerous and an outright kiss of death. The
degree of acceptability of such a candidate should also be
inversely proportionate to the passion with which he or she is
promoted by the would-be ‘godfather’. We do not lack for open
evidence about Obasanjo’s passion in this respect. From Lagos
to the USA, he has taken great pains to assure the nation and
the world that the anointed NPN presidential flag bearer is
guaranteed, in his judgment, to carry out his policies. Such an
endorsement/anointment is more than sufficient, in my view, for
public acceptance or rejection. Yar’Adua’s candidature amounts
to a terminal kiss from a moribund regime. Nothing against the
person of this – I am informed - personable governor, but let
him understand that in addition to the direct source of his
emergence, the PDP, on whose platform he stands, represents
the most harrowing of this nation’s nightmares over and beyond
even the horrors of the Abacha regime. If he wishes to be
considered on his own merit, now is time for him, as well as
others similarly enmeshed, to exercise the moral courage that
goes with his repudiation of that party, a dissociation from its
past, and a pledge to reverse its menacing future. We shall find
him an alternative platform on which to stand, and then have
him present his credentials along those of other candidates
engaged in forging a credible opposition alliance. Until then, let
us bury this particular proposition and move on to a far graver,
looming danger, personified in the history of General Buhari.
The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the
alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History
matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of
memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we
know that human beings change. What the claims of personality
change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection
of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes
assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be
answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In
Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest
prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that
this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one
ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order.
Buhari – need one remind anyone - was one of the generals
who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with
unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he
refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were
tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power
and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the
Nigerian citizenry.
Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to
nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen
under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not,
then, perhaps the names of three youths - Lawal Ojuolape (30),
Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put
it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed
for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was
committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in
defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the
Nigerian and international community – religious, civil rights,
political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his
partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act
for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on
notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under
governance by fear.
The execution of that youthful innocent – for so he was, since
the punishment did not exist at the time of commission - was
nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators
should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we
truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to
security as provided under existing laws? And even if our
sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of
cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the
sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what
should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the
snare of power” At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully
to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very
least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence. In
the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he
has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no
regrets over this murder and would do so again.
Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely
fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime
that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went
further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That
crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being. Not
content with hammering down the freedom of expression in
general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion
of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud
our media – those battle scarred professionals did not
completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and
oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people’s campaign
for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a
democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed
– military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari
and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in
their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of
slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a
master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is
astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of
their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only
turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any
discussion of their condition.
So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street
corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet
where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by
that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic
condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all
he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so
effective after years of struggle with asthma!
Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the
pattern of his ‘corrective’ rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run
out of steam and was near universally detested – except of
course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of
profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national
condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously,
but against whom was Buhari’s coup staged? Judging by the
conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagari’s government
but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom
primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that
individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his
powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri
prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment
of guilt and/or responsibility.
And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable
politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the
nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip
locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye,
strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal
Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The
Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were
yet to eat from dustbins - escaped through the same airtight
dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment
for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in
vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all,
for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-
wing vultures, but for the military hyenas.
The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba
Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the
country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace,
he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing
permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba
Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status
since he was airborne. The delighted airport commandant,
realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into
a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked
into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in
detention. Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and
reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have
become calcified should explore the media coverage of that
saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much
prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant
levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the
slogan of ‘dis’pline’, it was nothing short of impudent.
Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several
politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the
‘judicial’ processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief
Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s
punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his
re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a
single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be
acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was
Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained
indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and
refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror.
The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely
one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of
justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress
was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as
he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of
an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting
an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he
spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association?
Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of
the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied. The
utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially
reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within
the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of
responsibility and patriotism.

Lack of website traffic is one of the most common challenges I
hear from business owners. Many report having lost a
significant percentage of their search traffic over the past year or
two, and are continuously looking for new ways to drive relevant
traffic to their site.
This article is an attempt to give marketers and business owners
a whole battery of straight-to-the-point, actionable tips for
getting traffic to your website or blog. While some of these
strategies won’t be a quick fix, you may be surprised how
quickly many of them start to generate results.
1. Focus on long-tail keywords – The days of focusing on a
single keyword for each page are long gone. Make sure
your posts include all the relevant terms and phrases
related to your topic. For help with finding long-tail
keywords, see my post How to Find LSI (Long Tail)
Keywords Once You’ve Identified Your Primary Keywords
.
2. Start a forum on your website – An active forum can quickly
begin ranking for long-tail keywords. They’re also great for
decreasing your site’s bounce rate, increasing time-on-
site, as well as building a community.
3. Start a Facebook group that drives traffic to your site – Start
a niche-specific group where members can ask questions
and get support (and don’t forget to point them back to
your site’s content where relevant).
4. Submit your blog posts to StumbleUpon – It works!
5. Promote your blog posts to your email list – This doesn’t
have to be the main focus of all your emails, but including
a link or two back to your blog posts can considerably
increase traffic, leads, and sales.
6. Answer a HARO query – Answering a pitch only take a few
minutes, and can result in great PR, high-quality inbound
links and referral traffic to your site.
7. Work on your headlines – Your headlines are what will get
people in the door, particularly when you share your blog
posts via social media; make sure they pique interest and
clearly articulate the benefit to your readers. For help with
that, see “ The Online Marketer’s Guide to Writing High-
Converting Headlines
.”
8. Join a blogging community like ProBlogger or CopyBlogger –
This is a great way to network with other bloggers, and to
cross-promote each other’s content.
9. Include links to other relevant posts on your blog – When
you write a post, always be sure to mention other posts
your readers may find helpful; this is great for SEO as well
as for increasing time-on-site, conversion rates, and
referral traffic.
10. Guest post on relevant blogs – There’s not much point
guest blogging on a site in an unrelated niche; make sure
you only contribute to highly-relevant, high-quality sites in
your niche. See “ The Ultimate, Step-by-Step Guide to
Building Your Business by Guest Blogging
.”
11. Become a columnist or contributor on a well-known website
– If you can become a guest contributor on an authority
site like Huffington Post or Forbes, you not only drive
targeted traffic to your site, but establish yourself as an
expert in your field.
12. Optimize your existing posts – Comb through your old
posts to make sure they have unique and relevant title
tags, URLS and meta descriptions.
13. Demote irrelevant Google sitelinks – While Google sitelinks
are automatically generated, you can demote URLS you
don’t want to show; this may increase the chances that the
URLS you do want listed show up. You can do this from
within Google Webmaster Tools.
14. Arrange an advertising swap – Trade banner ads with a
complimentary site in your niche.
15. Post more frequently – Neil Patel of QuickSprout found that
by posting high-quality posts 6x per week (as opposed to
5), blog traffic increased by 18.6%. Find your magic number
and commit to seeing it through. Remember that in many
cases, the traffic increases you see from blogging are
scalable.
16. Submit your posts to Reddit – Yes, this also still works.
17. Mention influencers in your tweets – When you cite, quote
or mention someone in a blog post, be sure to @ mention
them in your tweet when you promote your post.
18. Focus your energy on strategies that are working – You
don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. Study your
analytics to see your main traffic drivers, and focus on
your energy on these areas.
19. Build connections with others in your niche – I know this
sounds cliché, but building personal relationships with
other bloggers in your niche will often result in organic
inbound links and referral traffic to your site.
20. Make sure you have every relevant keyword you can think of
on your site – I’m not talking old-school keyword
spamming here. I’m talking about focusing on topical
content; and making sure you at least have the chance of
being found for all your relevant keywords, no matter how
obscure they may be.
21. Create a top 10 website post – Select the top 10 blogs in
your niche, and write a post about them. You may also
want to create a simple badge or banner those sites can
embed to show off their award.
22. Make the most of Facebook links – Be sure to include links
back to your site in your About page, in your photo
descriptions, in the comments of your posts (where
relevant), and in your milestones.
23. Get on YouTube – YouTube drives the most engaged traffic
out of all social media sites, with an average of 2.99 pages
per visit .
24. Add text to your blog post images – Try including your post
title and URL in your blog post images for optimal effect
when pinned or shared.
25. Become a member of industry Facebook and LinkedIn groups
– Offer valuable advice and info to build relationships and
drive traffic to your site.
26. Connect with bloggers who are already sending you traffic –
If someone has already linked to your site, they obviously
like what you have to say. Contact them to see if there are
other ways they could help promote your content (and vice
versa).
27. Ask a well-known blogger to guest post on your site –
They’ll likely share the post with their audience, driving
traffic to your site.
28. Respond to blog comments – Respond thoughtfully to all
comments on your blog. This is great for building
relationships, as well as for driving commenters back to
your site.
29. Add your blog to Alltop – As an aggregate for all kinds of
web content, submitting your blog increases your chances
of getting found by people looking for content in your
niche.
30. Answer Questions – Visit sites like Yahoo Answers or Quora
and answer questions relevant to your niche.
31. Write a Response Post – Respond to a controversial post in
your niche and then let the original poster know about it.
Chances are good they won’t be able to resist responding
to it on their blog.
32. Contact influential bloggers – When you write a
groundbreaking or newsworthy post, notify influencers in
your field. You may be surprised at how many link back to
your post.
33. Make proper use of categories – If you haven’t already
organized your content into relevant categories, now’s the
time. Categories are great not only for SEO, but for helping
your readers find relevant content.
34. Write landmark posts - Create at least a few long-form,
authoritative posts that will organically garner links and
attention over the long haul.
35. Comment on industry blogs - Become a regular commenter
on a popular blog in your niche to help drive referral traffic
and to establish relationships with other bloggers.
36. Interview influencers in your niche – They will be very likely
to promote the interview to their audience.
37. Share your blog posts regularly on Facebook - Post a short
excerpt from your posts to entice them to click through.
38. Share your posts on Triberr - Meet other bloggers and share
each other’s content.
39. Add your blog to Technorati – As the world’s largest blog
directory, claiming your blog should be standard procedure
for all bloggers.
