ma lady,my top 3 best female artist,i'm not particularly happy with her new trend joining pop music,even though i still like her shake it off and blankspace

but ii just think she wont soar in her new genre,she was better off a country artist,she dominated that spot,i've listened to virtually all her country songs

though i have the 1989 album,i jst dont listen to it that frequent

what ya think?

I dont totally agree with you.. yes she dominated in country music that mean she can't dominate in other genres. She is going beyond her comfort zone and that is one of the ways she can grow.

Though I personally don't like her new style of music.

Lordaweezy:

Khalessi has always wanted kings landing. Xo i dont think she will forge any empire in d east.

she might want kings landing but will first want to conquer and rule all east before she sets for west... but dat will probably be in other forthcoming seasons not in dis season

Immortal technique- Dance with the devil

Wat are ur predictions In this season

Ah see khalessi not coming back to kings landing rather she will forge her own empire in the east

Stannis will align with marcus in order to wage war on kings landing

RSAMAN:
you still call me a newbie. you haven't contributed much to the debate we had other than call me newbie and naija rap fan(of which i proved otherwise). Be more mature and Let's make a deal, you can suggest an album i should listen to from my collection, i once downloaded music from similar artists you like because i wanted to try out that particular kind of music, yes i did try out those artists but found that i don't like that kind of music, i'm not just making some baseless arguements and calling anything i haven't tried out shiiiitt, i'll just give you the album names i have tried, you'll just pick one and i'll happily go back and give them another chance and listen to them. In turn, since you don't have my favourite artists albums on your hard drive, i will suggest just an album you should download from the internet. And if you think what i recommended was shiiiitt then i will happily agree that i'm a newbie; That will be more mature than calling someone a newbie by judging his favorite artists without having given them a listen and not knowing what kind of music they make. Are we on with the deal?

When I hear Nigerians or Christians in
general say things like "I'm disappointed
at this or that man of God", I shake my
head, sigh, weep mentally and direct my
anger at Amadioha and his cousin Sango
for not striking you all dead!!!
That time it was Oyedepo with his
millionaire-only school that was built
with the offerings of non-millionaires.
The same man has a couple of private
jets and is said to be the richest pastor
in the WORLD! I also remember the time
he slapped a "demon-possessed" person
in the full glare of the whole world
asking "do you know who I am?".... They
said "I am disappointed in Oyedepo"
Then Oritsejafor came with his own
private jet, coupled with the funny
money seized in South Africa.. They said:
"I'm disappointed in oritsejafor"
it never seizes to amaze me how people
still allow Chris Okotie to conduct their
wedding when he jumps in and out of
marriages like say na Lagos buses... When
next he divorces, people will say "I'm
disappointed in Okotie"
Then came the issue of the other Chris,
Oyakhilome and his messy divorce issue..
I no need talk much about this matter
because people are still saying "I'm
disappointed in Oyakhilome"
Now its Rev. Fr. Mbaka.. You see ehn,
when you go to the east, especially
Enugu, Mbaka is a demi-god.. Bleep it he
is a god!!! People flock to his prayer
ground every friday like they didn't go
there the previous week!! He sells
everything from CD's to cloth material
to holy water to yoghurt and bottled and
pure water (which they say can cure
anything), The same man endorsed Ikedi
Ohakim to rule Imo State.. he lost.. The
same man was all smiles few weeks back
when he was with "Diariz God o", saying
GEJ must win the election, only for him
to speak to the other side of his mouth,
saying GEJ will lose... My question is...
ARE YOU PEOPLE MAD? or have you
decided to use the brain in your head?
NO MAN OF GOD CAN SOLVE YOUR
PROBLEM....
Instead of saying stupid things like "I'm
disappointed in this or that man of God"
I suggest you say stuff like "I'm
disappointed in myself. I have no brain...
Dear load, re-install wisdom in my
system, I lost it when this man of God
formatted my memory card"
By the way, I hope you people have left
your holiday bullshit... Get to work or get
fired and stay hungry...

Here are some of those
beliefs... no. Wait. Before
you comment that my point
of view is shallow and
materialistic, read this to
see why I feel this is the
only definition of success
that matters . (Hint: success
has nothing to do with fame
or fortune.)

With that out of the way,
here are some of the core
beliefs of incredibly
successful people:

1. "I can choose myself."

Once you had to wait: to be
accepted, to be promoted, to
be selected... to somehow be
"discovered."
Not anymore. Access is
nearly unlimited; you can
connect with almost
anyone through social
media. You can publish
your own work, distribute
your own music, create
your own products, attract
your own funding.
You can do almost anything
you want — and you don't
have to wait for someone
else to discover your talents.
The only thing holding you
back is you — and your
willingness to try.

2. "Success is inevitable only
in hindsight."

Read stories of successful
entrepreneurs and it's easy
to think they have some
intangible
entrepreneurial something
— ideas, talent, drive, skills,
creativity, whatever — that
you don't have.
Wrong. Success is inevitable
only in hindsight. It's easy
to look back on an
entrepreneurial path to
greatness and assume that
every vision was clear,
every plan was perfect,
every step was executed
flawlessly, and tremendous
success was a foregone
conclusion.
It wasn't. Success is never
assured. Only in hindsight
does it appear that way.
If you're willing to work
hard and persevere, who
you are is more than
enough. Don't measure
yourself against other
people.
Pick a goal and measure
yourself against that
goal — that is the only
comparison that matters.

3. "I am not self-serving. I
am a servant."
No one accomplishes
anything worthwhile on his
own. Great bosses focus on
providing the tools and
training to help their
employees better do their
jobs — and achieve their
own goals. Great consultants
put their clients' needs first.
Great businesses go out of
their way to help and serve
their customers.
And as a result, they reap
the rewards.
If you're in it only for
yourself, then someday you
will be by yourself. If you're
in it for others, you'll not
only achieve success —
you'll also have tons of
friends.


4 "I may not be the first ...
but I can always be the
last."

Success is often the result of
perseverance. When others
give up, leave, stop trying,
or compromise their
principles and values, the
last person left is often the
person who wins. Other
people may be smarter,
better connected, more
talented, or better funded.
But they can't win if they
aren't around at the end.
Sometimes it makes sense to
give up on ideas, projects,
and even businesses — but
it never makes sense to give
up on yourself.
The one thing you can
always be is the last person
to give up on yourself.

5. "I will do one thing every
day no one else is willing to
do."

Just one thing. Even if it's
simple. Even if it's small.
Do one thing every day.
After a week, you'll be
uncommon. After a month,
you'll be special.
After a year, you will be
incredible.

6. "I don't build networks. I
forge lasting connections."


Often the process of building
a network takes on a life of
its own and becomes a
numbers game.
You don't need
numbers. You need real
connections: people you can
help, people you can trust,
people who care.
So, forget numbers. Reach
out to the people whom you
want to be part of your life,
even if just your
professional life, for a long
time. And when you do,
forget about receiving and
focus on providing; that's
the only way to establish a
real connection and
relationship.
Make lasting connections
and you create an extended
professional family. You'll
be there when they need
you... and they will be there
when you need them.

7. "Strategy is important,
but execution is
everything."

Strategy is not a product.
Binders are filled with
strategies that were never
implemented.
Develop an idea. Create a
strategy. Set up a
rudimentary system of
operations. Then execute,
adapt, execute some more,
and build a solid operation
based on what works.
Success isn't built on
strategy. Success is built
through execution .
Incredibly successful people
focus on executing
incredibly well.

8. "Real leadership is
measured in years, not
moments."

"Leaders" aren't just the
guys who double the stock
price in six months, or the
gals who coerce local
officials into approving too-
generous tax breaks and
incentives, or the guys who
are brave enough to boldly
go where no man has gone
before.
(If you don't get that last
reference, you're too young.
Or I'm too old. Probably
both.)
Those are examples of
leadership — but typically
the kind of leadership that is
situational and short-lived.
Incredible leaders can
consistently inspire,
motivate, and make you feel
better about yourself than
even you think you have a
right to feel. They're the
kind of people you'll follow
not because you have to but
because you want to. You'll
follow them anywhere.
And you'll follow them
forever, because they have a
knack for making you feel
like you aren't actually
following. Wherever you're
headed, you always feel like
you're going there together.
Creating that bond takes
time.

9. "Work comes first.
Payoff comes later."

Ever heard someone say, "If
I got promoted, then I would
work harder"? Or, "If the
customer paid more, then I
would do more"? Or, "If I
thought there would be a
bigger payoff, I would be
willing to sacrifice more"?
Successful people earn
promotions by first working
harder. Successful
businesses earn higher
revenue by first delivering
greater value. Successful
entrepreneurs earn bigger
payoffs by first working
hard, well before any
potential return is in sight.
Most people expect to be
compensated more before
they will even consider
working harder.
Incredibly successful people
see compensation as
the reward for exceptional
effort, not the driver —
whether that reward is
financial, or personal, or
simply the satisfaction that
comes from achieving what
you worked incredibly hard
to achieve.

10. "I can make history —
and I will."

You may not make it onto
the pantheon of great
entrepreneurs. Yours may
not become a household
name.
But think about the past ten
years: technologies,
industries, and ways of
doing business that were
once notions are now
commonplace. You can be
part of the next wave —
whatever it might be. Or
you can make a small
change your industry. Or
you can make a small
change in your profession.
You can be at the forefront
of a minor or major change,
even if only in your
community or niche. You
just have to be willing to try
something new.

Happy new year

wat of buhari disease
wat of buhari disease

WHY is it difficult for us to raise
fresh blood, with fresh and dynamic
ideas to steer the affairs of this
country? I do not know. We have the
Fasholas, Oshiomholes, Amaechis,
Ribadus before he switched over to
the PDP and so many other vibrant
fellows in the APC party, yet, they
have again, chosen to go the recycled
route by bringing in Mohammadu
Buhari as their presidential
candidate. Is Mohammadu Buhari the
real deal?
Going through the book “ MKO
ABIOLA-TO MAKE WHOLE AGAIN”
by Abimbola Awofeso, published by
Update Communications Limited
1990, from pages 15 to 24, you will
find an assessment of Mohammadu
Buhari’s administration. By the way,
Awofeso is also a nephew to the
great sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
The chapter is titled; “All-Round
Misery: Retrenchment, Roll-Back….”
I quote from page 18 “….since the
Buhari administration came to power,
its policy on public sector spending
has resulted in all round misery:
retrenchment of public sector
workers, roll back in social services,
particularly in the area of health
care, the re-introduction of school
fees, the closure of educational
institutions, the re-imposition of
certain obnoxious taxes and levies
and the suspension of new capital
projects.
All these have negative implications
for the country’s long range
development….with such deflationary
policies as has been put in place by
the Buhari regime, shows that we are
headed for unmitigated disaster. As
for the planned privatization, this is
no more than a camouflage for
concentrating the nation’s wealth in
ever fewer hands……still, it cannot
be said that its attempt at
streamlining import licensing and
foreign exchange disbursement
procedure has been a roaring
success. Racketeering persists and
those who have no business having
import licenses still do so.
The government’s performance in the
area of debt management is even
poorer. Apart from the questionable
wisdom of using over 40 per cent of
the country’s export earnings to
service debts, it is open to question
whether the government has fully
investigated and verified all the
outstanding debt obligations it is
now attempting to settle……In the
area of inflation and distribution,
the government successes, if any,
have been limited. Officially
estimated at about 40 percent the
rate of inflation is still debilitating
to the generality of Nigerians whose
incomes, under the income policy
guidelines, are not expected to
increase substantially (especially for
those in paid employment).
As for distributive trade, the major
actors of old appear to have been
back in business; the Lebanese and
Levantine merchandisers still control
that business with the result that
prices are still high and scarcities
persist…….If there is any area of
public policy in which the present
government has been most inactive,
that area has to do with the problem
of unemployment…..It is a sad
commentary on government’s
commitment to tackling
unemployment that although it set
up a committee sometime last year
to study the matter, as at this
moment, the report of that
committee is yet to be made public,
let alone implemented..”
The above was the assessment of
Buhari’s administration as
highlighted in the above quoted book.
There is more but due to space
constraintone cannot highlight more
which accounts the very little
sympathies and resistance when he
was overthrown from government.
That is the man our present day
progressives are trumpeting as the
messiah that will bring the much
needed change for this country. Ex-
president Olusegun Obasanjo once
stated publicly that: “You cannot
change a man in old age”, in
reference to the late Adedibu’s
excesses.
The big challenge for this country is
producing the right leadership, not,
a has been, with very obvious and
questionable credentials. What this
country needs now, is a radical
departure from the normal. We need
a youthful, focused, detribalised,
enlightened, idea filled and go-
getter leader who is able to ‘walk his
talk.’
Recycling is bad. It is even worse
when the individual we are promoting
has passed his prime. That was how
Obasanjo was brought in, the result
of his actions and inactions are still
reverberating till date. Incidentally,
people are still running to him for
directions. Every fault of Jonathan
is rooted in Obasanjo; he planned,
masterminded and executed the
ascension of Jonathan to power. He
also trained him in government, the
PDP way, the platform Obasanjo
instituted, which is the one the PDP
is religiously using till date.
We are very forgetful in this country
and lazy at recollecting the past. Our
leaders are always leading us on the
path of perdition, for their own
selfish purpose(s), not for the
general interest of the people. That
is the choice the APC has made with
Buhari as their presidential
candidate. One can only wish them
good luck.
Mr. Sunny Ikhioya, a commentator on
national issues, wrote from Lagos.

Here are the top 10 public
speaking habits presenters
should avoid at all costs,
along with their potential
consequences and remedies:

1. Not tailoring your
message to your audience.
As Benjamin Disraeli once
said, "Talk to a man about
himself and he will listen
for hours." On the other
hand, if you don't talk to
your audience about
themselves, they most likely
won't listen, Price says.
"Speakers frequently fall
into the bad habit of giving
generic off-the-shelf
presentations that are not
tailored to address the needs
of this particular audience.
Listeners know when the
speaker has not done their
homework, and their
response ranges from
disappointment and
frustration to anger and
disengaging."
To avoid this, ask yourself:
"Who is my audience? What
are their burning issues?
How does my message help
them? How much do they
know about my topic? What
will I ask them to do in
response to my message?
"All the best practices in
public speaking depend upon
this first tenet: Know Your
Audience."
2. Eye dart . From beginners
to veterans, the majority of
speakers fail to maintain
meaningful, sustained eye
contact with their listeners.
"Unconsciously, their eyes
scurry from person to
person, darting around the
room, without ever pausing
to actually see the recipients
of their message," Price says.
"A lack of eye contact
implies a list of offenses:
insincerity, disinterest,
detachment, insecurity,
shiftiness, and even
arrogance."
To visually connect,
maintain eye contact for at
least two to three seconds
per person, or long enough
to complete a full phrase or
sentence. Effective eye
communication is the most
important nonverbal skill in
a speaker's toolbox.
3. Distracting mannerisms.
There are at least 20
common tics to tackle,
including: clenching or
wringing your hands, pacing
back and forth, keeping
your hands in pockets,
jingling change or keys,
twisting your ring, gripping
the lectern, licking your
lips, adjusting your hair or
clothing, fidgeting with a
pen, bobbing your head,
placing your arms behind
your back, and touching
your face. "One or more of
these habits can distract the
audience from your message
and jeopardize your
credibility," Price explains.
As a remedy, record yourself
speaking and watch the
playback. "Practice often to
increase your comfort level
and reduce anxiety. Take a
public speaking class or
enlist the help of a local
coach to eliminate
distracting mannerisms and
habituate purposeful
movement."
4. Not rehearsing . Most
proficient presenters
prepare. "That is, they know
the topic, organize their
content, design a slide deck,
and study their notes," she
says. However, according to
a recent survey Price
conducted, less than 2% of
over 5,000 business
presenters in Fortune 100
companies actually conduct
a dress rehearsal and
practice their presentation
aloud. This bad habit results
in the audience seeing and
hearing the unrefined run-
through, versus the finessed
final performance. "
To optimize their perception
of you and get the outcome
you want, perform the
entire presentation aloud at
least once, and the opening
and closing at least three
times," she suggests.
5. Low energy . "As the
Guinness World Record
holder for the most
performances in the same
Broadway show, George Lee
Andrews is famous for
playing the role of Monsieur
André in The Phantom of
the Opera," Price says.
"Surely, he must have felt
tired during at least one or
two of his 9,382
performances, but he didn't
show it considering his
contract was renewed 45
times over 23 years."
Enthusiasm, defined as eager
enjoyment and active
interest, is an audience's
most desired trait in a
presenter. Conversely, a
boring delivery — evidenced
by a low monotone voice,
dull facial expressions, and
overall lethargy — is their
most disliked trait.
"To avoid losing your
audience in a New York
minute, crank up the energy
level. Speak expressively,
smile sincerely, move
naturally, and enjoy the
moment."
6. Data dumping. "It's
understandable. After all,
our credibility is on the line
when we stand up and speak
out," Price says. "So, to be
safe, we focus almost
entirely on what Aristotle
called Logos, which
includes the left-brain
functions of logic, language,
analysis, reasoning, critical
thinking, and numbers."
When we rely too heavily
on this type of content, we
end up talking too long,
reading too many over-
crowded illegible slides, and
turning our backs on the
most important element of
all: the audience. "Ditch the
habit of data dumping," she
suggests. "It loses the
audience and undermines
your innate ability to
inspire, connect, and
persuade."
7. Not inspiring . Even more
vital to persuasion than
Logos, says Aristotle, is
Pathos, which includes the
right-brain activities of
emotions, images, stories,
examples, empathy, humor,
imagination, color, sounds,
touch, and rapport, Price
says. "Tomes of studies show
human beings typically
make decisions based on
emotions first (Pathos); then ,
we look for the facts and
figures to justify it (Logos).
Audience members do the
same. With your words,
actions, and visuals, seek
first to inspire an emotion
in them (joy, surprise, hope,
excitement, love, empathy,
vulnerability, sadness, fear,
envy, guilt). Then, deliver
the analysis to justify the
emotion."
An engaging, memorable,
and persuasive presentation
is balanced with both
information and inspiration.
"It speaks to the head and
the heart, leveraging both
facts and feelings," she says.
8. Lack of pauses. Many
speakers have the bad habit
of rushing through their
content. Like a runaway
train, they speed down the
track out of control unable
to stop and turn at critical
junctures. The causes are
often anxiety, adrenalin, or
time constraints, Price says.
"Regardless of the reason,
the three times you
definitely want to pause
include: before and after
you say something very
important which you want
your audience to remember;
before and after you
transition from one key
talking point to the next;
and between your opening,
main body and closing."
When you consciously use
silence as a rhetorical
device, you'll come across as
more self-confident, your
message will be more
impactful, and your
audience will remember
more of what you say.
9. Not crafting a powerful
opening. "According to
Plato, 'The beginning is the
most important part of the
work.' Yet, it's a common
bad habit for speakers to
waste those precious
opening seconds rambling
pointlessly, telling a joke,
reading an agenda,
apologizing needlessly, all of
which fail to grab the
audience's attention and
motivate them to listen," she
says. You, your message,
and your audience deserve
much more.
So, open with a bang. Invest
the thought, time and effort
to craft and memorize "the
most important part of the
work." For example, tell an
engaging relevant story;
state a startling statistic; or
ask a thought-provoking
question.
10. Ending with Q&A.
There's a good chance
you've heard a speaker end
an otherwise effective
presentation with an abrupt,
'That's it. Any questions?'
"For the audience, it's like a
firework with a wet fuse,
otherwise known as a 'dud,'"
Price says. "Your grand
finale is your last chance to
reinforce your key points,
ensure the memorability of
your message, and motivate
the audience to
action. Avoid the bad habit
of closing on Q&A, which
risks ending your
presentation on a non-
climatic down-in-the-weeds
topic."
It's fine to invite the
audience's comments and
questions; however, be sure
to end strong. "Craft an
effective three-part closing
where you deliver a strong
summary; present a call-to-
action; and conclude with a
powerful closing statement.
Develop the habit of saying
last what you want your
audience to remember
most .

Whenever we speak of intimacy, the first thing that comes into people’s minds is sex. I don’t know about you, but the last time I had intimate sex was… hell, I can’t even remember.

Sex can be intimate, but more often than not it isn’t. Intimacy is closeness, and although we certainly get physically close during sex, mentally we can be miles apart.

True intimacy relies on knowledge — on knowing people just as well, if not better, than they know themselves. It’s not difficult for men to become more intimate with their women.

Not as difficult as one might think… but you are going to have to make the effort. Here are a few things you’ll want to try:

1. Tell her she’s beautiful.

There is no shortage of men who are willing to compliment women on a daily basis. The difference between them and you, however, is that when you tell the woman you love that she’s beautiful, it isn’t with ulterior motives.

You don’t tell a thousand women whatever they want to hear just to sleep with them. You are telling the woman you love that, in that moment, she is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen.

When a woman knows you find her so positively stunning — inside and out — she’ll never have to worry about you straying or your feelings faltering. Trust is the most intimate thing two people can share.

2. Write her a love letter.

There’s plenty that can be said without words, but every woman wants to hear how much you love her.

Give her a physical thing that she can go back and reference whenever she misses you or feels uncertain of your love, and she’ll feel much more secure — and happier.

You don’t have to be a good writer to write a good love letter. Just put into words — the best you can — why she means the world to you. Don’t type it; write it by hand so that when she looks at the words, she feels that it’s you who wrote them.

3. Take a vacation together.

One of the best ways to become more intimate with your lover, to get to know and understand her more deeply, is to take a long trip together. Not just a weekend — two weeks minimum.

Intimacy is all about getting close to the other, and there is no better way to understand a woman better than to throw yourselves into an irregular or uncommon situation.

People are very good at keeping up façades when they’re feeling comfortable, when they’re surrounded by familiar surroundings.

Take that individual and place her in the middle of the unknown, the inexperienced, and you get to see her at her most intimate and basic levels — the level at which she is forced to take in novel information and then use that information to make real time judgements and decisions.

4. Take care of her when she’s sick and allow her to take care of you when you’re sick.

If you want to become more intimate with your partner, then you are going to have to accept her, not only at her best, but also at her worst. I’m sorry ladies, but no woman — or man for that matter — looks good when she’s coughing up a lung.

When your woman is sick, she is — quite literally — at her most vulnerable. Think about the way you feel and act when you physically feel horrible. I’d bet my life that you aren’t the jolly, pleasant person you usually are.

That’s why letting her see you when you’re at your most vulnerable is also extremely intimate. You can see how far she’s willing to go for you, and how much of you you’re willing to show.

5. Sleep with her (without having sex).

It’s easy to share a bed with a woman, whether you love her or not. The harder part is not making a move when the beautiful woman next to you says she isn’t ready or she isn’t in the mood.

Embracing a woman tenderly with no intention of taking it further means your feelings extend past the normal libidinal urges you suffer from. Cuddling a woman because you love her means needing to be close to her because it makes you happy.

This kind of happiness lasts more than a night — it lasts for a lifetime.

6. Stare into each other’s eyes for extended periods of time.

There is little in the world that makes us feel more uncomfortable than extended periods of eye contact. They say that the eyes are the windows to our souls — and I don’t think they, whomever they may be, are wrong.

Looking deep into your lover’s eyes most likely won’t show you her deepest inner secrets, but it will show you how comfortable the two of you are with each other.

The longer you’re able to stare, the more comfortable the two of you are. If you want to break down whatever barriers are left in your relationship, focus on more eye contact.

7. Meet the family.

A person is not just a person. She’s a combination of all the people she was influenced by growing up — primarily, her family. We base all our relationships in life on the relationships we have with our family members.

They are our oldest relationships, and because we formed them in our earliest years, they greatly shaped the way we perceive interpersonal interaction and relationships.

You can often learn more about your partner from the people she surrounded herself with than you can learn from her herself.

8. Spend the holidays together.

Human beings are creatures that focus much of their energy on holding on to traditions. Sadly, this makes progress incredibly difficult as no one especially enjoys change. However, there is much to be said about the importance of healthy traditions.

Keep in mind that the traditions she has now are more than likely the traditions that she’ll want to pass down to you and the children you have together.

It’s always a good idea to spend time with the people you want to get to know better in moments of tradition and celebration. It allows for an understanding that few other instances allow for.

9. Absolutely nothing.

The most intimate thing two people can ever do is absolutely nothing. Consider how difficult it is for most of us to do nothing at all on our own. We feel restless, uncomfortable, bored.

Now, imagine lying next to the love of your life and not doing anything other than sucking in the reality around you, breathing in the moment and each other. Intimacy doesn’t just involve action. It doesn’t just involve the attainment of information or better understanding.

The purest form of intimacy is simply living together — not living in the sense of sharing an apartment, but living in the sense of breathing and listening to your heart beat.

If you and the woman you love feel comfortable doing nothing at all together then you’ll likely feel comfortable with just about everything else.

Chinese man offers to ‘rent’
girlfriend to other people for just
$1,5 an hour in order to raise
money to buy the new iPhone 6
A Chinese man has offered to
‘rent’ his girlfriend out to other
men so that he can raise money to
buy the latest model of iPhone.
He invited interested passers-by
to log on to a nearby wifi network
in order to check out images of his
21-year-old girlfriend Xiao Ai, who
can be ‘rented’ for just $1,5 an
hour – although the man insists ‘no
funny business’ can take place on
dates he suggests should be
focused around dinner or studying.
Wei Chu apparently offered to rent
out his girlfriend in a desperate
attempt to fund the purchase of
one of Apple’s eagerly awaited
iPhone 6 handsets.
He was photographed outside
Songjiang University as crowds of
interested men gathered around.
Seemingly aware that potential
customers may want to spend
various lengths of time with his
partner, Wei Chu’s offer is broken
into various pricing categories:
$1,5 an hour, $7.5 per day and $75
per month.
According to posters on Weibo, he
claimed his girlfriend was a willing
participant in the scheme, which
was advertised online under the
slogan: ‘Sharing girlfriend for
pocket money.’ Individuals interested in taking up
the offer were given a short
biography of the man’s girlfriend,
including details on her height,
weight and hobbies.
Wei Chu also made clear that the
offer was in no way a sexual way –
explaining that customers would be
given the option to take his
girlfriend on dinner or study dates.
‘Service items include but are not
restricted to: eating together,
studying together, saving seats (in
libraries/classrooms), three-person
dates.
Fees generated during dates
should be split,’ his placard read.
Wei Chu’s unorthodox
entrepreneurship is just one
extreme method of raising money
to pay for the latest iPhone
installment.
Earlier this week, a Saudi Arabian
man asked his future brother-in-
law for an iPhone 6 as a dowry for
marrying his sister, according to
the International Business Times.
Meanwhile, following the launch of
the iPhone 5 last year, a Chinese
couple were charged with human
trafficking after admitting selling
three of their newborn babies for
$13,000 between 2008 and 2013 in
order to pay for luxury items
including an iPhone.
