[b]1. Do NOT, ever, hit or abuse a woman, it's down right disrespectful, and it does not make you powerful. In fact it just shows how weak you are.

2. It's rude to stare at other women in the presence of your lady. Keep your eyes on your woman. She's there for a reason.

3. Do not brag about what you are not or brag about what you do not have. You are just deceiving yourself.

4. Stop sagging your trousers, we don't want to see your boxers, especially the dirty ones, cos it does not make you look responsible.

5. Never give yourself a haircut, barber shops are there to do just that.

6. Do not wear tight jeans that shape your package… like Danny K. We are okay with playing the guessing game. Really.

7. Never say you are almost there when you bloody well know that you are far from near. If you haven't left yet, then just say it.

8. Do not cringe in fear or panic in front of your kids or younger ones, even if there is a cause to. You are a Man for a reason! Some Men can't kill a rat....lool!

9. Do not wear shades at night, in the mall or on your forehead.

10. Do not say you'll call us back when you know you won't call back, its so annoying

11. Do not wear a gold chain with a suit, or go to the dentist and ask them to put gold teeth in your mouth. It looks errrrgly!

12. The phone tucked under your belt is not ideal, there are better places to keep your phone. Try using your pockets.

13. Never sit still while a pregnant woman stands in a bus.

14. Never compare your lover with your Ex, she has expired, face the one you're now blessed or cursed with.

15. Never compete for the mirror, they are there simply for women.

16. Do not scratch, adjust or re-package your whatever in the public, its disgusting. You can do that in somewhere more private!

17. Mama's boys, leave your mom at home. Stop talking about her, comparing every girl to her, and expecting her to do everything for you, afterall, you won't marry your momma.

18. Do not grow your pinky nail, it's a no no no!

19. Do not refuse to eat because you have a misunderstanding with your spouse. C'mon, it takes her time and energy to prepare the food.

20. Call a spade a spade: never be afraid to say what you need to say. Do not lie, women can handle the truth![/b]

Despite promises made by Iran's new President, Hassan Rowhani, that women's civil rights will improve under his government, a city councilor has been barred from office for being "too sexy"

Nina Siakhali Moradi was prevented from taking up a post on the city council in Qazvin, the ancient capital of the Persian Empire, 100 miles north west of Tehran, after her election was overturned by religious conservatives.

Even with more than 10,000 votes in the June election, putting her 14th out of 163 candidates and winning her a council seat, the 27-year-old engineer and website designer had her political career cut short because she was deemed too attractive to take up the post.

"We don't want a catwalk model on the council," a senior official in Qazvin told local press.

Moradi ran under the slogan "Young ideas for a young future," pushing for better women's rights in Qazvin, the restoration of the old city and greater youth involvement in town planning.

She had been vetted and approved as a candidate by Iran's judiciary and intelligence services.

Her liberal views appeared popular with the electorate. Moradi's campaign posters showed her wearing strict hijab without a strand of hair on display.

Despite this, conservative religious groups launched protests to demand her disqualification as soon as her election was confirmed.

In a letter to the governor of Qazvin, a coalition of religious groups condemned the "vulgar and anti-religious" posters and said they breached Islamic law.

News website IranWire reported that there were other objections to her campaign. According to the website, her headquarters became a gathering place for local young people, whose behavior and clothing provoked criticism from her opponents, mostly older conservative men.

The complaint was challenged but ultimately upheld. She was disqualified for not "observing the Islamic norms."

Citing local media, IranWire reported that authorities had also confiscated the campaign posters of two other female candidates, Maryam Nakhostin-Ahmadi and Shahla Atefeh, and detained both for questioning.

President Rowhani is expected to bring a new era in women's rights. In a televised debate during his election campaign, he announced: "I will form a women's affairs ministry to return their trampled rights to them."

Mods please i want to delete this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1398172/10-intelligence-killing-foods-need i mistakenly created it twice. Thanks in advance!

kake artist: gud to know,pls all dis conplain abt d kind of fud we shuld eat nt we shuld nt,pllSs if we avoid all dis fud wat re we goin to eat again.

No one said you should not eat this kind of foods, it comes with a clause which is for your own good. Btw, you don't have to quote the whole post just to type 2 lines, it's so annoying

When it comes to nutrition, it must be mentioned that there are all sorts of foods: some super-foods are your greatest allies against extra pounds, while others stimulate your cognitive function and improve your memory.

On the other hand, some foods are known to have a devastating effect on your brain functioning, and nutritionists advise us to consume them moderately in order to limit their negative impact. Having said that, here are the top 10 foods that kill your intelligence, slowly but surely:

1. Sugary Products

Sugar and sugary products are bad not only for your waistline, but for your brain function as well. Long-term consumption of sugar can create a wealth of neurological problems, and it can also interfere with your memory. On the other hand, sugar can also interfere with your ability to learn, this is why it is recommended to avoid pre-baked goods, sugar, corn syrup and products that are high in fructose.

2. Alcohol

Alcohol is known to harm your liver in the long run, and it also causes what is known as "brain fog". Like the name suggests, the term of brain fog refers to a feeling of mental confusion, it acts like a cloud that impacts your ability to think clearly, as well as your memory.

Have you ever noticed that you cannot remember common item names, or you cannot recall certain events or you are not sure whether they were dreams or they actually happened? This might be influenced by the high alcohol intake which impacts the balance of the brain. Fortunately, these symptoms are reversible provided that you stop consuming alcohol, or you limit your intake to one or two drinks per week.

3. Junk Food

A recent study has revealed that junk food can change the chemicals in the brains, thus leading to symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. Besides, foods that are high in fat can also trigger some symptoms that are similar to the signs of withdrawal when you stop consuming them.

These foods affect the production of dopamine, an important chemical that promotes happiness and an overall feeling of well-being. Moreover, dopamine also supports the cognitive function, the learning capacity, alertness, motivation and memory. This is why it is important to avoid all foods that contain excessive fat.

4. Fried Foods

Almost all processed foods contain chemicals, dyes, additives, artificial flavors, preservatives and such - these can affect the behavior and the cognitive functioning due to the chemical that causes hyperactivity, both in children and in adults. Fried or processed foods slowly destroy the nerve cells located in the brain. However, some oils are more dangerous than others - sunflower oil is considered to be among the most toxic ones.

5. Processed Or Pre-Cooked Foods

Just like fried foods, processed or pre-cooked foods also impact your central nervous system and they also increase the risk of developing a degenerative brain disorder later in live (such as Alzheimer's disease).

6. Very Salty Foods

Everybody knows that salty foods affect your blood pressure and they are very hard on your heart. However, as research suggests, foods that contain high amounts of salt (sodium) can affect your cognitive function and impair your ability to think. Otherwise stated, salty foods affect your intelligence!

As a matter of fact, the consumption of salty foods and nicotine have been shown to have the same effects as drugs, as they cause harsh withdrawal symptoms and cravings for salty foods.

7. Grains, Except 100% Whole Grain

All sorts of grains have an impact on your brain functioning and your overall health, except for 100% whole grain which is very rich and fiber and it is known to prevent arterial aging. If you consume regular grains, your body risks to age quicker than it is supposed to and you can also experience memory loss and brain fog. Having said that, try swapping the regular carbs for the complex carbohydrates - all you need to do is to opt for whole grain bread!

8. Processed Proteins

Proteins are the building blocks of muscles and they are very important for the proper functioning of your body. Meat is the richest source of high-quality protein, but avoid overly processed protein such as hot dogs, salami, sausages and such. Unlike the natural proteins that help your body insulate the nervous system, processed proteins do exactly the opposite. Opt for natural fish (especially tuna and salmon), dairy, walnuts and seeds as these are natural, high-quality protein sources.

9. Avoid Trans Fats At All Costs

Trans fats cause a series of problems, from heart-related issues to elevated cholesterol and obesity. However, they are bad for your brain as well, as they make your brain more sluggish, they affect your reflexes and the quality of your brain response - not to mention that they increase the risk of stroke!

Trans fats can also have other effects on your brain: if consumed for too long, they can result in a sort of brain shrinkage that is somewhat similar to the shrinkage caused by Alzheimer's disease. This brain shrinkage takes place due to the fact that trans fats slowly damage the arteries - you can prevent this and lower the stroke risk by simply limiting your intake of trans fats.

10. Artificial Sweeteners

When people try to lose weight, they tend to think that they will become slim overnight by simply replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners. It is true that artificial sweeteners do contain less calories, but they can actually do more harm than good! If used for an extended period of time, artificial sweeteners can cause brain damage and interfere with your cognitive capacity, especially if you use high amounts of sweetener.

kokoye: I'm just having fun..

Kk!

The Central Bank of Nigeria will take delivery of new naira notes before the end of September for circulation, the Deputy Director, Operations, Dr Tunde Lemo, has said.
 
The apex bank had earlier said that new naira notes would be in circulation by June, and that the smaller denomination notes (N5, N10, N20, and N50) would be reprinted on paper.
 
``We are going to take delivery of the new notes from this month of August. We will take delivery of the new notes before the end of September.
 
```The public will get a large quantity of the new notes to replace the old and mutilated notes, particularly the higher denomination notes in the first instance, then later the lower denominations,’’ he said.
 
On the scarcity of the lower denomination notes, Lemo blamed commercial banks for what he called ``poor circulation’’.
 
``For the lower denomination; well, I think the banks are really the ones that are really not allowing the lower denomination in circulation, largely, because of the carrying value.
 
``Most people don’t require small denomination. But for buying things in the market, if you look at the veracity, you find out that the N50 circulate more than the smaller ones,’’ he said.
 
Meanwhile, Lemo has urged law enforcement agencies to arrest all illegal hawkers of new naira notes.
 
He also called on commercial banks to keep watchful eyes on their staff to avoid being used as conduit for illegal transfer of new notes to unauthorised hands.
 
Lemo said this should be done to ensure effective protection of the currency from abuse.
 
``We have done all we can do in the sense that we have criminalised this in the 2007 Act.
 
``It is clear that if you hawk notes, if you abuse the currency, it is a criminal offence and it is punishable.
 
``We expect law enforcement agencies to do the arrest. We don’t have power to arrest. We know it is going on,’’ he said.
 
Lemo said commercial banks should ``dispense and pay their customers with new notes’’.
 
He said the apex bank had carried out sensitisation campaigns to inform the public and warn them about the dangers of patronising hawkers.
 
``I think that is the limit the central bank can go,’’ the deputy governor said.

[b]1. Do not shave off your eyebrows only to redraw them with a pencil… it makes no sense.

2. Do not put on too much make up, you end up looking like you came out of the make-up factory.

3. Do not wear a vest or sleeveless top without shaving your armpits or without a bra underneath.

4. Do not leave chipped nail polish to wear off on its own, there’s a reason why they sell nail polish remover.

5. If you can’t afford good quality weaves, don’t bother.

6. Do not do artificial nails that makes you look like a drag queen, simple is αℓωαчs sexy.

7. See-through leggings or a top used as a dress when you are out in public is a hell- to-the-no!

8. Never do things for a man with a hope of getting something in return, expectations are dangerous. Do it because you simply want to.

9. Never contradict what your man says - in public.

10. Never stalk the man that left you for the other woman.

11. Do not share your best friend’s personal life with every Tom, Dickk and Harry.

12. Women should never act on distress in relationships like checking your man’s phone, nagging him to death, and acting like a paranoid freak. You will simply release him to someone else by doing so.

13. Never dish out your entire family drama on a first date. The guy just wants to know about you.

14. Stop obsessing over your body. It’s good to eat healthy and work out but let’s leave it at that.

15. Never over-accessoriz­e. stop looking like a Christmas tree.

16. Never leave home without lipgloss, your phone and most of all, your dignity.

17. Never leave your used sanitary towel in the toilet for the next person to see.
Women please!

18. Never wear very high heels if you can’t do the Naomi Campbell walk. You look like a drunk grasshopper.

19. Never wear short skirts and low cut tops when off to an interview. You will create the wrong impression.

20. And finally, ‘Never wish to be like any other woman. There are others out there envying you for who you are’[/b]

Watching closely!

The leader of Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamists has claimed a series of recent deadly attacks on security forces in the northeast, in a video obtained by AFP Monday.

Abubakar Shekau also insisted that he was in "good health" despite an ongoing military offensive aimed at crushing the Islamist insurgent group he heads.

"You have not killed Shekau," he said in the video distributed through a local intermediary in a similar manner to previous Boko Haram messages.

Seated on a short stool with a kalashnikov rested on his right shoulder, Shekau said Boko Haram was "responsible" for several deadly raids over the past month.

These include attacks on the police and military in the towns of Malam Fatori and Bama, which sparked clashes that killed at least 35 people, according to the military.

The video contained what Shekau claimed was footage of Boko Haram gunmen opening fire on the military in Bama, using heavy weapons mounted on flat-bed trucks.

Shekau also referred to fighting in the towns Baga and Gamboru Ngala near the border with Cameroon, .

The Boko Haram leader has been declared a global terrorist by the United States, which in March put a $7 million (5.3 million euros) bounty on his head.

"I'm challenging Obama," Shekau said in the video. He voiced similar challenges to French President Francois Hollande and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"They are no match for me," he proclaimed.

Having contacted EFCC operatives and they confirmed that the former governor was still in interrogation and they did not whether he would be released by tonight.

The interrogation is related to allegations of massive fraud that attended his tenure as governor for 8 years in Kwara State.

It has been alleged that he has been receiving 100 million naira monthly as an illegal pension from the current government of Kwara state.

The fraud & illegal pension was first detected at First City Merchant Bank in Lagos.
