SuperSuave:
Thanks for reminding the President but take note that #1 cannot be $1

I doubt if Buhari ever made such promises cos all and sundry know this is not possible like that of Oil barrel price too.

Therefore, some of those stuffs listed above might be the handiwork of some unrepentant GEJites.... lolz

I salute your courage Rev Mbaka .... I forsee you emerging the CAN president soonest or later

He did great cos all other ministers under GEJ are clueless and a failure. That is, that doesnt mean he will be d best in this administration where change is the keyword.

Please does this mean you have the case now?

Sorry to disturb you ma

Looking at how our soldiers or military guys usually humiliate and harrass civilians who puts one this kinda T.Shirt these celebraties were putting on in this pic below makes me feel like they are discriminating and been bias.

No beef against the army or celebrities; just my opinion though

Marriage is considered as a step towards lifelong happiness and peace. It is a strong bond that unites two people forever. But at times, this bond becomes unbearable and the commitment turns into a burden. Usually, couples feel that it is things like cheating, fights, independent lifestyle, etc. that strain their relationship. However, there is more than what meets your eyes.

Some things can be so small that you might not notice them at first. And these seemingly small things can be the ones to wreak most havoc in your ‘happily ever after’ paradise. We bring you here five such common relationship mistakes that might even lead to divorce. Do not worry, we also tell you how you can mend your ways and save your marriage from disaster.

#1. Taking ‘selflessness’ for granted

In a marriage, altruism, also known as self-sacrifice or selflessness, is an idealistic word that everybody loves to hear. You feel comfortable and happy when you know that your spouse is ready to do anything to fulfil your wishes, without caring for his or her own needs. At times, you may start taking your partner’s selfless behaviour for granted, knowingly or unknowingly. Remember that every individual wants to feel important and expects respect from his or her better half.

For a happy married life, it is essential for both the partners to feel confident to express their their emotions and live with self-esteem. Each one should be able to clearly state his or her views and opinions when a decision is taken in the family. Suppression of desires and needs can never lead to happiness. It is essential to speak up about your preferences, and express your ideas in a tactful manner instead of getting into arguments.

#2. Becoming negative or sarcastic

Another common thing that can destroy your marriage is negativity. Many people express negativity towards their spouse’s views and opinions, pass sarcastic comments, mock them or show negative gestures to display their frustration and disagreement. Negativity leads to weakening of trust and the partners become distant.

To build a good relationship, it is wise to be aware of your own gestures and speech patterns, and put in the effort to eliminate all negativity from your mind. This would help to keep negativity away from your actions and words. When you do not like your spouse’s action or behaviour, always give a feedback which is not ‘you’ centric but ‘I’ centric. Tell your partner that you do not like what the other is doing, rather than accuse or point fingers.

#3. Leaving the intimacy behind

Physical intimacy in a marriage is important as it strengthens the emotional bond between the two partners. Lack of physical intimacy can lead to negativity and distance in the relationship, which can even lead to divorce.
It is not just lovemaking, but also kisses and holding hands that mean a lot in married life. These little physical contacts are important for you to establish a strong relationship. Little acts, like cuddling and hugging can also become the keys to a long and happy married life.

#4. Not defining relationship roles

Couples spend months, and at times even years, planning their wedding. They also spend time to get to know each other’s likes and interests during the courtship phase. But, what most couples fail to do is define their post-wedding roles. They expect their partner to take on the roles defined by the society, or what they have seen in their family, without realising whether the other person is comfortable in doing so or not. Say, your wife might not be comfortable being the one who waits on you hand and foot. Or, your hubby might not be comfortable with your work timings after you start a family.

Spend time talking to each other about what you are comfortable doing in your relationship. What you want from your relationship is not just a pre-wedding talk, it is also something that you need to keep revisiting again and again, to make sure that your relationship always stays on the right track.

#5. Neglecting the ‘bond’

When you are dating, you invest a lot of time and energy in your relationship. But, once you are married, you forget about it all. You get busy with your professional lives and family, so much so that you start neglecting your significant other. This especially becomes even more evident when a couple distances each other emotionally and physically, citing work and children as the reason.

Neglecting the ‘bond’ is the key culprit that tears two people apart. No matter how long you have been married or how busy you are, always take out some time for one another. Have at least a meal together every day, or take your sweetheart out on a date every other weekend. Do not neglect the bond that you two share, and never take it for granted.

To maintain a happy married life, it is essential for both partners to put some extra effort to warm up and nurture this relationship of love. So, save your relationship from these silly mistakes before it turns disasterous!

http://romanticupdates.com/2015/03/5-incredibly-silly-mistakes-that-can-definitely-end-your-marriage/

#1. Give each other pet names

Pet names are mushy, but they are cute at the same time. If you have special names for each other, then use them from time to time.

#2. Display your togetherness

From things they brought back from their vacation together to their wedding photographs, happier couples are known for showing-off such items of togetherness at their homes. This is a research-backed marriage advice that shows how proud couples are of their relationship. And, this is a ‘happy marriage’ secret that you too must steal.

#3. Compliment them

Small little compliments, thrown in every now and then, can really ignite the spark in a fading relationship. “You look lovely today” can work wonders when your wife is getting ready for a party. Or, “That shirt is looking good on you” can really make your man’s day as he gets ready for work.

#4. Smile more and more often

Do you know that a study has revealed that people who smile more have longer and happier marriages? People who smile more are said to be more joyful and positive; and that is why, they have healthier and happier relationships. So, a smile can brighten up your partner’s day and your relationship instantly; say cheese!

#5. Don’t glorify yourself and don’t correct them

Ogden Nash has said-
“To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.”

So, let go of the urge to gloat over things when you are right. Along with this, if your partner is wrong about something that is trivial or inconsequential, then too resist the urge to correct them, especially when you are in a group.

#6. Go for ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry’

Saying ‘thank you’ to your partner whenever they do something nice and special for you or those around, is a great way to make them feel loved. Also, a simple ‘sorry’ is not easy to say, but its magic just can never go amiss.

#7. Let it go

It takes a lot out of someone to apologise. So, if your partner is saying sorry then you should try to let things go and patch up. Also, when you are quarrelling always remember that the person opposite you actually cares about you and loves you.

#8. Date your spouse

Just because you are married doesn’t mean going out on a date is juvenile. Plan an impromptu outing to your partner’s favourite restaurant, and pick up a small gift or flowers for them. Also, sprinkle some excitement into your dates. Instead of going for tried and tested things, try something new and exciting. Say, going for clubbing instead of romantic dinner, or trying out a new place or a different cuisine, etc.

#9. Get friendly with their friends

Call his/her best friends over for dinner now and then. This way your partner can have fun with his or her buddies, and you too can learn a lot many things about them. This way your partner will also get to know how much you respect their individual space.

#10. Remember and recreate romantic getaways

Always remind your partner and yourself about the great times you had on your honeymoon and other romantic getaways. All those happy memories will do wonders for your relationship. What’s more? If it has been a long time since you went out for a vacation, then plan one!

#11. Keep talking about future

At times, talk about the future of your relationship. Talk about where and how you see your life together five years down the line. This kind of interest can work wonders for your marriage.

#12. Don’t let go of communication

If you have a problem with something your partner says or does, make sure you bring it up instead of letting it build up inside you. Also, instead of running towards your parents’ arms to talk about your issues, learn to talk to each other about them, as honestly as possible.

#13. Sometimes, go to bed angry

While it is a good idea to resolve your issues before they get out of hand, it doesn’t mean that you have to stress yourself out for this. There are also times when constant discussions and the acts of solution finding erode the situation further. So, take a break and talk over things next day when your mind is fresh.

#14. Never let go of intimacy

Always try to create intimate situations where you can just stare into each other’s eyes, exchange a sweet kiss, cuddle up, and forget about the world around you. This is a great way to keep the fire of passion burning bright in your relationship.

#15. Say “I Love You!”

“I love you” might be three simple and small words strung together, but they are worth their weight in gold. Make sure you tell your partner how much you actually love him/her.

So, if your relationship is stuck in a rut or you feel that you and your partner are drifting apart, add these simple and small relationship mantras in your life. These simple tips would help to add breath of fresh air in to your beautiful marriage.

Bro u dey vex o

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Kayode Aderanti, weekend, said that the command had clue of who the robbers that stormed a second generation bank last Thursday, killing three policemen and a teenager, were, assuring that it would soon round them up.

This is just as the Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abbah, has given matching orders to the Police in Lagos to re-strategise, in order to ensure that armed robbers do not unleash terror again in the state.

Investigation as gathered had begun by joint crack detectives from the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS and those from the newly instituted Tactical Operation Unit.



The operatives as gathered would also spread their dragnet to neighbouring Benin Republic where the fleeing armed men were suspected to have taken refuge.

Impeccable police sources hinted that part of the on going investigation included the monitoring of the video footage of the robbery operation recorded by an onlooker.

Aderanti who was at the scene of the robbery incident, described the death of his men as unfortunate, adding that they (policemen ) were not even attached to the bank where the gunmen stormed but acted gallantly to prevent the hoodlums from carrying out their devilish act.

Also reacting to the development, Force Public Relations Officer, Ag. Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Ojukwu told Vanguard; ‘’It’s a terrible development. We will see to the end of it. We must get them. You should know that for a long time we have not had that kind of bank robbery in Lagos State. That is why the Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abbah, has given the command matching orders to re-strategise in order to ensure that it does not occur again.’’

However , investigation revealed that the robbery incident was not the first time hoodlums would be terrorising residents of the high brow area.

Before their invasion last Thursday, it was revealed that kidnappers had been on the prowl in Lekki metropolis, with bank staff and construction firm workers as their targets.

The kidnappers as gathered, usually struck when unsuspecting bank staff would be leaving for their places of work.

Recently, a female bank staff was reportedly abducted while on her way to work but was released after payment of an unspecified amount as ransom. Another female of same bank was said to have been at the verge of being abducted last week in same metropolis but for the intervention of his colleagues. The female bank staff(names withheld ) was reportedly waiting for the staff bus when the abductors sprang out from nowhere to forcefully drag her into their waiting van. But just at the same time, the staff bus arrived and her colleagues reportedly raised an alarm which forced the kidnappers to abandon her and zoomed off in their operational vehicle.

But such testimony could not be said of Mr Emmanuel Nduka, a civil engineer whose whereabouts is yet unknown, following his disappearance since February 2, 2015.

His wife , Evelyn who is yet to come to terms with the reality of her husband’s disappearance, explained how he left their Happyland estate in Olokunla area of Lekki, home penultimate Monday , to see an unknown caller who reportedly invited him over .

According to the mother of five : “We were together in my shop where I sell provisions and food stuffs; when he had a call and told me that he was going to Abijo to see someone. Not suspecting anything sinister, I didn’t ask who he was going to meet at Abijo.

“He drove himself in his Honda Odyssey car with Registration number: QZ 143 EKY about 8pm. About 20 minutes later, he called me to say that he has bought the kerosene I asked him to buy and has gotten to the place adding that he would be coming in no distant time. Having waited for a long while and he wasn’t forthcoming, I had to call him only to discover that his phone was switched off and has remained so till now.

“I couldn’t just fathom exactly what was wrong! I became worried what might have happened to him and immediately informed the young brother while I waited till the following morning. Not seeing him, I had to trace the house of one of his friends he usually visited at Abijo. To my surprise, the friend told me he didn’t come to his place. I eventually had to report the matter at the Divisional Headquarters at Ajiwe-Ajah”, she stated.

No cause for alarm - Police

Following cases of kidnap and last Thursday’s bank robbery , residents of the high brow area are gripped with fear of who could be the next victim.

But spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Kenneth Nwosu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said there was no cause for alarm as the command had increased visibility along that corridor.
According to him: “The command is alert to its responsibility. It was because of the anticipation of all this that the CP formed a tactical operation unit to interface with the banks. We held meetings with the banks and we have been having some collaboration with them.

”We anticipated that since banks are moving to this corridor, definitely hoodlums will want to torment and because we acted proactive measures that is why we have been able to keep it within this barest minimum.”

Good morning mam, hope you had a nice weekend?

Please can you help to confirm if you have my case at your consulate now so I can go ahead with other necessary things to book appointment. NVC sent it out last week. LGS2015569044

Tashaamania:
Una bad naa

but to us, the ladies, what matters most is whoever makes us happy

My dear if you check deeply you gonna discover that most of this break-ups are as a result of the ladies' attitude or acts

I guess it would have been nice if you actually remove the "pastor" since you aren't sure that guy is a pastor or not

Tashaamania:
By saying third finger, I thought you meant engagement, I would have told you engagement isnt something to look out for, as engagements can be called off

This gat me lolz

But to be fair with you, this is so so true this days has it's now fashionable for most of our guys now to engage and disengage chics anyhow at will

sinizia:
Whoever that does not know this has no business being in love in the first place.

hmmmnn so you think? Many people are in love and know nothing about love... Some think its child's play

Have you ever wondered why it seems easy for some ladies to capture the attention of men more then others? Many times ladies think its just their looks that gives a good first impression on the opposite sex. Wrong!

Here are 10 things a guy notices first when he sees a lady:

1. Your Smile: A lady’s smile is often the very first part of a woman a guy will see. A lady with a scowl on her face is not often attractive to most men while a smiling woman is considered to be much more approachable. Your smile is one of the most expressive feature you possess.

2. Your Hair: You’d be surprised how much men pay attention to this. And surprisingly, most women get it wrong about the kind of hair that men are attracted to. I know a man who tells me a woman who plaits her hair or has it in braids is the only kind of woman he gets attracted to. For others, it might be different.

3. Your Eyes: A woman’s eyes tell a lot about her. Any confident guy would want to hold your gaze for a while. A lot of information can be shared through eye contact. Remember, ‘eyes are the window to the soul‘.

4. Your Body Language: Do you walk tall and confident? Are you slouched? Do you have an upright posture? Yes, guys do notice all these and it tells them whether to approach you or not.

5. Your Sense Of Humour: A guy would be very keen about you if he notices he can make you laugh. But he will even be more interested if you can make him laugh.

6. Your Body: Believe me ladies, this is actually one of the first things they notice! Most men have basic specs of body types they like. Big, small, curvy, straight…. When you stand in full view of a guy, believe me, this is one important thing he is checking out.

7. Your Friends: It is very likely that you’d share some traits with the kind of friends you keep. Guys know this, and so will judge you by these traits your friends possess. As the saying goes ‘Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are‘. If you have loud, rude friends, a guy might just assume this is the kind of person you are at first impression, even if you are not.

8. Your Smell: Oh yes ladies, don’t ever forget this! Your smell introduces you, and lingers after you are gone. The question is what kind of impression do you want to give with your smell? Good or bad.

9. Your Style: Do you have a great body but dressed in shabby clothes? Are you wearing the right kind of clothes and shoes for your body type? Are your clothes stylish or just plain? A guy notices these things at first glance.

10. Your Attitude: One of the most important non-physical things a guy notices about you is your attitude. No matter how beautiful or attractive a lady looks, a mean attitude can send a guy running faster than you think. I know sometimes you might be having a bad day, but try to be nice to people you are meeting for the first time. You never know who he might really be.


Ladies, what would you say is your strongest point? What do guys notice first about you?

Guys, what are some of the first things you notice in a lady?
