Celebrities / Nollywood’s Ufuoma Mcdermott Loses Brother by Techknowng(m): 3:38pm On Sep 13, 2017
Nollywood’s Ufuoma McDermott has lost her brother, Uvie Eseoghene Ejenobor to kidney disease. he died 11th September after battling the ailment to no avail.
She wrote:
“No questions asked oh Lord. I don’t understand it but I trust you. My picture hating brother; Uvie Eseoghene Ejenobor passed away on 9/11 2017.
I wish I could blame someone or something but it was simply his time. Thank you for your prayers and concern. He has gone to be with the Lord.

He fought. He fought hard but the pains were stronger. He gasped with every strength thinking his kidneys would respond, but it pleased God to ease his suffering. Like a true Son of a champ he passed as he was strapped to the dialysis machine committing his soul to his maker.
We have cried. We have wailed. We pray for peace and strength at this time. We pray for an extra covering of grace. Grace to carry this burden.”

Romance / 50 Intimate Questions To Ask Your Partner by Techknowng(m): 8:02am On Sep 12, 2017
When you're in a relationship with someone, certain conversations become accessible that would have never been an option if you weren't in one. Having romantic and intimate talks with your partner can be both fun and informative. It can help strengthen your bond, as you and your partner will speak of things that don't typically come up in platonic relationships. It can also enhance your love life, teach you about your partner's thoughts, and increase the level of overall intimacy within your relationship.
The depth of any romantic connection is defined by how well you and your partner know the inner workings of each other's minds: those central thoughts that stay locked away from everyone except for one's self. The following is a group of intimate questions to ask of your partner. In conversations like these, unpleasant memories and feelings are bound to arise from time to time, so remember to treat the questions with delicacy and consideration.$ROMANCE-TIPS-OPTIN$

1) If all of life's constraints were eliminated, what would you want to do every day?

2) How long do you see our relationship lasting?

3) How important is marriage to you? How important are children and family? Do you have a personal timeline set for such things?

4) How would you like for your life to change in the next five years? Do you see me as a part of this change?

5) What about me stands out the most to you?

6) Do you have needs in your life that are not being met? What can I do to help with those needs?

7) Would you remain with me if you discovered that I couldn't bear children? If I had a criminal record? If I had a lot of debt? If I had a terminal disease?

cool Would you stay with me if I were in an accident that scarred my appearance for life?

9) Have I ever hurt you in any way that you haven't told me about?

10) What thoughts make you unhappy?

11) What could I do that would make you believe that I love you?

12) What could I do that would make you love me more?

13) Have you ever questioned the existence of love?

14) Is there a point in your past that you regret more than anything else?

15) Do you ever dwell on past occurrences? Would you like to erase certain memories from your mind?

16) Do you feel as though you could tell me anything?

17) Do you still have feelings for someone from your past?

18) Why were you initially attracted to me?

19) How important is physical attraction to you?

20) Would you be hurt if I had still had feelings for someone from my past?

21) When did you have your first kiss?

22) When did you lose your virginity? How did it happen?

23) How many people have you slept with?

24) Have you ever cheated in a relationship? Why? What were the circumstances? If not, how close have you come to doing so?

25) Do you ever have dreams about sex? What specifically?

26) What do you fantasize about? Is there any particular fantasy that you'd like to make a reality? How would you feel about role playing?

27) How would you define a good sexual relationship?

28) Do you masturbate? How often?

29) Would you be hurt if I masturbated, fantasizing about other people? What if I only masturbated fantasizing about you?

30) In an ideal intimate relationship, how often would you have sex?

31) How do you feel about the merits of pornography?

32) How was your parents' marriage? Would you have considered theirs a good relationship?

33) What about me would you change?

34) What would you change about yourself?

35) How would you define love?

36) When you talk about me to others, what do you say?

37) When I talk about you to others, what would you like for me to say?

38) What moment in your past would you like to return to? Why?

39) In which of your past relationships were you the happiest? Why did that relationship end?

40) When a conflict arises, how do you react?

41) What would you consider the greatest obstacle you've ever had to face? How did you overcome it?

42) What would you consider your greatest accomplishment in life? What would you like to be the greatest accomplishment of your entire life?

43) What moment in your past would you most like to forget?

44) Do you have nightmares? What happens in them?

45) Have you forgiven yourself for your wrongdoings?

46) Do you believe in a power greater than humanity? How do you incorporate this belief, or lack thereof, into your life?

47) Do you ever wish to escape reality? Do you have a way of doing so?

48) What do you most want to tell me?

49) Have you ever loved anyone more than you love me? Can you see that changing?

50) Is there anything particular that you don't know about me but would like to know?

When asking these questions always listen closely to the answer and respond accordingly. Intimate questions are meant to incite meaningful conversations, not just give you true or false type knowledge about your partner. The questions are just a gateway into the powerful communication which can serve to bond you and your partner in such a way that the two of you are forever intertwined. Love often begins simply with attraction, mutual interests, and a shared sense of enjoyment which allows two people to be happy in each other's company, but love grows through conversation. When you tell someone things about yourself that you've never told anyone, you make yourself vulnerable. Trusting someone wholly with this vulnerability is true love.

Phones / Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Versus Iphone 7plus -techknowng by Techknowng(m): 7:31am On Sep 12, 2017
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Versus IPhone 7 Plus
The iPhone 7 Plus packs in a 2,900mAh battery pack, which provides solid all-day usage, while the Galaxy Note 8 comes in a bit ahead with a 3,300mAh cell of its own. That’s a step down from the Note 7, which is probably smart given last year’s battery debacle.



But at the end of the day (quite literally), we didn’t see any real advantage for the Note 8 over the iPhone 7 Plus. It has 400mAh more to play with, but the Note 8 is also powering a larger, sharper display – so there was no grand difference in perceived uptime. Both devices can last the whole day if you use them occasionally, but heavy use can drain either of these before bedtime.

However, the Note 8 has wireless and fast charging, both of which the iPhone 7 Plus lacks. And as far as other perks go, the Galaxy Note 8 takes a commanding win in this category.



The Galaxy Note 8 offers microSD support for expandable storage beyond its 64GB built-in memory, while Apple has no such option: you’re stuck with the 32GB, 128GB, or 256GB you pick (and pay for) from the start. Also, the Note 8 supports the Gear VR headset and DeX station for using your phone as the brain of a desktop PC-like experience.

And did we mention the stylus? The S Pen is the Note line’s defining feature, of course, and the Note 8 adds in extra abilities – like translating entire sentences on the fly. You can still scribble down notes and doodles, as well, and overall, it can provide a nice productivity boost. The iPhone 7 Plus has nothing like that. Granted, we don’t think that most users need a stylus, and we hardly found it to be a critical addition in our review experience. But it is a bonus perk that some people will truly love and appreciate.

Also, the Galaxy Note 8 still has a headphone port. Boom.

Winner: Samsung Galaxy Note 8

A leaked telephone conversation between President Muhammadu Buhari's closest ally and powerful nephew, Mamman Daura, where he referred to Aisha Buhari as a 'Suicide Bomber' has emerged online.


SaharaReporters has received exclusive audio of a conversation between Mamman Daura, a cousin of President Muhammadu Buhari and one of his closest supporter, with Mamman Tukur a member of his cabal, during which Daura refers to the president’s wife as “suicide bomber from Yola.”

The conversation took place during the president’s medical vacation in London, and the two men are overheard discussing their worries about his health condition during his treatment. And shares their concerns about the wife of President Buhari, Aisha whom they referred to as "Suicide Bomber" from Yola.

The men also discussed the issue of the suspended Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ambassador Olusola Oke, who was alleged to have bribed people to speak up for him following the discovery last April that he was warehousing funds in a Lagos apartment. According to Mamman Daura, the suspended DG even bribed Senate President Bukola Saraki to speak on his behalf.

Mamman Daura The explosive conversation exposes the inner workings of President Buhari's feelings, during his treatment, towards a number people, including his wife as they jostle for power and worry about his health.

The following is the text of the conversation:

Mahmud Tukur : salaam alaikum.
Mamman Daura: alaikum salaam. Senior Mahmud
MT: You did not answer my calls. I have called severally.
MD: I am surprised COS I only saw one Missed call from you just now. I went to pray (Alwala) then I saw one call.O dear ! That's why I am replying.
MT: that's it. I am trying to ...
MT Okay. Yayagaijia? Hope you are not too tired
MD: Alamdullahi.
MT : okay. How is that place/ person?
MD: There. That person. Well. It's well. He is getting better.
MT: you said okay as if you are not sure ...

Laugher interrupts

MD: laughs in a very funny albeit sarcastic manner
MT: You said okay as if the getting well is not strong enough or fast enough or what isit ?
MD : Yes. Not 100 per cent. Not as you or I would like but of course ...

interruption

MT: hope he is meeting up with his treatment.
MD : it is encouraging
MT: okay. Very well. Thank God. please greet him for me very well.
MD : so I wish tomorrow I will arrive by Allahs grace. (Nufaa)
MT: okay that's nice. (expresses surprise). Is the wedding dayclose ?
MD: yes it's close. Slowly slowly the time is close. It's like time is on a fast track. Our time is almost up. We are close to rounding up.
MT: (mumbles and concurs in the background). Every morning I say a prayer.
MD : Hmm. Hmm. Allah help us. ( Allah a ji kam mu). Wa lahi. Walahi.
MT: Hmm. This thing. Is there any improvement from suicide bomber from Yola?
MD: Succc? ( Hesitates. Not sure who is being referred to at first.)
MT : Sucide Bomber. you know that's the way that person is being referred to ... ( interruption)
MD: It's worse. A hundred times worse than what you know.
MT: Allah.
MD: Walahi.
MT : or will Baba talk to the suicide bomber again? Or there is no need?
MD: There is no need. No benefit because the person does not listen to anyone.
MT: This is the problem.
MD: the person does not listen to anyone. What Sani Zango did ( talking to the person ) and he just passed away. Thenbaba also tried. But then it turned out the same thing.
MT: the man is very patient (meaning PMB). There is virtually nothing you can do again at this point. ( repeats it again).
MD : yes. (Concurs). There's not much that can be done. It's an absolute... something ( trails off ). It's like a fixed breakfast. There is nothing that can be done. You can't stay. You can't go. That's it.
MT : I see. Walahi...
MD:yes. it's tragic
MT : that's why ... said it's a luxury breakfast.

(MD. Laughs heartily in response)

MT: repeats the same thing.
MD: This is morethat a luxury breakfast. It's an absolute fixed breakfast. This one.
MT : Allah a kawo ... trails off as MD cuts in
MD: let's keeppleading / praying to Allah. 2ce Just that.
MT : Now. They said it's some or his people that have been talking
MD: Well. It just bounces off. It just bounces off.
MT: perhaps it's best to find out about the people involved like the accounts staff and others. Let's do this and neutralize him. Perhaps. (Ref NIA DG)
MD: Well. There are many people bringing or providing many "information". ( Lekanoni) We are doing that.
MT: Also you can talk tobaba to come out with this project. The project on ...
MD: okay. Okay.
MT: me I thought about it. And concluded that it's best you speak to him about it.
MD: don't worry. I will speak to him about it. You know he is very fed up with this NIA thing. The way that man this man messed up / scattered things.
MT: Didbaba brief you ?
MD: Yes. We spoke with him. We tried to do damage limitation but it hasn't worked I am sorry to say.
MT: before or after theevent ?
MD: No. before the event.
MT:oh ! That could have been something...
MD: because ai baba Kamar .... because it's gravely damaging to the security agencies.
MT: that's it.
MD: very grave damage.
MT: you know there is the issue of that youth. He is inabuja.
MD : Well. This exceeds their power ...
MT: what I am saying is that if you wantinside something (Infor) he is in Abuja. You may call him.
MD: okay. Okay.
MT: Because they know. They know. Someone told me that the guy gives money out to a lot of people. All spheres. That's one thing that frightens me. And that's why he has been able to find people to defend him. You see for instance Saraki has come out to speak for him. But I think if you have time. Ask that he be called to come see you. Let him tell you things. You can ask him anything. Also wider things. That is why I tried to have Mallam Abbah... But let me ask. How many are working foryou in terms of ground work of things. How many people have you got ?
MD: Nil
MT: better to find some people to do that. Some working in places becauselike in this case you get a verse insight. This is what I am saying. Have them call him for you. And then ask him what is going on... if one is lucky. Even if one is not lucky. Talk to him.
MD : okay.
MT: He has been working there for a long time. Plus. He is very bright. So.It think. Also He will be reliable. From what I know of him. Like I told you. He is the one I rely upon to get me information. For a long time now.
MD: So. He is rarely experienced then.
MT ; yes. During my time at New Nigerian, I ask him to do research. He got me information on different people. Within 2 to 3 days he will bring me the information I need.
MD: Yes. Allah is king. ( Allah Sarki)
MT : I need to tell you this.
MD: I will try to get hold of him.
MT: 'Cos no need to rely on third or second something. But this oneis first party. So if possible. Call him. He is someone I trust.
MD:okay.
MT: but I am rarely worried about that person In the house. I just don't know what to do.
MD : Walahi. Senior Mahmud. We are at our wits end. We are at our Wits end. Just not to scare you further or worry you further. A few days ago. At the dinning table. This thing, the sucide bomber we are talking about went and stood there subsequently the man refused to eat.
MT : why will the sucide bomber to and stand there ?
MD : because some of the things he can't eat. They will take it and go and hide them.
MT: I see. Villa ....
MD : they keep narrating to third parties. That this cat will not last. I think you heard enough. Until I return. God sparing our lives. Until I return. Next week.
But the thing is beyond our hand. We are watching. Walahi. It's beyond our hand.
MT: okay. Until you return.
MD: (laughs at something MT said). Thank God My only consolation is that if we are praying to Allah and in good faith. Then things will work out. But if contrary that's the way Allah wants it. That is the way it's going to be.
MT: okay.
MD:until we speak again.
MT: okay. Masalaam.

Clicks. Phone call ends.

Romance / Facebook CEO Welcomes Baby Number Two by Techknowng(m): 3:36pm On Aug 29, 2017
Mark Zuckerberg Welcomes Baby Girl
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg broke the good news on his facebook account which obviously have millions of followers.



The wonderful parent wrote a letter for the new baby girl and hopes she doesn’t grow too fast. Read letter below…

Mark Zuckerberg’s Letter To Baby
Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter August! We wrote her a letter about the world we hope she grows up in, and also hoping she doesn’t grow up too fast.



Dear August,

Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.

When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in — a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality. We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen. Even though headlines often focus on what’s wrong, we still believe these positive trends will win out. We’re optimists about your generation and the future.

But rather than write about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That’s why it’s important to make time to go outside and play.

You will be busy when you’re older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now. I hope you read your favorite Dr. Seuss books so many times you start inventing your own stories about the Vipper of Vipp. I hope you ride the carousel with Max until you’ve tamed every color horse. I hope you run as many laps around our living room and yard as you want. And then I hope you take a lot of naps. I hope you’re a great sleeper. And I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you.

Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don’t spend it worrying too much about the future. You’ve got us for that, and we’ll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.

August, we love you so much and we’re so excited to go on this adventure with you. We wish you a life of joy, love and the same hope you give us.

Love,

Mom and Dad

Romance / Why Girls Reach Puberty Early by Techknowng(m): 3:03pm On Aug 29, 2017
There have been recent cases of girls attaining puberty at a very early age without a concrete explanation, but this piece appears to give many answers to questions.


Showing all the trappings of a young adult, one would need more than just words to believe that Funke (surname withheld) is just eight years old.

At her age, she already developed breasts, one of the primary indicators of puberty in females. And the way other parts are growing very rapidly would almost give an impression that she’s someone in her early 20s.

But, truly, Funke is eight, according to her dad, who also expressed surprise with the way she’s ‘growing’, and is now unsettled due to the girl’s likely premature s*xual attention from men. He is equally unsure if the situation is normal, more so that she has also started menstruating. The medical term for early puberty is called precocious puberty.

Realistically, Funke is not alone and her father’s fear is quite understandable. In fact, her case is a fitting reflection of what now obtains across the world, whereby young girls now show obvious signs of reaching puberty, as against what obtained in the past, say about 20 years ago, when girls wouldn’t exhibit any sign of puberty until about 15 years upwards.

Meanwhile, other indicators of puberty include underarm hair, certain body odour, since the sweat gland would have become active, pubic hair and vaginal discharge, which is a precursor of menarche, the first occurrence of menstruation. All these are now happening to girls below 12, and according to a study published in Paediatrics as far back as 2010, a number of the girls surveyed had reached puberty as early as seven years, evidenced by breast development.

According to a consultant paediatrician, Dr. Rotimi Adesanya, the average age a girl is supposed to attain puberty is 11, but “these days some of them show those signs at age eight.”

However, there are reasons for this early puberty, and it is pertinent to point them out, perhaps to allay the fears of such parents. These reasons include:

Obesity: Literally, obesity is caused by eating too much and moving too little. Thus, if you consume a high quantity of food, particularly fat and sugar, and you don’t burn off the energy through exercise and physical activity, much of the surplus energy will be stored by the body as fat and that leads to overweight or obesity. This was the explanation given by the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. While it is seen as a general problem, obesity has been found to be a major cause of early puberty, especially in girls.

Dr. Adesanya explained that girls now reach puberty early because they eat junk food, snacks, oily food, etc., without doing exercises. He said these days; children would rather play computer games or play games on their parents’ or siblings’ smartphones rather than go out to do exercise. Thus, that lifestyle of eating without exercising has led to obesity and now makes them to reach puberty early. He said, “Obesity has strong links with precocious puberty and what favours it is the diet and sedentary lifestyle. Children no longer do exercises; they don’t trek to their school the way we did back then, which helped us to burn fat from our body. So, that is one major cause of early puberty.”

Stress: This is one other factor that has been found to aid early puberty in girls. Adesanya explained that traumatic experiences and emotional problems impact on the female reproductive system. He said this had to do with the interconnection among the brain, emotions and the reproductive system, like the hormones controlling breast growth and menstruation.“Children that go through a traumatic experience or emotional problems may see their period earlier, even though the impact is not as high as that of obesity.

Also, a study by a professor of family studies and human development, Bruce Ellis, and Prof. Marilyn Essex of the University of Wisconsin found that family conflict could influce how early or late girls attain puberty. In the study, which was reviewed on WebMD, a website that provides valuable health information and tools for managing health, they asked the parents of the girls about their economic difficulty, marital problems, parenting style and family stress. It was revealed that girls who live in families with great parental support and less marital conflict experience their first hormonal changes later in life than girls who live in homes where there are marital conflict, family issues, poor parent support, depressed parents and other such unpleasant issues. These were identified to be associated with puberty. “Even modest family conflict or stress may influence a young girl’s s*xual development and these were the normal stresses of growing up, not serious abuses,” Essex tells WebMD.

Now that it is almost inevitable for children to reach puberty early, because children from the rich or average income earning homes are likely to eat so much or even eat junk food, those from poor homes could be stressed emotionally, and those from either divide could come from home with family issues, girls who show signs of puberty should not be treated as aliens.

This development has no doubt made them endangered species, given the rate of rape and s*xual abuse, but parents have been advised to pay more attention to their young female children, because their changing physique could make them attractive to the males, even when they are not mature enough to refuse such (negative) gestures.

An endocrinologist, Dr. Glenn Braunstein, said open communication, nurture, and knowledge of the child’s activities would be good ways to prevent the child from getting into such avoidable troubles. In his analysis on Huffpost, Braunstein said whether puberty arrives early or later at the more expected time, it is always a challenge for children, especially girls and that it was up to parents, guardians and older siblings to help them to be the finest men and women possible, by assisting them through that stage.

He added, “Parental nurture, generally considered a key factor in curbing risk-taking, may be even more important for early-maturing girls. The thinking is that parental influence can help decrease these youngsters’ susceptibility to peer influence, assist them in developing better coping skills and diffuse negative feelings that might turn into negative thoughts and actions.”

Another solution advanced is s*x education, which according to experts, will prepare the girls for the change that is to come and what to do when it comes eventually. However, the experts stressed that one way to make this effective is for parents to encourage their children to communicate freely with them.

A consultant paediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Elizabeth Oyenusi, had said at age eight, a female child should be taught about s*x, so they don’t learn about it from outside or do so the hard way.

She had said, “Whether for a male or female child, once they clock eight years, parents should talk to them about s*x, and there is no need to use nicknames or graphics, more so that such children are exposed to different images on the television or even the Internet. A girl is ready for such education when her breasts begin to come out or when she clocks eight.”

Apart from this, parents are advised to teach their children when to say no, and that in certain (identified) situations, it is okay to say no to an adult. It has also been found to be helpful when children are taught where they should not be touched by others; how to get out of an uncomfortable situation and what to do if the adult wouldn’t let go.

A forensic psychologist and expert in the field of mental health, violence, mental health and addiction, Dr. Kathryn Seifert, in his post on Psychology Today, noted that given the way young girls tend to be susceptible to male attention, even at that young age – since they already show signs of puberty – highlighted ways by which pents could avoid such negative occurrences from happening to their children.

She said parents must encourage their kids to talk to them about how their day went, teach them when to run away from an adult, take action and let them see their parents take action when they make reports, which she said would build their confidence level.

She added, “Teach children that the danger may come from someone they trust. Tell your kids that bad touch is bad touch and no one gets to do it to our bodies. If anyone does bad touch, you go to a grown-up for help. When you are not sure about whether something a grown up is doing is okay, ask another grown up to help you.

“Also, take action if you suspect abuse; understand the signs, such as significant changes in sleeping, eating, mood, or strange behaviour that does not quickly go away; and know where your children are and who they are with at all times.”

Romance / Important Tips On How To Make Your Girlfriend Love You More by Techknowng(m): 11:31am On Aug 23, 2017
Life is not a video game, but there are still some tried and true ways you can impress your significant other. Check out some tips on how to make your girlfriend love you even more than she does now!

File photo

What can make your girlfriend love you more? Here are some practical tips that will help you.

1. Listen to what she has to say. It might seem obvious to many, but some people still manage to miss this simple but crucial step. If you are having a conversation, really listen to her. Do not just pretend to listen and then make excuses as to why you did not hear her last sentence.

According to the old Russian saying, ‘women love with their ears’. However, women also appreciate being listened to. Even if she just has to vent about her annoying co-workers, pause your work and offer a sympathetic ear. We guarantee that it will not go unnoticed.

2. Compliment her. Women do love with their ears, so a well-timed compliment will do wonders for your romance. Do not focus only on appearance, although occasional mentions of how good her hair looks are important too.

Play to her strengths, compliment her on things she is most proud of. It can be a promotion, a successful meal, a win in a marathon, or anything she worked hard for. You can also try to reduce her personal insecurities by saying how much you love them and appreciate them for making her who she is.

3. Ask her advice. Almost any person loves being helpful and important. Your girlfriend will definitely appreciate it if you ask her help in resolving a difficult situation. This tip would work great if it is her area of expertise. However, it might be hard to think of what to ask the PhD of Quantum Physics. What is the meaning of life, maybe?

4. Be her support system. Every woman needs someone she can turn to when things do not go her way. In this situation, that person is you! If you see that she is upset about something, ask her about it. Nevertheless, do not press if she refuses to answer. Simply say that you are there when she needs you. Eventually, she will tell you, and you can figure it out together.

5. Do not be afraid of her tears. Many people feel very uncomfortable when they see open displays of intense emotions. But if you want to be the best partner you can be, set your feelings aside and offer your shoulder to cry on.

6. Leave the past in the past. Unless your girlfriend initiates the ‘ex talk’, do not ask her about her exes. You do not need to know who she was with before. You should only care about the relationship at hand. However, when she asks you about the people you used to date, do not compare them to her. Describe them as if you were describing one of your friends.

7. Have a good relationship with her family and friends. It does not mean that you have to be best friends with all of them. Be as nice as you can, even if your views on life are incompatible. If you absolutely hate all of them, try to limit your communication with them. Do not make your girlfriend choose between you and them. It is an unfair choice, and you will most likely loose.

8. Surprise her. This encompasses all of the cutesy romantic behaviour you can think of. Leave cute notes around the house, plan surprise dates, or show up at her workplace during lunch hour. However, make sure that she likes surprises beforehand. Do a ‘trial run’ in a safe environment or just ask her outright. Because nothing is worse than an unwanted surprise.

9. Treat her. This does not necessarily mean you need to spend ridiculous amounts of money just to please her. Make her favourite meal, take her to her favourite theatre, or massage her feet when she gets home. Little things like that will work better than any words. Although occasional big gestures like a luxurious romantic trip for two will be great for the both of you.

If you live together, do not think that she has to do all the housework. Divide the chores between you, and if she works more than you, offer to take over her responsibilities.

10. Give her space. You do not have to be together 24/7. Even though it is your partner we are talking about, you have no right to control her in any way. Let her have her moments of solitude, encourage her to hang out with her friends.

A good loving relationship should be built on trust. This means that you two can have your separate lives and still love each other immensely. Staying apart for a while will do you both some good. In those moments, try to calm your jealousy. Do not look for signs of cheating if they are not there.

11. Be yourself. This is the most important part many people forget about. If she is your girlfriend, it means that she already loves you. You do not have to jump out of your skin and demand the impossible. Just be the nicest version of yourself you can be. As long as you are a decent human being, she will love you with all you strengths and weaknesses.

These are all very generic tips. If you want to know what will definitely work for your girlfriend, why don’t you ask her? There is no definitive guide to how to make girls love you. Every woman is different, so do not be surprised if your typical wooing fails.

Romance / Why A Woman's Life Is So Complex by Techknowng(m): 9:10am On Aug 22, 2017
The life of a woman is a journey, and you need to walk a mile in her shoes to understand her, through all these pain she still wears a big smile even when her emotion is saying otherwise, Amaka Nicholas writes.


Aside normal tantrums and emotional blackmails boys and girls dish out to their parents, children are cool. They are carefree. They play together, eat together, fight one another, get angry and reconcile before anyone knows it. But from age 9 – 13, something major hits the girl-child that is beyond her comprehension. Her first emotional hit is puberty.

During puberty, girls develop breasts, wider hips, and begin to menstruate. Even though some girls were taught about such changes before hand, many are not mentally prepared for the mood swings that accompany it. They grow taller and may put on some weight. Some produce stronger body odour and may develop acne and pimples.

Few days before her menstrual flow, girls experience Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) which is characterised by anxiety and bloating, mood swings, cramps, and pains. Women become more sensitive and even cry more easily. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists estimates that about 85 percent of women experience at least one symptom of PMS every month.

Most women experience common problems like abdominal cramps and pain. However, whether the pain is mild or severe, period-induced pain can cloud your cognitive function. While some women have heavy flow, others have normal or just droplet and for between 3 to 5 days every month. She goes through this till she’s 45 or 50 years when menopause hits.

Between 20 to 30 years, most women are married and pregnant. Her whole body takes a new shape. It is swollen with raging hormones. Some pregnant women suffer depression. The hormones in a woman’s body can influence her moods and actions throughout pregnancy. It affects her emotions, thought processes and even physical well-being.

Then comes labour pains during child-bearing. Some women lose their lives while going through this process. Some go under the knife and are torn wide open during caesarean sessions. Others get episiotomy, a cut around the vagina to widen the place for babies to come out, while others deliver safely.

Some women suffer Postpartum Depression after delivery. An appreciable percentage of new mothers experience ‘Baby Blues’ which is an emotional state of unhappiness, tearfulness, worry, self-doubt, and fatigue. This baby blues typically begins a few days after delivery and go away on its own within a week or two.

However, some feelings become unusually intense and last longer than two weeks. Once this baby blues goes on for more than 2 weeks, then it could be something more serious like Postpartum Depression (PPD). Signs of PPD include extreme sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness, crying all the time, loss of interest or lack of enjoyment in her usual activities and hobbies.
Some women also experience trouble falling asleep at night, or trouble staying awake during the day, loss of appetite or eating too much, unintentional weight loss or weight gain, overwhelming feelings of worthlessness or overpowering guilt, restlessness or sluggishness, and feeling that life isn’t worth living.

Some women who suffer from Post Partum depression may be irritable or angry. They keep avoiding friends and family. They worry excessively about their babies. They may also be uninterested in their babies, or unable to care them. They may feel exhausted that they are unable to get out of bed for hours. In rare cases, some women with PPD experience delusional thoughts or hallucinations and may harm their babies or themselves.

Menopause is another stage in a woman’s life that comes with its own issues. During the transition to menopause, women experience major hormonal shifts. At this time, they are most likely than usual to experience depression. It affects women differently than other types of depression, causing anger, irritability, poor concentration, memory difficulties, low self-esteem, poor sleep and weight gain.

Mood swings occur at this time too and can be hard to manage too. However, mood swings can also be triggered or intensified by other lifestyle factors and habits. A woman all her life is going through phases of emotional stress that she cannot control because she even doesn’t know why she can’t control her own emotions. She either tears up easily, or yells, act withdrawn, distanced, gloomy or just wish to be left alone.

While women are battling with what nature dished for them, men must learn to appreciate and tolerate women because they are going through things they cannot understand. Don’t just call your woman a drama queen or an attention seeker, she’s fighting many invisible battles and sometimes she displays those emotions to keep her sanity in check.

The life of a woman is a journey, and you need to walk a mile in her shoes to understand her, through all these pain she still wears a big smile even when her emotion is saying otherwise, she loves unconditionally, even when she is hurting. Respect your woman. To be a woman is not a day’s job, it’s a life time of battles from within. You have to understand your woman.
