This story is quite funny. I am not saying you are lying maybe the babe was really into you but the part about all Ghanaian girls want is to see Lagos. Please I don't even know the girl and I say is big lie. Most Ghanaians don't have positive view when to Nigeria, so I am surprise that Ghanaian will be dying to see Lagos. If it's p square and Wizkid they want to see, those guys are always in Ghana.

I would rate this your story rated L for lying


I had to visit her fbk and get this pix. As funny as it sounds it's no lie man lol. Tho i hyped some of the story, like the whole of tema calling me but they did call lol.

Family / Helping Your Child Deal With Puberty by umehmj(m): 8:33pm On Jun 22, 2016
THE CHALLENGE

It seems as if it were just yesterday that you held your infant in your arms. Now you have a preteen on your hands—still a child, true, but one who may be about to embark on that section of road toward adulthood called puberty.

How can you help your son or daughter deal with this confusing and sometimes traumatic transition into sexual maturity?

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Puberty has its own timetable. It can begin as early as age eight or as late as the mid-teens. “The range of normal puberty is wide,” says the book Letting Go With Love and Confidence.
Puberty can bring insecurity. Adolescents can be highly sensitive about how they come across to others. “I became conscious of how I looked and acted,” recalls a young man named Jared. * “When I was around others, I’d wonder if they thought I was weird.” Self-confidence can plummet even further if acne develops. “I felt that my face was under attack!” recalls 17-year-old Kellie. “I remember crying and calling myself ugly.”

Early bloomers face special challenges. This is particularly true of girls, as they might be teased when they develop breasts or curves. “They’re also at risk of attracting the attention of older boys who are more apt to be sexually experienced,” says the book A Parent’s Guide to the Teen Years.

Puberty does not mean maturity.
“Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a youth,” says Proverbs 22:15. Puberty does not change that. A young person may look grown-up, but that “tells you nothing about his ability to make intelligent decisions, behave responsibly, exercise self-control, or [display] other measures of maturity,” says the book You and Your Adolescent.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Talk about puberty before it starts. Let your child know what to expect, especially regarding menstruation (for girls) and nocturnal emissions (for boys). Different from the gradual changes of puberty, those events begin suddenly and can be confusing and even frightening. While discussing such matters, take a positive approach—that puberty initiates a beneficial makeover that paves the way for adulthood.

Be thorough. “When my parents gave me ‘the talk,’ they were evasive,” recalls a young man named John. “I wish they had been a bit more straightforward.” Alana, 17, feels similarly. “My mom helped me understand what was going on physically,” she says, “but I wish she had helped me cope better emotionally.” The lesson? As awkward as it may be, talk to your child about all aspects of puberty.

Ask questions that invite conversation. To break the ice, talk about others’ experiences with puberty. For example, you could ask your daughter, “Have any of your classmates started talking about having periods yet?” “Do kids make fun of girls who develop early?” You could ask your son, “Do kids ridicule those who lag behind in physical development?” When adolescents start talking about how puberty affects others, it might be easier for them to open up about their own feelings and experiences.

Help your adolescent develop “practical wisdom and thinking ability.” Puberty is not all about physical and emotional changes. During this stage your adolescent also develops reasoning skills that will help him or her make good decisions in adulthood. Take advantage of this opportunity to instill good values in your adolescent.

Do not give up. Many young people seem reluctant to talk to their parents about puberty, but do not be fooled. “The adolescent who pretends to be uninterested, bored, disgusted, or stone deaf may be memorizing every word,” says the book You and Your Adolescent.
“My parents were very supportive when I went through puberty, especially my mom. She took the time to explain everything to me. I knew exactly what was coming and what to expect, so I never felt shocked when I hit that stage. On top of that, my mom made sure that I always felt comfortable talking to her. My parents made the awkwardness easier for me to handle.”
—Marie, 16.
“My parents worked with me. For example, they tried to respect my privacy because they knew the whole experience was embarrassing for me. The fact that they weren’t announcing it to others was helpful too. And they talked to me about what was coming before I experienced it.”—Joan, 18.

lol...my experience with dating a Ghanaian babe

Ghanaian babes see worship naija guys literally. to them it is like hooking a yanky
dude. the babe was all over me. she will call on the phone and i will speak with her, her sisters, her parents (to my surprise ) and indeed to the whole of tema that cares to talk to this naija dude.

they are so needy: the babe follows me bumper to bumper on all social platforms and always tagging me like in all her uploads. if any babe comments on my pix na cry be that. she doesn't waste in pikin fights with my female friends.

again, they are pretty cheap to manage. all that an average ghanian babe wants is to come and see Lagos and probably go to whizkid and psquares shows. My Ghanaian babe travelled all the way from tema to come see me and most importantly to see Lagos. guess how much it cost me? ....it cost me just an invite. shikina. but heh, i did gave her a great time and memories.

i ran when she got back to Ghana. dunno how it happened but every babe in tema was calling for an invite to come see lagos, psquare and whizkid. what's up with them and whizkid and psquare sef




where is lalasticlala?

waywardpikin:


In my family it's like a tradition. All the men go bald when they get to a certain age and they are all bearded and very hairy too. Baldness runs in my mom's side of the family too so there was really no escaping it for me.

How old are you? Don't be so sure you have escaped it yet o lol

mid twenties. i won't have it lol. none of my elder bros are bald

The thicker the beard the more likelihood a man is going to be bald. Sorry my brother, some have head but no cap others get cap but no head.

Does your dad have a beard?


yea he damn hairy all over the body. i noticed men from my mum's side don't have hairs and are mostly bald. I'm glad i didn't catch their baldness too

Dont be gullible my people. This twitter handle is not Aisha's.

No president wife will release such statement on social media even Goodluck's wife that is vocal will not go this low.

The twitter handle above dated 21st of June 2016 @10:24pm and on her original twitter handle, the last time she send a message was a retweet a day ago. Dont believe everything you read in the media. Media is deceptive at times.

Abeg make una free this woman. Naija and fake news everywhere.


oga you need to go and educate yourself on what twitter handle confirmation is all about. the tweet above is from a confirmed handle. share a pix of your supposed original twitter handle. In the mean time, shut up.

Politics / Bombshell!!!!! What Nuhu Ribadu Said About Goodluck Jonathan by umehmj(m): 12:06am On Jun 17, 2016
Malam Nuhu Ribadu, the former EFCC chairman,
and governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in Adamawa state during
the 2015 general election, said that former
president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the only
president that a single act of corruption cannot
be traced to him as an individual. He also said
that Jonathan is the only president in recent
years who did not allocate a single oil bloc to
anybody, not to talk of himself.Ribadu who disclosed this in response to a
question on why he believed in Goodluck
Jonathan, during an interview with Premium
Times, said, “First of all I know him (Jonathan)
fairly better than most people. Secondly, I also
know a little bit more than many people in this
country. Thirdly, I am an unrepentant advocate
and believer in the unity of Nigeria. I respect
people no matter where they come from.”
The former EFCC boss added saying, “People say
a lot about him (Jonathan) that is not true. For
instance, I don’t think that a single act of
corruption can be traced to him as an individual. I
know that he is the only president in recent years
who did not allocate a single oil bloc to anybody,
not to talk of himself. And these are the areas
where you can tell corruption in its true colour. He
did not allocate oil bloc to himself, family or
friends up till now. He also did not give a single
marginal field to himself or anybody else even
though he is the only president that comes from the niger delta where the oil is coming from....... I know for a fact that President Jonathan does not have a single property anywhere abroad or any huge business in Nigeria. He does not own a university and none of his children are schooling abroad. It is therefore so unfair the way he is being painted because of politics."

Career / My Cure To A Broken Career Heart by umehmj(m): 7:14pm On Jun 16, 2016
It is painful when we fail to land our dream job after much preparation and hardwork. It is even more painful to loose a job we love so much. It often leaves us with self doubts and too many questions, especially when we have given in our everything into the job. So today I'm going to discuss what to do when you fall in love with a job and don't get it. Or, when you get fired or laid-off from the job you love.

How do you survive the feelings of loss, disappointment, and failure? You brain fires with non-stop negativity while it searches for the answers to the questions:

Where did I do wrong?

How could I have convinced them I was the perfect candidate?

Is there any desperate measure I can take to try to change their mind?

It's no wonder why most people can't get out of bed the day after they lose the job they desire. Love hurts.

There's Only One Real Cure...

I wish I could give you a technique to get the employer to magically change their mind. Better still, if I could only create a way to erase the painful memory of not landing this job from your memory. I can't. Only one thing will ultimately help you get over this loss: a new career love.

Here's What You Need To Know (WARNING: You May Not Like It!)


1) Vent to a trusted advisor - and only that advsor! It's very important you process your feelings and get them out of your system. You can't keep your hurt inside. Find one person you trust and respect and let it all out. However, don't cry in your cereal or glass of wine to every friend, family member, or colleague that will listen. You don't need people to feel sorry for you. Plus, like it or not, when people hear you didn't get the job you loved, they'll assume you did something wrong. I know that sounds terrible, but it's the truth. People judge you in your ability to be resilient. You need to keep your public image in tact because these are the same people that you may need to lean on for references and recommendations down the line. Don't let them see you fall apart. You are stronger than you know! This is just one job in a sea of opportunities. They need to see you aren't overly affected by the loss.

2) Get hyper-social. Instead of locking yourself away in your home and licking your wounds, force yourself to get out and network. Your brain needs to be occupied with constructive discussion. You are the career company you keep, and right now, you aren't good company by yourself. So, try some of these:

Go to an industry event.

Start a discussion on social media channels about your area of expertise.

Reach out to ten new people in your field and ask them to connect on LinkedIn.

Set a coffee or dinner with an old colleague.


3) Secure a career "wingperson" so you aren't flying solo. You are going to have a crisis of confidence as you head back out there into the job search. You'll doubt every action. That's not good. You need to be able to check in with someone who can validate your actions and keep you from sabotaging yourself. Find your wingwoman or wingman and use them to keep you on track and accountable.

4) Utilize a methodology to give structure to your job search. Most job seekers are using outdated techniques and approaches to their job search. Even worse, they just "wing it" and do what they think they are supposed to do without learning what actually works. The truth is, there probably was something you could have done different to get that job. But, you can't go back and fix it. You can only learn from your mistakes and move forward. Don't let history repeat itself due to your lack of understanding of what you are doing wrong. Find job search resources that can help you map out and follow a proven process for getting that job. It will help you maximize your potential and give you confidence that you're doing it right. While it won't guarantee you get the job the next time, it will help you see where the pivotal points are in the process and help you to do your best at each one. That's the most scientific way possible to improve your job search success rate.

You Will Survive (And Thrive!) If You Can Remember This...

While I can't make the job loss any less painful, I can tell you curing a broken career heart is easier than you think. Ask anyone who has followed the steps above and they will tell you when they finally got the next job, the emotional high they experienced was so intense, it made the heartache worth it. "That which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger," is a famous phrase that we should all remember. You will survive, AND you will experience a new level of competency and empowerment that will make you feel powerful and happy. But, that won't happen if you let the broken career heart win. So, pick yourself up, follow the steps above and create a happy ending to your career story!
