Ladies this days has lost their sense of reasoning thereby forgetting who the are.

This photo here shows a lady who walked to the bank to make transactions but it seems she was not attended to on-time so she decided to settle down on the customers roll adjacent the teller canter.

At a point she forgot herself as she dozed off spreading her two legs wide open forgetting she did not wear pant.

Cornelius Vanderbilt was ruthless in his rail road Business.

John D. Rockefeller has to play so many unethical Monopoly tricks in other to be the go-to guy in Oil Business back in the days.

Andrew Carnegie did worse with his steel Business

J.P. Morgan was known for hostile takeover, a term used for forceful acquisition of companies, mostly weak ones.

Bill gates and Microsoft stole from Apple during it's early stage, Steve Jobs cheated his workers out of their stock rights and is known for many brutal business actions.

Mark did it with Eduardo Savarin, the twin and host of others.

Donald Trump doesn't hide it, he proudly cherish the fact that he can best another even though it doesn't seem so ethical.

Back home Dangote, Adenuga, Odetola, Fulorunsho, Abdual Samad etc I'm 100% sure you can get many reasons to point fingers at them. This list could go on and on...

Even many milloniares are not left out of this.

I think it's logical to come to the conclusion that only those willing to do what's necessary no matter what (whether right, ethical, moral or not) stay at the top of the food chain.

If you have seen any wealthy person that have not done something unethical before, please share!

check out the 5 leading causes of death in Nigerian pregnant women.Remember to share the link with your loved ones https://www.ajipe.com/5-leading-causes-of-death-in-pregnant-women-of-nigeria/



Pregnancy is as old as time, and it is a thing of joy, however it is also a battle field. In my language a woman that has just given birth is greeted as “ẹ kú ewu ọmọ” equivalent to “congratulations for escaping the dangers of child birth”.



For so long, humanity most especially Nigeria has been putting women on this battle field without fully giving them information, equipment and the care they need to scale through without hassles making a significant number of pregnant women die unduly. The fight against this negative trend is ongoing beginning with enlightening and educating Nigerians on the 5 leading causes of death in pregnant women.

What Is Maternal Mortality

Maternal mortality is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination (ending) of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental causes.

These words will haunt her for the rest of her life because even if she use all the bleaching cream in the world, she will never become a white girl. Even if she marry a white man because she thinks white is superior, she will still always carry all these tags she has tagged all nigerian women.

Nigerian girls like her, when you play small with their brothers they become so aggressive but if you investigate this girl, you will realize that she will never hustle with any man. She is most likely going for a ready made herself, this type of girl will never marry airforce1 or alexreporter who are still waiting to blow in a big way talkless of marrying righteousness that has not even moved his ministry to the permanent site

TA is good and if you should live by it, you will survive the crypto trading war but fundamentals, strong fundamentals are what may make or marr a crypto pricing growth. Right now; the words in the street is some fewer traders are selling, a larger percentage of traders are stashing up dia btc bags and buying and with several minors n major fundamentals happening more frequently by d week within the crypto space,i.e btc.
I see btc going parabolic with several altcoins on its wings before the close of the year. By the way, nairaland's jedison is one of the best TA gurus in the house...I no longer bother myself with reading time-framed btc's TAs from tradingview.. cuz I'm not a newbie in the crypto space...I can read n understand TA effortlessly n cross-reference them on dia respective time-charts on the exchange, bcuz I had done my homework over the long period. Menh, u have got to respect fundamentals too...bcuz its negative effect can siphon all your portfolios by half or a large chunk while you go to bed overnight. F' chinco govt wey pulled off the plugs on btc growths by banning shits n shorting down btc mining operations in their dozens somewhere around april abi na may self? & Elon no moustache for spreading FUDs....btc can still recover n grow without them for good.

Amajerry83:
You should get married if it comes from your heart and make sure you marry your like. Study a lady before getting married to her because people don't change after marriage. Although, in some cases people drop old habits as they get older and wiser. Some married prostitutes who later became good housewives while some married devoted church goer who later became cheats. If you want to look at only the disadvantages of marriage i bet you would be scared of it. Free your mind, understand your partner. DO NOT be extremely jealous and possessive. You married her does not stop her from being friends with the opposite sex. Let her do her things but guide her to make sure she doesn't fall. Women think they are smart not knowing men are way smarter! You should trust a woman before you make her wife. My last advice is do not fall for the phone privacy rubbish. If there's nothing to hide both you and your partner's phones should be accessible to the both of you. My brother, marriage is sweet. I've been married for 13 years with 4 kids. I feel so happy everytime i see my beautiful wife and my cute kids.

Prophet's marriage reportedly ends after 3 months as wife leaves him for not keeping to his promise to send her to school

A Nigerian Prophet and his wife have reportedly gone their separate ways after only three months of marriage.
https://prayers.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/610bcebb391bb.jpg
Prophet Divine Okoh, the General Overseer of Healing Grace Deliverance Ministry, Agbor, Delta state, and Happiness Nwakanma are said to have married after a whirlwind romance[color=#000000].[/color]

The couple reportedly met in May 2021 after Happiness left a comment on a controversial Facebook post.

They soon took their chat inbox and, from there, the prophet brought up talks about seeing Happiness' family.

They got married in the same month of May, despite reservations from the bride's family who were concerned about the short courtship period.
https://prayers.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/610bce93dfd83.jpg
After the wedding, the bride, a student of Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, in Imo State, reportedly suggested to her husband that she wanted to go back to school to complete her HND program but he objected to this.

It is claimed that he had promised the bride's family that he will ensure she completes school, so his refusal to allow her to go back to school after their wedding troubled the bride.
https://prayers.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/610bcef416183.jpg
The bride's story was shared on the popular Igbo Facebook group, Igbo di ?s?.

It was also claimed that the new bride has left the marriage after claiming that the prophet "hypnotized" her all along and she has been having spiritual attacks and strange dreams since she married him.
https://prayers.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/nha.jpg
As reports of their marriage crisis hit the internet, Prophet Divine Okoh took to Facebook to warn people who "lay false allegations against men of God."

His last Facebook post reads: "My spiritual advice to many who has not experience the anger from the alter, never lay false aligations against men of God just to destroy who is untouchable. That is a sin against the holy Spirit which even God says it can't be forgiven.

"Person like me I won't forgive I will hurt that family spiritually until everything there dry up, u can insult me I will forgive but say anything that is not true against the church, everyone who is in support of it will will be drawn according to the scripture, is a covenant that the church is built on a rock that gate of hell shall not prevail whoever who touch the church the rock falls on the family, ( u can fight fakes prophets and go free but men of God who has never sold their soul to Satan will not forgive whoever that discouraged them.
https://prayers.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/nhan.jpg
"IAM an example I will never forgive until I see the end of that family, I swear with my life (Is just an advice to many born by Satan to destroy churches and ministers Grace are difference some are born with dangerous anointing that God does not like to see them share tears) much love from here."

Its obviois she loves you more than you love her. Im of the opinion that you should be more open to her to allay her fears. Talk to her over and over om the need to keep you relationship issues between two of you. Let her be engaged in something productive and time consuming. Low self worth breeds insecurity. If she starts making money she will adjust. Above all, she needs assurances to boost her trust and confidence level in you. Dont leave her yet. Work on her shortcomings. You only leave a lady who refuses to change or adjust on certain characters. Hope she is not a cheat.

Five reasons you are still a single lady.

I had to write this because I get very interesting questions from time to time. There must be reasons women who want to be in a relationship are still single, right?
(Guys, I’m not sure this applies to you because it seems whenever you’re ready, you can just up and get a relationship. Although, it does appear that even the guys are having a hard time these days. Is that true?)
Here are some reasons why I think women are still single these days (in no particular order)

1. You’re not approachable.
Girl, you need to SMILE. Period. Guys need some green-light action so when they glance over and you don’t smile back, they take it as a “don’t even think about it” signal. This is what my male friends tell me. Another reason why you might be unapproachable could be because you are always surrounded by your girlfriends! Some women don’t know how to be alone. If you’re always with people how can people walk up to you? Try going to the movies alone, jogging, taking a walk, and see what happens…

2. You haven’t figured out your life’s purpose.
Yup! I always say “before you ask someone to go on a journey with you, you have to know where you’re going”. In this case, the journey is a relationship or marriage. You kinda have to know where it is you want to go in life before you take someone along. We are growing everyday so you won’t have it all figured out before you pursue a relationship, but at least you’ll know in which direction you’re headed and that will make it easier to decide who to go with on the journey.

3. You aren’t meeting NEW people.
Most people’s routines are so rigid and their social circles have stayed the same for years! They go to work, Church, home, and maybe one or two places and that’s it. No surprise you ain’t found someone all this time! You know they say “madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” I’m not saying you’re mad, but maybe it’s time to change things up a little bit. How? You ask. Well, by changing up where you go and going out with a variety of friends. Have a diverse pool of friends and hang out with different groups. You’ll probably meet new people that way. Network. Follow up on business contacts. Tap into all your affiliations not just because you want a romantic relationship but also because you want richer friendships and a richer life.

4. The guys around you are straight up not ready!
Yup! ‘Cos girl, you KNOW you got it going on. You’re beautiful, hardworking, friendly, fun, etc. but the dudes around you are either SUPER blind, intimidated (in which case it’s okay), or they’re not your type. So, what do you do in this case? Hmmm, you could try the tips in #3 and see how that goes or honey, call on Jesus to order the right dude’s steps!

5. You’re being unrealistic.
Hmm, this is an interesting one. I believe everyone should have non-negotiables when it comes to relationships but I guess sometimes the expectations can be unrealistic. I always say that we put too much pressure on other human beings to be PERFECT. We really shouldn’t expect more from others than we are ourselves. My Pastor said something the other day that was very profound. He said a lot of women are looking for oak trees (ready-made, already established men) when they should be looking for acorns (men with potential). I know a lot of women especially after a certain age don’t want to be with “potential” but when he said that, I realized that there will be some kind of potential in the guy that only a woman can bring out. Haven’t you noticed that when your male friends get married, shortly after they get that “marriage glow”? I notice it all the time! It’s the woman! She’s bringing out the best in him. So, ladies, don’t be afraid of potential anymore. Just get with the kind of potential you are comfortable with.
Phew! So, what do y’all think? What other reasons do you think explain why women and men are STILL single?
*These are just observations and from my conversations!

WHAT TO DO WHEN BITTEN BY A SNAKE:

-Call for first aid immediately
-Stay calm
-Remove jewelry from areas that could swell
-Don’t attempt to fight the snake
-Avoid cutting, sucking, washing, or pressing the bite
-Fasten a pressure immobilization splint and bandage to prevent the venom from navigating through your lymphatic system (don’t have it so tight it restricts blood flow, though)
-Change your position to keep the bite area level or below where your heart is at
-Don’t apply ice
-Don’t use a tourniquet
-Don’t drink caffeine
-Don’t drink alcohol

Biologists say that the term venomous is used on organisms which transfer toxins through stinging or biting.

On the other hand, poisonous is used on organisms whose toxins are transferred if you consume them.

Knowing how to identify a venomous vs non venomous snake is critical especially if you live in a snake-infested area.

Here are tips to help you know how to tell a poisonous snake.

1. POISONOUS SNAKE EYES PUPILS ARE ELLIPTICAL:

While a non venomous snake has a round pupils (eyes), a venomous snake has slit-like elliptical eyes that resemble cat ’s eyes.

2. POISONOUS SNAKE HEAD SHAPE IS TRIANGULAR AND BROAD:

Nearly all snakes have triangular heads. This means you can’t rely on this characteristic alone to identify the most venomous snake.

In addition to this feature, you’ll have to look out for other factors. The difference, in this case, can be spotted closer to the reptile’s jaw. In the case of a venomous snake, it’ll have a skinny neck and a fat head.

The reason for this is because the venom sacks are located under the snake’s jaw.

Non venomous snakes, on the other hand, have a steadily sloping jaw since they have no venom sacks.

3. IF IT RATTLES IT’S TAIL:

If a snake rattles its tail, you should run for dear life.

Rattling is the first sign that you’re encountering one of the most poisonous snakes.

Non venomous snakes make the rattling sound through hauling its tail across dry leaves.

Don’t be curious to figure out whether or not the snake is venomous. Staying away is safer.

4. IF THE REPTILE HAS A HEAT SENSING PIT:

A snake’s heat-sensing pit in venomous snakes is located between the nose and the eye.

Of course, this isn’t a characteristic you would identify easily from a distance, and you wouldn’t dare go closer to the snake to get a clearer look.

Often, many vipers will have a heat-sensing pit, while the non venomous snakes lacks this feature.

5. IF THE REPTILE HAS A COLORFUL PATTERN:

Many times, if a snake has solid colors, chances are it’s harmless.

On the other hand, if a snake is more patterned and colorful, you need to exercise caution.

Of course, not all overly patterned and colorful snakes are venomous.

A good example of this would be the black mamba commonly found in Eastern and Southern Africa.

Overtime, OBI ASIKA has successfully traversed the business, entertainment, media, content production and digital landscapes leaving behind enviable feats. The Anambra State-born creative innovator is now taking innovation to Onitsha, his hometown, with the Iba Ajie Asika Resource Centre, the first co-working space for creatives, the tech savvy and business solution innovators. In this interview, he unveils to OBINNA EMELIKE the rationale for the hub, how he plans to blend culture, technology and business in one place, opportunities at the centre, his heritage among other related issues. Excerpts:

What is the Iba Ajie hub all about and why the name instead of a ‘techy’ one?

The full name of the hub is Iba Ajie Asika Resource Centre, and it is named for my late father, H.E Ajie Dr Ukpabi Asika, CFR, in his and my late mother’s memory, Dibueze Chinyere Asika, OFR. The location is my late grandmother’s house where we stayed as kids in Onitsha and where today my parents are buried. So, the name of the hub is both a salute to him and to Onitsha and the principal inspiration was my late mother. It was important for me to make sure a traditional name is part of the conversation of technology and innovation, too often we think only in terms of foreign things when it comes to innovation but my world view which comes from my parents is centered on recognizing, promoting and showcasing African indigenous innovation, culture, and art. In this regard our pay off line for Iba Ajie is “simultaneously Ancient & Modern” that is what we hope to inspire and invoke; a reverence for the past but with our eyes focused on the future.

What are the key offerings at the hub?

We have co-working spaces, an audio visual training room that sits 70, the Dibueze Labs & Academy, which hosts 31 desktops and from where we will be launching our stem academy program called Project I.C.E, offering coding, digital skills and creative courses and offering those services to the direct community and schools. We will also be launching these courses online so we can impact beyond our location and affect the entire country. We also have the Ukpabi and Chinyere Asika Museum, which hosts over 1000 antiquities collected over 50 years from all over Nigeria and West Africa, from Benin and Ife bronzes, to Igbo masquerades, Igbo Ukwu and Nok terracotta, Ibeji and a lot of wood carvings and rare fabrics from across the country.

In the museum, we have a section that holds our archives, which are a collection of documents preserved by my late mother, which concern the work of the defunct East Central State from 1970-1975 to rebuild the East of Nigeria and secure Igbo properties and opportunities in Nigeria. We hold over 10 thousand documents, 100 thousand images and important pieces of Nigerian and Igbo history. As we open up, we are working with partners like Google Art on how to better present the collection and to enhance the preservation. In this regard, we are proud to be the first official Google Art location in the East of Nigeria and look forward to bringing our collection online.

We also have The Nathan Ejiogu Library named for my maternal grandfather Nathan Ejiogu, OON, a former chief inspector of education in the Eastern Region, head master and lifelong teacher and administrator. Our library offers private meeting space and over 2000 books in our research library. The hub is also host to Libe restaurant and outdoor bar, both will open in the summer and the hub will host live entertainment events, live music and of course, has already hosted the Onitsha Poets Society and the Onitsha twitter community. We hope to have the best food in town so that residents and guests can come and enjoy a premium and authentic experience at Iba Ajie. We have also recently been certified as a National tourist site by the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation and we hope to do some important projects with them in the East as well.

Why did you locate the hub in Onitsha, considering that Enugu used to be the capital of Eastern Nigeria, and is still the rallying point of the Igbos?

Onitsha is my hometown, my family lineage is over 500 years there and while Enugu is still perhaps the key city in the region. Onitsha also has a rich history. It has grown enormously and many may have forgotten or did not know that Onitsha is a major cultural center. Onitsha market literature is said by some to be the precursor of Nollywood and definitely Upper Iweka Road has been a key distribution point for Nollywood and our music for decades. The Ofala festival is ancient and the largest one in the East is in Onitsha and this has translated into the carnival we see in Jamaica and Trinidad alongside the new yam festival. Onitsha still receives 50 percent of all imports into Nigeria. It is the second largest metropolitan area in Nigeria. Apart from all of these, it is also one of the largest industrial and commercial cities in Nigeria and has a deep and unique cultural heritage.

I am fascinated by these connections and Iba Ajie will be exploring these cultural and commercial connections locally and globally. Iba Ajie is a personal intervention in my hometown to affect that community but I also lived in Enugu and carry it in my heart and we hope to partner with the various states in the region, including Lagos where I live and even federal in terms of our focus areas. We are already partnering with others across many spaces and our intention is to stimulate positive actions.

Why this focus on technology, innovation and creativity?

I was raised with these things as the primary things my parents taught me with education and values that can transform societies. My late mother is one of the first black women on the planet to do a masters in Computer Science in 1964 at UClA and her lifelong drive to empower and activate people is the rocket fuel that propels me forward. At the same time my father was a full believer in technology and you could see that with his work to rebuild Nsukka first, open IMT in Enugu and establish Proda to drive innovation in the east, in his private life he was fully focused on technology and innovation all his life and I guess we have stayed focused on these things as well as the creative and intellectual arts.

I firmly believe that these elements you mentioned in your question have an enormous role to play in driving Nigeria forward, in this regard we are working with key partners to develop curriculum under the brand name I.C.E which speaks to innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship and we hope to use that to offer opportunities to Nigerians of all ages to skill up to join the new gig economy and to be key players. The expert opinion suggests that if we focus on skilling our people up we can deliver over 10 million people who can work the jobs of the future through these skills by 2030 and we can only imagine the new businesses and enterprises that can begin from that training and exposure. Nigeria must reform its education and have solutions for the millions who will not be able to go to university.



What do you hope to achieve with the coding academy and who are your targets?

The coding academy serves a couple of functions, in the first instance it is called the Dibueze Coding Academy as a tribute to my mother and the concept of the entire hub really comes from her. We are also developing a curriculum inspired by her with our educational partner Techquest called Project Ice that I mentioned above. They are a stem provider and have trained thousands of young Nigerians in stem, coding and digital skills. We are confident that we will be able to train thousands per annum and also provide services to schools in the community while also delivering online courses for all. We are already talking with the Onitsha Business School and others about how to support their work and collaborate. The second core function of the stem academy is to operate as an e-sports and gaming center, we have partners at Unanimous Games and hope to launch our first event in the summer with a global FIFA tournament. We hope that Dibueze Academy will grow to build strong programs, partner with local schools and attain its targets of bringing skills to the community and beyond.

You are also involved in the Ado Business Incubator project, is the initiative living up to its core objective of building strong startup culture?

The Ado Business Incubation project is an offshoot from the Onitsha Advance Foundation, which is driven from the community and Ime Obi. Onitsha is blessed to have visionary and globally exposed leadership at the heart of our traditional institutions. Agbogidi, the Obi of Onitsha, has been innovating for a long time and since the pandemic last year he has held over 10 virtual global townhalls with the community and driven a massive community response to Covid19, the offshoot of this has led to several programs designed to assist and provide opportunities in Onitsha. In this regard there is a stream focused from the women and gender view, there is the entrepreneur scheme, there is the business incubation and there is a values driven program.


Iba Ajie is the host for the incubator and the first cohort of over 100 is about to commence. As you know entrepreneurship comes naturally to many Nigerians but I am hopeful that enabling our people with technology and new skills will improve their opportunities. Ado Business has already been running Google skills training programs and more for women and young people at Iba Ajie and also run a number of interventions including the first Project Ice open day for schools.

The people of the old Eastern Region are known for their industrious and entrepreneurial spirit, do you think they still do and if not, will the startups you are promoting at Iba Ajie rekindle the spirit of enterprise once again?

I think the whole world knows about Igbos and their resilience, their innate talent when it comes to enterprise and commerce, and for being natural entrepreneurs. I think it is clear that that spirit is alive and well and it can be seen in the over 1000 factories in Nnewi, in the fact that the Onitsha metropolitan area is now second only to Lagos and that the annual Lagos to Onitsha trade has crossed USD$5billion per annum. We can see that energy and enterprise in every inch of Nigeria and Nigeria is definitely better for it.

I think what we must do better is to make the East more discoverable, be more deliberate about our story telling and to enable people to find transparent partners in the region. We need to make the East open to investors local and foreign and build bridges. In this regard I am part of a group called the Society of Igbo Professionals, which is leading those conversations. I believe in collaboration and that Aba, Nnewi and Onitsha are enormous drivers today of this Nigerian economy but if they adjust their story telling and become more visible they will do even more business with Lagos, Kano, Ibadan and all of West Africa.

The opportunity that AfCFTA presents for the manufacturers all over Nigeria who can meet standards is clear, if our manufacturers and markets build trust and standards they can partner with the creative designers and influencers to create hot products for Nigerian, African and global brands and icons which will monetize everywhere. Iba Ajie in its own small way hopes to contribute to more positive conversations around these opportunities. Onitsha is already one of the most important commercial cities in West Africa, but there is much more to the city and Iba Ajie will, beyond business, dig into the culture, the music, the dance, the heritage and the stories and seek to bring those elements together.

It is also interesting to hear that Iba Ajie holds the unofficial archives of the East Central State, why?

My late father was the administrator of East Central State, he was a copious writer, reformer, intellectual, public servant and had the onerous duty of rebuilding a war ravaged east, that story has not been told but we have the content and I am the custodian of the records of the work he did and thankfully my mother kept everything.

My late mother was one of the first black women to study Computer Science at graduate level and a lifetime archivist and collector. In this regard, she kept files and copies of everything that he ever did and also of her own work. Therefore, we are blessed to hold the policy documents, the speeches, the planning, the vision and evidence of the results. My father and his team were focused on rebuilding the East and helping all Igbo people to get back on their feet and reintegrate into Nigeria. My mother was side by side to support and work with him, they were more interested in rebuilding the East than in claiming credit and he managed to double pre-war infrastructure but never named anything for himself. At Iba Ajie, we have a memorial wall to celebrate the many people who made up that cabinet and who led the work to rebuild, reclaim and engage the East back into Nigeria.

In this regard we are the legacy of our parents and even as I have spent my life promoting the arts, culture and soft power of Nigerians it happened because I was impacted by watching my father and mother do that all their lives. That was how he enabled and funded all of those interventions from Enugu Rangers, Proda, IMT, the rebuilding of Nsukka, the East Central State Writers Workshop, which was led by Obi Egbuna, the poet and activist, gave birth to the sounds of Harcourt Whyte, the talents of Eddie Iroh and a young James Iroha, who ideated new masquerade from that commune. The East Central State was open to the arts, promoted its own arts festival and hosted everyone from Ola Balogun, to Ali Mazrui, Fela Kuti and more. The connection to the global black diaspora was intentional and the promotion of arts, culture, music and sports was also intentional. I was too young but I do recall some of those moments and seeing Prince Nico Mbarga and Fela live as a kid are unforgettable memories. Iba Ajie is motivated by the possibilities of African soft power and the global connections that can unlock a more prosperous future.

Apart from technology, what projects do you have for the creative economy at the hub?

We are first of all, a venue and location. So, you can expect live performances, comedy, music, variety, we will host regular training sessions, webinars and courses on the creative economy and are about to launch a series called Freelance Fridays, which was a program run by my sister Nkiru Asika in Lagos since 2012 at her hub The Hothouse. That program trained thousands here and we hope to replicate it to similar impact, as mentioned earlier our Ice platform will be launching this year with a mix of free and paid courses in innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. Beyond that, in our second phase we hope to open a recording studio for music and a talking head / green screen studio for TV/film production over the next 12-18 months.

Iba Ajie is also in partnership talks with MultiChoice Talent Factory to bring their courses and programs to Onitsha, so between being a space that creatives can use and also work from, we also will be offering specialized courses for creatives as well.

Apart from this, Iba Ajie has its own in-house projects, which involve historical documentaries we have co-produced with Ed Keazor, our co-founder. He is a renowned lawyer, historian, musician and also the curator of Iba Ajie Museum. His personal archives and collection will be permanently hosted at Iba Ajie. We have a series of important historical figures that we hope to produce documentaries about and we have already done a few and hope to continue to do more. We also have to publish the completed but unpublished works that we have. As with everything, funding remains a challenge but we continue to push forward.

You have won many fans through your activities, passion and investments in the entertainment industry, are we going to see a reflection of that passion at Iba Ajie?

Iba Ajie is a reflection of my life’s journey, all my work is really about value and seeing that value in ourselves, some see it in our music, some in Nollywood, some in our football, fashion and food. I believe the real value lies in our people, when we empower and enable them they are world class and innovative. In the course of life we all encounter challenges and getting the hub to this stage has been a 17-year journey since my father passed but accelerated and elevated when my mother passed in 2015. I have always felt that we tend to diminish ourselves and don’t recognize our own value. I am hopeful that this small effort will inspire others who have much more capacity to invest in their communities to engage and bring opportunities to them. Iba Ajie is hoping to have a long-term beneficial impact and is seeking long-term partners, we are on ground in the community and we hope to host as many events and initiatives as possible. We are still seeking funding partners as we would love to have solar power and broadband fibre to support all of this work and we will be engaging people in that regard.

Onitsha is getting set to become an art and culture hub with the Chimedie Museum and Iba Ajie Museum. How will these museums impact the status of the commercial town?

I am hopeful that these projects as well as the Zik Mausoleum project will all come alive and add to the social and cultural landscape in Onitsha. Such that, when you come to Onitsha, beyond the market, beyond the commerce, maybe someone says have you seen the Square of Statues to the Kings of Onitsha at Ime Obi, have you been to Zik Mausoleum, have you eaten at Iba Ajie and enjoyed the live bands, or even are you a gamer, a poet, a creative, if you are any of these things Iba Ajie is for you.

Iba Ajie is really for everybody, the community, the creatives, the startup community, the traditional community, and of course, all global partners we can find who share our ideals and mission. Onitsha has deep cultural heritage and history and it is seen in our traditional institutions, our festivals, our music and even our dances, Iba Ajie represents all of that but also has the duality to face the age of ideas, to embrace the technology that will drive the future. Iba Ajie hopes to serve as a bridge bringing people together to co-create, to celebrate connected cultures and to ideate for solutions for real world problems that we all struggle with. I know that Igbo culture has been global for 500 years just like all of our West African culture, which was exported through global commerce and the Atlantic slave trade. At Iba Ajie we are simultaneously ancient and modern and we have our eyes on the future, on how Onitsha comes online and how we globalize from all our communities. We hope to create partnerships to build bridges to the future and re-imagine Onitsha together.

Friends they say are pieces of life puzzle... Without which life is in complete... But why do you do when the successfully assemble this life puzzle and rather than making your life complete and fun they threaten to ruin you. Have you ever had friends that you sometimes wonder if they were friends or enemies... Do you have friends that are "killing" you?
Here are top 10 behaviors that make people terrible friends and it's probably best you avoid making friends with them.

Friendship Killer #1 - Jealousy
I don't know how it works with guys, but women are notoriously catty. Trust me... I grew up with 4 catty sisters whose only goal in life was to tear each other down.... There were constantly trying to outshine each other... So I know a thing or 2 about jealousy.
How to Spot Jealousy in a Friend
You know your friend is jealous when she behaves passive aggressively by constantly making comments (put downs) about your boyfriend, your clothes, your lifestyle, etc. and you find yourself having to downplay your achievements and talents just so she won't get mad or start being competitive.
Jealousy destroys relationships because you can never be happy for the other person. And the very essence of friendship is support for one another.

Advice: If you're the jealous type, ask yourself why you feel so less than. Build your self-esteem by doing esteemable things for yourself and others.If your friend is the jealous one, have a serious conversation with her. Tell her you want to be supportive, but that you can't and won't be in a friendship that's rife with jealousy.
By the way, I don't talk to my mother anymore - and I'll only deal with one of my sisters. Yeah. It was that bad.

Friendship Killer #2 - Selfishness
With selfish friends, it's always about them. Everything has to be on their terms. If you don't go along with their program, they try to make you feel guilty, put you down, etc.

Advice : You may just be dealing with someone who is unaware that they're selfish. If that's the case, you need to gently tell your friend how her behavior affects you.
If you're dealing with a narcissist, you may want to end the friendship, as it will always be one-sided.

Friendship Killer #3 - The Manipulator
The manipulative friend can never be direct. They know your weaknesses, so they hint around when they want you to do something, knowing that you will fall for their manipulation - hook, line and sinker.

Advice: Tell your friend nicely that you would appreciate it if she would be more direct with you.

Friendship Killer #4 - Possessiveness
I had a friend who always put down any other friend I wanted to hang out with because she couldn't stand for me to be with anyone else. When I wanted to include others in activities, she vehemently opposed.

Advice: Smothering someone --telling them they can't have other friends -- is a sign of fear of abandonment. If it's you who's behaving possessively, ask yourself why you're so terrified of losing your friend. If it's your friend who is possessive, ask her the same thing - gently of course.
Then seek therapy.

Friendship Killer #5 - The Critic
With the critic, you can never win. Sometimes you can almost win, but inevitably the critic will find something wrong with you or what you did, what you're wearing, etc.
Being around someone who is overly critical is devastating to your psyche and your self-worth.
Advice: L et go of the friendship. People who are overly critical will always raise the bar just out of your reach. It's a no-win situation. Cut your losses.

Friendship Killer #6 - The Exploder
The exploder always keeps you off balance. It's their way of controlling you. Being friends with an exploder is like walking through a minefield. You never know what's going to set them off. Walking on eggshells in a relationship is not healthy and inhibits the growth of both parties.

Advice: Tell your friend to seek anger management, or you're gone.

Friendship Killer #7 - Covetedness
Everyone gets a twinge of jealousy sometimes. But when it's a constant in your friendship -- that's bad. Coveting goes hand in hand with jealousy. But it's a closer cousin to envy.
Your envious friend always wants what you have. The mentality is "there's not enough to go around, so I want what's yours."

Advice: T ell your friend you sense her envy and that it's uncomfortable. Tell her if she acts on her covetedness, you will associate with her less.

Friendship Killer #8 - Disloyalty
God I hate disloyal people. Disloyal friends are the backstabbers. Gossips. They're the ones you share a confidence with and then you hear about it on the 6:00 O'clock news. They're the ones who laugh at you when you fall down - instead of helping you up... Here's the deal. I don't think people should be loyal to a fault. But you should be loyal until your friend no longer deserves your loyalty.

Advice: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Friendship Killer # 9 - Liars
Liars annoy the heck out of me. You can't trust them. Ever. And you can't have a friendship without trust.

Advice: Confront your friend about their lies. Tell them that you cannot trust them if they're lying to you all the time and that trust is an important, and necessary part of the friendship.

Friendship Killer #10 - Being Too "Busy"
Relationships are not one sided. Everyone is busy. But friendships take time and effort. You've got to decide whether you really want the friendship because it takes an investment... So if your friend is always saying she's "busy", it just means she doesn't want to be friends anymore.
Advice: I'd see how often she tells me she's too busy to hang out before I pull the plug on the friendship.

Conclusion
There is no denying the fact that friends are an important part of life. So you want to make sure you're not getting drained by the very people who are supposed to be uplifting to you. This advice is however not limited to just friendship but useful for any type of relationship.
So, start paying close attention to your circle of friends and see if any of them fit into one or more of the "friendship killer" categories. Then do what you need to do to take care of yourself.

I have been dating this lady for 8months now. The relationship has been going well except for one weird problem which is beyond my comprehension.

The first time we had sex, it was like a thug of war . She will push, bite, hit and wrestle with me as if i was trying to rape her. At first when i observed her resistance, i stop and asked her if she doesn't want it; she laughed, and then told me that nothing good comes easy, and that its more fun that way. That night we struggled and struggled until i finally got her.

The next morning, all my muscles were paining like someone who had wrestled with a lion. And she was even boosting that she was soft on me .

At first i thought it was a one time thing; i was wrong. She still carries on this weird act, and i have come to understand that that's the only way she enjoys sex; rough and tugged . She like her man to subdue her before he can get his way on her. I have tried numerous times to talk to her for a change but to no avail. The most annoying part is that she will often initiate sex, when i now reciprocate, she will start to wrestle and want to play rough . She sees it as fun (which i do at first), but to me it's really tiresome and not fun anymore.

Sometimes i wonder if there's any ugly past life of her which an ignorant of, that could have made her develop such violent sexual taste. Or could it be that she is spiritually possessed. I mean how did she come to develop such habit.

I'm really worried about this her weird sexual habit as i have intention to settle down and start a family.

Guys, what's your take on girls who like rough sex?
