It’s a lot easier for women to please men in bed than it is for men to please women. Why? Well, men are straightforward and women are complicated, and that’s the understatement of the millennium. And its not just about the female sexual system so complex some of its owners don’t get it (it would be easier to time travel than orgasm simultaneously a lot of the time). Women are slaves to hormone-driven libidos more unpredictable than lottery numbers. Highly susceptible to the trio of self-blame, self-doubt and self- consciousness. Add a touch of body dysmorphia to the mix and you’ll get a vague idea of what it’s like to be a female in bed. In a bid to help make life a little easier for both sexes, here’s what all men need to know about the woman in their lives. 1. ABOUT HER BODY The clitoris is the only organ on the human body designed specifically and purely for pleasure. You can see some of the clitoris: the hood, the shaft that hides under it and the glans (head), which is the little pea- sized tip most people think is the clitoris. But hidden from view are other bits: it has wings! These wings are called clitoral legs and they’re made of erectile tissue, which means they pump full of blood, just like the penis does, when aroused. The legs are about two to three and a half inches long and run down the sides, pointing in the direction of her bottom. But wait there’s more: there are also clitoral bulbs of erectile tissue underneath the inner lips of the labia. This is all extremely good news. It means rather than one tiny area, there’s lots of us to be stimulated. It is more difficult for women to orgasm but the fact is, a lot of women can orgasm in five minutes or under given the right technique, lover and/or tool (namely one that vibrates). The right technique isn’t through intercourse, which is what most men have grown up believing. It’s generally gentle, consistent, rhythmic stimulation with a tongue or fingers. The right tool is a vibrator, which an (albeit dwindling) number of men find threatening What’s the easiest way to orgasm for most women? In one survey of more than 500 women, 34% said using theirbfingers or rubbing against something was the easiest way to climax; 14% said using their vibrator. That’s nearly half of all female orgasms achieved without a man even in the country, let alone the room! The next most reliable method, at 14%, was receiving MouthAction. Just 6% of women said they could orgasm from intercourse alone (read that again, just so it sinks in), though 12% said if there was added clitoral stimulation (fingers or a vibe) they could manage it (and that bit). 2. ABOUT HER ORGASM It is more difficult for women to orgasm but the fact is, a lot of women can orgasm in five minutes or under given the right technique, lover and/or tool (namely one that vibrates). The right technique isn’t through intercourse, which is what most men have grown up believing. It’s generally gentle, consistent, rhythmic stimulation with a tongue or fingers. The right tool is a vibrator, which an (albeit dwindling) number of men find threatening What’s the easiest way to orgasm for most women? In one survey of more than 500 women, 34% said using theirbfingers or rubbing against something was the easiest way to climax; 14% said using their vibrator. That’s nearly half of all female orgasms achieved without a man even in the country, let alone the room! The next most reliable method, at 14%, was receiving MouthAction. Just 6% of women said they could orgasm from intercourse alone (read that again, just so it sinks in), though 12% said if there was added clitoral stimulation (fingers or a vibe) they could manage it (and that bit). 3. ABOUT FAKING IT Yes, one of your lovers (if not most) have faked it and no, you probably couldn’t or can’t tell. There are some clues, but they’re not absolutely reliable. A flushed face, a red rash that appears and disappears quickly on the chest or neck, vaginal contractions, a rapid heart rate and a clitoris that’s sensitive to touch directly afterward are some of the signs. But here’s the best way tobguarantee your current or next girlfriend/wife won’t fake it: make it abundantly clear it won’tbbe an issue if she doesn’t orgasm. Not in a ‘I know it’s really difficult for women…so let’s not even try’, type of way, just find out what she likes, try your best but then shut up for a bit. It takes time. Nothing worse than being on the brink and you choosing that moment to pop back up, looking expectant andbasking, ‘Do you think it’s going to happen soon?’ 4. ABOUT HER LIBIDO Because of hormones, women feel like sex lots at certain times of the month and less (or not at all) at others. Men’s sex drives tend to be more consistent more spontaneous. You’ll feel aroused, then instigate sex because of it. Women’s sex drives are more stimulative. This means we might not feel like sex at all but once we start having it, desire kicks in. In practical terms, this means most women are particularly up for it at a particular time in their monthly cycle. And very much not up for it at others. It also means it’s worth both of you giving it the old college try on ‘sort of interested’ days because she might perk up after some skilful and tactfully timed pre-intimacy. The all-time best sex tip though remains the same. If you really want to know how to be the best lover she’s everbhad, ask her to tell you what she likes. Tongues are great for lots of things in bed but their most useful purpose is for talking! Communication is key. |

With less than 11 days to the commencement of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, 2015 Batch ‘A’ orientation course, this piece was compiled to educate the prospective Corps Members and any other interested party on what to expect in and outside the NYSC Camp . If we recall, the NYSC 2015 Batch ‘A’ orientation course starts on 5th, of May and ends on 26th, May 2015. Please as you read, kindly share with your friends too. 1.

Life in the camp is deliberately made stressful so as to prepare you for any challenge that may confront you outside the camp . You will not find it too comfortable, It’s a camp and not your Father’s house! Just be ready for anything. 2. Itemize All Your Needs Using A Scale Of Preference (very important ones first): 1.

Cooler cup and spoon p. Phone and charger q. Beverages r. Ladies could add any other few conveniences. I believe you understand me s. Money! Money! Money! Hold good cash please depending on how you spend NYSC-Corpers 3. Go Early: Please, no matter how close the camp might be to your street, enable to go early. If you are posted to a far state, go the day before the camp opens. They will allow you in. Going late will make you go through registration stress. Be warned! 4. Screening: The screening starts at the gate, where your loads are open and thoroughly search. They don’t want you to bring in prohibited items like iron, knives, bombs, etc. 5. Registration: The first registration will certainly be for hostel/ bedspace, where you;ll be given tags to identify with. Then the paper registrations proper follows. try as much as possible to make everything available. Look out for information pasted on walls. Follow instructions strictly. 6. Your Kits: During the registration, you will get all your kits (shirts, shorts and shoes). Use the marker to write your Code Number (CN) on them ‘sharp-sharp” You will also be given a tag that will show your CN. That will be your ID Card temporarily. You take it everywhere in camp . You will be given a meal ticket. Misplace it and forget about NYSC food. 7. Duration: You will be in the camp for 20 full days. The 21st day is the day you will be leaving the camp . nysc-corpers1 8. No Room For Casual Wears: Immediately you have your kits, only your T-shirt and shorts with the tennis shoe are allowed on you. No room for casual wears. Parade/marching training starts immediately. The soldiers will not give you breathing space at all. You will have the first one that same Day One. Watch Out! people could be fainting on the Parade Ground. You won’t faint, calm down… So eat well. It’s the stress that causes their fainting. 9. Morning Regimented Programme: A small trumpet wakes you at 4am. Everybody gathers at the Parade Ground (PG) at 4:30am. You have your praise, worship and prayer the Christian and Muslim ways. After the morning admonitions, by 7am, breakfast follows! After eating, you will be called out again for the series of programmes lined up for you. Then you have your lunch. Rest a little and you are out again for evening parade. Then later your dinner. This will repeat itself everyday perhaps except on Sunday. 10. Hate The Food And Feed Yourselves At Your Costs: You may not like the food. You can always go to the Mammy Market (MM) i.e the Camp Market to fill your ‘tank’ with delicacies at your cost. 11. Stealing: Stealing is prevalently prevailing at the Camp . This is ‘legalised’. They can steal anything. Be wise. 12. Soldiers: Please i beckon on you all to respect and obey them. although they are not permitted to beat you, however, they can punish you. No walking, its all jogging when they call you. Don’t prostrate or kneel down greeting a soldier. Do it the soldier way. They could be friendly anyway. 13. Allawe: Your first allowance (#19, 800) will be given to you in the camp , and it will be in cash. All other ones will be through the bank. You will also get Bicycle Allowance. 14. Photography: Photographers are going to be everywhere ready to snap you, please be prudent in spending. Corps-members 15. By Now Your Done With Camp And Going To Your Place Of Primary Assignment: You will be posted from the camp to where you will work. The place you work in is called your Place of Primary Assignment (PPA). Hear this: most Corps members, I mean about 90% of the Corpers will be posted to schools (especially primary and secondary schools). Only VERY FEW will be posted to the universities, polytechnics and Colleges. Please! Don’t lobby for your posting. Don’t pay anybody for assistance. Pray rather than pay. Gone are the days when Corps Members are posted to Banks and Co. Receive the shocking or expected postings as you receive your letters with joy. It’s a clarion call to service; that’s what they call it. 16. Transportation Out Of Camp : When you get your Posting Letter, the first place to go to is your PPA. If you are identified with the Fellowship in camp , you may first report at the temporary lodge they will provide. Then you could report at your PPA later same day or the following day. Please, when you leave the camp , home- sweet-home will be on your mind, having been used up in the camp. But please, don’t go home straight. Please! Very few of your employers (i.e. PPAs) will send down vehicles to convey you from the camp to their workplaces. Private and some Govt higher education institutions do. The Fellowship too make arrangement for you at your cost. Commercial transporters will likely be available at the gate too. Be wise. 17. Accommodation At PPA: You don’t know anybody in Benue or Kogi! Where will you sleep on the first day? The Fellowship may give you a temporary accommodation pending the time you will have to get yours. You could be lucky if your employer gives you a room. Many of them don’t give Corpers accommodation anyway. So be prepared to rent one at your cost. Your first ‘allowee’ which you received in the camp is already going down! 18. Clearance: This is why you don’t have to go home straight. Your registration (clearance) at the NYSC Office in the Local Govt you will be posted to is important. Failure to complete it before going home is the beginning of your problem. He may begin to have problems with his subsequent monthly allowances. Do all registrations first. Then you can take permission to go home. Long process! You will know why it’s so. Well, I hope these few tips will go a long way to help you. In order to ensure a seamless registration process, printing of call-up letters and so on, prospective corps members are urged to visit these NYSC sites below: www. nysc.gov.ng www. nysc.org.ng www.portal. nysc .gov.ng Best of Success!!! 1 Like |

1. Pray for Your Priest(s) “The most important thing a parishioner can do for his/ her priest is pray for them. We are always praying for someone, even required to offer a Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation on behalf of our parishioners. It’s just good to know that they pray for us everyday.” “A rosary, a holy hour, a small offering or a daily suffering offered for the priest.” “Send cards to priests with assurances of prayer for their intentions.” “The offering of prayers for the priest and his ministry. (It’s a great joy to know of prayers since I know that my life and ministry are only as fruitful as the people praying for me.)” 2. Cook Them a Meal, Especially on Their Busy Days "It would be nice if someone made sure that the priest (s) of the parish had a nice cooked meal on Sundays and major holidays. We often have no cooks and after a long morning, it would be nice to come home to something we didn’t have to make.” “Find out his favorite meal and make it for him.” 3. Celebrate Their Special Days “Celebrating the priest’s birthday and ordination day are good thoughts, too.” “It's nice to be remembered on the day of my priestly ordination.” 4. Pray More, Complain Less “The vast majority of interactions seem to revolve around a complaint about the priest, the parish, a parishioner, the music, the temperature in the church, a burned out lightbulb, a decision, etc. and rarely about the supernatural realities.” 5. Offer to Help “Don’t wait to be asked! Priests are ordained to give, and it’s hard for us to ask for things.” “Volunteer your time to the parish as a sign of support and service.” “Consider increasing your tithe to show your support for the parish and priest.” 6. Go to Mass and/or Confession “Nothing will make a priest happier.” “Pick a day, go to a Mass that he's celebrating, and get a bunch of people to sit in the front rows. When Father asks you after Mass why, tell him you were offering your participation at Mass in thanksgiving for His priesthood.” 7. Write Them a Note Expressing Your Gratitude “A note, especially to a priest with whom you’ve lost touch, letting him know how his priesthood impacted your life - and that you’re still with the program - means a lot.” “My favorite thing to receive from people is a letter. Not a card with a few words. Those are nice too, but I love receiving a letter or a card with a substantial message in it. It is very powerful to hear somebody describe exactly HOW the thing I said or did was so fruitful for them. It is a reminder that Jesus is a lot bigger than me and he can do great things with the little I have to offer.” “I really appreciate when people say to me personally or send notes of gratitude: "Thanks for your priesthood", "Thanks for being our pastor." ‘Thanks for answering the call.’” “Tell them that they have made a difference in your life.” “Write them a thank you with a tone of appreciation.” “Simple notes mean a great deal to priests these days. Things like notes of appreciation after funerals and weddings a simple compliment after a well prepared homily.” “Being specific helps!” 8. Say Thank You “Thank the priest for every Mass. Even if you don’t necessarily like the priest, as the Mass is always about the presence of Jesus.” “Even something as simple as saying to the priest after confession "Thank you for your ministry and I will pray for you" can mean a great deal.” “Make a video asking random parishioners one thing they would like to thank Fr. ____ for.” 9. Give Them a Compliment “Look for opportunities to compliment priests. Even ones you don’t particularly like.” “I always cheer up when someone tells me after Mass, ‘That was a beautiful Mass, Father.’” 10. Look Out for Their Wellbeing “Encourage priest to take time off.” 11. Save the Drama for Yo Mama “Avoid and discourage gossip about priests and parishes.” “Don’t gossip or criticize, instead offer to help and to build up. I wonder how many vocations were ruined when young people hear adults tear down the priest, usually because of some petty parish dispute.” 12. Let Him Know You Have His Back “When you witness a situation when someone is being rude to a priest, let him know that you noticed and express compassion.” 13. Establish a Relationship “Don’t tell him what you don’t like if that’s the first time you’ve bothered to talk to him.” “Say hello before telling him what’s wrong.” 14. Have Realistic Expectations and Be Helpful “He’s probably not a plumber, so don’t expect him to fix the leaky pipe. But definitely do ask him if he knows it’s leaking.” “Always assume good will. Offering feedback is helpful, but criticism and complaint given without humility and sincere love is draining after a while. “ 15. Don’t Be a “Priest Collector” “Don't think that you have to have the priest over every Sunday. Don't expect to be the priest's friend - he is your pastor/assistant and he needs to keep things professional. Don't brag to fellow parishioners how "Close you guys are" as then that creates animosity or jealously - and THAT stresses the priest out.” 16. Be Supportive “Whenever there is something that is stressful, such as a difficult time during the parish, I know "reinforcement" is appreciated. I haven't had much of that in my first 5 years (yet) but I recall some tremendously difficult funerals where people sent a nice note. I recall discovering a stash of notes here at St. Mary's from 23 years ago when the school closed. The newspapers and some very vocal but few people were out for the pastor, using attacks of "racist" and "uncaring." The pastor, then, saved all the dozens of notes from people offering to him their understanding at the difficult decision he made.” 17. Give Him Space “Sometimes it's good to be just left alone, too. Stay away from what is called "unkind kindness" which is assuming Father is (Lonely, depressed, stressed, anxious, etc) when sometimes he needs to just blow off some steam.” 18. Invite Him Over “It's nice when people think to invite me to family gatherings: special birthdays or anniversary celebrations, holiday dinners (even though I usually decline because I'm with my own family -- it's nice to be invited).” 19. Strive for Holiness “Ultimately, being the saint God desires them to be! There’s nothing more exciting for a priest than witnessing holiness in the lives of the people to whom he ministers; not only is that an experience of grace that his labor is bearing fruit but it’s also tremendously edifying in his own pursuit of holiness.” I hope this list has inspired you to do something for your priest. Remember, each priest has his own preferences and ways that make him feel appreciated. Some may really like being invited over for dinner, while other priests may recharge with a quiet dinner alone in the rectory. Every priest I contacted mentioned a well- thought, meaningful letter or card mentioning specific ways he helped you. Maybe that’s a great place to start. No matter what you do, let’s make sure we let our priests know just how much we care for them. Feel free to add additional ways or creative takes on the above in the comments. All you priests out there, let us know what you like! www.focus.org/blog/posts/19-ways-to-let-your-parish-priest-know-you-appreciate-him.html Source : |

No truer words have ever been written. In addition to this, here’s what I want to say. Dear ladies, if a man shows you he doesn’t care, believe him. He doesn’t care. Now read this deep stuff below which I found online written by a man about wasting your time with a man who doesn’t want to marry you… The idea that men are clueless allows them to get away with all manner of bad behavior that would have been intolerable just a generation or two ago. Men know that most women want marriage. Women need to know that many men will do everything in their power to get all the benefits of marriage, except without commitment. While you’re getting exasperated thinking he’s stupid because he spends money on you, he’s running you. Men understand women on a level that you can never begin to grasp, because it’s from the mindset of a hunter. And a good hunter has an intrinsic understanding of his prey. Women make the mistake of thinking that they are wiser than men. Immoral men understand a crucial component of the female psyche: For most women: Hope springs eternal, so if he plays his cards right, he can string you along for years without proposing. Most of us know at least one woman who waited for a man to marry her, waited sometimes for a decade or more. She played house with him, took care of him, cooked, cleaned, etc. but he never married her. Finally she ends the relationship and he marries the next woman he dates after only six months or maybe less. I think we all know a woman like this because it reinforces something we already know: MEN MARRY THE WOMEN THEY WANT TO MARRY. And if you’re not that woman you are not just it. It’s absolutely foolish to play wife for a man who can’t be bothered to actually marry you. Bottom line is; if you’ve reached the point in your relationship where it’s time for “The Talk” and it hasn’t happened, or he brushes it off when you raise the subject, move on. Why? Because men who want to get married, get married. It’s not that he’s not into marriage, or he’s still dealing with “issues” from a previous relationship, or whatever other folder he puts out there. There’s only one reason a man doesn’t get married: HE DOESN’T WANT TO. At least, NOT TO YOU. Don’t fool yourself. A man who wants you will be rushing YOU to the altar. Why? Because he’s terrified that you’ll get away from him. A man in love is all too aware that he has a pearl beyond price. Further he knows there is a plethora of other predatory males just waiting to snatch her away. You don’t have to beg him or persuade him or coerce him, trap him with pregnancy or fast for days. The only thing you’ll get for all your trouble is a decimated self- esteem and the knowledge that you wasted your skinny years on a man who didn’t want you in the first place.

Pope Francis sent out a warm letter to Nigerians & Nigerian Priest/Bishops yesterday March 17th encouraging everyone in the face of the various boko haram attacks. The Pope’s letter below; To the Bishops of Nigeria Dear Brother Bishops, While we walk this Lenten journey towards the Resurrection of the Lord united with the whole Church, I wish to extend to you, dear Archbishops and Bishops of Nigeria, a fraternal greeting, which I extend to the beloved Christian communities entrusted to your pastoral care. I would also like to share some thoughts with you on the current situation in your country. Nigeria, known as the “African giant”, with its more than 160 million inhabitants, is set to play a primary role, not only in Africa but in the world at large. In recent years, it has experienced robust growth in the economic sphere and has again reasserted itself on the world stage as an attractive market, on account of its natural resources as well as its commercial potential. It is now considered officially the single largest African economy. It has also distinguished itself as a political player widely committed to the resolution of crisis situations in the continent. At the same time, your nation has had to confront considerable problems, among them new and violent forms of extremism and fundamentalism on ethnic, social and religious grounds. Many Nigerians have been killed, wounded or mutilated, kidnapped and deprived of everything: their loved ones, their land, their means of subsistence, their dignity and their rights. Many have not been able to return to their homes. Believers, both Christian and Muslim, have experienced a common tragic outcome, at the hands of people who claim to be religious, but who instead abuse religion, to make of it an ideology for their own distorted interests of exploitation and murder. I would like to assure you and all who suffer of my closeness. Every day I remember you in my prayers and I repeat here, for your encouragement and comfort, the consoling words of the Lord Jesus, which must always resound in our hearts: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you” (Jn 14:27). Peace – as you know so well – is not only the absence of conflict or the result of political compromise or fatalistic resignation. Peace is for us a gift which comes from on high; it is Jesus Christ himself, the Prince of Peace, who has made of two peoples one (cf. Eph 2:14). And only the man or woman who treasures the peace of Christ as a guiding light and way of life can become a peacemaker (cf. Mt 5:9). At the same time, peace is a daily endeavour, a courageous and authentic effort to favour reconciliation, to promote experiences of sharing, to extend bridges of dialogue, to serve the weakest and the excluded. In a word, peace consists in building up a “culture of encounter”. And so I wish here to express my heartfelt thanks to you, because in the midst of so many trials and sufferings the Church in Nigeria does not cease to witness to hospitality, mercy and forgiveness. How can we fail to remember the priests, religious men and women, missionaries and catechists who, despite untold sacrifices, never abandoned their flock, but remained at their service as good and faithful heralds of the Gospel? To them, most particularly, I would like to express my solidarity, and to say: do not grow tired of doing what is right! We give thanks to the Lord for them, as for so many men and women of every social, cultural and religious background, who with great willingness stand up in concrete ways to every form of violence, and whose efforts are directed at favouring a more secure and just future for all. They offer us moving testimonies, which, as Pope Benedict XVI recalled at the end of the Synod for Africa, show “the power of the Spirit to transform the hearts of victims and their persecutors and thus to re-establish fraternity” (Africae Munus, 20). Dear Brother Bishops, in perseverance and without becoming discouraged, go forward on the way of peace (cf. Lk 1:79). Accompany the victims! Come to the aid of the poor! Teach the youth! Become promoters of a more just and fraternal society! I gladly impart to you my Apostolic Blessing, which I ask you to extend to priests, religious, missionaries, catechists, lay faithful and above all to those suffering members of the Body of Christ. May the Resurrection of the Lord bring conversion, reconciliation and peace to all the people of Nigeria! I commend you to Mary, Queen of Africa, and I ask you also to pray for me. FRANCISCUS PP. 1 Like |

First-time parents Kate and David Ogg were heartbroken when they were told one of their twins – born 2 minutes apart at just 26 weeks – had stopped breathing and had just moments to live. Thinking it was the only time they would have with the tiny boy they had already decided to name Jamie, Kate asked to be able to hold the lifeless child, and told David to climb into the hospital bed for a tender embrace. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle. In this mother’s loving arms, the little boy started moving, and his breathing grew stronger. Hospital staff rushed back to his aid and together brought the baby back to life. Five years on, Jamie Ogg (pictured right) is a healthy, happy kid whose biggest problem regarding his troubled entry in the world is having a little brother who tells anyone who’ll listen that he used to be dead but now he’s alive. After years of trying to fall pregnant, the Queensland couple were delighted to find out they were having twins – the ‘pigeon pair’ of a boy and girl. But just six months into the pregnancy they found themselves in the delivery room and facing premature births. Jamie was born first on March 25, 2010 and his sister Emily followed two minutes later. ‘They were both born in their sac but Jamie didn’t make a noise when they tore it open. Emily let out a big wail,’ Ms Ogg told Daily Mail Australia. ‘We looked over and everyone was crowding around Jamie – there was about 20 people in the room. The vibe wasn’t very good. ‘He stopped breathing and his heartbeat was nearly gone. After 20 minutes they stopped working on him.’ The doctor sat on the end of Ms Ogg’s hospital bed and asked the couple if they had a name picked out. He then informed them that there was nothing more they could do to save Jamie. ‘I saw him gasp but the doctor said it was no use. I took Jamie off the doctor, asked everyone to leave. He was cold and I just wanted him to be warm,’ she said. ‘We had tried for years to have kids and I felt so guilty. I just wanted to cuddle him. I unwrapped him and ordered my husband to take his shirt off and climb into the bed. ‘I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping there was still a sign of life so I wasn’t going to give up easily. ‘We were trying to entice him to stay. We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we tried to have him. ‘He suddenly gasped… then he opened his eyes. He was breathing and grabbing Dave’s finger. ‘If we had let the doctor walk out of the room with him, Jamie would have been dead.’ Jamie and Emily are now about to turn five years old and their parents have only recently told them of the miraculous story. ‘Emily burst into tears, she was really upset and she kept hugging Jamie,’ Ms Ogg said. ‘They love to talk about when they were babies. ‘They have a little brother Charlie who loves telling anyone who listens. He’ll say: “When I was born I was fat and the twins were skinny.

In the South East, you get ogiri (sometimes made from fermented pumpkin seed); in the South West, have iru; and in the North, you have dawadawa. Whichever region of Nigeria you go, you are sure to get a nutritional and medicinal seasoning. Locust bean, commonly referred to as iru, is a local seasoning used in soups and stews. A very popular soup ingredient, especially among the elderly women, globally, it is referred to as African locust bean with botanical name as Parkia biglobosa. Before the advent of modern seasonings like bullion cubes, it was such a condiment that could not be done without. Even at that, it has in recent years assumed a great deal of popularity among the younger generation in view of different kinds of diseases now commonly associated with the modern condiments and seasonings. The product is obtainable from a perennial tree legume which plays an important part in traditional agriculture, but has not entered commercial trade to any significant extent. A nutritionist and a staffer of Oyo State Ministry of Health, simply identified as Mrs. Alarape, spoke with Food and Beverages on this highly nutritious soup ingredient. “Parkia trees are found in Africa, South-East Asia and Tropical South-America as well,” she said. Insisting that the tree is not only popular in Africa or Yorubaland, as the case may be, she disclosed that “in Malaysia and Indonesia, the whole foods, including seeds of parkia speciosa are eaten raw or cooked as a vegetable known as ‘petal’. She further explained that in West Africa, from Gambia to Cameroun, “the beans of the Savanna species, parkia biglobosa, are widely fermented to the traditional dawadawa, while the yellow pericarp pulp is eaten as a fresh food which is the product of the seeds”. Locust bean, she analysed “is made from proximate composition of protein (30 per cent), fat (15 per cent) crude fibre (four per cent) ash (two per cent and carbohydrates (49 per cent). The raw fruit pulp is said to contain natural sugar and thus a potential source of energy, and the attractive yellow colour indicates the presence of phyto nutrients, possibly carotenoids which are important precursors of retinol (Vitamin A). It also has a sour taste which indicates the presence of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). When it is fermented, the Yoruba have a way of getting two types from it, the mashed type and the loose or free type, and they are used for different types of soups, but for the same purpose. Locust bean is said to have some derivable nutritional benefits such as its impact on controlling blood pressure, whereby the diastolic blood pressure measurement enjoys more reduction than the systolic. The possible use of fermented locust bean seed in controlling diabetes and cholesterol level has been confirmed. Also, high levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL) – the good cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein (LDL) – the bad cholesterol, were observed in animals treated with the water extract of locust beans. The African locust bean tree has also been found to possess wonders. For instance, the pulverised bark of the tree is employed in wound healing and serves as one of the ingredients is used in treating leprosy. The decoction of the bark is also used as bath for fever and as a hot mouth wash to steam and relieve toothache in Cote d’Ivoire. Scientists have also concluded that both the water and alcoholic extracts of fermented seeds of African locust bean exact a blood sugar-lowering effect. Only the water extract of it can ameliorate the loss of body weight usually associated with diabetes. Despite the derivable benefits and the emerging popularity of the fermented locust beans, the production seems to be the exclusive preserve of the old generation, and this is giving experts worry as to what becomes of its future in the contemporary Yoruba/ African setting.

Real Madrid went into the second leg of the champions league round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Schalke 04. Surprisingly though; German side, Schalke, came ready for a fight at the Bernabeu. And they did exactly that as they beat Real Madrid 4-3 at home with only a goal left to see them through to the next round. Ronaldo scored a brace on the night, otherwise Madrid might have been singing a different song. In spite of his scoring twice, the Portuguese forward was obviously frustrated and did not fail to show it during and after the match. He was heard telling Benzema during the closing stages that “this is embarrassing”. The Madrid forward has been below par for a while now. “I’m not going to talk,” he said to the press in the mixed zone. “I won’t talk to the press again until the end of the season.” |

What makes a man fall in love ? A man falls in love with you because he knows he can be himself around you. He falls in love with you because he feels SAFE expressing his innermost, private feelings with you. He feels this way because he knows that you can handle your feelings. He can sense that. And because he senses that at the most unconscious level, he starts to long for your company, for your touch, for your affection. He may not even know why he feels this way. Once a man feels safe around you, he starts to long for your company, for your touch, and for your affection. He may not even know why he feels this way. All he knows is that there’s something special about you that he doesn’t feel with any other woman in his life. He’s in love . He wants to take you in his arms and keep you forever. This is the “secret psychology” of men and love. I say it’s a secret because it’s little-understood by women (AND men). It’s rare that either you or he will know exactly WHY he feels mesmerized by you and wants to get close to you and pursue you for something serious and long-lasting. Many of us are wrong about why a man falls in love We think a man needs sex, or has to have a fabulously gorgeous woman with a great body. We think a man falls for us because we’re sweet to him, and kind, and giving. ESPECIALLY giving. So we do things for him. We cook lovely meals and offer deep, thoughtful advice on whatever troubles him. We light candles whenever he comes over. We put on our sexiest clothes and buy lacy lingerie. “We give our bodies, our souls, our minds to him. And STILL he tells us that he’s not sure how he feels.” We become exclusive with him without even a passing thought to what WE want, or whether or not he has met our needs yet for a secure, loving and committed relationship. And STILL he tells us that he’s not sure how he feels. Or he becomes distant and moody. Or he stops calling or asking us out as often as he used to. Or he does something very hurtful, or cheats on us, or tells us that he doesn’t believe you’re “meant” to be together. This happens because deep down, you didn’t trigger love in his HEART. You didn’t connect on the deepest, most intimate level … his feelings. How to connect with a man ’s heart First, here’s what doesn’t connect with a man ’s heart: When you tell a man about what you think about the relationship, or what you did that day, or what you think of the latest news you’ve read or the gossip at work. He listens. He participates in the conversation. But his feelings aren’t triggered. That’s because you share everything but who you are. You put up walls with him without even knowing you’re doing it. You decide not to tell him the sorrow you felt that morning or how a friend made you happy by calling you and cheering you up. Or, you actually don’t even pay attention to your own emotions. You’re too busy with your to-do lists and tasks. But if you were to allow yourself to FEEL what you’re feeling, and then speak from those feelings, you would make him feel safe and connected to you. It seems like such a simple thing. But for so many of us, it’s such a counter-intuitive thing. It’s difficult. We’re not used to being juicy, sexy, FEELING creatures. So many of us are programmed to be doing, thinking, managing, worrying creatures. Unfortunately, these qualities make a man feel nothing around you. When you become a feminine, juicy, sensual FEELING creature, you magnetize him simply by being what you were always meant to be… an alluring woman who is soft on the outside, but strong and resilient on the inside. |

A stable relationship is based on trust, and if that is broken, it would be very difficult to heal. If there is a problem within the relationship, talk with her about your concerns. All women have things they need in a relationship. Women want a man to be someone they can rely on, depend on and confide in along with making her feel happy, secure and loved. However, when things like insensitive remarks, little hurts and frustration pile up in a long term relationship, she might get to the point where she simply says “enough is enough” and leaves. It’s a general rule that when your girlfriend decides to leave you, you’ve done something wrong. Chances are, you’ve done a lot of things wrong and depending on your situation, she probably left you for reasons you didn’t think. Here are some reasons why women leave men. 1. Lack of Attention Women love it when their men notice things about them and actually talks and listens to them. If there is a lack of communication and she notices, she’s likely to feel unsatisfied in the relationship even if everything else is going well. Listen to her when she talks. If she doesn’t feel like she’s receiving love and attention from you, she’ll eventually find someone who will treat her right. 2. Lack of Appreciation Women do a lot more than men tend to give them for, so appreciate the little things you girlfriend does for you. Be sure you compliment her on her attire or how good she does on things. Let her know that you do appreciate her doing things for you. 3. Cheating When you cheat, you acknowledge that something isn’t right in your relationship. However, instead of dealing with it, you decide that having an affair is the best way to handle it. When you get caught cheating , the fragile bridge of trust is broken. A stable relationship is based on trust, and if that is broken, it would be very difficult to heal. If there is a problem within the relationship, talk with her about your concerns. After all, how would you feel if she did it to you? 4. Lack of emotional support Women are unique creatures and they require a lot of emotional support. They need to feel loved, needed and emotionally connected to their men. Women want their emotions met which means if they are supportive of you, they would like you to be supportive of them. If you cannot meet her emotionally needs, it is most likely she will turn elsewhere for companionship. 5. Lack of Intimacy Women do not want to feel as if you only want them for s*x. They want true intimacy, which means physical contact without s*x sometimes. If you only come around her when you want s*x, she will be become dissatisfied and will not even want to be touched by you. 6. Lack of Ambition Women who are ambitious will seek out a partner that is also ambitious. Women like to date men whom they can move forward with and they like to look ahead and see a bright future. Women want to know that a man can take care of himself, so having an unfavorable lifestyle and showing no signs of maturity can make a woman leave you quickly. 7. You were too controlling Most women want men who will protect them and make them feel safe–but they don’t want a dictator. Women do not want their boyfriends to tell them where to go, when to leave, who to talk to, or what to wear. Dating a guy with a controlling nature can be pretty scary for women and this will cause them to end the relationship. 8. You were too abusive Abuse is not only physical. It can also take a verbal form. Being deceitful, having a short fuse, being overly- critical and belittling someone to make them feel worthless is also a type of abuse. Displaying these negative behaviors will cause her to leave you. Nobody wants to be with someone who is abusive. |

You’re 25-years old and have your whole life ahead of you, or at least that’s the plan. You also have been firmly convinced that you know everything. Let me tell you, you don’t. But for those who’d like to listen, here is a little advice from old folks about mistakes you do not want to make while you’re young. Some will haunt you for life. 1) Getting married to the wrong person , too soon – there’s no law stating that you have to get married in your twenties. There should be a law against marrying the wrong person without seriously considering the consequences . Ending a bad relationship is difficult. Ending a bad marriage is anightmare . You have the rest of your life to fall in love, don’t rush it. 2) Neglecting your health – You’re young, slim and looking good, with no exercise and a horrible diet. Just wait a few years, when you are gaining weight that never goes away or your hooked up to some machine because you’ve spent your whole life smoking or drinking. Start good habits now and they will stay with you for life. 3) Not investing in your future – you think that dropping out of school is the right thing to do? Let’s hope you’re not 40 years old hating yourself for not making the right decision. If you fail to plan today, you are throwing tomorrow into the garbage. Also, you should start saving for retirement now, not when you have enough money. You’ll never feel like you have enough. 4) Choosing a career for money and nothing else – Money feels really good the first time you receive it. Then, over time, the impact diminishes. You’ll be addicted to the paycheck, of course, but it won’t make you feel good about getting up every day for a job you hate. Find a profession that helps you to earn a decent living, while also giving you some joy, or start a business on the side. It’ll truly impact your quality of life. 5) Neglecting the importance of family – Family is all you’ve got most of the time. That love interest who swears he’ll be by your side forever probably won’t, but a good parent or sibling always will. Also, if you have kids, you should realize that these are the precious times, and also the time when you’ll be forming that lifelong foundation. Don’t blow it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Cristiano Ronaldo is the richest footballer in the world, according to the 2015 Goal Rich List, an annual chart of the game’s wealthiest active players. The Real Madrid star, 30, also topped the list in 2014 but has bolstered his position over the last 12 months to emerge €10 million ahead of second-placed Lionel Messi with an overall personal wealth of €210m. Ronaldo has increased his wealth substantially, thanks largely to having collected bonuses for helping Real Madrid to the Champions League and Club World Cup crowns. He also received a sum for winning the 2014 Ballon d’Or. Added to that, further earnings were reaped from commercial deals with companies such as Toyota, Herbalife and Samsung, while his long-term association with Nike remained a key money-spinner. Barcelona’s Messi, who was just €2m short of Ronaldo’s wealth in 2014, continues to generate huge amounts off the field through both commercial tie-ins and property moves, which have seen him build up an extensive portfolio. Industry experts worked with specialists across the globe to bring together the final chart for 2015, detailing a catalogue of investments by the world’s best-paid and financially-savvy players. Neymar charted third in the Goal Rich List, with he and his family still benefitting from a huge chunk of the forward’s transfer from Santos in 2013. Paris Saint- Germain’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic came in fourth, with Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney the fifth and final player to register personal wealth of over €100m. Former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham topped the list in 2013 before his retirement from the game. Check the first 2o Goal Rich List 2015 – Top 20 1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) – €210m 2. Lionel Messi (Barcelona) – €200m 3. The Neymar family (Barcelona) – €135m 4. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (PSG) – €105m 5. Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) – €103m 6. Kaka (Orlando City) – €96m 7. Samuel Eto’o (Sampdoria) – €87m 8. Raul (New York Cosmos) – €85m 9. Ronaldinho (Queretaro) – €83m 10. Frank Lampard (Manchester City) – €80m 11.

Many people do not understand the nature of cheating within a relationship. Although there may be two sides to the story, unfaithfulness is not acceptable and is emotionally harmful to the other spouse. Consider the sincerity of the person who betrayed you when they ask for reconciliation . You cannot go to them; they have to come to you. Once they do, you have to be sure it will not happen again. Unless you know your partner very well and can account for their actions, you will probably not be able to reassure yourself that it was a one-time event. If you can get past all that, move the spotlight onto yourself. Assure yourself you can live with the knowledge of your partner’s betrayal in your relationship before you go any further. No one expects you to forget, but you have to be willing to forgive. Otherwise, your relationship may turn into a vicious cycle of mistrust, revenge and unspoken hate. If you say you will forgive, you have to mean it. Nevertheless, before you do, be sure that your partnerunderstands the kind of irreversible damage they have committed. Begin mending the relationship . It’s like going back to square one. You have to be sure the conditions that may have caused or allowed for the betrayal are eradicated from your relationship. For example, the person who your partner cheated with has to be out of the picture. No friendship, no once in a while gatherings–no contact whatsoever. Dig deeper: Apart from staring at Internet porn or getting the seven-year itch for greener grass in the neighbour’s yard, the root cause of the problem has to be discovered, discussed and dealt with. Things between you and your partner will never be the same again, but with a little work, it can still be good. You have to find common ground, strengthen the love that remains and support one another in every way possible. |
