Have you ever wondered if there are guys out there that simply will not marry you? Are there certain men from whom you should just stay away because chances are, the relationship is going to be an exercise in frustration for you? You are not alone — many women think about this all the time. And yes, there are certain types of men that you should just plain avoid because if you were playing the odds, the odds say these guys are just not going to seal the deal with you. Here are 10 types of men that I, as a professional matchmaker, would recommend you stay clear of: 1. Mr. “Still Hung Up On His Ex”: We have all been out with this guy. He says he is over his ex, yet at every turn, he talks about her and compares you to her. Please. He is not over her and until he is over her, he is not marrying you. 2. Mr. “I Am Not Ready For A Serious Relationship Right Now”: This is the guy who dates a lot and then when he gets too close or decides he isn’t interested in you, he uses the excuse that he’s not ready. The question about this guy is this: Is he really not ready, or is that just a convenientexcuse to dump you and avoid the commitment? 3.Mr. “Bigger Better Deal”: You know this guy. He is the one who likes you a lot but is always wondering if there is a better version of you out there, somewhere in the universe . Honestly, do you need to be with the guy who is never going to think that you are good enough to marry? 4. Mr. “I Hang Out With Guys 15 Years My Junior”: This is the guy who is 47 and a CEO of a company or a big-time executive and all of his contemporaries are married, so his BFFs are 25-year- olds and clubbing it. He is out until 3:00 a.m. several nights a week, looking to pick up and then he kids himself into thinking that when a 25-year- old girl says yes to a date with him, it’s because he is such a good guy, not because she is dreaming of flying private. 5. Mr. “Still Trying To Figure Out His Career”: If he is 40-plus and having a midlife work crisis, believe me, he is not going to marry you. Men need to be settled in their careers or at least know which direction they are heading on the career front before they can settle down. 6. Mr. “50-Something And Never Been Married”: This guy is lurking everywhere. He is 50-plus and never married, yet he will swear to you that he is ready. When you ask him why he is still single, he will tell you it’s because he hasn’t met the right one. Then the question becomes that if he hasn’t found her in the hundreds of women he has dated before you, what is going to make you so special that you are going to be his one? Probably nothing. 7. Mr. “Doesn’t Believe In Monogamy”: This guy thinks he is very avant-garde progressive, but most people will say he is just looking for an excuse to cheat. Do you really want to be with a guy who tells you upfront that he won’t be faithful? 8. Mr. “All About Me”: This guy is all about himself, 24/7, 365 days a year. Sharing your life with someone is hard enough, so do you really want to sign up to be with someone who is so into himself that they will never even notice you, your wants and your desires? 9. Mr. “My Kids Are The Only Thing I Care About”: This guy is a tricky one. When you first meet him, he is endearing because you admire how dedicated he is to his children. You think to yourself that you would like to be with a man who is that responsible. However, then you start to see that he doesn’t have any room for you at all because he is only about the kids. If you are going to be with a man with kids, he needs to want to find a place for you, front and center, in his life at least some of the time. 10. Mr. “Dates Other Women Who Mean Nothing To Him”: This guy is really a commitment-phobe in disguise. Why does he need to date women who mean nothing to him if he is dating you and you supposedly mean something to him? You do the math. Well, you want to add to it. Tell me then. Or you don’t agree. Let me know too. |

Read the press statement below… In a motion Exparte filed before an Ikeja High Court on Friday March 6 th 2015, the court granted an accelerated hearing for motion on notice in the case of defamatory and libelous documentary aired on DAAR Communications, AIT. The granted accelerated hearing comes up on Monday March 16, 2015. The exparte motion brought before Ikeja High Court – sought an order of interim injunction restraining the respondent, AIT whether by itself, agents, privies and or other persons from producing or continuing to broadcast, airing, or continuing to reproduce any defamatory documentary against the applicant which AIT started to broadcast on Sunday 1st of march , 2015 and has been repeating on a daily basis since then, Pending the airing and determination of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction dated 5th March ,2015 filed in this suit. The motion further noted as a fact that damages would not adequately compensate applicant/claimant if this ex-parte order is not granted. It prayed that the res of this suit may be extinguished if the ex-parte order is not granted. That there is real, imminent and urgent threat and danger of continuing to decimate the person and integrity of the applicant by the respondent by continuing to air the offensive broadcast if the ex-parte motion is not granted. That unless this application is granted, the defendant will not relent or suspend the broadcast of the said libelous documentary and that it is in the interest of justice to grant this application. The legal effect of the filing and notification of the pendency of a law suit under the legal doctrine of lis pendens is that all parties should exercise extreme caution particularly restraint in continuing with the act complained of. This is the minimal requirement of any law abiding citizen. This duty also extends to other members of the society who are expected to refrain from aggravating the damage complained of or in any way contributing to the quantum of damage. It takes on a more compelling dimension in this instance where the claimant has applied for injunctive restraining orders against the material complained against. The contrary can hardly be argued against the fact that affront to the judicial institution attracts criminal implications. The Tinubu legal team is led by Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN. Dr. Tunji Abayomi is also part of the legal team. Sunday Dare Media Adviser To Fmr. Governor Bola Tinubu

Apparently, in February 1988, the Nigerian military government banned all bleaching creams and soaps. Lucky for some Nigerians, democracy arose to save their bleaching rights. Lol. Credit: SeeMeSeeNigeria/New Straits Times – Jun 27, 1988.

Singer, Seyi Shay was among the entertainers who performed at the “GEJ Meet The Youth Forum” event in Lagos and the pretty diva ‘broke’ the internet with the dress she wore to meet the president at the event. The photo of the singer wearing an incredibly short dress, while sitting beside the president , went viral and so many fans and foes have expressed their feelings concerning Seyi’s outfit. In a recent interview with Saturday Beats, Sheyi Shay said she wasn’t trying to seduce the president . In her words: “I am a very respectable young lady and I was not in any way trying to seduce the President with the outfit I wore. I had two outfits for the event, one was for my performance and the other was worn after I performed. The dress I was pictured in with the President was what I wore during my performance. “I came on stage and greeted everyone according to their culture and I did the same for Mr. President. He was impressed and he asked where and how I knew how to greet in his native dialect and I said I learnt it. That was what brought about the giggling and smiles in the picture. I’m a performer and what I do on stage doesn’t reflect my everyday life. I had two outfits on that day and it was a youth event. Who wouldn’t feel overwhelmed meeting the President ? Well, I did and I felt honoured because it is not every day you get to meet the president of your country.”

Our 20s are messy. We’re trying to carve a meaningful path, feel significant in our daily lives and navigate the ever-changing social landscape. Stability feels like a luxury when we’re rapidly growing up and altering our courses. And yet, we’re constantly reminded that these are our 20s! The time of our lives! We should be enjoying this random chain of events, strapping ourselves in and riding the roller coaster. But what would make the trip easier? Breaking these habits that preclude us from becoming the people we want to be. Here’s the ultimate list of things every 20- something woman needs to stop doing… 1. Complaining that there are no available, good men. 2. Lamenting about how much you ate and listing all the food items (…and then eating a pizza for dinner). 3. Talking smack about people you like and hang out with. 4. Drunk texting. Seriously, that never ends well. 5. Neglecting your personal health and wellness. It’s important to take care of yourself. 6. Tanning. No excuses. 7. Having unprotected sex. 8. Hating your body and worrying about your weight. 9. Taking nude photos of yourself and thinking they’re safe with your boyfriend. 10. Pretending to be friends with people you no longer care about. You’re not doing anyone a favor. 11. Covering yourself in makeup. 12. Skipping the gym and then whining about not going. 13. Validating yourself by putting others down. 14. Drinking cheap liquor. Do your hangover a favor and upgrade. 15. Beating yourself up – we’re all young and learning. 16. Taking gratuitous selfies. Hate to break it to you, but no one cares. 17. Bitching that all men are the same. They aren’t, you know this, and it’s a waste of energy. 18. Stalking your ex on social media. Doesn’t matter what you find, it’s not going to comfort you. 19. Being afraid to take a chance on your career. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 20. Buying clothes at Forever21 because they are affordable…and then never wearing them. 21. Being mean to your parents. Give them a break, they’ve given you thousands. 22. Texting someone back after they’ve called you. It’s rude. 23. Getting upset over not having a boyfriend . He won’t want you if you’re frowning all the time. 24. Overspending money you don’t have. Live within your means and you’ll never feel stressed about finances. 25. Feeling intimidated by people you don’t know. Chances are they’re actually nice and friendly. 26. Drunk eating…(yeah, right). 27. Comparing yourself to others. You’ll never win. 28. Losing your cellphone — drunkenly or otherwise. 29. Purchasing jeans a size smaller in hopes of finally losing enough weight to fit into them. 30. Immediately responding with “Ew.” 31. Backing out of plans. 32. Trying too hard to get married. 33. Playing with your hair. 34. Shying away from opportunity because you’re too lazy to push yourself. 35. Thinking the guy has to initiate the plans. 36. Taking yourself too seriously. You’re reading Elite Daily for Pete’s sake! 37. Thinking you’re better than the nerdy guy at the bar trying to buy you a drink. By age 29, you’ll be begging these guys to take you out. 38. Planning to get “catch-up” drinks with your ex. There’s no such thing as platonic when he’s been inside you. 39. Drinking too much and crying at the bar. Ain’t nobody got time for that. 40. Buying too high heels and ruining your night wearing them. 41. Being too quick to judge someone outside of your social circle. 42. Wearing sweatpants outside of the house. If you look good, you’ll feel good. 43. Complicating your love life. 44. Becoming complacent with your routine. 45. Posting your relationship status, your baby’s pictures or about losing your first tooth on Facebook. 46. Texting while driving or while at the table. 47. Starving yourself. 48. Writing ignorant sh*t or stupid, hurtful comments online. 49. Committing a wrong-doing and not owning up to it. 50. Settling for less than your best. |

As I was going through my “ashana’s” bag some days ago and I saw three packets of POSTINOR 2 in it , I was very curious to actually know if this drug had very severe side effects to a lady so i consulted my real girlfriend “google. com” some hours later. Postinor 2 is a medication to prevent pregnancy if you shine the sperm into the ovary, whether intentional or not. It can prevent pregnancy 95% in the first 24 hours after intercourse, it is used as a form of emergency contraception (more commonly known as a morning after pill). Postinor-2 is formulated to function in a manner similar to the female hormone progesterone allowing for prevention of pregnancy if taken within a reasonable period of time. Generally, it is recommended that Postinor-2 be taken no later than three days after having unprotected s*x. EFFECTS OF POSTINOR 2 1) When taken in the middle of the menstrual cycle, the preparation may inhibit ovulation. 2) The pill can cause changes in the menstrual cycle in the lady. Your next period could start earlier or later than expected and flow can be lighter or heavier than normal. 3) It can cause nauseating feeling which occurs in approximately 25% of users vomiting 4) It can also bring about bleeding disturbances in some cases, 2-3 days following tablet ingestion 5) Sometimes it can cause breast tenderness, headache, dizziness, fatigue. 6) In the majority of cases the next period starts as expected or somewhat earlier, if the period is more than 7 days late it is recommended to perform a pregnancy test. 7) In case of prolonged or heavy bleeding, gynaecological examinations is advised. ![]() failure, hypertension, migraine, epilepsy, renal impairment, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia, depression, and / or stroke, the preparation may be used exclusively in the above mentioned emergency cases. it is not appropriate for regular use. The manufacturer of the emergency contraceptive offers the efficiency of the pill when it is taken as directed. Logically, the longer the interval between unprotected s*x and taking the pill, the decrease in how effective it will be. It is estimated that Postinor-2 will prevent 85% of expected pregnancies. 95% of expected pregnancies will be prevented if taken within the first 24 hours. So I employ every guy to always walk around with postinor2 because you never know when you will have a match because you don’t want to receive that “We need to Talk” text after 7 weeks.

PART 2[b]PART 2[/b]PART 2 1 Become a great person to talk to. Women love someone that they can really talk to in a significant way. Someone they can talk to and have it feel natural and not awkward. Be that person and her heart is yours. 2 Be a fun date. You want to be someone that's fun to date. Don't just sit around, complain the whole time, or make her make all the decisions. Be active in the things you do together and help her to have a great time. 3 Master making out . Good kissing skills, while not the most important, are certainly important enough that you'll want to consider working on your skills. Remember, practice makes perfect! 4 Learn how to turn her on . Be good at knowing how to stoke her fires. This shows her how much you care about her own pleasure, not just your own! Pay attention to what makes her feel good and spend more time focusing on her. 5 Cultivate your sense of humor . Everyone loves to laugh, so show her that you can bring laughter and joy to her life by learning how to make her laugh better and more often. Avoid the cheap shots at others expense in favor of clever comments, as this type of humor tends to appeal to women more. |

1 Don't try to attract every woman, try to attract her. Stop dressing and acting like you're hot stuff. You know the guy: the one that looks like he just stepped out from doing his test shots with a cheesy modeling agency, the one who gives The Look to every hot girl that walks by. Don't be that guy. Yes, women are initially attracted to this. But eventually they think that you're more interested in attracting women in general, instead of attracting them . Don't dress overly flashy and try to focus on wearing things that you know she likes, rather than trying to think about looking how you think women like. You should similarly save the flirting and close conversations for her and not use them with other women. 2 Take care of your body. Taking care of yourself shows her that you can also take care of her, if she ever wants to be taken care of. Practice good hygiene and exercise. You don't need to worry about losing weight, but you should feel healthy and in shape. Similarly, eat a healthy diet! 3 Dress like you mean business. Dressing poorly by wearing clothes that don't fit or have stains or holes show a woman that you don't respect yourself (which doesn't work in your favor!). Dressing in clothes that are out of date (too old fashioned), usually shows that you are mentally stuck in that time and cannot move forward. In order to show a woman that her heart is safe with you, dress in modern clothes that look good on your body, fit, and are clean. 4 Smell great. Women love someone who smells great. Shower regularly, use deodorant, brush your teeth, and you might even want to consider using a cologne or body spray. Citrus scents usually make for a clean scent that isn't overpowering, so they are a good place to start if you're not sure. 5 Be confident. Confidence is sexy to everyone! Show her how confident you are by taking initiative, never talking poorly of yourself, and speaking up for yourself (with other people too, not just around her). 6. Be yourself. Remember: you are at your best when you are yourself. If a woman truly loves you, she will love you for who you are. When we act like someone we are not, sooner or later we're not able to keep it up. Even if she would have loved you for who you really are, if she finds out you were faking she will feel lied to and may not love you anymore. Being yourself also helps you maintain your own happiness! 7. Respect her and everyone else. You probably know that you should respect her in order to win her heart (if you didn't, now you know!), but remember that it's also important to respect other people too. She'll always worry, if she sees you treating others poorly, if you'll treat her just as bad if she does something that makes you unhappy or does something else "wrong". Respect her and others by allowing them to speak and be heard, acknowledging their opinions, never belittling them or treating them as anything other than your equal, never lie to them, and never saying cruel things about or to them. Basically, be nice and polite! 8. Be passionate. You should be passionate in your relationship but you should also be passionate in your life. Being around someone passionate helps us to be more passionate and engaged in our own life, so we are naturally drawn to people like this and want them in our life more. Be passionate in your life by exploring and celebrating the things that make you happy and unique, without worrying about what others think. 9. Bring the fun! Similarly to how we look for passionate people in our lives, we also like being with someone who makes our life more fun. If you can bring the fun into her life by finding great things to do and new avenues to explore, then she'll be completely in love. 10. Prioritize like a pro. Women have it a bit harder in life than guys. Most social systems put women at a disadvantage (they make less money than men, for example), and so they need a life partner that can help them in life, not make things even harder. If you want to win her heart, show her you're not going to be a burden. Have a strong work ethic, help her out when you can, and show her that you value her over other women. One good way to show her that she is your number one priority is to not be bashful about letting people know that she's with you and that you love her! Another way to show her that she is your priority is to make sure that you actually spend time with her! Don't make her feel guilty about taking up your time and show her how much fun you're having while you're with her. Be financially stable and maintain a job. It doesn't have to be a good one. Women will overlook a bad paycheck if they know they can rely on you and don't have to worry about what you do with that paycheck. 11. Give unexpected, targeted gifts. Yes, gifts are a good way to win a woman's heart, but not just any gift will do. Gifts should show that you care and that you specifically care for her. You don't want to give a gift that could be just as nice for your ex- girlfriend or your sister. Give a gift that is significant to her. Try giving her something in her favorite color, something she said she wanted or needed, or (best of all) something that reminds you of significant moments that you've had together or inside jokes that you share. 12. Ask her for advice and take it. Women, like anyone, want to feel useful. They want to feel like they serve a purpose, especially to people that they care about. Let her be and feel useful by asking her for advice about problems that you have in your life. Importantly, you should take her advice and let her see that you've taken her advice. 13. Really know her. Know her for who she really is, not just who you want her to be or the face that she puts on for everyday life. Talk to her about things that matter and find ways to show her that you get her. For example, buy tickets to a play that you don't care about but that you know she really wants to see. 1 Like |

We sing about it, write about it and watch movies about it, but when you think about it, falling in love is crazy and maybe even weird. It makes us feel and do things we usually wouldn’t under any other circumstances. First of all, it physically affects our hormones and brain. In fact, scientists have shown that love affects the brain in a way similar to cocaine addiction. Not only that, it also affects us psychologically and behaviorally. Here are 10 crazy, weird symptoms you may experience when falling in love: 1. Your hormones go wild. When you fall in love, your cheeks flush, your heart beats faster, your palms are sweaty and your head starts spinning. This is all thanks to a rush of chemicals and hormones that flood your brain and body when you fall in love. This leaves you with feelings of euphoria similar to an endorphin-induced “runner’s high.” There’s nothing you can do about this; love physically makes you crazy. 2. You wake up and go to sleep thinking of someone other than yourself. From the moment you wake up in the morning to the moment you go to sleep at night, the person you love occupies at least some part of your mind. How does your brain even know to think of that person first thing in the morning? Doesn’t it have other more important things to worry about? The truth is this phenomenon is usually subconscious and automatic, almost like your mind is programmed to do so. Even throughout the day, that person stays staunchly in the back of your mind. As crazy as it may be, it is nice to think of someone beside you every once in a while. 3. You smile when you’re alone. We’ve all seen them: the smile texters. Smile texting is the perfect example of what happens when you’re falling in love. You experience weird, giddy feelings of happiness, even when you’re not physically with that special person. You might smile when he or she texts you, when you hear a certain song, see a picture on Facebook or when you just think of that person. In general, little things like that will make you smile more than usual because you are just so blissfully in love (and because of all those happy hormones flowing through your bloodstream). People may look at you funny and wonder why you’re so happy, but you don’t even mind. 4. You become a little obsessive. I wonder what she’s doing right now. I wonder if she’s watching the game. She loves football, which is cool for a girl. But I forget what her favorite team is … I need to ask again. Or maybe I should ask now. I’ll mention it if she texts me later. Oh look, a bag of chips. She loves chips. But only the BBQ kind. People in love, love to think about each other. They somehow manage to relate even the smallest things to the person they love. If your life is the universe, then chances are, your love is the sun, and everything revolves around that. 5. You do embarrassing things. Ever heard those sappy stories of boys in the olden days throwing rocks at a girl’s window, and playing her songs on their guitar? That was then, but today, there are videos all over YouTube of men proposing to their fiancés with elaborate flash mobs that take place in front of hundreds of people. Love will make you do embarrassing things because when you’re falling in love with someone, you will do almost anything to make him or her happy, no matter what other people may think. 6. You do things outside of your comfort zone. Along the same lines, falling in love will make you do things you never even considered doing before. Boys, that may mean taking a yoga class or going to get a pedicure with your girlfriend (they feel really good, it’s okay to admit it). Girls, that may mean watching “SportsCenter” for two hours or playing a couple games of FIFA. Of course, doing these things can open your mind to new activities you might enjoy. Doing them with the one you love is a great bonding experience, too. 7. You suddenly care more about your appearance. Before, you may have rolled out of bed and thrown on some athletic shorts and a t-shirt, but you now have a reason to try to look good. You might comb your hair more often, double check to make sure you didn’t forget deodorant, shave more meticulously and go to the gym, instead of falling asleep on your couch after work. 8. You sing. When you’re falling in love, you feel so happy and carefree, you can’t always keep it inside. Whether you sound like William Hung or Ariana Grande, sometimes, you just have to sing at the top of your lungs to let it all out. 9. You go out of your way. You may find yourself driving out of the way to pick up your love’s favorite dinner, or calling in sick to work just to hang out with him or her. The crazy part is that even though these things may inconvenience you, you’re happy and excited to do them. You actually take joy in making that extra effort to please your SO and show him or her how much you care. 10. You go blind. As the old adage goes, love is blind. When you’re falling in love, everything your love does and says is interesting and amazing. Every word uttered from his or her mouth, and every move he or she makes, is magical. Love blinds you to faults and screwups, and even when you do notice them, you’re quick to forgive because your love can do no wrong. As it turns out, Ke$ha might be right about this one: Love is a drug. It makes us crazy, but it also makes us happy. Love is exciting; it’s addicting, it’s confusing and it’s weird. So, cheers to love: both our worst nightmare and our best friend. 1 Like 1 Share |
