Culture / 5 Types Of Girls You’ll Meet In Nigeria by Yungkida(m): 11:46pm On Jul 22, 2016
There are different kinds of girls in Nigeria and you just have to be careful not to fall a victim. Most especially Lagos girls. You can read our last post on the UNILAG thief.

Below are 5 types of girls you’ll meet in Nigeria:

1. The Friendly Predator

These set of girls put up the not too money conscious type of behavior, they may not initiate a bargain during meeting arrangements and if you attempt to do that they will discourage you and emphasize that you are an adult and you know what is good for a girl.

They may just say ‘leave that till I come’ or better still they do not like discussing money before meeting as it’s not all about money. They put you at ease and make you feel like they do not really care about the money aspect of the meeting.

On arrival at the meeting place, they go straight to business without much hesitation while ensuring you do not even start any discussion with regard to the cost of their services. Fast forward to after all have been done you may then want to ask again how much she may want you to give to her and she will indicate you should what is good for a girl of her type.

Whatever amount you offer her at this point, so long as it’s not on the exorbitant side will be rebuffed by her; she may start with ‘this is too poor, you do not expect me to accept this peanut from you’. ‘I thought you were an adult but never knew you could be so inconsiderate’. The attempt here is to break you down emotionally and make you feel so guilty about yourself; you may catch the foolishness syndrome and want to please her because you are caught off guard.

All pleas at this point will be met with more abusive utterances and possibly threat of drawing attention by raising her voice, she will deliberately batter you psychologically till you part with a good chunk of cash and off she goes with smiles.

To be safe in this case, ensure you do not play the good man with call girls, they are all in for the money and you should not expect anything more than that. Be strictly business like and maintain that you need the pricing sorted out before she even leave her location to come and meet you or vice versa; essentially ensure this is documented through messaging.

If she attempt to breach this agreement be prepared to match her word for word and action for action and do not back down at whatever point so long as you know you have not gone against any of the agreements.

Do not be scared of drawing others in if worst come to worst, you may even be leading the way for others to follow who have also become victims of such manipulative acts. Be rest assured that such girls will back out when they discover you are ready to go it dirty with them.

2. The Ratio 1 to 2

These types of call girls will engage you on the pricing if you so desire but insist on a higher amount for as long as they can and may eventually give in to your own demands with regards to the amount to give to them. They will come, get to business and stop half way without rendering the full services required of them.

They will lock up and be poised for a showdown if you want to talk them into giving full services as is required and agreed, these types are usually the greedy type of girls and as well dubious in nature.
You need to stand your ground here and tell her you cannot go with the partial services she has offered, let her know you will as well slash the amount you intend giving to match the offered services. If she did collect the money before she rendered the services, then you have lost out, you have to let her go as she will make sure you do not get that money at all cost.

To prevent this always ensure you conclude to do it once, twice or thrice alongside that amount to paid for the services and until this is done do not get into the act.

3. The Time Killer

These types of girls are the friendliest and usually use this tactics when they do not really like the guy they have to go down with. They get involved in all kinds of gist ranging from fake lies, fallacies, black lies, lies and possibly some truth to complete the circle, they talk you into the entire time you were suppose be useful and demand to go to the bathroom when they discover you are bent on going down.

They probably will spend quite a lot of time the bathroom to further deplete your time and could also order you or reorder you to take your bath as well to waste more time. At the end you become exhausted and may have no much strength to get down in a good form, eventually sleeping off.

They will wake up early and watch you sleep to wake up so late that they will be in a hurry to leave complaining they would want to leave in broad daylight.
This tactics usually work well for such girls and there is nothing you can do about it if does work well, you are a loser here for sure.

4. The Sniff the Cash

These girls are wolves in sheep clothing; they have one and an only intention which is to get at your cash. They will take any amount of money you offer them so long as it is averagely okay after sniffing that there are some extra cash in your custody.

They are very friendly, outspoken and will tell you stories you will definitely be able to discern as lies; their eyes are always scanning the room to see where you possibly could keep cash. These girls can correctly estimate how much there is in a bundle of cash once they sight one.

They may or may not spike your drink, wait for you to fall asleep and go straight to where your cash is collect a sizeable amount depending on where you kept the money; if it is kept in an expected place, they may take an amount you may not notice but if you hide the money in a place that is too secretive, they may take all of it knowing full well that you cannot check to see if they money is there why they around as you may not want them to know you hide your money.

The best way to handle these sorts of girls when you notice their intentions is to avoid spending the night with them. A girl has once stolen a guy’s cash, rolled it and slips it into her front hole but she was unlucky that the guy noticed and asked her to strip which she did but with her laps tightly together. The guy eventually parted her laps and saw the cash in her hole. She let her off with the cash though.

5. The Win-Win

These are normal girls, good girls so to speak who are straight forward in going down with you. They tell you what they want and they give you what you want. They take it upon themselves to ensure you enjoyed their company and the right value for your money.

The bad aspect is that some guys take advantage of these girls and exploit them though in most cases they make so many good friends who are always there to help them in many small ways because of their positive attitude.

Most of these types of girls are doing this to make ends meet and are willing to stop being call girls once they meet a guy who decides to take them in as a girlfriend. Most of these types of girls have end up getting married to their clients and eventually becoming good house wives.

Foreign Affairs / Does Trump’s Speech Earn Him A Seat At The White House by Yungkida(m): 10:47pm On Jul 22, 2016
esterday was day four of the Republican National Convention in which Donald Trump gave one of the longest acceptance speech in at least forty-four years, lasting an hour and sixteen minutes.

One in which he made a reference to the immigrants who has crossed the United states borders like they were some sort of wild animals unleashed on the US citizens.

In his own words “they are being released by the tens of thousands into our communities with no regard for the impact on public safety or resources”, he seemed to forget that among these immigrants in the history of the United states, one made an impact by co-founding PayPal, Spacex, Tesla motors, attributed to the success of Solar city and OpenAl (Elon Musk).
Then there’s Joseph pulitzer, founder of the Pulitzer prize. Mr Sergey Brin co-founder of google,Inc, Andy Grove founder of Intel, Jerry Yang co-founder of Yahoo!, and a whole lot of others. These are people who helped give the United States the popularity Donald Trump is intent on treading, and if immigration is curtailed how many more of these great people yet unknown with ideas to turn the US into one of the world’s greatest countries on earth will be missed?…

As for his reference to President Obama, no president can fully attend to every whim of his country. A fact he’ll soon realize if he sits on that presidential seat. Sworn oath or not. He promises never to sign bad trade deals like the deals have got “bad trade” etched on them in black and white.

The man had a bad word for every one. From Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and China to President Obama ( if the US President is so bad, why then is his wife trying so hard to be like Michelle Obama?). Donald Trump went on to claim Bernice sanders supporters will join his movement because he will fix his biggest issue, trade deals, and that millions of Democrats will become Trump’s supporters. In Bernie’s own words of reply to that: “those who voted for me will not support Trump who has made bigotry and divisiveness the cornerstone of his campaign”.

Describing himself as the “American voice”, Donald Trump. Said: “I’m with you, the American people”. Does that mean he doesn’t even know he’s against them?… because amongst these immigrants are people’s family, lovers, friends, but most importantly, America’s dream.

Culture / What If It Works? by Yungkida(m): 9:24am On Jul 21, 2016
The queue to the Automatic Teller Machine – ATM was something else because we all wanted to withdraw money. Although there was another machine beside it, nobody moved towards the second machine. We had about 25 people on one single queue.

When my sister and i got there, I also went to queue but she asked one of the customers what was wrong with the other machine. ‘I don’t know’, he said, ‘… but somebody said there is no money in it’.

After listening to that ‘somebody’ tale, my sis told me to move straight to the machine everyone neglected and inserted my card. Lo and behold, the same machine ‘somebody’ said would not work, dispensed the sum of N25,000.

As we were walking away like a magician, others who saw some cash I had withdrawn broke away from the initial queue and rushed to that machine.

Why did I tell you this experience?

1. People don’t get something they need from somewhere because they refused to try.

2. People refused to try because ‘somebody’ somewhere said it won’t work.

3 The somebody somewhere may be an old authority who doesn’t believe in evolution.

4. People won’t take steps to do what others don’t do because of the ‘what if it doesn’t work?’ question.

5. People ask this question because they don’t want to take risks.

6. Those who don’t take the risk of checking if the other machine is working will remain on the long queue and may not even get what they need eventually. Meaning achieving in 2hrs what they could have achieved in 2min.

7. When a pacesetter comes and succeeds after ‘chesting’ the criticisms, others break ranks and follow him.

Therefore, stop believing ‘the somebody’ that asks ‘what if it doesn’t work?’

Ask another question: ‘What if it work?’

Never allow anybody to discourage you!

Celebrities / 7 Ways To Stay Happy If You’re Having A Really Bad Day Like Taylor Swift by Yungkida(m): 5:55pm On Jul 18, 2016
It seems like Taylor Swift is having a string of bad days. In the last week alone, she’s been outed by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, she’s been feuding over song credits with Calvin Harris and she’s still in the beginning of her new relationship with Tom Hiddleston.

All this drama is just turning into a big, sloppy, star-studded mess. And this pop star just can’t catch a break.

We’ve all had bad days like T-Swift. They suck. So, as a loyal Taylor Swift fan, I’m going to offer some of the best advice on how to turn a bad day around.

1. Eat some dark chocolate and drink red wine.

Dark chocolate and red wine happen to be a cure for the blues. Plus, they’re both delicious. But there’s a science-backed reason they work. Red wine and dark chocolate contain resveratrol, which produces serotonin and endorphins.

This pick-me-up will not only bring you comfort during a bad day, but it will also literally put you in a better mood. Just don’t overdo the chocolate and wine, or else you’ll have another problem on your hands.

2. Lean on your friends for support.

Maybe you have some bad blood with people, but when you have a bad day, you know who your real friends are. They’re the ones who will come to you in the middle of the night if they have to.

Selena Gomez actually did just that for Taylor late Sunday night on Twitter, when all this Kimye drama was going down. Knowing you have solid friends who are there for you will instantly make you feel better.

3. Distract yourself with the stuff you love doing.

When all else fails, do the stuff you love during a bad day. Take a break from work, and get off social media so you don’t have to engage with the haters.

Give yourself the gift of time for doing what you love, which for Taylor, I assume, means playing with her cats and baking cookies with her celeb BFFs.

4. Meditate, or just find a quiet space to chill.

Meditation might be too “woo-woo” for you, but chilling out in a quiet space can also bring you the peace you need. I know it might be hard for Taylor to find the time and space between crushing it as a musician and dealing with annoying celebrity feuds, but apparently, just two minutes can do the trick.

Why will this help? Well, meditation is proven to beat a bad day. It helps you think more rationally, be calmer and communicate better. So, the more time you take to chill out, the better you’ll be able to handle any stress that comes your way, even if it isn’t Kimye-related.

5. Sweat the bad vibes out.

Exercise is the best way to get some happy hormones pumping in your blood. You don’t have to go HAM at the gym to get your endorphin fix, either. You can just take a quick walk, swim, jog, dance session, whatever you want.

Or you can just throw on some boxing gloves, tape a picture of Kanye‘s face to a punching bag and give it hell. Just get sweating and we promise, it will help.

6. Think about the big picture.

This probably sounds weird, but bad days are all in our heads. You have to put your bad day in perspective. When you’re feeling down, just remember everything you’ve accomplished. Like for Taylor, she can take comfort in the fact that she made the most amount of money out of any celebrity in 2016. Yeah.

Ask yourself, will this matter in a month? During bad days, it’s important to be grateful for what we do have instead of harping on what’s wrong. Taylor can focus on her health, family and adorable cats.

Also, let’s be real, all of this is going to blow over in a week or two and then we’ll all be talking about someone else.

7. Shake it off.

Lastly, take advice from T-Swift herself. Like she said, “The haters gonna hate. The players gonna play. The fakers gonna fake.”

You’ve just got to shake it off and move on.

And Taylor, keep dominating the music industry with your addicting albums.

Culture / Do You Know What Depression Looks Like | Milez by Yungkida(m): 1:47pm On Jul 04, 2016
Do you want to know what depression looks like?

Let me tell you.

It is not the story of the skinny girl who will not consume calories and then the prince charming comes into the picture and sleeps with her in the most innocent sense to protect her.

It does not involve him kissing her scars and saying they are beautiful.

No, in reality it is you by yourself, Alone, Sad, Scared.

Your body is painted in blood and you are crying so hard you practically throw up.

It is demons and blackness and fear. It is the lonely nights that consume you. It is you!!!

Culture / The Pain And Gain Of A Real Hustler | Milez by Yungkida(m): 6:49pm On Jun 30, 2016
I was talking with my mom one evening about the inhabitants of Ogobiri, a rural village in Bayelsa state, Nigeria; when she told me the story of a young man they call lecturer since no one knew his name.

It was rather interesting and as a mass communicator I no plan on carrying last so I practically hunted the young man down with my props.

He at first was suspicious of my intentions but loosened up a bit after I told him my reason for going to see him.

This story is not just a “kiss and tell”, it’s for those of you out there socialspy both know and don’t. Regardless the income you earn, strive to continue your education and remember… No matter who and where you are, socialspy will reach, tell you the truth, entertain, as well as work with you.

Kabiru Yau Maiyaki aged 29, a Muslim and well known as lecturer hails from Zaria in Kaduna state, Nigeria. His only trade is the sales of suya which he started up when he was in the secondary school.

He left Zaria and moved to Bayelsa state in the year 2006. From a middle class family who lost all they had in a fire outbreak which affected the family’s finance. He came to Bayelsa through a friend of his father well known as Mallam Magaji and with his income from the Suya sales he sponsored his secondary education at Amassoma, Bayelsa state and came out with good grades.

Everyone expected him to be satisfied with that but he continued and after his impressive result in both his JAMB and PUTME exams he gained admission into the Niger Delta University in Bayelsa state where he studied political science and is now a graduate.

He describes his feeling at the convocation ceremony as overwhelming. He SOCIAL SPY NG that education to him has always been a dream and he didn’t think he’d come through.

He said, ” I didn’t think myself good enough or deserving of this great thing because i was always seen as a street urchin and was judged even at my neighbourhood by the current social status of my family”.
His motto according to him was and still is ” only those who endure to the end shall succeed “. He believes the dignity of a man cannot be defended by him if he’s financially incapacitated.

With these in mind, he said:

” I’ve chosen not to be contented with my degree although it has placed me in high esteem among my people in Bayelsa state as I’m the first graduate amongst the suya sellers here. I want to go further in life by earning money and I know Allah will see me through”.

Romance / 5 Reasons That Will Force Him To Pull Away From Your ‘almost Perfect’ Relationsh by Yungkida(m): 5:01pm On Jun 30, 2016
At some point, most women have dated a man who runs hot and cold. One minute, everything is going perfectly. He’s messaging every day, he wants to see you all the time and he wants to take you out to places you’ve never been before. Then, without any warning, there is a “shift,” and he pulls back.

It’s a shift so small that it would be unrecognizable to anyone else. It starts one morning when he doesn’t message. You tell yourself you’ll hear from him later. Later comes, and there’s still not a peep. But, you don’t want to overreact.

He doesn’t need to check in with you every moment of the day. More time passes, and the silence makes you paranoid. So, you send him a message instead. It is the 21st century, after all, and we are modern, self-sufficient women who can message first.

Peter Bernik

He replies, but in a manner that isn’t conversational or playful. You assume he’s busy and try not to let paranoia take hold. But truth be told, this is only the beginning.

I don’t want to say it “never ends well,” but the odds are rarely in our favor. The main issue with dating a man like this isn’t so much the man himself, but how poorly we handle the shift (understandably so, I might add).

The problem with not being exclusive is that when a man does go cold, there is always the crippling fear this will be the end. More often than not, the pressure becomes too much, and most women tend to crumble.

The two classic reactions women have are either messaging too much to try to close the distance, or getting angry at the guy, which just ends up pushing him further away.

In fact, before trying to figure out how to handle the situation, you should try to understand the reason for the shift.

For the record, it’s one of these five:

1. You’re just an option.

In a relationship, you are either an option or a priority. If you are an option, it usually means there are other options, too. I once asked another guy for advice on how to handle such a situation, and his response was, “Cut him loose.” Easier said than done, I’m sure.

2. He’s had a change of heart.

I know what you’re thinking. Perhaps there’s something I can do to “change it.” Though if we’re being honest, trying to convince a man to like you rarely ends well.

Quite frankly, if you have to ask yourself, “Does he like me?” then you should probably let him go. Men make their intentions clear one way or the other. We just choose to ignore the signs some of the time.

3. He hasn’t decided if you’re “the one.”

Instead of committing himself, he continues seeing you without making things exclusive and without getting too close. He’ll continue stringing you along until he’s certain, or until someone better comes along.

4. You’ve made it too easy.

The problem with making yourself too “available” when he’s playing hot and pretending not to notice when he’s playing cold is, you’ve made it clear you’re going to be sticking around no matter what. Unfortunately, this means he feels confident continuing this behavior because he knows there won’t be any consequences. You will be there when he wants, and he can ignore you when he doesn’t.

5. He isn’t where he wants to be.

You don’t fit into his current life plan. He has ambitions and things to check off his to-do list, and so for now, you are another perfect girl who came along at an imperfect time.

So now that we know what the reasons might be, it’s easier to understand how to react or, more importantly, how not to react. After careful observation of love and dating, this is what I know to be true: Convincing a man to love you will never work. Trying to persuade him to see how great you are together is pointless. Sharing your feelings with the hopes he will realize how much he means to you will also get you nowhere.

If a man is uncertain about your relationship (whatever the reason might be), there is only one thing you can do: Take a step back and create some space. I don’t mean ignore him or delete his number or anything so drastic. Just stop trying so hard to fix everything.

Women are known to react when a man goes from hot to cold, which is understandable. It’s hard going from having an almost-boyfriend to being almost nothing. However, you need to accept you can’t control how another person acts or feels.

So, instead, you should allow him the space to make up his own mind. Pressuring him (as subtle as you think you might be) usually just ends up suffocating him, and men who feel trapped are known to run.

If you want a man to step up to the plate, you have to give him the room to do so. If you give him the space, and he still doesn’t step forward? Then that is an answer in itself.

Crime / "They Tried To Put Pepper In My Virgina" | Yaba Tech Student Recount Her Ordeal by Yungkida(m): 6:42pm On Jun 15, 2016
This is the story of Adegun Busayomi, an undergraduate of Yaba College of Technology in the hands of kidnappers.

Read her statement below...

I woke up today with a smile on my face with full strength & a vision to start a beautiful day...but it all turns out to be a bad crying day, dat I can never forget in my life.

On my way to work dis morning I entered Oshodi bus from Fadeyi, immediately I entered the guy on my left side started complaining that the one at the back was trying to pick his pocket, next thing he changed position to my right side & said Onipan wa oooo (That is Onipanu is the next bus stop); next thing Immediately the one at the back hooked my neck and said "don't shout". The one beside the driver said "allow her to lay down on d floor".

They drag me flat on d floor... He collected my bag Started asking question where do u work? said I am student which school, what course? what level? my name my state. I kept answering their questions.

He picked my ATM card, he asked for my pin I told him he gave it to one of them and they dropped him. I started crying if this is actually my end, are they going to use me, are they going going to kill me so many things started coming in to my mind.

I remembered my mum & my siblings; the 27years ago story that can't be forgotten in my family.

I kept begging them not to hurt me, the man in front said "if they found a certain amount in my account they won't hurt me" but if I give them a wrong pin or no money in my account they will call my family or they will rape me till I lose my last breathe, I started praying silently calling for mercy; there were eight 8 guys......one was busy touching my breast one hooked my neck down one used his legs to pin my legs together; I keep crying calling God to save me.

Next thing the guy that dropped called them and the one in front pass something to the one at d back they told me to close my eyes but I didn't said to my self if am going to die am going to open my eyes and see everything.

The next thing it was pepper; he put pepper in my two eyes my breast and he was trying to open my trouser zip but he couldn't I was screaming "I can't see", was trying guiding my eyes not to put more pepper trying holding my jeans not to put pepper in my Virgina.

Thinking if they still want to rape me after all they collected from me my phones, power bank, my sister's money in my bag and the change i have there too; they packed everything and dropped me on d floor at cooker going to Oshodi and left.

Till now am still not my self, i have never been handled like that in my life. (June14) - my terrible day; I just want to close my eyes and forget everything but I can't, it keeps playing on my head and is hurting me more.

Romance / 6 Reasons Why Heartbreak Is Actually Good For You by Yungkida(m): 12:56am On Jun 09, 2016
Heartbreak blows. Sure, that’s not the most magical opening sentence, but tell me that’s not a great way of describing it.

Or maybe I just feel that way because I’ve dealt with it for so long, and I’ve exhausted all those emotions that used to drive what can only be described as lukewarm madness.

Getting your heart broken isn’t something you should be looking forward to, but it is a necessity. Or at least, I believe it to be. I’m not sure that a person can truly love correctly if they’ve never lost love. It’s too easy to brush off heartbreak as commonplace, only to inevitably find yourself deeply wounded and scarred.

But all the bad that is heartbreak isn’t pointless. There’s a reason you’re feeling so horrible. It’s not easy to see it looking from the inside out, but take it from someone who’s been there: It does get better, and it can get better. But only if you choose to make it better.

I know you can’t see the benefits of heartbreak, but if you are heartbroken, then you need to become aware of them as soon as possible. I wish I had someone explain to me what I’m about to explain to you. There are benefits of having your heart ripped out of your chest cavity. Here are six of them:

1. It rids you of that perfect fairytale notion.

Growing up, I had a very unrealistic view of love. Or rather, I had a view on love that only accounted for the good, the great and the fantastic, but never the less-than-fun, the difficult and the uncertain. I saw love as this magical goal that, if attained, would make me eternally happy. As adults, that’s how some of us still imagine love.

We see it the way it was depicted in all the stories we heard, read and watched growing up. We fail to see the darker side of love — a side which does exist — regardless of whether or not we wish to accept it as part of the deal. Heartbreak introduces you to the pain and sadness that defines love. It isn’t pleasant, but it is necessary.

2. It shows you some of the lowest lows in life.

Heartache is the feeling that fills the void formerly known as love. The deeper the love, the deeper the hole and the more heartache needed to fill it. What I didn’t realize at first (and I know most people have the very same issue) is the longer you feel this way, the more negative you become. Your thoughts drift further and further away from positivity, and eventually you can’t even imagine yourself feeling truly happy, excited or whole again.

The longer you sulk, the deeper you dig that hole until you eventually hit rock bottom. Having your heart broken isn’t something you can just shake off — not if the love was real. That’s why so many people’s lives seem to fall apart after they lose the one they loved.

The good news is, once you hit rock bottom, that’s when you really get to see what you’re made of. Are you a fighter? Or are you a coward?

3. It makes you question whether there’s a purpose to this experience we call life.

Finding the love of your life makes everything feel right. It makes you feel as if the universe was somehow corroborating in your favor. When things are going right in our life, when our wants and needs are met without direct intervention, we feel like the world is the way it should be.

But when our relationship begins to fall apart, we not only question our love, but we also question the concept of love. You were so certain you found the one. Maybe there’s no such thing as true love?

Maybe there is no purpose to anything. Maybe we’re just all accidents who believe they’re doing meaningful work, when in reality life is nothing but one big triviality. Maybe, maybe not.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter what conclusion you come to (well, it does and it doesn’t). What matters is that you’re finally asking the right questions. Your concept of life has proven to be false, so you have no choice but to reassess and redefine. In other words, you come one step closer to the truth.

4. It challenges you.

I could use multiple synonyms, but the truth is that words fail to fully express what it means to have your heart broken. Let me put it this way, you’ll know it when it happens to you. And not just because of the way that it makes you feel, but by the challenges it puts in front of you.

You feel lost and confused, barely knowing which way is up and which is down. The way you think the world worked has proven to be wrong. You’re feeling sluggish and depressed. You stop enjoying the things you used to enjoy, and you’ve stopped wanting the things you used to want. Then you either lose control of your life, or simply let go of it. It’s often difficult to tell which is which, but one day you realize you’re going 100 mph and no one is steering the ship.

All of these things make living your life difficult. They’re challenges you will need to overcome, and once you do overcome them, you’ll be stronger than ever.

5. It makes you self-reliant.

The biggest mistake people make in a relationship is based on the biggest misconception we have on love. Love is a joining of two people, two lives, two souls. However, it’s more like the holding of hands than it is a full fusion. Sure, your lives will mesh together on many levels, but when we get down to it, you’re both still independent individuals. You are (and always will be) your own person.

People run into relationships in order to run away from themselves. They aren’t happy with the people they are or with the way their lives are playing out. This is often because we listen to the opinions of others more than we ought to. In response to this, they go out and find love in order to stop being the people they are, and instead become this joint partnership.

The problem is you never stop being you, just as he or she never stops being him or herself. Having your heart broken reminds you that nothing is forever, and that in the end, you can only fully rely on yourself.

6. It gives space for new love in your life.

You know that hole you’re feeling? The hole the person you love used to fill? Well, that hole was always there. You just weren’t conscious of it.

You didn’t know what you were missing, so you didn’t miss it. You couldn’t miss it. But now that you know the possibilities — now that you know how powerful love is — you feel deprived.

The good news is the hole can be filled again. You will fall in love again. You will get another chance at creating the life you want for yourself. You will be given all the opportunities you need to be the person you need to be. If you think about it, the only thing stopping you from accomplishing all of that was, in fact, the person who just walked out of your life.

Now that they’ve left, you have room for something better in your life — someone better. But only if you allow yourself to completely let go. So, what are you waiting for?

Culture / My Mirror By Timi Adekola by Yungkida(m): 7:04pm On Jun 08, 2016
It was a dainty looking thing with a gold plated rim. The rim fanned out in uneven strokes which looked like a peacock with it wings spread out; this spread-out wings just looked more like the edges of the Iron-throne
It was a rare piece from a rare soul. The soul who had gifted this gift was encased in the body of a god – the god of beauty.

You might find it weird for me to describe a man as beautiful but he was. His skin was as dark and shiny as a well polished shoe.

His smile brightened up every room he entered. I always told him his smile was what differentiated him from Roman soldiers; he was self-aware, beautiful to behold, sculptured, a diplomat with a steady head.

Someone I wanted and knew could lead my army any day, any time.

He was also well travelled. He had sailed the Caribbean sea, skied in the Alps, horse-ridden through the deserts of Africa and gone to a lot of places i had trouble finding on a map.

It was on one of his many trips to Europe that he acquired this reflective piece for me.

He said it spoke my name the first time he saw it.

“What silliness and blasphemy” were the first words out of my mouth as my hands swatted his biceps.

The irony of my dainty hands swatting at his well toned biceps wasn’t lost on me.

“No sweet; it did. The mirror is you and you are the mirror.”

“How my love? How is this possible?” I asked?

“The mirror shows your class, it shows your strength, it shows how sharp your brain and tongue are” he replied.

“I look at it and I see how wise I was to have sought after your heart.”

At this point I lightly touch him and laugh. “You give me so much joy my lord.”

“The gold plated rim which encases it reminds me of how much you envelope me with your love.”

“You see why I said it spoke your name to me?”

With joy, gladness and love, I gladly collected my gift from my lord, immediately commissioned for a mantle to be made and placed on the wall opposite our bed with my mirror placed on it.

Every time I wake up when my lord isn’t around, the first thing I see is my mirror.

It shows me what he sees when he looks at me and it motivates me to be better for us.

It tells me to wake up with a smile on my face, it tells me to scrutinize myself and readjust myself as I get off our bed and place my feet on the Arabian carpet.

It cements and renews our love and vows to each other.

It assures me and gives me peace.

Celebrities / Rihanna To Be Sued Over Cancelled Nigerian Show After Client Payed $160,000 by Yungkida(m): 9:04am On Jun 08, 2016
Nigerians got no chill for Riri!! You had better pay back our money.

Rihanna may have belted ‘Bitch Better Have My Money,’ but a Nigerian promoter is chanting the same back at her.

TMZ reports that Chris Ubosi and his company Megalectrics are suing the questionable talent over a 2013 concert — that never happened.

He alleges that he struck a deal with two people who claimed to rep Rihanna, as well as her label Roc Nation and its founder Jay Z. For the proposed show, which would have lasted 65 minutes, RiRi would receive $425,000 woah!!!

Per the suit, Ubosi asserts that he made three payments totalling $160,000 only for Team Riri to request a postponement. He agreed — on the condition that the 28-year-old posted the revised date on social media. It never happened and Ubosi subsequently axed the show, demanding the money back. When it wasn’t received, he sued.

To complicate the matter more, sources close to Rih tell TMZ that her management actually knew nothing about the show and she never collected a cent. Should that be the case, it would suggest Ubosi was a victim of a scam.

Religion / Ramadan Wishes | Everything You Need To Know About Ramadan Mubarak by Yungkida(m): 2:40pm On Jun 07, 2016
According to Islamic tradition, Ramzan is the holiest month of the entire year, “a month of blessing” and brings with it a fresh wave of festive cheer.

It lasts for 28 to 30 days depending on the sighting of the moon. The day starts at the crack of dawn by eating a meal referred to as ‘Suhoor’ or ‘Sehri’ before the Fajr prayer, and rounds off by breaking the fast after sunset, followed by an elaborate ‘Iftar’ meal eaten right before the Magrib prayer.

During the month of Ramzan, Muslims all over the world abstain from consuming food or water during the day. This year, Ramadan begins on 6th June 2016.

Suhoor

The Suhoor meal, or the pre-dawn meal, is wholesome and packed with energy-rich foods in order to fuel one through the day. Fruits and vegetables are eaten as they are loaded with fiber, which keeps one full for a longer time. The meal also includes bread and rice that are rich in carbohydrates to keep energy levels up, and protein such as egg, meat or dairy to boost immunity. Nuts are a popular choice too, as they release energy over a period of time and help prevent fatigue and lethargy.

Tip: Avoid consuming tea or coffee as the caffeine content leads to loss of water, thereby increasing one’s thirst.


Iftar Meals Across the World

As legend has it, Prophet Muhammad had broken his roza by eating three dates. So traditionally, Muslims eat dates along with milk, juice or water. The meal is followed by the fourth prayer of the day called Maghrib prayer.

It is interesting to note that countries all over the world cook up the Iftar meal differently. Muslims in Afghanistan indulge in traditional soups and onion-based meat curries, kebabs and pulao while Pakistan and Bangladesh relish jalebis, haleem, sweetened drinks, parathas, rice preparations, meat curries, fruit salads, shami kebabs and more.

In India, Muslims enjoy nihari and haleem, and the Hyderabadi haleem tops the charts, being very popular across the globe as well. Muslims in Kerala and Tamil Nadu break their roza with nombu kanji, a dish prepared with meat, greens and porridge.


Significance of Ramadan

Muslims practice sawm, or fasting, for the entire month of Ramadan while the sun shines. Fasting is obligatory for all adult Muslims except those who are ill, travelling, elderly or women who are pregnant. But contrary to popular belief, Ramzan (or Ramadan) isn’t just about fasting.

It is also a month of devotion, compassion, generosity, forgiveness and repentance. One of the most basic ideas behind keeping a roza is to inculcate patience and a sense of self restraint, to cleanse the body and mind. It is a period of self-reflection and appreciation for what we have.

By fasting, Muslims express their gratitude to Allah for revealing the Quran to Prophet Muhammad during this holy month, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The month of Ramzan also encourages one to be charitable. The Quran says the poor, the handicapped and those who are deprived also have their share in your money.


With Ramzan starting off, it is a special time of the year, when you will find certain localities in cities like Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata coming alive with festive fervour, especially in the evenings.

The markets will be brimming with people buying fruits, dates, refreshing sherbets, meethi sewai, and exotic dishes for the Iftar meal. A stroll down the popular food streets is an absolute must around this time of the year to indulge in a range of authentic delicacies.

Culture / 6 Places To Make Friends If You’re New To Lagos by Yungkida(m): 12:56pm On Jun 07, 2016
Moving into a Lagos or a new city can be a little bit difficult and stressful especially if you don’t know anyone.

As easy as it can be for Iroko TV to become your new best friend or even Netflix, am pretty sure you don’t want to hit Club 57, Quilox or Shawns bar on your own. So babe/guy, you have to make friends. But how do you make friends, you don’y just go running into someone and say “be my friends” or use that pretty voodoo of yours on them.

Making new friends or meeting with new people can be a little bit hard. I know it’s a little bit difficult, you may not find that close friend immediately, but it’s not that difficult to get someone to grab a drink with you.

However friendship starts in small ways, so if you’re looking for a friend in Lagos, try these following methods….

1. Work:

The “sure bet” – Not the betting brand; at making friends is definitely going to be through work. You’re going to spend 40+ hours a week at work with new people. So the sure bet is that someone in your office will have the same interests. Don’t shut off your older colleagues as they may have other cute or beautiful friends and might probably provide you with networking opportunities.

Take every possibilities to go out for Lunch with them, watch a movie or grab a bite from Dominos and Coldstone. Besides, work friends is better than no friend.

2. Neighbours:

Your neighbours are also the perfect set of of persons to make friends with, be nice to them not caring whether they are older than you or not. You might be lucky to be invited over for dinner or even Netflix and Chill (Children as the case may be)

3. Gym:

Yesss!! Gym baby… You will absolutely make friends at the gym. It practically easy just like ABC… Just join a gym class, and you will see the same people every day.
Pretty sure 7/10 of persons in the gym will talk to you. You can even stand or set up to that person you find pretty different in the next gym class.

4. Volunteer:

Volunteering is of the easiest way to meet people. I believe volunteering will provide you with a chance to meet people of the same interest.

5. Network:

Networking is another cool way of making friends, you can run into an alumni from your school if you are a recent graduate.

6. Online

This is one of the easiest platform for you to make friends, you have a whole lot of social media platform that you can utilise ranging from whatsapp, BBM, Tinder, and snapchat.

Family / 10 Do’s And Don’t When You Realise Your Girl Child Is Being Sexually Abused by Yungkida(m): 10:14am On Jun 04, 2016
No one says being a parent is a bed of roses, ignore the cliche. However, simply make the best of it to your ability, spontaneity is the mark of a mother. And so it is not easy when you realise your child is being sexually abused or raped.

Below are a few pointers on what to do or not to do when such happens.

1. Never do or say anything to make her feel it’s her fault. There is nothing like guilt to make one’s life a living hell. She’ll never forgive herself as long as she believes that.

2. Show you care; don’t just say it. DO IT as well. It’s worse when she gets older, even more as she grows.

3. Never subject her to scrutiny. It’s like saying you don’t trust her and she intentionally place herself there.

4. Never make the mistake of asking the “ARE YOU SURE?” question. An emotional girl child would blow are thought over that.

5. Don’t push in trying to get answers. Let her talk at her own time and pace.

6. This is difficult, but parents are rather receptive to their children’s emotion. So if you see or feels she needs are privacy, give it till she’s ready to open up. Desperately encroaching on that despite your good intentions is like sowing an old patch over and over again.

7. Don’t go broadcast. Sympmathizing neighbor would come wanting to know what happened. Try being blasé about it if she’s within hear-shot.

8. Narrating the experience over and over is like reopening old wounds for her.

9. Report to appropriate authorities.

10. Take her for counselling.

Family / 4 Signs Your Girl Child Is Being Sexually Abused by Yungkida(m): 6:57pm On Jun 03, 2016
You can relate to this only if you’re a parent. The girl child is the most sexually abused due to her sexuality. The bold (which are rare) could approach and talk to a parent about it, but the rest; probably out of fear of the hard nature of her parents or threats from the perpetrator keeps mum off it.

Here however, below are 4 signs your child is being sexually abused.

1. Complains about vaginal pains while bathing her (she’d sometimes try stopping you from cleaning her there)

2. Constant tummy aches (ain’t the tummy really, but the waist. They’ll all say it’s the tummy, it’s same to them)

3. Slight spotting on their panties (droplets or smudge of blood)

4. Being excessively familiar with or suddenly withdrawn from a favourite person – Knowing these, its obviously important to pay attention to you

P.S @Moderator: we would love you to help push this to the General page.. Thank you in advance....

Crime / 18 Year Old Boy Just Hacked North Korea Using The Most Hilarious Password Ever by Yungkida(m): 4:49pm On Jun 02, 2016
I just still can't hack anything in this life, and i call myself a social media/tech savvy... *Sobs*

According to Fox News, an 18-year-old British teen named Andrew McKean just admitted to hacking a North Korean social network that looks identical to Facebook. You'll actually mistake it for Facebook.

Motherboard first reported on the Facebook clone launching in North Korea on May 27.

Just a few days later, McKean was able to access the platform by visiting the site, simply clicking the admin link at the bottom of the page, then entering the word “password” within the password field and “admin” within the username field.

Boom. Just like that, he was in!

McKean then proceeded to update the site’s sponsored post field with a message that read,

Uh, I didn’t create this site, just found the login…

As of Wednesday, the site has been taken offline.

This is a warning to everyone (Social media savvy, Tech Gurus, SEO Experts, etc.) : Change your passwords frequently.

Romance / 7 Ways To Give The Perfect Handjob by Yungkida(m): 2:24pm On May 26, 2016
The art of the handjob is much more complicated than Mouth Gig or you can say that it is a difficult art on it’s own to master.

The tips below should go a long way in providing and helping prospective handjob recipients the perfect finish line.

1. Get underneath the head, and play with that a little bit.

2. Just because it’s a handjob as the name implies doesn’t mean you can’t juice it up with your mouth. Now you know bae… *Wink*

3. Handjob needs to be passionate

4. You need to be looking into the recipient’s eyes while giving this task.

5. Find a niche that suit the recipient, whether giving it fast or slow.

6. You’ll have to spit all over the errm *Machine* and do the twisty – twisty thing. (Send me a mail to inquire about this Milez@socialspy.ng)

7. You can ask questions while doing it – Questions like “Do you like this? Do you want this wet? Would you like this harder, softer, faster?’ If you look at them in the eye and ask them exactly what they want, they’re going to get exactly what they want.”

And that, dear readers, will reportedly inspire the perfect handjob ever in history… *Wink*

Health / Doctor Confirms That It’s Totally Possible To Get Pregnant Through Anal Sex by Yungkida(m): 2:34pm On May 17, 2016
Why use anal in the first place?? Huh The hole is perfect and sweet
Oh sh*t is right. As everyone who’s ever taken a high school sex ed class knows, it’s impossible to get pregnant from having anal sex. Sure, you may die instantly from an STD (if your ex-marine gym teacher is to be believed), but at least you won’t have to worry about having a baby. Right?

WRONG. As Dr. Brian Steixner explained to Men’s Health, it is technically possible for a woman to conceive through anal sex.

Dr. Steixner, now the Director of the Institute of Men’s Health at Jersey Urology Group in Atlantic City, was a mere medical student when he studied a female patient who had a “cloaca.” While a common part of reptile and bird anatomy, in humans a cloaca is a very rare condition in which a woman’s underdeveloped bladder, vagina and rectum open through one chamber.

When this woman came back to the ER clearly pregnant, Dr. Steixner says,

We knew about her condition, and we had followed her for a decade. After doing a whole bunch of X-rays, we determined that she got pregnant from having anal sex. Was she going to have to poop the baby out? I thought that would be hilarious, but ultimately, the OBGYNs couldn’t figure out a way to effectively deliver the baby through the rectum safely. So she had a C-section.

So, yes, there’s a very, very slim chance a woman could become pregnant through the backdoor. In that case, though, you likely have bigger problems on your hands — like telling your vagina from your rectum. Let’s just be thankful the worst thing we’ll be delivering through our butts is Chipotle.

Celebrities / The Game Shoots Down G-unit Reunion Rumors by Yungkida(m): 2:26pm On May 17, 2016
The Game shot down rumors of a potential G-Unit reunion on Monday during an interview with HipHopDX on the set of his new music video “Roped Off.” “Yeah, I don’t know where that came from, man, but I can’t see that happening no time in the near future,” he said.

While the news may be disappointing for longtime G-Unit fans who were excited about the possibility of a reconciliation, it’s also not much of a surprise. After a decade of beefing and diss tracks—not to mention the infamous February 2005 shootout involving 50 and Game outside of New York’s Hot 97—the idea that 50 Cent and Game could put their differences aside and reunite seemed a longshot.

At the very least, though, it does sound like the whole crew is ready to put all of the anger and animosity they’ve had for one another behind them. During his interview with HipHopDX, The Game went on to explain that 50 is “doing his thing, I’m doing my thing, and Banks, Buck, and Yayo, they’re all doing they thing… Positivity and all love these days. 2016, we trying to keep everybody alive out here, man.”

While they haven’t had the grand reconciliation many have hoped for, 50 and Game have been noticeably friendlier with each other in recent months. Game posted an Instagram video in March praising 50’s Effen vodka. 50 and Game also peacefully partied in the same club together later that month, and Game buried the hatchet with Lloyd Banks in February while hanging out with him in Dubai. It’s why many fans thought a reunion might be coming when 50 and Game showed up at the same video shoot for DJ Drama’s “Wishing” in early May. The fact that G-Unit isn’t reuniting is sad news for G-Unit fans, but if nothing else, it seems like the days of dissing and shootouts are finally behind them.

Art, Graphics & Video / 12 World’s Most Wanted Photos | Nudity! Taboos!! And Kate!!! by Yungkida(m): 1:04pm On May 17, 2016
A series of the world's famous photos has been declared as "Most Wanted" and to be auctioned off by Sotheby's.

134 lots will go up for sale in London on May 19 as part of an exhibit titled "Photographs," which will feature prints by legendary photographers including Helmut Newton and David LaChapelle.

Newton -- who had worked with fashion publications such as Vogue for almost 50 years -- is considered a pioneer in the industry.
He is recognized for pushing boundaries by weaving erotic and taboo themes into his work early in his career.

His images often position female models in a provocative but empowering manner, while subtly incorporating colorful themes into his black and white photographs.

"To have taboos, then to get around them -- that is interesting," Newton had previously said.
LaChapelle's work, in contrast, is overtly graphic.
He uses a signature highly-saturated color palette to create strong and sensational imagery.

His career first kickstarted in the late 1980's when he worked with artist Andy Warhol on a shoot for "Interview" magazine, and has since photographed celebrities including actor Leonardo DiCaprio and singer Britney Spears.

His photograph "The Money Shot" from 2001 will be available in the auction.
The highest estimated auction price belongs to a rare photograph by American artist Irving Penn, which is expected to sell for over $230,000.

The striking image is titled "Mouth," and features a psychedelic close-up shot of a models lips, which has only been available on the auction block twice before.
See more highlights from the "Photographs" auction in the gallery below...

Crime / Iran Is Currently Arresting Women For Exposing Hair On Instagram by Yungkida(m): 8:09am On May 17, 2016
We've learnt so many things from social media, stuffs like you posting the wrong thing on social media can get you fired from a job and also if you are a woman in Iran, it could land you in serious trouble.

This is the story of 26-year-old Elham Arab, the famous Instagram celebrity so to say, known for her bleached hair and awesome stunning photos in luxury bridal gowns. She was recently interrogated by two prosecutors and accused on National TV for not keeping her hair fully covered.

Elham was quick to warn others about posting pictures of themselves and thus exposing their hair on the web, though Elham was not quick to defend her actions.

"You can be certain that no man would want to marry a model whose fame has come by losing her honor," she added.

This action prompted her Instagram account to be disabled.

According to the New York Times, Iran officials has recorded that about eight persons have been arrested for the trending practice of modelling on social media without the mandatory head scarf.

Daily dot also reported that the bust part of an operation know as Spider II, which was tagged "Pornography and Insulting Islamic Sanctity" - One woman was questioned on National TV last week Sunday for allegedly exposing her hair.

This new development is part of Iran's increased effort to checkmate the social media activities of her citizens as a way of curbing or blocking out Western influence.

"Sterilizing popular cyberspaces is on our agenda," Javad Babaei, Iran’s prosecutor for cybercrime, said.

Celebrities / Lupita Nyong’o To Join Marvel’s ‘black Panther’ Movie by Yungkida(m): 11:58am On May 13, 2016
Lupita Nyong’o‘s career shows no signs of the post-Oscar slump.

Indeed, via a savvy selection of roles and a growing list of endorsement deals, the Academy Award winner – who won Best Supporting Actress for her role in ’12 Years A Slave’ – has broken the shackles so many of her predecessors weren’t able to.

And if a new report proves true, her rapidly rising star will only soar higher – thanks to Marvel‘s hotly anticipated ‘Black Panther’ movie.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Kenyan thespian is in negotiations to star opposite lead actor Chadwick Boseman in the flick – which arrives in 2018.

Boseman’s take on the Black Panther was briefly introduced in the latest ‘Captain America: Civil War’ film. Wildly successful, the title has earned $700 million (and counting) at the global box office.

Naturally, expectations are high. Hence, the tentative enlisting of Lupita serves as a smart play by director Ryan Coogler (whose credits include ‘Creed’ and ‘Fruitvale Station’). Especially following the rub the starlet received by way of her recent turns big budget efforts ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ and ‘The Jungle Book.’

Details on Nyong’o’s character have not yet been divulged, but it is believed she will appear as Panther’s love interest.

We can’t wait to see her in action
