TB Joshua - An East-African President Will Be Kidnapped By Terrorists - Religion

A President from an East African nation will soon be kidnapped by terrorists, renowned Nigerian televangelist TB Joshua has prophesied.

The televangelist also said he saw a vision of people having a good time in a nightclub before it was blown up.

His prophecy has got many Kenyans worried even though the pastor clarified that Kenya was not the East African country he is prophesying about.

Perhaps having come from a terrorist attack just over a month ago, Kenyans are still over the edge and fear is yet to leave the hearts of many.

TB Joshua, whose net worth the BBC puts at between N1.6Billion and N3.7Billion, is said to have given several prophecies in Nigeria, most of which have come true.

Funke Akindele And The Bastardisation Of The English Language – Daniel Odih

The entertainment industry is dulling our inteligence The Nigerian entertainment industry, as well as the Nigerian government and society, is greatly contributing to the falling standard of education in Nigeria. Children, just like adults, over the years, believe in the printed and electronic media and they copy, or hold so dear, whatever they see or hear on TV and read in newspapers. Before now, entertainers like Zebrudaya Okeke alias 4:30, Jaguar, etc enlivened the industry and provoked laughter, while infesting the learning environment with wrong grammatical expressions, sounds and idioms. For example, “More grease to your elbow” is a bastardised version of “More power to your elbow”; “Cut your coat according to your size” instead of “Cut your coat according to your cloth”; “Action speak louder than voice” instead of “Actions speak louder than words”; “The devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know” instead of “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t”; and “Half bread is better than none” instead of “Half a loaf is better than no bread.” These are a few examples of English expressions that have been bastardised as a result of our contact with the entertainment industry. From the music industry, entertainers such as Olamide, Whizkid have changed the mindset of many young Nigerians, infusing slangs – which students remember quicker than a teacher’s teaching or formals – into their songs. Such spirit kills the quality of teaching and learning. The worst of these people in this century is Funke Akindele. She rose to stardom by her clownish behaviour and expressions. Such expressions and utterances are, in fact, killing the quality of education in Nigeria. In her movie, The Hero, Funke’s grammar was so bad that it made watching the movie very tiresome for the learned and highly lettered ones. No one in their sane mind would sit and watch Funke’s recent movies and feel that they are watching a good movie – except if they are of the same background as Funke. She says: “Who is you?” instead of Who are you?; “I am deading” rather than I am dying; “This womens” – These women; “Let me told you” – Let me tell you; “Foice” – Voice; “Shindren” – Children; “Sow” – Show, etc. Such comic but deadly statements are condemnable. Such laughter provoking but academically killing grammar should be extirpated completely if Funke must make sense to million of people like me. Funke can still make her millions while speaking normal. This melodramatic and bastardised grammar is only killing our youth who watch a lot of home videos. It does not build them. And woe is he who pleases himself while giving a painless death to other people. Every lover of success for tomorrow’s leaders should stand up and speak against the grammar abuse by our entertainers. Although one may not blame them completely, for they are speaking to the best of their knowledge, it is expedient for them to know that a million people rely on their spoken grammar. Entertainers such as Genevieve Nnaji, Pete Edochie and Ini Edo, made a name for themselves without abusing the rules of grammar usage. Such grammar abuse, in my view, is a Unclad sign of half education. Daniel Odih writes from Lokoja, Kogi State.

Court Of Appeal Sacks 2 Senators, 8 House Of Rep. Members - naijaswap

The ruling upheld an earlier decision of a federal high court The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Friday fired two Senators and eight House of Representatives members from Katsina state, who got their seats after their initial occupants were sacked by the Independent National Electoral Commission December 2011. The court ordered that those sacked by INEC be reinstated. They are Senators Abdu Umar Yandoma and Ahmad Sani Stores, House of Reps members, Murtala Isa, Muntari Dandutse, Musa Salisu, Aminu Ashiru and Umar Adamu Katsayal, Muhammad Tukur, Tasi’u Doguro, and Abdu Dankama. Those occupying the seats presently, who are to vacate are Senators Abubakar Yar’adua and Hadi Sirika, House of Reps members Ahmed Babba Kaita, Salisu Salisco, Umar Abubakar, Salisu Daura, Isa Doro, Sani Mashi, Abbas Machika and Mansur Funtua. The first set of lawmakers were sacked in December 2011 by the electoral body which said they were not the due candidates for the elections on the platform of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC. That decision was overturned in January 2013 by a High Court in Abuja, which ordered that the initial winners be reinstated. But that ruling was not effected as the second set of lawmakers appealed against the ruling. In its ruling on Friday, the Court of Appeal affirmed the judgement of the Federal High Court, Abuja which voided the withdrawal of Certificate of Returns of the first 10 Katsina lawmakers. The court also said the leadership of the National Assembly acted in error by accepting to swear-in the second set of lawmakers to replace the old ones after INEC issued to them Certificate of Returns. Justice Jimmy Bada, who led four other judges to hear the appeal said that the High Court was right to have dismissed the objection raised by the lawmakers currently in the National Assembly. “There is no court of competent jurisdiction that declared the appellant as winner in the election,” the judge said. “The respondents (those whose certificate of returns were withdrawn) were duly sworn-in and I am of the view that the court below has the powers to entertain the case of the respondent. “The certificate of returns issued to the appellants is a nullity. The court below was right in dismissing the objection of the appellants. INEC issued the certificate of returns without order from any court or tribunal”. The lawyer representing the lawmakers who have been ordered to vacate their seats, John Baiyeeshea, said the appeal, which raised four issues for the court’s determination, was not a pre-election matter and as such the federal high court had no jurisdiction to hear and make a pronouncement on it. He argued that the issuance of Certificates of Return and alleged withdrawal of the certificate are post-election matters, and begged the court to annul the judgement of the high court.

Michelle Obama Responds To Kanye West’s Recent Comments [Blasted Kanye west] - naijaswap

Kanye West recently spoke to Ryan Seacrest about a number of things. Here’s one of the things he said.
“There’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue. She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday … and collectively we’re the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [President] Obama is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day … so it’s to say when we are there and [editor-in-chief of French Vogue] Carine Roitfeld supports my girl, that’s a breakthrough … there’s a wall of classism that we are breaking through.”
I can only imagine this is what Michelle Obama had to say in response.
Dear Kanye,
Hi, it’s Michelle. Michelle Obama, Barack’s wife. Barack Obama, the President of the United States of America.
That makes me the First Lady of the United States of America. Me = Michelle Obama.
I hope all is well.
You know, Kanye, I woke up this morning. In the White House. And one of my aides told me she had something to show me. Something that would make me laugh. A “cute” thing, if you will.
It was a series of quotes, Kanye. About my husband and me. About my Vogue magazine cover. And fashion. And classism.
They were your quotes. You were the cute thing, Kanye. And my aide was right. It did make me laugh. Oh, what a hearty White House laugh it was.
Keep my name out your mouth, ya heard.
Tell me, Kanye, what’s your goal with this? Why us? Are you still mad about my husband calling you a jackass a few times? Is that why you’re focusing on me instead of on all the other women who have been on the cover of Vogue?
That’s what this is all about, isn’t it? You’re out here all mad simply because we’re stylin’ on you? I know Barack never did apologize for the name-calling, because you know how you men are with your stubbornness.
But it’s more than that. It’s bigger than fashion. To you, this has become a couple vs. couple thing.
I once overheard some of our summer interns talking about you — about how mad you get when you’re compared to other rappers, because your peers are Jesus and Jobs and Walt Disney. I heard it and actually respected that. It shows you have some drive to be a great man. You should fight to get your respect. I see my husband, the President of the Free World, get disrespected every day. And it tears me apart.
So you have to understand where I’m coming from when I say it’s laughable for my 21-years marriage to be mentioned on the same website as your thing with Kim.

Kanye Thinks He And Kim Are More Influential Than Barack Obama And Michelle

Kanye just needs to learn to shut the hell up, Christ!!!
Kanye might be talented as a rapper, but that’s about it. He isn’t among thr top 5 richest entertainers anyway, so why the noise all the time.
Him getting together with Kim seems to have made matters worse. Kanye will always seize the slightest opportunity to promote himself and his baby mama Kim Kardashian.
In a very recent interview, Kanye explains why he and his fiancee Kim are more influential than president Barrack Obama and the First Lady, Michelle Obama.
Kanye tells Ryan Seacrest;

“There’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue. She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday.”

“And collectively, we’re the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.”

ASUU STRIKE: Nigerian Universities To Open Next Week With Or Without ASUU

In a last ditch effort to resolve the ASUU strike, President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday, November 4, meet with the leadership of ASUU at the Presidential Villa.

This was part of the resolutions of the meeting between the ASUU leadership, Vice President Namadi Sambo and the Supervising Minister of Education on Tuesday as was first reported by this medium.
An official of the Vice President’s office who pleaded anonymity said that all hands are now on deck to ensure that the universities resume next week.
The official stated that the Vice President and the Supervising Minister of Education have made head-way in resolving the strike, but the final involvement of the President is to show ASUU that there is the commitment of the Federal Government at the highest level.
It was learnt that the President has been fully briefed on steps taken by Vice President Namadi Sambo and the Supervising Minister of Education to get to this point and he will at next Monday’s meeting present to the ASUU leadership the administration’s last concession for them to call off the prolonged strike.

A source at the Presidential Villa noted that if ASUU fails to call off, the Federal Government will then resort to plan B, which will be to compulsorily open the universities, using the instrumentality of the governing councils and the school managements.
Already, most of the governing councils of the universities have started meeting to work out modalities for the compulsory re-opening of the universities should ASUU fail to honour the personal request of President Jonathan.
According to report, the Supervising Minister of Education, Barr. Nyesom Wike and the Vice Chancellors of Public Universities also discussed the re-opening of the schools last Monday. Most of the Vice Chancellors suggested the compulsory re-opening of the schools, should the last ditch efforts fail.
It was gathered that security report available to the Presidency may have necessitated this line of action to salvage the universities system from the direction it is facing at present.

Florida Town Plans to Ticket Women for Wearing Low Pants

First, men were banned from wearing baggy pants low on their hips to show off their underwear.
Now, it’s the ladies’ turn.
The Florida town of Opa-locka is set to approve a bylaw telling women to pull up their pants. A similar bylaw for men was passed in 2007.
Allowing your undies to show could result in a $500 fine or 25 hours of community service.
“I never wanted to try to put somebody’s child in jail,” Commissioner Timothy Holmes told the Miami Herald. “Even though, in my opinion, some of them need to go to jail with their pants down like that.”
Commissioner Dorothy Johnson told the paper she supports the ordinance after witnessing mothers whose children were begging them to pull up their pants.

Facebook Can Now Predict If Your Relationship Is Doomed, Study Reveals

Who you are friends with on Facebook could determine when you will break up with your partner.

A study from Cornell University in America has worked out a way of accurately predicting which couples will separate just by seeing who they’re friends with on the site.

Lars Backstrom and Jon Kleinberg looked at over 1.3 million Facebook users to come up with the method.

Couples who had lots of mutual friends were not the strongest duos – their mutual friends also had to know each other as well.

Called “low dispersion,” this means that your friends meet your partner’s friends and merge to form one large social group.

 ”A spouse or romantic partner is a bridge between a person’s different social worlds,” Kleinberg explained to the New York Times.

Using this, Backstrom and Kleinberg were able to correctly identify who somebody’s spouse was 60 per cent of the time and correctly guess somebody’s partner a third of the time.
Relationships that hadn’t been spotted using the dispersion algorithm were 50 per cent more likely to break up over the next two months, compared to those that had been identified by looking at friendships of mutual friends.
Facebook is not planning on integrating this information into the website just yet, however.
A spokeswoman told PCMag.com: “The specific findings from this study are not currently being used in making News Feed a better product.”
“It has helped the team think about things and informed some of the features we use in ranking.”

Suspected US Drone Strike Kills 3 In Pakistan

Intelligence officials in Pakistan say a suspected US drone strike has killed at least three people in North Waziristan.
Two intelligence officials said two missiles hit a house on Friday in the village of Dande Darpa Khel near the main town of Miran Shah.
The officials said the village is the stronghold of the Haqqani militant network, believed to have been the target of the drone.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren’t authorised to speak to journalists.
The missile strike is the second after Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to the US last month where he pressed for an end to the drone strikes.

Lagos Housewife Risks A 2-year Jail Term For Pouring Urine On Neighbour

A 28-year-old housewife, Bola Shakiru, has been charged before an Ejigbo Magistrates’ Court in Lagos, with pouring urine on her neighbour, Mary Chijioke.
Shakiru is facing a two-count charge of assault and malicious damage.
Speaking in court on Friday, prosecutor, Cpl. Femi Adeleye, told the court that the accused committed the offence at her No. 10 Sanusi St., Ejigbo, Lagos residence.
Adeleye said: “the accused conducted herself in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace by pouring urine on Mary Chijioke”.
According to him, the accused maliciously damaged the louvre blades on the window, and the net on the door of the apartment of the complainant.

634bn Spent On Kerosene Subsidy In 2 Years

N634 billion has been paid by the Federal Government between 2010-2012 as subsidy for kerosene importation over a three year period, a sum which is about a third of the country’s capital budget.

Although the government pays subsidy every year, only retail outlets of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation sells at the subsidized rate of N50 per litre, signifying the now obvious corruption in the management of the Petroleum Subsidy Fund, PSF.

Economic analysts wonder why the product remains subsidized, since it is not being sold at regulated price, calling for appropriate measures to be taken, before its adverse effect on the economy becomes too much to absorb.
The Chairman, House Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), Dakuku Peterside, disclosed this yesterday, at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, LCCI Petroleum Downstream Group Seminar on Kerosene.

Why Ghanian Authorities Stopped Aki & Pawpaw, Others from Shooting a Movie

Popular Nigerian actors Aki & Pawpaw, Kwadjo ‘Liwin’ Nkansah and other actors have been suddenly stopped from shooting a movie in Kumasi, Ghana.

The directive which came from the Film Producers’ Association of Ghana (FIPAG) was due to the fact that the director of the movie had breached some of the association’s regulations.
The public relations officer (PRO) for the Association, Mr. Michael Ola, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with NYDJlive.
The PRO explained that the FIPAG had no qualms with the Nigerian duo but believed the right procedure had to be followed, especially when the new executives of the Association had laid out new strategies to make the industry a better one.

Therefore, the duo has been asked to officially obtain documents from the Film Industry in Nigeria, working permit, as well as make payments for the continuation of the shoot.
It has been learnt that Peace and Love Productions, the production house which is in charge of the movie, had already commenced with procedure to make things easy for the continuation of the movie.
It would be recalled that Aki and Pawpaw got their fame in the mid 2000′s, when Nigerian movies became the toast of many across Ghana, and also for their intelligence in outwitting others in their movies.

PHOTO: Nigeria Police Explains The Picture That Shows Senior Police Officer Fondling Lady’s Boobs

The Nigeria Police has described the photograph, which showed a senior police officer in the act of fondling the chest of an unknown lady, as fake. It said the picture, which went viral on the Internet, was deliberately fabricated with the aid of Adobe Photoshop technology to mislead the public.


The alleged amorous scene, the police authorities claimed, did not take place and the officer had nothing to do with the woman.
The police said it arrived at this conclusion after interrogating the policeman, who was seen in the type of uniform worn by officers of the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.
On the official Facebook page of the police, the affected police officer was quoted as saying, “I don’t know this lady. I never took the picture with her.”
However, the authorities did not name the police officer nor give the details of the command where he is serving.
The police said that though it does not forbid its rank and file to pose with members of the public for photographs, it would not tolerate any display of affection for the opposite s*x in full public glare.
“An image showing one of our officers in a compromising position with a lady has gone viral. Please check the hands in the so-called picture that is in circulation and you will agree that they were photo-shopped.
“Other citizens of this country are encouraged to pose for snapshots with our uniformed officers if they so desire, just as it is done worldwide. What we discourage is public display of affection by our uniformed officers,” it said.
After it appeared online, the controversial photograph provoked widespread condemnation from many Nigerians who have described the development as an act of indiscipline.
Claiming to be policemen, some people wrote on the police Facebook page that the phot0graph was the handiwork of mischief makers, who were clearly determined to drag the name of the security agency in mud.
They said that no uniformed officer of the rank of ACP would  be so careless as to pose for a photograph in such a compromising position with a lady.
One Oluwasegun Samuel-Alalade commented on the wall of the Facebook page. “I know it is not real. Even a fresh recruit undergoing training at the Police College will not do such a thing, not to mention a top ranking officer. The Nigeria Police Force should kindly disregard the photograph, “ he wrote.

APC’s Poaching Of Our Governors Height Of Hypocrisy, Cries PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday said it would remain committed to national interest and the unity of the country as a true national party.

This information is contained in a statement issued by Mr Olisa Metuh, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, in Abuja.
“We will continue to be committed to the national interest and the unity of the country in line with the principles of equity and justice.
“These among several others are encapsulated in the PDP ideology and manifesto,” Metuh said.
He thanked President Goodluck Jonathan, for his humility and calmness so far exhibited in the face of provocation and obvious attacks by the opposition.
This, according to the statement, is a mark of a true statesman which is not being exhibited by some other leaders.
He urged Nigerians to continue to support the president and his transformation agenda geared toward the good of all.
Metuh said that the move by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to woo the aggrieved PDP governors shows that the party lacked true followership.
“The move by the opposition APC clearly shows that the APC lacked true followership and electable materials at all levels, hence its desperate bid to poach from the PDP.

Just Like Joseph In The Bible, My Colleagues Conspired To Betray Me – Justice Salami

ACTING PRESIDENT, COURT OF APPEAL, JUSTICE ZAINAB BULKACHUWA (L), WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT, JUSTICE AYO SALAMI, AT THE VALEDICTORY COURT SESSION OF THE COURT IN HONOUR OF JUSTICE SALAMI IN ABUJA ON THURSDAY

Recently retired President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Isa Ayo Salami, yesterday, compared his travails to those of the biblical Joseph, saying he was betrayed and sold out by most of his hitherto trusted friends and colleagues on the Bench.

Salami, who spoke at a valedictory court session that was held in his honour by the Court of Appeal in Abuja, maintained that he was a victim of executive witch-hunt, even as he added that the National Judicial Council, NJC, unwittingly allowed itself to be used by desperate politicians that wanted to see his exit from the appellate court by all means.
Justice Salami, who holds the infamous record of being the only judicial officer in Nigeria’s history to be placed under suspension for the longest period, stressed that the NJC by its actions and conduct with regards to all the issues that culminated to his suspension on August 18, 2010, grossly failed in its duties and functions as a sacred arm of the Nigerian judiciary.
His words: “The last three years of my career were dogged by travails which are not dissimilar to the fate of Joseph in the book of Genesis in the Bible; as his brothers conspired to destroy him by throwing him into a well and selling him into slavery, my learned brothers and friends in the legal profession planned and executed same evil to me.
“The National Judicial Council, NJC, created by the Constitution to protect me, nay any judicial officer, was on the vanguard of my travails. The NJC failed in its duties and thereby surrendered its functions to the Executive arm of government thus, ingratiating itself to the Executive.

My Decision To Join APC Dependent On Meeting With Kano PDP Stakeholders – Kwankwaso

Gov. Rabi’u Kwankwaso of Kano State has said that he will consult stakeholders of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in the state before he can join the All Progressive Congress (APC).

“Kwankwasiyya movement is a disciplined movement. We are working as group and team”, he said.
He assured the delegation that he would consult all the stakeholders of the party in the state with a view to critically examine their demand.
He described Kwankwasiyya as a ‘powerful movement’ which had the capacity and strength to win election in 2015.
He said that the PDP had 31 out of 40 state assembly members, two senators and 14 members of the House of Representatives.

Zombies Are HURTING AMERICA, Fox News Claims

Zombies haven’t even attacked yet, and they’re already chewing through the artery of the United States of America.
At least, that’s what Fox News’ Dr. Manny Alvarez would have you believe. In a column published last week, Alvarez decries American society’s obsession with “The Walking Dead” and the inevitable zombie apocalypse, going so far as to say the craze is pulling our focus away from “music, education, science or the classics.”
Alvarez writes:

The idea of a zombie-infested world inspires fantasies of monsters possessed by an uncontrollable rage to kill, and viewers get a thrill imagining what it would be like to participate in this new world order. …Give me a break. As a doctor and scientist, I know one thing for sure: When you’re dead, you’re dead. Our brains should be less focused on imaginary zombie hoards and more focused on harnessing the tools that we need in order to enhance our lives, whether it be music, education, science or the classics. Entertainment should help us soothe our brains so that we can ease our minds of some of the stress from our daily lives. …
Wake up and smell the coffee. Stop obsessing over eating brains, and focus on cultivating your own.

But are zombies really taking a toll on this great country, where we can simultaneously eat a life-sized unicorn cake filled with rainbows and read a story about a “Teen Mom” star vowing to eat her own placenta?
The facts may prove otherwise.

Jesus Halloween Costume Leads To Illinois Teen’s Removal From Classroom - naijaswap

An Illinois high school student was reportedly pulled from the classroom on Thursday over his Halloween costume: Jesus Christ.
Angenetta Frison, the mother of Highland Park High School senior Marshon Sanders, told the Chicago Sun-Times her son was kicked out of class because some teachers found the student’s costume – consisting of a white robe, red sash, a white head scarf, a crown of thorns and a cross necklace — to be offensive.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the teen has been allowed to return to class and wear it once again after school officials confirmed he did not mean any disrespect with the costume. They had initially believed the costume could offend “religious sensibilities.”

Earlier Thursday, Sanders was forced to remove his costume before returning to the classroom at the Highland Park, Ill. school, his mother told ABC Chicago.
Highland Park is located about 20 miles north of Chicago.
The incident is not the first time a student has been removed from school for dressing as the religious figure for Halloween, In 2008, an eighth grader in New Jersey was sent home from school over his Jesus costume.

Once you guys start to spend a lot of time together, it should be apparent on how well you get along with the basic aspects of everyday life. If you live together, this process will be more obvious early on.
Do you find yourself bickering about how to load the dishwasher or other mundane tasks?
It’s ok to have different ways of doing things but you want them to be complimentary, and not the source of endless arguments.
2. Religious Beliefs.
A common area that drives many couples apart is incompatible religious beliefs. Is she a devout Christian while you’re a hard-line atheist, or do you share similar outlooks on faith?
3. Goals.
Do you share the same long-term plans in life?
If one of you demands the spoils that only a high paying job can provide while the other is happy to live frugally, this might cause friction over time. Make sure her expectations are closely aligned to your own ambition.

4. Sense Of Humor.
Does she get your jokes?
If your attempt at being funny keeps falling flat, it might make for a dull existence together. Most women love a guy who makes them laugh.
If she’s always rolling to your humor then this is a good piece of chemistry to have.
5. Trust.
Can you trust her out with her friends and not worry about acts of infidelity? No guy wants to be always on pins and needles thinking about whether his hot girlfriend is accepting the advances of other men.
If you know you can trust her regardless of any situation, that’s an excellent sign that she’s a good catch.
6. Support.
Is she loyal or does she find any opportunity to put you down? A girl that supports you with positive encouragement is vital to a long-term relationship. No one wants a nag for years to come.

TO THE LADIES: Top 4 Things That Turn Men Off - naijaswap

We are creatures of habit, and there’s some things girls do that we, as men just can’t stand! Whether girls know it or not, these are the top 4 things they do that are instant deal breakers.

4. Always on their phone when they’re with you.
Look, if you’d rather be hanging out or talking to someone else, then why are you even with me in the first place?!
3. Always Loving to Gossip
If you’re always a negative person and loving to talk bad about other people, then what are you saying about me? We don’t want to feel like we have to be perfect to be with you and this is all that it portrays about your personality.

2. Girls That Stay Out of Shape
Look at this girl. She has motivation. She has drive. It’s not being shallow that we don’t like overweight girls, it’s what it says about you as a woman. Why would we go after someone we want to care about us if they don’t even have enough respect to care about themselves? Don’t get angry at this comment, there’s always a solution to being overweight. If it’s genetic, then fight back a little harder than other people. Motivation and drive for excellence is extremely sexy to men, and being out of shape shows you own none of these qualities.
1. Complaining and Being Pessimistic
The WORST! Girls that can’t find joy in anything. When something goes right, they think about how things could go wrong in the future. When you have a side in an argument, she’s not even open to the fact that you may be right and when proven wrong will just make you feel bad about being right. It goes without saying that everything exactly opposite of what this is is what we look for. Girls, throw your stubbornness, pity, and selfishness out the door if you want to attract real men.

STRESS REDUCING SECRET: Top 10 Super Foods That Soothe Stress - naijaswap

It’s a fact. Chronic stress affects your appetite.
For some, stress reduces appetite and for others stress causes ravaging hunger. Either way, you need healthy, organic food that soothes stress so that your body can cope. This is the very best form of medication.
Of course, many us of have a tendency to eat inflammatory junk food when stressed. Eating food laced with chemicals, sugar, hydrogenated oils and empty calories fuels the fire of chronic stress and only makes you feel worse in the end.
It’s amazing that even though we know this, some of us still fill our faces with junky “comfort” food that sends us further down the road to misery and an early death. This can only be called self-sabotage.
If it’s time for you to end self-sabotage by junk food, say hello to the new comfort foods.
1. Dark Chocolate.
Dark chocolate contains magnesium, which helps ease emotional tension. Dark chocolate also contains theo bromine, which is a natural mood elevator. Find a good source of organic, raw chocolate for even better results. Don’t overdo it!
2. Almonds.
Almonds are rich in vitamins B2 and E. Both of these nutrients boost the immune system during episodes of stress. Just a few almonds a day does the job.
3. Spinach.
Spinach is high in magnesium, the mineral that helps regulate cortisol levels and promote emotional well-being. A cup of spinach per day provides 40 percent of your daily need.
4. Turkey.
The high levels of tryptophan in turkey signal the brain to release serotonin, which promotes calmness, peace of mind and even sleepiness when you need it.
5. Oatmeal.

Oatmeal also promotes serotonin in the brain. Use old fashioned, courser oats as they take longer to break down, which is easier on your pancreas.
6. Sweet Potatoes.
Sweep potatoes are full of fiber, beta-carotene, and other immunity-boosting anti-oxidants that fight inflammation and give you a smooth, peaceful feeling.
7. Yogurt.
Yogurt is a wonderful, calcium-rich, probiotic and acid neutralizer. Go with organic yogurt rather than the stuff made with contaminated, commercial dairy products!
8. Asparagus.
Stress and depression has been linked to low levels of folic acid, which can be found in abundance in asparagus. A single cup provides two-thirds of your daily value.
9. Avocado.
Full of B vitamins, avocados are a great stress buster. They’re also high in potassium and monounsaturated fat, which lower blood pressure.
10. Blueberries.
Blueberries are the low sugar super fruit packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, making them great stress-busters. The body needs vitamin C and antioxidants to help repair and protect cells.
Imagine spending the next three weeks incorporating these super nutritious, calming super foods into your diet and eliminating inflammatory foods that promote stress. You’ll feel the difference!

Will Smith And Wife Might Be Heading For Divorce Soon- naijaswap

 

For three months now, the singer, actor and movie producer is said to be living separately from his wife, and have put their family home up for sale.

The couple who have been married for 15 years, have two kids; Jaden and Willow, although Smith has a 20-year-old son; Trey, from his previous marriage to actress Sheree Fletcher.
News of the crack in their marriage came as a surprise to fans, who have considered the couple to be having one of the most solid marriages in Hollywood. Indication to the mishap surfaced early in the year, when Jada reportedly suggested that their marriage was on the rocks.
“When you are going through a storm with your spouse, stop thinking about what you ‘believe’ a husband or wife should be,” said Jada, according to a fellow audience member at a charity event.
The actor, who is trending with his current futuristic science thriller, After Earth, is said to be in New Orleans, filming his latest movie Focus, while Jada is believed to have moved into her brother Caleeb’s home in Los Angeles. This is not the first time the couple has been hit by rumours of marital problems.

4 Types of S*x to Avoid, No Matter How Good it Feels

S-E-X! It may be good for your heart, great for your mood and even work wonders on your skin, but not all types offer the same benefits.
Sometimes s*x can make a bad situation worse and leave you wishing you hadn’t wasted your good underwear & clean sheets on a brief fling with s*xual mediocrity.
Here are the 4 types of s*x to avoid at all cost.
Break-Up s*x: It may seem appealing to take one last ride on that pony for old time’s sake, but the consequences will likely outweigh the benefits. You’re breaking up, which means something isn’t working. And even if s*x isn’t the cause of your break-up, it can complicate an already delicate situation. For instance, it’s easy for your partner to misconstrue your intentions. When it comes to break-up s*x, you don’t want your “It has been a pleasure doing business with you,” to be misinterpreted for a “Thank you. Come again!” Even if you’re the type who makes your intentions crystal clear, science still offers warnings against break-up s*x. Romantic rejection and heartbreak trigger the same parts of the brain associated with pain, distress and addiction. It takes time to reduce these triggers and when the wound is fresh, you don’t want to train your body to link s*x with these conditions.
Drunk s*x: A few drinks may loosen you up and help you to shed your inhibitions, but be sure to limit how many glasses you down as you may end up shedding and downing more than you bargained for. “Bottom’s up” may be in good fun at the bar, but you need to decide whether you’re open to letting it take on a whole new meaning bedside. If you plan on drinking, bear in mind that alcohol impairs your judgment. Booze goggles not only cause light-of-day regret the following morning, but also reduce the likelihood of using condoms and other safer s*x tools – so plan ahead. And that liquid confidence may seemingly improve your performance on the dance floor, but it can have the opposite effect sexually. Alcohol impacts your body’s s*xual response and circulation making erections and lubrication harder to come by.

Self-Pity s*x (The One Night Stand): If you’re having a little pity party for yourself and think that a one-night stand will elevate your spirits, you may want to think again – especially if you’re a woman. While a one-time roll in the hay (or nightclub restroom stall) can be fun for some, women seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to casual s*x. And the short sticks aren’t to blame. Research shows that over half (54 per cent) of women often feel disappointed by one-night stands and report high levels of regret the morning after. On the other hand, 80 per cent of men feel positively about the experience and say that it helps them to blow off some steam. Steam? Is that what they’re calling it these days? So before you take the plunge and turn to casual s*x to lift your spirits, be sure to consider other ways to crash the pity party.
Make-Up s*x: Experts are split on this one and you can decide for yourself whether make-up s*x works for you. Some psychologists believe that it rewards fighting, drama and generally bad behaviour. They suggest that couples are dealing with intensely negative emotions and instead of finding a resolution, they seek an opposite experience (pleasure) in s*x. They argue that this type of s*x isn’t “real intimacy” and that it can lead to loneliness and the belief that everything can be fixed with s*x. What a world it would be if this were true!
If you find yourself enticed by these four types of s*x, you may want to take a moment to reconsider. And if you’re still tempted, at least consider the laundry!

[Adults] 5 Things You Should NEVER Say To A Woman During s*x

Whether it’s your wife of five years or a chick you just met at a bar, s*x is an incredibly intimate experience—especially for the woman.

So when you’re in the bedroom (or elsewhere), it’s important to avoid unnecessary commentary that could ruin the mood, or worse— make her not want to sleep with you again. From discussing your s*xual repertoire to assessing her climax, here are five subjects to stay away from during s*x.

1. “Not like that.”
Remember in  school when you were taught to give “constructive criticism?” This does not apply to your lady in the bedroom. It’s not very sexy or encouraging to tell a woman her skills are subpar in the heat of the moment. You should always frame it in the positive by talking about what you do like. How we say things to each other can make a huge difference in performance and s*xual confidence.
Also avoid: “What are you doing?”
2. “My ex used to love it when I…”
All women are different, so don’t lean heavily on past experiences—and definitely don’t discuss it. Besides, who’s to say that the previous women didn’t fake their pleasure just to get you to finish quicker? Talking about your prior s*xual encounters can drive a woman completely crazy—and not in a good way. She doesn’t need to hear about it, and if you bring it up, she’ll feel threatened and jealous. For a lot of women, that’s a dealbreaker.”
Also avoid: “Let’s try this position that I did one time with…”
3. “I have to be out of here by 4:00.”

Making allusions to the idea that you don’t have much time to work with is a major mood-killer. If you absolutely must talk about somewhere that you need to be, or the fact that you’re in a rush, at least wait until afterward!
Also avoid: “I need to wake up super early tomorrow.”
4. “I wish you had more a*s to grab!”
Here’s a newsflash: Women are often extremely insecure, especially when they’re unclad and most vulnerable. Pointing out things about other women’s bodies that you like, particularly ones that highlight what your partner doesn’t have, is a major no. Anything that’s going to make a woman self-conscious is a female-libido kill. She’ll shut down immediately.”
Also avoid: “What’s that weird red bump on your back?”
5. “Did you come yet?”
Contrary to popular belief, “an climax does not define good or bad s*x. So please stop asking if she came or saying that you want to see her come. That puts way too much pressure on her.If she did climax, she can choose to say something or not, but it’s important to remember that for a woman, having an climax does not equal having a good time in bed. It can be lovely…but it should not be the goal.
Also avoid: “Are you going to come soon?”

5 Things People Are Afraid to Tell You About Getting Married

You’re engaged. One-hundred-and-thirty-one likes and 21 Facebook comments later, everyone has built you up to believe that you are about to embark on the most magical, exciting time of your life. How did you get so lucky? Man, people should be really jealous of you.

Cut to three months later.
You’re beginning to realize this process isn’t all its chalked up to be. You start scrolling through your iPhone to find people you can vent to. You are dealing with divorced parents and money issues, and somehow the 131 people on Facebook have all disappeared. No one is answering… which leads me to the first thing people are afraid to tell you about getting married:
1. No one cares about your wedding as much as you do.
I know it’s harsh, but if you can wrap your head around this little factoid from the beginning you will be better prepared for some letdowns to come.
You are the only person who is constantly thinking about your wedding. Everyone else has their own lives to worry about. They have jobs, families, and work as well. So while the wedding is at the forefront of your mind, it’s in the back of theirs.
Expect to be let down, for people to not call you back, or to not show up when they say they will. If you go in with this mindset, the letdowns won’t feel so major. You’ll realize it’s not you, it’s just the nature of the beast. They have lives too. And you can’t fault them for that — which leads me to…
2. Being a bride doesn’t give you the right to be a straight up biatch.
It’s like the world knows you are planning a wedding and really likes to kick you when you’re down. It’s easy to take your aggravation out on other people, but try not to.
It’s not just your day. It’s your fiancé’s day too. And don’t forget your parents, friends, and family who’ve shelled out a lot of cash to be there and make this day possible.
So when you feel like you are about to snap, just picture a film crew around you and smile on the outside and cuss on the inside.
3. When it comes to money, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
First and foremost, before you make any plans, take a long hard look at the kind of person you are financially. Are you the type of person who is okay with spending your savings of the past year on a party? Or are you the type who will look back and wish you had put that money toward a house?

Be honest with yourself. Don’t be influenced by what other people say you should do or be pressured to have a wedding you don’t want to have. Go to the courthouse and take a once-in-a-lifetime trip instead. Be real and upfront with yourself from the beginning. You’ll be left without a major bill, and most importantly, regrets.
This is crucial to your mental and financial well being, even if it is derived from a rap song.
4. Everyone else is eating on your tab, so you probably should, too.
I hate when I hear brides say, “Well I didn’t really drink that much or have that much fun. I was too busy saying hello to everyone throughout the night.”
This is the one night of your life where you are given a gift to travel back in time and eat with all of your friends and family. Basically it’s like going back to college, which is the greatest gift one can ever give.
Take advantage of it. Be in the moment. Forget about the part where the cake didn’t turn out right and the napkins were peach and not rose. Have a drink. Let loose and have fun with your new husband. You guys set the tone. If you guys are having a blast, then everyone else is sure to have one as well. And lastly…
5. Don’t lose sight of what the whole shebang is about.
It’s easy to get caught up in the budgets, programs, and seating charts. But don’t forget what it’s all about. You’ve found someone to kick it with for the rest of your life. And that isn’t a simple feat.
Lots of people get caught up in the wedding, which lasts a day, and not the marriage, which lasts a lifetime. Even though every other person on Facebook is posting pictures of weddings and babies, don’t get caught up in the hype. And most importantly, never settle. This isn’t something to enter into lightly.
But if you think you’re ready to take the leap, then do it. Drink, dance your a*s off, and pause for three seconds that night to just take everything in. Time can stop if you let it.
