2012-10-22T11:46:00.000-07:00

Rihanna has admitted to being pregnant and said she is more than capable to take care of a child on her own. Rihanna came clean after confrontation by Chris’ girlfriend as to how it happened.

Rihanna Okoro, a house help from Onitcha, confessed that she was impregnated by her Madam's husband when the Madam went for her usual long business trips to dubai!

The girl was beaten and tortured so rigorously until she could not take it any longer. She then told the Madam that they should release her in peace to go to the village to meet her people and have her baby there, that she is not interested in their money and she is not ready to drag any issue with anybody.

WHY MEN CHEAT

2012-08-20T11:33:00.000-07:00

The reason why men cheat is an age old question and can be varied. All main know cheating is wrong but they can't just let go of it like its their birth right or something......

Bellow are some of the reasons why men cheat. Enjoy

They have grown out of love; most men cheat because they are no more in love with their spouse and do not know how to go about it. They are bored and tired of the relationship mostly because the woman has changed and she is no longer the woman they met and fell in love with. Most men are still married to their wife because they have to, and sometimes for the sake of their children.

They are no longer attracted to their partner [sexually]; some men cheat because they no longer see their spouse as beautiful. Their partner is no longer as beautiful, sexy and irresistible as they were when they started the relationship.

They want to get revenge; some men cheat because their spouse has once cheated on them and they feel it’s the only way to get back at them.

They got away with it the last time; women have big hearts, so they forgive easily. Most men take advantages of this fact, knowing that their spouse will forgive them again and again when they get caught. All they have to do is say sorry.

They can’t resist sex; almost all men can’t resist sex, and when the opportunity comes, they just fall.

They can’t commit; somemenfind it difficult to stay in a relationship with only one person, maybe because of what has happened to them in the past, and they don’t want to have their heart broken again, but they just cant.

It’s challenging and exciting
If you consider the women you sleep with “sexual trophies,” chances are you have already cheated at least once in your life. Some men simply cannot leave behind the thrill of the hunt, the chase and the conquest. For other men, the excitement is in the variety, like changing ice cream flavors for one day after years of sticking to just one.

You can get away with it
“What eyes don’t see, the heart doesn’t feel,” goes the old adage, and it still holds true, as long as there are no cameras around. The knowledge that no one will find out and no one will get hurt is reason enough for some men to grab a different helping. But be careful; as men get craftier with avoiding detection, women get more sophisticated with detecting, not to mention boosting their network of spies.

Distance
If your relationship is not working well and distance has cropped up between the two of you, then it is likely a reason for a man to cheat. Your man can find another woman who seems to be more interesting and shares common interests.

Nagging Partner
If you are argumentative or a big criticizer and criticize on your man every moment, then there are chances that your man would look out for a better option and cheat on you.

Unrepentant
If you have forgiven your man in the past for cheating on you, then he might develop the tendency of cheating again because they would know if they plead, you are likely to forgive him.

Adventure
Men keep looking for changes. They always want to try something that is new and would give them a thrill. If they find an attractive woman, they might give a try and cheat on you.

Friend Factor
Men cheat because of peer pressure, some friends go as far as arranging girls for their friends even when they know their partners.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:::::

2012-08-18T14:15:00.002-07:00

If you are to tattoo a nameon your body, whose name would you put?

COSMIC RAY

2012-08-17T13:44:00.000-07:00

A ray of radiation of extraterrestrial origin, consisting of one or more charged particles such as protons, alpha particles, and larger atomic nuclei. Cosmic rays entering the atmosphere collide with atoms, producing secondary radiation, such as pions, muons, electrons, and gamma rays. Cosmic rays (and secondary radiation) can be easily seen in a cloud chamber.

The reigning explanation for cosmic rays has been that protons and other particles are accelerated by the leftovers of supernovas – the powerful explosions that occur when huge stars die. But new observations from Italy's space-based PAMELA cosmic ray detector appear to contradict that scenario and have researchers digging for a new explanation.

Cosmic rays are particles that hit Earth and come from outer space. Most of these particles are protons, some are the insides of helium (alpha particles), some are electrons (beta particles), gamma rays or photons and a tiny fraction are even heavier particles.
Some of these particles come from things that happen in the Sun and some come from all the way from unknown events in the farthest away parts of the universe. Cosmic rays can have as much energy as 10²⁰ eV, far higher than the 10¹² to 10¹³ eV that man-made particle accelerators can produce.
When cosmic ray particles enter the Earth's atmosphere they hit other particles, particles like oxygen and nitrogen. they then split apart into a shower of lighter particles, a so-called air shower.
The number of particles made in an air shower event can reach billions. All of the particles in the shower stay within about one degree of the first particle's path. Lots of different particles are made in collisions like this but lots of the time there are charged mesons (e.g. positive and negative pions and kaons). Cosmic rays are also the reason for the why we usually have a number of unstable isotopes in the Earth that does not change much even though those isotopes break into other elements. a good example is carbon-14, we always have the same number of carbon 14 particles because some cosmic rays react with elements like carbon-14 and make them unstable.

COSMIC RAY RUMOUR; WHY FEAR?

2012-08-16T00:59:00.000-07:00


cosmic rays

The news was all over Nigeria that "all phones should be switched off and kept yards away between 12.30am and 3.30am because cosmic rays will enter into the earth from mars"
Someone somewhere who is so jobless and idle just decided to originate a very stupid and fake rumour which the Blackberry Messanger helped in spreading like wild fire, the person must be somewhere now satisfied he has succeded in fooling and putting fear in Nigerians who allowed themselves to be fooled.

Am the last person that would believe in such, infact, i kept my phones on my body and i was awake and chatting till around 2.00am. There was no sign of Muka ray, Lasun ray or even Baba ray(lol). Am sure they wereheld up in the almighty Lagos traffic as a result of the closure of third mainland bridge.

Why are we allowing the fear of little things kill our faith, wisdom and even literacy?
I was not afraid not because am a witch but because it was nothing but a LIE.

Where is our wisdom? Why would something that has to do with life and of such magnitude originate from BBM and our local media will not broadcast it as a breaking news?
And again, why is it just Nigeria the news is getting too?

There are a total of 366 FEAR NOT in the bible, take each one for each day.

If these RUMOURS wont stop, the FEAR has to stop.

Watch out for the next update has it will be on "COSMIC RAYS"

Thanks.

GOT SHORTY

2012-08-14T15:53:00.000-07:00

Short pants, short shirts, short skirts and short shorts. If you are going o spend the whole day pulling down your short skirts and pant; why go for it in the first instance? When it makes you look uncomfortable and messy. Nothing screams “I lack brains and substance” like a pair of short riding g up your rear.

Short shirts are another problem, if you can see your belly; your shirt is too small.

If your shirt rides up and won’t stay in place, it’s too short and too small.

The most annoying part of this is that ladies that have big belly plus stretch marks now go for cropped tops. All these have got to stop!

ACCESSORY OVERLOAD

2012-08-14T14:57:00.000-07:00

Chandelier/dropping earrings with a bogus neck piece worn together with an out- of –this- world bangle that could break a wrist (LOL), and a very big fashion ring doesn’t just look nice, it rather looks messy.

Gorgeous outfits are often ruined by being over done by accessories. Jewelries and accessories should serve to accompany an outfit, to add a small note or touch

Too much accessories overwhelm an outfit and under whelm an overall look.

If you think it’s a show of affluence, am so sorry to tell you that you are out rightly wrong. It’s not until you overdo things before you get noticed. “Abeg keep it simple o”

Ladies who always try hard to look expensive and sophisticated should please take note.

RED ALERT!! DO NOT PUT ON RED TODAY

2012-08-09T00:29:00.000-07:00

They have started with their rumour that only God knows where it originates from oo

I got a broadcast message on my blackberry that reads "It was just passed across that we should not put on red dress tommorrow or anything that contains red, either shoes, shirt, trousers, pant, skirt, glasses. They will not use our blood to redeem Nigeria. Information is from the Redemption camp, please rebroadcast this to save others"

It seems somepeople somewhere derive great pleasure or even cash from starting rumour and the most alarming thing is that they use prominent and famous people or organisations just for people to believe.

I am more than 100% sure this is not coming from the alleged source. If Pastor E.A. Adeboye has any information that is of importance to the well bieng of the nation< he would have called a press conference.

Am not discouraging anybody from believing o, but as for me there is absolutely no IOTA OF TRUTH on this until i hear it from him.

And please, dont forget not to put on RED (LOL)

ORANGE POISONING RUMOUR

Serena became tennis’ first double gold medalist at an Olympics since Venus won singles and doubles at the 2000 Sydney Games.

Go Ladies, the sky is your starting point.

I Love my Hair style says olympics gymnastics all-round champion

2012-08-05T16:35:00.000-07:00

16-year-old Women’s gymnastics all-around champion Gabby Douglas likes her hairstyle just fine, thanks.

She said she was a little confused when she logged onto her computer after winning her second gold medal in three days and discovered people were debating her pulled-back look.

“I don’t know where this is coming from. What’s wrong with my hair?” said Douglas, the first U.S. gymnast to win gold in team and all-around competition. “I’m like, `I just made history and people are focused on my hair?’ It can be bald or short, it doesn’t matter about (my) hair.”
Douglas uses gel, clips and a ponytail holder to keep things in place while she competes, a style she’s worn for years.

Known as “The Flying Squirrel,” Douglas won the women’s all-around title Thursday night, becoming the third straight American to win gymnastics’ biggest prize. It’s her second gold medal of the London Games, coming two nights after she and her “Fierce Five” teammates gave the United States its first Olympic title since 1996.

UNBEATABLE USAIN BOLT

2012-08-05T15:52:00.000-07:00

UsaUsain Bolt retained the Olympic 100m title by winning the greatest race in Olympic history.

The Lightning Bolt crossed the line in 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record and the second-fastest time ever, after his own world record of 9.58.

Blake had been unbeaten all year and was regarded as the favourite by many experts, but Bolt, always the man for the big occasion, saved his best for when it mattered, to the obvious delight of the 80,000-strong crowd at the Olympic Stadium, who rose to their feet in unison as he crossed the line.

The bronze medal was taken by Justin Gatlin, the champion of 2004.

All Hail the Fastest Man!!!

THE SECOND SKIN

2012-08-05T14:26:00.000-07:00

When I see ladies in skin hugging dresses, top or whatever clinging to their body like a second skin, I freeze out and silently say "God have mercy" I cant imagine squeezing myself into a tight dress , I bet I will suffocatebefore getting to my destination.(Seriously!)

Clothing should not be a second skin! If your panties can be seen through your pants, its time to go up a size. If your belly hangs over your belt, you might consider looking into a double digits size rather than trying to fit into a size 8 jeans.

You would not want to be in a skin-tight clothing with breasts squeezed together like sardine in an ill-fitting bra, back fat oozing out from undeneath the armpit.

"Simple and fit is the rule, which is timeless"

Seeing every nook and cranny through a crocheted mesh dress isn't sexy, it's simply poor taste.

FASHION FAUX PAS

2012-08-05T10:55:00.000-07:00

women commit some avoidable annoying fashion faux pas( i would rather call it fashion stupidity) in a bid to look attractive and flow with the trend.
They over look these errors because they want to impress at all cost but rather end up getting it all wrong thereby receiving criticism istead of compliments.
we will look at one of the fashion fuax pas here and discuss others in subsequent update

MATCHING GAME

pink top, pink belt, pink accesories, pink shoes, pink bag, down to pink lips and even nails.... What!!! are you going for an halloween party or a carnival of some sort? I should actually think you are going for a "color matching competition" LOL

Growup girlfriend, its not fashionable again as it is considered a passe. Keep your look clean, polished and simple. You wouldnt want to look like you tried so very hard and stressed yourself picking and matching your outfit.

You are not BARBIE for crying out loud. Its not until you do "colour matching" before you get heads turning with your look.
Ignorance is not an excuse in the court of law. If you didnt know, now you know. So dont be caught dead in this childish look.

........ To be continued, keep your fingers crossed!

COPING WITH LOSS OF A LOVED ONE

2012-07-22T15:17:00.000-07:00

If you have ever lost a very close person, you would agree with me that it could be a very devastating and shattering experience if not handled properly.
Some people go into depression or even end up in the hospital due to pychological trauma, shock and other related effects. death could occur in a very severe case.

Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away.
there are no right or wrong ways to grief, but, there are healthy ways to cope with the pain that, in time, can renew you and permit you to move on.

ways to cope.........

Let yourself feel the pain and all the other emotions, too. Don't tell yourself how to

feel or let others tell you how you should feel.

Be patient with the process. Don't pressure yourself with expectations. Accept that

you need to experience your pain, your emotions, and your own way of healing -- all
in your own time.

Express your feelings. Let yourself cry. Both are needed for healing.

· Get support. Talk about your loss, your memories, and your experience of the life and
death of your loved one.

· Try to maintain your normal lifestyle.

Take care of yourself. Eat well and exercise. Physical activity is a good way to

release tension.

Avoid drinking too much alcohol or using other drugs. This can harm your body as

well as dull your emotions. It is likely to slow your recovery and may cause new
problems.

Forgive yourself for all the things you did or didn't say or do. Compassion and

forgiveness for yourself and others is important in healing.

Give yourself a break from grief. You must work through grief, but you do not need

to focus on it all the time. It is healthy to find distractions like going to a movie,
dinner, or a ball game; reading a good book; listening to music; or getting a massage
or manicure.

Write a letter to the person who died to say everything you wish you could say to

them.
.always remind yourself that the person has gone to be in a better place.

Quote on grief....

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.” ― Anne Lamott

LIKING WHO YOU ARE

2012-07-13T20:03:00.001-07:00

"You are what you choose to see yourself as, and not what and who people say you are"

my experience.......

I grew up with the awareness that my eye balls were not the same size with other people's eyeballs. Mine was way more bigger and because of this, some of my friends made fun of me (as you would expect). It made them feel good but since I was the one at the recieving end, i always felt very bad and always wished I had a different appearance.

"The first step to being happy is accepting yourself for who you are and loving yourself"

looking inside the mirror one beautiful morning when i was in my senior year, i said to myself: Moyo, you were beautifully and wounderfully made, you are God's own image so why listen to what the world says?

it applies to you.........

We are in a world where people will always condemn, make fun of you and never see or say anything good about you........from your size, to your height....... from the shape of your nose to as little as your dentition.
They will not stop their ranting(yes! that is what i see it has) until the day you stary loving yourself as a perfect creation of God.

You dont have to stress yourself arguing with them, you dont have to shut them up before they will stop ranting because the moment you are able to show them you are happy being you they will have nothing to rant about again.

Dont ever go out of our way to please anyone, if you go out of your way and do something stupid, they will be same set of people to rant.

"Anyone who deserves you will like you for wwho you are"

YABATECH STUDENTS VS LASTMA

2012-07-13T01:48:00.001-07:00

Some youths suspected to be students of Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, allegedly abducted a Lagos State Traffic Management Authority official and injured three others on Thursday because the traffic officials reportedly accosted them for using the lane designated for Bus Rapid Transit on Wednesday.

The students were said to have also gone to LASTMA Zone 15 Office, Iponri, and vandalised four impounded vehicles in the office.

“On Wednesday afternoon, an unregistered Mazda bus with the inscription ‘Yaba College of Technology Students’ Union’ was seen using the BRT lane around Post Office, Oyingbo. The vehicle had eight occupants including one Ademola Adesola, the union’s leader.

“The students became unruly and refused to cooperate with the LASTMA officials headed by Mr. Kayode Odunuga. So, anti-robbery policemen attached to Denton Police Division immediately rushed to the scene.

“After the police intervened, the students then cooperated and the vehicle was taken down to LASTMA Zone 15 office at Iponri. On getting there, the students were made to sign an undertaking which must be typed on a Yabatech letter-head paper. Adesola said he did not have an original but a photocopy of a letter-head paper. Based on compassionate grounds, we accepted it and they were allowed to go.

“On Thursday, however, the students suddenly abducted a LASTMA official, Mr. Obasanmi Oladimeji, who was on duty at Jibowu area. The students then went down to Zone 15 office with two buses; one commercial bus and the red Mazda bus which they used on Wednesday. The students vandalised four impounded vehicles which were on the premises.”

One of the vandalised vehicles

The incident was said to have caused a traffic snarl at Jibowu as on-lookers ran helter skelter.

“When the students sighted policemen, they immediately took to their heels but luckily we caught one Joshua Toba, a 27-year-old man. Joshua claimed that he was not a student but an electrician who had been urged by the students to accompany them on a ‘peace mission,’” she said.

The students were said to have gone down to the LASTMA office, Oshodi where they also allegedly staged a protest before fleeing.

All about Love

2012-07-12T16:55:00.000-07:00

What is love?
It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper definition of love. To some Love is friendship set on fire for others Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. No matter how you define it or feel it, love is the eternal truth in the history of mankind.

Love is patient, love is kind. It has no envy, nor it boasts itself and it is never proud. It rejoices over the evil and is the truth seeker. Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. Always stand steadfast in love, not fall into it. It is like the dream of your matter of affection coming true. Love can occur between two or more individuals. It bonds them and connects them in a unified link of trust, intimacy and interdependence. It enhances the relationship and comforts the soul. Love should be experienced and not just felt. The depth of love can not be measured. Look at the relationship between a mother and a child. The mother loves the child unconditionally and it can not be measured at all. A different dimension can be attained between any relationships with the magic of love. Love can be created. You just need to focus on the goodness of the other person. If this can be done easily, then you can also love easily. And remember we all have some positive aspect in us, no matter how bad our deeds maybe. And as God said Love all

And remember this...never say I love you, if you don't really care...never talk about feelings, if they aren't really there...never touch a life, if you mean to break a heart...never say you're going to, if you don't plan to start...never look me in they eye, when all you do is lie...never say hello, if you really mean good-bye."
