CHIBOKGIRLS-NOT YET UHURU!

 
My dear country is too full of drama for anyone to keep up momentum, not even the media. That is is the main reason fights, protests, demands and queries are not answered. At a point, the press wasnt free and people could only complain about perceived wrong doings by the government. Others said no, Nigerians are too self loving, they can not be seen to hold the government accountable.

From the balcony of Stewart Angus’ office overlooking Dubai International Airport it isn’t obvious why Dubai has become one of the world’s most important cities in aviation–and a dangerous rival to many of Asia’s premier airports and carriers. Sure, there’s the big, six-year-old terminal dedicated to Emirates Airlines. An Airbus A380 taxis to the gate. Cars speed along a highway while the city’s ever soaring skyline stretches in the distance.

Solange/Jay z Saga: Contrary to popular opinion 50 Cents speaks.

By nidhi tewari 

 

Beyonce was highly criticized recently when she did nothing to defend her husband Jay Z at the time her younger sister Solange attacked him after the MET Gala event. However, now rapper 50 Cent has come to the defence of Queen Bey saying she is in fact quite protective and fierce when it comes to Jay Z.

During a recent interview with New York radio station Power 105.1, the "In Da Club" rapper said he got to see Beyonce's fierce temper in a Las Vegas club once when she thought he had not behaved respectfully towards her husband Jay Z. Beyonce was quite the opposite of what her fans had recently seen in the leaked hotel video. She confronted 50 Cent and stood by her man then.
"One time (Beyonce) jumped off of a ledge and came running over 'cause she thought me and Jay had issues (sic). And I'm like, 'What the f---? Did she really just jump and run up on me like that?," the rapper said during the radio interviews, according to torontosun.com.

"We was (sic) at the Cosmopolitan. She jumped out and was like this (in his face like), 'What?! That Bonnie and Clyde for real! You try this or what, boy (sic)?! I'm here!' She bugged (flipped) out at me," the rapper recalled adding that Jay Z was quite impressed with Beyonce's impromptu act.
" I looked and Jay starts laughing. He's like, 'Yo, you know what it is.' I said, 'Oh s---! What the f--- y'all got going on, man?' Bey jumped down off of that joint like, 'What?! Wassup (sic)?!," the rapper added, according to the Web site.
This incident is just quite opposite of Beyonce's reaction that was captured in the lift video when Solange, Beyonce and Jay Z were leaving for the MET Gala after party. Solange was seen kicking Beyonce's husband Jay Z with fists and legs but Beyonce maintained a cool composure. She was even made the subject of various jokes and memes at that time, which can be checked here.
"Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred," the family said in a statement after the controversial incident. "They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."

LOOKING FOR THE REAL SECRET TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE?

It seems love really is blind – and that’s a good thing if you want your relationship to last.
 
Psychologists say the secret of a good marriage is being convinced that your spouse is more attractive than they really are.
Dr Viren Swami, of the University of Westminster in London, said: ‘When you are in love you idealise the people you love. You rate your partner as more attractive.’
He added that people in love also tend to think their partner is better looking than themselves.

4 STI Myths That Get in the Way of a Healthy Sex Life

Safer sex–comprehensive safer sex, that is–includes more than just using barriers consistently and correctly. You also need to talk about risk in advance of any sexual activity...
That’s where most people get stuck. As soon as someone utters the letters S-T-I (short for sexually transmitted infection) in sequence, people run for the hills. It can be especially daunting to bring up STIs with someone you don’t know very well. And even if you’ve known the person for forever, that conversation can still be awkward.
 
Whatever the scenario, having this conversation is crucial, so don’t let these 4 common misconceptions get in the way of your healthy sex life.

In a bid to add their voices to the call for the release of hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents in Chobok, Borno State, some Nollywood stars led by Patience Ozokwor, popularly called Mama G, on Thursday staged a rally in Lagos, western Nigeria.
NAN reports that the actors, which included Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, Ejiro Okurame, Mercy Aigbe, Femi Ogedengbe, Thelma Okaz and Tony Akposhere, marched from Allen Avenue to Alausa Secretariat soliciting for the release of the abducted school girls.

A New Jersey man foiled a robbery at his home thanks to surveillance cameras and free app on his smartphone that alerted him to the break-in and allowed him to yell at the startled burglar through the cameras' speakers.

Nisarg Swaminarayan, 29, was eating dinner near his Parlin, N.J., home with relatives this weekend when he says his Dropcam security system sent an alert to his smartphone, telling him the sliding door of his home had been opened.
