12 Reasons Why the Good Guys are Still Single | Must Read!

 

Based on feedback from the show’s fan base, the most recent broadcast entitled “The Top Twelve Reasons Why So Many Good Black Men Are Still Single” put forth the following list as the reasons why so many good black men are still unhappily single:

1. They keep meeting women with unrealistic expectations for what they want in a man.
2. They keep meeting women who put them in the wrong category by writing them off too quickly as not being “their type”.
3. They’re not wanted because they’re not needed. Too many women have told them that they don’t “need” a man.

5 Things You Should Never Do To Your Partner

Have you ever reasoned out that our actions, little as it could be or seem sometimes, could actually be our greatest undoing and the cause for everlasting regret?
Do you aspire to live happily ever after with that Romeo or Julliet of yours?

Here are five (5) things you never should do to your partner to enjoy a blissful and peaceful marital sojourn.

Comparing Your Partner With Someone Else

It is never a good or brilliant idea to compare your partner with another person. Whether for fun sake, complimentary sake, derisory sake or spiteful sake, it doesn't always go down well with the significant other and it doesn't end well as well, too. If anything, it creates an impression of your partner being inadequate and it's nothing but a recipe for emotional demarcation and a drifting connection. Just so you know, a negative comparison with your ex (probably how he buys you islands, jets, Egyptian hair, Mexican shirts or how sweet her voice is, etc) is simply a good way to worsen your relationship; and next time you experience such urge, bite your tongue (real hard) for 10 seconds.

World Cup security beefed up with robots, drones and tanks, but focus is riots not terrorists

American bomb-busting robots. Israeli surveillance drones. German anti-aircraft tanks.

Those are just a few pieces of the security array in place around Brazil to protect players and fans at the planet’s most-watched sporting event – soccer’s FIFA World Cup – against threats both foreign and domestic. But unlike recent competitions like the Olympics in Sochi, Russia, or the Boston Marathon, authorities are much more focused on the fans, crooks and citizens angry about the cost of the games than terrorists.

There is good reason for their unease: The hundreds of thousands of foreign fans attending the games that begin Thursday -- including nearly 100,000 Americans -- will be parachuting into a country beset by widespread and deadly political unrest that at its height drew 1 million people to the streets last year, a murder rate that is among the highest in the world and a growing drug-trafficking problem. 

‘Why I insist Chibok school girls kidnap is a Scam’ – Asari Dokubo

Asari Dokubo has been a very strong voice of opposition regarding the kidnap of Chibok school girls.He has said it’s a scam..When asked by Vanguard why he thinks so even with the international community stepping in ..he said
Cuts in) which international community?

The United States of America with her allies Britain and the European Union cajoled the whole world and told us that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
At the end of the day, were there weapons of mass destruction? There was none. So the international community for whatever intent and purpose that is compelling them to do what they are doing is best known to them. But it will not be far from economic interest. How can you believe that 270 girls will be taken? How? It is not possible. If you tell us that 20 girls were taken, 30, maybe 50, fine.

Tension In Kano Over Rumors President Jonathan Has Reversed Sanusi’s Appointment As Emir

Kano Crowd last night awaiting nullification of Sanusi Lamido's appointment by President Goodluck Jonathan

There was an atmosphere of tension today in the ancient city of Kano as rumors spread that President Goodluck Jonathan has decided to arrest newly installed Emir Of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, thus effectively reversing the decision of Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso who picked Sanusi for the throne.

A section of Kano indigenes who are displeased by the governor’s decision went wild with jubilation tonight as rumors spread through the city that Mr. Jonathan had finalized plans to remove the new traditional ruler and detain him. Mr. Sanusi, the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, is deemed as a political foe of President Jonathan. The two men disagreed over whether billions of dollars in oil export earnings had been stolen. Mr. Jonathan suspended Mr. Sanusi from the CBN after the nation’s banker accused officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) of failing to deposit oil revenues worth more than $20 billion in the Central Bank.

500,000 Iraqi civilians flee Mosul fighting, migration group says

 

More than 500,000 citizens fled in fear as extremist militants overran Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, the International Organization for Migration said Wednesday.

The group, whose teams have been monitoring the plight of those caught in the onslaught, said the violence had resulted in "a high number of casualties among civilians."

The northern city's four main hospitals are inaccessible because of fighting, and some mosques have been converted for use as clinics, the IOM said.

Those fleeing the fighting, in vehicles or on foot, some bringing only what they can carry in plastic bags, are heading to the city's east or seeking sanctuary elsewhere in Nineveh province or in Iraq's Kurdish region.

Top 10 female fantasies revealed

 

Women wonder what it would be like to be in a man’s shoes. Or more precisely put, they wonder what it would be like to be in a man’s boxers. They dream about stories where they could wear his long trench coat and a cap with nothing inside and take the man in the front or back. 

The sweet damsels are more on the dreamy and romantic side of things, but they do have their own share of sexual fantasies for women.
And quite surprisingly, the top female fantasies are not very different from what men want in bed.
If men and women share similar interests in sexual fantasies, why do we really have to hide it and pretend like we’re all clean as a whistle.
After asking a lot of women, and of course, through my own personal experience, here are the top ten sexual fantasies for women.
Women may say what they want, but most women at least indulge in a few of these fantasies, if not all.
I’m really confused about a lesbian fantasy which many girls think is a hot one, but a few others were totally against it. But what the hell, I like it, so here goes the top fantasies for women.

Revealed: The Real Reason Why Sanusi Has Not Yet Gained Access To The #Emir's Palac

The new Emir of Kano is said to be operating outside of the palace due to certain normal arrangements which often precedes the grand entry of any Emir into the palace.

According to PREMIUM TIMES report, a source familiar with the workings of the emirate council disclosed that it took sometime for most of the emirs in the past, including the immediate past, Ado Bayero who died last week, before they went into the palace.

The source said, "Traditionally, a new emir does not even go into the palace through the front door. Rather, he chooses within the wall of the palace a specific location in which he wants to use to enter the palace. That portion of the wall is then opened for him to enter.

"If you notice towards the western end, along Yola road, you will see an opening that is covered with concrete block, that was the door Ado Bayero used when he was appointed as emir."

The injured persons where rushed to the Vom Christian Hospital. Normalcy has been restored in the attacked areas and members of the public are advised to go about their lawful business and report any unscrupulous elements to the security agencies" he said.

Signs that your relationship is ‘dead & gone’

 

Read the warning signs to find out whether your relationship has a future or not. 1. Sex is the only thing you connect on You are lucky to be having great sex and crackling chemistry. But if what happens after the clothes come off is the only thing you have in common with your man, the liaison may be missing an important factor of all relationships – a deep level of intimacy. 2. The future is not a priority for him He wants to live in the moment and avoids talking about the future. Making plans for the future is a sign of commitment. Relationship gurus say this attitude translates into what could only be a short-term affair. 3. He doesn’t take time out for you He puts his work, friends and family first, postpones or turns up terribly late for dates, doesn’t return missed calls, and almost never replies to your ‘I miss you’ messages. A relationship needs nourishment through affection and ‘we time’. However, if you are not a priority for him, it could lead to disenchantment and resentment. If he spends more time partying till late morning with his respective friends alone than hanging out with you, it’s a sure sign that your little liaison is going nowhere. 4. You don’t have a life of your own You are always waiting around for his attention. You have stopped going for lunch or shopping sprees with your own friends, and are more interested in his hobbies than yours. This makes you come across as a needy person. Guys are attracted to women who are confident in their own skin and have full, busy lives. Don’t be unavailable to him, but give him some incentive to get serious about you. 5. You steer clear of fights It’s okay to be polite but arguments and fights are actually healthy for a relationship to prosper. Your connection won’t get real unless you express your true feelings and discuss the issues that are bothering you. You’re afraid to scare him off the romantic association, so you try to give him the impression that you are okay with his every lapse. It puts him in an undue position of power that he may not deserve. Be true to yourself and come clean. If he doesn’t want to change his stance and calls it off, you didn’t have much to lose anyway.

Messi is already a legend without winning the World Cup – Ronaldo

 

Brazil legend Ronaldo, has insisted that Lionel Messi is already a football legend, despite the fact the Argentina captain has never won the World Cup.

The Barcelona forward has already won four Ballon d’Or prizes and every club honour with the La Liga side and has been hailed as one of the greatest players of all time.
However, some critics feel that the 26-year-old needs to achieve international success with Argentina, before he can claim his place among the real greats of football – a fact that Ronaldo disagrees with.
“He can win that [the World Cup]. He has not retired yet, has he? And he is only 26,” Ronaldo told The Times of India.    continue.....

Buhari writes Sanusi on terrorism

 

A former Head of State, who is also a national leader of the All Progressives Party, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) on Monday wrote the new Emir of Kano, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, asking the monarch to support the Federal Government’s war against terrorism in the country.

Buhari, in a congratulatory letter he personally signed and a copy of which was made available to newsmen in Kaduna, urged the new emir to bring to bear his wealth of experience in assisting the economic revival of the state and the country as a whole.

The former military leader, who was also a presidential candidate of the defunct Congress of Progressive Change in the 2011 presidential election, reminded the former CBN boss to fear God and to treat the people of Kano with justice and fairness, saying his choice as the emir was purely an act of God.

Buhari said, “You should cultivate all and exclude none. After attending the burial of the late emir, Alhaji Ado Bayero, I am renewing my condolences to the new emir, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and the people of Kano and the country on the death of Alhaji Ado Bayero.

“I am forwarding my congratulations to you for assuming the office of emir of this historic land, a position once occupied by great historical figures such as Muhammadu Rumfa, Ibrahim Dabo, Abdullahi Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi. I hope you will be a worthy successor to those great men.”
