My I-fone 7 Story

These days, some things can make you stand out as a 'correct guy' or leave you in the rank of "that guy is just there". It's generally the desire of any young, upcoming man to belong to the cadre of the 'correct guys'. I am no exception. When your friends hail you as a "Big boy" it doesn't matter if all you have in your wallet is just N50, you shake your head and tell them to stop like you're humble or you could just smile and say "baba, me that I'm loyal to your government, I'm just your boy". But everyone wants to be a "Big boy". I am no exception. When the i-fone 7 was released late last year, a friend bought his for a Hundred and Forty-five Thousand Naira (N145,000). I knew the money was much, I mean, I could rent a flat in Mowe with that amount (lol), but who doesn't want to be a big boy? I was so excited by the upgrade in class associated with owning the phone that I decided to reduce my eating at...

How To Tell If You're Compatible. - Men's Health

Forget your eerily similar workout playlists: New research suggests that there's a better way to determine if you're soul mates, and it has to do with the way you speak. People who use the same function words—like pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and quantifiers—are more likely to couple up and stay together, according to a new study published in the journalPsychological Science. Researchers at Texas Tech University had a hunch that speech was related to romance (dirty talk aside), so they conducted two studies on language style matching (LSM). LSM measures how much two people in a conversation subtly match each other's speaking or writing style, focusing on words like "I," "she," "those," "in," "about," "tons," "never," "very," "quite," "while," "because," and "can," among others. And even though we hardly ever realize we're saying words like the...

SHEHU SHAGARI THROWS A BOMBSHELL AT BUHARI: QUIT NOW

FULL TEXT OF LETTER FROM ALHAJI SHEHU SHAGARI TO BUHARI My brother, you have contested the Presidential elections 3 times in this country and in all these times,youhave never asked me or my people at Shagari village to support your bid. It is very obvious why you can’t do that. You don’t have the courage after what you did to me. You truncated democracy with a dastardly coup and took away power from me. You humiliated me and made me to suffer, and you took away my opportunity to RULE Nigeria. You said you do not want democracy in Nigeria.. The same democracy you truncated, you are fighting hard to get with desperation and diabolical power. You have entered into unholy alliance with some known elements of disunity in the south but let me warn you. You will suffer hard in the hands of Tinubu and his political merchants who will use and dump you as they did to Nuhu. In 2011, you cried publicly when you lost election, and you made provocative and inciting statements that plunged this coun...

8 Things That Will Heal A Broken Heart

Breaking up is never fun. The end of a relationship means the beginning of a period of mourning and healing for both people. If the break up was mutual both people will experience a period of adjustment where they are getting used to no longer being together. If the break up was not mutual the person who ended things may be dealing with guilt and feelings that they may have made a mistake. The person being broken up with will definitely have to adjust, first to being rejected and second to life without somebody they still care for. How do you get through those first few weeks? Here we list eight essential things everybody must do in the early days of a break up to let the healing begin. 1. Avoid the former love.Yes, avoid. No, this isn’t being immature. Seeing your former flame can bring out emotions and may cause you do to or say something you will regret. In the first few weeks the best thing you can do for yourself is not be where you know they will be. 2. Talk out your feelings wit...
