Read This Before You Start Living With A Man …

Before you start living with a man for any reason at all – marriage, cohabitation, roomies, pregnancy, friendship, whatever, there are a few things you should consider first:

1.  Will he finish a bottle of syrup in one week and make you buy a new one?
2.  Will he eat your sugar cookies?
3.  Will he steal the $31 you made from dancing at a Nigerian party while shaking what your mama gave you?
4.  Will he eat half his pasta and finish all the meatballs nonetheless?
5.  Will he pout when he's hungry?
6.  Will he use up all the strawberry spread in a couple of uses?
7.  Will he always leave his side of the bed and somehow end up sleeping on you – literally?
8.  Will he pour half the bottle of ketchup on the fries you're both supposed to share?
9.  Will he always turn the TV on in the bedroom, leave it on ESPN or Fox Sports, turn it up loud, and then go sit in the living room to watch the same channel?
10.  Will he always need to be served in a tray because he cannot eat in a plate without half the food ending up on the floor?
11.  Will he – during the winter – always complain of cold and set the thermostat to 88 degrees Fahrenheit in the house and make it impossible for you to blink without sweating? There are summer days that are cooler than the house.
12.  Will he steal four inches out of your side of the closet?
13.  Will he always complain of not finding something, although the something is literally right in front of him? Advil. Bread. Chicken.
14.  Will he go into the laundry basket and pull out his favorite shorts, even though you have thrown it in there for a reason: it's due to be washed?
15.  Will he constantly put his gym bag on the bed, even after constant yelling and reprimanding from you?
16.  Will he complain of being hungry, refuse everything you offer, and then, also refuse to come up with an alternative?
17.  Will he steal your Smirnoff?
18.  Will he continuously stare at himself in the mirror?
19.  Will he chance you in the bathroom and jump into the shower before you because he knows you still have to brush your teeth, wash your face, and wash your underwear?
20.  Will he fall asleep in the middle of every single movie, and then make you pay extra for the additional rental days?
These are very important questions that you should ask. Thank me later.




















FG To Barn Importation Of Vegetable Oil

Edible oil processors in Bauchi State have cried out against unfair competition with imported products and called on the Federal Government to ban the importation of vegetable oil into the country.

The Deputy Chairman of Oil Processors Cooperative Society in the State, Alhaji Ahmed Abdullahi, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Bauchi.

He said that their products could not compete favourably with similar ones imported into the country, thereby, hindering the expansion of their enterprise.

"Prices of imported products are lower than ours because the foreign companies have the technological advantage and the economies of large scale production.

"No matter how hard we try, we cannot compete with them and they have almost taken over the market," he said.

Abdullahi said there were 18 persons engaged in edible oil processing business in the state with over 200 youths employed by them, but that sometimes business had to be suspended because of numerous challenges.

He further said that apart from the youths engaged by his members in Bauchi, no fewer than 500 women earned a living from the by-products of their oil.

According to him, such women buy the waste product and use same in producing local soap called 'jangabo' and 'soda.'

"Apart from the unfair competition with foreign companies, those of us operating at small and medium scale levels also grapple with a second challenge from large scale producers within the country.

"We cannot compete with them in the procurement of raw materials, especially soya beans and groundnut. This is particularly worrisome in times of scarcity of such inputs.

"Such big companies buy the inputs in bulk because they have the storage facilities. Not only that, they also make juicy price offers which we cannot afford.

"This situation occurs mostly from February to July of every year when the inputs are scarce. Some of us are often forced to suspend production and temporarily lay off our staff," he added.

He appealed to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture to reserve some of its silos spread across the states for the storage of groundnuts and soya beans.

Abdullahi said the ministry should sell the silos to small and medium scale edible oil processors at affordable prices in times of scarcity.

Baby Cupid

Dawn is the beginning of a new day;
Early morning mist patched my way;
Ushered me to a fascinating experience;
Of an enchanting view of a great influence;
 
 
Roman God of love has shot an arrow;
This augurs a brighter tomorrow;
For everyone to live in love;
Lets give our heart to love;
 
 
You are a disguise of baby cupid;
I'm a replica of baby cupid;
Thou art worthy to be loved;
Radiate love,cos you are a baby cupid.

Her sister, Serena, who has just clinched the WTA title which just ended in Istanbul, Turkey, arrived in Lagos at 9pm local time, on Tuesday.

From the airport, Venus was led straight to a waiting convoy of vehicles and driven to Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island where another group of Journalists had also assembled to receive the tennis queen.

“Superstorm Sandy” Ripples of Hurricane may hit Lagos within 7 to 14 days – Commissioner

Hurricane Sandy is a 2012 late-season violent tropical storm that has affected Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the eastern seaboard of the United States of America.

As the United States of America continues to struggle with the devastating effects of Superstorm Sandy, one of the worst hurricanes to ever descend on the country, the Lagos State Government has  warned residents of the state to prepare for the ripple effect of the hurricane in the state.

The Commissioner for Waterfront Development and Infrastructure, Mr. Adesegun Oniru told Punch that the government was projecting that within seven to 14 days, the state would experience the ripple effect of the hurricane in its coast lines.

He explained that the government based its projection on, "experience, records and study of past happenings" and had started taking precautionary measures.

"This warning is not to cause panic in Lagos, but to place us all on alert that if we notice anything unusual in our coast lines, we should not go near the waters but rather call government attention.

"This storm has hit the Caribbean and is now in USA. We always get a ripple effect of such happening in Lagos.

"This wind started in Africa, went west gathering more wind and later turning to hurricane. We expect a splash back effect. It could be on our coast lines and shore lines, it could be more than that. And it may not happen at all. Everybody must be vigilant. Let us be careful around our oceans and lagoons."

The Commissioner added that the government was planning to protect Kuramo, Oniru, Majidun, Alpha beach and other areas affected by the last ocean surge in the state.

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Ibirogba also urged the  state residents not to  panic, saying the alert was for them to know what to do to prepare for such occurence.

Meanwhile, in the USA, the death toll has reached 50 and damages in the country tops $20billion.

6million people without power, 13 dead as Superstorm Sandy sweeps through the US

Never befor has there been a storm like this in America. Over $15 billion in damages. At least 13 people killed. Homes destroyed. High-rise apartment buildings now islands. 6.5 million people in 13 states without power. Major airports in Northeast closed. Federal government offices closed. Three feet of heavy snow like concrete, storm surge 14 feet high, buildings on fire, transport in chaos. Mass transit system, schools, stock exchange, all shut down as Super Storm Sandy wrecks havoc in the US.

The New York City Subway System which is 108 years old has never faced a disaster as devastating as what was experienced last night. Atlantic City in New Jersey has become an extension of the Atlantic Ocean as water pressed into the city from three sides, flooding rail yards, subway tracks, tunnels and roads.

FG REOPENS THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE TODAY

The government had partially closed the bridge on July 7 to enable the contractor, Messrs Boroni Prono and Company Limited, to replace eight expansion joints on the bridge for a contract sum of N1bn.
The reopening of the bridge will come as a welcome relief to motorists and commuters, who have had to connect Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Lekki, Ajah and Epe from different parts of the mainland through Western Avenue due to restriction of vehicular movement on the bridge from 12 noon to 12am, while opening for movement to the mainland within the same time.

The Special Adviser to the Minister of Works on Media, Mr. Tony Ikpasaja, confirmed the reopening of the bridge in a telephone conversation with our correspondent on Monday.
According to him, the Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen, will open the rehabilitated bridge to motorists at a ceremony that will also have in attendance federal and Lagos State government officials and other stakeholders.

Onolememen had said during an inspection tour of the bridge on August 10, "The inspection visit is to track the progress that the contractor has made; whether actual progress is in line with our planned programme. I am happy to announce that the physical progress in not only in line with our programme, but there has been a gain of approximately one week, which is very commendable.
"It means that if we sustain the momentum, we will be able to deliver the project ahead of the scheduled delivery date of November 6, 2012."
He had explained that the Federal Government decided to rehabilitate the bridge, which is the longest and most travelled in the country, because of its commitment to giving due attention to infrastructure in Lagos State, which he said was attracting about 53 per cent of commercial activities in the country.
As parts of efforts to minimise the disruptions to free flow of traffic in the metropolis, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority had deployed 700 officers to the bridge and traffic points on the alternative routes.
Officers of the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Army, Federal Road Safety Corps and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps joined their LASTMA colleagues in managing the attendant traffic.

EPL ‘El Classico’: CHELSEA ACCUSES REF OF RACIALLY ABUSING MIKEL

Controversy: Referee Mark Clattenburg has just flashed the red card Ivanovic's way

Two questionable red cards and an offside goal helped Manchester United to their first win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League since 2002. After an entertaining first half that began with a David Luiz own goal in the fourth minute, a Robin van Persie goal to put Man United up 2-0 in the 12th minute and a brilliant Juan Mata free kick just before halftime to give Chelsea an injection of confidence, referee Mark Clattenburg made himself the star of the match after a Ramires goal equalized for Chelsea in the 53rd minute.

First, Clattenburg showed Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic a straight red when Ashley Young went down as he was breaking towards goal (gif here) in the 63rd minute. Just five minutes later, Clattenburg booked Fernando Torres for a second time for going down even though Jonny Evans caught Torres' shin with his boot. 


That got Torres sent off just as Chelsea were preparing to sub him out for Daniel Sturridge, leaving them with nine men and more than 20 minutes to play. And in the 75th minute, Chicharito scored Man United's inevitable winner from an offside position (top photo) after Petr Cech and the post kept out one attempt .

As much fun as it can be to make jokes about conspiracies, that wasn't what happened to Chelsea in this match. Mark Clattenburg has been making baffling and infuriatingly bad calls for years and has even drawn the ire of Alex Ferguson in the past. This time, they went against Chelsea.

Chelsea have filed an official complaint over "inappropriate language" from Clattenburg. Sky Sports quotes a Chelsea spokesman as saying:

"We have lodged a complaint to the Premier League match delegate with regards to inappropriate language used by the referee and directed at two of our players in two separate incidents in today's match.

"The match delegate will pass the complaint to the Football Association. We will make no further comment at this time."

A strange complaint for a strange match. What could Clattenburg have said?

According to the Guardian, the "inappropriate language" Clattenburg used was a racial slur against Chelsea midfielder Mikel John Obi. Prepare yourselves for another racial abuse controversy.

Have Some Damn Compassion- Toni Payne Tells K Solo

Toni Payne says K-solo shouldn't let the issues with his estranged wife affect his newly born child…

9ice's estranged wife Toni Payne has commented on the on-going controversy between producer-singer Solomon 'K-Solo' Oyeniyi and estranged wife Kikelomo.

And Payne who herself has suffered a bitter separation from singer 9ice, is not happy with him; describing the producer's actions as 'Immaturity and wickedness of the highest order'.

'No matter wot is going on between u and whomever. U never let it extend to an innocent child. Ksolo! FAK!!!! I would not wish my worst enemy go thru wot that lady is going tru immediately after giving birth. Shit! Have some damn compassion!', @ToniPayne tweeted.

K Solo has however opened up on the matter after much pressure from the public. He says Bimbo is his real wife and that he and that he has finally called it quits with Kike.

HOT GIST: Lola Alao replies Bisi Ibidapo-Obe over pregnancy scandal

Todays hot gist is centered on two Nollywood actresses, so just like a movie, sit-back, relax, read and enjoy.

In a recent interview with E24 magazine, pregnant actress Bisi Ibidapo Obe revealed that her colleague, Lola Alao introduced her to the man she claims is responsible for her pregnancy, ex Reps member, Dino Melaye, and she also alleged that Lola, after having introduced her to Dino, started dating the lawmaker.

Lola Alao however denied Bisi's claim. What she told City People below...

Bisi should leave me out of her pregnancy mess. How can an adult like her not know who impregnated her? Is Bisi a small girl, that I Lola, will now carry and give Hon Dino to date? It is sad that she has dragged him into this mess. Is she the first actor or actress that Dino will help? Why is she making a deal out of meeting Dino? Dino has been my friend for years and was even at my movie premiere several month back where he donated N10million. I wish to state categorically that I have never dated Dino, I am not dating him and can never date him because he's like a brother from another mother. It is quite unfortunate that Bisi is scandalizing Dino this way. Everything smacks of blackmail to me. Maybe she thinks since Dino donated N10million at my launch , she can scandalize him and make some money off him. I leave her to her conscience.

Good Times Are Here Again After "Collapsing" On The Pitch 7 Months Ago! Beautiful First Photo from Fabrice Muamba's Emotional Wedding

Fabrice Muamba enjoyed the wedding as it seemed he would never see after he lay ''dead'' on a football pitch.

Former Bolton Wanderers star Fabrice Muamba tied the knot with Shauna Magunda in an emotional ceremony watched by Premier League players such as Robin Van Persie and Jason Roberts.

Muamba and his new bride are pictured in the new edition of Hello! magazine accompanied by Manchester United striker Van Persie and his wife Bouchra.

The couple married a week ago - just seven months after Muamba collapsed on the pitch when his heart stopped as Bolton played Tottenham Hotspur, leaving him technically dead for 78 minutes.

He amazed medics by pulling through, although his playing days are now behind him.

Muamba, 24, told the magazine: ''This year has been a difficult one but, to me, marriage is the happy ending.''

Among guests was one of the men who saved his life, Dr Sam Mohiddin from the London Chest Hospital. He said: ''Seven months ago this day was completely inconceivable. I just feel elated for Fabrice and Shauna, and so honoured to be here to celebrate with them.''

The happy couple's three-year-old son Joshua was pageboy for the ceremony.

Van Persie said the day was ''particularly special'' because of the life-threatening incident.

''The cardiac arrest had a big impact on everyone in football, and we all lived the moment as Fab recovered in hospital. Everyone is so relieved and happy for him and Shauna.''

Other players who shared their joy were ex-United star Andy Cole and Muamba's Bolton team-mates Stuart Holden and Martin Petrov.

Obafemi Martins Recieves Big Bucks, Neglects Family

Nigerian footballer, Obafemi Akinwunmi the former Super Eagles striker and Lavante Football Club, Spain point man has allegedly abandoned his family in Nigeria to the mercy of penury and abject poverty.

Sources close to him swore that after the former Inter Milan striker gained fame in 2004, he has virtually allegedly turned his back at his family members at Orile Aguda in Lagos. Martins allegedly dumped his family members soon after the death of his mother.

some of their family members have resorted to squatting with friends after their Orile family house was demolished by Fashola's administration some years ago. Just recently, Martins bought two houses in VGC, Victoria Island, Lagos worth about N350million along with expensive cars.

Meanwhile, another story emanated that, Martins has denied the child he got from a woman who stays in London. It was gathered that, the lady named Katherine, had a child for Martins but the former Newcastle striker refused to accept the child from her.

Also, Martins' late brother's (Ladi) wife, Mariam, who had a baby for Ladi before his death, we learnt was never given any N5million as pay off as earlier reported in some sections of the media. Instead, Martins allegedly chased the poor woman out of his VGC home when she visited him (Martins).

Sources claimed that the woman was reportedly chased away by Martins with her pregnancy. As we further learnt, this has rendered the woman homeless as Martins allegedly sold Ladi's house and Range Rover Sport.

Martins recently signed a big money contract from Russia to Spain.

Well, Could all these be true?

P Square: ''We Have No Hand In Our Mom's Death''

Exquisite musicians Paul and Peter Okoye, aka Psquare have broken their silence on their alleged involvement in the death of their mother.

On Thursday, July 12, 2012, the world received the sad news of the death of Mrs Josephine Okoye. She was reported to have died after an unsuccessful heart surgery in an Indian hospital in Kolkata. NET gathered that the supportive mother, who had been a pillar of support to her children, had been ill for a while, as her last public appearance was the Psquare Invasion concert in August 2011. She took ill shortly after and was diagnosed with a severe case of diabetes. Although initially admitted at the St. Nicholas hospital in Lagos, she was eventually flown abroad after her case deteriorated.

Mrs. Okoye passed away after over 5 hours of heart surgery, according to Psquare's older brother, Jude Okoye, 'You know that she was a prayer warrior, so I don't need to tell you how she stood by us spiritually. Besides, she was the only one that believed in us when we decided to make a career out of music. I can remember that she used to sneak us out at night then to attend shows without the consent of our father who insisted that we must quit music to face our education' he added.

Sympathizers, included friends, colleagues and fans thronged the artistes' Omole residence to sign the condolence register and commiserate with the brothers.

While the Okoye family where busy making arrangements to give their beloved mother a proper and befitting burial in their home town in Anambra State, rumours broke out alleging that the brothers were members of the Illuminati Cult and had sacrificed their mom for fame and wealth.The rumour mongers were quick to come up with various theories to back up their allegations, a few of them including their riches and fame, joining Akon's Konvict Music and featuring popular American rapper Rick Ross in one of their songs, among many other stories.

The absence of many friends and colleagues in the music industry at the Burial also fueled the rumours, as many claimed many of the artistes were afraid of being attached to the alleged Illuminati caucus. The Illuminati is alleged to be a conspiratorial organization, which is alleged to mastermind events and control world affairs through governments and corporations to establish a New World Order, they most common sign is that of a pyramid (The triangle shape).

 While this was shocking to the Okoye's, who were still in mourning, they remained silent.

However, in a recent interview with the Punch, while answering various questions on their career success and achievements so far, they were asked about their mom's death and the allegations, read excerpts from the interview:

How do you feel about your mum' s death?

We feel so bad to know that our mum is no more. But who are we to question the Almighty God. Traditionally, we are supposed to bury her and not the other way round. It is just that it happened so soon.. Indeed, her death was a big blow to us.

It was rumoured that you people knew what happened to her?

Then, it is too bad to hear that people are accusing us of being responsible for our mum's death. We are not blaming anybody. People are free to say what they want to say. We begin to wonder whether  there is anything that will ever make us to go for the life of our beloved mother.

Her life cannot be quantified in terms of money or fame. So, our answer to this question is that we have no hand in our mum's death. We only blame the death that snatched her away from us if not so, people won't be pointing accusing fingers at us. She died after a brief illness.

Aside [from] your mum's death, there was another rumour that you guys have joined Illuminati?

We are short of words. Why would anybody say such things about us? Well, the fact remains that we do not belong to any secret cult, whether Illuminati or anything you call it. We owe our achievements and everything that is happening to us to Almighty God.

In recent times, many Nigerian artistes with international relations or ties, whose success and rise to stardom appears fast, are quickly accused of being members of the devilish Illuminati cult such artistes include the likes of, D'banj, Wizkid and even the late Dagrin. While many still claim, it's all a farce others are quick to accept signs and tattoos done by the suspected members as proof.

EUREKA!!!!!!!!

Life for me was a bitch

It has been a bunch of waves for me
I have searched high and low and found nothing,
Tried all I can and end up loosing,
Been everything ......and still be nothing,
It took me a long while to get out of the murky hole of nothingness


But one day i finally found that one thing, I have searched for,
I finally found gold at the end of the cloud
and the silver lining at the bottom of the mine field
and I had my EUREKA moment.

It was definitely worth it the wait.


Lesson behind this? Don't Give Up.

A 10-year old girl (name withheld) has accused her 62-year-old step father  Mr. Alabi Ibrahim of habitually having carnal knowledge of  her.

The primary six pupil  disclosed this   Sunday, lamenting  that  she had  lost count  on number of times her step  father had intercourse with her at their residence at Opara Estate, Aiyetoro Road in Abeokuta.

Sources revealed that the act was made known to all when the girl ignorantly  shared  her experience with  her siblings who then hinted her mother.

It was further learnt that the mother, Mrs. Adiat Ibrahim, subsequently reported her husband's immorality to the police in Abeokuta. The suspect, however, bolted  when police detectives went after him in OnikolObo area.

Narrating her ordeal, the victim claimed that each time her step father had sex with her, he  usually  threatened to kill her  if she told anybody about it.

She said; "Daddy always came to me when Mummy was not at home, and warned me not to tell anybody, so that I wouldn't die".

When contacted, Ogun State Police  Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi  confirmed the incident.

He described the action of the man as  barbaric, promising that the police will thoroughly investigate the matter towards possibly charging the suspect to court for defilement.

"The police totally condemn the act. He will not be spared. The man will be charged to court, after a thorough investigation," Adejobi assured
