Who Should Pay For The Date, The Man Or Woman?

We all know that it's usually the guy who pays whenever he takes his companion out. But the question is, who really should pay for the date?

Recall that some girls get disappointed whenever their boyfriends can't take them out probably because they're broke. But still, they need to honestly consider that men can run out of money too, as boyfriends are not money machines that has endless cash. The same also applies to some guys who get annoyed when their girlfriend can't take them out.

I think when going out on a date, it is best to let the person who has money at that time pay the bills and on the next one, the other person foots the bills.

Such responsibility shouldn't rest on the shoulder of one person. That's a bit unfair, though, sometimes, it's the person's choice. That's just for me though, what about you?

Second Coming Won't Happen As Jesus Made Drunk Promise - Vatican

According to spokesperson for the Vatican, Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore, the second coming of Jesus, the only son of the God, may not happen now after all.
Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore has officially announced that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the Lord to return to Earth. But he urged followers to still continue with their faith, regardless of the news.
Cardinal Salvadore said, "We just feel Jesus is not coming back by the looks of it. It’s been ages like. He’s probably flat out doing other really good things for people somewhere else."
In chapter John 14:1-3 of the Bible, Jesus promised his disciples that he would come again: "There are many homes up where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with Me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you plainly."
Cardinal explained Jesus’ broken promise saying that he was probably drinking wine at the time when he made the comments. "Having the ability to turn water into wine had its ups and its downs. We all make promises we can’t keep when we’re drunk. Jesus was no different," added Cardinal Salvadore.
The church said it will now focus attentions on rebuilding its reputation around the world, but will keep an optimistic mind for the savior’s second coming. (Naij)

Men Versus Women And The Use Of Love Charms.

I was watching a preacher on Gospel Network TV and He announced that someone in the congregation had used love potion on a man…..

he asked whoever it was to come out for prayers and guess what? one quarter of the church came out. Men and women,young and old, Married and single,rich and poor all filed out for prayers Can you imagine? 

Do men also use love charms?

If love charms work,does it really have expiring date? The old people who came out as well,when exactly did they do their love charms?

Does this explain why some people walk out of a marriage years after without an explanation?

Growing up,I heard a gist which i don't know if its the true ….

 A man woke up one day and asked his wife "who are you and how come I married you?"After 3 teenage kids,he allegedly threw her out saying she was supposed to have been a fling and nothing more. 

Love potion is still very popular

*Please if you were a victim of love charm or know anyone who was and has been delivered,can you describe the experience

Teacher accused of impregnating 12-year-old pupil

The teacher threatened to deal with the girl if she told anyone he raped her.
The police in Plateau have arrested one a teacher, Chukudi Boniface, for allegedly raping and impregnating his 12-year-old student.
The police have also arrested Mr. Boniface, a teacher with a private primary school, “Bright Kids Academy,” in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state for allegedly raping the Primary 3 pupil.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Felicia Anselm, confirmed the arrest to journalists in Jos, on Tuesday. She said the teacher has been arrested and kept in police custody for further interrogations.
“The man in question has been arrested and investigation is ongoing. He will be charged to court, because the girl is already four months pregnant now. I want to assure the public that justice will be the outcome of the investigation”.
The victim was an orphan, so the teacher took advantage of that and warned her not to mention the act to anyone, the police spokesperson said.
Ms. Anslem also said the state Commissioner of Police, Chris Olakpe, has ordered proper investigations into the matter, saying that the rape of minors in the state was becoming unwarranted.
The teacher allegedly made love to the pupil during an extramural lesson approved by the school authority.
According to police officer investigating the case, “after giving the rest of pupils class work, (the teacher) separately invited the victim to wait for him in the other classroom with her book where he committed the crime.”
According to the victim who spoke fearfully while speaking to the press, “my teacher used to call me to come close and hold my hands. And then he will force me down and remove my cloths and have sex with me. I cried but nobody would come to help. After he finished, he warned me not to tell anybody and said if I do, he will beat me”.
The victim’s family said the girl did not say anything to them because of the threats by the teacher. They said she only spoke after they noticed she was pregnant

Sex positions women like

Here comes that generalisation again, and with it the knowledge that at least one reader will say, "But I'm not like that". Okay, let's say that many - not all - women enjoy these lovemaking positions.

Call us indulgent, but most men enjoy seeing their partners having an orgasm. Here are a few of the positions many women find gives them the most pleasure, along with some tips for men on maximising the enjoyment for both of you.

Astride
You lie on your back, perhaps with a pillow under your bottom. Once she's on top of you and you're inside her, you can tilt your pelvis forward a bit, which allows her to grind hers more directly against it. Many women find this a reliable way of having a clitoral orgasm, especially if they lie on top of you. She may prefer you to lie still and let her control the rhythm of her movement. Don't worry - it'll be pleasant for you too.

Your partner may also prefer to remain erect, resting her weight on her hands while moving rhythmically up and done. This enables her to move her G-spot against the head or shaft of your penis.

This position can be hugely enjoyable position for both of you. Your partner may heighten the sensation for both of you by squeezing her kegel muscles. Exotic sex manuals talk about women turning around while astride the man, but feats like these have more value as a novelty than heightened pleasure. Try it, but don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t work out. There are plenty of other options.

The intimate missionary
It's a much-maligned position, but many women love it. It allows full-length, skin-to-skin touching and eye contact. Try putting your arms around your partner and holding her close to you. You can also hold yourself up on your arms and move inside her, very slowly and rhythmically, rather than frantic rodeo-type thrusting. Try putting a pillow under her bottom.

Making a stand
For this you'll need a very sturdy surface, at about waist height. If it's a cold, hard or rough surface, your partner will appreciate a towel between it and her bottom. Some men go on about the value of a rumbling, vibrating tumble-drier to add extra sensation. If you're comfortable with your partner calling out the name of the manufacturer while in the throes of passion, switch on the machine.

The reason so many women like this position is that it allows contact with the G-spot. Some women find it the only position in which they can ejaculate, often a highly erotic experience for both partners. She should probably be fully aroused before you enter her, as you'll be penetrating her deeply.

Depending on where you do this - a fallen tree in the middle of the Okavango, against a lifeboat on a cruise liner, under a full moon in Venice - there'll also be an element of danger or intrigue. So this isn't the time for lingering, all-night intimacy, but rather the cut-to-the-action sort. Gauge your partner's mood right and your have a recipe for brief, explosive sex. It’s no replacement for the lingering, romantic sort, just a whizz-bang alternative.

Spoons in the sack
This is a slow, intimate position that can feel enormously erotic. Your partner lies on her side and you nestle in her back, letting you guide your penis inside her. There's no eye contact unless you have a strategically placed mirror (Not a bad idea if your partner fancies it), but it does allow you to rub and stroke her body and to kiss, lick and nuzzle her neck, back and ears. And of course, you can give her a running commentary on how good she makes you feel.

Stoop lively now
Not all women are wild about “doggy style” as it can seem a bit impersonal, but if the mood is right and she's confident that you're not fantasising about her sister it can be very exciting. You can do this standing, kneeling or lying down. For the latter you can put a pillow under her pelvis, and enter her vagina from behind, resting your weight on your hands.

Standing or kneeling affords the deepest penetration, and you can hold your partner's hips in your hands and control your thrusting with her pelvic movements and yours.

5 Reasons Why You Should Not Take That Job

It's a crazy world we live in. While thousands of grad students are jobless back home (African countries) to the point of taking ANYTHING - any decent job that pays, the grad students abroad screen for jobs. Why? Because not every 'job' that looks good is actually good or safe.

People may have told you, Just do whatever it takes to get hired: decorate your resume (i.e. LIE), make yourself look good (i.e. load it with stuff that you did years ago or skills that you've heard about but never tried).

These are 5 signs (RED FLAGS) that says, "Run! Don't take that job!" - especially if you're interested in a White collar (corporate and permanent) job.

1. Things Are Moving So Fast!
You don’t want an employer to string you along for months or go silent for weeks on end, but a too-rapid selection process is a big red flag. If your gut is telling you the people interviewing you are less interested in you as a teammate and more in filling the open requisition with any warm body at all, run away.

2. What’s the Job Description Again?
If you go on a job interview and no two people in the mix have the same idea about what the job is, be wary.Too much uncertainty in the role definition makes a job undoable, and virtually guarantees that somebody will be unhappy with your performance if you step into the job. Hold out for a company that knows what it needs in a new hire and is willing to commit to it in writing.

3. The Company Plan is Fantastic, But I Can’t Tell You What It Is.
Worthy employers pay the market rate, and they’re not afraid to tell you what the company package is going to look like, down to the nickel. If they promise to give you a bonus, but they can't explain when, how, or what the bonus is, that's a RED flag.

4. Sorry, That Information is Classified
When you’re a finalist for a new job, you should be invited to meet your teammates. You should get the information you need to make your decision, should you get the job offer. If someone balks when you ask for information that will help you decide whether or not to come on board, flee.

5. We Need a Bit More Information, And a Pint of Blood
When you’re proceeding through a Selection Pipeline, your natural assumption is that the people on the other side of the equation like and trust you. When they start asking you for proof of various things (a W-2 or payslips to prove your last salary, for instance) you know that these are people who don’t trust themselves to make a good hire. If they ask for more than paperwork or fingerprint, to blood sample, that's your clue - RUN!!

Hope these helps job-seekers. Courtesy of Liz Ryan (Forbes contributor).

Happiness Chidinma Opara's readers, are there any other RED FLAGS that can help job-seekers based on your past experience?

'Nigeria's Mark Zuckerberg' Gossy Ukanwoke - Founder of Nigeria's First Private Online University

The moment I read this CNN article, I couldn't resist but post it on the blog. Success stories coming out of Africa such as this one I'm about to share, really gets me inspired and thinking about how I can make a difference in my field.

Most of the young entrepreneurial successes we've had lately in Nigeria have come from the entertainment industry - particularly music. The stories of Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, and the likes, has inspired lots of young people to delve into music in search of that song that will make them "blow." There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I just wish that such successes can be replicated in other sectors, especially in technology.

Dubbed Nigeria's Mark Zukerberg, meet 25-year-old entrepreneur Gossy Ukanwoke, the founder of Nigeria's first private online university - Beni American University (BAU).

Read the article CNN wrote about him:

At 23, many people around the world are still at university -- at that age, Gossy Ukanwoke had already started one.

The young entrepreneur is the founder of Beni American University (BAU), Nigeria's first private online university. Launched in late 2012, the school allows students to access their classes at any time of the day with any internet-enabled device.

"We are providing executive programs for graduates who are looking for employment and want to build up their resumes, or managers who want to climb up the hierarchy of their companies," says Ukanwoke, now 25.

"We also have courses targeted at people who want to start their own business."

Ukanwoke's idea to start BAU came from his previous online venture called Students Circle, an educational social networking site he'd launched while in university that allows learners to interact and access free resources from leading schools.

"When I created Students Circle in 2010," explains Ukanwoke, "I found out that ... many were looking for certificates, hoping that they could get something they could use to maybe find employment or get a promotion in the workplace.

"There was a need for a new institution to be created in Nigeria," adds Ukanwoke, who was once described by Forbes as "Nigeria's Mark Zuckerberg."

Now, some 18 months into his new business endeavor, Ukanwoke has hired 10 instructors and has about 200 students, with an average age of 26.

But the startup's journey so far has not been without challenges -- Nigerian laws require universities to have a physical campus so last year Ukanwoke went and bought land in the country's Benue State with the goal to build a private campus that could accommodate some 10,000 students.

The project is expected to launch next year, but in the meantime the web courses are up and running -- a 12 week online program can cost between $100 and $300. Among the courses offered are corporate diplomacy, global marketing, leadership and management, digital journalism, project management and entrepreneurship and innovation, which is the university's most popular class.

"It's good because I have four kids," says Chinenye Madukwe, one of BAU's students. "I have opportunity to work at the same time, because I have a small interior design outfit."

Oo Nwoye, another BAU student, says he enrolled "for the knowledge."

"It is just helpful for my business and that is the most important thing to me," he explains.

Education is key

A son of two teachers, Ukanwoke says he is driven by his passion to use technology to solve social problems.

"I grew up within the framework where education was put at a very high level of importance, and entrepreneurship is something that I always wanted to do," he says.

"Without education I don't think we can do any progress," he adds. "It's not just about getting a certificate -- education is about teaching people how to make a living and teaching people how to live; how to interact with others, how to lead their lives and make something out of themselves," continues Ukanwoke.

"With education comes discipline and we need a lot of discipline in Nigeria as well, so education is really important."

Ukanwoke relies mainly on social media to advertize but says that it's student referrals that are increasing BAU's enrollment.

"We still have a long way to go, we have a lot of work to do, a lot of policy wrangling too," he admits. "But it's a work in progress and we are quite happy with where we are."
