Click banner for more info

Senate President David Mark has said his experience in South Africa during the Nations Cup final has shown that Nigeria has only few friends on the African Continent.

Mark led the Federal Government’s delegation to South Africa to spur Super Eagles to victory in their encounter with Burkina Faso in the final match of the soccer competition.

Speaking at plenary yesterday during a debate on a motion by Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and 107 others, on Nigeria’s Outing at the AFCON 2013, Mark noted that very few people from other African countries wanted Nigeria to win the trophy.

How men can decode what their partner really means

What she says (and what she means). Says she doesn’t want a gift? It really means she didn’t want to be asked 

…What she really means

So, Valentine’s Day is here again, and women across the country will be uttering those famous words, “Oh I don’t want a present!”

But men, be warned, take that request literally and you risk being in the doghouse.

Words are not enough … for women, that is. Words are just part of women’s communication process and we’ll often use them in context, adding real meaning with body language or tone of voice. Men, however, tend to use words in a ‘say it straight or you’ll get it crooked’ fashion – which is why they’re often accused of being tactless or blunt.

Should Couples Have Joint Accounts ?

Tunde grimaced as the cashier handed him back the debit card. “I am sorry Sir, but your card has been declined for insufficient funds”. Since he got married to Temi, this had become a problem. Temi was not as responsible with money as he would have liked and could be quite frivolous and impulsive about spending. Whatever money was deposited in the joint account through direct debits from their two salary accounts simply evaporated into thin air. Fortunately, Tunde always kept some cash on him so he was able to pay for the groceries.

Tough economic times can strain not only a couple’s finances, but their relationship as well; where one partner is less “responsible” with money, their spouse may feel some resentment. Financial concerns are one of the most common sources of tension in a relationship. Fortunately, planning and communication can help you avoid financial friction and frustrating conversations.

American TV host Ellen DeGeneres uncontrollably gaped at Katy Perry's full breasts as she walked past the very-aware singer with her partner. Katy Perry who wore a mint-green Gucci gown -giving more than a hint of the assets that once must have felt the touch of British comedian Russell Brand's hands- seemed to have treated with contempt, Grammy guidelines asking for female breasts to be “adequately covered” with the take-a-look-at-the-bòòbs gown.

Images purported to show the next-generation iPhone have leaked online, as more and more details emerge of what’s shaping up to be an unusually crowded Apple product pipeline in 2013.

Sourced by Chinese site Zol.com.cn, the photos, which it's claimed originate from a plant operated by Apple manufacturing partner Foxconn, appear to show the handset at varying stages of the production process.

Assuming what we're looking at is the real thing (and it should be noted that some claim that they're merely fake iPhones), the iPhone 6 is barely distinguishable from the iPhone 5, both in terms of dimensions and design.

His major acclaim to success in the Nigerian music industry can easily be traced to his hit single ‘Celebrate’, which sent both the young and old singing, ‘I celebrate, I jubilate.’ But after he dropped that song, Waconzy (real name Obinna Kelvin Anyanwu) suddenly fizzled into thin air until last year when he resurfaced with another single titled ‘Club on Fire’.

However, the former Port Harcourt based singer is no longer a regular feature in the Nigerian music scene as he is now focusing on his other businesses .

Is It Proper To Answer Sir To Your Husband?

Click banner for more info

My colleague does this and when I advised her to stop it, she took offense and stopped talking to me. She said we modern women have no respect any longer, that her mum called her father sir and told her it was the respectful thing to do. Whenever her husband calls her on the phone, she answers sir. Is that respect or fear?

I think calling your husband sir is ridiculous! Your boss and an older person, definitely, but not your spouse.

Checking His Or Her Fone, Right Or Wrong ?

Click banner for more info

You trust him/her, yes you do so very much but sometimes you just can’t fight the urge to look through his/her recent messages, recent contacts,  recent emails, recent bbm chats and maybe just maybe even DMs. It doesn’t mean you are snoopy or don’t trust your partner yeah, but you just feel a little uncomfortable about where he/she told you he/she was on Friday night.

The question here is however, does it make you feel better? Or let me rephrase, does it make you feel foolish when you find absolutely nothing or worse get caught?

Sports: Jujuman Caught In Ghana's Camp

The subject of ‘juju’ seems not to be far away from the Black Stars camp anytime they come crushing out of major tournaments ala the AFCON 2012 in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, where then Ghana Coach, Goran Stevanovic ‘Plavi’ came out to confirm the use of ‘black magic’ by some of his charges in camp.

This time though in South Africa, it seems the ‘culprit’ was outside who managed to sneak past security to the Ghana dressing room and was on the verge of sprinkling the concoction to do the ‘damage’ when he was allegedly caught and handed over to Tony Baffoe.
