Dear Lady, You just have to read this to the End!!!!!!

I am excited that you commended the advise to guys and some of you even shared it. It is good to know you appreciate such gestures. But, can i also give you an advise?

This yuletide is something you must be careful with. You must guide and guard yourself. In my few years of Therapism and Counselling, i have encountered persons who are regretting certain of their actions at a time.

Well, it is being said in our local palace that; "The dog on a mission to lost would not hear the master's whistle". But i pray that would not be your case.

You are already to do ALL sorts as long as it registers you as one of the big babes in town making things 'happen'. Well, i don't know what you make happen except for your constant upload of pictures and changing of dps. Life is seriously more than that.

All you achieved this year was an upgrade from blackberry Q10 to Samsung Galaxy Note 5, oh sorry, you got a 'Selfie stick' too. Congrats!

This year is ending and with your unproductive life, you venture to begin the new year with the wayward way you started the last one. I thought it was said that; "Only a fool will keep doing a particular in a particular way but expects a different result"?

How much do you really worth in the market of life? No, if we decide to shade you up as a ware, what will be the price tag on you?

Why are you opening your legs for cheap and for free? Any guy could sleep with you because he cruises Camry 2 point 2 or a hired Range. Is that all that life means? Was that what you were born to do? It is good you know all the hotels and all the hide-outs, would it not be nice too to know some SENSE SPOTS.#countdown#

UNILORIN Primary Education Programme Gets NUC Approval

 National Universities Commission, NUC accredited the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN newly established Primary Education programme.
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has given the management of the University of Ilorin the go-ahead for its newly established Primary Education programme, having satisfied all necessary conditions needed for the successful take-off of the course.
The NUC’s nod came through its accreditation team that visited the University last Monday (December 14, 2015).
Presenting her report at the end of the team’s visit last Tuesday (December 15, 2015), the leader of the accreditation team, Prof. Julie Ibiam, commended the management of the University of Ilorin for putting in place all necessary requirements for the new programme.
The accreditation team leader, who is a Professor of Childhood Education, Department of Primary Education, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, explained that the team visited the Department of Primary Education, the University Library, laboratories and other related places on campus, saying that what they found on ground had shown clearly that the University was indeed ready for the course.
Prof. Ibiam disclosed that the team had examined the academic content, curriculum, physical structure of the Department, the admission modality, the laboratory and library facilities, among others.
She advised the authority of the University to intensify efforts on things that would further give the Department a face-lift so as to be rated as one of the best in the country.
In his response, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), thanked the NUC team for painstakingly screening the Department without fear or favour.
The Vice-Chancellor, who was represented on the occasion by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research, Technology and Innovation), Prof. Gabriel Olatunji, explained that the University of Ilorin is very conscious of standard when it comes to research, teaching and community service.
Prof. Olatunji described Primary Education as the foundation that must be given a proper attention and recognition to ensure that everything built on it stands on a good footing.
He then pledged that the University would do everything possible to ensure that the institution sustains its leading role in terms of academic integrity.
Earlier on Monday, the accreditation team was welcomed to the University by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (RTI) on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali.
The leader of the team, Prof. Ibiam, said the team was in the University of Ilorin to perform a national assignment given to them by the National Universities Commission as regards the accreditation of Primary Education, a new programme in the institution.
She explained that the NUC representatives were not in the University to witch-hunt the authority of the institution but to look at what is on ground in the new Department.
Prof. Ibiam, therefore, sought the cooperation and assistance of the University authority by providing the team with necessary information and enabling environment needed to carry out the exercise effectively and efficiently.
In his response, Prof. Olatunji urged members of the accreditation team to feel free to conduct their exercise, pledging that the authority of the University would provide them with necessary materials, documents and necessary information they needed for the job.

Teaching in Nigeria is difficult says British Principal

 A Briton, Mr. Graham Meredith, says that teaching in Nigerian schools is a difficult task. Meredith, the Principal of Premiere Academy, Lugbe, Abuja, said this during the institution’s sixth graduation ceremony.
He said, “To be a principal in Nigeria is not an easy job because the kids want to learn. When you have pupils that want to learn and improve themselves, it becomes a big challenge as you have to prepare because they are intelligent.”
According to him, Nigerian educational system is also unique because of many factors, including the desire of the pupils to go for the best.
He added, “The pupils want to learn and they see it as an opportunity to go to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe to further their careers. They work and study hard and have good manners. From what I have seen, Nigerian pupils also are very respectful.
“If you do well, you can get admission and meet other best scholars across the world. And if you go to the best universities, you are going to meet the best people. But you have to get the entry ticket.”
To boost the moral of teachers, he stated that motivation should be the primary factor to be taken into consideration.
Meredith added, “Teachers at Premiere are qualified and are specialists in their own field. While some of them have the minimum degree qualification, others have master’s degrees. Besides, teachers here are motivated.

Policeman kills twin brothers,friend and himself in Lagos(Photos)

  A drunk policeman, Stephen James, on Saturday shot dead three male customers at a hotel in the Ketu area of Lagos State.
According to SUNDAY PUNCH, among the deceased were twin brothers identified as Taiwo and Kehinde Oyesunle and their friend known simply as Jeje. The twins were the only children of their mother.
The tragic incident; which happened outside the premises of Paulson Hotel on Anibaba Street around 4:20pm, threw the entire neighbourhood and its environs into chaos with passers-by and residents scampering in different directions.
According to eyewitnesses, trouble started when the police sergeant with Force number 217884, threatened to shoot customers if they failed to buy him an alcoholic drink.
The policeman, who was said to be a habitual smoker of marijuana, however, felt offended after the victims – Taiwo, Kehinde and Jeje – cautioned him to comport himself as an adult and a responsible policeman.
The eyewitnesses said the policeman ambushed and killed the three young men, who were in their early 30s, as they stepped outside the hotel premises where they had gone to celebrate Jeje’s birthday.
When the gravity of his act dawned on him, the policeman reportedly shot himself in the chest. A guest at the hotel, who witnessed the killings, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the policeman had boasted about wanting to kill people hours before the incident happened.
The customer, who identified himself only as Femi, said all efforts to pacify the policeman proved abortive as he kept fomenting trouble and harassing visitors with his gun all afternoon. “I was in the bar when the policeman first came in and threatened to shoot customers if they failed to buy him drinks.
He boasted that he felt like killing someone today, but other customers and I pleaded with him. “When the three guys walked in and sat, he went to them and threatened them too.
But the guys told him to calm down that they would take care of him but he should comport himself as a responsible police officer. “Nobody knew he took offence with their statement.
The police officer shot the three guys one after the other as they stepped outside the hotel before killing himself. The whole thing happened like a movie,” he said.
Another resident Ladipo Idowu told our correspondents that the policeman was known to foment trouble in the area. He said James usually fired his gun indiscriminately and the residents had warned the hotel authorities to caution him but nothing was done about it.
Another eyewitness, Dada Salawu, said, he was passing by when he saw the policeman and the three friends exchanging words. He said hardly had he left the area when the policeman opened fire on the victims.
A former girlfriend to one of the slain twins told SUNDAY PUNCH that they were the only children of their parents. The lady, who was inconsolable as she spoke to one of our correspondents, said the twins were still mourning the death of their father who passed away in June 2014 when their lives were cut short.
Refusing to have her picture taken, she said, “I called them very early on Saturday morning not to go outside their compound after I dreamt of seeing blood. I called them again at about 2:00pm to warn them. The twins, however, decided to drive a vehicle a relation had just bought at about 3:00pm.
They drove to Paulson Hotel.” The Sports Utility Vehicle which the victims drove was still parked in front of the hotel by the time our correspondents left the scene. An angry mob, which later gathered at the scene of the tragedy, attempted to burn down the hotel and destroy properties within its premises.
As irate youths threw bottles and stones at the hotel, lodgers ran out of their rooms with their luggage and fled the scene. As at the time of filing this report, the hotel had been completely deserted by staff and guests.
The youths also wanted to burn the corpse of the policeman, but policemen, who later got to the scene pleaded with them. Policemen led by the Divisional Police Officer of the Ketu Police Station arrived at the scene at about 5.30 pm to carry the corpses away.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Joe Offor, confirmed the killings to our correspondents on the telephone. However, he said he had not yet received the full details of the incident. DSP Joe Offor said, “The policeman was on duty at that hotel. He was attached to Mopol 22, Ikeja.
He was drunk while on duty and he acted under the influence of alcohol.” Efforts to speak with the management of the hotel on the incident proved abortive as it was deserted as of 6.30pm when one of our correspondents left the scene.
When one of our correspondents visited the home of the twins at No. 3, Dairo Street, Ketu, a sea of sympathisers were gathered, while friends of the victims vowed to revenge the killing. The entire neighbourhood was in tension with nearby hotels, drinking joints and shops closing for business earlier than usual.

5 Signs You Are Dating A Bad ‘Player’

Here is a list of things men should do that women really adore.
1. Planning is amazing
When a man plans, it’s almost as exciting as him proposing. Whether he organises a date, a weekend trip and an afternoon walk, all of it makes a woman happy. It shows her that he is capable of putting effort into her, and she likes it.
2. Being a great listener
Showing a woman that you’re a great listener isincredible. Remember things that the woman mentioned that she likes. Whether it’s flowers, a book, chocolates or jewellery, if you surprise your woman, it makes her feel really special.

3. Show HER some vulnerability
It’s extraordinary when a man can openly and honestly talk about his feelings with you. When he’s comfortable doing so, it’s great. It’s so great, it’s like winning the emotional lottery.
4. Please her in the bedroom
When a man can make it happen for a woman, how elated she is. A man, who wants to pleasure a woman, so she really enjoys herself, this is how women define a good man. He gets an extra applause if it’s something he doesn’t ordinarily like doing.
5. Cook for her
When a man knows his way around the kitchen and is capable and confident, it’s cute. Women are $uckers for the look on his face when he means business with those vegetables. Cooking takes patience and shows women that they are cherish-worthy.
6. Let’s go shopping
Let’s face it; sports are a popular hobby for most men. Well, shopping is a favourite pastime of many women. Shopping is to women what sports is to men. Shopping may not be good for women’s wallets (or their man’s), and it certainly isn’t cardio, but it absolutely is fun. When a man can shop with you and give his opinion, he’s golden.
7. It’s okay to be nerdy
Am I the only woman who not-so-secretly thinks it’s really endearing when a man is curled up on his couch with his book? When he gets all geeked out and excited about something he is
reading and is not ashamed of it, it is pretty adorable.
8. Compromise is key
How many times has your man done something he doesn’t want to because you asked him to?
When a man does something for his woman that he wouldn’t ordinarily want to do, it makes her heart melt. Being sweet and thoughtful always goes a long way. She so appreciates you doing something you’re not eager to.
9. Get all sporty
It’s nice to see men fired up and pa*sionate about sports. In fact, it’s oddly exciting. When you are roaring at the TV and getting all riled up — it’s almost Intimate. When your eyes light up, you become quite desirable.
10. Kisses and caresses her
Being affectionate and sweet to women goes a long way. When a man is sweet to his woman — whether he puts his arm around her when she is not expecting it, hold her hand just because, or give her an excited kiss for no reason — her heart skips a beat.
11. Love her family
Some people have an unusual family. But, your family is your family and you love them a lot. When a man gets in close with the girl’s family and makes all family members love him, he’s
extra fabulous.
12. It’s okay to be dominating
Dominating us makes us sizzle in all the right places. Every woman wants a little Fifty Shades of Grey in her life. There’s a time and a place to make love, and there’s a time and a place to be more aggressive. When the man know the difference, he can make us swoon.

5 Types Of Women You Should Never Consider Dating

  OK. So you’re just out of a relationship and you’re fresh in the dating market. You’re thinking of hooking up with a beautiful young woman irrespective of where or how you meet her. It could be at the bar, a red light district or even the club. All you’re concerned about is the fact that she’s single and you should make that move simply because she’s a potential fling or girlfriend in the making. Even though she seems to be a good catch, you may want to watch some subtle signs she may be giving off that may be an indication of the negativity she would bring, if you ever considered dating her.

As a result, here are five types of women you should do all you can to avoid (at least till you get to know them well enough) when you’re on the lookout for a woman to date.

The One That Dislikes What She Does
A lot of women are around who don’t give a hoot what happens to their jobs or careers simply because they would rather not work but get someone who would shoulder all their responsibilities. It is important for you to deduce if she’s on to you for different reasons that have nothing to do with the real you such as your account balance.
You can ask her about her career and be on the lookout for how pa*sionate she answers your inquiry. If she’s also driven to leave her present job for something bigger, then that’s a good sign. If she’s however the type that isn’t too keen about what she does and jumps around from one job to the other or repeatedly tells you she dislikes work, she may be out for the money. Women that are like this mostly do not appreciate how generous you may be on the long run which has a negative effect on whatever kind of relationship you plan to have with her.

The One That’s Always Stuck With Her Phone
Someone that’s attached to their phones are problematic in that they have a need to constantly stay in contact with people perhaps as a means of feeling secured. They may not necessarily be chatting with their friends or acquaintances but they feel a compulsion to check their phone for details. Dependency on social media through their smart phones would present a problem as time goes on if you end up dating them.

A Lady That Just Came Out Of A Broken Relationship
There are a lot of reasons why these type of women should not be atop your list of potential dates. Though they are very attractive, pa*sionate and wild, chances are they would break your heart. A woman that just got out of a relationship is doing all she can to avoid any new pain. They usually want to be around people and will connect with anyone around them that would make them feel better. Such women would easily jump into any relationship that comes their way which increases the chances of you getting hurt if you ever get attached to them.

The Lady Seated Alone Downing Drinks In The Bar
A lot of men are attracted to women that can hold their own and do typically the kind of things men do on a regular. It is however important you avoid throwing caution to the wind as she may just be at the bar to blow off steam after a bad day or worse still a breakup. More so, she may be the type that gets emotional after one too many drinks and the fun night you might have been on the lookout for could turn into a night of tears and petting.
The One That Blames The World For Everything That’s Wrong With Her
Rolling with a pessimistic woman is something you don’t want to do especially one that never sees her fault in things. Such people are basically incapable of accepting responsibility for their actions and would rather blame everyone and everything for whatever wrong befalls them. They would never change any of their problematic attitude because they never see anything wrong in their actions. If you find her constantly talking about how everyone messes up but her, you may want to reconsider going ahead with a relationship.

Low Patronage"Government should increase fees in public Universities so that students might opt for private institutions"- JABU VC

The Vice Chancellor of theJoseph Ayo Babalola University, (JABU) Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State,Prof Sola Fajanahas blamed the declining rate of students applying into private universities on the poor economic situation in the country.

Fajana advocated the narrowing down the gap between private and public university fees as he believes this will encourage more parents to consider private universities for their wards.

He urged the government to consider an upward review of the fees payable by students in public universities as this will cause parents will consider the advantages inherent in patronizing private institutions.

Professor Fajana noted that JABU has taken care of ravaging joblessness among graduates as all graduates of the institution are already trained in entrepreneurial skills thereby creating rooms for diversification by graduands.

UNIJOS Strike: ASUU disappointed in university governing...

The University of Joschapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has expressed their disappointment that the university governing council has been unable to resolve the discord in the institution which started eight weeks ago
Dr Chris Piwuna, ASUU Chairman, University of Jos, disclosed that lecturers have made themselves available for dialogue, but the council and senate of the university have made themselves unavailable.

He added that the university authorities have been nonchalant, despite attempts by individuals and stakeholders to resolve the issues.

Piwuna said, “This is eight week of industrial action and we we very surprised that this action has taken this long to resolve and it is not because we have made ourselves unavailable to the university authorities or the senate.

Interestingly we have met with individuals who are interested in seeing these issues resolved more than we have met with the authorities.”

“We want to ask this simple question. Is the university closed or open? If it is open, why has it taken the university eight weeks to resolve the crisis? The purpose of university is leaning and research and if a university has been closed for eight weeks without any activity, then, we wonder what type of learning environment is this," the chairman lamented.

Photo: Suspects Of Oyingbo Robbery Busted By Vigilante Group

 Vigilante Group in Oyingbo area has busted the the armed robbery gang that raided Oyingbo market.
According to Punch, the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a suspected robber, Saliu John, on the Old Apapa Road, Oyingbo, after allegedly dispossessing some market women of about N28,000.
Punch correspondent learnt that John, who was said to have come to the area with two others, was nabbed by members of a vigilante group after he reportedly
missed his way after the operation. John and other accomplices had suddenly become separated, forcing the suspect to hide behind a tanker parked on the road.
It was learnt that some local security men later sighted him there. Punch Metro learnt that John, who was arrested at about 9pm on Monday, was questioned by the security men and he told them that he had come to do business in the area from Ijora, after which he missed his way.
When the suspect was, however, searched, the vigilance group members were said to have found different purses containing money, arousing the suspicion of the security men that John allegedly attacked some market women.
The suspect was said to have been taken to the Iponri Police Division on Tuesday. A member of the vigilance service executive, identified only as Musibau, told Punch Metro that John’s three-man gang usually came from the Ijora area to rob on Jones, Atitebi and
neighbouring streets on the Old Apapa Road. Musibau added that when John could not account for the cash found on him, the security men knew he was a robber.
He said: “It was at about 8.30pm on Monday. The robber was hiding behind a tanker parked by the roadside. It was a security man at a hotel nearby who noticed the stranded robber and alerted the vigilance group.
“When we searched him, we found purses containing
sums of N1,500, N3,000, N2,500 among others, which added up to around N28,000.
He could not give account of where he got the purses. He initially lied that he was coming from the Ijora area to do business and he had missed his way. “Later, he confessed to robbery, and we held him until the morning when policemen from Iponri came to take him away.
The hoodlums have a culture of robbing women who are returning from markets in the evening. They would attack them with broken bottles and clubs and collect their day’s sales. “We learnt that the suspect came with two others who had escaped, but he got separated from them and was left behind.
We did not find any weapon on John. But he came from the Ijora Badia, Apapa area.” A resident, identified only as Kareem, said the gang also stole the batteries of two cars parked on Atitebi Street.
Punch learnt that the vigilance group and the police were making efforts to track the two other suspected robbers. The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, promised to get back on the incident. He, however, had yet to do so as of press time.

10 Amazing Health Benefits of Making Love:
1. It Helps You Sleep Better.
The sleep that you get just after you’ve made love will be much more relaxed. Getting a good night’s sleep will make you feel alert and overall healthy.
One of the brain’s stress-relieving chemicals, oxytocin, is released during making love. That oxytocin does not only increase endorphins and decrease pain, but it can also help put you to sleep. “S-x, and feeling loved, decreases stress, which makes worries disappear and allows you to fall into a deep sleep.”
It also involves muscle contractions and movement that deplete the body of energy, allowing it to be flooded with those feel-good, soothing hormones.
2. It Burns Calories.
Making love is a great form of exercise and helps burn those stubborn calories.
Studies suggest that making love on a regular basis is as good as pumping some iron in the gym. Also, it involves muscular movement of the thighs, legs, arms, shoulders and lower abdomen which equals a total body workout.
The average session burns about 150 calories, comparable to an easy yoga session or a walk. It’s a nice exercise. It burns calories, especially if it is doing by a variety of styles and position. Making love is a good way to lose weight.
3. It Boosts Your Immune System.
Making love just once or twice a week has been linked to having higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin, which can increase your protection from colds and other infections by up to 30 percent.
4. It Keeps You Young.

Research suggests that regular lovemaking allows the release of endorphins and boosts the skin’s production of vitamin D, which in turn makes one look and feel young.
5. It Helps to Get Relieves From Stress.

They studied 24 women and 22 men who kept records of their sexual activity. Researchers found that it helps to get relieves from stress.

Making love is a nice natural pain reducer. According to studies, vaginal stimulation may lead to increased pain tolerance which in turn has the power to ease out pain during periods, arthritis and migraine.
As the hormone oxytocin surges, endorphins increase, and pain declines. For chronic pain sufferers, forget about popping toxic pain pills, s-x is the way to go.
Migraines and chronic back pain have been shown to be reduced, thanks to these incredible natural healers. S-x wards off the flu and colds. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.

It helps women to be more beautiful. During making of love, women produce the estrogen hormone in significant amounts.
These hormones can make women’s skin smoother and makes hair becomes shiny. Sweat that released during s-x can cleanse the pores and make skin glow.
Beside that, sexual relationships can increase the amount of pheromone in the body that can make a woman look more beautiful and attractive.

A steamy session powered by s-x can easily perk up your mood and keep you in a happy zone.
Researches shows that a positive relationship significantly improves the overall health and well- being. Happily married couples are less likely to develop health problems such as cancer and heart failure, and will live longer on average.
Your body will experience a whole roller coaster of hormones during s-x and reminisce afterwards. The main hormone is oxytocin, also known as the hormone of love is called.
This particular hormone is important for binding and cherish with your partner and will be released when you’re hugging and have contact with your partner.
