4 sexual partners who will probably end up cheating on you

There are signs that men can exhibit in bed that may give you a glimpse into whether they are going to be someone who cheats on your or not. They are not overly obvious signs but they are little cues that could tell you that you are with someone who may stray.

A study was conducted at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which asked 123 couples that were married about narcissism in the bedroom. They would survey they every six months for the first four years of their marriage and found that a person was more likely to cheat within those first four years if they displayed traits of sexual narcissism. Here are the four biggest indicators:

1. Missing sexual empathy:

Partners who don’t seem to care about what their partner wants or needs in bed is an example of sexual empathy. They are usually the ones that do not think twice about getting 0ral sex but refuse to reciprocate. They often finish and then do not care if their partner is satisfied or not. Once they are done, they are done.

2. Entitlement:

This partner is the one who believes that even if you are not in the mood and they are things are still going to happen. They think that they should get it whenever they want whether their partner wants to or not.

3. Arrogance of skills:

When a partner thinks that they are God’s gift to everyone in bed they may be someone who wants to exploit that to other people, not just their partner.

4. Sexual exploitation:


When a partner thinks that they can make you do whatever they want in bed, this is displaying a narcissistic s*xual trait. They think that they can manipulate you into doing anything that they want.

Parents kept daughter in cage for 3 years because she suffered from convulsion

Channels TV tells a story of how parents in Bayelsa state kept their 16 year old daughter in a cage for three years because she suffered from convulsion. Read full story below...

A regular visitor to the home of Mr Selekeowei Olokumo, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria’s South-South region, would probably have noticed a small make shift building directly opposite his one bedroom apartment which could easily be mistaken for a generator cage.

To think it is a place where he stores his old and worn out property would not be out of place, as it was haphazardly built with wood and carton on what could be seen as a semi refuse dump site.

It was a feeling of shock when Channels Television realised that it was not for keeping his generator or other items but where his 16-year old daughter, Blessing Olokumo, had called home for almost three years.
Blessing is the 6th out of the 16 children of Mr and Mrs Olokumo; a twin who has no relationship with her twin sister, not because her twin sister was dead. she is simply ashamed of being associated with her.

She is not leprous, neither is she affected by any contagious disease. She is just a child who had convulsion when she was three years old and was not properly monitored by the medical doctors, so instead of outgrowing it as most children of her age would probably have done, she has since been battling with the condition.

One would expect her parents to be sympathetic to her plight and treat her with more care and attention, but the reverse has been the case, as Blessing is being treated with utmost disdain by those who are supposed to love her more.

She has been tagged the evil child, accused of being responsible for the death of her immediate siblings who were also twin girls. She has been abandoned by her parents in a cage for almost three years and left to God to decide her fate.

Luck smiled on Blessing when members of the Mary Slessor Twin Foundation, a foundation focused on the welfare of people of multiple birth heard of her plight and decided to intervene. She was rescued on January 25, 2014 in a very bad condition and has since been on admission at the Niger Delta Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri.

Blessing’s father, a security guard at the Niger Delta Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri was asked how he could do such to his flesh and blood. He simply stated without remorse that he was tired of looking after the girl.

“Why I kept her in this house is that when she defecates and urinates, she soils the whole house when the mother and myself are not around. So there’s nothing I can do again. I now isolated her from the apartment I’m living”, he said.

While one may be tempted to call her dad wicked, heartless and much more, one wonders what words would be adequate to describe her mother, Mrs Bernice Olokumo, a petty trader, who accused her daughter of being responsible for the death of her younger siblings who were also twin girls.

On her relationship with her daughter, she simply said she was afraid of her and appeals to the Government and other people of goodwill to come take Blessing from them, as they were tired of fending for their own child.

To ascertain the present condition of Blessing, Channels Television paid her a visit at the hospital and met a transformed girl. Gone were the tiny frame, bony knee and sunken eyes. A cheerful, robust and well fed child was what she had become, after just three months of love and care.

On the way forward regarding her medical bills and her future, efforts to speak with the doctors proved futile, but the President of the Mary Slessor Twin Foundation, Mr Ebitei Roberts, spoke.
“What we are working on is that after now when she is discharged, we want to take her to maybe a motherless babies’ home or any special school to rehabilitate her. With the way we are seeing things, if we take her back to the family, they will take her back to where she was and we don’t want that to repeat itself because we have spent money.”

The foundation has since lodged a formal complaint with the Police and the welfare department of the State Ministry of Women Affairs. The complaints list criminal charges of child abduction, inhuman treatment, child molestation and failure to enrol a child for proper education.

The Governor described the last one week as the most troubling of his tenure since he assumed office

"I have seen very serious moments since I became the Governor of Borno State in 2011 at a period of insurgent crisis. I have seen many innocent lives lost for no reason and I mourn every life lost with empathy and high sense of responsibility. But the last one week have been my worst days as a Governor and even the worst in my life. I am troubled as a father, as a leader and as a politician. So much is being done by rescue teams. There is very high commitment on the part of the Federal, State and Chibok local government authorities in working for the freedom of these innocent daughters of ours that are future leaders and mothers of future leaders” he said.

'Nothing interesting about being married except that it saves you money' - 2Shotz

Talking about what marriage has taught him in a recent interview with Punch, rapper 2shotz, who got married exactly one year ago, said there's really nothing interesting about married life except for companionship and the money it saves you...

"I have learnt a lot of things they just never tell you. There is no interesting thing about being married except for the companionship and it saves you some money. You no longer have to eat out and you don’t have to spend money on a couple of girls. Now, it’s just your wife. It also prevents you from doing some things that are either promiscuous or unnecessary".
His wife Precious also explained how they met on Twitter. People are really finding love on social media. Continue to read what she said...


Precious: I met him on Twitter. I can’t remember who followed who first, but I remember he put up a picture of his apartment and I commented without knowing who he was.  He thanked me and we got talking. We moved the conversation from Twitter to phone, then to Skype. I was in Ireland, came to Nigeria for Christmas and we met in person.

How would you describe being married?

Precious: It has been good and different because you have this person who is always telling you what to do. It took me time to get used to having to submit wholly .In Ireland, I started making my own money at age 16 and by the time I was 18, I had my own apartment. I had become used to being independent.


Is there anything you would like to change about each other?

2shotz: Her mouth. You know how women talk, they are never satisfied.

Precious: That I don’t like certain things about him does not mean I can’t live with it. But I will like him to be less stubborn. He is an Igbo man who is deeply rooted in the Igbo culture which makes him think in a certain way. At times, he is not willing to bend the rules just to make it happen. I am just learning the values and tradition of my people.

During Apartheid, he worked in an institute notorious for experimenting on humans. Apartheid may have ended, but people like Sunil are never out of work for too long. There is always someone devilish enough to require their skill-set. When the story begins, a prestigious research institute has brought him to Las Vegas to work on a project funded by the US military—to produce a drug controlling psychopathic behavior for humans.

It just so happens that when Detective Salazar discovers body dumps of murdered homeless men in the city, he calls Sunil to help him figure things out. Salazar has arrested a co-joined twins—named Water and Fire—found hanging around the crime scene. The twins are scary and mysterious, but they’re also adorable. Water is tall, drop-dead gorgeous and mellow. His brother, Fire, who is attached to his chest, is a blob of flesh sprouting two hands, but he is as feisty, talkative, and charming as a talk-show host. But Salazar doesn’t trust them one bit. He is convinced that they are either responsible for the body dumps or hiding something just as bad. But it doesn’t take long for the story to spin out of control as Sunil, Salazar, and the bizarre twin are drawn deeper and deeper into a dark, twisted tale of gruesome murders, freak shows, haunting desert ghost-towns, fatal betrayals, prostitution, forbidden love, and government conspiracy.

Abani brings his storytelling A-game, so the novel is bound to get you hooked from the start.

But feel free to dig deeper into the story for larger meanings, if you care about such things. We all know and love Abani for his novels, but the guy is also a brilliant thinker. Dude can philosophize for days. So while Secret History is straight up fun to read, if you’re hankering for deeper meanings about politics and history, there’s enough layers to unravel.

Ice Prince's dilemma; man wants him to perform at his wedding, but bride is his ex

Lol. The rapper wants to know how much you would charge if you're called to perform at your ex-girlfriend's wedding. Most people told him to do it for free as a gift to the ex...what do you think?

Don’t keep secrets…’: 12 relationship rules you should definitely ignore

Make sure you have alone time that doesn’t just consist of him sitting next to you while you watch Scandal each week, but don’t freak out if suddenly he can’t take you out on Friday.

Just because you broke up with someone in the past doesn’t mean your future relationship is doomed.

1. “Your partner should be your best friend.”

Your partner does not have to be your best friend. Your FRIENDS should be your friends. Your partner should have sex with you in bed (or elsewhere) and go to the hospital with you when your sister gives birth. If he doesn’t also braid your hair while you watch Frozen and enthuse over the dawning of rosĂ©-drinking season, that doesn’t mean your love isn’t true and deep.

2. “You have to be each other’s plus-one at every celebration or family event.”

If his friends are throwing a party, and you don’t know them that well and are coming down with the flu, stay home! He can function on his own. Send a nice note and a gift, and curl up with Sex and the City reruns, and don’t worry about it.

3. “Learn to enjoy doing things your partner loves.”

You don’t have to love the same things. If he loves golf and you do not, you do not have to watch golf with him. Just like you’d rather go to the BeyoncĂ© concert with someone who isn’t rolling his eyes in the corner, he’d rather watch golf with a fellow enthusiast.

4. “Never go to bed angry.”

Sometimes you need to sleep on it so you wake up and realize how silly you were both acting last night when you had a huge fight over who got all those crumbs in the couch crevices.

5. “Split chores evenly.”

If he does 90 percent of the laundry and that works for your lifestyle, GREAT! The balance of who does more housework will ebb and flow over the course of the relationship, and as long as you’re not stuck doing all of it, that’s just fine.

6. “Set aside one night a week for date night.”

It’s hard to keep to a set day each week. Make sure you have alone time that doesn’t just consist of him sitting next to you while you watch Scandal each week, but don’t freak out if suddenly he can’t take you out on Friday.

7. “Don’t keep secrets from each other.”

There are some things he doesn’t need to know. Like if your mom said she can’t believe he wore those shoes? Telling him will just hurt his feelings and potentially cause a big fight.

8. “If you break up and get back together, it will never work.”

Sometimes breakups make you realize how much you love a person and don’t want to be without him. Knowing how to forgive each other will only make your relationship stronger.

9. “Pick your battles.”

If something’s bothering you, say something. A lot of people tend to under-communicate in a relationship, which can lead to passive aggression.

10. “You shouldn’t have to ask someone to make time for you.”

Sometimes you need to tell someone what you need. And if you need more time together, there’s nothing wrong with asking your partner for it.

11. “Don’t listen to your friends.”

If ALL of your friends have the same gripe about someone you’re with, maybe you should listen to them.

12. “Don’t talk about your ex.”

While you shouldn’t go on and on about your past relationship, it’s fine for your current guy to know what your ex did that drove you crazy. Besides, people kind of like hearing about how much better they are than the last person their partner dated

7 most interesting Easter traditions around the world

For some people, Easter is something more than just numerous sweet cakes, painted eggs and chocolate bunnies.

Soon all Christians around the world will celebrate Easter that is considered to be one of the greatest religious holidays. There are so many reasons due to which most of us look forward to this special day. First of all, it is a wonderful time when we gather with our friends and relatives to enjoy festive and cheerful atmosphere in our homes. The main idea of this marvelous holiday is Jesus Christ’s resurrection and the beginning of new life. For some people, Easter is something more than just numerous sweet cakes, painted eggs and chocolate bunnies. In order to realize all the significance of this religious event they keep fasting that traditionally starts 40 days before Good Friday. When finally Easter comes, lots of people attend early church services and then they regale themselves with various tasty foods and have fun with their families. It seems that we know everything about Easter and its celebration, however there are some interesting and unusual Easter traditions from different countries that will certainly surprise you. Take a look at the list below to get more information about them.

1. Let Them Eat Egg

Eggs have become an indispensable part of our festive menu at Easter. Traditionally, we paint them and use to decorate our Easter table or other places of our home. Besides, chocolate eggs are extremely popular these days and they are generally served as a dessert on this day. Perhaps, you’ll be astonished to know that in some countries omelette is the dish number one cooked to celebrate this unique holiday. For example, this is one of the biggest Easter traditions that are observed across France. A lot of festivals are organized at the central squares of most towns where people cook a huge omelette using about 5000 eggs and as a result this dish is enough to feed almost 1,000 people.

2. Don’t Let Men Knead the Dough

The Easter bread is a traditional and the most popular food that represents the sacred meaning of the holiday. All the women are expected to bake this sweet and delicious cake for their family members. There is such a tradition in Poland according to which men are forbidden to make the Easter bread as it is believed that the dough will not rise when they knead it.

3. Lords of the Dance

If you go to a small town of Bacup that is situated in the North of England, you’ll have an incredible opportunity to discover another unusual Easter tradition. All the visitors can watch the Nutter’s Dance on Easter Saturday. In spite of the strange name this dance has, you will not see any mad people there. At first, this strange tradition appeared in the town in the 18th century. Here you will be fascinated with a fantastic folk dance performed by a group of men dressed in skirted black, white and red costumes with special garlands on their necks. Usually, there is the Whiffler in front of the dancers who cracks his whip. It is believed that in such way he will ward off evil spirits. This dance is considered to come from Moorish sailors who settled on that territory long time ago. But nobody can explain why this event happens on Easter Saturday.

4. Domestic Violence Is Good for You


If you are greatly concerned about your health and beauty, this funny Easter tradition is exactly for you. It is mostly popular with countries such as Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. Easter Monday is the day when the men can pour water on girls and even spank them with a whip of willow. People of these countries are strongly convinced that this tradition will help them to become more beautiful and healthier. It should be mentioned that most countries where an Orthodox population prevails tend to keep this celebration. We just can notice slight differences on certain areas.

5. Beware Greeks Throwing Pots

Due to the fact that Easter is the most significant holiday in the Orthodox calendar, dozens of festivals are held in Greece during Easter time. If you are eager to see the most interesting and weird traditions of this country, you’d better go to Corfu where the citizens throw their pots and crockery out of the windows. You should be extremely careful while going near their houses as it can be dangerous to your health. You can witness this strange tradition on Easter Saturday. What is the origin of such an unusual behavior Greeks demonstrate every year? Unfortunately, you will not find any clear explanation of this odd tradition as there are several theories concerning it. For instance, some people claim that by throwing pots out of their homes they reject Judas, while others believe that this tradition will help them to get rid of evil. The rest of Greeks are sure this custom symbolizes the change of the season so they must be ready for spring and summer without old things in their houses.

6. Reading Detectives


I think this is the strangest Easter tradition I’ve ever heard about. Even if you are not much interested in Norway and its culture I advise you to get more information about this unusual custom. Do you know that in this country Easter is a bank holiday celebrated for 5 days? All the shops and state offices are closed at this time. Consequently, Norwegians stay at home with their families and they can’t find any other way to celebrate Easter but to read plenty of detective stories. You shouldn’t expect to see anything different on TV these days because crime thrillers are frequently broadcasted on every channel. And finally you’ll be surprised to see juice or milk cartons with printed mystery stories on their sides.

7. Egg Knocking


It is typical of most Christian countries to practice the lucky egg game on Easter. To my mind, this activity is worth trying in every family, especially if you have kids, as it will bring them joy and pleasure. For this you need to take hardboiled eggs and try to break them in all possible ways. If you have an unbroken egg at the end of this game, you will be lucky and happy throughout the next year. Every country performs this cheerful tradition in its own special way and this game has different names around the world. Though, egg knocking or egg tapping are the most widely used words for this activity.
