Boko Haram: 'The real Shekau is dead'- Nigerian Army insists
He said another man who has been presenting himself as Shekau was wounded recently
“I can confirm to you that the original Shekau was killed, the second Shekau was killed, and the man presenting himself as Shekau, I can also confirm to you that few days ago, he was wounded. We are yet to confirm whether he is dead or not. They released videos to prove that they are still active, but that’s just a facade”he said
Eww...cockroach runs over a girl's body as she films a sexy video...but she ignores it...lol
Relationship expert reveals the 21 questions that should tell you if your relationship is going to last
Tracey Cox, a relationship expert who also writes for Daily Mail has
revealed 21 questions which should give an indication of where a
relationship is headed. In summary, she says love is not enough, you
should like someone, their personality and traits if you're to be happy
together. You should also be able to open up to one another even if the
thought doesn't feel right, and you should also cherish the company of
each other. She also says you should argue a lot, it shows you care but
you should also sort the issue out quickly and move on, also, the
success of a partner should make you happy if you're really into each
other.
Public displays of affection are a healthy sign and the relationship should always come first before anything else.
See the 21 questions below.
If you don’t like your partner’s family (and they do), you can issue a ‘me or them’ ultimatum or make their life exceedingly difficult by being rude to family members.
Or you can make a pact with yourself to be warm, kind and respectful and make it work.
No prizes for guessing which is going to score you more points with your significant other!
See the 21 questions below.
1. If you had to repeat the last six months of your relationship on a loop, forever, how would that make you feel?
If your answer is ‘I’d want to throw myself out the nearest window’, it’s clearly not a good sign.
No relationship is happy all of the time, so if you’ve just had a particularly rough six months, think of the six months before that.
Ideally though, the correct answer is obviously ‘Great!’

Ideally though, the correct answer is obviously ‘Great!’
2. If you could have sex on the side and be guaranteed not be caught, would you do it?
It’s totally normal to instantly think ‘Sex with someone new would be bloody lovely!’ if you’ve been together a long time.
But this should be quickly followed by ‘But I wouldn’t do it to my partner. I couldn’t look them in the eye afterwards’.

But this should be quickly followed by ‘But I wouldn’t do it to my partner. I couldn’t look them in the eye afterwards’.
3. You might love your partner but do you actually like them?
Love is a strong, deep, powerful emotion that is based on our erotic blueprints, primal instinct, history, healthy (and unhealthy) behaviour patterns and attractiveness.
You don’t actually need to like someone to be in love with them.
Liking someone means liking their personality, admiring and respecting them, wanting to spend time with them.
If you weren’t with your partner, would you choose them as a friend?

4. Are you reasonably honest about sex?
We all have the odd dodgy fantasy we don’t care to share but if your partner had to describe what you like and don’t like in bed, would they come up with a pretty accurate picture?

5. Are you both happy with what’s happening sexually?
It doesn’t matter how much sex you’re having, so long as you’re both happy with what’s going on.
Some couples have low sex drives and little interest in sex - this doesn’t mean their relationship isn’t good.
So long as there’s lots of affection, sex isn’t being withheld as punishment or one partner is blamed for not wanting it, mutual agreement is more important.

6. Would you choose to marry or be with your partner if you were given the choice now?
Knowing what you know now about your partner - their quirky habits, the way they cope with stress, all the luggage they come with, how they are when they’re tired, how they wake up, how they sleep, their good bits and bad – would you recommit?
If the answer is yes, you’re in good shape.

7. Do you think about your partner a lot when you’re not together?
Research shows the more often you think about your partner when you’re apart, the more in love you feel.

8. Are you genuinely pleased for them when they achieve something or have good news?
Assume your partner’s just been given a hard won promotion.
What’s your response?
Positive responses are ‘active-constructive’ ('That’s fantastic. All that hard work paid off and I am so proud of you!') or ‘passive-constructive’ (a heartfelt smile or hug and ‘That’s brilliant news’.)
Not so good reactions: feeling jealous, lashing out ('Great. That means you’ll have even less time to spend with me and the kids’) or bringing it back to you ('Really? Well, my boss just told me I did the best presentation he’d seen’).

9. Do you argue?
Some happy couples manage to negotiate their way through life together without ever having a cross word.
But if you care passionately about someone, they have the power to upset you by their behaviour.
If you don’t argue, it often means that one person is too scared to disagree for fear or losing the other.
The odd argument is the sign of a healthy relationship where you both feel free to speak your own mind.

10. Do you recover quickly after an argument?
Sulking for days on end, feeling secretly resentful or bitter, making your partner ‘pay’ for what they’ve done, bringing up old hurts every time you argue about something new…all of these things destroy relationships.
Couples who sort out their issues completely, do what it takes to repair the damage and then drop it and move on, are the ones who last the distance.

11. Are you affectionate with each other?
Kissing, hugging, snuggling up, holding hands, acknowledging your partner in public with some kind of physical touch – this is one of the most important cornerstones of connection.

12. Do you put the relationship first?
Sure, other things sometimes need to be prioritised (work, sick parents or children, upset friends) but couples with the highest relationship satisfaction say their relationship generally takes first priority.
This also means making the time to do nice things together to make sure the relationship is nurtured and cared for.

13. How many good times do you have compared to bad times?
The healthy ratio, according to US relationship guru, John Gottman, is 5:1.
You need five good times for every one bad time to be happy.

14. Do you defend your partner in public?
I’m not talking about a gentle teasing when you’re out with friends but if someone says something nasty about them, whose side are you on?
If you’re in a great relationship, your natural instinct will be to defend them against criticism.

15. Do you both apologise easily?
Nothing diffuses a volatile situation faster than the words ‘I’m sorry’.
Even if you think it wasn’t your fault, you can say something like, ‘I’m so sorry you’re upset’.
Pointing the finger of blame at each other with neither prepared to back down will catapult you into the divorce courts.

16. Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?
Is your relationship more about competitive point scoring than wanting the other to be happy?
This is a crucial component of happy couples: they’ll do pretty much anything to stop their partner feeling distressed.
Stubbornly sitting on your high horse and refusing to budge won’t get either of you anywhere.

17. If your partner’s irritable or in a bad mood, do you automatically
go on the defensive and feel personally attacked or think about other
things that may have affected their mood?
Not feeling well, a bad night’s sleep, too much alcohol, work pressure, worry about parents, arguments with friends – all of these things affect our mood.
Not taking everything personally is a good sign.

18. Do you expect your partner to fulfill all of your needs?
However fantastic they are, no one person can satisfy all of our needs, all of the time.
Happy couples realise this and have other sources of support and stimulation like friends, hobbies, family, career etc.

19. Do you check in on a regular basis but also give each other room to breathe?
While too much space isn’t healthy (most couples check in at least once or twice a day when apart), having to check in every hour (minute, second) to soothe a partner’s insecurity does not make for happy long-term love.

20. Do you have pet names for each other?
Other people might cringe, but research suggests couples that call each other by affectionate nicknames and have lots of private jokes are more bonded than those who don’t.

Photos: Lagos state govt demolishes shops in Ikoyi after landlord fails to pay N40m permit
"This is my country. This is Nigeria. @akinwunmiambode @lagosstategovt Who protects the small businesses trying to do HONEST work in this disgustingly corrupt nation? With no warning, @nulijuice and all the shops on this strip were bulldozed down because the landlord apparently did not pay a 40 million Naira permit.
The tenants found out about this this morning and 1 hr later their sweat and blood was turned rubble. No warning! How can this nation ever be great? We need to start a conversation about this mess. Who is next??? What has this nation ever done for SME's like us? Absolutely nothing but frustrate our efforts. But during your political campaigns you proudly advertise Maki Oh as one of the nation's exports. You have done nothing for us!!! How can we be great? This is not a country."

"I married my husband so people could stop calling me an evil mistress'- says Ese Walter who had an affair with COZA pastor
"When I agreed to marry him two and a half years ago, I didn't love him. Heck I didn't love my own self. I just needed a change of story. I needed to stop being the girl everyone called an evil mistress and "graduate" to somebody's Mrs. I thought the Mrs title was going to save my ass and bring me some sort of redemption. I was wrong.
Calling what happened next a disaster is putting it mildly. Weeks into living together brought out the worse in both of us. I thought I made a mistake. I didn't trust him so why was I married to him. We would argue over everything and I convinced myself I wanted out despite the baby on the way. In therapy I was able to face my own demons for the first time. I realised it was never about him or the other guys I dated. I was always looking for a fix outside of myself. I was always needing someone to take away the pain and save my lonely self. I was looking for what I wasn't because I thought that could heal me.
Months of living outside my comfort zone and going where the pain was brought me face to face with my demons that saved me. I didn't trust him because I didn't trust me. I couldn't love him because I had no love to give. I was always blaming him because it was easier to project than take responsibility. As I started to evolve and see my own self, I was able to see him for the first time. As I started loving myself, I was able to love him and now as I learn to trust myself, I am trusting him, one day at a time. As I lay beside him last night I remembered a quote I read sometime ago. I don't remember who said it but it read, "when you love the one you got, the one you got becomes the one you love." When I stopped trying to change him and let him be, I was able to give room for his own evolving. He ain't perfect. Who wants perfect anyways? I am learning that all is as it should be in the Universe, there are no mistakes only feedback. The Universe brought the one I needed for my evolving and I am thankful. GRATITUDE is my dominant feeling this morning. If you are struggling with the one you love, know that the world's standard of love is fucked up. Vibrate higher and love because of love.
Pattaya, the World's largest lawless red light district in Thailand with 27,000 prostitutes (photos)
'It has a reported 27,000 prostitutes, but is also where some people go to find a wife. On arrival, I saw hundreds of usually extremely overweight older white western men walk around with young Thai girlfriends.It’s a city full of white men, there one to every three Thai men.
There’s also white sand, luxury white condos, teeth whitening dentists
everywhere and make-up adverts promising to whiten Thai girls skin.
Shop wise, take your pick from McDonald’s, Dollhouse A Go Go, Just for
Fun, Lucky Finger Massage, Angelwitch, Ladyboys R US, 7-11, Starbucks,
The Classroom, Sabai Massage, Sue’s Place (now repeat that 30 times,
slightly alter the names and that’s Pattaya for you).
At a bar called Kangaroo Korner, I chat to a man from Melbourne,
Australia, who says: “I prefer Thai women … I’ve been burned too many
times by women back home.”“I know it’s just about the money for them, I
am not looking for love.”
When I question his motivations he replies: “Mate, you are overthinking
things — just enjoy yourself, relax, and have another drink with me.”
The next day I head to Pattaya Beach’s ‘strip’, where I meet a
50-year-old Australian guy who met his first wife there 12 years ago.
They had two kids and got divorced three weeks before. Now he is engaged
to a 23-year-old Thai woman he met ten days ago.He tells me:
“Thai women they are subservient. Don’t get me wrong I don’t like them being as subservient as they are … but they cook and clean, they really look after you. I do like that… but now I’ve got this girl, we met ten days ago, I can already tell it’s going to work. But you know my wife and children hate me, even my friends think I am an a***hole. The way I look at it, I only have 20 years left of living, I want to be able to enjoy my life.”
Next I head to the notorious Windmill venue. Thai women are on the stage dressed tiny tartan skirts.
None are wearing underwear or bras and all are wearing high heels.
The white men sit around the stage, laughing, guzzling beer: hitting and
poking them with bar-supplied, beer-branded, polystyrene-foam sticks.'
'A naked young woman is staring at me with her unblinking glass eye as
she casually performs a sex act on herself in the nightclub’s shower.
I ask a punter whether the city is doing anyone – men, sex workers – any harm.'
He replies:
“Lots of Western guys are here for different reasons. If we get a jealous Thai ex-lover, or if a woman here is connected to a gang, or tries to kill you for your money — of course, that’s why you should never get too involved. This place is just about stress relief, especially if you are a divorcee like me.”
I ask about the prostitutes’ welfare.'
He replies:
“It works for them mate, trust me, they get a lot of money out of this.”
The following night, I spot a sex worker who is begging. She’s got a cut
and bruise across a quarter of her face, but refuses to go to the
police.'
