Controversial relationship blogger, Blessing Okoro has addressed women about what they should offer apart from sex to climb a ladder with a man.
According to her, as a woman, a man is that ladder that you will use to climb to your destination. She also asked women what they have to offer apart from sex.
“Sex is something everybody can give, what can you give apart from sex?
Most of you don’t think or reason, find out that thing you can give to people apart from sex.
As a woman, men are your ladders. A man is that ladder that you’ll use to climb to your destination.
Some of you will climb with the ladder, some of you will stay with the ladder, some of you will fall with the ladder, some of you will will let the ladder fall on top of your head, but a smart woman will climb with ladder.” she said.

At a point in the history of man’s existence, kings battled with one another for supremacy. These battles were also about protecting and giving the best to their people.
Many years after, things have taken a different turn. The same energies used to fight those supremacy wars is a unifying factor for kingdoms now. Everyone is working together to give the best and provide optimal satisfaction for their people.
Recently, two kings – itel Mobile and Olamide came together to give people the best of both kingdoms. The arrangement unites both kings and makes Olamide the face of the joint kingdom. For the enjoyment of everyone around them.
Interestingly, the partnership creates a strong kingdom where love, compassion, and the shared creation of value shape how people live their lives in the kingdom. And both brands are stronger together as one united family.
“We are delighted to have Olamide in the itel Mobile family at this time. The choice of Olamide as the face of our brand is based on the many similarities between both brands. Both brands are Real Kings, blessed with a community of hardworking and aspirational individuals.” said Oke Umurhohwo, Marketing Communications Manager (West Africa), itel Mobile, on the partnership.
itel and Olamide appeal to the same market. Their offerings (smartphones and songs) are shaped by the need to enhance people’s lifestyles and aid in their quest for success. And inclusion isn’t a problem- there is room for everyone to join and enjoy a world powered by both brands.
Because the relationship isn’t about domination, the real kings rule with the interest of the people at heart. It is the people first, and this contributes to the value and impact of the partnership between the smartphone brand for everyone and the famous Afro-pop artist.
The itel and Olamide partnership spices things up for people in the kingdom. And these real kings are more than ready for a long rule together in one kingdom. To serve you better.
NOllywood Actress, Didi Ekanem has advised ladies to use their body to serve God while they still can.
According to the beautiful screen diva, ladies should stop using their beauty for the wrong reasons other than the kingdom purpose
Her post reads ;
Do you ever just wonder why God created you with a special kind of beauty ? A special kind of beauty is a rare gift of beauty.
The kind of beauty that commands influence, attention. A self promoting beauty. The kind of beauty that has a voice. Not every woman is gifted with this kind of beauty.
Amongst all the beautiful women in the Bible, only 2 women had this kind of beauty…. Sarah and Bethsheba. Sarah was overwhelmingly beautiful. Her beauty made her famous amongst the Egyptians. Everyone who saw her fell in love with her. Her beauty was self promoting.
•
•
Any woman who is gifted with this kind of beauty should understand that you are given the beauty for a kingdom purpose. Stop using your beauty for the wrong reasons. Stop using your beauty for material gains. Stop misusing the gift of your beauty. •
•
Some of you have rejected God who gave you that beauty. You have rejected His ways. You don’t want to submit to God after all the opportunities your beauty has given you. You won’t even pray or worship God. You have become so busy for the things of God because you are always booked. •
•
I tell you, it is very dangerous to have the gift of beauty if you don’t know God and you don’t have humility because everyone will want a piece of you. Beauty has a prize and if you do not know God, that beauty will kill the purpose you are here on earth for. Your body is the temple of God that is why God took His time to decorate you with beauty. •
•
As a woman, you are very powerful and influential. Your beauty is your power. Use your power to influence men to the kingdom of God and you will be greatly rewarded. Don’t allow satan to use your beauty to sell his kingdom. Use your influence as a woman to glorify God. And I pray that God will help to realise the purpose of your beauty and use it wisely. ?

The Big Brother Naija 2020 audition is here.
Seven success tips have been highlighted by ex-housemates for intending housemates of Big Brother Naija 2020.
For every reality TV show, contestants try to seek success tips ahead of the auditioning as no one is sure of what character Big Brother actually wants in his house.
As known, the audition process offers the chance to every contestant to stand out and prove just why the public should be tuning into you each week for the duration of the show.
Here are seven success tips that will be useful for you at the Big Brother Naija 2020 auditions.
1. You need to be confident
Every contestant aiming to pass through the audition to the next stage must be confident all through the given period. Reality show experts believe it’s normal to be easy but it’s best to make it known and overcome it.
Part of being confident is wearing something memorable but not crazy. Contestants don’t need to wear a costume or three-piece suit that you ordinarily don’t wear or not comfortable in. Wear something you are comfortable in as this will boost your confidence which is key to success.
2. Be yourself and embrace your personality in totality.
Every contestant must understand that his/her imperfections could set him/her apart from the lot. According to an reality show casting expert, Sarah Monson, flaunt your being and embrace it in totality.
If you have big boobs, tattoos, big bums, fat, slim, thick, light skinned, dark skinned or a biracial, hide your figure, skin colour or person, rather, show them off. Lastly, being fake is very obvious to the casting judges, hence, they’re also not impressed by weird stunts.
3. Be honest all through.
Most individuals, who lie about their person, life history or answer questions with fake responses hardly go far. The biggest deal-breaker in the business is a lie. A criminal record or embarrassing past won’t make casting directors rule you out, but lying about them will.
4. Be prepared to sell your uniqueness.
There’s obviously something unique about you and that is why you will be found intriguing and probably chosen by the judges. Do you have six toes? A lazy eye? Anger management issues? All these are not deal breakers, as they just might be the ‘it’ factor to get into the Big Brother House.
5. Show your talent.
One thing you need to bring to the audition venue is your A game. Every contestant needs to pick a succinct script and stick to it. another way to go about this is to think about a person who might be your polar opposite housemate if picked and this will help the casting judge see where you can fit in Big Brother House.
6. Get a business plan and strategy ready.
From BamBam to Bisola and Lolu, ex-housemates have agreed that there is every need to have a business plan or strategy ready. Experts further said contestants must have a strong opinion if they plan on getting cast for the Big Brother Naija. Interestingly, the opinion or strategy can be anything, just stick with it and follow through with it and never deter.
7. Be polite.
All contestants need every need to be in their best behaviour. Not because they will all be chosen but because you never know when a polite act might be the only card you need to get into the Big Brother House.
