The society has placed a burden on a lot of Nigerian women so much so that they make them feel incomplete until they are married and in a man’s house. While this shouldn’t be acceptable in the world of today, it is something a lot of Nigerians hold dear due to cultural and traditional norms.
The moment a woman gets to a certain age, there are high expectations from friends and family for them to get married. Parents expect you to get married and give them grandchildren while all your friends see you as the only one left and repeatedly tell you that it’s time for you to get married which makes you feel left out.
This results in a lot of women becoming desperate to get married and fit into the expectations of the society. Furthermore, this causes women to go the extra mile to lie and trick available men into marriage.
Below are some of the lies and tricks women employ to lead men into marriage when they get desperate.
1. The ‘I’m A Virgin’ card
Believe it or not, some men still have a warped mindset and want to get married to virgins. When some women realise this, they simply claim to be virgins to deceive such men into believing they are one.
Women that do this are smart enough to refuse having sex with such men until they make a marriage commitment saying that they are saving their virginity for the man they love.
Ever wonder if that nice guy is flirting with you? There are a few proven ways that can tell you if he is interested in you. While it’s difficult to read body language at times, it’s possible if you know where to start.
Here are 10 ways that men unconsciously and even consciously let you know that they like you. Take a look, see what you see and maybe you will find your love right now.
1. Lovely smile
A lovely smile is actually a good sign and, when it comes to flirting, it’s one of the surest signs he is interested in you.
If you notice that he is smiling at you, there’s a good chance he likes you and wants to approach you. Maybe he is shy, so why not show him your confidence and courage by approaching him first? Of course, if you like him.
After all, there is nothing to be ashamed of if you approach a man first. Just smile back and initiate a conversation with him.
In the afternoon hours of today, images emerged online of an Owl that was allegedly killed inside Lagos market, after it was branded a “witch“.
The controversial media personality reacts to the effect by sharing the above photo of the Owl, and saying people should stop going to churches that blame everything on evil spirits.
He wrote:
“Stop going to those stupid churches that tell you to kill owls and cats! ~FRZ
Look at this backward thinking, vapid headed people, posing proudly with the carcass of a poor bird they killed, because of their benighted dogma, which labeled the poor creature a witch.
If there was any justice in the World, these morons would be behind bars, but living in a 3rd world country only serves to fuel these acts of cruelty.
According to an eyewitness report; “So I was inside the Ikotun market today to get some foodstuff when I heard people shouting blood of Jesus, some speaking in tongues. I turned back to see this beautiful owl trying to escape from a shop. The man in this picture hacked it down with a thick rod. Everyone said it is a witch in bird form.”
It’s just an Owl guys, it’s not that serious, stop killing Nigeria’s birds and stop going to those stupid churches that blame everything on evil spirits”
On Wednesday, 19th of October, 2016, Head of states, President Muhammed Buhari met with the 21 released Chibok girls and their families at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The head of states took a group photo with them – according to journalist Tolu Ogunlesi, the 21 girls sang the National Anthem louder than everyone else and one of them said: “We don’t have anything to say again, only thank you“.
Two robbers who have been terrorizing the residents of Okeletu area of Ijede Ikorodu have reportedly been arrested.
According to Facebook user, Demu Isiaka, who shared photos of the police arresting the criminals, they were arrested on Thursday, 13th October after a failed operation in the area.
What a glorious occasion that service would have been – a woman, earlier this week, was delivered of a child while a deliverance service was ongoing at the Dunamis International Gospel in Abuja.
Dr Becky Enenche, the wife of Dr Paul Enenche, Senior Pastors of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, worldwide posted the good news on social media, writing:
“During the Healing and Deliverance Service of yesterday, a lady who had come for the service went into labour and was delivered of this bouncing, beautiful baby at the medical unit. Indeed she brought forth like the Hebrew women – in less than 30 minutes everything was over! Beloved, I declare to you, as you connect to this testimony, you shall conceive and bring forth with ease in Jesus’ Name! I shall hear your testimony!”
An “egocentric” mother who murdered her eight-year-old son in cold blood, after the lad allegedly found out she was having an affair with his grandfather, has been jailed for 30 years in Italy.
Veronica Panarello throttled her son Loris Stival with electrical cables and abandoned his body in a remote gully in Santa Croce, Sicily.
Panarello had tried to pretend her son had been abducted, telling police she had taken him to school and that he had disappeared by the time she came to collect him in the afternoon.
Police began to suspect the boy’s mother, judge Andrea Reale was told, when CCTV footage at the school did not back up her story. She was found guilty of the boy’s murder and of concealing a body.
Prosecutors branded her an ‘egocentric, manipulative liar.’ When Panarello confessed that her son had been killed, she blamed her husband’s father Andrea Stival.
She told an earlier hearing that he had helped to plot and then carried out the murder because Loris had caught them having sex. Stival is being investigated as an accessory to murder, reports Italian media.
A lot of people, females most especially, have shared their dreadful domestic violence stories and most violators according to them, are men… It’s a different case for Damisa Edwards who shares how she was brutalized for 5 years by her aunt.
According to her,
“Two years ago I would get to work with tears in my eyes, pain in my heart and body, marks on my face and body. A doctor’s appointment was an everyday medication. The doctors insisted I get my husband arrested(I wasn’t even married). I wanted to leave, but I had nowhere to go, was I going to live on the 3rdmainland bridge? So I endured all the pains of domestic violence from my aunt till I got punched in the eye resulted to internal eye bleeding and a knife was pulled out to take my life away…’God was my strength’ I had gone through this for five good years, I was 22 and couldn’t get home a lil bit after 7pm without a slap to say me welcome, i couldn’t even go on official trips without her fists coming out to play, I couldn’t even have friends over I was still being beaten like a slave and a 2yr Old Child! I moved out with Nuin in my pocket, just my bestfriend and sister @teema_diva (little wonder why I love u so much) by my side and prayers. Hey I ain’t dead but alive, might have been but I took a chance and a leap of faith, say NO TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, it’s better late than never. I still have my scars but they only remind to be stronger whenever I feel like giving up. I CAN SPEAK BECAUSE I AINT DEAD. SEEK HELP IF YOU MUST, STOP SUFFERING IN SILENCE.#thinkaboutyou”
There’s virtually no one who has access to a Television that does not know the Nigerian hit TV series… You don’t even need a prepaid cable network to view as it’s aired on most local TV stations…

Meanwhile, In an interview with Nkechi Chima of The Sun, the mother of one disclosed why she hasn’t starred in any movie since her marriage.
She said:
“I have not worked in any production after marriage because I have been busy in my primary duties as a wife and mother. I need adequate time to build a solid foundation for my family and for a sustainable home. And I hope to be back in no distant time.”
“As a married woman a lot of things change in your life. Of course, you must have some sense of responsibility in decision making, because it is not just about your life anymore, you have a family to take care of. So, for the respect I have for my head, who is my husband and my neck, who is my son, I can’t play certain roles anymore. And I don’t have any regrets because my family comes first in all I do.”
Nigerian actor and lawmaker, Desmond Elliot has called on all well-meaning Nigerians to come to the rescue of veteran actor, James Uche who has been seriously sick for many years now and struggling to survive.

One can’t help but laugh after reading this hilarious saga between a man and his lover’s stalker, who has been pestering her even when he knows she’s occupied with someone else…
The man in red in the photo above, replied a pervert who was sending sex-texts to his girlfriend’s Facebook account with a photo of him in her frilly yellow knickers.
The intruder knew the lady, Jessica Davidson was in a relationship but still went on sending the suggestive messages, so Karl Hughes, 28, decided to intervene – with hilarious consequences.
When Karl – posing as Jessica – offered the creep ‘sexy underwear’ photos, he donned a pair of Jessica’s yellow size 12 French knickers and replied with the caption: ‘There ya go darling’…
Lol… Now the interloper has to live with this distasteful image in his head anytime he thinks of the lady… Hehehe…
So there’s no need to wonder any longer as the media personality has bluntly shown that she’s ready to give betrothal another shot following the crash of her first just a year and some months after the marriage.
The beauty shared a photo of highly influential couple, Barack and Michelle Obama who are her model couple and wrote an open letter to her future hubby, saying she ‘would go to war with him’ and he should come ‘correct’.

When I was young I told myself that @ a certain age I will be one man babe….along d line I went into setting my goals (relationship wise), I’ve dated guys who were Christians and just two Muslims.
The Christian guys I have dated so far, don’t do the things that should be done in a relationship, it is either one is lazy, rude, had nonchalant attitude,etc my relationship does last long,so have been searching for the right one.
Last 2-3years I dated another Christian guy all in the name of “religion” the guy is ohk but it seems to me that I was d one driving d relationship, d guy can’t do anything without involving me, I am always the one trying to put him in shape, if am nt around him he looses force, you know, am always the one trying to make things work…and each time I do this I always brings it to his notice that he is not doing what a real man should do, for this years I kept on complaining, still no changes. I had no other option then to break up with him.
Right now am in relationship with one of d Muslim guy, we’ve dated before we had issue so we broke up and now we r back together and he wants to settle down with me, yes of course this guy is not giving me all that I want but he is trying, he gets pissed @ me when am wrong, apologize when he is wrong, he is very hard working, he encourage me to be independent, he is even trying to fix me(business wise), I am not saying he is perfect but he is trying to be a perfectionist, with him I can feel a true relationship.
Personally I don’t have any issue getting married to him,thou he as made his intentions clear that he won’t allow me go to church, and I have concluded within me that I Will change to his religion(I didn’t tell him this) as far as I am concern we are good to go but I don’t think my family will b in support because he is a Muslim.
Pls I need advice what do you think I should do? No insult pls your opinion and advice will be useful pls.

The police in Lagos State have arrested a man, identified only as Nathaniel, for allegedly drugging and raping his 14-year-old housemaid in the Ikotun area of the state.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Nathaniel, who stayed on Ajisegiri Street, in the Egbe area, was arrested by the Ikotun Police Division on Sunday.
It was gathered that the suspect allegedly lured his housemaid, Chinwe (pseudonym), with a cup of juice penultimate Monday, which contained a sedative.
The two persons were reportedly alone in the apartment on the day.
The victim, who is an orphan, was brought from a village in the south eastern part of Nigeria to work in Nathaniel’s house.
It was said that when she woke up, she found that she was Unclad.
She also reportedly found Fluid in her private parts.
Our correspondent gathered that after the incident, Chinwe fled the house, dropping a letter for the suspect’s wife to intimate her on the sexual abuse she (Chinwe) had allegedly suffered.
It was learnt that the teenager also confided in a neighbour, who is a pastor in the area.
The pastor was said to have informed a child rights’ organisation, which in turn reported at a police station.
In the letter obtained by PUNCH Metro, Chinwe wrote that she did not want to return to the house as she was fed up with sexual abuses allegedly by Nathaniel.
She said, “Dear aunty, I want to go. I am suffering here. Look at what your husband has been doing to me. The last time that he did it, he gave me a drink and I did not know that he purposely gave me that drink so that I could fall asleep.
“It was when I woke up that I now found myself Unclad. I now saw white thing on my laps. This is what he was doing to me the other time that I told you that I wanted to go. I do not want to cause trouble for you. Please, call my brother to come and take me away. I want to go and I do not want to stay here again.”
A source with the Child Protection Network, where the pastor reported the case, said, “The man is over 40 years old. He employed the victim as a domestic help.
“He had been sexually abusing the 14-year-old victim. On that Monday, he drugged her juice. That day was a public holiday. When she slept off, he raped her.
“She ran away from the house, because she did not want trouble for the man’s wife. Nathaniel has been arrested by the police. The Family Support Unit of the police is handling the matter.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed Nathaniel’s arrest.
She said, “The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has directed that the case be charged to court.”

The Police in Bayelsa state has rescued a little girl identified as Goodness, who was brutalized with a hot boiling ring, by her father and stepmother for always “bedwetting”.
A Muslim lady who was lashed 40 times for wearing a miniskirt got revenge on her suppressors by setting up her own successful bikini brand.
Tala Raassi was just 16 when she was brutally beaten by the Basij, a hard-line Islamic militant group in Iran. The group, who consider themselves as defenders of Islam, found Tala dressed in a short skirt, tight top and wearing make-up and nail polish.
They also found at her friend’s home what they deemed inappropriate material, such as videos, satellite TV and posters from the show 90210.
The teenager, along with her friend, were brought to the Vozara detention centre in the Iranian capital of Iran, where the girls were beaten 40 times each.
Despite her family not being able to speak English, her family relocated to the US in 1998 where she has since established her own fashion line.
Despite her success, the 35-year-old says she has received some backlash over her job.
Tala said:
“There’s a lot of controversy because I’m a Muslim woman who designs bathing suits and everyone is very quick to judge.
They say, how dare you design bathing suits? How is it empowering? But it’s not about that. I design bathing suits because I love them, and that’s what I chose to pick in the fashion industry.
Freedom is not about what you put on or take off, it’s about having the choice to do so.”

A 41-year-old woman, who was apprehended by policemen attached to the Area ‘J’ Command, Ajah, Lagos State, for allegedly hiring assassins to kill her husband of 14 years over a disagreement which led to their separation, has said she was a frustrated housewife but that she only sent the thugs to beat him.
The suspect, Mrs. Chika Orji, was arrested following a confessional statement by one of the suspected assassins, Bright Ikechukwu, who was arrested while attempting to break into Mr. Orji’s apartment at Jakande Estate, Ajah.
During preliminary investigation, it was discovered that one of those hired for the botched assassination was a carpenter, identified as Ekene, who usually worked for Mr. Orji. During interrogation, Mrs Orji, a mother of four, denied sending thugs to kill her husband. Rather, she stated that she only told them to beat him, to teach him a lesson for always beating her.
According to her,
“we got married 14 years ago and are blessed with three daughters and a son. All of a sudden, my husband became a wife beater. He would beat me, leaving me with swollen face and would also threaten to kill me.
He chased me out of the house three years ago. I made several efforts to get my children back, part of which was to report him to human rights offices for settlement. But he did not honour any of the invitations. Both families have made attempts to settle us, but he would not listen. “He was served with a court warrant over the issue, but he also refused to show up. Along the line, he sold the house we both built for N85 million, but never gave me any dime.
He also stopped our children from visiting me and any attempt to see them always resulted in beating. Out of frustration, I told Ekene, our carpenter, to beat him up. I did not pay him or hire anyone to kill him. I am a frustrated woman and I am sorry for everything.”
‘She paid us to kill him’ However, the arrested suspect, Bright Ikechukwu, insisted that he was contracted by Ekene to kill Mr. Orji, on the instructions of his estranged wife. Ikechukwu, a plumber, disclosed that he travelled all the way from Delta State to carry out the operation, with another thug whose name he gave simply as Samuel.
According to him,
“I live in Ogwuashi-Ukwu, Delta State. My friend, Ekene, said he had a job for me. This was three weeks ago. I hurriedly came to Lagos and stayed with him in Ajah, where I met another of his friend, Samuel.
He told us that Madam Chika promised him N500,000 to kill her husband. Thereafter, he told Samuel to take me to Mr. Orji’s house, to identify the target. We went there and hid inside a tricycle, waiting for Mr. Orji, who we were told always came to open the gate himself whenever he was returning home.
But on that day, it was his daughter that opened the gate. We went back the next day, yet it was his daughter that opened the gate again.
By the time we went the third day, it was Mr Orji that opened the gate himself. The plan was to rush to him and stab him eight times in the chest, rib and neck. But Samuel, who was supposed to stab him, went to buy cigarette and by the time he came back, our target had gone inside and shut the gate.
Out of frustration, I went back home and told Ekene to give me my own share of the money that I was going home. But he stated that Madam Chika would only pay after the job was done. I decided to go to Mr. Orji’s apartment to steal instead, to get some money to go back to Delta State. But as I was trying to jump through the fence, somebody raised alarm which attracted members of a vigilante in the area, who apprehended me. I had to open up when they almost killed me.”
Following the release of 21 out of the over 200 Chibok girls in the penultimate week, the Nigerian Government are negotiating the release of another 83 girls.
But sadly, more than 100 others appear unwilling to leave their Boko Haram Islamic extremist captors, a community leader said on Tuesday.
According to AP, the unwilling girls may have been radicalized by Boko Haram or are ashamed to return home because they were forced to marry extremists and have babies, chairman Pogu Bitrus of the Chibok Development Association said.
Premium Times caught up with Mavin Record’s First Lady, Tiwa Savage, at an event in Lagos on Tuesday. In the interview, the lovely mother of one spoke about her career, her international deal, personal life and controversies surrounding her…
Read below:
How have you handled all the controversies that trailed your marriage in April?
It’s been the grace of God and I think I have been able to pull through by simply immersing myself in my work.
And the bad press and ‘nasty’ things written about you?
Generally speaking all that has been written about me doesn’t really affect me anymore. When I got into the industry initially, it was very difficult for anybody to realise this. But now, I have come to the realisation that the hard work you put in and the positive things that you do as an artiste always outweighs the negative. Whether you’re in the media, a banker or a nurse, you’re going to have people talk about you. Not everyone loves Jesus Christ so who am I to talk about people saying things about me? You can’t make everyone happy. I don’t try to waste time on people that don’t love me, so I just spend time with people that love me so I don’t disappoint them.
How do you handle embarrassing moments?
I don’t really think that I have had embarrassing moments like that. But I did have one recently while performing on the stage; where my cloth ripped off. I grew up around boys and my brothers teased me a lot. So, I am used to people making fun about me. I don’t take life too seriously and also, Mavin Records comprises of men; Di’ja and I are the only females. My male colleagues are all fun to be around. So when something embarrassing happens, I just take it laugh off and never take it to heart.
What is next for Tiwa Savage?
The next stage is how to work and break into the international market. I definitely don’t want to forget my Nigerian roots. I think that when you sign international deal, there is this tendency to forget home. We artistes also tend to forget that the main reason they signed you is because you were doing very well at home, so you can’t forget that. So, I am basically just trying to strike a balance with both audience and market. My dream is to grow the Tiwa Savage brand at home and abroad.
Tell us how you got signed on with Jay Z’s Roc Nation?
There’s a guy called Briant “Bee-High” Biggs; he is Jay Z’s cousin. He also doubles as Roc Nation’s current director of mobile strategies. He had been visiting Nigeria for few months to scout for fresh talents in Africa. The aim was to get these artistes and Jay Z’s label into the global market. I guess Brian had been monitoring my music and my career through the years before deciding to go with me. I guess he went with me because I am female while his other partners/remaining scouts were getting male artists. He wanted to strike a deal with a female artiste because the biggest artistes in America like Rihanna and Adele are all females. So, he really believes that there is a market for talented female artistes.
Are you not bothered by the fact that something similar crashed Mo’hits?
Oh no. I really don’t think the international deal is what broke up Mo’hits and I don’t really think any of us can actually talk about that issue. This is because only the two of them-Don Jazzy and D’banj, really know what happened. But mine is a blessing and I am not going to allow what happened in the past affect me.
How did you feel when you met Jay Z?
It was an incredible feeling but when you meet with him, you will realize that he is human afterall. He was very chilled, very relaxed and he made us feel comfortable. It happened so fast that I didn’t have time to really feel nervous. He spoke a lot about his experience and shared a lot of wisdom. Meeting him is such a great achievement but the work really starts now so we can really prove to the world that the partnership is successful.
Regardless of all that that has happened in your life, are you truly happy?
Of course I am very happy and I am blessed; I have a loving family, my career is getting stronger by the day. I recently signed an international deal so why won’t I be happy?
Is acting something you want to explore?
Yes, I really want to explore acting. I starred in Shuga and Jenifa’s Diary. But it has to be the right role. I also think that acting takes a lot of your time and it also takes a few months out of your calendar.
What role would you want to play?
I wouldn’t want to play a role that is similar to whom I am in real life i.e. a celebrity, musician or whatever people perceive as Tiwa savage. I will actually love to play the role of a market woman.
