The man shared his story on Eve, a popular relationship site, where he told of two ladies he’s involved with.

According to him, he can’t chose between the two of the of them now.

Below is how told the story:

I am in a steady relationship and we are expecting our first child in five months. My fiancée’s parents are putting pressure on us to formalize our relationship.

However, I have a son with this other lady that I really love. We have had a relationship for more than five years now.

I love both ladies and want to marry them both but I don’t know what the law says about marring two women at the same time.

I have to act soon especially because of the pressure from my fiancés parents who are demanding for a church wedding.

Please advice on what I can do to marry both women.

I don’t want to lose any – or rather, none of them will allow me to proceed with the other.

On September 17, the Nigerian Navy held its second quarter route march for the year 2016 in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja – the exercise kicked off from Mogadishu Military Cantonment (MMC) Parade Ground at 6am going to Niger Barracks and back to MMC.

Virtually all ranks of the Nigerian Navy were represented at the exercise including members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The officers and men who were obviously glad to participate in the exercise, at some point started singing as they marched along the route.

Speaking to pressmen at the end of the exercise, representative of the chief of naval staff, Rear Admiral Ogunlowo stated the routine march is important for the personnel.

He stressed the health benefits of the march, even as he promised that the Nigerian Navy will keep its promise of making sure it is held every quarter.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Navy recently apprehended the leader of militant group -Bakasi Strike Force, Uduak Etim Thompon. Thompson was arrested alongside four other members of his group at their hideout in Calabar, the Cross river state capital.

Sex on the First Date: Why you should and why you shouldn’t..

blks

Have you ever caught yourself thinking if having sex on the first date is a good idea? Find out the pros and cons of indulging in first date sex here!

You’re out on a first date with someone whose sexual energy cannot be denied. You may find yourself extremely attracted to his sexy eyes or her sensual lips.

On top of that, dinner was fantastic and the conversation was even better than you had hoped. Your date knowingly smiles, leans forward, and with the subtlest of whispers says…

“Your place or mine?”

You freeze. You panic. You’ve heard all about the horror stories of sex on the first date! What do you do? Decline and your date might think you’re some sort of stuck-up prude from decades past. Agree and it might spell the ruin of your potentially bright future together. Oh, the dilemma!

Frantically, you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom to read this very article on whether or not you should sleep with someone on the first date. We won’t give you the definitive answer, as that’s entirely up to you. What we can do, however, is give you arguments from both sides:

Why you shouldn’t…

Are you looking for just a little more convincing that sex on the first date is a bad idea? Here are our reasons for why you should avoid sleeping with your date so soon.

#1 It’s been drilled into our psyche. We’re pretty much hard-wired not to have sex on the first date. For women, it’s because of the whole wife-whore dichotomy wherein we believe that putting out too soon would deem us as non-wife material, and therefore just another lay. For men, on the other hand, your date might think that sex is all you’re really after.

If you don’t want to risk even a smidge of what most of society would deem as behavior suited to the most promiscuous of people, then having sex with someone you’ve just had your first date with is not for you.

angel-christopher-hips-n-boobs2

Apparently dauntless Nollywood actress, Angel Christopher, is not one to shy away from situations around here – she has many a times had to battle and survive controversies to stay on course of her career.

A talented actress who can’t get enough of her endowment and won’t stop ranting about it – she knows she’s got the goods and she spares no one the delight her nice, curvy ass brings.

“I have got wonderful hips and boobs,” she once told Potpourri. “Whenever I walk along the streets, guys stop whatever they are doing just to stare at me. Both the young and the old are captivated by my curvy body. I am blessed with a sweet body.

An old woman saw me some days ago and said, ‘my daughter you are really beautiful, hope you thank your God everyday for making you this special. And I smiled and said ‘yes ma’. So, that is what I see every day.”

Majid Michel speaks on how to change a man

14334554_1175289469197474_1135562077_n

Multiple award-winning actor, Majid Michel has been sharing what he called leadership inspirational messages for a while now.

In his recent one, Majid Michel speaks on how to change a man and how this can be made possible through Jesus Christ.

He posted,

“If you want to change a man, you must change him. You can’t change a man by changing his environment, by removing his circumstances. You can’t change a man simply by trying to build a new type of community for him. You see, society is made up of people. If you want to change society, you have to change people, and the only person who can change another person is Jesus Christ.#LEADERSHiP”

Meek Mill Drops Diss Track To The Game. (Listen)

The Game and Meek Mill have been at each others throats, back and forth on social media these past few days – The drama supposedly started after The Game accused Meek Mill of snitching on him over investigation into a robbery on Sean Kingston.

The Game even dropped a diss track to Meek called “92 Bars” and Meek Mill has wasted no time replying with an “OOOUUU” freestyle featuring none other than Beanie Sigel.

On the track, Meek calls Game a stripper and fake, touched on all Game’s past beefs with Young Thug, Lil Durk and of course 50 Cent, and shuts down talk about Nicki Minaj and whatever it is that The Game may want to do with her.

N****s said that we beefin’ prolly ain’t gon’ see ’em

Durk checked you, Thug sonned you

The stunning lady and mother of two also celebrated her birthday yesterday, sharing a video of herself with her baby bump dancing to a popular Nigerian jam.

She wrote:

‘Oh how I love #throwbackpictures ??? ….. #7years together and I have never had a reason to regret accepting to be your wife. You chased me with every word, every conviction, every dream, but shi shi you did not have ??.

Oh I remember your first car, a cherry QQ it was smaller than a picanto, and the uncompleted bunker where we started life together with our first baby ?? I look back now and smile giving God all the glory, I am so glad I was a part of your life at the time. All you had to give were your words, your love & your dreams, I saw a young wise man ( Ecc 4:13) with so much vision & potentials thank God ?? I never doubted you for a minute, even though most of them seemed unrealistic at the time.

(Of cos now I can say the truth ?) You have never settled for less no matter the situation…..At the age of 20 I, prayed to God to give me a husband just like my Father #PeterAsimonye. A sweet caring man who cared not just for himself, but for people (that is you @officialbovi) Always wanting to be happy & making everyone you come across happy. Even though the world laughed at us well, the small world we lived in, we didn’t care.

We were happy and that’s all that mattered to us, to me especially. And from the day we both said “I DO” it’s been blessings upon blessings!! I celebrate you today my sweet love, you have not just pulled your weight, you have pulled mine as well. As imperfect as we both are, you have been an awesome husband & father to our kids…. A selfless man. If I were to choose all over again, I would choose you just because you are YOU….. & YOU are irreplaceable.

Thank you mummy #DrmagaretUgboma for raising a man worthy to be called a husband & father. I love you forever my lover & friend ? #happyanniversarytous #youngandinlove #humbleBeginnings”

Toke Makinwa talks about her dating life, marriage and more

toky-01
Popular on-air-personality, Toke Makinwa, has revealed how she felt after separation from her estranged husband, Maje Ayida.

In a recent interview with Fame Extra Magazine, the media personality talked about her dating life, misconceptions about marriage and more.

On being single and dating again, Toke Makinwa said:

“It’s tricky! It’s exactly like learning to ride a bike again but I think I am doing very well. Of course you get the initial stumble and fall off but the key is to accept that things are different now and that’s ok. My first date after my separation, I cried on my way home as I couldn’t believe I was back dating again, the stress and joys of getting to know someone again, the excruciating pain of the past and the will to trust another again. I am having a lot of fun right now.”

toky-0

Talking about people’s misapprehension about marriage, she said:

”People are not honest enough! You are told to keep quiet about everything like showing a sign of ‘all is not well’ automatically means you have a bad marriage. The thing is, everyone struggles, no situation is perfect and if people walked around with a little bit of honesty about their situation, a lot of marriages might survive. Religion is also a very big problem, God is involved in marriage and he has also blessed us with the capacity to think and make decisions for ourselves so people need to be less religious and more aware of His love. There will be way less judgement.”

The media personality who recently revealed she has never been this happy in years and is feeling great told the publication:

toky-02

“So much goes on in a home and you are told to keep mute, keep taking, pray till your knees get dark from kneeling (which is a good thing, don’t get me wrong), but a lot of people lose who they are trying to keep with all of these mandates that doesn’t always work. I am not saying you should go around telling everyone your business but I feel if we had more people open up about their struggles and a society that is less judgmental, people will begin to appreciate the beauty of seeing two people work at staying together and realizing the sheer amount of work required on both sides.”

Ten ways to find a faithful guy

nigerian-couple

Have you been in a situation where you feel so dejected with dating that you’re ready to give up.

“There just aren’t any good guys out there anymore,” you lament. Bad relationships will do this to you. After a while of dating Mr Wrong and Mr Cheater, it’s so easy to quit the dating scene for good and adopt some cats.

I know it’s hard to believe, but there are good guys out there. Lots of them, in fact.

Amidst all the frogs are some real princes. You just have to know where to look. “Where?” I hear you asking. So let’s take a look at 10 ways to find yourself a faithful guy.

Online Dating

I know, I know. You’re as sceptical as I once was about online dating. In fact, you might already have tried it, only to find that it just made you trust guys even less.

But there is no denying that for every bad online dating story is a fantastic one. More and more people are meeting their soul mate online. And if they can find the good guys, so can you.

When it comes to online dating, you have to be selective, and you have to know the red flags that should tell you whether or not a man is bad news. If you’re savvy enough, finding a faithful man online should be a cinch.

HIJAB: Muslims Warn Lagos Schools To Obey Court Order

hijabs

The Lagos State Area Unit of Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, MSSN, has warned Tutor-Generals/Permanent Secretaries, principals and teachers, to adhere to the Appeal Court judgement granting the right to wear hijab in public schools in the state.

This came two months after the Court of Appeal granted the right to wear hijab in all public primary and secondary schools in Lagos State, interpreting that sections 38 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) guarantees the fundamental human right of wearing hijab. Also, the All Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools, ANCOPSS, has asked members not to direct students to remove or seize hijab.

Amir of the MSSN, Lagos State, Mr. Saheed Ashafa, who gave the warning, yesterday, in a statement, insisted that students should neither be punished, harassed nor victimised for wearing hijab within and outside the school premises. He stated that: “Though, we do not expect any teacher to act to the contrary, if they do, we urge our members to ensure that they resist removing the hijab with their own hands.

They should ensure that the teacher or overzealous principal do it themselves. And after any of the education stakeholders does that, he or she should be prepared for legal and mass actions.” Reminding the stakeholders that the right to wear hijab has been granted in Lagos State-owned public schools, Ashafa said: “It will not be fair for any tutor-general, principal or teacher to order any student to remove their hijab; such action amount to committing contempt of court.

The statement read: “A situation where a principal or teacher will be seen punishing, threatening, assaulting or harassing a student for wearing hijab, after the judiciary has granted it, will amount to not only contempt of court but a betrayal of literacy, ridiculing of education and an abuse of reasoning.

“We plead that all the stakeholders in education should be law abiding and practicalise what they have been teaching us as students. We commend our teachers for their efforts from inception and hope that as students’ resume, they will not demonstrate to us how to disobey the constitution and judiciary.”

Kidnappers demand N1.2bn to release Lagos Landlords

leks

The kidnappers, who abducted four landlords around Lekki Gardens Estate, in the Isheri North area of Lagos State, have demanded N300m each to release their victims.

The assailants called family members of their victims on Sunday to make the demand, threatening to harm the landlords if the demand was not met.

Our correspondent had reported that the gunmen, who were masked, emerged from the waterways while the residents were jogging around 8am on Saturday.

They were said to have shot sporadically into the air before taking away their victims in a speedboat.

Those who escaped the attack said they hid in the water for over one hour until security operatives arrived in the area.

A source in the community said the kidnappers had contacted families of the victims and demanded ransom, describing the demand as unrealistic.

He said, “They have made contact and they asked for N300m for each of the victims. They said they would communicate where they would drop the money. But we all know that the demand is unrealistic. Where do they expect the families to get N1.2bn from?”

The source added that landlords in all the estates had started a series of meetings to find a way out of the conundrum, adding that the incident was unprecedented in the community.

Meanwhile, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Police Command, Lagos, Abdulmajid Ali, has raised a team to go after the hoodlums.

A statement on Sunday by the spokesperson for the command, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the team had been given an order to rescue the victims unhurt.

The statement said, “The AIG, who gave the directive to the team which comprises trained and versatile police operatives and ICT experts from Lagos and Ogun commands and the Force headquarters, Abuja, described the incident as unfortunate and totally unacceptable.

“AIG Ali assures relations of the victims and the public of timely and successful rescue operation as the police have clues to the incident. And that the hoodlums, who have no hiding place, will be apprehended. He also assures the residents of the area of adequate security.

“He appeals to the relations of the victims and the public to support the police with useful information on the rescue operation while he works assiduously with the two commissioners of police in Lagos and Ogun and other stakeholders, to rescue the victims and sustain the fight against kidnapping and other crimes within the zonal command.”

EFCC traces Lagos, Bayelsa properties worth N1.5bn to Goodluck Jonathan’s ex-aide, Dudafa

dudafa

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has traced properties worth N1.5bn to a former Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Affairs, Waripamowei Dudafa.

Our correspondent learnt on Sunday that as part of investigations into an alleged case of money laundering, the EFCC discovered some properties, which Dudafa had not been able to explain where he got the money to buy them.

The commission discovered a mansion in the Agungi area of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, allegedly belonging to Dudafa, said to be worth over N300m.

The anti-graft agency also traced a plot of land around the Chevron Estate, off the Lekki-Epe Expressway and a twin duplex within the same area said to belong to Dudafa.

Apart from the Lagos properties, an edifice in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, was also traced to Dudafa.

A source in the EFCC said, “When we are probing a person, we usually investigate his lifestyle and see if he or she is living above his means. Since Dudafa has already been arraigned for money laundering, we decided to launch further investigations into his lifestyle.

“We found a white mansion in the Agungi area of Lagos, very close to Lekki. He has about four exotic cars in the compound. We did not seal it off because people live there. So, we just placed a sticker on the fence to indicate that the property is a subject of investigation.

“Dudafa also has a twin duplex around the Chevron Estate. We did not seal it off because he has rented the property out. However, he has a parcel of land around the place, which we have sealed off.

“We have arraigned Dudafa and if he is found guilty, he will forfeit the properties.”

Dudafa first became a subject of EFCC investigation when a former Aide-de-Camp to Jonathan, Col. Ojogbane Adegbe (retd.), told detectives that he handed over N10bn (converted to foreign currency) to Dudafa on the eve of the 2014 Peoples Democratic Party presidential primary in which Jonathan was the sole aspirant.

The money given to Dudafa was allegedly used in bribing PDP delegates.

The money was allegedly diverted by the Office of the National Security Adviser under Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) from a Signature Bonus Account in the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The N10bn is believed to have been diverted from oil receipts as follows: $5m (November 14, 2014); $47m (November 27, 2014); €4m (December 3, 2014) and €1.6m (December 24, 2014).

While Adegbe was arrested but later released, Dudafa was said to have fled to either Dubai or a Caribbean country where he stayed for several months.

Dudafa was finally arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services upon arrival at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on April 18, 2016.

The anti-graft agency said the former presidential aide returned N900m to the Federal Government.

Dudafa is also believed to be a front for Dame Patience Jonathan, the wife of the former President.

Patience had said in a sworn affidavit two weeks ago that she gave Dudafa some money to help her open an account at Skye Bank.

She, however, stated that Dudafa used the money to open five accounts of which only one bore her name while the other four were opened in the names of Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited; Seagate Property Development & Investment Co. Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited and Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited.

The current balance of the four accounts is $15,591,700 while the money in Patience’s personal account stands at $5m.

The four companies last week pleaded guilty to money laundering.

Patience risks losing the $15m to the government.

One Sammie Somiari, who deposed to an affidavit on behalf of Patience, claimed that the former President’s wife was the rightful owner of the $15m and that Dudafa helped her to open the bank accounts in 2010.
