“Single women should be dating men 10 years older than them. Dating younger men rarely works” – Relationship coach says

August 17, 2022

An Australian relationship coach, Jake Maddock, has advised single women to only date men who are ten years older than them.

The married coach said from his experience coaching thousands of people, when a woman dates a younger man, it rarely works out.

Jake, who claims to have cracked the code for long lasting relationships, said women should only date older men.

In an interview with FEMAIL, he said,

‘Men and women mature emotionally at different times. According to experts, men take about ten years longer to become emotionally mature than for a woman.

‘An older man is likely to be less commitment phobic and more decisive about where he wants to take the relationship. He will also have a more mature viewpoint when it comes to solving problems and relationship issues.’

‘He will have made his mistakes and is unlikely to repeat them. He won’t play silly games, he chooses you for better reasons and will appreciate you more.”

Speaking further, Maddock said the Hollywood dating and marriage scene is proof of his theory.

Giving examples of Hollywood couples, he said,

“George Clooney was clearly very careful about the women he chose to date. He was still a bachelor at age 52 when he met Amal Alamuddin in 2013. He is seventeen years her senior, which didn’t faze either of them,” Jake said.

“Jerry Seinfeld married Jessica Sklar in 1999, when he was 45 and she was 28. They are still together. Alec Baldwin began dating Hilaria Thomas in 2011, when he was 53 and she was 27. They are still together. Harrison Ford began dating Calista Flockhart in 2002, when he was 60 and she was 38. They are still together.”

“How can you find yourself a good wife when you dye your hair gold?” – Evangelist tells bachelors to emulate Mercy Chinwo’s husband, Pastor Blessed

August 17, 2022

Nigerian evangelist, Onee Zeh, has advised young Nigerian bachelors who desire to marry good women to emulate husband of popular gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo.

Onee Zeh, in a lengthy Facebook post, said that unmarried men who desire to someday marry a good wife like Mercy Chinwo should learn from her husband’s charisma and sense of fashion.

He asked how single men would get a decent wife when they dye their hair and also pull their trousers below the waist.

According to him, Pastor Blessed was able to attract a good wife like Mercy because he dresses well and takes care of himself.

In his words,

“This is pastor Blessed, Mercy Chinwo’s husband. Men need to Learn a lot from him: his charisma, his fashion sense and most importantly, his humility and wealth.

Have you seen him?

He is a 33 yrs old perfect and decent gentle man who controls and preaches to a whole congregation, he is a celebrity pastor, an IT professional, with a networth of over a 100million naira.

Men, you need to know that being like pastor Blessed, dressing like him, and getting his type of haircut will never go out of fashion. Modesty and decency will never go out of fashion.

Look at his hair cut, did you see dreds, mopping stick, locs, conrows, French cut fade haircut, galax haircut on his head? Nahh! He simply went on low cut and he killed it. Decency can never be outdated.

Men of nowadays are something else, they just can’t get a modest haircut and rest. How can you find yourself a good wife like Ms Mercy Chinwo when you dye your hair gold and draw your trousers down below your waist.

Look at him again, did you see his beard?

It connects EFFORTLESSLY. Look at it naawww, pictures don’t lie. How many men of today have connected beards? Princesses everywhere! Be like pastor blBlessed to get a good wife like Mercy.

Now, look at his outfit. Did you see anywhere he wore oversize shirts and low waist crazy jeans? check all his pictures, have you ever seen him in crazy jeans, he dresses modestly. See how, from head to toes, he is well covered. not like these woke men who loosen the fisrt two buttons of their shirts to reveal fake abs and fake chains.

Now, check his neck and fingers. Did you see any fake diamond necklace there? Apart from the wedding ring, did you see any other thing there? Yet, he is rich. but you that has 40naira as your net worth has 5 fake gold chains on your neck, 3 rings on your fingers; all fake! Again, decency can never go out of fashion. never!

Did you see him holding a cup of alcohol or smoking? He will live long and prosper for choosing to be a role model in a time when our boys and men have lost the real sense of morality!

My kings, please, you do not have to subscribe to these woke generation’s indecent fashion sense and lifestyle to stand out. Decency is never out of fashion. You will get yourself a good wife like Mercy Chinwo if you do well and remain decent, dress modest, get modest hair cut, have and keep connecting beards and have money like Pastor Blessed.

May this couple never have any reason to be sad. Amen.
Evangelist Onee Zeh”.

We spent only N2.5 billion to clear bush; N16.4 billion used to register farmers, others: Agric Minister clarifies viral reports

By

-

August 17, 2022

The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development says it spent N18.9 billion on farmers’ registration, soil sampling, mapping, and rehabilitation, among other things, not only on clearing bush during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The ministry’s spokesman Joel Oruche disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

The ministry came under knocks by Nigerians after the House of Representatives, during a probe hearing, raised doubts about the bush-clearing project of the ministry.

“During the lockdown of the country as a result of COVID-19, some companies took contracts worth about N18 billion for bush clearing from the federal ministry of agriculture for land preparation, rehabilitation of soil plant lab and others. We cannot shave their heads in their absence,” said Wole Oke, chairman of the House of Representatives committee on public accounts. “We have invited them to come and give us their own side by responding to the issues and show us the places they are supposed to have cleared. They have to take us to the land they cleared”

The ministry said it only carried out bush clearing and land preparation of 3,200 hectares in eight states (Osun, Ekiti, Edo, Cross River, Kaduna, Kwara, Plateau and Ogun), allocated by their governments at the cost of N2.5 billion.

The agric ministry explained that the ministry executed other projects during the COVID–19 period that amounted to N18.9 billion, including rural road construction in the country’s six geopolitical zones. Others were soil sampling and mapping, farmers registration and rehabilitation and equipping four national soil laboratories in Umudike, Ibadan, Kaduna and Abuja.

“The ministry wishes to state that if the statement emanated from the House Public Account Committee, the committee must have been quoted out of context. To put the record straight, however, the ministry at no time received any audit query to warrant summon by the committee,” the ministry’s statement added.

According to the statement, the projects were part of a stimulus package under President Muhammadu Buhari’s Agriculture for Food and Jobs Programme to generate employment and grow the economy to mitigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has taken to social media to express regret after a mother whom she refused to help for the medical treatment of her ailing son lost the child.

The politician revealed the mother had sent her an Instagram DM a while ago asking for financial help for the treatment of her child who was sick, but she ignored the message because of her past experiences with people.

According to the mother of one, she refused to help the troubled mother because she thought it was a scam, as she had recently fallen victim to a scammer who used the same pity story to get almost half a million naira from her.

Sadly, she got news that the woman’s son had died, apparently due to lack of medical care, and she now regrets not helping the woman.

“I will hate myself for a very long time… See the amount of damage one person’s lies and choices have caused… My heart goes out to everyone going thru one thing or the other!!

“I will beat myself up for this for as long as I stop feeling guilt but the person who made me ignore that message I pray you suffer more than the grieving mothers.

“Few weeks ago, I helped out a random fan with almost half a million naira (370k) cause they had mad challenges and she showed a baby and all. One week later I just wanted to check on them. BOOM! The account had been deleted. I took it with good faith.

“I was so pissed, I felt used and taken for granted but I moved on… Fast forward to 2 days ago, I saw a similar message, seeking for medical assistance. The way I deleted and ignored the message ehn. This morning I opened my DM, the mother told me that her son died. My eyes hurt from crying. My heart aches so bad.” She wrote.

Andrea Ekeng Inyang, the special assistant on strategic communication to Cross River Governor, Ben Ayade, has opined that a serious man will not date a lady for more than one year before marrying her.

Inyang made this assertion while advising single ladies not to scare off real suitors while claiming to be in a relationship with a man who has no intention of settling down with them.

According to him, a lady remains officially single until she’s married.

In his words,

“Until you are married, you remain officially single. Stop wearing uniforms like couple around the streets with pictures of you both all over social media because you may actually be scaring off your real suitor. A serious man will not date you more than 1 year. If you like hear, if you don’t continue telling people you have a serious relationship.”

See his post below,

A while ago, Inyang questioned why only the woman is blamed when a marriage fails to produce children.

He noted that society shouldn’t always conclude that the woman is the one with the problem since it takes two people to produce an offspring.

He advised that a husband and wife waiting for the fruit of the womb should go for tests, checkup and treatments and not the woman alone.
