New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Below Are The Commonly Made New Year Resolutions You Can Chose From. 1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends Recent polls conducted by General Nutrition Centers, Quicken, and others shows that more than 50% of Professionals vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. Will you do the same? 2. Fit in Fitness Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better so make exercise a priority. 3. Quit Womaniz...

Here are the losers of 2014 ! (In no particular order).. 1. May D May D seem to be the architect of his own misfortune. Since releasing his debut album, the self acclaimed Sure Boy has been a very lazy artiste, choosing not to put out records every now and then. When he does, he seem to put out decent records… If he does this constantly, he would have released a hit record in the music year but he was only able to release one single all year, titled Ibadi. The video for the record came out only few weeks ago. If the likes of Davido, Wizkid can be releasing songs almost every month, May D has no excuse for his laziness. He had a fantastic 2013 though. 2. Wande Coal One of the biggest losers this year is Wande Coal. His work ethic also can be questioned. He was able to put out smash singles out in the year with Baby Hello, My Way and Plan B all dropping in 2014 but somehow, Wande Coal failed to match his previous height. The 29 year old still hasn’t released any project s...

About 172 million people worldwide consider themselves atheists, adding those who call themselves "unaffiliated" or "nonreligious" brings the number to around 1 billion. Atheism represents a variety of people with equally varied journeys. Some "found" atheism, others have been atheists since childhood. Many people easily transitioned into non-belief but many others found the journey difficult and heartbreaking. Some atheists are vocal activists while others aren't safe to live openly as nonbelievers. Let's celebrate our diversity! 1.) The Life Long atheist Lifelong atheists grew up in atheist, or otherwise nonreligious families. They were born atheists (as are we all) and for the most part, have never been interested in religion beyond the academic. Most lifelong atheists find religious people perplexing. Having never been exposed to religious communities, they may find it difficult to understand religious people. 2.) The Atheist-at-heart T...

Girls don't care about sex and three other lies I've had to unlearn. I've heard people say that growing up as an evangelical meant they never talked about sex. This wasn’t my experience. I grew up in the thick of evangelical purity culture and we talked about sex A LOT. We just spent all of that time talking about how and why NOT to have it. As someone who waited until I was married to have sex, I was assured that I would be guaranteed an easy and rewarding sex life. When reality turned out to be different, I was disappointed and disillusioned. Only through gradual conversations with other married friends did I realize I wasn’t alone. I started to wonder if maybe the expectations themselves were wrong. Maybe what I’d been told or inferred about post-marital sex simply wasn’t true. Here are four of the biggest lies about sex I believed before marriage 1. Any and all physical contact is like a gateway drug to sex. Once in high school I attended a big Christian y...

The Defence authorities have said that a suicide bomber who rammed a Honda car primed with Improvised Explosive Devices into a military checkpoint in Bajoga, Gombe, State has been killed by soldiers. The Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, said in an electronic mail on Wednesday that the suicide bomber successfully rammed the bomb-laden Honda car into the military checkpoint but the bombs failed to explode. Olukolade said that the soldiers reacted swiftly by killing the bomber, who was trying to flee the scene of the incident. He stated that the troops retrieved the IEDs from the car and handed them over to the police. “A suicide bomber who rammed into a military checkpoint in Bajoga, Gombe State yesterday (Tuesday), failed to achieve his mission. “His attempt to escape also failed as he was brought down by vigilant soldiers when he tried to flee after hitting a military Armoured Personnel Carrier with his IED-laden Honda car.

A building-collapse has killed three labourers at Jabi, Abuja leaving three others injured. Security agents, including police officers, operatives of Department of State Security Service,DSS, Bomb disposal unit, Disaster Management and Rescue operation arms of both NEMA and FEMA gathered at the construction site.

This write-up is not based on mere assumption but my findings and encounter with ladies It takes the grace of God if you aint guilty of at least one of the listed points 10 Mentality Of An Average Lady 1. A guy must be the one to start up a chat and he must be the one throwing the questions else he is not ready to chat 2. The society frawns against a lady making her intentions known to a guy, therefore, a guy has to keep pestering you b4 you finally agree in order to show to him that you aint cheap or desperate 3. A lady has to hide her virginity status or pretend to hate sekks in order to portray a descent or an attractive image 4. Sending Pm to a dude will make you lose your self esteem or pride as a lady 5. The mentality of an average lady is that, a guy should settle the bills. When the bill arrives at the table, you pretend it doesn’t exist cos you believe it's less of your worry cos a guy should always settle the bills by default 6. You are doing a guy...

A woman carrying a baby on her back rush to climb a moving truck at Sagamu town in Ogun state. Photo Credit: bagofgists The sight of men, women and even young children risking their lives in various kinds of transportation makes one cringe. You see people hanging on to movie vehicles, hanging on the roof of moving train, trying to hop into a moving bus and many other dangerous moves which could send one’s heart into one’s mouth. This kind of sight can only scare someone who is witnessing it for the first time as most Lagosians are used to it. When you witness such scenes, it brings different questions to mind like, why would anyone want to die a cheap death? Street vendors selling local herbal medicine sit at the boot of a moving vehicle displaying their product to prospective buyers at Marina street, Lagos Island.

The Cross River State Police Command has nabbed a suspect, Edet Okon, with 104 bags of items believed to be hemp, also known as marijuana. Another two drums containing the substance was also confiscated from the suspect at Ikot-Nkese in the Bakassi Local Government Area of Cross River State. The suspect, who is in his late 50s, was paraded at the headquarters of the state Police Command in Calabar on Friday. Edet had claimed that he was not the owner of the seized marijuana, adding that he did not know anything about it.

He was arrested immediately and brought to the command headquarters.” Bassey said the command had concluded arrangement to transfe...

Have you heard of the word 'going...going...gone!' .The following Jobs may soon come to a complete halt in Nigeria. Just the same way many wildlifes are disappearing from our forests. Here are some of those job that are seriously endangered of extinction. Only time will tell. 1)POST MAILING- Nowadays, people now prefer to send their letters via social media rather than going to the post office. The post office was once known for her overcrowding but that's not the case again nowadays. 2) CASHIER- Machines can easily replace most services rendered by cashiers in banks and other places. Only Human preference and level of illiteracy is holding this back. This will surely be overcame with time. 3) CIVIL ENGINEERING- You know why? The government of our country now prefers to award road/railway/construction contract to foreigners mostly from China and Korea, rather than giving this to engineers in Nigeria. Very soon many Nigerians who studied this course may find i...

This write-up is based on my encounter and observation. Moreso,I also fall in at least one of the categories. 1. The one who wants to open to the book of Revelations but will start searching from Genesis 2. The one who doesn't know where a particular bible verse is located but he will use you as case study because he doesn't want to be left out...You can easily mislead this people. "Open to Matthew and he will open to Matthew even if the pastor asks the congregation to open to Deutereonomy. 3. The one who will check the table of contents for accuracy.The pastor says Open to Genesis and you'd find him checking the table of contents, "Open to Mark",he will still check table of contents(just name it). 4. When a pastor calls a bible verse and you all heard him. He will start searching and get confused on the way only for him to turn to you and ask you the chapter the pastor called. Sometimes I really wonder what he's thinking and thinking. 5. The ones who is...

This piece is not aimed at discrediting any of these stars, neither is it aimed at encouraging people not to acquire university education. These stars haven't acquired university degrees or their equivalent. Some were at the university but had to drop out due to reasons best known to them. But their inability to successfully acquire a degree in any discipline hasn't prevented them from climbing to the top of their chosen careers. Most of them speak fluent English, even more than some of their colleagues that are graduates, not to talk of those that are half baked graduates that can't express themselves in simple but correct English. With the way some of these stars carry themselves and also comport themselves, you wouldn't know that they are not yet graduates without being told. It's necessary to point out that the value of higher education cannot be over emphasised. Education is a desideratum and these stars are aware of it too. Interestingly, even...

From a few past experiences,here are some signs that could signal an eventual end to your relationship i.e your A$$ is about to be dumped. 1. You guys used to chat (Whatsapp/BBM) almost everyday even when there was nothing really interesting to chat about. Suddenly he/she stops chatting with you regularly and when a chat does occur you get more of 'one-liner' responses. 2. When he/she decides to go on more night outings without your presence (or consent) with excuses such as, "it's my colleagues Bach eve" or "It's an all girls nite out" or "Are you my father/mother". If this happens just once, fine...if it starts to happen more regularly, it's a sign. 3. When you suddenly start making extra effort to convince him/her to have $ex with you, in spite of the fact that you guys have always had a very $exually active relationship. 4. You lay hands on his/her handset and he/she suddenly becomes apprehensive or suddenly ...

As you may or may not be able to tell, I am on a mission to educate America about Africa – all 54 countries – and what is to be African. Okay, so I’m kidding about knowing everything about all 54 countries and I cannot speak for all Africans as it turns out. Still, I love making sweeping generalizations in my free time so why not do it about an identity I at least identify with? I have always found it interesting that no matter where they actually grow up, African children, at least of my generation (and probably socio-economic class), are pretty much raised the same way. So, here it goes: 1. Your parents are basically demi-gods. It doesn’t matter if you learned that the sky is blue. If your parents say the sky is orange, the sky is in fact, orange. At least, in their presence. 2. Your parents will seldom ever admit they are wrong. And if and when they do, you will be too stunned to even believe it. 3. Your grandparents are the only people who can put your parents in their ...

7 Reasons Why You Should Get Married Early. In fact, there are certain plausible advantages of getting married at a younger age. The belief that early marriage comes as a burden and an incomprehensible commitment, is not really a standard that applies to all. So, here are some reasons that explain why marrying early can be a good decision. #1. The perfect age saga Marriage is more about the ‘perfect person’ than the ‘perfect age’. Many argue on the necessity of being prepared for marriage. But in reality, you can never be prepared for it whether you are in your 20s, 30s or 40s. So, if you find your prince charming or dream girl at an early age, then there is no point actually waiting for long to get married. It is all about spending the beautiful moments of your life with the person you love. So, think about finding the right person rather than waiting for the right time to arrive. #2. You get more quality time with each other The young couples usually do not have the pressure of achi...

What a married woman says about her marriage is most of the time the opposite of the truth and reality of what her life is. Her mother brought her up on the ‘marriage is forever’ creed. Her pastor said ‘marriage is till death do you part’. The society insists that all divorced women are loose and lousy. What does she do between the devil and the deep blue sea? She tells everybody what they want to hear. Well, check some of these out and see if they are familiar. *.1. If I come back into this world again, I’ll marry my husband over and again. The truth: Is my husband coming back to this world again? Aaarggh. God will have to choose between creating him and me. If that goat is coming back to the world, then I am definitely not coming. That way there is no likelihood of us ever meeting even for dinner, least of all marriage. I have had enough of him to last ten lifetimes. I know God is not wicked, so He won’t allow me to marry this man again. *.2. My husband has never rais...

Types of Boyfriend. The Jealous Boyfriend: The jealous boyfriend will absolutely lose his cool at you over the thought of you talking to his best friend while making a cup of tea in one room while he is in another. He is extremely possessive. He isn't trying to control his girlfriend...nahnah___ just that he has "little faith in the society". Insecure Boyfriend: He is similar to the jealous boyfriend but more narcissistic. This happens when you carry babe wey pass you hehe... He is insecure because of his stand in the society and the fact that he is hooked with a "hot girl". Joseph The Dreamer: This one wanna be like Dangote. "Someday I'm gonna be rich and famous, I don't know how___ but, God is in control". He needs that lady that would help him pursue his dreams, morally/financially if need be. The Egoistic boyfriend: He is self-obsessed with himself. Doesn't care about your feelings or the relationship. He is most like...
