She made this known in an interview with  PUNCH’s Saturday Beats . She also disclosed the kind of man she wants to be with. “I want a man who is tall, hardworking, and loves his job. I would want to be with a man who does not chase women and would not constantly request for money from me. If he needs my help, I can do it. I don’t want to be with a short man. My man has to be taller than I am,” she said. On her weightloss and whether she did that to find a partner: “Why would I change my look because of any man when I have my job, my career, and people who look up to me?

If it is your intention to meet someone for the sole purpose of having sex or any other purpose, there are some special considerations to be aware of: o     Make the major decisions before you meet. What will sex be like? Will you be using protection? Where will the hook-up occur? o     If at all possible, meet in a public place first. Make sure you feel comfortable with the person and that they are what they purported to be. o     Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable, leave. o     If you’re not able to meet in a public place, do not open your door if you see more than one person outside, even if they tell you they came along for the fun. Do not put yourself in a position to be outnumbered by people you’ve never met before.

A lady  Michale M.  has shared a heartbreaking story of a terrible event she experienced around the Ikoyi area of Lagos state. Michale shared how high school boys tried to gang-rape their female counterparts after their final exams. As is a trend in many high schools, students tear their school uniforms after they complete their high school exams, and the boys used it as an opportunity to assault, rob and rape girls. According to M.M, a man who had assisted her on the said day, claimed that a girl was raped in that area the previous week. M.M wrote: Dear Reader, I write this incidence with lots of mortification and great concern for what the next generation will be like in Nigeria if we do not quickly get to work repairing and paying them attention. Our elders have led their lives and we the generation who follow the baby boomers must hunker down and correct the ills in our back yards and community. It’s a common saying that evil prevails when good men do nothing. Today th

Trying to Lose Weight? Here are 5 Nigerian Foods You Should Eliminate From Your Diet

From as early as primary school, Nigerian teachers teach children the importance of eating a healthy, balanced diet that contains the main food components including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. However, when looking to lose weight, you may need to disregard that advice and go on a diet that either excludes some of these main food nutrients or allows them in very minute quantities. This is because some of these nutrients, carbohydrates to be precise, make you more likely to gain weight than others, as they are usually high in calories.
