Simplicity is style – Helen Prest-Ajayi

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 08:37 AM PST

Helen Prest-Ajayi












At 19, she was crowned Miss Nigeria.  That was in 1979. Now, at over 53, Helen Prest-Ajayi can still compete for the same crown. Beautiful, charming and with a soft voice, she is what every woman dreams to be in her 50s.
Of course, the first question would hinge on her looks. What has been her staying power? Lapping up the compliments, she enthuses: "Good looks, these days, are all about positive energy, healthy living and prayer. I've always maintained that beauty comes first, from the inside. What is inside you always radiates out at the end of the day."
Ask again what needs to be done to experience graceful ageing and she responds, "To remain ageless, you have to be able to engage with people of all ages and backgrounds. You also have to embrace change and keep tabs on the new trends in technology. How well you adapt is always reflected in your body and mind."
Ironically, as the interview progresses, she makes you realise there is more to life than good looks. "It's also about talent," she corrects. A graduate of law, she preaches beauty with brawns.

"I agree that looks help but without an active use of your brain, you can never make it. If you are beautiful, you must not be dumb! As a contestant in 1979, I was a law undergraduate and I did not take a year out. I combined my duties as Miss Nigeria with my academics and graduated along with my peers. I also graduated from law school, went on to do my National Youth core service, then went on to obtain a masters degree in Law (LLM) from the prestigious Kings College University London."
With a huge fan base on the social media, Prest-Ajayi would not fail to proffer advice to her young fans:  "It is the same I give to my daughters. First, believe in yourself, trust your instincts, be gracious, be open to new ideas, and use your brains, not your looks to get ahead. Sometimes, it's difficult because people want to only see your looks but you will be happy you did so later on in life when your looks fade; as they inevitably will do. Above all, laugh a lot, be happy- happy people are always beautiful."
Talking motherhood with her is exciting. Dispelling the stereotype beauty queen, she gushes: "Some said if you are a beauty queen, you would never find a husband and probably not have children. Every man, who is a real man and has what it takes to be a man, wants to have a beautiful wife. I have three lovely children and it has been a roller coaster ride that I have enjoyed immensely. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. My daughters are awesome. They are always raiding my wardrobe and sometimes I raid theirs!"
An author of children books, she is also the creative director, www.mylifestylesolutions.com, a social network site, which offers practical solution for everyday living. Still as relevant as ever, both in social and business circles, her definition for success is simply: "A feeling of contentment that your life's purpose for walking this earth has been fulfilled. Now, that could mean many different things to different people, but I do know one thing for sure, you will know it when you experience it, because you will be at peace."
Quite an interesting personality, Prest-Ajayi, who will clock 54 this year, has succeeded in remaining scandal-free unlike some former beauty queens. But then, how has she remained relevant? With an emphasis on the fact that she is not out to seek attention, she opines, "Being relevant is not really something I think about. Everybody can stay relevant if you keep your curiosity alive and keep an open mind. I try to be true to my beliefs in whatever I do, if what I do resonates with people and makes me relevant, that's great! But it's really not that important. What's important is whether I'm relevant to myself and my family."
Rewind to 1979 when she emerged a queen. What pushed her into the pageant? Describing it as a 'spur of the moment thing,' a young lady then, she counted it as a relief to have won because her parents didn't know she went for the contest! As expected, a Miss Nigeria crown should open doors. Or didn't it?
Quite philosophical in her responses, she says, "Only you can open your doors. Remember the reign is only for a year. The rest of what you do is for a lifetime. However, I have to admit that winning the Miss Nigeria crown then launched me onto the national stage and made me an instant celebrity at a time when there were no celebrities. Miss Nigeria had iconic stature. People always wanted to know what I was doing at every point in time and I was constantly being interviewed and photographed. It was like the first reality show and I was the star of it."
Style, for her, is simplicity. She explains her attitude to style as: "My calling card is simplicity. One of my favourite mantras is 'less is more'. Too much jewellery and overly fussy clothes are ageing!"
Guess what she would not be caught dead in? She responds, "I know enough about the changing trends of fashion over the years to know that one should never say, 'never.' There's nothing I would say I wouldn't be caught dead in."
Any fashion fetish? "Pucci and Issey Miyake and anything in an ethnic design interpreted in a luxurious fabric," comes her prompt reply.
Her plan for the New Year is to work on a project. "It is all about www.u-wantit.com.  It is showing people a new way to shop designer brands for less," she discloses.
Wondering what she eats to make her trim? "I try to eat sensibly. I don't eat in between meals and I exercise as often as I can. I try and work out at least three times a week and I laugh a lot. Laughter and good friends are the best beauty regime," she says.

My father never relaxed — Sunny Okosuns’ daughter

Okosuns with young Ebony











A daughter of the late popular musician, Sunny Okosuns, Ebony, shares her memorable moments with her father in this interview with GBENGA ADENIJI
 Can you please give a brief profile of yourself?
My name is Ebony Okosuns and one of the children of the late singer, Sunny Okosuns. I am the second child of four children comprising two boys and two girls. The first is Sidney, the third Michael and the last child is Adesua. I attended Essex College in the United States and studied computer information. I practice as a tailor and run a boutique in Lekki, Lagos.

 What memorable moments did you share with him while growing up?
We had holidays every day whenever he was around. Whenever we were back from school in those days, he was always with us to have fun. Every moment with him was golden because he was not laid back. I remember that when there was no electricity, he would light the candle, act like a monster and chase us around the house. There was no dull moment with him. If there was  rain, my father would be inside the rain with us as we took a shower. He was a really cool father. Whenever we went shopping, he shopped like a lady. Shopping was great with him. He knew the coolest shoes and clothes that were in vogue then. He was a very stylish man.
 Considering the demands of his trade, how did he make time for his family?  
He was a very busy man but he made out time for us a lot. If he was home and there was a need for us not to go to school, we would stay at home with him. We could be at home for a month because he used to say he needed to have time with his family. We would sleep with him in the same room and go shopping together. If he slept, there would be a mat on the floor for us to sleep next to one another. We never missed a moment with our father. He took us to every Chinese restaurant that was in Lagos. He also took us to the beach though we did not get close to the water.
We did not feel that we had a father who was not always around because we had double of the time he was away. We were the ones who would tell him to travel and he would tell us that he just came home having been away for three months. My father bathed us often when we were young. I think he did all that because he wanted to have quality time with us. His toilet is as big as a bedroom and sometimes he could take us there while using it and be telling us stories. We often protested that he was in the toilet but he would insist that he only wanted to tell us the stories of what happened while he was on musical tours. He was not one of those fathers that could be referred to as not being around because he made out time for us. When we were abroad, he was always visiting us. Sometimes he could call us from Nigeria and the next day, he was in US to visit.  My father was there for us in all aspects. He was an ideal family man.
 How did he relax at home?
My father never relaxed. There was a time he came to US on vacation. He did not stay long before he returned to Nigeria for performances. We protested that he promised us he was coming to the US on vacation but he told us that he wanted to work. He knew that whenever he was with us, we would not allow him to go to the studio. I think his only relaxing time was during sleep. Even at that, he did not like sleeping alone. He loved having us around not caring that we often made a lot of noise and increased the volume of the television. Whenever he was sleeping and we decided to go out in order not to disturb him, he would wake up when he noticed that the room was too quiet. He would ask who told us to leave and if he told us we were disturbing him. We liked pulling at his hair and ears whenever he was sleeping.
 How close were you to him?
We were very close. When I was in the US, my friends used to make jest of me that my father called me every day from Nigeria. My father was available whenever I intend to seek his advice on my work or anything. I called him anytime. He was there to advise us on anything bothering us. The way he joked with us with us was funny on its own. I miss everything about him.
 How often did he visit you and your siblings studying abroad then?
My father came abroad not less than five times a year to visit us though there were other random visits while on musical engagements.
 Can you recall your most intimate moment with him?
There were million intimate moments with my father. I remember when we went to a fast food in the US and he pretended to be an illiterate. He wanted to know if the attendants would attend well to him. He winked at us not to betray him. It was tough as one of them would explain to him, saying 'This is burger. These are French fries and this is Kentucky chicken.' He acted as if he did not understand what the worker was saying. If the attendant was patient with him, my father would give him or her money. If the attendant was respectful, my father never hesitated to give good money. They showed their surprise after the whole thing that he was pretending all along. He taught us how to order food in fast food joints. There were moments we ate from the same plate and later went for a long walk. There was no particular intimate moment because every moment with him was memorable.
 Have you ever watched him perform?
He didn't like taking us with him on tour because he said he won't be able to perform well as he had to keep watching us. But I remember a concert in Lekki he took us to before we all travelled out. He kept on looking at us and was constantly warning us not to tread on certain places. We then understood why he didn't like taking us to his shows. There was a show we attended in Lagos and he ensured we were placed in an elevated car in the middle of the crowd facing the stage. The crowd was massive and we watched the show from the car. We were not allowed to alight until he finished performing. There were some shows I performed with him. I did back up. I rehearsed with his band and sang all the songs they played with them. There was a show in Ohio and that was where he allowed me to sing one of his songs, Holy, Holy, Holy.  It is my favourite song and I told him I wanted to sing it. He first asked me how I would sing it because I am shy. I told him not to worry because I wanted to be a singer. I did the song but did not make any eye contact with the crowd. He later told me that since I didn't make any eye contact with the audience, there was no way they would feel me. That was the last song I did all by myself with him on stage.
 Your father was a great singer. Didn't he influence any of you to follow  in his footsteps?  
I think he did intuitively. We are artists only that we are not musicians. But my elder brother is a computer genius. He does not paint, draw or sing. It is funny because everybody thought he would be an artist having been the only child for a long time and my father took him everywhere with him. He also knew how to play the drums. But he grew up not doing anything arts-related.  Let me tell you a story. There was a day in high school that my teacher asked me to write an essay on 'Why I am going to college.'
I just wrote that I didn't know why I was going to college because I already knew what I wanted to do. I always love garment production. I desire to be a tailor. I didn't want to go to school because I was already designing and also want to be a musician. But I do not think one can learn arts in any school. One must be talented. Though some people say they can learn it, I think it cannot be authentic compared to someone who has innate ability in arts. I later encouraged myself to go to college since I had the opportunity.
 What values did your father teach you? 
He said we should always say the truth, be good to ourselves and to others. He always told us to know that we are not better than anybody and nobody is better than us. He was an honest man and told us to be honest always.
 What did he like to wear?
My father was a trend setter. He loved wearing tennis shoes at a time. He would wear the latest one anytime any young boy tried to show off. It was like saying he was hipper than the person.
 How did he correct any child who misbehaved?
My father often refused to talk to any child who did wrong. He never used the cane on any erring child or asked such child to face the wall. Imagine such a good man like my father not communicating with one for a day. He was the best man to have as a father. When he refused to talk with that offending child, he or she would be the one begging and promising not to misbehave again. In that period, my father's love for the other children would be intensified. If they got one toy before, they got two. The smiles and plays became extra and the child who misbehaved often got worried and begged profusely to be forgiven so as not to miss out on the fun.
 What kind of drink did he like?
He liked water. He was not a drinker and smoker. My father enjoyed taking herbs and ginger sometimes. He also did not like sugary things.
 How did he handle disagreement with his wife?
Any disagreement between them was fun in itself. My father took everything like a joke. If he did anything wrong and my mother did not accept his apology, he could pour garri on the rug. He knew while she was trying to clean it, they would make up. Before doing that, he would have warned us not to help her in cleaning. We were always on dad's side in such situation because he was the one who bought the toys. At the end of it all, dad often begged her for whatever wrong he did. That was why I said any misunderstanding he had with our mother was fun in itself.
 Where were you when he died?     
I was in Nigeria when he died. But I saw him in the US two days before he died when I went for my sister's graduation. It was my sister who called me on a Saturday to break the news to me. There was a time dad came home and looked strong. He had been sick, diagnosed and given time. We were happy and prayed he would live when he survived the time.
 What was your first reaction when you heard the news?
I ran downstairs and fainted. When I was revived, I went silent and didn't talk to anybody. I later learnt that one of my uncles called members of the family in the US to confirm what happened.
 What do you miss most about him?
I miss everything about him. Even on the hospital bed, he still tried to entertain us.
 Your father sang in his local dialect, Edo and in English, Yoruba and Igbo. Are his children as versed as he was in these languages?
No, we are not as versed as he was in the languages. Although, I speak Yoruba a bit, my sister and younger brother don't while my elder brother does fluently. I understand my local dialect, Edo, but I don't speak it fluently.
 What favours have come your way through his name?
My father's name does not cash cheques in the bank. I cannot take a cheque now to a bank and say, 'Though there is no money in the account, I am Sunny Okosuns' daughter, pay me.' It does not work that way. I still have to work. If I do not work, I will not eat. But generally, people listen to us because of who our father was. The name helps us, but we have to work because dad taught us to be self-reliant and believe in ourselves. I do not go out announcing that I am his daughter.
 It is five years since he passed on. How has the family been coping without him?
We are coping and moving on. We thought it would be difficult to survive without him especially my mother who was close to him. It was initially tough for her because she spent most of her time with him. We remember him on his birthday every January 1 by gathering as a family to sing and pray for him.

My Guy infected me with AIDS

Couple










Initially, Mercy did not think Desmond would take any notice of her. At 17, she had acne all over her face and she was a plain Jane.
Desmond was every girl's dream. He was handsome and stood at 5 ft9. He was the captain of the school's basketball team and his parents were said to be the wealthiest in the neighbourhood.
But he had a weakness-he was a womaniser. Although his mother would usually caution him about keeping so many girlfriends, she also saw it as a sign of harmless youthful exuberance. She did not think there was any harm done by her flirting son.
Mercy was the exact opposite. Her parents were civil servants, who were recently transferred from another state to their current location. Their salary, though was enough to feed and take care of the basic necessities in the house, they could not afford some luxuries. She had been taught to be content with what her parents could afford and not envy the rich. She would not spend money unless the item was necessary and deserving of such expense.

So when she became fond of Desmond, she did not know whether the feeling came out of vice or virtue. She just found herself drawn to him every day and could not explain why she was simply smitten with Desmond. She thought he would never see her or be attracted to her.
But she was wrong. He did notice her. One day, he came to the class where she was reading, pulled up a chair sat next to her and said, "Hello.'' When she turned to look, it was Desmond. Shocked, she replied, "Oh! Hello!"
"I see you are pursuing to be the most dedicated student of the year," he commented with a mischievous smile playing around his well formed lips. She shifted her gaze from him, her cheeks burning from the effect of deep blushing.  She did a mental assessment of her looks for the day and concluded that she did not pass. She looked dowdy and plain! 'If I knew, I would have dabbed on powder at least,' she thought to herself.
"What are you reading so seriously?" he asked. She showed him the book.
"Oh Chaucer's Canterbury tales,'' he observed. That's a nice one. So, do you think Chaucer might permit you to hang out with me tonight?" he asked her.
He continued: "A friend is marking his birthday and I need female company. No. Forgive me for the error. I need your company."
She felt flattered at this invitation but she attempted a weak objection. "But you have a lot of female friends…" her voice trailed off as he gazed into her eyes. There was a tense moment of silence, which could be sliced with a knife.
He bent towards her and whispered"Yes. I know. But you are the one I need this time," she closed her eyes, expecting a kiss. He did not kiss her.
When he raised his face up, Mercy kept her eyes shut.  "So, are you accompanying me tonight?" his voice brought her back to the present and she opened her eyes and answered, "Yes. I will."
"Thanks," he said.
She did not know how the relationship progressed from that day but she knew she started an intimate and sizzling affair with Desmond and they were inseparable. He was so committed to her that he stopped seeing all the girls that used to hang around him.  She started dreaming of going down the aisle with him. She thought he would propose and looked forward to that day.
But there was a break in contact when he had to embark on an emergency trip abroad. She had no idea he was travelling and felt the initial pangs of hurt when she called his cell phone one morning and had to leave a message on his voice mail. She called his brother who informed her that he was abroad for a routine medical check up.
Routine medical check up? She did not understand.  Desmond was healthy and did not look like someone who needed medical attention.
She did not see him again until two months and then, he seemed a bit distant. All the previous heat of passion had burned out of his eyes and she could see they appeared hollow and dispassionate. She dismissed any contrary thought, putting it down to his illness and trip.
He gave sketchy information about the medical emergency that took him abroad. But then, Mercy suddenly came down with high fever followed by a bad cough. As soon as she got to the teaching hospital, she was requested to run a blood sample test.
The test results came out three days later and she tested positive to HIV. It was the last result she expected to receive. HIV? Where did she contract it from knowing Desmond was the first and only lover she had? Immediately, she put a call through to him and informed him. She suggested he should run a test too. He did and tested positive! Then, he confessed to her that he knew his HIV status before travelling abroad. However, the doctor explained that the virus had receded in Desmond's system.
Mercy felt a flood of several emotions rushing at her. She felt betrayed, lost and most of all, insignificant. "Why didn't you did tell me you were HIV positive Desmond?" she asked.
"I am sorry but I did not know how to tell you. My parents insisted that I went for more tests abroad. My dad's doctor administered series of injections and treatments on me," he replied.
"So, what is going to happen to me? My parents cannot afford an overseas treatment like yours," she lamented.
"I know. I have told my dad but he said the treatment was very expensive overseas. His doctors advised that you start taking antiretroviral drugs immediately. Here is a cheque for N300, 000. It's for the treatment," Desmond said.
Mercy collected the cheque.  "I am sorry, Mercy," Desmond said and walked away.

I’m proud of my nude pictures –Maheeda

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 08:07 AM PST

Maheeda










Background
My name is Caroline Sam but my stage name is Maheeda. I am an orphan. I really did not know my mother and I never met my father. My mother died and I was all alone. When I was 14, I decided to hit the streets and I started fending for myself. I did a lot of funny jobs.  Worked as a bar attendant, waitress and was a prostitute just to survive. Along the line I got pregnant. I am just a very strong woman who is trying to make a difference. Maybe I started off not too good, I have realised that whatever happens in your past, you have to use it in a positive way that will benefit you and your family.

Me and music
I have always loved music and attention. I started about ten years ago. I don't have any albums yet but I have quite a number of singles. All I can say is that the way I want to do my thing is not acceptable in Nigeria. It has been hard and it's still hard for me to achieve. Currently, I am in Nigeria to spend Christmas and I am also seizing the opportunity to shoot a video for my single, 'Naija bad girl'. Apart from music, I am also a model and acting is another passion of mine.
Nude pictures
It is deliberate. I know what I am doing. The pictures are not targeted at anything. It is all about attention and there is no mistake about it. This business of music is called showbusiness and I am convinced I am on the right track. I owe no apologies. I just realised this way will be a faster hit than any other way. The pictures are working for me.
Criticisms
In this life, everybody gets criticised whether you do good or bad. I have read and heard so much about me that I am now used to it. Thanks to them, they have helped me develop a thick skin.
Relationship
I am married and my husband is Dutch. What I am doing is not alien to him or his family and he understands. I met him at a bar when he just came to Nigeria. We are happily married. Even before we got married, he understood my kind of person. He was aware of my vision. He has always been supportive. He just laughs whenever he comes across any of my pictures. It's in Africa that we attach much importance to such things and consider it sacrilegious.
My daughter can't do this
I am 31 and I had my daughter when I was 17. I do not think this is going to affect her in any way. If my mother did something like this; there is no way it would have affected me. My daughter is not even aware these nude pictures exist even though she has seen pictures of me in bikini. She is not even allowed access to the social media. Even if she gets to view them eventually, it's not going to mean anything to her because she has the European mentality. When my daughter is 18, then she can decide what she wants. Currently, she is under my care and I won't let her do what I am doing.
Nude pictures and music
So far, it has worked and it's still working. As you can see, there's so much attention on me. All of a sudden, people want to listen to my old singles and are looking forward to my debut album.
Friendship
I have quite a few of them. Don Jazzy is my friend, Olamide and Phyno just to mention but a few. Gospel artistes? No, but I became a born-again Christian and decided that I wanted to continue with secular music. Whether people accept it or not, I am a born-again Christian and that is why I describe my music as honest music. I am not perfect but I'm just living my life in the best possible way.
Style
I like to feel comfortable. When I dress, I want to be me not caring what the next person thinks. I also like to go to the gym to keep fit. When you are fit, clothes look fabulous on you.

OJB’s First Wife Tells Us Why She Donated Her Kidney To Him

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 07:56 AM PST

wpid-The-Okungbowas
Veteran producer, OJB Jezreel has been in the news since his successful surgery. We all heard how it was his current wife that gave him her kidney.
Now it is time to hear from the horse's mouth.

OJB's wife was asked in a interview by Punch why she gave OJB, her husband of 20 years her kidney, his first wife Mabel said: -
I did not even think twice about it, I had it and I gave it to him. He is my husband, the father of our children and I love him. This is somebody I have been with all my life. I did not tell anybody before I decided to, not even my parents because I had foreseen their reaction. There was no reason to inform them. When I married him, I told God I wanted the both of us to grow old together and live to see many generations. I am sure God knew this situation before he brought us together because not only am I a match for him, we are the same blood group and we are both stubborn.
OJB replies below
OJB: A major illness can break a home. Sometimes, instead of one partner seeing the other through the period of sickness, they would rather walk away. It could be draining them psychologically, financially or both. When you talk more as a couple, you create that atmosphere where you can actually share what you feel about the situation. I did not want anybody to donate an organ for me
and I was very stubborn about it. I thought I was going to come out of the situation without a transplant. I was ready to go through any other route to make it happen. Above every other thing, I have always believed in the God factor and that is what has kept us going because Nigerians are very sceptical

Police release pictures of two men wanted in connection with fatal shooting of man, 31, inside West End nightclub on Boxing Day

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 07:51 AM PST



Police investigating the death of a man shot dead inside a nightclub on Boxing Day have released pictures of two people they want to trace.
 
Hassan Mohammed Omer Isman, 31, from Poplar in east London, died in hospital after suffering multiple gunshot wounds in the West End club. 
The incident happened at 3am on December 26 during a private function in Shaftesbury Avenue's Avalon club. 
Scotland Yard is appealing for information about Danny Walker, 32, and 30-year-old Gavin Allen. 
They believe Allen may have travelled abroad. 
Anyone who sees either man is urged not to approach them, but to call police on 999. 
A 24-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody at an east London police station. 
Two men - a 31-year-old and a 34-year-old - arrested on suspicion of murder have been bailed to a date in mid-February, pending further enquiries. 
The Avalon Soho describes itself as a cocktail lounge with live DJs every night.

'I don't know who you are but I wish god has taken you into his hands.'
    A Metropolitan spokesman said at the time: 'Police and London Ambulance Service attended to find a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
    'He was taken by London Ambulance Service to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
    'Detectives are continuing to appeal to anyone who was inside the Avalon nightclub at the event, or who witnessed events inside the club, to contact them.'
    A DJ working at the club on the night of the shooting took to Twitter to express his shock

    Man With TWO Penises Answers Questions About His S*X Life

    Posted: 05 Jan 2014 07:24 AM PST

    n-SHOCKED-INTERNET-USERS-large570
    When you come to a fork in the road, you might be looking at this man unclad.
    As much as we'd like to show you the picture of the man with two functioning penises, we're going to resist. But we will bring you some of the highlights of his "Ask Me Anything" session on on Reddit.

    The man, who calls himself "DoubleDickDude" (DDD), was born with diphallia, a rare conprivate part condition that causes him to have two s*x organs.
    Both penises are in the 6-inch range, but DDD says one can get as large as 7 inches if he's really aroused.
    DDD also helpfully provided evidence in the form of two extremely graphic photographs that are too explicit to post in the story.
    You can access pictures here and here.
    As might be expected, DDD attracted thousands of inquiries from curious men and women about his pitchfork man-hood. His real name, age and home town remain a mystery, but he is believed to live somewhere in the United States.
    There was plenty of other, more titillating information than DDD's basic biographical data.
    For instance, DDD said he is bisexual and currently in a relationship with both a man and a woman, the Mirror reported.
    He said partners were a couple before they started dating him.
    "She is straight, and he is bisexual," he wrote. "After four months of them both knowing me, they found out about my cocks. It clicked and we've been together since."
    DDD claims he has managed to put both appendages inside a woman at once.
    "[It went] very nicely. She complained later though… [But] she kept coming back for more at least for three months," he said.
    Although DDD is happy with what God gave him — twice — he's had some past issues as a result of being double-pronged.
    "I had one issue in my teens. The 'Y' intersection where my urethra splits into two had some tension issues and was ballooning until the pressure was enough to force the urine up and out," he said. "So they did some minor surgery and used catheters to stretch and open up the 'Y' some. No problems since."
    However, when he goes commando, which he said "is almost always, except in winter," the two organs take their own sides.
    "The seam can be a pain sometimes because the skin between them is a little delicate and sensitive," he explained.
    He said exposing his junk to a new partner has had its challenges, and that men and women have reacted very differently.
    "Some have been like, THAT'S FAKE! Some have freaked out, like, called me names," he said, according to HuffPost UK. "Most are pretty curious… but for the most part, girls were nervous and some changed their mind at the last minute. Dudes NEVER change their mind, they always want it even if they're freaked out a little."

    All You Need To Know About Maje Ayida, Toke’s Ex + He Is 41

    Posted: 05 Jan 2014 07:22 AM PST

    Maje Ayida in a new interview with Thisday spoke about his educational background, his kind of woman and ofcourse his ex. Enjoy part of the interview below;

    Tell us about your background?

    I have 5 older siblings - 2 boys and 2 girls. So, whatever the cliché of being the youngest are, I'm it. I left Nigeriawhen I was about 8 years old and started boarding school in England. I went through the full education system before returning to Nigeria in 2000 after a few years of working in London. At first, there was a reluctance to move home.
    It's easy to get caught up in life in foreign lands, but it's the best thing I could have done. With all the issues here, I still love it. its home, it's where I belong (I don't love not having electricity though). Early on in my life, I made a close set of friends that have stayed very close till today. That's something very rare and I truly appreciate it. I like the concept of family, be it by blood or not, these are the things that add value to life. It's all part of wellness.

    If you were to title your 2013 with a song, who would be the musician and what would you prefer the title to be?

    The song for my year would be 'Leap of Faith', though it would be rap song by Jay-Z with Anita Baker singing the hook.

    If you were to go on an island for an exotic weekend, what are the five things you will take along?

    Wifi, workout gear, a good book, a good woman and a good escape clause

    You seem quiet but your publicised relationship via social media and blogs just hit the rocks after 12 years. How did you handle a relationship for that long and what happened?

    I don't think relationships are things you handle or manage. Relationships are part of your life. They are part of who you are and probably the most complex thing in the world.

    Earlier this year, you did the first part of traditional introduction to your ex's family. What exactly went wrong after that?

    Wrong? I don't think I got that memo, and if that memo got circulated, I can't discuss it here. Everything about our lives here is a journey; a journey that I'm just glad to be on.

    You guys have been on and off for 12 years. Do you see yourself going back to her considering all your tweets about your ex not focusing on your relationship rather attending events and making appearances as she claims in blogs?

    I write a lot of stuff on social media. Some about me, some about life, maybe something I saw, maybe someone else's experience, maybe my mood at the time. The idea is that someone somewhere may be feeling that same thing. Sort of like the comfort you get on knowing that you're not alone when you hear a song that speaks what you feel. One thing I will say just as a general life tip, 'don't make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings.' (not my words).

    Who is your kind of woman or are you one of those who love to date women in the limelight?

    I'm like the United Nations. I have love for everyone. I feel anyone that says they would only date a particular type of person is limiting themselves from the beauty that is the human soul. It can take a lifetime to truly know someone; we are continually evolving. Two people together grow together and transform one another, just as experiences in life transform the individual. In other words, no, I'm not after women in the limelight. 

    What is your biggest regret?


    My biggest regret is not having the courage to start my company sooner, while my mother was alive. Maybe it was God's plan for me to start when the time was right, He knows best, but everyday I wish she could see by progress and be proud. It hurts to my core that she left me when I was still searching for my purpose.

    7 Ways To Trick Your Wife Into Having S*X Every Day

    Posted: 05 Jan 2014 06:45 AM PST

    images (2)









    Yes, this is another list. (I don't care, who asked you?)
    It is just for the men though as I know nothing about women. So women, please, just be on your way because this isn't for you unless you'd like to leave a copy for your husband.
    I'm going to share secrets with you that will change your life. But, when I say "secrets", you'll say, "that crap isn't secret at all. My wife tells me that all the time."
    Which brings us to number one:

    1. Listen:
    That's right; when she speaks, she usually has something to tell you. You might learn something about the single most important person in your life. Crazy, I know. Ask yourself right now: what's her favorite color, her shoe size, what does she like least about her body, what household chore does she despise, paper or plastic? You should know this stuff. She tells you all the time. You just aren't listening.
    When she starts talking about tennis bracelets in November, she's trying to help you with your Christmas shopping, Einstein.
    If you actually start listening to her, she will be so dumbfounded that she'll say "yes" to s*x just to see if you're still listening.
    2. Don't ask don't tell:
    Everybody likes to be surprised and pampered. What if just once in a while, you, without your wife's consent or assistance, arranged for a babysitter, picked her up at work and took her out to dinner?
    Now she's stunned. Her defenses are down. It's likely you're getting laid.
    3. If you use it, put it up. If you drop it, pick it up. If you spill it, clean it up:
    She's not your Momma. And, hopefully, your Momma taught you better.
    Clean up after yourself for God's sake.
    Trust me; there is little your wife finds less sexy than picking your dirty tidy whiteys up off the bathroom floor. I can say with great confidence that this is almost universally true for all women.
    Your wife is now confused. She'll wander all about the house wondering what you've done with all the messes. When she looks in the bedroom; now you've got her.
    4. Bite your tongue (or, "No, those pants do not make you look fat"):
    Nobody likes constant criticism, especially if it's from the person they'd most like to please (that's probably you). If you continually browbeat your wife, she feels less sexy and thinks you're less sexy as well. You wanna look more like George Clooney? Quit your bitching!!
    Oh, and the answer to the do these pants make me look fat question: "of course not darlin'. But, still, they're not my favorite. You really look hot in that red pair."
    5. WWAAD…what would Alan Alda do?:
    Think of all the heroes in all the movies you've ever seen. Yeah, the movies where the guy wins the girl. Do you think the hero's gonna sit on his a*s watching the WWF while the girl of his dreams has to cook his dinner while sweeping the floor with a screaming baby balanced on her hip? No, he's not. He's gonna get up and gently take the broom and mini-you from his girl and tell her, "Honey, it's probably been a long day for you, go put your feet up and let me finish dinner. Oh, and by the way, here's the remote." That's what Alan Alda would do.
    You wife is now so grateful for this selfless and heroic act, that like the proverbial damsel in distress, now rescued, she has no choice but to submit to your s*xual advances.
    Would it really kill ya' to do a load of laundry once in a while?
    6. Treat her like a thoroughbred; she'll never be a nag:
    This is the same hottie that had you twisted in knots lo those many years ago. She still needs your affirmation. She still needs to feel attractive. She still needs to feel adored. Her hair, her eyes, her smile, her legs, her touch, her mind, her spirit, her perfume, the list of things you can compliment her on is limitless. She does not want to have s*x with anyone that doesn't desire her. She has some pride, after all. If you don't make her feel desired, there are plenty of other guys out there who will…me for example.
    If you tell her everyday how sexy she is she'll begin to feel sexy, and you know what sexy girls like to do.
    7. The most secret weapon of all: No woman can resist this, so use it wisely. I do not give this piece of advice lightly for it is powerful stuff.
    Every Monday or Tuesday (it's good to change up the day once in a while just so she doesn't get complacent) I take a small amount of time out of my lunch hour and drive over to the nearest grocery store. They have a floral boutique there. I buy a single long stem rose. I take the rose to my wife's place of employment and present it to her. Oh, and don't forget the little card that goes with the rose. The card may be even more important than the flower.
    The result of this action is two-fold. One; not only is the wife thrilled that you are thinking about her but that you actually made an effort to show your affection.
    Secondly, but of no little consequence, after a few weeks of this behavior the other women at your wife's place of employment will start to become envious of her. That's right now your wife's co-workers think she's made a better choice of life partners than they did. Some of the women where she works might even snub her. Your wife will secretly delight in this. And, suddenly you are a source of pride to her. Suddenly, she must be smart and sexy and desirable to have such an attentive and devoted man. And, every time a woman walks into her office and makes a snide comment about your wife always getting roses, she's on her way home to rock your world.
    Don't tell anybody I told you.

    Mother Of Three Axes Husband To Death In Auchi

    Posted: 05 Jan 2014 06:36 AM PST

    ZENAB AGBONTINE
    ZENAB AGBONTINE
    A 35-year-old housewife identified as Zenab Agbontine has been arrested for allegedly murdering her husband, Egberise Agbontine, in Ubiane Aviele village near Auchi, Edo State in cold blood with an axe for refusing to eat the food she prepared for him after he returned from work.
    The incident was devastating so much that despite his years in the Nigeria Police and having encountered different murder cases, the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mr Foluso Adebanjo, said he still had not recovered from the shock.

    Zenab murdered her husband as he slept.
    According to her, they had allegedly been quarrelling for more than a week before she decided to permanently resolve the problem by sending Egberise to his grave in the most gruesome way conceivable.
    On the fateful day, when the husband returned from office, she prepared his meal.
    Without any foreboding that death lurked in the corner in wait for him, Egebrise took his bath and when the wife informed him that food was ready, he reportedly declined eating what she had prepared.
    Narrating the chain of events that ultimately led to the tragic death of Egberise, Zenab told Sunday Sun in an interview: "I have been having quarrels with my husband for a long time. We tried to settle the matter without success. One day, my husband came back from the office and told me that he was not interested in the marriage anymore.
    "I pleaded with him but he refused. I prepared food for him but he refused to eat the food. With annoyance he went to sleep. At about midnight when my husband was asleep I went to the kitchen and I took the axe and cut him on the neck several times, he struggled until he died. It was the devil that used me. I didn't know what prompted me to kill him but maybe because he said he was not interested in the marriage again.
    "The family of my husband should forgive me. I am calling on the elders in the community in Auchi to forgive me because it was ignorance and the devil that used me as I now realize that I didn't exercise enough patience with my husband".
    Though Zenab has resigned herself to the fate that awaits her after trial, the future of the three children she bore for the late Egberise is her major concern now.
    Amidst tears, she remarked on the bleak future of her children: "I know I will face the consequence of my action but the question is who will take care of my children? I have three children for him. Their father is dead and their mother is on the way to the prison. It is only God that will take care of my children".
    The police boss said that the suspect would soon be arraigned in court on murder charge.

    "Day I slept under the bridge" Ramsey Noah shares rags2riches story

    Posted: 05 Jan 2014 06:33 AM PST

    Celebrities have started sharing their rags to riches story to inspire people who look up to them. In a new interview with Sunday Sun, actor Ramsey Noah recalled the years before the fame and money.
    "Those were the times when things got really bad for my mother and I and we had nothing. It was so bad that we didn't have a home or shelter to live in. We had to stay in a store, a small store that could take only one mat. My mother and I squeezed ourselves in that mat. We didn't even have a cup to drink water not to talk of a stove to cook. And my mother had to borrow, beg and stuff like that. These were moments when I was young I didn't realize the gravity of poverty we were in, I couldn't tell. But it was a good orientation for me. It was moments that I thank God for making me past through, because that has sustained and helped me even as an actor. The ability to deliver all the roles they give me because I have tasted both sides of the coin." Ramsey said. Continue..
    Tell us about your growing up?
    My growing up was like tasting the two sides of a coin. When I said tasting the two sides of a coin; I mean tasting being a rich man and a poor man. I grew up with my mother, and with a silver spoon, I had it all. When I began to realize that I had good things to show off, everything disappeared. We started from grace to grass; that has helped me a lot because it totally balanced the equation of life. It gives me confidence in all spheres. For instance, I can hang out with the enlightened or the rich. I can mingle with them very easily without any complication or complex whatsoever. Also, if it is the low class or poor people, I can mingle very easily with them. I can eat a fantastic dinner in a huge, expensive restaurant and I can go eat amala at a buka and I would not feel anything. I don't care being a popular actor or a role model. I am a role model to everybody.

    Are you saying that fame has not denied you anything in life?
    It has denied me a few, but it has not denied me being as natural as I want to be. I won't let that happen. It has happened to some of my colleagues. Fame has taken them away from what they wanted to do or be. There was a time I went to a bank to pay my NEPA bill and I was wearing a short and T-shirt, because it was on Monday morning somebody came down and said 'Ramsey Noah, you are a role model, you shouldn't have been wearing this'. I didn't take it likely with him.


    With all these experiences, what has life taught you?
    Life has taught me never to look down on anybody because the person you disregard might just be your saviour tomorrow. I realized that all my mother's property was washed away by rain. We couldn't sleep all through the night because of the flood. It was really terrible. Like I said, it is a life lesson.

    Is there anything that can make you cry or shed tears after all you passed through?
    Yeah, those moments; those terrible moments when we had nothing and we were living off people. People were just helping us out. There were times we didn't have food to eat three or four days. You haven't eaten and your stomach is rumbling but you don't have any place to go. There was a time I lived on the street, in shops. There was a time I slept under the bridge. It was unfortunate that there were no records so that we can have memories we could play back now. To me, I am so extremely grateful that I went through it. At that time I hated everybody around me. In fact, I used to question why God was doing this to me. But I think God knew that I needed this for my future.
