(Must read) The Difficult Stages In The Life Of A Nigerian Graduate.....

The most difficult age for any man born in Nigeria should be between 24 and 29 years, the pressure to be something, to be someone is so immense.

When you look around you everyone seems to be doing something for themselves, people seem to be living a life you only dream of. You have applied for jobs and the results have been more disappointing than Yakubu Aiyegbeni penalty kick at the world cup.

Sadly this is the age when most guys lose it, the age when if not careful one is consumed by alcohol or drugs, because the disappointments become too much and you find alternative ways to face reality. Worse is when a few people you studied with have been lucky enough to land jobs, soon your circle of friends gets thinner – mostly they don’t even cut you out but you will be real with yourself and cut yourself off. I mean what will you do when you are in a WhatsApp group of friends and they are discussing about last week’s trip in Dubai and planning another trip South Africa while you are not sure of what your next meal would be? Most times you follow the conversation silently, all alone like a cross on the grave. Soon you realize this is no longer your kind of crowd because the more you keep around the more the pressure to be something, takes a toll on you.

You know when stories about house parties come up and you act deaf because you don’t know where an extra 5 guys would fit in your house. Have you ever sat in a group of people discussing the new iPhone on the market or how British Airways offers poo services and you can feel your heart whisper to you “boss this is chest pain hour, can we just go and find a group that talks about GMAT, SHLn Dragnet, jobberman or job vacancies sites“.

But you sit there as these people are lost in their lifestyle conversations, you are like a secretary taking minutes in meeting. You are totally forgotten like one of a woman’s breasts during pre-intimacy. Once in a while one of the friends will turn and ask if you need another drink and you wonder if you should just say No and head home, but head home to do what? So you grudgingly drop in the comment “I will have just one last one“ Lie.

But after a few years of job hunting, you are now ready to take anything even if is to smell a rich man’s farts as long as it pays , so you end up as an office messenger in one blue chip company in town. To imagine that 4-5 years of studying and getting a degree is now reduced to picking and dropping off letters and if you are not doing that, you are being sent for cheap lunch by the employees when they are broke and they can’t order with fast food. This is when conversations about where people schooled start, you go silent for it’s no longer of any use to say you also reached University, it doesn’t matter – you have resorted to surviving.

Once in while you will bump into your now well to do classmates, they would offer you lunch, but not even eating the meals at Eko Hotel or Sheraton will make you feel better about yourself, because in your mind you wish instead they would give you the 30k and you sort your meals for the next 5 weeks. As it is the norm you will have photos taken, and uploaded on Facebook, but always it’s your face that would look the odd one out – not even the best filters can hide a face which has suffered the city’s dust and sun but survives on boiled beans.

The worst mistake you can do during this period is to try and date – there is nothing that a person going through such times can offer in terms of love.

How are you going to do evening romantic walks when you are tired from walking delivering letters in offices around town? What are you going to tell your lady when she says she wants to go for relaxation at the bar, pool or love garden sites that are in town? That your financial religion doesn’t allow it or what? This is the age when you sit back and watch as the ladies you would want to date are dating or getting married to guys 10 years older than you.

And you can’t blame them – it’s only that your life seems to be progressing slower than their goals in life. Most of the ladies you meet during this period, if you are lucky will be patient with you till you hit 28, and if by then your life is still in disarray like Liverpool’s and Chelsea’s performance in the EPL then my friend be prepared for a walk out. But then this is the age when you learn a lot of about life, if you can hack through this stage of life the only hard moment in your life would be when you lose your parents – that’s if you are still lucky enough to have them.

This stage teaches you a lot about perseverance, about appreciating the small wins you have each day, it teaches you something about friendship, love, career growth and personal responsibility.

This is always your rise or fall moment depending on the choices you make. How you live your life in the 30’s is determined by how you handled your life in this phase

Chibok Girls Are Alive! Senator advises FG on how to rescue them....

The Senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, Shehu Sani, has assured that the missing Chibok girls will be found and counseled that the FG must negotiate with some persons to rescue the girls.

Speaking in Akure on Wednesday as a discussant at a symposium held as part of the 40th Anniversary of Ondo State and the 7th anniversary of the Olusegun Mimiko-led administration, Senator Shehu Sani, has assured Nigerians that the missing Chibok school girls will be found.

The senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, advised that the Federal Government must negotiate with some persons to ‘extract’ the girls from their current danger.

He also said that current events in the country had revealed that the reign of bloodshed by Boko Haram in the last seven years was sustained by the greed of a few who profited from the situation. “Something that has bothered some of us here in line with the insurgency is, when will the Chibok girls be freed.

Someone said the Chibok girls will never be free, but I can tell you that they will be free and they are alive.” It can be recalled that in the past, Senator Sani was named as a contact person through which the Nigerian government sought to negotiate with Boko Haram. A civil society leader at the time, Mr. Sani later accused the former Goodluck Jonathan government of not showing sufficient commitment to the proposed talks.

Speaking in Akure, the lawmaker noted that besides the use of force, the government must explore other ways of rescuing the girls.

“There are two ways to get them: the first is to use force to free them and before you apply force, you have to know where they are. You also have to weigh the consequences of raiding the camp with such number of persons, because the insurgents have nothing to lose.

“The second option is to explore ways of extracting them out through negotiation and negotiation is still possible. There are a few people, not a panel of eminent Nigerians or a panel, there are a few people who the government needs to reach out to,” he said.

He also explained that the girls could be rescued in the first instance, because the parties could not make concession. “They said they were going to free the girls on the condition we freed their people. And when we came to the negotiating table, and the government said it cannot free the terrorists because they have done a lot of harm,” he recalled.

The senator also said that Boko Haram is a terrorist group with a leadership and a theocratic agenda.

“For those who have been following events in the last six to seven years, we have seen how some of us from the north, particularly myself, I tried to find an alternative means of addressing the problem of the insurgence.

“I took the risk of reaching out to the insurgents and initiating a process of dialogue, about three to four times and it was sabotaged by those who were benefitting from the bloodshed and I think the unfolding events in the country clearly shows to all Nigerians that there were people who see that seven years of bloodshed, of mass murder, of genocide as an opportunity for them to amass wealth.

“It is not possible to say that an insurgent group or people not more than two to three thousand have proved so difficult for a nation of 175 million people to crush. A nation like ours with a reputable armed forces and have performed creditably well in peace keeping missions in Liberia and sierra Leone and Congo and other countries of the world.

“It was so clear that some see it as an opportunity, like the Chinese saying, some people see crisis as a struggle, others see it as an opportunity. That is why it dragged on for so long, but I hope with the present administration, at least progress has been made in terms of degrading the capacity and ability of Boko Haram to take up territories.”

17 solid Facts You Should Know If You Are Dating A Short Girl.....

I am presently dating a shorter lady and have found out these little facts about her and her type for these past 14months we’ve been together. Here are 17 tips for you to enjoy your relationship if you are or about to get into a relationship with a shorter lady.

1. Everything she does is cute and adorable, but do not tell her she’s cute or adorable. She wants to be a s3-xy goddess, not “cute.” This means she wants you to make her feel like she’s Gisele even though she’s tiny.

2. Also “TINY” is not a cute pet name. Call her babe, baby, bae — whatever. But do not call her tiny, shorty or small for that matter (unless you’ve cleared it with her and she’s down with that nickname).

3. Please don’t ask to pick or carry her up. She isn’t a puppy or a baby. She wants to know you respect her. If she wants you to pick her up, she’ll most likely run and jump on you like she’s re enacting a scene from Hollywood movie The Notebook.

4. Though She doesn’t discriminate against shorter guys, but she has her eye on tall men maybe that was why she prefered you to that short dude. Why? She wants to give her kids a shot at being tall one day, and in her dreams, her 5-foot-2 self + your 6-foot-3 self = a 5-foot-9 daughter/son.

5. One important point I’ve come to realize is that What she lacks in height, she makes up for in personality. There’s a good chance your petite new love interest is a “firecracker,” as some say, which will make you love her even more.

6. You’ll most likely have to bend down or at least strain your neck every time you want to kiss her. But it will be so worth the crick in your neck that you’ll probably get once in a while… And remember she will also have to leap ova to kiss you too.

7. Never for any reason underestimate her. She might be small in size but I can bet she’s probably tougher than you… ask me?

8. Don’t rest your arm on top of her head. It makes her feel like her neck is going to break (note: It was made to support the weight of her pretty little head only, possibly along with a motorcycle helmet) If you’re that kind of guy, your arm on her head makes her look like your kid sister, not your lover.

9. She likes being little. Don’t make it sound like a bad thing. After all, she can wear the highest heels without looking ridiculous, which she knows makes her tall friends jealous.

10. If you keep things where she can’t reach them, she will always make you get them for her everytime. So please don’t put her poo on a high shelf… except.

11. She will always be in high heels, so don’t expect to be able to walk to dinner. And if you do want a romantic night of walking around town, let her know in advance so girlfriend can at least wear a wedge.

12. She is really good at crawling into small places, like the window of your apartment that you’re locked out of. So, on the off chance that you left your window open, she’s got this and you’ll be chilling on your couch in no time.

13. Hold her hand. Always. It’s actually pretty scary to be lost in a crowd of people taller than you, so hang on tight and don’t let go of her.

14. Any time she wants to tell you something in your ear, be prepared to bend down to her level. Unless of course you’re sitting down. Then it’s much easier to communicate.

15. Unlike the tall girl you last dated, you can put her in almost any position you want when you’re fooling around. Think Cirque de Soleil-like positions like these. Yes, this could be your best reality.

16. When you meet her IRL, she doesn’t need to be reminded that she’s tiny. She knows how petite she is, but just because you might be seeing her/learning this information for the first time doesn’t mean you need to voice it. So, when you do finally meet her on your first date, do NOT tell her that she looks so much taller in her Instagram photos. Because that, my friend, is a backhanded compliment.

17. She makes one hell of a little spoon, very stubborn. But She’ll be the yin to your yang and all will be right in your world.

This Woman was Arrested In US For Going Unclad In Front Of Police (Photos)

A Nigerian woman kicked out a police car window after being arrested for disorderly conduct and getting Unclad in front of police officers.

The woman, Iyana Sade Llanos, 25, who is a dancer was taken into custody after police responded to a call of two women arguing at The Office Gentleman’s Club in Miami, Florida.

Officers arrived at the club to find Llanos outside the strip club screaming profanities.

When the officers confronted her, she began taking off her clothes and continued shouting at them. The officers reportedly told Sade several times to put her clothes back on but she refused. She was said to have smelled of alcohol. She then began telling the officers: ‘Take me to jail.’

Sade was placed in hand restraints and put in the back of the car, wrapped in a yellow blanket. While she was en route to jail, she kicked out a police car window and had to be taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami to be treated for minor injuries, officers said.

Sade will likely be charged with criminal mischief. She will go to jail after she’s released from the hospital.
