The letter above was purportedly sent by armed robbers to people staying at a street in Karu in Abuja. It was actually posted at the street corner. This has really gome viral. These real owners of property sef...see list! Lol. Read the full letter after the cut...
Twitter user Kaylan Mahomes shared this photo of her mother and twin sister writing: "Mom, twin and me" It is hard to tell who the mother is among the three. Who do you think she is? Left, Centre or right?
"We met on Bumble, er…a bumble bee stung him, and he had an allergic reaction! I, uh, basically saved his life."
It all starts innocently enough. Someone asks you and your guy, " Sooo…how did you two meet?"
Suddenly, you're sweating, scrambling for an explanation for the completely unromantic way you paired up: on a dating app.
Think of something, quick! "We met on Bumble, er…a bumble bee stung him, and he had an allergic reaction! I, uh, basically saved his life."
Or "We met on JSwipe…I mean, swiping credit cards! He was buying the exact same snowblower. Fate."
Admit it, we're all a little obsessed with how-we-met stories. We grow up thinking all great romances must have an equally romantic backstory (thanks, Disney!), as if it's a reflection of the relationship. And it's why Instagram accounts like The Way We Met, a feed of pics and stories from real couples, has more than 255,000 followers—a sort of New York Times Vows section for millennials.
And yet, you are not your story. Proof: Once upon a time, a young, charismatic guy strolling the boardwalk struck up a conversation about philosophy with a pretty girl.
Sweet, right? Well, his name was Charles Manson, and she became one of his cult members. So why do we place so much significance on these stories (especially since 38 percent of singles have met online or via mobile app, according to a Pew Research Center survey)?
"In the U.S., there's this focus on the fairy tale of falling in love," says Ty Tashiro, PhD, author of The Science of Happily Ever After. "From childhood, those are the stories you hear, so people try to shape their experience of meeting their partner and falling in love to fit that cultural narrative."
But lovey-dovey tales are increasingly difficult to find. Your grandparents might have met when he accidentally delivered a newspaper to the wrong house on his bike route. Your parents may have exchanged mix tapes when they were both just friends in a computer class.
But you? You'll be explaining to your grandchildren, "I saw his height listed at 5 feet 11 and I was completely smitten!" In an age when first encounters involve swiping right on someone's face, things can feel, well, not so magical.
"People used to be embarrassed to say they met at a bar," says Daniel Jones, author of Love Illuminated. "That was like the Tinder of old. Now, meeting at a bar would seem so authentic by comparison."
How to deal with a seemingly weak story? Well, you could, like many couples who met à la internet, just make one up. "My girlfriend tells people we met at Bible camp, so then when we eventually say 'Tinder,' it usually gets a laugh," says David, 29, who has been with Ana, 26, for more than a year.
"I met my boyfriend on Grindr, but for the sake of not sounding slutty, we told everyone we met on OkCupid," says John, 32, who didn't think friends would take his relationship seriously if they knew he met him on an app, famous for encouraging one-night stands.
The good news: By the time you sit down to tell your grandkids your story, it will probably sound a whole lot more charming than whatever space-hologram technology they'll be working with. Plus, like most stories, making yours sound interesting is all in the delivery. If you believe your meeting rivals Fitz and Olivia's, so will everyone else. Even one of us, Angela, used to mumble her story: "We met on OkCupid." Then with a slight tweak of attitude, she found the romance in their tale: "He texted me after our first date to stop eating Lean Cuisines because he would cook for me. That sealed the deal." Instead of saying how you met online, recounting the defining moment that got you hooked (finding out you both binge-watched Master of None in one night) or his first sweet gesture (messaging your BFF to figure out your favorite restaurant) will make your story sound great to anyone. Then again, you could just commit to the online bit and say how he kept matching with you on multiple apps and who were you to mess with destiny?
"Not all the stories on The Way We Met are cute because of the way they met," says Brooklyn Sherman, the keeper of the account. "Every story has something special—it's all about finding details that excite people."
If we're all being real, it doesn't matter how you met. It's that you did.
Lane and Spera's new book, This Is Why You're Single, is out now.
Lady Gaga attended last night's 27th annual Producers Guild of America Awards to give an emotional performance of her Oscar-nominated track, "Til It Happens to You"—the theme song for the 2015 documentary about sexual assault on college campus,
The Hunting Ground.
Before her set began, Gaga spoke about her own experience with sexual assault: "I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported this film. It's not only an important issue to me but it's an important issue to my family.
Because when my father's sister was in college, she was sexually assaulted and then it caused her so much torment that it caused the lupus that she had to get so bad that she died."
"My father was 16 and it affected my family really tremendously my whole life," she added. "So this song means so much to me and so much to my parents."
The most difficult thing for men these days is moving from the ‘friend zone’ to the ‘having sex zone’ especially if the friend in question is a hottie that you’ve spent good time fantasising about having sex with. If you’re one of the naughty guys who’s keen on having sex with one of your hot female friends, here’s a step to step guide to follow.
Why Have Sex With Your Friend?
I doubt if there’s any man out there that hasn’t had a friend that’s sexy enough for them to think of having sex with. Seriously, there times it feels good to be bad especially when you’d be crossing boundaries. More so, in these days where hormones are raging faster than they are produced, its difficult to stay single and off potentially available friends when almost everyone around you is in love.
More so, friends share everything lovers share except perhaps for physical intimacy which is something you’re looking for right?
Doing The Deed With Your Friend
Female friends are always there to cheer us up, hang out with or lift our spirit when the chips are down. They also help to cure our boredom while providing that comfort of a friend you can tell anything as opposed to someone you’re dating. But they can sure cheer you up in bed too if they’re hot and you have sparks flying around.
We have a lot of one night stands and sexual relationships these days and bringing to the fore your carnal or lustful desires shouldn’t be much of a problem. It can start with something as basic as a bug which can lead to heavy petting. At this stage, sharing a drink or two with her can do a lot to loosen both her stiffness and yours and giving you a clearer direction of the way to your bedroom for the desired lustful lovemaking.
Now you’ve had sex and you’re wondering if that singular act will change all the years of friendship or if you both will take it in stride and maintain a cool ‘sex-buddy’ relationship.
The fact is that if you both decide to become sex buddies, you’d both continually share uninhibited physical intimacy, with no strings attached! If you’re up for this, you’d have to understand that both you and your friend are allowed to hang out with other people. The honest truth is that friends have always had sex with friends from time immemorial but it’s something people have always shied away from talking about.
With the increase in work hours and people that are potentially unavailable for relationships, the prospect of friends just hoping to have sex with a friend or friends just rubbing the shoulders is enticing to say the least. It’s no longer strange to have one night stands and believe it or not, having sex with friends is here to stay.
Booty Calls
Now you’ve attained the legendary status of ‘sex-buddies’ and you’re now at the booty call stage where you call your friend exclusively for the sole purpose of having sex. The best time to initiate these calls is when they are bored and craving some sort of fun after a long boring day. It may also be that they are also in the mood for some booty call experience. Whichever way it is, the best time for this is at night and after a couple.of drinks. Or perhaps, they too just want to have sex with a friend. The booty call stage with your friend is one that you should be careful about since you already have an idea what their body looks like and the chances of you getting a sexually transmitted infection is less but things can quickly spiral out of control with either of you wanting to move things into the relationship zone. It’s best to keep things simple and devoid of complications by setting out rules at this stage.
Now that you understand how to go about it, are you up to having sex with your friend?

OK, this is getting interesting. Remember the story of the five Brooklyn teenagers accused of gang raping an 18 year old girl in a playground in New York on Jan. 8th? (Read here)...the story is getting more complicated. They released new cell phone video evidence claiming there was no rape.
They also claimed that they walked in on the girl having sex with her own father in the park and joined in. This is their own version of the story. Not sure I believe it. Continue..
Here is what the NY Daily News is reporting:
A brother of one suspect came forward earlier in the day with an unverified 10-second video, shot with a cell phone, showing a smiling girl who’s naked from the waist down — supposedly the victim — sitting with a young man.
“You saying yeah?” says a voice off-camera. “It’s lit” — meaning the youths had the go-ahead for sexual relations with the 18-year-old woman, according to Billy Anderson, brother of suspect Ethan Phillip.
A cell phone was recovered, and the NYPD was seeking a search warrant to scour its contents, a police source said. One teen told cops he shot video of the victim and sent it to a relative, the source said.
Anderson said he was told the teens spied the victim and her father having sex on a tennis court when they arrived at the park, and they challenged the dad’s claim of getting chased away with a gun.
“No man in his right mind would leave their daughter like that,” Anderson told the Daily News.
"I'm just as confused" as the rest of us are over her sister Kylie Jenner and Tyga's relationship,
Khloé Kardashian recently told E! News. Not the fact that they're together, that is (Khloé is a fierce cheerleader for Kylie getting that D, remember) but also yes, the fact that they're together — or not, because Kylie and Tyga are so on/off right now.
"That's the life of an 18-year-old," Khloé continued, "so I stopped asking [Kylie], because it's confusing and I hate telling people, 'Oh, they broke up' and then all of a sudden, someone pulls in my driveway and I'm like, 'Oh, shit, I thought we were done with this one.'"
Khloé is pretty sure that sister Kendall and Harry Styles are dating though; in news on her other siblings also, she told
E! that Rob is making good strides so far this year, following the diabetes diagnosis which saw his 2015 end on a particularly low note. "I know it's only eight days of this year but I think I've seen such a great transformation just mentally right now. So I hope that sticks," she said, "and I'm always praying and rooting for Rob."
