Ja Rule, Ashanti ...... & Warri Fans

Rapper Ja.

 Rule and R &B singer, Ashanti have always proved to be “the best pair” on stage serenading music lovers across the world. And last Wednesday’s performance was not different as the American superstars kept fun seekers, in Warri, Delta State, grooving throughout the night in the spirit of marking the nation’s 54th Independence anniversary.

JaRule and Ashanti

The show, “Warri Again”, organised by Brownhill Event Centre, saw a galaxy of Nigerian artistes and comedians sharing the stage with the international artistes. It was indeed, a show of class and glamour as there was no dull moment while it lasted.

Despite the heavy downpour that almost marred the show, hordes of revellers continued swarming the event venue to catch a glimpse of the concert.

Ace-comedian, Ali Baba and songstress, Omawumi, who anchored the show, were in their best elements, dishing out rib-cracking jokes. The show kicked off at about 10 pm, with Seyi Shay mounting the stage to thrill the quality audience with her electrifying performance.

Thereafter, reggae-dancehall singer and songwriter, Patoranking took the floor and rendered his wave-making single “Girlie O”, But when he sang “Alubarika”, the audience took to their heels as they danced to the rhythm of the song.

Iyanya also thrilled the audience with sexy dance steps, just as the highlife musician, Flavour got a standing ovation after performing “Ada Ada”. Other artistes that gave good accounts of themselves were Daddy Showkey, Yemi Alade and Orisefemi.

But the turning point of the show was when Ja Rule and Ashanti appeared on stage. The two set the stage on fire with their freestyling to the beat of Ashanti’s chart-topping hit “Foolish.”

Ashanti also had the crowd roaring with her sexual dance moves and dancehall whining. It has been more than 13 years since Ashanti’s single “Foolish” was released on her debut album, and the audience still goes wild as if it were still fresh.

Ja Rule stayed true to his rap and rhyme, while Ashanti gave her classic “Ashanti” R&B vocals on the chorus. While their performance lasted, the elated audience kept standing, shouting and hailing the artistes. They proved to their Warri fans that the dawn to dusk wait was not in vain.

..Oritsefemi disappoints fans!

Oritsefemi

For Warri fans who were looking forward to watching their idol perform on stage were disappointed when the “Double Wahala” crooner, Oritsefemi mounted the stage and gave a poor account of himself.

The expectation was very high among the audience as he took the floor to perform his reigning song, “Double Wahala.” But no sooner he had raised the tempo than it dropped. Unable to continue performing, however, the wave-making singer suddenly disappeared from the stage, leaving his fans whispering and asking for more. His performance did not last up to 3 minutes before he disappeared from the stage.

Many suspected that the Delta State born singer ran out of energy, and quickly disappeared to save himself from being embarrassed on stage. It was so bad that a member of the audience threw a water bottle at him, which he grabbed immediately before disappearing from the stage. It was a show of shame for Oritsefemi.

…Davido to refund payment?

If there is one artiste, fun seekers in Warri were looking forward to beholding at the event, the artiste was Davido. But unfortunately, the “Aye” crooner was conspicuously missing in action.

Showtime gathered that the award-winning singer missed his flight to Warri, on the D-day, hence he could not it make to the show. No one knows whether the organisers would compel him to refund the amount paid to him for the show.

But in his absence, Wizkid took the shine at the one-stop event. The crowd erupted into uncontrollable excitement when Wizkid mounted the stage and rendered some of his hits songs.

Shouts of Wizkid rented the air as he jumped from end of the stage to the other with his female fans struggling to grab his hands. Overwhelmed by the reaction of the audience, the Starboy dipped his hand into his back pocket and pulled out a bundle of N1000 notes which he threw into the crowd. Also, he removed his cap and his unisex sunglasses and threw them into the crowd

Super Eagles can beat Sudan, says Siasia

A former Super Eagles coach, Samson Saisia, says he is optimistic that the Super Eagles can win their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Sudan on Saturday.

Saisia told the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Abuja that with enough motivation and team work, the Eagles would win the match.

“I believe the players and officials know what is at stake. I am also happy that the Nigeria Football Federation has settled down after the election, so efforts will be geared toward winning the match,’’ he said.

He noted that the Eagles had the potential to win and urged the team to work extra hard to get the three points at stake.

“I believe that there is nothing impossible as far as the Super Eagles are concerned because most times, we come in from a difficult terrain and then see ourselves through.

“We want to believe that such will also be our portion this time. But, all of us really have to work together. The NFA, the technical crew and the players really have to work together to achieve this feat,’’ the coach said.

NAN reports that Sudan will host Nigeria  on Saturday in continuation of the qualifying series for the 2015 AFCON.

The return leg of the fixture will take place in Nigeria on October 15.

[Attention ladies] How to make a guy crave you

We women are very good at making ourselves desirable in the beginning of a relationship but really bad at keeping the attraction after the initial "oh-wow!" wears off and the man you've been dating for weeks or months starts to lose interest. How do you make sure that doesn't happen with your new catch?

Before I get to that, let's be clear on why most men lose interest in a woman after only a few dates. There are several different reasons for each man and woman (intellectual, emotional, financial, sexual, spiritual, social etc.) but it all comes down to ONE thing and that is, his PERCEPTION of what it'll be like if he continued to date you.

So how to you make sure his perception of you continues to make him want to date you? How do you keep him interested in you? How do you make him want you more than any other woman? How do you make him stay faithful to you?

The most common advice out there is that to make him desire you more, don't call him or pretend to be busy or dangle sex in front of him but withhold it when he comes for it. The problem with this kind of advice is that you can't create a relationship that is going to have enough depth by maneuvering people around their better judgment. There is eventually a negative backlash and you may find out that you've wasted so much time and energy on a man' who is not worth it or one who is simply not into you!

There is nothing wrong with "playing hard to get" if it means creating enough mystery and sexual tension that makes a man feel good about himself, his initial perception of you and his feelings about the future of the relationship.

Let me explain a little bit about "sexual tension" in this particular regard. The extremely distorted misconception in our society is that the "sexual" is only limited to sex and therefore the mention of "sexual tension" immediately conjures images of actions and behaviours immediately leading to sexual intercourse- bathing and applying fragrance, putting on your sexiest clothes, rubbing his feet or nibbling his ear, or giving him any other nonverbal signals that suggest that you want and are ready for sexual intercourse. These actions and behaviours may and can get you "sex" but they do not necessarily make a man sexually attracted to you.

Regardless of terminology and explanations, sexual attraction is distinct from, but always includes physical characteristics (physical state of the body and body-language fluency), mental characteristics (thought process, beliefs and attitudes), emotional characteristics (moods and attachment patterns), social characteristics (interpersonal skills and ability to get along) and spiritual characteristics (sense of self and connection to the a higher power). It is in that sense wholistic in nature and sometimes a complex situation.

Your man -- like most men -- was initially drawn to an intimate relationship with you (more than friends) because he perceived you to be sexually attractive. He may have liked "other" things about you but the sexual attraction provided that extra oomph that moved him to take the necessary steps to pursue you. Sexual attraction is a kind of a regenerating energy that makes men (and women) quiver with sensation and anticipation (pounding heart, butterflies in the stomach, sweating palms, weak knees, euphoria and so forth). Alone, it can not evolve into a lasting relationship but without it, the relationship lacks the fire and passion to sustain the relationship in a fulfilling way.

If you want to keep your man interested in you and make him want you more than any other woman you must not only make sure that his initial perception of you remains but that it is confirmed again and again. Even better, make sure that it exceed his initial perception and keep making it better by the minute.

To be able to do that you have to be very clear on what his own very SEXUAL IMPRINT is. Each man is unique and has a particular combination of things (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, social, etc.) that make his inner clock tick. That is what you have to figure out and work with. No flirting skills or seduction techniques or even silly dating rules will work if you are missing what TRULY appeals to his very OWN SEXUAL IMPRINT.

Physically
The biggest mistake men and women make is assume that one size fits-all and all men are attracted to the SAME women's features. I've seen women so pre-occupied with their busts: lifting them, thrusting them forward and pulling the neckline down and all the while the man she is with is checking out the woman in a mini-skirt standing over there and she's not even looking his direction. I've also met women who are really angry because they spent thousands of dollars trying lose weight and be more attractive to their guys only for them to find out that their men are cheating on them with women nowhere as skinny or the men leave the relationship to pursue the "not skinny" woman. Knowing what his natural inclinations are allows you to focus specifically on accentuating and emphasizing particular physical aspects for the greatest appeal.

Mentally
Mental stimulation has very little to do how high you score on an IQ test or how many academic degrees you have. It is possible for a man or woman to be fantastically "brainy" and not be someone you can have a stimulating intellectual conversation with. Another word for that is boring. To be intellectually attractive to your man you must not only become somewhat knowledgeable and be able to follow him with curiosity, interest, and intelligence into the world that he finds interesting and mentally stimulating but also capable of leading him into your own world in an interesting and stimulating way. This intellectual and mutual exchange of worlds ensures an easy and continual flow of mental attraction back and forth.

Emotionally
The field of emotional attraction is still relatively new and many of us in modern societies are just beginning to learn the healthiest ways of dealing with emotions. However, that doesn't change the fact that our human psyche has been pre-programmed to be uniquely sensitive to the intensity, smoothness, regularity, and rhythm of human emotions, and whether we gain or lose energy from being around a particular person. It is not possible to scientifically measure how much energy we gain or lose from being around a particular person, but for whatever reason, some people are easy to be around and some aren't. By taking time to really zero on the common "mood of life" that the two of you share, you are more likely to be able to make him feel that you are special and believe with great certainty that you bring enjoyment, excitement, arousal, intimacy, nurturance, or some reward related to personal expansion into his life.

Spiritually
This is probably the most neglected aspect of sexual attraction. Spirituality and sexuality are inseparable and meant to go together. When spirituality is ignored, sexuality is suppressed, unhealthy and perverted and when sexuality is denied, spirituality is misused, damaging and confining. But when spirituality and sexuality are nurtured as inseparable, we experience "?heaven on earth". Integrating spirituality and sexuality into your sense of self makes you more relaxed - free spirited, open minded, present within the now moment, connected with your environment - a state which allows sexual energy to flow through your mind and body creating an intense aura of effortless sex appeal. You don't even have to learn any techniques on flirting or seduction because everything you do is so damn sexy without you even intending to make it sexy.

With a little more understanding of how SEXUAL IMPRINTS operate (there is more) and more practice using them, you can make a man desire and crave you so much that he's stuck on you - after all you're basically the only woman who has his "number" and can punch it anywhere anytime.

There is nothing you can do to make a man "love you", he has to come to that place on his own, but you can certainly make him feel good about his initial perception of you and what it'll be like if he continued to date you. The more "positive" he feels, the faster he moves towards that place of "love". 
 

It's not too late to start cultivating a sexual magnetism you've only up to now dreamed about! 

[Attention Guys] How to Stay Mysterious & Make Her Crave you

Most guys think that being ‘mysterious’ means acting like a lame Edward from those Twilight movies. Hiding away in the shadows of the night and being a whiny- invisible douche isn’t being mysterious. When you do this you’re setting your image up as a weak wimpy chump who will only get laid through something called ‘pity sex.’ Pathetic.

I’ve never seen or read any of the Twilight series, but I can only imagine that my penis would get sucked into my stomach if we promoted those movies.

Being mysterious means that she is constantly thinking about you in a way that makes her crave your presence. Think about it this way, you know when you meet a really cool hot girl, get her phone number, and she disappears from every line of communication; then, without hesitation, you find yourself checking her facebook, dreaming about her, even staring at her phone number; wondering where she is at the moment because you just want to see and talk to her again?

Holy shit balls, what a long sentence.

Yeah, it’s like that. Sounds creepy, but you know it’s true. Well, we call this the ‘Intrigue Hole.’

Simply, the Intrigue Hole is when you crave to know what you’re missing, have a huge assumption that what you’re missing out on is a good thing, and you’re wondering how you can see or view this good thing again.

Hot girls push us into this hole all the time, it’s now time to switch it on them.

Stay Mysterious

The easiest way to stay mysterious is by crafting your hobbies, work, and anything which you think defines you. This also includes your family and friends in your life. By having a strong sense of identity and passiones you’ll leave the girl wondering and wanting to know more about you. People crave information and the more you know and have, the more she’ll want to be a part of your world.

Take for example George Clooney. He is not only an actor but also a business man who has friends all over the world, villas, and other hidden talents. Don’t you want to know where these villas are located? Who he knows? And the secret talents he has?

You may not be as talented or as rich as George Clooney (who cares), but you sure have a ton of things in your life that are special to you and if any girl learns about it she’ll fall straight into your arms.

I’m not saying this means that when you meet the girl you blurt out that you miss your grandfather, your idol, who died three years ago. Sentimental and inspiring yes, but the timing could creep her out. Ease her way to your life… slowly.

A way of doing this is by giving her clues to who you are during the conversation, clues to the information that she’ll hear soon only if she stays with you for a little while longer.

Scene #1

Her: Why do you like my shoes?

You: It’s something my sister wears and she’s right about the people who wear them…

Her: What does she say about them?

You: Well, my awesome 10 year old sister always tell me that those shoes are…

Scene #2

Her: Wait, where are you going?

You: I’ll tell you on the way as I walk to the coffee shop…

Her: *She Follows as you tell her a little more about your life*

Do you see what’s happening here? These clues create a sense of expectations that she’ll soon figure out your identity, who you are, and what you’re all about if she hangs out with you more.

People may think this is called “stringing them along,* but it’s not. You’re only stringing her along if you DO NOT tell her the information you promised her. And, you should have a shitload of information about yourself if your hobbies, work, friends, and any other passions you have are kept up to date.

Guys who don’t have their own identity or have a world that she wants to know about is going to be left out. You may be fun and make her laugh, but in the end she won’t crave you. You’ll just be another guy who doesn’t offer any intrigue, any mystery.

In one of our next articles we’ll talk about how to control this intrigue and keep her wanting to hang out with you more… but that’s for a later time.

Tomorrow we will focus on how to make him want to so ladies stay tuned ..... *winks*

President Goodluck Condemns Being Named Sixth Richest African President, Demands Apology!

Punchng yesterday published a controversial article that claimed that President Goodluck is the 6th richest African president....and in a swift response, the presidency has faulted this claim. Read details below:

The Presidency on Wednesday faulted the listing of President Goodluck Jonathan by a website, RichestLifestyle.com, as the sixth richest African President.

It described the publication as another attempt to portray the President as a corrupt leader and incite public disaffection against him.

The Presidency’s position was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.

Abati said there was no factual basis for Jonathan to be listed as the sixth richest African Head of State with a net worth of about $100 million.

He therefore demand a retraction and an unreserved apology from the website and all those who have reproduced the article he called offensive.

He threatened that the Presidency would not hesitate to institute a libel case against the authors if they failed to retract the article.

The statement read, “We have noted with consternation the listing of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by a website – RichestLifestyle.com – as the sixth richest African President with an estimated net worth of $100 Million.

“The Presidency condemns the totally unwarranted inclusion of President Jonathan in the publication titled ‘Africa’s Richest Presidents 2014′ as another attempt to unjustifiably portray the President as a corrupt leader and incite public disaffection against him.

“We categorically assert that there is no factual basis for ranking President Jonathan as the sixth richest African Head of State with a net worth of about $100 Million.

“As is well known, President Jonathan has never been a businessman or entrepreneur, but a life-long public servant. The President has held public office since 1999 and has regularly declared his assets as required by Nigerian laws. He has had no personal income since 1999 other than his official remuneration as deputy governor, governor, vice president, acting president and president which are matters of public record.

“There has been no significant variation in the totality of his personal assets as contained in his last declaration to the Nigerian Code of Conduct Bureau in 2011 which, as can be verified, was a very, very far cry from the $100 million figure now being bandied about by Richest Lifestyle.com and other irresponsible, copy-cat publications.

“The clear and unacceptable imputation of the claim that President Jonathan is now worth about $100 Million is that the President has corruptly enriched himself while in office which is certainly not the case.

“We therefore demand a retraction and an unreserved apology from Richest Lifestyle.com and all those who have reproduced the offensive article.

“Otherwise, they should be prepared to substantiate their libelous claims against the President in courts of law within and outside Nigeria.”

Ebola Elder Relative Marburg Virus kills Ugandan!!!

The Ugandan Ministry of Health is reporting today that a 30-year-old male health care worker died of Marburg hemorrhagic fever on September 30.

The gentleman had been a radiographer, or X-ray technician, at the Mpigi Health Centre IV, but was recruited two months ago for a similar position at Mengo Hospital, about 20 miles (33 km) away. When he felt ill on September 17, he traveled back to Mpigi for treatment since “he felt more confortable with a facility that he had worked with for a long time.”Today’s statement from Elioda Tumwesigye, Minister of State for General Duties & Holding the Portfolio of Minister for Health, describes a total of 80 people who were in contact with the man have been identified and isolated to follow for signs and symptoms during the 21-day incubation period, the same incubation period for Ebola.

Most concerning is that 38 of the contacts are health care workers from Mengo Hospital, including the man’s brother, and 22 health care workers from Mpigi Health Center IV. The remaining 20 contacts are residents of the Kasese districtThe official reports that the man’s brother has already developed signs consistent with Marburg infection. He has been quarantined and isolated for further monitoring while his blood samples are being analyzed at the Uganda Virus Research Institute.

Marburg is one of the five members of the family of filoviruses, to which Ebola belongs. Like Ebola, a person infected with Marburg will experience a sudden onset of fever. The most common additional signs are headache, joint and muscle pains, vomiting blood, and bleeding through body openings. The disease has a two to 21-day incubation period and, like Ebola, has no cure other than supportive treatment.

Sarepta Therapeutics of Cambridge, Massachusetts, has been developing an RNA-interfering drug against Marburg virus as part of a collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense. The drug, called AVI-7288, is targeted against the nucelocapsid protein of Marburg virus. In March, the company reported infection protection rates of up to 83% to 100% in non-human primates when given at up to four days post-infection. As a result, Sarepta initiated a multiple, ascending dose Phase I safety trial in humans in May.

Tekmira Pharmaceuticals of Burnaby, British Columbia, has a lipid nanoparticle, RNA interfering drug that also protects non-human primates from Marburg infection. This work, done with Thomas Geisbert at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, appeared in Science Translational Medicine in August. There, the drug is called NP-718m-LNP, but Tekmira’s website currently calls it TKM-Marburg

Kent State University infectious disease specialist, Tara C. Smith, PhD, wrote an excellent history of Marburg virus in 2007. The 1967 discovery of the virus precedes that of Ebola (1976), but occurred outside of Africa, in Marburg, Germany.

Dr. Smith writes,

“The year was 1967. Several laboratory workers, all from the same lab in Marburg, Germany, were hospitalized with a severe and strange disease. The physicians on staff realized the workers were all suffering from the same ailment, with symptoms that included fever, diarrhea, vomiting, massive bleeding from many different organs, shock, and eventually circulatory system collapse. An investigation began in an attempt to uncover the source of the outbreak. This led to the identification of the source of the virus in Germany: a species of African green monkeys, imported from Uganda, which were being used by the scientists for polio vaccine research. The virus was isolated, and found to exhibit a unique morphology, leading to the designation of a new group: the Filoviridae In that outbreak, a total of 31 human cases were observed, and the disease presented with a 23% mortality rate (7 deaths occurred out of 31 total infections).”
