SMH: Delta State Governor Chilling With Ja Rule And Ashanti Amid Poor State Development

It's a shame that the Governor of a state can so lavishly expend the resources of a state for his own personal gain whilst his people wallow in abject poverty. There's no good road in the whole of Delta State; yet my Honourable Governor thought it wise to rather bring  American crooner Ja Rule and Ashanti over to entertain us. My heart bleeds for my State... 

Happy 54th Independence Nigeria and Welcome "October"...

I'm usually very happy when it''s time to celebrate my country's independence but for some reasons, I'm just not enthused about it. I believe in my country and I do know it would get better some day; probably when the money-hungry politicians are dead. Well, it's a new month and I pray for it to be fruitful to both you and your loved ones. Remember, love is all you need... 

Bela's Corner: Handling Insecurities in Your Relationship

Via Single Black Male

When you find the one you feel like you’ve been waiting for all your life, it’s not surprising that you’d want to hold on tight. Your relationship is something that should be cherished, and you’re likely wary of anything that could harm it or take it away from you. But sometimes, the person in the relationship can be so concerned with keeping the relationship, that they actually begin harming it.

It can also be difficult to stay positive about finding love amid reports about how often people commit infidelity. Just recently, AdamEve.com shared survey results indicating that one in every three people admit to cheating in relationships. So, again, how does one stay positive here? But then there’s also this question: At what point do normal insecurities become too much?Continue

Ciara Attacked in Paris...

According to TMZ, the guy who attacked Kim Kardashian in Paris last week has struck again -- this time Ciara was his victim -- and Paris cops still think it's a stupid, nothing offense and they aren't taking action.

Vitalii Sediuk was standing outside the Valentino fashion show wearing a trench coat, and as Ciara passed him he lost the coat and hugged her hard, wearing a thong.

Sediuk had something written on his leg referencing a USA ban ... he's been barred from red carpets in the States following his attack on Brad Pitt.

We reached out to Paris cops to see if they'd now take action against Sediuk, but they said they have no plans ... they say it's not important enough to warrant their attention.

You Need More People: Pst Ayo Oritsejafor Feigns Ignorance of $9.3 Arms Deal

I really don't know how you expect us to believe this though...The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, yesterday for the first time spoke on the controversial $9.3m cash allegedly smuggled into South Africa by two Nigerians and an Israeli using his private jet. The money which has been confiscated by a South African court was meant for the purchase of arms for the Nigerian Intelligence Services.

Bela's Corner: Overcoming Relationship Mistakes

Relationships are a tricky thing, and getting into them can be scary if you don't have any guidance. Lucky for you, I've made plenty of relationship mistakes in my life that we both can learn from;

1. Don't be embarrassed if you like someone and they don't like you back.

When you hit middle school or high school, and you start to have crushes on people, don't worry about trying to hide your feelings or wonder if you're cool enough to like the person you like. If you like someone, it's OK to show it. Having warm feelings for someone is a gift, one that is meant to be offered to the person you have the feelings for. If it turns out that they don't feel the same way, that's OK. Hopefully they'll express that kindly, but even if they're jerks about it, don't take it personally. There's nothing wrong with sharing a little bit of your heart's love with somebody. If they don't like you back, someone will. Don't take that kind of rejection as a sign that there's something wrong with you or that you're not good enough. Just view it as a simple compatability issue and move on with grace.

2. Don't lose your virginity too soon (or for the wrong reasons).

Having sex with the right partner at the right time for the right reasons is a wonderfully positive, fun experience. However, there isn't a human being alive who hasn't had at least one negative sexual experience, and that's because sex is a very intimate act people engage in while highly vulnerable. It's a delicate thing. So before you decide you want to go all the way with someone, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons, and that you feel truly ready. You might be ready to have sex if you feel safe, secure and loved in a relationship, if you're physically and emotionally mature enough to

Dear Belarich: I Found Out The Guy I'm Dating Is Engaged To Another But I Still Want Him...

Dear Belarich,

For as long as I’ve been dating, I’ve always seemed to attract men in relationships. Some say it’s the wall I have built up that initially lets guys know that I don’t want anything more than the physical. I have had a pretty rough past with men and I am holding my emotions and everything else back from keeping me from dating and letting loose. Men always assume that I am the girl that doesn’t want commitment and I want nothing but sex. Not true.
I’ve been off & on with a man that’s in the industry. And, of course it just so happens that he is engaged to his long-time girlfriend of many years. They live together, and I know that she is “wifey” and I have been on the side. I never ask for money, never ask for him to take me out, hell, I don’t want nothing from him. Nothing, but his love and time. Which is given to me 45% of the time.
