GIRLS: HIDDEN CAMERAS AND SEX GAMES.

In recent times I have come across many scandals in some tabloids about sexual escapades that involved some notable celebrities in the past but these days, one doesn’t need to pay any junk reporter to publish such blackmails any more .You can just simply use a camera phone and the next minutes the whole world is seeing everything on the social media without being mindful of the serious damage this must have caused the victim.

It happened to one popular actress and if not that she was involved with a white man who went ahead and married her, she would have been in total mess. The question for the ladies is why will you give out your nude pictures to your boy friends? Why would you allow your mere boy friend to be taking your nude pictures from all angles without you taking his own nude pictures? Why would you allow a man to record you’re sucking him and you didn’t record him when he is heading you? A man will always   have a second chance in most relationships but ladies find it very difficult to have a second chance.

Please ladies, “let’s go out” with a boy friend is different from “let go in “as husband and wife. I have seen recently what looks like Chidinma  the new singing sensation on a sex tape, I felt bad, what if this is true, who is that Nigerian man that will close his eyes and take her as a wife. I am from the Ibo nation and our wives are regarded as our pride may be the same thing applies in other tribes. Irrespective of that, why would  a sane girl  get so exposed over a temporary relationship like this ,even if the man is your husband won’t you have some level of reservations in case anything happens to that relationship?

Most times ladies like those who tell them lies instead of facing reality and for the very fact that they usually have a mind set of what they want from a relationship which might be deceitful without being mindful that over 85 percent of men are hunters.

Are you aware that the casual relationships you have been enjoying might one day play back on you? Just recently a lady’s sex video was sent to the fiancé few days to her wedding and that is supposed to be the real man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. One can assume that there might be a hidden camera, only God knows why some men are so mean and heartless with such nasty revelations.

Ladies! Are you I blame in most cases? We know that the economic hardship prompt taking some decisions, to gain some favors, but you must be careful that you should not expose yourself to what will hunt you all your life. “Love is not enough for all I know”. No one is looking for a virgin as a wife or husband because you will search endlessly, have fun as much as you can but don’t leave your traces worse, because you have to beware of anything going viral on the social media.

 For guys, who care, for girls, we care.

 “Top 10 Nelson Mandela Quotes of All-Time.”

1. Nothing in this world is impossible and Mandela makes sure to remind us of that.

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

2. A lot of people find it easy to be pessimistic and think of the negatives that can arise out of a situation. But in this quote, Mandela shows us that thinking positive is the only way to go. The more positive you think, the more positive the outcome will probably be.

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”

3. Living isn’t just about doing for yourself, but what you do for others as well.

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

4. An ode to the fact that racism is not passed on genetically, but passed on through teachings.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

5.  Life is a course with endless obstacles to hurdle.

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.”

6. We are too quick to give up and refuse to get up from our failures. If we don’t fight to get up, we are giving up on something bigger — life.

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

7. Sometimes you can leave a place and find that the only thing that has changed after all the years is yourself.

“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”

8. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

“If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”

9. Be brave!

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

10. From the poorest of countries to the richest of nations, education is the key to moving forward in any society.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

ADELE BROKE A NEW RECORD

Adele's album 21 has broken a new record by becoming the first album to be downloaded three million times.

The Rolling In The Deep singer released her second album 21 in 2011 but it is still selling so well that it has become the first to reach the milestone, according to the Daily Mirror.

But the figure doesn't take into consideration physical copies bought, which takes the album's total sales up to 10,798,000.

A further 40,000 sales were made from its vinyl release and Nielsen SoundScan has placed it at number 13 on the list of best-selling albums since 1991.

Oscar-winner Adele is said to be working on her third album at the moment. Her first, titled 19, was released in 2008.
