Nobody Should Vote In The Coming Elections------------ Etcetera

Some people have accused me of not liking politicians, so let me set the record straight. I don’t! They have done more harm to our nation than the military (their first cousins). At no period in our nationhood has the opportunity for reversing the dehumanising nature of a politically corrupt society like ours been greater. Every Nigerian who seeks freedom should rethink all temptations to rush to the polling station on February 14 in an attempt to further entrench corruption with a transfusion of his or her energies. Let us instead participate in a peaceful revolution to rescue this country from disintegration and death. It is better for any society that has been shredded by corruption to undergo a few headaches, fevers, and stomach upsets in the interim. It is better to rid Nigeria of her sickness once and for all than continue our habit of suppressing the symptoms which is exactly what we’ll be doing voting for the same crop of corrupt politicians in the forthcoming elections.

I have different sex toys because I don't want to be sleeping around' - actress, April

Tinsel actress Joju Muse, fondly called April, opened up in an interview with icampusng.com about her sex life. She said to avoid having multiple partners, she got different sex toys - G-Spot stimulator, the regular vibrator, the Dildo, and one called the ‘Rabbit.’ Lol. Excerpts from her interview below.

What do you do when you want to have s*x?
(Laughs) It all boils down to what I have said. S*x is sacred and it’s not something you just do or something you just open your legs to do. It’s not that easy for me. I would rather do s*x toys. S*x has a lot involved. It has emotions, attachments, spirituality. S*x is supposed to be sacred. It’s supposed to be a ritual for me. It is a thing two people indulge in because anybody you sleep with, there is a connection. You are connecting with them. Then, how many people are you going to sleep with? How many people do you want to now have s*x with? It means if you are going to be delivered, you’d have a lot of bondages to break. That is even more stressful.

Those days were very rough, but we thank God that we have been able to sail through. I used to sleep outside, hustle and fall asleep in buses. I also used to go to owanbe parties not to dance, because I didn’t have party clothes to wear, but I used to go because they had food. So at least at the end of the party, I could help out, get a little change, then go find shelter somewhere and continue my hustle the next day.

“My lifestyle doesn’t revolve around any man, if you can’t satisfy me in bed, I will let you know you cannot satisfy me .We will find a way out. Is it not about making love? I will tell you this is the way I want you to do it. Give it to me this way. I am an adult, I see no reason why I should shy away from that if I really think he is okay enough for me,” she said.

I’m Not Sure If I Will Ever Re-Marry- Teddy Don Mommoh

Teddy Don Mommoh is still very hurt about his wife’s death and only God can heal him. Teddy says he is still not sure if he will re-marry in life because Kefee is still very much around him and lives in him. According to him, he still feels her presence and it hurts so much to know she is no longer here. It just hurts, he says.

“I can’t say if I will remarry because right now, I am still very much tied to Kefee; so I cannot speak on that now. I learnt from Kefee’s death that whatever you want to do in life should be done quickly. It is just one life and it is a short one. You do not own the next minute but this minute; so do all you can while you still breathe. Kefee lives on in me and in everybody.”

Inside the Norwegian Prison, Where Inmates Live Like Kings

- It is called the Halden Prison

- Prison guards must not maltreat them. In fact they frequently eat meals and play sports with prisoners
- Their health is intact. Doctors, dentists, gynecologists etc are always around
- They learn to play musical instruments and record their own songs. They compete on Norway's version of American Idol.

I am now free to have sex - Vast of Bracket says

After being treated of Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, Nwanchukwu Ozioko known as Vast from the popular singing group, Bracket, says he is free to start having sex again. He said doctors warned him to abstain from sex during the treatment process but have since given him the go-ahead to enjoy..

"I have gone for sperm check. I am okay. The essence of not having sex was to ensure that I don't give birth to an abnormal baby. Because if I impregnate a lady in that condition, she might give birth to such a baby and of course I don't want that to happen. That was why I was instructed to stay away from sex for five months. I am ready to resume. Interestingly, They know I'm a man capable of getting married when it's time. Before they started the treatment, they took sperm from me for safe keeping in case the treatment damages my sperm. I will still be able to have children but nothing bad happened. It didn't affect anything. I am free to have sex and impregnate my lady when the time comes. Apart from being alive, that is also a good news" he told Encomium mag

Dear Patsmartblogs readers: I need your help with my girlfriend...

From a male Patsmartblogs reader

I've been in a relationship with my girl friend for about 4months now & apart from the normal boy friend/girl friend squabbles, it's been all good. I occasionally pick her from work though she drives as well. I've been into her office on two occasions though. She closes at 5pm but often comes back at about 7pm & says she's working late. So, when she called me after 5pm & said she was still in the office, I decided to drive by her office at about 8pm on my way from work so we could stop by a sit out before getting home.

Don’t Be Deceived, We Are Not Homosexuals- Bracket

The duo of bracket has addressed the allegations they are gay for the first time. In an exclusive chat with SaturdayBeats, the duo admitted they are aware of the rumour, but decided to keep mute about it, because it is nothing but a lie. They however decided to address it saying;

“We did not want to talk about it in public before but I guess we have to. We saw the story and it was a very laughable one. We did not believe it was that serious until one of our uncles called from Enugu. He was even laughing when he asked us. At the end of the day, there are certain things you do not say in public but people should wait till they see us get married. We would not begin to say that we have girlfriends in certain places or who they are. But to clear the air, we are not homosexuals. People that know us know that we are not gays.” Continue below...
