Putting a condom in his suitcase won’t stop him from cheating- Stella Damasus preaches

Did you know that Stella Damasus hosts a show every Monday on i2radio in Atlanta, US?
If you don’t, well now you know.
The Nollywood star actress hosts the show ‘Undiluted with Stella Damasus’ and last Monday, the show’s topic was “A woman put a pack of condoms in her cheating husband’s suitcase. What do you think? Would you?”
And as always, Stella had a pretty interesting view on the subject-topic.
She said: “If a man cheats once and you catch him, your reaction to his cheating would determine what happens the next time. If I have tried everything and he continues, then I’m sorry, I wouldn’t stay there. I would never be the one to put condoms in his suitcase.”
“I’m sorry darling, your putting a condom in a suitcase will not change him. Instead of putting condoms, write a note telling him how much you love him and ask him to protect you and your home,” Stella added.
Do you agree?

putting the phone beside your bed or any where near you is not encouraged. Though some of us will use phone as alarm but put the phone as far as possible.Scientist have proved that electrical items including mobile phones and television sets emiting magnetic waves when used. Therefore ifyouneed to put your mobile phone with you switch off first.

10 Things You Should Do Before Your Final Year In School

By this time in the next two years or so, you would have been rounding off your undergraduate programme. If you want to be sure you had prepared for life after campus, you’ve got to start these right from now! This is actually based on the notion that you’ve already taken a decision on what you want to be in future. As you get ready for that priced time regarded as ‘final year’, here are the top ten things you should consider doing ahead of then.

Participate in Career Advancement Events:  They are many around. From conferences to seminars, workshops to symposia and from competitions to contests, from grants to scholarships, the list is endless. It only takes discerning minds to identify one. In line with your future aspiration most especially, it is important you attend such career advancement events. Use career advancement websites or google, ask a professional in the field to keep a tab on upcoming career advancement events ahead.

Earn the trust of others: Are you the cunning type? Do you possess some character that could portray you as a dishonest person? It’s high time you started getting rid of such characters. People around you are watching you. News of your good character or otherwise would spread to a place you never imagined in the nearest future. You’d better turn a new leaf today before it’s too late!

Volunteer: Volunteering involves you providing services to people based on your skills or expertise at little or no cost at all. The world is in need of helpful people and such people should be sure that their effort is not in vain. It is important to note that volunteering could even increase your chances of getting a job. In an age when work experience is one of the pre-requisite to get a job, your volunteering experience would be helpful. For example, consider using your leadership and organisational skills, editing, writing, publicity, ICT, social media, medical and child caring skills. Give to the society voluntarily and you would succeed!

Mop up your social media: Watch what you post on the social media. Your first job might be lost as a result of one status update in the same way another could get you a job right before you graduate. Remove that gangster picture of yours. Be equally careful of those who tag you in their status updates, especially if such wouldn’t present you in a good light. If it requires you ‘unfriending’ or ‘blocking’ such people, please do! Be as modest as possible in your posts. There is no crime talking about religion, politics, ethnicity, gender or other topics of diverse views. But if you must, you should thread the path with high level of intellectuality based on facts and avoid maligning other people indiscriminately.

Study Smartly: Studentship isn’t all about working hard to get the highest of grades but studying smartly. Smart studying emphasises you understanding the course content beyond examination situations. More often than not, most students read just to pass exams. Yours should be an exception! Irrespective of what the course is, it important you can apply its contents beyond examination situations. You don’t want to open your over five hundred page engineering textbook when asked to determine solution to a mechanical fault!

Learn some skills: A skill-based personality is the ideal professionally-prepared personality. Go beyond the lectures to learn new skills applicable in the industry generally. It is possible that that step could place you above your peers in future. Skills learnt should be however relevant to contemporary times. Your skills are your selling points!

Engage in fruitful journeys: Before you decide on embarking on any sojourn as a student, weigh the benefits. Ask yourself what you stand to lose by not participating as much as you consider what you stand to gain. You don’t want to found in the midst of street urchins nor would you want to be caught in the web of some controversy betraying your sparkling good character.

Get yourself a mentor: Career mapping comes to play here. Your career should be plan-based. You would need a trustworthy professional in the field to be your mentor. He is more likely aware of current trends relating to achieving career success. He can easily help you in material and technical support where necessary. Your mentor should be your adviser in making professionally-inclined decisions. There is no need for an aspiring lawyer having a physician as his mentor. Choose your mentor wisely!

Start practicing before graduating: Do you want to be a teacher? Start acting as one directly or indirectly. Clinch with a professional in your field of choice and request being his assistant/intern Don’t expect to be paid since you are not yet a graduate. They could consider paying you if they have the resources to cater for that. You know what? Practice makes perfect!

Be prayerful: God is the one who makes our plans materialise. Whatever we have in stock can only be successful combining dedication with prayer. There are stories of dedicated people who yet failed. That’s as a result of lack of God’s blessings in their acts. Think God first!

People generally see tertiary institution life as being full of freedom. Yes, it is! Everybody is free to do whatever they wish. Why not do something personally worthy of reverence and reference against the future? Choose to do something beneficial for yourself. Your future starts now!

4 Ways To Get Rich Online

I found this awesome piece on Forbes and decided to share with y'all. Be inspired, guys.
To cash in online you need to be a game-changer. 
When Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook, there was nothing like it. He is now worth $17.5 billion according to recent Forbes valuations. Drew Houston saw money to be made in online storage, and co-founded Dropbox, the web-based tool that hit $240 million in revenue in 2011. Eric Lefkofsky spotted the potential in Groupon and gave $1 million to CEO and founder Andrew Mason. Last year, Lefkofsky made the Forbes Billionaires list with a net worth of $2.9 billion. 
There are still fortunes to be made online, and we have found four ways to do so.
 
  • Make A Viral Video
Karmin, real-life couple Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, made it big when their cover of Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" went viral. The video, which has gained over 68 million views since its upload in April 2011, propelled the duo to a million dollar deal with label heavyweight Epic Records just a month later. "Brokenhearted," the lead single from their debut album, has now gone platinum. 
Music videos are not the only clips that make money. If you are lucky enough, you could shoot a video of your child, pet, or a double rainbow that strikes a chord and goes viral. YouTube could then get in touch asking you to become a partner, meaning the site will run ads along with your clip and share over 50% of the revenue with you. The father of "David After Dentist" has made more than $100,000 from YouTube ads alone. From there, diversify into TV appearances, merchandise and even iPhone apps, as the creator of "Charlie Bit My Finger" has done. 
 
  • Sell Your Stuff
We’ve all heard of Craigslist and eBay – online marketplaces designed for the average person to log on and cash in – but did you know you could use them to become a millionaire? 
Sophia Amoruso, the founder of online clothing store Nasty Gal, started her business by selling vintage finds on eBay. After building a fanbase she outgrew the platform and created her own website. Nasty Gal is now worth $130 million, and is set to do $128 million in sales this year. These days, there are many more online retail options on which to make it big. Up-and-coming competitors include Threadflip, a place for users to turnaround their used women’s apparel, and ModCloth, which curates vintage threads. Others, such as Etsy, a craft-focused site, offer a more targeted community e-retailer, while Zaarly flips the model, so buyers post what they want to buy and sellers get in touch to pitch why they should sell it. 
 
  • Monetize Your Creativity
We all create media content - recent estimates suggest 375 billion photographs are taken daily, while 72 hours of YouTube videos are uploaded every minute. Did you know you could make money from those images? 
Paya is a new site by Denver-based company T3Media that allows users to upload and sell images and videos from across 250 platforms, including Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo. It's the eBay of digital media, and a haven for photographers of all talents, allowing you to keep 80% of every sale. If you catch something particularly newsworthy or timely, there might be big bucks in it from news sources and advertisers. Gumroad is a similar site that allows users to sell anything they create, be it a song, computer program or book. Users pick the price, and Gumroad retains only a 5% cut of every sale. Both platforms are new - how much do you think you can make through them?
 
  • Start A Blog
A handful of bloggers translate their content into million-dollar deals. First, you’ll need to set up a site which will become your platform to write on music, fashion, finance or whatever your interest may be. Build a following and readership, and you could catch the attention of companies looking to acquire your site. 
In 2008, Johns Wu, the founder of Bankaholic.com, sold the site to Bankrate, Inc. for $14.9 million. Entrepreneurial tech site TechCrunch was acquired by AOL in 2010 for $30 million, making its founder, Michael Arrington, a wealthy man. 
Fashion bloggers can also get rich. Just look at Leandra Medine, the woman behind the Man Repeller blog, whose site grew so popular it spawned two jewelry lines with Dannijo and a collaboration with Del Toro on $325 shoes. 
Other ways to monetize your writing include selling affiliate marketing through programs such as Amazon Affiliates. Bloggers place an affiliate link for the product on their site, and whenever a visitor buys a product by clicking on that link, they will be credited with a sale and make a commission. Bloggers can also sell advertising space, earning higher rates for more visitors.

Man caught eating dead woman's face in hotel room in the UK


A 34 year-old man, Matthew Williams nicknamed Fifi, was allegedly found eating a woman’s eyeball and face in a hotel room.

The horrified security staff at The Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Argoed, South Wales, burst into the room after the murder suspect refused to let them in.

The hotel staff called police who hit Matthew Williams with a high voltage taser which knocked him to the floor. He was formally arrested but died moments later due to high voltage.


His victim, a 22-year-old woman who he'd just met, was also confirmed dead from her injuries.
Williams had just been released from jail two weeks earlier, where he'd served half of a five-year prison sentence for a violent attack on his partner.
According to Jill Edwards, who lives near the hotel, he said: ‘This animal was eating this girl to death. Security said they told him no girls in his room and he didn’t answer, when they opened his door he was eating her face.’
A Gwent Police spokeswoman said: ‘We were called at 1.23am after a reported that a man was attacking a woman in the Sirhowy Arms Hotel. On arrival both the male and female were still at the location. A taser was discharged and a man was arrested. The woman was located with injuries and has since been pronounced deceased. While under arrest, the man became unresponsive. Officers and paramedics administered first aid but he has since been pronounced deceased. A murder investigation is underway into the death of the woman.’

To Desperate Nigerians:*Must Read* 5 Good Reasons Why You Should Not Run to Live in Jand


written by Ruona Agbroko-Meyer.
Just like the Naija saying “Ashewo no be work,” so it is with this Osanle hustle. Na bad market…as bad as buying a gold-plated, customised iPhone 6 for your blind, illiterate mother who lives in the village. Yes, the time when it paid to be an Osanle and run to Jand to live here illegally is over o. Don’t be like Diana King and let anybody tell you lie-lie-lies. This place is tough so…allow me tell you why right now, Osanle no be work wey you wan send yourself for Jand. 
There’s no longer a “taxi service” waiting for you
Usually, you've survived death by dehydration, getting shot or recruited by guerrillas, raped and prostituted, and you miraculously make it to the high seas, where you cross over to Europe. Well now, there’s a chance there won’t be any security officers battling to save your life if your rickety, overcrowded raft capsizes into the sea off the Italian or Spanish coast. 
You see, Britain announced days ago that it will no longer support any search and rescue operations to stop Osanles like you drowning in the Mediterranean sea, so you will be On Your Own if you think there will be officers waiting to give you blankets and tea as you shiver in from the swimming session you decided to embark on. 
Gone are the days when people will pack themselves on a small boat like Titus sardine and call the Italian authorities to come and pick them up. Because, along with other EU countries, what will happen from November 1 is that there will only be patrols within 30 miles of the Italian coast. 
Meaning? Nobody will be moving all over the sea, looking for you. It is better you give yourself brain and migrate legally or, make sure your juju guy strong; otherwise, the drowning wey dey wait you is doing press-up. You go chop water well-well. 
2. Britain has your fence waiting. Try jump am na:
So you made it through the sea safely, we thank God. Now, you don’t fancy Spain and Italy because you don’t want to have to learn a whole new language, or prostitute/do drugs before you are able to earn enough dollars to spray in all these Naija diaspora meetings, right? So you find a way, decide to pass through Calais, and enter Jand from underneath a lorry for £800*, by scaling the border fence; basically by fire by force plus hook or crook. I’m here to tell you there’s a small problem. 
The thing is, in early September, there was a NATO Summit in the UK and of course, fences were needed to provide security for the dignitaries. After the event, the UK wondered what to do with these fences and since we are a sustainable, kill-two-birds-with-one-stone nation, it was decided that the fences would be sent to Calais, where they will be used to keep Osanles like you out. Yes, this is what Immigration Minister James Brokenshire said: 
“We will offer our French partners the fences…These could replace and enlarge the inadequate fencing at Calais, which is too easy for illegal immigrants to scale.”
 Osanle, you have been warned. Proceed with caution because fly wey no dey hear word na im dem dey drink follow beer. 
3. School visa don get K-leg:
Osanle get level. Not all osanles come to Jand by desert trek or by hanging on to the chassis of a lorry. Some of you come by plane, via a student visa, after paying a percentage of tuition and hope to work to get by, until you can blend in by happening to fall in love with a British citizen, warts and all, passport and all. 
For anyone hoping to use the student visa route, just know that from November, harsher rules will “be imposed on universities and colleges who sponsor international students to study in the UK.” Right now, these institutions cannot get the much-coveted “highly trusted sponsor status if 20% or more of the individuals they have offered places to are refused visas. But that figure will be cut to 10% in November after a 3 month transitional period.” 
What it means is that, in the coming months/years, it is likely that a lesser number of schools will be able to sponsor you, and when you are here your student visa requirements will mean you kuku can’t do any meaningful work to enable you buy enough clothes to snag a Britico, much less pay your remaining fees. Reason am well o, because degree without pali is like Nkwobi without kaun. 
4. The citizenship can be removed o
Once an Osanle, always an Osanle…so some of the new laws under the Immigration Act 2014 mean that after passing through desert, sea, marriage hustle and naturalising to get a burgundy British passport, the Home Secretary is allowed to remove your British citizenship if your “actions have been seriously prejudicial to the interests of the United Kingdom…” 
In short – all this is long grammar to show you that UK citizenship is like vi*ginity; it belongs to you, but can be taken by someone else.
5. You can’t show yourself
All that foolery where you Osanles rush to buy cars and rent flats and cruise around, oppressing the Nigerians that have the actual British passport won’t work now o. Banks will be prohibited from opening current accounts for illegal immigrants. Rather, your name will be waiting in a database if you are noted already as an offender sef. 
Unless you plan to live all your life in the UK sub-letting a room with no heating from your fellow Nigerian landlord, then don’t bother running here. Now there are fines for landlords who rent homes and rooms to Osanles, and all your papers will need to check out before you can get a place to stay, access medical treatment and get a drivers’ licence. In fact, in under a month since the Immigration Act was introduced, over 3,500 driving licences have been revoked. If you even use the asylum hustle it won’t be the long, drawn-out process that allows you time to impregnate a British citizen or get pregnant by a British citizen; from 17 chances to appeal your status for any reason, the UK now allows only 4 chances. 
And these people are not playing with Osanles o; they have said that all these levels have the sole aim to “make the UK the least attractive destination for illegal immigrants.”
The thing is….will all this stop you? 
No??!! 
Didn’t think so…asking an Osanle to stop their runs would be the same thing as putting a leopard in a washing machine to launder its spots, or…finally finding the crowbar I use to pry my tongue from my cheek. 
* £800 is the “budget” option, for osanles, where you are stowed inside a lorry going to the UK. Pay £4,000 for the “luxury” package and you can enter Jand by hiding inside a car boot…
