Nigeria and as such everything possible should be done in the present to

students, Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

How to maximize your mental capabilities
Sharp mindedness means the quickness of a person to interpret,
understand, analyse, or pick up an idea adequately. It is a quality
that enables you to find a solution to a problem very quickly or answer a
question very quickly or learn very quickly. A person with sharp brain
is a keen and quick observer. He has also a go creativity power. He has
good memory to remember things for long time. Sharp mindedness is
necessary in every sphere of life.
As a student, you need to learn things quickly and properly to avoid wastage of time. Similarly in exam you need to reproduce ideas (what you have learnt while your preparation) in paper very quickly to complete the paper in time. A sharp minded student takes comparatively less time to learn a chapter than a blunt minded student.
Some people have this quality as in-born quality while others have to develop this quality by practice.
There many ways to sharpen your brain, some of which I will share with you right now as follows;
Brain Exercise: Use your brain more and more
Like other parts, the brain also becomes more powerful by exercising brain. Exercising brain means using it more and more. Generally brain is involved in every work we do but there are some works in which we have to brain, thinking power, mental analysing power and all our mental capabilities, such works can contribute in exercising our brains.
For instance, a product maker is in a situation when he thinks how to minimise the cost of making a product as well as maximise the quality of product. He will have to think more and more, use his brain to find the solution which indirectly exercise his brain as well. Similarly we can produce such situations or involve ourselves in such situations to exercise our brain. In the beginning, we will face difficulties in such brain exercise but with passage of time it will become very easy as we develop brain’s sharpness by exercising our brain.
Mental capability or thinking power can be enhanced by using brain in the same way. Brain exercises sharpen our brain. Try mental exercise daily. It sharpens your mind. It strengthens neural connections in your brain. Now think what are a brain exercises or such situations which exercise our situation? It can be a simple task like “Essay writing on a topic”, in which we have use our brain to collect ideas about the topic and use brain to present ideas in a proper way for the reader. We take a paper and write all the idea that we know about the topic. We may know 10 to 15 topics very easily then we start thinking (brain exercise) to find more and ideas about the topic. If we write such essays daily, it can exercise our brain to sharpen it.
There are different activities which involve brain work and flourish the power of your brain.
A. Playing games like chess, scrabble, and many others
B. Solving numerical problems, or puzzles and quizzes
C. Trying out tricky situations usually given in magazines and newspaper.
D. Making some difficult charts and tables, daily
E. Studying difficult topics and trying to learn it and gain command on it.
F. Writing essays on different topics, daily.
The above activities are brain exercises. If you do such activities daily, it slowly and gradually increases your mental capability. Brain sharpening is not possible in one day. It needs daily brain exercise and within few days you feel the change. Trust me, it works!

Learn 6 ways to improving your reading habit
One of the things I hear regularly from people I advise is that they do not have the time to read.
This is usually a valid point particularly in the Nigerian environment. What with bills to pay, crazy work schedules, the gnarling traffic to and from work, kids to take care of and the one million things we need to do everyday. Yet with enough time to practically WASTE pressing your blackberry (or other) mobile phones.
However, it is a scientific fact that reading stimulates certain parts of the brain and affects your cognitive function. The act of reading a book whether for knowledge, leisure or entertainment is like exercise for the brain. It flexes the brain muscles and leads to a more enlightened, sharper and all round better person.
Essentially, when you don’t read, you’re admitting that you are not the best person you can be; a faded copy.
To bring you back to your colourful best, here are 6 tips on how to improve reading habits.
#1: Make time: Despite all the valid reasons you have for not reading, you have no reason to accept to ‘grow old before your time’. This is a popular saying and it means life taking it’s toll on you without you fighting back.
#2: Create A Book List: It is inevitable that you will hear about certain books that you would like read. Unfortunately, these books may not be readily available when you want them or you may not have enough funds to purchase them and since the mind is prone to instant gratification, it is likely that you will forget about such books. I suggest that you create a list of books you would like to read on a monthly basis. Keep adding to your list and cross out the ones you’ve bought or read.
#3: Find a quiet place & dream: We all need to find a quiet place to go to each day where we can meditate and renew our minds. Dream about the places you would like to go to, read about those places. Dream, dream, dream! Everything in life is created twice; first in your mind and then in the physical reality. Read books that feed your dreams.
#4: Read a variety of books: Don’t just pick up one genre of books; mix and match. Read fiction & non-fiction and vary them. Expand your view! You never know what you’ll get from a book. For instance, you may be a business person and in a book of science fiction, the author may be writing a fictional but important tip about the future of your line of business that will be of immense benefit to you.
#5: Visit a bookshop regularly: There are many good bookshops around. A bookshop is a place of discovery and a place where you can meet interesting people or those who share your peculiar taste!
#6: Expand your options: I personally read several books in several platforms. I hardly ever restrict myself anymore with only hard cover books. Get ready to lay hand on online books using your mobile phones and pads. Your blackberry is not just meant to PING, but to study. Apply it to use.

What Asuu Has Caused To Students: Two EBSU Female Students Stripped For Robbery In Calabar
TWO female undergraduate robbery suspects
and their male partner in crime were battered
and stripped naked in Calabar, Friday afternoon,
for attempting to rob a businesswoman of N1.5
million. The three suspects operating in a Golf car were
accosted by a taxi driver at about 4pm along the
Murtala Muhammed Highway by the Cross River
State new secretariat, while their driver and one
other suspect escaped. The gang reportedly ambushed the
businesswoman who had gone to withdraw the
N1.5 million at a bank along Calabar Road, near
the Watt market, where they approached her to
join their cab and the woman who appeared
eager to arrive home because of the money she had withdrawn immediately accepted and
boarded the taxi. Trouble started as she got to her destination and
discovered that the taxi driver became unwilling
to allow her alight from the vehicle. The robbery
suspects were said to have brought out guns and
asked her to cooperate with them if she did not
want to get hurt. The victim told Vanguard, “The suspects told me
to cooperate with them and quietly hand over
the N1.5 million or I would be killed.” She said she
suddenly became “angry in the spirit because this
money is contribution money and my members
who want to share the money on Sunday so they could get their Christmas things early would not
believe me. So I was ready to die and began to
raise alarm in the vehicle and calling for help”. She said her shouts attracted the attention of a
taxi driver who decided to give the Golf car a hot
chase until he overtook and blocked the vehicle
at Atekong Drive”. The driver of the five-man gang and another
suspect escaped by quickly alighting from the car
and running across the highway and then
jumping the perimeter fence of the new
secretariat. She added, “These two ladies were
apprehended by the people who came to see what was the trouble between the two taxis.
They began to beat them when they heard what
they had done to me.” The suspects who were thoroughly beaten and
stripped were later handed over to police who
came to the scene. The ladies confessed that they
were students of Ebonyi State University and
members of a syndicate which left Abakaliki in
Ebonyi State to Aba in Abia State. When contacted, the Police Public Relations officer
of the State Police Command, Mr. Hoggan Bassey
confirmed that the three suspects were in police
custody, saying they would soon be charged to
court. His words, “nemesis has caught up with them.
They are being investigated and so far they have
confessed that they used to hang around bank
premises with their car, shouting one chance, one
chance and waiting for people coming out of the
bank with money. “The Cross River State police commissioner Shola
Shodipo has promised armed robbers, kidnappers
and other criminals a raw deal this Christmas
season. Cross River State is the most peaceful
state in Nigeria and we are prepared to
compromise the crime free status of the state.”

Meet The Hottest Team In Uli: Team T.D.M.G
ASUU May End Strike On Today...Saturday
Union of Universities (ASUU) in Nigeria may end
its four-month old strike today Saturday,
November 16. About 120 chapters of the union have voted in
support of the decision to end the strike at their
various congresses held in their institutions. However, the National Executive of the body has
not ratified the decision to end the strike. A Pro-Chancellor of the University of Benin,
Senator Effiong Bob, urged ASUU to end the strike
in honour of Late Fetus Iyayi, a former president
of the union. Senator Bob, who was at the residence of the late
professor pointed out that Late Iyayi died while
trying to resolve the issue. “ASUU Should call of the strike so that both the
union members and students can come and give
him the last respect he deserves during his
funeral,” he said. Late Iyayi died on Tuesday, November 12, in an
auto crash on his way to Kano for a meeting of
the union. In a meeting with the leadership of the union,
President Goodluck Jonathan had agreed to
provide 1.1 trillion Naira (about 6.9 billion dollars)
in the next five years and the balance of 62
billion Naira (about 390 million dollars) and
allowance to each university. The union had embarked on a nationwide strike
on July 1 suspending all academic activities

Ify Lodge At Otoko Robbed
Asuu Strike: Education Ministry Directs Varsities To Commence Re-opening Processes
Barely 48 hours after President Goodluck Jonathan engaged the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, in a marathon 13-hour closed door meeting, in a bid to end the union’s four-month old strike,Voice Of Ansu gathered, yesterday, that officials of the Federal Ministry of Education have been directed to commence processes for the re-opening of federal universities.
Investigations revealed that governing councils and vice chancellors of the universities have been specifically directed, via direct communication from the National Universities Commission, NUC, to take immediate steps to ensure that their institutions are in the right position to receive students immediately the strike is called off.
Sources at the NUC said that the vice-chancellors were also directed to protect the interest of students and parents henceforth and ensure that no one takes advantage of the ugly situation.
Before the strike which commenced on July 1, almost all public universities were in their second semesters and had less than two months to conduct examinations. As the strike lingered, final year students in the universities had their hopes dashed for mobilization in the Batch C set of the compulsory National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, scheme.
According to officials of the NYSC, their counterparts in private universities have already resumed at their various camps last Tuesday. What this means is that, if eventually the strike is called-off, any time from now, public universities will have to re-adjust their 2012/2013 academic calendar to enable their final year students get mobilized for national service in the next batch, come February 2014.
Meanwhile, when contacted, Vice Chancellor one of the Federal Universities in the South-West, who craved anonymity, disclosed that his university is yet to receive any circular from the Ministry of Education on a specific date of resumption, but noted that the university is eager to resume as soon as possible.
He said: “I have not received any circular from the Ministry of Education on any specific date of resumption. When we get any, we will call back students to resume studies without delay, as we are eager to resume once the matter is resolved between ASUU and Federal Government.”
Asked what situation in the university has been like in the last four months, he said: “You can guess what has happened in the last four months. We have not functioned to 100 per cent capacity. Teaching and learning have been put on hold, but research and all other administrative functions have continued. Within the last four months, we have been sending and receiving proposals.”

Anambra remembers Achebe’s creativity in maiden literary festival
The Nigerian Book Foundation (NBF), a non-governmental, non-profit book development organisation with a commitment to indigenous book development, in conjunction with the Anambra State Government led by Governor Peter Obi, held its maiden Literary Festival at the Women Development Centre, Awka, Anambra State.
Convener of the festival and President of Nigerian Book Foundation, Professor Chukwuemeka Ike said the festival was part of activities lined up to immortalize the late literary icon, Prof. Chinua Achebe through the revival of literary creativity amongst Anambra people as NBF believes that books build the nation.
The event which was funded by Anambra State Government has as its highlight, speeches from different writers, parade of Anambra literary stars and presentation of books by different authors to Gov. Peter Obi.
Day One of the festival was essentially a strategy session, with speakers working around the theme, ‘Sustaining the Legacy of Literary Creativity’ in Anambra State. Key Note Address was by Prof. Alex Asigbo, Dean, Unizik Faculty of Arts. Papers were also presented by Prof. Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, Prof. Rems Umeasiegbu and Dr. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh
The festival also featured traditional dances and acrobatics by Metu Memorial School, Onitsha, and Paul University Primary School, Awka.Exciting debates between Queen of the Rosary College, Onitsha and St. John of God Secondary School, Awka, showed that Anambra has tremendous youth potential waiting to be harnessed.
The second debate featuring Christ the King College, Onitsha, was hot, albeit one-sided since opponents DMGS failed to turn up.“Mock News in English (Unizik Primary School) and in Igbo, by Chidera Okoli of Community Secondary School, Ndikelionwu, kept the audience clapping as tomorrow’s broadcasters shone.
Distinguished Anambra writers including Eze Ndikelionwu, Eze Prof. Chukwuemeka Ike, Ikelionwu XI, Igwe Obosi HRH Chidubem Iweka, Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, Peter Nself-servicewo, Chimalum Nself-servicewo, Odili Ojubuonu, Osita Ike, Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, Rems Umeasiegbu, Obu Udeozo, Greg Mbajiorgu etc interacted with hundreds of school children in attendance each day at the Women Development Centre venue, of the well-received festival.

The event also had in attendance notable writer, Prof. Nwosu, Nollywood actor, Wasky Oguegbu, Rev. Father Joe Barth Abba among others.
Earlier in his opening remarks, the Chairman of the occasion, Prof. Ben Nwabueze, Nigeria’s first academic Senior Advocate of Nigeria said the festival had the capacity to revive the dwindling culture of reading among the people.
Governor Peter Obi in his speech extolled the creative qualities of Anambra people both at home and in the diaspora and urged for sustenance. He described Igwe Iweka as a rare personality who combines the leadership of his people with creativity and called on today’s writers to impact such creative excellence on the Anambra child, saying that the society we abuse today shall take revenge on us tomorrow.
He regretted that the society was suffering from misplaced values; hence, those who ordinarily should be regarded as dregs of society are seen as role models. He explained that this was part of the reason he made value re-orientation an integral part of his administration.
Obi said that for Anambra State to regain its greatness, conscious effort must be made to rediscover those that had made epochal contributions to the advancement of civilization in all sectors.
Obi recalled how he looked for people like Prof. Chike Obi and how the Government continued to assist them till they died.
Prof. Ike expressed hope that the person to succeed Gov. Peter Obi would continue offering support to literary creativity and ennobling activities as Obi was doing.
Convener of the festival and President of Nigerian Book Foundation, Professor Chukwuemeka Ike said the festival was part of activities lined up to immortalize the late literary icon, Prof. Chinua Achebe through the revival of literary creativity amongst Anambra people as NBF believes that books build the nation.
The event which was funded by Anambra State Government has as its highlight, speeches from different writers, parade of Anambra literary stars and presentation of books by different authors to Gov. Peter Obi.
Day One of the festival was essentially a strategy session, with speakers working around the theme, ‘Sustaining the Legacy of Literary Creativity’ in Anambra State. Key Note Address was by Prof. Alex Asigbo, Dean, Unizik Faculty of Arts. Papers were also presented by Prof. Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, Prof. Rems Umeasiegbu and Dr. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh

Nigeria wins U-17 World Cup! Go Nigeria!!!
The strike of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has entered its fourth month, and lecturers of the government-owned universities will on Monday hold a referendum to make some decisions.
Local 
chapters of the Union in each campus have
invited members for the crucial meeting during
which they will be briefed on the outcome of the
13-hour long meeting ASUU Executives had with
the President Goodluck Jonathan and other
officials of the Federal Government. The briefing will be followed by
voting in favour
or against the continuation of the strike. Though some members of the
union are still
sceptical about the promise of the government,
there are indications that the referendum will
favour ending the strike. According to a union member, referendum is
always conducted before a strike is embarked
upon or called off. The ASUU embarked on a strike to demand the
implementation of the 2009 agreement with
government on July 1.

Nigerian Varsities To Open Next Week, With Or Without ASUU?
An official of the Vice President’s office who pleaded anonymity told Scan News that all hands are now on deck to ensure that the Universities resume next week.
The President will at next Monday’s meeting present to the ASUU leadership the administration’s last concession for them to call off the prolonged strike.
A source at the Presidential Villa noted that if ASUU fails to call off, the Federal Government will then resort to plan B, which will be to compulsorily open the Universities, using the instrumentality of the governing councils and the school managements.
Already, most of the governing councils of the Universities have started meeting to work out modalities for the compulsory re-opening of the Universities should ASUU fail to honour the personal request of President Jonathan.
It was gathered that security report available to the Presidency may have necessitated this line of action to salvage the Universities system from the direction it is facing at present. So all students that are far are advised to come back and hang around

Anambra Guber;INEC should disqualify APGA candidate,Obiano over multiple Voters registration
Investigations have revealed that Willie Obiano, the APGA Candidate for November 16th governorship election had registered for election in Lagos state prior to his present governorship aspiration. When he was drafted into the governorship contest, by Peter Obi, Mr Obiano relocated to Anambra State and subsequently registered again at his Home Town of Aguleri in
Anambra East LGA during the just concluded re-validation and continue registration of Voters exercise in Anambra state for the Purpose of November 16th Governorship election.
Obiano thereby is registered twice for the election. This is against the letters and spirit of Section 12(2) of the Electoral Act 2010(As Amended) which states: "A Person shall not register in more than one registration centre or register more than once in the same registration centre."

Section 12(3): "A person who contravenes the provision of subsection(2) of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding N100,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both".
One expects that Willie Obiano, having registered in Lagos State should not register again in Anambra State in line with the Electoral Act 2010(As Amended).
Obiano should have applied to the Resident Electoral Commissioner of Anambra State for his name to be entered on the transferred voter's list for his constituency inline with Section 13(1) of our Electoral Act 2010 (As Amended):
"A person who before the election is resident in a constituency other than the one in which he was registered may apply to the Resident Electoral Commissioner of the State where he is currently resident for his name to be entered on the transferred voters, list for the constituency".
Based on the above legal provisions, Willie Obiano the APGA candidate stands Disqualified by virtue of Multiple Registration.
Meanwhile reports from Government House, Awka say Governor Obi and some other APGA inner Caucus are battling to save the situation through Prof Onukogu of INEC for the Commission to compromise by either deleting that of the Lagos or do everything possible to legalize Willie Obiano and save the situation for them.
We therefore call on INEC, Press, family, Police and other security agency to be at alert.

ASUU strike»WE'RE READY FOR NO WORK,NO PAY
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU) has declared that the union is fully prepared for the no
work no pay threat by the Federal Government, insiting that it was more determined than ever to salvage the country’s educational sector.
The chairman of the union, Kogi State University branch, Dr Sylvester Akwuteno, who said this maintained that there was no going back on the strike as the union had decided to toe the path of Ghanaian lecturers, who were on strike for two years before their demands were met.
Speaking during the solidarity protest held within the campus, Akwuteno noted that “until there is a revitalisation of the universities, ASUU will not call off the strike. We are poor people living in a very rich country. We are not satisfied with the way our students learn under poor environment.”
He insisted that the body will not call off the strike until the Federal Government honoured the 2009 agreement towards revitalising the universities.
According to him, “ASUU is out to liberate education in the country. The Federal Government must honour the 2009 agreement as contained in the 2012 Memorandum of Understanding. They (FG) must know that agreement is a covenant.”
He condemned the statement credited to the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) which blamed ASUU for the strike.
He said they spoke out of ignorance.

Ngige will stop “godfatherism”in Anambra state » APC leaders
Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Bisi Akande; as well as Governors Rochas Okorocha of Imo, Adams Oshiomhole of Edo and Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti, yesterday, in Onitsha, Anambra State separately spoke on the need for the people of the state to vote for Senator Chris Ngige during the November 16, 2014 election.

The flag off of the APC governorship candidate at the centenary stadium, Holy Trinity Cathedral, Onitsha attracted a large number of APC supporters from all the 326 wards in the state, who ceaselessly waved their brooms and danced round the magnificent arena.
Tinubu told the people that APC has brought to Anambra a revolution that is going on in the country, reminding them that the revolution cannot be achieved without their full participation.
According to him, APC treats headache and even rheumatism to get everybody well and on their feet to contribute to the development of the nation, adding that a nation where universities have remained shut for several months was an indication that the government had failed the people and should therefore be changed.
He said that the Anambra election is a test case for Nigerians to begin the expected revolution and urged them to vote for Ngige, who he described as an agent of change.
Governor Oshiomole described Ngige as a good product that does not need to be spent money on to be advertised. He said: "Ngige is a man who is tested and trusted and with the challenges facing Anambra State, there is no need to bring in a trainee to start learning on the job.
"Ngige is trained to save people's lives and not to make money to line his pockets and that was what he did before and he will do it again."
Oshiomole recalled how, as president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, he led several protests to Anambra State when PDP was in power in the state because the then governor failed to pay workers, adding that all that changed when Ngige assumed office and paid every worker regularly.
Governor Fayemi said the victory of Ngige is important for APC, adding that all the 11 governors of APC are determined to ensure that Ngige emerge victorious in next month's election.
In his speech, Governor Okorocha said the main reason they were supporting Ngige is because he fought and ended godfatherism in Anambra State and warned the people not to allow godfathers have their way again.
He also stated that Nigerians were yearning for change from the politics of Baba has said or Abuja has said, adding that Ngige will be a man of his own as his only interest will be to work for the welfare of the people.
Commending the people for turning out in large numbers, Ngige urged them to follow who they know, assuring them that he would reenact the Ngige quality in roads, security and other areas, if they vote for him.

A POLICE MAN DARES SOLDIERS,THREATENS TO SHOOT.
A policeman threatened to shoot at two soldiers of the Nigerian Army yesterday after they severely battered a middle-aged man to coma along the popular NEPA Roundabout in Kaduna metropolis.
According to eyewitness report, the soldiers who were driving in a private car, with a Lagos State vehicle plate number BZ288 KTU, came down from their car and beat up the civilian for allegedly driving wrongly.
One Malam Garba, who was at the scene, told journalist that "the civilian was just riding his motorcycle when the soldiers stopped their car in the middle of the road, went straight to the man and started beating him. They accused the man of wrong riding."
The civilian who was riding on a motorcycle was beaten into a pulp by the soldiers and this attracted a number of onlookers.
The soldiers were said to have tried driving away, leaving the man severely battered but a police officer who had witnessed the incident, stopped them.
After the assault, the soldiers were said to have tried to drive away but were stopped by a police officer who had witnessed the severe beating.
It was gathered that the policeman threatened to fire his rifle at the soldiers if they tried to move.
This further attracted the attention of other security agents who came to the aid of the motorcyclist.
The quick intervention of soldiers from the 1 Division of the Nigeria Army brought the situation under control. The soldiers later took the assault victim to the 44 Army Reference Hospital for medical attention.

See 8 Reasons Why Men Cheat
11.10.2013, 19:37  Life and Style
Share this story


Twitter

There are reasons galore why men pull wool over the eyes of their wives. Oftentimes, it's out of spite and neglect, while the other times, it's because they feel they will never be caught.
What makes men cheat? Dr Kamal Khurana, relationship counselor, dug through past research on male infidelity, and has even counseled couples and has arrived at the conclusion that most answers are from the wife's point of view. Here, some of his findings:
1. Disturbance in the marriage as the primary reason: When there are regular fights at home with his wife, which are left unresolved, a pattern sets in wherein he continues to be unhappy and 'disturbed'. In this kind of a scenario, either he can fight or he can flee. When he looks for an affair, he is looking to flee from dealing with the issues in the marriage, and be comfortable with that 'other person'. It is telling oneself that the problems do not affect anyone and life can continue in a better way with a parallel support.
2. Cheating men report boredom led to the affair: Some men may find the routine of a married life to be tedious and dull. These men find it easier to shift dominance or primacy to another relationship and feel the spark outside to be a thrilling option; instead of finding ways of charging their marriage. It becomes present moment for gratification versus the hard job that they will have to do in their marriage to resolve an issue. The extra-marital relationship provides them with a readymade and fresh experience, which is appealing enough to take the risk.
3. Cheating men love to experiment sexually: Sex has always been and will always be an integral part of a marriage. While some men are quite content spending the rest of their lives having sex with the same wife for many years, others prefer to experiment more as a need, rather than as an option. They want to sleep with many women, many times, and therefore do not think twice before an extra-marital alliance. It perhaps makes them feel sexually powerful and more adept than others.
4. Cheating men are emotionally dissatisfied: When their wives are too busy with their own lives, working or bringing up children or even looking after in-laws and parents, emotionally, men are left high and dry. But men are emotionally driven beings too. They want their wives to show them that they're appreciated, and they want women to understand how hard they're trying to get things right. Most men consider it unmanly to ask for a pat on the back, which is why their emotional needs are often overlooked. Sometimes the couple may not be compatible so however much the wife may do, the man will always find something to complain about. It may also happen that the woman he cheats with is his co-worker or boss, someone who praises him, looks up to him, and compliments his efforts. That's another reason why it's so critical that he feel valued at home.
5. Cheating men have a history of EMR: Some men, in their childhood, may have witnessed cheating in their parent's marriage. This somewhere gives them a message that it is okay to cheat, even though deep inside they know this is wrong. All of us learn from our parents, so taking the risk is good enough. This acquired learning also happens through cheating resorts taken by elder siblings, neighbours, peer group and everybody who has been impacted. Sometimes as teenagers and young adults, some men have had multiple relationships, these men either intentionally or accidentally end up going back to their ex-girlfriends. The other lot goes back to their past style of having multiple relationships. It is well said, what a mind thinks, achieves. So there are females also who are either consciously or unconsciously looking for such men.
6. Cheating men have wives who cheat: Men also take revenge with their cheating wives, by having multiple relationships themselves. Even if their wives are guilty and come accept their extra-marital relationships, some men continue with their tricks. This is mostly done by men who don't want to forgive their spouses.
7. Cheating men think it to be 'divorce': Some men are willfully adulterous and use it as a means for acquiring divorce. The law also considers adultery as a fair ground for the wife to seek a divorce. The man is cheating openly and is in a non-receptive mood, taking the wife's feelings of frustration to an all-time high. Although this percentage is less but it is there.
8. Cheating men need to be needed: When men feel that they are not needed by their wife anymore, they look out for some other woman, who can understand them and make them feel special. As an obvious outcome of a new relationship, they get that feeling from the other woman. And suddenly when they are showered with attention, which they haven't received in a very long time in their marriage, they toss their hands in the air and get deep into the new hot and happening relationship.

See 8 Reasons Why Men Cheat

Share this story



There are reasons galore why men pull wool over the eyes of their wives. Oftentimes, it's out of spite and neglect, while the other times, it's because they feel they will never be caught.
What makes men cheat? Dr Kamal Khurana, relationship counselor, dug through past research on male infidelity, and has even counseled couples and has arrived at the conclusion that most answers are from the wife's point of view. Here, some of his findings:
1. Disturbance in the marriage as the primary reason: When there are regular fights at home with his wife, which are left unresolved, a pattern sets in wherein he continues to be unhappy and 'disturbed'. In this kind of a scenario, either he can fight or he can flee. When he looks for an affair, he is looking to flee from dealing with the issues in the marriage, and be comfortable with that 'other person'. It is telling oneself that the problems do not affect anyone and life can continue in a better way with a parallel support.
2. Cheating men report boredom led to the affair: Some men may find the routine of a married life to be tedious and dull. These men find it easier to shift dominance or primacy to another relationship and feel the spark outside to be a thrilling option; instead of finding ways of charging their marriage. It becomes present moment for gratification versus the hard job that they will have to do in their marriage to resolve an issue. The extra-marital relationship provides them with a readymade and fresh experience, which is appealing enough to take the risk.
3. Cheating men love to experiment sexually: Sex has always been and will always be an integral part of a marriage. While some men are quite content spending the rest of their lives having sex with the same wife for many years, others prefer to experiment more as a need, rather than as an option. They want to sleep with many women, many times, and therefore do not think twice before an extra-marital alliance. It perhaps makes them feel sexually powerful and more adept than others.
4. Cheating men are emotionally dissatisfied: When their wives are too busy with their own lives, working or bringing up children or even looking after in-laws and parents, emotionally, men are left high and dry. But men are emotionally driven beings too. They want their wives to show them that they're appreciated, and they want women to understand how hard they're trying to get things right. Most men consider it unmanly to ask for a pat on the back, which is why their emotional needs are often overlooked. Sometimes the couple may not be compatible so however much the wife may do, the man will always find something to complain about.

“No work no pay”can it solve the ASUU problem?
The Federal government revealed on Friday why it implemented the 'no work-no pay' policy against the striking university lecturers.
Speaking in defence of the Federal government directive, the NUC, spokesman said the commission was only applying extant laws.
Also speaking on the matter, the Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations of the NUC, Ibrahim Yakasai, said the directive was not a policy but a law that affects all sectors of the economy, adding that it had been in the constitution for a long time.
"It's a law in this country that if you don't work you will not get paid. But the government was magnanimous enough to pay their salaries for a month or two when they started the strike. After everything that has been done, (the lecturers) don't want to go back to work; so, the law must be applied.
"Let's watch and see how far they can go with this strike. In any case, why would anyone want to pay someone that is not working? Should they even have accepted the salaries in the first instance? In fact, what are salaries for? It's for work to be done," he said.
When contacted, the acting Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, refused commenting on how such policy would help in resolving the lingering strike but
rather referred journalist to NUC

ASUU BEING FORCED TO END STRIKE
Lagos-based legal practitioner, Daniel Onwe, has
dragged the Federal Government and the
Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU,
before a Federal High Court in Lagos, southern
Nigeria, over the lingering crisis between the
two bodies which has led to the closure of public universities in the country since 1 July. In a motion dated 30 September, 2013, Barrister
Onwe is seeking an order of court to compel
ASUU to call off the strike it embarked upon in
protest over the unwillingness of government to
implement certain aspects of the agreement they
reached over the parlous state of Nigerian universities and other issues. In a 15-paragraph affidavit filed along with the
motion, Onwe is asking the court to declare that
the indefinite strike embarked upon by ASUU,
leading to the closure of government owned
universities for three months, violates the
fundamental rights of the students affected. He argued that the continued strike action by
ASUU has traumatized many students who now
engage in all sorts of vices. Onwe posited that the plight of the affected
students has worsened as their contemporaries
in private universities continue to attend lectures
while they remain idle at home. He urged the court to compel ASUU to open the
universities for lectures to resume while their
negotiation with the Federal Government
continues. No date has been fixed for hearing of the suit.

ASUP PRESIDENT SAYS “NO GOING BACK ON STRIKE”
The President of the Academic
Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP),
Mr. Chibuzor Asomugha on
Wednesday confirmed the union’s
resolve to embark on a strike two
months after suspending one. The decision to embark on the strike by Friday 4 thOctober, according to Asomugha, was reached at the 75th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of
the union. He threatened that the union will
go on strike due to the fact that
“government has not done
anything to address the issues”
two months after suspending the
strike. He said the union gave the federal
government a two-month grace
to enable them negotiate and
settle the issues at hand but noted
that “none of these issues have
been wholesomely addressed”. Speaking on Channels Television’s
breakfast flagship programme,
Sunrise Daily, Asomugha further
said that “nothing has been done”
to address the issues at hand. He noted that the federal
government hasn’t fulfilled its
bargain in the 2009 FG/ASUP
agreement, that was supposed
tobe re-negotiated in 2012 adding
that the review of the Federal Polytechnic Act, which was last
done in 2004, should have been
carried out to ensure efficient
running of polytechnics in Nigeria. Asomugha also faulted the federal
government’s decision not to
constitute governing councils for
6 federal polytechnics adding that
the release of the white paper on
the visitation to the polytechnics also forms part of their
grievances. The union had earlier released a
statement notifying the federal
government of its decision to
close down institutions by the
end of the week if government
does not honour the agreements reached. The statement added that union
will not renege on the planned
strike except these issues are
addressed by the government and
called on the National Assembly to
expedite action on the review of the Polytechnic Act. It also noted the anti-labour stance
of the National Assembly as
exemplified by the recently
proposed removal of minimum
wage from the exclusive
legislative list of the constitution to the concurrent list; as well as
the proposed legislation against
declaration of Industrial Strike by
unions in the tertiary sector. The union also noted that “the
CONTISS 15 Migration for Lower
cadres, Needs Assessment of
Polytechnics, release of
whitepaper of visitation to Federal
polytechnics, discrimination between polytechnics and
university graduates in job
placement and career progression
and the constitution of Governing
Councils to Federal polytechnics
earlier omitted, were among the issues it brought before the
Federal Government in their last
negotiation, but added that
government has failed to address
any of them since it suspended its
strike in July”

the visitation to the polytechnics also forms part of their
grievances. The union had earlier released a
statement notifying the federal
government of its decision to
close down institutions by the
end of the week if government
does not honour the agreements reached. The statement added that union
will not renege on the planned
strike except these issues are
addressed by the government and
called on the National Assembly to
expedite action on the review of the Polytechnic Act. It also noted the anti-labour stance
of the National Assembly as
exemplified by the recently
proposed removal of minimum
wage from the exclusive
legislative list of the constitution to the concurrent list; as well as
the proposed legislation against
declaration of Industrial Strike by
unions in the tertiary sector. The union also noted that “the
CONTISS 15 Migration for Lower
cadres, Needs Assessment of
Polytechnics, release of
whitepaper of visitation to Federal
polytechnics, discrimination between polytechnics and
university graduates in job
placement and career progression
and the constitution of Governing
Councils to Federal polytechnics
earlier omitted, were among the issues it brought before the
Federal Government in their last
negotiation, but added that
government has failed to address
any of them since it suspended its
strike in July”

OKOROCHA'S RELOCATION TO ANAMBRA WILL NOT SAVE NGIGE! - OBIANO CAMPAIGN SPITS FIRE
The Willie Obiano campaign forum Friday
dismissed, as an exercise in futility, Imo State
governor Rochas Okorocha's relocation to
Anambra State to campaign for the candidate of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), senator Chris
Ngige, in the November 16 Gubernatorial Election. The group, which declared that Anambra State is
an APGA stronghold, said the party's flag bearer,
Chief Willie Obiano, would emerge victorious at the
end of the governorship election. The National Co-ordinator of the Campaign Forum,
Owelle Onyeka Mbaso who recently stormed
Awka, the Anambra State capital with a large
crowd of party faithful, mobilised by the 21 co-
ordinators of the Forum from all the local
government areas of the state dismissed Okorocha as a political lightweight whose threats do not
amount to more than an empty rhetoric. "I laughed when I read Okorocha's comment about
his planned relocation to Awka. But what people
ought to ask is; what is Okorocha's political weight
even in Imo State where he is the governor?
Okorocha was a political wanderer for 15 years
until our great party rescued him from the wilderness and we welcome his visit to take his
candidate back to the wilderness. APGA will defeat
APC and other parties in the coming election.
Ungrateful Rochas okorocha will lose now and in
2015," Mbaso said. The group assured Anambra people not to lose
sleep over Okorocha's comment as they were the
"typical rants of a man in political delirium." According to him, Anambra State is too enlightened
to be led by the noose by anybody including
Okorocha. "Governor Rochas Okorocha is well
known for his unguarded statements that almost
got himself into trouble when he once addressed
former President, Olusegun Obasanjo as though they were mates. Besides, we cannot support a
party that encourages the deportation of Ndigbo
from Lagos. APGA is a political party that has the
best manifesto for good governance," he declared.

JONATHAN PLANS TO ARREST OBASANJO, ATIKU, OTHERS SAYS NEW PDP
The Abubakar Baraje led Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has said
that the party has uncovered plots
by President Goodluck Jonathan to
arrest former President Olusegun
Obasanjo and his erstwhile deputy, Atiku Abubakar. Similarly, the party also said
members of the league of G7
governors and leaders of the
Baraje faction have also been
marked for arrest ad detention. Governors in the G7 are: Rotimi
Amaechi (Rivers); Musa
Kwankwaso (Kano); Murtala
Nyako (Adamawa); Aliyu
Wamakko (Sokoto); Babangida
Aliyu (Niger); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); and Abdulfatah Ahmed
(Kwara). In a statement yesterday by its
National Publicity Secretary,
Chukwuemeka Eze, the faction
said intelligence report in its
possession revealed that the
Presidency was already putting finishing touches to the plan. According the party, the
Presidency’s plot is code named
“Operation Total Crackdown on
G7 and their allies in the New
PDP”. “When we got details of the plot
to arrest and commit the
leadership of New PDP to prison
without charge we thought it
was a joke. “The reality, however, dawned on
us after we read the interview of
our friend and brother, Alhaji
Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, in the
PREMIUM TIMES of 26th September,
2013, confirming that President Goodluck Jonathan is under
pressure to arrest former
President Olusegun Obasanjo and
former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar without any further
delay. “The sin of these two
distinguished Nigerian statesmen,
according to those plotting their
“demystification”, is their alleged
support for the New PDP,
including the G7 Governors. That this evil plot is being conceived by
the Presidency confirms that the
Abacha days are truly here again
with us”, the statement added. The party said in view of the
development, the leadership of the
Baraje group had, in an
emergency meeting of its National
Working Committee, brainstormed
on how best to respond to the plot. “Our conclusion at the end of the
meeting was that we would not
be intimidated for any reason,
even if it means death, as we are
fighting a just cause of reclaiming,
recovering and establishing our party based on the vision of its
founding fathers as the party is
currently usurped by some
members who do not know how
it was formed. “Baraje, knowing how dirty some
of the hawks in the Presidency
can fight when pushed to the
wall, directed NWC members to
write their wills immediately after
the meeting as we have entered the stage of no retreat and no
surrender – fully determined to
reclaim what rightly belongs to
us”, the party said. Baraje urged the G7 Governors
not to be intimidated or
frightened by any tactics or
strategy employed by “state
forces” to coerce them to forgo
any of the issues they have been asked to present before President
Jonathan in the October
7 meeting. The party regretted that instead of
employing diplomacy to attend to
the issues that brought about the
present conflict, the Presidency
had chosen to apply force. Baraje said that rather than being
disturbed by the plot, his
members are ready for any tactics
that may be adopted by the
Presidency in the alleged
crackdown. “In this regard, we wish to urge
both the Presidency and those
detailed to attack us not to waste
time or wait till October 7 to start
arresting us, as there are
thousands of Nigerians ready to step into our shoes and fight this
cause to its conclusion. “We are convinced that at the
appropriate time; Asari Dokubo
will join us when he is convinced
as a social crusader, the injustice
we have been subjected to in PDP
all these years so we are not threatened by his outbursts”,
Baraje added. The party quoted a one time
President of the United States,
Theodore Roosevelt, to buttress its
determination to face the alleged
threat squarely. Roosevelt had stated in that
memorable speech: “Patriotism
means to stand by the country. It
does not mean to stand by the
president or any other public
official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the
country.”

ANAMBRA: APC GUBER CANDIDATE DEFECTS TO PPA; ACCUSES APC OF ELECTORAL MALPRACTICE
A former governorship aspirant of the All
Progressives Alliance (APC) in Anambra State,
Godwin Ezeemo, has defected to the Progressive
Peoples Alliance (PPA), claiming that the former
was not democratic enough. He told journalists in Awka on Saturday that he
decamped to PPA because APC, under which he
had nursed an ambition to contest for the state’s
governorship position, lacked internal democracy. Mr. Ezeemo, who spoke through Okey Nwoke, the
Publicity Secretary of his campaign organisation,
said that he defected from APC “because of the
high level of electoral malpractice at its primaries,
which produced Senator Chris Ngige as the
governorship candidate.’’ He alleged that APC failed to conduct the
gubernatorial primaries on the principles of equity
and fairness.
“The National leadership of APC had already made
up their mind on who would have the ticket; the
primary election was, therefore, a mere formality. APC lacked the internal structure to conduct the
primaries; so, they just selected their candidate. “Equal opportunities were not given to all the
aspirants; plans for the programme were vague to
other aspirants, while all required information was
given only to Sen. Ngige. I considered this as unfair
and I decided to leave for another party,’’ he said. Mr. Ezeemo stressed that it was illogical for APC,
which had been advocating fairness and the due
process, to turn around and become guilty of what
it had been preaching against.
He described PPA as a peace-loving party, adding
that he had decided to use its platform to accomplish his goals and vision for the
development of Anambra. He said that he had a
five-point agenda for the state’s development if
elected as governor in the November16 election.
The aspirant said that his priority areas of interest
included infrastructural development, security, education, health, rural transformation and
agriculture.
Efforts to get reactions from the state APC
headquarters over the alleged electoral malpractice
during its governorship primaries proved abortive.
However, the state PPA Chairman, Anayo Obidigbo, said that the party would launch its governorship
campaign on October 21. (NAN)

Another policeman caught on video demanding N10,000 bribe
For the third time in the past two months,
another policeman has been caught on video
demanding a bribe of N10,000 from a motorist. The footage, secretly filmed by a passenger at the
back seat of a vehicle in Onitsha, Anambra State,
has so far received thousands of hits on
YouTube. The three-minute 18-second video
which first appeared on the YouTube channel of
one Tola Tim, has since become an Internet sensation. In the video, a policeman apprehended the driver
of a vehicle that was coming from Akure, Ondo
State to Umuahia, Abia State. The policeman sat in
the front seat with the driver, and after checking
the vehicle particulars, declared that he had
discovered some discrepancies between the documents and the chassis number. In the video, the policeman explained that the
number ‘0’ was the last number on the chassis
number inscribed on the vehicle, while number
‘3’was the last number on the documents
presented to him for perusal. The driver was seen arguing with the policeman
that he had asked him to veer off the road in
order to enable him (policeman) do proper
checking of the vehicle. Once the alleged
discrepancies were discovered, the policeman
insisted that he would collect N10,000 before he would release him. The driver’s appeal that there was an unintended
mix-up somewhere and that the vehicle was not
a stolen one fell on deaf ears. A nursing mother
who sat at the back also appealed to the
policeman. The man in uniform bellows, “Settle us. Just give
us N10,000 make I waka comot. Or is it too
much? If I knew you stole the vehicle, I won’t
collect money from you.” But the driver, on noticing the adamance of the
policeman, said he won’t give in to his demands. “It is three much! I want you to take me to your
station. I’m not afraid of anything. I can go back
to Akure. At worst, I will miss my appointment in
Umuahia. Why will I part with N10,000 on the
vehicle I didn’t steal? No sir! I can’t do that. “I will rather go back to Akure, get the
registration officer and other supporting
documents, come back with another vehicle and
clear myself. And that is to tell you that I have not
done something wrong,” the driver said. The unidentified driver also calmed the nerves of
the apprehensive nursing mother who clutched a
baby girl to herself. “My sister, don’t worry! At
worst, you will sleep in a hotel with your baby
when I go back to Akure,” the driver added. The policeman replied, “Eh eh. It is three much.
Wetin make am too much?” After ruminating
over the issue for some seconds, the policeman,
who was armed with a gun, ordered, “Driver,
come down.” And the video went dead. Meanwhile, outrage has trailed the incident on
various social media platforms. Those who have
watched the video online describe the encounter
as a pointer to the depth of rot and decay in the
Nigeria Police Force. They urged the Inspector General of Police, Mr.
Mohammed Abubakar, to conduct an orderly
room trial to ascertain the policeman’s culpability
in the alleged crime and place appropriate
sanctions on him if found guilty. An anonymous reader
on lindaikeji.blogspot.com says apart from
condemning the act of corruption and sacking
the culprit, more needs to be done to cater for the
welfare of the rank and file of the police. The reader said, “If you have a police officer as
your relative, you will understand better. The
income they get can’t even feed them alone not
to talk of their families. The country doesn’t cater
adequately for their needs. Many police barracks
look like refuse dumps and they are expected to live there with their children.” But a YouTube user, Paul Saint, argued that there
is no excuse for being corrupt, attributing the
behaviour to greed. Saint stated, “This has nothing to do with the
service welfare of the police. Corruption in
Nigeria has nothing to do with low or high salary
pay. If you are corrupt, no matter what you earn,
you will still find ways to illegally enrich yourself.
Most cases of corruption recorded in this country are perpetrated by persons who are otherwise
fairlycomfortable with bribes. “Corruption is as a result of greed only. Not
poverty or low pay. We must condemn
corruption at all times and not make excuses for
it. But even if they are not well paid, there is no
excuse for corruption. The most corrupt persons
in Nigeria started off with collecting less than N10,000 and because we excuse them or
celebrate them, they step up their demands to
millions and billions. Well paid or not, do not
demand or collect bribe.” It will be recalled that three cops have so far been
dismissed by the police authorities after being
filmed demanding bribes from motorists. A police sergeant, Chris Omeleze, who was
caught on video camera extorting N25,000 from
a motorist in Lagos in August was the first
casuality of the social media whistle-blowing. Two traffic policewomen, corporals Elizabeth
Itolor and Jennifer Azingbe, who were also
videotaped receiving N100 bribe from a
commercial bus driver at the Oshodi/Apapa
Expressway were dismissed earlier this month.
