WHY AFRICAN COUPLES ARE NOT ROMANTIC

WHY AFRICAN COUPLES ARE NOT ROMANTIC


Many marriages are just for sleeping and waking up, raising kids and ageing together till death comes, they see it a generational duty

* Many couples hardly kiss and they only hug each other when they receive good news.

* The husband only puts food in his wife's mouth only when she is sick and cant feed herself.

* If you see a man opening car door for his wife means the door is faulty or he painted it newly

* The only thing that makes an african man touch his wife's neck is when she complains of fever. He wont touch it again till the next fever.

* The only time he can carry his wife on his arms is when she is in labour.

* if you see them seated outside at night, dont think they are romantic. They are only waiting for the smell of insecticide to vanish.

* Many wives buy gifts for their husbands only when they are hospitalized.

* The only time they race together is when there is danger and everyone is running.

* The only time they go for evening stroll is when they want to go and lay a complain to the parents of the person that beat their child or got their daughter pregnant.

* The only time they bath together is when both are late for work.

* the only time a wife looks closely to her husband's eyes is when he complains of dirt in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Africans feel that any romantic man is being controlled by his wife.

They will begin to spread rumours around like: "chai, see as his'wife don carry juju cage am"

WHEN DISASTER STRIKES STEPS THAT CAN SAVE LIVES

 BEFORE?—PREPARE!
NO ONE is immune to disaster. Preparation is your most important key to survival. But what does preparation involve?

Prepare mentally. Acknowledge the fact that disasters happen and that you and your loved ones are potentially at risk. It is too late to prepare after disaster strikes.

Learn about disasters that can happen in your area. Know where shelters are. Consider whether the construction of your home and its location are as safe as possible. Remove fire hazards. Install smoke detectors, and change their batteries at least once a year, if not more often.

Prepare emergency supplies. Power, water, phone, and transportation services can fail. If you own a car, try to keep the fuel tank at least half full, and always have food, water, and an emergency kit in your home.?—See the box “ Do You Have What You Need?”

Preparation is your most important key to survival

Have access to the phone numbers of friends, both near and far.

Make and rehearse an escape plan. Know the nearest exits in your building, as well as the emergency plan of your children’s school. Set up family meeting places?—such as a school or a library—?one nearby and another outside your neighborhood. Authorities recommend that you practice walking with your family to those meeting points.

Plan to help others, including the elderly and the infirm.

DURING?—ACT QUICKLY
Stay close to the floor, and move quickly to the nearest exit. Smoke makes it hard to see, and most fire deaths are caused by smoke inhalation. Leave behind personal items. Seconds can make the difference between life and death.

In an earthquake. Get under sturdy furniture or next to an inside wall. Expect aftershocks, and get outside and away from buildings as soon as you can. Trained rescuers may not arrive for hours, so try to rescue others if you can.

In a tsunami. If the water suddenly rushes away from the shore, move quickly to higher ground. Expect more and larger waves.

In a tornado or a hurricane. Go to a storm shelter without delay.

In a flood. Stay out of flooded buildings. Avoid wading in or driving through water. Floodwater can contain sewage and conceal dangers, including debris, open manholes, and downed power lines.

Did you know? Two feet [0.6 m] of moving water can carry a car away. Most deaths in a flood result when people try to drive through moving water.

If the authorities order evacuation, leave immediately! Let friends know where you are, or they may risk their lives looking for you.

If authorities order evacuation, leave immediately!

Did you know? Text messaging may be more reliable than telephone voice service.

If the authorities direct residents to remain at home or shelter in place, stay inside. In case of an outdoor chemical, biological, or nuclear accident or attack, stay indoors, turn off ventilation, and seal all doors and windows. In a nuclear event, go to the lowest internal part of your building to reduce exposure to radiation. Listen to local TV or radio news. Stay indoors until authorities announce that the threat has passed.

 AFTER?—STAY SAFE!
To avoid disease and danger, consider the following recommendations:

Stay with friends, if possible, rather than in a camp.

Keep your living space sanitary.

Use personal protective equipment when cleaning up debris. If possible, wear gloves, sturdy shoes, a hard hat, and a dust mask. Beware of electrical wires and hidden embers.

Keep your daily routine as normal as possible. Your children need to see that you are calm and hopeful. Do school lessons, play, and worship as a family. Do not dwell on news coverage of the tragedy, and do not take out your anxiety or frustration on family members. Accept help, and help others.

After the disaster, keep your routine as normal as possible

Acknowledge that disasters cause loss. Government and other relief efforts focus on helping people to survive, not on replacing everything that was lost. To survive, we need clean water, food, clothing, and shelter from the weather.?

Recognize and address emotional injury. This often surfaces after the initial shock has passed. Symptoms include anxiety, depression, and mood swings, as well as difficulty thinking, working, and sleeping. Talk to caring friends.

BABY BORN TWICE IN TEXAS

A baby girl from Lewisville, Texas, has been “born” for the second time after she was taken out of her mother’s womb for 20 minutes for life-saving surgery, the BBC reports. Baby LynLee shortly after her second birth. Source: racingjunky.com The baby was removed from the womb at just four months old for the 20 minutes operation after which she was put back in the womb. At 16 weeks pregnant, Margaret Hawkins Boemer discovered her daughter, Lynlee Hope, had a tumour on her spine. Baby Lynlee weighed just 1lb 3oz (0.53kg) when surgeons opened the womb. The tumour, known as a ‘sacrococcygeal teratoma’, was diverting blood from the foetus, risking a fatal heart failure. Mrs Boemer had originally been expecting twins, but lost one of her babies before the second trimester. She was initially advised to terminate her pregnancy entirely before doctors at Texas Children’s Fetal Center suggested the risky surgery. The tumour and the unborn baby were almost the same size by the time the operation was performed. Lynlee was given a 50% chance of survival. Mrs Boemer told CNN: “At 23 weeks, the tumour was shutting her heart down and causing her to go into cardiac failure, so it was a choice of allowing the tumour to take over her body or giving her a chance at life. “It was an easy decision for us: We wanted to give her life.” ‘Her heart stopped’ Doctor Darrell Cass of Texas Children’s Fetal Centre was one of the team who carried out the surgery. He said the tumour had been so large that a “huge” incision was required to reach it, leaving the baby “hanging out in the air”. Lynlee’s heart virtually stopped during the procedure but a heart specialist kept her alive while most of the tumour was removed, he added. The team then placed her back in her mother’s womb and sewed her uterus up. Mrs Boemer spent the next 12 weeks on bedrest, and Lynlee entered the world for the second time on 6 June. She was born via Caesarean at almost full term, weighing 5Ib and 5oz, and named after both of her grandmothers. When Lynlee was eight days old, a further operation helped remove the rest of the tumour from her tailbone.

HEAR WHAT GOSPEL MUSICIAN SINACH SAID ABOUT TORTOISE

From stories that I have heard from uncles and aunties from Africa since I was born, I had always believed that the tortoise was the slowest animal in the world. Imagine my surprise when this guy made me run around!!! I wonder how many of us believe things because we were told and never personally checked it out ...

Never be limited by someone's opinion about you or stories of how it will not work! Check it out yourself ! Grace has increased!

Donald Trump ready to drag Bill Clinton sex scandals into US campaign......

Donald Trump indicated in a new interview that he’s ready to drag ex-president Bill Clinton’s sex scandals into the White House campaign, after Democrats lashed out at the billionaire’s Twitter rant against a pro-Hillary ex-Miss Universe. Trump told The New York Times that he believes talking about the sex scandals that stained the career of Hillary’s husband Bill would turn female voters away from her. “She’s nasty, but I can be nastier than she ever can be,” Trump told the Times in an interview posted late Friday. He added: “Hillary Clinton was married to the single greatest abuser of women in the history of politics,” referring to Bill Clinton (president 1993-2001). “Hillary was an enabler, and she attacked the women who Bill Clinton mistreated afterward. I think it’s a serious problem for them, and it’s something that I’m considering talking about more in the near future,” he told the newspaper. In an apparent effort to pre-empt the attacks, the Clinton campaign released audio of Bill Clinton talking about his marriage with Hillary. “I think that she has literally spent a lifetime dealing with not only her joys and her blessings, but also heartbreaks and disappointment, and sometimes unfair treatment,” a reflective Bill says. – ‘Unhinged’ – Trump and Hillary Trump and Hillary Hillary Clinton, campaigning in Florida on Saturday, described Trump as “unhinged” after the Republican presidential candidate unleashed a volley of pre-dawn tweets early Friday against former beauty queen Alicia Machado. The Venezuela-born Machado claims the billionaire bullied her mercilessly after winning the Trump-owned Miss Universe beauty pageant in 1996. “Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?” said Trump, in one of a series of virulent tweets. According to the fact-checking website Snopes, Trump’s sex tape allegation apparently refers to Machado’s appearance on a reality TV show in which she is shown in bed, under covers, with another participant. Machado also appeared in Playboy magazine. But a pornographic video circulated in recent years purporting to star the former Miss Universe was debunked as a fake. Clinton, who mentioned Machado in the Monday debate, has blasted Trump’s history of abusive remarks that included humiliating the ex-beauty queen over her weight gain and Latina origins, nicknaming her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.” “Who gets up at the at three in the morning to engage in a Twitter attack against a former Miss Universe?” Clinton asked supporters in Florida on Friday. “His latest Twitter meltdown is unhinged, even for him,” she said. Trump was unapologetic. “For those few people knocking me for tweeting at three o’clock in the morning, at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call!” he wrote. Separately, the website Buzzfeed posted a clip from a 2000 soft porn Playboy video in which Trump welcomes playmates to New York. In the clip Trump opens the door of a limousine as the models emerge. He then pops a bottle of champagne, and a splash of fizzy liquid lands on the Playboy bunny logo. The Clinton campaign pounced on the story. “There’s been a lot of talk about sex tapes today and in a strange turn of events, only one adult film has showed up today and it’s star is Donald J. Trump,” wrote Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill. – Clinton up in latest poll – Clinton pulled ahead of Trump by three percentage points in a Fox News national poll out Friday, besting the billionaire 43 to 40 percent. Although Clinton’s lead is within the poll’s margin of error, it shows a bump for Clinton, who beat Trump by only one percentage point in the same poll two weeks ago. The nationwide results come as Clinton’s numbers improve in a number of critical swing states following the debate. Florida — with its prodigious number of electoral votes — has swung back toward Clinton since Monday’s debate, polling shows. Meanwhile a Detroit News-WDIV-TV four-way matchup conducted in the battleground state of Michigan found Clinton leading Trump by seven percentage points after the debate. – ‘Bad press’ – Also out late Friday was a video deposition from June in which Trump acknowledged that he lost business after disparaging Mexicans at the start of his campaign. Trump appears answering questions relating to a lawsuit involving celebrity chefs Jeffrey Zakarian and Jose Andres, who pulled out of a deal to work at the real estate magnate’s new Washington DC hotel because of the candidate’s comments. The Macy’s department store and the Spanish-language Univision network cut ties with Trump after his tirade. Trump acknowledged that “a few bad days of press” came after his statement, and a loss of some business. “I don’t know how I can quantify it, but I think we were hurt,” he said. The video was released at the request of several media outlets despite opposition from the Trump campaign.
