All this started when i celebrated my birthday last year & my elder bro funded everything such as drinks,foods etc, except the cake & the party house decoration which was funded by his fiancee. She even bought me a 'Rolex stone watch' as a birthday gift right before my brother. 

I never knew that she had feelings for me then, until one fateful morning, when she blew it open by sending me 'morning love texts' confessing that she loves me & will do anything to make me happy. First time i saw the text, i thought it was a mistake, that she wanted to send it to my bro but when i call to confirm, she told me that the text was for me. At first i couldn't say anything, i was speechless, never believed it until when i met her one on one in my bro absent that she make it clearer to me that she was madly in love with me & even ended it up with a hot kiss.

14-Year-Old Girl Ráped By 4 Men, Condemned To Death By Her Village In India

When a girl was gáng-ráped by four men at the age of 13, her village named her a "black vírgin" and ordered to kill her.

According to tradition, in the rural village of Dadu in southern Pakistan, Kainat Soomro's own family should murder her, as her sexuál assault had made her a token of disgrace.

Four years later, Kainat is alive and a documentary about her story is premiering on television in the US.

But that doesn't mean she or her family is safe. The movie Outlawed in Pakistanshows, Kainat Soomro is still "destined to be killed" because she took the step - extraordinary in Pakistan - of fighting for justice.

The film is a testament to her family’s strength and endurance in a life which has only become more difficult the longer they have stood up against tradition.

The Soomros have faced isolation, fear and intimidation from the four men Kainat accused of ráping her, and from the members of the small village who were afraid of challenging moral laws which have been in existence for centuries.

By virtue of making the rápe accusation, Kainat is an outlaw in her own country.

The film, which was selected for screening in the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, retells the story of the young girl’s attack while walking home from school down a narrow village street by a shop where Kainat says the owner, Shaban Saikh, and three other men including a father and son held her down and sexuálly assaulted her.

The village declared her "kari", or a black vírgin, and ordered her family to carry out an honor killing to end the shame a rápe victim brings to a family, according to Pakistani culture.

The rápists beat her father and one of her brothers. Her older brother went missing for three months and was found murdered.

But Kainat's parents refused to kill their daughter, instead deciding to take up her cause in a legal system which places the burden of proof on the victim.

"They told me I am not a real man," Kainat’s brother, Sabir tells the film-makers, Habiba Nosheen and Hilke Schellmann, " that you failed to follow your tradition, you failed to kill your sister."

Meanwhile, threats of death and further violence have forced the Soomros from the house they owned in Dadu to the city of Karachi, where all 18 family members now live in a two-bedroom apartment.

The men are unable to find work, so the women embroider fabrics to pay rent and they often have to resort to asking charities for food.

Her father says the family has "lost everything" pursuing the case in which neither the police or government authorities will take any responsibility.

When Kainat attends court she undergoes a barrage of "nasty" questions, up to 300 at a time, including "what part of your clothing did you remove?" or "who ráped you first?".

The presiding judge is affronted that Kainat has brought the charges, and rules against her in part because she has accused a father and son of a gang rápe.

"In his view," the film’s narrator says, "he said that would never happen in Pakistan" and describes Kainat’s accusations "as a product of her own fantasy".

The men are acquitted, and, in an interview with the film makers, appear bewildered at why their accuser didn't just stay at home "and keep quiet".

They see their acquittal as proof Kainat "does not have good character. If she was a decent woman, she would have sat at home, silent."

The film portrays Kainat's persistence in her quest for justice, hiring an attorney, making television appearances, appealing court decisions and her unwillingness to back down in the face of continued adversity as heroic.

Even as Kainat and her family say they will fight on, perhaps for years, her lawyer suggests the future will be difficult.

100 Afghan School Girls Poisoned In Gas Attack

97 girls from two schools in northern Afghanistan have reportedly been hospitalized after falling sick as a result of suspected gas poisoning.

A total of 77 girls from the same school were taken to hospital on Saturday afternoon after they fell ill, Maimana, the capital of Faryab province.

“When the girls started falling unconscious, our teacher saw a man fleeing to the school’s orchard,” says one of the students from the Jamshidi School.

The girls also asked the government to step up security around schools and punish those behind “poisoning children.” 

Another similar incident occurred the same day in the town of Behsud. 20 girls in a local secondary school fell ill for unknown reason. All of them were also taken to hospital for treatment - their condition is non-threatening. 

Police, who searched the building, said they found no suspicious objects that could cause health problems among the girls. They do not rule out heat and the unhygienic conditions that the children endure, as a reason.

However, one of the girls who fell sick said that there was “bad smell” in the classroom when they got there in the morning and just an hour later several girls fainted. She pointed out that serious attention is given to cleanliness in her school. 

Education Director Abdul Ghafoor linked the illness to fears among schoolchildren about gas attacks. 

These two incidents are the latest in a string of suspicious cases when dozens of girls were simultaneously falling sick. Similar cases were reported in May in Faryab and Balkh provinces where 80 and 150 girls respectively fell ill after alleged gas attacks on their schools. 

In April, 74 girls were hospitalized when they became ill after noting a gas smell in the air in their school in the Taluqan, the capital of the Takhar Province.

Four poisoning attacks in girls’ schools hit the province last year, prompting local officials to order the head teachers to stay at school until late, to test the water for contaminates and for staff to search the grounds for suspicious looking objects. 

Militants who oppose giving girls the right to education have been blamed for the alleged poisonings. However, the Taliban denied their involvement in the attacks, saying they “strongly condemn” such actions, vowing to punish those behind them, the movement’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.

Women in Afghanistan got back basic rights after the Taliban were ousted in 2001.

Females, especially in the capital Kabul, returned to schools – which they were banned from during the Taliban regime in 1996-2001. Now, as the Western coalition forces prepare to withdraw their forces, it is feared that the situation may get worse again.

Spanish Police Smash Edo State Voodoo Próstitution Gang

Spanish police said Sunday [Jun 2] they had broken up a ring that smuggled in women from Nigeria and forced them into street próstitution by burning them with irons and using voodoo rituals.

Police arrested six Nigerian nationals, including the suspected woman ringleader, as part of an investigation launched last year after one of the próstitutes filed a complaint with the authorities.

“The control exercised over women was total, involving verbal threats as well as physical violence and various voodoo ceremonies to terrorize them,” police said in a statement. “The ring caused them serious injury through bites or by using an iron to cause second-degree burns.” 

The ring recruited women in Benin City, a run-down Nigerian port, whose husbands and fathers had died and who were struggling to raise their children.

They transported the women overland to Morocco and then smuggled them on small wooden boats into Spain where they are forced to work as street próstitutes in Barcelona and Malaga.

Spanish police have swooped several times in past years on similar próstitution rings that used the threat of voodoo curses to frighten their victims into obedience.

Before leaving Nigeria, the rings often take their victims to shrines where they swear to pay their debts to the group and not to denounce them to the police.

The women leave fingernails, hair, underwear and other personal items at the shrines which they are told will give voodoo priests the power to harm them wherever they are in the world.

Dreams of a truck pusher: ‘If I am the president, poor people would enjoy’

From his appearance, many people won’t give Citizen Sani Ahmed a chance. But this unkempt man has a quality many Nigerians lack: He is an ardent reader of newspapers.
AAs the breeze wheezed through the Costain-National Theatre surroundings in Lagos, cooling the effect of the fierce and scorching sun that Wednesday afternoon, a man sought shelter under a leafy tree on the roadside, surrounded by weeds and filths.
He savoured the abundant oxygen being released by the trees and grasses, damning the stench oozing from the gutters and dirt that surrounded him. His physical appearance and his filthy surroundings suggest that he was mentally challenged.
The mucky and torn Ghana-must-go bag beside him seemed to bear more eloquent testimony to the supposition. Or could he be a destitute? In the midst of all these thoughts, what fascinated the reporter was that the man was reading a newspaper with high concentration.
Not even the hooting of the vehicles and noise of the trucks that shake their trunk precariously across the Costain-National Theatre link to the ever busy Eko Bridge, Lagos, could distract his attention. Curious, Saturday Mirror spent almost an hour watching and studying the man’s reading method and desire as he flipped from page to page with the suaveness of a scholar. “He is not a mechanic. No mechanic would sit in this kind of dirty environment irrespective of the intensity of the sun.
At least, the overhead bridge across where he was sitting provides shelter. He is not mentally okay”, the reporter soliloquised as he carried out the sieving of the probable mental state of the man. “I like the paper you are reading.
That is where I work,” the reporter tried opening conversation with the reader. Unfortunately, the man continued reading with rap attention. The reporter cleared his throat, stooped and greeted, “Good afternoon”. The greeting cut his concentration. And He dragged his eyes from the pages of the newspaper like a hungry sleeping lion woken up by a prey. “What do you want,” he enquired from the inquisitive reporter in Pidgin English laced with Hausa accent. “I like you. I just want to know what you are reading,” the reporter replied. In this era of dearth of reading culture, what could have informed this man’s appetite for reading newspapers? Saturday Mirror decided to ask the man who later gave his name as Sani Ahmed, if he reads daily.
“The paper is not current,” he told Saturday Mirror. “It is yesterday’s paper. I like reading to know what is happening in the country. I read everything I see in the paper whenever I have time and access to newspapers.
I will, by the Grace of God, read today’s paper tomor-row. That is how I do it by the day. I enjoy reading” Sani said. As the conversation continued, Citizen Sani Ahmed, a truck pusher, showed that he is full of dreams for the country while proving to the reporter who had thought that he was a mentally challenged person, that appearance is not reality. The last page Sani was reading when Saturday Mirror broke his concentration, had a story on the crack down on Boko Haram insurgents in the north.
The page was still opened as the conversation went on. And when asked what his take on the insurgents is, Sani did not mince words in condemning the activities of the sect. “Boko Haram? Walahi! (exclamation in Hausa) they are not good people.
Why would they be killing people in the North? Why would they kill people when they did not do anything bad to them? It is not good at all. I do not support them because people would not be able to work and feed themselves as a result of their activities.
It is better they stop all these killings. It would not help us. Neither would it help them. All of them are spoiling this country,” Sani rued. Asked what kind of stories thrills him, he answered: “any story that is of interest to me thrills me, especially, stories about the nation. But I read everything I see in the paper.” As an avid reader, what could be Sani’s expectation from the nation, considering his seemingly penurious and pitiable conditions? His response: “I want the country to be better than what it is now. I wish that the country would become like America that cares and protects the common people. Things are not going well with us the poor people. We don’t have place to lay our heads.
We struggle so hard before we can eat. This is not how life is supposed to be in a country that cares for its people. We want the government to do something to change the situation so that we too can be happy as Nigerians.” Asked if he was conversant with President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign slogans, especially, “I had no shoes. If I can make it, you too can make it”? He said that he is not as he was neither watching television nor listening to radio during the campaign periods.
However, he further bared his mind on the state of the nation. “If Jonathan said that he had no shoes, now he has plenty shoes and he is not making us have even one shoe. It is not good. If you said that he promised that if he can make it we ordinary people can also make it, it is very clear that we are not making it.
The President should try and let poor people make it as he made it. If he cannot achieve this before he leaves as the President of this country, it means that he has disappointed himself,” Sani stated.
He seems to be conversant with the problem of the country, what is the expectation of Citizen Sani from the country? If he were to be in charge of governance, what would he do? “Me?” he wondered. “If I were the President of this country, the poor people would enjoy. I will make life easy for them.
I will ensure that their children go to good schools, graduate and have jobs to do. I will not allow people to steal government money. And I will use the money that the country has very well to the benefit of the poor people. I will build houses for the poor, build good schools, and construct roads. I will lead by example. Those are the things I will do,” he said, as he adjusted the paper he was reading and again and buried his eyes in it.

Office Séx: 10 Men And Women Share Their Workplace Séx Stories

Sleeping with your coworkers can be a tricky business.

But according to a recent survey conducted by Business Insider, a whole lot of people get romantically (or physically) involved with their colleagues.

We were curious about the realities of office séx -- did most people have positive experiences? Terrible ones? Were these interactions just séxual flings or did they turn into extended romantic relationships? So we asked readers, both male and female, to chime in and share their stories.

Read their tales below;

"Sometimes we give each other that look of 'if only they knew.'"

He technically isn’t a co-worker, we just work in the same building. All the women in the building talk about him and how good looking he is. I obviously agreed, though I never thought that flashing a smile here and there and having quick flirty conversations every once in awhile would lead to anything. Eventually, he asked me out and we went out a couple of times before we hooked up. It isn't anything serious and it’s still going on. We both agreed that we would NEVER mention our situation to anyone at work because people would most definitely gossip about us. When we are around each other at work, we just act normal and sometimes we give each other that look of "if only they knew."

I don’t think there is anything wrong [with office séx] if you can keep your work and personal life separate. I think our arrangement works because we aren't look to be in a relationship, we are just having fun.
--24-year-old woman.

"The thought of doing it right there where people work was intense"

We had just started dating and we worked in a computer room. We first worked together -- she was my supervisor. Then she was transferred to a different department but still worked in the same computer room. A couple of things happened. We worked nights frequently. We would flirt around constantly, playing little games like giving each other dirty handwritten notes or playing grab-a** as we passed by each other while no one was looking. One night when the two of us were alone in the office the games started getting really heavy we were outside of the computer room in an open office area and she laid down on the floor then we stripped each other's clothes off just enough. And then we started having séx. It was a bit tough at times because she complained about the carpet on her body and it was hurting my knees as well. But it was so hot that [the carpet] didn't stop us. The thought of doing it right there where people work was intense. Afterwards when we would see each other in the area during the day we'd give each other an evil grin -- like, "oh yeah we did!"
--50-year-old man.

"Dynamics change when séx is involved"

Dan took me under his wing at my first attempt at working retail; fresh out of college I thought I'd struck workplace gold. He was a year or two younger than me but we shared similar interests and he was approachable enough to ask questions when I couldn't figure something out. After a few months, our flirty exchanges had grown into a friendship. One day Dan asked me on a date after work, and I accepted not thinking much of it. I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and I could use a drink or five.

I'd never dated a co-worker, never thought I would, and I definitely didn't want to date him. Dan was cute enough to flirt with when work got boring and nice enough to talk to on a break, but that was it. We had a few drinks too many, one thing led to the other and next thing you know we are romping in his bedroom somewhere in Jersey. My first one night stand (because I wouldn't do that again) and my first and only fling with him. The next morning I woke up casually, pulled myself together and he escorted me all the way back into the city. I knew he wanted something more, and that was something I just couldn't give him. I'd made it clear to him that that day was a one-time deal.

Things at work got weird. His démeanor toward me shifted. He would get mad at me in front of clients if I took too long to respond to him, if I seemed uninterested or if I was plain too busy with work. I confronted him about how unprofessional it was and he'd say "sorry" but would continue making comments here and there, giving me dirty looks, or confronting about things in fits of jealousy. After this experience I am weary of creating any sort of relationship other than a professional one with co-workers. Things tend to get tricky when you spend so many hours of your day around a set of people and dynamics somehow change when séx is involved.
--25-year-old woman.

"The interview almost immediately felt like a date"

I needed a job quickly as I had just gotten laid off from an office job. I found myself outside the doors of a restaurant. I was reluctant, but went in and applied for a job. I was interviewed my the manager on the spot, [and the] interview almost immediately felt like a date. It was casual with lots of laughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation.

Four months later, I received a phone call around 8 o'clock from this manager. We spoke for quite literally 12 hours. The very next night, I was over his apartment and it feels like I have never left since. I ended up moving to a new restaurant as my staying would jeapordize his job -- but we've been married for a year and together for six years!
--28-year-old woman.

"Everything was fine -- until we broke up"

So I was a professional musical theater actress for a while and I was dating a fellow cast member during a dance-intensive show. Everything was fine -- until we broke up. Since he was the largest man and I was the smallest woman in the cast, we had many dance lifts together during the show, the sort of death defying pick-you-up-and-spin-you-over-my-head sort. Needless to say, he got vindictive and dropped me several times during rehearsal. It was childish and stupid, and gave me more than a few bumps and bruises. I wouldn't recommend dating your lift partner. Believe me, it doesn't turn out well. Fortunately the director took note and he wasn't given dance roles after that.
--23-year-old woman.

"Today he is still with his wife and I have raised our son singlehandedly."

I 'hooked up' with a co-worker. We both worked for a large, multi-national company. Many of the (male) staff spent their week away from home and returned home over the weekend. We ended up sharing a house and I used to take him to the airport on Friday evenings and pick him up on Monday morning! That was over 20 years ago. Today he is still with his wife and I have raised our son singlehandedly.

[My son is] a successful young man now at university getting a math degree. He has never seen or spoken to his father! Will they ever meet? How would his father feel? How would my son feel? I loved my son's father and don’t know if we will ever meet again. Life has gone on and my son has only ever bought me joy. He is a product of an affair, illegitimate and unplanned. Yet this has never been an obstacle in his life or prevented him from being the intelligent, kind, funny and successful young man that he is. My heart has ached over the years but now it has healed.
--53-year-old woman.

"I cheated on my boyfriend with one of the managers at my old job"

I cheated on my boyfriend with one of the managers at my old job. I ended up breaking it off with my boyfriend and marrying my manager! When my boss found out we were dating, my hours were cut from 20+ hours a week to five hours a week. He also made my time there absolutely miserable so I quit and found a new job: motherhood.
--21-year-old woman.

"Perks of the job, I suppose"

When I got my first job after uni (managing a small country pub), I had a few female co-workers. One I fancied like mad but she wasn't interested. Another was young and impressionable, and I'll happily admit was infatuated with me. We often shared drinks after work and spent the nights on the sofa in the bar.

Perks of the job, I suppose!
--25-year-old man.

"Our relationship was against company policy, so we had to keep it hidden"

I've slept with a co-worker. We were in college, we had all the same friends and [we] hung out after work. One night after a handle of vodka the inevitable happened. In fact, it happened about four times that night. And then every day after that. We broke up a few weeks later. Working together was so awkward. He brought another girl to work one evening and I freaked out a little.

We got back together. He got promoted. Our relationship was against company policy, so we had to keep it hidden, even from our friends that we saw every night. [Eventually], he quit his job and we "came out" at the company party. Everyone was shocked. We've been together eight years and got married in February!
--30-year-old woman.

"The entire time, my mind kept repeating, 'this is bad, you shouldn't be doing this'"

I am very conscious about keeping my personal and professional lives separate. However, one night, a co-worker and I ended up grabbing a couple drinks. It was meant to be just a couple post-work drinks, vent about the day, etc., but those drinks took us to a dark, poorly-lit bar oozing with séxual chemistry and pockets of isolation.

Then, one of those movie moments happened: he put his hand around my waist, I put mine on his shoulder. He looked down at me and I looked up, and then, it happened -- this incredible, inappropriate, "I know I shouldn't be doing this" kiss. It then morphed into, "let's go to your place" which then led to the most erotic, shameful and amazing séx I'd had up until that point. The entire time, my mind kept repeating "this is bad, you shouldn't be doing this, this is just stupid" but my body was loving every second of it. I haven't indulged since, but it's definitely one of those most intense experiences I've had.

''I Lost My Vírginity At Age 14'' - Khloe Kardashian Talks About Her First Time

At 14, Khloe stole her parents’ car and drove to a much older guy’s house for séx. Years later, she says having intimaté relations at such a young age is a bad idea.

Khloe Kardashian admits she lost her vírginity at the age 14 in the Kardashian sisters‘ new tell-all book, Kardashian Konfidential! “This guy was very, very manipulative, and I ended up losing my vírginity to him when I was only 14,” Khloe writes. “When my dad found out I was having séx, he went ballistic.”

But Khloe must have kept her secret for a while because she recalls sneaking out quite a bit to have flings with her “older” man. “My mom taught me how to drive when I was 13, so if one of our baby sisters had an emergency I could drive to the hospital,” Khloe writes. “But I took advantage of it. I used to steal her car or Bruce’s, and I’d go over to this guy’s house. He was a lot older than me, though he lied and said he was younger. Of course, I lied, too, and said I was 16. I was doing really well in school until I met him.”

Fortunately Khloe stopped seeing the guy and realized having intimate relations at such a young age was a horrible idea.

“I was only 14, but I thought I was so mature, and I look back and see how wrong I was,” she writesq. “Having séx for the first time is an extremely important decision that affects your whole life. … You should never, EVER have séx when you’re that young. Feeling rushed and pressured and unsure should have been my clue that I wasn’t ready to take that step.

Is Vírginity Still in Vogue?

I was talking with some friends recently on the above topic and everyone had something interesting to say. It was quite enlightening to hear what the guys had to say about it.

The ladies in the group also had something different to say, but basically what each gender had to say was based primarily on gender lines.

Vírginity is like a balloon, one prick and it’s gone forever. Please pardon my pun here but what I’ve just said is true. Most of us place value on abstinence before marriage but we all also want to have a taste of the forbidden fruit so as to know what we are getting into when we get married.

Most people especially women say they want to remain as vírgins until they get married while a lot of young men are obsessed with the idea of having sèx and being experienced before marriage.

Thinking along this line, it’s almost impossible for young people to date these days without the issue of sèx being raised and in a lot of cases, acting as a catalyst for the breakdown of the relationship if not properly handled.

It is with this in mind that the question now arises whether the idea of vírginity and abstinence is still in vogue. For a lot of men, the issue of vírginity is a non-issue. Who wants to buy a car without first test driving it? Or buy a mobile phone without first making a call with it?

The idea is that when tested okay, it won’t give one stress when you take it home. The same applies to having a relationship one intends to go the whole distance with.

The idea even goes as far as men first getting their girlfriends pregnant before marrying them. I may be crucified for this but I know I’m speaking the mind of a lot of young men out there when I say that we can’t be bothered to start teaching a vírgin some new tricks in pleasuring a man when we marry a vírgin.

Yes I know the popular saying among women is that when a woman finds the right man, he will surely find other ways of expressing his love to her without trying to have sèx with her when she says she wants to remain a vírgin till they get married.

A lot of people especially women will tell you that a thing which has never been used by anyone and less accessible to many will always have value like gold or any of these precious stones.

The truth is that any man who doesn’t try to have his way with you must surely have a psychological or biological problem. The truth be told, men are sèxual animals and will find other women better attractive than you who is a vírgin.

I’m not advocating for young girls to sleep around, but saying the truth as it relates with the thinking of the African male.

It is almost an impossible dream to expect an adult African male in his sèxual prime to remain celibate with his partner during the period of courtship and not even have another girlfriend outside who may act as a side-show and who in the end if she’s as smooth and smart as Cleopatra of legend, not snatch the man from his intended with her going as far as getting him for herself.

The idea of celibacy before marriage in this present age and clime can only happen in the make-believe world of Nollywood and the pages of a romance novel or on stage.

Our grandparents may have gotten married during their time as virgíns but believe me when I tell you that the present crop of young males have no patience for such and the advent of better and faster cheaper means of communication from the old ways of love letters have also endangered the virgín specie.

If you want me to lie to you, then I’ll say that vírginity is still cherished but the truth is the truth. If it’s a lie, why do you think the so called good girls are remaining on the proverbial shelf while the black sheep of the family keeps on having all the fun and bringing home the so called good catches?

Let’s call a spade a spade; vírginity went out of vogue like the old black and white television.

Everyone is clamouring for 3 D imagery now. The value of vírginity is subjective to the person or society within which we are living and as such is basically no more in vogue.

Yes, it is

In the times of our forebears, the top of a young man’s list of “specifications” for his dream wife was that she must be a virgín. Unfortunately, it seems that this item has moved down the lists and has stopped appearing. Premarital sèx seems to have been rebranded from an abomination to a sport.

Today, talking about and indulging in sèx is no big deal, even amongst the group of people we categorise as “under-age”. However, does this mean that vírginity is no longer admirable to the majority? From my observations and discussions with people, it seems that the vírginity criterion is more of a man’s thing.

This is quite ironic because the men set this criterion for the women only; not for themselves. In fact, you hardly find men who want to ‘keep’ themselves for their wives.

So, what we find is a world filled with women who are dumped by long-time boyfriends when the boyfriends are ready to become husbands. Why? These women have served their purpose; the men must now look for vírtuous women whom they can ‘take home to Mama’.

Most times, the guys don’t admit that it is the vírginity criterion that has informed their decision not to marry girlfriends with whom they were sèxually active. True, but very sad.

On the other hand, it seems that women just assume that men, by default, are prone to become sèxually active long before they are ready to tie the knot. Women, therefore, do not generally put vírginity on their list of must-haves.

As long as the man shows potential to be faithful, the woman is fine. You hardly hear that a woman asked her boyfriend if he is a virgin, but every woman must answer the question in whatever manner it is phrased. Because of the numerous advantages of being a virgin before marriage, I believe vírginity will always be in vogue. Some reasons are:

• It creates more room for a strong mental and emotional connection with only your spouseVírgins are more respected by spouses and in-laws

•  There is no ‘past’ or ‘ex’ to be wary of

•  Vírgins are more likely to be faithful partners

• Vírgins hardly have issues of emotional or sèxual dissatisfaction

• A person’s past life may be a ground for his/her spouse to easily distrust him/her or be paranoid/suspicious

•  No fear of STDs

•  No comparison between spouse and past partners

The truth is: a lot of men who desire to marry vírgins seem to have ‘lowered’ their standards or specifications because vírgin ladies seem to be ‘endangered species’. So most times, when a man says he is not so bent on marrying a vírgin, it is not because he would rather have a woman who by reason of her ‘many escapades’, has become ‘skillful’ in the ‘art’ of sèx.

No! It is simply because he acknowledges the fact that a lot of ladies (for various reasons) lose their vírginity before they are ready to tie the knot, and some of them could have turned new leaves. Simply put, vírginity is still in vogue, but in a subtle way.

People hold vírgins in high regard, but they just don’t admit to or express how high they rank vírginity.

I believe this is one of the instances that capture the fact that perception is stronger than reality. Young people now strongly believe that vírginity is not an asset, so they don’t need to keep themselves “intact” until they get married.

What they fail to realise, especially the female folk, is that almost every man desires to get married to a vírgin, though they may not voice out their desire. In fact, the reason why some do not insist on waiting to get a vírgin is because vírgin ladies seem to be joining the category of endangered species. Another reason is that most men know that they do not have the moral right to insist on marrying vírgins. So is vírginity still a priced asset? Of course, it is!

How Rita Dominic And Monalisa Chinda Became Sworne Enemies Over His Love

This is the story of two Nollywood actresses.

They have many things in common. They are very talented actresses. They are pretty and sexy. And they have acted in similar movies over the years.

That was why the news that Rita Dominic and Monalisa Chinda recent issues came to many people as a surprise. Though it is not so obvious, all their friends know that both of them avoid each other.

They don’t talk. For quite some time now, there seems to be no love lost between these 2 screen divas.

The 2 movie stars, we gathered, now keep their distance from each other.

The development came to the open on Monday April 8, 2013 at the tribute night held in honor of late actor Justice Esiri.

They were both present at the event.

Gist merchants squealed that when Ms. Dominic who sat at the far left decided to leave the event, she headed straight to where her colleagues such as Kate Henshaw,Chioma Chukwuka, Rosemary Ingbi, Ini Edo including monalisa Chinda seated.

When the African Movie Academy Awards’ Best Actress got there, she greeted all her colleagues but declined to say ‘Hi’ to Monalisa.

The action was seen as a snobbish act on the part of Ms. Dominic to Monalisa.

The sexy mother of one child (Monalisa) could not stand the humiliation that Ms. Dominic gave to her.

We were also informed that the action of these two actors led to different discussions among fun seekers at the event.

Those who know however said their rift started over the affections of a presidential top aide.

According to the gist, it was Monalisa that first got the slot as the babe of the top aide one thing led to the other and the aide met Rita Dominic and stuck unto her.

There are many tales of how the top aide who was a vocal activist has bettered the status of Rita financial wise. He is also alleged to have provided a large part of the cash used in making Rita’s “The Meeting”.

This development, we learnt has locked the heads of these two Nollywood stars together.
