You can't believe what Stonebwoy just said about legalising marijuana in Ghana.

Ghanaian award-winning Dancehall artiste, Livingstone Etse Satekla popularly known in the showbiz circles as Stonebwoy has called for decriminalizing marijuana in Ghana.

The decriminalization ordinance according to the ‘Enku lenu’ hit maker would provide greater flexibility for those seeking to use it for medical purposes.

Speaking to host Ohemaa Woyeje on Adom FM’s ‘Work and Happiness’, Stonebwoy urged various authorities to implement measures that will regulate the citizenry towards it.

“I believe decriminalizing it makes sense [Especially] for medical usage. Those [Countries] that have done that have rules towards it. Imagine it will very unfair that when you handle something in a form drugs not only marijuana and you are using it for medical purpose yet you are arrested, I believe it isn’t fair, reason I believe it should be looked at…” he explained.

Various players in the Ghana Music Industry, Stonebwoy stressed should unite for technical structures that will boost the lucrative nature of the showbiz industry.

“We have to put the structures in place. It is not only about Obuor. What are we doing individually to help the system? Music is so lucrative. The older you get the richer you become. If 2 million out of the population should pay 50 pesewas to get your songs, with a good system, how much do you think you will make…?” he said.

Stonebwoy maintained that, “the music industry needs investment just like agriculture sector needs funds”.

He further urged his respective fans to be at the ‘Ashaiman to Da World’ Concert slated for October 30 at Saka Saka Park in Ashaiman.

NPP can’t gag me nor sacrifice me – A Plus

 
Controversial Musician and Member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Asare Obeng aka A Plus has served notice that he’ll resist any attempt by some persons in the party to gag or sacrifice him.

According to him, he’ll not sit by and watch his ten years of dedicated service to Presdent Nana Akufo Addo and the NPP to go waste because of some persons parochial interest now that the party is in power.

A Plus has come under public pressure after the Deputy Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), ACP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah (Mrs), accused him of threatening her after the CID dismissed his [A Plus] allegations against the two Deputy Chiefs of Staff, Francis Asenso-Boakye and Samuel Abu Jinapor as baseless.

The CID few weeks ago cleared the two senior government officials of any wrongdoing after the President referred the matter to them for investigations.

But an audiotape which has since gone viral on social media appears to put the findings of the investigative report in doubt.

In the said audiotape, a female interlocutor who was believed to be a senior police investigator is heard telling a male character which is believed be A Plus, on the other side of the line that: “…As for the corruption aspect of it, from what you said and what we’ve gone to confirm, you wouldn’t be too far from right to say that this is what happened, but we need to manage… the people are your people. We need to find the best way to ensure that Korle Bu works the way we all want it to work.

“You need somebody who’ll be neutral to tell them exactly what is there for them to understand and I wish I could have an audience with the President himself because it looks like most of the things don’t get to him…yes I feel sad for him. I feel he has good intentions but he’s not going to achieve it.”

However, A Plus in an interview with Asempa FM Thursday suspects some persons in the ruling party are out to use political power to destroy him and tarnish his reputation, but vowed to resist any such move targeted at him.

“I say everybody should leave this matter to rest, the police issued a statement describing my claims as baseless but I kept quiet in my small corner. If someone thinks that A Plus must be sacrificed the person should re-think. I’ve received several calls since morning with people asking me to keep my cool and not comment on this matter anymore. Now this statement has been released and still people say I shouldn’t talk? I’ll not do that.

“I’ve spent 10 years supporting President Akufo Addo, wayback in 2007 when the NPP was going to congress, I organised my first float for Nana Addo from Mallam Junction to Obra Spot (Nkrumah Circle) nobody gave me a dime for that exercise. We’ve spent time supporting Nana Addo to become President and we still believe in Nana Addo. The CID claims I’ve not been able to prove my allegation, case close, but if anybody thinks he can use political power to sacrifice me, when that person moves one step, I’ll move two steps. There’s nobody who can intimidate me. When people were taking V8, we were looking for money to run campaign.

“Today we come to power and we have a simple issue, this issue has been solved and people think they can finish me. See I don’t want anything, people will say that I have contract at BOST, you can take it, I’m not talking to anyone about this issue, if the woman thinks I’ve doctored the tape and it’s criminal she should come and arrest me. Nobody can intimidate me.

“Eight years in opposition, I was living in an estate, I was driving and changing my cars everytime. NPP can take their government, people can take the contract, I’m here to support Nana Addo. Let people continue to defend issues, John Mahama used three months to win an election and used four months to lose another election miserably.”

Sammy Awuku and I pleaded with A-Plus not to release 'cover-up' tape - Presidential Staffer

 
The unfolding brouhaha emanating from the corruption allegations levelled by controversial musician, Kwame Asare Obeng popularly called A-Plus against two Deputy Chiefs of Staff, Asenso-Boakye and Abu Jinapor seems not to have an end in sight.

After the CID reported that A-Plus’ allegations were unfounded, which minimised attention on the matter, a recently leaked tape in which a Deputy Director of Police CID, Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah is heard attempting to persuade A-Plus from pursuing the matter as his allegation was found to be “close to the truth” has revived the issue.

Presidential staffer, Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe has alleged that the controversial musician is the original source of the audio recording.

Charles Tagoe in an interview with Adom FM, Friday, said A-Plus sent him the audio recording while he was with a presidential delegation at the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week.

He said he sought permission from A-Plus before forwarding the said audio to Sammy Awuku, and they both later pleaded with him [A-Plus] not to release the tape.

His revelations follow recent media reports suggesting that A Plus has maintained he recorded the conversation but did not circulate.

Charles Nii Teiko Tagoe said his plea was not because he wanted to cover-up for his bosses, Deputy Chiefs of Staff but felt it was an internal party issue.

The presidential Staffer has since been accused by A-Plus for releasing the audio to the public via a Whatsapp group, a situation, he, Nii Teiko denies and has taken him by surprise.

ACP Addo-Danquah on Thursday issued a statement admitting it was her voice but accused A Plus of doctoring her voice in the recorded conversation to seem as though she covered up wrongdoing on the part of the two Deputy Chiefs of Staff.

“He [A-Plus] mischievously picked some aspects of my voice in a later conversation I had with him when the report was released. Significantly, it is imperative to indicate that the said telephone conversation that has been doctored or edited lasted for 56 seconds. It should be clear to discerning Ghanaians that the said recordings lasted for over 5 minutes,” ACP Addo-Danquah said in her statement.

But A-Plus, in a sharp rebuttal, dared her to prove the claim that he “mischievously doctored” her voice.

“You can’t make accusations when you don’t have evidence to prove. If it is doctored, say it is doctored, why do you accuse me? It is possible that somebody else doctored it,” A-Plus is reported to have said in an interview on Asempa FM.

He has also gone a step further to dare the police to arrest him if they have evidence he has doctored a tape.

Shatta Wale to storm Stonebwoy's concert

 
Despite their longstanding public rifts, Ghanaian dancehall giants Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy will share the latter’s “Ashaiman to the World” concert today, September 30.

The self-acclaimed “African dancehall king” made this revelation via a Facebook post , referring Stonebwoy as his “brother”, and pledging support for the Mightylele star. As expected, the announcement astounded all of social media.

Shatta Wale undoubtedly becomes the biggest guest act for the concert, which will also see the likes of Kofi Kinaata, Yaa Pono, Kofi Slay, and Sariki all render performances.

Slated for the Saka Saka Park, the concert will see the singer (born Livingstone Satekla) share his tremendous career fear with a core constituency of his fanbase.

A sure sight on the night will be thousands of animated fans chanting along to choruses of the man hit songs which make up his catalogue.

Winner of several awards including VGMA Artist of the Year and BET Best International Act: Africa (both in 2015), Stonebwoy is author of two albums: Grade 1 (2012) and Necessary Evil (2014). His new album Epistles of Mama is scheduled for release this year.

US Health Secretary has resigned over the use of expensive private planes

 

US Health Secretary Tom Price has resigned over the use of expensive private planes for official business.

He previously apologized after making 26 private flights since May at a cost of $400,000 (£300,000) to taxpayers.
Government officials, except those dealing with national security matters, are required to take commercial flights for work related travel.
Three other members of President Donald Trump's cabinet are under scrutiny for using private planes while working.
A White House statement said President Trump had accepted Mr Price's resignation, adding that Don J Wright had been designated as acting health secretary. Mr Wright is currently deputy assistant secretary for health.

In his letter of resignation, seen by the New York Times, Mr Price said he regretted that "recent events have created a distraction" from the work of the health department.
An investigation by the political news website Politico found that Mr Price's travels had cost more than $1m (£750,000).
As well as the $400,000 for private flights, that figure includes the cost of military aircraft used for Mr Price's trips abroad, Politico added.
President Trump had earlier said he was "not happy" with the expense.

A scandal too big to ignore

Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Washington
In July Donald Trump joked that if Tom Price didn't get a Republican healthcare plan through Congress, he would be fired. People laughed.
Obamacare repeal went down in flames again this week, and Mr Price is out. No-one is laughing now - no Republicans, at least.
The situation is more complicated than that, of course. An ever-ballooning price tag for Mr Price's private jet trips became a scandal too big to ignore. The exorbitant spending, breaking with past practices, cut directly against Mr Trump's campaign promise to rein in wasteful spending.
If Mr Price had given the president the legislative victory he desperately wanted, the secretary may have been spared. Instead, he was marched to the gallows.
The risk for the administration has not passed. Other officials have racked up their own inordinately high travel expenses. Senior presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway was on one of Mr Price's flights - hinting that the scandal may reach inside the White House.
The precedent has been established that such extravagances can be a fireable offence.

Hours before Mr Price's resignation he told White House reporters: "He's a very fine man. We're going to make a decision sometime tonight. He's a very, very fine man."
Three other members of Mr Trump's cabinet are under scrutiny for their use of private planes while on the job:

• Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke flew from Las Vegas to Montana last June on a private jet that cost taxpayers more than $12,000, according to Politico and the Washington Post
• Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is accused of flying with his wife to view last month's solar eclipse
• Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt has spent more than $58,000 on non-commercial travel

As well as the Vegas-Montana trip - a route served by commercial flights - Mr Zinke is also reported to have used private jets between St Croix and St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands in March, and a military aircraft to travel to Norway in May.

Interior department spokeswoman Heather Swift said in a statement that, as with previous interior secretaries, Mr Zinke "traveled on charter flights when there were no commercial options available".
"All travel is pre-approved by the ethics office before booking and the charter flights went through an additional level of due diligence," she said.

12 Ways to Make Your Love Last

 
Love that lasts is the result of partners embedding themselves in each other’s brains in a positive way. Memory circuits and pleasure get all wound up together so that the other person becomes integral to the very structure of your brain, and you become part of the structure of his.
READ ALSO:Reasons why you are still thinking about your ex
Here are the twelve steps towards making your love last:

1. Take Your Partner’s Breath Away — Do something amazingly thoughtful and out of the ordinary. And let there be an element of surprise to it. A loving note tucked into a pocket. A special dinner on an otherwise ordinary night. A playlist made up with his favorite songs. These thoughtful acts will embed you in his memory.
2. Do Something Special on a Regular Basis — Call him every day to touch base and get his nervous system used to hearing your voice. Make his favorite meal once a week. Once he begins to expect these things, you will always be close to his awareness.
3. Engage in Lots of Eye Gazing — New couples seem to do this naturally, but don’t drop this strong bonding behavior just because the relationship has progressed. This is one way to keep the romance alive and is especially powerful when making love.
4. Learn What Pleases Your Partner Sexually — Make it clear that his pleasure is your pleasure, and you want to discover everything about what turns him on. He’ll be happy to have you experiment with him.
5. Teach Your Partner What You Like — For most partners, pleasing you makes him feel good about himself. And research shows that the sexual pleasure of one partner increases the pleasure of the other partner.
6. Boost Lasting Love with Sexual Novelty — When things get humdrum and routine, there is not going to be as much of a hormonal/neurotransmitter reaction, and arousal is lessened. A little novelty increases anticipation, more hormones are secreted, and more thrilling sex is the result.
7. Do Something Edgy — If you get your partner’s heart rate up, he may associate the feeling of excitement with you and he may develop more powerful feelings for you. Going on a roller-coaster ride, taking a balloon trip, shooting the rapids — anything with a touch of danger to it — can make him fall more deeply in love with you.
8. Use Every Sense — Your partner has five senses. You can embed yourself in each one of them. For vision, wear sexy clothing that you know he likes, add the soft glow of firelight during your dates. For sound, speak in a pleasing tone, and use music you know he likes. For touch, find out what pleases him when you’re intimate. But even when you’re just spending time together, touch him while you’re talking, brush your hand on his arm as you walk by him, give him affectionate kisses. For taste, make sure your mouth tastes good when you kiss him. And smell is extremely important as it is linked to the most primitive part of his brain.
9. Do Something Great for Someone Your Partner Loves — If you show kindness and love for someone he loves, you will earn major points. When you enter a relationship, you also enter a relationship with all his family and friends. Show him that the people who are important to him are important to you.
10. Summarize and Immortalize Loving Moments — Don’t be afraid to give voice to your love. Tell him how you feel. Write a loving note or poem. Lovers have been doing this from the beginning of time because it works.
11. Learn from Parrots — Barbara Wilson is a neurologist who keeps and trains parrots.  She says they have taught her important lessons about relationships that many humans could benefit from: Share your food with the one you love, groom each other, sing constantly, build nests together, and repeat each other’s words and actions.
12. Boost the Chemicals of Love — There are many brain chemicals that go into the feeling of love and attachment. Oxytocin is known as the bonding, trust, and cuddle hormone. Oxytocin is enhanced by watching romantic movies together, holding hands, cuddling, and long, loving eye contact. Women usually have more oxytocin than men, but according to one study, a man’s level of oxytocin goes up 500 percent after making love. Being too busy to make love pushes couples apart. There is another love chemical called phenylethylamine,  or PEA, which works deep in the brain to alert you that something fun is about to happen. Dark chocolate increases PEA, as do almonds and cheese. Cheese actually contains more PEA than chocolate. So, go ahead: copy the French and serve cheese for dessert on Valentine’s Day and see what happens…

Reasons why you are still thinking about your Ex.

One of the hardest stages in the relationship cycle is the moving on phase. A lot of us may have asked the question, “Why am I thinking about my ex?” either to ourselves or to someone we trust. We may have all gone through nights when we couldn’t sleep because thoughts about the ex just wouldn’t stop. That’s just normal. I’ve actually come up with reasons why I thought about my ex even after the break up.

READ ALSO:Things you should never do after a break up

1. No Closure
Although not all break ups go well, there are those who weren’t even officially declared. What happens when there’s no closure is that one of the parties wouldn’t stop thinking about the partner who left him or her. Regardless of gender, the one that gets left behind without knowing the reason why will be tormented mentally.
2. Guilt
Another reason why I kept on thinking about my ex was because of guilt. Although I hadn’t done anything really bad during the relationship, I felt guilty about how my ex took the separation. It’s just a burden somehow to know that someone’s life got messed up because of a break up.
3. Regret
Then there are those should-haves and could-haves. I thought about my ex at times because I felt like the relationship could have gone further had I done this or that. And, of course, there were also things that I realized were important enough to save what we had but none of us did anyway.
4. You want the ex back.
Last but not least, I realized after a bad break up that I was thinking about my ex because I wanted him back. Most people may have felt this way as well and the thing is, it got really harder everyday. I, myself have gone through pits of agony because even if I knew that the relationship wouldn’t work out anyway, I still felt like I wanted my ex back.

So I recalled some of the things I did that helped me move on.
1. Acceptance
Some people say that thinking about past relationships or past lovers is like pining for the old love. So the first step to moving on is to accept what happened. Letting go of the ex means we should let the separation sink into our minds. There will be no use thinking of, “If only I was…”, “If only my ex was…”, etc. In other words, get rid of the regrets.
2. Reach out to people who are still in your life
Although at some point, your ex became your life, don’t forget that you still have your own family and your friends who are still there to support you and love you. It will also be selfish to think about who you have lost when you still have a lot of people waiting to be loved by you. Going out with friends and setting time for your family will eventually help you forget about the ex.
3. Focus on Self Improvement
When I had that break up, I was depressed. While I was thinking about my ex, I was on the other hand, forgetting all about my job and myself. The lesson here is that, even if that someone leaves you, you still have the responsibility to go on with your life. So instead of sulking and grieving, I learned to displace that energy on my work and on taking care of myself.

Things to Never Do After a Breakup

 
Breakups. Whether you “consciously uncoupled” or were heartlessly dumped out of the blue, any kind of parting ways can sting. There are healthy ways to deal with your grief, which is real and vaild, but there are also things that can trip you up and postpone healing. Don’t lose heart: you will move on in time, find a love better suited for you, and all of this will be a memory. In the meantime, when mourning the end of a relationship, be sure to avoid the following “don’ts” of breakup etiquette, which can just end up harming you more.
ALSO READ: How to break up with your current partner for another

1) Pretend you’re fine.

Let yourself mourn. Cry. Punch a pillow. Journal. Surround yourself with friends who listen. The temptation may be to pretend you’re unaffected by the breakup; don’t let pride get in the way of being real. You don’t have to sob at the office, but take some quiet moments to reflect and be honest with yourself. It’s okay to be angry, hurt or humiliated. It’s healthier to express yourself honestly than grow numb.

2) Try to be “just friends.”

Very rarely can a breakup lead to a solid friendship, and until you’re okay with the idea of your ex dating someone new — and vice versa — you’re not ready to be pals.
Create intentional space for a while and let yourself mourn the end of the relationship. If your ex is pushing for friendship, stand your ground if you’re uncomfortable with the idea. Right now, you’re not looking for a friend who looks exactly like the person who broke your heart.

3) Seek revenge.

Don’t key his car, kidnap his cat, or destroy his stuff. And never, ever do something that could land you in legal trouble. (If you share the lease, deal with it like responsible adults. Don’t lock him out.)
The thrill of revenge only feeds bitterness and hatred. You may have been deeply wronged, but “getting even” won’t heal any wounds. Forgive and move on. Carry your head high and spend your energy on people who deserve it.

4) Communicate. In any format.

You broke up last week, but you still “have thoughts” you want to process with the ex. You pick up your phone. Something makes you laugh on your way to work. Your first instinct? Text your ex about it. Don’t.
There will be times when it’s important to communicate with an ex. Maybe you need to return his things. Maybe you have to deal with a shared lease or pet custody. Resist the urge, however, to call or text whenever you would have when you were still dating.

Breakups create voids. Ask a close friend if you can call him/her every time you would usually reach out to your ex. Recruit a support system of friends and family to help you fill the time normally spent with a significant other. Many people feel lost after a breakup; not because they miss their ex, but because so many of their daily habits once revolved around someone else. Give yourself some time to adapt to single life.

5) Beg for reconciliation.

Yes, dogs can get away with begging. But you can’t. Maybe you don’t understand why it ended. Maybe you think it ended for the wrong reasons. Maybe you’d just rather be in a bad relationship than be in no relationship at all. Instead of clinging to lost hope, find a wise friend who can help you walk through the reasons why you’re having a hard time letting go.
Don’t beg for him/her to return. Deep down, you know that you don’t want to be in a relationship with someone you had to beg to be with you. Besides, if your ex rejects you a second time, it won’t just hurt; the rejection will sting with extra humiliation and regret.

6) Sleep together.

Don’t do it. No woman on her deathbed says, “I really wish I slept with my ex-husband one last time.” Let the break be clean.

7) Facebook-stalk your ex.

Social media can be dangerous when dealing with heartache. Give yourself two rules: Don’t post anything about the breakup drama online, no matter how vague, and resist the urge to stalk your ex. “Defriending” or at least hiding statuses can help you avoid the constant temptation to check in and see if your ex is living a life more miserable — or worse, more awesome — than yours.

8) Get a haircut — or tattoo.

Make no drastic changes for a while. It’s easy to make rash decisions post-breakups. One major change in your life can inspire even more change. If you have a tattoo-design epiphany in the days following heartache, wait a few months before acting on it. Wait until you’re emotionally back on your feet.
Hair grows back, but be warned: a bad bowl cut can hurt your already-bruised confidence. Don’t kick yourself when you’re down.

9) Give up.

She wasn’t the one. He made you feel like nothing. Don’t let a breakup destroy hope. Continue taking care of yourself. Take some time to refocus and pursue the things you’ve always loved to do. Spend time with loved ones. Love isn’t a one-shot-only experience.
Learn what you can from the relationship that just ended and move forward. Don’t give up on meeting your perfect match. Be thankful that the wrong relationship ended to free you up for the right one.

How to Break up With Your Significant Other when You Are Already Dating Someone Else

Nobody enjoys having to break up with someone––but it can be even more difficult when you’ve already moved on both mentally and in action, and have a new significant other in your life. If you've already started seeing someone new but haven’t mustered the courage yet to break it off with your current squeeze, it's vital that you do so, including clarifying things for the new person in your life who will need reassuring that you're not flip-flopping between lovers.

This article suggests some steps to help ease the transition. And the sooner you do it, the better because eventually it's all going to get found out!

Steps


1

Evaluate your original relationship.Consider why you started seeing someone else while you were still in a relationship. Did you and your significant other simply grow apart or did something happen that made you stray? It’s important to understand why you started dating another person in order to make the break up as painless as possible. Make a list of at least three reasons why you may have mentally left your original relationship and started dating another person.How compelling are the reasons? Are they enough to stay with the new person or do you feel that this has been a big mistake? You need to know this now before you're a pond full of regrets.



2

Ponder your current relationship.Perform the same mental analysis with your new steady as you did with your original mate. Why did you start dating this person and what attracted you to the relationship? Most importantly, does the new person know that you're currently dating someone else? If your new boyfriend or girlfriend is in the dark, this may cause problems later down the road, especially if you become serious and yet you've not acted as if you have treated the relationship seriously. As with your original mate, list three or more reasons why you have entered into this new relationship and how it will differ from the previous relationship.Are these reasons compelling enough to want your new date to completely take the place of your current lover? Again, ensure that there is no ambiguity in your reasoning.



3

Check your calendar for the best time to meet with your original boyfriend or girlfriend. Timing is everything. Avoid major life events such as holidays, birthdays or anniversaries––especially if the anniversary marks a sad occasion such as the death of a loved one. Select a totally random day––one that should have no meaning to you or your current mate. However, don't use an inability to select "the right day" as an excuse not to get this over and done with. The sooner that you deal with breaking up, the better for both of you.



4

Choose a location for the break-up.Always break up in person––never on the phone, by mail or text. You owe the other person a face-to-face meeting. However, if you believe the break-up could be filled with intense drama, choose a public place, but avoid crowded, intimate restaurants. If your significant other decides to explode, he or she may not be concerned with the surroundings and have a very public reaction. Additionally, consider a place where you can make a quick getaway. Waiting to pay for the check at a restaurant can be very awkward, so head to a destination that will provide you with mobility. Some suggestions for places include:A spacious outdoor park (away from kids and playground equipment)A shopping mallThe gymA coffee shopA bar and grilleThe beachAn athletics park.Places to avoid:An intimate restaurantYour favorite place to go as a coupleThe moviesYour or his/her home––however, some people feel more comfortable breaking up with someone from their own home turf if they're the only one living there, so this depends on the contextWhile on vacationA play or concert.



5

Let your new boyfriend/girlfriend know you plan to break up with your original mate. If you haven’t already told your new steady that you had someone else, now is a good time. If you want to have a strong, honest relationship with your new boyfriend or girlfriend, it’s imperative you alert your new honey to the situation. Along the same lines as breaking up with your other mate, choose a random day and place to tell your new boyfriend/girlfriend about the other person.Begin the conversation by reinforcing your feelings for him/her.Explain how your life has changed since you met him/her.Discuss your plans for the future with the new person.Gently tell him or her that you have current boyfriend/girlfriend, but that you will be breaking up on a certain date and why you plan to break up.Reassure your new boyfriend/girlfriend that the break-up will truly result in the end of that relationship.



6

Contact your original boyfriend/girlfriend to arrange for a meeting in order to break up. Don’t tell the other person over the phone, email or text why you want to meet, but simply ask if you can meet on a certain day and time to talk. Don’t make a lot of small talk on the phone and definitely do not say things like, “I love you” or “I miss you.” Avoid confusing the situation--even if the other person is the one who says it first. Stand strong but be gentle.



7

Prepare for the meeting. If you have to rehearse the delivery, do it. Just don't have notecards out in front of you and refer to them while you're breaking up. Punctuate the other person’s positive qualities first but make no qualms about why you're there––to break up. Ask the other person if they were truly happy in the relationship. You may be surprised to learn that he or she wasn’t happy either. (Be prepared for them to say they were though, in which case, asking them will backfire on you and you'll have to apologize and recognize that they were happy but explain that you're still not.) Other points to consider:Avoid telling the other person that they drove you into the arms of another––that will only escalate into an unproductive discussion and says more about your inability to be independent-minded than it does about them. It's not a tactic to escape unscathed; it's a way of telling your soon-to-be ex that you're making excuses.Don’t lead the other person on to think that you could possibly get back together. Make it clear that it's over.Don’t point fingers––it takes two to make a relationship work (or not work). Acknowledge your own faults, lack of participation and inability to contribute fully to the relationship.Don't drag out the past––remain in the “here and now” instead of talking about the time he or she kissed someone else, for example. The idea is to not apportion blame or to try to make your soon-to-be ex look bad; rather, help them to see that this is ultimately a good decision for the two of you.



8

Be on time for the meeting. Show the other person respect by being prompt and exactly in the place where you agreed to meet, at the time you agreed. If you know that they're never prompt, take something along to do to pass the time so that you avoid getting frustrated waiting for them. Take a book, your eReader or play phone games. Just resolve to stay calm until they arrive (and after, of course).



9

Remain calm and in control throughout the discussion. Keeping in control of a conversation means being ready to open it and to lead with the news of the break up as quickly as possible. Also be prepare to ask questions as much as or more even than you're asked questions, questions about how the other person is taking the news, how they're feeling and what they'll do next. By making them respond to your questions, it shows that you care enough about their welfare to be interested but also deflects a focus off you all of the time, as they're forced to think over how they're taking it and how they're going to move on.All the same, anticipate the possibility that your significant other could flip out so keep that in mind during your break up delivery. If you remain calm, perhaps you can tone down the situation.If they have items in your home, be sure to allow them plenty of space to retrieve their things without pressure or anxiety. You could even offer to have them delivered but don't sound like you don't want them to collect their own things if they want to.



10

Keep an eye on the time. Don't allow the break up to last more than an hour. You owe the other person the time to discuss his or her feelings, but you don’t want to drag the break up out for hours; doing so will just encourage unhealthy wallowing and your ex will be tempted to raise a whole raft of reasons why this shouldn't be happening and why you need to reconsider. Have a good excuse ready such as meeting someone else, having to get work done or needing to get to bed early for an early meeting, etc. Offer to drop them back home if it helps or to shout them a taxi ride.



11

Try to end the meeting on a good note. This may be impossible, especially if the other person wasn’t expecting it or didn’t want to break up. If the other person storms off, there is nothing you can do. However, if you can end it amicably, wish the other person well and you can even hug. Don’t make plans to see them soon or say, “Let’s be friends.” The break up is still too fresh to identify any future plans or friendship dynamic.



12

After speaking with your “now former” significant other, arrange to meet your new squeeze to reassure him or her that you went through with the break up. They will need to be sure that you went through with it and that things are truly over and done with, allowing the two of you to proceed forward happily and with strength as an unencumbered couple.

READ :Full letter Peter of P-square wrote before their break up

Nigeria finest author, Chinua Achebe was damn right when he once recorded that, “Turning and turning in the widening gyre. The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world…”



Similarly, the same thing is happening in the camp of the music duo, P Square. Peter and Paul Okoye popularly known in showbiz as P-Square have officially terminated their contract as a music group.



The Nigerian twins who are regarded as the best music duo that African has ever produced have for the second time went their separate ways, only this time it’s final.



Paul and Peter for some weeks now have been throwing silent jabs at each other on social media to the displeasure of their millions of fans.



In a letter Peter sent to their lawyer to see to the canceling of their contract, he stated he has nothing against his twin brother but he can’t work with him and their elder brother, Jude Okoye who serves as their manager because they have on countless occasions disrespected his wife and children.



He further stated Paul has for the past weeks been insulting his wife and children on social media. And Jude their brother has threatened to shoot his wife and he can’t allow that because his wife and kids are everything to him.





Peter who now goes by the name Mr. P stated:



“Psquare is no more. I have nothing against my brothers. I saw Paul’s post on Instagram about blood being thicker than water.’



‘Who is water and who is blood,’ Peter asked, adding that his nuclear family (wife and kids) are very important to him and he has decided to move on with his personal brand – Mr. P.



This quarrel between the twins started a year ago and the media was rife with rumors that they will break up but some highly respected persons in Nigeria stepped in and solved their misunderstandings.



A year down the line, the misunderstanding and quarrels are back and they have officially separated.

P-square Finally split up. Check out why!

One of the members of the PSquare, Peter Okoye, has called it quits with the popular music group.

The artiste, well known for his edgy dance steps, demanded that their agreement as a group be terminated in a letter  to their lawyer Festus Keyamo.

According to the copy of  the letter that circulated on social media platforms on Monday, Peter claimed that his twin brother and partner, Paul , cancelled a music tour to the United States without consulting him, among other allegations.

 Peter also accused Paul and Jude, their older brother and manager, of paying lip service to resolving the crisis they had been having over the music business.

The Okoye brothers have been engulfed in war of words on the social media since last year despite all efforts  by friends and associates to reconcile the family and business.

Peter said he wanted to opt out of the Psquare contract and group. He also posted a video on social media  telling his fans that he had gone solo and was going to perform at a show in Philadephia.

 “My name is Mr P,” Peter said, “As from today, guess what? It’s show time, I’m about to go on stage,” Peter said in the video.

This development comes days after his brother, Paul, wrote on Instagram, saying, “Only a woman can come where there’s peace and destroy it,” in reply to an earlier post from Peter  where he said, “No one else should matter but the one that makes you happy.

In the letter, Peter also alleged that his life was being threatened.

Reasons Why Happy Couples Don’t Talk About Their Relationships On Social Media.

If you have seen happy couples, you might have noticed one thing about them, and that’s posting less on social media about their relationships. Social media can be annoying at times and it’s especially when you see couples bragging about their relationship and make their personal lives public. It’s even more annoying when it’s your best buddies and you have to deal with their posts that they make every other day.

But do you think love needs justification or some kind of online certification? I have seen a lot of happy couples who just stay away from social media and live their lives to fullest. ‘OMG, that’s so us, relationship quotes, sharing your pictures with your partner’, you won’t see this kind of post from a person who is truly happy with their relationship.
Also read:12 Things women can't say no to

Top reasons why happy couples post less about their relationships on social media. Let’s take a look!

1. It’s a private matter
Couples always enjoyed the sort of privacy before social media revolution but today, it has become difficult. Happy couples know about having a good time and they don’t believe in showing others that they are having a good time. They enjoy each others time because they actually like being together and it’s not needed at all to show this off on social media.

2. Because social media is all about faking up
Have you seen couples posting their sad photos or when they are not having fun, or having a fight? People think that if you post the pictures of happy times, others will think that you are happy in your relationship. You are convincing others to convince yourself that you are happy.

3. Happy times always makes you tend to forget to take photos
If you can recall the happiest moments of your life, it’s always the moments that aren’t captured on camera. Happy times and presence of genuine joy, we often tend to forget to take photos. And for happy couples, taking photos is always considered as the last thing.

4. Telling people about your relationship will do nothing
The sign of a good relationship is an argument. If there is no argument in a relationship, it either means you both aren’t matured or don’t care enough. Making online posts after a small fight will do no good, you should talk to each other instead.

5. Posting too much implies that you are attention seeker
Happy couples know the difference between having a good time and showing that you are having a good time. Posting too much only means that you need likes and you are an attention seeker.

 

 

Happy couples don’t need to prove how happy they are

Genuinely happy couples don’t have to prove anything to the world. Most couples who post about their relationships always try to prove something or to make their Ex jealous or to prove others that ‘OMG, they are so happy’.

7. The social media statistics 
According to a study, people who spend less time on social media are happier than those who spend most of their time online.

8. And this funny reason
I have seen a lot of guys who post their private pictures and it only implies that they are trying to prove that even they can have a girlfriend. It seems like even they don’t believe that they can have a girl.

9. Real thing that matters is being happy
You’ll get nothing from posting the evidence of how happy you are. The joy is to be found in being together, not in posting about being together.

10. Couples who post a lot about their relationships tend to be insecure
A survey was done on more than 100 couples. The researchers from Northwestern University found those who posted more frequently on social media about their partner actually feel insecure in their relationships.

Conclusion:
Even unhappy couples don’t post much on social media and there are also some happy couples, who post their photos on a regular basis. However, the findings from professionals and research prove that a majority of couples who brag about their relationships online aren’t really that happy in reality.

12 things women can't say no to.

Women like to do a lot of things and at the same time they’re picky as hell! There’s usually no telling what really goes on in their mind. However, there are some things they just can’t say no to…

1. A Man With An Accent. 
And arguably, the most popular accent among most women is the British accent. Women just swoon when a man whips out his foreign accent. If you are someone with a sexy accent, then you are automatically a winner in her books. Just match it up with a cute face though.

2. Your Hoodie. 

Women are notorious for taking your hoodie and never giving it back. All men who are in a relationship, winter is coming. So beware!

3. Shoes. Shoes And More Shoes. 

Many men have learnt the fact that women can never say no to shoes the hard way. And by the hard way, I mean having to walk around from store to store and watch her try on one shoe after the other.

4. A New Beauty Product. 

The market is so saturated that a new beauty product is hitting the market every week. And yes, women can’t say no to make-up. Atleast not the ones who can’t live without it.

5. A Fresh Manicure. 
Not even a single woman can come forward and say this isn’t true. I’m that confident about this one.

6. Yoga Pants. 

Ladies love yoga pants and every man loves a girl in yoga pants. There’s no denying that one. It’s a win win situation!

7. Puppies. 

Doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or a girl. Even a cat person can’t say no to adorable puppies.

8. Cheesy Pictures. 

Ladies love to take cheesy selfies when alone or in the company of her friends. They might cringe and delete them afterwards but it doesn’t change the fact that they click them in the first place.

9. Hugs From Her Special Someone. 

Hugs are a must! For everyone.

10. Boybands. Unless She’s A Metalhead. 

Then she’s into bands. Just more mature and hardcore ones.

11. Anything Her Best-Friend Wants To Do. 

And vice versa.

12. Reality TV. 

Yeah, most of them are guilty of this one. They might have outgrown this phase but they were hooked to it at some point in their lives.

Some Crucial Things That You Should Never Hide From Your Partner.

A relationship will never work if you have trust issues. Trust is one of the most crucial things in every relationship and If you keep hiding things or lie to your partner, one day this is gonna cost you. We know that communication is the most important factor in a relationship. If you keep your mouth shut, hide things or lie to your partner, your relationship is never going to work out. You should always discuss the things that are either bothering you or might affect your relationship later. Always remember that there are certain things that you should never hide from your partner and it’s better to tell them if you are looking for a long-term relationship.

12 Crucial things to never hide from your partner. Know what are they.

1. Your past relationship
It’s better to tell your partner about your past relationship than getting a surprise call from your ex or an awkward meet in the supermarket.

via

2. Health-related things
Your health is important not only to you but also to your partner and your kids. Always keep them informed of your health-related problems. Do not think like you don’t want your loved ones to worry.

via

3. Expenses and finances 
The money problem is one of the crucial things all couples have to face and it can even push couples in getting a divorce. You should always tell about your financial problem to your partner and work on savings if you can.

via

4. Your dreams and future goals
A lot of times people compromise in a relationship and give up on things that they always had thought of doing. If you are sharing a life with a person, you need to share your goals too. It’s better to tell them so that they can support you along the way.

via

5. Your religious beliefs
A strong religious belief can impact a relationship. If both of you don’t care too much about it, it shouldn’t create a problem but if one of them has strong religious beliefs, you have to be careful before you hurt their beliefs.

via

6. Your views on marriage and kids
Make sure you ask his/her views on this before settling down together as it’s really one of the crucial things.

via

7. Your sexual interests
A good sex life is a key to a happy relationship. You should be bold enough to ask your partner about their sexual interests and things they like in bed. There is nothing to hide or lie about it.

via

8. About your partner’s friend that you don’t like
It’s quite normal for your partner to dislike one of your friends for many reasons. If you hate them, do let your partner about it.

via

9. Difficulties that you face at work
No one likes when your boss yells at you for no reason. It’s better to tell your work-related things that upset you. Hiding these things will demotivate you, or worse, lose your job. Tell him/her that you have something to talk about. Pour two glasses of wine or cups of coffee and spill it.

via

10. Your habits
Make promises only when you can keep it before making any serious commitments. You should tell your partner about your sleeping habits, spending habits, food habits, or even some bad habits like smoking and drinking. These habits must be talked about right at the beginning to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

via

11. Your expectations
Over expecting hurts and especially in a relationship. If you have something to be discussed and you are not sure if your partner will meet your expectations, ask them about it and be open.

via

12. Children from previous relationships
You cannot be silent or mum on whether you have any children from past relationships. Even if you are not in touch with them, this is something that your partner must know, as this can cause legal issues later.

These crucial things are something that you should never hide or lie to your partner. The more you hide these crucial things, you are creating more troubles for yourself.

9 Guys Share The Most Romantic Date They Ever Planned And It's Actually #Goals

1. “I don’t know how many guys will read this, but this is my ultimate date move secret. For the price of an expensive meal and a gift, you can rent a chartered boat for two hours instead. No joke. My now-fiance loved it, and I brought some champagne and a picnic lunch to save a bit on expenses. I’m not saying this is an everyday kind of date, but it was definitely a huge hit, incredibly romantic, and easier than you'd expect.” — Matthew, 29

2. “I was in a long-distance-relationship and when she flew over to visit I planned an entire day out in a nearby city, down to the minute. We did food, tourist hot spots, everything. She had a great time and it might not sound like much, but I’m horrible at planning and I put my blood, sweat and tears into it. I think she knew that. It was weeks of planning, maybe months. But I think the thought behind it is what mattered most.” — Jim, 27

3. “Apparently, hot air balloon rides are romantic AF. I just thought it’d be cool to go up in a giant balloon.” — Shaun, 25

4. “I got tickets to Hamilton. Apparently, that’s all I needed to do.” — Steve, 27

5. “I still can’t believe I pulled this off, but as a birthday gift, I planned a surprise vacation for my girlfriend. She really, really wanted to go to Iceland more than anything. I managed to get tickets, clear it with her boss (it helped that we knew each other well), double-checked with her friends and family that she had no other obligations and packed for her. And even with all that, I still managed to keep it a secret. I told her I was taking her to her favorite restaurant on her birthday, and then we drove to the airport. I think it dawned on her when she saw we were going through customs what was happening. The look on her face was worth it. I’ve been riding this wave for a while. I’m pretty sure she could find out I’m a serial killer now and it’d still be OK because of this trip.” — Derrick, 28

6. “I made plans for a first date with a girl from Tinder, and she challenged me to take her somewhere that had ‘personal meaning.’ I took her to a beach town that my family and I always used to visit growing up. It wasn’t so much the date itself as it was I just got super lucky all day. Like, I even won her a giant stuffed bear at one of those rigged carnival games on the boardwalk. She said it felt like a scene out of a movie. That made me feel really good.” — Brett, 28


7. “It was a hike that ended with this amazing view under the stars and I busted out a whole meal I had made with wine and everything. Then we camped out under the stars. I really recommend everyone do that at least once, unless your date really hates the outdoors.” — Alden, 27

8. “It was early on in our relationship; we’re married now. I found out my now-wife had never been to Niagara Falls but always wanted to see it. So we took a spontaneous day trip up there (at the time, we lived close enough that it was doable). She said the date was so romantic, and the spontaneity helped, too. I think that’s really where we both fell in love.” — Kevin, 28

9. “I found out my girlfriend in college never attended prom. Our sophomore year, we were both taking summer classes so we were still up at the campus and I found a local prom going on and got her a corsage. We wound up crashing it because at the time we both still looked very young. It was also a big enough school that we were able to fly under the radar. We didn’t stay long, just long enough to have a few dances and some punch, but she loved it.” — Michael, 29
