Lagos, Nigeria 2007 (Photo: Paolo Woods)

Anti-Black racism from Arabs is nothing new, but anti-Black racism from East and South-East Asians is not what most Nigerians expect. For an Asian to call us "monkeys" is beyond preposterous. For Asians to shout and yell at us, even to the point of physically assaulting a woman in her 40s is unbelievable. As you may be aware, Nigerians thrive on respect, as do Asians. Older people, Asian and African, command respect, yet to my non-Nigerian colleagues this does not translate across nationalities. I see that they have respect for each other, but literally zero, zilch, none, for older Nigerian staff. I know a bit of the language, so I can understand when they are insulting us in our presence, calling us "bastards."

 LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Human rights activists say dozens of gay men are being arrested in northern Nigeria.
They say such persecution will increase since President Goodluck Jonathan signed legislation banning same-sex marriage and criminalizing gay clubs and associations. Dorothy Aken'Ova is executive director of Nigeria's International Center for Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights. She said Tuesday the new law, already being dubbed the "Jail the Gays" law, will endanger and even criminalize programs fighting HIV-AIDS in the gay community.

Woman Taking Bubble Bath, Holding Soap Bar

When I amm in the bath or taking shower, I wash my vaginal and anal area with plain fairly warm water first. I wash the entrance of my vaginal area thoroughly with plain water [without sticking my finger inside] and then I wash the region nicely with my favorite mild dove bath cream or Palmolive bath cream and sometimes the soap versions. Whatever I actually do, I constantly make sure not to allow soap enter my vagina and wash it with plain water about 5 seconds after applying the mild soap. When washing the anal area, that you don't need to be concerned about the soap much; you can  just apply it and cleanse it well [not inside of course]. This cleansing process instantly makes my vaginal and anal area feel fresh and clean.

I understand shaving pubic hair is its not all woman's cup of tea but if you're suffering from vaginal odor or some other forms of vaginal infections, eliminating those unwanted hairs will definitely help. If you can't cope with shaving it at all, trim it at the least and keep consitently the pubic hair as short and barely visible as possible.

Dear Mr. President,

I am constrained to write this open letter to you before this season of letters comes to a close.

I will go straight to the issues at stake. Let’s start with the level of toxic-ness in the air, sustained to a large extent by the attitude of your array of spokespersons, who today do little more than insult and dismiss everyone deemed to be an “enemy” of the President. Just as you have a point when you said that the easiest way to be deemed “progressive” is to abuse Jonathan, it has also become that criticising the President quickly earns one all sorts of unprintable labels from the your camp.

Do you get sexually harassed by men in the movie industry?
It’s a choice you have to make. If you decide you want to sleep around with men in the industry, it may favour you or turn the other way round. Everyone has his or her own choice to make in the industry. I’ve heard about sexual harassment in the industry. There are also stories about ladies who really go out to made love with producers just to appear in their movies. My belief is that if God does not want you to be in a movie, you won’t. But if you are fated to be in any movie, you will surely get it. So, I believe that becoming a star is about destiny. If God says that is your destiny, then, it will be.

Uganda is 3rd on the list of countries where man doing it with man  is most searched for, aside Kenya and Pakistan according to a new article by the UK Guardian. Check on it below...

The anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda is more than simply a bill about homosexuality, and it is more than a pernicious piece of local legislation that affects Uganda alone. Of course, the bill itself is bad enough. Originally conceived back in 2009, it was introduced with the aim of ridding Uganda of homosexuality and, to begin with, contained the death penalty. An international outcry forced the Ugandans to drop that section of the bill, but the form in which it passed through the legislature just before Christmas is dreadful enough, with homosexuality now leading to life imprisonment and a prison sentence for those who do not report gay people to the authorities within 24 hours.
