How Can One Nigeria Continue To Exist?



Caging ourselves in disunity or do we need common respect (identifying all and sundry as "us", as shared Nigerians) living happily in alliance? It's our take.

The recent series of bombings by the Boko Haram crew in Nigeria has cast a new layer of lack confidence in to the portfolio of the cynic's mind questioning whether the nation conceived in alliance can survive. I agree to disagree that it cannot. The preceding journeys that our founding fathers had ushered us around, can never be gone despite the fact that it's being distracted by the present. Our future is tied to their sweat, enduring labor. A nation that continue to lives colonialism, and civil war can endure ethnicism, and Boko Haram. The following can help Nigeria continue to live as one single entity:

After violently raping the 12-year-old, the church leader threatened her and asked her not to tell anyone, the victim's mother said. The traumatized girl defied the threats, ran to the house of her biological parents and crying profusely, narrated the event to her mother.

MEN: Do you stay with a woman ONLY because she's good in bed?



From A reader!!

Do some of you men really stay with a woman ONLY because she's good in bed? Not because you love her, or because she stimulates your mind, but because she gives good head? Are there men out there that shallow?
My colleague broke up with his girlfriend and when I asked him what happened, he told me sex with her was a bore, that he wanted to try something new. 
When my boyfriend and I broke up, the first question my brother asked me was 'weren't you giving him good head?'
Then just recently, a friend of mine told me that the only reason he's dating his girlfriend is because she gives him the best sex ever! Are these three fools the last of their kind or are there more men like them?
