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.

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:

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

Click banner for more info

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?
