A proudly gay Nigerian man wants to know why so most Nigerian men are so homophobic...

Have you men ever solemnly considered what it is about homosexuals that scare you? I use the word homosexuals to refer to both lesbians and gays, but I'll tell you this, I am really interested in talking about homophobia as it concerns gay men, because for some reason that is beyond me, we never seem to be angry or threatened by lesbians. In fact I have heard one too many times how exciting the thought of two women doing it could be, but however connected the case of lesbian - acceptance is to homophobia against men, I won't be addressing it here.
So, what is it about two men getting hot and heavy with each other that seem to terrify y'all? This is not the time to whip out your Holy books at me, keep them aside for a second, will you?
Do you really imagine that you have a sense of propriety when you openly declare your hate for the gays? No, really why do we hate the gays? Is it some deeper issue that I have yet to understand or a mere case of hypocrisy?
I just want a sensible reason why I should take a piss on the rights of individuals who feel love and/or attraction for each other; I have not found it yet. So if you can give me one, please do, however, no religious based arguments, chances are that you've broken most of the rules yourself. I mean, you're not Jesus, the perfect son of God. In anticipation of the event that no one can come up with a logical reason for homophobia, I'll advise that you channel your contempt for the gays to contempt for our thieving leaders; the man/woman who (sexually) abused your sister, brother, wife, mother; Boko Haram; ignorance; hypocrisy, and the many other gazillion things that mess up Nigeria.

Giant Crocodile Snatches Man At Birthday

A 24-year-old man was snatched by a crocodile in front of at least 15 onlookers as he swam across a northern Australian river with a friend, police said Sunday.
Northern Territory police said the man was with a group celebrating a birthday at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat,about 110 kilometres (70 miles) from Darwin, on Saturday when he decided to plunge into the water.
"They were watching him swim across," senior sergeant Geoff Bahnert said of the group.
"And they just saw a crocodile with him in its jaws."
Police conducted a search for the man, but were unsuccessful. The search was continuing Sunday, Bahnert said, adding that the largest crocodile at the site had been shot and killed as a precaution.
Reports suggested the men had ignored warnings not to swim in the river because of the risk of a crocodile attack.
"We tell people to stay away from the water, they obviously went against this (and) a man was taken," an employee of the resort, Erin Bayard, told News Corp Australia.
"We say to everybody it's full of crocs. It's one of the mostpopulated rivers in the Territory, every couple of kilometresthere is a large croc."

How to Make Sure You Are Dating the Right Person

Opposites attract, so you should date someone who's nothing like you. But wait a minute, isn't it important to date someone with a similar background, values and goals? There is so much conflicting advice out there, how can you possibly figure out who to date?
Following are seven signs you are dating the right person. Ofcourse, they don't all have to line up perfectly, but the morealigned you two are, the better the relationship.

1. Temperament:

Do you get along well most of the time or find that he/she irritates you on a regular basis? Do you find yourself saying,"If only she'd think before she spoke," or "I wish he'd be less lazy,"? Is he overly anxious? What you see is what you get,so if you don't like a lot of what you see, don't try to fix the other person's personality. Find someone whose temperament is more compatible with yours.

2. Communication Style:

Are you direct or indirect in conveying what's important to you? Are you passive while she's assertive? Do you hold things in until you explode or speak your mind clearly and directly? In a good relationship, you communicate your needsto each other on a regular basis. If you can both communicate well and in a similar fashion, you'll have a much higher chance at a successful relationship.

3. Friends and Family:

Do you like and get along with each other's friends and family? Do you agree about how much time to devote to both? If this is a stressful topic, one that you can't easily resolve, it will potentially have a very negative effect on your relationship.

4. Nutrition and Fitness:

This may seem like a minor point, but think about how many meals you will share with each other. How do your mate's food choices and attention to fitness align with your lifestyle and values? If you're not a good match in this arena,you will probably have challenges in your relationship.

5. Financial:

Many people say that they are seeking a mate who is financially secure. In today's volatile financial market, financial security is not something you can count on. A more appropriate question is, are you and your partner united in being responsible with finances. Are you both generous? Doyou both contribute to charities? Money is something that couples fight about most often. It is helpful if you share similar financial goals and habits.

6. Education:

Couples who share similar backgrounds in education, life and professional experience are better suited for each other. They have more in common and can relate to each other in adeeper way. They are on the same wavelength and truly 'get' each other.

7. Intimacy:

There are many things that come under the category of intimacy, including romance and public display of affection. Some couples have different sexual needs, which can lead to anger and resentment. A very essential component of a lasting loving relationship includes having similar ideas about frequency and style of intimacy. So if Mr. "High Libido" and"Ms. Low Libido" meet, that will have some issues in the bedroom.
Conclusion:
What can you do if you are not compatible?
1. Accept things as they are.
2. Work on yourself and the relationship.
3. Leave the relationship.
Remember that the only person you can change is yourself. Your partner will only change if they want to.
If you are dating to find a lasting, loving relationship, it is much better to choose a compatible partner now than to try and fix something that is broken later. Don't be afraid to let go of the wrong person if your basic needs are not met. There are millions of singles in the world. Move on and find a better fit. And make sure to use the most powerful

MUST READ; "Condolence Letter To The First Wife And Mother Of Nation" MAMA PATIENCE

Dear First Wife and mother of the Nation, I have found this letter expedient after digesting the release confirming that indeed your godmother, Mrs Charity Oba, died in a ghastly motor accident. I had been very wary of believing any story picked up in the media about you these days because of theincredible insolence and disparaging attacks on your precious office. A case in point is the argument that your office is not captured in the constitution. Your opponents forget the thirteenth commandment of the constitution that says - if it does not exist, invent it.
After all, you were not the first one to occupy that office. It's a shame that your humility has given people a license to insult, ridicule and disparage your transformed personality. If you were not a savior of the nation, you could have ordered a padlock be fitted on every foul-mouthed critic even if they are professors. After all, you have several PhDs to the shame of grammar.
When people are joined in holy matrimony, the pastor usuallysay that the two shall become one. This singular assertion means that you are an extension of your husband's popular mandate duly affirmed by the Supreme Court. It was evident recently when the entire A-Y-A axis of the Federal Capital Territory was locked down in honour of your official function. Abuja residents got a taste of the fever that grips Port Harcourt each time you visit for only those invested with executive lawlessness can deny free movement guaranteed by the constitution without reprisal.
Who could prevent pregnant women, the sick and invalid from accessing hospitals for six solid hours except your Excellency? Only you can transform the lives of those whodepend on such free movement to feed their over bloated family.
The second reason this letter is delayed, your Excellency, is because having fulfilled the mandatory seven deaths and seven resurrections, I had been persuaded to believe, your Excellency, that you cannot suffer mortal bereavement. After all, Jesus raised Lazarus before he even resurrected once. So, when I read the story that Mama Sisi had passed, I deliberately disbelieved it remembering that your Excellency promised after resurrection, to devote the rest of your lifeto humanity. Where else should such devotion start but home with lineage immortality?
To believe that Mama passed in a road accident is a travestyof the Transformation Agenda by which the First Family is immune from the things that kill others. Yes, it so happens that 50 people needlessly die daily on our roads, it should not be the portion of presidential in-laws. What happened to extending that protocol sole movement on the road to your godmother? I was waiting for the setting up of the usual presidential committee to probe this rumour when your information officer released the condolence stinker on Amaechi and his wife. This death is as a result of dereliction of duty by the IG who woefully failed to provide cover for the presidential mother on roads meant to reduce population explosion.
At some point, your Excellency, we may return to blame President Jones for treating his in-law with indifference. Your godmother should be donating computers and accessories to the buildings the President's mother recently donated as a sign of unity in the first family instead of lying in state. I hope henceforth, that Airport Road is closed whenever the presidential kids go to their American school. No member of the presidential family should be subject to the vagaries of life that claims the lives of ordinary Naija people while you live in the Rock of Offense.
To cap it all, I read with utter disbelief reports that you had snubbed the deputy governor or your state at the airport. I cannot even begin to imagine the level of insolence of your state governor to your treasured office. If I were Rotimi Amaechi, I would have declared one-month public holiday, distributed ashes and sackcloth and buy up all airtime on NTA until the final rites are performed. What is more, I would have appointed myself chief mourner and cause my wife lieon her back on the tarmac as a stepping stone as you return home to make burial preparations. That is the only way to show that they were not complicit in this death as the British secret police are in the death of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. To provide pictures of signing of condolenceregister when you should be the hearse chair is impudence.
I wish I could recommend appropriate punishment, your Excellency, but please forgive them as Jesus forgave the thief on the right hand for wanting to drag your bad name inthe mud for complaining. My final prayers, your Excellency is that may God grant the feeble Naira the fortitude to bear the cost of the burial of the century.
Yours obedient servant,
Wakaman

Kanye West: Living With Kim Kardashian in Kris Jenner’s House Is “Interesting”

Kanye West may be rap royalty, but these days, chaos reigns supreme in his life — and he wouldn't have it any other way. Sitting down to chat with girlfriend Kim Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, for the Friday, Aug. 23, episode of her talk show, the hip hop star opened up about how much his life had changed since the birth of his baby daughter, North, two months ago.
One major change has been his living situation.
West, 36, and Kardashian, 32, have been living with Jenner, her husband Bruce, and their daughters Kendall and Kylie at their home in Calabasas, Calif.
Asked how he felt about the arrangement, the rapper hesitated a moment before answering.
"It's…interesting," he said after a long pause, explaining that he's used to things being a little quieter. "There's noise happening all the time."
That said, he loves that there are people waiting for him when he comes home. "When I'm out, I just want to get home early so I can be with my family," he shared.
Jenner, for her part, said on the show that she enjoys having West as a roommate and even grills her daughter when he's away to find out when he's coming back. "We love each other a whole bunch," she gushed of the new dad, noting that they've settled nicely into a routine and start each day with a "good morning."
The talk show host's much-anticipated interview with West also included the rapper's thoughts on his relationship with Kardashian, as well as the big reveal of the first photo of the couple's daughter, North. "Kim is my joy," he said during the emotional chat. "She brought my new joy into the world."
West admitted that prior to finding love with the reality star, he could sometimes be reckless. "I would put my life at risk, " he told Jenner of sinking to an all-time low after the 2007 death of his mother, Donda West. "I didn't have something to live for.
Now I have two very special people to live for, a whole family to live for, a whole world to live for."

President Barack Obama Big Tippin' Spendin' G's

The leader of the free world President Barack Obama has done something only great men do ... he tipped his server ON TOP of already added gratuity. He DOUBLE TIPPED! Obama stopped for lunch in Rochester, NY Thursday at a little deli called Magnolia's. It was widely reported that the Prez ate agrilled cheese and some cream of tomato soup. Big stuff. But what you didn't know ... Obama not only bought lunch for his secret service men (the ones who checked the place for WMD's before hand) ... he also double tipped his waiter, like a champ. We obtained a copy of the receipt ... his total bill for 9 people was $89.84. The restaurant added a 20% tip for the large party -- $16.64 -- but Obama felt more needed to be done. He gave an additional$30. In total, B.O. left a 52% tip. So, we gotta ask ...
