Undeniable Warning Signs That Your Relationship Is Abusive

If he/she does any of these things, you need to get out and get help. Women/Men don't plan to enter into abusive relationships. In fact, many /menwomen who've escaped swear to themselves that they will know the signs of an abusive relationship and never get into another one, only to find themselves becoming victims of abuse once again. Sadly, it takes an average of five to seven acts of violence before a woman leaves her abuser. So, why not plan to avoid entering into an abusive relationship in the first place?  1. He/she pushes for quick involvement. He/she comes on strong, claiming, "I've never felt loved like this before by anyone." You get pressured for an exclusive commitment almost immediately.

MAN SNEAKS INTO HOSPITAL TO SLEEP WITH SICK WIFE

A Zimbabwean man is currently under investigation for forcing his way into a female ward at Masvingo Provincial Hospital at 3am to make love to his wife, who was admitted to the hospital. The man, who is a prominent restaurant owner in the city was reported to have argued with the hospital nurses in the middle of the night and insisted he should be allowed to see his wife in the female ward. He eventually got in and went on to have sex with his wife, in the presence of 10 other patients in the ward. The Medical Director of the hospital, Amadeus Shamu, confirmed the incident to iHarare and said that the hospital has since instituted investigations. Shamu said, “It was around 3am that patients who were disturbed by the noise coming from the ecstatic couple reported to the nurses that there was sex in the ward.

DSS DENIES MASSIVE FIND IN DAURA'S HOMES

PRESS RELEASE The attention of the Department of State Services (DSS) has been drawn to the circulation of fake information and videos in which several items were said to have been recovered from the Katsina and Abuja homes of its immediate past Director General, Lawal Daura.  These non-existent items include: 1. Twenty One Billion Naira (N21bn) cash; 400 assorted and sophisticated small arms and light weapons/rifles; and thousands of Permanent Voters Card (PVC) belonging to Niger Republic immigrants. 2.

The security operatives were described as executing a recovery operation at the Katsina home of the former DG, DSS. 3.

So far, no such recovery operations have been undertaken by the EFCC or any other security agency at DSS’ office

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF ESTEEM

Image
1. Change your inner dialogue. To increase your self-esteem improve the way you talk to yourself. Stop the inner dialogue that you are not good enough or that you must repeatedly prove your worth. That causes you to be inauthentic and to over-function. Conversely, if you only feel good enough when people are bending over backward to placate your needs you will suffer from the disappointment of unmet and unrealistic expectations. That will cause you to become angry, demanding and to feel empty. 2. Find balance. If you are not getting your important needs met because you put yourself second to meeting the needs of others, start putting your needs first. When you put yourself first you give yourself the sense of importance you so desperately seek to feel from others. If, on the other hand, you expect others to put you first and do everything for you, you will never develop the all-important empathy necessary for sustaining healthy connections. Find the balance of what you need

RHYTHM OAP PENS EMOTIONAL POEM ON 10TH ANNIVERSARY

                   THANK YOU 937 TIMES  Anonymously we slid in to Jos to stir some fun and soothe nerves, We came to entertain, inform, and educate and we also had to conform,  Silverbird rode on wings of allure and perched on the crest of a nation, Warm embrace encapsulated us and we were awed by the outpouring of Jos love. One year at a time we trudged on with businesses and partnerships, Challenges came in waves but we surmounted them like bees in a hive, In the darkest hours we cast our lights and had the paths lit for all, During sunsoaked days we cooled the tempo with alluring sounds.radio,  On cloudy days we brightened moods with picturesque sights.tv, On cold days and nights we thumped up your pulse with rhythmic hip-hop, Thank you Jos, thank you Plateau. As we breast the tape of the race of a decade in Jos,  Our enthusiasm and zeal won't wane even by a bit,  Like a bicycle we'll keep pedaling to keep the dreams moving, Like a bird we'll keep fl
