President Jonathan’s 24 Year-Old 1st Son Surfaces
If this ended up being the truth, the press would definitely be agog for a while owing to the claims from this young man.
On his twitter handle, the youngman spilled the beans yesterday when he wrote "my mother was a receptionist in a Port Harcourt hotel (which shall remain undisclosed) when she met Goodluck Jonathan nearly 25 years ago. Their relationship was made private because of the risks it posed to Goodluck's then rising political status. He has decided to disclose this information after recently being informed by his mother, who had just passed away. It is my desire for my father to assume and fulfill his fatherly duties after a lifetime of absence." Ibime Belema-Jonathan said.
Well we don't know how verifiable this could be, but the time we are in is so critical that many would like to score cheap point with the situation. Whatever it is, picture don’t lie, kindly have a a second and probably third look.

The 3 Things You Should Never Say to Your Partner
The 3 Things You Should Never Say to Your Partner
Everyone's entitled to their feelings, whether we agree with them or not.

Why are these all-too-common (and generally innocent) vocalizations so likely to feel insulting? (As it happens, men tend to be guilty of such utterances more often than women.) As I discuss them below, I think you’ll recognize how the receiver (perhaps yourself) is apt to take each of them as critical, unsympathetic, and invalidating—if not downright dismissive. I’ll explain why this is so; suggest what probably impelled you or your partner to say them in the first place; and offer alternative responses that would help settle, rather than inflame, a tense situation.
1. “You shouldn’t feel that way.”
All “shoulds” are judgmental. Invariably, in using such a phrase, you put your partner on the defensive, implicitly attacking them for reacting the way they have, and clearly implying that their feelings are wrong, or at least unjustified. But it can hardly be overemphasized that, in the moment, none of us can help feeling the way we do, your partner included. Based on your past history as a couple, and how your partner interprets your remark, their distress will feel absolutely real, logical, and reasonable to them. So then to tell them not to feel that way may be like waving a red cape at a bull—leaving them offended almost to the point of feeling taunted or mocked.
And no, you may not have had any such intention. Still, your partner's emotional response is altogether valid. And it deserves—it needs to be—empathized with, before it gets questioned. So if you're alarmed by your partner's reaction because it doesn’t square with what—consciously, at least—you meant to communicate, what’s required is that you ask them specifically just what they heard you say. And to do so not judgmentally, but in a way that conveys a compassionate desire to better understand and appreciate what prompted their upset.
In such delicate situations any criticism—on either of your parts—can be hazardous to the relationship. So carefully endeavor to avoid such evaluative speech. Your partner's expression, whether of anger, sadness, anxiety, embarrassment, or dismay, may have made you feel uncomfortable—perhaps leading you to imagine yourself as inadequate, obtuse, rebuffed, or rejected. Consequently, and defensively, you may have felt compelled to try to talk them out of their feelings—which, frankly, is rarely a good thing to do with anybody, at least not right away.
2. “You’re too sensitive.”
This insensitive retort also connotes a demand: “Don’t be so sensitive.” Put somewhat differently, embedded in this remark is another critical “should.” But as a matter of fact, we're all just as sensitive as we are. Given our particular biological blueprint, and the sum total of our past experiences, our present sensitivity has to be what it is. So it’s really foul play for you to disparage your partner for reacting as strongly as they did to your (perceived) provocation. When someone’s harshly judged for their upset, it can feel like an assault on their very identity.
Additionally, for you to declare your partner “too sensitive” is to tell them their feelings are mistaken. And depending on the context—and the presumed authority in your tone—those words might push your partner to feel weak or defective for having reacted in such a manner. So not only is the statement plainly cold and unsympathetic, it also disconfirms or delegitimizes their reality—as though where they’re coming from is completely unwarranted.
Consider, again, that you may be negatively reacting to your partner’s hurt feelings because, even though you may not be consciously aware of it, their expression of sensitivity is making you feel guilty. If you experience their reaction as critical and (however obliquely) their display of distress an attack, you may feel driven to justify yourself.
What’s necessary in such situations is that you grasp your partner’s emotional experience from their (not your) point of view. I regularly tell the people I work with that in dealing with such frustrating situations the first thing to do is seek to compassionately understand a partner’s reality—and if they can’t figure this out on their own, to simply ask what caused the partner to become so upset, in a tone that clearly indicates caring and concern, rather than criticism.
3. “Don’t cry.”
Many, if not most, of us react adversely when a partner begins to cry. We can show awkwardness, embarrassment, annoyance, or even anger when they are so overwhelmed with distressful feelings that their tears begin to flow.
[Consider here that, one, in our culture men learn that it’s important to subdue (or more accurately, suppress) the expression of tender, vulnerable, more “female,” feelings, and, two, genetically speaking—and partly because men generally have higher testosterone levels than women—men simply don’t feel their feelings as intensely as do their mates. So not only is a woman's partner likely to feel (even if secretly) that he’s failed she's so troubled by his words or deeds that she can’t help but weep, but he also typically feels he must have done something really terrible to lead her to that point.]
As with the other unwittingly offensive responses, by reacting to crying by telling a partner to stop, you're essentially sending the message, whether in a critical or compassionate tone, that she (or he) shouldn’t feel this way—certainly not with this much intensity. And by doing so, you're invalidating your partner, even if unintentionally. Obviously, for your partner to experience such disapproval does nothing to help the two of you get back in synchrony. If your partner was crying in the first place because they felt belittled, misunderstood, or not sufficiently cared about, then reacting to those feelings by disconfirming them will only worsen the friction between you.
So here, too, an alternative response is called for, one that requires you to emotionally identify with your partner's hurt feelings. If the two of you are to get beyond your differences or misunderstandings, your partner will probably need to clarify to you how what you said made them feel bad. (You're likely feeling just as vulnerable as your partner in this scenario, so hopefully they can articulate their feelings in a way that doesn't make you feel put down, which would also extend the conflict.)
To close:
- If you're on the receiving end of these comments, I hope you’ll share these thoughts—tactfully—with your partner. Your goal—a crucial one in all relationships—isn’t to degrade or denigrate your partner but to get them to be more sensitive and responsive to your feelings (and how to avoid unknowingly slipping into the habit of triggering them).
- And if you’re the one who has said these things, take heed: If you’re able to avoid the counter-productive reactions I’ve described, then going forward you can be instrumental in co-creating a much safer, more secure and trusting, relationship.
Messi picks Di Maria, Ronaldo backs Ramos - Ballon d’Or captains votes revealed
Voted for by journalists, international captains and coaches, Ronaldo was not everyone's top choice, however, with several of his fellow players plumping for other stars.
Of course, Ronaldo could not vote for himself in his capacity as Portugal captain but rooted for someone close to him, Sergio Ramos, as his first choice, with Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema completing a full card of Real Madrid team-mates.
Similarly, Messi went for one of his sparring partners - though not one from Barcelona. Angel Di Maria helped Argentina reach the World Cup final and got his fellow Rosario native's vote, with Blaugrana stars Andres Iniesta and Javier Mascherano his other two picks.
All three of England skipper Wayne Rooney's choices were Real Madrid players, Cristiano Ronaldo coming first, Toni Kroos and Gareth Bale completing the set.
Neither Ronaldo nor Messi met Bastian Schweinsteiger's approval, though. The new Germany skipper, who replaced Philipp Lahm in the summer, voted for three team-mates from both his country and Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm and Thomas Muller the 30-year-old's top three.
A mere 0.04 per cent separated Messi and Neuer in second and third, but Italy captain Gigi Buffon's top three turned out to be the final order.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic may have spent much of the 2014-15 season thus far injured and did not have the chance to light up the World Cup as Sweden did not qualify, but the PSG star made Robin van Persie's top three, coming second, with Robben and Neuer either side of him.
Neuer was not the only popular goalkeeper: Uruguay's Diego Godin had former Atletico Madrid Thibaut Courtois team-mate second on his list. Another key man in Diego Simeone's side's unlikely Liga victory, Diego Costa, was first and Robben third.

Micah has broken records as the first man with the biggest natural hips and bum at the moment. The bootylicious man who is only 20 years old is an upcoming R&B singer and has become increasingly popular on Instagram due to his hips.
Although there have been a lot of controversy but Micah claims his hips and booty is all natural and this has since remained a mystery to many. With statistics at 41-Chest, 37- waist and 63-hips, Kim K, Nicki Minaj, Toolz and other bootylicious ladies have got nothing on HIM.

Every Couple's Key to Peace
Differences of opinion don't need to be problems, if you follow this guideline.
In relationships, understanding—not agreement—is the key.
In employing the word understanding here, I’m not referring to some impersonal, coldly objective comprehension of your partner's—or child’s, parent’s, friend’s, or co-worker’s—viewpoint. Nor is there anything critical or judgmental about it. Rather, it’s used to signify an empathic, open-heartedappreciation of where your significant other is coming from. And such a humane understanding can be present totally independent of your own bias or perspective. It allows the other’s position, however contrary to your own, to co-exist with it—if not quite serenely, at least peacefully and amicably.
However paradoxical it may seem, two opposing viewpoints can be made compatible—despite their undeniable discordance. In situations where actual agreement is unattainable, understanding—andaccepting—your inevitable differences can be just about as effective in protecting the harmony so vital to the relationship’s happiness and contentment. And such amity or good will is far more achievable. In fact, it’s precisely through such understanding that so-called “irreconcilable differences” can be reconciled. For once you’ve cultivated the right mindset, your empathic understanding of the other’s differing viewpoints will be one of respect, validation, and support.
Yes, even support—in the sense that this understanding represents a sincere, receptive acknowledgment of your partner’s contrasting position. But it can hardly be overemphasized that such an understanding is possible only if you can successfully fit yourself into the other’s shoes. You need to accurately identify just how they might, legitimately, have arrived at their differing perspective—given, that is, their particular biological make-up, formal and informal learning environment, family conditioning (or indoctrination), and unique experiences.
Although your integrity may not permit you to concur with their position, there’s no reason you can’t recognize its subjective validity—from theirown equally sincere, genuine, and authentic viewpoint. This is what’s crucial, for probably nothing is more powerful in your relationship than the desire both of you experience (however unconsciously) to feel sympathetically understood. It’s universal: We all want this reassurance, and unless you’re so evolved that you’re beyond caring how others might perceive your thoughts and feelings, to whatever degree, you need it as well.
Virtually all of us depend on some sort of external confirmation to feel truly comfortable in the world.
But what’s key to grasp here is that as long as you’re not actively refuting (or grimacing at) your partner’s rival point of view, you’re simply admitting to them that you don’t—or can’t—think and feel as they do. In refusing to argue over something that you two can't possibly agree on, you’re acting in a way that protects the all-important friendship and rapport between you. And candidly discussing your differences—which are unavoidable if only because there are just so many things to differ on—hardly needs to compromise your connection. In fact, if you’re only willing to talk about what’s consensual between the two of you, you’ll end up with a pretty superficial, and frankly dishonest, relationship.
Any relationship in which disagreements never occur—or are never given voice to—is a co-dependent, dysfunctional one. It’s a union that operates artificially, by means of exclusion, and at some point it will leave both of you feeling frustrated and misunderstood.
It’s therefore essential to keep in mind that in any close relationship, disagreements are inevitable—and that this isn’t such a bad thing. What makes such dissent so frequently cause distress is that, subliminally, each of us may feel emotionally threatened by it. It’s almost as though your partner’s differing with your position implies their disapproval of you. Just compare how you felt as a child when your parents frowned and wagged their heads when you said something they didn’t like.
As illogical as it may seem, disagreements can be experienced as mini-rejections. Which is why they're apt to be argued about repeatedly—and mindlessly. And when such conflicts become heated, and each of you has regressed to the point that you absolutely have to be right, neither of you may feel you have the “luxury” of validating the other’s viewpoint. In the moment, it can feel there’s way too much at stake to do anything that conciliatory—such accommodation might convey forfeiture, or defeat.
Sadly, when you reach this irrational, highly charged point of no return, each of you becomes more intimately connected to your point of view than to each other. You’ve become so identified with your position that you’ve practically become it. Moreover, if your now-antagonist refuses to confirm the subjective legitimacy of your viewpoint, you’re probably, deep down, going to experience a more general sense of alienation from—or even abandonment by—that person.
In such a disorganized state of mind and emotion, you’ll likely be compelled to mitigate such upsetting feelings by categorically dismissing—or totally invalidating—their perspective. Although there’s virtually no chance you’ll be aware of it, in such conflicts this counterproductive tit-for-tat isn’t coming from the logical adult part of you but the beleaguered, threatened child part.
Still, if even just one of you can voice an empathic understanding of the other’s position, such a vicious cycle can be aborted. And if both of you are willing to see the other’s viewpoint as their equally relative, but just as legitimate, truth—and if you can directly communicate this sympathetic understanding to each other—you can both experience the external confirmation and support so vital to achieving a happy, contented relationship.
Of course, if you could—truthfully—agree with one another on every matter, that would be ideal. But, frankly, that’s impossible, which is why it’s so crucial that both of you make the effort to genuinely appreciate—and open-heartedly accept—the other’s position. That way, a conflict in your viewpoint need not lead to a conflict in your relationship.

15 Things Women Should Never Apologize For Wanting
A long time ago, let's be honest, most likely when I was in high school, I came across an article in Glamour magazine. It was called "12 Things Every Women Deserves In Life," and the list was a back-of-book recurring feature.
Those 12 or so things they believed women should have, including "having a statement bag even if the statement is not having a statement bag" and "a truly excellent profile picture," have stuck with me through the years and the article, ripped out and yellowing, is still pinned to my bulletin board.
Times have changed and so I figured I'd come full-circle and write a list of more things women deserve in life. Because life gets a little complicated sometimes, and we shouldn't forget to put ourselves first.
Without further ado, here's a few things that we as women deserve, no questions asked:
1. To wear a swimsuit that YOU love, regardless of whether you're apple-shaped, pear-shaped, or some form of quadrilateral.
2. A core group of friends to turn to even if they live a few miles away.
3. Something to be passionate about, like singing or animals or helping other humans.
4. To actually want to frolic in a field of flowers, at least once.
5. To want exactly as much as sex as we want — even if that's none at all.
6. A companion (or two) in the shape of another human or furry creature.
7. The ability to be girly or ultra tomboy and still be taken seriously as a person.
8. To wear that outfit you spend a third of your paycheck putting together.
9. A kick-ass semester in school (or month at work).
10. Dry-shampoo on demand and nail polish that doesn't smudge.
11. The ability to find the perfect dress for that one occasion.
12. A free pass to brag on Facebook without being judged.
13. A space — anywhere — where you can just disconnect from the world.
14. One night a month (at least) of dancing until the sun comes up.
15. A truly excellent Insta.
What would you add to the list?

18 Qualities Every Alpha Woman Should Look For In A #Boyfriend
The Alpha Female is a strong, majestic female. She can often be intimidating to those around her and isn’t afraid to ask for what she wants. She’s killing it in her career and has a solid group of friends to rely on.
There’s nothing quite as brilliant as a woman with confidence and ambition. She isn’t scared to put people in their place should they do her dirty, nor is she willing to put up with anyone else’s sh*t. She simply doesn’t have the time.
A strong Alpha Woman needs a man who’s her equal, her partner, her greatest supporter. By definition, you’d think that she should want an Alpha Male, but he can provide only passion, not steadiness. She also doesn’t get along with Beta Males because they’re too weak to keep her or pique her interest.
So, who’s right for the mighty Alpha Female? What kind of man can keep her grounded while still challenging her to grow and be the best she can?
May I introduce Type Z: a man who’s equal parts solid and charismatic. He’s her rock, her foundation. He’s not intimidated by her successes nor would he allow her to walk all over him. He’s true to himself and true to her.
An Alpha Woman knows what she needs to have a sturdy partnership with a man who’ll be her ally, her confidant and her best friend.
These are 18 qualities every Alpha Female should look for in a boyfriend:
1. He’s someone who can tease you and also be teased.
He’d never be malicious or say something to hurt your feelings, but he can give a joke just as well as you can.
You know each other well enough to know when you’ve crossed the line, but your shared love of sarcasm and your knowledge of each other’s weak spots make teasing fun — never threatening.
2. He challenges you.
He’s as strong as you are, but more subdued. He’ll push you to be the best you can be and challenge every decision you make — but you’ll love him for it.
Life with him is always exciting and never ceases to surprise you.
3. He doesn’t get jealous.
He’s confident enough to know that the mild flirtations you have at a cocktail party and your unyielding friendship with your work husband are never a threat to your relationship.
He knows you’re his and never feels the need to question you because your relationship was built on a foundation of trust.
4. He isn’t waiting on you, he has his own plans.
He has his own life and respects that you have yours. He’s never going to give you a hard time about wanting to hit the club with your girls.
Instead, he encourages you to spend time with them whenever you want to because he knows whom you’re coming home to.
5. He doesn’t air your dirty laundry.
He has your full trust, and you can tell each other anything. You’re not afraid your embarrassing stories are going to come back to you when you meet his family or when you meet his friends for drinks.
What’s said between the two of you stays between the two of you. Well, except for your BFF; she knows everything from what he’s got going on downstairs to his latest promotion at work.
6. He knows how to deal with your bad moods.
He’s a source of comfort for you. You feel at ease with him. When you’re angry, he somehow knows how to deal with you with more grace than anyone else.
Depending on how you’re feeling, angsty and emotional or overwhelmed and exhausted, he lets you have your space and knows when to hold you in his arms.
7. When he apologizes, he really means it.
If he’s done something wrong, he’ll always be man enough to admit it and tell you he’s sorry. He’s not arrogant or pigheaded — he won’t do something sh*tty and turn the tables on you, and he won’t hurt your feelings and make you feel stupid for being upset.
He’s a man, not a boy — and a man always knows when he needs to apologize.
8. He’s moving at the same speed you are.
Whether in his current career or his lofty life goals, he always seems to be moving at the same speed you are. He knows what he wants and respects what you want. He’s never pushy or demoralizing — just steadily moving from one goal to the next with a very bright future in sight.
9. He doesn’t belittle you, but he doesn’t put you on pedestal either.
He’s slow and steady, but never a doormat. He doesn’t idolize you but doesn’t make you feel small. He treats you like the fierce woman you are. He also likes to spoil you, but would never give you everything you want.
He’ll always keep you guessing. He’s your partner, not your provider. He’s there because he wants you, not because he needs you.
10. He is someone who teaches, but never lectures.
The best partnerships are the ones in which both people can learn from each other. He’s a well of knowledge and loves to provide you with new information and insights on things he’s passionate about.
You learn from him in many ways, but you never feel like he’s pushing you or judging you. You both teach other lessons that make you better people and better citizens of the world.
11. He makes you laugh.
If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything. -Marilyn Monroe
If he doesn’t make you laugh, you’ll soon grow tired of him. Laughter is one of the most important qualities in a partner. Your shared love of sarcasm and his sharp wit complement each other perfectly.
12. He’ll call you out when you need to be called out.
He’ll never fail to tell you how it is. He’s not scared to hurt your feelings, and he doesn’t tiptoe around you, either. If you’re acting like a raging b*tch or are completely talking out of your ass, you can bet your ass he’ll call you out on it.
He doesn’t let you get away with stupid bullsh*t, not because he doesn’t care about you, but because he doesn’t want to be jerked around by those Alpha Female ways.
13. He wants to be the wind beneath your wings.
He’s a stoic man: strong, independent and sure of himself. He prefers to let you lead, but he’s always there to fully support you. He has no problem being the background; he’s there to be your strongest supporter and your steadfast foundation. He loves that you’re popular because you’re a person he’s very proud of.
14. He isn’t the life of the party, but is always there if you need to be carried home.
He lets you be the social butterfly you naturally are. He doesn’t mind your vibrancy or doesn’t feel intimidated by your fiery, dynamic personality; instead, he embraces it. He’s also a protector.
He’ll pour you another drink, but take it away when you’ve had too much. He always takes care of you.
15. His opinions aren’t irrational, they’re backed up.
He reads a whole lot of books and stays informed on current events so he can have well-rounded opinions with factual bases. Being educated and sound in his understanding of the world around him is very important to him.
16. He knows when to drop it and when to address it.
He’ll stand his ground when he knows he is right. Though he’ll argue with you, he’s not unwilling to concede if it means ending a fight. You’re strong-willed, and he knows when a difference in opinion or a questionable action is worth discussing or whether it’s better left alone.
17. He has dreams as big as yours.
He’s as career-focused as you are. You both genuinely care about each other’s endeavors. He doesn’t sit back and watch you achieve your dreams because he has passions and goals of his own. You two are a true power couple.
18. He’s a great listener, but also expects to be heard.
He knows when to talk and he knows when to keep his mouth shut. He quietly and patiently listens to everything you have to say, but he expects you to do the same for him.
