Why No Man Wants To Marry You

 

Are you are still single while your friends are busy getting married every Saturday? Hmm.. I know its quite disturbing. Don't worry, this short write-up will help you know where you're going wrong. And if you do something about it, you will get so many suitors as soon as possible. Read on..

12 Reasons No Man Wants To Marry You:

1. You're not appreciative. He sacrifices for you, buys you expensive things, yet you don't appreciate? Very soon he will get tired of you.

2. You ask for too much. There are some things you need to do on your own. Show him you can take care of the family and the kids; when he's out.

3. You are not submissive. Are you the disrespectful and disobedient type? I don't care if you are President's daughter.. The man is always the head of the house.. The earlier you give him some respect, the better.

4. You are looking for Mr Perfect. Let me ask you.. Are you perfect? I'm Sure you're not. Nobody is perfect. Not me, not you. Get used to it..

5. You don't have a job. Don't depend on a man all the time..Ladies should learn to be independent.. it is not pride But Self Respect. Get a handwork dear.

6. You look desperate. Your parents and friends are asking you frustrating questions about marriage, and you are so sick of those questions so you'll do anything to get the next available guy to marry you. You need a man so badly. Well, let me tell you, the more desperate you are, the less attractive men find you.

7. You are bad with kids. You hate kids? Sorry for you! A woman’s beauty is captured in her ability to nurture.

8. You pay too little attention to your appearance. You wear excessive make-up, your dressing is too awful, you you don't have a good hygiene? Hmm.. Im shaking my head for you oh..

9 You're not supportive. A man wants a woman who helps boost his ego, listens to him and encourages him, just like his mother used to do. So, if you cant support him, forget that engagement ring.

10. You don't get along with his family. If you are not easy going with his family? Hmm.. Marrying him is a dream that may never come through oh.

11. You are bad in the bedroom. Each time he talks about sex, you act like he has just committed a crime, because you are a virgin or you don’t want him to think you're loose. It only make him wonder how boring you are in bed. Please please please, I'm not saying you should have sex, all I'm saying is you should give him a hint that you can satisfy him sexually either practically or by insinuations.

12. You're always mean. You're too boring, You hardly smile.. You hardly play. You're just too difficult.

Take it or leave it, this is what men hate in women. What you do with this information is entirely up to you. Have fun.

How do I Get a Girl to Like me?

 
Guys at some point in their lives always ask this question and for good reason. Sometimes, women are just so hard to figure out and unless you have lots of experience with them, you wont know how to get their attention. If you're currently facing this problem, Lucky you! help has come!

Here are 11 Sure Ways to Get A Girl To Like You:


1. Have your own life: Girls with a strong sense of purpose and self-worth don't like guys who have no lives or who cling to them. focus on filling your time with your own friendships, interests, hobbies, and goals. This also gives her a chance to do something with you without it becoming a date.

 2. Keep your body in good shape.
Women hate guys who look out of shape. Not only is it unattractive, but it also makes you seem like you can’t protect them. No matter how independent a woman may seem, she always wants a man that she feels secure with. I'm not saying you should look like one of these heavy weight champions, but you should try to keep your body looking tight. Visit the gym once or twice a week. Keep fit. It makes you look sexier.

3. Speak to her: This is a scary step, but It's the only way you can get her attention. Now that you’ve groomed yourself and boosted your confidence, you're free to approach her and get her attention. If this is your first time talking to her, then don’t over talk her and don’t be too quiet.
Here is my reason: When you talk too much, it will look as if you don’t want to hear what she has to say. And when you are too quiet, it will look as if you don’t have much personality. This guide will help you: Tips for Starting and Engaging in a Conversation With a Girl you Like.

4. Listen Attentively: This is very important because it will show that you care. When having a conversation with her, look her in the eyes, nod and give facial expressions that match the mood. Listen actively, because it will help you to gather important information about the woman of your dreams.

5. Get Her Phone Number: After having a good conversation, try asking for her phone number, so that the two of you can continue chatting.
You can also ask for her email address, Facebook name, BB pin, etc..


6. Compliment Her: Try to make the compliment unique. So, try to find something about her that stands out. Don't make your compliments excessive. Avoid telling her she is beautiful too often because it will quickly lose its meaning. You can focus on pointing out things about her personality – this will show that you are paying attention to what’s inside and not just on the outside.


7. Impress her: One of the best ways for how to make her like you is to impress her. Don’t boast too much, but give small piece of achievements you’ve accomplished or future goals that may be impressive. Don’t forget to be confident oh.


8. Touch Her: Avoid touching sensual areas like the breasts, buttocks and thighs. Focus on her hands, arms and shoulders. Don't do this the very first day you meet her, but as conversations continue on and you meet with her a couple of times, you can advance to the next level.

9. Test Her: To see if she is starting to like you back, you can try hinting around how she feels about you. Say small jokes that have a double meaning and see if she smiles or gives a total look of disagreement. This should be done after a mutual attraction is felt. Please be light and playful when you make jokes and suggestions.


10. Take things easy: Nice girls take a while to develop certain feelings about a guy, so give her time to adjust to you and to see if she wants to be with you. Make her feel relaxed and feel like she is in control. She will remember this if and when the two of you get into a relationship, and she will Love more you for it.

11. Ask Her on a Date:
By now, you should know if she is interested in you or not. She is likely waiting for you to ask her, so do it! Invite her to dinner, or anywhere that you think she would enjoy. This is the right time to get more intimate with your conversations, but not too Intimate oh..

How To Text Your Crush

 
So here are some things to consider when texting your crush so you don’t scare him or her off.

1. Don’t Be Wordy

If you had just met someone and they were sending you essays via text, wouldn’t it come off as a bit needy? Save the long convos for when you are on a date and just keep the texts simple, short and to the point.

Try to just keep things short but use real words instead of pictures so you don’t shorten it too much. Remember, when he’s not around you, he doesn’t necessarily have time to stop and read long drawn out messages and sending them will be very annoying to him. Just tell him you are excited to see him and set a time to get together. Think of texting more like using a pager, keep the words to a minimum.

2. Don’t Share Useless Stuff
One thing girls do that really annoys guys is texting them every time they have a mood change. Do you really think he wants to hear, “oh my god I’m so pissed!” or “my boss is annoying me so much!” ? No he doesn’t. Only share positive things with him and don’t text him all day dear. It will scare him off. You need to have other interests besides texting him.

Try not to send him a picture of every meal you eat or every funny thing that happens to you during your day. Be present when you’re not with him and realize it’s good to have some technological separation.

3. Share Uplifting Tidbits

Texting, just like talking in person, is sharing energy. So share things that will make his day better (in moderation). You can share an inspiring quote or just wish him a great day. It’s ok to be sweet but don’t smother him with sappy texts so they no longer surprise him ok?

Sharing a photo with a positive quote is a nice thing to do or sharing a picture of the two of you. Look at your texts as an opportunity to be kind, to share something that might really help him or something that will help the two of you get to know each other better.

If you find something cool that you want to do with him, that’s an uplifting thing that he would get excited about. If you have a million things to do, don’t send him a list of everything you’re doing. He really doesn’t need to know that and it will only take you that much longer to get everything done.

4. Don’t Complain

This is a big black hole that you don’t want to get sucked into. Instead of complaining about the people or things in your day, follow the rule that Thumper told us in the Disney movie ‘Bambi.’ If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Just think of complaining as whining and draining his energy. No one wants to get negative text messages. It’s a real buzz kill!

One of guys’ biggest pet peeves is having a girl that feels like nothing is good enough. If you always focus on what goes wrong in your day, it just makes a negative vibe. If you’re always talking about who made you mad or why you didn’t deserve something, people just aren’t going to want to be around you. Be someone that always puts a smile on other people’s faces and it will improve all your relationships!

5. Be Direct

That’s right, just say how you feel. If you want to invite him to something, just do it. If you want to know why he hasn’t contacted you, just ask him. Don’t be in the dark if you’re wondering something, just speak up. Relationships shouldn’t be shrouded in mystery and if he’s keeping you in the dark, kick his disrespectful tail to the curb!

6. Don’t Blow Up His Phone

Whatever you do, do not text him again and again without getting a response. Unless it’s a real emergency of course. Just think about if he did this to you, it looks like the other person is crazy even though it may just be that they had too much coffee right?

7. Switch it Up and Call

It’s respectful to pick up the phone and make a call to your crush sometimes. It’s actually quite healthy too. If we aren’t comfortable actually talking, we are going to have a lot of work to do in the relationship. The more you can call, the better, leave texting for times when you’re in work or school and can’t call but keep it to a minimum.

8. Ask Questions
Another rule to live by is that you should ask him questions so you don’t just talk about yourself all the time. Don’t be all about yourself or he will get bored with you very quickly. Show interest in how he is feeling and what he is doing. Get to know him with questions but not too many. Leave the real convo for your face to face interactions.

9. Be Flirty

Yes you can go ahead and flirt. There are no rules that say you shouldn’t and if you’re trying to see if he likes you back, there’s no shame in using your game girl!

10. Make A Plan To Meet In Person

What is the point of texting anyway? Is it a security blanket for us so we don’t feel alone? No! It’s just used to make plans so you can see each other that much sooner. Don’t let texting become a crutch for you and call instead of texting whenever you can!

11. Stay Positive
Try not to have any serious conversations via text because it can destroy a good relationship. There are so many ways to misconstrue and misread text messages that if you really respect someone, you will tell them all important information in person or over the phone if you can’t be in person. Texts should be positive and short.

12. Don’t Trash Talk People

I’ve seen this happen all too often when people either don’t realize they are on a group text or they accidentally text the wrong person. Guard your words about others no matter what because screenshots can ruin relationships and accidentally hitting send to the wrong person could be very damaging to someone’s self esteem. Try your best to just never trash talk people and you’ll avoid being gossipy in text messages as well.

My final word of advice is don’t be reactive in your texts and think about what you’re going to say. Don’t rush your conversations because in the art of conversations, words are valuable and they shape the direction of our relationships so choose them wisely and speak from the heart.

Gtbank In Trouble Ordered To Pay customer's Stolen 5 Billion!

 
A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Apo, Abuja, on Monday ordered Guaranty Trust Bank Plc to refund N5.3bn illegally withdrawn from the account of one its customers, Dr. Ted Edwards. Justice Valentine Ashi, in his judgment, ordered that the N5.3bn should attract 10 per cent interest from Monday, when judgment was delivered, till the time the money was paid back to the owner.
The court also ordered that the money should attract another 21 per cent interest from December 12, 2014 when GTB allowed the illegal withdrawal, until the fund was eventually paid back to Edwards.


The judge, while reviewing the case in his judgment, held that the bank did not have any defence to its action of the withdrawal of the total sum of N5,240,516,186.21 from the customer’s account and thereby ordered the bank to pay the money to the owner through his Zenith Bank Plc account.
Edward, a lawyer of Edwards and Partners Law Firm, had initiated the suit, FCT/HC/CV/939/2015, in January 2015 following the alleged illegal withdrawal of the money on December 12, 2014.

The money was paid into the plaintiff’s law firm’s account with the GTB on January 2, 2014 by the Accountant-General of the Federation, Jonah Otunla.
The money was said to be for the settlement of a judgment got by his clients, Impecca Services Limited and His Royal Highness, Eze Ezekwo, against the Association of Local Government of Nigeria, as cost of consultancy services they rendered to the 774 local governments. But in his judgment on Monday, Justice Ashi struck out the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Accountant General of the Federation, Minister of State for Finance, Anaocha Local Government Area, and the Incorporated Trustees of ALGON from the suit as defendants on the grounds that they were not necessary parties.

The plaintiff stated, in the suit’s originating processes, that shortly after the money was paid into his account on behalf of his clients, GTB made some disbursements from the account as directed, but that he was only informed on December 12 by an official of the bank that the Central Bank of Nigeria had withdrawn the N5.3bn. He said that when he enquired from the bank why it made deduction from his account without his consent, he said GTB only insisted that the withdrawal was made in obedience to CBN directive, which it could not disobey.

Justice Ashi held in his judgment that GTB betrayed the banker-customer relationship between it and the plaintiff. The judge held that it was wrong for GTB to have made withdrawal from the customer’s account without the customer’s knowledge and consent. The judge held that GTB’s claim that it was helpless and that the withdrawal was at the instance of CBN was not tenable.

General Muhammadu Buhari has submitted to the security agencies for screening 40 names being considered for ministerial appointments .

According to Daily Post, the names were submitted by the president-elect about a week ago.


The Department of State Services, the Directorate of Military Intelligence and the National Intelligence Agency are the security agencies screening the potential ministers.

The names listed by the president-elect were mostly former PDP men who had defected to the APC, leading people to question where is the change.
The names being screened include: 
Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, the former Osun state governor and ousted PDP national secretary; 
Chief Bode Mustapha, the former PDP national auditor; an All Progressives Congress stalwart from Ogun state; 
Engineer Segun Oni, the former Ekiti state governor and APC deputy national chairman (South West).

Others are Dr Kayode Fayemi, the immediate past governor of Ekiti state; Dr. Abba Ruma, a former minister for agriculture and water resources; and Chief Kanu Agabi, a former minister of justice.

The list continues with Donald Duke, a former governor of Cross River state; Governor Raji Fashola of Lagos state; and Yinka Folashade Oredola, a pharmacist from Ondo state.

Others on the list are Rotimi Akeredolu, a former gubernatorial candidate in Ondo state; Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state; Engineer Funsho Kupolokun, a former group managing director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation; Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso of Kano state; and Bisola Adegbenro, a senator-elect from Ogun state.

Also on the list are Isaiah Danjuma, the son of General TY Danjuma from Taraba state; Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation; Kehinde Lawanson, a former executive director of First Bank; and Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN), former minister of justice.

The rest of the names will be published when security agencies confirm the names to newsmen.

Buhari ran on the platform of change but critics have asked whether working with the old guard even with a new system can guarantee change?

Tips for Starting and Engaging in a Conversation With a Girl you Like

 
This short write-up will effectively guide you on things you should and should not say when starting and engaging in a conversation with a girl you like.. Enjoy.

• Ask questions about her likes, dislikes and hobbies.
• Find out her opinions on some current events.
• Talk about her childhood.
• Bring up your own life stories that are meaningful, interesting and/or funny.
• Focus on talking about things the two of you have in common.


Avoid Talking About:
Politics, Money, Religion, Relationships, Family issues, Sex and Health problems.
These topics can mistakenly lead you into saying something that is offensive and will ruin all of your chances of getting a date. Try to keep things light for now.


Questions you could ask her:
• What books do you like to read?
• What do you do for fun?
• What music do you listen to?
• Do you play sports?
• What movies do you like to watch?
• Do you have siblings?
• Where did you grow up?
• Have you ever traveled abroad or plan to?
• What was your first job, your best job or your worst job?
• What do you want to be in future?
• If you won $2million, what would you do with it?
• If you could only own 5 items in life, what would those items be?
• Would you rather be rich, famous or influential?
• If you were only allowed to eat five foods and drinks on an outing, what would they be? (You can use this question to help you choose what restaurants to take her to).
• What is the best time of your life?
• Could you live life without internet and/or technology?
• Where is the best place you would like to travel to?
• Choose five people from today or in history that you would love to have an intimate conversation with.
• Who is your favorite artist or actress and why?
• If you could be any animal, which one would you be and why?
• What would you do if you had the power to become invisible?
• If your house caught fire, what would you attempt to grab?

Im not saying you should ask all these questions, but once you stick to these questions, they will surely open the doorway to some good topics that the two of you can talk about. You can try to think up your own too, but don't make them too intimate.
