* ZARFUND STRATEGY *
Strategy 2 x 2 Upgrade Profit
THIS IS BASED ON EVERYONE JUST GETTING 2 participants (if you have more than 2 you can help your downline by placing these people under them)
What we are saying is this; In zarfund each member is required to have only two people placed under him or her. you can never have more than two people under you as downlines. Those two people under you also need to have two people placed under them as-well, it continues this way. We call it the power of two.
For example: Peter joined zarfund and he invited two people, John and James. These new investors will pay Peter 23usd N13000 each. By so doing, Peter has recovered his 12.8k which he used to join zarfund plus extra 12.8k making it total of 25.6k. Also, by having 2 people placed under him Peter qualifies to move up to level two.
Peter's downlines James and John also need two have two people placed under them. This is how everybody in the team keep having two people placed under them. This leads to the progress of every member of a team.
That's how I made up to 800k in 2 months with Zarfund.
Team Work Made it Possible
Making rapid progress in Zarfund is very difficult without team work. I was able to get to level 4 and make N800k because i was in a team, not just a team but a team a serious team. As you can see in the strategy, you can't place more than two people under you. thus, to make progress in zarfund team work is required.
In our team, new investors are placed under the latest members of the team who are yet to have two people under them.
For instance, two investors, Peter and Tunde joined our team today. Then by tomorrow Obi, Musa, Bola and Emeka join our team also. These 4 new investors will be placed under Peter and John in twos. When others come in, they will be placed under the 4 latest members respectively in twos.
In Zarfund You Don't Worry About Bringing in People!
As stated earlier, your progress in zarfund doesn't depend on your individual efforts in inviting people, rather it depends on the collective effort of the team. If some few members of a team are unable to invite people their progress in zarfund is still guaranteed because other members are doing the invitation. Also most people in our team are bloggers and some are experienced internet marketers so they know how to do their job well. Therefore, not having someone to invite shouldn't stop you from joining zarfund. The era of networking schemes that requires you to bring the hold of your village before you can progress has gone.

I Have Thrown My Green Card Away – Wole Soyinka
Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka who had earlier promised to tear his green card, and leave the US if Donald Trump won the presidential elections, said on Thursday he has fulfilled his pledge.
The 82-year-old told AFP on the sidelines of an education conference at the University of Johannesburg,
“I have already done it, I have disengaged (from the United States). I have done what I said I would do,”
“I had a horror of what is to come with Trump… I threw away the (green) card, and I have relocated, and I’m back to where I have always been” — meaning his homeland Nigeria.
The professor also said he would not discourage others from applying for a green card.

just two days after the conclusion of the governorship election in Ondo state, several policemen have taken to the streets to protest non-payment of their allowances. 26,000 security personnel were deployed to Ondo state to ensure violence-free elections and sources say the Policemen are yet to be paid the allowances due to them for their part in the elections.
Some residents of Ondo say that the policemen took to the streets and beat up journalist as well as people who tried to take photographs of their protest. There has been no official response from the Nigerian Police Force about the incident.
Is It Time For Manchester United To Sack Jose Mourinho?
Manchester United assistant manager, Rui Faria has thrown his support behind Jose Mourinho following United’s 1-1 draw with West Ham on Sunday. With 20 points from 13 games, Mourinho has made the worst start to a campaign by any United manager, including the much maligned David Moyes.
Mourinho now holds the unenviable record of four consecutive league matches without a win for the first time since February 1990 and has drawn four consecutive league games for the first time since 1989.He compounded his woes by getting sent to the stands by Referee Jon Moss after kicking a bottle in frustration as Pogba received a yellow card for diving.
Faria said after yesterday’s match, “It’s a big club and we are used to big clubs – we also know how to take a team to win, We know that we will do it”
Addressing Mourinho’s sending off, the assistant manager added, “I think everyone saw his frustration in the situation where it should be a free-kick for us.
“And there’s the issue about the yellow card for Paul, which means he’ll be suspended, so there is maybe reasons to express some frustration.”
Despite a run of poor Premier League results, Faria insists United’s title chances are still alive, “We are looking to the team and trying to get the best results. We knew the job was not an easy job and we fight to change the things and it’s what we’ll keep doing.
“We believe in the players, we believe in the team and we believe things will change. And what we are chasing will arrive for sure”
Mourinho experienced failure for the first time as a manager last season after he was sacked from Chelsea in a season when everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. Having lost nine of their sixteen fixtures and lying in sixteenth place, Mourinho was shown the door,

Hilary Clinton's lead in the popular vote surpasses 2 million
Hilary Clinton's lead in the popular vote surpasses 2 million
Read the report by www.politico.com below...
Despite Clinton’s lead in the popular vote, it was Trump who prevailed on Election Day by clinching 270 Electoral College votes.
Trump told New York Times reporters Tuesday he would “rather do the popular vote” and was “never a fan of the Electoral College until now.”
“The popular vote would have been a lot easier, but it’s a whole different campaign. I would have been in California, I would have been in Texas, Florida and New York, and we wouldn’t have gone anywhere else,” Trump said. “Which is, I mean I’d rather do the popular vote.”
“But I think the popular vote would have been easier in a true sense because you’d go to a few places,” he added. “I think that’s the genius of the Electoral College. I was never a fan of the Electoral College until now.”
Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump in the popular vote surpassed 2 million Wednesday morning, according to Dave Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. Clinton has garnered 64,223,958 votes, compared to Trump’s 62,206,395 votes.
By Nov. 15, the Democratic nominee’s advantage had crossed the 1-million mark and ballooned to 1.5 million by Sunday.

“But I think the popular vote would have been easier in a true sense because you’d go to a few places,” he added. “I think that’s the genius of the Electoral College. I was never a fan of the Electoral College until now.”
Trump's comments echo the sentiments he expressed a week after his historic election, when he tweeted: “The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!”
That, however, was an about-face from what he tweeted after President Barack Obama’s reelection against Mitt Romney in 2012.
“The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy,” Trump declared then.
For good measure, Trump boasted last week, “If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily.”
California Sen. Barbara Boxer, a Democratic lawmaker who supported Clinton, introduced legislation last week to abolish the Electoral College. The long-shot bid is not expected to clear the GOP-controlled Congress, though.
And at least a half-dozen electors, those who will formally cast votes for Trump and Clinton on Dec. 19, are pushing to block Trump from winning a majority of votes.
While the effort is unlikely to succeed — even if it did, the House of Representatives could simply choose to elect Trump — so-called faithless electors who buck the will of the voters could spur more widespread calls for reform.
Al Gore's lead over George W. Bush in the famously close 2000 election was about 500,000 — which at the time was the largest advantage in the popular vote for a candidate who lost the Electoral College vote in the presidential election.

The mistery behind "Black Friday"
As Thanksgiving approaches, you might be gearing up to stuff yourself with turkey and dressing, spend some time with the family and watch a little football. Then again, if you’re a die-hard bargain shopper, turkey is the farthest thing from your mind. That’s because you’re too busy making a plan of attack for the biggest shopping day of the year.
Each year, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, consumers flock to Walmart, Best Buy, Toys “R” Us and other stores in hopes of scoring the best shopping deals of the year. The most fanatical Black Friday extremists skip Thanksgiving dinner altogether and camp out in parking lots for days or even weeks. Frays and brawls break out in stores as strangers fight over the last marked down Hatchimal or deeply discounted Samsung HDTV, with police officers called in for crowd control. Appallingly, a worker at a big store was even trampled to death one Black Friday as throngs of shoppers pushed their way into the store when the doors
As crazy as it all sounds, millions of shoppers across the U.S. participate in this strange ritual every year. In fact, during the 2015 Black Friday weekend (Thursday to Sunday), 151 million Americans either took the trip stores or shopped online, according to the National Retail Federation.
So what’s the story behind this enchanted shopping day and how did it become known as “Black Friday”?
The Surprising Origins of Black Friday
The concept of retailers throwing post–Turkey Day sales started long before the day was actually coined “Black Friday.” In an effort to kick off the holiday shopping season with a bang and attract hordes of shoppers, stores have promoted major deals the day after Thanksgiving for decades. Although many people mistakenly believe the name “Black Friday” is simply an accounting reference – as in retailers are moving from “in the red” to “in the black” by boosting profits – this is not how the name was born.
The term was actually coined by overworked Philadelphia police officers. In the 1950s, crowds of shoppers and visitors flooded the City of Brotherly Love the day after Thanksgiving. Not only did Philadelphia stores tout major sales and the unveiling of holiday decorations on this special day, but the city also hosted the Army/Navy football game on Saturday of the same weekend. As a result, traffic cops were required to work 12-hour shifts to deal with the throngs of drivers and pedestrians, and they were not allowed to take the day off. Over time, the annoyed officers started to refer to this dreaded workday as “Black Friday.”
The term quickly gained popularity and spread to store clerks who used “Black Friday” to describe the long lines and general chaos they had to deal with in the department stores. In 1961, concerned that the negative-sounding name would deter shoppers from coming into the city, store owners and city officials pushed to change the name to “Big Friday.” To their dismay, the more positive sounding term never caught on with consumers. Before long, Philly retailers decided to embrace the name “Black Friday,” even plastering the catchphrase on newspaper ads and other sales promotions.
The Phrase Goes National
The term “Black Friday” remained Philadelphia’s little inside joke for a few decades. Although it spread to a few nearby cities, such as Trenton, New Jersey, the phrase stayed relatively close to home for quite a few years. It wasn’t until the 1980s that people outside of Philly started using the term. Finally, in the mid-1990s, “Black Friday” swept the nation and started to appear in retail ads and promotions across the United States.
The Evolution of Black Friday
Somewhere along the way, Black Friday made the giant leap from congested streets and crowded stores to fevered shoppers fist-fighting over parking spaces and pepper-spraying each other as they tussle over the last Tickle Me Elmo. When did Black Friday become the frenzied, over-the-top shopping event it is today?
That would be in the 2000s, when Black Friday was officially designated the biggest shopping day of the year. Until then, that title had gone to the Saturday before Christmas. Yet as more and more retailers started touting “can’t miss” post-Thanksgiving sales and the Black Friday discounts grew deeper and deeper, American consumers could no longer resist the pull of this magical shopping day.
Today, Black Friday is becoming an increasingly lengthy event. Following the lead of several other retailers, Walmart decided to make Black Friday a five-day affair in 2014. Cyber Monday deals are now available at both Walmart and Macy's from 12.01 am Thanksgiving day.

Obama says he may comment as citizen on Trump's presidency
US President Barack Obama has said he may speak out after leaving office if he feels his successor Donald Trump is threatening core American values.
By convention, former presidents tend to leave the political fray and avoid commenting on their successors.
Mr Obama said he would give Mr Trump time to outline his vision but added that, as a private citizen, he might speak out on certain issues.
Mr Trump spent the weekend interviewing candidates for top jobs in his cabinet.
"I want to be respectful of the office and give the president-elect an opportunity to put forward his platform and his arguments without somebody popping off," Mr Obama said at a forum in Lima, Peru
But, he added, if an issue "goes to core questions about our values and our ideals, and if I think that it's necessary or helpful for me to defend those ideals, then I'll examine it when it comes".
The president described himself as an "American citizen who cares deeply about our country".
Speaking at a news conference to mark the end of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit, Mr Obama reiterated that he would extend to Mr Trump's incoming administration the same professional courtesy shown to his team by his predecessor George W Bush.
Mr Bush has refrained since leaving office from commenting on Mr Obama's presidency. "I don't think it does any good," he told CNN in 2013, after Mr Obama was elected for a second time.
"It's a hard job. He's got plenty on his agenda. It's difficult. A former president doesn't need to make it any harder. Other presidents have taken different decisions; that's mine."
Mr Bush's stance falls in line with tradition. US presidents tend to avoid criticising predecessors or successors. Mr Obama was clear that he would not weigh in on Mr Trump's decisions while he was still in office.
But his suggestion that, as a private citizen, he would seek to defend "core values" comes amid mounting concern among civil rights groups and others about Mr Trump's political appointments.
The president-elect's chief strategist, Steve Bannon, was previously the head of Breitbart, a website accused of promoting racism and anti-Semitism. And Mr Trump's national security adviser, Gen Michael Flynn, has previously likened Islam to a "cancer" spreading through the US.
Mr Trump's nominee for attorney general, Jeff Sessions, lost the chance to become a federal judge in 1986 because of allegedly racist remarks.
Mr Obama said he believed the intense responsibility of the presidency would force Mr Trump to moderate some of the more extreme policy positions he had advocated during his campaign.
On Sunday the incoming president indicated he had made more selections after a weekend of interviews at his golf resort in New Jersey, saying: "We really had some great meetings, and you'll be hearing about them soon."
Mr Trump has confirmed he is considering retired Marine Corps Gen James Mattis for the role of defence secretary, calling him "very impressive" in a tweet. He also met former critic Mitt Romney, who is now being considered for secretary of state.
Mr Trump also says that his wife, Melania, and their 10-year-old son Barron will not move into the White House straight away. They would move "very soon, right after he finishes school", he said. The US school year runs from late August or early September until late May or June.
'Smarter message'
Mr Obama, meanwhile, said his first priority after leaving office was to take his wife, Michelle, on holiday, and "get some rest, spend time with my girls and do some writing, do some thinking".
Asked about the failure of the Democratic party's campaign under Hillary Clinton, Mr Obama criticised the "micro-targeting" of "particular, discrete groups", arguing there should have been an effort to reach out to the entire country.
Mrs Clinton has been criticised for focusing her energy on certain demographics, including Latinos and women, who were believed to support her, at the expense of a more inclusive campaign.
That approach "is not going to win you the broad mandate that you need", Mr Obama said, adding that the party needed a "smarter message".
Reality will force Trump to Adjust his Approach to Some of his Campaign Rhetoric – President Obama
LIMA, PERU – NOVEMBER 20: U.S. President Barack Obama speaks during a news conference at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2016 CEO Summit on November 20, 2016 in Lima, Peru.
Outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama has said that he can not guarantee that president-elect Donald Trump will not pursue some of his campaign rhetoric when sworn-in as president, adding that reality will force Trump to adjust how he will approach the issues.
Obama made the remark in Lima at his final international news conference as U.S. president after attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum.
“I can’t guarantee that the president-elect won’t pursue some of the positions that he’s taken. But what I can guarantee is that reality will force him to adjust how he approaches many of these issues; that’s just the way this office (U.S. presidency) works.”
The U.S. president, who had been assuring world leaders about a Trump’s presidency until now, however, asked them to adopt a “wait and see” approach about the president-elect.
“What I expect from world leaders is the same thing that I have said in a number of press conferences, which is the president-elect now has to put together a team.
He has to put forward specifics about how he intends to govern and he hasn’t had the full opportunity to do that yet.
So people should take a wait-and-see approach in how much his policy proposal, once in the White House once he’s sworn-in, matches up with some of the rhetoric of his campaign.
My simple point is that you can’t assume that the language of campaigning matches up with the specifics of governing, legislation, regulations and foreign policy.
I can’t be sure very well, I think like everyone else, we will have to wait and see,” Obama said.
Obama, however, assured that the reality would force Trump to adjust his stance on issues.
“As I have said before, once you are in the Oval Office, once you begin interacting with world leaders, once you see the complexities of the issues, that has a way of shaping your thinking.
Also in some cases, it has a way of magnifying your thinking. This is because, you recognise the solemn responsibility not only to the American people but some responsibilities that America has as the largest most powerful country in the world,” he added.
The outgoing president also said that Trump’s campaign rhetorics were not as easy to fulfil as he thought.
According to him, if those issues were that simple, they would have been done by previous presidents before Trump was even elected.
“I’ve said before, if these issues were easy, that ensuring prosperity, jobs, security, good foreign relations with other countries, if all that was simple, then it would have been done by every previous president. I’m a very pretty good presidential historian and I’ve looked at my 43 predecessors. I’ve seen that for all of them, even the best ones, that you end up confronting the realities and I think that is a good thing, that is interesting,” Obama said.
On the chance of the Democrats in producing future presidents, Obama expressed optimism, saying that former Democratic nominee Hillary Clintonwon the popular vote.
He, however, said that Democratic Party’s message needed to speak to a broad number of Americans and not limited to a segment adding, that was the secret of his victories.
Obama’s tenure as the 44th president of the U.S. will end on January 20, 2017, when Trump will be sworn-in as the 45th president.
"Safe flight back to Mexico" - Racist couple tell elderly Hispanic waitress in New York
Donald Trump's Presidency has encouraged more racists to emerge out of their shell. A racist couple recently attempted to humiliate an Hispanic waitress, who was serving them in a Barbeque joint. The waitress, an older woman originally from Mexico, who's been with the joint - Dallas BBQ in NYC for 25 years, saw the message (pictured above) on the credit card receipt of the couple, who spoke loudly and disrespectfully about immigrants.

President-Elect Donald Trump Makes First Set Of Appointments
President-elect, Donald Trump has announced his first set of appointments, months before he resumes office as President. The appointment of his Chief of
Staff and Chief strategist ended weeks of speculation over who Trump was likely to pick.
Trump named the Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), Reince Priebus as his Chief of staff and Stephen Bannon as his Chief strategist and senior counselor.
The President elect of the United States of America, Donald Trump has said his administration will begin the deportation of 3 million people immediately he resumes office.
Trump has always been vocal about his plan to deport undocumented immigrants and in his first interview since winning the election, he repeated his plans.
Donald Trump told 60 minutes; “What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records — gang members, drug dealers — we have a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million. We’re getting them out of our country or we’re going to incarcerate. But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.

ARTICLE: The Tongue or D*** ? (18+)
This is the second article from my Saygee’s Sex Series. The first one I got quite a good review and so I got encouraged to write more. Topic for today’s write-up is Tongue or Dick?
This is for both girls and guys. Before penetration, foreplay is a major part of sex and if you are a man and still don’t know this, am sure you are single and not having sex regularly. From the female point of view, foreplay is what they enjoy or even look forward to rather than penetration. Statistics show that 80% of women don’t cum or reach orgasm by penetration alone. To guys, before you put your dick in the pussy a level of foreplay (nothing less than 15mins) is needed. I am sure guys are like 15mins? Kilode (in Yung Ace voice), but trust me yes, 15mins minimum you can go for as long as 60mins foreplay before penetration.
When I say foreplay I don’t mean kissing for 2mins, sucking breast for 2mins, fingering for 30secs and that’s it, NO, that’s capital NO. I am talking taking your time to savor and devour her body bit by bit and of course foreplay is not complete without the guys tongue.
Some experts say that the tongue will ever make a woman cum faster than the dick. The tongue at work , work wonders from the earlobes, to the cheek down to the lips both upper and lower lips and biting it gently the tongue interlocking with your partners tongue (French kissing), the tongue can move down to the neck region down to the breast and then fast movement on each nipple not leaving any nipple out of the action. The tongue rolling down to the navel and down to the thigh and the inner thigh down to the legs and the toes all these done gently until you partner says “harder” and the caressing back up from the leg to the thigh and then back to the inner thigh and then to the V area were you work your magic even without your finger in her, all these and we are past 30mins. You can now spend the next 20-30min eating away at the V area from the outer V to the upper V to the inner V, licking, flapping, flubbing, tickling and slobbing the tongue does it all before you know it she has cum and gone 12times even before you bring out the D. all these will be more sexy with the guy’s clothes on (it’s a Hugh turn on the females say)
That’s that about the tongue.
Well I guess we all know what the dick does and the popular saying that it can’t be panadol if it’s not panadol and nothing can be like the D not even a vibrator or dildo but the tongue has its own powers.
With all the knowledge for the guys, I throw this open to the girls which do you think you prefer…THE TONGUE or THE DICK??
Drop you comment Girls!!!

UNILAG EXPLAINS REASONS FOR SUSPENSION OF ULSU LEADERS
The University of Lagos Management has replied newspaper reports on the subject: UNILAG suspends ULSU leaders that no student was punished on the ground of solely engaging in the said protest.
The students were duly investigated for specific acts of social misconduct which they carried out. They were individually investigated for instances of wrongdoing in breach of the Social Misconduct and Penalties Regulations of the University of Lagos. Specific acts of misconduct during the protest for which they were punished include the following:
– Locking the University gates
– Locking staff inside the Student Affairs Office
– Harassing Lecturers and disrupting lectures and/or examination
– Assaulting and damaging the vehicle of a visitor and a student
– Invading the premises of UNILAG Ventures and carting away products of the company.
– Soliciting for funds externally under false pretence in the name of the University.
The students were also found culpable of other activities capable of damaging the reputation of the university and impinging on the integrity of the University.
We wish to correct the view that the student leadership were punished across board for the protest. Contrary to that report, only those who were found culpable of specific acts of misconduct were penalised.
Furthermore the University Senate considered the mitigating plea for a review of the penalties made by the Disciplinary Panel to Senate and commuted the penalties of those for expulsion to rustication.
No student will be unjustly punished at the University of Lagos where we are raising leaders IN DEED AND IN TRUTH.
We trust that our position will be noted and reflected.

– Invading the premises of UNILAG Ventures and carting away products of the company.
– Soliciting for funds externally under false pretence in the name of the University.
The students were also found culpable of other activities capable of damaging the reputation of the university and impinging on the integrity of the University.
We wish to correct the view that the student leadership were punished across board for the protest. Contrary to that report, only those who were found culpable of specific acts of misconduct were penalised.
Furthermore the University Senate considered the mitigating plea for a review of the penalties made by the Disciplinary Panel to Senate and commuted the penalties of those for expulsion to rustication.
No student will be unjustly punished at the University of Lagos where we are raising leaders IN DEED AND IN TRUTH.
We trust that our position will be noted and reflected.

Learn how to manage your setbacks
We all know Steve Jobs was kicked out of Apple company which he had co-founded in 1985. From what we see in the many years that follow he made a remarkable come back.
If Bill Clinton hadn’t been kicked out of his governorship office by voters in 1980, he wouldn’t have ever had a chance to aim for the post of presidency.
When you aim to achieve its only normal that you fail along the line. Some people get it right the first time with beginners luck or whatever strategy they might have employed but that’s never the case with everyone. Even Richard Branson took on Coca-Cola with virgin cola and failed.
Most companies and great business entrepreneurs face failure at certain stages in their lives and careers but the key is turning that failure into an advantage. Things don’t always happen at once, it’s always a messy process with a series of trials and errors.
Here’s a list of three basic steps that would allow you maximize your setbacks and turn them into a win. Follow this three steps and you’ll no doubt score a ‘win’ from each and every fail.
STEP ONE: FAIL BEHIND THE SCENES
This approach is very effective when trying to pitch a sales or business proposal to a client. Practice at home in front of a mirror or record yourself with a video camera. Make all your failures behind close doors. This way you’ll be sure to succeed when the real show begins.
Video yourself, watch it over and over again, notice your mistakes and weaknesses, make notes on how to improve yourself and then make corrections. Some things are better tested out by actually doing than sitting at a desk and thinking about them.
STEP TWO: GET A HONEST SPOTTER
We are amazingly good and convincing at telling ourselves we don’t suck even when we do. In psychology this term is called ‘cognitive dissonance’, meaning its hard for you to keep to apparently contradicting ideas in mind at the same time. For instance, “I’m a talented and respected footballer” and “I’m the reason my team lost this match”. Your brain jettisons one of these beliefs, usually the second one.
The way to avoid this trap is to get an honest spotter. A trusted friend who you can rely on to give you genuine, fair criticism by accessing your gut feelings. Someone that would tell u the truth.
In the gym a spotter helps you push beyond your normal limits. In life, your spotter is someone who helps you side-step the screw-ups your mind won’t admit you might be making.
STEP THREE: DON’T TRAIL YOUR LOSSES
In a game of poker when you’re screwed up or being screwed up its very reckless to go ‘on tilt'(taking reckless risks in attempt to undo the loss).
It can be very hard to fix some mistakes but pretty easy to make them much worse. It’s knowing when to cut your losses that would save you from falling harder. “you should abandon an idea or project when the scale of the ‘sunk cost’ exceeds the benefits of reaching your intended end”, says David Pardy, head of policy and research at the Institute of leadership and management.
If everything you’ve put in is starting to outweigh what you’re going to get in return, it’s time to back out. When things are going wrong the first thing is to calm down. Don’t compound bad decisions. Know when to let go.
If you find your girlfriend needy and irritating and you’re convinced that proposing to her would solve the situation and make things better, my friend you’ve just gone on tilt. Cut and run at the right time and you’ll save yourself a whole lot of hassle.
Leicester City players each get BMW smart car worth about £105K
Leicester City is still basking the glow of their unprecedented title triumph last season and the rewards are still rolling in. Members of the title winning side were each rewarded with a BMW i8 worth exactly £104990.
A fleet of 19 protonic blue BMW I8s - which cost a total of £2million were seen outside the club's King Power Stadium.
The cars are understood to be gifts from chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha to the players following their stunning Premier League title victory back in May. The billionaire businessman had promised each member of the playing squad a standard car worth about £30K following their title triumph but he apparently changed his mind and decided to spoil them with these smart cars. Nice!
Zinedine Zidane to get over 100% salary increase after leading Real Madrid to Champions League title
When Zinedine Zidane replaced Rafael Benitez as first coach of Real Madrid, he was the lowest paid top manager in European football. His €2.7million-a-year salary was barely an improvement on what he earned as B-team manager. Following a successful first season during which he won the Champions League, he has agreed improved contract terms with the club.
Zidane’s new contract will seem him earn €5.5m a season which translates to £90,000-a-week.
Zidane guided Real Madrid to their second Champions League in the last three years in May when they beat Atletico Madrid in Milan.

ULSU LEADERS RUSTICATED
This development is coming after about 4 months since the last protest led by the union.
While some of the leaders have been rusticated for four (4) semesters, some have been rusticated for two (2) semesters.
As at the time of filing this report, some of the leaders have received their letters while others have been contacted by their departments
It should be noted that some of the ULSU leaders earlier took a legal approach but the case was adjourned to Oct 13 due to the judicial vacation.
It should be also recalled that the management of the University of Lagos have earlier suspended the activities of the Students’ Union after a protest by the students on April 6 and 7

OLABODESAYGEE’S TOP 5 FASHION ITEMS ON THE FIRST CHOICE CAMPUS IN NIGERIA
Some say fashion is defined by what you wear, while others define fashion as how you wear what you wear. But my definition of fashion is how you carry yourself when you wear what you wear. Whatever the definition of fashion maybe there are things that are trendy, some are trending and some trended. Here are 5 fashion items that are trending and trendy in the University of First Choice University of Lagos.
1.
Bowler Hat – This fashion item has been in existence from way back but was brought back by fashion pundits and fashionistas. The bowler hat comes in different shapes, sizes and colors and can go with almost every outfit ranging from the normal hippie wear to vintage shirts to cooperate wear and even Agbada.
2.
Nike Roshe – This is a fashion item owned by 60% of the elite category of students of the first choice campus in Nigeria. The Roshe comes in different colors and designs. And can be worn with hippie wear, sporty wear and some even wear with natives.
3.
Gladiator Sandals– This is an item worn by both male and female. It is quite popular on campus. Though very difficult to wear (as I have one with 8buckles) and it takes forever to put on but it does the job well. Can be worn to class, for events or to the cinemas. A short gown for the ladies or a colored short for the guys with blazers or normal v-neck top.
4.
Vintage Shirts – 80% of students of the 1st choice campus in Nigeria has 1 or more vintage shirts in his or her wardrobe. Girls rock it well with crazy jeans or a long vintage with bumshorts and gladiators with a bowler hat will do the trick when going clubbing for the ladies. The guys wear it with almost anything.
5.
Lulu x Shako bags -These are easy to strap bags indigenously made by a student in the school. The bag is owned by a very large population of the school and can be carried anywhere by anybody with anything. The bags has different deigns and colors.
How an average Unilag guy or girl dresses, you see Odega’s vintage shirts rocked with shorts, Lt Riff’s gladiators, FTD’s bowler hats and carrying the Lulu x Shako bag.
NOTE: And that is that about that but the list won’t be complete if I don’t add the return of CRAZY JEANS on the fashion scene of the university of choice and also this tiny little thing girls wear round their necks, it makes some of them cute but makes some look like…hmm…Lemme reserve my comment, it is called THE CHOKER and 90% of the girls of this campus have it.

A POLITICAL GLADIATOR ...THE JAGABAN OF NIGERIA: CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO MARK TINUBU'S 64TH BIRTHDAY
The former Lagos state governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is a man that stand out in today's politics and also a pillar in Yorubaland and NIGERIA as a whole.
It's indeed a great privilege to witness your ways of dangling and doing things in the light of moving Nigeria to the top ahead other countries.
I heartily felicitate with Jagaban(Bola Ahmed) as he clocks 64 today.
He is a great politician who takes well-calculated political steps. Also, a good case study when one talks about political resilience and doggedness and no wonder he now ranks among the leader of this great country.
I LaRide join millions of Nigerians and supporters across the world to rejoice with him in this auspicious occasion.
You have proved to be a true hero of democrocy, a light that cannot be concealed!
Asiwaju "a formidable political force"
