What do you ladies think of waist trainers? Do they really work? Posted: 29 Oct 2014 10:35 AM PDT It looks like the new trendy crase amongst ladies these days in the waist trainer...recently made popular by Mrs West. Ladies are now wearing corsets for hours at a time, some even to bed, to help compress their core, which is supposed to eventually shrink their waist and give them that hourglass figure (like Kim), but is it safe to wear it all the time and does it really work? | ||||

Family in dilemma after triplets’ birth, unable to pay hospital bill Posted: 29 Oct 2014 10:03 AM PDT Aww, feel bad reading this story. A woman who just gave birth to triplets is being held at the hospital over her family's inability for N150k bill. Sun News reports below...
Mrs. Amadu, while narrating her experiences during and after her pregnancy, pointed out that it was a serious battle. "The pregnancy was not business as usual," she began. "At a point, my whole body became too heavy that I could not do even very common things. I could neither sleep well nor walk freely. Also, bending and bathing were tough for me. In fact, it was as if I was carrying excess load." She told Daily Sun, however, that all the problems disappeared immediately after she was delivered of the babies. People kept trooping to the hospital to see the bundles of joy. It was discovered that the triplets were the first to be delivered in the hospital this year. Though she had a safe delivery and her triplets were in sound health, paying her hospital bills and taking care of the triplets have become a daunting task. Following failure of the couple to foot their hospital bill more than two weeks after delivery, the triplets and their mother could not be discharged. Unfortunately, Mrs. Amadu, a National Certificate of Education (NCE) holder and a teacher in a private school earns a very lean salary. Her income and that of her husband are nowhere enough for them to cater for the delivery. "I could not save enough for this delivery because my salary is poor," she said. "I tried to get a job in a public school as a teacher, but none came my way. So I decided to manage with the one that I have right now. My husband too planned as much as he could for the task ahead, but we never knew that things would work out this way. Unfortunately, earlier before my delivery, robbers visited us and carted away some money that my husband had planned to invest in a little business. So, that is why we have found ourselves in this tensed situation." Mrs. Amadu wants financial support from men and women of goodwill who she believes would have a share in the special blessings being brought by the triplets. "At the moment, we cannot pay the hospital bill due to our severe financial constraints. We are therefore calling on men and women of goodwill like Governors Wille Obiano, Rochas Okorocha, Babatunde Raji Fashola, corporate bodies and other groups and individuals to come to our aid so that we can leave the hospital. I am tired of staying here; I want to go home with my babies," she said. Her husband, Mr. Ifeani Amadu, also expressed his feelings. "We have been married for 14 years, and since that time, my wife has been fruitful. In fact, we had closed child bearing after four children. But the pregnancies continued to come. After having five children, we never planned having another, yet the sixth came. As a child of God, I have been feeling so bad to encourage abortion or family planning. But now, we have been forced to do it." He believed that the triplets would serve as a point of contact for others. He described the situation, as a serious one and called on Nigerians to come to the rescue of his family. "I have been thinking about how to get out of this situation. My wife and the triplets have spent close to three weeks in the hospital because I have no money to pay their bill. I am appealing to those who are touched by what my family is going through to assist us financially so that we could pay the hospital bill and cater for the babies too. Any financial assistance should be made to Mr. Ifeani Benjamin Amadu, UBA Account number 2032569487. The family can be reached on 07033284662 and 09035639764.Source: Sunnewsonline.. | ||||

Land a Customer Service job in Nigeria Posted: 29 Oct 2014 08:54 AM PDT If you've got clear communication ability, negotiation and persuasion skills and a positive attitude, working as a Customer Service Representative could be your best career move. With more customer service jobs popping up in the country monthly, landing a customer service role is never a difficult one. See the latest customer service jobs in Nigeria here - http://goo.gl/0zwqoX Entry level Customer Service representatives in Nigeria earn between N60,000 to N200,000 monthly depending on their specific roles, salary negotiation skills and the company's salary structure. To become a Customer Service Executive, you do not need to have any special degree. However, there are numerous professional certification programs in customer service that can aid your career immensely. In addition to your formal qualifications, here are 3 essential qualities you would need to land a good customer service job in Nigeria. 1. Excellent Communication Skills: To land a good customer service job, you must be a very good communicator. The role would always involve interacting with people so you should be good at winning people over when you talk. Communicating well with a customer means you fully understand what he is trying to pass across and you respond in a way that makes more sense to the customer. Developing an effective communication skill is never easy but can be achieved by regular practice. 2. Patience: Every customer service officer needs to be patient always. Because you get to talk to different people everyday, you may have to deal with difficult (and even annoying customers). You therefore need to build some level of self-control and patience. What makes you a good customer service officer is how well you treat even the most frustrating callers. 3. Staying Positive: Every customer would want to talk to someone that would always be positive. They want to talk to someone that understands them and cares about them. Because of the nature of their jobs, customer service operators tend to be negative in their comments and this is a wrong call. It can be very challenging to stay positive but it is always the best. If you think you are good to go, click here to see the latest customer service jobs in nigeria.For other jobs in Nigeria, click here | ||||

Husband caught on camera handing over cash to hitman he hired to kill his bride Posted: 29 Oct 2014 08:07 AM PDT I'm sure most of you are familiar with this case...but let me give you a bit of the background. In 2010, newlywed British national Shrien Dewani and his 28 year old wife Anni Dewani were in South Africa for their honeymoon and while riding in a taxi in Cape Town on Nov. 13th, Anni was shot dead by two men who hijacked the taxi. The men involved in the murder were later caught and they shockingly confessed that the new husband had hired them to attack them in the car and kill his wife. The wealthy businessman who had since left South Africa back to the UK, was extradited back to South Africa to face murder charges. Of course Shrien denied having a hand in his wife's death but today a footage of him handing money to the hitman he allegedly hired to kill his bride, taxi driver, Zola Tongo, who is serving 18 years in prison for his role, was played at his murder trial. The poor woman didn't know her husband was planning to have her murdered. See the photos after the cut..

Dear LIB readers: My sister-in-law is a lesbian, Should I tell my brother? Posted: 29 Oct 2014 05:37 AM PDT From a female LIB reader I found out this past weekend that my brother's wife and mother of his two children is a lesbian and I don't know what to do about this information. Does my brother need to know? She had sex with another lesbian at a friend's house in Parkview (she's a reader of this blog so I want her to know that I know) and I don't know what to do with this information. I've suspected for a long time but my suspicion was only confirmed on Saturday. I don't know what will happen if I tell my brother but she can't continue living a double life, going to church every Sunday and giving advice like Mother Teresa when she lives a dirty, disgusting life. Try it again and see! | ||||

"A successful woman with no husband will not be respected" Mrs Nike Akande Posted: 29 Oct 2014 03:56 AM PDT 2-time Minister of Industry and a respected entrepreneur, Mrs Nike Akande said in a recent interview that if a woman is successful and does not have a husband, people don't respect her. Mrs Akande who has been married to her businessman husband for over 40 years now says it is better to get married no matter how successful you are... "I always tell people that it is better to be married. The younger ones are not patient. Marriage is a journey of give and take. I am not perfect, my husband too is not perfect but we have to bend over to compliment each other. The younger ones are not that patient. It is better to be married. People respect you more when you are married. Unless it is impossible to live with a man because some men are impossible." Continue..Who agrees with her? | ||||

5 Reasons Why You'll Want to Buy the New iPhone From iStore Posted: 29 Oct 2014 03:33 AM PDT Sometimes you just can't wait to hold the latest, greatest, must-have gadget in your hand. You want it, and you want it now, and that's all that matters. The new iPhones are amazing devices, and they have already been hailed by international reviewers as "simply the best smartphones ever". But when it comes to the new iPhone from Apple, waiting just a little longer for the official release is by far the wiser move. Did you know that until late April 2014 the iPhone was not officially available in Nigeria? That's why we all looked for options, like paying a friend or family member to get it abroad, or worse pay massively over the odds when they first come out. What's worse is that for all that money we did not get warranty. Now that has all changed, Apple will be launching the new iPhone sooner than we all expect. Of course, as soon as I hear something from industry sources I will let you know so hold on from rushing out – its worth the wait. Here are five good reasons why you should wait for the official release: 1) Buying your new iPhone from iStore, Ikeja guarantees you the lowest launch price. You won't need to pay a premium for what is already a premium product. 2) You'll get the peace of mind of a full manufacturer's warranty – a full 1 year 3) Buying your iPhone from iStore, Ikeja entitles you to expert technical support and advice, along with free training workshops. 4) One of their most stunning features is FaceTime, which allows you to make video calls over wifi or cellular networks. Did you know that iPhones that come from Dubai don't have FaceTime? 5) You'll have the confidence of knowing that your brand-new iPhone is the real, genuine deal, direct from Apple. So go to www.myistore.com.ng/ to register for your new iPhone now. Because the real deal is the best deal you'll get! You will be glad you waited! | ||||

Photos: Ghanaian singer Lady Jay's manager allegedly assaults her Posted: 29 Oct 2014 01:12 AM PDT Found this on popular page on instagram. She's a Ghanaian artist who was allegedly attacked by her manager. I went through her instagram, but she made no mention of the incident on her page so it's hard to say what really happened but according to reports from Ghana, the lady also known as Nancy was punched and headbutted by her manager following a disagreement over money. She is being treated at a military hospital while the police is said to be looking for the manager who has since gone into hiding. Violence against women should never be tolerated. See more pics after the cut... OK, she addressed it on Twitter |
