Presidency denies plot to sack Jega

Abuja - The Presidency has dismissed rumour of its alleged plan to sack the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, reports Vanguard.

It described the rumoured sack as an outright falsehood and mischievous propaganda, allegedly engineered by some forces within the main opposition, All Progressives Congress (APC).

A top official in the presidency stated that the rumoured sack of Jega is part of the propaganda by the opposition to soil the good name of the President and discredit the government.

He warned those peddling the rumour to desist from the act and allow Jega to do his work and stop heating up the polity.

PDP suffers defections blow in Edo State


Abuja - More than 3 000 members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, among them the Security Chief of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Campaign in the state, have reportedly decamped to the All Progressive Congress (APC).

This publication established that Fred Ikhuebor, the security chief, Sunny Erhengbo, Friday Omokaro, John Ogbomo and Lucky Akalede were among prominent members of the ruling party that decamped to the main opposition.

Ikhuebor said APC was the only party in Nigeria practicing what was obtained in advanced countries.
“The Peoples Democratic Party is a party of liars. There is no truth in them. We will join forces with you sir to deliver Edo State for APC in the Presidential elections and all the other elections,” he said.

He apologised to the state governor, Adams Oshiomhole, for his ignoble role in the Edo State House of Assembly saga of 2014 and the activities within the court premises during the election tribunal sittings in Benin City in 2012.

“I now know the truth and I have decided to come back home, join the APC and play genuine politics,” he said.

Ikhuebor pledged on behalf of his supporters, their unalloyed loyalty to the governor and the APC hierarchy in the state.

Oshiomhole expressed gratitude to all those who had defected to APC
“With the re-injection of these men of timber and calibre, there is no question that APC is now waxing stronger. Let me assure you that Edo State Government will continue to work for the people of this great state even if the cost of crude oil in the world market becomes $1 dollar. As the saying goes, 'if there is a will, there is a way',” he said.

PDP had not commented on the reports.

Why women should embrace masturbation

By: Lady Fey 2015-02-11 10:03

It’s quite unfortunate, in this day and age, that so many women do not feel comfortable masturbating.
The Huffington Post recently reported research showing that most women over the age of 18 have masturbated at least once, but few women do so regularly.

According to Indiana University's National Survey of Sexual Health and Behaviour, only 7.9% of women between the ages of 25 and 29 masturbate two to three times a week.

This is in stark comparison with men, 23.4% of whom masturbate routinely.
This shows that we ladies still feel that there's something not quite right about fondling oneself.
But nothing could be further from the truth.

Your body is going to be with you for the rest of your life and you owe it to yourself to become besties and to be absolutely comfortable with every inch of it, so that any time you not feeling great you can boost your spirits and improve your mood by creating a natural high without bothering anyone else.

As far back as the 60’s the musical Hair took to the stage and full- throatily declared to the world that ‘masturbation can be fun’ and in chorus encouraged fellow grown-ups to ’join the holy orgy Kama Sutra, everyone.’

We say hallelujah to the sentiment! Masturbation has always been a perfectly natural, normal and healthy activity that releases the endorphins dopamine and oxytocin.

These relieve stress, help you relax and fall asleep easier, combat hangovers and make you feel very good about the world in general.

So discard any misgivings you might have and become creative. Brush up on your technique and for variation include a lubricant like Intimate Organics Wild Strawberries and a variety of vibrators like the Fifty Shades of Grey Deep Within vibrator or the Lelo Soraya rabbit vibrator.

What better way to spend a few minutes than taking yourself in hand and maybe a vibrating love egg?
What makes self-gratification so great is that it’s an entirely personal and guilt (and otherwise) free pleasure and a ménage a moi allows you to control your arousal without having to take anyone else’s needs into account. Let’s face it, sometimes it’s a relief to only have to think about yourself.

Even if you’re in a sexually satisfying relationship, the necessity for safe sex often makes going the whole hog a bit of a bind for stressed couples and it's entirely acceptable for one or both partners to choose to indulge in a little ‘me time’ when the fancy takes them.

Knowing your body will also make you more confident in telling your partner where you’d like to be touched when the two of you do get together.

In any case the more sex one has the more sex one wants and being self sufficient is never a bad thing. There are times, like when you’re on your period when you might prefer not to have intercourse and then masturbating can help ease the cramps. Or, if for some reason you've sworn off sex all together for a while, self stimulation will help your libido to remain alive and well and keep your brain fanaticising and concentrating on sex which is always the healthiest state of mind in which to be.

There are, in fact, no negative repercussions to masturbating what so ever.
You can’t catch any STI’s, become pregnant or sick and once you understand exactly how your body works you’ll know how best to pleasure it and then the sky’s the limit as to how many multiple orgasm sessions you can create for yourself with the help of another.

What an awesome way to unwind at the end of each hectic day!

No elections this year - Senator Ojudu


Lagos – Senator Babafemi Ojudu has reportedly alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan is planning to extend his tenure for a two-year term.

According to The Nation, Ojudu said there would be no elections this year, following the postponement of the polls to a later date.

"If anybody thinks there will be election on March 28 and April 11, he is deceiving himself. They are just deceiving us. The body language of some top leaders is that the Federal Government is not willing to organise any election now," Ojudu was quoted as saying.

The Independent National Electoral Committee (INEC) made the announcement over the weekend that the country's general elections had been delayed for six years over national concerns.

Bruce Jenner involved in fatal car crash

2015-02-08 08:42
Los Angeles - Bruce Jenner was reportedly involved in a fatal car crash on Saturday afternoon in Malibu, California.

The 65-year-old former Olympian and star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians didn't appear to be seriously injured in the incident on the Pacific Coast Highway, according to eye witnesses, but the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department has confirmed that at least one person died in the accident.

The Sheriff's department tweeted: "Fatal Traffic Collision: 1212pm. 26000 blk Pacific Coast Hwy at Corral Cyn Malibu PCH Closed both directions."

Three cars and eight people were involved in the incident, with at least one fatality, gossip website TMZ has reported.

What's more, it's been claimed that everyone involved in the crash sustained an injury of some kind.

One eyewitness tweeted: "Bruce Jenner in bad accident on PCH in Malibu. He's aight, but others involved not so much. (sic)"

Meanwhile, Bruce - who is currently going through a gender transition - has been implored to speak about the issue by Zoey Tur, a leader in the LA transgender community.

She said: "We need our role models and there's no greater role model than the world's greatest athlete.

"What's the big deal? Many feel that gender is pitched in the reality show and using this build-up to gain more momentum and get paid to do an interview. This is a civil rights battle. This is not about selling TV shows. This is about saving lives."
