S*X AND FEELINGS....THE HARD TRUTH.....

"A Real Man Doesn't Allow His Er****on To Determine The Direction Of His Life"

A man can have s*x with a lady and still don't have any feelings for her.

Men only need space to have s*x, but a woman cannot have s*x without feelings.

A man can travel for eight hours just to have s*x with a female friend and yet, not love her.

S*x makes men act as if they are in love while they are not!

The eight-hour travel sacrifice, a gift bought, hotel paid for and other expenses may seem to be true love BUT they were all for S*X and nothing more.

The foolish thing in this, the majority of women would jamb up inside them and conclude that is the art of true love.

Please remember, S*X is not an act of COMMITMENT!

Men still leave the woman they sleep with in bed and start thinking of the next woman to sleep with.

👉 The satisfaction that comes from s*x dies in a minute!

It's the nature of Lions to go miles to hunt. The same with men.

Listen to me, dear single ladies!

A man who truly loves you will not ask you for s*x during the time of your relationship But ask you what is your plan for your future!

All his concerns are your welfare, how he will build you spiritually, and mentally, in your career and business, and how you will become a better person tomorrow.

He will not just be a fiancé But act like a father, Mentor, Priest, a shepherd, a helper of destiny, and a friend that is ready to help you no matter what in any situation without expecting any instant reward.

Real MAN doesn't allow his Er****on to determine his Direction 😆

That is how to know a MAN who truly and genuinely loves you.

I am not posting this to make anyone guilty or stand as a judge.

Thank you. 🤝

EXCLUSIVE: ARMED ROBBERS INVADE A*O ROCK, EMPTY BUHARI’S CHIEF OF STAFF GAMBARI, ADMIN OFFICER MAIKANO’S RESIDENCES.

Armed men suspected to be robbers invaded the residences of two senior aides to President Muhammadu Buhari inside the precinct of the Presidential Villa, administration officials and security sources have told Peoples Gazette, raising fears that the rising insecurity across the country was drawing closer to the elite than previously estimated.

The incident on May 9 (yesterday) prompted Ibrahim Gambari and Abubakar Maikano, the chief of staff and admin officer, respectively, to abandon their residences, sources said.

“Their houses were robbed and the robbers packed money and other valuable assets from both houses,” an aide to the informed about the robbery told The Gazette.

It was not immediately clear whether or not valuable documents of state interest were carted away by the intruders, but The Gazette heard that the residences were thoroughly ransacked.

“The robbers took away as much as possible from both places,” a security officer that confirmed the incident said. “What is more unfortunate is that no one has been arrested.”

Officials also said Mr. Gambari was given an official residence at the Defense House, but has not been living there, preferring instead to live inside A*o Rock and be close to the president.

Nigeria’s presidential palace just east of the city center has long been seen as highly fortified and far beyond the reach of burglars, bandits and other criminals currently holding the vast swathes of the country to ransom.

But as criminal activities overshadow other matters of national consequences, Mr. Buhari has faced calls to act urgently before it would be too late.

Armed bandits have abducted thousands of citizens since January alone, claiming billions in ransom payments at an alarming rate.

No explanation was immediately rendered for the invasion and why it was not prevented by the ubiquitous contingent of security officers, especially those of the State Security Service, guarding the fortress.

Mr. Gambari did not immediately return a request seeking comments.
A spokesman for the SSS said he would not comment on the matter and a spokeswoman for the police in Abuja abruptly disconnected the call upon hearing The Gazette’s enquiry was about a security breach at the Presidential Villa.

SCOTTISH MUSIC SCHOOL ACCEPTS CRYPTOCURRENCY AS PAYMENT FOR LESSONS.

An Edinburgh music school will begin to accept tuition payments in the form of cryptocurrency.

A Scottish music school will begin accepting cryptocurrency for tuition payments following demand from students, it was announced this week. The Morningside School of Music in Edinburgh said it was responding to suggestions from adult pupils in the school, many of whom now work in the city’s burgeoning fintech sector.

Morningside’s director, Linda Boyd, said the school had previously used cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) to make business purchases and could see the utility in accepting it as a form of payment.

She said, “We sometimes use things like Bitcoin to pay for goods for the school, so we know how fast and easy it is and want our music students to be able to do the same.”

Boyd said the school’s decision to accept cryptocurrency was an example of a small business following the recent example set by large businesses, adding that it simply represented a viable alternative payment method.

“Some larger companies across the world are already doing this, so it’s just a matter of time before smaller businesses like ours start doing the same. It’s just about giving our customers another way of paying and making life easier for them.”

Boyd referenced the capital city’s growing fintech industry, noting that many requests for the school to accept cryptocurrency came from people working in that industry.

“Edinburgh’s got a big fintech industry and many of our pupils work or study in that sector, so for them this is a perfectly natural way to pay,” Boyd said.

The financial technology industry has been on an upward trajectory in Edinburgh since 2019. FinTech Scotland, which operates in conjunction with Edinburgh University, was recently awarded a 22.5 million euro ($30.9 million) grant to establish a Global Open Finance Centre of Excellence in the city, in recognition of its status as a prominent national fintech cluster.

Boyd said cryptocurrency payments for a range of goods and services would become commonplace in the near future.

“Cryptocurrency is here to stay and will eventually become a routine way for people to pay for services of all descriptions,” she said. Kwasi Owusu-Ansah Cointelegraph

JAPAN PLANS TO TRACK VISITOR MOVEMENTS USING GPS.

Japan closed its border for most non-citizen arrivals in March and only allowed foreign residents who were outside of the country when this took place to return this fall.

The 2020 Olympics were rescheduled to take place a year later. The country is now trying to develop a solution that would allow international spectators and the athletes and support crew to enter the country during the games.

The country (Japan) is developing a system aimed at keeping track of travelers from overseas as part of efforts to prevent the further spread of the novel coronavirus within its borders, a senior government official said Sunday.

Takuya Hirai, digital transformation minister, said on a TV program that he’d like to make it mandatory for people entering the country.

Hirai said the government wants to complete the development of the monitoring system in time for the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, due to be held next summer.
Without providing details, he said it will function by using GPS.

Conclusion

It is unclear if Mr. Takuya refers to an ankle bracelet type device that many under house arrest are required to wear, or if this “GPS” tracking is done using a mobile phone (you can always fake your location)?

The country has spent so much money with the 2020 games that they will do whatever is necessary to hold them in less than eight months.

Japan has been mostly spared from the Covid-19 infections and deaths so far. The numbers still are good, although the country is facings the third wave right now.

EGYPTIAN MODEL ARRESTED OVER PHOTO SHOOT AT ANCIENT PYRAMID

Egyptian model Salma El-Shimy was arrested on Monday over a photo session in Saqqara, a prominent archaeological site in the city of Giza. El-Shimy, 26, posed for a collection of photos in a dress modeled on ancient Egyptian clothing. The outfit was deemed "inappropriate" by officials at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

The Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, referred the incident to public prosecutors for investigation, the ministry confirmed in a statement. It quoted Waziri as warning that, "anyone who shows negligence when it comes to antiquities or our unique Egyptian civilization will be punished."

Two of the ministry's employees and four security personnel who work at the location were also referred to prosecutors for administrative investigation, Sabry Farag, director of the Saqqara antiquities site, told CBS News. Farag denied reports that those six individuals were also arrested.

Anyone who wants to carry out a photo or video shoot for commercial purposes at one of Egypt's archaeological sites must obtain a permit from the ministry.

El-Shimy's photographer, 22-year-old Hossam Muhammed, told a local newspaper that he and his subject reached an "agreement" with staff at the site to shoot photos around the Pyramid of Djoser for about 15 minutes. The pyramid dates to the 27th century BC.

Muhammed was also arrested later Monday evening.

El-Shimy referred to herself as Queen "Malban-titi" for the photoshoot, a name combing references to the sweet treat Turkish delight, "Malban," and ancient Egypt's Queen Nefertiti.

The photos went viral and revived a heated debate about the difference between breaking social norms and breaking the law.

One lawyer filed suit, accusing El-Shimy of "the distortion of civilization and insulting the great Pharaonic history." A member of Egypt's parliament called for El-Shimy to face the "severest punishments."

Under Egypt's justice system any individual can file a lawsuit against anyone for any reason, but it's up to the public prosecutor to decide whether there's a valid case and then bring formal charges.

Hyperbole aside, the public prosecutor ordered the release of both El-Shimy and her photographer on Tuesday evening on bail of 500LE each (about $32), pending a full investigation. They are facing formal charges of photography without a permit, according to local news outlets, but no charges related to indecency or anything else stemming from the claims of impropriety.

Mohamed told local press he was surprised by the huge reaction, insisted he did nothing wrong and was just trying to earn a living. He said he was paid 1000LE (about $65) for the shoot, and if he had known it would turn into such a scandal, he would have declined the job.

He also said he believed that if the model involved had a different body type, none of this would have happened.

Despite the outrage from some corners, other Egyptians rallied to defend El-Shimy's right to wear whatever she wants and criticized the tourism ministry's actions, suggesting the prosecution would only bring bad publicity for Egypt.

Just two weeks ago Saqqara was in the news for the landmark archaeological discovery of about 100 sealed coffins containing mummified bodies.

Laurent Gbagbo To Return To Ivory Coast 'Next Month'

The former president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, has been issued an Ivorian passport, enabling him to return home from exile.

He has been living in Belgium since he was acquitted last year of war crimes charges at the International Criminal Court.

Mr Gbagbo, who was given regular and diplomatic passports, says he will return to Ivory Coast this month.

It is not clear what he will do once he gets home, but he has been a vocal critic of President Alassane Ouattara, who was recently elected for a controversial third term, sparking political violence.

Côte d’Ivoire: Ouattara makes ex-president Laurent Gbagbo an offer.

Officially, the president of Côte d’Ivoire, Alassane Ouattara, and his predecessor, Laurent Gbagbo, have no contact with one another. However, behind the scenes, the pair are engaged in back-channel negotiations.

According to our sources, Alassane Ouattara (ADO) has solicited the aid of his Nigerien counterpart, Mahamadou Issoufou, to pass along a message to his predecessor, Laurent Gbagbo: in exchange for the latter’s neutrality through the end of the presidential election on 31 October, the Ivorian president is prepared, once re-elected, to pardon the 20-year prison sentence he received in the case involving the “robbery” of funds from the country’s branch of the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) – Gbagbo maintains his innocence – and allow him to return to Côte d’Ivoire.

For the time being, Gbagbo has not provided a clear response to the offer. However, several sources close to him have said that he has no intention of accepting such an agreement. The ex-president, who is still awaiting the end of the proceedings against him before the International Criminal Court (ICC), had wanted to return to Abidjan prior to the presidential election, for which he filed his candidacy.

Aware that the constitutional court will not give the green light to his presidential bid due to his conviction by the Ivorian courts, he has become heavily involved in forming an alliance with Henri Konan Bédié.

Discreet envoys
Issoufou, one of the rare figures who are in contact with both men – Ouattara being his counterpart and Gbagbo a fellow member of the Socialist International political organisation – is attempting to defuse the situation to prevent a new crisis from emerging in Côte d’Ivoire.

To this end, on 6 September, the day before the ECOWAS Summit in Niamey, the Nigerien and Ivorian heads of state broached the subject. In addition, Issoufou is in touch with several Ivorian Popular Front (FPI) party leaders in Abidjan.

Other envoys have also approached Gbagbo on behalf of Ouattara in recent months. Prime Minister Hamed Bakayoko tried to broker reconciliation by way of Nady Bamba, Gbagbo’s second wife. Before Amadou Gon Coulibaly’s death on 8 July, the former head of government had been working on a potential agreement allowing for the ex-president’s return.

Head of French Football: “When a black guy scores, the entire stadium is on its feet.”

Speaking on BFM Business, French Football Federation President Nöel Le Graët made a poorly executed intervention when he was asked about Neymar’s accusations against Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez, who he claims used racist language against him during Sunday night’s Le Classique match.

“When a black guy scores a goal, the whole stadium is on its feet. This phenomenon of racism in sport, and in football, in particular, does not exist at all or barely exists.”

On Le Classique:

It is a match that the entirety of France has anticipation for. It went badly. The behaviour of the players was not exemplary. We deplore that. It is a shame. They were not able to keep their cool, nor give the show that we were expecting.
