I really miss sex and intimacy

      By: Ada
                               

Hi guys. I have been single for 3 months now from a year and a half relationship. At the moment I feel really sad and miss sex and intimacy with...  but generally with someone I love. It's a beautiful feeling. When I think of it or something triggers sexual thoughts I get quite horny and think of my ex (he was absolutely gorgeous and fit) but it makes me really sad. It's automatic for me to have him come to my mind. Because I cannot think of anyone else whom I love and am so attracted too.

Yeh I could sleep with someone but I really don't want to because its not my ex :'( I have tried to masturbate, only once since the break up and I cried because he came to my mind... I have tried to think of a "hot guy" or a hot celebrity but I just CAN'T. I wish I was with someone I loved and had that amazing feeling every time I get horny. Which I realize and makes me really sad :'( that now someone else will be having him... :'( 

Blueberries, not fruit juice, cut type-2 diabetes risk

                         Blueberries and apples
A study in the British Medical Journal suggests that eating more fruit, particularly blueberries, apples and grapes, is linked to a reduced risk of developing type-2 diabetes.  Blueberries cut the risk by 26% compared with 2% for three servings of any whole fruit - but fruit juice did not appear to have the same effect.
The research looked at the diets of more than 187,000 people in the US. But Diabetes UK said the results of the study should be treated with caution. Researchers from the UK, US and Singapore used data from three large studies of nurses and health professionals in the US to examine the link between fruit consumption and the risk of contracting type-2 diabetes.

Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones separate after 13 years

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones confirm they are to separate after 13 years of marriage (Image © PA)

I was so sad when i heard reports that Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas are having a break from their relationship. A spokesperson for the couple told The Daily Mail: “Catherine and Michael are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage. There will be no further comment.”

The movie star couple have been together for 13 years. Earlier in the week The Mirror reported an insider told them "Michael is going to announce the split soon. Catherine is fighting to save the marriage but he's had it." It's been a tough few years for the couple, who haven't been pictured in public together since they attended a charity event in April.

Birthday message from Mercy Johnson Okojie

                
This is a message from Mercy Johnson as she turns a year older today. Read below.. 

Today, I thought of many things I would love to have as birthday gifts and the many dreams I am still pursuing. In all of this I’m not losing sight of the fact that if not for God I might have ended up on the street like the many kids and young adults begging for food and some prostituting to make ends meet.

If we know the circumstances that force some of these people on the street, we would spare a thought for them. I am where I am today purely by the grace of God and the grace of people who believed in me from the word go. Recently, I was at the Boys Reform Home, Oregun, Lagos, the discussion I had with the principal Mr. Kotun and much later with the Special 
Adviser in charge of all remand homes in Lagos set me thinking about the boys and girls on the street. They have dreams too. Can they fulfill those dreams on the street? The answer will likely be no; because I won't be where I am today if I ended up on the street.

There was confusion in Taraba State on Wednesday as the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr.  Haruna Tsokwa and the Majority Leader, Mr. Joseph Albasu, disagreed on who ran the affairs of the state as governor.
While Tsokwa said the Deputy Governor, Alhaji  Alhaji Garba Umar, would  continue to act as governor  until the Assembly deliberated  on the letter by the recuperating Governor Danbaba Suntai seeking to resume duty, Albasu  claimed that Suntai had already taken charge as the state’s Chief Executive.

 
The   Majority Leader told journalists  at the assembly complex in Jalingo that the lawmakers  gave the governor the nod to begin work since he had  fulfilled the provisions of the  1999 Constitution.
Albasu, who said  he was speaking for   all the lawmakers, added that the governor was mentally fit to carry out his duties.
He argued  that the constitution did not  make it mandatory  for a governor to appear before the assembly  on the matter in  question.
The  Majority Leader, also stated that it was against the spirit of   the constitution for the  assembly to debate the letter by Suntai.
 But the Speaker faulted him, saying the governor must  appear before the Assembly  or be prepared to receive  its principal officers  in his office in the Government House,  Jalingo.
 He  said,  “Governor Suntai has transmitted a letter to the Assembly, but his deputy, Alhaji Umar, will continue to act, until this assembly deliberates on  his letter.”
The PUNCH however learnt that the lawmakers might deliberate on the letter on Wednesday (today).
The speaker, who claimed that he was  unaware of the claims by the  Majority Leader, also confirmed earlier reports  that  Suntai’s wife  blocked  him  from seeing   her husband  on Tuesday.
Tsokwa became the speaker when Istifanus Haruna Gbana –an ally of  Suntai, was  removed while Suntai was still  receiving treatment abroad for injuries he sustained last October when a small plane he piloted crashed.
 Findings by The PUNCH on Tuesday showed that apart from the speaker, who led a delegation to the Government House,   Alhaji Umar;  the  Commissioner in charge of the state Police Command  and the Director of State Security Service    were  prevented from   seeing the governor    by Suntai’s  family members and influential associates  on Tuesday.
There were reports on Monday that Umar, who acted as governor during the 10 months  that  Suntai was out of the country, was barred  from seeing the governor on his arrival at the Jalingo Airport. But  a credible source had  told The PUNCH  that the deputy governor  met the governor  in Jalingo even  before he alighted  from the aircraft  that flew him there.
Sources close to the  state government  informed one of our correspondents on Tuesday   that  Umar, Tsokwa and the two security chiefs  were told that Suntai would not  be able to see them  until he had rested for 72 hours.
One of the sources  said, “What we have been told is that the governor will rest for 72 hours in compliance with the instructions of his doctors. This was the explanation they also gave to the D-G, SSS and the CP. They were there to see him, but they were stopped.”
According to another source, “the speaker’s delegation was kept waiting for about one hour and the governor’s wife (Hauwa) later told them that Suntai was resting.”
He added that because of  the development, the state House of Assembly had resolved to sit on Wednesday (today) and debate the governor’s letter.
“What the members have decided is to sit tomorrow (today) and formally invite the governor to address the House. He has been away for about 10 months; so, coming to address them will at least put all the speculations and uncertainties surrounding his health to rest”, the source added.
Asked what Taraba stakeholders considered to be the way forward for the state, a top  Peoples Democratic Party member from the state, said that much depended on the assembly’s decision.
He said, “This situation must be addressed with all the caution that it requires. There is no point rushing things or being unnecessarily preemptive.
“If the House say they are going to invite him, the right thing is to await the outcome of the decision of the House. Let them come up with their decision.”
In Abuja, the Conference of   Nigeria Political Parties and the Inter Party Advisory Council  called on the  state  House  of Assembly to set up a medical panel to examine Suntai’s  state of health.
Both CNPP and IPAC, whose officials spoke separately with the News Agency of Nigeria,said this was in accordance with the provisions of the  1999 Constitution.
The CNPP National Publicity Secretary, Mr Osita Okechukwu, told NAN that the  assembly should set up  the panel immediately “to determine if Suntai is capable or incapable of carrying out his constitutional functions.”
IPAC, through its  chairman,  Mr. Yusuf Tanko,  also said the governor’s health status must be established before any action could be taken.
It said, “It is in the interest of democracy that Suntai’s health situation is established. If he is found incapable, there are constitutional provisions that should be followed, otherwise we will continue to put democracy in danger.’’
In Lagos, human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN),  gave a three-day  ultimatum to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, to   investigate  the   governor’s  letter of intention to resume duty.
Falana, in a  letter to Abubakar, which was obtained by one of  our correspondents, threatened to go to court if his demand  was not met before the expiration of the ultimatum.
The letter reads in part,  “We therefore urge you, in the interest of the people of  Taraba State and Nigeria as a whole,  to use your good offices to cause a detailed investigation to confirm the authenticity of the letter of intention sent by  the Governor of Taraba State.  We believe  that the letter of intention may have been forged by the governor’s handlers.”
Another civil rights lawyer, Mr. Bamidele Aturu, said Suntai’s medical fitness must be ascertained to avert “governance by proxy.”
 Aturu said, “We thank God that he has returned. But it is not all about returning. We want to know if  he is capable of performing the functions of his office. His state of health must be ascertained by a medical team otherwise  Taraba State may be governed by somebody else we don’t know. That will amount to governance by proxy, which is not recognised by the constitution.”
Chairman, Ikeja branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Monday Ubani, who described as worrisome “the secrecy that still surrounds Suntai’s health status”, argued that it was criminal to allow an ill person to govern a state.
Ubani said, “Why are these facts shrouded in  secrecy and why are Nigerians, nay the citizens of his state, denied the opportunity  of hearing from their governor.  It will amount to fraud and ill governor to run the state contrary to the express provision of the constitution.”
Two civil society groups – Say No Campagin and United Action for Democracy – also  criticised the politicisation of  Suntai’s  illness and return by “some people who are against the state.”
The groups,  at a joint press conference in Abuja,  described the hasty tranmission of  the  letter to the state House of Assembly as “the handiwork of political jobbers bent on satisfying selfish interest at the detriment of the state.”
The  Convener of the SNC, Ezenwa Nwagwu, said, “While we sympathise with the Sunatais and the entire people of Taraba State, we however condemn unequivocally, the attempt by some political vultures within and outside the state who are bent on holding the whole state to ransom and making effective governance once again unrealistic.”
The  UAD Director, Jaye Gaskia, likened what was happening in Taraba State to a repeat of  the late President  Umaru Yar’Adua’s saga when he was brought in by his associates to keep running the country even though he was incapable of doing so.
Also,the Conscience Nigeria and Northern Youth Assembly disagreed with those advising  the state House of Assembly to  invoke relevant sections of the  1999 Constitution to make Umar the state  governor.
According to them, the deputy governor cannot be made a substantive governor, given the fact that he was not democratically elected alongside the governor in 2011.
They argued that  Umar  was handpicked by the governor after the impeachment of the former deputy governor, Alhaji Sani Abubakar.
The Executive Director of CN, Mr. Tosin Adeyanju, and Speaker of NYA, Mr Gideon Oband,  who stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, asked the  state   assembly to urgently treat Monday’s letter from the governor  so that he could resume work in earnest.
