5 Ways To Know If Your Ex Wants You Back

Most of us have had the experience of losing the person we love and then having that person popping back up on our doorstep.  Timing is everything in love, and sometimes, the first time wasn’t the right time.  The Relationship Guide has offered five ways to know that your ex might want you back.  The list is interesting and might help you to know if the person is serious and whether or not you could be walking right into a trap.

 Here’s how you might be able to know if your ex is trying to get back in your good graces:

 

• 1) They call you first:  The person initiating the contact usually has a reason for doing so.  Maybe he or she is bored, or things aren’t working out on their end.  Regardless, they now see you as someone they want to speak with, when they didn’t feel that way a month ago.

• 2) They want to stay on the phone with you forever:  If someone rushes off the phone, they’ve got other things to do.  If they stay on the phone, they are trying to do YOU.

• 3) They explain how they’ve changed:  If there was a reason things didn’t work out the first time, they might be tempted to explain why things will be different this time around.  If the person was abusive, they might tell you how they’ve found Jesus, went back to school or are now in rehab.  Usually, none of this matters, since the core of a person’s soul doesn’t usually change that much over time.

• 4) They want to see you in person and physically touch you:  If a person wants to be with you again, talking on the phone won’t be enough. Eventually, they will want to see and touch you.  Don’t do it unless you are sure that you might want to be with them as well, and expect that this situation is going to be different.

• 5) They start asking a lot of questions to find out if you’re dating someone else:  Most people don’t want to end up barking up the wrong tree.  Asking questions is a good way to find out if there is someone else in the picture.

 Can’t tell you if you should get back with your ex or not.  It’s up to you.  But at least knowing what you’re getting yourself into can be a good way to avoid disaster.

In Nigeria, The Bigger You Steal The Smaller The Punishment!

In a country like Nigeria where people steal billions and  get a pat in the back, Adepoju Jamiu, a 23-year-old man was yesterday sentenced to three years imprisonment for stealing a China BlackBerry phone worth N17,000.

He was sentenced by  the Ikare Magistrate’s Court, Ondo state for stealing the phone from one Suleiman Asimiyi.

This offence, according to the police prosecutor, Aigbojie Amileomen, violates Section 383(1) volume one, of criminal laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.
Amileomen reportedly said the accused committed the offence in November 2012 at about 5.30 a.m. at Olukare Central Mosque, Inu Odi, Okela, Ikare.

Without any fuss, the accused pleaded guilty as charged and was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison without an option of fine by the Chief Magistrate, Sunday Adeniyan, who presided over the case.

In is glaring that in Nigeria today the bigger you steal, the smaller the punishment and vice visa.

Riliwanu Balogan was found hanged at Glen Parva Young Offender’s Institute in Leicester in 2011, a day after his 21st birthday.

The inquest heard he had told staff he had nothing to live for. The hearing coincided with the release of a report which said the centre had improved but there were still problems.
The jury inquest, which finished Thursday, January 24, 2013, heard Mr Balogan moved to the UK when he was seven-years-old and spent much of his childhood in institutions. He was transferred to Glen Parva, which holds men aged 18 to 21, in April 2011 to await deportation.

The morning he was found hanged on 8 May 2011 he was assessed by staff after cutting himself.
Paul Mayfield, a senior prison officer, said at the hearing: “He told me he had nothing to live for. He said ‘I’ll be deported back to Nigeria. I’ve got no-one back there. I’ll be living in the slums.”

He was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary after staff tried to revive him but died a week later.

The hearing also heard he had a string of previous convictions and that at the end of April he struggled to speak to a nurse because he was sobbing so hard.
An interim report by the Inspectorate of Prisons showed the institute was “making sufficient progress” since its last inspection in 2009.

Inspectors, who visited after Mr Balogan’s death, said they were pleased to see improvements in the management of vulnerable prisoners and that suicide and self-harm was “generally well-managed”. But concerns were raised over dirty accommodation and the limited amount of time detainees spent outside their cells.
On Thursday, the jury recorded a verdict of misadventure

In pictures: Beyonce Buys $5.9 Million Mansion For Mother

It may be a mansion fit for a queen of pop, but Beyonce Knowles is rumoured to be splashing out $5.9 million on a palatial Houston home for her mother Tina.

The 31-year-old singer, who was brought up in the Texan city, is reported to be close to finalising a deal on the six bedroom, 16 bathroom mansion. Located in the prestigious Piney Point village, the home is reported to have been reduced from an asking price of $20 million just three years ago.

Catering time: The kitchen features wooden floors and units, with marble counter-tops


Grandiose: The hallway boasts sweeping staircases and ornate iron banisters on a balcony

Ornate: The grand house features a combination of French and Italian style architecture
The ornate Master Suite is decorated using a largely neutral colour scheme with antique plaster reliefs set into the wall facing the marble fireplace. It features two walk in closets, a built in coffee bar, granite floors with a warming system and a double entry steam shower with five shower heads. There will be plenty of room for Beyonce and husband Jay-Z to park their plush vehicles when they visit, with a four car garage on the property.

Checkmate: The mansion features a massive 16 bathrooms, with this one featuring marble sink tops and bath

A dream in cream: The home currently features ornate murals on the walls and a grand chandelier

Film magic: Tina will be able to watch her daughter’s movies and music videos in the private screening room

Game on: The home boasts an old-fashioned games room, perfect for entertaining
The couple will be able to bring daughter Blue Ivy to the sumptuous guest suite which features a staircase to its private second-story living room with a fireplace and balcony. It will also be a breeze for Tina to entertain guests, with plenty of seating in the large dining room and en elegant patio for visitors to dine al fresco. There are even servant quarters with two separate apartments including a bedroom and private bath.

Time for a swim: The home features a curved swimming pool and jacuzzi

Eating al fresco: A pretty patio area would give Tina plenty of space to entertain guests in the summer 

Grand entrance: The home has been reduced from $19 million to $5.9 million in just three years
The 58-year-old can also stay in shape with a special fitness room featured mirrored walls and a bathroom. Outside, Tina can take a dip in a sizeable curved swimming pool, and stroll around the home’s lush gardens.

Private location: The home will keep Tina away from prying eyes with top notch security systems in place
Fashion designer Tina, who with her daughter founded family label House of Dereon, last year sold her smaller Texan home for $2,962,500. Tina’s pad was on the market for nine months with no potential buyers before the 8,885-square-foot home was purchased in the summer. Tina split from Beyonce’s father, record label executive Matthew back in 2011.

Ramsey Nouah Fatally Injured on Set in Ghana

Nigerian super actor Ramsey Nouah sustained severe injuries and missed death by the whiskers during the shooting of a new movie in Ghana. 

According to reports, the actor crash-landed on a concrete floor when he fell from a building whilst trying a stunt on a movie set in Kumasi. Though official medical reports are not yet available, it is feared the actor might have suffered internal bleeding as he reportedly complained of acute waist pains while medics attended to his blood-filled mouth
He was on the set with top actors Nana Ama McBrown, Beverly Afaglo, Roslyn Ngissah, Nana Hayford and a number of accomplished actors shooting a movie titled ‘Hotel Babylon: Where Clothes Are unclad’, directed by Kobi Rana, when the incident occurred. The movie was extensively shot in Kumasi at the Senator Hotel at Tanoso. The accident attracted crew members and director Kobi Rana, who immediately rushed to his side for fear of the unexpected.
Information indicated that Ramsey could not immediately get up on his feet as he remained on the floor for some minutes. The set had to break to allow him to recover, but after 30 minutes, he told the director he could continue with the shooting.  It is not clear if Ramsey is still in town, but he reportedly moved to Accra this week. Efforts to get him to deny or confirm the rumours proved futile. Also, calls placed to director Kobi Rana did not go through.

Ladies, 7 sexual health symptoms you should NEVER ignore

 

 If you need to urinate with alarming frequency and it’s extremely painful, bacteria, in the form of a urinary tract infection, might be to blame.

The area “down there” doesn’t always behave the way you’d expect it to. And sometimes, trouble can crop up at the most frustrating or embarrassing times—like intimate moments with your partner. But however ill-timed these interruptions may seem, your body is trying to tell you something important. “During sex is when many women first notice pain in their genitals, or rashes, bleeding and other potential signs of health trouble,” says Michele Curtis, MD, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas at Houston. “And though you may feel awkward discussing these symptoms, it’s essential to see your doctor right away and describe where the problems are located and how frequently they occur.” While most pain can be linked to treatable conditions, such as those stemming from infection and ovulation, other sources of problems can be chronic and much more serious, which is why it’s vital to monitor your body and communicate with your doctor. Read on to learn about seven common symptoms you should never ignore—and what they mean for your health.

1. Vaginal Discharge
“When you ovulate in the middle of your menstrual cycle and your body is most fertile, your vagina secretes clear to slightly cloudy fluid that is more copious than at other times of the month,” says Sandra Reed, MD, a spokeswoman for the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists who is based in Thomasville, GA. While this type of vaginal discharge is perfectly healthy, other types are cause for concern. For example, if the fluid is clotted, clumpy and white, like cottage cheese, the problem is likely a yeast infection. This is the result of an overgrowth of a fungus called candida, which is always present in the vagina. Stress, illness, taking drugs like antibiotics and steroids, and sometimes, health problems such as diabetes can cause the overgrowth. Yeast infections affect three out of four women at some point in their lives, and can be passed between sexual partners if not treated immediately. Vaginal discharge can also signal a sexually transmitted infection (STI), including gonorrhea (marked by greenish-yellow fluid), trichomoniasis (in which the discharge is usually frothy), or Chlamydia (which can cause excessive, clear-to-white discharge). “Make sure to treat STIs right away, as they can be dangerous for you and your partner, especially if they spread and their symptoms worsen,” says Leandro Mena, MD, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson and a spokesman for the American Social Health Association.

2. Itchy Rash
If your genital area is inflamed and itchy, you likely have some form of vulval dermatitis, which is an allergic reaction to an irritant that could be anything from shower gel to synthetic underwear fibers. “Sometimes rashes manifest after sex because women may be allergic to latex condoms, lubricants or spermicidal creams,” says Dr. Curtis. “They can even be allergic to their partner’s urine, sweat or sperm.” A rash could also signal herpes, an STI causing sporadic outbreaks that usually begin with a tingling sensation and then erupt into small red bumps or white blisters. “Herpes affects 16 percent of people, but 80 percent of carriers don’t realize they have it because they have no visible signs, and symptoms can vary from person to person,” says Dr. Mena. “If you or your partner has herpes symptoms, abstain from intercourse and see your doctor right away.” It’s crucial for pregnant women to get herpes treatment because they can transmit the infection to infants during childbirth. It’s also important to get continued treatment to prevent or minimize future herpes outbreaks; herpes is most contagious during visible outbreaks, even though those outbreaks may change and become less severe over time. Another possible cause of itchy rash is lichen sclerosus, a rare skin condition that causes patchy white skin mostly on the genital and anal areas. The condition causes skin on those areas to thin out and tear more easily, sometimes leading to scarring. Prompt diagnosis and treatment (usually with cortisone creams and ointments) is essential. Left unchecked, lichen sclerosus can cause the genitals to become malformed, making it painful to have sex and difficult to urinate.

3. Burning Sensation
If you need to urinate with alarming frequency and it’s extremely painful, bacteria, in the form of a urinary tract infection, might be to blame. “Frequent intercourse can boost your risk of UTIs, and can increase the pain that they cause,” says Dr. Curtis. “Sex can also move the infection up to your bladder, causing a more serious infection called cystitis.” In rare cases, burning sensations are a sign of vulvodynia, chronic pain in the vulva that can be caused by infection (such as repeated yeast or candida outbreaks), trauma (such as pelvic surgery that damages the nerves and causes them to feel continued pain) or an unidentifiable trigger. This condition, which affects 1 percent of U.S. women, can cause pain not just during sex but also while a woman is walking, using the bathroom or even just resting. Most often, vulvodynia is treated with medication, biofeedback therapy or local anesthetics. In some cases where localized vulvodynia is present surgery is performed as a last resort to remove inflamed nerves.

4. Muscle Spasms
Do your genitals regularly clench or clamp down when you’re touched or trying to have sex? If so, Dr. Reed points to vaginismus as the most likely cause. Vaginismus affects 6 percent of women and causes involuntary spasms of the vaginal wall muscles, making penetration painful. Dr. Reed says the cause of such spasms and pain is not fully known—and sometimes there is no identifiable cause. Most often, however, the root of the condition is emotional, such as past sexual trauma or anxiety about intercourse. Treatment can involve counseling, the use of vaginal dilators and physical therapy to retrain muscles and prevent them from spasming during sex.

5. Sour Smell
If your usual scent turns fishy or sour, that’s a telltale sign of bacterial vaginosis (BV), an inflammation resulting from the overgrowth of bacteria (usually gardnerella) normally found in the vagina. “Smoking, frequent douching and frequent sexual activity can all trigger BV,” says Dr. Curtis. Women usually notice BV’s smell most strongly right after their period or after sex. Treatment typically involves a course of antibiotic medication. In rare cases, a foul smell may be caused by a tampon that is left in the vagina longer than the recommended eight hours to prevent bacterial infection and toxic shock syndrome (a severe disease caused by staph bacteria). “If you’ve left your tampon in for more than a day, you may need to see your MD to remove it and get medication to treat infection,” says Dr. Reed. She adds that leaving in a tampon for a few extra hours will not likely cause toxic shock syndrome, however if you do and are experiencing a high fever, contact your doctor immediately.

6. Bleeding
The cause of spotting or light bleeding can be traced to varying factors depending on your age and health. Menopause or a hormonal imbalance can cause your uterus to shed blood and tissue at unexpected times, leading to spotting. Light bleeding can also happen if you’re using a brand of birth control pill that doesn’t agree with your body; it can cause your uterine lining to shed before the phase when you take placebo pills. If bleeding only happens right after sex—and not at any other time—Dr. Curtis says it could be an issue with your cervix. “The cells there may be sensitive or inflamed for some reason, such as an HPV infection or even the beginnings of cervical cancer.” Other causes of vaginal bleeding could include endometrial cancer, uterine fibroids (which are benign growths), pelvic inflammatory disease (bacterial infection that spreads to the upper genital tract) or an ectopic pregnancy (which takes root in the fallopian tubes instead of the uterus). If you’re pregnant, bleeding could be a sign of a miscarriage. If that’s the case, Dr. Reed recommends calling your doctor and heading to the emergency room right away.

7. Pain During Sex
Nearly 22 percent of women experience dyspareunia, or painful intercourse, at some point in their lives, reports the World Health Organization. The cause is usually a matter of physics—a need to avoid deep thrusting or finding a position that’s pleasurable for you. If pain persists, there could be many causes: ovarian cysts, infections of the uterus or fallopian tubes, scar tissue from old infections or surgeries, endometriosis (in which menstrual tissue grows in the abdominal cavity) or fibroids (benign uterine growths). If you experience any sustained pain when you have sex, talk with your physician. “Pay attention to where the pain is,” says Dr. Curtis. “Note whether it’s sharp or dull, constant or sporadic, and describe it in detail to your doctor.”
