GIRL FRIEND IS BETTER THAN BOY FRIEND

   SHARE CLOTHES There are so many things you can only do with your girl friends that your boyfriend will never understand, having a boyfriend can be a lot of fun, but sometimes you just can't beat a girl friend! For instance, you can share clothes, shoes and other accessories with your girl friend -- double the wardrobe options and style advice all in one. If you did that with your boyfriend, things would start to get a little weird.      GOSSIP Your boyfriend doesn't really care about all of the intricate details of the lives of people he doesn't know, especially celebrities, but your girl friend will always be there to listen to any juicy details you have just found out. Girl friends are especially good for gushing about how hot your favorite male celeb is, something your boyfriend definitely doesn't want to hear about!   THEY WONT CHEAT Of course not all boyfriends cheat, but since you aren't in a commited relationship with the...

Digisexuals:Why Do They Believe in Sex With Robots?

The rise of sex robots has academics studying whether people will even need human intimacy anymore. What with the endless hordes of sex robots on the horizon. I’m sure we’ve all been seeing the advancements of sex robots lately. With AI Robot Sophia actually being declared a citizen of Saudi Arabia this October, and a brothel that changes it’s location every night in Barcelona where the women have been replaced by sex robots! Brothel owner Sergei Prieto said, "Customers come to seek new sexual experiences and new ways of living sex. Like us, they believe that this is the beginning of the sex of the future”, and it’s being suggested that even more is to come in a new report from ethics researchers Neil McArthur and Markie Twist of the University of Manitoba.

Adams oshiomole biography

Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole ShareThis Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole was born on April 4, 1952 in Iyamoh, near Auchi in today's Edo State. He was born into the humble family of Alhaji Aliyu Oshiomhole of blessed memory and Alhaja Aishetu Oshiomhole. After his secondary education, Adams Oshiomhole proceeded to the Ruskin College, Oxford where he majored in economics and industrial relations. He is also an alumnus of the prestigious National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru. In 1969 before his tertiary education, he had taken up appointment with the Arewa Textiles Company.

Ikokore : An Ijebu Food

Ifokore, is a Yam Pottage dish made with Water Yam  not White Yam. It is a pottage recipe from the Ijebu people of Ogun state and ijebu from Lagos state , Nigeria. I’m yet to come across an Ijebu person who doesn’t love Ikokore,  Ikokore remains a staple in an ijebu household. To really enjoy Ikokore, you’ll need to incorporate as much proteins as you possibly can to enrich it. Your best bets are Shaki, ( intestine ) Ponmo, Chicken, Goat meat, Gizzard, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Fish, Panla, Eja Kika, the more the merrier. The authentic Ikokore recipe requires no blended pepper, it calls for just Scotch Bonnet (Ata rodo) and in some cases, dry ground pepper but I’m not too keen on hot and spicy dishes so I settle for Shombo. Ingredients: A Tuber of Water yam 3 Cooking spoons Palm Oil 4 Cups Chicken or Beef Stock/ Water #100 Shombo/Tatashe or 4Tablespoons dry ground pepper #50 Scotch Bonnet (ata Rodo) Smoked Fish (Eja Kika) or Shawa (Bonga fish)Shredd...
