A KAMASUTRA LESSONS

 KAMASUTRA LESSONS: 1. Kamasutra says : If you suck one nipple, the women herself offers the other one. And that was the origin of "buy one get one free"! 2. Did you ever notice: everything on a woman's upper body starts with a "B". Blouse, Bra, Bikini, Boobs & lower body with a "P" Peticoat, panties, pussy...No wonder men suffer from high B P! 3. Before sex, you help each other get naked. After sex, you dress only yourself. Moral: In life no one helps you once you're screwed. 4. Success is like pregnancy. Everybody congratulates you but nobody knows how many times you got screwed to achieve it. 5. What is the difference between frustration and satisfaction? What the Fuck! and What a Fuck! 6. 3 people having sex is a threesome, 2 is a twosome. So next time someone calls you 'HANDSOME', don't take it as a compliment! 7. Life is like a dick, sometimes it becomes hard for no reason. 8. Practical thought: A

'Hate Speech, Fake News And National Unity' - Lai Mohammed Writes

Image
Last week, Nigeria's Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed delivered this speech at the extra-ordinary meeting of the National Council on Information that held in Jos. Read the full speech centered on combating Fake news, media inciting violence and national unity below... This theme, HATE SPEECH, FAKE NEWS AND NATIONAL UNITY, was well chosen to bring to the fore the looming danger facing our country from what has now become the scourge of our time. Though I have repeatedly called attention, at many fora, to the dangers posed by the menace of the now pervasive hate speech, disinformation and fake news, no one gave the issue the attention it deserves until it started threatening the very foundation of our national unity. It was Gina Greenlee who said ‘’experience is a master teacher, even if it is not our own.’’ I am sure many here have heard or read about how hate speech and incitement to violence played a significant role in the 1994 genocide that left at least

Why You Snore And How To Prevent It

Image
Why It Happens If you snore, it's because the relaxed tissues in your throat vibrate as the air you breathe in rushes past them. About half of U.S. adults do it from time to time. Things like your weight, your health, and the shape of your mouth can make you more likely to sound like you're sawing logs during the night.  How Do I Know If I Snore? If it’s loud enough to wake your partner, you probably have heard about it. If you don’t believe them or sleep alone and want to know for sure, turn on a voice-activated recorder before you fall sleep. Stuffy Nose Anything that stops you from breathing through your nose can make you snore, like if you’re stopped up from a cold, flu, or allergies. Over-the-counter medicines or nasal strips can help open up those airways, but talk to your doctor if you’re stuffed up for weeks at a time. The Shape of Your Nose If the thin wall between your nostrils didn’t form quite right, one side can be smaller than the other --

US regulators are struggling to rein in illegal cryptocurrency offerings

Image
Regulators are in uncharted territory trying to regulate illegal cryptocurrency public coin offerings, US officials told Congress today. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman John Clayton had harsh words for those dodging SEC regulations today at a Senate banking committee hearing: “Many ICOs [initial coin offerings] are being conducted illegally. Their promoters and other participants are not following our security laws,” Clayton said. “Some people say that’s because the law isn’t clear. I do not buy that for a moment.” Clayton and J. Christopher Giancarlo, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), testified today in front of members of the US Senate banking committee and answered their questions on virtual currencies. Spelling it out, Clayton said that his team was watching those who are raising ICOs: “Those who engage in semantic gymnastics or elaborate structuring exercises in an effort to avoid having a coin be a security, are squarely in

16 Everyday Things Whose Purpose You Didn’t Know Before

There are a lot of things we have around ourselves, and we don’t know the purpose of some of them. We try to figure out but still do not understand their real purpose. As all of you know, humans are curious in nature. We are the same, so we have decided to unravel some of the mysteries for the lot of you. We will be glad to share our discoveries with you. #1 A hanging loop on back of shirt   ymuro.com This little loop has three interesting theories. According to first one, it is the clearest purpose that this loop is for hanging the shirt. Then, there is another theory that it comes from the time when there were the removable collars of shirts and the handkerchiefs, so maybe its purpose is to fasten the tie somehow. According to third and last theory, a person from a University removed this loop after he started to date a girl. He did this to show that he is not single anymore. #2 The Power cable cylinder   i.ytimg.com You might have noticed a cylinder on the power co

Here are 22 of our photos in which pets exhibit surprising human-like behavior. Accidental or not, these pictures will surely make your day!

Nigerians criticise Senate for asking CBN to give dollars at N200 for pilgrimage

Image
Hajj pilgrims The Nigerian Senate was heavily criticised by Nigerians on Thursday for asking the federal government to direct the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to supply dollars at N200 to those going on pilgrimage either to Saudi Arabia or Israel. If the government consents to the request, it means the allocation of foreign exchange for those planning to embark on the pilgrimage would be subsidised by about 37 per cent. Currently, the naira exchanges at about N315 to the dollar in the official window, as against about N365 to the dollar at the parallel market is. The request ignores the provisions in the approved Medium Term Expenditure Framework, MTEF, covering all expenditure plans for 2017, and the Appropriation Act, which was earlier approved by the lawmakers, prior to the assent by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo. Following the adoption of the report by the committee on foreign affairs on “Extortion of Pilgrims” by the National Hajj Commission, a former governor of
