See What Miley Cyrus Says About Men Watching "Too Much Porn"

Young American pop-icon Miley Cyrus thinks men watching "too much porn" are unrealistic about sex in a real relationship.
Photo: Miley blasts men watching porn moviesThe Wrecking Ball singer, whose engagement to Liam Hemsworth ended last September, believes the women who appear in the X-rated movies "don't exist" in real life. In her opinion, by watching the footage, guys are giving themselves unrealistic expectations about sex upon entering a relationship.
However, the singer believes that girls watching romantic comedies also have unattainable ideas about love.

Miley herself confesses that she isn't a fan of romance and insists she isn't impressed by guys who plan grand gestures to impress her as she prefers dates which are more low-key.

"I don't need you to impress me. I don't want you to, like, take me to fancy restaurants. I hate sitting down for dinner! You don't have to do that to me! You don't have to take me on trips! I literally just want to chill here!"

'Genevieve Nnaji & Omotola Jalade Are Currently Jobless' - Obi Emelonye

Forget the Genevieve – Etisalat deal and the new property Omotola just acquired on Bank Anthony road in Ikeja, the two actresses are definitely not smiling as very few acting opportunities have come their way.
According to Obi Emelonye, producer and director of Mirror Boy and Last Flight to Abuja this development is not due to the fault of the actresses rather, they have become victims of their own success.
In an exclusive chat with TheNollywoodReporter.com, Emelonye said:
“Genevieve and Omotola are the two biggest actresses we have in Nollywood, they cannot afford to charge less than their status and that is where the problem comes in. Their charges are probably above what the industry can afford. Their charges are like half of the entire production budget so which producer can afford that?”

Popular Rapper Buys 14-Yr-Old Son Expensive New Car For Birthday

One major thing you can learn from Hollywood is that a lot of things come with being rich and having a celebrity status to go with it.

Celebrities go hard when it comes to spending, and popular rapper T.I, went hard this time for family love. The 'family hustle' star got his teenage son a car for his birthday.
Although it's a thoughtful and essential gift, it comes as a surprise considering his son is only 14 years and cannot be allowed to drive his latest present.
T.I however maintains he deserves it, as he took to instagram to share a picture and a loving message about his son. T.I is definitely a proud father.

After Consultation, It Is Time To Move To APC. Let The Bridge-Building Continue - Atiku Abubakar

In 2006, as a result of my firm stand in defence of our constitution and our democracy, my supporters and I were pushed out of our party, the Peoples Democratic Party, a party that we worked tirelessly with other compatriots to build as a vehicle to restore democracy to our country.
We later returned to that party in 2009 when a new leadership of the party and the country promised a new direction, a direction of inclusiveness, of internal democracy, of an end to impunity, adherence to the rule of law and respect for the dignity of members and Nigerians.
Sadly, however, those promises have not been kept. In addition, the PDP continues to be beset with many crises, mostly leadership-induced crises. It has since lost touch with Nigerians and efforts made by many well-meaning members and stakeholders to bring it back to the vision of the founders have been rebuffed. To demonstrate the seriousness of the challenges and bring public attention to it I and some other leaders and stakeholders staged a walkout during the party’s last convention in Abuja.
As I speak, most of the issues that led to that walk-out are yet to be addressed. Many founding members of the PDP, I included, continue to be marginalized and excluded from the affairs of the party. For instance as a former Vice President, I am by virtue of the PDP constitution, a member of the party’s Board of Trustees and its National Executive Committee. However, I am not invited to the meetings of those organs nor consulted on their decisions, apparently because I dared to exercise my right to contest in the party’s primary election for a chance to be its flag-bearer in the 2011 elections. We have, therefore, concluded that that party cannot be redeemed. In short the PDP has abandoned Nigerians, the very people who gave it life and many electoral victories.
More worrisome though is the danger posed to the continued existence of this country by this culture of impunity and arbitrariness. We continue to have threats from officially protected political extremists. Increasingly our people are recklessly being divided along the lines of religion, ethnicity and region for political gains. Our history and that of many other countries in Africa and Eastern Europe ought to teach us that this is very dangerous and must stop.
We can and we must do better. Our people deserve better.

WAEC Introduces 39 New Subjects Into Examination's Curriculum

 
The West African Examinations Council has announced the introduction of 39 new subjects in its examinations.
 The Council’s Acting Head, Test Development Division, Mrs. Olayinka Ajibade, who announced this, said the new subjects would commence in this year’s May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
Ajibade said this while delivering a paper titled “The New Senior Secondary Education Curriculum in Nigeria: Implications for Assessment” at the council’s monthly seminar in Lagos on Friday.
The fresh initiative, she said, was in accordance with the Nigerian Education Research and Development Council’s new secondary school curriculum.
The NERDC is the body responsible for reviewing primary and secondary schools’ curricula in the country.
She said, “The implementation of the new SSCE curricula began in September 2011, meaning that the maiden public examinations based on the new/ revised curricula are expected to be held in May/ June 2014.
“Each WASSCE syllabus is derived from the senior secondary education curriculum. In addition to the 39 new subjects for which NERDC engaged in curriculum development, curriculum review was also carried out for 35 existing subjects.”
In the new curriculum, four new subjects- Computer Studies, Insurance, Store Management and Office Practice- are in the electives category, while the remaining 35 subjects are in the Trades category.
Among subjects in the trade category are Painting and Decorating, Photography, Salesmanship, Plumbing and Pipe Fitting, and Upholstery.
Ajibade added that under the fresh directive, students would be required to take four core subjects, comprising English Language, General Mathematics, Civic Education and Trade/ Entrepreneurial Studies.
The candidates, she added, would be required to choose three or four subjects from Humanities, Science, Technology and Business Studies depending on their potential and interest.
 Ajibade, while unveiling this, noted however that the new directive would face some challenges.
She identified inadequate teachers, appalling state of facilities in schools and large class size as some of the challenges that would likely beset the initiative.
