Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. LIFE is too short to be unhappy!

ASUU STRIKE: Students Give FG, ASUU 7-day Ultimatum
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), issued a
one-week ultimatum to the Federal Government and the union’s leadership
to resolve their differences or face corrosive consequences.
The students have vowed that they would take their destinies in their own hands if the parties failed to reconcile within a week and that they will go on a nation-wide riot in what it described as ‘operation occupy Nigeria’.
The students’ body appealed to ASUU to return to the classroom and continue negotiation with the Federal Government since the latter claimed to have released over N100 billion for infrastructural development and another N30 billion for allowances.
“We are appealing to ASUU that since the Federal Government has been able to release N100 billion for infrastructural development and N30 billion for allowance, they should go back to classroom and continue their negotiation or agitation. This is our prayer and wish.
“We are giving them one week to open the schools or be ready to face corrosive consequences in form of nation-wide demonstration and riots. We are ready to mobilise for that and it will be operation occupy Nigeria,” he said.
Lamenting the effect of the strike, Obasi said students have become prone to accidents on the highways and the female students have been reduced to sex hawkers on the streets.
His words: “I stand to tell you that a lot of accidents have been recorded and 99.9% of the victims are Nigerian students. If they were in classrooms, they would not have fallen victims of road crashes.
“Our female students have become commercial sex hawkers on the streets in order to make ends meet. This colossal effect is more than what ASUU is agitating for. Hence, we can no longer fold our arms and watch things go wrong.”

ASUU STRIKE: Reps Ask ASUU Not To Give Up
Former Chairman,
House of Representatives Committee on Education, Farouk Lawal,
yesterday, appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU,
to return to the negotiating table with the Federal Government to bring
an end to the lingering strike.
Lawal, who spoke during a chat with newsmen, also charged the Federal Government not to always cave in to pressure to sign an agreement if it knew the terms were stringent.
He recalled that similar incident had occurred in the past when government bowed to pressure and later backslid, stressing that dialogue remained the best way out of the present ASUU/FG impasse.
He said: “I think, in the first place, that the best way of resolving any crisis is through dialogue and it is on this note that I am appealing to ASUU to resume negotiation with the government.
“I am appealing to both sides to resume negotiations because, it is only through dialogue, it is only through consultations, that the issues can be resolved.”

Finding Long–term–love
By Jennifer Angel
Often we start out dating someone and don’t evaluate whether or
not the person is a suitable partner for us until we are in too deep. If
you want to enjoy a lasting, solid relationship though, it would be
wise to start this process early as it can lead to a better situation
for you in the long run. It may not be necessary to run each date like
an interrogation, but evaluating the sustainability of the partnership
before you become attached could save you a lot of trouble and
heartache.
Falling in love for the right – or wrong – reasons
It is possible to fall in love with the wrong person for you, but by the time you do it can be too late to abandon ship. It doesn’t take long for people to show their true colors, but it is up to you to recognize the signs and act upon them if you don’t want to be stuck in a relationship that doesn’t work as well as it would have if you chose the right person for you. When you get the first inkling that your morals aren’t aligned, your interests don’t mesh or any other serious deal–breakers emerge, you need to ask yourself a few questions. Can you picture yourself dealing with the discrepancy in personality for the rest of your life? What would the quality of your life be like if you choose to follow through on the current route you’re on? If the answers to these questions aren’t glowing examples of contentment, or even if you can’t consider some compromise, it might be wise to review your involvement.
Every relationship has challenges
It’s easy to overlook certain undesirable qualities when the butterflies dance around in your stomach and you smile every time you hear your new love interest’s name, but those feelings soon dissipate or at least dwindle and reality will set in. Every relationship takes work and faces challenges, even if you find someone who is potentially perfect for you. There are fundamental differences between certain people that are just too difficult to overcome, let alone build a lasting relationship on. Opposites do attract, but only when you can be grateful for the way you complement each other.
Relationship evaluation
As time goes on you become more aware of what is working in your relationship and what is not. It’s important for you to understand why it doesn’t work so you can decide whether or not it is something you can overcome. You may begin to question what it is exactly that has kept you together this long and when that begins to happen you can evaluate the future. Some differences just can’t be fixed or aligned; they are too ingrained in who we are and if you think about it, changing who someone is defies what true love is supposed to be, rather than accepting the other person for who they are. There may not be anything wrong with the person you’ve chosen as a partner, they just may be so totally different from you in enough ways to make the union destined for disaster.
You make your own decisions in life
People say you can’t help who you fall in love with but that statement isn’t altogether true. You do have control over who you date and who you choose to be with, which in turn is usually who you fall in love with. Making smarter choices in who you choose to spend your time with can lead to better choices in a long–term partner and a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship. It’s possible to really enjoy someone’s company or personality, but that doesn’t necessarily make them a good fit for a lifetime lover. Make sure you can tell the difference between the principles and are able to act upon them once you’ve realized what’s going on.

ASUU update
Ahead of today’s meeting with the
Federal Government, President of
the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, Dr. Nasir
Fagge, has declared that the
union will not back down on the
ongoing strike if a compromise is
not reached.
Speaking
to PM
News, Dr. Fagge maintained that
the strike action was not
embarked upon just for the
demands, but for the Federal
Government to honour a Memorandum
of Understanding which it signed
in 2012 with ASUU.
“Who’s talking about demands
here? We presented our demands in
2006 and it took us three years
to get it into an agreement.
“The Federal Government signed an
MOU in 2012, that’s what we are
asking them to honour, period.
The strike action will not
continue only if they implement
the MOU we had last year,” Fagge
said.
He further disclosed that “If we
call off the strike when the MOU
has not been implemented, of what
use was the strike action in the
first place? We are holding on
until everything is sorted out.”
The industrial action by the
lecturers will be forty-nine days
old if ASUU does not reach an
agreement with the Federal
Government at the meeting
scheduled to hold later today.

BE A WOMAN, NOT A GIRL
Honestly....:;
Let's look at a very fierce issue which most girls/ ladies try so much to avoid. It has to do with the different
characteristics that seperates a girl/lady from a wife
material. Listen, every guy out there wants a wife material and
nothing else so you've gotta grow up and be the best
to your man. Stop being a girl and start being a Lady!
Don't force anything just be YOU! **A girl knows how to demand......A wife material
knows how to contribute.
**Girls complain too often......A wife material will
observe for a while and then call her man's attention to
the matter arising.
**Girls can spend 5k on ice cream........A wife material can manage 5k to cook for almost week.
**A girl will wanna keep up with trends........A wife material will wanna consider her man's progress before
trying to get all trendy and even when she does get
trendy, she cuts her coat according to her cloth.
**A girl nags often........A wife material is submissive to
her man and sheats her tongue but she never stiffles
her opinion. She happens to be a woman of very few but potent words.
**A girl will measure her man's worth by the weight of
his pocket......... A wife material will measure her man's worth by his level of Wisdom, the fear of God, his
perception to life and how disciplined/ aticulate he can be towards finances.
**A girl is naturally self centered, stubborn and short
sighted........ .A wife material is sacrificial, loyal,
future oriented, focused and family minded.
**A girl wants everything instantly...... ...A wife material waits until they can both attend to their needs
as at when possible.
**A girl is not considerate and sees materialism as her
aphrodisiac.... ...A wife material helps her man to plan ahead and spend prudently.
**A girl will "always" prefer to eat out.......A wife
material will prefer to go grocery shopping and fix a
home-made meal for her man. It's a known fact that ladies in general, passes through
this "phase" of being a girl but You definitely must grow
from being "a girl" to "a wife material" to be able to
handle a home. You can't still be a girl and expect to
have a REAL MAN, of course you'll get a BOY. It's high
time you started being a wife material to your partner. .............Gi ve it a thought Honey! ........::::|#Hope|::::.......

If
you are SINGLE and reading this status right now, just know you’re not
alone. I know what you’re going through and how you’re feeling. You make
yourself busy with work; studies… but it always get lonely at night.
You get bored. No one to call on you, no one to send you a goodnight
love message… You then end up getting addicted to your TV, to your
laptop, to your phone and Facebook. When you get
exhausted you go to your cozy bed and that is where you start recalling
the best moments you’ve ever had in love with that person you loved so
much with all your heart but when he/she is no more.
On weekends you get to be more bored because you have some free time but no one special to hang out with. Then there these friends of yours who always invite you on parties to give them company and for you to have some fun but you tend feel out of place when you get there. You feel left out when your friends are having fun with their partners. Then you start pondering about many things. Many thoughts and questions start playing in your heart. You start hating yourself…But I tell you what my friend, God is watching you and He’s in full control of your life. You are single for a special reason that you are yet to find out. GOD HAS SOMEONE SPECIAL FOR YOU IN STOCK. So let your enemies say that you were cursed and bewitched but God will perform miracles in your life and they’ll be astonished.
So “don’t lose hope, stay strong, focused, hardworking, keep trusting and praying to God and be preparing yourself to receive that person that God is soon gonna send to you.”
