Dear Woman, It Is A Lie | By: Florence Ozor
Husbands
Every woman should have a husband like Bill Clinton.
I do know about the sex scandal….Yes I do. I do not condone nor trivialise It……I do not stand in judgement of anyone, we are all genetically wired with flaws.
It was with his scandal that I got to know how grievous it can be to everything else. In my young mind, it only bothered on trust and betrayal until I saw and read the reaction of Americans to a cheating president. I thought to myself….what a world!
In Nigeria culturally till date it is not an “issue”. What a tragedy.
Confidence and intelligence has its place. Being self aware and ambitious has its place also.
Motivation from one you love can birth confidence amongst other things; likewise the wrong words from the one you love can erode confidence amongst other things.
A woman who is getting the right dose of praises, support and push from her husband glows and blossoms differently.
I watched Bill speak about his wife and you register the fact that he is still in awe of Hillary……same with Obama to Michelle.
The strength of a woman is the reflection of the strength of her husband. The weakness of a woman is a peep into the soul of the man who husbands’ her.
Only great men help women be Greater.
Though few, there are so many men holding the ladder of success for their women knowing her success is a mirror of his greatness.
Dear Woman, it is a lie
When you are instructed not to have a voice in a gathering or an opinion on politics, business, economy, foreign policy but should only be heard when it concerns housekeeping, cooking and laundry….. it’s a lie.
When you are acquainted with the fallacy that your well put together and sometimes expensive cloths intimidates the man…it’s a lie.
When you are told that your ambitions are not valid and neither are your goals relevant….it’s a lie.
When you are told to intentionally exhibit weakness in other to make him feel strong….it’s a lie.
When you are told to act unintelligent because your intelligence will put him off…it’s a lie.
When you are told that telling your spouse how to pleasure you sexually exposes you as a whore…..it’s a lie.
When you are told: Do not buy that first car, that house and do not get that degree as men are going to run…it’s a lie.
When you are told that having your own money, owning your own company will make you scary to men..It’s a lie.
When you are made to belive that your divine and sole purpose is to make babies and that all there is to you is your virgina….it’s a lie.
When you are told that ambition is bad and a show of Strength is repulsive to the man….it’s a lie.
When you are told that you should be confined to a small corner, a taped box and should not pursue your dreams because he feels threatened….It’s a lie.
When you are made to belive that your dependence on a man is your sole ticket to relevance….It’s a lie.
When you lose yourself and it is said to be an injustice to humanity……it is true.
The greatest gift of the world is being a woman, the greatest blessing For the world is being a strong woman.
RIO Olympics: NOC releases Zika virus prevention guidelines for Nigerians
Ahead of the Olympic Games which will hold from August 5 to 21 at the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The Nigeria Olympic Committee Medical and Scientific Commission have released guidelines on Zika virus prevention for Nigerians who are attending the sporting event. Pregnant women have been advised not to travel to Brazil, while athletes, officials and other Nigerians in the country for the games should prevent mosquito bites by using insect repellent and protective clothing.
• After the Games, all travellers should practice safer sex, including the correct and consistent use of condoms, or abstain from sex for at least eight weeks after their return;
• Men who experience symptoms of Zika virus disease during or after their return, should adopt safer sex practices or abstain from sex for at least six months;
• Pregnant women whose sexual partners travelled to Brazil should practice safer sex practices or abstain from sex for the duration of their pregnancy. Couples or women planning a pregnancy should wait at least eight weeks after return from Brazil before trying to conceive; and 6 months if the male partner was symptomatic;
• All travellers should use personal protective measures such as insect repellent for at least three weeks after returning from the Games to avoid being bitten and potentially spreading the infection to other people through mosquito bites; and,
• Travellers should not donate blood for at least four weeks after departure from Brazil to reduce the potential risk of onwards transmission.
Nigerians should also “be up to date with all the common childhood vaccinations before visiting Brazil (you may even need a booster). This includes immunizations for Tetanus and Diphtheria, Whooping cough (Pertussis), Hepatitis B, polio, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR).
Brazil is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as endemic for Yellow Fever. A Yellow Fever vaccination is compulsory.” It added that the full two-dose Hepatitis A vaccine is strongly recommended when visiting Brazil and other precautions for hygiene and food safety should be taken.

The Path To Your E-Million Dollar Business
Most fortunes are made online these days, predominantly in the fields of apps and games development and social media.
Whilst everyone is not in the league – or have the resources – to develop the next Pokemon Go! Or Call of Duty games simple games have been developed by individuals that have gone on to be worldwide successes such as Angry Birds. A look around the Google or iTunes stores will show how many of these individual-created games are growing in popularity.
Without a doubt to create a game you will need coding skills. These can either be learnt online, in colleges or if you’re unsure of yourself you can farm it out to the professionals. Coding skills or not you still need a blueprint for how your game will work. To do this requires the old-fashion technique of writing things down on a piece of paper. Your scribbling without any doubt will be about what the game is all about, how it’s played and the rules and regulations. Once done comes the task of translating it into computer code. If you can’t do it yourself then get a professional to do it. Uploading it to Google or iTunes apps store is easy – just follow the prompts.
Marketing. Just like with any other business you need to advertise your new game or it will just sit there in the store unsold. There are lots of websites and blogs out there that promote new games. Some do it for free and some may charge a nominal fee. Google ‘new game promoters’ to pull up a more comprehensive list of potential markets.
In our modern day and age we can’t live without the computer applications, or apps, on our smartphones or tablets. We use them for everything from booking fight tickets to ordering takeaway meals. And more and more apps are coming on to the market everyday – some are absolutely useless and others we can’t live without.
Even though there are millions of apps out there there’s still room for lots more. For instance has anyone come up with an app warning people about where armed robbery or carjacking hotspots are in Lagos? Or an app to let you know where to buy petrol when there’s a scarcity? Or an app that lets you stream new local music content? These are simple ideas that can be turned into profitable ventures. Don’t worry if you can’t code for there are people out there that can turn your raw idea around into a professional program. You just need an original idea and there are lots of help online on how to take it further.
The most profitable and simple online venture that people use to make money online these days is blogs. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist or computer programmer to run a blog. It’s so easy to run that most 10-year olds have them.
In Nigeria today there are thousands of blogs: some have a few subscribers while others, such as Naijagists and Linda Ikeji, have a subscriber base that runs into hundreds of thousands.
The commercial success of a blog depends on the traffic it receives. The more people visiting your blog, the more click-thrus and advertising revenue you can earn. Now, not everybody can be in the same league as Queen Linda Ikeji whose blog receives hundreds of thousands of visits per month but you can take steps to increase your subscriber base.
Why do so many blogs fail to earn their bloggers any money? The answer is simply two words – Boring Content!
If your blog is boring nobody is going to read it. It needs to be lively, full of the latest gossip, information or news (-depending on your preferences or speciality). It’s got to be full of stuff people can’t read elsewhere – and please no stale or third-hand news or gossip lifted from another blog!
Be first with the best. Be original and you’ll be surprised how your subscriber base will grow by word of mouth (I found out about Linda Ikeji’s blog from a friend!) even before you hit the promotion trail. Look up the top 10 blogs in Nigeria and study the format that makes them so successful. If possible copy it! (- but don’t plagiarize!)
Are you good in front of the camera? Good at singing, giving advice or just good at making a fool of yourself? Then why not give vlogging a go. Vlogging is just the making of a video of what you get up to and posting it on the web (WARNING – No adult or X-rated content please!)
Setting up a channel on YouTube is easy and free (- so easy kids are doing it!) and all you have to do is upload your videos. YouTube, who generate income from advertising, will pay you depending on the number of visitors you receive to your site. Some accomplished vloogers such as Zoe Sugg, Zoella the fashion and beauty vlogger, are earning in excess of $50,000 per month. Again you need to find your own niche – and get a good digital camcorder and someone who knows how to operate it and edit videos! Check out the top vloggers and learn from them.
Again all these ventures whether it be games or apps development, blogging and vlogging, if you don’t market them you are going to earn nada!
Social media has made life easier when it comes to marketing. Google, Facebook and Twitter all have marketing plans designed for the individual that won’t break the bank and can reach a wide worldwide audience. Again there is word of mouth – tell a few friends who’ll hopefully tell their friends and keep spreading the word till you’ve built up a considerable subscriber or client base. There are also lots of trade websites that offer advert placement worldwide, banner creation and exchange and simple affordable marketing services.
You may not grow as big as Facebook, Google, Snapchat or Twitter – but yet again you may!
Get to work on your ideas: spruce them up, get them refined and get out there and market them.
As always I can only wish you the very best in your endeavours to establish your own very e-million dollar business.
Goodluck!

Why Chelsea are the most hated team in the Premier League
Chelsea have been voted the most hated team in the Premier League.
We are least surprised.
Let’s face it, Chelsea FC are hated. This fact isn’t subject to any form of debate. Ever wondered why people loathe the club so much? The reasons (my point of view) are two and are not far-fetched. From observation, most of their fans are aggressive and loud-mouthed. No apologies!
Chelsea fans are ubiquitous. In a football viewing center consisting of 50 fans, 25 support The Blues, others root for Manchester United, Arsenal and the rest. 15 out of the 25 will shout you down when you say anything against the club, the other 10 only watch and nod in agreement or disagreement. The ones that are active on social media will shut the internet down when they win and maintain pin-drop silence when they lose. Infact they come after supporters of other clubs and remind them of how their manager has failed to produce an epl title over the years. (Whispers Arsenal) or how they walloped them 5-0 several seasons ago. Don’t get me wrong, fans of other club do this too but Chelsea fans take the lead.
The second reason, Jose Mourinho. He revels in conflict. His inflammatory statements and personal attacks on colleagues and (other) football players excite not a few Chelsea fans. Infact, during one of his reigns at the club, he criticized their supporters saying he found their lack of noise (have Chelsea fans ever lacked noise?) frustrating adding that they make it difficult for his players.
Maybe everything will change now that they have a new manager.
