When a relationship breaks down - Don Jazzy and Dbanj

Don Jazzy, the guy who produced that song which got me rocking the dance floor on my wedding day tweeted  earlier todayabout the rumours of his split with Dbanj. I shook my head of course. I didn't miss the splash made in the media of Dbanj's gaffe in an interview. And because I watched the full clip of his interview with Sahara Reporters some weeks prior, I won't be surprised if he had actually misyarned. The guy is not all that. He's just an entertainer, like he said.

Now I don't also know Don Jazzy except when people I do follow retweet him or the rags carry his tweets, so I'm not taking sides. I read the following tweets first thing this morning from one of my BB contacts.

Ashley Judd in Missing - The ABC TV Show

Who watched Missing - the ABC series with Ashley Judd yesterday? After seeing trailers ads on almost every other website including the large one here on my blog, I decided to give it a go yesterday. I didn't last more than 30 mins and I think that told me all I needed to know. I feel they rushed into the story, with the husband blown up in their first five minutes, and Ashley Judd fighting the baddies within 15 minutes. A slow build-up of both the character and story suspense would have worked better for me. As it is, I haven't really connected with the main character and I'm supposed to be cheering her on?

Already, from the promos on TV, I knew it was along the same plot lines as Taken, a movie with Liam Neeson where his daughter was kidnapped for sex trafficking in France. It turns out he's a CIA operative and he goes into action to rescue her. Missing is basically the same, except here, it is the mother that is an Ex-CIA agent and going to save her son in Italy. I have been wondering if such a movie-like story can be told in series and I don't have a positive answer at this stage. I will give it another try next week, but I don't know.

Re: Christianity and Sex - What's a young Lady to do?

This is the response from the young lady who sent in that request.

Good morning, Myne. I just have to say this - thank you for posting my letter on your blog. The comments have been so realistic and helpful, and as anticipated, I did have a lot of fun. The personal experiences mentioned have taught me so much, and will be a guide in my next relationship. The comments from the males, Gbemisoke and a few others really blew my mind.

I spoke to the dear "Spirit-filled" brother who visited about how uncomfortable I was about what happened, and how we should have talked about stuff like that before he visited, and though he apologised, he called a few days later, saying he feels he's taking another man's wife. So, we are officially over. *smiling*

What Men Notice About Women - Atala Writes

Funke Akindele covers YNaija!

The question of what men notice immediately about women is one of those questions that keeps on popping up again and again in conversation. And no wonder... a person wants to know what everyone else is thinking so that he or she can take advantage of them... erm, I mean, have a better relationship with them. So it stands to reason that if women know what thing men notice first, then (assuming they want to attract men), they can flaunt that thing to the max, if it’s available to flaunt.

Life Lessons from Marriage and Motherhood by Chinyere Obi-Obasi

Today is my birthday and being in my middle 40s, since you are not near enough to partake in the rice and stew very plenty I will give you better RSVP, the lessons I have learnt. I have decided to devote this article  to share with you the lessons I have learnt all these years which did not come on a platter of gold. I am not sharing this as a writer but as a mother, wife and an elderly auntie.

I want to start by thanking God specifically for His love and blessings. I want to thank God for blessing me with a WONDERFUL LOVING HUSBAND, CHARLES, who is an epitome of responsibility. I thank God for the beautiful, sweet and well behaved children; potential leaders in their own right.

Two Weeks After Bouri Weight Loss - Holding Steady

Some of you may have followed my weight loss with the Bouari Advantage Spray and support from the Bellevue Clinic. Well, it was a 30 days programme and ended around February 25. Since then, I have tried to make sure that I did not gain back the 14 or so pounds I lost during that period. So far so good, I have actually lost a couple more pounds in the last two weeks. This is what I have been doing that seems to help;

Launching African High Street - A Dynamic Online Shopping Experience

Omosede, the founder of African High Street, contacted me sometime last year to inform me about her upcoming website and ask to stock my books. Of course, I was happy to do that, and it was with pleasure that I got her news that the website is now operational. This is her description of the site;

The First Things Ladies Notice about Men?

So I was reading Bombchell.com the other day and she had some pictures from the Arise Fashion Week in Lagos on her blog. She ran into the model from Rihanna's music video, We found Love, and she was describing how she was mesmerized by the guy's eyes. That got me thinking about what I notice first when I meet a guy, and generally what I've had friends and other ladies say they notice about guys. I also get drawn to eyes, and I can see how this guy's eyes would be a hit with the ladies.

India Arie: Brown Skin - Romance Meets Music

India Arie is one of my favorite American musicians among those who are at the edges of traditional R&B/Soul. I'm not gonna say much about this video except that I love the song and lyrics even more. It reminds me of a poem I wrote some time ago titled "You are my Poem"
