On Women Who Say It is Harder to Find a Good Man in Nigeria - Ali Baba

“I have a serious matter at hand that I want to share. In fact, I should have shared this long ago, but the primary message from a friend that prompted the matter, was lost in between the series of inbox messages from those strange girls that are looking for romantic friendships on Facebook.

In a nutshell, a lady friend sent me an inbox message on how it’s harder to find a good man in Nigeria. And that the men who are “manageable” (her words, not mine) are so scarce and if you ever get them they are either married to a lady that does not deserve them or just repenting from a bad marriage from one of such women. Or even just lost faith in the whole marriage thing.

I later ran into her at a club. After the usual introductions that have become common place with these social media network of friends… (You are my friend on Twitter, Facebook, Tango, INSTAGRAM… That kind of thing)…. I chatted with her a bit and found out from what she told me, that, many women are now settling for anything in between MR Right, MR Not just ok and MR Nearly right.

Why The Marriages Of Top Nigerian Pastors Fail By Praise Fowowe

Praise Fowowe, self confessed sex addict turned relationship and sex counselor, wrote this thought provoking article that gives reasons why the marriages of some top pastors, like Pastor Chris Oyakhilome above, have ended in divorce.

1. A man of God is not God, he is a man: Unfortunately, we treat our men of God as if they are spirits who don't live in human body. What do we expect when we saddle them with our numerous issues. Unfortunately, many are not wise to say no to church members whose lives will continue if they drop dead.

Church members have academic, financial, and even marital problems, they go to the pastor as if the man is built to solve every problem and in our quest to prove that we are superstars, we also fail to embrace the use of professionals who are trained in these things because of our hidden fear of respect.

What stops a man of God who knows his marriage is in danger to take a back seat and allow a church member whose marriage is a model take a message on a Sunday that marriage is meant to be discussed? You are not built to solve every problem.

Usher has been dating his manager and Def Jam label executive Grace Miguel, 47, since after his divorce from Tameka Raymond in 2009 and it looks like the 35 year old singer is thinking about settling down again.

Some weeks ago, Usher had mentioned in an interview that he hoped his ex-wife would stop using his last name if he ever married again.

Now, Usher admits he's getting closer to tying the knot again. In an interview on Extra with Angie Martinez Usher said;

Yesterday, we told you about Daniele Watts, an African American actress and her white boyfriend who were arrested for public sex [here].

Daniele said she protested because she knew she had done nothing wrong, and that was when they handcuffed her and put her in their squad car. Her boyfriend believes they thought she was a prostitute.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Suspends Pastor For Discussing His Divorce, Calls It Blasphemy?

Blasphemy is supposed to mean speaking out against God, now Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of Christ Embassy, has given it a new meaning.

The pastor who is embroiled in a divorce drama with his estranged wife suspended one of the church pastors in Lagos, Michelle Okojie, for her “subversive activities” - read, discussing the divorce with church members and not being supportive of the sainted pastor Chris.

Citing Bible passages from Romans 16:17-20 and Titus 3:10 wherein Christians were told to “watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles,” the church warned every member of the congregation to stay away from Ms. Okojie.

So from being beloved, a Pastor has been cast into outer darkness from the church. Na wa o... see her pictures during happier days as part of the church below...

Django Unchained Star Daniele Watts Detained For Public Sex With Her White Boyfriend

Daniele Watts, a hollywood actress who played the role of a slave house maid in Django Unchained, was detained briefly by police officers after she was allegedly caught having sex with boyfriend, Brian James Lucas, in the passenger seat of their car on Sept. 11.

Reports say when the police arrived at where the couple were and asked for her ID, the actress went off on them, accusing them of being racist. The actress asked the police, "Do you know how many times we’ve been stopped because I’m black and he’s white?"

This was heard in an audio recording obtained by TMZ, Danielle is over heard telling Sgt. Jim Parker, "It's my right to sit on the f–king street corner and make out with my boyfriend."

I wonder, should she have just given her ID and saved herself the stress? And public sex is still illegal whether one is black or white, right?
