WARNING! Beware of the New Kidnapping Tactic in Nigeria That Uses Children

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 06:02 PM PDT


If you see any child crying on the road showing his/her address and asking you to take him/ her to that address, PLEASE DO NOT take them to that address, even if you know it's just round the corner. Rather take the child to the nearest police station. You can also ask her school address and take her there.

No matter what you do, don't go to a house address if that's what is written on the paper. It seems this is the new robbing and kidnapping tactic to snare good samaritans. PLEASE SHARE this information with your family and friends....do good, but be wise as you do it. Thanks.

Omotola goes first and hard for Nigeria and Nigerians in this BBC Outlook episode where she talks about how she got into acting, her marriage, and her inclusion in Time's Influential 100 list. I love how passionate she is defending Nollywood, and how generally smart and hardworking Nigerians are.

Photo Of A Woman Pointing A Gun At A Child's Head Sparks Debate on Gun Violence

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:13 PM PDT


This Facebook photo showing a young girl pointing a gun at the face of a young child have sparked fresh debates on gun violence. After the Newton incident in which several small children were killed with guns, and as I prepare to be a parent myself, I have begun thinking of how to raise kids in a way that leaves them well rounded and healthy emotionally, knowing to avoid what is wrong, and the ways to treat others right. One of the topics that have come up is allowing children to play with toy guns.

I want to believe that is a toy gun the girl in the picture is holding. Some comments suggest she is the mother of the child, and that is a real gun. She looks too young in my opinion to be the mother, more like a young sibling. Still, questions have been raised that even if the gun is a toy gun, is it OK to be pointing it so closely to the toddler?

What do you think, is it irresponsible for parents or carers of children to allow them play with guns? This is bearing in mind the news that seems to come up almost weekly of children either shooting themselves or their siblings with real guns, and sometimes their parents or other adults. Unfortunately some of the shootings result in deaths.

Let's discuss.


Dear Myne - I Really Didn't Realise How Much I Loved Him Till I Broke up With Him

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 02:47 PM PDT


Dear Myne, My name is Alicia and I'm in my early twenties (Of course, it is not my real name). There is this friend of mine that I have been in a relationship with. He is the best guy I've ever met. Through being friends, we became more than friends. He didn't exactly ask me out, but our friendship culminated into a relationship.


Then, my parents found out about him. They were like I don't want to be useful to them and wipe away their tears. They said he was too young and not yet a man. That he would use me and dump me. They disapproved of him for me but I didn't care. I stood my ground. Afterall, we weren't doing anything wrong and our relationship was platonic. He wouldn't dare go that way and moreover, marriage was the last thing on my mind. But things got crazy so I asked him to stay away for sometime.

Three months passed and we didn't communicate nor see each other because my parents were monitoring my footsteps, calls, texts and everything. My movement was restricted. I was even beaten up. It was a horrible time for me. Recently a lot happened. My family was in a deep mess and so was I.

First, my parents are not together anymore and I don't know if they'll get back together. Then, there's the financial problems. My both parents are owing people heavily and can even be sued right now. To top it all, I don't have a job today. I resigned from my last job cos my boss was making advances at me, had similar problems with other places I worked. At least if I had a job, I would be able too help but I don't. I don't even know where my tuition fee will come from if I eventually get admission this year.

So, I was confused and I thought ending my relationship with him will actually help me clear my mind afterall what we had wasn't really a relationship since we couldn't see or talk to each other. So, the next time we chatted, I ended my relationship with him.

Immediately I made that decision I regretted it. Ever since that night I've not been able to sleep. I keep thinking about him... I just can't get him of my mind. I've not been able to face my so called problems. I guess, I really didn't realise how much I loved him till I broke up with him.

I've been trying to reach him all to no avail. He is avoiding me. I know I hurt him but what he doesn't know is that I'm hurting too. The thing is I don't even know how to face him if he eventually agrees to meet me. I really need your help. I don't know what to do.

Divorce Seems Imminent For Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 02:47 PM PDT


RML had not reported on the news of the rocky ship of Khloe Kardashian's marriage to Lamar Odom because we kept hoping it was al rumors, and the couple would work things out. However, if EOnline which is the official reporters of the Kardashian family speak on the issue, it makes things even clearer.


According to them;

"Khloé gave Lamar an ultimatum: if he didn't get help, she'd end the marriage. So far, he's ignoring her. The situation can still turn around, but at this point, divorce seems imminent."

RML hopes both of them get the support they need at this time, and there's still a way to work their marriage out.

How You Can Get Over The Heartache After a Breakup

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 05:01 AM PDT


By Sammi Robin

When your heart gets broken, there is an actual physical pain that comes along with it. I call it "the pang." You feel empty, anxious and constantly on the verge of tears, which sometimes will actually come (usually at the most inopportune times). Even if you deal with your breakup in the best way possible by keeping busy and doing your favorite things, "the pang" stays with you as this constant reminder. It seriously sucks. Have you ever heard the song "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing" by Shania Twain? I know that feeling all too well.



I wish there was pill to cure heartache. While I don't know how to eliminate it completely, having experienced "the pang" on numerous occasions, I have found some ways to lessen it. Here are my favorite tips:

1. Exercise: When trying to force myself to exercise, I always think of the movie "Legally Blonde," when Elle Woods talks about how exercise gives you endorphins and endorphins make people happy. When you feel "the pang" you definitely need some endorphins. I recommend boxing and kickboxing to knock that pang right out of your heart. A bonus is that you'll also feel healthy and look great.

2. Try Something New: I think one of the greatest things about going through a breakup is getting to reinvent yourself a little bit. Whether it's taking a cooking class, joining a soccer league, or starting a book club, it's liberating to expand your horizons and try new things. Starting a new life that has nothing do with your ex makes you feel like you're moving on and you are!

3. Eternal Sunshine his ass: Since you feel "the pang" even when you are keeping completely busy doing things that have nothing to do with him, you will really feel the pang when you are keeping in contact with him and monitoring his social media pages. The day you see that picture of him with someone else, "the pang" will hit you like an avalanche even if you've been doing really well up to that point. I say, block him. Delete him from your phone. Basically hide or delete all evidence that he ever even existed. I have an island where all of my past loves reside. It is very far away and they have no means of communication whatsoever. Also, let your friends and family know that you don't want to hear about him. Because he no longer exists.

4. Treat Yourself To A Special Pair of Shoes: Once I broke up with a guy and I bought myself a pair of silver sequined stilettos. Are silver sequined shoes the most practical choice? Not so much. Did they make me happy? Yep! Everytime I wear those sequined shoes, it's a reminder that I can still feel and look fabulous even if my insides feel like they've been ripped out. As Carrie Bradshaw said on Sex and the City "the fact is, sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes. That's why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun." And those shoes will walk you into your next relationship with a guy who actually deserves you.

5. Laugh: I think it's really important to laugh when you feel the pang. Go to a comedy show, watch the funniest movies you can think of, break out into a sporadic synchronized dance at a bar with your friends and laugh when the other patrons are like "huh?" Even when your heart gets broken, life can still be funny. Laughter really is great medicine.

The good news about" the pang" is that it will lessen over time. After a little while, you will only feel it when something reminds you of him and one day you will wake up and it will be gone completely. The bad news about" the pang" is it does really take time to feel better. It's kind of like a really long flu. So consider these steps pain relievers. They don't get rid of the flu, but they do make you feel a little bit better.
