USAvsGhana, Iran Vs Nigeria - What Happened? See Funny Yabbis and Picture Memes

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 06:08 PM PDT


I earlier wrote that Nigeria beating Iran was a done deal, while cheering the Super Eagles, but they proved me wrong. After the match, I consoled myself saying we can manage a goal-less draw for now, but my friends on Facebook are just not happy with the performance of Nigeria Vs Iran match.

Some of those supporting all the African teams wanted to console themselves with Ghana, but the Black Stars also lost, too bad. But I am pleased with that though, I am rooting for USA going forward. I no want heart attack with the sloppy way the Super eagles are playing.

And the yabbis are just starting. Where is my American flag jare...

Couple Love - Michael Schumacher and Wife Corrina, The 'Guardian Angel' Who Saw Him Out of Coma

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 04:36 PM PDT


Formula One world champion, Michael Schumacher is no longer in a coma. After being involved in a skiing accident last December in the French Alps where he sustained severe head injuries, Schumacher was put on an artificially-induced coma while they waited and prayed for his brain to heal.

His wife, Corrina gave doctors her full support, and against all odds, believed that he would get better. Her care and prayers have paid off as he is said to be conscious and communicating now. Schumacher has now left the hospital where he'd been receiving treatment since the accident. In faith, his wife has already built a no-cost-is-too-much rehabilitation care unit at their home.

Michael Schumacher has a long road to full recovery, and I pray God will see them through, Amen.

Below is a beautiful picture tribute to his wife, whose awesome love for her husband is a big part of why he is still here with us today.


















The stunning images were taken by world-renowned European photographer, Michel Comte, and include dozens of the motor racing driver with his wife Corinna, who has been at his side throughout the six-month ordeal.

The photos which range from 2007- 2011 show the couple at their ranch in Texas, relaxing in the sun on a yacht and playing football in a field.

Schumacher and Mr Comte struck up a long-standing friendship when the photographer shot the father-of two for the book Driving Force, a photographic autobiography of Schumacher in 2003.

Away from the track those who know Schumacher describe him as 'devoted to his family and is a sensitive man.'

A few days before the skiing accident in the French Alps, Schumacher, 45, said that he and his wife of 19 years had never had a serious fight in all their married life together.

'It's because we share the same values,' he commented. 'During all the time I was racing she was my guardian angel.'


His manager released a statement saying;

'Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore. His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months. The family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes. We are sure it helped him. For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye."

PayPal Extends Payment Services to Nigeria Starting Tomorrow

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 05:34 PM PDT


PayPal is entering Nigeria this week, providing online payment alternatives for consumers via mobile phones or PCs.

Nigeria had been shut out of the payment system due to reports it is a market fraught with financial fraud. However, starting on Tuesday, consumers in Nigeria, which has 60 million users and has Africa's largest population, will be able to make payments through PayPal.

Rupert Keeley, the executive in charge of the EMEA region of PayPal, the payments unit of eBay Inc, made this announcement today.

"PayPal has been going through a period of reinvention, refreshing many of its services to make them easier to use on mobile (phones), allowing us to expand into fast-developing markets."

Once the services go live, customers in Nigeria with access to the Web and a bank card authorized for Internet transactions will be able to register for a PayPal account and make payments to millions of sites worldwide. According to Reuters;

Initially, PayPal is only offering "send money" services for consumers to pay for goods and services at PayPal-enabled merchant sites while safeguarding their financial details. This is free to consumers and covered by fees it charges merchants.

"We think we can give our sellers selling into this market a great deal of reassurance," said Keeley, a former regional banking executive with Standard Chartered Plc and senior executive with payment card company Visa Inc.

PayPal does not yet cover peer-to-peer transactions, which allow consumers to send money to other consumers. It has not yet enabled local merchants in the new markets to receive payments, nor is it offering other forms of banking services, he said.

Man Sues Hospital After Surgery For Fractured Penis Makes It One Inch Shorter

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 11:46 AM PDT


An anonymous Canadian man  is suing a hospital for $155,000 Canadian (about $142,000 U.S.), claiming negligence and "indescribable anguish". The man had fractured his penis while having sex with his wife and surgery at the hospital to correct the injury allegedly left him with a dick that was "about an inch" shorter than before.

Wondering how a penis can be fractured? Wonder no more!

A fracture can occur when there is trauma to the erect penis. If it is bent suddenly or forcefully while engorged, the trauma may rupture the lining of one of the two cylinders in the penis (corpus cavernosum) responsible for erections. The injury is often accompanied by an audible cracking sound, then dark bruising as blood escapes from the cylinder.


According to the man's lawsuit, he first went to the hospital after his injury and was told by a nurse, who did not physically examine his penis, and an off-site urologist that he wouldn't require surgery. But then, he still couldn't have sex after three months, and that was when he came back, and they finally told him he needed an operation.

However, the surgery allegedly left a "permanent scar", a continued inability to have sex, and the afore-mentioned shortened appendage.

The man, who is paraplegic, claims the experience led to the end of his marriage. He described the trauma thusly:

"This has caused a greater impact on my life than when I lost the use of my legs."

I feel for him, but surely 155,000 cannot get his wife or his former penis back?

Kenyan Football Star Makes Public Apology To Aggrieved Wife in the Local Paper

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 11:16 AM PDT


Former Harambee Stars goalkeeper Francis Onyiso has apologized to his wife for his infidelity through a paid advert in a local daily. The Kenyan footballer took the sensational route to apologise to his wife, Janet, hoping it will persuade her to forgive him.

He chose to go public with the apology, saying he was convinced that the use of the media would go along way in making the message big and convincing. The couple have been married for 20 years and have three children.

It was to repair the damage done, that Francis Onyiso took out the paid ad space on The Star, for the pain he had caused his wife and the family. See the advert below...




Mr Onyiso refused to go into the details of the problems, only saying it is "personal and between the two of them". However, rumors have it that he was caught pants down, cheating on his wife in a local hotel. It is reported that "he was caught in the act after his wife followed him and his one night stand to the local hotel on what was supposed to be a night out with his work mates."

Would you accept to make such a public apology if you were the one?

5 Signs of Desperation Dating Singles Should Avoid

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 05:03 AM PDT


It is great to be keen and enthusiastic about finding a new partner. It is also good to be focussed and committed, making time to respond to matches, going on lots of dates and blocking out time in your weekly schedule to meet new people and attend social gatherings. However, there is a point where keen starts to look more like desperate; here are five of the warning signs to stop you from slipping into that category.


1. Constant availability

Whether it's being available to chat online 24/7; responding immediately to every text and email or being free to go on a date at a moment's notice, being available all the time gives one clear message – you don't have a life. We are not advocating playing games but it is important that you give time and attention to the rest of your life – your friends, family, hobbies etc. – and make dating only a small part of the pie which makes up your life rather than the whole pie.

2. Compromising your integrity and principles

Someone who is becoming desperate will often feel they need to compromise in order to secure a lasting relationship. While it is important to be flexible and open to new possibilities – maybe dating someone who is out of your normal age range or region – it starts to look desperate when you begin to let go of deeply held principles or begin to do things that compromise your integrity e.g. sleeping with someone on a first date because you just can't bear to be single any longer.

A desperate need to hold onto a relationship can also lead to you minimising or overlooking behaviour that you find demeaning, insulting or even abusive. While you may feel that being compliant and easy going will bring you the love you want the reality is you will probably end up being treated like a doormat because it will seem as though you have no self respect. We teach people how to treat us and if you don't respect yourself it is unlikely a date will respect you either.

3. Being too agreeable – wanting to please

You may have experienced this yourself – the yes person who wants your approval so badly they will deny their own needs and feelings to get it. The trouble with someone like this is that you will never really be able to trust them or get close to them because, at a fundamental level, they are being dishonest with themselves and with you.

If you find yourself agreeing to dates that you don't want to go on, have difficulty saying no, put a great deal of effort into dates and are often left feeling frustrated and resentful because the amount of effort you put in doesn't yield the rewards you want – approval, compliments, a second date – it may be you are suffering from a disease to please which is being motivated more by your need for approval than by a genuine interest in the person you are dating.

4. A need for compliments and reassurance

It is perfectly natural to want, and need, some reassurance that a date is progressing well but it doesn't necessarily mean you have to keep asking your date whether they are enjoying themselves – trust that you will know by how they are behaving and engaging with you. If they are making conversation, laughing, and seem happy to be there, relax and enjoy yourself without overanalysing every gesture. Keep more focussed on whether you are having a good time than on trying to get into their head and work out what is going on for them.

Avoid making disparaging remarks about yourself e.g. 'I look so fat in these trousers' in the hope they will contradict you with 'No, you look great' because a compliment gained in this way not only shows your insecurity but puts pressure on the other person to say what you want to hear. A compliment that arises naturally does much more for your self-esteem. Learn how to accept a compliment graciously rather than using it as a hook to get more reassurance.

5. Getting too close for comfort

Even if all went well on the first couple of dates there is still a danger that you can appear too keen if you don't allow some space between you. Barraging someone with texts, emails, phone calls and constantly asking what they are up to can make even the keenest match head for the door. Like an over-watered plant, too much attention will kill a relationship rather than help it to grow.

As The Nigeria Plays Iran - Pictures, Documentary + Fly With The Eagles Theme Song

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 04:09 PM PDT


Football unites Nigerians like almost nothing else. As the Super Eagles play their first game at the 2014 World Cup, everyone is prepared to cheer them on from all corners of the country and the world. Friends in the UK, Germany, and here in the US are flying Nigeria's flag for this big occassion.

Here on RML, we have collected some pictures, music videos and documentaries to encourage us all. The Fly With the Eagles theme song features Waje, Bez, Flavour and Ill Bliss, and was created as a World Cup TVC by Guiness to support the Eagles to Victory!

I really love the song and I hope it lifts the Super Eagles of Nigeria and they win against Iran. It should be a done deal.




Also, NdaniTV presents 'The Rise of The Eagles'- a documentary taking us on a journey of the Nigerian Football team.

How to Be a Good Wife - Single or Married, You Must Read This!

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 12:01 AM PDT


The Good Wives Guide is another list [read the first] of ten steps on how to be a good wife, and it comes from a 1950s home economics textbook. Or Not. It is partly satire, but the truth is that it can't hurt to put some of the guidelines to use for a happy home. Am I being sarcastic? Not really, but you decide, LOL...

• Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

• Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

• Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

• Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.

• During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

• Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

• Be happy to see him.

• Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

• Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

• Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

• Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.

• Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

• Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

• Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

• A good wife always knows her place.
