This seems like a no-chill period for Blac as she is tryna cash out as much as possible before Rob Junior arrives (how do I know it's a boy?)LOL!
Check out her latest almost-nude photos for Elle Magazine. She also had this to say : 
"I wanted to show people my personality, that I'm not just a pretty face or what some people paint me out to be: this bad person, this stripper ho. I want them to see me as a mom, a business woman, a growing being".

These Key Pointers Could Mean You Will Be Successful In Life.

Success is something everybody dreams or aspires to regardless of the area of life. There are certain traits and behaviors you may have that can indicate if you are on the path of success in life.
1. Standing out. A person who stands out is most likely to be different from the bunch -an original. Maintaining a signature personality. Standing out determines the way you think and get things done. It separates you from every other person doing exactly or similar things to what you are doing and this has been one of the key traits of successful people.

Real Talk : What men really want.


Understanding what men want has been a lifelong question that most women have found themselves asking over and over again be it within themselves, amongst family and friends or with the opposite sex- our darling men.
Over the years I have found that some things remain almost constant with men who seek a somewhat longer relationship than a night stand or a few weeks of playing around.
Firstly, and inevitably, physical appearance is one of the magnets that draw a man to a woman. Yes they say ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ but the truth is men are first moved by what they see- ‘how does she look?’ Does she have long hair or no hair? Does she have nice skin? Dress nice? Smell nice? Gap teeth? Full lips? Killer curves or no curves? A big behind or moderate sized twins? A fine smile? Bad breathe? Etc. The list is endless…..Whatever combination of physical qualities you possess as a woman you need to ensure you look your best in the most effortless manner possible. Men are not very excited about women who try too hard.

Chibok Girls and Love in captivity.

It’s been 2 years since the Chibok girls have been abducted from their school and separated from their families and loved ones by Boko Haram.
In May one of the missing girls, Ali was found but not in the state she was abducted. She was found with child and a supposed husband.  Now, this brings us to one of the many vital questions that need to be asked since the abduction and rescue. ‘Do the Chibok girls want to be found?’ You may consider this an insensitive question considering they were taken by force and have been held captive.  We will not also rule out sexual abuse but Ali was found with a man and child outside of her home town. I am sure Ali knew where she was from and how to get home but she had to be returned.

Youth Empowerment:Employability and Entrepreneurship of the Nigerian Youth


Every year, Nigeria churns out millions of graduates from the universities and NYSC program into the work force market. It is no news that there is a mismatch between available jobs and the number of fresh graduates. Besides the obvious problem, there is also the problem of the employability of these graduates and their abilities to harness and develop their entrepreneurial skills. There remains a huge gap in what has been taught in the universities and what is required in the workplace.  
There is also need for more SMEs to spring up and flourish to buffer the imbalance in jobs available and job seekers.
ReadySetWork is an initiative of the Lagos State Ministry of Education to proffer viable solutions to these developmental and economic problems.

Thinking Out Loud : It’s either IT or Nothing .


This may be a funny post but I believe this is something we can all relate with.
I woke up this morning very hungry and craving noodles. We all know there are different varieties and flavors. But when I say I want to eat noodles, which is usually every other week, it is one particular flavor or nothing (Does this ever happen to you?).I went into the kitchen and realized my brothers had eaten it all (The way men eat scares me sometimes… anyways that is another story for another day).

Quick Tips:How To Get That Job Interview Call You Have Been Waiting For.


I was opportuned to be at an event recently where I met a man who had applied for jobs about 500 times to no avail. He had sent his CV to about 500 companies and yet remained out of job. Is it that there are truly no jobs or his representation of his CV is not just worth an interview?
The first impression a Hiring manager gets of you as a potential candidate is all in your CV.  On the average about 500 people apply for a single role. Research shows that it takes about 6 seconds for a hiring manager to decide whether or not to continue reading your CV! How then can your CV ace this attention span?

Healthy Living:Some interesting things semen can do other than make babies .


Yes we said semen! During sexual related activities semen can be derived from a man. This can eventually translate into a baby if the procedure is done accurately.
Interesting findings are showing that other than helping in population multiplication, semen can be used for so many other shockingly beneficial reasons.

Thinking Out Loud: Single And Almost 30!

Osareti, Susan and I used to have long talks during lunch breaks about how time was moving fast and how we wanted to settle down before 30! I had been single for about 2 years, Susan had been dating for a few years. Osareti had been recently engaged and we were very excited and happy for her! Thank God one of us was off the shelf and out of stock!
It was one of those long work weeks where a TGIF was in order. Some of our colleagues had rallied round to make a hangout happen somewhere on the Island. Osareti lived far and Susan couldn’t make it. I lived close to the island so I decided I was going to stand in for our trio. I invited a neutral girlfriend- Binta to tag along. You know how we girls like to have one girlfriend to gist about the night with.

Lifestyle Monday:Tips On Having A Heathy Work-Life Balance.


Yes,it is MONDAY again!
As 9-5 workers or business owners one of the challenges we face is maintaining a work life health balance amidst tight weekly deadlines and business schedules. Except these activities keep us on the move which is dependent on our job descriptions or nature of business, most of our day is spent in sedentary sitting positions at our desks till close of business. The diet during these hours is nothing to write home about. Just shoving down all that carbohydrate and sugar in that one position except we have need to get up like a meeting or using the rest room.
If your company has a gym close by and a healthy menu with fruits and vegetables to choose from at affordable prices or company food packages, then you are blessed in your work place. Bu if not, here are some ways you can stay healthy at work:

Black Sunday : #RIPMayowa



We express our condolences to the family of Mayowa Ahmed, the 29 year old woman reportedly down with ovarian cancer, over her death. 
If there is anything her struggle and death has taught us, it is the fact that she stayed courageous till the very end and illuminates the fact that Nigerians still have a human side to them rallying to raise $100,000 in 48 hours to save her life. There remains power in unity and dedication to any task if we put our mind to it. 
 Social media and social networking was an instrumental tool to making this good deed happen and thus shows this channel can be used to propagate more good for humanity than evil.
May Mayowa’s soul rest in peace and may her family receive the comfort they need.
