Sex and Ladies!!!

SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....
(Enjoy)
 
One of the greatest headaches of many young ladies in relationship is the issue of sex. While they find themselves entangled in love, they also would not want to offend God by fornicating. Meanwhile, most young men of today are always demanding sex before marriage as a proof of love. If a lady denies her boyfriend (fiancée) sex, he tends to think she either does not love him or she is seeing another guy. And this throws the lady into so much confusion. She genuinely loves the guy but wouldn't want to give in to sex. If she denies him, she may lose him and if she gives in too she disobeys God. Sorry to our ladies. Gentleman, please know that it is absolutely a lie from the pit of hell that if your fiancée does not give you sex it shows she doesn't love you. How can you use sex as a LOVEOMETRE? Have you never slept with ladies you didn't truly love? If you haven't then let me tell you that many people are having sex with people they never love. And the men are themselves the worst culprits. If sex is a proof of love then we have to conclude that prostitutes love all the men they sleep with. If sex is a proof of love then we have to go about sleeping with our best friends and even family members to show how deeply we love them. Even married couples, do not have sex to prove their love. They rather have sex because sex is part of marriage and it is meant for both procreation and recreation - child birth and enjoyment. Don't you know that there are married couples who are not genuinely in love but they still have sex as a matter of duty or just for cover-ups?
Surely, sex plays a major role in love affairs. But Eccl 3:1 says, "For everything there is a season..." It is never the right season to have sex in a relationship. This is because sex is a blood covenant between husband and wife not boyfriend and girlfriend. Gen. 4:1 says, "Adam knew his wife". It does not say "Adam knew his girlfriend". Stop going that far with the lady. If you want to know about a woman's love for you sex is never the answer. Leave her alone to serve God right or your own sake if you truly want to marry her. Song of Songs 2:7 says, "I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelle...that you AWAKEN NOT LOVE UNTIL IT IS TIME".
The gazelle is a very swift animal. It runs at least 96 km per hour. Bible compares romance to the gazelle. If you start romance at the wrong time you may crush because you will not be able to stop it from running your life at top speed. So until you are married, don't AWAKEN LOVE. Sex has been the main reason for most broken hearts and disappointments. Sex is called love-making because it involves the body, soul and spirit. Do you want your soul and spirit to be tied to somebody who is not married to you? Can you stand the consequences, Mr. Young Man? Hear the Bible: "O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, DO NOT SPEND YOUR STRENGTH ON WOMEN, YOUR VIGOUR ON THOSE WHO DESTROY KINGS." (Prov. 31:2) Sex before marriage can destroy you, even your Christian life. The funny thing is some Brothers in Christ even worry the Sisters in Christ for sex. So God says, "My son...son of my vow". You are a son of God so don't waste your energy on women. You should rather be teaching her chastity and help her serve God well.
Seeking love from sex is like looking for Jesus in an empty tomb. Take it easy. When you marry you will be fed up with sex. Your wife will be chasing you with it and you will be running away, saying, "Oh I'm tired, why?". Take time okay, Wait patiently. It will soon be laid at your doorstep and you will notice how stupid it is to chase sex when you are not married. If you want a woman to prove her love to you, allow her some space to be herself. Do not force your will on her or control her. Her love, by nature, will push her to do things that will signal to you that you are her top priority. She will be ready to marry you, than just have fun with you. She will not be interested in you showering things on her but rather, she would want both of you to set your life and future right. She will support your dreams and visions and help you build up your Christian life. In fact, she will exhibit the spirit of humility and you will also discover she is a precious jewel in a glass jar, reserved for you alone.
So from today, even if she herself brings sex, tell her..."Do not awaken love until it is time." And if you guys love each other, plan about marrying and submit your plans to God. He will bless it and put you two together as one.. Ladies...you should also read before sending to him I wish u read all to the last.....our ladies are dying in the hands of some unmerciful men.
Sex has turned many ladies into a mystery of thinking what they feel for a particular guy is true love.

You meet a guy, he takes you out; He had a great sex with you, it was like heaven to you. He makes you feel happy because you enjoyed him so much you start assuming both of you are meant to be together as husband & wife. You start dreaming of your future with him while he's just having fun. Your feelings for him has blindfolded you from seeing things from the reality point of view. You find yourself infatuated with him just because you don't want to feel used & dumped.
Sometimes you need to sit down & ask yourself; what do i really love about this guy?
Do I see Christ in him? Is he a guy I can boldly take to my pastor? Can I introduce him as my husband to people who are responsible? You know the guy is not capable of being a good husband & father; yet you want to kill yourself because of him. But sometimes you need to differentiate between what you just feel and what you really deserve.
Don't start dreaming of your future with a guy who is just catching his fun. Don't attach a permanent feeling to a temporal person. Don't open up your heart to a guy who doesn't open his bible. Stop chasing after a guy who doesn't chase after God’s Word.
Look, maybe as a lady your lifestyle is not pleasing to God, today is your day of salvation. Don't wait till when you marry & divorce before you realize you need Jesus. You don't have to wait till when you become a single mother before you aspire to be an evangelist.

Give your life to Jesus now and He will give you a man who will take care of you. You cannot receive anything from God until you first receive His only Son because Jesus is everything that God has given for you.
Pls share with all youth on ur contact list

Give to ur female friends...Give to ur male friends..

50 cent got Nasty comments for calling Donald Trump ‘My President’

50 Cent frequently gets attention especially with his famous pettiness on Instagram, but the rapper is getting a lot of criticism from the black community for posting a selfie with, and declaring support for, Donald Trump. “Me and My President maybe, only in America,” he captioned the photo which has now drawn over 11, 000 comments.

Fans who were previously entertained with his various feuds have all ganged up against him for siding with a presidential hopeful who has been described as a ‘racist’ and ‘demagogue’.


“Your career is over,” one angry fan said.

“You are a sell out,” another added.

But what surprises many of his fans is why he would show support for Trump, who days ago ordered a young black woman to be thrown out of his rally. The lady was assaulted, shoved and thrown out like a rag. Recounting her experience later, she said she was called a ‘nigga’ and a ‘cunt’, a spectacle that went on under Trump’s supervision.
Seeing the criticism he got, he returned hours after to post new Photos of himself and other presidential hopefuls. “I made these post so you can think about it, because we all have to VOTE,” he tried to explain.

Still, the damage seems to have been done.

What do you think?

Mark Zuckerberg is now the 6th richest man in the world...from 16th in 2015

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is now the 6th richest man in the world, moving up 10 spots from last years Forbes' 2016 billionaires list of the world's richest people. According to Forbes, Mark made more than $11billion in one year, going from $33.4 billion in the 2015 ranking to $44.6 billion in the 2016 ranking. Bill Gates is still the richest man in the world. See top 20 after the cut...


From Forbes magazine...
Bill Gates remains the richest person in the world with a net worth of $75 billion, despite being $4.2 billion poorer than a year ago. He has been No. 1 one for 3 years in a row and topped the list 17 out of 22 years. (In the 30 years FORBES has tracked global wealth, only 5 people have held the title of richest person on planet; 3 of those 5 still rank among the 4 richest in the world including Warren Buffett and Carlos Slim.)
Also holding steady is Buffett at No. 3. Zara ’s Amancio Ortega moves up to No. 2 for the first time, displacing Mexico’s Carlos Slim, who slips to No. 4. Slim’s fortune fell $27.1 billion to $50 billion in the past year, as shares of his telecom business América Móvil tumbled.
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg had the best year of all billionaires. The 31-year-old added $11.2 billion to his fortune and moved up to No. 6 from 16. He and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos both make their first appearance in the top ten of FORBES’ annual ranking of the world’s wealthiest. Another first: A billionaire from China’s mainland, Wang Jianlin, whose company owns AMC Theaters and soon will own Legendary Pictures, has climbed into the top 20.

Amber Rose finally shows off her new partner, basketballer Terrence Ross

Finally, Amber Rose has let the world know who she is dating, and it turns out to be Raptors player, Terrence Ross.

Last week, Ross declared Amber Rose her Woman Crush for Wednesday, and it raised quite a few eyebrows as many people wondered why he did that, until the mother of one son shared a clip of him dunking a ball, and she gushed over him. “Yea baby!” Rose captioned the clip, adding heart-eyed emojis.

There was hope that Amber Rose and ex Wiz Khalifa would be getting back together, especially after she shared a clip of them kissing on their way back from his album listening party, but the model and actress dashed that possibility.

“I don’t want to date rappers anymore,” the mum of one told E! News’ psychic Henry Tyler, adding, “Get them away from me!”
The model has had a very bitter experience with rappers. Her ex, Kanye West, dissed her in his songs after they broke up 6 years ago. Next, the father of her son, Wiz Khalifa, who called her a ‘stripper’ after they broke up. But Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa are now best of friends and are co-parenting and supporting each other.

Today, she made the big step by showing off her latest bae, Terrence Ross. Now, we can wait to see more of them.

Breaking: Indonesia sounds tsunami warning after 7.9 magnitude earthquake hits


Indonesia issued a tsunami warning after a powerful and shallow earthquake struck off the west coast of the island of Sumatra, an area ravaged by the 2004 tsunami.

The 7.9 magnitude earthquake, which struck at a depth of 10 kilometres, triggered the tsunami alert for parts of West Sumatra, North Sumatra and Aceh, the National Meteorolgical Agency said.

The epicentre was 808 km southwest of Padang, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said. It initially put it at 8.2, then 8.1 before the final resolution at 7.9.

There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties but the shallower a quake, the more likely it is to cause damage.

Indonesia, particularly the region of Aceh, was badly hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004.

The country straddles the so-called “Pacific Ring of Fire”, a highly seismically active zone, where different plates on the earth’s crust meet and create a large number of earthquakes and volcanoes.

The 2004 tsunami claimed a whopping 230,000 lives in about 12 countries, with most of the deaths occurring in Aceh province.

Nigerian Man gets 7 years imprisonment for fake kidnapping of American woman

A Nigerian man identified as Mfon Obot Essien has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for attempting to defraud the family of one Shaliseon Warren. The man, who also goes by the aliases David Morris and Femi James, reportedly told the parents of the girl that she had been kidnapped and that the kidnappers were demanding a ransom of $7,000 USD. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arrested Essien and charged him with six count charges of fraud.


The EFCC had received a petition from the United States Department of Homeland Security in 2013 seeking their assistance to investigate a transnational criminal organisation involved in drug smuggling, money laundering and fraud activities. It was revealed during the investigation that Shaliseon had actually been arrested  attempting to smuggle cocaine out of Argentina.

Shaliseon had then planned with Essien, who happens to be her boyfriend, to call her parents and inform them that she had been kidnapped and a ransom of $7000 was demanded by the perpetrators before they could release her . The money was reportedly sent to the kidnappers’ associates in Nigeria with the following details “David Morris, 302 Apapa Expressway, Ikeja Lagos”.

However, it was later discovered that David Morris was actually Mfon Essien.

The Homeland Security agents had sought the assistance of Money gram to issue a false funds credit, which led to the arrest of the convict by the EFCC when he went to receive the money. Essien was arrested when he went to pick up the money at an Ikota branch of Access Bank Plc after identifying himself as David Morris.

Upon his arrest, incriminating documents were found in his possession, including a forged Driver’s License, bearing the name James Femi but with his picture.

Essien initially  pleaded “not guilty” to all the charges but later changed his plea on November 24, 2015. He was finally sentenced to 7 years in prison yesterday.

Mark Zuckerberg is mad at Facebook employees who censor Black Lives Matter slogans

Last week, the founder and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg warned the company’s employees to desist from defacing the Black Lives Matter slogan posted on the walls of the company’s headquarters and replacing it with ‘All Lives Matter, but the racist staff refused to heed to his warning.

Now, in a strong-worded memo he sent to his staff (which was leaked to the media by Gizmodo), Zuckerberg has strongly warned employees off silencing the voices of the oppressed, adding that the act is ‘unacceptable.’

Last week, the founder and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg warned the company’s employees to desist from defacing the Black Lives Matter slogan posted on the walls of the company’s headquarters and replacing it with ‘All Lives Matter, but the racist staff refused to heed to his warning.

Now, in a strong-worded memo he sent to his staff (which was leaked to the media by Gizmodo), Zuckerberg has strongly warned employees off silencing the voices of the oppressed, adding that the act is ‘unacceptable.’


“I was already very disappointed by this disrespectful behavior before,” Zuckerberg said in the terse memo. “But after my communication I now consider this malicious as well…This has been a deeply hurtful and tiresome experience for the black community and really the entire Facebook community.”

He then set out to educate them on why the movement, which started after the murder of Trayvon Martins, matters. “Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean other lives don’t — it’s simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve,” Zuckerberg said. “Crossing out something means silencing speech, or that one person’s speech is more important than another’s.”

Read the full memo:


“There have been several recent instances of people crossing out ‘black lives matter’ and writing ‘all lives matter’ on the walls at MPK.

Despite my clear communication at Q&A last week that this was unacceptable, and messages from several other leaders from across the company, this has happened again. I was already very disappointed by this disrespectful behavior before, but after my communication I now consider this malicious as well.

There are specific issues affecting the black community in the United States, coming from a history of oppression and racism. ‘Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean other lives don’t — it’s simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve.

We’ve never had rules around what people can write on our walls — we expect everybody to treat each other with respect. Regardless of the content or location, crossing out something means silencing speech, or that one person’s speech is more important than another’s. Facebook should be a service and a community where everyone is treated with respect.

This has been a deeply hurtful and tiresome experience for the black community and really the entire Facebook community, and we are now investigating the current incidents.

I hope and encourage people to participate in the Black@ town hall on 3/4 to educate themselves about what the Black Lives Matter movement is about.”


CNN reports that they contacted the company’s representative who confirmed the memo, but would not state if anyone has been disciplined for it.

ISIS Threatens Mark Zuckerberg And Jack Dorsey

The terror group vowed retaliation for efforts to suspend ISIS-affiliated social media accounts, Vocativ discovered


ISIS threatened Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey on Wednesday with promises that its hackers are fighting back against efforts to wipe social media platforms of accounts promoting terrorism, Vocativ discovered.

A 25-minute propaganda video showing pictures of Zuckerberg and Dorsey covered with bullet holes was uncovered by Vocativ deep web analysts on the social-media site Telegram, which ISIS frequents. The video is titled “Flames Of The Supporters,” and ends with a direct threat to the two C
EOs.


“You announce daily that you suspend many of our accounts, and to you we say: Is that all you can do? You are not in our league,” text on the video clip reads. “If you close one account we will take 10 in return and soon your names will be erased after we delete your sites, Allah willing, and will know that we say is true.”


Twitter said earlier this month it suspended 125,000 accounts “for threatening or promoting terrorist acts, primarily related to ISIS.” Facebook has said that it works to ensure that terrorists don’t use the site, and that it removes content supporting terrorism.



The Islamic State isn’t taking the actions lightly. A group of ISIS hackers calling themselves “the sons of the Caliphate army” released a video on Wednesday claiming to show them hacking Facebook and Twitter accounts by changing profile pictures and posting ISIS materials and propaganda on the platforms. ISIS claims it hacked more than 10,000 Facebook accounts, more than 150 Facebook groups and more than 5,000 accounts on Twitter. “Many of these accounts have been given to supporters,” it says.


The video and its claims are part of the terror group’s war of words in a wider propaganda campaign that has aimed to show defiance against efforts targeting its online operations. A February report by George Washington University Program on Extremism said the amount of pro-ISIS content available on Twitter has been limited by account suspensions since last summer. Suspensions have also devastated the reach of specific ISIS-affiliated users who have been repeatedly targeted, the report said.
Over the last several months, ISIS supporters have responded to efforts to minimize its Twitter reach by moving to other platforms such as the messaging app Telegram. In the past, dating back to at least September 2014, ISIS supporters have called on “lone wolves” to target Twitter employees and even kill Twitter co-founder Dorsey.

Former MBGN Sandra Petgrave and husband sentenced to jail in the US

Former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Sandra Petgrave and her husband have been sentenced to jail in the United States for their involvement in mortgage fraud.
Petgrave won the MBGN pageant in 1992 and moved to the US where she and her husband, Chiedu ‘George’ Chukwuka, started a family and had six children – four girls and two boys.

In the statement published by the FBI, the couple were tried and indicted on fraud charges. Chukwuka was reportedly involved in fraudulent mortgage deals and property-flipping schemes that cost financial institutions over $5.8 million, between 2006 and 2011.

According to the charges presented in court:

“Chukwuka along with his co-defendants and co-conspirators, recruited straw buyers to purchase homes at a discounted price, typically a bank-owned or distressed property. The group then recruited a second straw buyer to purchase the same home at a dramatically inflated price. In turn, Chukwuka, his co-defendants and co-conspirators applied for an acquisition loan for the second straw buyer, supporting the loan application with false income, fake employment, and fraudulent net worth data.




The group profited from their scheme by pocketing the acquisition loan proceeds paid by the victim bank to the straw seller (who was the straw purchaser in the first transaction). The amount of profit was the difference between the price paid by the straw purchaser in the first transaction and the price paid by the straw purchaser in the second transaction, less transaction costs. Since none of the straw purchasers made any significant loan payments, the targeted properties usually went into foreclosure, resulting in over $5.8 million in actual losses to financial institutions between 2006 and 2011.”


Chukwuka has been sentenced to serve nine years in prison and three years of supervised release. He is also ordered to pay a restitution in the amount of $5,868,243.80. Hi wife, Sandra Petgrave, pleaded guilty to being a co-conspirator, and was sentenced to one year and six months in prison, plus three years of supervised release. She has been ordered to pay $1,051,970.77 in restitution.

Google's secretive 5G internet drone tests revealed

Trials at New Mexico’s Spaceport Authority are using new millimetre wave technology to deliver data from drones – potentially 40 times faster than 4G

Google is testing solar-powered drones at Spaceport America in New Mexico to explore ways to deliver high-speed internet from the air, the Guardian has learned.

In a secretive project codenamed SkyBender, the technology giant built several prototype transceivers at the isolated spaceport last summer, and is testing them with multiple drones, according to documents obtained under public records laws.

In order to house the drones and support aircraft, Google is temporarily using 15,000 square feet of hangar space in the glamorous Gateway to Space terminal designed by Richard Foster for the much-delayed Virgin Galactic spaceflights.

The tech company has also installed its own dedicated flight control centre in the nearby Spaceflight Operations Center, separate from the terminal.

Based out of the site near the town called Truth or Consequences, Project SkyBender is using drones to experiment with millimetre-wave radio transmissions, one of the technologies that could underpin next generation 5G wireless internet access. High frequency millimetre waves can theoretically transmit gigabits of data every second, up to 40 times more than today’s 4G LTE systems. Google ultimately envisages thousands of high altitude “self-flying aircraft” delivering internet access around the world.

“The huge advantage of millimetre wave is access to new spectrum because the existing cellphone spectrum is overcrowded. It’s packed and there’s nowhere else to go,” says Jacques Rudell, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle and specialist in this technology.
However, millimetre wave transmissions have a much shorter range than mobile phone signals. A broadcast at 28GHz, the frequency Google is testing at Spaceport America, would fade out in around a tenth the distance of a 4G phone signal. To get millimetre wave working from a high-flying drone, Google needs to experiment with focused transmissions from a so-called phased array. “This is very difficult, very complex and burns a lot of power,” Rudell says.

The SkyBender system is being tested with an “optionally piloted” aircraft called Centaur as well as solar-powered drones made by Google Titan, a division formed when Google acquired New Mexico startup Titan Aerospace in 2014. Titan built high-altitude solar-powered drones with wingspans of up to 50 metres.

Emails between Spaceport America and Google project managers reveal that the aircraft have exclusive use of the Spaceport’s runway during the tests and will even venture above the neighbouring White Sands Missile Range.

Google spent several months last summer building two communication installations on concrete pads at Spaceport America. Project SkyBender is part of the little-known Google Access team, which also includes Project Loon, a plan to deliver wireless internet using unpowered balloons floating through the stratosphere.

One of the millimetre wave transceivers was located near Spaceport America’s Spaceport Operations Centre (SOC), and the other four miles away at the Vertical Launch Area (VLA), although Google’s plans did not involve any rockets. Google also established a repeater tower and numerous other sites around the Spaceport, presumably to test millimetre wave reception.

Both installations have cabinets full of computer servers and other electronics, while the pad at the SOC required a concrete base to support a dish antenna nearly eight feet across, according to a separate filing with the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC).
Work did not proceed smoothly, however. At one point in late August, a lorry showed up at 10.30pm, causing the Spaceport America team to complain to Google: “We have no loading dock and no means to remove a pallet … from the middle of the truck.” The lorry was turned away without making its delivery.

Later, components were installed upside down or supplied by Google without the necessary shelves, nuts and bolts. Near the end of the build in October, Mike Bashore, information systems manager at Spaceport America, even emailed to his Google contact, “We want to run out to Home Depot for grounding straps.” These are needed to protect sensitive electronics from static electricity. The nearest Home Depot hardware shop is over 100 miles from the Spaceport.
Google is not the first organisation to work with drones and millimetre wave technology. In 2014, Darpa, the research arm of the US military, announced a program called Mobile Hotspots to make a fleet of drones that could provide one gigabit per second communications for troops operating in remote areas.

Google has permission from the FCC to continue its tests in New Mexico until July. Spaceport America will be glad of the $300,000 SkyBender tests, as Virgin Galactic virtually mothballed its terminal following the 2014 crash of its prototype SpaceShipTwo vehicle in California. Christine Anderson, chief executive officer of Spaceport America, admits that the facility is now running out of money.

“We are transitioning to supporting all aspects of the spaceport from our operational budget, as the [state] bonds have been spent except for the amount reserved for the southern road,” she wrote in a blog post earlier this month. “We are asking the legislature for $2.8m ... We appreciate that our request is a lot of money, but we also feel that it is a relatively small amount to protect the state’s $218.5m investment already made in the new and exciting commercial space industry.”
Google is paying Virgin Galactic $1,000 a day for the use of a hangar in the Gateway to Space building, but had to split its SkyBender tests into two separate flight campaigns to ease Virgin Galactic concerns. An unnamed Virgin Galactic executive emailed Anderson before the tests to note: “We will be arranging numerous activities around these occupancy periods, which would be impacted if there was any [timing changes].” Google also had to promise not to take any photographs inside the building.

Anderson expects Virgin Galactic to unveil its new SpaceShipTwo at the Spaceport in February, and to begin flights there in 2018.

Google declined to comment.

No apology to Trump over ISIS comment says Clinton


Hillary Clinton will not be apologizing to Donald Trump for her comment that he has become the Islamic State's "best recruiter," her campaign said Monday.

"Hell no," said Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon. "Hillary Clinton will not be apologizing to Donald Trump for correctly pointing out how his hateful rhetoric only helps ISIS recruit more terrorists."

Trump had said he would "demand" an apology from Clinton for her claim about the Islamic State, telling NBC's TODAY show. "She lies about emails, she lies about Whitewater, she lies about everything. She will be a disaster about everything as president of the United States."

Trump has called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States until the government gets a better handle on the terrorist threat.

During Saturday's Democratic debate, Clinton said the U.S. needs to make sure that "the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world don't fall on receptive ears. He is becoming ISIS's best recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists."

While counter-terrorism analysts say the Islamic State could use Trump's comments to support their claim that the West is waging war on Islam, fact-checkers say there is no evidence of any ISIS videos featuring the Republican front-runner.
