Well, some people fear that a woman can become quite roomier down there after having a baby. Of course, pregnancy and childbirth are two of life’s experiences that women have and are never ever the same again. Indeed, experts warn that being loose down below is not the result of too much sex, as there are several causes, including menopause and ageing. As for childbirth, an obstetrics/gynaecologist, Dr. Hilda Hutcherson, assures that in most cases, childbirth will not ruin vaginas. She says, “It’s true that the pelvic-floor muscles may be taxed during a vaginal delivery, which means the opening may feel looser and sex can feel different for some women for a few months, but the vagina is an amazing, elastic organ that can stretch enough to bring a 10-pound baby safely into the world and then snap back to its normal size.” So, guys, take it easy. It’s your child she has had, right? Now, if, truly, a woman needs to be a little tighter down below for whatever reasons, here’s...

At a rally in Nashville, Trump called the ruling by U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson's freeze on his travel ban (read  here ) as “terrible” and asked a cheering crowd whether the ruling was “done by a judge for political reasons.” He said the administration would fight the case “as far as it needs to go,” including up to the Supreme Court, and added that he was persuaded by advisers and even the 9th district judges to sign a “watered-down version” of his first travel ban. Trump called the ruling an "unprecedented judicial overreach" He said: “A judge has just blocked our executive order on travel and refugees coming into our country from certain countries. The order he blocked was a watered down version of the first order.  "Let me tell you something, I think we ought to go back to the first one and go all the way”. “The danger is clear, the law is clear, the need for my executive order is clear.” "This ruling makes us look weak which by the ...

Comedy pioneer Alibaba has taken to his Instagram page to react over the 49 million naira found at the Kaduna airport by the officials of EFCC, two days ago. He wrote,  'Some time ago, I wrote about how cash movement drove up the exchange rate of the dollar. I smiled when I saw this. Not because it is amusing, but because I know that bit by bit, we will get it right. Remember when there was no BVN, monies will leave government accounts and enter a non-government account and disappear.  No traces. But not anymore. In fact, you will be amazed at the number of abandoned accounts that people have refused to verify. They can not link those accounts to their BVN. Yawa will gas. So what have they resorted to? They have resorted to hiding the monies in soakaways, Graves and tombs, abandoned buildings, etc.  Trust me, if that money had been converted to dollars, one handbag or hand luggage is all it would have required. And again, do you know how much of such cash movement ...

CAF president Issa Hayatou, head of African football's ruling body for the last 29 years will today in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, face his strongest opponent in the history of CAF presidential elections, Ahmad Ahmad of Madagascar to see who will rule football on the continent for the next 4 years. Hayatou's opponents in the last 29 years either bow out on the last day before elections due to political manipulations or are disqualified as a result of amendments to CAF statutes - but today, Ahmad Ahmad backed by Nigeria's Amaju Pinnick and other African football heavyweights has a huge chance of upsetting the status quo and starting a new era for football leadership in Africa. If Hayatou wins the election today, it will be his eighth term in office, amounting to 33 years in office by 2021 a sport leadership role equaled only by Jules Rimet, who was President of FIFA between 1921 and 1954. 53 heads of footballing nations associations in Africa who will cast their votes today,...

The photograph that led to Gurmehar Kaur being put under 24-hour police protection was taken by her best friend on a camera phone in her university dorm room. The simple colour shot shows her holding a placard saying she would not be intimidated by a rightwing group she accused of disrupting her college. Only hours after she posted the image to Facebook, Kaur, a 20-year-old English student at Delhi University, found herself at the centre of a national debate that, for weeks now, has fed television shows, news stories and editorials and has involved politicians, film stars and the former captain of India’s cricket team. The debate has thrown into the spotlight not only the issue of online abuse but also the political climate in India where universities have become key political battlegrounds and where powerful rightwing student bodies have mass political support. The story of Kaur’s domestic incarceration has its roots in a video she appeared in last year that briefly led to her...

Making people value and respect you, especially the guy you have been crushing on, takes a bit more work than jumping up and down, saying, “Pick me! Pick me!” There is a bunch of silly advice out there that involves tricking guys into falling for a version of you that does not exist. If you really want him to see you for who you are and value you immensely, you need to be what he does not know he needs. Sounds difficult, right? Some people call this the “save the day” method. I call shenanigans. Saving people is great and all, but you are not a Wonder Woman. Do not overextend yourself for someone, even when you are trying to make them see what you can deliver. That leads to a bizarre game of give-and-take, where he takes everything and you receive nothing in return. So, if you really want him to respect and value you, do the following: 1. Be comfortable in your own skin Men are attracted to women who not only have confidence but pride in who they are, where they are from, and ...

For a large part of beauty history, women have tried to hide or cover up the slightest imperfection to achieve a completely flawless complexion. But a recent beauty trend actually involves highlighting the beauty in marks on your skin. Now, women are starting to have freckles tattooed into their skin. Cosmetic tattoos are not exactly a new thing in the beauty world. Other examples of cosmetic tattoos are permanent eyebrows, eyeliner, and makeup. Over the years, the process has become very refined and now it results in a very natural look. “Freckling” is when a cosmetic tattoo artist uses semi-permanent ink across the tops of the cheeks and the nose to give you the perfect number of freckles you want. Once they are completely healed, they will look like they were softly drawn on with a pencil. Right after the treatment, the color will be stronger, brighter, and quite possibly darker than the desired color. Do not worry if it is too dark at first. The color’s intensity will dimin...

There is a higher risk of persistent erectile dysfunction (ED) among men who use drugs to treat hair loss, a research has said. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. The research revealed that exposure to hair growth drugs, which have finasteride or dutasteride as active ingredients, have greater chances of causing ED than other risk factors like diabetes, smoking, and hypertension. The study found that persistent erectile dysfunction continued long after discontinued usage of the drugs and the use of sex enhancement drugs. The study was carried out by researchers from Northwestern University in the United States. “Prior to the new study, there was no strong evidence that finasteride and dutasteride cause sexual problems that continue after men stop taking them. “Our study shows men who take finasteride or dutasteride can get persistent erectile dysfunction, in which they will not be able to have norma...

This is an article written by Ihechukwu Njoku, a freelance Nigerian writer. Please read on... Nigeria’s former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani Kayode, has made a staggering revelation on Facebook about the building that fatally collapsed within The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations premises in September 2014. According to FFK, “There are strong speculations that Prophet T.B. Joshua's church was brought down by a remote-control device and not a faulty foundation”. The famed lawyer’s shocking statement stands in contrast to the position of the Lagos State Government, which has been fighting a prolonged legal battle insisting the building collapsed due to structural faults. The Nigerian politician added that the helicopter which tragically killed Kaduna Governor Patrick Yakowa and Nigeria’s former national security advisor, Gen Azazi, in 2012 was “brought down by a similar device and by the same people”. The fiery advocate surmised that forces from within the then Nigerian P...
