Lost a woman i was in love with because of my lack of communication and my insecurities. Fellas if ur insecure don't look at everything ur lady says and does. Look at what she's showing u at that moment. I lost the love I'd been looking for and life isn't the same without her in it. Communicate ur self to the woman that u love and if she loves u she will not give u a reason to be insecure. I didn't communicate like I was supposed to. And then at the end of the day she never gave me a reason to be insecure. I just lacked trust. I saw that I was falling in love and I ran from it. Don't run from the person u love fellas. It sucks to get ur heart broken but trust me I'd rather get my heart broken than to deal with the regret and thinking about the what ifs. But I do love her still and if she is happy without me then I must let her go because I do love her. And I don't know what hurt a the most. Is it that regret losing her or that she's happier without me
President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday assured Barack Obama, the American President Nigeria is making steady progress towards resolving the problem in the Niger Delta region which has led to economic sabotage on a grand scale.
During a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the 71st edition of the UN General Assembly, holding in New York, President Buhari disclosed:
"We are making definite progress on how many factions of the militant groups exist, their leadership and operational basis, and we have equally sought the cooperation of the oil majors. In a short while, I believe the issues would be resolved."
While thanking America for help rendered in the area of security through provision of armaments, training for Nigerian troops, and sharing of intelligence, which has led to the degradation of Boko Haram in the North East, President Buhari said the country was open to support in combating the humanitarian crisis currently ravaging the region.
The President said the farming season was good this year, with the prospect of good harvest, and "Nigeria is on the road to food self-sufficiency soon. We shall be able to feed ourselves, and utilize the billions of dollars spent on importing food on other productive areas."
President Buhari reiterated that his administration came to power on the tripod promises of security, battle against corruption, and revamping of the economy, stressing that there would be no let-up in fulfilling those electoral promises.
He wished President Obama a happy retirement, as he winds down gradually on his tenure in office.
Responding, the American President described President Buhari as a man of "integrity and honesty," saying: "We have confidence in your leadership. There are some difficulties you face, but this administration is willing to assist in the short time we have left. You have made real progress in defeating the brutal organization called Boko Haram, and that was achieved because of your leadership."
President Obama offered a hand of fellowship to Nigeria "in the final and comprehensive defeat of Boko Haram, resolution of the Niger Delta crisis, which would help ramp up oil production and increase revenue, resolving the humanitarian crisis in the North East, recovering stolen money, and revamping the economy."
Describing Nigeria as a big and important country in sub-Saharan Africa, the American President said his country looked forward to a framework for sustained partnership between the two nations.

As Veteran comedian Alibaba shared via his Instagram page.
In the last two days, I have listened to audio recordings of a woman who had taken venting to a
different level. It made me reflect deeply on somethings that we take for granted. Trust. Friendship. Honesty. Self respect. Moral values.
Relationships. The dynamics of sex and the consequences of loose talk. Many times, we say things because we are angry. Someone or something must have pushed you to the wall, to make you abandon decorum and throw caution to the wind. Rightly so. But after the tempest, and you calm down, sit Down and look at the damage your out burst has caused, and you realize how much of wisdom you could and should have applied. I have had my many such cases. When guys quarrel, there is so much they know, but they usually check themselves with "Akin, I'm warning you, don't provoke me". That threat is always loaded. I had gone to see a top politician in Hotel in Abuja. And out came the wife of a guy I knew very well. She was shocked to see me, but we managed to keep our surprises in check. Years later, at an event, her husband did and said some nasty things to me iro my wife and I. I walked away. His wife was with him at the time. She was later to send me a text... "Thanks for your maturity, I appreciate". Nearly everyone has some skeleton in their cupboards. The gravity is just what determines how much you will trend when it becomes public knowledge. Sadly, as celebrities, being in the eye of the storm or goldfish in a glass bowl, doesn't make our stories, no matter how inconsequential, ordinary or ignorable. So when you are sharing personal issues that you really shouldn't, trust me, if the relationship goes south, those issues, in the hands of fair weather friends, will hunt you. A lady told each curious friend a different name as her baby Daddy. That way, whenever she heard the gist, she knew who it came from. Today she is closest to the person she told one name and she never heard it repeated. People are different after you part ways. Watch how much you let other people know. It's not a crime to careful. Some people are not human when they are angry. Avoid them toxic people. Judas regretted his act. But it was done. Choose friends wisely.

Man City manager, Pep Guadiola is asking for an apology from Ivory Coast and Man City midfielder, Yaya Toure 's outspoken agent, Dimitri Seluk, regarding comments he made about him and the club recently.
Toure, 33, has made only one appearance for City this season and was left out of their Champions League squad, this prompted a response from Seluk who said Toure had been ‘humiliated’ by his former Barcelona Coach. Guardiola who felt Toure's agent was being disrespectful, says he will not play Toure until Seluk apologises.
After Yaya was left out of City's Champions League squad, His Agent Seluk said:

Guardiola who felt Toure's agent was being disrespectful, says he will not play Toure until Seluk apologises.
After Yaya was left out of City's Champions League squad, His Agent Seluk said:
'It is Pep's decision and we must respect that. If he wins the Champions League for City this season then I will travel to England and I will say on television that Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world. But if City don't win the Champions League then I hope that Pep has got the balls to say that he was wrong to humiliate a great player like Yaya.
'Yaya is a professional and so he will do everything he is asked to do. Perhaps Pep will think he is good enough to play in the final 10 minutes of a League Cup game against a third division team – and, yes, I am joking. But what I can tell you is that Yaya will spend the season at City. He will not be leaving in January. He hopes that he will get the chance to prove himself.'Explaining the reason why Toure will not be considered for Wednesday's tie at Swansea, Guardiola warned that the 33-year-old midfielder could be frozen out completely for the remaining eight months of his £220,000-a-week contract unless Seluk apologises.
'It was so difficult for me to leave him (Toure) out of the Champions League, so difficult,' said Guardiola. 'I know him and I know he's a good guy.
The day after his manager spoke and in that moment Yaya is out. Except Mr Dimitri Seluk comes back in the press conference or to his friends in the media – because he hasn't the courage to call me, he goes to the media . He has to apologise to Manchester City first of all, then his team-mates, and afterwards the trainer. When that happens Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the chance to play.
'I cannot accept as a coach every agent when his player doesn't play he goes to the media and speaks. I know how much Dimitri Seluk loves Yaya Toure. If he loves him, show me by apologising to Manchester City for what he did in the papers.
'I cannot imagine in my day when a player's agent would go to the media and speak against Johan Cruyff. Maybe it's the new era but I'm old generation, and an old generation agent has to make his players his job and the coach his job. Today agents believe they are more than they are. If you have a problem, we can talk. Until he speaks, Yaya isn't going to play.
Social media have become home to two things in recent years: memes and public shaming.
Both came into play Monday night when Donald Trump Jr. tweeted an image of a
bowl of Skittles, comparing Syrian refugees to poisoned candy. "If I
had a bowl of Skittles and I told you three would kill you, would you
take a handful?" the meme asks. "That's our Syrian refugee problem."

Police in Katsina State has arrested one Yusuf Sarkin Gida, a domestic staff of former Nigerian first lady Turai Yaradua for allegedly stealing 91 million naira from her, this is according
to a report by Daily Trust. The State Commissioner of police Usman Abdullahi, who confirmed the development today, said a formal complaint was received before his arrest.
"We are investigating, actually it will surprise you to know that the man has been serving the family for over 40 years" Abdullahi said.
The obvious conclusion: Trump shoots from the hip, responding before having all the information, while Clinton is cautious and measured (i.e., presidential). The only problem is that the clip that NBC provided is missing a crucial moment. Just
before she was asked the leading question about Trump's (factual) "bomb" comment, Clinton herself labeled both the incidents in New York and New Jersey "bombings."
before she was asked the leading question about Trump's (factual) "bomb" comment, Clinton herself labeled both the incidents in New York and New Jersey "bombings."
CNN's Jake Tapper likewise attempted to push the leftist narrative forward Sunday night in his interview with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Tapper asked Christie about the strong "contrast" between Trump's "bomb" comment and Clinton "wait[ing] hours" before commenting on the incidents. He followed up his statement by showing the deceptively edited clip of her remarks (h/t Trey Sanchez):
The Mexican president defended the positive role played by migrants in the cultures of the countries to which they travel and emphasized that the international community must improve their situation.
-"Migrants symbolize the effort that has been made to move humanity forward," he said, stressing that "movement is an essential part of being human."
-With an eye toward negotiating the global pacts on migrants and refugees that
will take place in the coming years, Peña Nieto said that a focus on human rights must be kept in mind that establishes obligations for countries along with a shared responsibility among countries of origin, transit and destination.

In addition, the Mexican leader said that those documents must recognize the contributions of migrants, contribute to eradicating intolerance, prejudices and racism and strengthen the ability of states to take care of those who arrive at their borders, among other things.
Didn't see this one coming...like what??? According to TMZ, Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt and the trigger was a conflict over their six kids. TMZ reports below...
Jolie filed legal docs Monday citing irreconcilable differences. She's asking for physical custody of the couple's 6 children. She is asking the judge to give Pitt visitation. It's significant...she does not
want Brad to have joint physical custody... only joint legal custody.
Sources connected with the couple tell us ... Angelina's decision to file has to do with the way Brad was parenting the children ... she was extremely upset with his methods.
We're told there was no alleged "third person" ... her decision to file was solely over Brad's interaction with their children.
Jolie, who's being repped by disso queen Laura Wasser, is not asking for spousal support.
Jolie lists the date of separation as Sept. 15, 2016. They married in August, 2014. They've been together since 2004.

On this topic iMax9ja made a interview to find out what people of the United States says about it. See comments below
"I met a couple this week while doing a lot of running errands. The husband was a very nice man and his wife was super sweet. They seemed happy and accepting of one another. They have been together for 40+ years. While just shooting the breeze in the store, I learned she was more liberal and he was more conservative. She jokes that she does it just to give him hell. However, with all the
political talk I wonder how many relationships would really last when someone is a 'die-hard' of either side far right or far left.
political talk I wonder how many relationships would really last when someone is a 'die-hard' of either side far right or far left.
So this got me thinking, with hearing that most relationship arguments are over finances, how many are over politics? Does this really matter much on the grand scale of relationships? I know there are some real die-hards out there, I have read a lot of comments from so many various places. Some are comical, some scare the hell out of me. I know in my life I have been attracted to the opposite but it never lasted in my case. Now I feel as if I am finally attracting people like-minded to me. I would like to think I can be a compromising person, of course it depends on what. With so many different beliefs in the world from faith to politics to family to work ethic to lifestyle, it is hard to imagine even two people alike! So let's share experience when you were in a relationship that went south due to political differences, or one that went very well due to being more on the same path of political beliefs. Perhaps politics doesn't even play a role in your relationship and it doesn't get discussed at the dinner table (such as sports or religion as the quote goes). Let's keep it nice and clean please!"
CNN tut-tutted, “Typically, national political figures use caution when describing unfolding situations and law enforcement actions.” Keith Olbermann said, “Dear @RealDonaldTrump: I’m sorry the explosion in Chelsea scared you so much when
everybody IN Chelsea seems fine #YouExploitativeScumbag.” Democratic consultant John Aravosis tweeted, “Hey, there’s a surprise, Donald Trump decided to use the New York explosion to his political advantage.” Jamil Smith of MTV News tweeted, “Does everyone know how f***ing dangerous it is to say this? We here in New York don’t know what it was, but he does?...NYPD, NYFD don’t know if was a bomb in Chelsea but Trump does.” Clara Jeffery of Mother Jones tweeted, “Don’t be like Trump and spread misinformation. Nobody knows what caused Chelsea explosion. Could be gas leak or other accident.”

That narrative fell apart about two hours afterward afterward, when Hillary Clinton, while ripping Trumping for supposedly jumping the gun, described the New York City bombing as a bombing herself.
This should not be a close election, but it will be. And the reason it will be is not because of Hillary's flaws, but rather because, structurally, we've become a very polarized society," Obama said Sunday.
He continued, "If all you're doing is watching Fox News and listening to Rush Limbaugh and reading some of the blogs that are churning out a lot of misinformation on a regular basis, then it's very hard for you to think that you're going to vote for somebody who you've been told is taking the country in the wrong direction."
"And so, structurally, we already have these divisions and it's going to be hard to overcome those," Obama said.
A month ago, Donald Trump stood seven points back of Hillary Clinton in the polls. State-by-state projections gave Clinton as much as two-thirds of the
electoral college. Today, an average of recent surveys puts Trump just one point behind; the electoral college is similarly up for grabs.

What once seemed impossible — that Trump could win — is now a very real possibility: roughly two in five, according to the oddsmakers. We are staring into the abyss of a Trump presidency, and all that that would represent, for America and the world.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Saturday night he will take it as a "personal insult" if the African-American community fails to turn out for the
presidential election and encouraged black voters to support Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

New national post reports:
Sat Sep 17, 2016: JONESVILLE, La. - Sunday sermons had just ended when residents of this river town learned that a lone black gunman had killed three
police officers in Baton Rouge. Before the news could sink in, a profane message appeared on Facebook.
"Hey Mr. Bulls- president," it began. "When are you going to grow a f-ing pair. And tell it like it is. These are terrorist. That have declared f-ing war on my brother. (White police officers) enough is enough."
The author was Skylar Dore, Jonesville's white chief of police.
The post instantly cleaved the community in two. Many black residents, who make up 70 per cent of Jonesville, saw it as a racist rant. Some whites defended Dore, saying he had the right to speak his mind. Two days later, the majority-black town council fired the young chief.

There are over one billion people using Facebook (as of Nov. 2015), showing a great potential for marketers, SEO agency professionals and brands to reach their target audience. The great thing about Facebook is that it's very large and active. People log into their accounts daily to check messages, like and share posts and communicate with people and brands.

What really sets Facebook apart from the other platforms is its high-tech capabilities. One area that is worth looking into is the Facebook ads platform. This is a rich and powerful tool that can be used to get your content in front of people who are most likely to engage and convert. Paid advertising is still a thriving business, especially for brands that are serious about promoting their products and services.
But as with any PPC campaign, you need to have a strategy in place. A lot of businesses give up on Facebook ads too soon. An SEO agency that offers social media management services can help develop a strategy and implement it for you.
Companies determined to launch a successful social media marketing campaign can use the following tips.
Get to Know Your Audience
Facebook ads come with a cool feature called "audience insights", and what this allows you to do is fine tune your target audience. You select an interest your prospects have and then data will be collected, which can be used to enhance your campaign. The criteria is quite extensive, allowing you to choose demographics, gender, age, location and so on.
Check out:: facebook-155-billion potential shoppers
Create Multiple Campaigns
You have a better chance of converting prospects by targeting specific interests than grouping together multiple interests. Mass marketing rarely works, especially in today's world where consumers want to feel connected with the brands they shop with. Separating your campaigns will also give invaluable insights into who is converting.
Don't Make Too Many Changes
Keep each change to a minimal. If you change too much too quickly, then you won't be able to determine what exactly caused your campaign to improve or decline. It also takes time for the Facebook algorithm to adjust to changes, so patience is key.
Watch, Analyze and Adjust
Keep a close eye on the analytics to see what needs to be changed. Pay attention to the age, gender, devices and regions of conversions. Also, there is an ad relevance score provided which tells you on a scale of 1 to 10 how relevant your ad is to the target audience you've selected. SEO agency professionals are fairly familiar with Facebook ads and can help you with learning the algorithm and A/B testing your ads.

More often than not, writers can earn their main incomes from offering freelance services related to writing. It's not a bad gig also to offer your writing service at fiverr for as little as $5 to people who need written articles for publications, leading to accumulating more money.
Growing number of websites online need an ever increasing amount of material to improve sites making now one of the best times in history to be a freelance writer - at least in terms of work available.....

It has also become fairly easy to reach out and make yourself known as a freelance writer - writing a blog post once a week that would be of interest to the sorts of clients that would like to work with can bring you plenty of money without much more marketing.
What Writing Service Are You Offering?
The variety of writing work out there is incredible. You can get project writing copy for websites, writing annual reports for companies, writing blog posts and just about anything else out there that involves lining up works in a row.
You can also earn a living offering services related to writing. You can provide coaching for other writers, offer editing or research, offer project management for big writing projects without actually doing the writing.
That does mean, though, some point, every writer offering services has to sit down and decide exactly what sort of services he or she has interest in offering.

There are specialized skills that go along with different types of writing. The techniques you need to write successful greeting cards are very different from the techniques you need to write successful articles optimized for search engines, hence a great consideration need to be taken.
One of the consideration when it comes to offering writing services is that, without some careful planning, there isn't a clear career plan. You start writing and then raise your rates on a regular basis because ten years down the road you will still be writing and may not be able to increase your rates owing to the fact that there aren't any clients available to pay higher prices.
Nevertheless, the aforementioned guide doesn't mean that being some sort of writing service provider is a dead-end-path. It just means that a little thought is necessary to make sure that you're building up a career, rather than just earning money in the short-term.

Like many careers, a lot of future opportunities focus on going into management: creating an agency, for instance, where you manage projects ( and do some writing) and have a team of writers who do the lion's share of the work.
There are plenty of other options, but most will require you to give up a purely service-based approach.
The key, though, is to refrain from thinking of yourself as just a freelancer. Think of yourself as a business owner - someone with a future booming enterprise that needs to grow rather than someone who just happens to earn money by writing.

It's tempting to tell yourself that you'll just look for higher-paying clients, but the market tops up: big corporations have set amounts that they typically expect to pay for freelancers.
Their most valuable projects are high-paying, not just because of higher rates, but because of the sheer amount of work involved, making it harder for an individual writers to take on.

THE IDEA SEEMS so obvious once it occurs to you:
Why don’t I make a comfortable passive income selling things online? Why, I could even do that kind of work from the comfort of my own home!
After all, starting an online store today has become simpler than ever. You don’t need to build a
website or an online shopping cart yourself — a cloud-based company such as Big Commerce can handle that for you. Marketing? Try Google AdWords. Selling? Through Amazon and eBay, I can reach hundreds of millions of customers with a click.
website or an online shopping cart yourself — a cloud-based company such as Big Commerce can handle that for you. Marketing? Try Google AdWords. Selling? Through Amazon and eBay, I can reach hundreds of millions of customers with a click.
OK, I’ve got all the computer stuff covered. But what about the stuff stuff? Don’t worry! A plug-and-play third-party logistics provider such as ship wire will store your inventory in its own warehouses, connect with the least expensive parcel carriers and send your customers’ packages on their way. Don’t have anything to sell? Not a problem! Just decide what you want to sell, connect with a drop shippers who takes on all the inventory risk and costs for you and start stumping for clicks!
Of course, you’ll still have to spread some of your own money around to get started, won’t you? Maybe not: As Reuters first reported, eBay-owned PayPal (which would be happy to process payments for your new business) is ramping up its plans to . A U.K. pilot program for lending money to eBay sellers has ended and bigger rollout plans are in the works, while testing will soon be coming to the U.S. And the best part, according to the company: In the U.K. pilot program, instead of having to make regular monthly payments no matter how well (or badly) your business was doing, repayments consisted of PayPal taking a cut of any sale.
And PayPal isn’t alone. Amazon already offers financing to its third-party sellers. And Atlanta-based startup Kabbage just closed $75 million in debt financing to offer cash advances ranging from $500 to $50,000 to fledgling e-commerce entrepreneurs.
If I sound a little snarky about all this, that’s because getting started in e-commerce requires the same degree of eye-rolling skepticism demanded by any promise of friction-free riches. Just Google “start an online store” if you doubt me. You’re immediately pulled down into a cesspool of content-farm swill deploying rhetoric worthy of the multi-level marketing pitches you find tacked to telephone poles. If it’s this easy to gin up a moneymaking online store, then everybody will be doing it. And I’m sure economists have a formula that tells us just how inversely proportional “everybody doing it” is to the value added by (and money made by) each additional sucker who joins the mob.
That said, the opportunity presented by the sheer number of services available to a retail business purely through the browser is seductive. If you have a product that people really want, or have some cool, original ideas about how to sell cool, original products that other people are making, the escape velocity required to turn that idea into a genuine business is lower than ever. Forget software as a service. Welcome to the age of stuff as a service.
