Love is blind – especially when you're head over heels. But real danger could be lurking behind the flowers. Abuse comes in many forms (emotional, sexual and physical). For an abuser, relationships are about control and possession and jealousy, but never love. You may be able to escape and spare yourself a broken heart and a black eye if you look out for the following warning signs: Too much, too soon You've known the guy for less than a few weeks and he is starting to talk about moving in together, or marriage, or about kids. You feel flattered, but pressurised, and he keeps pushing. If he's pushing for commitment long before you're ready to do anything of the kind, this guy is mightily insecure and is looking to formalise your relationship to give him a sense of worth and accomplishment and ownership over you. For him, this is not about your happiness Heart-lung machine He wants to be with you all the time, and if you want to spend some time with your friends, he tags

He called on the Federal government and the National Assembly to speed up the process towards the immediate passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, which has been pending passage for the past two years.

One Aminat Akani has been arrested for drowning a four-year-old child, Nofisat, the only daughter of her lover, Moshood Mubo. The 24-year-old suspect told Sun news that she killed the baby to teach her lover a lesson. She accused him of getting her pregnant without providing for her and her child, Yussuf. Born and bred in Ibadan, Oyo State, Aminat was said to have lured her lover's two kids, Nofisat and Lateef, to her house in the Orile area of Lagos when her lover and father of her only child, Yussuf refused to give her money for the recent sallah celebration.

She was arrested on October 9, 2014 by the police when relatives, who knew that the children were missing, spotted her in the mar­ ket while she was about to sell off the second child, Lateef.

Subscribers to the telecommunications service provider, MTN Nigeria will, as from Friday (tomorrow), have the opportunity to recharge their phones for as low as N10. The Chief Marketing Officer of MTN, Bayo Adekanmbi, revealed this in a statement on Thursday. The statement quoted Adekambi to have said that the initiative, to be launched in Kano, was to ensure that no Nigerian was shut out of the values that the network offers.

Again, everyday people such as Maishayi, neighbourhood stalls, housewives, students, etc would also benefit immensely from this proposition."

The Smoocher Ever been walking down the street minding your business, and heard the sounds of a man's chapped lips coming together to get your attention? If you have, you probably know how annoying and degrading that sound of a man sucking in air is in your ear. If a man can't open his mouth and use syllables and words, he's definitely not serious, nor worth stopping for. Keep those feet shuffling and play as crazy as possible. The Guy Who Wants to Be Your "Friend" So Bad It's one thing to pursue a person not knowing up front what their relationship status is, but once you know, any person should be mature enough to know when to step off if that individual has got a significant other. Even if they're lying about it to be left alone. There's nothing worse than telling a guy you have a boyfriend, hoping his pursuit of you will stop, only to have him bog you down with lines about how you should take his number so you can call him about, and I quote: "

President Barack Obama is sending up to 1,500 more soldiers to Iraq to train Iraqi and Kurdish forces to fight ISIS, in a deployment that would almost double the total number of American troops there to 2,900. The White House said in a statement that it will also ask Congress for another $5.6 billion to fund the fight against ISIS. The troops will not have a combat role, and will operate from bases outside Baghdad and Erbil. To date, Anbar province and Taji district have been considered as two likely locations for operations centers outside of Baghdad and Erbil. CNN reported last week that the military was preparing plans to deploy U.S. advisers to Anbar, much of which is under the control of ISIS. "The President took these decisions at the request of the Iraqi Government and upon the recommendation of Secretary Hagel and his military commanders based upon the assessed needs of the Iraqi Security Forces," the statement said. "We believe this request

Nigeria's home-based Eagles defeated Ghana U23 1-0 in an international friendly played to commission the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, Uyo on Friday night. A first half header from Emem Eduok was all the Super Eagles, handled by Daniel Amokachi, needed to get past the Black meteors who had boasted of their intention to spoil the party. The Eagles began the game on a bright note as they got a corner after goalkeeper Richard Ofori deflected Osaguona Ighodaro's effort. The resultant kick, taken by Gbolahan Salami, was blown away. For the first ten minutes of the game, Nigeria dominated but despite their string of passes, they could not break down the defence line of the dogged Meteors. Nigeria's first real chance came in the 13th minute when Eduok broke free from the right but goalkeeper Ofori was well positioned to foil the imminent danger. Daniel Amokachi's men continued to dominate with Solomon Kwambe shooting from long range with his effort cleared for a corner kick
