ASUU Forced To Call Off Strike

A Lagos-based legal practitioner, Daniel Onwe, has dragged the Federal Government and the Academic Staff  Union of Universities, ASUU, before a Federal High Court in Lagos, southern Nigeria, over the lingering crisis between the two bodies which has led to the closure of public universities in the country since 1 July.

In a motion dated 30 September, 2013, Barrister Onwe is seeking an order of court to compel ASUU to call off the strike it embarked upon in protest over the unwillingness of government to implement certain aspects of the agreement they reached over the parlous state of Nigerian universities and other issues.

In a 15-paragraph affidavit filed along with the motion, Onwe is asking the court to declare that the indefinite strike embarked upon by ASUU, leading to the closure of government owned universities for three months, violates the fundamental rights of the students affected.

He argued that the continued strike action by ASUU has traumatized many students who now engage in all sorts of vices.

Onwe posited that the plight of the affected students has worsened as their contemporaries in private universities continue to attend lectures while they remain idle at home.

He urged the court to compel ASUU to open the universities for lectures to resume while their negotiation with the Federal Government continues.

No date has been fixed for hearing of the suit.

10 Ways To Make Women Want You

Here are 10 most important things you need to know about how to get women:

1. See a girl, move your feet

The man usually makes the first move. Even if she’s interested in you, the most she’s likely to do is to stand near you or make eye contact a couple times to encourage you to approach her.

Once you see her, don’t hesitate. 10 minutes from now she might not be there or another guy might have beaten you to the punch. Plus, women can tell when you’re working up the courage to approach. Shyness might be endearing in movies and romance novels, but it doesn’t work in the real world. Approach right away, even if you don’t know what you’re going to say (we’ll cover that later).

2. Attraction before comfort

Men who don’t know how to get women often ask her lots of questions hoping that they’ll stumble on something they have in common.

Sometimes this can work, but usually not. Until she has a reason to care about what you think of her, you’re just another random guy asking her the same questions every other random guy asks her. What you can do is to tell her (or better, show her) something interesting about yourself first. When she gets curious about you, she will start with the questions.

This is especially important in terms of how to get beautiful women. Hotter women usually get approached more and have less tolerance for the usual “random guy” questions.

3. Statements, not questions

This is connected to the last point. Questions contribute nothing to a conversation and tell her nothing about you. Too many questions makes it feel like a job interview.

Never ask two questions in a row. Statements can often replace questions. Instead of asking where’s she’s from, tell her where you’re from and she may respond in kind. Or guess where she’s from. It doesn’t matter if you are right; either way it’s more interesting than yet another factual question.

4. Playful, not serious

Fun and playful works much better than serious and deep.

Even serious women go out because they want to relax and have fun. There’s a time and a place for being serious and deep, but it’s not within 15 minutes of meeting her. Smile, laugh, and don’t take everything too seriously.

5. Be a challenge

Men who are experienced in how to get women know that you can’t make it too easy for her. If she knows that she can have you before she’s done anything to deserve your attention other than being pretty, then she might be flattered, but she won’t be attracted.

Even if you approach her with a compliment, which is something that is often done in day game, let this mean that she has your curiosity, not your undying love. Don’t give her compliments she hasn’t earned.

6. How you dress is your identity

Attractive women get hit on so much that they don’t have time to get to know every single man who wants to talk to her. Within 30-90 seconds, she’s going to decide if you’re a “maybe” or a “no.” A lot of that comes from how you dress.

It’s not just being fashionable. It’s about projecting who you are. Mixed messages are confusing and make women think you’re trying to hide something or be someone you’re not. Lawyers don’t wear ripped jeans. Musicians don’t dress like accountants. Fun, confident men don’t dress to blend in. And so on.

7. Touch early, touch often

You can’t talk a woman into bed or into a relationship. So if you’re wondering how do you get a girl interested in you when nothing you say seems to be working, the problem might be with your hands more than your words.

Touch her (appropriately – hands, shoulders, etc.) as soon as you meet her and slowly escalate the duration and intensity of each touch. Give her time to get comfortable with your touch – if she’s not comfortable holding your hand, she’s definitely not going to be comfortable being sexual with you.

8. Use your 'balls'

Playing it safe will never get you the girl. Women appreciate confidence, boldness, and persistence. Make the first move. Some women may like you but still want you to work for it. And don’t whine because you’re going home alone if you never tried to get her to come home with you. Like hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky said, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

9. The first thing you say doesn’t matter

 There is no such thing as a pickup line that will help you learn how to get women. The only purpose of your ‘opening line’ is to start a conversation.

You can try something fun like asking her and her friends to settle an argument between you and your friends, like “Is it OK to break up with someone by text message?” or “Do Drunk ‘I Love You’s’ Count?” Run with it for 30-60 seconds, then change the subject to something else. Congratulations – you’re in the door!

10. Be man enough to get help

Men aren’t “supposed” to seek out advice on how to get women or ask their friends how do I get a girl. We don’t sit around analyzing each other’s relationships.

Still, picking up beautiful women is a skill that anyone can learn with enough time, practice, and access to the right resources.

PHOTOS: 10 New Sex Positions You Should Try Tonight

Add a little more spice to your sex lives with these hot, steamy positions.

1. Reverse missionary

Straddle him with his legs together. "Some women love being on top so they can feel seductive.

Bonus benefit: You can rub your breasts on top of him.

2. Hip hugger

When you're on top, you get G-spot stimulation, plus you have more control of the rhythm and depth of penetration, deeper penetration also ups the odds of a vaginal orgasm. But in this position, with his hands guiding your hips, you can both drive the bus. 

Bonus benefit: It can be difficult for men to keep strong erections when the woman is on top but because his legs are up, he has more leverage and can give stimulation to himself when he needs it.

3. Spooning

You'll feel relaxed and ultraconnected in this loving cocoon, though it can be a bit tricky to get into. Raise your top leg and take it slow. When men have trouble getting or staying inside you, they think they're too small. So take your time and help guide him.

Bonus benefit: It's great if you're pregnant or worried about morning breath.

4. Hip flex-er

Start out supporting yourselves on your arms, then take turns: When one person leans back, the other does more work.

Bonus benefit: With this setup, women can get the kind of stimulation they want. Raise your hips and control the movement. Go deeper or more shallow. Feel your front, back, or side walls. Try thrusting or grinding.

5. Missionary - 45 degrees

Starting in the missionary position, he turns his body at a 45-degree angle. The vagina is not nerve rich. Its purpose is to birth a baby, so you don't really want too many nerves there. But you may experience more clitoral stimulation and sensation on the side of the vaginal walls, which can feel good to some women.

Bonus benefit: Try this position without penetration if you have pain or dryness issues—he will enjoy the friction of being between your legs.

6. On his lap—facing away

He sits on the edge of the bed while you, with your back to him, lower yourself down. You'll get more leverage if your feet can touch the floor. You'll both have free hands to stimulate each other. This position feels fun and young and sexy.

Bonus benefit: He's perfectly positioned to hit your G-spot and reach around to help you orgasm.

7. Standing rear entry

This position allows for deep penetration up to the cervix.

Bonus benefit: You don't need a bed—or a bedroom.

8. Intertwined

Kneeling, he straddles your left leg while you bend your right leg next to his body. You'll both feel deep penetration, plus he can free up his hands to caress and stimulate you. Both partners will find this position relaxing, and for women, more relaxation means better, easier orgasms.

Bonus benefit: Men get tired during sex, especially in missionary position. Sometimes endurance issues are for cardiovascular reasons and sometimes men can't last because they can't support themselves on their forearms and hands. In this position, he can relax and last longer.

9. Supported doggy style

Lie down with a pillow or two under your stomach so he can enter you from behind. With the added support, your lower back won't hurt.

Bonus benefit: He'll feel bigger (good for him), and the fit will be tighter (good for you).

10. On his lap—facing each other

He sits on the edge of the bed or chair while you, facing him, climb on top. Seated positions are great for G-spot and clitoral contact. Use your legs and pelvis to grind more than thrust so you can get clitoral stimulation as well.

Bonus benefit: Face-to-face sex allows for eye contact and whispering to each other, which is important for women.

-Mustapha’s RallAsari Dokubo, Bishop Kukah Shun Aly

The Two major personalities that were invited to speak at a rally organised on Saturday for Hamza Al-Mustapha were conspicuously absent at the event.

A former Niger Delta armed activist, Asari Dokubo, and influential Catholic cleric, Matthew Kukah, were absent at the Arewa Youth Unity Rally convened for Mr. Al-Mustapha in Kaduna. Mr. Kukah, according to the programme of event, was to deliver a keynote address at the gathering of youth from 19 northern states and Abuja.

Mr. Al-Mustapha was recently released from prison after the Court of Appeal ruled that he was innocent of charges of murder of Kudirat Abiola, wife of the late winner of the June 12 1993 presidential election, Moshood Abiola. The Lagos State Government has appealed the ruling.

Saturday’s much publicized rally has undergone criticism from many northern politicians who view the alliance of Messrs Dokubo and Al-Mustapha as a hidden ploy to drum up support for President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of 2015 elections. Mr. Dokubo has publicly stated his view that Mr. Jonathan must be re-elected as president in 2015 for there to be peace in the Niger Delta and Nigeria.

While addressing the several hundred youth gathered at the Murtala Square, Mr. Al-Mustapha said the purpose of the rally has been misunderstood.

“I have been misunderstood. But I want people to know that money and power is not my concern. It is God that gives power to whoever and whenever he desires,” the former soldier said in Hausa.

“Today we have over 22.5 million illiterates and unemployed youth of Northern extraction. Therefore, the teaming masses of Nigeria must be served and must be heard today. It’s God that took me to prison and not an individual. My prayer is that northern youths should know that I am a military man and I will soon retire.”

On his relationship with Mr. Dokubo, Mr. Al-Mustapha said, “When I came out of prison, the people of the South-South spoke to me on peace. Asari Dokubo’s first wife is a Fulani woman, his second wife is a Shuwa-Arab from Maiduguri, his children are from the north.

“I later understood that some few elements from the north are those planting the seed of discord against the north. Dokubo has regretted his deeds; he has apologized and has also declared his readiness to expose these elements that are bent on causing problem in the country.”

Mr. Al-Mustapha also said he was worried about the state of education in Yobe and other northern states.

“Only 30 per cent attend school in my home state, Yobe; because of poor leadership and insecurity and nobody is doing anything about it,” he said.

Steve Orji, a representative of South-East traditional rulers, described Mr. Al-Mustapha as a blessing to Nigeria including himself.

“Most of those who said you should not be here are politicians who want to continue to use you as political thugs while most of their children are schooling abroad.

“The youth should be part of bridging the unity of the nation,” Mr. Orji said.

In his speech, the founder of the Odua Peoples Congress, Frederick Fasehun, described Saturday as the happiest day of his life.

“Today is the happiest day of my life because the youth of this nation have come together to speak with one voice.

“No youth is going to remain unemployed. Those that are not employed will get money from their Local Government Areas. Nobody will remain with hunger anymore,” he said, while addressing the youth some of whom asked Mr. Al-Mustapha to vie for elective office in 2015.

JONATHAN CAN CONTEST IN 2015 - LAMIDO

JONATHAN CAN CONTEST IN 2015 - LAMIDO

Gov. Sule Lamido

Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido said President Goodluck Jonathan is free to contest the 2015 Presidential election through a fair and transparent process.

He made the comment yesterday when 50 ex-1979 legislators paid him a courtesy call in Dutse.
Lamido is among the G-7 governors who are reported to be opposed to the president standing for re-election.
But he said yesterday: “As for the government, we voted for it in 2011 and we will continue to defend, support and stand by the government till 2015. Our loyalty remains with the government. It is our government. That I can guarantee.
“But our problem is with PDP as a party as it is currently constituted. We feel that there is no due process, integrity and transparency. It is this brigandage that we are fighting and we shall fight until justice is done. Jonathan is free to contest but the process must be free and fair, credible and transparent.

6 Best Sex Positions For Intimate Passionate Love

Sex is one of the most natural ways to get closer to your partner. All of these intimate sex positions if done correctly can bring couples closer together.

According to a clinical sexologist, the sex positions below are beneficial in maintaining a longer and more passionate love making session.

1. The rocking horse position:

This is a wonderful position because the couple is face to face, kissing and slow passionate penetration can take place. The man sits cross-legged and leans back supporting himself with both arms behind him or leaning against a wall. The woman kneels over his lap hugging him with her thighs and lowers herself down at the speed and depth that she determines. This also allows her to adjust her body to him making it possible for clitoral stimulation as well. This position is wonderful for the man and woman to kiss and look at each other face to face, and have the ability to play with nipples and neck kissing.

2. The Curled Angel (aka Anjou-style) - karma sutra sex position:

The woman curls up on her side, knees drawn up and the man spoons her from behind. Penetration is fairly easy from his position and the man can reach around to touch her breast and clitoris. In this position it also good for deep penetration that can be done in a slower motion while still maintaining an embrace. This is a wonderful position for women that are pregnant. The man can in this position cuddle her, kiss her neck, ear and face while slowly and intimately making love to her.

3. The Glowing Juniper Position:

In this position the woman lies on her back with her legs open and outstretched. The man sits between her knees, facing her with his legs outstretched. He can lean against a wall or pillows for more comfort. He lifts her hips to aid penetration and at the same time he can lean down to kiss her belly, breasts and face providing his flexibility. This is a wonderfully romantic position for many couples.

4. The Rowing boat Sex position:

To get into this position the man starts by lying back so the woman can sit down slowly on to his penis. The man then sits up, bringing his knees and torso up so that both the couple is face to face and his knees are on the outside of her body. She should also have her knees bent up so her legs are outside his and she can wrap her legs around him. He slips his arms over her calves and under her knees and she slips her hands under his knees and round her thighs so that she can grip his hands. It almost looks like a rocking position. The intimate part about this position is the couple is face to face looking in each other’s eyes and being able to kiss and have a more intimate bond. The penetration is slow and rocking slighting together can create the thrusting motion.

5. The Peg - Kama sutra sex position:

The man lies down on his back with his legs stretched out for the Peg position. The woman then gets on top of him and lets him enter her. As he does so, she stretches her legs out straight behind her and starts to move back and forth as fast or as slow as she likes. It's a great position for full body contact, kissing and touching throughout. When her legs are together this also creates a tighter fit for the couple during penetration. The intimacy of her lying on top of him and being able to hug while having slow long thrusting penetration is part of the love making.

6. The Zen Pause Position:

This position provides a slower intimate moment, it can also be recommended when the man is close to orgasm and wants to slow it down for a longer love making session. When on the brink of the orgasm, take a break from a heart-pounding position and try this holding pattern. People roll onto their sides, face-to-face (if possible, he stays inside her the entire time), and this puts the passion on a low simmer with legs intertwined and chests pressed against one another. This then can allow a slower build up for both the man and the women to an incredible climax. The is a wonderful position to giving a loving tease to each other while maintaining the closeness of him inside without much move moment.
