I've never had sex for almost six years- Brandy

Brandy in a recent interview, admitted she hadn't been intimate with a man for six years.

"I haven't been with a man seriously and in love in six years. And, honestly, I tend to abstain if I'm not in a relationship," Brandy says.

Although it hasn't actually been a full six years, the singer says, "It's been a long time. We're talking years."
There was a time when Brandy had a thing for rapper Flo Rida. "I was very interested in him. I mean, how can you not be -- he's very attractive. But there was just something about us that didn't click."

Brandy has tried getting back in the dating game, though. "I actually went on a blind date a couple months ago that was very interesting but nothing serious."

Men-22 Common Fashion Mistakes to Avoid

1. Wearing clothes that don’t fit

 Overly baggy clothes will make you look you’re wearing sloppy hand-me-downs. If your body type makes it hard to find well-fitting clothes off the rack, make your tailor your best friend. There's no crime in reshaping or giving your clothes fitting after they are bought. Sometimes when l see a nice shirt that is oversize l do buy it, then take it to my tailor to reshape it to my size.

2. Short sleeve shirt with a tie – Unless you work for a fast-food joint – where sleeves get dirty making sandwiches – avoid wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie. They are generally perceived as lower class apparel. If you want to stay looking professional and

Make Money with Writing Articles, Blogging, and eBay

I'm going to show you three quick and dirty ways
 to make income online, by working as much or as
 little as you want, from anywhere in the world,
 whenever you choose

 Freelance Writing

 Online freelance writing jobs are plentiful, if
 you know where to look and can distinguish the
 legitimate opportunities from the potential scams.


 Most people don't have a clue about the wide
 variety of writing opportunities available to them
 all over the Internet. These include writing
 simple articles, press releases, and even complete
 e-books.

 Some clients pay upfront for your material,
 offering a certain amount per word or per
 assignment. Others will pay you per the hour for
 other writing and publishing related tasks such as
 proof-reading and editing web content.

 Freelance writing networks such as "The Freelance
 Writing Jobs Network" are a great place to start
 looking for writing jobs and advice. And then
 there are what I call "freelance matchmaking"
 sites or "job boards" like Elance.com and
 Freelancer.com.

 On these sites, almost every day, thousands of
 businesses post various types of writing projects,
 gigs and requests. If you get aggressive in
 applying for these open spots, then there's a
 virtually unlimited supply of writing
 opportunities that can make you money relatively
 quickly.

 When starting, reply to as many project requests
 as possible, offer to work at a reasonable rate
 (but not dirt cheap), and be quick and responsive.


 Landing that first gig is always the hardest
 step, but once you've built up a portfolio and
 some clientele, you'll get more and more
 consistent work.

 The key to making money with freelance writing is
 to quickly produce as many quality pieces as you
 can for your portfolio, and then use job boards
 and social networking strategies to promote your
 writing. The more traffic you get to your online
 work, the more companies you'll have approaching
 you to write for them.

 Here are some additional tips when setting up
 your portfolio:

 1. Set up a professional web page with your
 resume, contact information, and some writing
 samples.

 2. Establish yourself as a reputable, talented
 freelance writer by submitting only your best
 quality work to potential clients.

 3. Network with other busy writers who may be
 able to send extra work your way. Participate in
 writers forums by writing useful comments and
 including links to your website and online work.

 Making Money with eBay

 If writing is not your thing, then hop on over to
 ebay.com and you can start selling almost anything
 you can imagine within just minutes.

 Imagine having access to 100 million
 cash-spending buyers. That's exactly the kind of
 gold mine that's waiting for you on eBay. It has
 over 100 million registered users, all of whom are
 out there shopping for great deals.

 To become a successful eBay seller, first you
 must first figure out what to sell. You can sell
 your own items, check out trade shows in your
 local area, or search online directories like
 Doba.com and Alibaba.com to find hot products.

 Here's how to get the most out of your ebay
 listings and auctions:

The 'Ember' Months Evil

Robbers disguised as commercial bus drivers have resurfaced in Lagos with the 'ember' months

An Ikeja-based trader, Deji Morufu, on Tuesday, spoke of the activities of ‘one-chance’ drivers on the Ikeja-Ojuelegba axis of the Lagos metropolis. ‘One-chance’, as they are called in Lagos, are commercial buses used by robbers where a few of them disguise as passengers. Unsuspecting commuters who get on such buses are mugged.

Morufu attributed the new wave of ‘one-chance’ operators on the Ikeja-Ojuelegba route to the ember-months when people usually go out to make money at all costs for Yuletide celebrations.

Breaking News: Popular Actor, Baba Suwe, Caught with Cocaine

Baba Suwe

LAGOS — Nollywood actor and veteran comedian, Alhaji King Babatunde Ayinla Nurudeen Olasunkanmi Omidina, a.k.a. Baba Suwe was arrested Wednesday night, for possession of substances suspected to be cocaine by the officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)......

Baba Suwe was picked up at the International wing of the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos, by the NDLEA officials, while boarding an Air France flight to Paris, France.

NDLEA sources revealed that Baba Suwe was on his way to Paris to act as a master of ceremony in a naming ceremony of an Air France staff scheduled for tomorrow.

Immediately he was arrested, NDLEA source disclosed that the Air France staff was also picked up.

The scanning machine at the airport detected suspected substance hidden in Baba Suwe’s stomach, but the suspect was alleged to have denied that such drug was on his person.

A second scanning proved that he was carrying the said suspected substance and this led to his immediate arrest. He would remain at the NDLEA office at the airport until he starts excreting the drugs.

A source in the anti-drug agency said the suspect has already excreted some of the drugs he ingested but a large quantity was still lodged in his system as at yesterday. The source said the suspect was therefore given some tea to drink which would enable him excrete the remaining drugs while he has been placed on what he described as observation.

Reacting to the sad news, the National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria(AGN), Mr Segun Arinze described the act as “an embarrassment to the Nigerian motion picture industry.”

“It is a sad development I must tell. If truly he is arrested in connection with drug, he has come to the end of his career. I feel highly disappointed in him”.

“We cannot destroy the image we have built over the years because of the material things of life. We will meet with the executives of the Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners(ANTP) and decide on what to do with him,”Arinze reacted from America.

Also, notable film director and producer, Lancelot Imasuen and president, Association of Movie Producers (AMP) Paul Obazele respectively condemned the act, describing it as “tarnishing and one that will not do the image of the industry any good.”

“We are disappointed, it’s annoying. I’m short of words, Baba Suwe is an icon and everybody looks up to him in the industry’, Paul Obazele said, while adding that “it is not good news at all.”

Biography of Steve Jobs,1955-2011

    Apple Co-founder and Chairman Steve Jobs 

     1955-2011

Epitome

Steve Jobs was born February 24, 1955, to two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave him up for adoption. Smart but directionless, Jobs experimented with different pursuits before starting Apple Computers with Stephen Wozniak in the Jobs' family garage. Apple's revolutionary products, which include the iPod, iPhone and iPad, are now seen as dictating the evolution of modern technology.


His Early Life

Entrepreneur. Born Steven Paul Jobs on February 24, 1955, to Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave their unnamed son up for adoption. His father Abdulfattah Jandali was a Syrian political science professor and his mother Joanne Simpson worked as a speech therapist. Shortly after Steve was placed for adoption, his biological parents married and had another child, Mona Simpson. It was not until Jobs was 27 that he was able to uncover information on his biological parents.

As an infant, Steven was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs and named Steven Paul Jobs. Clara worked as an accountant and Paul was a Coast Guard veteran and machinist. The family lived in Mountain View within California's Silicone Valley. As a boy, Jobs and his father would work on electronics in the family garage. Paul would show his son how to take apart and reconstruct electronics, a hobby which instilled confidence, tenacity, and mechanical prowess in young Jobs.

While Jobs has always been an intelligent and innovative thinker, his youth was riddled with frustrations over formal schooling. In elementary school he was a prankster whose fourth grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high school—a proposal his parents declined.

After he did enroll in high school, Jobs spent his free time at Hewlett-Packard. It was there that he befriended computer club guru Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was a brilliant computer engineer, and the two developed great respect for one another.

Apple Computers

After high school, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Lacking direction, he dropped out of college after six months and spent the next 18 months dropping in on creative classes. Jobs later recounted how one course in calligraphy developed his love of typography.

Death: Apple Lost Co-founder Steve Jobs, Aged 56

When the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was announced last night, it brought about a spasm of grief especially over twitter and facebook. Writers, actors, musicians, your friends, comedians ... the genuine sadness was palpable, not only because he was 56 years old, but because so many saw the news while holding one of his products in their hands.
In a tribute made by President Barack Obama, it says:

The world has lost a visionary and great American innovator. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it, he said in a statement.

 A further statement from the company reads:

 "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve."

"His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."

 Obviously, Steve did a great job. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Abdulmutallab Outburst In Detroit Court

Abdulmutallab, 24, is the latest foreign radical to be tried in a U.S. courtroom under American laws they reject. Zacarias Moussaoui, an associate of the Sept. 11 plotters, bragged on the witness stand in Alexandria, Va., of his desire to kill Americans. Shoe bomber Richard Reid in Boston threatened the destruction of the United States. Both were given life in prison — the same fate that could await Abdulmutallab.


On Christmas Day 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab flew into Detroit allegedly trying to detonate a bomb in his underwear in what authorities said was a terrorist mission inspired by Anwar Awlaki, a U.S.-born Muslim radical killed last week in a U.S. missile strike.
