Things I Learnt from Joke Silver Olu Jacob Wife

Image
Things I Learnt from Joke Silver Olu Jacob  Wife  After watching Olu Jacob's receiving his prestigious award, three things came on my mind : 1) S3x alone does not keep marriage going. Friendship and companionship keeps marriage going. The body will eventually get old and you won't have the urge for it. The children you train will eventually, leave and build their home  It will get to a stage, It will just be you and your partner. What will make it fun is the friendship. You gist together, play together, pray together and many more. 2) Marry a good woman, a good woman is everything. In the video, olu Jacob struggled to stand up, he wasn't comfortable but the hug and kisses from his wife, gave him courage and brightened his mood. 3) Treat your wife and children well because at old age, they will pay you back depending on your relationship with them   Some men tend to spend time with Friends at the bar and viewing center more than their family .

s*xtape leak : do the necessary. Any fan, friend, ex supporting u is FAKE. —kemy olunloyo advice tiwa savage.

Image
Tiwa: I have not watched the sextape. I’m not programmed to PORN😡After analyzing with Daddy Freeze, do the necessary. Any fan, friend, ex supporting u is FAKE.  1. Educate your son to avoid backlash from classmates, teachers and parents. They are laughing at him. 2. Write formal letters to your brand endorsement companies (Mostly family friendly brands) explaining what has happened (they already know) but as a PR tip(my 2nd degree) it is a necessity as they will NOT renew your contracts. This is the right time for them to DROP you. 3. Stop fighting, mocking and trolling bloggers and the blackmailer who is actually that your “boyfriend “ Set up your US tour earlier than 2022 and move on.  4. Sex tapes don’t make you famous. Stop filming intercourse moments. Kim Kardashian ended up sad and a failure at marriage. She ended up divorced from 3 husbands. I’ve never been married, it’s a choice. Protect your future. Not every man wants a Divorced woman with a sex tape. Go...

Biggie’s unforgettable pearls of wisdom – BBNaija

Image
Biggie's pearls of wisdom are the gems you need to hold on to and here's why. bigie’s Diary Room has given us some memorable words of wisdom that not only uplifted the spirits of Housemates this Season but often resonated with us.   Here’s a look at all the pearls of wisdom we will never forget, courtesy of the big man himself(biggie)! When Cross wondered how Emmanuel became the Head of House, he questioned how luck was not on his side and further tried to analyze how luck presents itself to who may need it most. Biggie stepped in to remind Cross “When an event occurs it’s only natural for us to wonder how it happened? However, the simplest explanation is the most preferable. In other words, Emmanuel is the HoH because he won the HOH Games.”  At face value, we can feel like this response was dismissive, but giving more depth to the context, we came to realize that what Biggie meant was simple: Worrying about the unknown is just another trap door that could lea...

Image
The Housemates had their last Saturday Night Party – and it came with a whole bag of emotions. Last night, the “Shine Ya Eye” geng had their final Saturday Night Party. Seeing as it was the last party for the season, the Housemates were pretty excited about the whole affair and were all jazzed up about meeting their colleagues who had left the House. The preparation for the party started with the Housemates receiving their party outfits alongside a board game. When the outfits for the party arrived, the Housemates were quick to get ready for the event. After getting dressed, you know what comes next. Yes, the photos. They started with selfies and helping each other out until everyone was ready and then group photos were taken. The Housemates noticed however that it was taking a little longer than expected for them to go into the Party Room and came to the reasoning that this may have been why a board game came along with their outfits. The Housemates stuck to this reasoning...

White Money of #BBNaija just exposed an age old fallacy in it’s benighted absurdity. Prior to this, many believed that the way a woman dresses could incite a man to r*pe her.

White Money of #BBNajja just exposed an age old fallacy in it’s benighted absurdity.  Prior to this, many believed that the way a woman dresses could incite a man to r*pe her. - However, when faced with Angel in her uncla state, all he did was crack a joke about her being a ‘marketer’ and he looked away. - This suggests that the manner in which a woman chooses to dress or undress has never been the problem. Rather, it’s the state of the mind of the man that has been the culprit all along. - If the sight of a whole bushy triangle couldn’t entice White Money to misbehave, then your excuse of ‘she wore a mini skirt’ has expired! - I know some would contend this assertion, asking; “could it be that he wanted to eat premium steak and what he saw was yesterday’s peppered snail?” Although that’s a valid argument, White Money’s focus and comportment in the house so far, still reflects the premise that self control is one of his strengths. - Furthermore, self control is one...

Speaking during her diary session on Friday, day 41 of the show, Saskay said she had noted changes in Pere as she found him a sweet person in recent times, as opposed to his first couple of weeks in the house. “I’m beginning to have second thoughts about him. He is actually a sweet person. In the first couple of weeks he was all rigid. Maybe as the oldest person in the house he was trying to to play the adult. Of recent, he has been more friendly. Sometimes he does something and I’m like, ‘Is this really Pere?’ He plays around a lot now,” she said. Saskay also noted how they both hardly ever spoke in the first couple of weeks of the show but with the recent changes in his attitude, they now have “little talks She stated that his former attitude in the house was probably as a result of being in the house with totally different people and feeling the need to stand out. “Fro...
