Did China Telecom just leak the iPhone 6?

Here’s another if there haven’t been enough leaks and rumours around the iPhone 6! According to reports from China based outlets, the iPhone 6 might just have been leaked by China Telecom. The carrier posted an imagethat claims, and looks like, one from the series of flyers that the iPhone 6 will be getting. Interestingly, the device design we see in the render does agree quite a lot with the leaked renders and photos we’ve been treated to in the past. It isn’t very common for a network carrier to post an image like this one, which makes us take this with a pinch of salt. The iPhone 6, as you might know, is expected to be unveiled next month on the 9th. Along with a 4.7-inch iPhone, Apple is also expected to out a 5.5-inch version to mark entry into a phablet series of smart devices. Looking at the renders, we get an impression that the iPhone 6 will have a colour scheme that’s identical to the existing iPhones. Thankfully we don’t have to wait too much to know it all!

HUNGER 4

I blush and drop down on the bed to give my sore back a break. You put the camera down and disappear behind me once again. I close my eyes to rest a moment and I feel your fingers prod at my asshole. "There’s no time to waste, my pet," you murmur, "I’m ready to fill you up with another load." I gasp and tense up as you force the tip of your middle finger inside me. I take deep breaths to try to relax myself. Leaning over my back, you kiss along my spine as your finger moves in and out slowly. I feel your cock on my ass and I spread my thighs wider. Your kisses lull me and my whole body feels like jelly. I sigh in relief when I hear you flip open the lid of lube and pour it on my asshole. You start to rub the head of your cock up and down my crack, covering it with lube. Grabbing my hips, you press against my hole and slowly start to work your way in. I exhale and close my eyes, gripping the sheets. You take your precious time but eventually every inch of you disappears inside me. Reaching down you grab my hair and force my back into an arch. The way you fuck me is mesmerizing. Slow and deep; giving me time to relax and enjoy this rare moment. Our bodies move as one as you slam against my luscious ass. Moans and groans escape your lips. You quickly pick up speed. Your grip becomes tighter and your thrusts are rough and deep. I push back against you, feeling every inch force its way inside me. As much as I love this feeling, it alone cannot get me off. “May I touch my clit?” I ask. “Yes,” You growl. “But don’t you cum.” I reach my right hand down between my thighs and waste no time. My clit is swollen and sensitive and is almost too painful to touch but I don’t care. I rub furiously as moans escape my lips. I can feel your cock swell and twitch. I love this feeling. Everything is heightened. I could cum in any second. You let go of my hair and my head falls onto the bed. Grabbing my hips so tight that I can feel your nails pierce my skin, you fuck me relentlessly. Grunts and sounds of skin on skin fill the room. I can’t hold back much longer. “C-can I cum please?” I ask, as my hand shakes uncontrollably. “No, not yet,” You respond, breathlessly. “I’m almost there. I want you to cum with me.” I keep my finger pressed against my clit. The wait is excruciating. I push back against you and turn my head to look you in the eyes. I need you to see the hunger and desire I have for you. I’ve never wanted someone more than I want you right now. “Fill me up. I want to feel your hot cum explode inside me!” Your eyes flutter and you shove your cock deep. “Damn you!” You snarl. “Cum! Now!” It doesn’t take much. As I push myself over the edge, you squeeze my hips and cum with a guttural groan. You keep thrusting a few more times and then collapse on the bed beside me. I watch your chest rise and fall as I cuddle against your naked flesh. Dropping a few kisses across your ribs and stomach, I eye up your slick, cum covered cock. I can’t resist! You suck in a breath as my tongue drags across the sensitive tip. “That’s a good girl,” you murmur. “Clean up your mess.” I lick every inch of your cock and balls until it’s dry and soft. The mix of cum, lube and my ass are intoxicating and delicious. I lose myself in the moment and begin to suck you off for me now, but you pull me off. "Let me recharge first," you say. "Okay," I pout. "Don’t worry, little one, I am not even close to being finished with you tonight," you say and pull me close for a kiss.

HUNGER 3

Cum is dribbling down my face as I lay there restrained and gasping for breath. Your cock twitches a few inches from my mouth and even after taking your huge load, I’m still eager for more. I watch you walk out of the room and return with a bottle of expensive champagne in a bucket of ice. Placing it on the nightstand, you take an ice cube in your hand and drag it across my lips. My tongue darts out for a lick and you watch my mouth intensely as I slip it inside and suck on it. It melts in no time and you reach for another one. This one gets pressed against my stiff nipples and sends me into a writhing mess. You smirk and drag the melting ice across my chest to the other nipple. My eyes flutter as water starts to pool in the valley between my breasts. I let out a sigh and look up at you, noticing your impressive erection. "You’re still rock hard," I murmur. "I didn’t allow myself to cum all week. I’m not going soft until I’m satisfied, and I’m far from it." You grab one more ice cube and shove it inside my pussy. I yelp and pull at the restraints which only make you chuckle. The coldness numbs me quickly and is followed by a dull ache of pain. You shove another one inside and I can feel the cold water dripping down my ass crack. You tease my pussy with one finger until the ice is gone and you are satisfied that I’ve suffered enough. "Drink?" You ask and I nod. You untie just my wrists and pour two glasses. Handing me one, I tip it back and swallow it down. The bubbles tickle my throat and I let out a giggle. I hand you back the empty glass but you put it down instead of refilling it. I push out my lower lip and pout. "On your stomach now," you order. "It’s play time." My heart races with anticipation as I eye up my two gifts on the bed. I raise my ass up as you strip off your shirt and get behind me. My eyelids flutter when your hand touches my bottom. You’re soft and sweet - slowly caressing my cheeks and pushing your fingers between them. I let out a gasp and arch my back when I feel just a slight graze of your finger touch my asshole. "I have wanted to spank and play with your big, beautiful ass the moment I met you. It’s so round and firm - perfect for punishing." "I’ve been hoping for this," I gush. "You have no idea." "Oh I do, don’t kid yourself. Your hints are far from subtle." I stifle a giggle against the sheet and wiggle my butt. "I know what you want before you know you even want it," you say. "And since you’ve been such a good girl and have followed my instructions perfectly so far…" You reach out beside me and grip the leather paddle. "You’ve earned a night like tonight." I hear the paddle whip through the air and land hard on my right cheek. I shriek from the harsh stinging sensation rippling up my spine. Pain comes first and it catches me off guard. Before I have time to process it, you bring it down hard on my other cheek. "You like that?" You growl. "Yes! Fuck yes!" You give each cheek two more hard whacks before pausing to rub my aching flesh. Your touch soothes me and gives me pause to gather all the strength I have to handle this. The pain is worse than I imagined it to be, but thank god for the little moments of pleasure mixed it. The more you strike me, the better I become at accepting it without flinching or tensing up. You eventually switch things up and go for the cat o’nine tails; letting the leather strips softly tickle against my swollen ass, I wiggle around the bed and bite down on my arm to fight the pain. You pick up speed and slap the toy hard against my ass multiple times before pausing to caress with your hand. Back and forth this goes - slap, slap, rub, slap. You even drop in a few kisses to tease and excite me. It doesn’t take long before I am whimpering and muttering incoherently. My pussy is dripping down my thighs and my head is spinning. By the time you switch back to the paddle, my whole ass is numb and tingling like pins and needles. This time the pain is muted to a dull ache. I count each strike in my head until you reach fifteen. "Do you want to see? It’s quite beautiful." "Yes," I whisper and take a deep breath. I hear the click of your camera and you perch your naked butt on the edge of the bed to show me. I suck in a breath and frown. "Jesus!" My whole entire ass is all different shades of red. I even see a few spots where dark bruises are already forming. I can make out a few heart shapes among the wreckage. "Raise your ass up again." You stand up and I hear a bunch of clicks as you take shot after shot. Your photography is what drew me to you from the very beginning. Just the thought of having a picture of my tortured bottom on display in your portfolio makes my pussy wet. "God, your body is exquisite - so curvaceous and soft. I can’t stop myself from objectifying you and finding more things that turn me on."

HUNGER 2

You’re starting to get rougher with me and nip at my lips as your tongue laps up and down. Every time you hit my clit, waves of electricity trickle down my spine. "You slip my clit into your mouth and suck hard as your tongue flicks back and forth. Oh fuck!" My knees begin to tremble. "Y—you slip two fingers inside and penetrate me hard and fast and deep. Uhhhhh!" I’m shaking and grabbing at you. I can’t hang on. I need release. I throw my head back as I cum with a loud grunt. I’m panting and seeing stars but I’m not done with you. "You don’t stop there," I whisper, "You make me cum again!" It doesn’t take much the second time. My pussy is tingling and sensitive to the touch. I squirm around and buck my hips in protest as you get me off one more time - this one better than the last. I hold nothing back and scream my heart out as my pussy clenches hard around you. When you pull your slick fingers out of my tightness, you surprise me by slipping them into your mouth. I moan as I watch you suck them clean. You know that drives me absolutely wild. My pulse slows and I manage to catch my breath. You kiss my stomach and nuzzle your beard against my mound. We lock eyes and I realize you’re waiting on your knees for my next instruction. I could go on, but I’m bored and want something different. "Unfortunately," I sigh, "the phone rings and ends my daydream." You rise to your feet and kiss my lips. My scent is all over your face. I wrap my arms around your neck and can feel your hard cock pressing against my stomach. “I wish I could’ve been there under your desk between your sexy thighs,” you murmur, giving my ass a hard slap. “But for now, how about you follow me into the bedroom and I’ll show you your surprise.” I giggle with excitement as you pull me by the wrist after you. My mouth falls open in awe as I see a whole bunch of candles lit around the room. Laid out on the satin sheets of my bed are a cat o’nine tails flogger and a leather paddle with a heart shape cut out - two toys that I’ve always wanted to add to my collection. I shriek and try to grab for them but you yank me back. "Before we get to that, lay down on your back for me." I do as you say and it’s then I notice the restraints tied to each of the four bed posts. You slip my wrists and ankles into them and then swiftly drop your pants. Your stiff cock bounces out and I strain myself to try and touch it. Climbing on top of me, you let the tip of your cock drag across my lips. "Open up," you demand, "It’s my turn." I do as I’m told and relax my mouth enough to allow your thickness inside. I’m eager to please you as I haven’t had the luxury of your cock in my mouth for weeks. Most of your weight is balancing on your knees but I like the feeling of you on top of me. I suck the tip and am instantly met with the familiar taste of your salty precum. I feel my pussy start to tingle as I get wetter. You glare down at me but not in an angry way - more of a tortured, deprived sort of look. I want to tell you dirty things but my mouth is being used. I bat my lashes, instead, and slip my tongue out to graze the underside of your cock. "I thought about this all day," you state, "I wanted nothing more than to fill your pretty little mouth." I muffle a moan and look up at you with desire in my eyes. You are spectacular at dirty talk and I’ve missed this. "But I knew that I had to pace myself. I knew we’d get carried away and just end up furiously fucking in the hallway until we collapsed - tired and unable to truly enjoy our night together." You rock your hips, giving me a few more inches of cock to please. I tip my head forward allowing you access to more of my throat. You groan and slap me on the cheek. It’s not gentle but it sure as hell isn’t as hard as I’ve had - not that I would complain if it was. "After I fill you to the brim with my weeks worth of cum, I am going to paint your ass red and then fuck it until you’re begging me to stop. You’ll be unable to sit for the rest of the weekend but it will be worth it, won’t it, my pet?" I nod vigorously and you caress my stinging, flushed cheek. We share one last sweet moment before you shove your entire length into my mouth and begin to fuck my face.

HUNGER

You push me against the wall the moment I step through the door. Our mouths find one another in the pale yellow light of the moon. Your touch is desperate and hurried. We haven’t seen each other in a week - yet it feels like forever. You rip at my dress, untying the belt and letting it all fall to the floor in a heap of overpriced polyester. "This is new," You say, with an approving smile. "You like it? I had you in mind when I brought it." I finger the lace of the black chemise lingerie and follow your gaze as you drink in every inch of me. The skin tight dress fits me like a glove and accents my ample chest and curvy hips. You’ve yet to discover the best part underneath. "I like that it’s not so…so slutty and revealing. It teases the eye and is quite naughty." My eyes flutter as your lips dance across my neck, grazing all the tender spots that make my spine tingle. "Speaking of naughty…" I murmur and finger your soft hair. "I had a little daydream about you while I was at work today." "Oh?" Your hands grip my waist and start to gently massage my skin. I become mesmerized by your musky scent and nuzzle my cheek against you. "I couldn’t stop thinking about seeing you tonight and how much I’ve missed your cock." Your hands reach around and grip my plump ass. Pulling me forward, you watch my face as you squeeze hard and then give it a light slap. I suck in a breath and wiggle my hips. "I was sitting at my desk imagining you on your knees before me," I say, "You reach up and spread my thighs, letting your fingers linger on my soft skin. You—" I gasp as you suck my earlobe into your warm mouth. "You lick your way up my leg as you slowly tease me." "I do love to tease you, my pet," you purr, making me shiver. "My pussy is tingling and my panties are getting wet." Your fingers slip under the hem of the lingerie and slowly tug it up my luscious thighs revealing the matching black lace thong. "These panties?" You ask. "Yes," I respond in a whisper. I suck in a breath as you push my thighs apart and tease my swollen pussy lips over the fabric. "Did you touch yourself? Or slide a finger inside to see how wet you were?" You ask. "Eventually. I was a bit nervous that someone would walk right in and catch me." "Nervous? That’s not like you. My girl craves excitement. I can bet that a part of you was hoping someone would come in, am I right?" I exhale and nod. “Yes. It’s true.” "So you teased yourself as you thought about the danger of it all," You say, "and then you…what? Tell me what you did." "I slipped my hand inside my panties and—" Your rough skin grazes my mound and my whole body starts to tremble. "I ran my middle finger up and down my slit, feeling how slippery it was. I spread my legs wider and started to rub my clit with the juices." You begin to mimic exactly what I am saying. My clit is swollen and sensitive to the touch. I wiggle around and let out soft moans of pleasure. You continue to lick and suck my ear and neck making me weak in the knees. I drop my hands around your neck and give it a light squeeze which makes you groan. My exposed pussy tingles from the slight breeze coming from the open window and my nipples become so hard they poke through the top. Your touch becomes more aggressive as your fingertips press at my opening. "Continue," You order. "I think about your thick fingers poking and prodding me so I began to tease my hole - shoving a finger inside every so often. The sound of my wetness was fuelling the fire. My nipples were hard. My breathing ragged. My cheeks flushed." "Were your eyes closed?" You ask. "Yes. I was picturing you getting frustrated and pulling off my panties to get at me. Your face lit up when you saw my newly waxed kitty." I inhale and exhale slowly as you pull my thong down to the floor and kneel before me. "I like that you left a patch. It’s sexy." "I knew you would. I do pay attention to what you say." Your eyes twinkle as you smirk up at me. "What did I do next?" "You…you leaned closer to inspect me - fingering my folds and making me shiver. You lick your lips and just stay like that - inches from me. It drives me crazy!" My mouth is getting dry so I pause to swallow a few times. "Finally you bring your mouth to my pussy and breathe heavy. I don’t have to see to know you are hard and enjoying yourself. I reach down and grab your hair, pulling you into my sex and demanding that you please me." Without realizing it, I have a handful of your hair in my hands as I force your face up to my pussy. Your tongue darts out and licks and sucks every inch of my sensitive flesh. "Yes, like that," I moan. "Exactly like that. Oh god!" Your tongue is soft like silk as you have your fill of me; teasing my entrance, I writhe around and moan loudly. “Tell me more!” You growl. "You grab at my tits - pinching my nipples and groaning as I begin to shake. You can taste how close I am to cumming and it makes you desperate to get me off."

SAMUEL’S BITTER EXPERIENCE

Samuel checked his timeline and saw his nudes all over twitter. “How the hell did this happen,” he thought, with head in his hands, he felt like the ground should just open up and swallow him. “How can Nicky be this cruel,” he thought out loud, “its truly fun and games till the picture get leaked”. He couldn’t stop nodding, trying to find out where it all went wrong. He realized how grave a mistake he made to have given Nicky his twitter password; “what was I thinking? but its all good,” he sighed, “its probably time for me to bite the bullet and do the honourable thing- de-activate my twitter account”. ******* It all started when Ben gisted him about his escapades on twitter and how he had found it easy to score pussy on it. Not thinking twice, Samuel decided to quit2GO and join twitter, a few shout outs and he was ready to “fish“. Being a “newbie” on twitter, he started sendingDMsto every pretty girl on twitter till he was able to get Babzee’s attention after a lot of insults from others. Babzee was cool with a very good sense of humour and they seemed to strike it off immediately. They exchangedDMs for a while before he finally got her digits. Her choice of network made calling easier, all he had to do was add her to his ‘family & friends’ list to for cheaper call rate. Babzee being the emotional type, telling her how much he cared and thanking “mother luck” for bringing her his way was enough to make her blush without a fight. He then suggested a hook up at his house in Akure, a request she granted without hesitation. Two weeks into their acquaintance, she went to Akure as planned and even though he isn’t as goodlooking as she had thought, she found him worthy of the stress. His sense of humour and confidence gave her butterflies, she couldn’t help but relate like they’ve known for years. Upon getting home, he madeem‘ some magarita to drink while they made jokes abouttweets & tweeps, they had enough to laugh about. Suddenly the room got tensed, he pulled her close while he slid his hands in her gown, stroking her thighs. She’d expected this to happen but not just this soon. The thought of playing ‘hard to get’ became hard to do, not after all the messages and laughter they’ve shared. Without a fight she spread out for more, ready to explore it all like ashopaholic with a blank cheque. He stood up to put on the deck, moving to the beat of the song, he pulled her up for a dance. “You’re beautiful,” He said. Blushing, she moved along while avoiding eye contact with him. He pulled her closer in a gentle but solid embrace and kissed her wild, like it was a secret prevention of HIV. Within minutes, they’d discarded their clothes as if they were new occupants of the garden of eden. So sensual, she was putting on matching bra &panties, just how he likes it. Justice was equally done to his jeans, she went for his shirt with hands strolling down the buttons, he swooped her up before she finished taking off his shirt and headed for the bed. Laying her there like a sacrificial lamb, his eyes devoured on her figure. She had the perfect size of tits, “What in the world could stop me from devouring this beauty”, he thought looking at his prized possession. “You’re really beautiful,” he repeated “I’m really happy I met someone as pretty as you and you’re not just pretty, you’re also smart and intelligent.” Smiling appreciatively, she thought “round up with ur sermon, dude, my pussy needs some service.” He moved closer to her and planted a kiss on her lips, gently at first then more passionately as their tongues found each other. Exploring &probing as his hands took a tour of her body like her body was a mobile version of tinapa. He unclasped her bra to put his hand on her boobs for a gentle squeeze, she moaned into his mouth, a certification to explore further, he rubbed her nipples while the moan continued. He couldn’t believed this was happening so fast, he felt so proud of himself. “I am indeed a smart guy,” he thought. Even though she enjoyed what he was doing, she couldn’t help but hope for the real fuck, reaching for his boxers, she grabbed his dick and started stroking it. With lust in her eyes, she broke the kiss and knelt down to stroke his dick. He pulled his boxers for conveniency while she did the same justice to her panties for full access. There it is, ‘a little precum’ on his dick, her eyes brightened as she licked it off with her tongue in victory, her tongue was effective and she teased further. Swirling her tongue around his dick, she stroked harder with the head in her mouth, she licked further, like a stolen scoop of ice-cream. Samuel got really teased and tempted grabing her head for a fuck face rushed through his mind but he discarded such tought with the 'playing it cool' method. Like she knew what he was thinking she took more of his dick into her mouth and her head started moving in rhythm as she sucked in the best possible way she could. He gave in after a while, grabing her head he fucked.

Why FG Sacks 16,000 Resident Doctors

Following the indefinite nationwide strike embarked upon by residents doctors in Nigeria, the Federal Government has sacked all the doctors in the country indefinitely.
This is according to a circular dated 13 August, 2014, signed by L. N. Awute, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, on behalf of the minister directed the suspension of residency training programme for doctors in the country.
The circular also called for the termination of appointment of all resident doctors in the country to enable the government appraise the challenges facing the Nigerian health sector.
It would be recalled that the doctors had been on an indefinite nationwide strike since 1 July, 2014, in protest of Federal Government’s non-implementation of some agreements it had with the union.
Other demands being made by the resident doctors included immediate appointment of a Surgeon-General of the Federation and increase of hazard allowance to N100,000 monthly.
The doctors were also demanding reservation of the position of the chief medical director for medical doctors only.
The circular, however noted that “this is without prejudice to the employment of Locum Physicians on six months renewable contract, tied to productivity and good behaviour.”

The circular sacking resident doctors

The locum appointments, the circular stated, were to be approved by the president through the minister of health.
“Let’s see how this will work. Except they want to kill the teaching hospitals and the health sector in general,” a resident doctor told newsmen.
He explained that he believed the incessant strike by resident doctors and the NMA was what influenced the government’s decision but doubted that it would be effective.
“In our own teaching hospital, about 90 per cent of the doctors are resident doctors, there are few medical officers. So how can you sack 90 per cent of doctors in a hospital?” he asked rhetorically.
While reacting to the sack order, chairman, National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), Dr Jubril Abdullai, told the Nigerian Tribune that the decision was illegal, adding that the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) would take appropriate steps as regards the situation.
According to the NARD boss, it was an act of law that set up residency training programme in Nigeria, adding that for the country to abolish it, legal steps had to be taken.
He noted that an emergency meeting had just been held with the national body of doctors, adding that “I can bet it with you that this is just the beginning of the strike.”
In the same vein, vice president of Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Dr Titus Ibekwe, while speaking on the matter, stated that the association was in a meeting to discuss the issue.
Resident doctors in Nigeria are doctors being trained to become specialists/ consultants in different fields of medicine. During their 4 to 5 years training to become consultants, they work in different government hospitals and make up the majority of doctors in teaching hospitals.

Sexual Deposits-A True Life Story, About Sex For Accounts In Nigeria’s Banking Sector

As a new employee in Ecobank back in 2008, we were given targets from the Head Office – to ‘get’ deposits, like they were hanging on trees and all we were to do was ‘pluck’ the monies. Most women told me horrific stories of how they had to affairs with men and women alike, all in the name of getting ‘deposits’. One particular incident stays with me: I had walked into the office of this well known Independent Oil Marketer in my region – my church-member, to sell him my bank services, even though every other bank was offering same services. In his expansive office, he offered me this plush chair to sit on, and then he hastily went on to get me drink. I sat calmly, as my heart thudded in my chest, even as I thought of what to tell him since all I had planned to recite had evaporated immediately I beheld his lewd smile. He wore that same slimy smile as he offered me the bottle of Maltina. “My pretty baby, what brings you to my humble office?” He was frenzied with excitement. He brought a low chair and sat opposite me, his knees almost grazing mine. He didn’t give me chance to catch my breath and confidence. My stomach quivered in fear. He knew this game well. “Sir..” “Call me, Ken,” He quipped in. He was almost as old as my father. “My name is Ukamaka Olisakwe.” “Uka-baby, don’t be shy. Be free with me. Talk to me.” He quickly grabbed my shoulders, shook them, and then left me again. He launched into a lot of nonsense about how I looked and how he liked my outfit, especially my shoes. I squirmed all the while. “Don’t be shy.” He held my hands in his. I stared at him, and then pulled my hands away. He asked how long I had been in the banking industry. I said I was new. He beamed. He would give me deposit that would shock my manager. He will make me the envy of all in my branch. Ha! “Do you know if I call your MD and told him I am going to give you N100, 000, 000 in fixed deposit you would be given double promotion? What is even your salary? Do you have an official car yet? I am going to shock, baby. Just ask about me. Do you know how many ladies ‘chase’ me for deposit? I just like you.” I stared at my palms. My wedding ring glistened. I felt sad, then angry. I knew if I were a man he would not be this informal with me. He would have been respectful and might even have engaged me in a talk on politics or football or the financial markets. But I was a woman, and as expected, I deserved none of those ‘gentlemanly’ discussions. What do we know, we women? We should be seen as sex objects- as toys to be played with, that’s the best respect you could give to a woman. Right? Not as human equals, but as objects to massage men’s ego. “Do you want to have sex with me?” I blurted. The smirk disappeared. He looked a little shaken. Then he quickly began to regain the lost balance. “Ehhh, you are one naughty girl..” The dirty smile crept out again. “I am not naughty.” He laughed out loud. “I like you. You are fearless.” “I didn’t know I was supposed to be afraid of you.” “No. No. I didn’t mean that. Just surprised by your boldness.” He was laughing still. “You don’t want to see me bold, Sir,” I said. I wanted to tell him that only a coward, piss-poor-excuse-for-a-man would disrespect a woman this way. I wanted to scream in his face that only fools like him would turn an official visit as an opportunity to browbeat a woman into sex. Another woman might cower, but I am not another woman. I am Ukamaka. If I ever wanted to engage into an affair with you, I would, not because I was forced into it, but because I wanted it. But I quietly stood, patted down my dress and said: “Thank you and have a nice day, Sir.” I got to our office and told my supervisor, the good man, Ugochukwu Nwamara, of my challenges. He did the best thing for us – the marketers. He introduced to us the concept of ‘Team Marketing’. He made us confident. He thought us that women should be shown respect not because they should be pitied, but because they are Human Beings, too. I wish other women were lucky, but it is sad that this modern day slavery is still practiced!

24 WAYS ON HOW TO WIN A GIRL'S HEART

1. When she asks how she looks, shrug and say "could be better." This will keep her on her toes, and girls love that.
2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weakness. If she grabs your hand, squeeze hers really, really hard until she cries. This will impress her by showing her what a strong man you are.
3. Once a month sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. Girls are like dogs. They love to be roughed up.
4. Call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If she is, say "you better be." Repeat this 4 or 5 times until morning. This will show her you care.
5. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement, and every girl needs some improvement.
6. Recognize the small things; they usually mean the most. Then when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them. Because jewelry is for wussies and Asian ladies.
7. If you're talking to another girl, make sure she's looking. When she is, stare into her eyes, mouth the words 'john tesh you,' and grab the other girl's ass. Girls love competition.
8. Tell her you're taking her out to dinner. Drive for miles so she thinks it's going to be really special. Then take her to a burning tire yard. When she starts to get upset tell her you were just kidding and now you're really going to take her to dinner. Then drive her home. When she starts crying and asks why you would do something like that lean over and whisper very quietly into her ear "...because I can."
9. Introduce her to your friends as "some chick". Women love those special nicknames. 10. Play with her hair. Play with it HARD.
11. Warm her up when she's cold... but not by giving her your jacket, because then you might get cold. Rather, look her in the eye and say, "If you don't stop pinkberrying about the cold right now, you're going to be pinkberrying about a black eye." The best way to get warm is with fear.
12. Take her to a party. When you get there she'll have to go to the bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when the party's dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you at the party.
13. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is if she has a small pet. Kick the pet. I always find stuff like that funny. Why shouldn't girls?
14. Let her fall asleep in your arms. When she's fast asleep, wait 10 minutes then JUMP UP AND SCREAM IN HER EAR! Repeat until she goes home and you can use your arms for more important things. Like basketball.
15. Spit often. I hear girls like guys that spit.
16. If you care about her, never ever tell her. This will only give her self confidence. Then you can never turn her into the object she deep down desires to be.
17. Every time you're in her house steal one of the following: shoes, earrings, or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the pair. This way she'll go crazy.
18. Take her out to dinner. Right when she's about to order interrupt and say "No, she's not hungry". Make her watch you eat. Girls love a guy that speaks for her.
19. Look her in the eyes and smile. Then clock her one. Girls love a spontaneous guy.
20. Give her one of your t-shirts... and make sure it has your smell on it. But not a sexy cologne smell. A bad smell. You know what I'm talking about.
21. If you're listening to music, and she asks to hear it, tell her no. This way she'll think you're mysterious.
22. Remember her birthday, but don't get her anything. Teach her material objects aren't important. The only thing that's important is that she keeps you happy. And your happiness is the greatest present she can ever get. 23. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas, or just whenever, take it and tell her you love it. Then next time you know she's coming over on a trash day leave the trash can open and have the present visibly sticking out of the can. Girls actually don't like this one that much, but I think it's funny.
24. If she's mad at you for not calling her when you say you will, promise her that you will call her at a certain time of the day. This will ensure that she waits by the phone. Tell her when you call you're going to tell her a special surprise. Now she'll be really excited. Now don't call. That's also quite funny!

NAUGHTY FEMALE STUDENT

I began to get that feeling again. The one where my pu.ssy starts throbbing, when he rambles on about nothing I seem to understand. Just for the fact that he knew what he was talking about made him very sexy. Sure, a lot of secondary school girls at some point had petty crushes on male corpers, but what I had was not a crush; I lusted for this guy. Everyone in school knew that corper kellz was sexy. All my {female} friends had a slight thing for him. We all prayed to be his girlfriend.. I truly wasn’t the best student in the class, but really, how could any girl focus on learning, when six feet of tall dark handsomeness was in her line of sight every day? “Judith!.” I was suddenly pulled out of my dirty thoughts as my Idol {himself} called out my name. “Where was your mind?.” i heard him ask, while the entire classroom chuckled at me, but I did not care. He had spoken my name. My name had crossed his lips that were slightly hidden behind a perfectly trimmed goatee. Our eyes locked for a brief moment and something clicked. I could feel it and I knew that he could feel it also. I felt myself dripping wet into my panties. “why are you lost in my class?,” he asked, but before i could give an answer, the bell rang for break, making everyone jump to their feet. Everyone except for me seemed to be in a hurry to leave the class. I waited for the classroom to clear open before making my way up to him. I seemed to have no control over my actions. My body did not want to leave, it wanted to stay and enjoy every moment with him. We silently stared at each other, my heart pounding madly. “sir, i really havn’t been concentrating in class, due to some family issues” I lied effortlessy, making my way to his side. “so what exactly is the family problem you are having?,” he asked curiously, “perhaps I could be of help?” he added softly. “it’s a long story sir, but I really was wondering if you could help me with special lessons after school, my parents will be willing to pay,” I asked with a sweet smile, while he shrugged and breathed deeply, staring at me as if i asked for something impossible. “I am not the best at asking for help, But, if you can’t help me, don’t bother, I will figure out another solution.” I murmured with a coloured face, before turning to leave, surprisingly he grabbed my left hand. “alright I get off work at 2:30pm, maybe we could be meeting every 4pm at your house, i’m here to serve everyone who needs my help” he said softly, smiling calmly. “nooo i think your lodge will be much better, i don’t want to give you the stress of trekking to my house every evening” i answered happily, while he shrugged again. “That would be great,” I heard him say, while my eyes blossomed with joy. “AT LAST HE IS ALL MINE”i reasoned. hours later @home ________________ I spent the next two hours getting ready. It was harder than I had imagined trying to dress up for someone without it looking like I was trying to dress up for him.I was sure I could come up with a reason as to why I looked dressed up, because I wanted to avoid raising suspicion. By the end of my “getting ready” I was satisfied. My black skirt was just above my knees, not showing anything off. Over my skirt hung a long red sleeveless shirt, showing off my firm arms instead of my firm stomach. My favourite thing about that shirt was how amazing my 36C breasts were perfectly viewable. You could not see the flesh, but you could see every shape they gave off. Once I decided I was ready, I snuck out the back door and headed to his lodge. I had to sneak out because i hate lying to mum who would find it very strange that I was meeting my teacher, which made the option of sneaking out more preferable. {Yea i know meeting with a teacher isn’t really a strange thing judging from a normal perspective, but it truly was more of meeting with my teacher in that outfit which made it more weird, because my dressing wasn’t study appropriate}. I panicked the whole way to his lodge, with my maths Text book and a note pad tucked in my skirt {pocket}. I soon got to his room, breathed deeply before calmly knocking on his room door. I was so nervous and excited that i could hear my heart beating furiously in my chest. Knocking on his door was more nerve wrecking than i had imagined, Still I gained up my courage and continued knocking. “Come in,” his voice finally called through the door and my entire body tingled. I loved the sound of his voice. It was deep and manly. I took one more deep breathe and made my way into his room, slowly pushing open the door. He was sitting on a giant mattress that gave his room a peculiar shape. “Ah,” he smiled as our eyes met. “Judith” he greeted, “good evening,” I smiled nervously, shutting the door behind me. I was not sure if shutting it was a good idea, but i gave it no second thought. “Nice room” i murmured, “I find it a little too stuffy,” he laughed.

HOT SPOTS TO MEET SINGLES IN YOUR AREA

One of the easiest and least expensive ways to meet singles is to spend time where other singles hang out. Yet, many singles avoid this kind of interaction, either because they've "tried it before and it didn't work," or they feel silly doing nothing while trying to look available in a public place. These are both valid points, but neither are reasons to not try out some of these places to meet singles on your own. Perhaps a change of venue or attitude will make all the difference, but without trying you'll never know. In fact, you probably wouldn't be reading this article at all if you weren't in need of new ideas to jump start your current efforts, as whatever it is you are doing now isn't working to your satisfaction.


So grab a paper and a pen, get ready to jot down some ideas for later, and let's get started.

Meet Single People in Coffee Shops

Coffee shops are one of my personal favorites when it comes to places to meet singles. It may seem obvious to some or completely alien to others - but it works. Find a busy coffee shop that you feel comfortable in, and take up a space near the main door. Don't bring anything to distract yourself with if you can manage it, although this may be more difficult for some than for others. The point is this: try not to involve yourself into something so completely that you send off 'I'm busy' vibes. You want to seem approachable, and hiding behind a laptop or an book doesn't help!


Then, make a point of 'greeting' each person who comes in the door, whether with a smile, comment or friendly hello. There is no need to make your introduction rote or sounding like you're a Walmart greeter however; just try and be yourself doing something that may not come naturally. By doing this you are not only making yourself known to all of the other patrons, you are also making yourself available to anything that comes your way - which could be a recommendation for a new book to read, a compliment about something you're wearing, or maybe even a date. Worst case scenario? Someone doesn't say hi back, and another person walks through the door ten seconds later. You've lost nothing in the process, and have opened yourself up just a bit further.

Meet Singles Socially

Separate from the obvious, there are several social events you can attend to increase your chances of meeting someone new. Try planning a weekly movie night through your friends and see who shows up every week, making it clear that new people are welcome to join at any time. Accept every party, wedding or social networking invitation you are given and attend. Another idea along this same vein would be to host your own party, where each invitee brings a potluck dish and a single friend (of the opposite sex for heterosexuals or same sex for gays and lesbians). This way there will be an evenly-matched number of singles, all interested and ready to meet someone new.

Meet Singles at Hobby, Special Interest and Support Groups

For those truly passionate about a particular hobby (i.e. writing, archeology, model trains, or motorcycles), look for a community group that services other people with similar interests. Your geographic location will determine whether or not there are readily accessible groups already ready and waiting for your membership. For those in smaller communities where the resources may not be as comprehensive, try talking to the owners of local shops you frequent to buy hobby-related materials and ask if they know of others to speak with regarding starting a group, o if you can post notices looking for other interested participants. Another idea would be to contact national organizations overseeing smaller local chapters to see if they are planning any speaking engagements or are looking to start a chapter in your area.

 Other ideas along these lines include attending LGBT film festivals, single parent organizations or meetings and health-related support groups.
Whether as a spectator or a participant, sporting events are also a frequent and commonly-used place to meet singles. Cheering on your favorite team or sweating it out to win a game, sports build camaraderie and companionship between people that sometimes have nothing else in common and would never meet otherwise. There are even singles sporting groups popping up that cater to an even smaller niche market, with the ultimate rewards for a single looking to meet new people: a larger cachet of singles with which to interact with and potentially date. A note for heterosexual ladies: attending a sporting event with other single friends will surely net you a conversation with a stranger if nothing else, since single women are usually in short demand.

Meet Singles By Taking a Course or at College and University

Whether you are taking a couple of courses to upgrade, are a full-time university student or are passionate about tole painting, every community both large and small have courses you can take that will not only net you more knowledge, but a whole new set of people to meet and interact with.

If money is an issue, think about taking a class without getting credit or look into how old you have to be to receive free classes, since many universities now offer tuition-free options for seniors. And while you want to take classes that you have a personal or professional interest in, it never hurts to take something you normally wouldn't - if only because you have a hunch the type of person you are looking to meet would take that kind of class.

Meet Singles at Church or by Volunteering

Similar to the hobbies and special interests we all have are our political, religious and/or spiritual affiliations. Many groups that fall into this category also have single sub-sections for their members looking for a mate, whose special events are excellent places to meet people. There are even specific volunteer organizations geared only towards singles that you can join, knowing that while you are donating your time to a worthy cause, you'll also be expanding your personal network to include other, like minded singles also looking for a date.

Meet Singles in Public Places

There is a reason why the catch-all "public places" ranks last on the list of places to meet people. It's not only vague, but also the most difficult of places to meet people, since you'll never be 100% sure the people you are interacting with are single and looking. Bus stops, laundromats, libraries, restaurants, bookstores, grocery stores and travel-related places (buses, trains, planes, etc.) all fall within the public place moniker, although there are surely many more to choose from depending on your specific lifestyle. What's to remember here is that you can meet someone special - anywhere, anytime, anyplace - and you want to be ready no matter what the circumstances.

Report: Ebola outbreak probably started with 2-year-old in Guinea

The worst outbreak of Ebola, which has killed 961 people and triggered an international public health emergency, may have started with a 2-year-old patient in a village in Guinea.

About eight months ago, the toddler, whom researchers believe may have been Patient Zero, suffered fever, black stool and vomiting. Just four days after showing the painful symptoms, the child died on December 6, 2013, according to a report published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Scientists don't know exactly how the toddler contracted the virus. Ebola is spread from animals to humans through infected fluids or tissue, according to the World Health Organization.

"In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines," WHO says, though researchers think fruit bats are what they call the virus's "natural host."

Man loses 7 relatives to Ebola

Researchers who published the paper this year found a chain of illnesses in the toddler's family.

After the child's death, the mother suffered bleeding symptoms and died on December 13, according to the report. Then, the toddler's 3-year-old sister died on December 29, with symptoms including fever, vomiting and black diarrhea. The illness subsequently affected the toddler's grandmother, who died on January 1, in the family's village of Meliandou in Guéckédou.

The area in southern Guinea is close to the Sierra Leone and Liberia borders.

The illness spread outside their village after several people attended the grandmother's funeral.

Funerals tend to bring people in close contact with the body. Ebola spreads from person to person through contact with organs and bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions of infected people. It has no known cure.

READ: 'This is unprecedented'

Two of the funeral attendees appeared to bring back the virus to their village, and it spread to health care workers and other family members who took care of infected patients.

"A health care worker from Guéckédou with suspected disease, seems to have triggered the spread of the virus to Macenta, Nzérékoré, and Kissidougou in February 2014," stated the report, noting that more Guinea towns were affected.

Clusters of the disease popped up in early 2014 in these areas, with the initial patients suffering fever, vomiting and severe diarrhea, according to the report. Hemorrhaging was less frequent, the report noted.

In early March, the Ministry of Health in Guinea and Doctors Without Borders in Guinea were notified about the disease clusters.

Health investigators arrived that month and began tracing the disease by examining hospital documents and conducting interviews with affected families and villagers.

Ebola has now spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, prompting global concerns.

The report about the emergence of Ebola in Guinea was authored by dozens of international doctors and researchers from institutions in France, Germany, Guinea, WHO and Doctors Without Borders.

Sex Work Is Work':Nigerian Prostitutes Protest On The Streets Of Lagos The prostitutes, led by their champion, Patoo Abraham, are fighting to have their trade legalized

The commercial sex business is largely frowned upon in Nigeria but one woman seeks to change that.
48-year-old Patoo Abraham has led protests in Lagos to seek a better lot for Nigeria's prostitutes.
 Abraham is seeking to ensure that prostitution is legalized in Nigeria and that sex workers be protected and respected. The mother-of-two, who heads the Nigerian chapter of African Sex Workers Alliance (ASWA) and the Women of Power Initiative (WOPI) , led protests with the demonstrators wearing T-shirts screaming "Sex work is work, we need our rights."
She told Al Jazeera:
"We are tired of dying in silence","We want to be able to practise our profession with pride like every other person. We want an end to name-calling and stigmatisation. We are sex workers and not asawo [a derogatory Yoruba name for prostitutes]."
 "Sex work is normal work and there are sex workers everywhere under one form of disguise or the other". "The government should stop criminalising our work"
Ms. Abraham also stated that she is proud of her profession as it is not different from any other trade. Controversial musician, Maheeda has also called for the legalization of prostitution in Nigeria.

Stranger Than Fiction:Man Arrested For Having Sex With Dead Bodies In Ebonyi The suspect was accused of killing women and then having intercourse with their lifeless bodies

The police in Ebonyi have arrested a young man on allegations of murder and necrophilia.
The 20-year-old, identified simply as Chukwuma, is said to have taken the lives of 3 women after which he had sex with the corpses.
Details of the crime were made known by the Police Public Relations Officer for the state, Chris Anyanwu.
He said:
“We nabbed him after placing surveillance at a particular farm, where he usually waylays women who are going to farm or coming back from farm.
We got the information that he had killed three women in the same way. He has the habit of waylaying the women on lonely bush path.
Whenever a woman passes through the place he pounces on her and strangles her to death and has sex with the dead body.
“One of these women’s name is Anyigor from the same village. On July 15, she went to farm at a place called Okwulike but never returned.
Then, when he was later arrested, he (the suspect) confessed that he was hanging around that farm area when he saw the woman who is late now, and pounced on her, strangled her to death by grabbing her neck region until she gave up before he had sex with the dead woman and robbed her of N8,500, which he found on her.
“The suspect said he used the money to buy Nokia handset phone and used the remaining money to drink local gin called ‘kaikai’.
“The second incident happened a week after, on July 23, the victim is Mrs. Helen, a 54-year-old woman, who went to Egiagu village to farm and never returned.
“So, alarmed by her non-return, her son alerted the villagers and a search party later found her dead body along the lonely farm path. When Chukwuma was arrested, he confessed that he strangled the woman the same way he strangled the other two women.
The suspect reportedly blamed his actions on his annoyance with the people of the community who had taken to calling him a nickname he did not like.

HEART OF A WOMAN 6

“i know i havn’t been caring as i used to be, but it shouldn’t have stopped you from notifying me on time that you were coming. At least it would have enabled me to prepare and set things right for your visit” he whispered as we held each other after making love. I smiled without saying anything. All that was going through my mind that moment were prayers. I was praying for happiness. I was praying for our relationship. I was scared, terribly scared. “so how long do you intend staying with me?” he suddenly asked, surprising me with the question. I breathed deeply and closed my eyes. “one week dear” i replied calmly, even though i felt the question was a bit insulting, since i just arrived barely seven hours ago. “wow that’s wonderful” he murmured and kissed my forehead, leaving me extremely clueless on what next to expect…. I woke up early the next day, probably around 4:30am to hear Kelvin making a phone call in the sitting room. His voice was very low, preventing me from getting much of what he said, but the little i heard almost exploded my heart, bringing up my suspicion to a very alarming level. “yea you know i’m just tolerating and pretending because i feel grateful and indepted. I’ll call you later” were the exact words i picked up and it left me wondering if he was actually discussing me over the phone. He returned to the room seconds later to see me sitting on the bed. He drew close and stared at me with concern. “hey what’s up?, are you alright?” he asked, “yeah just woke up. Couldn’t find you” i answered with a fake smile. “i was speaking to a colleague concerning a little deal that didn’t go right. I had to make the phone call in the sitting room in order not to disturb you” he explained convincingly, but my mind told me he was lying. “so let’s go back to sleep my dear. I really have lots of engagements to honour later in the day” he said and forced me down on the bed. After breakfast, he left me all alone in the house and headed out. I really felt bad watching him leave, but had to wear a smiling face and pretend as if all was fine with me. I had no reason to stop him since he claimed it was work related, but i knew better than to believe the silly lie. “Work issues on a sunday morning huh???”. However I took the oportunity to visit Gen. Johnson later in the day, using the visit to thank him for the help he gave to me by getting a Job for Kelvin. I spent close to an hour with him before heading over to Lydia’s house in Kubwa. Lydia was my agemate and a family friend. She was lucky to get married at the peak of her youth. She married a naval officer at the age of twenty five. A marriage blessed with two cute kids. She equally was the person who arranged and set up Kelvin’s apartment when he moved over to the capital city the previous year and as a true friend kept minute tabs on him, though the information she supplied weren’t much nor anything appalling. I showed up at her house at exactly 3pm that fateful sunday. She was very glad to see me. “i truly don’t understand what you see in that boring Owerri you folks call the Eastern heartland. Move over here jor and set up a restaurant, i bet you will make much more than what you earn in Owerri over here” she joked as we hugged. “hmmm madam know all. Leave me jare, where will i get legit land or a decent site in this Abuja without getting scammed a hundred times over. Abeg free that matter” i laughed, “as if you don’t have connections in the right place to buy even Aso Rock” she joked. “I came to see how well my fiancee Kelvin is doing. I came into town yesterday” i informed her seriously. She breathed deeply and shrugged, “hmmmm how much do you trust that guy?.” she asked curiously, making me nervous with the question. “well we are engaged. Have you forgotten we chatted about it all through christmas” i answered with a smile. “well, there is this girl who works in his office, he usually hangs out with her almost every weekend. But i’m not sure if anything is actually going on between them. They always look serious together, so i don’t know if it’s just work things or something else. I have seen them a couple of times at Mrs ladipo’s eatery. Emmm Oh God I have forgotten the name of the place. It’s just in front of my hair salon. I don’t know why it always skips my memory. You know mrs ladipo nah? The woman you once gave things to bring for me some years back in U.S” she explained carefully, piercing my heart with the little information she gave me. “why then did you keep such information away from me” i asked, instantly feeling dizzy and sick. “are you okay? You don’t look too well” she asked, jumping to my side and holding me with concern. I just didn’t understand what happened to me that moment. The sitting room began revolving around me. I hard difficulty breathing while body slowly drenched with sweat…..................................................................................................... To be continued.

AMANDA AND THE CLIENT2

He stopped and spun her around her back facing him, he unzipped her skirt and slide it off. Amanda now stood facing his kitchen counter, she could feel his hot gaze on her ass and she spread her legs slightly anxiously awaiting his touch. Milo pushed her down so she was bent over the counter, she gasped as the cold counter hit her hard nipples. Milo stood behind Amanda he looked down at her round ass admiring her heart shaped pussy showing through her thong. He slowly slid his hands up her legs he could feel her shiver, he smirked and hooked her thong under his fingers and slid it down. “That’s much better, now you’re right where you be long bent over with your legs spread ready to take my hard cock.” He grinned and smacked her ass. He leaned down and spread her ass cheeks “my my you are very wet, I better clean you up” He leaned in and lightly licked her clit swirling his tongue around it teasingly. Amanda gripped the counter tighter as she felt his tongue teasing her clit, she felt completely exposed and vulnerable. She nearly came every time he talked dirty to her, she could feel his grip tighten on her ass as he ate her out she moaned as his tongue slid in and out of her went cunt. “oh baby, yes” she said breathlessly suddenly she felt his hand smack her ass, she moaned and felt a stinging. “Did I tell you to speak?” Milo asked through gritted teeth. Amanda shook her head no and bit her bottom lip, she felt more excited than ever before. Milo stood up and ordered her to bend over further “Stick that ass up more.” He undid his pants and pulled out his huge thick throbbing cock, he teased her slick opening enjoying her whimpers. “Would you like my hard cock baby?” Milo asked. “Yes please sir” Amanda responded breathlessly. Milo smirked and pulled away, he spun her around “Get on your knees and show me how much you want it.” Milo ordered in his most aggressive tone. Amanda lowered to her knees shocked that she was letting him order her around like a sex slave, but oh how she wanted his massive cock pounding into her wet pussy. Amanda peeked up at him through her lashes and began swirling her tongue around his tip, she then drove down taking as much of him as she could, sucking as she pulled out. She continued this until she could feel his cock pulsing in her mouth. “Ok, that’s enough.” Milo said. She stopped and he ordered her to turn around again, she bent over the countertop and felt his cock slowly pushing into her pussy. Amanda moaned with sheer pleasure as he shoved his whole cock into her. Milo gave a satisfied grunt as he pushed into her feeling her pussy clenching his cock. He began to thrust in and out slowly savouring every moment. Milo reached his hand around so she could suck on his fingers, he nearly came as her soft wet tongue swirled and sucked around his fingers. He pulled them out and began gently rubbing her clit; he loved how she squirmed beneath his powerful body. He began to thrust harder and faster. Amanda couldn’t handle the pleasure any longer the feeling of his big hard cock pounding into her was the best sex she has ever had. Amanda could feel her orgasm coming she gripped the counter top as it tore through her entire body, she moaned so loud “Oh yes Milo yes!” she was sure the neighbors could hear her. Milo felt his cock pulsing and hearing his name coming from Amanda and feeling her pussy juices soaking his cock was enough for him, he grunted and moaned as he filled her with his hot liquid. He spun her around and gave her the most passionate kiss, he never wanted to let this woman go

AMAND AND THE CLIENT

Amanda looked at herself in the full length mirror; having just gone through a breakup she knew she wasn’t looking her best this morning. She let out a sigh and pulled her hair up in a messy bun, a few strands fell loosely over her pale oval face. She cursed her bad hair dye job, trying to go blonde from chocolate brown had proven itself difficult, her hair now a darker blonde with red tints which she hated, “Never again.” She mumbled as she turned and walked out of her uptown apartment. Amanda reached her destination; she was meeting a new client on a Saturday. Pulling out her phone she dialed her boss’s number. “Hello Janice? This is Amanda, I am at the cafe” Amanda nodded into her phone knowing her boss loved that she was now single as she had been working overtime to keep her mind of Dan. Dan was the perfect male specimen, tall blonde surfer hair with piercing blue eyes. She shook the image from her head as she sat down at a table “I will make certain we get this account Janice, Goodbye.” She hung up the phone and peeked over at the door, just then a tall man with jet black hair walked in, their eyes met, Amanda gasped, she had never seen such a man. His broad shoulders and dark eyes bore into hers she let her eyes fall down his extremely hard looking body. Amanda licked her lips letting her mind wonder what he would be like sweating on top of her thrusting his hard cock… Milo walked into the cafe, his eyes met with wide dark blues, he couldn’t help but stare. A smirk lined his mouth as he watched her gaze fall down his body. It’s been a while since he had been with a woman, his ex walking out on him after he lost his job 2 years ago made it hard for him to even allow a woman get close. He knew this woman was the insurance representative he was here to meet; he approached her and extended his hand. Amanda’s heart sped up as the man walked confidently over to her table and extended his hand. She immediately felt her nipples harden at his closeness; she shook her head feeling her cheeks heat up. Standing she cleared her throat and took his hand in hers, or better yet his hand took hers. His hands were massive she thought as she spoke “Hi, I mean hello I’m Amanda, I will be going over the insurance information with you today.” She took her seat watching his backside as he turned to sit down, of course, she thought perfect ass too. Amanda put on her game face and went over all the details with him. When they were finished she grabbed her purse eager to leave his masculine presence, She extended her hand “Was nice to meet you Milo, I hope to hear from you soon.” Milo held onto her hand a bit too long, he grinned as he watched her cheeks turn red, oh how he wanted to conquer this woman and make her squirm, to hear his name come from that mouth. “Amanda, I know this might seem strange but would you like to come to my place?” He watched her facial expression carefully, damn this woman was beautiful, his gaze fell on her full breasts he knew she would fill his hand nicely. Amanda nearly had a heart attack after hearing Milo’s question, her nipples immediately harden at his gaze. She had never felt so horny for a man before, even Dan couldn’t make her body respond this way from a simple look. “Sure” was all Amanda could say, she couldn’t believe she said sure! What was she thinking! Sex, hot pure primal sex, that’s what she was thinking. Amanda followed Milo outside and into his…..MERCEDES BENZ Amanda’s jaw dropped as Milo opened the door for her. As she sat in the car she could feel his heat radiating off his hard body. Suddenly he pulled up in front of a huge building full of windows. Milo parked in his usual spot and hopped out of the car taking a deep breath, it took all of his will power to not pull over the car and take her right there on the side of the street. He walked around letting Amanda out and led her over to the elevator. They rode up in silence, all he could picture was Amanda beneath him moaning and squirming with pleasure from him. They walked to the door and Milo let them in, he immediately turned and locked the door. Amanda walked in and could hear the click from Milo locking the door; she shivered and turned to face Milo. He reached out and touched her face, Amanda could feel the moisture between her legs. “Damn how did he make her feel this way” she thought, that instant she felt Milo’s lips on hers she moaned and slipped her tongue inside exploring his mouth. Milo groaned and pulled her close, he ripped open her blouse. Amanda gasped at the sudden force; she could hear the buttons bouncing across his kitchen floor. Milo reached behind and unsnapped her bra letting it fall to the floor; she could feel the cool air brush across her already hardening nipples. Milo bent down and took one nipple into his mouth flicking his tongue across her painfully hardened nipple. “OH Milo” she groaned as she dug her hands through his hair.

US steps up response to Ebola in Nigeria.

United States health authorities said Friday they are sending extra personnel and resources to Nigeria, which has declared a national emergency as it battles a deadly outbreak of Ebola for the first time. “We are starting to ramp up our staffing in Lagos,” US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman Tom Skinner told AFP. “We are really concerned about Lagos and the potential for spread there, given the fact that Lagos — and Nigeria for that matter — has never seen Ebola.” Nigeria became the fourth West African country involved in the largest Ebola outbreak in history when a dual US-Liberian citizen who was infected with Ebola traveled by plane to Lagos on July 20. He died five days later. Eight people who came in contact with him have been diagnosed with Ebola, and two have died. Ebola has killed 932 people in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria since March, and has infected more than 1,700 according to the World Health Organization. Experts say Ebola is out of control in West Africa, and the WHO on Friday declared the epidemic an international health emergency and appealed for global aid. In Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan declared the control and containment of the Ebola virus “a national emergency,” his office said in a statement. He urged people to avoid large gatherings, and approved the release of $11.6 million to fund measures against the spread of the virus, including setting up isolation centers and increasing screening at borders. Skinner said CDC personnel are in all affected countries, and that several US personnel already on the ground in Nigeria. “We helped the folks in Lagos set up an emergency operations center similar to what we do here that can help with organizing the country’s response to the outbreak,” he said. Earlier this week, the CDC issued an all-hands alert that allows the agency to direct more funding and staff to the crisis. CDC chief Tom Frieden told lawmakers on Thursday that the agency already has 200 staff working on Ebola response, planned to “increase that number substantially.” At the same hearing before a House subcommittee, Ken Isaacs of the Christian aid group Samaritan’s Purse warned that the situation in Nigeria was likely to worsen. “Our epidemiologists believe that what we are going to see is a spike in the disease in Nigeria,” said Isaacs, vice president of programs and government relations. “It will go quiet for about three weeks and when it comes out, it will come out with a fury.” The incubation period of Ebola is 21 days, meaning it can take that long between initial exposure to the virus and the appearance of symptoms. People become contagious as soon as they begin exhibiting symptoms, which include fever, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhea, and sometimes bleeding. Ebola first emerged in 1976, and there are no treatments or vaccines on the market. A pair of American missionaries who fell ill with Ebola while treating patients in Liberia were given an experimental serum. Their health has improved, though experts say it is unclear if the medication is the reason. Kent Brantly, 33, and Nancy Writebol, 60, were flown out of Liberia and are now being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. “I am growing stronger every day, and I thank God for his mercy as I have wrestled with this terrible disease,” Brantly wrote from his isolation unit Friday. “I held the hands of countless individuals as this terrible disease took their lives away from them. I witnessed the horror firsthand, and I can still remember every face and name.” Do you have an article or news for publication? Email it to campuswakanews@ gmail.com Sources: PM News

Unfortunately, the victims, who wanted to fortify themselves against the attack of the disease took the salt in excess and later came down with various ailments. The hospital source added that most of the patients hospitalised were women and children. SOURCE - This Day

HEART OF A WOMAN 5

You know how the city of Abuja works, without a good car you are nothing, moreover due to the kind of deals i’m now into, i badly need to upgrade my status at least to give the impression that i ain’t a hungry Nigerian. Besides i equally need to impress your friends you know” he poured out seriously, sending me into deep thought with his feelings. “maybe i can be of help. You are already a big boy and we are now into this together. How about i get you your dream car while you fix other things with the money you have made so far” i offered innocently. He quickly sprang up and stared at me with disbelief. “you mean you can make such expensive sacrifice for me?” he asked with excitement, “why not, you have already proven your loyalty and love. The best i can do is to help you out” i answered quietly. He instantly fell on me with joy. He undoubtedly was overjoyed by my offer. So was i, because i was head over heels in love with him. Two days later, Just like i promised, I got a very expensive Toyota SUV for kelvin. He almost ran mad with happiness which meant a lot to me. I was never bothered about spending so much money to make him happy, moreover the surprise and envy i saw in Amara’s face when we invited and told her about our engagement made me very satisfied. She really was highly impressed by what she saw, and for the first time acknowledged our relationship. “jeez you are one persistent lucky b.itch. Kelvin is now a big boy and all yours to enjoy” she commended with a naughty smile. Unfortunately things changed as soon as Kelvin returned to Abuja in January {the following year}. His calls drastically reduced, leaving me with no choice than to be the one making all the calls. Yet whenever he answered, his voice lacked the normal affection and care. Of course i aired my fears to him, but he waved them off giving countless reasons for his change of atitude. Work stress, fatigue and so on. I wasn’t convinced but swallowed my fears. I gave him the benefit of doubt thinking with time things would improve, but on the contrary it worsened. It really got to a stage when he began finding it difficult to answer my calls. “please baby i’m in a meeting, i’m busy, i’ll call you later” soon became his pattern of answering me. Sometimes he called back in the middle of the night, most times he failed to keep his word. I really wasn’t happy. I was broken and dejected. I began feeling his absence. I began getting lonely, i slowly slipped into total despair. Then i got fed up. I couldn’t take his behaviour any-longer. I decided to sneak up on him which was very unladylike but necessary. Thinking of it now, i blamed myself for totally surrendering to him and giving him all i had, even as he failed to introduce me to his family during the festive period we spent together. It really crossed my mind that period, but i kept my feelings to myself because it was his duty as a guy to bring up the topic, moreover i never saw it as an issue since we were engaged. I truly loved Kelvin with all my body and soul. The kind of love i had for him almost made me lose my mind. I travelled to Abuja to see things for myself. To satisfy my curious mind and set my fears at rest. I knew Kelvin’s behaviour was out of the ordinary, but i never allowed my mind to believe that he could be cheating on me. The engagement ring on my finger was still a strong prove of his affection, I believed. Yet it never stopped my heart from pounding furiously as i got close to his apartment that fateful saturday. One thing about love is that it never discriminates. It happens to everybody, both young and old. Once it happens, you are at the mercy of your inner-most feelings…… And When it crashes, it comes crashing down with a force more deadly than a plane crash that whatever remains of your heart thereafter will be as good as dead. Alighting from the taxi when i got to my destination, i called Kelvin on phone. “hullo dear, how are you doing?” he greeted as soon as he answered my phone call, “i’m cool, hope you are at home?” i asked sweetly, “sure, i’m just resting” he answered, “beautiful. I’m right at your door” i informed him with a laugh, “huh!” he exclaimed, “serious?” he managed to ask, “just open the door jare” i commanded and hung up with a smile. _____ Kelvin was extremely shocked to me. The expression on his face as he welcomed me said it all. Of course he had every reason to be surprised but shocked?, no he had no reason to be shocked. However he tried his best to act cool and loving by making sure i had a very wonderful evening. He took me out for a lovely dinner and later wrapped it up with a very memorable sex.. I must confess that his behaviour played down my fears but as a woman it never stopped me from noticing how nervous he was and how he fidgeted each time his phone rang. I felt he was hiding something but then i waved my fears aside In other not to be too nosy since i was being treated nicely without anything serious to complain about.

For example, i rented this little apartment with all my savings, immediately you employed me” he explained calmly, kissing my neck again. “but working with you got me to see life in a different perceptive. It made me realise that sometimes, the things we climb up the mountain to search could be within our very reach without us realising it. Working with you got me to see what a real woman is all about. A real woman is divine, strong, ambitious, passionate, friendly, helpful and overly beautiful. It took me two days of working in your hotel to fall in love with you. I had to hide it of course, but it wasn’t easy till last night when the feelings overwhelmed me” he spoke nicely, caressing me as he showered me with beautiful words. I never knew a Nigerian could be so romantic with words. “so what do you want with me?” i managed to ask. He breathed deeply and licked his lips, “my intention is to lock you up and spend every moment of my life worshipping you” he replied and made for my lips with great passion. I was so carried away by the euphoria of his romance. My lonely heart couldn’t sense the deception in him. To me he was my ideal man, my creation, my everything. “you can move in with me if you want. My place is very big and empty which you know. We can stay together while i use my connections to find you a better job” i offered with a pure heart. “no no i can’t be a burden to you. I’m so ashamed, i have my pride to protect” he murmured with a coloured face which made him look very innocent. I hugged him calmly, my eyes wet with tears. It’s really hard for we ladies to fall in love, but when it does happen, we do fall with all we have got. We do fall with our body and soul. I told Amara all about the new plans i had for kelvin but unfortunately she wasn’t too pleased with it. “i’m not against you helping someone in need, but doing it for love or to get something in return is what i won’t approve. I need not go further in this silly idea of yours” she said with a smile, expertly waving the topic aside. I paid no heed to her and went ahead with my plans, travelled to Abuja days later and met Maj. Gen. Johnson who was a family friend and a very influential Army officer. He had strong connections with the ruling class and was in a good position to help. I presented Kelvin’s case to him and had a hard time convincing him to help. He finally agreed after striking a deal with me. Three weeks later, kelvin got a very lucrative position at the federal ministry of finance. To him It was a dream come true. The love we made the night we got the news really was very stunning. He took me to paradise a hundred times over. “you are more than an angel” he kept whispering in my ear all through the night. ____ He left for Abuja days later with his hopes, plans and expectations on the high side. I made sure he had everything he needed, virtually paying for all of them. Our relationship continued as i hoped, We spoke almost every hour and we equally visited each-other as often as possible. Each visit revealed how well he was doing for himself. In the first week of december 2009, he was used on a money laundering scheme {which really was the deal i struck with the Army General months back with my position as surety. It was because of the laundering scheme that he got the job in the ministry of finance}. He returned a week later with his share of the loot. A very substantial amount which could make a bank manager gasp with wonder. He came running back to me, full of gratitude and love, surprising me with stunning gifts which left me totally happy. Everything was going as i wanted. I was so happy, very happy. He proposed the next day, Sending my happiness to the limit. “will you marry me?” he asked as we showered together after a night of passion. I couldn’t believe my ears, “huh?” i murmured, cleaning my face with speed. I opened my eyes to see a well shaped golden ring greeting me with its sparkle. “so what are your plans?” i asked hours later as we lazily laid beside each other on my bed. He breathed deeply, kissed me and smiled. I really was on top of the world, i havn’t felt so happy in a long time. I stared at the beautiful ring on my finger, my head swelled with satisfaction. “i have a whole lot of things going through my mind at the moment. I feel like marrying you right away but i still have a long way to go” he answered and bit my ear softly. “you know i’m still a nobody?, i can’t just walk up to your dad and tell him about my intention. He will be disappointed, seriously” he added with a sense of humour. I eyed him, saying nothing. “i plan on renovating my dad’s house this december, and equally start up a more fitting building in the village, plus bills and everthing. But then i will deprive myself of buying my dream car and it’s a very painful sacrifice to make.

“wow what a surprise. It’s so beautiful” i screamed with great delight while he smiled happily. “i’m glad you are happy. Seriously i do owe you a lot. I just don’t know how to repay you for turning my life around. You are an angel” he said sweetly. I blushed over his nice words. I was so carried away and happy. “how about we hang out later in the evening. It’s my own way of saying thank you over this beautiful gift” i added and winked at him. “sure of course” he accepted without any hesitation. I breathed deeply. There was no doubt he was finally mine. ____ We had a very wonderful evening at Mbari kitchen where we spent close to two hours gisting and joking. He told me funny stories about his university days while i used up my energy laughing over his funny tales. He really was perfect in everything. He kept saying the nicest things, filling my head with nice words that melted my heart like an icecream. I so much enjoyed the evening. We ended up at his house by 9pm, because I gave him a ride home since he had no car of his own. “i so much enjoyed the evening. Thanks” i breathed with delight as he made to alight from my car. He froze for a second, drew close and {switched on the car interior light} which instantly shone on us, lightening up his face. My heart throbbed widely as we silently stared at each other. I so much wanted him to brave up and get his feelings out. Slowly his eyes fell on my chest, devouring my bosoms which were half exposed under the revealing blouse i wore. My heartbeat increased, my expectation grew immensely. I knew something was bound to happen. “let’s have another drink in my apartment. The night is still young?” he suggested with a dirty smile, “hmmm is that a good idea?” i pretended to hesitate. “sure yes. I don’t want this wonderful moment to end so søon” he murmured. I rolled my eyes, breathed deeply and followed him without another word. Finally, as soon as we got to his apartment and the door shut behind us. He held me strongly and kissed me with great passion. My head instantly overflowed with desire. “forgive me. I have being dying in silent for so long. I want you” he breathed. His eyes strong with great passion. I closed my eyes. I just couldn’t say anything, i was so overcome with happiness. we were soon on his bed where he took his time making love to me. He was so accurate. His kisses were so on point. His caresses strong and superb. He simply lit my body on fire, while i moaned away with all my might. He was so wondrous. “i love you with all my soul. You can’t just imagine the kind of love i have for you” he breathed into my ear when we were done making love. I smiled and looked up at him lazily. ” I Love you my queen” he murmured before brushing my lips with his again and sending me back to paradise. “I wish i have something better to offer you. I’m just a poor boy with nothing” he suddenly added, dropping his face sadly. “you know when my parents abandoned my siblings and invested in me with everything they got. They thought once i graduate, that their sacrificies will be repayed. But here i’m years after graduating. I still have nothing. Since I’m unable to offer my family anything, what then can i offer to a rich wonderful lady like you?” he lamented, leaving me extremely touched by his outburst. “you shouldn’t be saying such things in our first night together” i pleaded with great feelings. He breathed deeply and kissed me again, “yea you are right, but i’m scared you will get over me someday, moreover i’m your employee” he concluded. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply. “kelvin please it’s okay” i commanded with a sigh. He nodded, smiled and buried his face on my bosoms, tickling me at the same time. His words really had great effect on me, pushing me to discard my selfish interest and help him further. I had the contacts to get something good for him, but it could only mean that he wouldn’t be under my care and control anymore. I made up my mind that same night to push him into greatness. “He is mine already and nothing will change it. Polishing him more will equally be good for my image” i reasoned. I never knew the cunning bas.tard simply wanted to use me as a stepping stone. I was so fu.cking decieved into believing he was in love with me. As i prepared to leave early the next morning, he carried me on his laps, kissing my neck profusely. “I hope last night meant a lot to you?, because it did to me. I’m so scared of many things” he whispered and bit my right ear. My body quickly lit up again. I felt intense heat underneath. “seriously you don’t have a girlfriend?” i asked curiously, my feminine feelings taking control of me. He breathed deeply and dropped his eyes. “no girl likes a boy who has nothing to offer. I have no girlfriend, moreover it hasn’t been long i started working for you and It will be foolish of me to go after girls when i have loads of things to do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
