Erase Yourself From The Internet With Ease.
Deleting yourself from the Internet is hard work. First, you have to decide where exactly you want to disappear — from social media sites to retailer databases — and then you have to figure out how you're going to do all that. So attention, web users. This is something you'll want to bookmark. A new site called JustDelete.me makes vanishing from the web much, much easier. Created by U.K.-based developer Robb Lewis is a directory of urls that highlights links to pages you may want to remove yourself from, so you don't have to jump through hoops to do so. This includes sites like Facebook, Foursquare, Dropbox and Feedly. Some companies use "dark pattern" techniques, which makes it difficult and tenuous to delete accounts. This is meant to sway users from successfully completing the removal process. JustDelete.me ranks each site's process from "easy" to "impossible," so you know what to expect ahead of time. For example, Amazon.com and the NewYorkTimes.com are rated "hard" to delete, while movie directory IMDB.com and PayPal are listed as "easy." Sites such as Pinterest and Netflix are "impossible." The next time you want to call it quits with a site, visit JustDelete.me and save yourself a headache. I like this website. NICE.

Another Big Fall Oh Not Again, My Thoughts On Ese Walter/ Pastor Biodun - By Ayobami Oyalowo.
Ayobami did a wonderful job by writing his thoughts on the whole Pastor Biodun/ Ese/ Franca saga. 2 Timothy 2:19 “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” On February 21, 1988, Jimmy Swaggart gave his now-infamous “I Have Sinned” speech as he tearfully spoke to his family, congregation, TV audience, and finally God, saying, “I have sinned against You, my Lord, and I would ask that Your Precious Blood would wash and cleanse every stain until it is in the seas of God’s forgetfulness, not to be remembered against me anymore.
Nigerian Muslims Hold Pro Morsi Rally In Kano, Nigeria.
Thousands of Muslims rallied peacefully in northern Nigeria on Saturday to demand the return of Egypt’s Islamist former president Mohamed Morsi. Around 4,000 demonstrators carrying banners and placards chanted pro-Morsi songs and slogans outside a mosque in Kano. Organisers put the number of protesters at 5,000. They said “We call for the immediate release of president Mohamed Morsi and all political prisoners being detained by the illegitimate Egyptian authorities,” protest leader Sheikh Abubakar Mujahid told reporters. “Morsi must return to his position as president.” Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation of 160 million people, is evenly divided between a mainly Muslim north and predominantly Christian south. Its sad that they have not protested against Boko Haram killing innocent people both Muslim and Christians. But protesting about something that they probably lack understanding about. I wonder if Arab muslims would protest on their behalf if the shoe was on the other foot. #foodforthought.

My Daddy Wept When Buhari Asked Him To Be His Running Mate.
In this interview with GBENGA ADENIJI, a daughter to Pastor Tunde Bakare, Olubunmi, talks about her life and how her daddy felt was he was asked by Genral Mohammed Buhari to contest for election alongside him:
She is Olubunmi Bakare. The first of five children of Pastor and Mrs. Tunde Bakare. I earned a degree in Political Science from the Emory University, Atlanta, United States.
Did he discuss with members of his family when he decided to contest for the number two office in the country and if he did, what response did he get?
Let me tell you a story about that. I was the only one at home the day Gen. Muhammadu Buhari called him. He was downstairs and I was upstairs. After receiving the call, he ran to my room and broke down in tears. I have never seen my dad cry except for some scenes in one or two Nollywood movies. I have not actually seen him cry. I asked him what the matter was. He said Gen. Buhari just called and asked him to be his running mate. He said people would think his stance on the state of the nation was for political office whereas it was never his intention. I told him the development was totally different from what he stood for because I know that the overriding interest of my father is the growth and development of the country. I remember some of the things he had told us when he was growing up about his love for Nigeria’s advancement. I also remember the dream I had earlier about my father having a significant role to play in the reshaping of Nigeria. I then told him to accept the offer because I know he has a very pure heart. I pray Pastor Bakare is giving the oppurtuinty to serve this Nation. Read the rest of the interview here.........................

People Who Have Sex Four Times A Week Earn More Money.
Having an active sex life plays a major role in your financial success.
Nick Drydakis, a senior lecturer in economics at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, England, found that those who have sex at least four times weekly made 5% more in wages than their counterparts who aren't as lucky. On the other hand, those who don't have any sex at all earned 3% less than those who are sexually active. In the paper titled "The Effect of Sexual Activity on Wages," published by the Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn, Germany, Drydakis writes that sex is a "barometer for health, quality of life, well-being and happiness."The economics professor says that more sex alone won't result in a higher paycheck. However, more sexual activity may result in higher self-esteem, confidence, and overall happiness, which in turn make employees more amiable, productive, and creative. Sex can be an important factor in how satisfied someone is in his personal life, and satisfaction in that area can affect work as well. People need to love and be loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others. In the absence of these elements, many people become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and depression that could affect their working life," Drydakis told Michelle Castillo at CBSNews.com. It's also important to note that more sex can result in higher wages, but higher wages may also result in more sex. "They may increase the value and attractiveness of a person on the dating market," Drydakis says.

"I Will Tear And Burn My Nigerian Passport, Once I Become Canadian" - Oluwakemi Ola, A frustrated nigerian
People who flew, drove or took the bus to come renew their passports express their frustration at the lack of notice about an office closure. *The girl that said she would tear her NIGERIAN passport, I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE SAID THAT!
Honestly, I can't say I'm surprised because this is just the kind of thing Nigerians can do to themselves. When you treat your own people like trash, what do you expect other people to do. This is the reason why other countries treat Nigerians like criminals. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
