8 Reasons It’s Awesome Being A Guy

Why is it awesome to be a guy? Why ISN’T it should be the question. There’s multiple reasons why it’s awesome to be a guy and we’ve got a list of 8 of them here.

1. True Friends – Yep, this goes without saying, but “Bros before Hoes” is something that originated because of the realistic, non fake friendship we have with our friends. Girls change friends and screw each other so much it’s ridiculous. To be able to say that your friends are the same friends you’ve had since high-school is usually something only coming from a male.
2. No Problems with Self-Image – Yeah, we like to look big and some of us wish we were taller, but how many times do you spend 30 minutes in front of a mirror before you go out? Hopefully none of you. Girls start using make-up in middle school and once you go in public as a girl wearing make-up, you only look ugly afterwards, therefore girls are constantly worrying about self-image and must maintain a certain “look” every time they leave the house. We just hop on up and go!
3. No Social Standards – I mean we can’t go running around in public unclad, but as a guy we’re rarely judged by anything else besides personal perception. Instead of people looking at our body ( As girls put upon themselves by the way they dress) for standards of an opinion, people make real, down-to-earth opinions on what they think of us as individuals. AND we can pee outside..
4. No Periods – This goes without much explanation, but the fact that our private parts don’t bleed 7 days out of the month deserves a mention.
5. Sports – People actually give a S#$! about our sporting events. You can say people care about girl’s sports, but where is the money at? At a solid 50:1 Ratio of average athletic salaries for professional sports, I think this goes without much of a debate.

6. Respect – I’m not going to sit here and say what’s right and what’s wrong, but it’s naturally easier to win important decisions, jobs, and general election stuff as a male.
7. Girls – Ha, this might seem weird on this list, but as a straight male, I cannot see what’s attractive in liking a guy sexually, emotionally, or really anything. I’m not going to name off the ins and outs of everything we get to appreciate about a girl, but I’m glad to be on this side of the gender chain.
8. No Drama – When something is going down between two guys, it get’s settled quick and fast. Whether they work it out or get in a brawl, these little arguments don’t last forever and the only drama men find themselves in is drama forced upon them from dealing with girls.

5 Things People Are Afraid to Tell You About Getting Married

You’re engaged. One-hundred-and-thirty-one likes and 21 Facebook comments later, everyone has built you up to believe that you are about to embark on the most magical, exciting time of your life. How did you get so lucky? Man, people should be really jealous of you.

Cut to three months later.
You’re beginning to realize this process isn’t all its chalked up to be. You start scrolling through your iPhone to find people you can vent to. You are dealing with divorced parents and money issues, and somehow the 131 people on Facebook have all disappeared. No one is answering… which leads me to the first thing people are afraid to tell you about getting married:
1. No one cares about your wedding as much as you do.
I know it’s harsh, but if you can wrap your head around this little factoid from the beginning you will be better prepared for some letdowns to come.
You are the only person who is constantly thinking about your wedding. Everyone else has their own lives to worry about. They have jobs, families, and work as well. So while the wedding is at the forefront of your mind, it’s in the back of theirs.
Expect to be let down, for people to not call you back, or to not show up when they say they will. If you go in with this mindset, the letdowns won’t feel so major. You’ll realize it’s not you, it’s just the nature of the beast. They have lives too. And you can’t fault them for that — which leads me to…
2. Being a bride doesn’t give you the right to be a straight up biatch.
It’s like the world knows you are planning a wedding and really likes to kick you when you’re down. It’s easy to take your aggravation out on other people, but try not to.
It’s not just your day. It’s your fiancé’s day too. And don’t forget your parents, friends, and family who’ve shelled out a lot of cash to be there and make this day possible.
So when you feel like you are about to snap, just picture a film crew around you and smile on the outside and cuss on the inside.
3. When it comes to money, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
First and foremost, before you make any plans, take a long hard look at the kind of person you are financially. Are you the type of person who is okay with spending your savings of the past year on a party? Or are you the type who will look back and wish you had put that money toward a house?

Be honest with yourself. Don’t be influenced by what other people say you should do or be pressured to have a wedding you don’t want to have. Go to the courthouse and take a once-in-a-lifetime trip instead. Be real and upfront with yourself from the beginning. You’ll be left without a major bill, and most importantly, regrets.
This is crucial to your mental and financial well being, even if it is derived from a rap song.
4. Everyone else is eating on your tab, so you probably should, too.
I hate when I hear brides say, “Well I didn’t really drink that much or have that much fun. I was too busy saying hello to everyone throughout the night.”
This is the one night of your life where you are given a gift to travel back in time and eat with all of your friends and family. Basically it’s like going back to college, which is the greatest gift one can ever give.
Take advantage of it. Be in the moment. Forget about the part where the cake didn’t turn out right and the napkins were peach and not rose. Have a drink. Let loose and have fun with your new husband. You guys set the tone. If you guys are having a blast, then everyone else is sure to have one as well. And lastly…
5. Don’t lose sight of what the whole shebang is about.
It’s easy to get caught up in the budgets, programs, and seating charts. But don’t forget what it’s all about. You’ve found someone to kick it with for the rest of your life. And that isn’t a simple feat.
Lots of people get caught up in the wedding, which lasts a day, and not the marriage, which lasts a lifetime. Even though every other person on Facebook is posting pictures of weddings and babies, don’t get caught up in the hype. And most importantly, never settle. This isn’t something to enter into lightly.
But if you think you’re ready to take the leap, then do it. Drink, dance your a*s off, and pause for three seconds that night to just take everything in. Time can stop if you let it.

Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) Says Nigeria will Witness Partial Solar Eclipse On Sunday

The National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) has predicted that a partial solar eclipse will occur in different parts of the country on Sunday.

The Director-General of NASDRA, Prof. Seidu Mohammed, made the fact known when he briefed newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday. Eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured.

This occurs either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer as seen from the earth.

Mohammed advised Nigerians not to panic unnecessarily as nothing untoward would happen on that day.

“These things are natural phenomena; Nigerians should not be afraid; the agency has responsibility to the nation, hence the reason for the early warning signal,” he said.

Mohammed said that the partial eclipse would not affect the airspace but advised Nigerians not to think that the world would come to an end because of the occurrence.

Prof. Opara Fidelis, Director, Centre for Basic Space Science, said that different parts of the country would witness the eclipse at different times of the day.

He said that for instance, Abuja would witness it at 1p.m., Lagos, 12:30 p m.; Kano, 1.07 p m. and Enugu, 1.04 p.m.
Fidelis, however, advised Nigerians to wear sunglasses to view the occurrence, adding that the glasses would protect their eyes from damage that might arise.

Meanwhile, the NASDRA director-general said that the agency would provide such glasses for some Nigerians, especially children and selected Nigerians.

He said that the entire African continent would be affected by the partial eclipse, while some other parts of the world would witness total eclipse.

Mohammed urged Nigerians to go about their normal businesses as such occurrences happened occasionally.

He said that partial eclipse would occur in April 2014, March 2015 and September, 2016.

How Iyanya Hit N130million In Endorsement Deals

Successful Singer Iyanya Mbuk has amassed over N130 million in endorsements deals in 2013 alone. Since his highly successful 2012 monster hit single ‘Kukere’, it has been one hit after another, one award after another and one endorsement contract after another for the once impoverished singer.

In the last one year and half, Iyanya has proven that he can be a hit maker disappointing the initial doubts that critics had raised about him when his 2009 debut album ‘My Story’ flopped. Certainly, Iyanya took the lesson of that album and transformed himself into one of the most sought after Nigerian artistes today placing him on the pedestal where corporate organisations would jostle to do business with him.

Three weeks ago, the singer closed a deal reportedly worth N35 million with mobile phone manufacturing company, SOLO Mobile. According to his publicist, Wildflower PR, the deal was iced with a brand new 2014 Prado SUV.

Earlier in May, the 27 year old singer was lucky enough to have been included in MTN’s swoop of some of the major players in the music industry, becoming one of the company’s highest paid brand ambassadors in a N40 million deal.

It sure didn’t end there. When Zinox Technologies Limited, manufacturer of Nigeria’s first internationally certified branded computers was looking for a face to represent its brand, guess who quickly came to mind? None other than the rave of the moment, Iyanya. The Leo Stan-Ekeh owned tech-company put pen to paper, inked a deal and made Iyanya N56milion richer, according to those familiar with the details of the deal.

These endorsement deals have gone on to show the relevance Iyanya has in today’s music scene. Apart from the occasional engagements, the pop star will begin to appear on billboards and TV commercials preaching the gospel of these brands. From all indications, Iyanya, a Business Management graduate of the University of Calabar and winer of the inaugural MTN Project Fame West Africa, has had quite an awesome 2013.

Speaking to NET, Iyanya’s partner Ubi Franklin attributes his success and that of the label to God and hardwork. ‘All thanks and Glory to God because we are actually living out our dream. We are where we are today because of hardwork and passion for what we do.’

On why Iyanya seems to be a choice for these brands, Franklin says ‘I guess they all see the potential in Iyanya. They have seen that Iyanya as a brand can do a lot to promote their own brands. He is one of the hardest working artistes I know and he has worked hard to deserve everything he has earned.’

In less than one year, Iyanya has upgraded his garage with about three exotic cars. Franklin has done the same too, and three months ago, the team acquired a jeep for their artiste and protégé, Nigerian US returnee and singer, Emma Nyra.

The music business is probably one of the most interesting yet difficult businesses in the world and for Iyanya, it’s been one great ride with the prospect of many good things to come.

Deals        -  Amount
MTN         -  N40million
Zinox         -  N56million
Solo Mobile- N35million
