The Bodak Yellow rapper took to Twitter on a weekday night to let her legion of fans recognize she vows to never have cosmetic surgery once more when complications have caused physical symptoms and made her miss out on concerts.  I have been figuring out for the past two weeks cause b*tch I ain't obtaining surgery once more however let Pine Tree State tell you I haven't got a headache ever since the 26-year-old star explained.

| EFCC announces plan to clampdown on Illegal use of POS machines Posted: 14 Jun 2019 11:00 PM PDT
This was disclosed by the Makurdi Zonal Head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Johnson Babalola, in an interactive session with Regional Bank Managers at the EFCC Zonal office in Makurdi, Benue State on June 13, 2019. Speaking on behalf of the acting EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, he charged banks to ensure proper monitoring and strict compliance by those to whom they issue POS machines. "We are having serious challenges with the banks giving POS machines to individuals with questionable characters and without proper documentation," he said. He pointed out that there was a need for some of the POS machines to be withdrawn from such individuals. He also warned banks to adhere strictly to the Post-No-Debit (temporary freezing of account) order placed on banks found to be involved in suspicious transactions. "Default will not be tolerated," he said.  He noted that it was unfortunate that some staff of banks were in the habit of giving prior notice to customers whose accounts were being placed on Post-No-Debit, thus "aiding and abetting crime and obstruction of justice, instead of assisting the Commission as stipulated by law". He further urged the banks to "respond on time to the letters of investigations sent to them by the Commission", stressing that prompt response will help in speedy dispensation of cases. "You need to always report any suspicious transactions as required by law," he added. In This Story: #EFCC #announces #plan #clampdown #Illegal #POS #machines Sharing is caring.

| Mom Saves Son's Life By Recognizing Sepsis Signs Posted: 14 Jun 2019 01:22 AM PDT 
One mom in the United Kingdom made a split-second decision to take her son to the emergency room after falling and injuring himself during a zoo visit-and it turned out to be the right move. In an Instagram post that's gone viral, Alexandra Ruddy, a mom of an eight-year-old boy in the UK, shares a story about how she discovered her son to have sepsis, a life-threatening condition through just a scrape on his arm. "A week or so ago the littlest fell over at the zoo," she wrote in the Facebook post. "He took quite a bashing but once we got home I cleaned him up." Alexandra also said she made sure to have her son continue taking care of the wound even after the injury by washing his hands-even at a school-sponsored "farm" day that involved digging. "The wounds didnt look infected- theyd got bigger so I was concerned but they werent gunky etc," she wrote. "Yesterday on our way to the beach he showed me his hand. I wasnt happy as I noticed red tracking down his vein. I then checked his elbow - the same." That red rash sparked her idea to bring her son to urgent care "When the doctor saw it he commended me on [recognizing] it and getting down ASAP. This is blood poisoning/ sepsis. It isnt something you can 'leave' until Monday when the doctors are back in the office," she said. Just FYI: Sepsis , is the body's extreme response to infection, and is a life-threatening condition in which the body actually injures its own tissues and organs. Basically, it's no joke. More than 1.5 million people get sepsis each year in the U.S. and at least 250,000 Americans die from sepsis annually, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) . If left untreated, sepsis can progress into septic shock, which compromises the cardiovascular system and results in very low blood pressure and inadequate blood flow to vital organs, says Carmen Polito , MD, assistant professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine, previously told Women's Health. Luckily, Alexandra's son's sepsis was caught in time and he was immediately put on antibiotics. But now, she's sharing her story to make sure other moms know what sepsis looks like. "If you spot this red line running from a wound along the vein get yourself/ your child seen straight away," she wrote on Facebook. "Hopefully my post might help someone the way my friends post from 2 years ago helped me!" In This Story: #Mom #Saves #Son #Life #Recognizing #Sepsis #Signs Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||
| Dr. Terry Dubrow, 'Botched' Star Says He's Concerned About Cardi B's Swollen Feet Posted: 14 Jun 2019 01:17 AM PDT
Cardi B's been dealing with lingering plastic surgery side effects for a while now. While it's unclear exactly when Cardi got surgery (she reportedly underwent liposuction and breast augmentation surgeries), the Grammy-winning rapper was forced to cancel shows in May per doctor's orders. Cardi also recently shared a pretty shocking photo of her swollen feet after a flight-apparently a complication from her recent plastic surgeries. Turns out, that swollen foot photo seriously concerned Botched star, plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow, MD -and now, he's opening up to TMZ Live to sound the alarm on Cardi's recent surgery side effects. "The fact that her legs are still this swollen indicates that theres something more going on than were actually hearing about," Dr. Dubrow said in the interview with TMZ Live. "Theres an obstruction to flow back to the heart. That means theres a problem from the liposuction in the groin that we dont know about."  Want more advice from Dr. Dubrow? Here's the trendy diet he follows: Clearly, that sounds incredibly serious-and while Dr. Dubrow has never personally checked Cardi out, he still voiced his concerns. What's Dr. Dubrow's advice for the rapper? He recommends a doctor's appointment, pronto. "If you dont behave it can result in a really significant complication that can compromise your life," he said. Dr. Dubrow also went on to warn Cardi that "plastic surgery is as serious as any other kid of surgery," and to treat it as such. "She really needs to get it together," he added. "It just bothers me that shes this far out and still having leg swelling." Here's to hoping Cardi sets an appointment with a doc ASAP, if she continues to have these uncomfortable surgical side effects.

| If she's been single for a long time, here's all to know before dating her Posted: 14 Jun 2019 01:12 AM PDT
Some ladies have become really familiar with the relative peace and quiet that comes with knowing how to be by one's self and enjoying every moment of it. Better single than sorry is a very valid philosophy and to find women who shun societal and media pressures to wait for the perfect one is in itself a blessing. Obviously, however, there are always two sides to a coin and being in a relationship with such women could have it's own little quirks. Here are five of the hitches you might encounter in a relationship with someone who was single for a long time before you came into the picture: Time to adjust It's only logical to give her time to adjust to being in a relationship and doing all the things people in relationships do. Being single for a long time does not automatically mean she'll need more time than the average girl to adjust, but it is something to be expected. Consider it an athlete's rustiness after being out of the game for such a long time. Holding back She's not so used to opening up to people that much anymore. The intimacy of sharing all your fears and worries and lowest moments with your partner will likely be alien to her. It'll be sensible to not push it. Let her move at her own [reasonable] pace but be sure to be there for her.  Mind her space Even people who have been together for long periods still occasionally need space to be by themselves. Your girl has enjoyed and reveled in this privilege for such a longtime and might need it more often than you might expect. Be consistent While things might appear difficult with her from the onset due to the required lifestyle changes, you can't afford to not be consistent in being a great boyfriend. It'll even make it quicker and easier for her to become accustomed to sharing her moments with you. Independent to a fault She'll likely be really independent… almost to a fault. She's spent so long taking care of herself that she'll not see the immediate need for you to do things for her or even get involved in some parts of her life she's enjoyed by herself for such a long time.  | ||

| Women like to demand total honesty from men at all times; but do they really need it? Posted: 14 Jun 2019 12:50 AM PDT  'Even if it's just sex he wants from me, he should say it from the onset.' Can women really deal with this level of honesty without feeling some type of way? Either expressly stated or just simply presumed, women set a demand for men who would be forthright from the very beginning. You hear them say stuff like 'even if it's just sex he wants from me, I'd appreciate it if he says it from the onset.' But the question is this: are women really ready for this level of honesty? Will you truly be cool with a guy meeting you from the very beginning and showing nothing but a desire in your body and the pleasures to be derived from that carnal attraction? Sarah, 26, says she prefers this truth as it helps her decide if she really wants to be with the guy like that or not. "I think I'll appreciate the honesty," she says. "I think I'll prefer to know what I'm getting into instead of being led on with promises of romantic emotions when there's actually nothing but a desire to sleep with me." Asking three other young women between 25-28 produced the same result. These young, upward-mobile professional women all believe that knowing what's happening from the onset is actually the best as it affords them the opportunity to say yes to whatever the guy is proposing instead of being left in the dark as to his true intentions. But this perspective can't be taken as conclusive evidence of women being cool with 100% openness from men, especially when it comes to an expression of intent for sex without commitment. Despite the constant call by women for honest men who will say what they want from the very onset, you'll still find women who can't handle that truth, especially the sexual type. There are women who feel disrespected when a guy expresses a clear sexual interest from the get-go. That a guy would look at them and be filled with lust instead of a romantic interest is something that some women see as an insult on their womanhood. "This happens because women around here are taught that sex is something they give, not necessarily something they enjoy. The way sex is spoken of in these parts will make you believe that it is something a woman gives in return for a man's affection, care and financial support," says Zoey, 29. So to get sex from many of such women, all you need do is profess an emotional connection, fake a romantic interest and show affection even if you do not feel any of such things. Your chances of getting that sex jumps by some 40% if not more. "Women think guys don't know this code but of course we do. So if you are really sexually attracted to a girl and she's forming I don't have random sex and all, just work up some romantic act and you'll be there in her panties in no time. It always works," says a young Lagos bachelor who asked to be anonymous for this piece. This, in a way, explains why many women have experienced guys entering ghost mode immediately after dipping into the cookie jar. He says all you need to hear, makes you comfortable enough to roll in the hay with him, and boom! Off he goes without a trace when he has his fill of your body. Of course, this is a f---boy move. Until more women realise that it is not inherently offensive for men to express their desire for just sex, we may continue to have this problem. If he [sensibly, like a normal human being] says he wants just sex and nothing else with you, just say you are not interested and keep it moving. No need to feel disrespected. It's not [always] that deep. Ladies, if you don't want to have sex with a guy don't tell him it's because you're not in a relationship with him. If you do this, you give him a cheat code and he'll explore it to your detriment. Tell him that your refusal is because you are not interested at all, regardless of the relationship status. Also men need to learn to leave women be, who have expressed disinterest in casual sex. There are more than enough women who would be willing to do your bidding; women to whom that honesty will be such a turn on that they'd have no qualms giving you what you want. In any case, what's most important in all of this is the continuous need for men and women to relate with more openness and honesty. If there's more of this and less of dubiousness and emotional fraud, relationships, all variants of it, will be less stressful than we have it now.  | ||

| 5 conversations you shouldn't avoid in your relationship Posted: 14 Jun 2019 12:34 AM PDT
It's easy sometimes to just ignore certain issues in your relationship instead of facing them head-on and looking for ways to get solutions. If you are the type of partner who shies away from confrontations, you'll be doing yourself no good by allowing far too many things slide without being addressed. If your partner suddenly starts showing traits and attitudes that are harmful to your relationship, it is really better to have a conversation about these things than ignore them and hope they'll just go away like that. You can't wish these issues away. Especially if you regularly feel any of the five things listed below, then you really need to seek answers from that partner or watch your relationship slip out of your grip. These feelings and situations cannot be ignored: Withdrawal You find yourselves withdrawing from each other. The bond is no longer as strong and communication not as great. Choosing not to talk about this is not so good for your relationship. Dwindling trust You somehow find it hard to trust whatever your partner says anymore. No one sees any good in them Everyone of your friends and family see nothing good in him/her. They all can't be haters. Maybe there really is something they are seeing that you are not. Don't just shrug it off. Maybe ask questions? Always selfish They always look for a way to make you put their own needs first above yours. Always. You can't ignore this. Too many fights You somehow find yourself keeping score of the bad things they did. And that's because they just can't seem to do right anymore.

| Why you should never be scared to ask the 'what are we' question Posted: 14 Jun 2019 12:27 AM PDT
If you have ever found yourself with a guy who is taking his time before putting labels on what you have with him, you'll relate well with all the forms of awkwardness, discomfort and fear that's associated with such dilemma. For women who are unfamiliar with this really uncomfortable situation, what happens is that you are put in a position where you are forced to demand an explanation from a guy you have been hanging out, doing stuff with and spending quite a lot of time with. For most women, this need arises when there's been quite a long time between when they met the guy and the present moment in question. The mistake many make is to presume that women who ask guys to declare their intent and to put a label on what's happening are desperate. There's no such thing as 'desperate' if a babe demands answers from a guy with whom she has increasingly been going on dates, spending time, calling, face-timing and basically just doing everything people in relationships do. It is the right question to ask, the right thing to do, whether you are only 19 or already marching fast towards the dreaded 30. Many women also fear that the guy may leave if they ask this question. Some think that asking would unravel some truths they may not be glad to hear. Of course, ignorance of his intention could be the blanket under which you wrap yourself and continue derive the pleasure of his attention, but doing this, continuously silencing the need for this much-needed clarity, is basically a way of shortchanging yourself, denying yourself of an essential truth that you need if you are going to end up happy or bitter. Refusing to ask will only increase the time you spend in a limbo, not knowing where you are headed with him, not knowing if you are investing your emotions in the right place. It is better to discover that what he needs is not what you are willing to offer, or that what he's offering is not what you need at that phase of your life, and break it up before it becomes more of a problem than it has to be. For some guys, asking the 'what are we' question is what propels them into voicing their desire to be with you. Asking could be the propellant he needs to actually let it out. Some will say if you have to ask a man 'what are we' before he declares his interest, he doesn't really like you or that his interest may not be genuine. But that's not true. Some guys are just shy and need a little prodding along. Note that an alternative to asking a man to put a label on what you have going with him would be to just shoot your shot directly. If you are the type of babe who rolls that way, you could just say it directly that you want him to be your boyfriend instead of asking him the 'what are we' question.  It is advisable to allow a reasonable amount of time - 3 months doesn't sound bad – before popping the 'what are we question'. Some have been known to ask earlier or later depending on how frenzied the connection got with the guy. Regardless of the timing you prefer, however, just ensure to ask. Even if you are cool with enjoying a non-conventional relationship like friendship-with-benefits, there's still a need to spell it out. There's a need for you to hear it from him, a need for you to express it to him. Without this conversation, too much is left unsaid between you, and this is what precedes unmet expectations and a lot of bitterness between some men and women. You always need to know what's up. This is what sets the tone for the 'relationship', it is on this knowledge, this agreement, that all the things you do with that man sits and by shying away from asking, you are doing yourself a lot of disservice.

| A heartwarming: 'emotional story that captures the power of love in sickness and in health Posted: 14 Jun 2019 12:21 AM PDT  Isn't it just so pleasant to be in love and to have the most amazing relationships/wedding? I mean, who doesn't want fun trips, romantic dinners, deep conversations, mind-blowing sex and the amazing companionship that blossoms between two people after they understand each other's beautiful souls? Who on earth does not want love like this? Never mind answering, I'll do it myself. No one. Absolutely no one would say not to that. How about love in sickness? How many people would sign up for that? When his/her legs don't work like they used to before, would you still want to stick around to sweep them off their feet? If that your pretty partner's face got burnt in a terrible accident, would she still remain beautiful to you? Would you still be in love with her? Maybe it's time you imagined your present partner in some of these unpleasant circumstances and deeply considered these questions. Life has too many uncertainties, and the risk is real that your partner might lose his/her appealing features, a limb or two, or become affected by a terrible decapitating illness. What would you do then, stick or twist? In a thread [above] about her husband and marriage, shared by Twitter user, Karina Williams [@klwilliams__], this dimension of true love was beautifully spotlighted and appreciated. The Internet of course got so emotional by the tweets and the show of fierce dedication, love and humanity shown by her husband. There are loads of amazing couples out there who would do the same for their spouse even if it was a worse situation, and that is the exact standard everyone in love needs to aspire to. As William Shakespeare says in Sonnet 116, "love is not love which alters when it alteration finds." Before you say you love someone, have you considered where your love would be if that person suddenly becomes weak in sickness or permanently bedridden? Will you still love? Will you still be there with them through all that? To be forever young in health wellness and in love is everyone's desire, but sometimes life hits people with sicknesses and frailties and that is when the presence of love truly becomes tested. Are you the type of partner who fails when your love is most needed, or the type that vanishes? The answer to that is best shown than said.
