I know what some of you are thinking already: She must be single, lonely and bitter! Well, you couldn’t be more wrong! I hate Valentine’s Day because of several other reasons. So I’m going to attempt to write this post without coming off as an angry woman.

As we all know, it’s the Love Season. A lot of single ladies feel worthless and unappreciated because their friends who are in relationships will not shut up about what their partners will be buying them on Valentine’s Day. Some of you fail to realize that some of these people are not even in happy relationships. But it’s the “season of love” and everybody wants to feel special so they hold on to nothing, hoping to get that nice gift, and after rubbing it in your single friends’ faces, you cry yourself to sleep at night because your life sucks.

 This is the time when females call up their loser ex-boyfriends, hoping to get back together because they don’t want to be alone. You know he’s still the jackass that cheated on you, probably with one of your home girls but you don’t care. You just don’t want to be alone on Valentine’s Day. I call this time of the year “The Or Else Season.” I know it sounds cheesy but whatever. Guys feel the need to buy something expensive for their partners not because they want to. They just have to do it, or else they will get in trouble. As a female, you know there are no emotions attached to the gift. You know he didn’t put any thoughts into it but it’s better than nothing.

A friend of mine was complaining bitterly about how he has to spend money anytime it’s his girl’s birthday or when it’s Valentine’s Day. I know there are other guys out there just like that who only do things for their partners on their birthday or Valentine’s day. SHAME ON YOU! See I don’t have a problem with buying gifts for your partners. But what happened to just showing your affection for someone without waiting till Valentine’s Day? You don’t have to wait for it to be your partner’s birthday or Valentine’s Day before you do something special.

I don’t hate Valentine’s Day because of the gifts, come on, women love gifts! I guess you can call me “old-fashioned” but I like spontaneity. Make everyday a Valentine’s Day. NO! This doesn’t mean you should buy me a gift every single day. Whatever you do, put a little romance and some thoughts into it. Don’t do something nice for me just because it’s my birthday. You don’t have to go to Wal Mart to get a card. Why don’t you make one and write your own words into it. It means a lot more and it’s memorable. Occasionally surprise me because you want to, not for any particular reason.  I like simple things like that. But I’m only speaking for myself here. Most females these days don’t even take it easy on the men. You know how big your man’s bank account is but because it’s Valentine’s Day, you want him to buy you that big diamond, so you can show it off to your single friends and make them feel like crap.

This is the time of the year when people talk about how much sex they are going to have. So what happened to the other 11 months in the year? Are you saying you have not been getting any? So you only get to have sex on Valentine’s Day? I mean what makes the sex on that day so special?

And we have the females who buy gifts for themselves, take pictures of the gifts, log on to facebook and then post the pictures with captions like “awww my boo got me these. He loves me so much” News Flash: Everyone knows you’re single! The only person you’re fooling is yourself. And that’s just pathetic!

People fail to realize that it’s just ONE DAY! It’ll be over before you know it! So you decided to make other people feel like shit because your “boo” got you a bunch of roses and some expensive chocolate. Guess what? The roses are going to die in about a week or two. You will eat the chocolates, gain at least 10 pounds, and he will dump you because you got fat! Who’s laughing now?! How’s that for a Happy Valentine’s Day?!

These are the reasons why I cannot stand Valentine’s Day. LOL. BYE!

A chef in England has made an aphrodisiac Valentine’s Day treat made from bull testicles. Charlie Bigham is promoting his cock and bull pie as an alternative to asparagus and oysters and other traditional romantic food.

‘Ever since 1996 I’ve been making my delicious food with all the care that you would if you had the time. After all, there’s (almost) no better way to get together than over a delicious, freshly prepared meal,’ Mr Bigham said

BOLD CLAIM: Charlie Bigham says his cock and bull pie is perfect fare for this Valentine's

Bull testicles are said to be full of ‘sexually stimulating ingredients’ and have a long history of being used in Chinese traditional medicine for that purpose. The pie, which also contains ginseng and Mama Juana liquor, is being sold by Ocado.com from Saturday, although the online retailer has already warned of ‘very limited availability’.

If you are feeling unpretty you can change you right? Thanks to plastic surgery you can do virtually anything to change every part of your body. Saying that, I wonder why some people do though?  After going through this gallery and seeing how these procedures can go wrong, one begins to wonder why people go through so much to alter their looks.

Look at the bright side, you have 3 equal toes

Nzeka Christian, 26, has been nabbed  by  officials working at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos for attempting to smuggle.

Sources say that in a bid to seek spiritual support he decided to sleep in the church some days before embarking on the journey. He was said to have appealed to the pastor of the church he slept in to pray for a successful business trip to Malaysia.

NABBED: Nzeka was caught by NDLEA officials as he tried to smuggle drug outside of Nigeria

Innocently, the pastor who was not aware of the nature of his business, prayed for him. The suspect was alleged to have packed hard drugs worth around N5 million in two big tins of tomato paste. The drugs were to be trafficked to Malaysia but he was caught out during the outward screening of an Egypt Air flight that was bound for Cairo.

You must have heard people wrongly pronounce the ‘ru’ of “February” i/juː/ you rather than /ruː/ roo, as if it were spelled “Feb-u-ary,” or maybe you wrongly pronounce it yourself. I’ve actually heard people pronounce it “Feb-ry.” Now, here’s the right pronunciation (click)

Apart from the Valentines’ day and being the shortest month in the year (Julian and Gregorian Calendar), with 28 days in common years and 29 days in leap years, here are some other interesting facts about FEBRUARY.

In common years, February starts on the same day of the week as March, and November, but on the same day as August in leap years, like 2012.

Horoscope: February 1 to 18th falls under Aquarius, while the rest of the month, Pisces.

Symbol

• Its birth flower is the violet (Viola (plant)) and the common primrose (Primula vulgaris).^[4]
• Its birthstone is the amethyst. It symbolizes piety, humility, spiritual wisdom, and sincerity.
• Its Zodiac signs are Aquarius (until February 18) and Pisces (start at February 19)

February is the only month of the year that can pass without a single full moon. It is also the only month of the calendar that once every six years and twice every 11 years, will have only four full 7-day weeks. Where the first day of the month starts on a Monday and the last day ends on a Sunday, this was observed in 2010 and can be traced back 11 years to 1999, 6 years back to 1993, 11 years back to 1982, 11 years back to 1971 and 6 years back to 1965; and so on twice 11 years consecutively and once six years either forward into the future or back into the past. This works unless the pattern is broken by a skipped leap year, but no leap year has been skipped since 1900 and no others will be skipped until 2100. (Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years.^[2][3]) A year of this kind would be a common year starting on Friday. It cannot happen in a leap year.

A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered that a Nigerian, Rasheed Mustapha, be extradited to the United States of America for allegedly stealing $798,907.62 (N125.3m) in that country. The verdict came after a lot of drama between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Mustapha, who through his counsel, Joseph Nwabike, fought the extradition order. Nwabike had argued that the court was not competent to hear the extradition charge. He added that he could not be extradited because of the alleged offences, more so, when the offences were not against any Nigerian law.

The office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, which filed the extradition order on behalf of the EFCC, had explained in the order that, “… a request has been made to Nigeria by a diplomatic representative of the Embassy of the United States of America, Abuja, for the surrender of Rasheed Abayomi Mustapha who is jointly a subject of a superceding indictment in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Case Number: 08-CR-429 and filed on the 31st day of October, 2011.”

EXTRADITED: Rasheed Mustapha is to be extradited to the USA for defrauding the country of $780,000

Some of the charges against Mustapha in the USA include, “Conspiracy to violate the laws of the United States, in violation of Title 18, United States code, Section 1349, namely mail fraud, which carries a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment. Mail fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1341 and Title 18, United States Code, Section 2.”

The letter had added that each count was punishable by a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment. In her ruling, Justice Patricia Ajoku dismissed the preliminary objections, stating that based on the Nigerian constitution, the court was competent to decide the extradition of the accused person.

She subsequently said the accused person should be extradited to the US to face the charges. Ajoku also faulted the accused person’s argument that the offences were not known to the Nigerian laws. EFFC Acting Head of Media, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said from the commission’s investigation, Mustapha and his collaborators conspired to steal $798,907.62 in distribution cheques.

He said, “Of that amount, $750,651.48 was actually issued and deposited into bank accounts controlled by members of the syndicate. The sum of $500,000 was withdrawn and distributed between Mustapha and his group.

“Mustapha, 37, had returned to Nigeria after allegedly committing the crime in the United States. However, collaboration between the EFCC and the FBI led to his arrest by the operatives of the EFCC in May last year.”

The brazen man is yet to be identified by police, despite his face being clearly captured as he nabbed the security camera from a hospital in California.

‘This guy just propped himself up and dismantled the camera and stole it,’ Bakersfield Police Detective Scott Miller

The area has recently been hit by a crime wave of security camera thefts, which, according to police, are attributed to thieves and drug dealers who want to use the surveillance devices for their own homes.  The officer said criminals used the security cameras to give them advance warning on police raids to their property.

DUMB:The thief can be seen grinning at the camera before he stole it

‘Usually they’re going for the infrared equipment, but this guy just went for the camera – it’s the second time he’s done so, We’re getting hit with a bunch of these thefts lately… They’re likely using them to fortify their own homes for surveillance. There’s definitely an uptick.’ Muller said

AS the world battles to stop malaria in line with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a Nigerian pharmacist, Ben Amodu, has laid claim to developing an anti-pyretic immune boosting vaccine for the treatment of the scourge. Amodu claimed that the anti-malaria vaccine, called Saabmal, could confer immunity against malaria for three months and can be repeated over the year “without any single side effects”.

CLAIMS: Nigerian Pharmacist has claimed to have developed a vaccine for malaria, a disease that kills millions around the world every year.

The combination, which he said originated from an experiment from his native Igala herbal vegetables, also has in its blend anti-plasmodia and anti-oxidant mix. Amodu told The Guardian: “Already, the discovery has been sent for publication in an international journal, from where the World Health Organisation took the abstract, analysed, reviewed and adopted it”.

He has a knack for murdering English, this time around former House member, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon has taken it one step higher with his latest comments during an interview about fuel subsidy. In all honesty, apart from some few words he made during the interview, I have no idea what he was talking about. Translation, anyone? O_O

PERMANENTLY VERBOSITY: Patrick Obahiagbon's has invented a new word! CABALOCRACY!

A baby, girl, without hands and legs, has been born in Sandigalua village in Zaki Government Area of Bauchi State. The baby, named Fatima, was born to the family of Ahmadu Didda, a peasant farmer and wife, Rukaiyya, on January 13.

Fatima’s father, Didda, however, expressed gratitude to God for giving them the child, describing her as a beautiful baby. Didda said Fatima was delivered at home and that both the mother and the baby are healthy.

NO LEGS AND ARMS: A baby delivered by Fatima Didda has no arms and legs

He said: “This is a gift from God. But it won’t be easy for us to raise Fatima because without legs and hands, she needs special care and attention. We feel sorry for her but with assistance from government and individuals I know that she will live a good life.”

The couple, however, appealed to both government and well-meaning individuals to come to their aid in order to care for the child.

There are a few looks I think would be nice to try out this season if you find yourself doing the same ol’ kinda makeup.

• Red Lips: Like I always say, everybody can wear red lips…you just need to find the right shade that will suit your skin tone. Personally, I love matte red lipstick. Be sure to use a matching lip-liner to prevent bleeding outside the lips.

• Metallic smoky eyes: Definitely gives off a sexy look for parties or events.

• Dramatic Eye lashes: For those of you who are blessed with luscious lashes, stick to using a mascara that will add volume to them. For the rest of us who do not, wearing fake lashes is not a bad idea at all!

• Purple/Violet Eyeliner: Could be used during the day or at night.

• Dark Blue and gold eye-shadow: This is certainly a party look to try out.

• Dark Green eye-shadow:

• Colorful Lips: This is very “in” right now so don’t dull, my dear!
