In a recent interview with Entertainment Express, radio personality Toolz talked about the time a guy she liked told her he wasn't interested in pursuing a relationship with her. What she said below...
"There was this guy I met during my final year at the University. He had just moved from Houston and didn't know a lot of people in London and after a few random conversation about course work, he asked me out.

Our first date was amazing and after about a month of seeing each other a few times a week, I was almost certain he was "the one".

After dancing around the issue for a week or two, I was finally brave enough to bring up the "where are we" issue. His exact words were "I really like you Tolu, but I'm not looking for a relationship right now".

I had to take a moment to mentally pick up the fragments of my broken heart, then I smiled at him and said "No worries, it's okay"What is the biggest lesson you have learnt from heartbreaks? "I did learn a valuable lesson from this. One of the worst things you can do in life is to lie to yourself and potentially rob yourself of what you truly deserve.

Whether it be a relationship, a job, whatever situation it is, do your best to be honest with yourself. If a situation isn't giving you what you need, don't fool yourself.

Have enough self respect to say " I am not getting what I want from this situation and I honestly won't be able to settle" she said

I can pay my accumulated debts and I am sure that I won’t be sent packing from the hostel over unpaid accommodation fees,” she said.

President of the Senate Committee, Association of Nigerian Scholarship Students in Russia and a post-graduate student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Volgograd State Technical University, Russia, Akinola Akindamola, thanked the federal government for the prompt response and hopes that by today Friday August 22nd, all of them would have received their allowances "The payment of the money is in process and I am confident that by the end of today, we would all have been paid.

The least problem we want now is to be financially handicapped.

We appreciate the Federal Government for their prompt response.”

Minister of Health Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu announced today August 22nd that Nigeria has recorded two new cases of the Ebola disease.
The Minister said the two new cases are spouses of dead Ebola victims who had primary contact with late Patrick Sawyer, the man who brought Ebola to Nigeria.

Prof. Chukwu said the two new cases are the first secondary contacts in isolation to test positive to the deadly virus.

This brings the total number of cases in Nigeria to 14, with 5 deaths and 5 survivors. Details soon..
Attention, sun bunnies (and reformed sun bunnies): If you haven’t performed a thorough skin check for potential cancers in some time, there is no time like the present. Not only do regular skin checks help you identify moles, you can also track them over time. If you do spot a suspicious mole, make an appointment with your dermatologist — the sooner, the better. Step 1: Make a Map A lot of us are born with moles that vary in size — that doesn’t make them dangerous. But when a mole starts to change, that’s when it becomes poentially dangerous. That’s why the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends making a map of where your moles are as well as notes on its color, size, and shape. Step 2: Look All Over While it’s true that most skin cancers occur on areas that get the most sun exposure, like the face, shoulders, ears, arms, and legs, you can still experience skin cancer in less obvious areas. These include between your toes, on your scalp or on your buttocks. Every skin surface has the potential to be cancerous. Leaving no stone unturned means you can rest assured your skin is cancer-free. Step 3: Know What You’re Looking For Healthy moles tend to be symmetrical, small, and even in color. A standard-size mole is typically no larger than a pencil eraser (although there are always exceptions). Potentially cancerous moles are the opposite. They are unusual in color with irregular borders and can be larger than an eraser in size. Oddly enough, cancerous moles can be as many colors as Katy Perry dyes her hair. While melanomas are often black, they can also be red, white, or blue..

The Lagos State government has announced that 5 new suspected cases of Ebola virus have been recorded at the Yaba Isolation Centre. The state Commissioner for health, Dr Jide Idris made this known today while addressing journalists. Dr Idris said that two of the five new cases were from secondary contacts and that 213 people are now being observed "Till date, we have recorded eight suspected cases, five of which came in yesterday August 19th, 12 confirmed. On the whole, five have died (including the index case). We are currently following up 213 contacts, and 62 have completed the two-day follow-up,” Dr Jide said Dr. Idris used the opportunity to pay tribute to late Dr Ameyo Adadevoh and other health workers who have so far died from the Ebola virus disease. Continue...
"She, (Dr. Adadevoh) it was, who took the initiative to intimate the Ministry concerning the index case – Liberian-American (Mr. Patrick Sawyer) and substantially to her credit the moderate containment achieved is owed. She led the team who attended to the index case. Her doggedness and commitment to duty saw her personally reviewing the case even though the patient had earlier been seen by a doctor.

The Ministry of Health commiserates with their families, co-workers, friends and loved ones on these irreparable losses which was on the line of duty,” he said
Yes, unfortunately it's true. Just confirmed from a family source.Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, theSenior Consultant Physician and Endocrinologist who was one of the doctors who attended to Patrick Sawyer at First Consultant Hospital has died from the Ebola virus which she contractedfrom Sawyer.
Dr. Ameyo died this afternoon Tuesday August 19th at the isolationunit of the Mainland Hospital in Lagos where she'd been quarantined. She died a hero because she was the doctor who refused to let Patrick Sawyer, the man who brought the Ebola virus to Nigeria, leave the First Consultant Hospital in Obalende, Lagos, when he attempted to leave. She saved many lives by doing this. Her death is so heartbreaking.

She's survived by a son and her husband. May her beautiful soul rest in peace...Amen.

A 19 year old welder apprentice was caught yesterday August 19th after having sex with a chicken at the Continental area of Akure, the Ondo state capital.
According to reports by Vanguard, the boy was discovered to have committed the act after the owner of the chicken, Mrs Stella Akintola, who is the boy's neighbor and reared chickens in the compound, heard her chickens making noise inside their pen and decided to go and find out why they were restless. Continue...

When she got to her hen pen, the young man surfaced from a corner and said he had stomach upset and was on his way out of the compound toilet. Mrs Akintola not suspecting anything then moved to use the compound toilet where she discovered one of her chickens lying dead in the toilet.

When she tried to raise an alarm, the young man quickly appealed to her not to shout confessing that he was responsible for the chickens death and promised to replace the dead chicken. However when she examined the chicken with some of her neighbors, they discovered that the young man had actually had sex with the chicken until it died.

His neighbours said it wasn't his first time, that he'd been driven out of his village, Afo in Ose council area of the state after being caught having sex with a goat. He moved out of the village to stay with his brother in Akure where he committed the same act.

When interrogated, the suspect said a spirit actually directed him to commit the crime.

"I was already sleeping when a spirit just came upon me and directed me to go to the back of the building. I did not know what I was doing again until when I discovered that I had slept with the hen.” he said
Kevin Hart has proposed to his long term girlfriend, Eniko Parrish.
He proposed to her yesterday as she turned 30. Kevin posted the pic on the right on his instagram page and wrote;

"Happy Birthday to the most amazing woman in the world. Today is your day babe & we are going to party like it's 1999....I love you so much. I'm a better man because of you. P.S your old as shit now lmao #Dirty30

Then he posted the one on the left and wrote "She said Yessss!.. #Happy #MyRib #iFuckingLoveHerCongrats to them but one person who won't be very happy about this news is his ex-wife and mother of his two children, Torrei Hart, who's claimed in the past that Kevin cheated on her with Eniko many years ago, slamming Eniko for being a home wrecker. In a recent interview, Torriei talked about black men going for lights skinned girls once they reach a level of success. See that after the cut..
Speaking with Cherise Nicole on black men dating outside their race once they are successful, Torrei said
“Honestly, it wasn’t all Kevin’s fault. I won’t say it was all his fault.

Cause I look back now and I take ownership of some of the things I could’ve did differently.

But, I did question my beauty.

I did question like, wow, why is it that all black men, when they reach a certain level, they have to feel like they need someone of another race, or a different skin tone on their arm? And I’m just like, well why aren’t we looked at as beautiful? We’re beautiful black queens! You know what I mean? And I love my black men. You know and I support them 100% And I don’t feel like, once I make it, I gotta go to the other side! You know? And not saying, cause I’ve dated outside my race, I have, but I just don’t feel, like I need it on my arm to feel better about myself. And I just feel like, sometimes our men do.”


On not being bitter and moving on.. "You know they say, she done went crazy! Or bitter! And it’s like no, did you forget what you did? You know, but honestly it’s about how we react to what they do. And you know, it’s about changing your reaction.
And I was hurt. I was deeply hurt, I knew this man, way before any of the celebrity and any of the fame.

And we had children and I thought marriage was forever, but it’s not.

” I just have to accept this situation for what it is and move forward now. That’s when I felt like a load is off. You know I just felt free.

I was like, you know I did a little bonfire in my back yard, I put his name on a list, with everybody else, who during that time, you know, who I thought had my back, but didn’t.

You know, I was like, I forgive this person. I forgive this person.

And I just did a list.

And I went out to my backyard and I prayed on it. And I lit on fire and I buried it and gave it to God.

And when I tell you honey, like chills. I really felt like freedom. I really felt free. So, that was just something I did. You learn what tools you need to get passed certain experiences that bring you down.”
