Check out some changes in behavior that could mean he’s looking for love elsewhere.



The Endless War Against Prostitution

Prostitutes



ANY time I hear that the Police are clearing prostitutes off the streets, I have mixed feelings. I approve of the effort, because they work to clear the streets of what they perceive as nuisance. But I do not always understand the point of doing that, because it does not work.


If those raids have been effective, the commercial sex trade would have ceased to thrive on the streets.
As far as I can remember, I have heard of Police raids in major roads and popular streets in Lagos metropolis, especially.


Do Yourself A Favour, Love Your Event Attendees

EVENT-7-8-15-Copy



EVENTS are hard work. They take a lot of planning, organization, time, money and focus. Sometimes we get so lost in the details that we forget about the people.

 They become numbers on a spreadsheet or name badges at a registration table. Yet, ultimately what is most rewarding about planning events is seeing the effect they have on the people who attend.
Everyone has had an experience of being at an event where they felt like an outsider. If you treat your attendees as ‘just another name badge’ they will leave your event feeling deeply unsatisfied and unlikely to return next year.

Steph-Nora Okere Makes A Rebound With Roberta

Steph


 THERE are no two Steph-Nora Okere in Nollywood. The only person by that name is the multi-talented University of Ife-trained theatre artiste who has remained relevant in the movie industry as butter is to bread.

Time it was when ‘Steph’, as the Imo State native is simply called, featured in six out of every 10 movies released in Nollywood. For most movie producers then, common sense dictated that Steph should be in the mix if the movie required a steady actress. She was that relevant.
