Have You Ever Used Facebook To Break Up A Relationship?



Query:

I'm writing an article about technology and the role it now
plays in "break ups." An increasingly number of people are
breaking up via text, email, Facebook message, and GChat (even
long term couples). Is this at all ok? Are there certain rules?
Exceptions? Why do people do this? Any opinions on the matter
will be appreciated.

Requirements:

Anyone who is familiar with this growing trend.

Single Girl Infects 90 People with HIV/AIDS

The shocking news of a 1st year student at Moi University who infected 90 people with HIV/AIDS virus in only 60 days has sent shivers down the spines of those who had sex with her, their lovers, spouses and others in relationship with them after the girl even went ahead to expose their names to the Kenyan Daily Post.

Another female student at University of Nairobi had also claimed that she infected 322 men with HIV/AIDS.
“I am a student and I am HIV-positive. I swore I would spread the thing because I got infected during my first experience. I have slept with 322 guys in my campus and two outside. I wanted to infect 2,500 people but the guilt is now killing me,” she said in a text message she sent to a close friend.

How Cheating Destroys Lives


How Cheating Destroys Lives

Cheating in relationships is as old as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and many people have lost their lives, because of cheating. Jealous lovers and couples have shot and killed their cheating partners and others have left their lovers maimed and scarred for life. Countless narrative tragedies on the consequences and repercussions of cheating have been produced in drama played on stage and shown in movies and published in stories. But these horrifying and terrifying incidents and tragic narratives have not stopped lovers and couples from cheating on themselves. Some cheaters must have been born or cursed to cheat, because they cannot stop cheating in every relationship.

See Most Evil on Wikipedia.
Most Evil is an American forensics television program on Investigation Discovery presented by forensic psychiatrist Michael Stone of Columbia University. On the show, Stone rates murderers on a scale of evil that he has developed. The show features profiles on various murderers, serial killers, mass murderers and psychopaths.

I have seen how cheating has caused irreparable damages to marriages, families and friends and I actually lost a cousin who was very close to me in unfortunate circumstances caused by cheating.

My uncle rejected my cousin when he was born, because his wife had him from sleeping with my uncle’s cousin whilst she was visiting our village. My uncle ended his marriage with his adulterous wife and married another woman. But by our native tradition, he had to still keep my cousin who was innocent of the unfortunate circumstances of his adulterous birth. And it was kept as a secret from him as he grew up as one of the four sons of my uncle and his adulterous wife who remained as one of my closest aunts till her passing in 1998. But before she died, my cousin quarreled with his wife and in the hot exchange of derogatory insults, she dropped the bombshell that was the best kept secret in our village. He had accused his wife of cheating and she retorted that he was a product of his cheating mother!
“You should better go back to your real father in the village,” she said aloud and clear. Then she told him the circumstances of his adulterous birth.
My cousin froze in shock.
He confronted his mother who had already suffered decades of stigma and trauma as an adulterous wife and was in fact having stroke. It was like opening an old wound that she thought had already healed. She was shattered. My cousin asked his older brothers if they knew what his wife just divulged.
“So, she knows your real father? Let her go and show you who he is,” they all replied in anger and they would have lynched his wife, but she had fled to escape from their wrath.
My cousin was heart broken. His life was no longer the same. He now recalled many incidents of how his brothers did not really bond with him and could now remember how others looked at him in a queer way whenever he was in our village. He had grown up living as one of the privileged sons of my rich uncle, but now he knew the bitter truth, that he was in fact the son of that poor uncle in our village. In his state of depression in this agony of the irony of life, he left Nigeria to start a new life in a foreign country and he cut off from almost every relation, including myself, because I was guilty of keeping the secret of his adulterous birth from him. He was so shattered that he no longer cared much about his future again and was later implicated in a criminal liaison, got arrested and tortured in police detention and was only released before he would die in police cell. It was a miserable way to die.

Another sad incident was how cheating broke the heart of a girlfriend, destroyed a marriage and left the unfortunate victims with stigma and trauma.
A girlfriend was engaged to a randy boyfriend who was employed as a driver in Nigeria’s LNG company and in the daily routines of his job, he met the weak wife of one of his bosses whilst he was chauffeuring her to the clinic for medical appointments and later seeing her whilst her husband was at work and their illicit sexual relationship began. His girlfriend found out and queried him, and he admitted it. She warned him to stop and he beat her up for not keeping her mouth shut. My friend took back the spare key she had given him to her flat and ended their engagement. The management was informed of the scandalous affair, but said it was the private problem of the workers involved and did not do anything to discipline the driver since his private affairs did not disrupt his work. The husband of the adulterous woman had a nervous breakdown and had to be transferred to another station. My friend relocated to the UK. But the shameless driver still continued his work at the LNG Company on Bonny Island.

Knocks from the Past

Another incident was the case of another person I know very well who is often haunted by the ghost from the past. The nightmare of her unhappy birth, because of the dispute over her paternity. She was rejected by her father at birth, because he accused her mother of adultery. So, my friend was treated as an outcast for over five years before she was welcomed into the home of her “father”, but her other brothers and sisters knew the truth. One of the sons of the other wife of her “father” took advantage of her in her early teens and she lost her virginity. She felt guilty and thought it was an incestuous affair, but he knew that it not so, but could not tell her the secret of her controversial birth. Her mother did not tell her the truth, because of the fear of the stigma and trauma it would cause her. But she was not the only one, because rumours of adulterous affairs in her polygamous were the juiciest topics on the grapevine of the village gossips and she overheard them as they were spread from ear to ear. They pointed out her peculiar features that did not resemble those of her “father”. They said she obviously looked more like a northerner than a south-southerner in physiognomy. And she had felt the claws of fate around her whenever others also pointed out the same observations whenever they saw her pictures or met her among the northern neighbours of her mother.
“Is this why my mom is so comfortable living here in the north and even feels more at home here than in Ikot Abassi?”
“Is that why Yakubu Mohammad even wants to marry me?
“Could this be the reason Peters treated me with scorn after having his own turn on me?”
These inquiring and intriguing questions raised my issues and increased her doubts over present state of origin.

The last case in this article of true life cases of the evils of cheating happened in Surulere where I reside presently.

A husband nearly had a heart attack when he found out that the beautiful 18 year old daughter he had been a father to and spent millions of naira on her upbringing was the product of his wife who cheated on him before they got married and lied to him that he was responsible for her pregnancy. She gave birth to a bouncing baby girl he adored and raised her until he got the shock of his life when he found out the truth. He did not tell the innocent daughter the truth until after he in revenge induced her into sleeping with him and impregnated her. Then he told her the truth and she was shattered. She was so infuriated that she would have killed her wicked mother, but he restrained her and both of them abandoned their home and left town. The man is now the father of a baby from his “daughter”.

The unfortunate victims of cheating, adultery and other acts of infidelity and unfaithfulness in relationships are legions. And they are scarred for life with many still unable to recover from the Post-infidelity Stress Disorder (PISD).
That is why cheating is one of the worst evils destroying lives in the world. And that is why we must not condone it.

For help and healing, I recommend the following books you can order by clicking on the titles and the images at the end of the article.

She Came To Me In Tears


She told me things were now so bad for her family that feeding was even difficult for them. And they have an eviction notice deadline threatening them as well.
She could not even repair her faulty Blackberry and now returned to her old feature phone she had to hold with a rubber band.
She was now a shadow of the tall black, bold and beautiful model who braved the stormy weather to attend the second edition of our annual film festival over a year ago.
She was feeling really miserable as she came into my office and even dressed like someone who was mourning in a black gown with a black weave on and black shoes to complete the picture. I put my arms around her to comfort her, because at this moment she really needed a hug of sympathy.
Telling her to smile in the face of adversity would not really help now.
What mattered most was to comfort her.
But what of all the big boys and big men she was name dropping and all the Salsa at the upscale clubs in Ikoyi and Victoria Island in Lagos? And she dated a few, including two married ones.
"Oh, they cannot help me."
"Really?"
They have had their turns, dumped her and moved on to their next targets and they do come cheap in a country where over 85 million of the people live below the standard poverty level and over 33 million of them are jobless.
YouWin or not, majority of Nigerian youths are literally living like paupers now and left with defeatist and escapist resolutions and in fact many are committing suicide whilst their rulers and accomplices are still dining and wining from Delta to Abuja and from Lagos to Kano.
Then she dropped the most urgent affliction.
An infection that would cost her over $100 to cure.
[i]The wandering chickens have come home to roost [/i].
This is a common infection among those who have to share toilets with several co-tenants in tenements, in hostels on campuses or at clubs.
The description can be nauseating. So, let me not give you the ugly details.
Many poor girls have this infection in their private parts and still go on to have sex with as many boys and men who can pay their bills and end up sharing and spreading the contagious disease.
But ignorant guys who cannot control their lust become their willing victims as they chase and sleep with anything with a VAGINA even if she has a leaking vagina with a sore, they careless. And the married ones have passed on the disease to their innocent wives and girlfriends along the way.
The litanies of woes are endless.

She needed help and needed it urgently.
Her baggage is no longer "Its my life. Please, let me be. Mind your business."
Her misery is now my burden and the burden of the next person she would break down for.
[i]My dear, your life is everybody's business, because when the cookie crumbles, and troubles come to you, you will need more than your two hands to pick up the pieces or even take your pills [/i].
That was how the Nigerian Facebook murder victim became everybody's nightmare after she did not even tell her ignorant parents the business partners she was flying to see in Lagos. It was her business and they paid for her flight and hotel accommodation. Then later raped and murdered her. And all the time and money spent on her education and welfare by her parents, friends and others became wasted. Now you see that your life is everybody's business now or at the end of it all.
Or will her corpse carry and bury itself?
As Rick RO$$ sang lately, [i]Hold Me Back niggas[/i].

Almost every Nigerian girl ends up like this one in tears now one day, because they have either ignored or failed to learn from the past mistakes of others and thus failed to learn from the lessons of life in this fair and foul world.

"You need a job that will guarantee a regular income and I will see what I can do assist your family before the Shylock landlord evicts you."
The worst thing that can happen to you in Lagos is to be broke and homeless.
She got some money for her transport fare back home.
She has been the one visiting me and I have never visited her, but only spoke a couple of times to her mom on phone.
I hardly visited any of these girls since I returned to Lagos about four years ago.
One of them had to hold on to my book to compel me to visit her after 10 years.
Even when one of them thought I came to see her, I said that it was her mom I wanted to see.
I cannot care for everybody.
I am not Jesus Christ.
At the bus stop, she broke down again and I had to use my fingers to wipe away her tears as passers by in vehicles and on foot could not help but look. I had to return to my office and think of what to do to help her out of her present embarrassment and predicament.
But it will surely pass.

Miracles of Moringa Tree




Do you know that Drinking Moringa Tea increases a woman’s chance of getting pregnant?


Moringa is called the Miracle Tree for good reason. Moringa leaves, pods, flowers, fruits, roots, bark, and Moringa seeds can all be utilized.

Moringa is rich in many vitamins, including Vitamin A, several forms of Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin E. In fact, it has more of these vitamins than a variety of foods that all claim to be excellent sources of them, such as carrots, oranges and milk. These vitamins provide a number of recognized health benefits.

Moringa leaves have a few specific benefits that must be touched on as well. Protein is a vital nutrient found in the leaves of this tree. There is twice as much calcium in Moringa leaves than in milk. Iron is found in large quantities in Moringa leaves as well. In fact, there is three times as much iron in this plant than in spinach. Along with these specific nutrients, the leaves can be consumed to stimulate your metabolism, thus aiding in weight loss. This is possible because Moringa provides energy without sugar. The leaves can also be used to beautify your skin, thus they are commonly taken as supplement by women looking for healthier skin.


Moringa seeds have a number of benefits specific to them as well.

How Moringa Oleifera Tea Works

Recent independent studies conducted by Brunswick Laboratories showed that Moringa Oleifera leaves have the highest ORAC value of any food yet discovered. Measured at 157,000 umoles on the Oxidant Radicals Absorbent Capacity (ORAC) scale, Moringa Oleifera has surpassed all known superfood antioxidants such as green tea, blueberries, and acai berries. Antioxidants are essential nutrients that prevent cellular damage and decay slowing or warding off aging and a variety of other disease. Free radicals are created when oxygen interacts with molecules and created cellular damage. Antioxidants, like those found in Moringa Tea, act as a natural and effective defense against free radicals and effectively neutralize their effects within the body.



Moringa Oleifera leaves, which are used to create Moringa Tea, are packed with antioxidants called “flavonoids.” These “flavonoids” are naturally occurring antioxidants include quercetin and kaempferol. In fact, Moringa is far more potent, according to recent studies, than even the purest green teas in its ability to provide powerful and potent antioxidants to the body.
