Top 8 Signs To Know If Your Partner Is Cheating On You
There are quite a handful of ways to know if your spouse/partner is cheating on you but here, I'll discuss just eight (8) of them.
I'm writing this from experience because when I cheated on my partner, I did most of them. Be patient and read through, you'll learn something.
1. "I Love You But I'm Not In Love With You."
Once you hear these words, a big warning bell should sound in your head. This is one of the most common things a cheating spouse will say. Your spouse may have a deep, loving bond with you but, intense feelings of passion can override the bond with you and cause your spouse to lose sight of his/her true feelings. A cheating spouse will develop what I call hormone - induced amnesia. The surging hormones and passion they feel in their new relationship can screw the way they think.
2. "We are just friends."
This is one sure statement that will come from a cheating partner. If your partner is spending more and more time with this new "friend," then there is obviously more to it than a mere friendship. Your partner may feel they have a lot in common with this person, that this person understands them and things they are going through not knowing such feelings will only push them away from you. Whatever the reasons for the friendship, it's a big warning sign and one you should take seriously.

3. A sudden need for privacy.
If things the two of you used to share openly suddenly become private pay attention cause something is probably up. When he/she starts to protect their cell phones or computer, my dear, you have to sit-up and be at alert because something fishy is going on. If you ask why or attempt to find out information that used to be common knowledge between the two of you, you will be accused of snooping or trying to control your spouse. Very big warning sign!
4. "I need some space to figure out my feelings."
Men and women who are involved with someone else will request more space, time alone or away from the family. They may say it is due to confusion over their feelings or stress at work. This can be a sign that there is someone else and the spouse is trying to figure out ways to have more freedom.
5. Regular work habits change.
Working late, going to work at odd hours or, putting in more time than is normal on work related issues can be a sign that your partner is giving more time to something else and hides it under the word "Work." Be vigilant when you notice things like this.
6. Secretive phone calls and more time spent on the phone.
Emotional affairs occur primarily via the phone, especially cell phones. If you find your spouse hanging up suddenly when you enter the room or erasing the history on the cell phone and becoming defensive when asked about it, then you might want to check your phone records.

7. Behavior that just doesn't add up.
Not being where he/she was expected to be. Missing time they can't explain. Money that isn't accounted for. Receipts for things you don't have. Missing clothing. Clothing that does not belong to your family. Being caught in little lies about the details of the day. If something is off with their behavior, you should suspect cheating .
8. Your Own fears and suspicions
If you find yourself looking for excuses for your spouse's behavior or trying to convince yourself that they would never cheat then that is a warning sign. Your intuition is frequently one of the best indicators that something is wrong. If you suspect your spouse might be cheating on you, do some investigating and then talk to him/her about what you've found. Do it in a way that is calm and courteous. Ask for honesty. Be prepared for lies, it's a natural thing they must lie but it doesn't mean the love isn't there. Sometimes they lie out of respect. Be calm and friendly, they will open up. It is a sad fact that people having affairs become excellent liars. People who never told a lie before in their lives. Trust your gut instinct but get hard, cold proof also.
Now that you've finished reading this, I'm sure you've learnt a great deal and would love your friends to see this too. Simply share this article on your social media and they'll thank you for sharing this secret with them.
Feel free to drop your comments below or ask questions.

Three Things That Affects Menstruation Flow
Peter Obi: I Will Never Contest Elections Again
|
| Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi |
- Former Anambra State Governor Mr Peter Obi says he won't contest for elections again
- He however declared his availability to serve Nigeria anytime but not in an elective way
Former Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi has declared that he will no longer campaign for any political office in Nigeria.
The immediate past governor said this in an attempt to rubbish rumours linking him with the 2015 Senatorial elections.
While attending the chieftaincy title coronation of his former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Dubem Obaze, at Ochuche in Ogbaru local government area of the state, the former governor used the opportunity to tell reporters about his decision and however said, he is dedicated to serve Nigeria in any capacity.
As his arrival was greeted with jubilation by the audience, the former governor who speaks softly said:
“I started telling people during my second tenure in office as governor that I will not aspire for any elective position in the country, but some people thought I was joking,” Obi said.
“Some have even been speculating that I will be contesting for senate for Anambra Central in 2015 or for another elective position at the national level and I want to say here that I have no such ambition.
“However, I am prepared to make myself available for the service of my country in non-elective position.
I believe that after serving as governor for eight years, I should allow other people go for political offices meant for the state. There is therefore no truth in the rumour that I want to contest for senate next year.”

Charley Boy Disgraces Governor Rochas Okorocha At His Late Father's Burial
|
| Charley Boy and Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State |
- Charley boy stops Governor Okorocha from giving speech
- Accuses Imo State government of lying that they gave the Oputa family N20million for burial
The burial of late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa was yesterday interrupted by his son, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charley Boy when he prevented the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha from paying tribute to his late father.
Our reporters have informed us that while Governor Okorocha was giving his speech as permitted by Rt Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Charley Boy showed his anger by openly approaching the Bishop to ask him why he granted the Governor a speaking audience.
While the Governor was speaking, Charley Boy walked up to the alter and snatched the micro-phone from the Governor, making it an open disgrace as prominent personalities and dignitaries were all seated.
Among the dignitaries present were representative of President Goodluck Jonathan, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Governors Willie Obiano of Anambra State, Theodore Orji of Abia State. Including Chief Emeka Ihedioha, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and former governors of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi and Senator Chris Ngige, just to name a few.
It is understood that Charley Boy said no politician would be allowed by him to take advantage of his father’s burial to attain selfish political goals therefore, he strongly insisted that the Governor would not speak at the burial.
The embarrassment prompted Governor Okorocha and his entourage to quickly leave the service mid-way despite persuasions from the Bishop that they should stay to the end.
We also gathered that what contributed to Charley Boy's annoyance was a recent statement from the Imo State Government house which said the Oputa family were given N20 million in support of their father's burial arrangements which the family didn't receive as announced.
In a statement by the Bishop, he said:
"Oputa before he died, was worried about the quality of Nigerian lawyers and judges because he believed in the judiciary as the last hope of the nation. Today, his legacies are beyond his immediate family."Meanwhile, the state government has labelled the incident as "ugly and regrettable."
Following the incident, Mr Sam Onwuemodo who is the Seniour Special Assistant, SSA, Media, to Governor Okorocha, said:
“It is highly regrettable that the son of the late Justice, Mr Charles Emeka Oputa, aka, Charly Boy, threw caution to the wind and turned the church service into a political theatre that saw him acting or playing out the script he drafted in Abuja with some Imo politicians, who have remained cowed by the overwhelming popularity of Governor Rochas Okorocha.”He also insisted that the Imo State government had supported the Optua family with funds for the burial although he didn't categorically state the N20million.
“We assisted with substantial financial input and also organized a special day of tributes for the late Justice Oputa at the expense of state government with Charly Boy also present with other members of the family.
"We condemn that ugly incident and also wish to advise politicians from the state to stop heating up the polity over power since God is the giver of power. In 2015, God will decide who will be governor of Imo State and when God decides that, there is nothing anybody can do about it.”That was surely embarrassing.

Yvonne Nelson Still Can't Get Over Iyanya
- Yvonne Nelson can't get over Iyanya
Ghanaian Nollywood actress, Yvonne Nelson, still can't get over her ex boyfriend and Nigerian hip hop singer, Iyanya, the Kukere master.
Yvonne, who still looks upset over her breakup with Iyanya, believed their relationship was destined for marriage and due to the disappointment, she takes advantage of every opportunity she has to diss her ex.
In a new movie which features Yvonne and directed by Frank Rajah, she featured as the wife of a man who cannot perform his duties on bed so she carries out a ritual on him and funny enough, Yvonne kept chanting Iyanya's name over and over again during the rituals.
The actress later took to twitter to post the video of the incantation scene.
But now, the funny thing is that she previously castigated Iyanya's name on several occasions, called him bad names and cursed him never to find anything good in life, so.. why does she still show obvious interest in him? LOL.
Anyways, see image of her tweet below:

Nigerian Super Eagles Refuse To Train Ahead Of France Clash Over Appearance And Bonus Fees Agreement
|
| Stephen Keshi addressing the media |
- Super Eagles refuse to train due to appearance fees issues
- The players might refuse to play against France on Monday if an agreement is not reached in time
On Thursday, June 26, the Nigerian football team refused to train ahead of their clash with France in the second round of the ongoing World Cup in Brazil.
The players are said to have taken this decision following a lack of agreement with the Nigerian Football Federation to settle them after reaching the second round of the World Cup.
KayNaija learnt that the players asked for a meeting with the team's management where they requested that part of their money expected from FIFA for progressing beyond the group stage be paid them by the Nigerian Football Federation.
Although FIFA is yet to release bonus funds, the players have demanded that the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, provide it before they take on France on Monday.
According to the Super Eagles, if they eventually exit the tournament on Monday, it would be almost impossible to collect the money from the NFF so to prevent a repeat of what happened following the conclusion of the 2010 World Cup when the NFF delayed payment of their appearance fees, they have demanded to be paid before they play France.
The players were scheduled to train at the Estadio Guarani at 18.00 but refused to train and Head Coach Stephen Keshi spoke briefly to the media in an environment guarded with soldiers and police while fans waited at the training arena in vain.
However, Mr Ben Alaiya, who is the team's media officer came out to tell the press that the players were in a meeting and that the training could still take place as scheduled.
Instead of the players coming out to train as anticipated by their media officer, the players rather dispersed and went for dinner meaning the day's training was cancelled.
Talking about the funds itself, Mr Musa Amadu caught a quick flight from Sao Paolo to Abuja in order to facilitate the release of the money from the responsible bodies.
The fear now remains that the players themselves are worried an agreement might not be reached on time for them to proceed with their clash against France.
The Super Eagles are supposed to arrive Brasilia on Friday afternoon but it is now uncertain if they will board the flight as they previously refused to train.
A similar issue occured in 2013 when the Super Eagles threatened to quit the Confederations Cup over the half payment of their bonus wins.

| Mercy James and baby Miracle |
- Woman gives birth to a baby girl after 14 years of pregnancy
- Hmm, she is unbelievably a single parent
I have often heard stories of how a woman who's been pregnant for years finally gives birth but this one is a bit strange. Mercy James, who has been pregnant for 14 years gave birth to a baby girl on June 7, 2014. Of course, the baby's name has to be 'Miracle'.
Mercy had this to say:
“When I first took in, I knew that I was pregnant with signs and test that confirmed that I was. Four months later, I went to hospital for another test, the result showed that I wasn’t pregnant, but had fibroid.
"Subsequently, I began to experience bleeding, at least once a day. Sometimes, my tummy would protrude in the semblance of pregnancy. I went to different hospitals, and I kept on receiving the same result that nothing was wrong with me. But deep down inside , I knew that all was not well with me.
"So I was taken aback when a midwife told me I was pregnant. But considering the test which showed I had fibroid, I was angry with the midwife for giving me what I felt was a false prophecy of hope. Thereafter, I started going from one church to another and from one native doctor to the other. The results that I got from them all remained the same. I became more feeble and confused that I prayed for death to come.
“I went again to the midwife two years after and complained to her about the pains that I was going through, she told me again that it was not fibroid but pregnancy; she advised me to be more prayerful so that God will deliver me from the hands of the devil. I kept on praying and at the same time asking myself that if truly I’m pregnant, why is it that the baby was not kicking? I bought many concoctions that they said could cure fibroid and drank them. I even drank 12 bottles of a local cleanser but to no avail.
"This went on for years. Then God took pity on me and decided to wipe my tears.On the day I gave birth to my baby girl, I initially thought that worms were trying to come out of my body not knowing that it was a baby. This was what I told the midwife when we came to her. But after examining me she told me to push.Mrs Ajetima, who is the midwife at the Celestial Church in Ajegunele, Kadoso Parish to be precise, and where Mercy gave birth, told Vanguard:
I ignored her. I became unconscious for about 15 minutes and when I regained consciousness, I heard the cry of a baby. I was surprised and confused seeing my baby. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Hmm,I thank God for my life and that of my baby Miracle. I named her Miracle because she is truly a miraculous child”.
“She was pregnant for 14 years and was unable to give birth during this period. Then on Saturday around 6:30am I saw two persons carrying her to this place. When she came inside, I laid her down and asked one of my daughters to examine her, after the examination, I found out that it was a baby that was about coming out and not worms. I asked her to push and she refused. My daughter gave her a hard slap on her laps since she refused to push.
"Behold a baby with placenta came out! I started shouting, calling on people to come and see for themselves that Mercy was truly pregnant, because if not, people will start to say that that Celestial woman has given Mercy a baby. Within a twinkle of an eye, the whole place was filled with people. God is wonderful.”In excitement of the miracle, Odunayo Odeyemi, Mercy's best friend said:
“I have known mercy for over nine years now. I met her with the pregnancy . In fact, she did not know that she was pregnant. I followed her to many places but her problems kept on increasing. Merely looking at Mercy then before she gave birth, you will notice that she wasn’t okay. I kept advising her to have faith in God because I had experienced the same thing. I was pregnant for three years and three months and God delivered me.
“Mercy came to me on that fateful day around 4am begging me to give her a pain reliever, that she was having pains all over her body. I dressed up and took her to a man that sells drugs. After taking the drug, on our way home, she started having serious pains. I called her brother and we both took her to the midwife. Hours later, she gave birth to a bouncing baby girl. We all were surprised because we never expected such a miracle to happen. She had a complete baby.”Asked about the baby's father, Mercy informed that they had separated due to the ordeal surrounding the pregnancy:
“Friday is the name of my baby’s father. Actually, we are not married. He just proposed to me and I became pregnant for him. He knew about the pregnancy. He always gave me money for tests and scans but he got tired and left me after waiting for me for over a year without seeing any sign of a baby. I have no option than to go my own way.”
Wow! I'm still surprised.
Mama G: "I Don't Have Any Man In My Life"
|
| Mama "G" for General |
- Mama G denies having an affair with Delta State politician
- She also says there's no man in her life
Top Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as "Mama G" is deeply upset with the way rumours are spreading around, accusing her of dating Pastor Michael Diden (also known as Ejele), a Delta State politician and former Commissioner at Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC).
She has not just distanced herself from such rumour, she has also used the medium to inform Nigerians that she is not any any romantic relationship at the moment and wonders were such false gossip originated from.
Mama G, speaking with annoyance, had this to say:
"If I am sleeping with any man, it is not an affair because I am entitled to be married. It cannot become an affair because I am not married and my husband is dead.
"Secondly, I don't have any man in my life and I don't intend to have any man. I have friends and I am entitled to my own friends like everyone else.
"It is really annoying when people begin to talk about you with things you never thought of doing.
"So, to clear the air, I don't have any man in my life but friends; both males and females and I am working hard to make a living for myself so that nobody will say he/she is affecting my life.
"I don't even know the person people are talking about. At this age, I shouldn't be thinking about having a lover. Instead, I should be thinking how to work seriously to make Nigeria grow."We've all read her clearly. If you've been involved in such rumours, please, refrain from it and stop appreciating this Nigerian icon with a name scandal.
The Assemblies of God Church Members Clash As Crisis Worsens
|
| Prof. Paul Emeka and Dr. Chi Okoroafor |
- Assemblies of God church members clash in Enugu
- Chidi Okoroafor's anti-Paul meeting said to be the real cause
The crisis in the Assemblies of God Church Nigeria, is getting worse - took a dangerous dimension, yesterday, as members of the two camps clashed leaving some people wounded.
An attempt by the group loyal to the Assistant General Superintendent, Rev. Chidi Okoroafor, to hold anti-Paul Emeka meeting at Isiagu Street, Achara Layout branch of the church was the real cause of the clash.
The embattled General Superintendent of the church, Rev. Paul Emeka, and some top members of the church had engaged in a protracted dispute over issues relating to lack of accountability and conspiracy in the church’s leadership.
The anti-Emeka members of the church’s executive committee yesterday evening arranged a meeting to review the crisis that engulfed the church, following the purported suspension of the General Superintendent by a group in the church.
A member of the anti-Emeka group, Pastor Isaac Ochu, who is the District Pastor in-charge of the church branch in Isiagu street , accepted to host the meeting, even when some leaders of his branch, including the deacons fought against the idea.
Pastor Ochu was said to have announced the meeting last Sunday but his members who were sympathetic to the GS, told him point-blank that such meeting should not hold in their church.
Pastor Ochu was said to have ignored their advice and proceeded to convene the meeting in his church but unknown to him, the deacons in the church had mobilized their colleagues from other branches to block the church entrances.
When the anti-Emeka group sensed a possible unforeseen danger, they reportedly invited soldiers to the church Monday night but were withdrawn in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
However, when the participants who were mostly pastors from different branches of the church in the state arrived for the meeting yesterday morning, they met a stiff resistance by the pro-Eneka group and as they tried to force their way into the church, a fight broke out between the two groups.
The anti-Emeka group, according to an eyewitness, was overpowered as the pastors ran for their dear lives and later moved to an undisclosed place in Trans-Ekulu to hold the meeting.
The pro-Emeka group remained at the church premises until yesterday evening but declined to speak with newsmen.
But some of the deacons were heard threatening that Pastor Ochu would not be allowed to preside over the affairs of the church, henceforth, for identifying with the renegades who they accused of trying to destroy the church.

When I looked up I saw a large ball of fire at the spot where I was to buy food and a woman in front of me was badly injured.”We'll bring you more details on this later.

Dangote Secures $300 Million USD Loan From AfDB To Finance Refinery Construction For Job Opportunities
- Dangote secures $300 million loan from African Development Bank
- The company plans to create over 30,000 job opportunities.
African Development Bank, AfDB has granted Dangote Industries Limited a loan of $300 Million USD for the financing of the construction of the company's crude oil refinery and Greenfield fertilizer manufacturing plant.
The AfDB has stated that the loan is structured to help boost fuel supply and the production of fertilizer in Nigeria.
A statement by the AfDB reads:
“Both projects will help the country in becoming self-sufficient in its local natural resources and improve refining capacity in an attempt to transform into a major exporter in the oil and gas industry.
“The AfDB noted that that facility is, however, projected to reduce more than 80 per cent of the country current imports of fuel as well as eliminate the importation of fertilizer.
It noted that, 30,000 of job seeking Nigerians will be empowered.
“The projects are expected to create over 30,000 temporary jobs during construction and 2,900 direct jobs during operations to compliment ongoing effort of the Bank to support FGN for the implementation of the Agriculture Transformation Agenda (ATA).
“In addition, both projects are expected to help Nigeria on foreign exchange savings of $65 billion through import substitution, provide revenues for the government in taxes and fees and contributing a large share to the Gross Domestic Product.”African Development Bank (AfDB), had in April 2014, said it disbursed loans and grants totaling $93 billion (about N14.9 trillion) to member countries between 1967 and 2011.

Her name is Meriam Yahya, she was sentenced to death last May after she was found guilty of converting to Christianity and marrying her Christian American husband.
After she was found guilty, many voices around the world annoyingly protested against the decision and asked what human right is all about if a woman could be found guilty of switching religions and marrying whomever she wants.
As the international outcry against such unfair Sudanese law continued, the court became powerless therefore, forced to free the innocent woman who had been detained in prison.

A good Nigerian has taken the initiative of motivating the players to a positive result in the last Group F clash against Argentina on Wednesday, June 25.The team have have been promised a whooping N10 million naira for any goal scored against Argentina and reports have it that more prominent and wealthy Nigerians are expected to do the same.
The Super Eagles have four points behind Group leaders Argentina who bagged a maximum six points from their previous two group matches against Bosnia Herzegovina and Iran and what would be more encouraging than Nigerians who have promised to reward the players with cash and other valuable gifts?
A win against Argentina would see the Eagles finish first from the group but their best bet is to tie the Argentinians to a draw which would see them finish second.
However, if the Eagles fail to pick a draw against Argentina and Iran beats Bosnia Herzegovina then it would be a qualification headache for the Eagles who are expected to fly to the second round.
Mr Emeka Inyamah who is a Board member and chairman of Media Committee of NFF, today confirmed that a Nigerian has promised to reward the Eagles with N10 million naira cash for every single goal they score against Argentina.
He also added that the players have been promised $10,000 USD each:
“All financial agreements with the team have been met by the NFF. Their other monies are ready. We are fully prepared to back them to go all the way. We’re confident that the Eagles will beat Argentina,” Inyamah said, after confirming that the spirit in the camp was high.
Come on Eagles! Fly!
