Well finally, Eva Alordiah welcomes us to her Queendom she dishes out her mixtape titled “Because You Been Waiting”.
In Eva’s words

I’d keep on updating this playlist with recorded and unreleased material from me for as long as you have to keep waiting for 1960thealbum.
I am so sorry. I would tell you what happened and why it has taken this long. But if I told you, even you would not believe half of the story!
I hope you enjoy these songs. Some of them are not properly engineered off the studio yet, but we recorded them over 2 years ago. I said to Tintin, Let it go. So I am letting them go.

Enjoy!

I won’t pay N5,000 to those who don’t work – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has ruled out the possibility of his government paying N5,000 monthly allowance to unemployed youths in the country as promised by his party, the All Progressives Congress, ahead of the 2015 presidential election.

Buhari’s new position is contrary to the stand of many of his officials who have at different times claimed that the fund to implement the promise had already been provided for in the 2016 Budget currently before the National Assembly.
The President who is currently on a one-week official visit to Saudi Arabia and Qatar however made it clear in Saudi Arabia during an interactive session that he could not be paying those who do not work.

He said he has a “slightly different priority” from the position of his party on the payment of the unemployed which he described as a “largesse.”
The President said rather than paying the unemployed, his administration would build infrastructure and empower able-bodied men to work.
"This largesse: N5,000 for the unemployed, I have got a slightly different priority.
“I would rather do the infrastructure, the school and correct them and empower agriculture, mining so that every able-bodied person can go and get work instead of giving N5,000 to those who don't work,” Buhari declared.
The APC, which defeated the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party in the March 28 presidential election, had promised during its campaign that if elected to the central government, it would pay N5,000 monthly to 25 million jobless youths as well as introduce a free school feeding programme.

'I needed money to pay my girlfriend's bride price' - Kidnap suspect confesses

Chukwudi who was arrested alongside other members of the gang including Joseph Chiaotu, aka Ejima, 21, Anozie Chinonso, 25 and Chukwuma Agim, a 27-year-old who is a prison official, in connection with the kidnap of a woman in the state, said he urgently needed money to pay the bride price of his pregnant girlfriend.

Confessing to the police, Chukwudi said he was studying Mechanical Engineering at Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State, before he dropped out in his final year.

“What led me into kidnapping was unfortunate. My girlfriend is pregnant and I have been under pressure to pay her bride price but I had no money.

She told me that since she became pregnant, her mother had been ostracised by her fellow women in their village. The pressure was too much that I needed to look for money by all means.

When the pressure was becoming unbearable, I contacted two of my friends, Nnamdi, who is now in prison, and Chiboy, who later introduced me to Agim for the trade.

Agim, being a prison official, was the one making way for us whenever we approached a police check point but our first operation was not successful because the person we targeted escaped.

But on the second operation, Chiboy went with a policeman and they kidnapped the woman.

My job was to take food to the victim in the bush and I was given N100,000 as my share from the ransom they collected. Chiboy told me that he got only N1.1m from the woman but when we were arrested, the woman told us she paid N3m as ransom.

The moment I got my own share, I gave my girlfriend part of it to start the preparation for the wedding while I went to the market to buy drinks. That was when I got a call from Agim and when I met him I was arrested.”

Agim, the prison official who hails from Imo State, said he was lured into the trade by an inmate, Nnamdi, and used his own share of the ransom money to buy clothes, settle his debts and fix his car.

Agim recalled that when he was posted to the Owerri prison, his mother, who was also serving in the prison, warned him to be wary of one inmate, named Vampire, and his friends so as not to get into trouble. He maintained that he was reluctant when Nnamdi approached him but that he later found the offer attractive.

“I was in my final year student in Imo State University where I was studying Insurance. I was earning N43,000 monthly as a prison official and I was even thankful because I didn’t join the Service with a first degree.

When I came for industrial attachment last year, our chief warder told us that there was a notorious kidnapper called Vampire who was arrested and would be brought to Owerri Prison.

Early this year I met Nnamdi who was in the same cell with Vampire. Nnamdi first asked me to get him a phone and he offered me N3,000 but I refused. So, he met another officer who got him the phone. They kept pressurising me that they wanted us to be friends.

So, one day, we sat behind the food store and they told me several stories about their escapade in kidnapping and I found it attractive. They told me they were rich people and they used to visit several popular bars in major towns in the South East and South South states and that when they observe rich people leaving the bar, they go after them and kidnap them.

At the end of the disussion, thy gav me a number and told me that with the number, I would be able to link other members, including Chiboy, aka Eze Ekudeley, whom he called a big kidnapper, Ejima and Chukwudi.

We also had a policeman in the team who provided easy passage for us. On the day we picked the woman, she was not the main target but she was traced to her house where she was picked.

It was Nnamdi who called me to go and look after the woman in the bush. I borrowed money from a friend and used it to buy food for the woman. I gave the food to Uzordima to give to the woman.

I learnt the woman stayed for two days. I was given N100, 000 after the N1.1m ransom was collected. I bought clothes, settled my debt and fixed my car.

I was arrested few days after the operation. It was Ejima who led them to me. I regret getting myself into this mess.”

6 Advices Every Woman in a Relationship Must Know

I believe that women are beautiful. They go through a lot in life and yet they are still always compromising and always trying to facilitate others. Some men complain that women are confused and complicated, but I personally think that such men do not deserve women at all. If you are a woman, and you are in a relationship, here a few advices that you must know:

6. Give him a chance to talk.

Most men have temper issues, but you must know that most of them cannot stay angry for long. Some people get angry a lot, but that anger gets flushed down very easily. Also, it indicates that the other person is honest, and instead of keeping grudges, they express. You must know that if your boyfriend gets angry, you need to give him a chance to talk. Hear him out. Hear out what he has to say and let him express himself completely. Once he is done talking, his anger would abate, and he will be ready to hear you out. 

5. Do not bring him down.

Do you know that the worst way to bring down a person is by bringing up their past? Someone’s past is their collection of mistakes, experiences and a few failed relationships. If you keep bringing it up, you remind the other person of how he hasn’t really done much in life. If you’re mad at him, and you think that you have to scream at them, do not bring up the past. Always check their comfort level with it. For some men, it is easier to talk about their past with a woman who they trust a lot and have been together with for a while. 

4. Do not force him to talk.

There are a very few examples of talkative men. Men do not enjoy talking a lot. However, don’t assume that they do not want to talk to you or that they are not interested in you anymore. This is something I learnt from Grey’s Anatomy. Most of the times, they just don’t know what to say so they stay quiet instead. It would be rather annoying if you would push them to talk. 

3. The silent treatment.

As a woman, let me be very honest with you: this is my favourite. When they have done something that you dislike, you must know that screaming and shouting is not the right way to go about. Give him the silent treatment. Stop talking to him. Make a face, and he will soon realize that something is wrong. They will come to you and then you can make them realize their mistake. This avoids excessive drama because for some relationships, fights are a nasty affair. 

2. Motivate him.

Men like to appear self-sufficient. They do not want anyone to know of their weaknesses. However, you must know that deep down in their heart, they are scared too. They are scared of failing and losing people just as much as you are. As a result, motivate him. Show him that you trust him, and you know his full potential. Convince him that you are sure that he is capable of doing wonders. Believe me, this will boost his morale so much more. 

1. Do not suffocate him.

When you are with a guy, do not make him feel that you are a liability. You have to give him space. You have to let him have his guy time. You do not have to fuss about how he is with his friends this weekend, and you have to be alone. Do not be alone. Spend some time with your friends as well. He deserves his space, and so do you.
