‘I see myself being a new-age Black Panther, doing things that are really important. I see myself changing the world, I see myself as the reincarnation of Tupac.’
Annoying things…..Men are very interesting creatures, so adorable. You wouldn’t even know what to do with them. They can be thoughtful, caring and so sweet that they make you fall so hard and yet there are certain things they do that are nerve racking and this can be so frustrating since we are having sex with them right? These men can drive women crazy— not in the (YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY) sense that Britney Spears has been singing about. I mean you drive me crazy in the “why are you this way” kind of way. Boys, ever wondered if the way you act sometimes make women cringe? There are certain that make us girls want to run far away and not come back. Here are some common things that men do that women secretly hate
⦁ “Just the tip” just the tip? Excuse me sir? No way! If your lollipop makes contact with my cookie there sure will be penetration and that is sex! And please stop making us out to be uptight
⦁ Getting mad when we have our periods like it’s our fault we have to deal with this monthly doom. Trust us we do not relish having to bleed for five days. We want to have sex too
⦁ Stop ignoring the clitoris. It has feelings too and oh stop asking if we came already
⦁ Being feminists doesn’t make all women man haters
⦁ Stop sending pics of your dick if we wanted to see it, we would have told you. No matter how impressive it is, it’s just not very romantic
⦁ Checking out other women while in our presence (boorish)
⦁ Stop skimping on your personal hygiene, take a shower and wash your cracK more often with soap, and whats with you guys not changing sheets regularly and also thinking it’s alright to keep wearing dirty socks and the overdoing it with the cologne thingy
⦁ Leaving the toilet seat up this one is a classic but let me ask, what is so difficult about putting down the toilet seat for Pete sake?
⦁ Getting upset when we steal your clothes, they are really comfy, okay? So please get over it. Plus we also look cute in it don’t even try to deny it.
⦁ Stop asking us to carry your stuff, get your own purse
⦁ Stop rubbing your junk on us when dancing in a club
⦁ When we tell you we are in a relationship, stop trying to get with us, not cool
Hey don’t get too worked up when you recognize some of the traits above in yourself, the deal here is not to change your personality but rather to keep certain female-unfriendly behaviors in check.
Annoying things women do……Dear ladies, embrace yourselves, because this one is coming for you. As you read though, treat the exposed information as counsel on how to be better but not to demean you. Ask yourself, would you put up with yourself if you were a man? So now, take a deep breath and read on to find out things that you do that make men want to disappear.
1. Expecting men to read your minds like they are some sort of psychics. Men aren’t very good mind readers. In fact, they often have difficulty just figuring out what women mean with the words they speak. They think women are far more sophisticated communicators than they are.
2. Stop over doing it with the makeup, keep it natural ladies. Men don’t want to lean in for a kiss and come out looking like a clown. Remember, foundation is supposed to be invisible and blend in with your skin. Keep the makeup on a minimal
3. Stop saying other girls bring ‘too much drama when you are the dramatic queen who loves to create a storm in a glass of water.
4. Stop saying you are fine when you’re obviously not. We aren’t in romantic movie, grow up and tell them what’s wrong or don’t get mad when they don’t take the hint.
5. Stop acting like it’s the duty of men to do all the work and take care of everything, get off that pretty butt and get something doing. Trust me men don’t like it when a girl thinks that he has to do all the work, drive every time to her, always buy her stuff, make her feel better but not giving anything in return. They are not money making machines and they go broke too, so sometimes you could split a bill or you could pay. After all what a man can do, a woman can do better right?
6. Let go of the past, a man easily gets annoyed when a woman cannot let go of the things long gone and keeps bringing it up to cause a fight.
7. Stop yelling and nagging ladies. No one wants to be told over and over again that they are doing something wrong.You have no idea how men get annoyed when they are being shouted at, especially trying to solve a problem by arguing and yelling about it in front of everyone.
8. Stop emasculating them in front of their friends, it’s not appreciated.
9. Stop shaving off your eyebrows and then coloring them back on.
10. Taking forever to decide what to eat. Being indecisive, you’re a grown woman figure it out
11. Stop sending insane messages if they don’t respond to your texts immediately.
“3:00: hi
3:02: babe
3:03: are you there?
3:07: are you really ignoring me!
3: 14 are you with someone?
3:17: fine, enjoy
3: 19 it’s over between us!
3:22 babe I’m kidding….
3:24 just say something
3:30 [crying emoji]
Hey sorry busy at work whats up? 3:40
3:41 omg I’m sorry please forgive me
12. Stop using that silly Snapchat filter with the dog nose and tongue. Sweetheart, you don’t look cute. *winkwink
Well, there you have it ladies but remember this information is intended to give insight into what men are thinking. Without straight and candid communication, we can’t solve the issues that threaten to end so many relationships.

Greece! Not only is this country one of the most beautiful and exotic places in the world but also cheap. It’s been recently tough on Greece’s economy but don’t be put off by this, if anything all, the current financial situation is the more reason to travel there to support the locals. This also means that currently, prices are cheaper than usual. Be sure to check out the historical sites, the major museums, the beautiful beaches and don’t forget to visit the country’s capital, Athens while you are there.
Jamaica! Think again if you think you can’t afford to travel to this exotic island. Jamaica is known for its beautiful beaches, turquoise waters. Nothing is comparable to relaxing on the white sugar like sand under the hot Jamaican sun with a chilled drink in hand. But of course there is more to this island than just exotic beaches, there are some pretty beautiful and affordable hotels, great food (oh don’t miss out on some spicy jerk chicken). There are also the lush green mountains you can take a ride through. If you have a family you should check out Holiday Inn all-inclusive Resort in Montego Bay.
Egypt! Home of the ancient Pharaohs, vast stretch of desert and it numerous mind-blowing ancient sites; you would think that traveling there will cost you a lot more than it actually does. This country is an astounding destination of temples and tombs that marvels all who visit. There is something for everyone there, the beach lovers and those looking for a sun kissed body (tan) heads to the Sinai to soak up the sun, also there is something for the fans of archaeology in Luxor, all these tempered with cheap but excellent food and decent budget accommodation, it is not difficult at all to feel like you are almost living the lifestyle of a pharaoh. Hey before I forget be sure to see the famous Nile River. You definitely will want to try the dish, ful medames. However, check the latest advice before you go as some governments due to safety concerns advice against travel to all parts of the country.
Kenya! I like to think no other place on the planet gives such an aura of romance and adventure as this country does. If it’s your first time visiting, the complete variety of things to do is impressive. In a single trip to Kenya, you can visit tropical forests, beautiful beaches, and deserts, climb mountains and explore the wild. It is possible to plan a safari that combines adventure, relaxation and natural simplicity. And of course in Kenya wildlife is top on the list. Come eye-to-eye with an elephant in Amboseli National Reserve, or be in awe at Lake Nakuru flecked with thousands of flamingoes. The Malindi Marine National Park has fine beaches for the beach lovers, clear water and very colorful fishes. There, you can surf, snorkel and other water sports. HAKUNA MATATA.
BELIZE! This small, sub-tropical country is simply divine! And is becoming the real deal due to its beautiful natural environment and affordability…..if you love outdoors, water and beaches then this place is absolutely for you. During summer the Caribbean waters are very warm and thus it’s the best time to enjoy some of Belize’s popular recreational activities such as fishing, swimming, diving and snorkeling. Belize has very lovely seascapes and so you could explore it coastline which is well over 300 kilometers.
SOUTH AFRICA! There are many compelling reasons to travel to this superb destination rich in culture and history. South Africa is blessed with magnificent scenery, natural landscapes, Beautiful weather, and incredible locations. There you will Experience cultural interactions that are real and inspiring, spend a day in a Zulu village or a city township; and you will find that South Africans are real friendly. When it comes to music, you can feel the energy of the cities. South Africa is also known for producing some impeccable wines. Don’t miss out on wine tasting, I say you can almost taste your way around South Africa. The safari adventures, great foods, music, magnificent scenery will indulge your senses.
So are you ready for some ‘chillaxation’ on some exotic island, try new foods, meet and make new friends, experience different cultures and music? Then you my friend should start packing your bags for some fantastic experience! Travel to these amazing and yet affordable destinations that won’t break your bank.
LA MÊME GANG……. You know that feeling that you get when find out that your favorite group of artists just released a NEW ALBUM and it’s like OH MY GODDDD IT’S REALLY HAPPENING! YASSSSSSSS! La Même gang just dropped their first album “La Même” and its a real sensation!
Have you ever heard a new song or a group of artists and knowing within the first 10 seconds that this song/group is going to be tight!? That was the experience I first had with La Même gang, for the very first time I heard some of their songs, I was like man, that is art in its purest form. FEELING THE GOOSEBUMPS, CHILLS AND TINGLES THAT ONLY BEAUTIFUL, PASSIONATE MUSIC CAN GIVE YOU, believe you me, there is literally nothing in the world more perfect than great music.
This “gang” of young men are energetic,raw,talented, poetic and entertaining, bringing you a refreshing and listenable sounds straight outta Ghana. They bring a refreshing vibe to the Ghana music scene. La Même gang brings energy to the stage and their performances are overwhelming. They however produce music that extends beyond the typical Afrobeat music Ghanaians may be used to which totally makes them unrivaled. Throughout the album, you will see a range of genres including Hip-Hop, Afrobeat and Trap which gives each artist a chance to take center stage and adds features that prevents you from placing the album within the confines of any single genre.

Joseph Awuah-Darko, the UK born Ghanaian also known as Økuntakinte is an artist and entrepreneur. You may know of Økuntakinte from his #MelaninGirls Campaign which took social media by storm in 2016. The 21 year old recently petitioned to four decision makers, the world bank, Greenpeace USA, United Nations and Ban Ki-moon (Secretary-General of the United Nations) to do their part to change the narrative of the worlds largest E-waste dump- Agbogloshie. Let’s all come together to bring this change.
In one of his tweets, he said “This is the world’s largest e-waste dump, Agbogbloshie. It’s in Ghana and I’m going to change this” #ClimateChangeIsReal
Every year over 215,000 tons of e-waste is legally and illegally dumped at Agbogbloshie (Ghana) from the more developed western countries. Unfortunately, the repercussions of this have been the severe environmental degradation that has manifested itself at Agbogbloshie dubbed “Sodom and Gomorrah”. Low-income inhabitants (poor men, women and children) trying to survive practice the burning of this electronic waste and scrap to salvage and sell the metals derived from this process. This self-harmful burning has serious health implications.
Low-income inhabitants (poor men, women and children) trying to survive practice the burning of this electronic waste and scrap to salvage and sell the metals derived from this process. This self-harmful burning is severely detrimental to the health of these individuals and releases toxic gases into the atmosphere. However, Agbogbloshie is more than just a dump site, a micro-economy has been established at the Old Fadama slum regarding the profitable redistribution and sale of metal scrap by the inhabitants at Agbogbloshie.
Please help us change the narrative of the world’s largest e-waste dump and demonstrate your support by petitioning to aid in funding this foundation. We need you!
