10 SIGNS YOUR BOYFRIEND IS CHEATING ON YOU

 He tells you he isn’t really ready for a relationship early on. Yet he continues to talk to you and lead you on in a way that seems serious. You just go with it because he is cute, seems genuine, gives you attention, and you might just think he’ll change and realize you’re “the one.”  He puts his phone on airplane mode. That way you can’t see incoming texts when you ask to see pictures on his phone that you guys just took of each other.    He takes his phone with him every time he goes to the bathroom.   He has more friends that are girls than you do, and he only has a few guy friends. 5. You haven’t met a lot of his friends even though you hang out with him a lot. They’re always busy.   6. His phone battery seems to die more than the average person’s, making him unreachable for extended periods of time. 7. He is a shitty communicator and takes forever to text you back. Duh, because he’s texting countless other girls, s...

THE SLEEPY community of Okija in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State came into limelight in August, 2004, when the media, both print and electronic, became awash with gory stories of goings-on inside Ogwugwu Akpu , one of the shrines in the area. Before then, Ogwugwu Akpu was just like any other shrines in Igbo land which served as checks against impunity and man’s inhumanity to man. For instance, people who were aggrieved over the manner they were treated in business deals, land disputes, among other issues, took solace in Ogwugwu shrine, which they believed, was capable of delivering justice in favour of the down-trodden. The existence of Ogwugwu Akpu and others like Ogwugwu Isiula, Ogwugwu Mmili, among others, never affected the spread of Christianity, as Okija, which had produced over 30 Catholic and Anglican priests with about 10 parishes and three archdeaconries, and hosts the country’s first private faith-based university, the Ma...
