Its so amazing on how other world leaders roll. Well, they don't have kidnapping issues so...we understand:-)

However, he's pretty humble,that is true leadership. Even if there's no kidnapping and all that, most of our African leaders are too cocky and they love pomposity!.....simplicity is a far off in our facet.

Signs of insecurity in a woman

$
0

Constant state of paranoia: Anything you do causes her to become suspicious and prompts the following questions; "Why are you going to the gym? Why did you get a haircut? Why did you buy new underwear? Why did you shave? Why did you brush your teeth? Why are you taking a shower? Why are you so happy?Why are you wearing this?who are you texting or calling? Do you still love me?Say you love me?
woman begging
Desperate and Needy: Women think the easiest way to get a man is being desperate and needy. And sometimes it does work for a short while but never lasts because men are turned off by women who behave like that.Insecure woman doesn't feel great about her self no being needy or forcing to be wanted and desired is a tool to make her feel good about her self. Desperate woman is over emotional when her insecurity is at threat uses crying and sympathy to keep or win her partner.
She's a control freak: She will start acting in a very controlling and authoritarian manner. It will likely begin very subtly and will creep up on you slowly. You might even find it cute and will cave into it. Soon enough it becomes irritating and then downright crazy.
Making you ask permission: When you are with a controlling woman you will soon find yourself in a position that you will need ask her permission on everything before you are allowed to do it. Eventually though this will not be a problem as you will learn that you have no right to ask for anything and that everything in your life will be managed and controlled by her.Controlling freak wants to control everything concerning your life to satisfy her insecurities keeping your calendar occupied in order to tie you down and gain total control over you.
She belittles you: Bullying and belittling are part of the arsenal of an insecure person. Insecure woman doesn't love or feel beautiful about her self doesn't have goals or ambitious in life.She settles with the least and doesn't think she deserves better because of the fear of losing what she has and thinking it's the best she can get.To make themselves feel better they try and make you feel small. In a relationship it is a subtle and subconscious attack on your self esteem. She wants to drag you down to her own self hating level by. Because she can not understand why you feel good or highly about your self she thinks her only way of keeping you is to knock your self esteem down so much that you eventually come to depend on her and are on a mental leash.
Abusive behavior: Some women will even hurt themselves or their partners as a sign of being insecure or not being able to deal with their emotions and being mentally unstable  They can hit, throw an object or cut themselves or their partners as in order to be in control and intimidate. The reason might be how she was raised and other factors, traumas from the past or she just mentally unstable. Also such women have anxiety and panic disorders.They panic and stress over simple matters taking life too serious. Emotional abuser will make you feel guilty about anything you do that she doesn't want so you can't help but do her way. She'll make you feel you have failed in life and she will use you as an excuse for her own problems.
She requires daily reports: She expects you to call her every hour of the day, and if you forget or miss a call, then you'll find tons of text messages and missed calls not to mention a long explanation to do. Insecure woman wants you to be available for her 24/7 she calls you pick immediately it's sick and a red flag in every relationship it's called possessive, controlling, insecure and jealous. Key word ABUSIVE!
She's a snoop: She wants access to every personal detail of your life. She goes through your voice mail, reads your e-mail, go through your phone and asks your friends personal questions about you when you're not around.Or reach out to your family members.
Guilt and emotional blackmail: When the relationship comes to an end insecure woman would do just about anything to force her partner to stay in a relationship because she lacks confidence, doesn't feel good about her self and fear of being rejected. Many insecure women guilt their partners to stay in a relationship. The problem with insecure woman she has no identity nor sense of self worth. If your woman has constantly made you feel guilty she has an insecurity problem. Because she has low self esteem and invests herself far too heavily in the relationship she cannot handle the fact that you are deriving any sort of pleasure from anyone other than her. This type of women like to play blame games it's all your fault if anything goes wrong in the relationship.

Insecure woman can not stand break ups if you break up with her she'll make sure you are breaking up with the entire world and everyone should know about your dirty secrets by exposing, sharing your embarrassing information or threatening to spill all your Secrets to your family and friends and tell everyone you are the bad guy.Insecure woman seeks revenge she will use your weakness and past mistakes against you.
Investigative skills: When you come home from a night out with the boys, she asks for every minute detail... including how many drinks you had, how quickly you drank them and who paid each time.
Jealousy: Jealousy is a result of insecurity. It is a reaction that is triggered by some external event, such as you talking to an attractive woman. Being jealous is different to be insecure but it is one of the causes and signs of insecurity. A little bit of jealousy is nothing to worry about and is just a protective instinct. Jealousy is something to be concerned about and is a tell tale sign of insecurity.
She cannot handle someone who doesn't need her
While we often tell our partners "I can't live without you" as a romantic gesture in reality we could all live without our partners if we had to. They might leave us or death might take them from us. Life would go on. It is not a pleasant thought but it is the reality. No person ever physically needs the other in a relationship.

Needy people are unattractive and those who are aloof and non needy are very attractive.One of the key signs of insecurity when a woman doesn't deal with breakup gracefully she will make sure you miserable manipulating the children, talking trash about you in front of the children and using them against you.

Had she shown them at the start of the relationship perhaps you would have run a mile, but now you don't. She subconsciously knows this which is why she hides it in the beginning, waiting until you have her trust before she unleashes the full fury of her insecurity.

Secure people understand that they don't ever need the other person. Even if they have been in a committed relationship for years they stay there by choice not by need. If you don't descend into this petty neediness she will try her full range of controlling, demeaning and authoritative behavior to try and get you to conform to her neediness.

It is playing safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity!!

Taribo West lied about his age - ex-Partizan chief

Former Derby County, Plymouth and Inter Milan defender Taribo West has been accused of lying about his age.

The former Nigeria centre half, now retired, joined Serbian team Partizan Belgrade in 2002 after leaving Derby County and told club bosses he was 28.

But now the ex-president of Partizan, Zarko Zecevic, has accused him of lying, saying the defender was actually 40.
'He joined us saying he was 28. We only later found out he was 40, but he was still playing well so I don’t regret having him on the team,' Zecevic said.
The former defender allegedly lied when trying to join Croatia’s Rijeka club.

At the age of 44, they said West told club doctors he was only 32.

It was only after an examination that the doctors raised suspicions with the club because West’s knees suggested he was older.

He wasn’t signed to the team but later joined Plymouth and then Iranian side Paykan FC, where he ended his career at the age of 46 in 2008.

Today his Wikipedia entry says he is 39.

Pregnant Kim K and baby daddy Kanye West set to split?

From MediaTakeOut:
MTO just got word this morning that a major news publication will shortly be reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have split! According to our snitch, the pub reportedly has a high level snitch who is saying that the pair has agreed to split - but are not going to announce anything until after this season of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, and after the Kanye's album release this summer.
The word is that he couple is scared of all the bad press that they'd receive if they split so soon. As for the "baby" . . . we'll see what happens.I don't necessarily believe this but here's more. Kanye is on a self imposed exile in Paris...so while Kim is pregnant, they live in different continents. Also, on Easter Monday Kim took an 11 hour flight to visit Kanye in Paris. They were photographed on several outings with sour faces each time. Two days later, she was back in the US.

Also, in a recent interview while promoting Tyler Perry's Temptation, Kim talked about her pregnancy and described herself as being alone. Plus, they were supposed to move in together in February, but Kanye later put the house they bought up for sale and moved to Paris. I hope we are all just reading too much meaning into what's going on between them. I hope they make it.

Russian billionaire plans to make humans immortal by 2045

Humans Immortal
Dmitry Itskov, a Russian billionaire has big bucks, big dreams and big plans.He has unveiled plans to make humans immortal has unveiled plans to make humans immortal by converting them into 'Terminator-style' cyborgs - a creature that's part human and part machine

32-year-old mogul,has been pushing the project forward since 2011 when he founded the 2045 Initiative.

His ultimate goal is to transfer a person’s mind or consciousness from a living brain into a machine with that its personality and memories intact, according to website Digital Trends.

The so called ‘Cyborg’ will have no physical form, and exist in a network similar to the Internet and be able to travel at the speed of light all over the Earth, or even into the space….

According to the report, Itskov has mapped out several key steps to be a cyborg, with the first step, called Avatar A, which is due in 2020, involving a person controlling a robotic human replica via a brain-machine interface (BMI),a technology that already exists.

The next step, Avatar B, which is due in 2025, will involve transplanting a human brain into an artificial body at the end of a person's life.

The third step, known as Avatar C and due in 2035, will also involve a human-machine brain transplant, with all personality intact, although to achieve this step, it will be necessary to create a computer model of human consciousness.

Itskov hopes the Initiative will have learned enough about the human mind to free it completely from physical form finally, by 2045.

I don't expect it to actually create immortality either, but it'll definitely bring technological and medical advances. I'll look forward to it.

What do you think about the prospect of immortality...do you believe human consciousness can be replicated and removed from the physical form by 2045?

An 87 year old college student named Rose

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said,
Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.
 She jokingly replied,
I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…
“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. 

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. 

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium.As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said,
I’m sorry I’m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.”
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.

If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose.”She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be .When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they’ll really enjoy it!These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
