Understanding your woman part 1

Thinking about the recent celebrity couple break ups, makes me wonder what the real issue could be.

You must know that courting a woman, no matter how long before walking her down the aisle doesn't guarantee your time to relax.

It is the beginning of a lifetime school of woman behavioural studies, which you must diligently commit yourself if you really want to have a blissful married life, without having to worry about a rising blood pressure. (mind you, I'm talking about computer age women).

And that's why I've decided to take out time to put you through. This is going to be coming in series as the Spirit leads, so you won't have to be reading epistles.

Starting with this...

1. I want you to accept the fact that all women are different.

There are sporty women, geeky women, fun-loving
women, artistic women, ambitious women, and more.

Each woman has her own personality and goals; so, please, do not generalize,cos it could be dangerous.

Example : Don't mistake one woman's behavior as a universal
female characteristic. Just because your sister doesn't
like sports doesn't mean that your new girlfriend
doesn't.

2. I think it is important you get to learn about her past, ask her about her family, and what her childhood was like. We are influenced to
some degree by the way we were brought up.

Learning these things will teach you a great deal about any woman.

But please, don't press her about these topics, as they can be
touchy. So if she doesn't want to talk about it, just let it be.

3. Observe her. The best way to understand somebody,
male or female, is to spend time with them and observe
their patterns of behavior. Doing so will teach you things
like what upsets her, what excites her, what annoys her, and
so on.

# As a woman, I tell you, we sometimes feign being upset just to see if you will notice and at least ask what the issue could be.

But sweetie, after asking, if you get the "nothing"  response, just take it like that, as that is the truth, except you want us to lie or use the opportunity to open up to you about something you did a long time ago that really annoying.

#.  When on a Sunday morning, your woman keeps hissing and throwing all her nice clothes on the bed, not being able to decide on what to wear, or complaining she doesn't have what to wear when she has over flowing boxes.

My dear, she is only trying to tell you or give you the sign that you need to surprise her soonest with a lovely dress, not even necessarily necessarily you giving her money to do so herself.

Note: have it at the back of your mind, that you'd probably spend the rest of your life trying to understand a woman.

Hope I didn't waste your time

Ex-NNPC boss claims $9.8m (N5bn) is gift

A former Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr Andrew Yakubu,
has told the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) that the staggering sums of $9,772,800 and £74,000
cash recovered from a building belonging to him in Kaduna
were gifts.

Yakubu reportedly owned up to the ownership of the huge cash
when he submitted himself to the anti-corruption commission’s zonal office in Kano, where he made a statement to the commission.

The former NNPC boss, who presided over the country’s
petroleum corporation between 2012 and 2014, according to a
statement made available to Saturday Tribune by EFCC’s
Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, could not,
however, disclose the persons who gave him the ‘gifts’.

The huge cash was discovered in Yakubu’s building during a
special operation conducted by EFCC operatives in the building
on Friday, 3 February. The money was hidden in a fire proof
safe.

The statement disclosed that the raid on the building was
sequel to an intelligence report which the commission received
about suspected proceeds of crime believed to be hidden in the
slums of Sabon Tasha area of the Kaduna metropolis.

“On arrival at the facility, the caretaker of the house, one Bitrus
Yakubu, a younger brother of Andrew Yakubu, disclosed that
both the house and the safe where the money was found
belonged to his brother, Andrew Yakubu.

“When the safe was opened it was discovered that it contained
the sum of $9,772,800 (Nine Million, Seven hundred and
Seventy two thousand, eight hundred United States dollars
(about N5billion) and another sum of £74,000 (Seventy four
thousand pound sterling),” the statement informed.

The anti-graft agency stated that the former NNPC boss was
assisting the commission in its investigation.

EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, had on Thursday while
appearing before the House of Representatives’ Committee on
Financial Crimes revealed that operatives of the commission
recovered huge cash from a building in Kaduna, though he did
not reveal when the operation was carried out.

Magu, who appeared before the committee to explain the anti-
graft agency’s budget performance in 2016 and defend its 2017
budget proposal, also disclosed that another N1.25 billion was
recovered from a public servant, all in the last two weeks.

EFCC had on 20 June, 2016, dragged Yakubu alongside the
chairman of Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept Limited, Jide
Omokore, before Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako of the Abuja
Division of the Federal High Court on a four-count charge of
money laundering.

Apart from Omokore, Yakubu is facing trial along with Victor
Briggs, Abiye Membere, David Mbanefo, Atlantic Energy Brass
Development Limited and Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts
Limited over the allegation.
