Nollywood star, Queeneth Agbor says she is fully in support of sex before marriage to be sure of the sexual strength of her man. Queeneth Agbor As dialectic as premarital sex is, the Nollywood actress, she recently revealed that she was fully in support of sex before marriage, as she doesn’t want to end up with a man who is not sexually active.
“As for me, I believe that sex is overrated in a relationship though I stand for sex before marriage with a good reason.”
“I need to test my ‘goods’ so I don’t end up with something inadequate. Cheating is a no-no for me. However, in a relationship, getting to know your partner doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with sex. I prefer to bond mentally and intellectually.
“I know my lover for who he truly is. Sex gone badly can actually end a relationship before you even get to know the real person.”
Agbor, not necessarily known for her roles in movies but for her incendiary comments about relationship, sex and marriage, which in most cases, dwell on her relationship preferences. Speaking on the importance of sex in a relationship during a recent chat, Queeneth said, “To some people, sex is associated with stability because it increases the bond and maintains a level of stability. `
The actress once revealed how her Igbo Boyfriend slapped her silly for kissing a guy in a movie she acted and vowed never to date an Igbo guy.
“I won’t be dating an Ibo guy again; they are possessive and could be violent.” Famous for her role in ‘Hooked’, she moved from Calabar to Lagos to pursue her dream career.
Nigerians are reacting to Etinosa’s conduct on MC Galaxy’s live Instagram video.
In a trending clip, Etinosa stripped naked while chatting with MC Galaxy.
She could be heard saying: “It’s freaky Friday. If you cut it ( the video), I will cut you in life. Is it your body? It’s my body. Is it my business, I want to exhibit my body.”
On Twitter, many have expressed divergent opinions.
While some say Etinosa wasn’t forced to go nude and was at fault, others insist MC Galaxy initiated the move.
Some reactions below;
@I_pissVodka: I wonder what Mc Galaxy is going through right now. Minding your business and boom someone’s flashing boobs and Nash in your face. The trauma
@DrOlufunmilayo: When Falz spoke against Transactional Sex, the loudest empty barrels here attacked him viciously. Now MC Galaxy uses his page to enjoy the stupidity of those willing to strip for money, why is there noise? Many of you are too daft to realise you can’t eat your cake and have it.
@badt_BOI_ They always find a way to blame men. She informed him before hand, she stood by her word. She even threatened to harm him if he ends the video, but MC Galaxy is still at fault lol
@JFKResoluteEnt: Comedian Etinosa goes unclad (under the influence of alcohol) on Mc Galaxy ’s Instagram live video.
@dreadnstyn: Feminist: MC Galaxy is a sick sex predator. He took advantage of her Etinosa: I stripped nude in the video because am expressive with my body!! Feminist: They both adults no one was forced so no one is to blame but i still blame Mcgalaxy for not ending the video.
@browncandyx: Well, an actress with 201k followers just stripped naked for Mc galaxy , it’s not about the money, i can’t understand the reason any more etinosa nude video
@SadellaWallis: A mildy popular Nollywood actress (Eti Nosa) goes naked under influence of Alcohol on a live video with a pervert called Mc galaxy , who is to blame? The people in the comments asking her to go naked? Galaxy for not ending the call? Or she herself?
@GalacticoNG; Reportedly, the 1st is Etinosa’s comment on Mc Galaxy page 4days who when people are dragging him for the Naked Campaign And the 2nd is her comment on Tunde Ednut’s page after she stripped naked. So are we still putting blame on Galaxy, Alcohol & Depression?
@bodakorange_: Before you start saying #etinosa was Intoxicated Blah Blah Blah. See her comment 4 days ago after the First Incident about McGalaxY ’s Live Video. Clearly they both Planned it.
@GalacticoNG: So I heard a drunk Etinosa sent her friends away from her room before stripping naked on MC Galaxy live video and we are putting all the blame on MC Galaxy ? Am I missing something?
@splufic_dice: Mc Galaxy was sexually harassed Mc galaxy was sexually harassed Mc galaxy was sexually harassed
In case you are a 'Doubting Thomas' who believes love is not real, these pictures of couples of extreme opposite physical attributes might convince you. Love they say is like a ghost we all talk about but no one has ever seen. Yes, it's possible nobody has seen true love but it has been felt across the world. In fact, love is blind, inexplicable and unconditional. The couples seen in these pictures cut across different races across the world and they have found love in the hands of each other despite their obvious and bothering physical differences. See more photos below:

Neither Colman nor Cuaron are likely to be short of post-Oscar job offers
Winning an Oscar is all well and
good. Like everyone else in the world though, this year's awards
recipients had to go back to work the following day.
For Spike Lee,
winner of the best adapted screenplay award for his film
BlacKkKlansman, that meant heading off to South East Asia at the first
opportunity.
"I'm on a plane tomorrow morning to Thailand," the US film-maker told reporters on Sunday.
Thailand
will stand in for Vietnam in Da 5 Bloods, which tells of
African-American war veterans returning to that country to locate the
remains of a fallen comrade.
Chadwick Boseman, Black Panther himself, will star in the project alongside Delroy Lindo and Leon's Jean Reno.
Here's what else this year's Oscar winners have in the pipeline and where we'll be seeing them next.
With the third and fourth series of The Crown shooting back to back, Olivia Colman will not have long to bask in the glory of her best actress triumph.
The
Broadchurch star's filming commitments meant she had to miss a number
of other awards events in the run-up to this year's awards - the price
of landing the plum role of the Queen in Netflix's royal saga.
Colman will be back on our screens next week when Fleabag
returns to BBC One on Monday. The second series of Phoebe
Waller-Bridge's raunchy sitcom will see her reprise her role as the
title character's far-from-beloved godmother.
Mahershala Ali gives Rami Malek a friendly hug after Sunday's ceremony
This year will also
see the release of Them That Follow, a drama set in the Appalachian
Mountains in which she plays a member of a Pentecostal church that
adheres to the religious practice of snake handling.
Best actor winner Rami Malek
doesn't just have an Oscar on his mantelpiece for playing Freddie
Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. He also has a fourth and final season of
Mr Robot in the can that will air at some point this year.
He will
also provide the voice of a gorilla called Chee-Chee in The Voyage of
Doctor Dolittle, a reboot of the old "talk to the animals" fantasy
starring Robert Downey Jr that will arrive in cinemas in early 2020. Regina King,
winner of the best supporting actress statuette for If Beale Street
Could Talk, also won't be giving up the small screen anytime soon.
The
three-time Emmy recipient has a role in a new TV version of beloved
comic book Watchmen that will see her act alongside fellow Oscar winners
Jeremy Irons and Louis Gossett Jr.
Regina King and Spike Lee show off their Oscars - and their accessories
Mahershala Ali, in contrast,
appears to have nothing confirmed in the works, though he is working on a
script that he may direct and has a development deal with HBO (Home Box
Office).
The Moonlight and Green Book actor can currently be seen
in the third season of HBO's True Detective, in which he plays an
Arkansas police detective at three different ages.
HBO also seems the likely home for Ascension, a horror series about the creation of a cult that best director winner Alfonso Cuaron is reportedly set to write, direct and executive produce.
Little
is known about the project, beyond the fact that Casey Affleck - an
Oscar winner himself two years ago for Manchester by the Sea - is also
attached to it.
Nicki Minaj has sparked pregnancy speculation with her fans already congratulating her on her page. It started after the 36-year-old rapper shared a loved up video with her boyfriend Kenneth Petty rubbing her belly as she flaunted her cleavage in a colorful dress.
'Why are you rubbing my stomach?' asked Minaj in the video she posted to her Instagram.
Listing and ranking richness of countries
is always a challenge. Between social-economic status, commerce,
economics shifts, natural disasters, many years of colonialism, poverty
and inequality, and government corruption – there are most definitely
many challenges in economic growth and maintaining a healthy, wealthy
and productive society.
There are 1.3 billion people living across Africa, in 54 different countries, that produces $2.2 trillion
in nominal GDP thanks to trade, agriculture and harvesting various
sources of energy (oil being the dominant one in certain countries). Not
too long ago, in 2013, Africa was the world’s fastest-growing continent
at 5.6% a year. Nowadays, the African Development Bank predicts an
increase of 4.3% in yearly growth across the continent. World Bank
expects most of the African countries to reach a GDP per capita of at
least $1,000 (ranking those as “middle income”) by 2025.
All nominal data in this article are based on World Bank latest reports.
How would Nigeria’s oil export affect its ranking? Does the government domination on the economy of Kenya helps its rank? How would countries like Ghana and Zimbabwe rank in comparison to Zambia and Uganda? How does South Africa’s complex social history affects its economic growth?

With a total GDP of $124.209 billion and a staggering GDP per capita of $4,407,
Angola takes the 5th place in the richest countries in Africa. Angola
is largely dependent on their natural oil and gas reserves, along with
hydroelectricity, diamonds, and agriculture.
Angola has a population of 30.7 million people, most of
whom are still highly influenced by European culture due to 400 of
Portuguese colonialism in the country. The official language of Angola
is still Portugees.

popularity is off the charts and their good news will send the public
into a royal betting frenzy of epic proportions. “Fans are so keen to speculate on every aspect of the baby and
