Oyakhilome urge member to pray for his wife

Founder of the Believers’ Love World Incorporated,
popularly known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome, has urged members of his
congregation to pray for his estranged wife, Anita.
Breaking his silence on the allegations of adultery
reportedly levelled against him by her, he
described them as “frivolous charges.”
Oyakhilome also lamented that the media had
been writing all sorts of “stupid things” about him
and his marriage.
Noting that Jesus Christ was also accused of
different allegations during his lifetime,
Oyakhilome asked Nigerians to refrain from
unfairly criticising him.

How much sex will do in a relationship

Do you take a roll in the hay every night, once or
twice a week, monthly or at no particular time? For
the good of your own relationship, how much sex
should you be having? Many couples do find
infrequent sex to be an issue. While some are fine
with the occasional 5-minutes romp under the
sheets, others wish they were getting a whole lot
more.
There are women who worry that their men
demand too much sex and secretly wish they’d
slow down. But a lot more men complain that it is
their women that are not giving it up as often as
they (men) desire.

Nigeria NFF vs Fifa

The Secretary-General of the Nigeria Football
Federation, Musa Amadu, has written the world
football governing body, FIFA, intimating it of the
latest development in the country’s football
house.
Amadu told newsmen in Abuja after the close of
work on Monday that the letter was to inform FIFA
that he and few others returned to office and
worked in the football secretariat unhindered.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that FIFA had,
on September 3, threatened to suspend Nigeria
from football after it declared as illegal the August
26 election that produced Chris Giwa as NFF
Chairman.
FIFA had subsequently directed that the Aminu
Maigari-led NFF board be returned to office to
supervise a fresh election into the federation’s
board.
It also directed that the Maigari-led group return
to office on Monday to perform their duties
unhindered.
Amadu said, “I can confirm to you that I did write
a letter just now to FIFA, which I copied CAF,
informing them about the event of today.
“The development is in line with FIFA directives
that we be allowed to come to the secretariat and
do our work unhindered.
“Also, those persons, claiming to be elected, did
not come to the office just to allow us to do our
work and I think at the end of the day reason has
prevailed.
“This is because the crisis is inimical to the
development of football for a big country like
Nigeria which is a powerhouse in African football.
“I believe that the event of today will be cemented
and peace will return to the Nigeria football.”

Over 20 suspected members of the deadly Boko Haram sect were on Sunday killed in Buratai town during a siege to the residence of the former Commander, Niger-Delta Special Task Force, Major General Tukur Buratai, an indigene of the town.

How to buy items on twitter

Twitter's giving new meaning to impulse buy.
The social network known for relaying information
quickly is testing a way for mobile shoppers to
purchase items directly from tweets. A small
percentage of US users will see a "Buy" button
within tweets, Twitter announced Monday.
"This is an early step in our building functionality
into Twitter to make shopping from mobile
devices convenient and easy, hopefully even fun,"
Twitter said in a blog post . The service, available
for Twitter's iOS and Android app, will eventually
expand to more users.
It's a potential revenue stream for a company
that's still figuring out how to make money off its
users. Currently, Twitter's main business is
advertising. Adding an e-commerce component
also gives Twitter the ability to store users' credit
card information for repeat purchases. Reports of
this service have circulated the rumor mill for
several months.
To power the service, Twitter partnered with e-
commerce sites Fancy, Gumroad, and Musictoday,
as well as payment service Stripe. It's not clear
how Twitter is splitting the profits with its
partners. The companies cover a wide range of
products and services -- Fancy uses social media
to sell physical products, Gumroad is a platform
for digital products and Musictoday was a pioneer
in pre-sale concert tickets.
After hitting "Buy," a user will see the product's
details and a prompt for shipping and payment
information. Once that's complete and submitted,
Twitter will hand the order over to the merchant.
The company said the information is encrypted --
merchants won't see the actual credit card
information without permission -- and stored after
the first purchase, but users can also remove the
information from their accounts.
Twitter is coupling the button with special offers
and exclusive merchandise from merchants, which
includes brands and music artists like Burberry,
Home Depot, Demi Lovato, and Pharrell, as well
as nonprofits like GLAAD and DonorsChoose. The
company said it's adding more merchants in "the
coming months."
Twitter isn't the first social media to try out
shopping within its channels. Facebook started
testing "buy" buttons within ads in July, and third
party companies have been experimenting with
selling things through social networks, including
Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, for years. Even
e-commerce giant Amazon has entered the social
media shopping game. It launched its own
campaign in May, allowing consumers to tweet
hashtags that add items to their Amazon carts

How you keep your computer awake with jiggle

We've all been there: You're watching a video or running a slide deck, when suddenly the screen dims. Or you step away from the PC for an extended period and come back to find it
locked out or in standby mode.
Why does this happen? Because Windows hasn't
logged any mouse or keyboard activity, so its
power-saving settings kick in.
Sure, you could monkey around with Windows'
power settings, forcing the system to avoid
screen-dimming, standby, and other power-
saving modes -- but that's a hassle.
