MALE FACIAL GROOMING

Male Facial Grooming

Looking at a picture of a much older relative (uncle for short) really justified the need for male facial grooming. He had received an  all fresh farm goat milk soap as a Christmas present among other things from his daughter. His face was looking smoother and evenly toned than it normally would, devoid of the sunburn and dark skin patches that had long plagued his face.

Men grooming is an age long practice and male beauty is actually a thing, from as far back as Ancient Greece. Men were expected to put their best face forward, be well groomed and kempt. In Ancient Greece the woman’s body was not liked , it had to be covered, whereas the male  body was considered neat and clean and was put on coins, made as statures and even idolized. In this modern time, the secret to good male facial grooming is “the secret”.

 Men don’t have to fix male facial dates or read cosmopolitan and bitch about their menstrual cycles not being in sync, while their legs are dipped in essential oils water , while still  watching Real house wives that had been DVRed for customers in  the salon.

 Men can simply go online, read shitty blogs like this one and get a DIY Kit and put their best face forward, except of  course, these men are celebrities, then they can simply have their companies handle the  deep frying of their  jerry curls (think  Jermane Jacksun) or they are Queers (Queers always get the pass for everything) or they are queer celebrities.(Hi, Adam Lambert).

How to go about Male Facial Grooming - The 12 Steps of Male Facial Grooming.

Male Facial grooming can be broken down into 12 male facial items, just like the 12 steps of AA.

1. FACE WASH.

Washing your face with typical toilet soaps is like taking paracetamol for every ache and pain, there are products that are specifically made for specific issues and all in one soaps are usually not worth their weight. Good Face wash would moisturize as it cleanses and would not strip the face off natural oils. Cetaphil is the most recommended Face wash, even Pharell Williams the ageless music producer swears by it. He gets happy like a room without a roof with Cetaphil (Endorsement deal booting….). Wash not more than twice a day, morning and night.

Just Look at Him with the CetaPhil Shine.

2. FACIAL SCRUB

Using a Facial Scrub is recommended once or twice a week, preferably weekends, where you can spend a little more time in the bathroom. Channel the masturbation time to facial scrubbing and genital intimate wash. Kyoku for Men Exfoliating Facial Scrub, Alba Botanica Sea Algae Enzyme Scrub and Nivea for Men Energy Face Scrub are the most recommended facial scrub for men. The main job of a facial scrub is exfoliation. Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells, blackheads which would in turn free ingrown hairs, prevent blemishes, and remove excess oils. Although these facial scrubs are very effective, exfoliation can also be done with some natural products like Honey and Sugar.

This is why the West has  Higher Water Consumption.

3. MOISTURIZER

The skin is in a constant state of Moisture loss from activities like heat exposure, washing and scrubbing the face. A moisturizer is very important to restore the skin’s moisture content. The positive effects of moisturizing are usually in the long run, when aging starts. Moisturizing would slow down skin aging, which is one of the benefits of male facial grooming. Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer is about the best moisturizer in the market, Neutrogena Men is also high up in the ranks

That's Kinda too much for just one spot.

4. PILLS

Vitamin E drops are for not only male facial grooming but for improved  overall skin health as it helps fight the effects of sun damage and prevent wrinkles. Vitamin A and C  are also very important. Vitamin A for acne and dry skin prevention and Vitamin C for  improved skin elasticity and strength. The Daily recommended dose for Vitamin A is 900 μg for Men (700 μg for women) while for Vitamin E is 400UI or 15mg and  vitamin  C is 90mg per day. Taking supplements continuously is not advisable, depending on the quality of the supplements, some supplements can lead to toxin build up. Take a break sometimes and get your vitamins naturally. Vitamin A occurs naturally in cereal and milk, Vitamin C in fruits, Vitamin E in Olive Oils and Papaya. Before adding supplements to your daily routine always check with your doctor. You might want to leave out the male facial grooming part.

The more colourful, your supplement rack is , the better.

                                                MALE GENITAL ODOR ELIMINATION

5. EYE CREAM

You might not want to put cucumbers over your eyes while sleeping but you can simply use an eye cream to reduce fine lines, dark circles and wrinkles or what is otherwise known as raccoon eyes which results from excessive drinking and staying up at night. You can simply save the money to be spent on an effective eye cream like Yalmeh super youth eye cream and instead get enough sleep and less alcohol or buy the eye cream and party anyway #YOLO. Dark patches under the eyes can also be as a result of stress,aging and vitamin K deficiency. The dark patches are actually blood vessels beneath the skin due to thinning of the skin layers. The best bet for raccoon eyes would be to double up on vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cucumber,dark leafy greens and pretty much anything green and tasteless.

Turn down for what? ,Who cares about  Raccoon eyes, Eye cream to the rescue.

6. MALE FACIAL HAIR REMOVAL

A very important step in male facial grooming is male facial hair removal. Male Beauty is largely dependent on beautiful skin with the shape of the head accentuated with facial hair. Having facial hair busting out of every orifice of your face would make you look like a fugitive except of course it is for religious reasons (then you get a pass from your religious community). Brow shaping, beard shaving and styling and nose hair pulling is vital for male facial grooming. You can go to a salon to have your eyebrows pulled out, shaped (you lose masculine points if you  squeal or become teary eyed) or buy yourself a facial hair trimming kit and just do it.

The only way your brows are gonna look
like this

is by doing this.

“Remember you might not be able to fight World Hunger except you have $30 Billion per Year, or end the war in Syria or get the housewives  and kardashians off the air, but you can make the world a better place by being an eye candy and make the day of those who site you.”

Lose weight fast

Surefire way to burn fat and lose Weight.

Chances are you are trying to lose weight or stay fit and you have started starving yourself or just thinking about it, either way, here are some tips that  would help you burn fat and lose weight.

The very first thing you need to do is calculate your body mass index , to see if you are underweight or overweight. Use the formula

BMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches x Height in inches ) ) x 703

Or

BMI = ( Weight in Kilograms / ( Height in Meters x Height in Meters ) )

Based on your answers and this chart, you should easily find where you belong.

This could be you , in a few years time

Adults BMI:	Women	Men
underweight	< 19.1	< 20.7
in normal range	19.1 - 25.8	20.7 - 26.4
marginally overweight	25.8 - 27.3	26.4 - 27.8
overweight	27.3 - 32.3	27.8 - 31.1
very overweight or obese	> 32.3	> 31.1

This chart and the BMI methods have been recently criticized as inaccurate, but until we find a better replacement,  we are still sticking to this.

Depending on your exercise, you might actually gain weight if you are trying to build muscles, but you would feel your pants become freer as well as your shirts, if you are really burning fat. Now here are some things you need to do based on personal experiences to burn fat and lose weight. 

1. Cut down on calorie intake. Consume less calories than your body burns. Calculate your daily calorie expenditure here and go 300 calories below it, leaving a cheat day where you maintain the calorie amount. Have four meals per day, spaced between four hours.  To achieve your calorie goals, you would need to replace salad dressings, chicken skins and egg yolks with almonds, flank, wild salmon and avocados.(You probably already know this)

2. Reduce the amount of carbs you eat, in order to reduce insulin which is a by product of carbs and is a fat storage hormone. This can be achieved by replacing every thing white from your meal, white rice, white flour, white bread, white potatoes with brown rice, wheat flour etc. Eat protein more, the body burns more calories processing protein than it does , processing carbs and fats.

3. Have a balanced diet all the time, instead of gulping down some sugary drink or soup. Mix your protein, with vegetables and carbs and eat them. Take young coconut water, when you can before a meal, it has very good skin glowing effects and also helps to curb your appetite and sugar cravings. Take proteins when you are about to sleep instead of foods high in carbohydrates. Eat your last meal 4 hours before bed. This is to ensure that the growth Hormone (GH), which the body produces during the first hour of sleep that helps burn fat is not inhibited by carbs.
                           
30 DAY GARLIC CHALLENGE

4. Go to bed on an empty stomach and a capsule of Nitric oxide. It would produce a surge in GH levels and would increase the pump in your excercises. This should be taken before bed on an empty stomach , otherwise you would have just wasted $30.

5. All white carbs should be eaten only after an intensive workout, most trainers recommend eating 6 meals per day, but most people eventually end up over shooting their calorie limits with 6 meals, feeling sleepy and bloated all the time  and eventually gaining weight and losing no fat.

FOODS THAT HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT

6. Do your workouts on empty stomachs, it opens up your reserves and  burns your fat storage. Also take time once in two weeks to empty your glycogen stores by fruit fasting with a particular fruit like apple or mango, eliminating all carbs from your food for the whole day.

SETTING UP A HOME GYM WITH LESS THAN $1000

7. Drink protein shakes, do cardios in the morning, wear fitted clothes , walk barefoot in the grass sometimes and if you still don’t become trim and fit, then call weight watchers. 

Use this guy as your motivation. Just keep your eyes on the breast flap, and tell yourself, someday, that flap could be mine.

Or just continue to down those super greasy
burgers #YOLO #FuckWeightLoss#TheBiggerThe Better.

Quit Smoking Apps

APPS THAT CAN HELP QUIT SMOKING.

Okay, after working with some friends all day and night and passively smoking through 5 packs of cigarettes, it’s time to find apps that can help people quit smoking. There is an app for everything now, except of course, an app that downloads food (until that happens, I’m not impressed). So here are the most recommended mobile applications that would go a long way in helping anyone interested in curbing the irritating habit of smoking. 

These apps however, would not take the cigarettes from you and lock them up in the trash can, or shame you with a picture of your “dilapidating” lungs, chapped lips , fucked up teeth and dry scaly skin, it wouldn’t show you a picture of how you look older than your age and how you would look in the years to come. They don’t even come close to showing you how you would want to cough out your lungs in the advert of a smoking induced lung cancer or give you a playback of your wheeze blaring in your beats , so they all need to be updated.

However, here are the apps some previous chain smokers swear by.

1.       Quit It

Straight to the point name. The quit it app is a free app with very good ratings. Instead of public shaming, like posting a  Facebook message  page to all your friends and members of your addiction class like  “That mother fucker is out in the dark corner of the street, fumbling with a lighter again and smoking his lungs out, this is the 2nd time in 2 days, the cigarette junkie would fall off the wagon”. It is instead based on motivation. It takes the amount of cigarette you smoke per day, the amount per pack and time of quitting and keeps furnishing you information on how much you’ve saved by not smoking, the amount of tar buildup your lungs has avoided and how much of a better person you have become with each health goal challenge, you’ve overcome. It is very straight forward, with few ads here and there , no annoying pop ups and other vices that would make you want to smoke.

2.       Livestrong

This app is going to be your quit coach, at least that is what it purports to be. It is a physician approved app and one of the most recommended. Some chain smokers however warn that the interface can make you smoke more.” I'd have 3 smokes already just setting the stupid thing up” It’s slogan is dare to quit smoking and it make use of social media, to brag about you coming out of the hole you got yourself in, in the first place. It tracks your cravings too. Here  is a review by someone of the smoking app by someone who doesn't smoke.

                                    WAYS TO QUIT YOUR JOB

3.       Quitter

Here is another app that helps you quit smoking called quitter. Like the name, it helps you quit but not only smoking, it helps you quit everything you want to quit, including life.

4.       Quit it with Andrew Johnson

This app has a soothing relaxing music to help fight cravings and the voice of Andrew Johnson, (think male siri’s voice if he smoked three packs of cigarettes then spoke) asides all the other similarities to all quit smoking apps.

There is also kick smoking app for window phone users and a ton of others.

Smoking is actually on the decline in developed countries except the ones in Europe  and on the rise in developing countries with no significant change in under developed countries, changing location can also help you quit smoking or otherwise increase your intake. Quitting smoking is not an easy task, you would need friends and community to help you. Join becomeanex.org or the stop smoking group on REDDIT.  One of the best ways of quitting a habit is finding another habit that would give you nearly as much pleasure as the old one. Good luck finding that .

Jerks with Camera

Jerks on Camera

There is this Prank show on MTV, called Jerks with Camera, Hosted by a guy called Tone Bell (sounds like the name of a struggling underrated R&B Artist ) and featuring some very theatrical set of people. The show has full representation  of almost all the races in America with a black girl , two black dudes ,a Indian, a Latino , a Chinese girl , two white guys and a white chic. The premise is not very original or new, but the guys seem to get stuff by some very unsuspecting strollers in the streets of LA.

This guys come up with funny tricks to unsuspecting people (at least that’s the way it seems) and most times it’s usually very funny. The show is already 10 episodes in and that’s all this season has , 10 episodes

From disturbing people with leaf blowers, to getting into people’s private space, to accusing people of being baby daddies, to very offensive news reporting, the show seems to have it all.

From the show you can immediately tell the kind of people who walk the streets of LA, the guys are mostly uptight, obnoxious and rude with an occasional sweet angel in the mix. (Wow, ladies have a hard time in LA), and most of the  nice guys are usually either very young (with the exception of some black stoners in one of the episodes) or already taken ( with a chic in tow) or black (I didn't see that coming).

The girls are more cooperative and  having a sense of humor and homely of course with some exceptions in between.

From  the show you can also tell , that people naturally tend to give much more audience to a good looking person. All the jerks are good looking with Dante and Amir taking the lead with looks and Danielle having the body of a Victoria secret model, except the height though.  We often tend to automatically listen to good looking people, no wonder Hollywood has so many unrealistic standard for actresses and actors.

The show however had poor editing and sometimes seem chopped  with the pranksters reactions to events seeming mostly unrelated to the event in question. The dialogue also seems a bit off and forced like they are reading from a cue board and they now have to figure out how to make the lines funny. The killer line though is “when a white guy who normally dates white chicks suddenly dates a black chick, he is said to be having a #BlackOut ”

Justin Hires seems like the next  and maybe funnier Kevin Hart. He’s quite funny, acts well and is all up in his blackness. The trio, Dante, grant and Geoff usually come up with the best set of pranks overall  and Kara and Susanne

always seem to give them a very fierce run for their money. They all have impressive comedic resumes and might move on to shooting sitcoms or having a greater stand up career.

This show brought in some good laughs every Thursday night as most of the so called comedic sitcoms and late night shows are just like watching paint dry, a show fest for celebrity worship.

Foods that prevent being Horny

Foods that prevent being horny

Being horny is natural but there are times when being sexually aroused might be totally unnecessary due to culture and environmental factors. The horny feeling is mainly due to blood flow to the genitals and other erotic regions of the body such as the nipples. Sex can only be initiated comfortably if both partaking parties are horny to a certain degree  except when one of the parties is being raped.  There are certain foods that might prevent you from being horny or in other words kill your sex  drive. This obviously can be advantageous  if you are beginning to have boners more often than usual. While it would be advisable to lay off foods that make you horny if you are on some kind of sex cleanse (whatever that is), you might also want to indulge in foods that would kill your sex drive (especially if you intend to be a monk or a catholic priest). 

What are the foods that would kill a boner?

1. Canned Foods.

Anything that comes in a can is a boner killer, indulge in a lifestyle of canned foods and watch your sex drive disappear. The high levels of sodium and low potassium and a host of substandard  additives and preservatives for commercial purposes is responsible for this. The daily intake of sodium should be limited to 2000mg but most canned foods are usually upward of that when you consider the quantities taken in one meal.

                      FOODS THAT HELP YOU GET PREGNANT

2. Soy and Cheese

One of the downsides of being a vegetarian is that soy and cheese becomes your major source of protein and your sex drive diminishes .  Cheese  gives the body xenoestrogen which results from the processing of cow milk with antibiotics and other agents while soy feeds the body with phytoestrogen which affects the hormonal balance in both men and women.

3. Carbonated drinks/Soda

This makes most sexy soda commercials ironic, because the product itself would  kill your sex drive. Apart from diabetes, weight problems and dehydration, you would also lose your sex drive.

I squirt Coke from my tits

4. Artificial Sweeteners

Most artificial sweeteners contain aspartame which counters Serotonin levels in the body. Serotonin is often called the happy hormone which is responsible for  normal sexual behavior which includes the feeling of horniness. Once serotonin levels are down, everything goes down hill into the depth of anxiety , depression, demotivation, insomnia and of course low sex drive.

FOODS THAT WHITEN YOUR TEETH

5. Alcohol and Coffee 

Alcohol in moderation can make you horny that is half a gram of alcohol per 2.2 pounds of body weight which transcends to  roughly about a can of beer, Anything above that would immediately start doing the opposite reducing testosterone production and preventing you from being horny. Coffee when taken in excess (more than a cup per day) would most likely affect the adrenal gland and leading to sexual imbalance and loss of sex drive.

6. Crisps , Chips and oils

Highly oxidized vegetable oils such as canola oil as well as crisps and chips leave a lot of  free radicals in the body which would interface with sexual hormone and kill your sex drive. 

Other foods that can prevent you from being  horny include licorice, granola, cornflakes, anything containing potassium nitrate and Monosodium glutamate.

Okay, this has nothing to do with anti horny foods, this  man is gay.

UGANDA BE KIDDING ME

UGANDA BE KIDDING ME

Okay, Uganda  has finally passed an anti gay law which is about the only thing that has kept Uganda in the news. Uganda had to do this immediately after Nigeria passed theirs, giving little time to see what would happen as regarding aids from the west being threatened.

Uganda  receives an  annual aid of $420 million which is now being threatened to be withdrawn. The president before signing the bill had found it difficult to convince the religious bodies to hold up on the  issue. This whole gay craze in central Africa is actually ludicrous because gays are a very distant minority who have already been driven to the ground by cultural and religious communities, but it is suddenly taking center stage amongst all the  important issues  and problems that pledge most predominantly black African countries. Problems like infrastructure, education, electric power and pollution.

 Uganda be kidding me because Uganda has 99 problems and gays are not one of them. Once caught or suspected in Uganda, you would most likely be attacked and   if eventually tried, sent to prison for 14 years and life imprisonment for repeat offenders. It is however not clear, if these homosexuals would be placed in same sex prisons or placed in opposite sex prisons, because the joke would be on Uganda, if two male homos are arrested and sent to jail in the same prison or to men who have been deprived conjugal visits for a very long time. #Orgies be going down in Uganda prisons.

The gay romance of African Leaders is however mostly linked to a plot to play on the religious sentiments of the people while diverting them from the immerse corruption and  wastefulness going on in the corridors of power in African countries. These laws would also lead to jungle justice which is also a major problem that no one seems to address in most African countries .

Just a day after the law was signed, 200 names were printed in a magazine called red pepper claiming all these people are gay. It is really ludicrous because it is quite  difficult to predict someone's  sexuality except you have been in bed with them. So the source of those names should also be questioned because it should take a gay to know one. But as we all know, take education away from people and give them religion and  throw a little bit of poverty in the mix and you would have taken all their power. 

You can say that the press is also trying to make some money out of the people  during this time by issuing out tabloid like stories , to boost sales.

Well, the effect of the draconian law as described by the west is already having effect on Uganda. A recent $90 million loan from the world bank has just been stalled. The world bank has said, the loans would be blocked. The loans were originally meant for the healthcare system. Norway and Denmark has also frozen their aids to Uganda due to the bill which also condemn blow jobs. The law has also affected Uganda currency as it dipped 2.9% within the first week.  While gays in Nigeria are not smiling, citizens in Uganda are yet to comprehend what just hit them, although some leaders still insist that the west can keep their aids. Uganda be kidding me.

AMERICAN IDOL- A BURNT BRIDGE

AMERICAN IDOL- A BURNT BRIDGE

There are several singing competitions now . American Idol, America’s got Talent, The Voice, The sing offs, Duets and a host of others across the world. This  shows seem to have something in common, Judges and contestants . Judges who are overpaid to sit and tell the people what everyone already knows and contestants who are forced to push their natural talents in a shoe hole for publicity and popularity. 

Why would anyone go on American Idol?

If you win, you would get a 1 Million dollar recording contract, which means, a million dollars would be spent to make an album for you. This has recently been slashed down to $350,000 or even $250,000 for the winner and a paltry$175,000 for the second place. The remaining top 10 or 12 may have the opportunity to make singles with their advance fees amounting to about $24,000 for up to 4 singles. Not all contestants get a red cent but if you make it to the top 10 or 12 in some cases, you then register with the performance union AFTRA from which you then get performance fees for the show upwards of  $921 per hour. The contracts then go on to fix their pays for albums one to six depending on it’s success and if they are greenlighted. The top 10 contestants also  make money from the whole show by going on the top 10 tour in which they make a minimum of $1000 per show. This sounds good to the guy living in his trunk and getting money from his piggy bank but when you consider that Jennifer Lopez is going to leave Idol without breaking a sweat with $17.5 million, an amount, the winner would not be worth in 5 years, it leaves a very bad taste in your mouth.

American Idol like most other singing competitions across the world, benefits only two sets of people, the producers and the judges. The audience might also get some form of entertainment but the thousands and thousands of people sleeping outside in the cold waiting for their fifteen minutes of fame are just building their tent in the wind. Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Kellie Pickler are all alumni that most intending contestants take as role models but for you to get to these heights with American Idol, you would first have to have a massive hit debut album with singles running up and down the charts. Chances are that with $350,000 and no songwriting or production abilities, you wouldn’t be able to come up with that massive album.

Why you shouldn’t go for  American Idol or a singing competition

1. If you sound good and can make good music , you probably don’t need some overpriced Judges to tell you so, on National Television, you need to get up and do something about it instead like facing a recording studio. Come back to the Competition when all else has failed or when you are the same age with Susan boyle

2. There are a lot of contestants who have had to go back to normal jobs after being on the show and it sucks. Just ask everyone among the  7-24 on each season. These shows put you in the spotlight with strobes , backup singers, live instrument players and then leave you out when the show is over, moving onto the next set  of contestants next year. The show doesn't care about the contestants ,they are just exploiting the love we have for the underdogs and cashing in on it and just to  prove that point, everyone is talking about who takes the judges seats to save the show , not what all the former winners and contestants are up to  or how to get the best crop of musicians out there and help them build a career. 

3. Everything about the show is showbiz and if you look closely, most of the artists on billboard today would not have made it pass the audition room of American Idol. And if they did, they wouldn’t make it pass the  selection. The selection process is what the Voice tried to capitalize on and make a show off,where you listen to people’s voice and not look at their appearance or how camera friendly they are. Most of the artists making waves now , even if they get pass the audition would not make it pass the Top 40 selection, think Lorde, Adele etc.

4. Music is no longer really about being able to hit high deafening notes and the earlier you get on that train the better, Music is now about how highly produced your tracks are, just think Rihanna winning urban contemporary album over fantasia, or Chris Brown winning the same award over R.kelly and then think Daft Punk winning album of the year. If you want a music career, start learning how to work with garage band  or Steinberg  or J4T Multitrack and how to make lots and lots of new unconventional sounds, even the grammys is towing that road, think Macklemore and ryan lewis who have never performed with live instruments but just get those engineered sounds and just hold  instruments in their performances. In the present day and time, you can become an independent artist and go far.

5. The terrible contracts these contestants have to sign, virtually giving all their rights and careers away to the mercies of shrewd businessman who may not even have their time but still keep them under locks and chains is alarming. If your talent is really worth it’s salt then maybe you should find yourself a better breeding ground.

Ways to get rid of Man Boobs

Ways to get rid of man boobs.

Except you are Simon Cowell, chances are that you have man boobs and you want to get them out. Man boobs take a lot away from the Alpha Male, the  King size Marlboro Man  who the ladies love( he’s dead by the way due to excessive smoking, karma’s a bitch). Breasts or Boobs in the first place has everything to do with feminism. All foetus are usually female within the first eight weeks of the pregnancy period, until the Y chromosomes comes to play. Having breasts for men is the ultimate sign for that, now having those boobs grow and become subtle and protrude out of a fitted  designer shirt is a sign that nature is playing a big joke on you, everyone is laughing and pulling away and you shouldn't  take it lying down, you've got to get rid of man boobs. The multiple names that exist for this piece of nature’s joke make it even funnier. You hear, man boobs, male breasts, man breast, moobs, man tits, moobies, chesticles, man titties or in rear cases the real biological names pseudogynecomastia or gynecomastia.

RELATED: MAKE YOUR BOOBS BIGGER

Why do you have man boobs?

There are several reasons why man boobs appear, some of which are

1. Hormonal Imbalance

2. Excessive Fat

3. Symptoms of  Health Problems

4. Drug use.

Hormonal Imbalance occurs during Puberty or as a result of taking body building stimulants (Androgen) or some kind of exposure to estrogen. Most breast growth during puberty soon disappear except there is a continuous exposure to androgen and estrogen. Such estrogen exposure might be from foods containing phytoestrogens and xenoestrogens which include soy and dairy products, some herbs like thyme and licorice including those used in shampoos like tea tree oil  and some fruits like apples. Soy Products especially, are the culprit here. Klinefelter's syndrome , a benign condition where the human male has an extra X chromosome falls under this man boobs causes. The man in this case has an (XXY) as against (XY) and that is simply being 34% less of a man and more of a woman. 

Obesity, among all other side effects that it comes with comes with man boobs. When you are fat everything with the exception (and detriment) of your penis is fat including your boobs. The health implications of being obese are very obvious, everything eventually leading to death and creating a whole lot of extra work for the funeral home and extra charges for your loved ones due to super sized coffins and extra grave space. Obesity is a killer, it will rob you of your fun, your comfort and your life. Man boobs due to fat is known as pseudogynecomastia.

Testicular cancer might also be the cause of man boobs or gynecomastia. This is usually accompanied by heaviness in the scrotum, dull ache in the abdomen, lower back pain, tenderness of breasts , discharge and a host of other symptoms. It is important to see a doctor in case, man boobs are accompanied with heaviness or swelling of the nuts sack. It just might be testicular cancer and the earlier it’s discovered, the easier it would be to nip it in the bud. Other health issues such as kidney failure,liver failure etc also have gynecomastia as symptoms.

Drug use is also one of the leading causes of man boobs. Marijuana would get you high and also make your breasts pop and sag although snoop dogg and wiz khalifa seems to have thrown this medical postulate in the dustbin, there are still a few people around who are living testimonies to this. Other s such as heroin, alcohol, ampthetamines, valium, methadone, some antibiotics and even chemotherapy can result in gynecomastia.

A blood test or mammogram is the best way to actually determine the cause of gynecomastia .

Old Age would also result make your boobs sag just take a look at

Gays are not Smiling in Nigeria

Gays are not Smiling in Nigeria.

Okay, if you follow the News, you would know by now, that another African Country, the most populous one this time around has issued an anti-gay bill , that purports to outlaw gay marriage, groups and organization with penalties as high as 14 years imprisonment.This bill has been in the works for quite sometime.

Nigeria, a predominantly black country is a very religious country, and as anyone knows , one of the major flaws of organized religion is that it  promotes self-righteousness and bigotry, and Nigeria is supposedly filled to the brim with such. Research has shown that the gay community in Nigeria is very low to non existent in some areas  and most people don’t even know what it is or can they wrap their heads around it. This however doesn’t change the fact that there are gays everywhere in the world.

And like the proverbial three sides to every story, here are the three sides to the Nigerian Gay story.

HIS SIDE

Christianity and Islam are the most common religion  in Nigeria, with each claiming almost half of the population. Some form of religious affiliation is usually necessary to get ahead in Nigeria and religious leaders ranks among the richest and most powerful figures in the country. These two religious views do not support homosexuality in their core. The Quran, the holy book of Muslims (followers of Islam) reads

” Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." Qur'an 7:80-81,

 "What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, and leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are forward folk." Qur'an 26:165”. 

Some scholars have even gone further to reference a certain Hadith Literature which they claim are authentic sayings of the Prophet Mohammed, which puts homosexuality in a bad light and claims the death penalty is the most appropriate. 

Two examples are: "When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shakes." 

"Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to." 

(In reference to the active and passive partners in gay sexual intercourse). This has been the basis of death penalties in Extreme Islamic countries like Iran (over 4000 executed since 1979) and Afghanistan (10 public executions).

The bible, the holy book of the Christians reads Leviticus 18:22 “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

 and the penalty is also death in Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”. 

A lot of Christian scholars also believed God destroyed Sodom because of Homosexuality because the young men wanted to “bang” the angels God sent down to the Land.(Yeah, they saw the angels and they were like, “ We’ve got to tap that!”), thus beginning the word sodomy used to refer to homosexual activities by conservatives. In Christianity however, a lot of words contained in the old testament, the one of two divisions of the bible, the other being the new testament is not taken to be as binding as the new testament due to the old testament being believed to be written during the dispensation of the law and the new testament, the one with Jesus in it, being believed to be written as in the dispensation of Grace which is aimed at drawing the lost children of God back to the father by issuing grace, forgiveness and mercy and turning a blind eye on sin to which the blood of Jesus is believed to cleanse Christians from, which forms the basis of Christianity. A reference to this is reads.

“blessed is he , whose sins God no longer holds against him” in Romans 4:8.

This marks the basis of homophobia in a country like Nigeria, Uganda and so many other very religious countries in the world.

HER SIDE

The many beliefs and views of Nigerians can easily be read on the internet(forums like Nairaland), comments on news sites and Social Media. That is the over half of the population  of the country who exhibit some form of homophobia.  They come up with rationales like "it is unnatural". "The bolt was made for the nut and not two bolts and two nuts". "Gays can’t have kids and this would threaten the world population and indeed the human race". "The asshole is a seat of infection who can fathom?"

That's a Banana dipped in Nutella, Any questions?

Homosexuality is not an African Culture and that animals wouldn't even stoop so low just to get a rush of hormone. Others believe, what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah is going to happen if such drastic measures are not taken and that earthquakes, floods and drought are just warning signs of impending doom. Still, others believe it is a western world agenda to reduce the world Population, others say it is occult. Some simply have simplistic views, that gays haven’t sexually explored enough to find the deep treasures of ecstasy buried in the opposite sex and some of those simplistic views also include being smacked on the head(or in some cases with sticks and stones) to create some kind of mental reset for gays. Some also believe that homosexuality is a sign of  the dark demonic world of Satan creeping in on mankind.  In the midst of all these beliefs , gays are not smiling.

THE TRUTH

Now, even the truth has three sides to it.

HIS SIDE

The gay marriage  bill has  very little to do with gays in Nigeria. Every thing done in most countries of the world usually have some kind of subliminal mission. In this case, it is believed to be a political move to put the present President Goodluck Jonathan back on the favourable sides of the masses who have been greatly disappointed that his administration has fallen short of what they expected it to be. Goodluck was the epitome of goodluck something Nigerians believe in and with the humble backgrounds of the president coming from a then remote part of the country to occupying the supposedly highest seat of power with a  humble charisma and a touching  "shoeless"  childhood story, he was Nigerian’s sweetheart.

 However lots of promises have not been kept and there has been significant cases of daylight corruption, something that has threatened and is still threatening Nigeria . With Political open letters flying here and there and politicians forming and reforming new political parties, the average Nigerian has developed a bad taste to anything government. Here the gay bill comes in, to significantly affect way more than half the population of religious people. There are no courts in Nigeria getting marriage requests from gay people and there were already laws prohibiting unnatural sexual activities .This is no more than a previously proven way by those in power to distract and unify the majority by defining a minority as an object of hate. Germany 1930s.

 Some Conspiracy theorist however  believe  that this is a man shooting himself in the foot because this whole agenda is being orchestrated by his political enemies who gave him the impression that this is the right thing to do knowing fully well, it’s going to affect international relations at a time where countries with homophobic laws are softening them for the sake of international relations and activities such as sporting events and  investments.  These “wolves in sheep clothing” are hoping that by this , his administration would be further affected, eliminating foreign aid and streamlining international relations, making gay expatriates and liberal investors check out and in turn affecting the country and bringing down his administration. Only time would be able to completely tell his side of the story correctly.

HER  SIDE

Jungle justice is prevalent in African Countries, Nigeria included. It is common practice among the poorly educated to take laws into their own hands in most cases with law enformenet officers present. Recently four undergraduates were maimed to death because they were thought to have stolen materials from a neighboring village to their campus. The laws would make jungle justice for gays acceptable and with no clear proof of the sexuality of anyone, it becomes a war of who can shout the loudest and has convincing power. Men living together would start having issues of people raising eyebrows and some hotels have started indicating that police has ordered them not to allow unrelated men sleep in the same hotel room.

THE TRUTH

The gay bill is not going to solve any of Nigeria’s problems of greed, corruption, low employment levels, poor infrastructure and power . A better bill, the petroleum bill would have done that. God didn’t destroy Sodom because of its homosexuality   according to  Ezekiel 16: 48

” 9 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, overabundance of food, prosperous ease, and idleness were hers and her daughters’; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.50 And they were haughty and committed abominable offenses before Me; therefore I removed them when I saw it and I saw fit”.

 Apostle paul (a new testament prophet) believes that homosexuality is an evidence of God’s wrath on Mankind in 

Romans 1:26-27 “26 For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,27 And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another—men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own [d]bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.28 And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome,”,

 He also believes and warns Christians that homosexuals won’t make heaven  in

 1 corinthians 6: 9 -10” 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality,10 Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.” 

Jesus however, says, he is the way to the father in Heaven.

Homosexuality is as old as man, that the reason it is recorded in all ancient books and from history , homosexuality was widely practiced around the world, African included before the advent of Christianity and other Religions. Homosexual behaviour also exist in animals.
