25 Beautifully Romantic Ways To Say ‘I Love You’

Why is it so difficult to say I love you sometimes? Or to be romantic, just for the sake of it? I don’t know if you’re like me, but I feel this unexplainable urge to be hopelessly romantic yet don’t always know how to express it in a way that feels right.

The 3 Magic Words Your Man Wants (And Needs) To Hear From You

Don't be shy to tell your husband just how special he is to you!

OK Ladies — drop everything, because I'm about to reveal the three magic words that make a man's heart melt. Valentine's Day is around the corner, and if you want to take your relationship with your man deeper than ever, you will need to know these three words.

I know right now you're probably thinking the words must be, "I want you." But remember we're talking about a man's heart melting here, not his groin. "I want you," is amazing if you want to turn a man on, but if you want a man's love tank to fill up so much, you're looking for a different three words. These three words trigger primal feelings in a man.

When you say these words to a man, he'll do almost anything for you. Don't you love it when a man runs errands for you? Don't you love it when a man buys you a gift for no reason, other than he felt like it? Don't you love it when a man gives you his full attention every day, and listens to every word you have to say to him?

Wouldn't you love it if your man supported you in your career dreams, and gave you the freedom to be yourself and to spend time with your friends? This guy is starting to sound pretty amazing isn't he? He's attentive, he cares, he lets you be the woman you want to be. And all this because you said three mystery words to him?

"Good God, David! Just tell me the three words already!"

Ok…

Are you ready?

The three magic words that make a man’s heart melt are…

I APPRECIATE YOU!

Whenever a woman says it to me, whether they're my friend or lover, it makes me stop for a minute. It makes me think, and it makes me feel really good. It fills me up in so many ways. I appreciate you. It's so simple.

All you're doing is telling someone how much you appreciate the little things they do. You're telling him that what he does makes you feel good. And let's face it — men are just like big, trained gorillas in a zoo. Or like a dog who likes a pat on the head and a back scratch when we do something good.

But when you appreciate us, and acknowledge us in some small way, it makes us want to do things for you over and over. It makes us want to prove to you how much we want to make you happy. We love it. It makes men feel needed and alive. Just three very simple words, yet they mean everything to a guy.

Learn to use those words in your relationships and watch the way your man responds. Watch the way he starts doing things for you. And watch how much he starts to appreciate you in ways you can only dream of. I guarantee those three little words will transform the relationships you have with men forever.  You can thank me later!

I’ll leave you by saying thanks, and I APPRECIATE YOU for reading!

Fulani Herdsmen Attacks: Food Scarcity Looms

Food scarcity is imminent across the nation, following a drastic reduction in food production as a result of insecurity in different parts of Nigeria. Apart from the impact of the activities of the Boko Haram in the North East, which have displaced thousands of agrarian communities, farming activities have also come under threat in the middle belt and southern regions owing to the menace of Fulani herdsmen. In recent weeks, the armed herdsmen who are now found in almost every community in the South -East, South- South and South- West geo-political zones have clashed with farmers, a situation that has resulted in the death of several persons in the hands of suspected Fulani herdsmen.

As a corollary, various groups in Southern Nigeria such as the Ohaneze Ndigbo, Movement for Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Odua People’s Congress (OPC) have issued ultimatums, demanding the exit of the herdsmen from their lands.

This has reduced the movement of cattle and foodstuff to markets in the southern part of the country, as the Hausa/ Fulani traders have become apprehensive that they might be attacked by the aggrieved people of Southern Nigeria. Our correspondents gathered that while many farmers in the South had abandoned their farmlands for security reasons, traders from the North have cut down on the quantity of cattle, rice, beans and vegetables they move down to the South for sale. The result has been an unprecedented increase in prices of these staple foods in the market.

Few cows, fewer tomatoes

“Usually, 200 Peugeot J5 model buses leave the Kaduna Central Market with baskets of tomatoes to Kogi, Edo and Delta states everyday during the peak season between December to March,” Malam Idris Sherrif, the National chairman of Vegetable Farmers Association of Nigeria, told one of our correspondents. In the same vein, 400 Tangle lorries and about 500 Peugeot J5 Models go to Lagos alone, Sherrif said. “Mile 12 Market alone used to absorb 80 trailers of tomatoes, apart from other vegetables like onions, chillies and hot pepper every day.’’

However, in the last few years, the volume of sales, even within the North, has dwindled and the cost of vegetables has increased, Malam Idris has lamented. “Right now, the situation is worse because this is not the season for tomatoes,” he said.

Before now, a basket of tomatoes costs just N3,000 during the dry season, but the same quantity now sells for between N10,000 to N20,000, depending on the supply. “In the South, the price increase will be more because the number of lorries that convey the commodities to the region has reduced drastically because of the recent threats that northerners face, owing to the order given by some groups that herdsmen should leave their areas,’’ Sheriff said.

According to him, most of the dealers were afraid of going down to the South because of the threat of the Oodua Peoples Congress and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign States of Biafra who were peeved by the recent attack in Ukpabi- Nimbo, Uzo Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State. A prominent cattle dealer at Zango Cattle Market, Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar, said that cattle dealers are wary of going to the South in recent times. “The recent threat by southerners that our people should leave their area has made even the few who used to go there to be apprehensive. Some traders are still plying their trades but majority have adopted a wait-and-see attitude,” he said.

Nasarawa State

In Nasarawa State, farmers have complained about the disruption of farming activities by the herdsnen and raised the alarm over the heavy presence of nomads and cows and destruction of crops on farmland in some parts of the state. Chairman of United Farmers Association in Kadarko in Keana Local Government Area in the state, complained that attacks and mischief by Fulani cattle on farms was slowing down farming activities in the area. “We are afraid of going to farm freely because there are many Fulani people grazing around our farms with guns and destroying crops.

I am calling on government to do something urgently about this to enable us go to farm without any fear of being attacked,” he said. National President of Middle Belt Youth Development Organisation, Chris Aba, who spoke to Sunday Telegraph in Lafia, expressed concern that food shortage was imminent in the region if attacks on farmers by suspected Fulani herdsmen were not stopped. Aba took a swipe at the Federal Government’s idea to create ranches for Fulani herdsmen, arguing that any person or group of persons in Africa or Nigeria that does not inherit any land should be treated as a foreigner.

Benue State

In Benue State, referred to as the Food Basket of the Nation, farmers and residents have expressed apprehension over imminent famine and starvation if urgent measures were not taken by both the federal and state governments to end the intractable attacks on farmers by suspected Fulani herdsmen..

Vice Chairman, All Farmers Association of Nigeria, (AFAN), controlling Benue and North East, Mr. Terfa Yalu, stated that 80 per cent of the Benue population depends largely on agriculture, which is mostly done at a subsistence level, and noted that if urgent measures are not initiated with a view to ending the feud, the country will be confronted with serious food scarcity. “I am foreseeing a situation in Benue State where famine and starvation are likely to strike due to the incessant attacks on farmers. You can see that the farmers who are producing the food and even exporting to other countries are being massacred like animals by the Fulani insurgents and when these farmers are not there, then it means there will be hunger in the land”.

“Let me tell you, Benue State is widely known as the food basket of the nation and when the farmers are killed or their crops destroyed, it will definitely give rise to famine, hunger and starvation”, Yalu predicted.

The AFAN helmsman, who said the Fulani attacks was a deliberate ploy to destabilise the present administration at all levels by those who do not mean well for it, said it was capable of frustrating foreign investors from doing businesses in the country. He commended steps taken by the President Mohammadu Buhari administration so far to end the imbroglio. He said it was unfortunate that many women and children who are of school age have greatly been affected in the attacks, and expressed concern that the attacks have come when the country was nursing the bruises it sustained from the deepening economic down turn.

South-East

A combination of factors is at work to unleash unprecedented famine on the people of South-East geo-political zone. One of the factors is the late and irregular rain fall this season followed by a reduction in the volume of foodstuff transported from the northern parts of the country to the area.

The shortage was due to widespread communal clashes between farmers and Fulani herdsmen across the country. The greatest factor, especially as it affects the zone, is the abandonment of farms by farmers in agricultural areas of Enugu State for fear of attacks by Fulani herdsmen. Although kidn**pping, r**pe, armed robbery and killing of farmers are some of the vices the Fulanis were accused of perpetrating in the zone over the years, these vices seem to have quadrupled this year.

The worst being the killing of farmers and r**pe of their women by suspected Fulani herdsmen. For instance, a community leader from Ukpabi-Nimbo and former Chairman of Uzo-Uwani local government area, Chief Danniel Okweli, told our reporter that the Fulani people have killed up to six of their farmers in the last four years.

“For two decades now, we have been living in fear. Our people are now hungry because we can’t go to farm again. If their cattle destroy our farm and you complain, they will tell you it is not their cattle. But when you kill their cattle, they will kill human beings.

They value their cattle more than human life,” he lamented. Similarly, the member representing Nsukka East Constituency in Enugu State House of Assembly, Chinedu Nwamba, said: “These days, from my research, many people no longer go to farm. This is a very dangerous trend that is about happening to the Igbos because nobody is free to go to farm again. So in due time, we are going to face hunger because of incessant attacks by the Fulani herdsmen on our people.

“And the major cause is that they are allowed to move from one place to another. If they are being restricted from moving from one place to another they will not see anybody to rob, they won’t see people to kidn**p, they won’t see people to destroy their crops, they won’t see crops to destroy. So people are no longer going to farm in Enugu state for fear of cattle rearers.”

Nwamba told our correspondent that he is currently working on “A Bill For A Law to make provisions for the Control of Nomadic Cattle Rearing in Enugu State and Other Matters Related thereto: The Enugu State Control of Nomadic Cattle Rearing Law, 2016”. Uzo-Uwani is one of the foremost agricultural local government areas of the state. With farmers in many communities of the council abandoning their farms this year, there is no doubt that it will seriously lead to decline in agricultural output this year.

But the problem is not restricted to Uzo-Uwani. In fact, at various times, other local government areas in the state have allegedly had their own fair share of violent attacks and r**pe of their women in their farm, making them to abandon their farms for fear of being killed. Prominent among the local governments where the clash has become pronounced is Awgu, another area where 90 per cent of residents are predominantly farmers. Just last month, 78 youths and men of Ugwuleshi community in the local government were arrested by the military for allegedly waging ‘war’ against Fulani herdsmen.

The Traditional Prime Minister of the community, Chief Stephen Onuoha, who spoke to our correspondent on telephone, said that military men numbering over 50 and armed-to-teeth invaded his community and started arresting everybody they saw.

“On the whole, over 78 persons, mainly young men, were arrested and taken to Abia State. As a matter of fact, from 2010 till date, Fulani herders have been troubling us. We have made appeals to their leaders and we have written to various institutions of government, which include the police, Directorate of State Security, Awgu Council Chairman, Enugu State House of Assembly, Enugu State Government, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, and member representing our people in the Federal House of Representatives, Hon. Tobi Okechukwu, complaining about the manner the Fulani herdsmen move their cattle to the farm and destroy our crops after farming.

“We had so many reconciliation meetings, yet, every season, they destroy our crops. We don’t have any other business than farming and our lives depend on it. However, in 2014, one of our brothers went to the farm, the Fulani herdsmen killed him not only that, they severed his body, put him in a sack and dropped him inside the river. This matter was reported at the Divisional Police Station in Awgu, but nothing happened,” he said.

Delta State

In Delta State, several agrarian communities are now apprehensive of what this year’s farming season holds for them in view of the activities of the Fulani herdsmen. Last year, clashes between farmers and the herdsmen were rampant and in some cases, resulted in fatalities. The incessant conflict between herdsmen and their host communities hit its climax on January 5, 2015, when some armed Fulani herdsmen reportedly kidn**pped the paramount ruler of Ubulu- Uku in Aniocha South Local Government Area of the state.

The monarch, HRM Akaeze Edward Ofulue III, was subsequently murdered by his captors and his body dumped in the bush. The corpse was discovered 15 days later. But even the outcry that followed that gruesome incident did not prevent the herdsmen from wrecking more havoc in other communities in the state. In fact, the apparent inaction of the government and its security agencies may have emboldened these herdsmen as they simply moved on to other communities in the state. In September last year, three persons were killed when some Fulani herdsmen attacked farmers in Amoji , Onicha-Ukwuani, Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State. The conflict was ignited when the herdsmen allowed their cattle to stray into the community’s farmlands, destroying a lot of crops in the process.

A group of eight young men had earlier been massacred by a band of Fulani herdsmen at Ogume, Ndokwa-West LGA while a 30-year old palm wine tapper was also killed by the herdsmen in Ofagbe, Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State.

There are herdsmen in almost every community across the three senatorial districts of the state and everywhere they go, their story has been that of forceful occupation of community lands, de-

struction of farm crops and violence against any host community who dares challenge their effrontery.

These incidents have forced the various communities to issue eviction notices to the herdsmen. But rather than leave these communities, the herdsmen merely retreated deeper into the forests where they graze their cattle.

While occupying the farms, these herdsmen also help themselves with the farm produce, leaving the farmers with nothing but hunger and sorrow. In Onicha-Ukwuani for instance, the herdsmen took over the farmlands in Amoji, Ibabu and Ugiliamai communities for the most part of last year and farmers could not venture into their farms for fear of being killed. One of the farmers, Ojebo Olise, told Sunday Telegraph that he lost all his corn and yams to the herdsmen because there was no way to get to the farm without encountering the armed herdsmen.

“They took over our farms around the month of July and that was about the time we were just waiting for the fresh corn to mature. They occupied the whole place and despite our cry to the Local council and state government authorities, they remained inside the bush waiting to kill whoever would come to challenge them. “The result is that we lost out in terms of the harvest from last year’s farming season.

Imagine planting your yams and not being able to weed the grass and attend to the crops. At the end of the day, we lost everything,” he said. Olise told Sunday Telegraph that at the moment, the situation has not changed significantly because even though the communities have again asked the Fulani herdsmen to leave, there were still reports that they were being sighted in some remote forests.

“Many of our people are still not confident going back to their farms because of the presence of these herdsmen. We want the Delta State Government to step into the matter by ordering these herdsmen to leave our farmlands. We are predominantly farmers who depend on our farm produce for the sustenance of our families. If herdsmen are allowed to take over our lands by force, how do we produce food for our families and have some surplus to sell to earn some income?

We want the state government to look into this matter and avoid violent conflicts with these herdsmen. We want our people to return fully to their farms without having fears that they might be attacked by herdsmen,” he said. Just last week, the people of Obiaruku community, Ukwuani Local Government Area, Delta State asked the Fulani herdsmen in their community to leave with immediate effect. The eviction order was announced at a town- hall meeting after eight people were allegedly kidn**pped by the herdsmen.

It was resolved that the herdsmen must leave so that the farmers in the community could return to their farmlands. Like in other parts of the state and by extension the South South geo-political zone, the presence of the herdsmen was hindering normal farming activities and have become a threat to security and public peace.

The General Manager, Climate Service, Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Mr. Joseph Alozie, said the extended dry season and excessive heat being experienced this time in the country was expected, saying however that it is not forever.

He said that the changes is responsible for the hot weather, heat, dry conditions and dusty environment, adding that the long dry season is about coming to an end as the rainy season sets in. According to him, the hot weather is the result of the changes in the atmosphere. He pointed that though weather was excessively hot this year and the dry season a bit long, “You will start to think of serious negative if it is followed by very low rainfall, but only agriculturist will say what they are expecting this year.

Robber Drives Dagger Into Man’s Head In Abuja

A TEAM of Nigerian doctors in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territiory, has shown the wonders it can perform in the country with highly improved healthcare facilities, with a surgical feat, the kind CNN would have beamed to global viewers if it had been done in America.

The story began when a commercial motorcyclist, Muhammed Kabiru, 35, first proved that he is a diehard and that God has special interest in him.

He miraculously survived an attempt by a robber to snatch his motorcycle by stabbing him in the head with a long dagger that penetrated very deep into his head and stuck fast. It remained in that position until doctors surgically removed it after several hours.

The incident happened in Abuja.

Kabiru, who spoke through his brother, Mustapha, said that on the fateful day, one man, who pretended to be a passenger had approached him to take him on a ride to Masaka, a town in Nasarawa State that borders Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, and they agreed on a fare.

The journey along the highway was smooth with Kabiru not having an inkling he was taking the devil on a ride and that tragedy was lurking around.

“As we approached the man’s destination, I asked for the transport fare of N300.00, which we had earlier agreed on. He dipped his hand into his pocket and what he brought out baffled me. Rather than give me the transport fare, he stabbed me with a dagger, thinking that I would fall off the motorcycle and he would take it away.”

Taking up the tale, Mustapha said: “Alas, my brother did not fall off the bike, but instead he rode on with the long dagger stuck in his head.”

Sunday Sun learnt that his situation drew the attention and sympathy of other motorcyclists around, who rallied round and promptly took him to a nearby police station to lodge complaints.

“He was later taken to Pan Raf Hospital, Nyanya, where doctors led by one Dr. Odia and other members of staff battled to save his life, through emergency care.

When he appeared to have stabilized, the doctors referred him to another hospital for proper management and care.

“An X-ray of the skull showed the dagger had gone in from the right side of the face just in front of the ear and was nearly poking out from the cheek on the other side,” a source at the hospital said.

The terrible condition, Sunday Sun

learnt necessitated an urgent surgical operation to remove the dagger stuck on his head and save his life. Realising that time was of essence and to avoid a situation where Kabiru would bleed to death, the two hospitals undertook the immediate medical care including surgical operation without demanding money.

One of the doctors, who performed the yeoman’s job, Dr Biodun Ogungbo, a consultant neurosurgeon shared the case via www.dokilink, an online platform for Nigerian doctors.

He said: “I got the call from the hospital at 6 am. They had also emailed the shocking pictures of the man with a dagger buried in his head.”

“The hospital (Pan Raf Hospital), had mobilised a team of doctors and nurses to review, manage and operate on this chap in the quickest possible time.

The ophthalmologist had reviewed and luckily, the dagger had not damaged the eye.

He could move his eyeballs equally on both sides and without pain. There was also no blood in the eye. The maxillo­facial surgeon was happy with him as well.”

Ogungbo further stated: “No obvious bleeding from the nose or ear and all looked calm in the face. Except for this long handled dagger sticking out of him. The neurological evaluation was also satisfactory. He could give a good account of the incident.

“We proceeded with plans for removing the dagger. First, we sent him for a CT brain scan to see what damage the dagger had done and the likely injured structures in its path through the head.

“The brain and the eye as well as the big blood vessels (carotid arteries) supplying the brain all seemed well. It did appear that he had escaped major brain injury, stroke, blindness and immediate death. He bled a bit from the wound but was alive and still talking.”

Continuing, Ogungbo said: “Under general anaesthesia, we cleaned the area thoroughly, including the knife and applied our sterile drapes around it. We then made fresh cuts in the skin to help expose the skull bone and the area where the dagger actually entered into the bone.

“It required a big hammer and an outstanding effort to whack the dagger back through its track in the bone. A great effort was required and this gave further evidence, attesting to the severity and savagery of the attack. He did not bleed to death on the table and instead went on to make a safe and satisfactory recovery.”

Female Boko Haram Member Nabbed During Operation

The Army on Saturday said during the ongoing clearance and rescue operations carried out by the troops of 28 Task Force Brigade, they were able to clear the enclaves of Boko Haram terrorists along Galtha Baba, Galtha Musa, Bulakurma, Shatimari, Chukruk, Bulangaje, and Disa villages.

Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, said during the operation, a young female Boko Haram terrorist was captured alive.

Motorcycles, bags of grains, their flags and uniforms belonging to the terrorists were recovered.

“Other items included the suicide bomber’s hijab, a mobile phone and one dane gun and cooking utensils. The troops also rescued 15 persons that were held hostages by Boko Haram terrorists in the area.

“Unfortunately, two Armoured Fighting Vehicles entered an Improvised Explosive Device. However, the formation did not sustain any human casualty and the damage to the AFVs was minimal.

“The captured terrorist is being interrogated and would be taken to the relevant agencies for prosecution.”

Former Top Porsche Developer, Suspended in VW Scandal, Quits for Good

FRANKFURT — The head of development for Porsche has left the automaker seven months after he was suspended for possible involvement in Volkswagen’s emissions cheating scandal, Porsche said Tuesday.

Wolfgang Hatz, 57, a well-known figure in motoring circles, left Porsche at his own request, the company said. Mr. Hatz was suspended in September soon after Volkswagen, which is Porsche’s parent company, admitted rigging diesel engines to evade emissions tests.

Porsche said in a statement Tuesday that an internal investigation had found no evidence that Mr. Hatz shared responsibility for the emissions cheating. But he decided to leave the company in light of the continuing investigation and suspension, Porsche said.

Volkswagen diesel vehicles, as well as some Audi and Porsche models, were programmed to run emissions controls at full capacity only when the cars were being tested. At other times they flouted pollution limits.

Mr. Hatz, the former head of engine and transmission development at Volkswagen, helped develop the motor at the center of the emissions scandal. He was also a critic of the pollution regulations imposed on automakers.

In 2007, shortly after being named head of engine and transmission development at Volkswagen, Mr. Hatz complained at an event in San Francisco that new rules on tailpipe emissions in California were unrealistic.

“I see it as nearly impossible for us,” Mr. Hatz said of a proposed regulation during the event, which was filmed by an auto website.

As recently as February, Oliver Blume, the chief executive of Porsche, said he would like to bring Mr. Hatz back to the company. In a statement Tuesday, Wolfgang Porsche, a member of the family that founded the sports-car maker and the largest shareholder in Volkswagen, praised Mr. Hatz’s “outstanding work” and gave him credit for reviving Porsche’s racing program.

Mr. Hatz had overseen Porsche’s famed development and testing center in Weissach, Germany, since 2011. He was responsible for the introduction of the 918 Spyder, a plug-in hybrid super sports car that can accelerate from zero to 60 miles an hour in less than three seconds.

Mr. Hatz will be succeeded by Michael Steiner, 51, who has held various management positions in Porsche research and development, most recently as head of quality.

Maria Sharapova after winning the Porsche Grand Prix in Germany in 2012. Porsche, Nike and TAG Heuer quickly distanced themselves from her after she failed a drug test at the Australian Open.
