Vlogger Uwanma Odefa is out with a new episode of her vlog and in this episode, she’s talking about how to confirm sexual compatibility without having sex.
She says:
Some of us don’t believe in sex before marriage. Some have vowed to keep the cookie till after walking down the aisle. That’s ok. But you can’t just leave it to chance that you both will be sexually compatible. And they don’t tell you the nitty gritty during pre-marriage counselling. What if you’re not compatible? Like it or not, sex is a vital part of marriage and should be considered with as much gravity as religion, values and other major beliefs.
Without actually going all the way to consummation, here are some ways to confirm you and your partner are sexually compatible without having sex and breaking your oath to celibacy.
Bonang Matheba stays working her magic with new major deals everywhere – book deals, TV show deals and beauty brand deals.
The South African star is the cover girl for Destiny magazine’s June 2017 issue and in the magazine she talks about how she’s changing gears and making exclusive new deals this year.
Destiny mag writes:
Bonang Matheba made a reported seven figures off her first Revlon deal as a global brand ambassador in 2014. So while it’s certainly a big deal to be getting her own Revlon range later this year, “Brand Bonang” is less about money and more about confidence and honesty with which she’s finally sharing her story, in the June issue of DESTINY!

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is on Instagram!
According to the author, she has been tasked by her nieces to open an official Instagram page and with it, she plans on kicking off a project to ‘Wear Nigerian’.
Quite exciting!
She says:
The Nigerian government’s disastrous economic policies have led to a reduction in the value of the naira and therefore in disposable income, a change in values, a disorientation of the middle class, and most of all, to a debilitating sense of uncertainty.
If we are to grasp for a silver lining, then the ‘Buy Nigerian to Grow The Naira’ rhetoric is one.
In that spirit, I recently decided to wear mostly Nigerian brands for my public appearances. (Before, by the way, President Buhari declared ‘Made in Nigeria dress’ days.)
In the past few weeks, I’ve bought more Nigerian brands than I ever have in the past. I’ve discovered new names. I’ve been filled with admiration for the women and men running their businesses despite the many challenges they face. I’m particularly interested in ‘inward-looking’ brands, those for whom dressing Nigerian women is as important as other goals.
I’ve changed quite a few dodgy zippers, been disappointed by some poor quality fabrics, and been impressed by some detail-oriented finishing. Overall, I love the clothes, their cut, their whimsy, their color, their flair, their ability to make me feel like myself. Their makers, from designer to tailor to button-fixer to okada-delivery-person, deserve to be supported.
At the suggestion of my very au fait nieces Chisom and Amaka – who think Aunty is a hilarious luddite dinosaur (and they have a point, sadly) – I am now on Instagram at chimamanda_adichie documenting my ‘Wear Nigerian’ project.

Thhere is a trending topic on Nigerian Twitter today and it has been quite interesting to see the different responses and opinions.
The trending topic is the “obligation” on guys to sort out the transportation of their lady friend whenever she visits. Should it be an obligation?
