JESUS!!!” and with a speed of about 100km/H or there about, we rammed right into the back of this truck. God being so merciful and wonderful, we got of with very minor injuries. How the tail of the truck was stopped from causing major damage on us is just God’s doing.

Khafi Kareem, a Metropolitan Police officer, is currently appearing on Big Brother Naija despite being refused permission by her bosses.

According to The Sun, Scotland Yard said it had not granted her request to appear on the programme and that an internal investigation would be carried out.

The 29-year-old joined the show, where she has romped three times with fellow contestant, Ekpata Gedoni, 31. Their romance has viewers gripped and one of her colleagues was quoted as saying: “She’s a serving British police officer — it’s outrageous.

She asked permission to go on the show but, when her request was refused, she went anyway. Other officers working with her are furious that she can just disobey orders and tarnish the reputation of the force.”

A spokesman said: “A PC, attached to the Met’s transformation command, requested permission to take part in a reality television entertainment show in Nigeria. Permission was not given.

“The Met is aware that the officer has since appeared on the show without authority.

“The Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed and will be carrying out an investigation into the circumstances.

Taking a break is a chance for people in a relationship to explore what not being together feels like, take time for personal growth, and look at their relationship from a distance.

Taking a break in relationship most at times don’t work out as intended. When you have get into a fight with your partner you make up and move on but when the fight extends to weeks and months, would you take a break?

According to Ann Rosen Spector, PhD, a clinical psychologist in Philadelphia, one of the best ways to repair a relationship is to put some distance between you and your partner by taking a break. “Separation can be very healing,” she says. “When a situation is complicated, having distance to get clarity is important.” And a break is the way to get it.

However before considering on taking a break, you should ask yourself the following questions:

1. Are you proposing a break to avoid your partner’s or your own negative behavior?

2. Are you proposing a break because you’re afraid of breaking up with them?

3. Are you proposing break because you don’t know how to communicate with your partner?

4. After the break what next?

There are three reasons why people go on a break:

1. You want to see if your partner will miss you during your time apart.

2. You want to see if you’re missing a connection that you can find other people.

3. You need space in your relationship.

For many people, sex talk might not come naturally. However, your mouth is one of the best ways of giving pleasure in the bedroom… through communication of course.

Dirty talk with your man keeps him thinking about you. In fact, dirty talk has been scientifically proven to increase sexual pleasure and you can’t argue with science! A common misconception that makes sex talk so daunting is that it’s just screaming profanities at the top of your lungs, as porn insists. Talking dirty also builds sexual tension in a relationship.

However, there are different levels of dirty talk, you can even start off whispering something into your partner’s ear, it’s just as effective and sexy. One thing you should know is what you say doesn’t arouse them, it is how you actually say it.

With that been said lets move on to the main business

1. Be natural:  There’s no exact script and phrasing that works for everyone. Just be yourself and say what comes naturally to you. You don’t want it to sound forced or fake.

2. Be confident: Use an assertive voice when you’re talking to your partner, to show you’re confident. This will make him feel like you really mean what you’re saying. Expressing yourself is very sexy to your partner. However, if you’re feeling a bit shy, start by whispering things into your partner’s ear as it can be just as effective.

3. Don’t fake it: The last thing you want to try to do is try to put on a big show and say a lot of things you don’t believe.

4. Guessing games: Phrases like, ‘I’ve got a surprise for you tonight’, will make your partner’s imagination run wild with excitement and keep them wanting more. You don’t watch a film and skip right to the last two minutes. The best bit is the suspense and guessing what the ending will be. Use the power of anticipation to your advantage.
