Long distance relationship: Tips on staying connected with your partner
Turn the sour things into the sweetest by following these seven ways to keep your love relationship alive and strong.
A relationship is like an electric current! And if you are having a long distance relationship, then you need a spark to make your relationship work right. There are many people who discourage long-distance relationships as many people believe that long-distance relationships are never going to work out. Your family members and friends may advise you not to take it too seriously. In case you get your heart broken, things could get complicated and you could get sad and lonely at times.
You always need to put some extra effort into long-distance relationships and this is the reason nobody says it is going to be easy. However, long-distance relationships may be tough but they have their own surprises too.
Do you also have a long distance relationship? If yes, don’t worry because you are not alone. There are many success stories about long-distance relationships on a regular basis. Even the experts think it’s really healthy for a relationship to begin when two people live in different places.
Make your extra distance a key positive point and turn the sour things into the sweetest to keep your love relationship alive and strong.
Here are 7 sweetest ways to stay connected in a long distance relationship:

1. Communicate regularly

Communication is the key to any relationship! Communicate regularly almost every day. Many couples think that they need to compensate by doing more for their long distance relationship, but this is not true. Talking too much can make things worse. You don’t have to communicate 12 hours a day to keep the relationship going. Your call can last for three hours or 15 minutes, depending on how important the topic is.
Keep balanced updates with deeper, less-distracted conversations. It will help you remember that you’re still a couple in love – not just efficient life partners.
Better ask — what’s going on in your heart? Or talk about trips you want to take or what you love about each other. Feel connected to your partner because it is the key to the success of your relationship.
2. Manage your expectations

Long distance relationships are not easy neither that tough. Sometimes you will disagree, irritate, and even hurt each other. But together, you should put an effort to understand and to fix that over the distance.
Expect that you and your partner have to struggle sometimes, and have to deal with negative feelings when they emerge. Expect that your partner struggle experiences will be different from yours. Ultimately, expecting this period to be generally difficult can help you cope and prepare better.
3. Talk about the issues

Don’t delay your frustrations and tricky issues — delay in talking about something important might lead to conflict with your partner.
If you are living apart then it’s important to talk clearly about the issue instead of hiding it. If one or both of you are under serious pressure, then you will be wise to refrain from tackling a tricky relationship issue or something potentially sensitive over the long distance.
But be aware because doing such things too often can lead to unhelpful patterns of repression and conflict avoidance in your relationship.
4. Plan something special for each visit

Every time you meet your partner after a long time, plan something special. It can be getaway weekend or just a simple date night. Plan as per your partner’s likeness. This planning ahead of time will help you to look forward to when it seems like the days are dragging on and he/she has been gone forever.
5. Celebrate every small occasion

Find excuses to celebrate every small occasion instead of waiting for a big occasion. Whether it be the first day of office or Women’s Day. Keep sending flowers or gifts to make your partner feel appreciated during difficult times. By celebrating one another and celebrating your personal things, you will remain focused on each other.
6. Do FaceTime
Having each other on FaceTime will make you feel that you both are really close to each other. Knowing that you are going to have a nice FaceTime with your love will make you excited. It is something you look forward even after a long day of work or school.
7. Do a project together

Aside from daily calls, emails, WhatsApp messages, google hangout and Face Time do something creative. For example, you can start an Instagram account as a project in which you both can work together in your long distance relationship!

We never supported Atiku, says RTEAN President
By Mike Oboh
Executive National President of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, RTEAN, Comrade Eriyo Osakpamwan has debunked claims in the media that the association wrote a letter to Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar assuring him of mass support in the 2019 general elections.
According to Comrade Osakpamwan, reports in an online media that the association’s Secretary General, Alhaji Yusuf Adeniyi wrote a letter to the PDP Presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of mass support during the electioneering campaign in 2018 was a creation of the writer and lacked any element of credibility.
“Neither myself or my Secretary General wrote such a letter, the letter is fabricated, it is a creation of the out gone Lagos State chairman, Musa Mohammed and his cohorts to coin favour from presidency of which they know am a die-hard fan of President Mohammadu Buhari since the days of APP to present day APC.
“It is funny to say the least, I also challenged them, also the online publisher and their sponsors to provide the letter and subject it to forensic analysis.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I have been a loyal follower of President Mohammadu Buhari from the days of All Peoples Party, as the Deputy State Youth leader, to Alliance for Democracy, to Alliance Congress of Nigeria to now All Progressives Congress, were a I also served as Edo state youth leader.
“My story is there for people to confirm as a man who spent his hard earned money to ensured victory for APC in my state and Nigeria.
“Ordinarily, the office of the President is not supposed to join issues with some miscreants hiding under the guise of faction to scandalize the name and the office of the president of RTEAN.
“It is surprising that they engaged the services of online bloggers, which they paid handsomely for propaganda, and fabricate stories. However, we decided to react to some of the misleading and fake information by Musa Mohammed and his cohorts.”
He said it is in public domain that the Zone 7 address they used for the fabricated story, was when the former President, Musa isiwele was still in office.
He said for the avoidance of doubt, the campaign Director General for Atiku , Otunba Gbenga Daniel was still alive for verification if in any letter as president of RTEAN.
Osakpamwan , added that in their myopic manner, they claimed in the said letter that,” I have the support of an APC Chieftain, at this point, they have contradicted themselves.
“It is on record that in the month of February, 2019 I came openly to declared my full support for President Mohammadu Buhari and the National Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole , this further diffused their illegal letter that was dated on the 5th of October, 2018, this can further be proved by both National newspapers and Electronics media.
“In the month of March, 2019, when the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha came to inaugurate our mass transit buses, I made it clear to him that our over 16 million members across the country will vote enmass for President Mohammadu Buhari, which we did accordingly.
“As the Executive National President of RTEAN, I enjoyed the overwhelming support of all the state chapters, including Federal Capital Territory of RTEAN members. Therefore, I enjoy you all to disregard the fake information as fabricated by Musa Mohammed and his cohorts.
“But remembered that Lagos state Exco remained dissolved and Musa Mohammed and his cohorts are free to contest election within the stipulated date.”

CSOs to DSS: Don’t relent in defending Nigeria’s sovereignty
By Mike Oboh
The Conference of Harmonized Civil Society Organisations has urged the Department of State Security Services (DSS) to remain resolute on its stand in defending the nation’s sovereignty.
The CSOs at a rally on Monday in Abuja also paid tribute to other security formations for their diligence in securing lives and property.
Addressing the press on behalf of the 17 CSOs at the Unity Fountain, venue of the rally, the Convener, Save The State Movement (SSM), Comrade Semaka Solomon said the rally was necessary to assuage the barrage of false criticisms trailing the security agencies particularly, the DSS.
He alleged that many notable persons criticising the Department of State Security under the guise of human rights abuses, over what it described as the most legitimate, legal and proactive approach in recent times in defence of the country were sponsored by enemies of the state.
“The security agencies, particularly the DSS have over the last five decades, dedicated to the protection of individuals, institutions, and the institution of state as one indivisible entity. The sovereignty of this nation has been zealously guarded by the department of state security in full complement of other sister agencies.
“This is the basis for our support to the organisation today because as representatives of the masses, our interest is protected by the activities of the department of state security and they must be commended. Nevertheless, our duty as society watch dogs remain sacrosanct as can be reflected in previous instances where we held the agency and other security agencies to account for their actions. We are proud to have overcome compromise. Today we are all united in solidarity only by the cord of national security which is under threat of few individuals.
“Ladies and gentlemen, recall that in the last couple of weeks, a lot of unpatriotic characters have been sponsored by unpatriotic elements in the country to cast spurious allegations against the department of state security, over what described as the most legitimate, legal and proactive approach in recent times in defence of the country.
“One of such instances include: the arrest, detention, and prosecution of certain individuals who have put it on record for several times of their determination and resolve to overthrow a lawfully constituted government using force and other terror related antics. My dear compatriots, this is the highest level of treasonable felony and it behoves on us as Nigerians to rise in defence of our national unity and security once and for all.
“As civil society organisations, we have it on good authority that a certain Mr Omoloye Sowore was particularly given $3M as mobilization to overthrow the legally constituted government of the Nigerian state. We have evidence to this. Nothing can be more treasonable than the betrayal of the entire country for pecuniary gains.
“Those, who in the aftermath of the glaring consequences of such unpardonable offence, whom because of personal interest, are playing the fundamental human rights and political cards need to be educated and this is the basis of this rally; to enlighten Nigerians on the implications of allowing the legal and media blackmail utilised by paid counsels and social media influencers to hoodwink Nigerians,” he said.
