7 Signs Shows That You Are Not Ready For Serious Relationship

 
It doesn’t mean you haven’t met someone you like, there may be an initial attraction between you…just enough to start a fire. But it’s advisable to do an inner soul searching and decide if you are ready to be in a relationship.
Some factors may be restraining you from making any commitment whatsoever, so you should always watch out for the signs and try not ignore them to avoid making mistakes.
Here are some top signs you aren’t ready for a relationship:
1. You are not over your ex:
It’s one red flag that you aren’t ready to start a next relationship. You simply cannot use your next partner to get over your ex. You can go all emotional and cry about it but make sure you aren’t hung up on them before starting a relationship with someone else
2. You are desperate: 
This is simply a no-no if you are getting into a relationship for this reason. Desperation brings out the worst in you and may result in you hurting yourself. Contention is a major key to happiness.
3. You have trust issues: 
As much as you shouldn’t place your trust in anyone, don’t get into any relationship till you’ve learnt to trust yourself.

4. You are not happy:
You can’t give what you don’t have. You can’t make your new partner happy if you happiness doesn’t dwell within you.You can only get the temporary happiness it brings but the rest times you have to learn how feel good by yourself.
5. You love too much drama: 
If you love too much attention and unnecessary drama that comes with it, then you really shouldn’t be in a relationship. You should learn to let go of your drama.
6. You are unsure of yourself:
Being unsure is certainly a red flag if you intend getting into a relationship soon. If you have more cons than pros while listing out reasons why you should make official your relationship with someone you like after a few official and unofficial dates, then you should consider taking more time for yourself.
7. Your work-life balance isn’t stable:
 You know you haven’t gotten a balance between jobs, you’re still trying to find your feet between your 8 to 5 job and creating quality time for yourself. You might want to take a few steps back away from the dating scene. The person you are starting a relationship with may not understand what are trying to do and this could create a lot of problems for you.

Identical Twins: Having Identical Twin Babies With this Odds



Identical Twins
The odds of having twins are far greater than for any other type of multiple births. Around 90% of all multiples are made up of twins; the remaining 10% is with triplets, quadruplets and very occasionally quintuplets and more. In recent years there has been a big increase in the numbers of twins being born. This is due to advancing maternal age, assisted reproduction technology, as well as the use of fertility drugs. Importantly, better neonatal care has meant that premature twins have a better chance of survival than ever before.
There are two types of twins – identical or monozygotic (one egg), and non-identical or dizygotic (two eggs) twins. Other names for identical twins are non-fraternal twins, and non-identical twins are sometimes called fraternal twins.
It is thought that twin pregnancies are far more common than we are aware of – perhaps as many as 5% of all pregnancies at 12 weeks involve a twin. Though not all will continue to develop as they need to in order to form two babies. Most commonly, this is thought to be due to a major interruption occurring with healthy cell maturation and division.
How do identical twins happen?
Identical twins form when one egg has been fertilised by one sperm and the zygote splits into two. This happens at the very earliest stage of development, when the zygote is no more than a cluster of a few cells. Dividing this early in conception means that each baby has exactly the same genetic information as the other.
Identical twins can also occur when one a woman has undergone fertility assistance and has had one fertilised egg returned to her uterus. If this egg then splits into two, an identical twin pregnancy can result.
Identical twins are not dependent on race, country or ethnicity. The odds of having identical twins are the same for every couple, in every pregnancy, wherever they live in the world.
Around one in every three sets of twins born is identical, and the remaining 2/3 is of the non-identical variety.

What increases the odds of having identical twins?
Luck needs to be on your side. Identical twins do not run in families and can happen for any couple with any pregnancy. Non-identical twins are influenced by genetics; women whose mothers or grandmothers had non-identical twins do have more chance of having non-identical twins themselves. But identical twins are just random.
Some families do seem to have a higher than average number of identical twins. Though this can only be contributed to luck, coincidence and chance rather than any familial genetic tendency.
How do non-identical twins happen?
Non-identical twins are uniquely separate individuals who just happen to be gestating at the same time and place as each other. Non-identical twins form from two completely separate eggs which are fertilised by two completely separate sperm. These fraternal twins are no more alike than any other siblings in a family with the same biological mother and father.
Because identical twins share the same genes, they are always the same gender. But non-identical twins may be the same gender or the opposite because they only share 50% of the same genetic coding.
Some people still believe that the incidence of having twins skips a generation but this is not true.
What increases the odds of having non-identical twins?
 

Advancing maternal age. Women who are aged in their 30’s and 40’s have significantly higher chances of conceiving with twins. Younger women, especially those aged in their 20’s, do not have as much chance.
Having assisted reproductive technology, in particular taking medication which increases ovulation. This makes perfect sense because the more eggs which are supported towards maturity each month, and which are then released, means the more that are available to be fertilised.
The more pregnancies a woman has already had, the higher her chances of conceiving with non-identical twins.If a woman is a fraternal-non-identical twin herself, 
if she has siblings who are fraternal twins or her mother/grandmother had fraternal twins, then she is more likely to as well.
Race – Black African women are more likely to have twins than women from any other ethnic descent.
What causes the fertilised egg to separate into two?
The exact reason why this happens is still a mystery. Over the years there has been a lot of research and time invested into finding out why some zygotes split into two and others don’t. But the truth is we still do not know why.
In reality, the splitting of one fertilised egg is a malformation of the natural processes of conception.
When are identical twins actually formed?
Though all identical twins are formed very early in pregnancy, there is some variation in exactly how early the fertilised egg splits into two. This can happen at the two cell stage on Day 2, the early blastocyst stage on Day 4, or in the late blastocyst stage on Day 6. The stage when the egg splits into two will determine where the fertilised eggs will implant in the uterine wall. Once the embryo gets to the 8 cells stage the foetal DNAtakes over.
The stage at which the egg splits will also determine if the babies have their own amniotic membranes and placenta or if they share. Essentially, the earlier the egg splits, the more independent each twin will be by having their own amnion, chorion and placenta.
Early splitting also means that the twins are perhaps less identical than those who separate at the late blastocyst stage. Around a quarter of all identical twins are said to be mirror images of each other. This means that the left side of one twin exactly matches the right side of the other. How amazing is that!
Although identical twins share the sameDNA and genetic coding, they are still unique little individuals. Small differences separate them and although at birth they can appear like little clones of each other, they are far from it. As identical twins grow, their unique qualities (particularly in relation to their personalities) become more apparent. The environment in which they are raised as well as their own personalities help to shape the adults they will become. This is exactly the same as any other baby born the world over.
How will I know if I’ve conceived with twins?
Because the splitting of the zygote occurs so early in pregnancy, mothers are not initially aware they have conceived with twins. It’s not until twins may be suspected because of the intensity of pregnancy symptoms, or if they have been diagnosed through ultrasound, that a couple may know they are expecting twins.
Is it obvious at birth that twins are identical?
Even at birth it can be difficult to be sure if twins are identical or non-identical. Identical twins can still be born with their own set of membranes and this is not a marker for them to be non-identical. It’s not always clear simply by looking or examining the twins to know if they are identical or not.
The only way to be 100% sure is to do DNAtesting on each twin and see what genetic information they share. This can be done in the early neonatal period by taking a swab of tissue from inside each baby’s cheek. This is painless and non-invasive.
The other way to check is to take a blood test and do blood grouping. Identical twins will share the same genetic information so the same genetic markers can be identified. Whereas non-identical twins can be very different; much the same as any other siblings with the same parents. They share around half the same genetic information and traits with each other.

What are the risks of having identical twins?

  • If the identical twins share a placenta they are at a higher risk of having twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. This often results in one twin gaining more nourishment than the other, and having a higher birth weight as a result.
  • Umbilical cord entanglement and compression if the twins share an amniotic sac. Purely because of the crowded conditions which occur in the mother’s uterus.
    With identical and non-identical twins, there is an increased risk of pregnancy and birth complications. There is also an increased likelihood of prematurity and associated problems.

Criminal Suspect: The NAPTIP Have Started to Investigate Davido About Child Abduction Case




The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking In Persons (NAPTIP) has said they have started investigations into Davido’s Abduction case. While speaking with a Punch Correspondent who had called in to know how far the agency had gone, the Lagos State Zonal Commander of the agency, Mr. Joseph Famakin, said investigations into the matter had commenced and both parties have been invited. However, he noted that, the Agency can only carry out its duties if the other party involved (the Adelekes) honour their invitation. His words....
“The case was reported to us on Wednesday and we have already commenced investigations. That is the only thing I can say for now. We are known for doing a diligent job irrespective of who is involved.
“For now, I cannot say anything about the case because we have just sent out invitations to the parties involved. I have neither seen nor interviewed any of them so for now I cannot really say much. All I can say is that we have commenced a full scale investigation into the matter after we received the petition on Wednesday evening.
“It is when we listen to all parties involved that we would establish if there was a case of human trafficking or not. There have been no facts presented to me other than the petition I received. The people who presented the petition would make a statement, likewise the other party involved then we would be able to come to an objective conclusion. We cannot presuppose.
“I cannot assume what would happen if they refuse to honour our invitation but when we get to the bridge, we would cross it. When we start the investigation, you would be informed but at this stage, we have just received the petition and we just commenced,” he said.

WizKid: Nigerian Popstar, WizKid Dashes Out One Million Naira To His Fans At a performance




He promised to give out a million Naira at his concert and he didn't fail to deliver.
Wizkid who performed in a special concert held at Oriental Hotel on Tuesday, December 29, 2015 in Lagos, thrilled fans with a very mature music performance and something 'extra'.
The Nigerian Pop artiste who had earlier announced that he would be dashing out one million Naira to his fans at the gig indeed stayed true to his words as four lucky fans received N250,000 each.
Wizzy asked some fans to recite any of his songs while the soundtrack played in the background.
The StarBoy boss had entertained the crowd with back to back hits when he announced that he would be giving the money out. He called on his bodyguard who threw the money on the stage, exciting fans even the more.

The highlight of the evening had to be when a little boy came up on stage and performed Wizzy's 'Joy' word for word without skipping a beat - the crowd went crazy.
"I just want to say thank you for signing that song, it means a lot to me", Wizkid said as he gave the boy N250K.
There was another fan who didn't even have to sing - all he did was take his shirt off and showed off his huge tattoo displaying Wizkid's face on his chest. Wizkid and the crowd agreed that he too was just as big as any fan could be, as he received N250K. The other two winners were young girls who clearly got the Pop star smiling as they also nailed their renditions.

Trey Songz is a Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter known for hits like "Can't Help but Wait."
Synopsis
Singer-songwriter Trey Songz was born in Virginia on November 28, 1984. In 2003, Songz signed a record deal and received a $100,000 advance. Two years later, he released his first album, I Gotta Make It. The album was a moderate success, selling 395,000 copies and peaking at No. 20 on the Billboardcharts. Since then, he has released Trey Day and Ready, which have both garnered wide acclaim. In addition to making music, Songz founded the Songz for Peace Foundation to help curb youth violence.
Early Life
Singer-songwriter Trey Songz was born Tremaine Aldon Neverson on November 28, 1984, in Petersburg, Virginia, a small town just south of Richmond. When Songz was 7 years old, his mother, April Tucker, married a member of the U.S. Army. The young Songz spent the next seven years traveling around the country, as his stepfather was stationed to different military bases. The family returned to Petersburg when Songz was 14 years old, and he began his freshman year at Petersburg High School soon after. "When I came back, that's when I really found out who I was," the singer once recalled. "Those were the years I basically found Trey Songz. I didn't really get into singing until I came back."
Although Songz's family did not have extra money to spend on music lessons, the radio was constantly playing at home and in the car. His mother once recalled, "He's familiar with the Temptations, Donny Hathaway, Otis Redding, Prince, Michael Jackson, because that's what we were listening to growing up." In his youth, Songz loved singing his favorite songs in the shower, but never imagined he could turn singing into a career.
At his friends' insistence, Songz signed up to sing at the Appomattox Regional Governor's School Talent Show in Petersburg in 1998. His mother showed her support by attending the event, bringing along a 20-person cheering section. She didn't have to worry, though; Songz's performance—his first before a large audience—was a success, a precursor to his future success in the music business.
A year later, at the age of 15, Songz met New Jersey-based music producer Troy Taylor. The pair agreed that Songz should finish high school, so the singer spent his summers in New Jersey working on music with Taylor. To maintain his musical interests during the school year, Songz and some of his friends formed a vocal group called All Night Productions that performed at local parties and events. When Songz graduated from high school, he moved in full-time with Taylor in New Jersey, hoping to make a career in music.
Music Career

In 2003, Songz signed a record deal with Atlantic Records, receiving a $100,000 advance. Two years later, he released his first album, I Gotta Make It. The album was a moderate success, selling 395,000 copies and peaking at No. 20 on the Billboard album charts. Always devoted to his family, Songz used his newfound wealth to fulfill a childhood promise to buy his mother a new home. "When he finally saw it, he ran up and down the stairs like a little kid, because we had never had a house," his mother once recalled. "It's funny, but the only man in my life who has actually done what he said he was gonna do is the one I raised."
In 2007, Songz released his second album, Trey Day, which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard charts. The album featured Songz's first hit single, "Can't Help But Wait," which reached No. 11 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Male Vocal Performance. Then in 2009, hoping to achieve more crossover appeal and national recognition with his third album, Ready, Songz completely reinvented his image and sound. He worked out intensively (developing the chiseled abs and muscular frame he flaunts, shirtless, on the album cover), chopped off his braids, and traded his baggy jeans and sneakers for tailored pants and button-down shirts. Songz also retooled his musical style, ditching the soulful love ballads that marked his early albums in favor of hyper-sexualized, club-ready hip-hop tracks. The makeover proved an enormous success. Ready reached No. 3 on the Billboard album charts and flooded radio airwaves with a whopping six hit singles: "I Need a Girl," "Successful," "LOL Smiley Face," "I Invented Sex," "Say Aah" and "Neighbors Know My Name."
Songz willingly admits that on Ready, he sacrificed originality for commercial success. "The public likes generic more than they like to admit," he says, "so that's what I gave them—I gave them sexual singles and they ate it up." Nevertheless, the album has racked up awards as well as record sales, garnering a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album and winning the 2010 BET Award for Best Male R&B Artist.
Songz acknowledges the pitfalls of fame. "Success can be a dangerous drug," he says. "It definitely changes people, and it can take you to another world, if you allow it to." To combat fame's potential ill effects, Songz gives back to his community and his family. He founded the Songz For Peace Foundation to help curb youth violence by spreading a positive message to young people. He also hopes to have children of his own and to be for them the positive male role model that he never had growing up. "I never really had male influences in my life," he says. "Steady, male influences. And that's what I wanna be for my family. As a musician, I definitely will attain everything that I set out to. I work very hard. But more important to me is that my family is taken care of. I can't wait [to have my own family]. But I got a lot of stuff to do before that."
