5 Ways You Can Wear And Style Your Dark Jeans

dark jeans

Dark jeans are some of the most versatile possession any man or woman can have, especially if you know what to wear them with and how to wear them. Dark denims are unmistakable fashion items that everyone should have as they can fit into almost all casual and semi-casual events.
If you’re still wondering how best you can wear and style your dark denims, here are five ways that you can never go wrong with them.
The Casual Friday Look
Another good place to wear your navy blue or dark jeans to is casual Fridays. Wearing dark denims with a navy- or red-and-white Gingham shirt, casual suede desert boots, and brown leather can help to create a balance between casual and formal, which is a smart way to keep things conservative in your workplace.


Wearing different shades of blue outfits is also a smart way to go as they can blend in well together. Navy blue jeans with a pale blue shirt and medium-blue outer layer will give you a smart look.
During The Hot Season
The fact that you decide to rock your dark denims in the hot season doesn’t mean you have to be worried. It can pair nicely with a crisp white T-shirt and simple white plimsolls. You can flash part of your ankle by pin-rolling your jeans.

If you’d be going to the beach, choose to wear a white linen shirt and loafers with them. Pin-roll your dark jeans to the ankle, to help you have the classic summer look.
To The Bar
Going to hang out at the bar with your friends means you have to look as casual as possible. That however doesn’t mean you have to dust-off a decade-old T-shirt and those baggy, daggy dad jeans that you’ve not worn in ages.

You can look relaxed with a plaid flannel shirt that comes in a number of different color combinations or choose to wear a simpler light chambray shirt which can be accompanied by an oversized pull-over, field jacket, or thick knit jumper in neutral colors. Wear a smart pair of boots or more laid-back sneakers to complete your appearance.
Date Nights
If you’re going out on a date with your partner, one of the coolest fashion statements is to go for a smart-casual appearance. This can be achieved with a slim, smart, dark denim that can be worn along with a tee shirt.

You can choose to pair your jeans with a crisp white Oxford shirt, which should also be a wardrobe staple for you or in the alternative have a soft pink or blue button-down. Wearing a blazer over the top, and a brogue boot or braided belt can help you add some texture to your total appearance.
As A Street wear
Wearing your dark jeans along with a graphic tee and statement sneakers, a raglan tee and Vans for that skateboarder look, a grungy bomber with heavy boots, or a white tee and a leather jacket for that vintage vibe are some of the few ways you can rock your dark denims as a street wear. The beauty of the versatile navy jean can be seen in how well it combines with whatever street style you look best in.


Melaye tells the public why he refuses to accept INECS service


Senator Dino Melaye, on Monday gave reasons why he has refused to accept the service of petition from the electoral commission, INEC, for his recall.
Mr. Melaye stated this while briefing journalists in Abuja on Monday.
He was accused of representing the constituency at the senate poorly.On Monday, Mr. Melaye told journalists that accepting any “purported’’ petition from INEC would amount to breaching the 1999 Constitution (Amended).
According to him, the window provided by the Constitution for the service of recall petition had elapsed and “I would not be seen to be breaching the law.”

The senator’s stance comes despite the fact that it was his suit filed at the court that eventually led to INEC suspending the recall process, before the Federal High Court eventually asked that it continues.

“It is clear that by the provisions of Section 69(b) of the 1999 Constitution, INEC must act on the petition purportedly presented to it on June 23, 2017 by conducting a referendum within 90 days of receipt of the petition,” Mr. Melaye argued.

“The 90 days period as provided for in the Constitution for conducting the referendum after our verification, elapsed on Sept. 23, 2017.

“The time having elapsed, I cannot under the circumstance, aid and abet INEC to further infringe on the provisions of the Constitution, which I have sworn to defend,’’ he said.

The lawmaker pointed out that his position on the matter had been affirmed by various Supreme Court decisions.

He cited the case of Nyako v. Adamawa State House of Assembly and others (2016) and All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) v. Alhaji Mohammed Goni and others.

He said that from the apex court’s decision, the Constitution could not be amended by “mere’’ pronouncement of a court of law.

Mr. Melaye added that it was only right to respect the provision of the Constitution.

“The trial judge failed to respect that provision of the Constitution when he elongated 90 days provided for, saying the process was paused when the interim order for maintenance of status quo was granted.

“I am not evading the service of any purported petition on me by INEC.

“As a matter of fact, my lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, served INEC a notice to produce the said petition in the course of hearing of this matter but INEC failed to produce the petition in court.

“I have also instructed my lawyer to challenge the jurisdiction of the trial court to entertain an ex parte application for the service on me.

“In view of the lapse of time, I shall no longer be in a haste to take any further step in this matter so as not to aid any party, especially INEC in breaching the Constitution,’’ he said.

Melaye said that having asked his lawyer to file appeal against the judgment by the court, he was aware that the matter was subjudice.

He added that it was in view of that that he chose to speak only on the “sociology-political aspect’’ of the matter.

Never you peel this fruits and vegetable before eating

Eating healthy takes a little bit of extra work. When it comes to fruits and vegetables however, a lot of us believe we are taking in a lot of nutrients just by eating them. A lot of the nutrients of a number of fruits and vegetables are contained in the edible skin that covers them.
The sometimes very colorful skin peels that cover some fruits and vegetables alike usually contain a very high amount of concentrate minerals, antioxidants and vitamins. . Some fruits however have some unique nutrients in their skin which is usually independent of the fruit or vegetable itself.
Check out the six fruits and vegetables with some amazing skin attributes.
Garden Egg
Also known as Eggplant, the skin of the garden egg has high levels of the antioxidant nasunin in its skin. Not much research has been done on this compound but a research published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health suggests that it could play a significant role in the maintenance of healthy brain tissues. More so, nasunin belongs to a family of antioxidants known as flavonoids which when consumed in high quantities can help to stop you from adding weight over time.
Carrots
Carrots contain a high level of polyacetylenes. They are thought to have anti fungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects. This chemical is also of significant interest as researchers are actively studying its ability to kill human cancer cells. Polyacetylenes are mostly concentrated below the skin of carrots so it’s best you scrub off only a thin peel of the skin or you leave them on as you eat. More so, some species of carrots have more benefits than others. Purple carrots have been known to have high levels of anthocyanins, an antioxidant compound which gives them their exceptional color.

Peeling off the skin of an apple fruit will not reduce the amount of vitamin C available to you but you will lose out on another important nutrient – pectin. Pectin helps to slow digestion, which reduces your cravings for snacks to a minimum. Pectin is also a soluble fiber which plays a significant role in regulating and lowering low density lipoprotein or “bad” cholesterol and blood sugar.

Potatoes
The skin of potatoes have some of the highest levels of iron, fiber and fol ate in comparison with potato flesh. Pigmented purple potatoes even have more beneficial uses than regular ones especially it’s skin. Researchers at the University of Maine estimate that the skin of these potatoes may contain as much as 10 times the antioxidants present in the flesh.
Grapes
Grapes require a lot of pesticides during their growth process if they are to survive but that is not to say you should completely peel off the skin. The skins of red grapes contain resveratrol, a phytochemical which is highly beneficial to the brain and heart. Research also shows that it can slow down the growth of cancer in cellular and animal studies.
Cucumbers
When a cucumber is peeled, minerals and vitamins including magnesium, phosphorous, calcium, potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin K consumed from the fruit are lower as opposed to when the full, unpeeled fruit is eaten. Moreover, almost all of the fiber from the cucumber fruit comes from the skin as most of the insides of the fruit is water.

Kaduna commence open governance


The Kaduna State Government has commenced the implementation of the Open Governance Partnership, OGP, of the federal government aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability and citizen participation in governance.

The state’s Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Muhammad Abdullahi, said this in Kaduna on Monday at the inauguration of the partnership in the state.

Mr. Abdullahi said that the state subscribed to the OGP to principally improve fiscal transparency, anti-corruption, access to information and citizens engagement and empowerment.


According to him, the step will improve the state’s ability to attract foreign investment and enhance access to additional development funds.

“OGP was earlier launched by eight countries namely Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines, Mexico, Norway, South Africa, UK and the U.S.

“Nigeria subscribed to OGP on May 11, 2016, making it the 70th country to join.

“Kaduna State is, therefore, the first in the country to subscribe to the OGP, because of the willingness of the government to be open and transparent.”

Mr. Abdullahi said that the state subscribed to seven of the 14 commitment areas for implementation.

All The Ways You Can Freeze And Use Your Overripe Bananas

Bananas are everyone’s favourite fruit but overripe ones are the fear of everyone since they are more or less seen as waste, which we all hate. This fruit is the perfect self-contained healthy snack, and they can be incorporated into different meals including cereals and smoothies.
This perhaps is why a lot of us try to eat them as fast as we can but there are times when some become overripe, spotted, mushy and unappealing. But instead of throwing them away, there are a number of things you can do with overripe bananas. Keep them in the freezer, and thaw them later on to make any of these wonderful recipes.
Making Smoothies
The way you prepare bananas for your smoothies differ with each recipe but if you have overripe bananas, you sure can use them instead of allowing them go to waste. If you’re thinking of making ice cream or smoothies, you can cut your overripe fruits into small bits first except you have a very str
ong blender. Peel off the skin of the bananas and slice to your desired size.
Place the slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, and freeze for about two hours. Transfer the frozen slices to a resealable plastic bag, then label, and date it. When next you’re going to make your smoothie, grab a bag and use your slices as you desire.
Chunky Monkey Pancakes
You can use your overripe fruits to make pancakes. All you need do is mash your bananas before using, but there won’t be a need to mash them before before freezing as you can leave them in larger pieces.


The first thing to do is to start by peeling your bananas, which can make defrosting much easier. Cut the bananas in half or large chunks, and throw them in a resealable plastic bag for later use. You can also use them in making Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins which are easy to blend together with frozen, defrosted banana chunks.
Eating The Whole Banana
If you’re not keen about experimenting in the kitchen, you can simply throw the whole, unpeeled banana directly in the freezer as it comes with its own natural storage container. All you need do is defrost your favourite fruit an hour before eating or baking. Removing the banana from the peel naturally mashes them for your next cooking or baking experiment.

Defrosting your banana whole and unpeeled will help to speed up the mashing process and use them to make Banana Cookies, Crumb Muffins, south cream bread, or banana pancakes.
Mashing To Enjoy
Mashing is a quick and easy way to prepare overripe bananas for freezing, especially if you’re going to use them in recipes that require the use of mashed bananas. All you need do is simply peel and mash the bananas, then scoop the mash into resealable plastic bags that you can store in a freezer.

Squeeze out the extra air, lay the bags on their sides, and freeze them flat. Remember to label the bags with the number of bananas or better yet, the cup measurement. If you choose to make Banana Cake, you will need 1 ½ cups of mashed bananas, Butter Icing, Banana Sorbet and Flavoured Jam.

THE TRUTH ABOUT FEMALE EJACULATION



 ~ 
Recent studies have shown that it does, and is completely natural. Read to find out more.
What is it?
Female ejaculation is the expulsion of fluid in a noticeable amount from the urethra of women during orgasm. It is estimated that between ten percent and forty percent of women are able to ejaculate.

What does it look like?
Female ejaculate can differ in appearance, texture and quantity. It can range from being a clear to a milky liquid, or from feeling watery to feeling sticky. Amounts can range from a teaspoon, to (in some extreme cases) a cup full.


What does female ejaculate consist of?
Ed Belzer, a professor at Dalhousie University found varying amounts of acid phosphotase in female ejaculate. It was previously believed that only males produced this chemical in the prostate gland.


Studies have also revealed consistent results showing reduced concentrations of urea and creatinine in female ejaculate, urine primary components.
Though it is not entirely clear what female ejaculate is made up of, researchers have concluded that it is not purely urine, and that it is not the odorless secretion of the Bartholin gland that helps lubricate the vaginal tract, but a combination of urine, acid phosphotase and other inconsistent chemicals.
These studies have also shown the existence of a prostate-like gland within females, previously thought to be non-existent.
How is female ejaculation achieved?
The percentages of women that do ejaculate do so during orgasm. Gynecological studies have shown that most female ejaculation occurs during sexual stimulation of the 'G-spot'.

As the G-spot is stimulated, it swells and begins a fluid discharge through the urethra.
Clinical studies have also shown that the female response to G-spot stimulation is extremely similar to the male response to prostate stimulation. The first couple of seconds of stimulation introduces a strong urge to urinate, but is quickly replaced with noticeable sexual pleasure.

Chris Attoh Marriage to Damilola Adegbite crashes


 
 Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh and Damilola Adegbite were once Nollywood sweethearts whom a lot of people envied their relationship. Some months ago, news broke out that the couple were separated but Chris tried to debunk it, when he went on IG to celebrate their marriage anniversary, so bloggers calmed down! Fast forward now, in a chat with BellaNaija,
The couple got married February 14th, 2015. Their marriage was barely 2 years before they went their separate ways. Sad!
.
Chris has now confirmed they are no longer together
He said;

"I believe throughout our marriage, It has probably been one of the most challenging things we have ever done, however, the key word is balance. At times when we both had to work, our parents would be there to hold the fort. God bless family because they were and still are very supportive.

However, since the divorce, we are obviously now reworking things to create a new balance between work, spending time with and raising our son. Damilola is a wonderful woman and an amazing mother. Despite our differences, she and I will always be friends. So more than anything, we will find ways to continue to make sure that Brian can still have a balanced upbringing filled with love and support. Both our families have been and are still very supportive in helping us take care of our son Brian when we can’t be there due to work."
