How Can You Be a Christian and Think That!?

People involved in politics tend to be weird. Christians also have a tendency toward oddness. I feel I have a licence to say that as someone who is both of those things.

So I have to confess the prospect of a whole weekend with over 100 people who are both Christians and involved in politics didn't thrill me. I anticipated it would be full of intense discussions and fractious arguments from people in different parties who couldn't understand how someone could be both a Christian and a Tory or a Christian and a leftie.

Why Adamawa State University VC Was Sacked - Commissioner

The Adamawa State Commissioner for Higher Education, Science and Technology, Hon. Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, has given reasons for the sudden sacking of the Vice Chancellor (VC), Adamawa State University (ADSU), Professor Joshua David Shall, on Wednesday, October 4, 2015. He said since the former VC assumed office at the Ivory Tower, over a year ago, the tertiary institution never witnessed peace as it was engulfed in one crisis or the other due to petty squabbles, chaos, lack of sanity and financial misappropriation.

The Commissioner made the revelations in an exclusive interview with Indigo newspaper in Yola. He said “since the former VC became the helmsman at the university, a lot of problems bedevilled the institution. The state government tried to resolve the outstanding issues amicably but failed when I intervened personally.

Six Common Sex Mistakes Guys Make in the Bedroom

In a world where macho-dominated societies are the norm, rather than the exception, both men and women wrongly assume that the success or failure of sex depends primarily on the men. Plenty of women are uncomfortable voicing their needs and wants in the bedroom, while many men believe they know everything there is to know about sexuality and women’s bodies. This process leaves plenty of room for mistakes. These are some of the most common ones guys make when it comes to sex.

1. Sex doesn’t start in the bedroom

According to Dr. Gary Smalley, family counselor and president of the Smalley Relationship Center - “Many men don’t realize it but more than 80 percent of a woman’s need for meaningful touch is non sexual.” To achieve a fulfilling sex life, a woman must feel really connected with her partner and appreciated in all aspects of the relationship. The more a woman trusts her partner and relationship, the more open and free she will be sexually.

Opinion: Bad Sex Has Nothing to do with Feminism

There are many different factors that cause bad sex. But apart from the lack of consent, there is no one particular element that makes sex bad all the time. This is why I completely disagree with Margaret Wente’s recent criticism of casual sex. The idea that sexual desire or satisfaction corresponds strictly with commitment, when it comes to women, is simply false. Any attempt to control sexuality, much like the misguided attempts to control sexual orientation, is a losing battle.

People are as diverse as they are unpredictable. I do not claim greater understanding over why sexual relationships are good or bad. That should be the point. Instead of forcing everybody to be the same and act in the same way, people should be encouraged to make sexual decisions based on what is best for their mental, physical, and emotional well-being. This does not necessarily mean having casual sex, nor does it mean pursuing a committed relationship.
