Singer Simi has been rumoured to have had one or two things with singers, Adekunle Gold and Falz at some point. The popular singer, Simi, has said Nigerian men “are not romantic.”
According to her “Nigerian men are not romantic. I think Nigerian men do not think they have to be romantic. I am not saying this to bash men but I think no one pushes Nigerian men to fight for anything so they have this sense of entitlement. I was watching a Nigerian movie one day and there was this unfaithful Nigerian man who left his wife for another woman. At the end of the day, the other woman left him and he retraced his steps to his initial wife. The lady’s mother actually told her to kneel in front of the man and that bothered me a lot even though I knew it was a movie. That is the way things are.
“A lot of men grow up in this country feeling entitled to certain things and they believe that they don’t have to work for anything. This has been the case for generations and a lot of our mothers were unhappy because the society expected them to stay in the relationship. I am not saying it is the right thing for people to leave their relationships but a man needs to fight for what he wants so he can value it. I think the problem is because a lot of Nigerian men feel self-entitled and I blame our culture and our mothers. Most mothers are the problem because when something happens, they are quick to advise the daughter and wives, they don’t tell the men that their actions are wrong. So if a man feels that he does not have to fight to keep the relationship, he would not.”
The singer who hinted that she is currently in a relationship described the kind of lover she is. “To describe myself as a lover, I would say that I am a loyal lover. When I am in a relationship, I am all in and I put everything into it. I can only quit a relationship if the person betrays my trust because, to me, trust is everything. Trust is a big foundation for love. If I don’t trust a person, it would be hard to be with the person. If I date someone, I expect that you know what you have to offer. I believe that whatever I do for the person, I should get the same in return. I don’t like people lying to me,” the singer said.
The singer is currently in cloud nine because of the feedback she has been receiving over her sophomore album, ‘Simisola.’ It was a night of ecstasy for the soulful singer at her album launch party which took place at The Lekki Coliseum.
It is her sophomore album and her debut album since joining her record label X3M Music three years ago. Before now, she had released a plethora of singles such as ‘Tiff,’ ‘Jamb Question,’ ‘Outta My Head,’ which were well received and enjoyed massive airplay.

Former Democrats Presidential candidate in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton has called for the elimination of the long standing election guiding policy of “Electoral College”.
The former Secretary of State who through her new book “What Happened” highlighted the elements of her defeat during the election is adding the policy to one of the things which cost her the Presidential ambition. Mrs Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, but her opponent, the incumbent President Trump won the Electoral College which is the defining basis for victory.
But the Constitution dictates that electors representing each state must cast ballots for president. The electors are assigned based on the popular vote of each state.
While speaking to CNN, she said, “I think it needs to be eliminated. I’d like to see us move beyond it, yes.”
Though she is reeling from her defeat during the elections, Clinton is one of many who has called for the abolishment of the system. In the wake of Trump’s victory, former Democrats Senator representing California, Sen. Barbara Boxer proposed a bill to abolish the system before he retired.

According to a report by Today, United States President Donald Trump has attacked Hillary Clinton, his opponent in the 2016 presidential election over her new book and her recent public appearances where she made comments about the election.
Trump in a couple of tweets described Clinton as a “crooked” person who blames everybody and everything except herself, for her election loss.
The president who tweeted shortly before 11:00p.m. on Wednesday said Clinton lost the election debates and lost her direction.
The president followed that up with a second tweet a few minutes later.
“The ‘deplorables’ came back to haunt Hillary. They expressed their feelings loud and clear. She spent big money but, in the end, had no game!” the president wrote.
Earlier Wednesday, Clinton reacted to remarks by White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, after Sanders recently appeared on ABC’s “The View” and described Clinton’s book tour – promoting “What Happened,” Clinton’s account of her election defeat – as “sad.”
“I honestly don’t pay much attention to what she says,” Clinton said of Sanders.
Clinton’s publicity tour, coinciding with the book’s release, has included appearances on TV and news shows, and at bookstore signing events.
According to the Washington Examiner, readers have not been impressed with the book, calling it “complete garbage,” an “overrated piece of fiction,” and “hastily slapped together.”

Just like love, spring is all around us. Everything is fresh and new, which means it’s time to rethink your skincare routine.
As the temperatures rise, so does the humidity, which means we might not spend as much time in hot water, but we’ll still be in the water (time for fun in the sun, next to the pool).
All these factors affect our skin’s protective outer layer, the acid mantle, which can lead to an outbreak.
1. Always use pH 5.5 balanced products (This is a year-round tip.)
Your skin’s acid mantle is slightly acidic, so when you use soap-based products, you disrupt your natural balance, harming your acid mantle. So when you take a product off the shelf, always check that it’s balanced at a pH of 5.5.
2. Sunscreen – never leave home without it
Loving the sun might be in our blood as South Africans, but that doesn’t mean you can skip a sunscreen application.
3. Change your moisturiser
During the winter months, the air is much drier; hence, we had to add extra moisture via moisturisers. But as winter turns to spring the humidity levels rise, which means using a rich moisturiser can cause acne.
4. Reassess your makeup
We’re all different and we all react to things differently, so pay attention to how your skin reacts to your foundation. If it looks like your skin is becoming oily, change to a lighter or mattifying product.
5. Twice as nice
Washing your face once, especially in the warmer months, doesn’t rid all the dirt and unwanted oils. So, remember to use a deep-cleansing toner after you’ve washed your face.
6. Water!
Stay hydrated. Not only will your skin love you for it, so will your body. By drinking enough water, you can ensure your skin’s elasticity and boost your immune system.
If you are looking for a convenient way to ensure you have the essential skincare products you need for spring, Sebamed is here. The Sebamed Clear Face Value Packcontains a cleansing bar, deep cleaning toner, mattifying cream and an anti-pimple gel (just for those extra stubborn pimples) all in one value pack. All Sebamed products are perfectly balanced at pH 5.5 to provide the optimum care for your acid mantle.
