Recent development in connection with the just concluded general elections in Rivers State has raised more questions than answered.

Do You Know What your birthday says about your sex life?

I have not really believed in Horoscope and Astrological predictions, but an astrologer Suzie Kerr Wright has come up with this real story behind what your birth month has to do with how you like to have sex.

January: January-born people are going to be a little more conservative when it comes to actually hooking up with someone. But once they like someone, they'll be very persistent in making it happen. Those born in January have one of the kinkiest signs. You wouldn't think so, but they're right up there with November birthdays in terms of being freaky in bed.

February: February-born people are adventurers. They have a lot of passion, but you have to really work for it. Their heads are focused in causes and the bigger picture, but you really have to try to get them to connect emotionally. It's not that you can't connect emotionally, but you better be prepared to work for it.

9 annoying things about shorts and how to fix them

There's no graceful way to pick your shorts out of your crotch. Or is there?

Here are 9 annoying problems you face wearing shorts and you can also learn how to fix them.

1. They fit great in the morning, but by the end of the day, they're saggy and draggy.

Solution: Shorts with stretch will hold their shape much better than those without.

2. They leave your arse hanging out in the back.
Solution: Your best bet is to either choose a longer style or to go up a size so the shorts fit across your bum and then have them taken in at the waist by a tailor. That way they won't be squishing your arse down and out of the leg holes.
