File: NLC protesters storm Benue...on Tuesday 

 Members of Nigeria Labour Congress in Imo State on Tuesday protested in Owerri, the state capital, over lingering Industrial action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

The protesting workers who took off from the NLC secretariat in new Owerri marched through the city, causing gridlock, as they proceeded to the government house

They sang solidarity songs and insisted on speaking to the state governor, Hope Uzodiinma.

The governor bridged his convoy, came down, listened to NLC Leaders, and later addressed the protesting workers.

The NLC chairman, Philip Nwansi, who addressed the governor, said that the workers were on a solidarity march in support of ASUU, who had been on strike for five months.

The labour leader reminded the governor that the protest was not against the state government but against the Federal Government that had refused to resolve its differences with the university lecturers.

He said,” This protest is not against the state government. It is against the Federal Government that has refused to resolve its differences with ASUU. We are in solidarity with ASUU. We want the youths who had been roaming the streets for five months to go back to school. Enough is enough.”

The chairman of ASUU at Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Chinedu Ihejirika, and his counterpart from ImoState University in Owerri, Odinakachukwu Ejiogu, flayed the FG for its inability to fulfil its parts of the agreements with ASUU.

Responding, the governor said he would convey their message to the appropriate quarters.

He, therefore, called on the striking lecturers to shift grounds so that the students can go back to the school.

The governor said, ” I am in solidarity with ASUU. The Federal Government can’t do anything against the interest of the Nigerian Students. While you protest, I want to urge ASUU to consider the interest of the students above their own interests.”

The only Relationship Advice you will Ever Need

 The Only Relationship Advice You’ll Ever Need Danstel 24, July 2020  You may already be rolling your eyes at the vast oversimplification of this title… and if you were to go back to read the many articles I’ve written on relationships, you’d know that I don’t think the secret to romantic success can be boiled down to one simple piece of advice. However, if people ask me what is the most important action we can take to improve our relationships and stay in love, I do have an answer, and that is to  just be kind . Yes, the suggestion seems obvious on one hand, but it’s actually really hard for most couples to take at a certain point in their relationship. Many people I’ve talked to resisted the recommendation, responding with statements like “I can’t do that, or “why would I be nice to him/her?” To understand why we have this resistance and why we often find it challenging to simply be kind to our partner, there are three important concepts to consider: Fear of Intimacy  – The reason ma

What's Ruining your Sex Life?

What’s Ruining Your Sex Life? Danstel17,2020 Sexuality invites us to be in the moment, connected to our body, our senses, and to another person. Yet having a “ critical inner voice ” sounding off in our minds during sex is a little like having an extra person in the room critiquing everything from our desirableness to our performance. These critical inner voices take us out of the experience, remove us from our bodies and leave us disconnected from our partner, robbing us of the precious aspects of sexuality. It’s probably no surprise to hear that research has shown that having higher self-esteem and a more positive body image is correlated with increased sexual satisfaction. On the other hand, negative thoughts toward ourselves heighten our stress levels, which can  decrease sexual satisfaction . One recent  study  showed that measures of self-esteem, autonomy, and empathy were positively associated with sexual pleasure, while other  research  has revealed that people with low self-es
