Is 'once a cheat, always a cheat' really true for all men?

Below is an article I found on Traceycox.com. I want you guys to read her opinion on forgiving infidelity and tell us what you think...
Is the ‘once a cheat, always a cheat’ belief true? If your partner’s cheated once, are you wrong to trust them again? The answer isn’t as clear cut as it first appears because people cheat for different reasons.
If you’re trying to decide whether your partner deserves another chance, a more helpful question to ask is why did they cheat in the first place.
Some people cheat to get their partner’s attention. If their partner’s a workaholic or unavailable to them, being caught with someone else is a way of saying ‘Hey, if you love me, pay attention to me!'.
‘Payback cheating’ is also common. If you’ve cheated in the past or done something else to hurt your partner, they might retaliate to get even.

Private jet owners barred from govt terminal

 
Barely three months after unveiling a new policy for general aviation, which barred private jet owners from carrying their friends and associates, the Federal Government has stopped private jet owners and chartered jet operators from using the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos for foreign travels.  

The order, which has taken effect, was conveyed through a memo from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to the heads of all the security agencies operating at the MMIA. 

Airport sources said some private jet owners and chartered jet operators had stopped travelling through the international wing of the MMIA. 

As a result, private jet owners and chartered jet passengers travelling out and coming into the country will not go through the required security screening, including that of the Immigration, Customs, narcotics control and the State Security Service at the MMIA. (Read the rest on  Punch)

Beverly Osu's mum is so proud of her, best friend Charity Owoh says

Charity Owoh is Beverly's best friend and confidant. Below is what she told Encomium magazine about how Beverly's mum is proud and supports everything she does in the reality series.
"Bev and her mum are best friends. Her mum just called me now, she's our best friend. She's like the third person in our circle because whatever we do we tell her. If you watch the show you will see that there are three people she calls every time, Charity, Denrele, and mummy Suzy. Their relationship is very tight. Before Bev dates anybody, she tells her mom. (About Bev and Angelo's relationship/sex) She knows. She has seen everything. There's the good and bad, of course she's a mother so she would feel the way mother's would feel but she's very proud of her daughter and says she's a queen. She's already redecorating her room, so she would welcome her back like any mother would.
(Bev and mum in the above pic). Charity also talks about Beverly's relationship with 2shotz. Yep, she mentioned his name. See it after the cut...

Tonto Dikeh talks about her suicide attempt

Tonto Dikeh tried to commit suicide a few weeks back. Unbelievable, right? I heard everything that happened on that fateful day but decided not to write about it because it's such a sensitive issue. She really wanted to end her own life but thank God for the intervention of good friends.

If I write details of what happened that day, none of you will believe it. I was in shock myself. All I will say now is please take it easy on her with your comments and attacks on social media.

The only reason I'm writing about it now is because she kinda shared what happened to her on her instagram page but most people didn't get what she was trying to say. Also, like Tonto said, suicide is never the solution to any problem. This is for those who are contemplating it. See the photo Tonto shared on Instagram and what she wrote after the cut...

Transgender teen, Dwayne Jones, murdered by mob in Jamaica

Jamaica is a third world country too, right? What a senseless killing. Read the story of how this 16 year old transgender teen (pictured above) was beaten, stabbed and shot dead by a mob in Jamaica

From Associated Press
Dwayne Jones was relentlessly teased in high school for being effeminate until he dropped out. His father not only kicked him out of the house at the age of 14 but also helped jeering neighbors push the youngster from the rough Jamaican slum where he grew up.
By age 16, the teenager was dead - beaten, stabbed, shot and run over by a car when he showed up at a street party dressed as a woman. His mistake: confiding to a friend that he was attending a "straight" party as a girl for the first time in his life.

The school that reeks of death

Things happen in this country. Remember the school massacre that happened in Yobe state about a month back? Now we know some of what happened. We also now know the names of some of the students that were attacked.

The Nigerian Telegraph sent someone to the school to look. According to them, the place is now a ghost town, and people are scared to talk about what happened. The saddest part was looking at the pictures of the school at the end of the story.

According to the friends of the late Bayelsa state indigene, while at the party, he met a white girl he knew from school and started chatting with her. The white girl's boyfriend, who was also at the party, got jealous and confronted Stanley, which led to serious argument between the two men.

UNIBEN - 1999

When the posters came up on the hostel walls that there was going to be a Talent hunt show coming up which was organised by Femi Akinwunmi, I quickly registered for it as a rapper. The star price was a CD player..my dream. I imagined being able to replace our old cassette player and put on a CD like the rest of the boys.

I practised my lines and waited for d-day. 3 days to the event, I woke up with fever and to find my body covered with little sores...I had chicken pox. I used calamine lotion like my life depended on it, but they only seemed to increase by the day.
