Dear LIB readers: At what point should a woman walk away?

This is Mercy Nnamdi, the woman whose husband killed their son and burnt her with hot iron
A LIB reader sent this in as a comment and wanted me to share with the rest of you...
I have been married for just two years with a 14 months old baby. About seven months after I got married my husband slapped me for coming home late. I was pregnant at the time. He slapped me again in December 2011 because of a statement I made to him. Then just last week he slapped me for the third time during an argument. He hasn't been very violent but I'm afraid it will happen one day. Should I be worried? Should I divorce him because he slapped me?

What is wrong with this photo?

 
I heard, don't know how true it is, that he's a graduate of a university in Nigeria. So I ask again, what is wrong with photo? And it has nothing to do with this young man...

Police officer with the money discovered in the car
Christian Onyenora was driving a blue Honda Accord 2003 model on Saturday April 28th when he was involved in an accident around the badagry area of Lagos. When a federal road safety corps unit got to the accident scene to help the injured man, they found N4.09 million in his car. The injured man was first taken  to the badagry police division by the FRSC officials who handed the money to the police, then he was taken to the badagry general hospital to get medical treatment for his injuries.

By Monday April 30th, Christian Onyenora escaped from the hospital before the police could ask him questions about the money. Now they are looking for him on suspicion of robbery.

The only way you'd run away from N4m is if it doesn't belong to you, abi?

About 13 people have so far been killed and over 20 people injured after armed fulani herdsmen invaded six villages in Riyom Local Government area of Plateau State this week.

Sex advice from grandma (Must read!)

A Nerve reader's 84year old grandmother on sexual positions, STDs, and the importance of foreplay.
Written by Alison Denisco.
When I was twenty years old and dating my first serious boyfriend, my grandma Carmela asked my mother point-blank if I was still a virgin. She didn't get an answer, but I came home on my next college break to find the now-infamous Grandma Sex Letter patiently awaiting my arrival, the grandmotherly cursive writing on the back of a newsletter from her senior housing facility belying its scandalous nature. What follows is explicit yet touching advice on sex and love from my eighty-six-year-old grandma. 
Continue to read the letter. You will learn a lot :-)

Nigeria is on fire - TY Danjuma

General T.Y Danjuma is former minister of defense and below is a statement he made yesterday at the birthday celebration of leadership newspaper Editor-in-chief, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah, about the security situation in Nigeria

I am an optimist as far as Nigeria is concerned…but in the last two months, I began to wonder, our house is on fire. Nigeria is becoming Somalia. The Somalisation of our country is going on now. Let’s look at ourselves in the face and tell ourselves the truth and find solution to the problem. We have to sit down and tell ourselves the truth. The responsibility is on us the northerners: our house is on fire, let us not deceive ourselves. The security situation is tolling on us. Borno State is today a failed state, Jigawa state is almost a failed state and Kano is moving towards becoming a failed state.”

'I’ll no longer pay any wage imposed by FG' – Gov Fashola

The Lagos state Governor while addressing workers during yesterday’s May Day celebration, said:
Today I will like to assert that our government will not be stampeded into paying any wage we are not part of negotiating and which the fund to pay them is not provided for and given to us. I recognise that Item 34 of the Exclusive Legislative List gives the Federal Government the power to make legislation for a minimum wage. That is where the power ends. We have complied with the minimum wage since January 2011 long before it was signed into law. We should be left to decide what more we can afford to pay over the minimum to any cadre of worker.”

Tennis star Serena Williams says she's done dating for 'next decade'

The 30-year-old tennis star who has dated rappers Common and Drake tells Celebuzz that her failed relationships in the past have hurt her so badly, she doesn’t want to be in a relationship for the next decade.

Serena tells Celebuzz
I have given up on dating. It just hasn't worked out well for me. I'm a really emotional person. I give my all and everything. I do make mistakes, like every human does, but the last relationship was just too much of a heart break for me. I just can't go through that anymore. It was hard. I just have to remove myself from that atmosphere for about the next decade or so.
Dear women, don't let a broken relationship leave you bitter. Life is too short, love is too beautiful!
