Believe it or not, dating women these is as risky as 'going into the arctic tundra', according to elitedaily.

Nowadays, it appears bright and educated, career-oriented women, feel that they are more likely to be single than their less intelligent counterparts.

It seems the bimbos get the man and the smart ladies never find bliss. So what could be reason for this ?

According to financial reporter, John Carney, "Successful men date less successful women not 

These days, it seems men want women who won't let their career come before pleasing their men first. If she doesn't, she faces stiff competition from many others who will refuse to fight their men, and will see them as 'saviours' not challengers.

According to elitedaily, it's a do or die affair. "If you're stupid, you're not taken seriously, but if you're smart, you're taken too seriously. Women everywhere are flailing under this double-edged sword. A beautiful, attractive female isn't desirable for her mind, and those with strong characters are seen as threatening, masculine and undesirable."

A recent study on 121 British participants showed that women with high intelligence posed a problem, while men with high intelligence were 'desirable', not problematic. Cultural stereotypes and gender biases are therefore, not letting women be seen as equals. Rational and educated women are ignored.

Most intelligent women may be courted, but then tend to get dumped as 'not worth the effort.' Hence, 'women everywhere are dipping far below their standards just to find men who appreciate them. They are giving up things they thought they wanted for nothing more than a simple 'he's good to me.''

Being intelligent is still making women lose years at dating or prioritising their careers. It simply means that their best bet for boyfriends were being lost for men who were building up their careers.

Feeling threatened and challenged by intelligent women, who they feel are arrogant and will upstage them, most men like to settle for the less challenging kinds.

In an article published by The Daily Beast, Dr. Eileen Pollack explains, "There are all these contradictions that are propagated in our culture that make it seem like you can't be smart and sexy. I don't think most of us challenge the paradigms, we just absorb them."

Hmm... does this mean that women who are getting hitched these days are the dumb ones? Just asking. But guys, what do you think about this relationship study?

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje has said that the state has fared well despite being in the opposition and would continue to do so.

Agbaje made the statement in response to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) saying that Lagos would suffer if the PDP wins the governorship of the state.

The PDP candidate made the comments via a statement posted on his Facebook page. It reads:

"Dear People of Lagos, you've probably heard the new rhetoric that the APCs spin-masters have been spewing out in the last couple of days stating that if Lagos is in the opposition, the Federal Government will deny Lagos a lot of benefits. Just yesterday, a few well-meaning Lagosians had sent us Facebook and SMS messages asking for my take on this issue so I've decided to speak up."

"First, I wonder about the soundness of this argument especially after listening to President-elect General Buhari's acceptance speech where he clearly stated "There shall no longer be a ruling party again... We shall never rule over the people as if they were subservient to government".

"This basically spoke to our better-angels as a people and our sense of community as Nigerians. If so, then where's the logic in the argument? Is APC LAGOS by the nature of this "aligning Lagos to the center" statement, now inferring that General Buhari intends to run a vindictive, partial or insensitive government? Well, that's not for me to answer and it's clearly not the focus of this piece."

"What I know, however, is that Lagos has always made progress in spite of being in the opposition and right now it will be to the benefit of democracy and the whole country to have a watchful police, as opposed to both power houses - Lagos & Abuja concentrated in one party. In fact, if my memory of history serves me well, Lagos and the FG have never been in the same party. Our development as a state is as a result of our ingenuity, tenacity and drive as a people. And it's clear that Lagosians can see through this total botch of logic."

"In 2007-2011, his excellency, Governor Fashola was AC/ACN/APC while the FG led by Yar’Adua was PDP. Under Yar’Adua, the FG released withheld funds to Lagos that had been blocked by his predecessor despite being in opposing parties with Governor Fashola. You see, our edge as a state has always being about our collective ability to stay ahead of the curve with our without favour from the FG."

"That said, it's important that we put in context what is really happening in Nigeria. The yearning for change that has clearly swept this nation is one that supersedes any one man, political party, tribe or religion. Put simply, it is a statement against the status-quo. A clarion call by the people for leaders who will put the peoples interests first before aggrandisement and petty bickering that seems to have become the norm in politics."

"To politicians, leaders and people in position of authority including myself, it is a call that we cannot stand against. It's one that we must all comply with to ensure that we build a better society and a greater Nigeria."

"It will be my honour to serve as your Governor - a man capable of making his own decisions as I have always done in the past. Quite frankly, I'm not sure anyone can say the same of my opponent."

Agbaje will go head to with APC candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode on April 11, 2015.

The Opeluwa of Lagos, Chief Aderibigbe Ajose has attempted to clarify the statement made concerning the Igbos in the state by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu.

Oba Akiolu became the centre of controversy after he said that any Igbo person who doesn’t vote for All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode would die in the Lagoon.

Chief Ajose however said, in a statement released on Monday, April 6, that the Oba had only referred to the Lagoon as part of the tradition of Lagos.

The statement reads:

“Last Sunday, all honorary Eze Ndigbos in Lagos paid a courtesy call to HRM Oba Akiolu. At the meeting the visitors praised the Oba for his fatherly support for and cooperation with Igbos in. Lagos. They assured him of their continued good neighborliness with other tribes in Lagos and support everything that’ll further strengthen that harmony.”

“Oba Akiolu, on his part, acknowledged the enviable performance of Governor (Babatunde) Fashola and his contribution to the growth of investments in Lagos.”

“He gave the assurance that he is not disturbed or angry with South-East and South- South votes for President Jonathan as perceived by the Eze Ndigbos. The Obas thereafter called on the Igbos chiefs to show appreciation to Lagos State by supporting his candidate Mr. Ambode for continuity of excellence as they have earlier promised.”

“He assured them of his continued support‎ and assistance where needed and the meeting ended with the traditional breaking of kolas, alligator pepper, and bitter kola and pouring of liberation on the ground.”

“It was within this context that that the tradition of Lagos, with regard to the lagoon, came up. It was noted that whoever works against the throne and the interest and peaceful co-existence of Lagos would end up in the lagoon as per tradition.”

“Oba Akiolu stated further that the Igbo people have not betrayed the throne. Lagos has also not betrayed the Igbo people. Lagos has done so much to make the Igbos comfortable and to prosper. For this, we expect reciprocal respect and understanding.”

“The Oba of Lagos prays that the Lagoon and the throne will continue to bless and protect all those who reside and visit Lagos. Oba Akiolu is the father of all irrespective of tribe, religion or political persuasion.”      

The Oba's comments have attracted strong criticism with the PDP accusing him of playing God in the affairs of Lagos State.

In the wake of the attacks which were carried out on Garissa University by Islamic fundamentalist group, al-Shabab, the Kenyan military has announced that it has destroyed 2 of the terrorist group's camps in Somalia.

Al Jazeera reports that jets pounded the camps in the Gedo region of Somalia on Sunday.

Kenya Defence Forces spokesman David Obonyo said on Monday, that the mission was part of efforts to stop fighters from those camps carrying out cross-border raids into Kenya.

While pointing out that cloud cover made it difficult to estimate the death toll, he however noted that the military's aerial images showed that the camps had been completely destroyed.

In a swift response however, al-Shabab's military operations spokesman, Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab debunked the claims and told the Reuters news agency that none of its camps were damaged in Sunday's raid, and that the fighter jets had instead struck farmland.

Last June, Kenyan fighter jets attacked 2 bases belonging to al-Shabab fighters in Somalia, killing at least 80 of them, according to African Union (AU) peacekeeping troops deployed there.

Terrorist group, al-Shabab has carried out a series of attacks on Kenya of what the group feels is the country's intervention. In 2013, it attacked Westgate Mall in Nairobi killing 67 people and last Thursday, armed men from the group raided the Garissa University College campus killing 148 people.
