BISHOPS BEG PRESIDENT BUHARI TO PARDON 5 MEN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR KILLING HERDSMAN

Following a  Yola High Court judgement on June 11, 2018 to sentence five men to death by hanging, the Supreme Council of Bishops, also known as World Council of Bishops, has written President Muhammadu Buhari.

The men from Kodomun in Demsa council area of the state, according to the Judge, would face the hangman for murdering a herder in retaliation to the several killings in the area.

The letter, dated June 13, 2018 from the World Episcopal Headquarters in Texas, U.S., was titled “Special request for presidential pardon: Killing by hanging of five young men,” and signed by founding Primate, Abuja, Nigeria, Archbishop (Dr.) P.  Sunday; Ecclesiastical Prelate Administrator, Houston, Texas, United State, Archbishop (Dr.) H. Parker; Apostolic Nuncio and Prelate to Africa, Lagos, Nigeria, Bishop (Dr.) J. Onyegbulem; and Ecclesiastical Prelate to West Africa, Niamey, Niger Republic, Bishop (Dr.) J. Hussein.

Anticipatory approval and constitutional breaches

The bishops said “till date no adequate justice had been meted out on them commensurate to the lives and property lost.” It therefore “totally condemns and disapproves vehemently the death sentence passed on the five young men on Monday, June 11, 2018 by a court of competent jurisdiction in Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria accused and charged for killing a herdsman.”

They added “what our nation Nigeria sues for now in our nascent democracy is peace and tranquility, and not otherwise.”

What to Do When Someone Tells You They Like You

Intimacy can be scary. Figuring out what to do when someone finally comes clean and tells you they like you is just the tip of the new relationship iceberg. Emotions can make dealing with this difficult - but here are some strategies that may help.

When Someone Says They Like You

There are short-term and long-term processes that have to happen when someone likes you as more than a friend. The mistakes people make in these situations are the subject of many comedies and tragedies alike from Greek mythology to Sex and the City.

There are no real hard and fast rules for human relationships, no matter how many books and TV talk show hosts may like to pretend otherwise. However, there are some guidelines to dealing with affection that may help reduce the drama involved and may lead to a happy romance.

Short Term Strategies

When someone says they like you, it puts you on the spot, and you will probably feel like you need to respond immediately, whether you like them back or not. However, when you're in the moment, you may feel frozen to the spot and not know what to do. Here are a few ideas.

Say Thank You

Regardless of whether you return the sentiment, acknowledge the person has just paid you a compliment. They were probably nervous about doing so, and that makes it all the more meaningful. The first thing to say is "Thank you for telling me!" It's simple, it's polite, and it sets a tone of conversation that can help defuse some of the tension. It also gives you a chance to deal with the other short-term strategies.

Go With Your Gut

You will have an initial reaction to hearing someone likes you. It will be immediately positive or negative, and easy to tell. About five seconds later, though, the analytical mind will start to examine and tear apart this initial reaction. That's fine, it's there to protect you but never forget that initial reaction. If you don't like someone, but try to talk yourself into it ("He's rich, he's handsome, everybody else likes him!") you are almost certainly going to end up miserable. Likewise, if you do feel attraction to someone but start criticizing the feeling ("What would my parents think?") you are setting yourself up as your own antagonist. You don't have to tell the person how you feel right away, but recognize your initial reaction as being one that is true. You'll examine that later.

Choose A, B, or C

Don't let yourself get shocked into returning the sentiment because you're surprised and don't want to hurt their feelings. You have options when someone confesses their feelings.

• A is when you like the person, and there doesn't seem to be any reason not to tell them. If you've been thinking about how much you like them then this is exactly the time to tell them, "I like you too!"
• B is when you have been worried about this event because you can tell they like you, and you know the feeling isn't mutual. In that case, you need to tell them in the traditional way: "I like you, but not in that way." It's better to be honest if you are sure of this.
• C is when you aren't sure and when it comes as a surprise. There is nothing wrong with saying "Thank you for telling me! Wow, that's a surprise. I need some time to process this. Can we talk more about it later?" Because the brain likes surprises (according to findings in a study Dr. Gregory Berns, an assistant psychiatry professor at Emory University in Atlanta, performed), you may get a rush of the feel-good neurotransmitter, dopamine, as long as the surprise isn't a negative one (as with option B). If you're not sure how you feel, taking some time to think about it will be your best bet.

Long Term Strategies

The strategy for choice "A" above is pretty simple: Live happily ever after. Or just date awhile. Take things as they come and enjoy each other's company in this new light.

If you have to refuse their affections, remember honesty is far less cruel than leading someone on. One of the biggest fears of telling someone you like them is you may lose them as a friend. The only way to avoid this is to set and keep personal boundaries in how you spend time together, and how you show the ways you do like each other. To muddy the waters will only lead to more confused feelings and mixed signals.

If you are taking time to think about it, make sure you make it a priority. Try to find a place and time when you can focus on your feelings. Make sure that you differentiate between what are true feelings and what are outside voices trying to convince you of what you should feel, rather than what you do feel.

Moving Forward

In the end, no one can tell you exactly what to do when someone says they like you. When it happens, you are taking part in one of the most integral and beautiful parts of the human experience. It's easy to handle if you return their affections! If you're less enthusiastic about dating or entering a relationship, do make sure you're gentle with their feelings whether you're taking a few days to think about how you feel or letting them down on the spot. If you're good friends, you may find you have to work a little harder to make the friendship seem natural again because the person who confessed they like you might be feeling awkward and unsure of how to proceed.

Sensual Kissing Tips

A few kissing tips are sure to help in the game of love and dating. A key component to intimacy, kissing is a private moment shared between a couple - even in a crowded room. Whether it is a quick peck or a long smooch, kissing is a pleasant way to spread a little love.

The act of kissing causes a chemical reaction in our brains. This rush of neurotransmitters goes straight to the brain's pleasure center. By using these kissing tips to improve your technique, biology will help you make stronger partnerships, naturally.

Basic Kissing Guidelines

A kiss can have many meanings: friendly, romantic, affection and passion. No matter your purpose, the basic kiss has guidelines to ensure it is a satisfying experience for both.

Kissing is much more than purely touching lips. The experience actually involves three main senses: touch, taste, and smell. When your partner's mouth touches yours, you want to taste delicious, smell delightful and touch gracefully. A great kiss should pause slightly just before the lips connect, let the other person kiss back, and have the kissers complete and undivided attention. In addition, keep the following in mind:

• Lips should be soft, moist, warm and slightly parted.
• The kiss should be firm, but tender.
• Proper timing is important - spontaneous, but welcomed.
• A kiss should be backed up by genuine feelings of intimacy.

Before a date or as you see your lover approaching, get in the mood for a kiss. Your mouth should be clean, teeth brushed, and lips moisturized. Smile and catch your partner eye first before making the move toward a kiss. Open up your body, stand close, and tilt your head. Reach outward while kissing; touch the other person with your body, arms and hands. When actually kissing, make sure you are comfortable, or the kiss itself will be awkward.

When the kiss is over, slowly close your lips and pause before withdrawing. The end of the kiss is as important as the beginning. Pull back gently and maintain some contact, either holding hands, hugging or simply standing close. Look into each others eyes, before moving apart.

Practice

Although it may sound silly, like any art form, practice is important. Practicing with another person is fun if you have an intimate friend or current relationship. If not, you can still practice in other ways. Consider the following:

• Watch romantic movies and study the way the couples kiss.
• Think about how you eat, what feels good in your own mouth and the varying sensations.
• Practice tongue and lip movements on lollipops, gum or ice cream cones.
• Kiss your own hands and arms, how do different movements of your lips and tongue feel on your skin.

That Important First Kiss

Before embarking on the important adventure of a first kiss, consider these important kissing tips:

• Develop intimacy first before kissing.
• Heavy flirting before leaning toward the kiss can help put you both in the mood.
• Time and place are particularly critical for that first unforgettable kiss. Ideally, you want to be alone, in a romantic and memorable setting.

Specific Kissing Tips

Even if you have years of great kissing under your dating belt, the following are definitely some good reminders.

• Taste and smell your lipstick, gloss and chapstick. Make sure they are pleasing.
• Use touch to enhance your kissing experience.
• Lick and press lips together slightly before kissing to soften, moisten and warm them.
• Most kissers close their eyes, so you should too - although, it can be nice to look at each other once in a while.
• Kiss other parts of the body rather than just the lips.
• Kissing is an important part of a healthy relationship. Don't let your pucker die away.
• Incorporate kissing into your day - pecks on the cheek in greeting, a smooch before leaving for work, a tender bedtime neck canoodle.
• Rub noses while kissing for childish fun.
• Take advantage of the sensual tongue, with all its touch and taste sensations.
• Giggle and laugh while kissing. Enjoy yourselves.

Making Out

In traditional making out, the kiss of choice is the French kiss. While most of us receive lots of practice with casual kissing at a young age, the French kiss is a bit more illusive. If you need some more guidance in this passionate practice, consider the following French kissing tips.

• Always ensure both of you are relaxed, comfortable and snuggled, before beginning a longer make out session.
• Find the perfect romantic setting; lighting, sounds and aromas all help create the mood.
• Start out slow, with gentle closed lip kissing, moving into the more heated tongue kisses.
• Utilize your other body parts to enhance the passion. Caress your partner's face, touch her hair, wrap your legs together, hug and push close together.
• When using your tongue to kiss, you want to avoid too much. Make sure the tongue is relaxed and the movements gentle and subtle.
• Brush your tongue inside your partner's mouth, suck slightly on each others tongues, and tickle the lips.
• Avoid too much movement while kissing, make your actions controlled and relaxed.
• Remember to take breathing breaks.
• Take control of your saliva.

All About First Kisses

It's time for your first kiss. Don't sweat it. It's not as hard as you think. Once you do it a few times, you'll think back and wonder, "What in the world was I so nervous about to begin with..." The trick is to get by the first-time jitters.

Your First Kiss Fears

If you're having some anxiety about your first kiss, you aren't alone. Everyone has some fear when it comes time to pucker up for the first time. What do most people worry about?

• Will he or she think I am a good kisser?
• What if it's unexpected and my breath smells bad?
• I have never kissed anyone. I don't even know what to do.
• How will I know he or she wants to kiss me?
• What if we bump heads? Which way do I turn my head?
• How much tongue do I use? Do I use my tongue?
• Where do I put my hands?
• How long do I kiss for? How will I know when to stop?
• When do I turn my head during a kiss? Do I turn my head?

It's okay. You won't have to know everything about kissing when you kiss for the first time because guess what? Your first kiss won't be a 20 minute make-out session.

You will most likely have a five second (if that) kissing session that will consist of two lips puckered that touch each other with some suction. That's it. You'll release, look into each other's eyes and you'll think it's magical. Your kissing partner will probably think it's pretty awesome too.

While this may seem pretty simple, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be armed with some tipsbefore you enter your first kissing experience.

The Lowdown on Your First Kiss

It's time for some kissing education. While this prepares you to kiss for the first time, the best way to perfect your kissing technique is to do it. Practice makes perfect - so once you know how to kiss, don't be afraid to pucker up when the moment calls for it.

Now, for your lesson on kissing.

Lesson #1: Invest in Mints

Have mints on hands at all times. You can easily swallow a mint when you're about to kiss someone. That way, you can be assured that your breath is fresh and clean.

Lesson #2: How to Know When to Kiss

You'll know someone wants to kiss you when the person looks deeply into your eyes and leans into you. You'll feel it inside you that there's something about to happen. If you start leaning into the person, and he or she doesn't step back or lean back, you know it's time...a special time for a kiss.

Lesson #3: Imagine Kissing

Right now, try it. Imagine kissing the person you think you'll be kissing for the first time. Pay attention to where your hands will go.

Usually, they go on the person's waist, or if you're embracing, in the middle of your partner's back. If you are sitting next to each other, it's okay to hold his or her hand(s), or place a hand on the arm, or upper thigh.

Lesson #4: Relax Your Body

Take a deep breath and let it all out, so your body is relaxed. If you are too uptight, your lips will remain tight, and your kissing partner will feel that. Remember, you can do this.

Lesson #5: Move Slowly Into the Kiss

To resolve your anxiety about which way to move your head, move in slowly for the kiss. That way, you can watch which way the person you are kissing is moving his or her head, and you can turn the opposite way. See, if you go too quickly, you may go the say way, and then BAM - knocked heads. It will make it more special if you move more slowly too.

Moving slowly into the kiss will also give you time to prepare you to form your mouth for the kiss. Don't start puckering when you are a foot from the other person. When you're about five inches or so, open your mouth slightly and pucker up a little. It's not exactly a classic pucker when you are romantically kissing, it's more of a loose pucker.

Lesson #6: Close Your Eyes

Some people don't close their eyes, but some kissing partners are spooked by that. So for the sake of not running off your first kissing partner, just close your eyes when you lock your lips. Someday, if it makes you too uncomfortable to close your eyes, you can take a stand and just keep them open. It's up to your kissing partner to deal with it if he or she doesn't like it.

Lesson #7: No Need to Turn Your Head or Use Tongue

Good news! For your first kiss, you don't need to turn your head. Actually, when you turn your head, it's really more than one kiss. You are actually releasing a little when you turn your head during a kiss. You kiss, stop a little, turn your head and continuing kissing. That's for another lesson though.

You also don't need to use your tongue. That's for more experienced kissers.

Lesson #8: Savor the Moment and Slowly Let Go

Once you lock your lips, savor the moment. You've done it! You are in your first kiss - AH! How awesome is that?

When does it end? No need to count. Just wait a little and then slowly move your head back a little. Your kissing partner will understand that the kissing is over and move his or her head back too.

As you move back, slowly open your head, look into the eyes of your kissing partner and smile.

Bonus Tip:

Sneak in a quick little kiss once you separate from the lips. It's cute and shows that you really liked the kiss. It will send an extra little shiver down his or her spine.
