You may have heard that the mouth is the dirtiest place
in the body; this is because saliva contains numerous
microorganisms. Human bites are said to be more
dangerous than a dog bites as it contains more bacteria.
Worldwide there are billions of kisses exchanged by
people each year. The air kiss, casual peck on the cheek
or the cultured kiss on the hand aren’t much of a threat
but a kiss that exchanges saliva from one another is a
different matter.
Viruses That Can Be Transmitted by Kissing
Colds: many viruses cause the common cold. It can
spread by direct contact with the virus, from airborne
droplets, or from direct contact with secretions from the
infected person’s nose and throat.
Infectious Mononucleosis: also known as kissing
disease is caused by Epstein Barr virus. The virus is
spread through saliva and infection occurs through
contact.
Herpes Infection: includes varicella zoster (causes
chicken pox) and herpes simplex (cold sores in mouth).
Herpes is easily spread to others when others when cold
sore blisters are forming or have erupted. The virus is
shed to others from the site of blisters even when they
have healed. So, can you get herpes from kissing: yes.
Hepatitis-B: kissing may also transmit this virus even
though it may be contained in higher levels in blood.
Infection can occur when infected blood and saliva come
into direct contact with someone else’s bloodstream or
mucous membrane. A person may be easily infected if
they have sores in and around the mouth.
Warts: these can spread through kissing especially if in
case of recent trauma. Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease:
this is caused by Coxsackie virus and is spread through
open sores in the mouth. This infection is common in
kids especially those in day care. It is spread via the fecal
oral route (maybe while changing diapers)
Bacteria That Can Be Transmitted by Kissing
Meningococcal Disease: this is a life threatening
condition which includes meningitis, (inflammation of
the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord)
and septicemia. Studies show that deep kissing seems to
be one of the risk factors.
Tooth Decay: numerous studies indicate that
Streptococcus mutans, the main bacteria implicated with
caries is transmissible. Direct contact occurs most
commonly via kissing. Indirect contact occurs though
shared contaminated objects such as eating utensils,
toothbrushes, cups and even toys.
Gum Disease
Since gum diseases are considered the equivalent of
open wounds kissing or having oral sex when you or
your partner had bleeding gums is an invitation for the
transmission of unwanted organisms.
There is no need to give up kissing; while disease causing
bugs can be transferred during a kiss, most won’t cause
the disease and the risk of serious disease is small BUT it
may happen. And it’s not all bad.
Research into passionate kissing has uncovered many
valuable health benefits. For those who are calorie
conscious a 60 second kiss burns 26 calories.
Be conscious to keep your mouth as healthy and germ
free as possible everyday. Make sure your partner takes
preventive actions too so that you can both enjoy those
smooches. Mwaaaah!

KOGI STATE GOVERNOR ORDERS POLICE TO ATTACK STUDENTS
The Public Relations Officer,Student Union Government Kogi State University, Ogiri Cosmos reported in the early hours of today that the Governor of Kogi state University in an attempt to curb any form of protest by the union or the students,ordered the state police to stay within the school premises and attack students who try to protest. He reported this on his Facebook Account this morning :
"The executive governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has ordered a full squad of mobile Police men to halt any plan of Protest against the ongoing strike action embark by ASUU. It's two months and the only action we have received from the Governor is to send Armed Forces to hold the school on hostage. My dear students, your leaders have not been compromised and this action is an insult to the consultations of the students Union Government.
"
This is purely undemocratic !!

Dangerous Acts After A Meal
Below are seven dangerous act to avoid after a meal.
1. Don’t smoke.
Experiments from experts shows that smoking a
ciggarette after meal is equivalent to smoking ten
ciggrettes. (chances of cancer is higher).
2. Don’t eat fruits immediately.
Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause
stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore, take fruits
1-2 hours after meal or 1 hour before meal.
3. Don’t drink tea.
Because tea leaves contains a high content of acid.
The substance will cause the protein contents in the
food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to
digest.
4. Don’t loosen your belt.
Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the
intestine to be twisted and blocked. It’s better to do
that before eating or don’t do it at all.
5. Don’t bathe.
Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood
flow to the hand, legs and body, thus the amount of
blood around the stomach will therefore decrease.
This could weaken the digestive system in our
stomach.
6. Don’t walk about.
People always say that after meal, walk a hundred
steps and you will live till you become 99 years of age.
In actual fact, this is not true. Walking will cause the
digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition
from the food we intake.
7. Don’t sleep immediately.
The food we intake will not b able to digest properly.
Thus will to gastric and infection in our intestine.

Sex and relationship : 6 reasons why men who cook makethe best lovers
You often hear ladies say they love a guy who can
cook...and many of them have their reasons why they say
so.
If he knows his way around a kitchen...then there is a very
high chance he knows the same about a bedroom and his
woman too.
Bob Alaburda of YourTango lists a few reason why
guys who cook are better in bed:
They're all about pleasing others: Cooking is
almost a performance art. Like sex, if you're only doing it
for yourself, you're doing it wrong. Nobody cooks an
elaborate meal with themselves in mind. That sort of
selfless attitude translates to someone who's always
going to make sure you get yours in the bedroom. Just
make sure you always leave room for dessert.
. They're masters at improvisation: Nothing kills a
sex life faster than predictability and routine. Anyone who
cooks is used to two things: making use of whatever
ingredients they happen to have on hand, and preparing
a meal at a moment's notice. You never know when you'll
have surprise guests. A man who cooks is always
prepared to give you a novel experience. So, make sure
you ask him for today's specials.
. They've got the patience required to get you to
the finish line: There's a reason the term "fast food"
exists. It's because food by default isn't fast. There's a
time and a place for quickies, but in general, you want
someone who isn't in a race to finish the fastest. Put it
this way: he's not going to bring you the check and hurry
you out of the restaurant before the meal is finished.
. They hone ALL their skills: Cooking is a multi-
disciplinary skill that requires a ton of time and effort to
get right. The sort of person who has that disciplined
mindset doesn't just apply it to one thing. Self-
improvement is a personality trait. So, if he can perfect
his craft in the kitchen, he'll likely be more filling than just
an appetizer.
. Multitasking is second nature: In the kitchen,
you're rarely doing only one thing at a time. The same
goes for the bedroom. If you want a guy who can use all
the tools at his disposal, you want one that can cook. He's
used to tossing a salad while he prepares the fish.
. They can cook you breakfast in the morning:
Don't forget the most important part of this equation: the
free food. I mean, what else do you need?

Things that Could Stop You From Realizing YourFull Potential
Potential is unexposed ability and latent power. It is
who you can be and what you can achieve. The
potential for greatness lies within us all but not all of
us ever get to realize our potentials. According to
Thomas Edison “If we did all the things we are capable
of doing we would literally astound ourselves.” On this
side of life there is nothing as important as becoming
all you can be. However, you need to make sure you
are not the one standing in your way to becoming all
you can be.
Below are things that could stop you from realizing
your potential;
1) Focusing on your
flaws:
Many live through life
being majorly aware and
focusing on their
weaknesses instead of
strengths. Someone once
said “If you spend too
much time working on
your weaknesses all you
end up with is a lot of
strong weaknesses”. This
does not mean you should
totally ignore your flaws
but rather focusing on
your strengths while
making an attempt to manage your weaknesses. What
are the abilities that you always get positive feed backs
on? These are your strengths. We all have things we
are inherently good at; things that seem easier to us
than any other activity. You cannot really succeed
focusing on your weaknesses. Successful people dwell
on their strengths; they focus on areas where they can
make a positive difference. Here is the ground rule,
Work where you’re strongest 80% of the time. Work
where you’re learning 15% of the time, work where
you’re weakest 5% of the time.
2) Imitating and Comparing yourself to
others:
It’s okay to appreciate others as long as you don’t try
to duplicate or begin to envy their gifts. When you
imitate others, you are only living in their shadows.
Instead of living in somebody’s shadows, stand on
their shoulders and glean from their wisdom. The
foolishness in comparing yourself to others is that we
waste precious energy focusing on other peoples’ lives
rather than our own. Comparison puts your focus on
the wrong person! We all have our unique differences.
Recognize your uniqueness and make it count.
Uncommon people are just common people who
recognize their core gift and put it to work.
3) Dwelling on past failings or Negative
Experiences:
Those who dwell on their ugly past usually tend to be
narrow-minded because they find it difficult to rise
above the pains and sufferings of the past and may
not be able to look at the world as objectively as they
could. Such people make mountains out of their
memories than they do with their imaginations. They
do not look at the future with any bright hope. Until a
man can see a future he believes in, he may never
embrace any meaningful change in the present. You
need to let go of where you have been to get to where
you ought to be. Instead of dwelling on who your past
has shaped you into rather shift your mind to who you
can become. Change the verdict of your past. You
ought to be in control, not your past.
4) Fear:
Fear greatly hinders the ability and capacity to reach
out . It kills the desire for any meaningful pursuit. Fear
breeds inaction and inaction breeds more fear and
doubts. This can hinder any meaningful progress.
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather taking
the needed step in spite of your fears. Often times the
only thing between us and our greatness is our fears.
To attain your full potential, you must have the
courage to shun critics and push the boundaries.
5) Pride and self-centeredness:
Pride is a false image of the real you; a mask behind
which low self-esteem is hidden. It hinders the ability
to learn and grow. Self-centeredness is “what is in it
for me” kind of attitude. Pride and self-centeredness
negatively impact our lives. While one stops you from
learning, the other stops you from giving. It is only
when we learn we grow and only when we are ready
to give our self in service we receive because
contributing to the well-being of others is the best way
to align with your true self.
6) Mind decay:
This is what happens when we no longer actively
nurture our minds. Frivolity and complacency set in.
We begin to allow the little we have done to stop the
much we can do. To realize our full potential, we must
never stop learning and developing our minds.
According to Leonardo da Vinci, “Iron rusts from
disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation… even
so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.” When our
minds become stale, it is impossible for our lives to be
any better.

S.U.G PRESIDENT'S COMMENT : AS EXPECTED,DIDN'T VARY FROM THE SCRIPT
As a result of some rumblings of a protest by some KSU students living around Lokoja,the S.U.G President took to his Facebook wall around 6:00 PM today to post this :
"Pls all students should debunk any information stating that there would be protest in lokoja on Thursday 2nd 2016. We should nt use our hands to jeopardise efforts made so far as the government has promised to pay 5month salary this week. The SUG is in the position to call for protest when time is due and any one who takes part in any protest not organized by SUG is on his own as SUG would not stand liable or for any students who make such mistakes. I believe we re all literate as students and should know the procedures involved before embarking on a civil disobedience. SUG is nt sleeping as various steps has been taken and its almost yielding results. Pls we shouldn't use our hands to spoil the efforts made so far. And since we ve all entrusted the power of our representative on the excos of SUG then we have to trust them to take decisions for us. Always call the President on 08050476454 for information 24hrs his phone line is on. Thanks. Aluta continua, Victoria asserta . from comrd . P.S OMEPA (SUG president ksu)"
Well,this is coming as a surprise,we didn't see that coming did we ??
Nah,just kidding,we saw it coming. As a matter of fact it was part of the write up we published yesterday in the part where we said :
"You have a student union government,they look like they mean well,with all the keke napeps and stuffs,and they are trying to make sure that the government understand your plight without moving at a speed capable of killing a spleen,you can't blame them,they have their reasons,right ??
Can you act ?? Off course you can act,but as a student if you act without been told to by the SUG,then you're on your own."
So we expected something like this,even more assertion from your part,MR President :
" We should nt use our hands to jeopardise efforts made so far as the government has promised to pay 5month salary this week. The SUG is in the position to call for protest when time is due and any one who takes part in any protest not organized by SUG is on his own as SUG would not stand liable or for any students who make such mistakes."
So thanks MR President for again saying something we were expecting you to say,but not what many (KSUstudents) want you to say. Thanks for not varying from the script. By the way,as at yesterday,this is what we said just yesterday:
"But,isn't the SUG the body that connects you as student to them(the upper guys), they are your voice,but they clearly don't know what exactly you want them to voice out. So what you have to do is make them know exactly what you want,how you feel,what you want them to say. You have to start taking steps. Like I said,action speaks louder and clearer than words.
Its strike day 46,your patience has ran thin,you should start taking steps,you will start taking steps,you MUST start taking steps."
So you should understand where and why this protest talks is coming up,mr President. Its totally understandable why this is coming,the students are tired of just sitting at home and watching ASUU and the state government play chess with their future. You are the president of S.U.G, we are mere students who wants to earn a certificate,so at some point this protest talks was bound to come up,and at some point if something is not done,is bound to escalate.
Meanwhile,enjoy this report :
"Niger Delta University (NDU) on Saturday protested the indefinite closure of the university following the non-payment of workers by the state Government.
The students under the aegis of the Niger Delta Visionary Movement (NDVM) threatened to march naked with their books and block the entrance to Government House if after a week the stakeholders failed to settle their rift and open the university.
It would be recalled that the ASUU chapter of Niger Delta University on April 26th, embarked on indefinite strike over non payment of salaries."
To the Student Union Government of Kogi state university,brace up your "keke napep",its going to be a bumpy ride in the coming days if something isn't done. As of now,we are still watching !!

It would be recalled that the ASUU chapter of Niger Delta University on April 26th, embarked on indefinite strike over non payment of salaries."
To the Student Union Government of Kogi state university,brace up your "keke napep",its going to be a bumpy ride in the coming days if something isn't done. As of now,we are still watching !!
Motivational Letter By A Teacher To Her Pupils(touching)
This headteacher’s letter to year 6 students in
barrowford primary school has gone viral.if you can’t
read directly from the picture…its written out below:
“Please find enclosed your end of KS2 test results.
We are very proud of you as you demonstrated
huge amounts of commitment and tried your
very best during this tricky week.
However, we are concerned that these tests do
not always assess all of what it is that make each
of you special and unique. The people who create
these tests and score them do not know each of
you… the way your teachers do, the way I hope
to, and certainly not the way your families do.
They do not know that many of you speak two
languages. They do not know that you can play a
musical instrument or that you can dance or
paint a picture.
They do not know that your friends count on you
to be there for them or that your laughter can
brighten the dreariest day. They do not know that
you write poetry or songs, play or participate in
sports, wonder about the future, or that
sometimes you take care of your little brother or
sister after school.
They do not know that you have travelled to a
really neat place or that you know how to tell a
great story or that you really love spending time
with special family members and friends.
They do not know that you can be trustworthy,
kind or thoughtful, and that you try, every day, to
be your very best… the scores you get will tell
you something, but they will not tell you
everything.
So enjoy your results and be very proud of these
but remember there are many ways of being
smart.”

Top 5 Ways To Increase Your Intelligence
1. Minimize Television Watching – This is a hard
sell. People love vegetating in front of the television.
The problem is watching television doesn’t use your
mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having
the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health
benefits of exercise.
Don’t you feel drained after a couple hours of TV? Your
eyes are sore and tired from being focused on the
light box for so long. You don’t even have the energy
to read a book.
When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead.
If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re
with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have
a conversation. All of these things use your mind more
than television and allow you to relax.
2. Exercise – I used to think that I’d learn more by
not exercising and using the time to read a book
instead. But I realized that time spent exercising
always leads to greater learning because it improves
productivity during the time afterwards. Using your
body clears your head and creates a wave of energy.
Afterwards, you feel invigorated and can concentrate
more easily.
3. Read Challenging Books – Many people like to
read popular suspense fiction, but generally these
books aren’t mentally stimulating. If you want to
improve your thinking and writing ability you should
read books that make you focus. Reading a classic
novel can change your view of the world and will make
you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be
afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t
be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read
when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to
the author’s style.
Once you get used to reading challenging books, I
think you’ll find that you aren’t tempted to go back to
page-turners. The challenge of learning new ideas is
far more exciting than any tacky suspense-thriller.
4. Early to Bed, Early to Rise – Nothing makes it
harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You’ll be
most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t
sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and
compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic
and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early
morning hours are the most tranquil and productive.
Waking up early gives you more productive hours and
maximizes your mental acuity all day.
If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps
when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything
longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will
refresh you.
5. Take Time to Reflect – Often our lives get so
hectic that we become overwhelmed without even
realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate
because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending
some time alone in reflection gives you a chance
organize your thoughts and prioritize your
responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better
understanding of what’s important and what isn’t. The
unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your
mind will feel less encumbered

Revealed : Finally,the solution to this unending strike action
I know that you can read this post right now,as a matter of fact you are reading this post right now,so you are not blind. You,a student of Kogi State University,you are not blind. You can see what's going on in the state where your university is located. You are not blind,meaning you can read,as a matter of fact you have been reading kogireports,you have been following maquinnews,you are a regular on ksuforum. You are following,you are updated,you are seeing everything as it unfolds,but that's all you are doing,just following. Who can blame you though,what else can you do,you are just a student of the institution who wants to earn a certificate,graduate and be someone successful,why should you worry too much about what is going on in kogi state,why ??
A lot of people are writing a lot of things,about this,about that,its a good thing,the bad thing however is the major,point men targets those articles were written for on various platforms don't even have the time to read the first line,they don't care about a student telling them what to do and what not to do. They are politicians,let's leave it at that.
So you're basically left with one viable option,just keep quiet and keep following right ??
But,but where does the word "ACTION" come in ?
The cliche saying is that "action speaks louder than words". So are you supposes to talk less and do something ??
The governor of the state looks like he means well from where I stand,but with all the shenanigans surrounding the government it seems that this ASUU strike has been a little below number one,priority wise,you can't blame him. What you can do is to make sure he understands that your future depends on all this,but how are you going to do that ??
You have a student union government,they look like they mean well,with all the keke napeps and stuffs,and they are trying to make sure that the government understand your plight without moving at a speed capable of killing a spleen,you can't blame them,they have their reasons,right ??
A little peek into the bible,shall we :
Mathew 11:12
"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
You,most definitely is capable enough to take what you want by force,violently or otherwise,especially when what you are trying to take is what your parents paid for with sweat day after day,year after year.
Can you act ?? Off course you can act,but as a student if you act without been told to by the SUG,then you're on your own.
But,isn't the SUG the body that connects you as student to them(the upper guys), they are your voice,but they clearly don't know what exactly you want them to voice out. So what you have to do is make them know exactly what you want,how you feel,what you want them to say. You have to start taking steps. Like I said,action speaks louder and clearer than words.
Its strike day 46,your patience has ran thin,you should start taking steps,you will start taking steps,you MUST start taking steps.
We will help you take those steps,those actions,we will take them and see what the results are. Those actions,we will start doing,right now. We will let you know what the plan is,enough is enough.
