It was not the scream of fright; it was an angry sound of a female animal whose young has fallen into the hands of a predator. All the tenants rushed into her apartment to see her griping Leke’s manhood in one hand and dealing blows all over him with the other hand and biting him. Leke was a young man who lived in one room with his mother on the basement of the same building. He was always in Mama Nonso’s apartment, watching movie with the woman’s little female children, and occasionally running errands for the woman and her husband. People tried to rescue Leke from Mama Nonso who had practically turned crazy with rage but they could not.

Even the best of men are tempted to "taste" another woman from time to time. So, what can you do? Keeping a man faithful is not as difficult as it may appear at first. For starters, most of them want to be true to their spouses, but for that extra boost to ensure fidelity, try these steps: Respect him as you would want him to respect you. Remind him from time to time why he's your man. In other words, take the time to make him feel special as if he's the only one in your life. Tell him how handsome he is every now and then. Validate your man on a daily basis. Whether he works outside of the house, is currently unemployed or a stay-at-home Dad, (if you're married) your man still needs to feel like a man. You know he is, make sure he knows it as well. Appreciate all the things he does for you. It doesn't matter whether those things are big or small, they are worth, at the least, a thank you. Spice things up every once in a while. Tell him your fantasi...
