Two persons including one secondary school student were reported killed and six teachers injured today when students of Ibadan City Academy, Eleta and Community Grammar School, Kudeti clashed in Ibadan, capital of Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria over what a source described as ‘supremacy’.
Also, our sources revealed that five vehicles belonging to the school principal and teachers were vandalized during the clash which started yesterday.
At the time of filing in this report, at least seven people have been arrested in connection with the incident including two female students believed to be girlfriends to some of the hoodlums from Popo area who were believed to have spearheaded the clash.
Furthermore, the residents of Yejide area of Ibadan were also affected in the melee as property worth millions of naira including food stuffs were destroyed.
Investigations revealed that as a result of the clash that occurred between students of the two schools, a reappraisal attack was launched by the students of Community Grammar School.
It was gathered that a female student from the Community Grammar School invited hoodlums from Popo area to assist in launching the attack.
The hoodlums got to Ibadan City Academy around 11.30am demanding to see the school Principal who was not available.
As the hoodlums were leaving the school, one of them was allegedly attacked by some students leading to his death.
One of the teachers attacked by the hoodlums, Mr. Atanda Bamigbade told newsmen that it was when they could not see the principal that they descended on the teachers and attacked them with dangerous weapons.
He gave names of those attacked by the hoodlums as Mrs Toyin Omotoso, Mrs. T. Makanjuola and the security guard, Mr. R.O. Lawal.
Two teachers at the Yejide Girls’ Grammar school were also attacked and our source revealed that they have been hospitalised.
However, luck ran out on one of them when he was overpowered by the teachers while another one scaled the fence.
Sources declared that some of the vandalized vehicles were Sunny Nissan with registration number ND 96 KJA (Lagos), Honda with registration number AU 686 NRK (Oyo), NB 74AAA (Lagos), AG 970 KSF (Lagos) and AV 819 BDJ (Oyo).
Attempt to seek official clarification proved abortive as the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Tunji Ajimuda switched off his phone when called.
A senior lecturer at the University of Benin is currently telling security agents all he knows about an attempt to doctor the National Assembly election result in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in Ovia Federal Constituency in Edo state.
Dr. Paul Uwujaren, who was employed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the Collation Officer in Edo State allegedly attempted to doctor the result by inflating the total number of votes cast for the PDP candidate, Mr. Charity Amaeyaevbo.
According to the police in Benin City, the university don falsified the results of the polls conducted in Ugbogui ward 8 of the Federal Constituency.
Dr. Uwujaren, who is now with the State CID in Benin City, allegedly added 8000 votes to the 1,123 votes in favour the PDP candidate after collecting the sum of N5 million.
The alleged unethical attitude had resulted in the delay in declaring the result in the constituency leading to confusion.
Immediately the election was concluded, Dr. Uwujaren was said to have disappeared while the people waited anxiously at Iguobazuwa.
He was not seen even 24 hours after the polls.
Worried by the development and after failed attempts through the telephone and SMS to contact the lecturer, the electoral officer of the area, Dr. Chinyere Amakiri, alerted the Divisional Police Officer in the area, Mr. Awe Francis.
The DPO was able to get Uwujaren into the collation centre where he later presented the score sheet for Ward 8 amidst tension.
The controversial score sheet showed that the PDP scored 10,123 votes while the ACN had 1,337 votes even when only 3,500 voters were said to have registered in the area.
Dr. Uwujaren’s insistence that the scores were valid, forced the electoral officer to order a recount of the votes for the unit which resulted in the discovery that the PDP actually scored 1,123 while the ACN 1,337.
The senior lecturer, who was immediately apprehended, confessed to the crime admitting that he was pressured by the PDP officials in the area to inflate the figure after the sum of N5million was paid into his account with a new generation bank.
Police sources have hinted that the PDP candidate would be invited for interrogation as the confession by the academic has indicted him.

Dear 9jabookers,
Rejoinder: We apologise on a photo allegedly of Governor Uduaghan yesterday. it was unconfirmed as at press release.We will always strive to post stories as accurately as possible.thanks Weboga.
First Bank of Nigeria plc has again lived up to its billing of being truly the first when in February this year it unveiled the pioneering biometric Automated Teller Machines, ATMs. The idea is to improve security of its customers’ transactions and to explore the unbanked segments of the economy.
Interestingly, the new technology is expected to be available to existing cardholders who may wish to add biometric authentication on the bank’s ATMs as part of their transaction approval process. This is in addition to PIN selection. The new cardholders will automatically migrate to the new platform.
According to the bank, the new cards will feature fingerprint authentication, meaning that even illiterates would benefit from it as they could be issued cards with only biometric authentication functionality.
Mr. Bisi Onasanya, Group Managing Director of First Bank, said that “this development is consistent with the bank’s tradition of pioneering far-reaching innovations in the financial services industry, as they strive to continuously provide products and services that facilitate national growth and development. The biometric ATM initiative is a pioneering move by First Bank in the Nigeria banking industry for leveraging on the Customer Identification System, CIS, platform.
The platform was launched at the bank’s head office in Marina, Lagos, just as it will be extended to its strategic outlets soon.
Onasanya remarked that the bank intends to embark on a massive campaign to bring the new technology to the knowledge of the people. He said the bank acknowledges the fact that some people avoid the use of ATM because of the fraud issue. He also noted that with the added technology on biometric ATMs, it would be easier and safer for customers’ usage.
Chuma Ezirin, Group Head, E-business at First Bank, noted that in the increasingly technology-driven business environment, the bank is keen on providing solutions that are relevant to its customers’ dynamic needs.
The use of customers’ biometric features for authentication is to enhance security and also address challenges of migrating diverse segments of customers to electronic channels which provide convenience to customers.
This is a great feat for the bank, especially now that fraud prevention and building customers’ confidence on the use of electronic channels are key customer acquisition and retention strategies.
The biometric ATM solution is available to existing cardholders who may wish to add biometric authentication as part of their transaction approval process on the bank’s ATMs in addition to PIN selection, while systematically new cardholders would be issued cards with only biometric authentication functionality, noted Ezirin.
The big joke was on former president Olusegun Obasanjo last night as it emerged that the opposition Action Congress of Nigeria had trounced candidates of his party, the PDP in parliamentary elections in Ogun State.
Obasanjo casting his vote
Obasanjo, the exponent of ‘I dey laugh o’, had his repertoire of laughter and sarcasm drying up, with his daughter, Iyabo Bello placing a distant second to the ACN candidate in the senatorial race.
As if he had an inkling of the turn of fates, Obasanjo had spoken around the theme of laughter when he voted at his polling unit in Abeokuta at 12:37p.m yesterday’s election.
Asked to comment on the rescheduled polls. He said: “You can’t say everything is a laughing matter the way I said ‘I dey laugh o’ because it is a serious matter now”.
But he spoke too soon as he merely preempted the end of his mockery over the travails of his political opponents.
Last night, the wheel turned full circle, with Obasanjo’s party losing to the ACN in Ogun State.
He got the taste of the new political change in his state at his polling booth, where the ACN candidate beat Iyabo by 194 votes to 85.
As observers said, the heavy trouncing is no longer a laughing matter.
The controversy over the Anambra Central Senatorial District election has been laid to rest.
Ex-Governor Chris Nwabueze Ngige of the Action Congress of Nigeria (AC N) was last night declared the winner.
Returning Officer Dr. Alex Anene announced that Ngige polled 68,208 votes to defeat his closest rival, former Minister of Information Prof. Dora Akunyili, who scored 68,164 votes.
Mrs. Akunyili ran on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Senator Annie Okonkwo of the Accord Party (AP) scored 23,346 votes. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate scored 18,578. Two people, Oguguo Okoye and Chudi Offodile, are battling for the PDP ticket.
The Returning Officer, who announced the result at the Tourist Gardens Hotel in Awka under tight security, said he had all authentic results duly written on Form EC8.
“No one else has the authority to declare the result of this election. No result was cancelled; all of them are intact”, he said.
A big row had broken out over the result as Mrs. Akunyili and Ngige claimed victory in the election.
Anene on Sunday alleged that his life was in danger and vowed to quit the job.
He said he was offered N10million, a duplex and a car to announce the result in favour of Akunyili, instead of Ngige, who, he said, won.
Last night, Anene said he wanted to complete his assignment.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the state, Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukogu, had earlier announced the cancellation of elections in 10 wards across four local government areas. He ordered a rerun. He also announced Prof. Charles Esimonye as the new Returning Officer who would handle the rerun poll after Anene’s alleged resignation.
Onukaogu said areas where the rerun election would take place are: Enugwu-Ukwu Ward I; Nimo Ward I and III; Nri Ward II, which has two units; Obosi; - Umunachi; Nkpor and Umuoji.
The wards are in Idemili North, Idemili South, Dunukofia and Njikoka local governments.
Onukogu said he canceled the elections in the four local government areas following protest from Ngige.
Charles Odedo of the ACN had earlier declared winner of the election in Idemili North/South federal constituency.
Akunyili last night declined to comment on the declaration of the ex-governor as winner of the election.
A lady who described herself as the Personal Assistant to Akunyili said on the telephone that her principal “is not the right person to answer this question.”
“If you listened to news this night (yesterday) you would have heard the results that were announced. That is what we know,” she said.

e stand around a lot here at Men’s Health. In fact, a few of us don’t even have office chairs. Instead, we write, edit, and answer e-mails—a lot of e-mails—while standing in front of our computers. All day long. Why?
It all started last summer, when Assistant Editor Maria Masters came across a shocking study in the Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (one of dozens of research journals we comb each month as we put together the magazine). Scientists at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana analyzed the lifestyles of more than 17,000 men and women over about 13 years, and found that people who sit for most of the day are 54 percent more likely to die of heart attacks.
That’s right—I said 54 percent!
Masters immediately called the lead researcher at Pennington, a professor named Peter Katzmarzyk. Turns out, this wasn’t the first study to link sitting and heart disease. Similar research actually dates back to 1953, when British researchers found that (sitting) bus drivers were twice as likely to die of heart attacks as (standing) trolley operators.
Here’s the most surprising part: “We see it in people who smoke and people who don’t,” Katzmarzyk told Masters. “We see it in people who are regular exercisers and those who aren’t. Sitting is an independent risk factor.”
In other words, it doesn’t matter how much you exercise or how well you eat. If you sit most of the day, your risk of leaving this world clutching your chest—whether you’re a man or women—as much as doubles.
Bonus Tip: For the latest health, fitness, and nutrition tips and advice, check out our all-new Today's News channel!
This raised a rather obvious question: Why? Truth is, the researchers aren’t sure. But Marc Hamilton, Ph.D., one of Katzmarkzyk’s colleagues, suspects it has to do with an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which breaks down fat in the bloodstream and turns it into energy. Hamilton found that standing rats have ten times more of the stuff coursing through their bodies than laying rats. It doesn’t matter how fit the rats are; when they leave their feet, their LPL levels plummet. Hamilton believes the same happens in humans.
Still sitting? Then you should know that your office chair also:
1. Screws up your posture. The fascia, the tissue that connects individual muscles into a full-body network, begins to set when you stay in one position for too long, says Men’s Health advisor Bill Hartman, P.T., C.S.C.S., a physical therapist in Indianapolis. If you’re hunched over a keyboard all day, this eventually becomes your normal posture.
2. Makes you fatter. This happens for two reasons. First, you burn 60 more calories an hour when standing versus sitting. But more importantly, says Hartman, when you spend too much time sitting, your largest muscle group—the glutes (a.k.a. your butt)—become lazy and quit firing. This is called gluteal amnesia. And it means you burn fewer calories.
3. Causes lower back pain. Weak glutes push your pelvis forward, putting stress on the spine, says Hartman. Here’s the other unseemly thing that happens when your pelvis tilts forward: Your belly protrudes, making you look 5 months pregnant.
Bonus Tip: For more strategies that will keep you fit and healthy for life, check out The Best Fitness Tips Ever!
So what’s a desk-bound worker to do? First, Hamilton suggests you change how you think about fitness. We have a tendency to segment our lives—work, home, and downtime. Exercise falls into the last category, something we squeeze into our busy schedules when possible. But if you stop thinking about exercise as an activity, and instead think of it as a lifestyle, it’s easier to make healthy choices throughout the day.
In other words: Stop trying to be fit, and start trying to live fit.
Second, of course, is to stand more throughout the day. These strategies will get you up on your feet more often:
Strategy #1: Take two breaks an hour. Grab a drink from the water fountain. Pop over to the cube next door to say hi. Or simply stand and stretch for a minute. AEuropean Heart Journal study of 5,000 men and women found that the quarter who took the most breaks during the day were 1.6 inches thinner than the quarter who took the least.
Strategy #2: Stand during phone calls. It may seem like a small thing but, as Hamilton told Masters: “Small choices will help move you in the right direction. . . . It all adds up, and it all matters.”
Strategy #3: Don’t write long emails. If crafting an email will take longer than 15 minutes, go talk to the person instead. Or stand up and call them.
And if that’s not enough (and it may not be) . . .
Strategy #4: Ask HR for a standup desk. Australian researchers found that workers who log more than 6 hours of seat time a day are up to 68 percent more likely to be overweight. If you make the changes above and your waistline isn’t shrinking, a standup desk may be the answer. Make sure the screen is at arm’s length, and the top at eye level. Position the keyboard so your elbows are bent 90 degrees. Men’s Health Senior Editor Bill Stieg built his own. Check it out.
The besieged Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo was captured Monday by forces loyal to president-elect Alassane Ouattara after weeks of fighting.
Mr Ouattara's soldiers, backed by French and UN troops, removed Mr Gbagbo, 65, who had been holed up in the presidential residence in Abidjan for almost two weeks.
He was taken to the Golf Hotel, the president-elect's temporary headquarters, with an entourage of 50 people. His eldest son, Michel, showed signs of having been beaten, while Mr Gbagbo himself appeared to have a swollen eye.
Local television showed Mr Gbagbo looking bewildered by events. His wife, Simone, an evangelical Christian who is believed to have had an important influence on Mr Gbagbo's political decisions, was also arrested, as was his mother.
The news brought Mr Ouattara's supporters racing out on to the streets of Abidjan, which erupted with the sound of cheers, gunfire and car horns.
"We are very very happy," said one man, waving a sarong like a flag. "Gbagbo is gone. He has been captured."
Hillary Clinton, the U.S. secretary of state, said Mr Gbagbo's fate was a warning to all dictators that "they may not disregard the voice of their own people in free and fair elections".
In remarks evidently directed at Col Moammar Gadhafi, Libya's ruler, she added that "there will be consequences for those who cling to power".
Guillaume Soro, the Ivory Coast's prime minister, said Mr Gbagbo had handed himself in to Mr Ouattara's forces. He appealed to Mr Gbagbo's remaining fighters to surrender, saying: "There cannot be a manhunt."
The United Nations said Mr Gbagbo's forces had indicated their willingness to surrender but it was unclear when a mechanism for them to be disarmed would be put in place or what their leader's fate would be. Alaine Le Roy, the head of the UN peacekeeping operations, said Mr Ouattara "might want to prosecute him, but that is his call".
A diplomat living near the presidential residence said he could hear the celebrations from his window, a welcome contrast to the gunfire that has reverberated around the area in recent weeks. But he warned that Mr Ouattara, who won 54 per cent of the vote in internationally supervised elections in November, which Mr Gbagbo refused to honour, will struggle to reunite his nation after allegations of mass atrocities in the west.
The power struggle between Mr Ouattara and Mr Gbagbo reflected deep tribal and religious tensions which have pitted the mainly Christian south against northern Muslims. "The hard part is just starting - reconstruction, reconciliation, bringing back law and order and detailing with the grisly events of recent weeks in the west of the country, where there are still death squads roaming around," the diplomat said.
Mr Le Roy said the Ivory Coast continued to face huge humanitarian problems and warned that "the crisis is not over".
French forces were rumoured to have arrested Mr Gbagbo, a politically sensitive detail, but a spokesman for the French Licorne force angrily insisted that "there was not a single French soldier inside the residence when Laurent Gbagbo was arrested"
A brief story of Jesus culled & adapted from The Book of Matthew
Conception:before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.
NAMING CEREMONY:
Immanuel "God with us" note that he was named before he was born !
BIRTH
10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts . Gold, Frankinscence & myrrh
have you ever wondered why frankinscence or even myrh ? The Gold we all understand but then How much Gold did they bring ?
(Song to King David) You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows. All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. (Psalm 45:7-8)
What is this coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all scented powders of the merchant? Behold, it is the traveling couch of Solomon; sixty mighty men around it, of the mighty men of Israel. (Song of Solomon 3:6-7)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankincense
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrrh
Warning:
and being warned [of God] in a dream, they departed another way . (your wisemen will depart another way amen ! )
Prepare the way by JOHN THE BAPTist.
Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: 9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Baptism and confirmation
15 But Jesus answering said unto him, allow [it] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he allowed him.
Glorified: 16 And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him; 17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Temptation:
preparations:
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.
THE IF's OF THE WORLD vs THE WORD OF GOD
The enemy shows up: "If thou art the Son of God, command ,..."
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5
6 and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, ( trying to use the word against him eh ? ) He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written,
7 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. 8
Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Your words of power HAVE BEEN WRITTEN in the Bible. find them out now for it is written .
11 Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
John Hands over his ministry
His Ministry begins fully
16 the people that sat in darkness saw a great light, and to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, to them did light spring up. 17 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
REPENT !
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
1.Conception: you have been concieved .
2.Named: do you know your name
3.Birth: have you been born again
4.Baptism : have you been baptised ?
5.Glorified :Have you been glorified ?
6.Tempted: Have you been tempted or are still being tempted ? This is where many of us still ARE

Coming face to face with the knowledge that your spouse is cheating on you is one of the most painful things to happen in relationships. This could even be more destructive if you try to count the cost of what you’ve invested within your time of being together; denying yourself of some personal treats just to be sure the other person gets a fair share as well.
It may also interest you to know that some cheats think they are so discreet that you cannot, in any way, connect to the games they play but this doesn’t stop the fact that someone is being hurt and somehow, the truth would come to the fore.
Anna was recounting her emotional experience on her dying bed, while nurses could neither cry nor scream, following the fact she was one of them and well known for her marital commitment.
After lots of checks and tests to determine what was wrong with her health, the doctors decided she be brought to stay in the hospital for close monitoring but things still didn’t get any better.
The Spring Hospital where Anna was dying was on the other side of city where her husband could only go by cycling, finding a place to park was a serious challenge as lots of people went there to see and spend time with loved ones. Greg loved cycling but doing it so often within a short period became really hard. This time, he didn’t bother knocking on the door, just went inside instead to cool off his panting. His wife, snared in a bad dream, was breathing heavily and sounded like she was running for her life. That’s how he remembered her: always in motion, never still until sickness made her slow down and finally could only gaze at life with very little contribution.
Looking at Anna, you could tell she definitely had something to say but was too flabbergasted to do so. Each time she made an attempt, flood of tears would end the session and everyone kept thinking she was in severe pains for the ailment they couldn’t trace.
Rolling to the left side of the bed, she made a partial contact with Greg, who just walked in to the room and jeered a relief as she beckoned on her colleagues to come round. Then she began her confession: the truth about what was eating her health up so badly, pointing to her husband sitting by her side, she whispered, “he knows my pains, he put me in it and has refused to let me out.”
Amazed, questions poured in quick succession to make her explain what she said, but pain had eaten her up so much she could only say a few things: “Greg is cheating on me, he’s having an affair with my best friend who also works in this hospital. I was telling her so much about my marriage, the things I suspected Greg was doing (without tangible evidence) and she went ahead to become the reality of my suspicion. She knew all about my job schedule and any time I was at work, she’ll be with my husband and even pass the night in my home. One night, I took ill at work and decided to go home for a good night rest just to find out that Greg had a woman in our bedroom and it was my friend and colleague. Yes, it was painful but I agreed to let go and forgive both ends for the sake of peace, but Greg blatantly refused to stop the illicit affair, instead, he threatened to kill me the day I open my mouth to say it to anyone. He’s protecting his position in the society but my happiness was gone. Today, I speak for there’s little hope for me to live anyway. I have suffered in silence, I won’t also die in silence.”
How to spot a cheat
•When your spouse is overtly protective of his mails, phones and messages, you’ll be tempted to ask what he/she is hiding from a loved one. Dealing with this requires a lot of wisdom because as adults, we are entitled to privacy but when privacy poses strain on love, what should be done?
•Reduced communication is another subtle aspect of a wobbly relationship. People who talk freely may not be able to keep secret, so to fool the other party, there seem to be little communication. It’s often said that a man’s mouth is the window to his heart, if he keeps this window open, sooner or later, the world would know what lurks in the dark.
•Watch out for extremes: It’s totally impossible to cheat and remain the same. The culprit will either ever be making empty promises or talk about things you can do together in the future that however, somehow, never materialise. If you bring them up, there’ll be tons of excuses as to why they’re not possible, this is the negligent attitude. On the other hand, he/she might suddenly appear to be unnecessarily nice and supportive; totally blindfolding you to believe there’s so much love for you. Can you equate love with gifts and riches, no, love is meant to be for humans not material things.
Finding yourself in the position of being cheated could be horrible but would you let it destroy you like Anna ? No, it’s not necessary, talk about it, forgive, sit down together and work out how to move your relationship to a more romantic level, don’t let any parasite distract you, love is sweet.

You may be thinking that you do not need any instruction on how to cross your legs. Anyone can cross their legs, just by lifting one leg over the other whilst sitting down. This being so, I am still constantly amazed at how many women have no idea on the proper way to cross their legs. Let me correct this injustice.
The first thing I should say that a true lady does not cross her legs at all. She keeps both feet firmly on the floor. At the most, she may let her ankles cross, if this makes her feel more comfortable. There are practical reasons why she does not cross her legs. Crossed legs puts pressure on your heart, encourages slouching of the back, promotes development of varicose veins, and, most importantly, creates a risk of indecently exposing herself.
Now that you know that you should avoid crossing your legs whenever possible, let us face the reality that you probably do cross your legs and teach you how to do so whilst still maintaining your dignity, and portraying your feminine skills.
1. Before even contemplating crossing your legs, have a thought to what clothing you are wearing. If you are wearing pants, then you are not at risk, but if you are wearing a short or tight skirt, my strict advice is 'Don't even try!' There is no way to cross your legs without firstly drawing your legs apart and risking exposing yourself to those in front of you. If you are wearing a tight skirt, you will also struggle to look comfortable and find yourself twisting about in your seat.
2. So, you find yourself wearing a longer skirt, or pants, and you still want to cross your legs. The next step is that you know that a lady does not cross her legs in a way that her calf is laying sideways across her knee, thus causing a v-shape in her upper thighs. This is often the case with heavier set women, whose thighs will not allow them to cross one leg over the other, whilst still keeping their ankles relatively close together. The effect of both of these cases, is that you see women with their foot dangling out at some distance in front of their body. This is not ladylike and not acceptable for any woman who wants to be seen as a lady.
3.The natural way to cross your legs finds your feet sticking out at odd, or even opposite angles. The correct way for a lady to cross her legs is to have both legs angled to the same side. This gives a much more attractive image and avoids the possibility of you flashing your thigh to the people around you.
One thing that women do when crossing their legs, that is even worse that having their foot stick out in front of them, is to wiggle or bounce the hanging foot. A lady does not want to portray an image of having a nervous problem, or give the impression that she needs to use the washroom.
All of the things I talk about are just a part of a womans deportment training. No amount of money spent on clothing, hair, or make-up will make a woman appear like a lady, if she does not have the correct training to present herself in a feminine way. My teaching style is based on the system that our parents used to train us as children. In just a short time, my ladies in training soon walk with my admonitions in their head, such as "Don't slouch", "Head up high", until it becomes an integral part of their character. Ladies are not born, they are made, and they all have needed feminine guidance and support on their journey to becoming a lady.
