The callous and unscrupulous behaviour of Mr. Bayo Senayon knew no bounds. As Manager, Human Resources and Administration of a big manufacturing company, his notoriety brought the department to disrepute so much that almost all workers, at least those who had not been caught by his tentacles, held his person and office in disdain and tried as much as possible to stay out of his way. This was because he had the ears of top management, such that several reports against his conducts were flung into the waste basket.

The condom is the most popular form of contraception. This is because it is the only contraception so far that combines the function of prevention of pregnancy with prevention of STDs at a go.

One guy said if it was true that women have sex for all the reasons mentioned, then, they have enough reasons to have sex almost every day.
