eGuerrilla:

You'd have to be a bed ridden, geriatric politician in Nigeria before your senility can ever be called into question.
As long as you are "breathing fire"; "storming conventions"; and/or "issuing directives from palatial mansions" all is generally considered well grin

Ruling party elders:
Anenih - 80
Clarke - 85
Tukur - 78
Obasanjo - 76
Babangida - 72


look at their age... and they say we youths are the leader of tommorrow.

Family / Nigerian Ladies Worry Over Scarcity Of Men by adwem2003(m): 5:30pm On Sep 06, 2013
The recent alarm raised by the Catholic Women Organisation that husbands would become scarce in Nigeria in 2023 may just be right as P.M.NEWS can confirm that many Nigerian spinsters are currently witnessing the no-husband syndrome.
Within the last few weeks, some of the ladies who spoke with our correspondent reported serious apprehension, pressure and a total lack of peace as the consequence of their inability to get married.
One of the ladies, who preferred to be simply called Titi said she had taken the issue of marriage as a do-or-die affair due to “internal pressure” but that as much as she had tried, frustration had often been the result.
At 37, the businesswoman who sells clothes in Ikeja, the Lagos State capital in western Nigeria, told P.M.NEWS that she is not finding life easy.
“What is happiness without a man in a woman’s life?”she asked our correspondent during a chat on Badoo, a relationship site on the internet.
She had dated several men with some promising marriage, but without fulfilling the promise.
“You can’t imagine that in the last three years, I have dated about eight men, but the relationship was often short-lived simply because I ask for their commitment.
“I am not getting any younger and I cry every time I see my mates with their husbands and children.
“If at 37 I don’t have a child or a permanent man, when would I have them? Is it when my skin has wrinkled? she asked our correspondent.
Chioma (surname withheld), 35, has found herself patronising many of the social interaction sites on the internet.
The banker told our correspondent that she is on Eskimi, 2go, Badoo, Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter as well as 4clique, a site that was launched in Nigeria days ago.
“We can’t tell the particular broom in the bunch that kills a fly,” she told P.M.NEWS on why she patronises such number of social interaction sites.
“I always change my name in the different sites but the ultimate goal is to get a husband,” she added.
Chioma told P.M.NEWS that she is really worried about the situation, adding that she lives comfortably (in a mini-flat and has a car), “but who do I have to enjoy this comfort with me?
“I have tried a hook up programme on a Lagos-based radio station, but my age is now a major factor hindering my dream of being married,” she lamented pleading with our married correspondent, who she considered a bachelor, to “help dry my tears.”
A married woman, who gave her name as Mrs. Blessing Aguebor and resident in Oshodi, confirmed that the issue of lack of serious men for marriage is giving many ladies sleepless nights.
She narrated the touching story of her friend who was disappointed by her boyfriend of five years when it was time to “settle down”.
“My friend was 29 when he met this man in Benin and they dated for five years. The man was always giving the lady hope without her knowing the man had other plans. The year he fixed for their marriage was the year he travelled abroad without even informing my friend.
“It was later he called her and asked her to find another man because he still had many more years to hustle. My friend almost went mad.
“She is 36 now without a man. I had to convince her to relocate to Lagos so that possibly out of the population here, she would find someone. It is pathetic,” she said.
A 38-year old business woman in Ketu, Mrs. Rita Adewunmi, narrated how she lost her first husband to a friend, Idayat, who was desperate for a husband.
According to Mrs. Adewunmi who remarried last year, Idayat was 36 and needed a husband but her search was endless.
“I was always encouraging her and made her a part of my family. She would always help me take care of the kids when I go to the market.
“With time, she took over my husband without my knowledge until the day I caught them red-handed and that was the end of my marriage. Ladies are like hunters these days,” she said.
Asked why she was not married at 34, Blessing Osuoha, a nurse with a private hospital in Abuja, retorted: “that is why I’m on this social site. Why are you asking? Is it a bad idea if you propose to me?”
She explained that life was becoming unbearable without a husband.
“My friends and family members are aways asking when they would come and ‘chop’ rice, and I keep hoping,” she added.
A marriage counsellor in Lagos, Mrs. Victoria Aliu, told P.M.NEWS that scarcity of ‘real men’ is becoming a terrible condition for women ready for marriage.
She blamed the problem partly on the Nigerian economy, confusion among the bachelors on their choices of the women they want as wives and the attitudes of the spinsters.
“Many women, whether consciously or not, behave irritably sometimes, forgetting that the man just beside them at every point in time may just have been nursing how to start a conversation that could lead to marriage.
“Some other ladies are very choosy and unserious at their early stages of adulthood. They only open their eyes to discover that their friends are all married and that they are the only ones left at the bus stop. Then it becomes a terrible case for them,” she explained.
Health / Lagos Bus Drivers Use Cocaine —fashola Raises Alarm by adwem2003(m): 5:19pm On Sep 06, 2013
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, has raised alarm that commuter bus drivers in the state now take cocaine and engage in other substance abuse, warning that it is a dangerous trend that is akin to taking a gamble with people’s lives. He said this must stop.
According to the governor, at least 162 bus drivers in two motor parks in the state tested positive for cocaine and marijuana while 996 others in three parks were found to be driving under the influence of excessive alcohol.
Fashola made this known on Thursday during a Motor Park Health and Safety Awareness Campaign organised by the State Ministries of Health and Transportation in partnership with Guinness Nigeria Plc. The event took place at the New Garrage Motor Park, Bariga.
According to Fashola, tests conducted on 988 bus drivers at Oyingbo Motor Park revealed that 59 drivers tested positive for cocaine while another test conducted on bus drivers at Iyana Ipaja Motor Park showed that out of the 1,025 drivers tested, 103 of them tested positive for cocaine and marijuana.
He explained further that 884 motor drivers were screened at Ojota Motor Park, where 239 of them, representing 27% of those screened, were hypertensive, while 86 people representing 10% of those screened were found to be diabetic; 60 drivers representing 7% tested positive to substance abuse, and 287 people representing 32% of those screened had excessive blood alcohol level.
At the Oyingbo motor park campaign, 988 people were tested out of which 363 or 37% of the people were hypertensive; 156 or 16% had diabetes, 59 or 6% tested positive for cocaine or marijuana, and 494 or 50% tested positive for alcohol.
While at the campaign at Iyana Ipaja motor park, 1,025 people were screened and 162 people or 16% had hypertension, 71 people or 7% had diabetes, 103 or 10% tested positive for cocaine or marijuana and 215 or 21% had excessive alcohol in their blood system, he disclosed.
Fashola said since the inception of the campaign in 2011, at least 2,500 public transportation and commuter vehicle drivers had been screened for blood alcohol content, substance abuse, hypertension and diabetes as well as health education and enlightenment.
The governor added that the latest campaign at the New Garage Motor Park, Bariga which started on Tuesday had the drivers being tested for high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer screening and providing counselling and guidance for all the park operators and drivers in the park.
“Let us resolve today that we will stop taking a gamble with our lives. Every time you cross the highway, every time you drink Alomo and Paraga, every time you get behind the steering wheels with drugs in your system, it is like putting a loaded gun to one’s head and wondering if it can kill or not. It is a huge risk to take and we should stop taking that risk,” said Fashola, who was represented by his deputy, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire.
Fashola urged commuter vehicle drivers to desist from taking alcohol, drugs or other related substance before going behind the wheel, stressing that evidence abounded that road traffic accidents were influenced and precipitated by substance abuse which impair driver’s ability to manage and manipulate a vehicle well.
He noted that the Motor Park Health and Safety Awareness Campaign Programme was an initiative of his administration to raise awareness about responsible consumption of alcohol and initiate change in attitude among motor park drivers.
“The aim of the initiative is to reduce road traffic accidents, thereby ensuring the safety of drivers, passengers and other road users. The campaign is also aimed at increasing awareness about mental health and what can be done not only to prevent it but also to cure it. It is part of the composite health care plan for the sustainability of our people as well as improving their life expectancy rate,” he explained.
Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa, urged drivers to dislodge drug and alcohol hawkers from their parks and also cautioned against substance and alcohol abuse, adding that abuse of these controlled drugs was responsible for the high rate of road traffic accidents.
He noted that the Drivers’ Institutes located in Epe, Ikorodu, Oshodi, Ikeja and Lagos Island were built to train motorists both private and public, about techniques, driving methods and driving habits.
Opeifa added that the state government would from 1 October, 2013 begin the enforcement of accreditation of all professional and commuter vehicle drivers, stressing that any commuter vehicle driver that does not have certification of the Drivers’ Institute would not be allowed to operate in the state.

What has all that brought to the development of Nigeria and African as a whole?
What positive change has happened so far?
Hiv rate is High. Mortality rate is climbing. Poverty rate is higher. Illiteracy rate is super, and no hope for the future.
20 years of prayer convention, holy ghost congress, and yet things keep deteriorating..
Is it not time to wake up from religious 419ners?
