Where do we go from here? People Deceive People (PDP), 1985, IBB was the president of Nigeria and our teachers told us that Buhari was the former Head of state..Our teacher also called us "the leaders of tomorrow".. 27years later, IBB and Buhari are still contesting for Presidency..

Its either our teacher lied to us about being the leaders of tomorrow..Or tomorrow is yet to come.. Who's fooling who?

Some of us ran out of the country,Obasanjo went abroad chasing them,telling all nations to deport Nigerian youths. Let's stand and fight for our right cos we are the leaders of Today...

From strike in health sector, to the labour, to judiciary, to Education and today our students are home lavishing!

have they ever told d course b4, just to redirect attention.

Pataki: Fela must have been a prophet of some sort.

It is un-imaginable that a former aviation minister's corpse would be subjected to the shame and agony of an air crash. Let this be a clarion call to those in government yesterday and today, you cannot steal this nation dry and expect to live a good life. Where are the likes of Levi Ajuonuma of NNPC who kept on lying to Nigerians about fuel subsidy? Perished with the Dana Aircraft.

It is definitely not coincidental that on the third day after celebrating the 53rd independence of Nigeria, a former Nigerian aviation minister's dead body suffered an air crash.

this can b hw are prayers are bein answerd, unless all of them die, this country will continuie to sufer. No power, water ni, bad road, health, education, every sector is death, yet they are happy looting in billions. Imagin $15billion bribe by ibori. All of them devilish PDP, die die die. Obj, atiku, Gej, Ibb, ibori, anini, mark et al. Unrepentant fools. They will never have peace.

lucarella: I'm sorry but aren't you useless? I can't pray for this to happen to my enemy. Are you sure you came out from a woman?

hw can he b useless, innocent nigerians die everyday on road accident. this people only kn looting, good for them.

fembukin: i am very sorry to say this i didn't pity Agagu he was once a minister of aviation and he has a chance to make things work in the industry but it has come back to hurt him even in his death

redsun: What was the need for a plane to carry dead from lagos to ondo, a two hours journey? Just a way of wasting tax payers money and distancing themselves from common nigerians who perishes and conveys dead on those death trap roads everyday.

good . People shud b celebratin tht this PDP heartless fools are dyin.innocent nigerians die Everyday on bad road, power, common polio n they keep on lootin. Good for them n a lesson 2d rest.

He worths it.

So sAd. But we serve a merciful God tht will forgive them once they pray. So, u kn my guess.

Nigeria remains a failure wit gej at d head. Clueless n brainless. a regreat to nigerian history.

So intrestin.

Strike action is nw everywhere

Just pray our politicians can learn

That shows more hw people are bein deceived by these men of god. Church remains a bussiness ent.

It is sometimes believed that someone’s financial worth can be deduced from the car they drive. Although somewhat popular, this assertion has been rubbished by the world’s youngest billionaire, co-founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.

Some of his contemporaries or multi-millionaires and billionaires drive Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Aston Martins and Bugatti Veyrons, which come with hefty price tags running into hundreds of thousands of dollars and even millions.

Zuckerberg, 29, and currently worth $19bn, according to Forbes, drives an Acura TSX and a Honda Fit, which cost about $30,000 and $18,000, respectively.

His Acura TSX, is an entry level luxury sedan which uses a 2.4 litre in-line 4 cylinder engine. It can churn out 201 hp and 172 lb-ft torque and has a 5 -speed automatic transmission, which comes with steering-wheel paddle shifters for optional manual shifting. The car is quite packed with luxury features like leather interior, automatic climate control, a seven-speaker sound system, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth and HandsFreeLink.

Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984 in White Plains, New York, to Edward Zuckerberg, a dentist, and Karen (née Kempner), a psychiatrist. Even though, he was raised Jewish, Zuckerberg had since described himself as an atheist. As a junior student, Zuckerberg won prizes in science (mathematics, astronomy and physics) and classical studies. While most of his mates were busy playing games as young students, Zuckerberg was creating them.

In his early teens he created a music player named Synapse – as a school project – using some help from a friend, which used artificial intelligence to understand one’s taste in music and created a playlist accordingly. Software bigwigs like Microsoft and AOL tried to buy it and even recruit Mark. But he refused both. Instead, he went to Harvard in 2002. On February 4, 2004, with the help of his room mates, Dutsin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, and using the finance provided by another friend, Eduardo Saverin, he launched what was then called, The Facebook. It was an instant hit, and soon made Mark the next big thing.

On September 14, 2012, Facebook hit 1 billion users, a remarkable feat for a company that started in Zuckerberg’s dormitory room while he was at Harvard. Zuckerberg later dropped out of Harvard in his second year to concentrate on his project.

If you think  that Zuckerberg’s home will suggest his enormous wealth, you are mistaken. The American computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur owns a house in Palo Alto , California, which is his first property investment. But prior to this, he had always stayed in rented apartment. Zuckerberg lives in the house with his wife, Priscilla Chan. The young billionaire is known to be a fan of renting and a relatively modest lifestyle.

The house sits in the area of 5,1617-square-foot, was originally built in 1903. Since the house is of historic times, it boasts gorgeous historical elements, like sash windows, coffered ceilings, French doors, and deep porches. The 5-bedroom house was bought for $7m. Although the house is grand, it is still considered modest, compared to the residences of Zuckerberg’s other IT contemporaries.

Zuckerberg and his wife reportedly bought a new house in San Francisco for almost $10m recently, but the couple have neither confirmed nor denied the mansion, said to be undergoing reconstruction.

The work includes a $65,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel, a $60,000 greenhouse and the replacement of an exterior wall and stairway, plus seismic upgrades.

Zuckerberg does not own a private jet, but Facebook authorised its CEO and COO to use private aircraft for business purposes to maximise such executives’ productive time and ensure their quick availability. On some occasions, the jet could also be used for personal purposes.

On May 19, 2012, Zuckerberg got married to his long time college sweetheart, Priscilla, in an astonishing ceremony at his Palo Alto home in California . The propitious wedding was kept behind the curtains in such a way that even the guests thought they were attending Priscilla’s graduation from the Univeristy of California.

Zuckerberg announced the nuptial on his social networking site ‘Facebook’, via a status update, posting his wedding picture which was liked by more than 280,000 people. Just a day before the wedding, Facebook’s fortune rose to £12bn in the stock market.

Facebook Inc CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has begun a campaign to make the United States government more transparent in its surveillance programmes.

Zuckerberg said more openness regarding the secretive programmes were required because they had been hurting users’ trust in Internet companies such as his.

During a meeting with members of Congress last week in Washington, the 29-year-old social media billionaire urged the US government to inform the public about its requests for data from Internet companies.

He said, “What I can tell from the data that I see at Facebook is that I think the more transparency and communication the government could do about how they’re requesting the data from us, the better everyone would feel about it.

“From reading in the media, you couldn’t get a sense whether the number of requests that the government makes is closer to a thousand or closer to a 100 million. I think the more transparency the government has, the better folks will feel.”
