If you must, should you ask the couple or not?
If you are getting married and you are asked this question would you agree?

WHY OR WHY NOT?

Uche when they dated Uche denies being financially dependent on Ikechukwu Uche while they dated Nollywood actress, Uche Jombo, who recently celebrated her fourth wedding anniversary with her Puerto Rican husband, Kenney Rodriguez, has refuted claims she was financially dependent on ex-boyfriend Ikechukwu Uche. Speaking with Kehinde Bankole of Broadway Africa recently, the ‘Wives on Strike’ actress said. ‘It’s always insulting to me, that line of thought, because even while I was in that relationship, I had members of his family think some of my cars were his…. and he has never given me money, which he knows. Never!’, she emphatically stated. school, not just me, even my younger ones. So, I have always been my own person, I have never needed a man to define me and I have always known that whoever I ended up with is the lucky one. ‘When I walked out of that relationship and said I was done, I wasn’t interested in what anybody was saying. I was done. At a point I said to myself, I would rather invest this time in me and in my company.‘ Uche recently celebrated her fourth wedding anniversary with her husband, Kenney She however had affectionate words to say about her husband of four years. ‘When I met Kenny and I saw the relationship he had with his mum, I totally knew he was husband material. The way you treat your mum tells a girl how you can treat her,’ she recalled. ‘If you don’t have respect for your mum, you’re never ever going to have respect for your wife.’ The popular actress and Kenney are blessed with a child.

Today marks 1 year of APC in government and I've not seen them create 200 jobs not to talk of 3,000,000 jobs in a year.

Have we been scammed?

If you've seen/know any job created by them please let us know.

1. He tends to choose a place where you are always in front of his sight
If he has many options but always chooses to sit or be at a spot where he can easily and silently watch you, then, ‘ahem ahem’, there is a possibility that he likes you! Does that happen in your case? Well if it does, the shy
guy is into you signs are at their beginning!

2. There is frequent eye contact
You always notice him watch you, and then, when you look back at him, he pretends to look behind you or starts looking elsewhere, like the floor for
example! That seems to be their favorite spot for escape. This is the topmost among the signs a shy guy likes you! When he is caught looking at you, he pretends to look behind you or past you, then notice carefully, he is still looking at you! You can make out from his eyes that he wasn’t just looking at you, he was watching you. Tosyne2much is guilty of this,always making eye contact with the girl down his street.

3. His body language is different towards you
Notice the body language. He is all cool and open with others, but, when it comes to you, he turns out to be very quiet, shy, hesitant and reluctant to be friendly with
you. Now, you will tend to misunderstand this as if the guy is trying to ignore you and that the guy doesn’t like you. But he is
madly head over heels for you! That’s why he can’t get the courage to speak to you or even look at you.

4. Ends up asking dumb questions
It’s not that he is going to purposely try to start a
conversation with you, but if (unfortunately or fortunately for him) a situation occurs wherein he needs to say something, he just
ends up asking a dumb open ended question!! and when you give a reply (figuring out in your mind what was he meaning to ask you), he just stays quiet and
takes an excuse from you after a period of silence. Bottom line is, if he is not able to start a conversation with you, but has no intentions to end it too, he definitely likes you. Don’t forget to notice the smile on his face and the glitter in his eyes. The guy will
be blushing all the time he is around you.

5. Bumps into you all the time
You end up seeing him almost everywhere you go! You can’t miss out on this sign because it
cannot be a coincidence. I mean do you expect him to be at all the places that you visit, at the same time as yours and then
believe it to be coincidence? Wake up! This is a sure sign that he likes you and that’s why he's following your schedule so that you
notice him and that he doesn’t get to miss a chance to observe you closely! (So sweet)

6. Becomes loud so that you notice him
As I mentioned earlier, he will make sure that you are within his line of vision wherever he sits or settles, be it school, workplace or
social gatherings. He is too scared to tell it to you on your face, but within, he wants your attention desperately! So, while he is
talking to his friends, colleagues, he will try to be a little louder than required so that your attention goes to him, even if for a minute, at least you noticed him, didn’t you?

7. You are his all time favorite topic
If he can’t stop talking about you to his close friends and can go on and on and on with it, he is definitely got the hots for you! If
you guys happen to have some common friends, check with them. It might surprise you that the shy guy is attracted to you signs are genuine and that you are the only
one in his mind and he is desperate to enter your heart!

8. He does small and sweet gestures
One of the signs a shy guy likes you is the small favors and gestures that he will do for you
even when they are not required. For Example, he will help you pick up things that you might have dropped. Or may be compliment you each and every time, even
when not required.

9. He gets uncomfortable when other guys talk to you
If you are still confused as to how to tell if a shy guy likes you, this can be the sign to look for, and he is totally, surely, madly into you, and that’s why he can’t even bear the sight of you being with
someone else! There is this feeling of insecurity in his mind that someone else might just sweep you away from him, and so he gets all uncomfortable and weird.

10. Avoid you in the group: The next sign to check for is this
If you and your ‘shy guy’ happens to be in one group, and he ends
up talking to everyone but YOU, don’t think that he hates you. It’s an obvious sign that he has feelings for you and that he gets
paranoid and shaky from the thought of even talking to you. I know it’s weird, but I don’t know what makes the shy guys think
that girls are unapproachable.

President Muhammadu Buhari has said
that 11,595 persons held captive by
Boko Haram sect since his emergence
as president, have regained their
freedom, The Punch reports.
According to him, the military has
regained all territories hitherto occupied
by the sect.
These were contained in a document
tagged “Fact sheet on President
Muhammadu Buhari’s first year in office”
and made available to journalists by the
Office of the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity.
President Buhari has said that 11,595
persons held captive by Boko Haram sect
since his emergence as president, have
regained their freedom.
The document highlighted the
achievements of the administration
under categories such as security, anti-
corruption war, economy, power,
environment and judiciary among
others.
The statement read in part, “The
relocation of the Nigerian Military
Command Centre to Maiduguri, since May
2015, contributed to the success in the
fight against insurgency in the North
Eastern part of the country.
“As of February 2016, the total number
of persons rescued by the Nigerian
troops during the ongoing operations in
the North-East came to 11,595.
“Since December 2015, the well-
motivated and rejuvenated Nigerian
military have regained all Nigerian
territories previously under Boko Haram
control.”
On anti-corruption war, the statement
said although the campaign was gaining
ground with several high profile cases
already in the courts.
The statement read “In March 2016, the
Federal government and the Swiss
government signed a Letter of Intent on
the Restitution of Illegally-Acquired
Assets forfeited in Switzerland.
“Under the agreement, Switzerland will
repatriate $321m illicitly acquired by the
Gen. Sani Abacha family.
“In March 2016, the Presidential
Committee set up to probe contracts
awarded by the Office of the National
Security Adviser from 2011 to 2015
announced the recovery of over N7bn
from indicted companies and
individuals.”
On economy, the government said the
implementation of the Treasury Single
Account has provided greater visibility of
government revenues and cash flows. It
said between June 2015 and April 2016,
the Federal Government’s TSA collection
clocked N3trn.
“To further instill fiscal discipline,
President Buhari directed the closure of
all multiple accounts in Ministries,
Departments and Agencies of
government, thereby plugging loopholes
for leakages with new technology.
“The opaque accounting structure of the
NNPC has been reconstructed to be more
transparent with the closure of more
than 40 accounts.
“As a corporate entity, NNPC is now
accountable and more transparent in
operations, publishing its monthly
financial reports.
“The President also resolved the
lingering shadowy oil swap deals that
had cost the country billions of dollars
and left it at the mercy of a few rich
Nigerians.
“To alleviate the suffering of Nigerians in
September 2015, President Buhari
directed the Central Bank of Nigeria to
disburse N689.5bn as bailout to 27
states of the federation to pay salaries.
“To stimulate the economy and reduce
poverty, in April, 2016, President Buhari
approved deferment in the payment of
the bailout as states were still reeling
under the burden of the fall in
commodity prices.
“Records of more than 34,000 ghost
workers draining the nation’s resources
were expunged from the Federal Civil
Service, saving N2.29bn monthly.”

A female student in the Department of
Library Science, Faculty of Education, Bayero
University Kano (BUK), has ended her life by
taking an insecticide.
She left a suicide note saying that she has
failed to meet a dateline for the registration
of an elective course.
In the note she said, “I will not apply for
course suspension my academics is all I live
for, if I can’t get it right, f**k existing.”
The student, Sarah Imoleaya Ighidabo, from
Edo State, failed an elective course unit in
the faculty of sciences after missing
examinations and was made to repeat the
course. Ms Ighidalo had passed all her major
courses in Library Science.
But by missing registration of her elective
course, meant that she was not enrolled for
the course during the semester and had to
retake the course next year.
However, on Thursday May 12, 2016, the
deceased went to the faculty’s office to see
if anything could be done about her case,
but she found out that it was too late to
make any amends.
Consequently, she became restless, left the
office and descended the stairs to where
she had kept her bag. There, she was said to
have written a suicide note and brought out
a container of Sniper insecticide used mostly
in driving away soil borne pests and drank
it. She left her mobile phone, charger,
suicide note, her bag and the container
under the staircase and returned to the
office.
A source in the Computer Science
Department told Daily Trust that soon after
the student was told that her registration
for the course was incomplete due to a late
registration, she left the office without
talking to anybody.
The source added that it seemed the
student had already planned the suicide
even before she encountered some
challenges in the process of her registration.
“She drank the insecticide under the
staircase and left the container, her
handbag, phone charger and other
belongings in a hidden corner,” the source
said.
“When she returned to the office, she began
to complain of a chest pain and, in no time,
she lost her consciousness. She was then
rushed to the university clinic.
“But the problem was beyond the university
clinic and she was taken to AKTH (Aminu
Kano Teaching Hospital) and that was where
she died,” said the source.
Immediately after the incidence occurred,
the news went round the campuses and
sent the faculty into a state of shock.
Daily Trust gathered that by the time that the
news of her death filtered out, the empty
container of the Sniper, her handbag,
registration forms, bank payment receipts
and phone charger were discovered by
some students under the staircase.
The registration forms contained her name,
registration number (Edu/12/LIS/00195),
mode of entry, which is Direct Entry (DE),
date of birth (01/01/1970), local
government of origin (Etsako East local
government) and her state of origin, Edo
State.
The forms also contained her home address
(Yelwa Television, Kaduna), her marital
status, (single) and her next of kin.
Philomena Umoru was stated as her
mother’s name. She resides in the same area
in Kaduna.
The student’s payment form of N29, 000 in
the First Bank of Nigeria, Kuje branch, also
contained her phone number and email
address.
On the top of the form and at its bottom, a
hand writing indicating: “Library &
Information Science LIS4205,” was seen.
At the back of one of the two forms, the
student wrote a message that read: “I will
not apply for course suspension. My
academic is all I live for. If I can’t get it right,
Bleep existing.”
Daily Trust learnt that a similar message was
found in her room outside the campus.
Sources told Daily Trust that, already, the
university management had received an
interim report about the incidence from the
concerned head of department.
The university’s authority, it was gathered, is
still investigating the incidence.
Efforts to reach the Director Public Affairs
Ahmed Shehu were not successful. He sent a
text message saying he was in a meeting.
When contacted by phone, the Police Public
Relations Officer, Kano State Command,
Deputy Superintendent Musa Majia said the
University authorities have reported the
case to police on Monday and that the
Commissioner, Alhaji Maigari Abbati had
ordered the transfer of the case to the
Criminal Investigation Department for
further inquiry.

– The media was recently awash with stories of discord in the cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari.

– Those fingered in the report were minister of transport; Rotimi Amaechi and minister of state for aviation; Hadi Sirika.

– Sirika has now opened up on the
rumours that has circulated wide in the media.
Nigeria’s minister of state for aviation, Captain Hadi Sirika has opened up on the media reports that he had a row with the minister of transportation, Rotimi
Amaechi.

Minister of state for aviation, Captain Hadi Sirika Sirika who spoke on the issue for the
first time while receiving the national president of the Air Transport Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSAN), Mr Benjamin Okeowo on a courtesy call, said the rumour was the handiwork of
mischief makers.

He said: “The social media said that I and the minister are fighting but that is not true. The fact that there are no pictures
of me at airports, offices and agencies under aviation is based on my personal choice.
“I believe that my photo will not give Nigerians anything, rather, it is my actions that will. I don’t need my pictures on walls. They were there before but I ordered that they be removed. Photo will
not give us good airports and runways, rather good governance and that is my challenge and target.

“Having pictures everywhere as far as I am concerned is very trivial, unnecessary and it is not my style. My pictures should
be put on walls when I have worked.
Having my pictures on walls is not the major reason why I was appointed to serve. My dream is to change the industry for better and when that is done, then my pictures can be put
everywhere.”
The minister however used the
opportunity to express his thoughts that the ministry of transportation should be
merged with the ministry of works.
“For me, I think the merger ought to even go a step further than what it is today. The merger is between aviation and transportation but for me, I think
the ministry of transportation should still carry Federal Ministry of Works and certain critical aspects.
“Why works, because if you remove environment, lands and housing from works, what will remain is highways and
highways like waterways and airways are all ways and they are under transportation,” Sirika said.

On his part, the ATSSAN chairman
lamented that the merger of aviation and transportation ministry has led to less
efficiency in the aviation sector.
He said: “Government has come out with their policy on merger of aviation and transport but we must say that as stakeholders, the merger is not favouring us because there is so many
delay we are seeing as a result of this merger. Things are not taking proper shape and things are not done with speed as it is expected of the aviation industry.
“Honestly, we thought policies are to ensure efficiency but we are not getting that efficiency. It is like the policy is expanding the bureaucracy and that for
us is not good for the aviation industry.”

Meanwhile, a recent report in the media stated that Amaechi is currently having a running battle over a loan he took from a new generation bank, even as he has
threatened to sue the bank.
The report further stated that Amaechi took the loan to finance his purchase of a priced property on Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja, Lagos.

Nigerian parents expect their
daughters to get married someday.

However, one thing they are
particular about is the kind of man
their daughter(s) bring home as a
future husband.
With more than 250 ethnic groups with Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa leading the pack, the expectations may be different but they are interwoven and almost similar. These presumptions are largely influenced by culture, religion, heritage, and exposure of the families involved. This said, a
would-be or prospective son-in-
law should take note of the
following tips shared if he wants to be accepted by a prospective bride’s parents as in Nigeria, and the African continent at large, a parent’s blessing and endorsement of a marriage is
important.

He must be able to care for himself
No parent will allow their daughter to ‘marry’ a man who cannot take care of himself. Everything about their relationship is hinged on love
rather than the man’s ability to
take of the family he will raise. In
fact, only a handful of women
today will take that kind of man to her parents. Nigerian parents do not demand much. He should have a reliable means of livelihood or survival enough to take care of the bride.

Respectful
Yorubas value respect. This is an
aspect of the culture they do not
toy with. Even if the parents accept you, the family members will never.
They will always point it out
especially if it is obvious. However,
you do not need to worry much if
you not marrying a Yoruba girl.
However, this does not allow a
would-be son-in-law to treat the
parents with disdain.

Dress Responsibly
Laced ears, plaited hair, sagged
trousers and blinks will simply get
you fired as a son-in-law. You
should dress the way you want to
be addressed. In summary, dress
responsibly. If that’s your style, try
as much as possible to shelve it
whenever you are visiting your
bride’s parents. By the way, don’t
let her parents catch you dressing
like a gangster, they will not
hesitate to tongue lash you.

Religiously Consciously
Some parents may not be too keen on this. Despite this, whether you are a Muslim or a Christian, you should be religiously upright.
Nigerians are one of the most
religious black nation in the world.
They expect their daughter to
marry into a pious home.

No Wife Battery
Wife battery is now prevalent in
the Nigerian society. In time past,
this wasn’t the case. Today, there
have been several reports of
domestic violence with women
bearing the brunt. So, parents
always try to enquire from their
daughters to assure them that
their prospective son-in-law is not
prone to wife battery.

Enough said....

Gala and Lacasera This has been another form of saving students. During my ND days you need to see how Bottles of Lacasera and leathers of gala litter our lecture class.

Bread Nigerian student resort to bread both in good and bad times. It is like the holy grail of university life, sometimes they
spice it up with butter, tea, groundnut or soft drink.
If toh sey bread dey grow for person head I for don get forest of bread for my head. It is well.
