Why not? The dude still owes them 4 months salary meanwhile he went on a wild goose chase to China with tax payers money

Adieu colleagues!

You're infering that they died because of 4 months salary being owed them.
I thought you're a medical doctor. This is a sober moment , please.

If she refuses to forgive her father, nobody is judging her.
My point about forgiveness is that it is good for her physical and spiritual wellbeing. So, it might be very hard to do; but it is still in her best interest to forgive.

The man Dino Melaye promised that he would work for the reduction of the pay and allowances of the Nigerian national assembly.

He also rejected wardrobe allowance for members of the national assembly.

Then he clarifies why the lawmakers are yet to effect a reduction in their pay and allowances.

http://www.tori.ng/news/6558/senator-dino-melaye-explains-why-lawmakers-have-re.html

So, for him to say that he would die for Saraki should not elicit condemnation. Saraki is just an accused who, unless found guilty by a court of law, is presumed innocent.
Even our president said that he won't sack any of his ministers who may undergo trial, unless the court has convicted such a person.

sarzy:
Without sentiments, crimes are everywhere. But here's the thing: other tribes MOSTLY commit crimes in their own land. Only a few outside of their land. The guy above is siting examples of Yorubas butchering people in Ogun. Cases like this do not spoil the reputation of a country outside. See boko haram for example, it is confined to northern Nigeria despite the fact that terrorism is a global menace.
But Igbos enjoy committing crimes outsides of Nigeria hence dragging the name "Nigeria" to the mud. This is why people hate Nigerians in other countries. Ask Nigerians in the diaspora the kind of stigmatization they face! Most of the fraudulent crimes committed by Nigerians abroad are by Igbos. Don't be offended bro, but this is the truth!

I agree with you on many crimes outside Nigeria been perpetrated by Igbo. But you don't have the yardstick for measuring that.
Please, I don't support crimes and criminals. If they offend the laws of any nation they should be dealt with according to the laws of the nations where the crime was committed.
But saying it's only Igbo people that commit crime outside Nigeria is not an honest statement. Other tribes commit crimes in the UK, South Africa and US .

sarzy:
Honestly bro, this country has a bad reputation outside because of those guys. Nigeria would have been known as a corrupt-free country if Igbos weren't among us. This is exactly why I want them to leave for their country. But they have already spoilt the name of this country even if they leave.

Just scroll up to see crimes committed by other Nigerians. And they aren't Igbo.

That is an interpretation. Different people seeing the same video will come out with different interpretations. Unless there is a disgrace machine that can tell us accurately that he disgraced himself and to what measure then we are merely wasting time.
Saraki has no lawful alternatives but first to see this process through and then take any grievances about procedure etc forward to appeal. That is the pragmatic way forward. I regret you are very sensitive and easily insulted even where none is intended. Native speakers of English perhaps understand the language differently from non native speakers.That is not easily remedied.........

Dear Sir,
I respect your views. But I want you to know that the whole trial of Saraki is mere political. This administration is not yet readyto fight corruption. When It is ready, we will know. Nobody would be spared.

IamPatriotic:
A quick glance at the names of the "eminent lawyers" should tell one where they're coming from, men of dishonour and apostles of corruption camouflaging as statesmen to act as clogs in the wheel of progress of this government, it won't work, because the Buhari's has the support of the majority of Nigerians, so there's nothing the insignificant 5% and cohorts can do other than living with the fact.

And you are an apostles of integrity, abi? I could remember Nwabueze and fellow patriots asking former president Jonathan not to contest the 2015 general election.

odikimi:
pls sir, I think I hate the man Saraki more than you. You won't know what I am saying, but this is the reason I decided to be a lawyer. There is what is called presumption of innocence that is why, those BH people are referred to as suspects. It pains my heart that fair trial seems alien to u guys. I hate violation of fair hearing. It could happen to you one day when you have issue with rich man.

I concur, sir!

Danladi Umar wont appear, your lord & saviour will be docked everyday..... Some of the more "powerful" than the country"s laws & conventions can;

A..Leave their primary assignments for daily excursions in the court & miss sittings which is "punishable"..

OR

B.. Face what they were sent to do & also forestall any opportunity by the anti saraki caucus of making an impeachment move & succeeding behind them....

Either ways Saraki is technically out cos he can't abstain , since he will not even want to take the risk of court contempt which may entail being remanded in custody which he certainly does NOT WANT..

Just take heart, Crookola Saratiff has been effectively cornered!!

From your submissions here, you have already judged and condemned Saraki, even before trial.

Different folks manage anger in different ways. Before taking his final decision, the bobo should reflect on what value she has added to his life all these while they were dating.
But for the lady react like that without investigation shows lack of trust on her part.
If eventually the bobo refuses to accept her back, then she has played into the hands of those mischief makers, who might after all be full of deadly ambitions to snatch the bobo from her.

Montgomery County correctional officer charged with handling inmate


By Dan Morse April 12  

A Montgomery County correctional officer was charged Tuesday with handling an inmate in her cell — a case put together in part by linking the correctional officer’s DNA with a sample taken from the inmate’s skin, according to court records.

Omotunde Rauf Sanusi, 40, was arrested at the jail Tuesday morning. He faces charges of third-degree sex offense, second-degree assault, malfeasance in office and sexual contact between a correctional officer and an inmate.

He was processed at the jail and released on a $150,000 bond, according to court records.

Sanusi will be placed on administrative leave without pay pending further action in the matter, said Robert Green, director of the county’s Department of Correction and Rehabilitation.

“This obviously is conduct that we will not accept in our system,” Green said.

 Montgomery County Police charged county correctional officer Omotunde Rauf Sanusi with handling an inmate in her cell. (Montgomery County Police)

In charging documents, detectives alleged that on Sept. 28, at 1 p.m., the 23-year-old inmate awoke to the sound of Sanusi opening her cell door and saying, “Hey.”

She stood up from her bed, at which point Sanusi complimented part of her anatomy, fondled her and kissed her, according to the charging documents.

“Sanusi then turned and exited the cell,” detectives wrote.

The inmate, who is serving time in a drug case, reported the incident to another correctional officer, who told his supervisor, who contacted county police, according to court records.

Part of the inmate’s body was swabbed for DNA, as was her jumpsuit.

Detectives also watched surveillance video. It showed Sanusi going into the inmate’s cell.

“The video also shows Sanusi waking two other inmates located in their cells, through the door slot,” detectives wrote, adding that Sanusi never went into their cells and only went into the victim’s cell.

patwilly:
Schrödinger's equation in my 300level electrical engineering material course burnt some brain cells I haven't recovered till date. You stood the risk of being abnormal at the end of proving those equations.

Why does one need to prove those equations?

SarahD:
It is obvious that those who reminice that the end is near for Nigeria do so out of their selfish desires or out of ideas instilled upon them by these selfish people.

Nursing the idea that Nigeria will divide soon will continue to create enmity and division among us. It will prolong our problem but it will not come to pass as I firmly believe that it is not the will of God for this country. But for the sake of those who pray fervently for the unity of this country, God will not allow Nigeria to divide. If Nigeria should divide today, I am certain that what is happening in the Middle East today will erupt and one country will see another as an enemy. If you do not envision this, I do. Let us appreciate what we have now. That which we seek might not be as rosy as you think. Let us reason properly before we come out with some decisions that will destroy our lives forever.

We should avoid nursing all these negative thoughts in our minds. It will continue to create enmity and division among us. Let us have a positive outlook. By the time each one of us realise that Nigeria can become a better nation, that is when we will see good things come out of Nigeria. That is when we can experience development. We should not allow politics and tribalism becloud our sense of judgement.

Nigeria must be great.

Sarah, this is not about creating enmity among us. One cannot over emphasise the fact that we would be better off as one nation. But the point here is that the gigantic building doesn't have strong foundation, and nobody cares to listen, until one day it collapses. That's exactly the fate that waits Nigeria.
And for the optimists, why do you think that the US is making the prediction about Nigeria's future? They have the intelligence.

Zico5:
That is nonsense,but let me ask, if per adventure Nigeria distingrate as predicted, who is going to lose? Only wailers. North is the basketmouth of the nation, south west the commercial nerve of the nation, south south also with their oil. Then tell me a single thing the south east will hold unto. Don't let me deceive u, if south east think they want to go because of south south oil, there will be war because south south are also wise now. They know the antics of south east, so will never give in to any amalgamation. It will be sweet if everyone maintain his fathers name but I still believe in entity called Nigeria.

Fine analysis! You already know how the breakup would be. O' kwa ya?

HaneefahRN:
I can imagine if it was a lady that married a white grandpa. All the crybabies from the other thread will be here bashing all their female relatives.

The case of a lady is a little different. The young lady marrying and old man can still bear children for him, whereas in the case of the old woman marrying a young man, bearing children is out of the question.

Slingshotz:

Person wey see ur extra sheet article go think say u dey make sense....

You are right, too.
But you still need to acknowledge the op's last line. There is nothing to celebrate with bearing children outside marriage.

edwife:
The things we celebrate nowadays...*sighs*

What is there to be proud of? What's wrong with these youths?

You are perfectly right, dear.
Just that babymama is better than doing abortion.
Who knows what the little ones would become tomorrow ?

Saturday BreezeWhy you should sing for one hour every day

April 16, 2016

Tunde Ajaja

Singing, apart from being a commercial venture, is one activity that many people engage in at vari. And according to a Swedish proverb, those who wish to sing always find a song.

For some, it comes as a reflex as they seem to have the natural inkling to start singing without being prompted to do so, and such people are quick to point out that it is a ‘natural talent.’ But for some others, they rarely do, until they find a song so appealing or they are obliged to sing at their various religious gatherings.

Due to the passion some have for singing, it has been observed that people sing in the course of almost all their activities, including walking, cooking, working, while in the toilet or bathroom, while eating and some do even when sleeping.

It is however interesting to note that not many people know that singing is actually good for the heart and that there is a way it enhances the body’s overall well-being.

A professor of music education at the Institute of Education, University of London, Graham Welch, who conducted a 30-year study on singing, revealed that  there are health benefits of singing and the benefits are physical and psychological. He explained that singing ultimately exercises the lungs by opening it up for aeration.

In his post on heartresearch.org.uk, he said, “Singing has physical benefits because it is an aerobic activity that increases oxygenation in the blood stream and exercises major muscle groups in the upper body, even when sitting.

“Singing also has psychological benefits because of its normally positive effect in reducing stress levels through the action of the endocrine system which is linked to our sense of emotional well-being. The psychological benefits are also evident when people sing together as well as alone because of the increased sense of community, belonging and shared endeavour.”

Meanwhile, scientists have previously found that singing elevates people’s mood, occasioned by the release of the feel good hormones, endorphin and oxytocin, which tend to reduce stress, depression and anxiety. They noted that the regular use of the vocal cords when singing automatically exercises the lungs and the heart, leading to a healthy heart and mental stability.

Other health benefits of singing include the fact that it boosts mental alertness, opens up respiratory tubes, reduces snoring and anger, boosts the body’s immunity and helps to calm the nerves.

Be that as it may, some scientists have however pointed out that group singing, like being in a choir, has more benefits, as it boosts the immune system and helps the body to fight cancer.

This implies that if you are a member of the choir of any singing group and you actively participate, apart from other benefits for doing so, you have invariably been adding value to yourself by boosting your immune system.

A previous study had found that group singing could produce satisfying and therapeutic sensations regardless of the quality of the sound accompanying the song.

In the study, the scientists, from Imperial College London, University College London and the Royal College of Music, found that one hour of singing every day reduces stress and anxiety, and then increases levels of the proteins that boost immunity to serious illnesses like cancer.

They noted that the reduction in stress and anxiety reduces the tension on the immune system, thereby enabling it to prepare itself for a fight against diseases.

About 193 persons participated in the study, and they came from five different choirs, while 55 of them were found to have cancer. The participants were mandated to give samples of their saliva before an hour of singing and then give another sample after singing.

On analysing the samples they had collected to see if there was any difference in the levels of their hormones and immune proteins, the researchers, according to their findings published in the journal ECancer Medical Science, found that singing reduces the inflammation (which impedes the immune system) in the body and that people who were really suffering from depression had a significant improvement in their mood.

According to their findings, it was revealed that singing for one hour could help to reduce stress hormones like cortisol and increase the proteins that mediate and regulate immunity, inflammation and strengthens the capacity of the body to fight some serious illness.

The co-author of the research, Dr. Ian Lewis, described their findings as exciting and eye-opening. The findings were reviewed on Mail Online.

Lewis said, “These are really exciting findings. We have been building a body of evidence over the past six years to show that singing in a choir can have a range of social, emotional and psychological benefits, and now we can see it has biological effects too.

“We’ve long heard anecdotal evidence that singing in a choir makes people feel good, but this is the first time it’s been demonstrated that the immune system can be affected by singing.”

One of the researchers, Dr. Daisy Fancourt, explained that people who have cancer could suffer psychological troubles like stress, anxiety and depression, which could suppress the effectiveness of their immune system, when in actual fact, such people need their immune system for their well being.

“But this research suggests that an activity as simple as singing could reduce some of this stress-induced suppression, helping to improve wellbeing and quality of life among patients and putting them in the best position to receive treatment.”

Another member of the research team, Rosie Dow, who co-authored the study, said their findings would further show the world that singing is great for the mind, body and soul.

She said, “This research is so exciting, as it echoes everything all our choir members tell us about how singing has helped them. I’ve seen peoples’ lives transformed through singing in our choirs, so knowing that singing also makes a biological difference will hopefully help us to reach more people with the message that singing is great for you – mind, body and soul.”

Commenting on the study, a psychologist, Prof. Toba Elegbeleye, said singing could make people to be better relaxed and that anything that can reduce stress would boost the immune system.

He said given that not everybody loves to sing, those who do not sing should listen to music as it also has same benefit of reducing anxiety and stress.

He said, “Psychologically, anything that can reduce stress is good for the body, and whether you like it or not, singing should be part of our system, but it is not everybody that can sing. So, the other half I like to add is that if you have the talent and the passion for it, sing, because it is good for your body and soul but if you do not have the talent to sing, you listen to music.

“Both singing and listening to music work well for the body by helping the system to relax. In the Bible, when Saul was having some issues, David was invited to come and play instrument for him and anytime David played the instrument, he felt better.”

Elegbeleye explained that even though there are some synthetic drugs that are used to relax the body and the mind, singing or listening to music are like natural ways to derive same benefits.

He added, “Anything that can reduce stress would boost the immune system and keep you in a happy state, and you would see the better side of life. So if you sing, it is good for you. It is even more complementary when you sing and people want to listen to you.

“So, singing is good and psychologically advisable and that is why most keep-fit organisations accompany exercises with music. Singing is like an agent that can reduce stress, and that is the psychological connection.”
