On a serious note, it's called favor. Being at the right place at the right time is key. For all you know this might be the first time ever that anybody is recognizing her for anything. I believe she just reacted love like she would for any scenario not knowing God will use the situation to bring her before the Gov.

Waste of funds and hipocrisy. Been honored for saving herself and disarming two robbers. Many people have done that. Why did he not organise a ceremony to celebrate police officers who died in the line of duty and let us know what he is doing for their family instead of this nonsense. This should be a normal thing in the force rather than seeing it has been superfluous.
Street slang. Meaning your head is where it's meant to be, the neck. Some people's head could be under their feet or their anus. I guess you understand what that means.
ziccoit: These people are using their states allocation for monumental projects while some are embezzling and mismanaging the huge sum allocated to them. Very soon, they would be shouting of marginalization.
okusebi: why would ladies have the impression that if they hava sex with a guy they are doing the guy a favour..... its somehow after making sure they are satisfied..... all they will think is that they have given u a huge favour
Edo state born actress Yvonne Jegede has taken to her social media page to flaunt what she’s got, like the saying goes, if you have it, flaunt it.
The 31 Year Old ebony beauty and Nollywood actress who once said she doesn’t expose her cleavage on the streets has however unleashed them in new pictures from her interview with Star Gist.
She shared the picture on her instagram page some hours ago.
bettercreature: Nuhu Ribadu’s chances of winning the Adamawa governorship election was left in tatters today, following the desertion of his Peoples Democratic Party by party bigwigs to the All Progressives Congress.
Leading the defectors was former Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Jonathan Zwingina. Othes were a former Minister of External Affairs, Idi Hong, and two serving Senators, Bello Tukur and Ahmed Barata, as well as Sadiq Haske.
They announced their defection at a press conference in Yola today.
Zwingina, who spoke on behalf of the defectors, said they decided to pitch their tent with the APC to support the party’s governorship candidate, Bindow Jibrilla.
“We are positive of the change going on now in the country; we believe in the candidacy of Bindow,” he said.
Zwingina and Hong lost in their bid to represent Adamawa Central and Southern district in the National Assembly elections held on March 28.
Flets: No single individual is capable of changing Nigeria.
We all must join hands to change Nigeria and the trigger can only be structural changes. One clear option is implementation of true federalism in this country to promote ingenuity in value creation and healthy competition across the regions.
Until then, am still laughing at the change agents and ignorant Nigerians.
Yes, one person can not change Nigeria but the Nigerian first figure must start it to integrate others.
ayoesperanza: Donald Ekpo is an enemy of progress. Nigerians got the change they want. am voting APC in Lagos, Am voting ambode
He might have a point because if Buhari had lost, hmm, there won't have been peace. He won't have conceeded defeat like Jonathan. He is also charging Buhari that reality is far from the words of mouth though it is good that he has conceived the ideas of what he wants but much lies ahead. I also urge Buhari to jettison all forms of congratulations start to look ahead because people's expectation is very high and when expectation is high, you get judge quickly.
TopGee: I got a Call now and the Militants are claiming they are facing constant abuse by the same people that ganged up against them. They are threatening them, and so have decided to meet them at the battlefield. This is the reason I warned that our youths must be careful because the way Buhari supporters are abusing those that voted Jonathan might trigger "we no gree again." It is not a crime to vote for any candidate of your choice but our utterances may destroy Nigeria, and all those boasting Buhari will destroy this and that will realize that war is not as easy as they think.
The election has come and gone peacefully but post election comments suppose to douse tension, instead many youths want to set Nigeria on fire ignorantly through their utterances. They don't know the harm they are about to cause to Nigeria as a result of abusing and threatening other regions that voted Jonathan based on their convictions. Everybody must not vote for one candidate. You don't have the power yet.
Ucheosefoh: I was expecting a clean sweep in southwest not this, we were given impression that southwest is lockdown for GMB that GEJ will not get up to 25% in any state in southwest maybe APC guys understimated PDP influence in southwest
Ruling party has more power because they have the finances to sway people which is why GMB needs to be given a kudos for splitting the votes this time.
234GT: LWKMD. So if Buhari wins, you will all be employed? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! The level of disappointment that will hit Nigerians should Buhari win ehn, na only God fit understand am!
Nigerians can be complacent in nature and are not aliens to surprises. Let them satisfy their conscience and leave the rest for God to judge.
The same was faced after GEJ was elected. So what the fuss
Toofan007: Op, nice one. But i've got a question, When does a democracy stop from being 'nascent'? I know sixteen years ain't that long, it ain't so short either. Or is nascency a permanent feature of Nigeria democracy? Just asking
Ewizard: under age voter declare wanted or d bastard dat accredited him??
jega is a failure!!
Tanoids if y'all cud recall, I said severally... "shifting election is a step ahead to victory, not changing jega is 2 milez backward and suicidal considering d desperation of d opposition.
tochimas: You are very wrong about hymen, even in the bible, when a virgin is mentioned, the explaining version will tell you it is a women that has not known man, stop deceiving yourself please.
You are getting it wrong. There is always a way to prove it and that is through the hymen. tell me another way to know if a woman is still a virgin
Blayze007: If he dosnt believe u now, it means he dosnt trust u. U need prayers cos TRUST isn't dat easy to get from someone... try and earn it. Dont flirt, dont give him any reason to believe he was right afterall.
You can also suggest that he does some research to know if every virgin bleeds after first s.3x. I dont think every girl bleeds tho.
Good luck!
What do you mean? Penis enters to disvirgin and she has been using an alternative to enter before now. this means she herself has disvirgined herself long long time ago
An interactive session with Goodluck Jonathan and Nigerian Youths in Lagos .Legendary Nigerian footballer, Jay-Jay Okocha cracks an epic joke and shades a whole lot of Nigerians *cough Mikel
Even the usually taciturn Muazu, as well as Gov. Fayose and President Jonathan himself could not contain their laughter
The joke:
"Patriotism is playing football many decades in Europe & still come back with your Igbo accent in spoken english."
Rendezvou: Many believers attend church services with expectations. Unfortunately not everyone goes back being blessed; some would return empty-handed, not because they are sinners, but for the fact that they are not actually present at the service even though they occupy space with their fulness.
There are certain practices that distract us from concentrating fully especially during Sunday services which consequently rob us of divine encounter and visitation, true fellowship,vital and spiritual information and blessings. Its no surprise that some people would not remember the Sermon they heard once they step out of the church. Why? Because they never listened.
Some of the things that often distract us during Sunday services are-
1. Getting to church at late hours/minutes- you have already lost touch with a thing or two. You wouldn't be late for an appointment with your country's president, let us honour and respect God.
2. Sitting at back seats- you will be less distracted if you sit at the front.
3. Opening your eyes during worship and prayers- the less you see with your physical eyes, the more you concentrate during worship and prayers
4. Greeting during service- it is better done after church service except there is a period alloted for it . 5. Gisting during service- very bad habit. whatever anyone has to tell you should wait till final blessing.
6. Having your mobile phone on- calls and messages can take you out of the church at wrong moments or take your spirit out of the church. Always switch it off completely
7. Using electronic gadgets in place of hard copy of the Bible- you may be tempted to do more than reading the scripture. Use your Bible and not Bible app on your gadgets in church.
8. Carrying children- I do not mean babies here. Some parents are fond of this. You can do this only if there is no children class in the church. If there is children auditorium, let your child also go there.
9. Wearing clothings and shoes that are not moderate and convenient- this is not a joking matter at all. I have had such experience wearing a very tight shoe to the church. It was really a hell and I couldn't concentrate, always adjusting and readjusting...
10. Too much looking- if there is a word like 'lookertive' we can use it to refer to some believers. Some will look at the members of the congregation from head to toe, roll by roll before shifting to the alter to examine the ministers. You may find yourself doing this unconsciously. Determine to only be looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
God bless you.
Ladies dressing to kill to church- They will be focusing on themselves that they are still intact and making moves that they are noticed. This causing distraction for themselves and likewise others.
shegsky: See somebody, you are different from those goatee 4real . BTW, am more concerned with the dollars, pounds and Euro. Anything other than these three. Na bush ma guy, But thanks for your brilliant response.
