Buhari's child Zara is paying over £40,000/#12 million naira as school fees, developing her future & career.
*Jonathan's children have being moved to London for studies & Residence while developing their career & living in affluence...
*Atiku Abubakar's children are abroad schooling....
*Tinubu's children are abroad schooling and Living in Affluence. They are all developing & investing in their children to continue to Rule us after they are gone.... you are there As a Jobless graduate wearing APC & PDP customised vest & polo, chanting “change", Holding Brooms & carrying umbrellas chanting, “Transformation" Killing yourself, Formenting trouble & constituting nuisance to the society because of the peanuts that can't make you a better person. Even if you have No Paying Jobs, why not do Apprentice or Learn a skill that will make you more productive today in the society. Why not do volunteering Jobs instead of Looking For Pay Jobs!!! Stop being a Disgrace to Your discipline, stop wearing APC vest & carrying PDP umbrellas because that is the wish of politicians for you..... They know if you have a Good Job, they can't use you as a Thug/Propagandist. If Buhari Will Not bring All His ten Children to the street for campaign & Jonathan Will not bring his children & Blood brothers to the street for campaign, then you are a disgrace to your Family if You don't Stop masquerading yourself as a political thug because up till Now, I have never seen Buhari's children on the street wearing APC vest & holding brooms, neither have I seen Jonathan's children carrying umbrella even on a social media let alone in the street..... - A word is Enough for the Wise.

vigor and single-mindedness
uncommon in Nigeria.

thanks for reporting what Nigerians can't see

Please I want a mature interpretation to Genesis 19:8 thank you all.

Marriage is regarded as a complex of social, political, religious, and economic systems in Ibibio land. It covers diverse aspects of the society as family and community relationships, sex and sexuality, inheritance, and even political power (as rulership particularly in the past resided in specific and designated families both the secular and the religious).

Betrothal before the age of 14 used to be common. Marriage payments were made to the prospective bride's parents. The marriage payment was shared among the bride's kin, with the father keeping the largest share. The marriage payment traditionally had to be completed before the marriage could be consummated; it was supplemented by services rendered by the husband to the bride's father.
Given the fact that marriage is a fulcrum in Ibibio society, there are elaborate ceremonies on it before, during, and after the formal handing over of a girl or woman to her suitor. Here is the process:
When a man proposes to a woman and of course the woman accepts, they are then required to go and see the woman’s parents, this is called “Ndidiong Ufok” which means “ to know the house” of the lady. You could call it an introduction. During this, not many people are expected to go with the groom just about 3 - 4 people would be okay, but if more people are to go then the bride’s family must be informed of the number of people that will be showing up so they can make proper arrangements, especially as the family of the bride is mandated by custom to cook and welcome the members of the groom’s family like special guests
The next step is the ‘knocking of the door’; the date for the “Nkong Udok/ Nkong Usong (depending on the dialect)” is set after the ‘Ndidiong Ufok’,So after the family of the groom has gotten to know the house of the girl then they can come and knock on the door and officially ask for the lady’s hand.
The knocking on the door is more or less the same as in the Yoruba tradition or the Igbo tradition, where family of the groom comes and asks for the girl that they are looking for in the house and in turn collect the "list" provided by the Father and elders of the girls family .
In the Ibibio tradition the grooms family has to buy some things for the family of the bride, hence the list, which would include things for each member of the lady’s family from the youngest to the oldest. 
The day that the things or items on the list are to be delivered is called the ‘Uno Mpo’, which means to “to give something”. 
Traditionally, this list is a way of compensating the family of the lady by the family members of the groom’ for talking away a member of their family thus reducing the number of hands that would have helped in the farm or with cooking and taking care of the house. Of course today, there are no farms to help out with but in most cases, but tradition is tradition.
The date of the delivery of the items is usually settled on at the ‘Nkong Udok/ Nkong Usong’.
The next thing to follow all these events is the traditional wedding. This is where all the hair and clothing that you would probably have seen in pictures or videos are donned; the bride and groom dress in full traditional regalia sometimes like a prince or princess (depending on their own tastes of course) etc. The ceremony takes place more or less like the Igbo Traditional wedding, from the hiding of the groom to the wife looking for him with the drink given to her by her parents to offer him.
All these events are handled according to the purse size of the families involved, and in recent times, people choose to do all or some of these events together and sometimes skip some parts all together in a bid to reduce the length of the whole ceremony.

Were it from someone else I would have given reasons why it will be impossible for an atm machine to dispense counterfeit naira notes. But an atm machine in Omoku Rivers State after series of withdraws yesterday 19/2/15 dispensed a counterfeit #1000 note. It was a shocker. I immediately alerted the security men there, they advised I wait till 8am when the bank usually opens and all other witnesses around were filled with awe. Finally they opened their doors to customers around 8:30am I walked in and got a bigger surprise; the senior officer or operations manager said there's a possibility I had it on me that I should write a complaint and attach the note (story for the gods). So my dear good people of NL. How do I handle this? I still have the note with me. Lest I forget, there and then a security guard offered me #500 for that same note but I refused. My anger was the attitude of the customer relations officer and whoever the operations manager was for saying I had it on me. I had to collect phone numbers of people who witnessed the incident. So give me the best way to get them not to make such expensive mistake again.

Garlic is well known as a natural health remedy that has long been used to treat various ailments. It is extremely easy to source in most countries and can be consumed cooked or fresh. It is most easily included in your food or can be eaten on its own. You don’t need to limit yourself to fresh garlic either. Garlic powder or dried garlic flakes are just as effective and super easy to keep in the cupboard for everyday use.
It is recommended that adults consume no more than one clove two or three times a day and that children have one quarter to one half a clove, once or twice a day.
1. Garlic has been found to assist babies to gain weight while they are in the womb. Next time you have a baby prepare to have garlic breath. Except if you have a history of large babies in which case maybe you want to skip the extra doses?
2. Garlic strengthens the immune system as well as helps to fight chest infections, coughs and congestion. In the winter months garlic is a great food to boost your immune system and ward off colds and flu. An old folk remedy is to eat a clove of garlic that has been dipped in honey at the first sign of a cold. Why not try it and see if it works for you?
3. Garlic contains high levels of iodine which makes it a very effective treatment for hyperthyroid conditions. Treatment with garlic has been shown to greatly improve this condition.
4. Scurvy is treated by vitamin C and garlic contains good levels of vitamin C too.
5. Popular folklore says that garlic is good for more than scaring hungry vampires away! Impotency has long been thought to benefit from doses of garlic, and treatment continues in many communities to this day. Why not try treating yourself with garlic for several months before you head off to the doctor for that Viagra prescription?
6. Cardiovascular disease can be reduced by ingesting garlic. LDL cholesterol is no friend of garlic and the aortic plaque deposits that gather on the walls of your body’s veins can be reduced with the use of garlic too. Studies have shown the amazing benefits of taking garlic in relation to heart disease.
7. Fungal and bacterial vaginal infections are toast when treated with garlic! When crushed or bruised, garlic releases Allicin which is a sulphuric compound that is a natural antibiotic. WWI soldiers even apparently used crushed garlic on infected wounds suffered in battle. If you decide to take garlic in tablet form be sure to use powdered capsules. The processes used to create garlic tablets destroy the Allicin that is present.
8. Garlic is a great source of vitamin B6 which is needed for a healthy immune system and the efficient growth of new cells. Vitamin B6 can also assist with mood swings and improve your cheery disposition!
9. Garlic can aid in the prevention of multiple types of cancer. Bladder cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer and stomach cancer have all been shown to have their tumors reduced when treated with garlic. Vitamin B6 is said to have cancer fighting abilities.
10. Garlic regulates blood sugar as it enhances the level of insulin in the blood. This may assist in the control of diabetes. Seek medical advice if you believe the use of garlic could help your condition.
A word of warning about consuming too much garlic; in large doses, garlic can be detrimental to your health and you should never take more than the recommended dosage. Also be aware that the properties of garlic actually get into your bloodstream which is why it is so effective in so many ways. What this does mean, however, is that when you sweat, garlic will leave your body through your pores. Many people who eat larger than normal amounts of garlic report increased body odor.

This Picture is strictly on a lighter mood.

information and security
tips.

advised to observe and
comply with these
directives for our personal
safety
2. If you are registered to
vote and have your
Permanent Voters Card,
you are advised to go early
to the Polling Centers, get
accredited, cast your votes
and leave the vicinity
immediately for your
homes to await the results
3. Please do not cluster
around polling centers and
stay away from groups
and bunch of people, no
matter the discussion or
incident that may have
attracted them together.
4. Begin now to gather
information about your
environment and feel the
pulse around your
intended voting center.
Study your polling unit,
and if it's packed with
miscreants, thugs and
unknown faces, steer clear;
remember that your life
matters more than the
vote.
5. Dress responsibly and
avoid adorning any

wearing politically
branded T shirts, caps or
bearing handbills, posters,
pamphlets and banners of

as a risk.

be capable of fanning the
embers of political discord
amongst the political
parties and their agents
7. Stay away from parked
cars and abandoned
packages, luggage etc.
8. Do not buy drinks,
snacks, etc. around polling
centers, nor should you
share/receive consumables
or gifts from anyone at the

Don’t take the law into
your own hands!

jewelries and other
personal belongings to the
polling centers
