Ladies we all know how difficult it is finding Mr Right, in fact it is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. You think you find him and then he turns out to be completely the wrong guy for you. There could be a lot of reasons for it, but one of those is not that you are cursed! Here are six very honest reasons, but ones that you can do something about to help find Mr. Right.

You Don’t Know What You Want
Has it ever occurred to you that you don’t know what you want from a guy? Have you even thought about it? You know that you want someone who treats you right, but where do you go from there? While you need to avoid putting too many restrictions on the perfect guy for you, there needs to be a few items on your checklist. You could find you’re letting Mr. Right go without even realizing.

The Chemistry Isn’t The Only Thing
You don’t feel that instant spark and you conclude that he can’t be the guy. That chemistry is not the only thing that makes him the perfect match for you. It might take a while for that spark to even get there. You need to get along, and he needs to meet certain aspects on that checklist from the above point. Don’t leave it all based just because there is no chemistry right from the beginning.

You’re Waiting For A Fairy Tale
Ladies please be real as life is not like a fairy tale. If it was, you’d be locked in a tower by your step-mother, or poisoned because you’re too beautiful (lol). Sitting around and waiting for Prince Charming would not bring him to you. You need to get out there and look for him and that doesn’t mean going crazy looking for him. You need to look while you get on with your life and career. He will come around one day.

You Tend To Opt For Adventure
It is ok to like adventure as long as it’s not all trouble. The problem with this is the guy that comes with it is usually Mr. Wrong. He would lead you astray and think fun only happens when you’re in trouble with the law. You need to stop thinking of the bad stuff as being the only fun, adventurous stuff you can do. Look at all the great things that Mr. Right can give you.

Your Standards Aren’t High Enough
While having too high standards is a bad thing, having low or no standards is worse. You need someone who will treat you well, and put your interests before his now and then.If you’re not willing to put your happiness first when it comes to finding love, you’re going to struggle to be happy in any type of relationship.

You Think He’ll Change
You know he’s treated women poorly in the past. He’s cheating on his girlfriend or wife right now just to be with you, he has a history of violence, or whatever bad trait he might posses. However, you believe that he will change all because of you. Get this fairytale out of your head right now as most times it doesn’t happen..

Very sad.

Even in technology we can bring in ethnicism.
We are trying.

Sixteen Nigerian medical students studying in St Vincent and Grenadines in the Caribbean, under the Rivers State Scholarship scheme, have resorted to stealing and fraudulent acts to survive, just as they are reportedly being starved of their monthly upkeep allowances and tuition fees for close to two years.

The aggrieved final year students who spoke with Vanguard separately, said that two of the medical students who are billed to graduate with the other 14 this October, went into stealing when it was apparent they didn’t know where their next meal will come from. At the time of filing this report, some of the students (males and females) confirmed that they had not eaten for three days, let alone pay school fees. Begging for alms According to them, their living conditions degenerated to a level where they beg for alms in churches to survive, as their landlords eject them from their apartments due to non-payment of rent, compelling many of them to live in the streets. The fortunate few among them are presently squatting with people. Due to non-payment of their tuition fees by the Rivers State Government, Vanguard investigation revealed that the school authorities have stopped them from completing the remaining clinical rotations before graduation. Presently, the students who are sending save-our-soul messages to both the Rivers State Government and the Federal Government, disclosed that if the development is not checked, it will further worsen Nigeria’s already bartered image abroad. The 16 medical students were the candidates the Rivers State Government awarded scholarships in 2013 under the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency, RSSDA. The students are accusing the Rivers State Government of abandoning them to suffer for close to two years in a strange land without any explanation. Abandoned for two years Recounting his ordeal, Mr Promise Adimele Amaechi, one of the medical scholars in the Caribbean, who spoke with Vanguard said: “We are supposed to graduate in October this year, but due to non-payment of our school fees, the school authorities have stopped us from our clinical clerkships. “The school said we can’t graduate if our school fees are not paid, hence the school has to stop us from completing our remaining clinical rotations. ‘’Moreover, because our upkeep allowances are not paid, we can not feed and pay our rent. Because some of our landlords think we could leave the country without paying them, most students’ travelling documents have been seized and legal action taken against us to recover the debts. “Two students among us who recently engaged in stealing and fraud in order to make ends meet, were arrested. As I speak to you, I have not eaten for the past three days, this is how bad the situation is with us.” Amaechi who urged the state and federal governments to come to their aid said, “We are stranded, frustrated and hopeless.” Also, Abiye Datoru, 28, one of the scholars from Okrika Local Government Area, Rivers State said: “We have gone from our parents borrowing to pay our upkeep, to selling all in the family, to taking loans. At this point, there is just no more money to borrow and no property to sell. Cursed blessing ‘’Honestly, it’s difficult to know where to start explaining. We started this journey with plenty joy and now it’s like a cursed blessing. It has been one year and 7 months (19 months) without upkeep and accommodation allowances. “The government back home will always give us unending sweet words like: “We are processing your payments,’ ‘Send us your passport to facilitate payment,’ ‘Our commitment to you is top priority,’ ‘Things will improve after the elections,’ ‘Once the court case is over’ etc.” ‘’Tuition for my colleagues and myself has not been paid for close to two years, the school authorities have stopped us from going to school over and over again, but they eventually allow us resume after mountains of letters from RSSDA has been received promising to pay, but they always fail. ‘’We are now known as debtors, bad tenants, sick and abandoned children. Food in itself is a luxury we get when we visit our friends who by the way, now hide their food when we visit. Transportation is something we don’t even bother talking about. “Personally, I have been mobbed by the boys of someone I borrowed money from. At some point, my safety was at stake. Every time the Governor talks about our issue, he keeps saying he will pay for the final year students and has paid over 50% of the money for the said final year students. Invisible funds “I want to state here categorically that I am in my final year. I am not studying Economics or English language, I am studying medicine, I have not received any upkeep allowance, neither has any of my fees been paid, not to talk of the over 50% that the Governor says he has paid. Since late last year, it is the same story that has been coming from the Government.’’ On her part, Miss Onyinyechi Chinyere Kalagbor, 24, a final year medical scholar at All Saints University in the Caribbean, said it has not been easy for her. “We have not received funds or tuition from our sponsors and the government of Rivers State for over 17months now. Most of us are homeless and have to squat with other friends. We have been stopped from clinical rotations several times and I don’t blame the school, they have really been patient with us. It is very discouraging. The course we are studying requires energy, 100% concentration and attention. But how can you give what you don’t have? “Friends and family tried to support me the much they could but obviously, there is only so much they can do. It’s surprising that the government has abandoned us till now. How do they sleep at night? All I can say is that we have suffered, we are still suffering and we need help urgently,” she said. Another medical scholar from River State in the Caribbean who identified himself as Paul Babeye said he has been surviving through the help of his girlfriend. He said: “I should have contacted Vanguard earlier, but frustration and hopelessness took the best of me. Most of us here are homeless and some are involved in criminal activities. I am honestly feeding off my girlfriend, because my family can’t afford it. I don’t even have a place to call home.”

BJAYADEMOLA:
Did guy shuld stop abusing the d king now...

The office of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega went up in flames yesterday. However, a timely intervention by men of the commission, policemen and private security firm saved the day as they all rallied to put out the fire.

Meanwhile, the inferno had partly consumed the visitors room of the INEC boss, with the windows shattered by the fire. The blinds were completely burnt in addition to chairs, tables and air conditioners. Part of the ceiling was also melted and the walls charred.

Equipment such as photocopiers, printers, computer systems and other office equipments were quickly evacuated from the adjourning INEC Chairma’s Secretary’s office to safeguard them, while the fire was being put out.
National Commissioner in charge of Information, Prince Adedeji Solomon Soyebi who conducted newsmen round the burnt area explained that the smoke was noticed from the visitors room at about 10:40 a.m. yesterday and before help could come the whole room had been engulfed by thick smoke.

The INEC chairman was, however, not in the office when the inident occured.
He explained further that the fire was triggered by an electrical fault from one of the split systems in the visitors room, which was completely burnt with all the electrical wires melted.

He assured that apart from the burnt office equipment, no vital documents relating to the election or any other official matter was burnt. He also said the fire did not go beyond the visitors’ room before it was put out.
It was gathered that the Commission’s personnel alerted the fire service men within the INEC office but the fire was put out with the use of fire extinguishers in the offices and there was no need for the services of the fire men.

Soyebi maintained that the inferno was due mainly to an electrical fault and the Commission suspected no motive by anybody behind the incident.
When Daily Sun moved round the offices some 24 giant fire extinguishers had been dispensed to bring the fire under control.
A source within the Commission wondered why the office of the Chairman had become susceptible to fire outbreak annually, saying there was hardly a year without fire engulfing the Chairman’s office while recalling that such incidence was recorded last year too.
The latest incidence was the second in two months as the security post within the INEC was almost engulfed by fire last April but for timely joint efforts by security personnel around who also used fire extinguisher to douse the flame. .

The modes of operating so far are unfair to the Ndigbo people in particular but it is bad for Nigeria as well. Those in the Southeastern part of Nigeria that do not like to be shortchanged in this way need to call the attention of these elites to their error.

Two Governors and Many Missing Opportunities.
Anthony A Kila
In democracy, government is not just about nominating people into power, providing services and representing people; it is also about building and defending institutions, setting standards, being accountable and transparent. In dealing with their universities, which is part of my own most immediate constituency, the Governors of Edo and Ekiti states, Mr Adams Oshiomole and Dr Kayode Fayemi, have missed many opportunities to act as true patriotic democrats should operate whilst dealing with matter of the state. Like many are quick to point out, albeit sometimes conveniently, it is important to remember that the Nigerian democratic system, in which these two Governors operate, is still rather young and a lot is still work in progress, yes, but unlike many who point out that reality, I infer from it that we need to be vigilant not indulgent.
For those who missed it, here are some facts, it all started from Edo state. About exactly two weeks ago, news came across the world that the Governor of Edo State has suspended (or is it sacked?) with immediate effect, the Vice Chancellor of the Edo State owned Ambrose Alli University (AUU). The press release that made public that action was rather scanty; the crux of the statement seems to be that the Governor did it because he can. In their own words and as reported in the press: “In exercise of his powers under the Act establishing the AAU, the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole has decided to remove the present Vice-Chancellor of Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Professor Sam Uniamikogbo with immediate effect”.
If you are thinking sacking a Vice Chancellor is grave, then wait for this: like in a viral attack, just last week, another news came that the Ekiti State Governor had sacked three Vice Chancellors of the state owned universities. Like in the case of Edo State, the sacking of the University heads in Ekiti was done unceremoniously and the press release that made decision public was even less informative. The most important thing one could gather from the press release signed by special adviser to the governor on media was that “the Visitor, the Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has approved the removal of the vice chancellors of the following universities in the state. The University of Ado-Ekiti, the University of Science and Technology, Ifaki-Ekiti; and the University of Education, Ikere-Ekiti” and that “It is imperative to note that the above changes are with immediate effect.”
In the absence of clear and complete explanation and indeed justification of any government action, people are left with no alternative but to speculate. Consequently, a lot of possible reasons and opinions are going around regarding the actions of the Governors. This is however very wrong. A democratic chief executive, no matter how strong or popular, has the duty to fully explain his actions to all those citizens and residents on whose behalf he is exercising his power.
In these cases, the Governors of Edo and Ekiti have missed the opportunity to show the world that they understand what it means to not only care for but also show respect for and have a high opinion of their people. They could and should have taken the time to painstakingly state their case and explain their why before dismissing their Vice Chancellors. They missed the opportunity to show the world that they understand how important an institution like a university is and that as true patriotic democrats with a sense of history they realise that these universities were there before their tenure, will be there after their tenure and that their own actions are dictated by great concerns for the future; in that case, they would have been reluctant to directly intervene and even when they finally did, their statements should have shown regret in tampering with the structure of such institutions.
Let us for a moment blindly and dangerously assume that these Governors are completely righteous and exceptionally competent politicians whose actions are solely dictated by the good of their states and that the sacked Vice Chancellors are totally bad and irremediably inept professionals, even in such a scenario, the state governors in dealing with the affairs of their universities ought to remember that their tenure in office is only for a limited period of time; two terms at most. They ought to bear in mind that after them, a self-serving scoundrel or a lucky slowpoke might just come into power and consequently, it is their duty, today, to create precedents and discontinue patterns that, for any reason in the world, might allow Governors to abuse power. These two Governors have just missed the opportunity to show the world that they understand that part of what matters more than any other thing in an emerging democracy is institution building and the nurturing of independent institutions such as their universities. They missed the opportunity to teach other governors around and after them how to have power but not use it by referring the questions to the university senate or other self-regulating bodies within the university world.

Frontline members of the current Federal Executive Council including Petroleum Resources Minister Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, Finance Minister Dr. Segun Aganga and Defence Minister Chief Adetokunbo Kayode are on their way out because none of them featured among the 10 persons per state nominated by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party’s [PDP] state chapters for appointment as ministers and other high officials, Daily Trust learnt yesterday.

A copy of the official list of nominees from 27 states was obtained by Daily Trust, which showed there were errors in some of the names earlier reported in the newspapers.

Mrs Allison-Madueke, known to be very close to President Goodluck Jonathan, nevertheless did not feature in the 10-member list from Bayelsa State, while Aganga, a former managing director at Goldman Sachs, was not on the 10-man list from Lagos State. Similarly, Defence Minister Kayode’s name did not feature in the list from his native Ondo State. The minister has been having running battles from his state’s PDP chapter since the general elections ended last month, and the party even pronounced him suspended.


Other serving ministers who failed to make it into their states’ lists include National Planning Minister Dr. Shamsudeen Usman, from Kano; Police Affairs Minister Mr. Humphrey Abah, from Kogi; Culture and National Orientation Minister Alhaji Abubakar Mohamed, from Gombe, and Minister of State for Health Alhaji Sulaiman Bello, from Zamfara. Agriculture Minister Professor Sheikh Abdallah was also not on the list from Niger State, nor is Water Resources Minister Obadiah Ando in the list from Taraba.

Controversially, there were two “official” lists from Yobe State. One contained the name of former Police Affairs Minister Adamu Maina Waziri while the other did not. The only person who featured in both lists is the party’s gubernatorial candidate in last month’s election Senator Usman Albishir.

However, many other ministers squeaked through to make the list from their states, which however far from guarantees a return to the cabinet. They include Education Minister Professor Rukayyatu Alkali from Jigawa, Mines and Steel Development Minister Architect Musa Sada from Katsina, Information Minister Labaran Maku from Nasarawa, Aviation Minister Mrs Fidelia Njeze from Enugu, Environment Minister John Ogar Odey from Cross River, Sports Minister Professor Taofeek Adedoja from Oyo, Niger Delta Minister Godsday Orubebe from Delta, as well as Science and Technology Minister Professor Mohamed Abubakar from Kebbi.

Contrary to some newspaper reports, outgoing Nasarawa State governor Aliyu Doma is not on the list from the state, nor is the late President Yar’adua’s daughter Hajiya Maryam Yar’adua on the list from Katsina.

Appearing in the PDP list is only the first step towards securing ministerial nomination. Though there are ten nominees from each state [11 nominees from Taraba State], each state will get to produce only one minister, though a few states will get more than that if the president decides to appoint an additional minister each per geopolitical zone, as has happened since 1999. The remaining names on the list are expected to be appointed as ambassadors and chairmen of the boards of federal agencies.

It is also possible that the president will nominate some ministers entirely from outside the PDP lists. He has already signalled that he may nominate some technocrats to man some specialised ministries. President Jonathan may also offer some cabinet positions to some other political parties that supported him in the election, namely APGA, Labour Party and perhaps ACN.

Maybe he could have used that position tp help Nigeria.

Short changing the Ndigbo: Victims and Perpetrators.
Anthony A Kila
The ongoing clamor for the post of speaker of the house of representative by leaders of many Ndigbo sociopolitical and partisan groups has brought back the themes of political marginalization, exclusion and even shortchanging of the Ndigbo back to the forefront of the national discourse in Nigeria. Some important questions need to be clearly and analytically answered about these themes. One, are the Ndigbo being politically marginalized, excluded or even shortchanged in Nigeria? If so, who are the perpetrators of such acts, and why? If not, why are some people saying so.
Like many of the Ndigbo elites you read and hear in the media these days, I agree that yes the Ndigbo are being politically shortchanged but therein ends our limited area of convergence. Unlike those Ndigbo sociopolitical and partisan leaders, some of us do not believe that the perpetrators of such bad service are some alien anti Ndigbo group or party to be fought by strong Ndigbo elites on the pages of newspapers and on TV. For some of us, the worst offenders against the interest of the people are above all these same Ndibgo elites.
When it comes to pain and joy, no one is different. Like the rest of the country, the people of the southeastern part of Nigeria need politics to deliver good governance that will facilitate the creation of safe neighborhoods, good roads, decent schools, efficient health system and of course stable electric supply. The residents and indigenes of that part of the country are clearly victims of the Nigerian political short change. What we really want is a Southern eastern Nigeria where all can go for holidays and business without fear of being kidnapped, good airports where planes arrive on time, a region where erosion is tackled with competence and integrity. Whilst we are at it, let us include the burning desire for an efficient and agile free trade zone.
Rather than deal with all these, those that politically represent and influence the lives of the Ndigbo have focused on attainting power and position. But power and position to do what and for whom? Lest we forget, never in the history of democratic Nigeria has the Ndigbo leaders been in complete and coordinated opposition to power in the central, no civilian ruler or party has ever ruled Nigeria without the support of a Ndigbo party. Even the NPP developed an understanding and a working agreement with the NPN. What have they done with such alliances? What benefit have they brought to their people from all those unions and supports? Before pledging and delivering support, votes and collaboration, what did those that spoke and negotiated for the Ndigbo ask the PDP today, the NPN yesterday and the NPC the day before yesterday? We do not know because they did not officially and publicly tell the Ndigbo and the rest of the world. What we saw however was nomination into national positions.
Assuming power and getting into public office in the name and on behalf of people and not doing concrete things for them by resolving their problems is politically short changing such people and it is morally wrong. On behalf of those hard working apprentices, business people, civil servants, professionals and students, we have taken stock for those that represent and direct the political actions of the Ndigbo and the result of the audit is bad. Ndigbo leaders need to change a lot in their mode of operation whilst representing their people and dealing with other group and people in Nigeria.
Before going to negotiate an alliance or pledge support to any group or person they need to remember it is not about them (the leaders) but about the people and consequently find out what these people want. They need to pledge their alliance only to those that have programmes and principles that meet the need of their people. They need to then make the reasons and expectations of their alliance public so that all can be witness and negotiators held accountable.
They need to change their language and tactics. The best side of democracy is carved in poetry; it is made of values, ideals and ideas. During negotiations and even after they have fulfilled their own part of the arrangement, leaders need to learn to refrain from using prosaic expressions that makes the whole process pedestrian. In the ongoing clamor for the post of speaker, it makes one cringe to read Ndigbo elites use terms like “share the spoils of power”, or talk about a “reward system that commensurate support”. It is sad that to discover that that those clamoring for the role of the speaker for a Ndigbo legislator have not come with the name of who they want and why they think he or she will make a good speaker.
The modes of operating so far are unfair to the Ndigbo people in particular but it is bad for Nigeria as well. Those in the Southeastern part of Nigeria that do not like to be shortchanged in this way need to call the attention of these elites to their error.
