Lately I’ve been watching a lot of fighting movies. A few people referred “IP Man” to me and I watched the first one last night. What I extracted out of the movie inspired me to finally write this blog post. IP (the main character) is the best fighter in the town, he is calm and collected, never challenged a soul, never bragged, and never tried to prove himself. The town itself was known for having many martial arts classes. IP who is well capable of being a Master and more than qualified to teach never did. Many people who were not even close to being as good as him had many students. Once there was a group of men from outside the city who were loud, strong, competitive who wanted to challenge every fighter in the town to show that they were of great strength and that their leader was skilled. They were on a quest to show what they have and take over the city with their talent. The leader fought everyone and ended up beating every single challenger. When they finished winning all the matches someone interrupted him on his little bragging rant and said to him “you haven’t fought the best, IP.” The leader and his crew asked where to find IP and from there went to IP’s home. IP declined them and politely asked them to leave at first, but they wouldn’t until IP’s wife eventually hinted that he could and IP fought and won effortlessly. We live in a time where many were raised by single parents and younger parents more than ever. It’s quite obvious that this current generation lack morals, manners are a thing of the past. Many grown people act like immature kids. It might have something to do with a bunch of kids having and raising kids. That’s beside the point, all sorts of wrong popular beliefs are everywhere throughout the world nowadays. All these toxic beliefs are bled into the relationship realm as well. Where people are glorifying the wrong things and presenting them as right which brings us to this topic of why mature men don’t want women with an attitude and what’s wrong with attitudes. 1.) Bad attitudes reflect a lack of growth. We all have flaws that separates the mature and immature. The mature grow and make necessary changes to evolve. The immature embrace their flaws yes, but they justify them and seek to find strength in them instead of growing from them. Many women of today are being taught by both men and women that your flaws are never an issue it’s just people isn’t strong enough to handle your character. They say things like “only a real man can put up with my attitude” and other cliche things that justify for their lack of growth. An attitude is a flaw, it’s something you have when you’re not at peace with yourself. A short fuse means you have anger issues you need to deal with, always being ready to tell someone off means you lack self-control and respect. Being outspoken isn’t being loud and obnoxious, being blunt and sarcastic isn’t commendable, being uncivilized isn’t showing them how it is. The characteristic of a woman with a bad attitude are characteristics of a child yet many men are taught to embrace it as strength in a woman. Those characteristics are no different than the ways of the fighter who had something to prove in the movie. Being better than many in the martial arts field, he acted as if it was okay to be uncivilized, loud, and ready to prove a point simply because he had talent. He carried on as if it was the right way to conduct himself when he believes he is the best. A mature man is looking for a civilized woman who’s not obnoxious, who seeks peace, who’s soft spoken, meek, wise, slow to anger. Everything that is opposite of what women of bad attitudes represent. A mature man is looking for someone who is hesitant to prove a point but quick to act in true humility. 2.) Being a woman without an attitude represents strength to a man with understanding. Unfortunately our backwards society believes wisdom is weakness. A mature man has an understanding that wisdom is the strength. Every time “IP” turned down a fight in the movie, anyone who doesn’t know him might have believed that the person challenging IP is more skilled and strong than IP when in reality IP was being wise, never felt the need to prove a point. He walked in humility, discipline, and humbleness. Similar to that, people believe soft spoken women don’t have a voice, they believe choosing peace is sending people the wrong signal that she’s a doormat. They see foolishness in wisdom. As a man who has grown out of many of my foolish ways and maturing, I appreciate those women who are wise and walking in love and peace. Many mature men I know see those unpopular things their women do as learning opportunities. I know a husband with some anger issues who was always sarcastic to his wife, but his wife was always soft spoken and slow to anger, she never reviled him. I never understood why and thought she was weak for that. Every time this guy went off, she extended love to him, little did I know as I was growing up that his actions would eventually eat his conscious up, her kind reactions would stir something up in him. It eventually led him to bettering his ways. She could have gotten in his face and told him off and showed him that she doesn’t take crap from anyone almost every time. Eventually they would argue enough and get divorced, but her soft answer convicted him which is why proverbs says “a sound a soft answer turns away wrath” it appeared to many as her being weak and a doormat when really her theory was treat others as you want them to treat you even when they aren’t treating you right. Kindness and love were the best solutions to her. She traveled the road less traveled. A mature man wants a woman who is truly strong and wise, a woman with conviction. A woman who can be a real difference maker and add to his life. 3.) Mature men do not want unnecessary challenges. We all face enough throughout our lives, financial struggles, family troubles, heartbreaks and so forth. On a daily basis we face stress, peace-less situations, we have to deal with other people at our jobs, meet deadlines, handle things that are draining etc. We all face enough in life without a partner, we don’t need to add to it. A mature man is usually someone who’s established and any established person will tell you that life is good but it will throw you lemons. It makes absolute no sense to go find more lemons on top of the one’s life throw at you. No man wants a woman who’s going to make life a bit tougher. We don’t want to come home ready for an argument, ready to fight, someone who’s going to give us another headache. We don’t want to be disrespected or any of that. We aren’t looking for it. We don’t want the time we spend with our women to be a competition. There’s enough at work. we don’t want useless debates because we heard enough of that. There shouldn’t be disrespect, tension etc. Relationships are not easy. People will face things, but no man wants to constantly face those things with his lady. Many women believe “well I do things to help him relax sometimes, isn’t that good enough?” The challenge is mainly during the times you aren’t doing that. The challenge is usually when there’s a disagreement, when things aren’t smooth, sometimes right after you make them relax. People with a short fuse are usually quick to be angry and react, that means things go down often. No mature man wants that type of challenge. We want a woman to challenge us to do better, to encourage us, to grow with us, not someone who barely does those things, but adds way more work. We don’t want to be in a relationship where we’re always being nagged, argued with, disrespected etc when we supposedly aren’t doing “our job.” We don’t want that negativity, we want to live a drama free life. Live as peaceful as possible. 4.) Bad attitudes bring the worst out of a man. Ever heard this quote by Mark Twain“Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”? Well I always say, arguing with fools will lead you to acting foolish. We are easily provoked; it’s naturally easy to get a negative reaction out of human beings. If you say something ugly to someone most likely they are going to retaliate the wrong way. It’s hard to bite your tongue. Dating someone who is immature can lead to you doing many things you would not usually do. Who you date has an affect on who you become. Well dating a woman with an attitude can lead to becoming a bit like them. A man can only stay peaceful long enough, be soft spoken long enough, be passive long enough. Eventually dealing with a woman with an attitude causes the person to bring the worst out of you because their actions eventually sucked a reaction out of you. No mature man wants a woman by their side who will bring out the part of him he has overcome or is trying to overcome. He’s looking for someone who will challenge him and provoke him to do better not worse. There’s many more things we can discuss concerning how a woman with an attitude isn’t a good thing and any grown and mature man isn’t looking for that. As I said before, I am looking for a wife to eventually raise my kids with, not a woman who’s going to be acting like a kid giving me two kids to raise. Our backwards society believes good is bad and bad is good now. Being rude, disrespectful, loud, immature isn’t okay and it’s not going to be tolerated in the name of love. Some say, “well if he loves you he will grow some balls and tolerate you.” Congrats to the men who are doing that, eventually they will grow tired of that. No relationship should be a constant battle, no peace, no humility and so forth. Some of us just don’t have the time and energy to be someone who act such way. Many of us have grown from that and do not see good in that. Men who are proud of women with such characteristics have not yet to mature pass those stages themselves. Usually it’s the type of men who say “I love when a woman jumps in my face, puts me in my place sometimes, women who go blow for blow.” Well the problem is that you both are that way and find it okay, but it’s really not okay. I personally still have some learning to do in those area, i hate having some of those characteristic we now believe are strength when really they are fools ways. But i’m willing to grow out of them and will not settle for someone who isn’t doing the same. Mature people, not only men strive to love all, respect all, be meek, soft spoken, kind, and peaceful. https://gentlemenhood.com/why-mature-men-dont-want-women-with-attitudes/4/ |

Apple's streak of iPhone-powered sales ended Tuesday when the company reported its first quarterly sales drop in more than a decade. The news sent Apple's (AAPL) stock into a tailspin with shares plunging 6.5% to $97.55 in late trading Wednesday. CEO Tim Cook signaled a saturated smartphone market would keep a lid on sales, although he suggested the company's new entry-level smartphone, the SE, promised to eventually goose sales among Android switchers and in emerging markets such as China and India. "The SE is attracting two types of customers, who want the latest tech in a more compact package, and there are more than we thought in that category. And those who want an iPhone but couldn't afford the entry price (before)," Cook told analysts. "We're excited where this can take us." USA TODAY. Apple misses by a mile: Wipes out $43B Sales dropped 13% to $50.6 billion Apple said late Tuesday. Profits were $10.5 billion, or $1.90 per diluted share, down 22% from $13.6 billion ($2.33 per diluted share) last year. Analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence expected sales of $52 billion and a profit of $2 per share. The disappointing quarter can be summed up in two words: iPhone sales. Apple sold 51.2 million in the quarter, down 16% from the same period a year ago. It's the first year- over-year decline in Apple's franchise product since it debuted in 2007l. "The company relies on iPhone sales not only for profit but also to extend their ecosystem," says Gartner analyst Brian Blau. "By any measure a $10 billion profit in a quarter would be great performance, but for Apple that high level is simply getting by." Cook signaled that the company remains optimistic about its ability to capture new customers in emerging markets. In China, Apple has now opened 35 stores and expects to open five more in the coming months, Cook said on the analyst call. In India, the gradual adoption of high-speed LTE networks will "unleash the power and capability of the iPhone in the way a 2G network would not do." Apple's first year-over-year quarterly sales decline since 2003 hammered its stock in after-hours trading Tuesday and fell further as CEO Tim Cook and other analysts talked. (Apple announced its results after markets closed.) Apple did have some good news for investors. The company’s board approved a $50 billion increase to the capital-return program for shareholders. The world's most valuable public company plans to spend an aggregate of $250 billion in cash by March 2018. Separately, the board said it was increasing its quarterly dividend 10%. Cook and Co. to address Q2 decline on earnings call The bumpy second-quarter results could be the start of a rocky ride for the iconic company, which faces tough year- over-year comparisons in the June and September quarters, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Apple said Tuesday it forecasts $41 billion to $43 billion in fiscal third-quarter sales, far short of Wall Street estimates of $47.3 billion. Consumers have not snapped up the latest iPhones, the 6S and 6S Plus, because they aren't much different from previous models, analysts say. Things should pick up in the December quarter, analysts predict, after the expected release of what could be an iPhone 7 in early September. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/04/26/apples-poor-results-highlight-diminished-iphone-demand/83388452/

Here we go again. Ethnic cleansing? How? Who is cleansing who? When Boko Haram killed many people in North under a South-South President, it is not ethnic cleansing. To you, they are brothers killing themselves and they deserved no sympathy. It’s is Muslims fighting and killing fellow Muslims. It is Northerners killing their people and destroying their lands. When herdsmen moved to Jos and dealt with Berom people under a South-South President, it was not ethnic cleansing. To you, it’s none of your business. The Beroms were only being rewarded for accommodating these "deadly cows" in the first place. When the herdsmen moved downward razed down Agatu, destroyed farmlands and killed scores of people. To you, it’s not ethnic cleansing. The Agutus and the Fulanis are brothers. So it was fight between brothers who worked together to fight you during the Biafra war. When herdsmen move further South West and destroyed farmlands in Ondo and Osun, killed few people in the process; when Hausas clashed with Yorubas in Mile 12 and a lot of lives were lost and properties where destroyed, it wasn't ethnic cleansing. To you, the Yorubas were just reaping the reward of supporting and voting for a Fulaniman to emerge as President. To these groups, they don't deserve your pity or sympathy. They are your enemies; they colluded with the Hausa/Fulani people to truncate your Biafra dream. But when the same herdsmen invaded Enugu, killed people and razed down a village, suddenly it's ethnic cleansing. They are only acting to a grand plan script of Uthman Dan Fodio to conquer and occupy all lands under the Buhari regime. Haba! When will you stop flying ethnic and/or religious kites? It hasn't and will never move us forward as a nation. Tell me which group or region has not tasted the terror attacks of these blood-sucking killer herdsmen? They attacked Plateau, attacked Taraba, attacked Adamawa, attacked Benue, and attacked Ondo. Why would the attack on Enugu now be termed ethnic cleansing? Instead, why not let us see these "killer" herdsmen as a common enemy of Nigeria in total sum rather than an enemy who are out to wipe out a particular ethnic group? The herdsmen are enemies to you and I, to our people, to our men and women, to our young and old, to and region and religion and to our existence as a nation. It is cowardice to think that these killer herdsmen are in for ethnic cleansing. It is also cowardice for a serving governor to weep in the open in face of terror on his people and say, “Lets Fast and Pray for two days.” Pray and fast for two days what? When will we as a people learn to differentiate spiritual things from things that need “commonsense’? In the book, “Things Fall Apart“, Okonkwo said, “Let us not reason like cowards. If a man comes into my hut and defecates on the floor, what do I do? Do I shut my eyes? No! I take a stick and break his head. That is what a man does.” Enugu state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, acted like a man who shut his eyes when another man came into his hut and defecated on the floor and resorted to fasting and prayers. What then does he do with all the security votes he collects every month? The dangerous activities of the herdsmen can be likened to terrorist attack on our people and lands and as such they must be treated that way in our utterances and in our deeds. Our leaders still have a lot to learn in the art of leadership in the face of adversity. Every time, the US government teaches the world how to lead and motivate the people in the face of adversity but sadly, Nigerians leader just never learn. The following is a classical case of how our leaders ought to be behaving in the midst of adversity: When ISIS militants beheaded Steven Sotloff, an American journalist, Vice President Joe Biden did not weep in the open or ask Americans to pray and fast for two days or seek for peace with America attackers. Instead he sent probably the strongest warning in history to ISIS. he said, “American people are so much stronger, so much more resolved than any enemy can fully understand. As a nation, we’re united. And when people harm Americans, we don’t retreat. We don’t forget. We take care of those who are grieving. And when that’s finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of Hell until they are brought to justice. Because Hell is where they will reside. Hell is where they will reside.” The above words are true words of a leader not the weakly cry call of fasting and prayers call of Enugu state governor. Enugu State governor is a typical Nigerian leader – too weak and too timid, clueless and bereft of ideas. The only thing they are good at is the art of stealing public funds and fanning the amber of religion and ethnic sentiments. The only living Nigerian leader whose words has come close to Biden's in the face of adversity is President Buhari's warning to pipeline vandals. The threat of Herdsmen should not be treated with a kid's gloves. This is where I agree with an entry in Solomon Etim grandfather's diary dated 23/06/1923 on how to tackle the menace of herdsmen and I quote, "when you are violently attacked by whosoever your attacker is; the appropriate response should not be to preach peace to him/her. Descend on him/her coordinated violence more devastating to him/her that your attacker would plead for you to come to a round table conference to sign a peace accord." Finally, the above words of Vice President Biden underscore the importance of “Unity” in the face of adversity. The threat of the killer herdsmen is not to the particular ethnic group; it is not to wipe out a particular region or tribe. Rather it is a threat to our existence as a nation. And all must come together, united, to put an end to this new terror group, called herdsmen. God bless Nigeria. |
Davido might have severed ties with his popular HKN music, as he seemingly debuts another label, DMW(Davido Music Worldwide). If the self-proclaimed O.B.O’s recent social media post is anything to go by, the singer seems to have decided to float a label devoid of his family ties. It had been reported in the past week that Davido is allegedly not on good terms with one of his HKN label mates (a family member according to the singer), following his signing of new act, Mayorkun. The singer, who recently signed a mouth-watering deal with Sony Music, revealed the new label logo today on social media, with a simple but telling caption ‘MOVEMENT!!!!!’ http://thenet.ng/2016/04/end-of-hkn-music-davido-debuts-new-label/?utm_source=&utm_medium=facebook

Marijuana, best-known for its "feel-good" effects and touted for its ability to relieve various symptoms of illness and disease, can also be damaging, especially when overused. When weed's active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), hits the brain, it causes cells to release dopamine. It's a part of the brain's reward system, the same chemical that makes us feel good when we do enjoyable things such as eating and having sex. Pot also contains cannabidiol (CBD), and this chemical — while not responsible for getting you high — is thought to be responsible for many of marijuana's therapeutic effects . Most of THC's effects take place in the brain, where it interacts with receptors on brain cells called cannabinoid receptors. Our bodies naturally produce compounds that activate them, but THC co-opts these pathways to produce its effects. Depending on how much and how often you use, marijuana's effects can vary widely. http://www.businessinsider.com/physical-and-mental-effects-of-marijuana-2016-4?utm_content=buffer90cf1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Muhammed Babangida, the son of former head of state, Ibrahim Babangida, has finally confirmed the widely reported illness of his father.We reported it here few days ago that Nigeria’s former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd), is seriously ill, as a source close to his hilltop mansion in Minna, the Niger State capital, revealed to a correspondent. The source also disclosed that the former military leader has been ill for a while, resulting in his inability to attend most public functions. Though the real cause of his illness could not be ascertained, the source apart from saying that it was age-related, added that he might be suffering from a relapse of the radiculopathy disease which has troubled the former Nigerian leader since he was head of state. Just like we all expected, the son of the former head of state, Muhammed Babangida, has finally confirmed the illness of his father. Speaking about his father’s ill health to Encomium.ng. He noted that Babangida is still recovering after a corrective surgery recently as a result of radiculopathy disease. He dispelled fears over the current health status of his father and said: “It’s nothing new that IBB has radiculopathy, everybody knows that. But he has just gone through a corrective surgery and he’s recuperating at the moment. And if you will reason with me, being an old man it will take some time for the surgery to heal. “Even, he’s supposed to be at home resting. But he had to attend the valedictory service for the former Chief Judge of Niger state because of his relationship with him. That’s the reason he stepped out few days ago. http://nigeriacamera.net/former-president-ibrahim-babangidas-son-breaks-silence-fathers-illness/

A man has recounted how he endured marriage for so many years and finally freed himself after waiting for all his kids grow up and leave home. He also left his properties and cash for his wife who he said he had second thoughts about almost immediately after they got married. According to him, “I was having second thoughts about the marriage almost immediately. I was thinking about asking for an annulment, but then we got pregnant. So I stuck it out for 20 years. I did really well for myself during that time. I was making $100,000 per year as a lawyer. That was a lot of money in the sixties. We lived on the finest street in Charlotte. But I was still miserable. So the moment the kids were grown, I took off. I left my wife everything. I left her the house, the bank account, the Mercedes, everything. I didn’t even say goodbye. I just dictated a note to my secretary, called the Rolls Royce dealership, and told them to pick up the car at the airport. I flew to New York with nothing but $800, screaming: Free at last, free at last, free at last!” http://nigeriacamera.net/62626-2/

Sex has become more important than love in today’s world. Many people’s idea of love is centered more around how you can rock my world not so much on how true our connection is. A generation of men and women dying for attention. Women adore getting hit on and being called freaks. They enjoy showing and giving the goodies; and men love attracting attention, advertising their tongue game, their material possessions, and their body count. It’s all backwards, we’re undoubtedly chasing lust with the idea that it’s going to turn into love. We are backwards. We’ve gotten to a point where we believe sex after marriage is for idiots, lame folks, people who are ugly, and weirdos. If it’s not about that good sex then why be with them right? You need to be pleased right? Well we are getting pleasure and heartbreaks. A bunch of soul ties for orgasms. We fill our voids with sex and using promiscuity to define our identity because in this generation that stuff gets you the eyes. It’s all about good head, big butts, and good sex sessions more than anything. Only if we could see how much we are hurting ourselves. If we could postpone sex until marriage how much better would it make things? Well here’s some beliefs you can get out of your mind and maybe you can see why it’s better to put sex on hold. 1.) It’s just sex, it’s part of a relationship. Nope sex clouds your judgement – we often hear sex complicates things. Most of us don’t know how and don’t care but it does. They say love makes you do stupid things, but good sex can make you make stupid decisions. Imagine meeting someone you have nothing in common with. You can clearly see if you had a relationship with them it would going no where, but loneliness led you to go out to a party with them, drinks got involved, and bam it happened. The sex was good but he or she is a bad match. Well what happened? Your lust filled heart will raise your curiosity and justifying will start. After sleeping together a few times eventually you’ll start saying “this ain’t that bad, this isn’t that bad.” How many times have we fell for someone who we didn’t even like from the start? We settled because they were giving us something we felt we needed at the time. Sex makes more things acceptable. It makes compromising easier, and really sometimes goes against logic. When you choose to keep sex out you get to know the person for who they truly are. If you fall in love with them, you fall in love with the real them, real connections, a real bond not influenced by anything. Most men won’t stick around if they aren’t getting sex. Why would you want to be with someone who can’t be with you because of no sex? How did the older generation make it? They valued sex, and many practiced it only in marriage. Don’t you see how their love stories are different from ours. 2.) Someone who is as freaky as me is a good match – What I think our generation doesn’t understand the most is that sex isn’t everything, and being a freak isn’t anything special. Anyone can become a freak to someone they are attracted to. Both women and men are freaks. It just takes the right bond. Being freaky is about having very little to no boundaries when it comes to doing whatever it takes to please the person you love. The problem is we’re doing all that for people we think we love. Giving everyone else your future wife or husband’s surprise away. The person you marry should be the one bringing out the real freak in you. Who better to experiment and do all the crazy things with than the person who will be yours till death comes between you both. 3.) I have to test drive the car before I buy it. - So you’re a car? You do know every time you test drive a car you put mileage on it. A lot of people who have that idea aren’t doing test drives. They are leasing it. In reality we want to be a car or get a car with high mileage, but want to be valued like a new car when we find someone who’s willing to keep us. No offense but a car loses its value over time as more mileage gets added to it. We are talking about one of the most important things God ever created. We’re starting to care about sex more than we care about a real connection that goes beyond the physical. If you wait to find someone you love and marry them trust me if you love the person there’s no way the sex can be that bad, and if it is who better to work on improving your sex life with then your spouse. Sex is supposed to be a learning experience as well. Like everything else practice makes perfect. The idea should not be to practice with everyone else and then be ready for your soulmate. That’s like learning all the plays from one football team, and transferring to another one once it’s game time then saying, “I got it all down. I’m ready to play.” 4.) Its all for pleasure, just fun – many may disagree with this because society has redefined the purpose of sex using it as a product more than anything. However, soul ties exist. Every time you have sex with someone you are giving a part of yourself to them. Someone you’re most likely not going to marry. Someone once got a piece of scotch tape and told me see it like this.They kept putting the tape on different people and taking it off. Overtime the tape couldn’t stick because the value died. It lost its purpose. I am not saying if you have sex you are not valuable, but I’m saying sex can be more meaningful. Soul ties exist. That’s why some people are holding on to some people who treat them worst than dogs. Many think it’s love when it’s really an emotional attachments caused by a sexual connection. It’s wise to guard yourself against that, and only have soul ties with your soul mate. Sex is powerful, and it’s best if you use it right. Committing (and by committing for me it means marriage) before you start sleeping around is wise. Commitment may mean just a good relationship to you, no judgement here. It’s hard to not desire sex. It’s hard to not go to that person who always makes you feel good. It’s’s hard, it’s hard, it’s hard, especially in a world where sex is really everything. Everyone is talking about it and doing it, but one thing I’ve learned is part of maturity means learning to delay pleasure and staying disciplined. Saving sex until you are committed will save so much pain, dissapointment, and confusion. Challenge yourself in that area and see. I’ve fallen for a woman just because of good sex before thinking I was in love. It wasn’t until I was out of the relationship and started a spiritual journey that I noticed all we had in common was sex. It’s all we used to solve everything, and the only interaction we had. There’s more to it. You deserve to give this beautiful gift God gave us to the one God chose for you. You deserve a relationship without clouded judgement; a love that isn’t fueled by false emotions/lust and so forth. https://gentlemenhood.com/sex-shouldnt-come-commitment/4/ |

For ethnic Hausa, the traditional form of boxing known as dambe is more than a sport - it is part of their identity. Abuja, Nigeria - Just off the motorway that links the Italian stone mansions of the Nigerian capital's pricey Minister's Hill neighbourhood to the settlements of corrugated-tin roof shacks on the outskirts, is a nondescript path. It leads to Dei Dei, one of Abuja's low-income communities. The road is dotted with fruit sellers and their piles of mangoes; motorcyclists honking impatiently at giggling girls as they cross the street; mannequins in second-hand underwear; and stray goats, chickens and dogs. Beside the road is a field scattered with cigarette butts, broken beer bottles and cars. Among them is a grey Toyota Corolla with a steering wheel security lock. It belongs to thirtysomething-year-old Abdulaziz Abdulaziz. This place is a "criminal's den", he says. "So one has to be watchful, especially with cars that can easily be stolen or broken into." An age-old custom Abdulaziz lives 30 minutes away from Dei Dei, in the heart of Abuja. But something has lured him here, just as it does thousands of others several times a month. It's a traditional form of boxing known as dambe. No one seems certain how long it has been around for. But, in the past, ethnic Hausa butchers who travelled from village to village to slaughter animals for weddings and festivals would organise fights to display their bravery and attract unmarried women. It has since evolved into a competitive martial art, practised by young people in communities across Nigeria, Chad and Niger. These days, the fighters don flamboyant hairstyles and colours and adopt catchy stage names to enhance their celebrity-like appeal. There's one called Horror' and another known as Ebola. Sani Aleka is a dambe coach who says the game appeared in Hausaland, in northwestern Nigeria, some time around the 1940s. But Ibrahim Satatima, a Hausa scholar and professor at Bayero University in Kano, northern Nigeria, says the sport can be traced much further back. "Dambe has been in Hausaland since before the advent of Islam," he says. "And Islam came into Hausaland between the 6th and 7th century." The sport is, he says, a source of pride and a symbol of cultural identity for many Hausa people. A chance to be a hero After three rounds of kicks and jabs, the unarmed boxers are sometimes left with broken jaws, bleeding eyes, shattered teeth and cracked ribs. The punching hand - called the spear - is tied with rope called kara, while the weaker hand acts as a shield. The aim is to knock your opponent down. But if that sounds brutal, it is nothing compared to how it used to be - when pieces of glass were woven in with the rope to ensure maximum damage. That is now banned but, still, boxers sometimes die in the ring. The violence of the fight stuns Abdulaziz, who started watching dambe only a few months ago. He winces as two slim young men swipe at each other's faces. Dust rises as one stamps his foot. The other bares his teeth and slaps his thigh. Barefoot and bare-chested, they pace around the dirt ring until one is floored or "killed", as they say here. The fallen fighter hides his face in embarrassment as the victor parades through the crowd behind a procession of musicians, stopping to pose with his fans and flex his muscles. The 23-year-old is known as Shagon Dan Kanawa, which means "son of Kano" - a reference to the city he comes from - but his real name is Mohammed Izazuddin Hassan, and he's been on a winning streak for months. He thanks God and his mother before kneeling down so his admirers can drop money on him. Naira notes fall all around. For a poor Hausa man, this is what dambe is about - a chance to be a hero and to make anything from $20 to $500. And that money can mean a lot in a place where poverty is brutal. A city for the rich Snuggled in the valleys of rocky hills and eroding monoliths, Abuja's sprawling landscape underwent a decades-long transformation to become one of Africa's first planned cities. It is also one of the most expensive to live in. A taxi driver who asked not to be named frowns at the mere mention of the city. "Abuja is where the people who have stolen ... this country's money stay," he says. "Me, I no like Abuja at all. It no be for poor man like me." For many, Abuja epitomises Nigeria's cavernous class divide. In the city of at least two million, a one-bedroom apartment can cost around $13,000 a year - and that rent is expected up front. Business tycoons play golf at the country club named after Ibrahim Babangida, the country's former military ruler, as the children of the elite drive the latest SUVs through tree-lined boulevards. But hidden in the shade of acacias are children with holes in their flip-flops and mothers holding hungry babies. When the cars stop at the traffic lights, they rush forward to plead for money. Dodging between the cars are children who sell everything from ground nuts to wiper blades. But they disappear at the sight of the city's task force officers. Street hawking is not allowed here and, if caught, their wares could be seized. The message is clear: Abuja is for the rich. Most of those who work in the city centre cannot afford to live there, so they reside in the shanties that are clustered along the thoroughfares. Driving home after a dambe match, Abdulaziz observes the cars and buses heading in the opposite direction. "It's really cruel, this class thing," he says. "The city is highly segregated between the rich and the poor and the poor get very shoddy treatment because actually the slums, because I wouldn't call them settlements, the slums around Abuja are just not habitable. "You see places with no access road, no water. Some places don't even have light. And the arrangement is just haphazard and to access some places is hell. So, to think these are the people servicing the city, but being dismissed into some places is just not right." Dei Dei is one of the larger makeshift settlements. It has little in the way of a water or electricity supply and petty crime abounds, but still, every Sunday, hundreds of people head there to watch dambe. A poor man's sport The grittiness of dambe sits in sharp contrast to the ostentatious wealth of Abuja. At the Dei Dei dambe boxing ground, Abuja's labourers cheer on their local champions as a toenail cutter walks around with rusty nail clippers, making hissing sounds to attract custom. A guy spoons ice cream from a cooler for 100 naira ($0.50) a cone. "This is a poor man's sport," says Jafaar Jafaar, a friend who accompanies Abdulaziz on a Sunday morning when almost 1,000 spectators are present. As middle-class men who live in the city centre, Abdulaziz and Jafaar are a bit of an oddity in this crowd. Abdulaziz says his friends jeer at him whenever he tells them he is going to Dei Dei to watch dambe. But it isn't only those watching who are poor. Many of the boxers are teetering on the poverty line. A win, and they may be OK for a while. But a loss could mean being without money for weeks. So, they play with passion. Each strike could determine whether or not they can afford to pay next week's rent. A spiritual process Drumming builds up the excitement among the boxers and the crowd. The singer's voice rises. "If it is your turn today, tomorrow it will be someone else's turn," he sings in Hausa. The fighters are decorated in amulets - strands of animal hair wrapped around gemstones, verses of the Quran written on scraps of paper. Although most of the boxers define themselves as Muslim, syncretistic spirituality is deeply entrenched in dambe. Each boxer undergoes an elaborate fortification ritual. They wear charms around their neck, drink homemade herbal tonics and mix leaves with their blood. Their arms are lined with the scars of dozens of self-inflicted cuts. Victorious boxer Hassan says some of his are just a few weeks old. First, he cuts with a small blade, he explains. Then he stuffs ground leaves inside the bleeding gash. The palm of his punching hand is painted red and black with herbs and henna. "When I don't use this, I won't have power in the hand," he says. A few weeks ago, he was punched in the chest by a boxer who he says used spiritual power. "Him use poison to blow me in my chest," he says. "You know the blow that is not normal." Like other boxers who experience injuries, Hassan did not go to a hospital. A spiritual healer gave him a potion to drink. Afterwards, Hassan says he vomited green liquid. He believes that represented the supernatural poison leaving his body. After that, Hassan says he regained his power and returned to the ring, winning one match after another. This spiritual element elevates dambe to something more than a sport. This is Hausa culture. "It's the only traditional thing that I can spend time on," says Lawal Mohamed. "I come here several times a week. If I am not here, my mind will not be at rest. I will be thinking about dambe." The 51-year-old second-hand car salesman started watching dambe when he was nine years old. Today, he was so eager to go to Dei Dei that he told a customer who was about to pay for one of his cars to wait until after the game. It is these sorts of fans that keep dambe alive, but few would want their children to participate. Deep down, they know that even though dambe boxers are celebrated in their local communities, the glamour is fleeting. Theirs is a rough life. With each blow, dambe fighters sacrifice their bodies to preserve a cherished Hausa tradition. After three hours of fighting, the crowd disperses. The photographers selling printed photos of champion boxers leave. Prostitutes stoll away with their customers; musicians pack up their drums; boxers hop onto motorcycles or into the back of vans. Dambe's uncertain future Hassan and some of the other boxers live in the red-light community of Tafa. It's a noisy truckers' stop along the motorway from Abuja, where drug dealers go about their work in the open. Abdulaziz describes it as a place for "people of the underworld". The son of a housewife and an Islamic scholar, Hassan does not smoke and is critical of boxers who take drugs. "Some boxers are not going to school and they can't speak English or Arabic. They no know Allah. Me, I want to go back to school. I finished secondary school. I speak Arabic," he says. He hopes to study electrical engineering at university. With the money earned from dambe, he has bought five cows. He supports his widowed mother and six siblings and pays for one of his brothers to attend university. But he knows that his days as a boxing hero are numbered; the constant beatings could destroy him or leave him penniless, just as it has other one-time champions. Fifty-two-year-old Abdulkadir Lawan fought for eight years. He was a champion, but now he says he regrets being a dambe boxer. "I don't even want my eight children to do dambe," he says. Still, Lawan wears the charms worn by other retired boxers to symbolise the spirit of dambe and shows up at the Dei Dei boxing ring every day to entertain the crowd with his dancing and jokes. But now, he says, he's planning to retire from that role as well. Dambe faces an uncertain future in Abuja. Pressure from the government has forced the dambe organisers to relocate at least five times in the past 10 years, according to coach Aleka. But the owner of the Dei Dei boxing ring, Ali Zuma, is optimistic about dambe's future. Men from other ethnic groups in Nigeria, such as Igbo and Yoruba, are also starting to play, and Zuma says this cultural assimilation can help preserve the sport. Zuma tries to get wealthy men to patronise the sport. But some say he is part of the problem and boxers complain about his management. Many say he does not pay them well. Hassan says that when his chest injury left him out of the ring for five days, Zuma did not compensate him, although he felt he should have. Hassan thinks about money a lot. He wants more of it so that he can move from where he lives. It's a dark, single room with a cement floor which he finds so embarrassing that he doesn't even want his siblings to visit him there. On this Monday morning, Hassan finds the door to his room locked. His landlord has locked him out for the third time this year for failure to pay his rent. It's 2,000 naira ($10) a week. Hassan will have to sleep at a friend's place tonight. But he doesn't seem fazed. It's the life of a dambe star. "You see, this old room is my room," he says. "And because of only 2,000 naira they done close the door." http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2016/04/boxing-nigeria-life-hard-knocks-poor-160419153636736.html

Truth be told, if after 20 years as an Arsenal coach, Arsene wenger could only win 3 EPL titles, 6 FA cup, No european Cup (Champions league or Europa), it's a very poor record. He should honourably resign, Arsenal is bigger than a single individual. Personally I don't see Arsene taking arsenal any further, he has nothing new to offer to Arsenal. #SackArsene# #WengerOUT# |
A 60-year-old woman, Asabi Adebayo, has been arrested by the police in Oyo State for allegedly buying five babies at N5million from Port-Harcourt, Rivers State. The suspect, who planned to fly the babies abroad for sale, was said to have brought them to an orphanage in Ibadan to obtain a certified police report for them when the bubble burst. Commissioner of Police Leye Oyebade, who paraded the suspect and the babies yesterday at the Eleyele Police Headquarters, said the woman would have escaped if not for the patriotic behavior of the officials of the orphanage, who reported the matter at the Iyaganku Police Station. The suspect, who said she hailed from Lagos State, is also a British citizen. The ages of the babies, (two boys and three girls) range from two years, eight months, seven months, six months and four months. The babies have been taken to the Ministry of Women Affairs, Child Welfare; the suspect is assisting the police in their investigation. The police commissioner said officers, who accompanied the suspect to Port-Harcourt where she claimed to have bought the babies, have not been able to apprehend the sellers. The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Iyaganku, Mr Ojopagogo, said: “ A woman, who operates an orphanage came to our station last Thursday and reported to us that a 60-year-old woman came to them that she had five children and that she needed police report for the children to be flown abroad . “Our detectives, led by a Superintendent of Police (SP) from the Juvenile Welfare Section, went to arrest the suspect. “After her arrest, the suspect told us that she got the children for N5million and that she bought the children from a woman in Port-Harcourt. We travelled with the suspect to Port-Harcourt, unfortunately we could not find the woman.” Also paraded were three young men- Ganiyu Taiwo (29) a meat seller, Adam Adeleke (20) furniture maker and Ayuba Jubril (19) –who confessed to breaking into a girls’ hostel, stealing phones, laptops and other valuables at Oke-Ogun Poly, Saki, Oyo State.

A bricklayer, Femi Adeyemi, a father of three, confessed to robbing his boss of his car. A man, Taiwo Samson, who bought a stolen Range Rover, was also paraded. Another man, Daramola Adewale, 34, a food stuff seller, was paraded for threatening to post nude pictures of his girlfriend online, if she failed to pay him N50,000. http://nigeriacamera.net/62418-2/

The Federal government has disclosed that the lingering fuel crisis which has crippled socio-economic activities in the country will end next week. Speaking to State House Correspondents after the Federal Executive Council Meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu,ssaid that the queues were expected to completely disappear by the end of next week. According to the Minister, Kachikwu the scarcity was as a result of sabotage,while thanking Nigerians for their patience so far. Kachikwu also said the NNPC is delivering about 1,200 trucks daily and by next week hopefully every part of the country will get fuel. His words “The queues are as a result of sabotage. Some people rather than sell products send them into interlands where they can sell at ridiculous prices and so you are having this price distortions where people are making a lot of money, some are internal and some are external but a lot of it is marketers trying to make quick returns on their investments wrongly. “We have asked DPR to deploy officials to ensure products are sold at the right because is only through price stabilization that these system queues will disappear. He added that“As at today we are delivering about 1,200 trucks, by weekend we should be delivering same number of trucks, it will take a bit of days to even out but you can see improvement already. I hope by the end of next week with the refineries helping us to stay on course, every part of the country will get fuels. “We thank President, NNPC staff and ministries who work night and day to enforce discipline. “We thank Nigerians for their unbelievable level of patience, we are solving problem we met on ground and trying to find long term solution to it and urge Nigerians to report sabotage, where people are selling product on higher price because we all need to work collectively to make this thing go for good”. http://www.leadership.ng/news/520239/fuel-scarcity-ends-next-week-fg

When the journey of childlessness in a marriage ended with a multiple birth of quadruplets, a family in the midst of their joy, still had to call on kind-hearted Nigerians to come to their rescue, Peace Obi writes The intrigues of life have remained a puzzle that even the wisest men and women are yet to solve. And neither has the ever-advancement in science and technology, nor religion with its spirituality to decipher the pattern and the direction the wind of life will always go. Characterised by such ‘bizzare’ happenings like while some are smiling, celebrating and popping champagne in acknowledgment of things working in their favour, others at the same time-frame are mourning and counting their losses. And the simple explanation will always be that life treats people differently! The above descriptions tell the story of a couple in a way. That while they prayed and anxiously waited for an end into the journey of childlessness in their marriage, that even when it eventually ended, the result has turned out to be a heavy weight on the couple’s lean shoulders. For Mr. Nnaemeka Simon Nnamani and Mrs. Ifeoma Nnamani, it took 15 years to have a real experience of parenthood. For the couple, the joy of cuddling and having the children they can call theirs remains an experience that they lack words to express. But right in the middle of their joy and celebration of crossing the bar of fruitless marriage to being proudly parents of four children from a multiple birth, lies the pang, pain and difficulty of fending for these four wonderful children that brought the reproach of childlessness to an end in their lives. The couple’s situation reminds one of the nursery prayer rhymes often sang when the school children want to observe their lunch break “some have food but cannot eat, some can eat but have no food…” However, the family has on its own, a unique experience to share – the uncommon feat of exclusively breastfeeding the quadruplets with breast milk for the first six months of the infants’ lives. Presenting the family at a press conference organised by the Colostrum International, the General Secretary, Mr. Ayo Dahunsi in a brief remarks noted that the essence of the day’s event was to showcase the possibility of practicing exclusive breastfeeding even when it concerns multiple births. According to Dahunsi, it is an issue a lot of people have argued and said that it is not possible to achieve. “But today, we are presenting this family for support and encouragement to people out there who are faced with similar circumstance. It is also to appreciate the fact that it is quite possible to practice exclusive breastfeeding even when they have multiple births circumstance”, Dahunsi assured. The Project Co-ordinator, Colostrum International, Dr. Bunmi Ogundimu reiterating the NGO’s commitment to the propagation of exclusive breastfeeding as a fundamental tool for child survival and development, said, “We appreciate the benefit of breastfeeding first to the child, then to the mother, the family and to the nation as a whole. Because with breastfeeding, the total being is made.” Buttressing some of the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding, Ogundimu said, “Breastfeeding has been proven scientifically to afford children the best growth of their brain and this is why you will see that breastfed children have very high intelligence, they are always very sharp, strong, and alert. These are the quality of people we need in this nation”, she enthused. Speaking further, the Project Co-ordinator noted that “the efforts of the breastfeeding mothers are appreciated by Colostomy International. And so, when we heard that God blessed this family with five children at a time, we immediately saw our duty in the situation and we visited them and encourage them. “What we are saying is that breastfeeding a single child may be easy, it may not be easy for twins, that is a bit more difficult for triplets but when we are talking about four or five babies, then it becomes a challenge. And they really need to be supported. “This family here, actually did exclusive breastfeeding for all their children and the evidence is before all of us here. They are healthy-looking, they are strong, they are alert; their brain function is as expected as a human child, because the mother has made the sacrifice.” Ogundimu who said the reason for pushing Ifeoma Nnamani’s story to the public on how she practicalised exclusive breastfeeding for her four surviving children is because “it is going to be an encouragement to all mothers, especially those who feel that breastfeeding is a task, that they cannot do it and that they don’t want to do it.” Sharing her exclusive breastfeeding experience for her quadruplets, Ifeoma said that the determination and encouragement started from the doctors that coordinated the delivery of the children through caesarean operation in California, United States of America. According to her, the doctors encouraged her to procure a breast pump to make it easier for her to express enough breast milk for the children. “It wasn’t that easy for me. When the Colostrum International heard about the story, they came to our rescue because it wasn’t easy for the family. They supported me and advised me to stick to exclusive breastfeeding for the four surviving children. And ever since then, they have been supporting the family with a monthly package, in fact they have been of tremendous help to the family. “Though the children are 14 months now, I am still breastfeeding them. They have not been to hospital for any sickness. I am using this opportunity to advise mothers even the one that had five children recently in Ibadan to feed their children on exclusive break milk, because it makes them to be healthy. “Many people are coming to my house to see how the children will look like. For some, they think they will be very tiny but when they come and see how healthy they are looking, they will be shouting and asking me how manage? But given the fact that the children’s demand for food, health, education, among others increases along with their age. And more importantly, now that the exclusive breastfeeding is over, the Nnamani’s joy of being blessed with four children in a single maternity after 15 years of childlessness is seemed to be threatened by the family’s lack of financial capacity to cater for their bundle of joy. Crying out for help to people with milk of human kindness to come to the family’s aid, Ifeoma said, “I am using this opportunity to appeal to Nigerians to kindly help me, it is not easy for the family. Parents know what it takes to take care of a single child, not to talk of the burden of taking care of four children. I am using this platform given to me by the Colostrum International to appeal to Nigerians to kindly help me.” For Mr. and Mrs. Nnamani, June 2014 will remain indelible in their mind – when Ifeoma was confirmed to be pregnant with her babies. For them, it marked the beginning of the journey into their change of identity that was crowned on December 11, 2014. The once known and addressed as barren couple by reason of a single maternity that produced five babies became Daddy and Mummy of the four surviving children – three boys and a girl. “It wasn’t that easy for me. I waited for 15 years believing God for the fruit of the womb. June, 2014, God answered me, I conceived and was delivered of five children on December 11, 2014 but one did not make it.” The battle for the survival of the mother and the then unborn children took the Nnamanis out of the shores of this country through the help of relations, friends and well wishers. Narrating how the family mobilised the fund with which they procured the visa and other logistics to travel to the United States for the delivery, Ifeoma said, “Due to my health condition, the doctor at Cupa Hospital, Ajao Estate where I registered for antenatal, advised me to seek medical attention outside the country. But the cost was just too much for my family to bear. I was also referred to LUTH but when I was told that we should prepare our mind for a 50:50 outcome, I resorted to a specialist hospital in Abuja – Deda Specialist Hospital, Gwarimpa. There, the specialist, Dr. Onuh after assessing the situation, reiterated the need for us to pursue the option of going abroad.” The 43-year-old woman, who presently works with an electricity company (Ikeja Electric) in Lagos, told journalists that everything about the conception and delivery of the children remained a surprise to the family. According to her, the pregnancy did not come until they have resigned their fate to God after several attempts through fertility treatments to conceive failed them. “With the help of the specialist in Abuja, we got the necessary links and connection that facilitated the eventual visit to the US for the delivery of the babies through a caesarean operation. “And also through the help we got from kind-hearted people, my husband and I traveled to California for the delivery. I had them at six months through a caesarean operation. But along the line, we ran out of cash after the delivery, because the babies were kept in an incubator for a month and three weeks (56 days) at the rate of 3,200 dollars every day. But through the insurance company we registered with, some days were paid while we resorted to borrowing and contributions from some Nigerians over there. Even up till now, we are still owing some people that helped us. And the people are calling us to pay them their money.” Corroborating the wife’s claim and appeal, Nnamani noted that going to the public to solicit for help was something if he has a way would avoid, stressing the family condition has forced him into swallowing his pride just to avoid watching God’s blessing slipped off their hands as a result of inability to meet their demands. According to the 48-year-old Nnamani, an indigene of Akpu-Ugo in Nkanu Local Government of Enugu State who has been out of business for some time now said, “I used to sell in Idumota but when my shop along with others was razed during 2012 December 26, fire incident, I lost everything. Since then, I have been struggling. In fact, at the moment I am practically doing nothing because we spent the little we have to secure my wife’s life and the babies.” Nnamani acknowledging the assistance the Californian doctors and the people rendered to him and the wife, said that the US government could not come to their aid because they were not American citizens, but that President Barack Obama sent them a congratulatory card.

It's the year 2016 and everyone is obsessed with big butts. Almost all major female celebrities and artists, (*cough*Nicki Minaj*cough* *cough*) have butt implants that make their behind look huge and attractive. However, in a hilarious turn of events, singer-songwriter K. Michelle ended up freezing her butt implants! She ended up tripping over her own butt (ouch!) and was rushed to a hospital. "I mean it was just artificial a$$ everywhere!"- said one of the nurses at the hospital. “R.I.P. to dat ass” Said one fan on K. Michelle’s Instagram account after hearing the news. Singer K. Michelle was rushed to a New York hospital shortly after leaving an interview at The Breakfast Club after her butt shots reached freezing temperatures causing the singer to topple over in pain. “I mean it was just artificial ass everywhere” – Nurse. Her record label is panicking, because 97% of K. Michelle’s audience actually buys her album just to see the nekkid ass picture she leaves in the sleeve of every CD insert. This is why you don’t get butt implants because you never know what could happen when you get them, K. Michelle didn’t know this was going happen to her. I bet she regrets getting these, because now she doesn’t have that perfect butt anymore, now she’s probably going to have a lot of problems with it from here on out. The butt may be the most looked at part of the body but their is no reason to have this done and risk having this happen to you. 1. K. Michelle got fake implants in her butt big mistake… 2. She was rushed to the hospital after her Butt implants froze. 3. Her butt looked nice and big… But now we don’t know if she is going to have a butt after tp this. 4. May this be a warning to everyone that its a very good idea to get butt implants. http://thatgudstuff.com/k-michelle-hospitalized-after-her-butt-shots-reached-freezing-temperature/

The on-going war between Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji and pop star, Wizkid has taken a new turn. For starters, Wizkid and Linda Ikeji aren’t best of friends. WIZKID continues to express his disdain for the blogger and never fails to take shots at her at any opportunity. Ikeji, who’s developed a thick skin, after years of multiple celeb spats, hasn’t let the singer’s attitude debar her from covering his misdemeanours. She joined other blogs to report on his alleged second baby mama. But their beef got worse early April when Linda Ikeji’s blog alleged that Wizkid had been served a quit notice from his Lekki residence in Lagos. Wizkid who was at Congo at the time took to social media to lash out at the blogger. He was uncouth in his rant, even threatening to arrange to have the blogger beaten. ‘If I ever see you, I’ll get my 16 year old cousin to beat the shit out of you’ he said. Many pundits told THENETng at the time that there are legal implications should the blogger report to the police. We can now confirm that Ikeji has reported the threat to the Lagos State commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni. A source with details told Nigerian Entertainment Today a summon has been issued to Wizkid, with an invitation letter sent to the Surulere office of his manager, SundayAre. ‘He was instructed to show up today but he did not’, a source told us. His manager, Sunday Are didn’t pick our calls or respond to our messages. We also reached out to ASP Olorunfemi Shemof Lagos state police who promised to get back to us. He has not responded as at the time of publishing this report. Linda Ikeji declined to comment. According to a legal source, Section 323 of the criminal code states that ‘Any person who, knowing the contents thereof directly or indirectly causes any person to receive any writing threatening to kill any person is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for 7 years’. http://thenet.ng/2016/04/net-exclusive-linda-ikeji-drags-wizkid-to-lagos-police-commissioner/

omogin:Yeah. But it's so unfortunate that the Distinguish Senator Ben Murray Bruce has forgotten that charity begins at home. It is now time for them to realise, that charity begins at home and to get their house (state) in order first, otherwise the workers will be going with begging bowls to other states/well meaning people for handouts. Charity begins at home, so I was taught. |
Caseless:That's "Double standard" |
It is now clear that the Social Media senator of the year Distinguish Senator Ben Murray Bruce is no different from all other nigeria politician. How come he is silent about the unpaid salary of bayelsa Workers. Remember when same situation played out in Osun state,he rushed and offered to give his salary,now its happening in his own state and the so call common sense senator is Mute about it. Its a Shame!! |
