The report states that 87% of the poverty resides in the north. In other words, 13% of those not poor in the north are the southerners that reside over there. And what a burden.

Boxing Day got its name when Queen Victoria was on the throne in the 1800s and has nothing to do with the sport of boxing.

The name comes from a time when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor.

Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants, and the day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters.

The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.

The day also has religious connections and is celebrated as Saint Stephen's Day in Ireland and the Catalonia region of Spain.

In some European countries - such as Hungary, Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands - Boxing Day is celebrated as a second Christmas Day.

Dear Professor,
Please show relevance: "Sir: Jesus of Nazareth is the biological son of Joseph and Mary. Jesus Christ, on the other hand, is the God incarnate, Son of the Virgin Mary. The benefit of following the former, according to Seef Konijn, in his The Bridge from Old to New in Christian Belief (1973), is that you are expected to emulate him, while Jesus Christ, who is God is Wholly Other."

Untruth. He has fought corruption more than any other Nigerian leader: I notice that 2003 to 2015 when Major General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) was seeking to become Nigeria’s President, he was lamenting infrastructural decay. But, after getting power in 2015, his priorities changed to self-aggrandizement, the war against Boko Haram and protection of the Fulani herdsmen terrorists.

How many Nigerians know the implications of the politicians bent on politicising Islam and Christianity? The politicians know that once they settle the Pastors and the Alufas, those “men and women of God” will persuade Nigerians that they (the politicians) are trying and that Nigerians should be patient. That is how Nigerians have been allowing the unjustifiable war against the Boko Haram Islamic sect-community of men, women, and children that did not attack anybody until attacked by the presidency of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, compounded by Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, and aggravated by GMB who adds protection of the Fulani herdsmen terrorists, raping, killing and sacking agrarian communities, 2015 till date. Yet, I read that GMB, on Monday, December 9, 2019 “reiterated his government’s commitment to guaranteeing protection of the rule of law and sanctity of human lives.” Does he know the meaning of those words and expressions? Found out through his brutalities, including his lawlessness against Omoyele Sowore, et al.

GMB is now using all sorts of distraction to cover up his brutalities in the squandering of human lives and economic resources. In the course of degrading Boko Haram, he degraded Nigeria’s security and economy. He is dodging accountability for his petroleum ministry and recovery of looted funds. He has just given an extremely tall order to the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), to give a daily account of income and expenditure. Easily done as the system is computerised. How is that possible in a diverse and complex system, such as a whole country? Yet, I heard some local people on the University of Ilorin FM, saying exactly what the GMB’s foolery was calculated to generate, that GMB is an icon of transparency. That is the same GMB who doubles himself as the petroleum minister, and is recovering looted funds without accountability for anything to anybody. If GMB is an icon of transparency, he should order the AGF to account for what he (GMB) gulped when he spent more than hundred days and more than forty days in London, where he grounded the presidential jet with wanton abandon.
Prof. Ọlọjẹẹde Oyeniran Abiọjẹ wrote from the University of Ilorin.

What did GMB’s war against Boko Haram and the protection of the Fulani herdsmen terrorists cost Nigeria on daily basis, 2015 to date? Some unthinking people even lauded Ahmed Bola Tinubu as “a social transformer”, for demolishing people’s houses and shops as “shanties”, making Lagos look beautiful, artificially, with open defecation and acute shortage of pipe borne water. How can people get good leaders, when they don’t even know what to hail and what to condemn? That is why Nigerians are extremely easy to fool. That is why Charles Oputa (Charley Boy) used the adjective Mumu (idiots, in American parlance) to describe them. GMB ordered the AGF to give daily accounts of income and expenditure as if Nigeria were a simple shop and GMB is eulogised as a saint for that foolish order. God have mercy on Nigeria.

Whilst in Nigeria a while back, I was able to fetch it in local pharmacies. Speak to your GP about it.

Your starting point will be to report him to the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) who will then investigate and if found culpable will remove his licence to practice as a lawyer. Before you lodge the complaint with the NBA make sure that you tell your uncle in order to persuade him to refund your money before you take the drastic steps.

I notice igbo don't name their children ojukwu. There must be a reason for that.

That is because Ojukwu is a surname, not a first name, just like Awolowo, Akintola, Obasanjo,

A woman baked bread for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra bread on the Window-sill, for whosoever would take it away. Everyday, a hunch-back came and took away the bread. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" This went on, day after day. Everyday, the hunch-back came, picked up the bread and uttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of gratitude," she said to herself... "Everyday this hunch-back utters this jingle! What does he mean? "One day, out of despiration, she decided to do away with him. "I shall get rid of this hunch-back," she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the bread she prepared for him! As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. "What is this I am doing?" she said. Immediately she threw the bread into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window- sill. As usual, the hunch-back came, picked up the bread and muttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" The hunch-back proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman. Everyday, as the woman placed the bread on the window-sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return. That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway.. He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, "Mom, it's a miracle I'm here. While I was but a mile away, I was so hungry that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunch-back passed by. I begged of him for a small part of his food, and he was kind enough to give me whole bread. "As he gave it to me, he said, "This is what I eat everyday: today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!" "As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale and red. She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned bread that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life! It was then that she realized the significance of the words: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" Do good and; Don't ever stop doing good, even if it’s not appreciated at that time.
If you like this, share it with others and I bet you, so many lives would be affected.

I use the large bin bags. I find them more accommodating than the puny condoms made for Europeans and chinkies.
