6. Portmeirion, Wales Nope, not Italy, this is still Wales - although you might not know it standing in central Portmeirion. Architect Clough Williams-Ellis wanted to create a village that enhanced rather than blended into its landscape, and this place certainly stands out from its surroundings. Start in the central Mediterranean piazza, with its loggias and porticoes, before wandering at random into nooks and crannies hiding with cherub statues and painted in pastels. Endangered buildings from across Britain and around the world were brought here piece and piece and reconstructed – look out for the Buddha.

5. Beddgelert, Wales A stone humpbacked bridge crosses a burbling river, trees dip their branches into the water, hanging baskets bloom – Beddgelert would be scenic even if Snowdon weren’t lurking in the background. Don’t let it tempt you away too quickly, this is a beautiful place to linger, wandering from gallery to woodcraft shop, café to ice creamery. Don’t miss Glaslyn Ices, which everyone here will tell you makes the very best homemade ice cream in Britain.

4. Staithes, England Staithes was once one of the largest fishing ports on the northeast coast: today it’s a far more laidback place, with higgledy piggledy cottages running down to the sea and a small beach perfect for hours of old fashioned rockpooling fun. Captain Cook spent some of his formative years here so there is, of course, a museum devoted to him on the high street. You can also eat in the eponymous Captain Cook Inn, or the Cleveland Corner Bistro, which endeavours to source as much of their fish as possible from the village itself.

3. Port Isaac, England When the council builds a big car park just outside a village and encourages all visitors to explore on foot, you know it’s going to be a pretty unspoilt place. Port Isaac’s steep narrow lanes were not designed for cars, they were designed for fisherman, and this quaint Cornish village has long been devoted to all things lobster and crab. To fully understand their dedication and love the local sea crop yourself get down to Nathan Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen, where the fishermen dictate the menu and the small plates are cooked to order. Expect to pay around £10 per dish.

2. Avebury, England How many villages are surrounded by their very own prehistoric stone circle? Not as many as you’d think – surprising huh? But Avebury is special – it sits in the centre of one of the UK’s most important ancient sites, open to all at all hours. Picnic among the stones at lunchtime or stroll through the circle at sunset. Make time to visit Silbury Hill, Europe’s largest manmade mound located just outside the village, and once you’ve worked up an appetite fall in to village pub the Red Lion for a pint of locally brewed Wadworth’s 6X.

Village life; bowls on the green, quaint pubs, red
phone boxes and Morris dancing in the village
hall. It’s the quintessential English stereotype of
country living in the UK. But there’s way more
going on in this chocolate-box towns.
All over the United Kingdom, lush green valleys
give way to historic high streets strung with
thatched cottages, while the coastline is marked
by clusters of brightly painted fisherman’s
houses. Winkle out the best of these diminutive
settlements with our guide to the villages worth
stopping for.

1. Tyneham, England
It’s still 1943 in Tyneham, where time stood still
when the army told everyone to leave because they
needed the surrounding hills for training. Most
weekends and throughout the summer school
holidays the village is open to the public and you
can stroll along the main street, between the
abandoned stone cottages and poke your head into
the old schoolhouse and church. Look out for wild
flowers, abundant here thanks to the army keeping
the public out and unable to trample them. For
more places to stroll amongst the blooms, check

Just hours ago, a student of the faculty of education,depertment of human kenetic was accidentally killed by an officer of the FRSC while they were on patrol this afternoon. Rumours have it that he was riding on an okada and was asked to stop but refused,the officer then put a stick through the tyres of the bike which caused the unfortunate accident. Roads around anyagba have all been blocked by angry students. Lectures have been stoped,and shops inside the school have been forced to close down.

Cars that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars
burnt to a crisp in a trailer fire as it was being
transported from one state to another. Must be
painful.
TMZ reports below…
Floyd Mayweather’s pricey car collection took a ma
$$ive hit this week — when a trailer transporting
Floyd’s Bentley and 2 Rolls Royce whips burned
down to the ground … TMZ Sports has learned.
We’re told the truck was transporting Floyd’s rides
from Vegas to Miami when something went wrong
just outside of Phoenix, Arizona on October 7th at
1:31 AM … and the entire unit went up in flames.
You can see in the pics, the cars were burnt to a
crisp — including one of Floyd’s custom Jeeps. It’s
unclear how the fire started — but Arizona State
Troopers confirm the incident and say there were
no injuries reported.
TMZ Sports contacted the transportation company
and confirmed the cars were shipped through Obi
Okeke at Fusion Luxury Motors — Floyd’s longtime
car guy. We reached out to Floyd and Okeke — no
comment from either one.

Sorry ooo @Op .... So this is how you wrote your Waec? Your English Teacher must be from Sambisa Or Chibok

shay u have reading problem ni?,abi u are just dull?

SirWere:
What you are saying is COMPLETELY senseless!!! The only reason our Music is appreciated is because so Many Nigerians are in diaspora and we are the largest Nation in the world. As for the food, how can a man who can barely afford TWO square meals enjoy the "variety". Sense of style... If you look at charts, as "sense of style" increased, so did rape, shop-lifting and debt! Finally, it would be a disgrace to call Nollywood a success. What is so ingiritating about it is that there is NO actual piece of land to call Nollywood! It was just pure slave and inferior mentality to remove H and put N in Hollywood.




Be honest bro, Nigeria is a disgrace

bro like seriously?

We all have had embarra$$ing moments in our
lives.
Some of them may have happened at home or out
on the streets but the worst ones are always
reserved for the cla$$room.
Here is a list of some of the common cla$$room
embarra$$ments that you or people you know may
have faced.
1. Getting caught while sleeping
This is on top of our embarra$$ing stories simply
because all of us faced it at least once.
Be it a hang over, or you read throughout the night
or simply because the lecture is too boring, what’s
awkward is getting caught by the lecturer while you
are happily dreaming and drooling.
2. Confidently answering the question wrongly
Sometimes the teacher asks a question and you
answer it like a boss, thinking that you know exactly
what you’re talking about.
But as it turns out, you showed that confidence for
nothing, because surprise-surprise – you couldn’t
be more wrong! And the teacher then proceeds to
make an example out of you in order to illustrate
how wrong you are.
3. Getting caught while pa$$ing chits
Pa$$ing chits was the most common method of
conversation in cla$$rooms in the pre-mobile era.
Thinking that you’re too smart to get caught, you pa
$$ chits, when suddenly a hand grabs that chit and
the teacher then reads it out for the benefit of the
entire cla$$. Leaving you mortified in front of the
entire cla$$!
4. Farting loudly
After a long stint in the toilet hours before lecture
or probably you think everything is fine in the
world just then, your body decides to play a joke
on you and you rip a loud one right in the middle
of the cla$$. What’s worse is when it stinks and
everyone knows you did it.
5. Wardrobe malfunction
You are highly mistaken if you thought that
wardrobe malfunctions were just limited to red
carpets or fashion runways. Most cla$$rooms have
seen more than their fair share of trousers ripping,
buttons popping, and br@ straps snapping
randomly.
For some reason, these situations have an uncanny
way of happening only when you are giving
presentations in front of the whole cla$$. And if
you thought that nothing can make it more
embarra$$ing, think again. Imagine any of these
happening in front of your crush!
6.Walking in late for a lecture
Just when you think you’ve strolled in unnoticed,
the lecturer decides to embarra$$ you by popping
a question just to tell the cla$$ he can’t be fooled.
Worse off, you fail the question and he still sends
you out of the cla$$ amid insults.
Looking back at some of these situations may have
made you want to crawl under a rock and just stay
there for eternity. But now these incidents are long
gone and you can afford to laugh at them.
Even we want to laugh with you, so please do share
with us some of your embarra$$ing moments.

If you’re Nigerian, you’d definitely appreciate this
article and identify the truths in it. If you’re from
other African countries however, you may consider
this article biased which of course isn’t true! You
may have heard a lot of Nigerians complain about
corruption, security, health care and the economy
of their country which generally puts Nigeria in
negative light.
Despite the fact that Nigerians speak of their
country in negative light on social media, you
definitely don’t want to join in the bandwagon if
you’re a foreigner as the “rundown- Nigeria” talk
can quickly turn into a “rundown your country talk”
as you will find out that Nigerians only allow fellow
countrymen abuse their country.
Nigerians might have lots of issues with the way
their country is run and even talk badly about their
country but that doesn’t mean they do not see the
positive sides or have hope that things would be
better. And well, there are a couple of things other
African countries wish they had that abounds
among Nigerians. Our culture and way of life is one
that transcends the length and breadth of the
world which everyone can attest to.
1. Our Music
Nigerian music is definitely at the top in Africa and
top three worldwide. Everyone knows this even
though some may say we copy from other
international acts. Nigerian music is so far gone
that it can be heard being sang and danced to by
people of various cultures of the world. We have
our own indigenous genres ranging from Fuji, Juju,
Apala and highlife and the recently created Afro
Hip-Hop genre to mention a few.
Furthermore, we had international acclaimed
music artists from the past including Fela who
created the Afrobeats genre, King Sunny Ade who
was ranked among the 100 best guitarists in the
world, Haruna Ishola, Oliver de Coque and Majek
Fashek. More recently, we have internationally
acclaimed acts in Femi Anikulapo Kuti, Asa, Nneka,
Tuface, Dbanj and PSquare. and MI who became
recognized internationally.
If we are to go a step further, we can also claim
acts like Seal, Sade Adu, Lamar, Chamillioniare and
Taio Cruz who all have Nigerian ancestry.
2. Our Food
Well, whether you’re Nigerian, African, European
or wherever else you may come from on earth,
there’s simply nothing like Nigerian food. From
Port Harcourt’s roasted yam and plantain to the
Northern Tuwo Shinkafa and masara to Pounded
yam that is eaten all around Nigeria, there’s simply
nothing like Nigerian food.
A lot of Nigerians find it difficult to adapt to foreign
food when they move outside the country which is
why you find Nigerians at the airport travelling with
almost all types of food items they can lay their
hands on. There’s simply nothing like Eba, fufu,
Amala and okro, Ogbono and vegetable soup to go
with it.
3.Our Sense of Style
No one can actually take away the fashion sense of
Nigerians. We have our own indigenous fabric in
Ankara which we have been able to take to the
international fashion stage. The Ankara material
which has come to be called the “African print” has
been adopted as a choice material by international
Nigerian designers which has set them apart at
fashion shows.
More so, if you really want to know how stylish
Nigerians are, visit some of the numerous parties
we are known for organising. Nigerian parties are
more or less a struggle to see the most stylishly
dressed just as it is in our everyday lives.
4. Our Mindset
Nigerians are naturally tenacious with a ‘never-say-
die’ attitude. We are industrious, hard working,
intelligent and have a positive view of life. The
optimistic view Nigerians have towards life is
second to none and that makes us successful at
everything we do. We are naturally optimistic
people.
5.Our Movies
Our movies are one of the reasons other Africans
wish they were Nigerians. With Nollywood being
the second largest movie producing outfit in the
world and an endless list of world cla$$ movie
stars Nigeria has produced, we definitely rank top
of the jealous list. List of Nigerian international cla
$$ acts include Chiwetel Ejiofor, Adewale
Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Bourne Identity) and Rotimi
Akinosho (Power) to Omotola Jolade Ekeinde,
Genevieve Nnaji and Ramsey Nouah.
We are Nigerians, hard working tenacious and the
best at what we do. That’s why everyone wants to
be like us! Happy Independence day!

Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye, a historian who served
as Nigeria’s ambassador to the United States, has
died in Washington, DC, SaharaReporters just
learned. Mr. Adefuye died at a yet to be disclosed
hospital in the US, a source in the US told our
correspondent. Mr. Adefuye was recalled to Nigeria
after President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as
President. He was still waiting to hand over to a new
ambassador when he suddenly died today.
Mr Adefuye died at a hospital in
the US, a source in the US told our correspondent.
Mr. Adefuye was recalled to Nigeria after President
Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as President. He
was still waiting to hand over to a new ambassador
when he suddenly died today.
A former professor of history, Mr. Adefuye was in
2010 appointed by former President Goodluck
Jonathan as Nigeria’s ambassador in the US. An
outspoken person and fierce defender of Nigeria, the
deceased diplomat tackled critics of Nigeria in the
US. He vociferously lobbied against Nigeria’s
classification as “a country of interest” in America’s
terrorism watch list.
Mr. Adefuye hailed from Ijebu-Igbo in 1947, and
studied at the University of Ibadan where he earned
his first degree in 1969 as well as a PhD in history in
1973. He also received a Fulbright Fellowship that
enabled him to do research work at Columbia
University, the University of North Florida, and the
University of Florida in Gainesville.
Ambassador Adefuye, who wrote several history
texts, taught at the University of Lagos, earning a
professorship and heading the History Department
1985 to 1987.
Prior to his appointment to Nigeria’s Embassy in
Washington, DC, Mr. Adefuye served as his country’s
ambassador to Jamaica (where he was concurrently
accredited to Haiti and Belize) from 1987 to 1991. In
1991, he was appointed Nigeria’s Deputy High
Commissioner in the U.K., leaving to work for
fourteen years as a Deputy Director at the
Commonwealth. On leaving the Commonwealth, the
former professor accepted a position as an advisor
at the Economic Community of West African States
(ECOWAS). www.saharareporters.com/2015/08/27/nigerian-ambassador-us-ade-adefuye-dead

“I believe if nigeria does not kill corruption;
corruption will kill nigeria. I pledge to publicly
declare my a$$ets and liabilities and encourage my
political appointees to also publicly declare their a
$$ets and liabilities.” – President Buhari (during his
campaign)
Now, the presidency through the presidential
spokesman has said the promise of a$$et
declaration wasn’t made by Buhari but his political
party. Jeez! These people just think say we be
mumu sha… dem think say everybody for naija dey
suffer from dyslexia. Shebi na dem preach say
Buhari na modest man with just two houses and
150 cattle? They also said Buhari and Osinbajo
have declared their a$$ets, and it is deposited with
the code of conduct bureau and the only thing
needed is just verification by the bureau? How
many months does the Code of Conduct Bureau
need to verify an a$$et of two houses and 150
cattle? Nawa ooo!!! Naija una don see una sef? Is
this the “change?”
President Buhari’s achievements as a former
military Head of State may be many. But he has
utterly failed to keep a simple promise core to the
rationale for his election into office. And as the
campaign promises recede into memory, it is
equally clear that this administration may never
provide the needed reforms that will address the
most worrisome flaws in our democratic system.
I have met a lot of Buhari supporters who are
finally coming to the realisation that they may have
made a very bad decision in the last Presidential
election. So many of them no longer seem to know
why they believed that a retired military general
would perform any better than the career
politicians they mistrust.
President Buhari’s bygone promises to run “the
most transparent administration in the history of
this country” have become a subject of mockery,
given how he has failed in a simple task of
appointing ministers.
When critics like me attacked his go-slow
government, the administration defended itself by
claiming the president was only taking his time.
But the problem with this administration is not
only about being too slow but it has also left
untouched the corrupt individuals, which means
that we would continue to live under a government
with significant transparency problems, a culture
of lobbying that is often tantamount to sanctioned
corruption, and an executive branch of
government that preaches a change that no one
gets to see.
Is it unrealistic to expect ambitious systemic
reforms in Nigeria? Yet it remains the case that
many people voted for Buhari precisely because he
promised to attempt them.
I believe president Buhari can solve a lot of things
… but won’t. Whatever he once was or wasn’t, we
should accept that Buhari is now a creature of the
political establishment. He is captive to its loyalties
and prejudices, and committed to safeguarding its
interests. I am not arguing that he hasn’t or won’t
accomplish anything, but there are whole
categories of problems that he won’t try to fix.
“Change” is a mirage sold to us by Buhari and his
political party to get our votes. And that’s a shame.
Nigerians are unlikely to support a politician
making similar promises in the future because
Buhari has made them impossible to believe.
Those sending messages to me at
mail@etceteralive.com asking me to write on how
Buhari’s administration has improved electricity
supply in the country should ask themselves how
long president Buhari has been in office to put in
place the machinery for such a turnaround. Abi
rain nor dey fall for una area? Let us wait till the
dams are dried up before singing halleluyah.

Checkout the Russian President’s official car that
will put President Obama’s ‘The Beast’ to shame
According to reports, a rocket cannot penetrate
Russian President, Vladimir Putin’s official car.
Details of the new limousine used to transport the
President was reportedly said to be far more
secure than the ‘The Beast’ – the nickname of the
limousine used to transport U.S President Obama.
The armoured car has a 12-centimeter-thick
titanium plated roof that is so strong a T-72 tank
can drive over it without causing any real damage,
sources said. Its windows are made of gla$$ that
will withstand a direct hit from a rocket-propelled
grenade, while its wheels automatically turn into
caterpillar tracks when going over rough terrain.
Officials at the factory where the limousine was a
$$embled were so confident in the level of safety
provided by the vehicle that they placed the
designers inside the car while soldiers shot rocket-
propelled grenades at it — a tradition that dates
back to the Stalin era.
The Kremlin official noted that the car’s occupants
could survive a small nuclear attack, but onlyif the
wind was blowing in a certain direction. He
however declined to elaborate, saying reporters
would be allowed to ask questions in future. www.gltrends.com/omg-russian-presidents-car-is-the-real-bomb-see-photos/
