RENOVATION, refurbishment and donation of security equipment to four police stations in Surulere area, Lagos, were the hallmark of activities by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lagos Province 44, at the weekend.
The corporate social responsibility intervention was in accordance with the vision and mission of the Church which regularly embarks on various CSR initiatives and investments as a way of positively impacting the quality of lives within the communities the Parishes are located, according to the Pastor in Charge of the Province, Pastor Amos Emovon.
While commissioning the various equipment, using Divisional Police Station, Itire as base, Emovon said the latest intervention was sequel to the implementation of various mega CSR Interventions in Education, Medical Care, Poverty Alleviation, Youth Development, Food for All Initiatives and Empowerment by the Church.
“Having done all these, our next mega CSR intervention is now on security and safety in alignment with our CSR philosophy. This will enable us contribute our quota towards ensuring safety, protection of lives, properties, and to also create a conducive environment for social economic growth and development”, he said.
He listed the latest gesture to include renovation of the Reception Area, the entire lobby, the station’s officers’ office, front fence and painting of the Ijesha Police Station, adding that the Station also received some security equipment (Walkie Talkie and Hand Cuffs).
“The intervention at Itire Police Station involves refurbishment of Patrol Van and painting of the Police Station. They also received some security equipment (Walkie Talkie and Hand Cuffs). Besides, Aguda Police Station and Bode Thomas Police Station also received Walkie Talkie and Hand Cuffs”, Emovon noted.
According to him, “The project which started in April 2017 provided the platform to contribute our quota towards ensuring safety, protection of lives, properties, as well as the creation of a conducive environment for social economic growth and development in these communities”.
While appreciating the gesture on behalf of his colleagues, the Divisional Police Officer, Itire Police Division, CSP Bunmi Ogedengbe, noted that the intervention would go a long way to assist the Police in the effective discharge of their duties. “Hardly will you see people coming to the aid of police in their time of needs, but this church has restored hope that the public is still appreciating its. efforts”, he said.

22 Interesting Facts You Didn’t Know About Sleep
How much do you know about sleep? Here are some interesting facts about sleep you might not have been aware of....
By Chris Thomson
The Sleep Matters Club>
People> 22 Interesting Facts You Didn’t Know About Sleep
Most of what we know about sleep has only been discovered in the past 25 years, but it’s fair to say we’ve made up for it. Scientists and researchers all over the globe are learning more and more about sleep every day (and night), teaching us things we never even dreamed about this process (excuse the pun). We’ve put together a list of 22 of the most interesting and surprising facts about sleep that you may not know.

The facts about sleep
1. 12% of people dream entirely in black and white
Before colour television was introduced, only 15% of people dreamt in colour whilst older people dream in black and white more often than younger people. It’s all here in this study .
Related: Does Eating Cheese Before Bedtime Really Give You Nightmares?
2. Two thirds of a cat’s life is spent asleep
This will come as no surprise to most cat owners. Usually found on your favourite seat or computer keyboard.
3. A giraffe only needs 1.9 hours of sleep a day, whereas a brown bat needs 19.9 hours a day
See about sleep and other animals here , including ferrets, cheetahs and three-toed sloths.
4. Humans spend 1/3 of their life sleeping
This obviously differs depending on the age of the human, but on average it’s around a third, which is quite a lot when you think about it.
Related: How Do Sleeping Patterns Affect Your Sport?
5. The record for the longest period without sleep is 11 days
This was set by a Californian student named Randy Gardner in 1964. This is definitely not recommended, however, as Randy experienced extreme sleep deprivation and others have died staying awake for this long.
6. It’s not uncommon for deaf people to use sign language in their sleep
There are many instances where people have reported their deaf partners or children using sign language in their sleep.
7. Dysania is the state of finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning
We’ve all no doubt found it tricky getting out of bed every now and again, but those suffering from Dysania find it particularly difficult. It is most likely to be a form of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
8. Parasomnia is a term that refers to unnatural movements during your sleep
Some people have even committed crime due to parasomnia, including sleep driving and even murder.
9. The sensation of falling when half asleep and jerking yourself awake is called ‘hypnic jerks’
No-one is totally sure why hypnic jerks occur but they are deemed to be perfectly healthy. However, they may be increased by anxiety, caffeine or physical activity close to bedtime. They are more frequent in young people and decrease as we get older.
10. It’s thought that up to 15% of the population are sleepwalkers
This is according to the
National Sleep Foundation . It’s also a myth that you shouldn’t wake someone who is sleepwalking.
Related: The Ultimate Guide to Sleeping Positions for Couples [Infographic]
11. 1 in 4 married couples sleep in separate beds
Dr Sarah Brewer told us why this might actually be a good thing.
12. Sleep deprivation will kill you more quickly than food deprivation
Neither are good for you, obviously, but this article claims that sleep is actually more important than food in the short term.
13. Those born blind experience dreams involving things such as emotion, sound and smell rather than sight
This is a topic that is really quite interesting and the timing of the blindness in a person’s life may impact what that person dreams about. There’s plenty more on this here .
14. Within 5 minutes of waking up, 50% of your dream is forgotten
After an additional 5 minutes, 90% of recollection is gone. Sigmund Freud believed this was because dreams represent our repressed thoughts and so our brain wants to get rid of them quickly. However, it’s much more likely due to our brains simply being used much more as soon as we’re awake and so we forget much of what we’ve dreamed about.
15. Pain tolerance is reduced by sleep deprivation
This study suggests that cutting a person’s sleep in half dramatically reduces pain threshold although it’s not 100% clear why.
16. 41% of the British population sleep in the foetal position
This is from research done by Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, though 5 other sleeping positions have been identified: the log, yearner, starfish, soldier and free faller.
17. Sleep experts have discovered a direct link between people’s favourite sleeping positions and their personalities
This is also according to Professor Idzikowski, suggesting that those who sleep in the foetal position “may appear tough but are actually sensitive souls right to their core.” See what the Professor says about the other sleep positions.
18. Ideally, falling asleep at night should take you 10-15 minutes
If it takes you less than five minutes, chances are you are sleep deprived.
19. Humans are the only mammals that willingly delay sleep
How nice it must be to just be able to go to sleep whenever and wherever you are!
20. Sleeping on your front can aid digestion
Hands should apparently be positioned above the pillow so you’re in a ‘freefall’ position, whilst laying on your left side can apparently help reduce heartburn.
21. High earners (£65 – £75,000) get the best sleep
This comes from a report by
The Sleep Council. I would certainly sleep better if I earned that much money!
22. Fear is said not to be the main emotion in nightmares
Instead, researchers have found that it’s most often feelings of sadness, guilt and confusion.

LAUTECH operates 97 different accounts, Unions’ suit against forensic auditing shocking – Osun Govt
ON July 23, 20179:10 PM/IN
News/ BY Tony/ Comments
The Osun State Government has expressed shock over the suit filed by the joint unions of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) to stop the auditing of the university’s accounts, as recommended by the visitation panel set up to investigate and find lasting solution to the crisis that has crippled the institution, saying LAUTECH operates 97 different accounts.
The government called on parents, students and other stakeholders to prevail and plead with the unions to stop frustrating sincere steps of owner governments to get LAUTECH back on track, saying it was not happy and uncomfortable with the prolonged strike that has kept the Nigeria’s future leaders at home.
Osun State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Adelani Baderinwa, in a press statement on Sunday, said the state government found it shocking, unheard of and counter-productive, the suit filed by the unions at the Oyo State High Court.

Baderinwa explained that the auditing of the LAUTECH, Ogbomoso accounts was recommended by the Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) led visitation panel, and the two owner states had appointed a reputable accounting firm, KPMG firm to do the job.
LAUTECH

He added that the LAUTECH unions, apart from chasing out the KPMG workers in the university, have persistently been working against the recommendation of the Olanipekun panel, except where the owner states are asked to raise fund.
The commissioner who noted that the owner states eager to resolve issues involved in the institution’s crisis urged the unions to be sincere and support the owner states in their bid to get the school back on track, describing the suit by the unions as unpatriotic and ill-conceived.
According to Baderinwa, contrary to submission by the unions, the owner states have effective contractual agreement with KPMG on the forensic auditing job.
He also explained that, contrary to Nigeria Senate’s assumption, there is no crisis as to the ownership of LAUTECH, maintaining that the Supreme Court has clearly stated the owners as Osun and Oyo states according to a 2012 judgment of the apex court.
Baderinwa said: “The last time LAUTECH accounts were audited was in 2012, and a sum of N400 million was in question then. LAUTECH has 97 different accounts at this time of Treasury Single Account policy. The Wole Olanipekun panel recommended auditing of the university’s accounts as a way to address the crisis holistically.
“The Osun and Oyo states entered into effective contractual agreement with KPMG, a reputable auditing firm. KPMG workers were harassed and chased out of the university by the unions. The unions have also gone to court to stop the forensic auditing as directed by the visitor of the institution.
“It worths noting that the two owner states have committed a total sum of N13.626Billion to the University since 2011 aside over N10 Billion that has come to the University as TETFUND and NEEDS as well as over N12 Billion declared as IGR for about 5 years now and we deserve every right to find out the way the money was spent.
“We wonder what the unions stand to gain by approaching court to stop the auditing. Do they have something to hide? How could they militate against a genuine and transparent move to get LAUTECH out of the unpleasant situation? We make bold to say that the unions’ action is unbecoming of a group of academicians and patriotic workers of the university. We appeal to them to give peace a chance"

MY REPLY TO UDUAGHAN
- Prof. Pat Utomi

I am pleased to hear the former Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan respond to my comments on the poor state of finances in Delta State. To my mind, it is the direction of engagement that I hope will raise the quality of public discussions and move our democracy towards better serving the people. I therefore feel obligated to respond to the issues raised and to set the records straight for the benefit of the general public.

While I agree with the former Governor that our conversations of today should focus more on the future than the past, we must recognize that the damage done to Delta State by the mismanagement of its finances and resources still plagues the state as we speak. Uduaghan's legacy is a sad reflection of this awful chapter of our history.

My comments on optimal debt-to-revenue ratios is verifiable and those who have the ability to do the math are all over the place. It was a comment made to draw attention to and prevent the worsening of a problem that is still on-going; because in spite of the bailout funds from the Federal Government, and the huge windfall from the Paris loan refunds which now stands at over N24billion, the Delta State House of Assembly (DTHA) has approved over N18 billion as loans for the Okowa administration this year alone. In fact, a N13 billion plus loan request was recently made to the Delta State House of Assembly.

Deltans need to be aware and decry this type of heavy debt burden, especially as there are no commensurate development projects or programmes on ground to justify it and to aid repayment in future. Gov. Okowa was right to raise an alarm about the over N600 billion debt that he claimed to have inherited. He has however proceeded to increase this debt burden by over N60 billion of his own. This is only further mortgaging Delta state and the future of our children.

Having made that point, I wish to address a number of inaccuracies that dominate what was attributed to ex-Governor Uduaghan. He would deny them if he has any credibility, for he had on many occasions said to me and to several others, including Arc. Kester Ifeadi of the Organization for the Advancement of Anioma Culture (OFAAC), that some elements in the previous government in which he served as SSG sabotaged our “Technology Village” project which was initiated by the private-sector in Delta North to jump-start a “Silicon Valley" type development in Delta State. He had also mentioned to some that he felt indebted to the Anioma people and he had hoped to make up for that sabotage from 2000/2001. Uduaghan must note that some of the world's most valuable companies today, including Google and Facebook started in Stanford dorms that went across to become a value-creating ecosystem with Venture Capitalists in place. We planned the same program for Illah, and if the government of Delta State has not sabotaged this laudable project, it would have today become a reputable ICT hub driven by a learning centre of post-graduate level, just like Stanford, creating thousands of jobs for Deltans. It is the kind of hub in Silicon valley that makes the State of California the biggest economy in the United States of America; bigger than most countries in Europe and the world. Despite the sabotage, we still set up 'Socket Works', a pioneer e-Government service provider which created Nigeria's new Passport, and partners with the Immigration Services till date.

Also, I invited Uduaghan to do the ground-breaking of a Youth Centre to be built in Ibusa by an NGO that I founded called Centre for Values in Leadership (CVL), dedicated to the upliftment of the youths of Delta state for free. The location was in a developing area and Uduaghan as governor, pledged to tar the road in the next quarter. He publicly asked then Commissioner for Works, Mr. Paul Osaji, to commence work immediately on this road that would have linked Ibusa and Okpanam. But the road remains a mirage till date. CVL has started constructing another model at a different location. This NGO is also currently executing Youth Entrepreneurship Programmes in all the three senatorial districts of Delta state valued at more than ₦800m, and training 400 youths in four different centres: Ibusa, Agbor, Effurun and Ozoro. All the trainees completed the 2nd phase of the program last week with written exams. The 3rd phase of the one-year program will commence next month and it will focus more on the acquisition of sustainable skills and capacity. This specialist program would ordinarily cost millions per person at Lagos Business School but it is offered free, with free meals and daily transport allowances to support the participants.

Even more troubling from the claims on attracting investment is the one related to an Agriculture Industrial Town. I brought a team of foreign investors to Asaba and Dr Uduaghan welcomed them, assuring speedy allocation of land. After two years of trips to Asaba that didn't produce any result, we turned to Edo State and within months a C-of-O was ready. Several hundred millions of Naira investments have gone into this project already with additional billions pledged. As we speak, more than one hundred hectares of jungle has been cleared and is continuing. An Independent Power Plant (IPP) to power this 'Produce City' in Edo State has commenced activities and hundreds of millions of Naira in investments have also been committed. In 5 years there will be more than 20,000 quality jobs created in that location.

Deltans will prefer that Uduaghan gives account for the IPP project he abandoned in Oghara that gulped over N20 billion under his administration with nothing to show seven years after. We welcome any debate on how to efficiently utilize scarce state resources for the maximum benefit of the people and prevent such colossal waste as was witnessed under Uduaghan - and is still the experience today under the current administration.

Finally, I was astonished to learn of "partnering" with the former Governor in search of foreign investments and coming up short. As I recall, I was delivering a lecture some years ago at Cramfield Business School in the UK when my Personal Assistant in Lagos received a call from Asaba that the Governor would appreciate my joining him on a US tour. It was indicated that I was out of the country; however, he insisted that it would add value if I could join the team in the US, and I made the trip across the Atlantic. Evidence of several successful foreign investments that I have attracted and which are on ground indicate just how bogus these claims are. It is also noteworthy to mention that I attracted a 'Smart City' project to Lagos State. If any foreign investors came near during this tour, it was by my trying to get partners in New York to show what they could do. I was not surprised when these investors did not get any response from him. A Councillor would have even done much better for our people than Uduaghan did then as Governor.

There is extreme misuse of the opportunities available to Delta State. It will take a serious and truly capable government to vigorously tap its potentials and create jobs for our teeming youths. This is one of the many reasons why I believe Delta State needs new political leadership in 2019. Deltans are not meant to suffer from the jeopardy of a clueless administration, especially at this critical phase of its existence.

I would have imagined that Uduaghan will be very sober and saddened by his legacy of mismanagement and gross wastage that he left behind in Delta State. Trying to spin his poor record in the hope that Deltans would have forgotten so soon is a failed attempt to rewrite history. Undoubtedly, he knows that only few Deltans speak well of him and it is his pain to struggle with that reality. As he grapples with history, what is more important to Deltans today is how we can rectify the wrong policies, decisions and actions of the past, so that we can create a government that would not only meet the needs of our people today but guarantee a better life for successive generations.

This is the task that I have offered to commit myself to between now and 2023. We are already looking forward to 2019 with hope and renewed zeal for the beginning of a 'New Delta' teeming with opportunities and alive with possibilities.

How I became one of Canada’s 150 most influential black woman —32-year -old Olubamiji

    
Adeola Olubamiji recently achieved fame by working her way up from a very lowly beginning to emerge as the first black woman to obtain a doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. In this online interview with LAOLU HAROLDS, she shares her success story and future plans.
Could you tell us a little about your growing up days, your experiences, and, especially, how those experiences affected your goals setting and passion to succeed?
I was born on April 3, 1985, as the last of five children to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac and Juliana Olubamiji in Ibadan. My parents are originally from Ijare in Ifedore Local Government, Ondo State. I attended Alafia Primary School, and Saint Gabriel’s Secondary Commercial School, Ibadan. While growing up, my dad was a beer wholesaler, and my mom had a shop where she sold pepper and other groceries. Although we are a working class, perhaps lower middle-class family, we didn’t have much, and all five of us children had to hawk pepper when we were not in school to support my mother’s business. My parents strived to give us what they didn’t have (education).
What influenced me? I had my siblings to look up to. My eldest brother, Foluso Olubamiji, who is a mechanical engineer, is my first mentor and my first mathematics and physics teacher. Then, Dayo Olubamiji (my next elder brother) was and is still my best friend. My parent’s second child, Kolawole Olubamiji, was the loving one who bought the girls gifts and my sister helped straighten me up into being a smart girl.
At a very young age, I was aware of the impact of education. Therefore, I had an instinct that I could take my parents out of poverty by excelling and being an academic success.
Most people with your kind of background, when they eventually get a chance to go for university education, opt for the next available ‘cheap’ or less intellectually tasking course of study. Why did you opt for the sciences?
My father is from a well-educated extended family, although he was unable to attain tertiary education. He always regaled us with stories of his cousins, uncles and other relatives who had the opportunity of higher education. It so happened that one of his close family members, Professor Abiodun Francis Oluwole, is a Professor of Nuclear Physics, and my dad had his photograph and that of his other family members hung on the wall in our living room. At every opportunity my dad got, he explained to us how they all grew up together in Ijare and how education took them to greater heights than him. My father’s passion for educational success greatly influenced me as I was, directly and indirectly, looking up to a time to make him proud by being one of those successful people. Meanwhile, I love mathematics and physics, so I ended up following the footpath of the Professor of Physics to obtain a BSc in Physics with Electronics.
You had your Master’s degree in Finland and doctorate in Canada. Having experienced studying in Nigeria, what factors would you say make it easier (or harder, if it is) to excel in those places than your home country?
Back in Nigeria, it was easy to be lazy as I could depend on my parents and other known people for food, shelter, and money. Interestingly, having to look out for myself in Finland and Canada made me stronger, independent, alert, and I learnt a lot of DIYs (Do It Yourself). For example, I learnt how to plait my hair because I had no one to help me, and could not afford to pay $50-$100 to get my hair done. Then, those who saw the hair asked me to plait theirs; and from there, I started making money from hairdressing. The fact that I could not fall back on anyone, the high expectations of people back home made me learn to give life a good fight.
Can you utilize your skill as a Biomedical Engineer in Nigeria, and do you see this as a need for Nigeria?
Biomedical Engineering has several branches, and I have focused all along on areas such as Medical Physics and Imaging, Material Research and Manufacturing, and e-Health and Telemedicine. First, Additive Manufacturing/3D-printing is currently revolutionizing metal and plastic production in manufacturing industries such as medical devices, orthopedics, aerospace, oil and gas, automobile and so on in the first world. The 3D-printing packages: design engineering, topology optimization, mechanical testing, manufacturing of parts, part and powder characterization and inspection/non-destructive testing are transferable from industry to industry and from country to country.
For example, I am currently the Team Lead Metallurgist/Additive Manufacturing Engineer at Burloak Technologies, a first-class technology company geared towards plastic and metal manufacturing for aerospace applications. I am also acquiring more knowledge and practical-based skills that can be transferred to any country to bring about large numbers of high paying jobs for all classes of people and revolutionize production capacity of a country like Nigeria. Yes, I can utilize my skills in Nigeria.
What doors of opportunities has this feat opened to you?
During the celebration of Canada 150 years of confederation, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation featured 150 black women who are making Canada better, and I am happy to be among the top five from coast-to-coast of Canada. Also, I have received several public speaking offers focused on technology and innovation panel discussions, science outreach, youth empowerment, women empowerment, mentorship and so on.
In what ways do you plan to influence people growing up in Nigeria the way you did to achieve their dreams?
If given a chance, my team is capable and able to bring 3D-printing technology to the manufacturing sector in Nigeria through Nigerian universities and research centres where young professionals can be empowered. Nigeria has arrived too late to the game of technology, and if we don’t start now, we will still not be able to produce pencils in 10 years. We can also (pioneer) Electronic Health Records for Nigerian health providers (hospitals). This will enable health provides have reliable access to complete patient health information for safe and effective care, when and where it is needed, to make decisions.
We can also bring science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) outreach programmes to Nigerian cities for our secondary school students. Since kids learn by doing, we have to provide an avenue for them to connect the theoretical science taught in school with practical science that results from these theories. We can bring mentorship programmes for our youths and women. With no disrespect, our girls look up to people who make education look ‘old school’, who make science look too hard, abstract and for the exceptional ones. Africa as a continent needs to start projecting and investing in productive education and technology aside entertainment, fashion, and cosmetic

The trio would remain in prison custody pending the perfection of their bail condition.
Ogundare and his two alleged accomplices were arraigned before Magistrate (Mrs) T. Akanni on a three count charge bordering on breach of public peace and fake kidnapping.
In count one, Chief Ogundare was alleged to have on July 5, put himself forward to be kidnapped for the purpose of causing breach of public peace contrary to Section 5 of the Kidnapping Prohibition 2017, No. C17, Law of Lagos State.
Count two stated that Mohammed and Abolanle on the same day allegedly aided counselled Mutiu Micheal Yusuf Ogundare to fake his kidnap contrary to section Section 7(1) and (2) of the Kidnapping Prohibition 2017, No. C17, Law of Lagos State.
The three defendants were in the third count, alleged to have conspired in the offence of faking the kidnap contrary to Section 16(1)(a-d) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, CH. 17, Vol. 3, Laws of Lagos State 2015.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to three count charge offence preferred against them.
Counsel to the defendants, Mr Glory Odimayo asked the court to grant his clients bail.
Odimayo argued that the defendants are prominent members of the Shangisha community and would not jump bail.
“The third defendant, before this incident was the reigning Baale while the second defendant is his wife and as such would not jump bail,” the counsel said.
He further assured the court that they would not use their position to tamper with evidence already before the court.
The prosecutor, Mr Peter Okerinmodun opposed the application saying that the defendants are popular members of the community and used such relationship to tamper with evidence.
Okerinmodun further told the court if granted bail, their presence in the community might cause a breakdown of law and order and that they would use their position to influence witnesses.
Ruling on the matter, Magistrate Akanni granted bail to each of the defendants, in the sum of N2 million and two sureties in the like sum.
She said the sureties must include a traditional ruler, person with registered property in Lagos, must be a tax payer and a grade level 17 officer in the state public service.
The matter was adjourned till

Evans lawyer attempts paying N20,000 fine with post dated cheque —Court

Ayomide Owonibi Odekanyin - Lagos
   
A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, on Thursday, disclosed how Olukoya Ogungbeje, counsel to billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, a.k.a. Evans, tried to pay a N20,000 fine imposed in him by the court with a post dated check

Evans’ lawyer, Ogungbeje, who was fined by Justice Abdulaziz Anka was yet to pay the punitive cost of N20,000 awarded against him at the last adjourned date.

Justice Anka, who awarded the punitive cost against Ogungbeje on July 13, had said the lawyer would not be given audience in court until he pays the N20,000 to the police.

However on Thursday, counsel for the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Effiong Asuquo, noted that Ogungbeje gave him a post-dated cheque for N20,000 but he rejected it, saying that was not the order of court.
Justice Chuka Obiozor agreed with the police lawyer and directed Ogungbeje to comply with the cost order on the cost awarded against him.
The judge also directed Ogungbeje to ensure service of the application on the Inspector-General of Police in Abuja.
He, subsequently, adjourned the case till July 27.
In his fundamental rights enforcement suit, Evans, through Ogungbeje, is seeking a court order directing the police to charge him to court immediately or release him on bail if they are not ready to charge him to court.
Ogungbeje argued that Evans’ detention since June 10, 2017, without being charged to court was a violation of his client’s fundamental rights enshrined in sections 35 (1) (c) (3) (4) (5) (a) (b) and 36 of the Constitution.
Evans wants the court to award N300 million damages against the police in his favour for his continued detentiion

Native doctor who buys used condoms from prostitute dies during sex romp

ON March 21, 201710:14 AM/

By Chidi Nkwopara, OWERRI.

A native doctor identified as reportedly died, while having a sex romp with an alleged prostitute in a brothel at Anara, Isiala Mbano local council area of Imo State.

Vanguard gathered that the late native doctor, hailed from Ehime Mbano local government area, also of Imo State, “was having a good time with the sex worker when death came calling”.

An unconfirmed story that made the round in the community had it that the deceased usually visited the brothel to not only assuage his sexual appetite, but to also buy used condoms containing human sperms from the sex workers.
“Nobody knows exactly what he did with the used condoms, but some people were of the view that he may have been using it to prepare concoctions for his clients”, a villager told Vanguard.

Although the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, a deputy superintendent of police, said he was yet to be briefed about the incident, a police officer at the Anara police station, who spoke on strict grounds of anonymity, however confirmed the incident.
He told Vanguard that they got wind of the incident and rushed to the scene, “some people who claimed to be close members of the dead man’s family, equally came and took the corpse away, stressing that they were not interested in making the incident a police matter”.

Answering another question, the police officer said that the deceased man’s family did not make any formal report to the police on the matter, adding that there was nothing they could have done in the circumstance.

The Presidency has not disclosed the agenda of the meeting.
The meeting began shortly after the National Economic Council which the acting president presided over.
It was gathered that Osinbajo might brief the APC governors on his recent visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in London.

The acting president had on his return from London last week told journalists that Buhari was recuperating fast and would soon come back home.

Buhari has been in London since May 7 for what the Presidency called a follow-up consultation with his doctors.

Details later....

goaldynboy:
You be big MUMU! You are here blabbing about others being the President and appointing Igbos into various positions! But you are not talking about an Igbo man being the president! Why won't they agitate for Biafra, when your dull brain does not envisage an Igbo man becoming the President of Nigeria!!!

My submission is with facts. No ranting or abuse. It was a common knowledge that you ipods BIAFRAN, (not Igbos) we're at peace with last administration even when ijaw have moved on you are still crying. The greatest fact is you can't point to any benefit brought to the East. Only Igbos know that the last administration was a disaster.

BUHARItesticles:
Amaechi @ work to please his slave master.

It takes an slowpoke to want to please the easterners with project. The couple of projects being handled are stupiidly criticised.

The only language understood by easterners was used by president Jonathan:appoint as many easterners into your high cabinet (VP, sgf, finance, cbn, nimasa,, sec, etc and leave the region To continue to deteriorate!

You will have their applause -this is why I think PMB/PYO Admin is a fool when they are attempting to show some care:get ten Igbos into powerful posts and leave the rest to suffer-you will not hear of ipob again

ikbnice:
nd what if all you've been taught is fake, manly inventions. How'd you feel? I guess there won't be feelings too

There will be either of these after writing a very important examination :

1. Those who have over prepared for it -my camp

2. Those who found out they have Under or not prepared - your camp

Judge the two feelings and see the real losers taken into account of the eternal implications...

Thanks

Whether you like it or not it is the truth.
The PDP are trying to pretend like it never had the chance to do so.
But the APC should also know that NIGERIA are a patient people. We gave a chance for that distorted version of Federalism to thrive. It hasn't worked so we need to move on.
They need to man up to their responsibilities. They practically own the NASS.
Restructuring is the only way.

Why are you singing to the deaf? He is programmed to go that way.

optional1:
The rate of broke guys in the market nowadays is so alarming, is just too much somebody can't even know the rich guys any more..

So here are just two simple tips to know if the guy who is disturbing you is broke or not...


1. Going on a date with him..

If you going on a date with him next time, go with 3 or 4 of your friends. I didn't say 1 or 2 friends oh, i said 3 or 4 friend..

But ladies make sure you are with enough money that can pay your bills in case the guy is really broke and can't pay the bills..

Demand for expensive food and drink, make sure you ask for take away package... If at the end of the date he pays for everything.. Then he is not broke but don't conclude yet oh.
Wait for no2 before you conclude.



2. Demand for money.

That same day of the date, after you have reach home, wait for 1hour then flash him, i mean flash not call. If after flashing he calls back, ask if he got home safe.
Then ask for money using your sweet voice..

*Like hey boo i wanted asking you for something but i don't want my friends to know about it* boo i need just 100k to change my wardrobe* i know you won't disappoint me*...

Before you finish talking he might have hang off but if he wait for you to finish talking, you will hear him say
*okay, just 100k right??*
you say *yes*...

I bet you give him 1 week he won't call you again, why because he is damn broke.. If you call him 1week time, hear what he will say

* hello, who is this??* after you introduce yourself, he will than say *oh bae am sorry my phone was stolen 6days ago.. I just bought another just yesterday* eyes roll my dear sister run he is broke....










You know where you can find me if you want to beat me.
Come to sambisa forest i am there..

By the time you're 45 and still searching (God forbid it for you), you will come back to NL and create another topic that says:

*YOUNG LADIES: No guy is really broke-make hay while Sun shines o!*
