Afro-hair
The beauty of every woman, they say lies in the
hair. The African woman takes pride in the
uniqueness that is found in carrying natural, well
groomed hair. For some, it is a sign of our
identity while others may carry their hair in its
natural state either because it is fashionable or for
a whole lot more reasons.
Natural hair supporters go one step further to say
natural hair is a nod to being a real African but
what does that really have to do with being black?
Are people who perm or straighten their hair
being put in a different box from those who go
natural? To a lot of people, it is a thing of choice.
Gone are those days when you are mandated to
carry a perm because it might be easier to
manage or just because it is fashionable.
Interestingly enough, the Afro look is coming
back in vogue. So, watch out ladies. Eyitemi
Ogunsakin, a mother of one spoke on the issue,
saying, “I decided to keep my hair natural
because hair relaxers were not working for me
and it was difficult for me to get it relaxed. So I felt
the best thing for me was to cut off the permed
hair.
Although, there are some hairstyles I see on
others that fit them and long for such but
because of my natural hair which I dreded, I can’t
do them. The natural hair is not open to you
fixing weave-ons that you can leave a bit of your
hair out. Asides that, it is very easy to carry. It
takes a lot of money to handle.
There are people who buy a lot of stuffs to
maintain their natural hair, there are a lot more
ways to do it. It is time consuming, expensive.
For me, because I am on dred-locks, I go to the
salon every two weeks to wash my hair and buy
some expensive things to take care of my hair. I
decided to go natural in 2005 knowing fully well
that there is some stigma attached to a woman
being on dreds.
I wanted to do it long before I got married. If you
want your natural hair to look nice, then I would
say it is not cheap. It is the same thing if you
want your skin to look good without using a very
expensive body cream. So it is really not cheap”.
Mrs Toyin Nwaokolo also aired her views. She
states, “I was tired of adding chemicals to my
hair and going under the dryer. Besides, natural
hair is in vogue. I am enjoying carrying my
natural. I do not have any regrets going on my
natural hair because you can play around and do
all sorts with it.

Former Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Arunma Oteh, has been
appointed Vice President and Treasurer of the World Bank, according to a statement by Dr. Jim
Yong Kim, the 12th president of the World Bank Group.
The full statement reads: “I am pleased to
announce the appointment of Arunma Oteh as
VP and Treasurer of the World Bank.
Arunma, a Nigerian national, was most recently
the Director General of the Securities
and Exchange Commission of Nigeria. Appointed
to a five-year term by the President of Nigeria in
2010, she led the transformation of the country’s
capital markets industry into a major global
presence. She was a member of the Board of the
International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) and the Chairperson of the
Africa Middle East RegionalCommittee of IOSCO.
Prior to joining the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Nigeria,
Arunma was Group Vice President, Corporate

departments, including human resources,
information and communicationstechnology, and
institutional procurement. From 2001 to 2006 she

Editor’s note: Kofoworola Ayodeji, Naij.com
guest author, laments a fact that the people
who contribute enormously to the positive
international image of Nigeria are celebrated
all over the world, but do not receive proper
respect and honour at their motherland.
Story highlights:
– “… I was heartbroken that Nigeria
does not admire and celebrate her own
sons and daughters demonstrating
uncommon excellence in their areas of
interest.”
– “… Taiwo Akinkunmi, the designer of
the Nigerian flag… was honoured a
national award only after decades of
neglect. Isn’t that disgraceful?”
– “When they [the notable people] are
honoured as deemed fit, this inspires
and gives hope to the younger
generation… In case of Nigeria, the
situation is exactly opposite.”
– “Please, tell me, who deserve the
Order for Meritorious Service if not the
outstanding and patriotic Nigerians? “
– “Our best brains must be encouraged,
not depressed!”
An Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has
recently been awarded by the US Congress
for his enormous contribution to music, and
political activism. I received the news with
the mixed feelings — excitement on one hand
and anger on the other. I was excited
because the music legend was remembered
and recognised years after his death — that’s
superb! However, I was heartbroken that
Nigeria does not admire and celebrate her
own sons and daughters demonstrating
uncommon excellence in their areas of
interest. One would quickly recall that Taiwo
Akinkunmi, the designer of the Nigerian flag
(a huge source of national pride), was
honoured a national award only after
decades of neglect. Isn’t that disgraceful?
A few days later, it was all over the media
that the Nigerian veteran comedian,
Basketmouth, was specially honoured in far-
away Houston— the 4th largest US city.
Reportedly, July 17 was proclaimed
Basketmouth Day by the mayor of the city of
Houston in Texas. This was obviously done
in recognition of his extraordinary feat. I
doubt if anyone would dispute the fact that
Basketmouth really deserves the great
honour. I first saw him performing live at a
campus show at Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, where he came to thrill the
students in the height of academic warfare,
and I did doff my hat for him that day—he’s
a great bundle of talents. In fact, I said to
myself: “This guy is going places, and he will
definitely win a national award
someday.” That’s what I say whenever I
come across young talented Nigerians and
Africans, who sweep me off my feet – I am
an incurable optimist.
Beside Basketmouth and one or two other
comedians, there are a number of
exceptional Nigerians, who deserve the
national awards. However, have they ever
been considered? No. Let’s discuss some of
these remarkable citizens.
To the best of my knowledge, the national
awards are not designed for the “friends of
the government”, who are experts only
when it comes to looting of the public funds.
Instead, they are designed in order to
recognise the contributions of the notable
people to the development of their
communities and the country at large. When
they are honoured as deemed fit, this
inspires and gives hope to the younger
generation that indeed there are the rewards
for excellence, diligence and patriotism. In
case of Nigeria, the situation is exactly
opposite. Doesn’t that explain why an
average Nigerian youngster doesn’t care
about impacting the lives of fellow
countrymen, and, moreover, doesn’t give a
damn about the community development?
Fela Durotoye has touched the lives of so
many Nigerian youths as a foremost
motivational speaker and author. Through
various nation-building projects, he helped
many young ones to find their purpose in life
and build outstanding businesses/careers.
This fantastic man inspired numerous
Nigerians to create solutions to the
overwhelming problems the country is
facing. Fela is the CEO of Gemstone Group,
an organisation, whose mission is to raise
excellent leaders at any age committed to the
process of turning Nigeria into the world’s
most desirable nation to live in by December
31, 2025. Isn’t that amazing?
I can easily remember the ecstasy and
eagerness with which we used to watch
New Dawn with Funmi on NTA in the 2000s.
We were always looking forward to that
moment when the legendary Funmi Iyanda
would feature the story of the “hard-to-
reach” Nigerians (particularly children, youths
and women), and then bring succour to
them in a very inspiring way. That emotional
stories never failed to strike the cord of
patriotism in me

FANTABULOUS

Model cum actor, Ik Ogbonna has revealed that
he would be having an elaborate wedding soon
with the mother of his second child, Sonia
Morales. According to him, they had their court
wedding in Serbia when Sonia got pregnant, but
an elaborate wedding will still hold, this year or
early next year.
He said,
Yes, we would have an elaborate wedding before
the end of the year or early next year. My wife is
a Latin American but she is also a naturalised
citizen of Serbia. I travelled to Serbia to meet with
her parents and we had a court wedding. We
have not had a proper wedding because she was
pregnant and was recently delivered of a baby. I
need her to recover from childbirth.

The Area Pastor, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Calvary
Parish, Oshodi, Lagos, Jeff Agambi, has warned the Federal
Government not to allow the United States impose the same-sex
bill on Nigeria in the course of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
visit to the countrry.
Agambi said this during the church’s free medical
outreach in the Oshodi area during the weekend.
The cleric, who noted that same-sex marriages
were against biblical doctrine, said Buhari should
not bow to pressure and compromise Nigerians’
stance on the matter.
He said, “Men having sexual affection for fellow
men are not natural. God did not create man and
man, but man and woman. Same-sex marriages
are basically against biblical belief. I enjoin the
president to hold Nigeria dear in his heart and not
bow to the pressure of the world.
“President Buhari should not compromise. He
should not look at what he alone stands to gain.
He should stand by what the majority of
Nigerians want.”
On the medical programme he said, “The
directive for this programme is from our General
Overseer, Pastor E.A. Adeboye. We must impact
our society. We believe we must also give back
to the society we live in. This is the 16th
anniversary of the church, which is also the
number of the years that we have been having
this programme.”
The doctor at the outreach, Cosmas Odoemena,
advised Nigerians to imbibe the culture of regular
medical check-ups.
“This programme is also a public health
enlightenment. We were supposed to have
breast cancer and cervical cancer screenings.
Medical check-ups are supposed to be six
months, which translates to twice a year,” he
added.
The programme, which included HIV test, Blood
Pressure test, Sugar Level test, and the
distribution of free drugs, had about 100
participants.

Lolz....HBD ma'am

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday vowed to recover billions of dollars stolen under the administration of his immediate predecessor, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. He said the Jonathan government threw the nation into a financial crisis by throwing all financial and administrative processes in parastatals and agencies to “the dogs” Promising that the era of impunity and financial recklessness was over, the President said the next 90 days might be hard for the Federal Government and the states. “The next three months may be hard, but billions of dollars can be recovered, and we will do our best,” Buhari said in a statement made available to journalists after his meeting with the 36 state governors in Abuja. But he did not state how he would go about the recovery of the looted funds. Buhari regretted that the impunity, lack of accountability and financial recklessness in the management of national resources by the past administration threw the country into a situation that is worse than what happened in the Second Republic. The President, in the statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, added, “There are financial and administrative instructions in every government parastatal and agency. “But all these were thrown to the dogs in the past. Honestly, our problems are great, but we will do our best to surmount them.” He said that a comprehensive statement on the economic and financial situation inherited by his administration would be made public within the next four weeks. “We will try and put the system back into the right position. What happened in the 2nd Republic has apparently happened again, and even worse, but we will restore sanity to the system,” Buhari assured the governors. It will be recalled Buhari toppled the Second Republic government of President Shehu Shagari on December 31, 1983 on allegations of corruption and gross mismanagement. The President, according to the statement by Adesina, expressed surprise that governors had been tolerating the atrocities allegedly committed in the management of the Excess Crude Account since 2011. He then promised to tackle the issue decisively. The President also declared that the payment of national revenue into any account other than the Federation Account was an abuse of the constitution. He added that most of what he heard going on in many agencies and corporations, particularly the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, were clearly illegal. On the refund of money spent on federal projects by state governments, Buhari assured the governors that the Federal Government would pay, but insisted that due process must be followed. The President said that special assistance would be given the three North-East states badly affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. On an immediate lifeline for states that have yet to pay their workers for months, the President said that a committee headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo would look into the ECA and come up with an amount that could be shared immediately. The governors, led by their Chairman, Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State, had presented a wish list to the President.

Nigeria’s Department of State Security today issued a press release detailing the reason
they invaded several houses owned by former
National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki
(rtd). The statement signed by one Tony
Opuiyo stated that Mr. Sambo initailly resisted
a legitimate attempt to search his official residence, using soldiers to barricade himself
inside. The refusal of Mr. Sambo to allow a
thorough created a tense standoff between the
SSS team that arrived his home with a search
warrant and his military guards, according to
the statement. The SSS also detailed how Mr. Sambo kept
high-grade rifles at his official residence and
how he lined his parking lot with at least 5
luxurious armored cars ostensibly purchased
with stolen government funds.

Queen Okafor in her last interview said she gets not less than 100 suitors and admirers everyday depending on the occasion. Married and single men, boys, girls, lesbians and gay men are all attracted to her. Check out the new photos the very self confident lady released.

Emmanuel Adebayor has all confirmed his
recent conversion to Islam in a new post
wishing fellow Muslims a happy Eid Mubarak
along with his manner of dressing. The
soccer star shared a message on Instagram
along with a photo of himself wearing the
popular Arabian white thawb and an ankle-
length white shirt. He covered his head with
shumagg, a heavy red and white scarf-like
head cover. SEA, to all my Muslim
families: may the blessings of Allah fill
your life with happiness and open all the
doors of success now and always. Eid
Mubarak!

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has said the Niger Delta region will suffer for the actions and inactions of the immediate past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan, who lost the March 28 presidential election to President Mohammadu Buhari hails from Bayelsa, a state in the Niger Delta. Obasanjo spoke while responding to questions shortly after delivering a convocation lecture at the Benson Idahosa University, Benin City. The ex-president said he couldn’t have helped Jonathan to do his job as Nigeria President after helping him to secure the position. He said, “I became the Head of State because of my performance in the war front. If General Gowon had not sent me to the war front, he would not know whether I could perform or not. He sent me to the war front and because I performed, we both shared the credit. But if I had failed, he would not have shared the condemnation with me. I would have taken that alone. “I believe that the opportunity that afforded itself in 2010 was for somebody from the minority to on his self esteem become the President of Nigeria. We should never lose such opportunity. What he did with that opportunity is entirely up to him. What he did or did not do with it will reflect for a long time on that part of the country. There is no particular person who got there without the people.”

Tolzeal:
Free things are always cool, Especially when you need to surf the internet 24/7 at little or No cost at all. Also Free stuffs could lead your way to hell or badluck when you're be en been watchful. Today i bring to some of the greatest disadvantages of surfing/wanting the internet at no cost at all.



As an ancient psycho, Who has always been a freak of the internet for half a decade now, I've deduced this & wanting to outsiders to know how enormously F..B..T can make negative impact in your life...


So, Just listen up as i HIT my push button.



*TIME: So goes the saying, Time is money & Time waits for nobody. Have you ever wondered why you keep getting late to classes ? How you dont wake to time for work ? Why you would get late to seminars / Summits?

Internet is a great home, No one's disputing the reality, But the Evil of F..B..T is the downfall of sucess mostimes. Especially when you so much indulged in it like me.Unlimited can actually reduce the life span,You get to develop so much interest on the internet for junks? You believe downloading unnecessary files to be top perioty .


A typical example is a student who would always wake Up at mid to catch the fun of the downloading speed & misses the day classes due to sleepless night When you couldn't cheat on nature.







*SCAMMING: Yes, Mosttimes when you're so much into F..B..T, We've got a lot of folks out there whom they're main purpose of living the Internet is to extort from people willing to get F..B..T from them. Lots of Nairalanders are living Alibis to this kind of situation.



*VULNERABILTY : Did you know Free brows.ing Chea.ts could actually crash your laptop? Heavy Downloading from the web might definitely lead to you downloads of undetectable malwares, viruses and security threats into your laptop computer which may eventually crash it.

One of the ways mischievous virus writers adopt to gain attention is to generate a program in form of codes which gives a desirable end-user result. While you are happy using these codes, hidden viruses which are masked under these codes are secretly breaking your firewall and other cyber defenses and invading your computer system. Unfortunately, the consequence of such dangerous invasion of your internet browsing device is only felt after a reasonably long period of time so you never get to associate your computer problems with the effect of using F..B..T . In Nigeria, many active internet users are surfing the web through fr33 browser cheats or codes. Many have suffered losses from attacks as a result without knowing the cause and many more are unknowingly on the verge of facing such attacks.


As Nigeria enjoys a very fast growing economy and a developing information technology, there is need to educate every internet user on the need to surf safely on the internet. Information and communication service providers in Nigeria have got secured ways of subscribing to the internet also providing Cheaper means of acquiring Data (SME).It might be ideal followinh these legal means and forget the idea of freely browsing the internet with cheats or codes with VPNs .The cheats may work for you today, but you may lose your computer or other devices tomorrow. More so, your security and future is never assured as you may lose your highly secretive and vital details to developers producing these fr33 brow.sing cheats and codes for you.


Thanks for taking the time to read the PIECE.
