Naija celeb and moderacy na like fire and water...i know some people would shout poverty mentality. Haaa i already knew your thought.

Babe2sure:
Sometimes reality sucks, truly.

Truly, the reality of life is of great exprience and advantage.

For me to press forward is of great gain...

Gain the whole world and lose your soul is satanic.

Marriage is sacred and must be honourable. Marriage is what makes the world go round and meanningful. Despite the joys and pleasure of being married, only few understand the purpose of marriage. Marriage is bassically for four reasons, which i would to my own understanding list in there order of importance; COMPANIONSHIP, PROTECTION, S.EXUAL SATISFACTION AND PROCREATION. N.B: There are also other reasons but this i count more important.
I want to us to discuss on the protection part of it. Protecting someone simply mean doing everything within your reach to save someone from any form of evil. It can simply be reagrded has defending.
Protecting the one you love. I was reading a story by KAYEMJAY on the litrature section 'The Complete Assasin (TCA)' Where there is a family of five(father, mother and three children) who were having a nice time during their dinner, and suddenly armed robbers bursted into their apartment asking for money in which the man simply obliged. After collecting and confirming the money, the gang leader then annouced that one of his boys would love to have carnal knowledge of the wife, in the presence of his husband and children. She was grabed, she struggled but was overpowered and was succesfully put on her four and the guy was having his way with her. But the husband who at gunpoint, who could not take it anylonger dashed at the man and was shot on the chest by the gang leader and was left to struggle for his life in the pool of his own blood, in which he latter died before the robbers left the scene.
Now to the point, many family have exprienced this situation, some acted calmly, some otherwise. Did the husband acted ignorantly or that is the best thing he should have done in such situation? Note this is just one of many cases that happens on daily bases. What is the best thing we can do when we come to the junction of protecting our loved ones, even when it might involve and take our life like donating our vital organ, going on a sucidal mission to save our loved ones, subjecting ourself to serious suffering or torture e.t.c?

When I was a kid, my dad bought a new
car and drove us to church one Sunday. It
was a prophetic service and our pastor
was being used by God that day to deliver
people from poverty. Suddenly, our pastor
looked at my dad
and said, "Daddy Vicky, God is set to bless
you!"
My mum jumped up and shouted excitedly,
"Amen!!!"
My dad was excited too. The pastor then
came closer, placed his hand on my dad's
head and prayed for him. As our pastor
turned to climb the alter, God told him
something. He stopped, looked at my dad
and said, "Daddy Vicky, you bought a new
car last week?"
"Yes sir." my dad responded with much
surprise on his face.
Then our pastor said, "God said I should
tell you to sow your CAR KEY into my life."
I was shocked that my dad did not argue
with the pastor, he just put his hand in his
pocket, brought out the car key and gave
to our pastor.
After about 5 minutes, my dad stood up,
went outside the church, he didn't even
wait till the end of the service. I could see
him boarding an Okada going home. "He
must be very worried." I reasoned in utter
fear and confusion.
After a while, he returned to church with
the SPARE KEY of his car and drove the car
back to the house. I was so stunned at
what I was seeing. When I asked him why
he acted that way he.said, "Vicky, use your
brain, the pastor asked for the KEY and
NOT the CAR." What do you think of Daddy
Vicky?t

This is Seriously serious

The Super Eagles will commence training in Abuja on Monday as no fewer than 10 players arrived at the team’s camp on Monday in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nation (AFCON) 2015 qualifier against Sudan. Nigeria will play Sudan in Omdurman on Oct. 11 before a return-leg on Oct. 15 in AFCON 2015 qualifier after a 2-3 loss to Congo in Calabar and a goalless draw in South Africa. A statement issued in Abuja by Ben Alaiya, the Super Eagles Media Officer, said the players were expected to begin training, while others would join before dinner on Tuesday. It listed Omatsone Aluko of Hull City, Hope Akpan and Babatunde Michael, who shone at the Brazil 2014 World Cup, as the early arrivals. Noskhare Igiebor, a midfield gem, who recently relocated to Israel, Aaron Samuel, Gbolahan Salami of Warri Wolves FC and his team captain Azubuike Egwuekwe, are among the first 10 players to arrive.
Emem Edward, goalkeeper Chigozie Agbim and leading Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) scorer, Ighodalo Osagunna complete the number in camp. "As at 3p.m. on Monday, at least 10 players have arrived the team’s camp with training expected to commence on Tuesday morning at the training pitch of the Abuja National Stadium. "All other players invited for the game are expected on Tuesday before dinner time,’’ the statement read. It quoted Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, as saying that he was impressed by the response of the players, as there was a need for cohesion before the crucial match. "The response so far has been wonderful and I am in touch with those who are yet to arrive and they will surely be here on time for proper preparation against Sudan,’’ the statement quoted Keshi as saying.

Is this where HIV came from?
2014-10-06 09:04
Abuja - A new study into the origins of the
AIDS virus suggests one strain of HIV
appeared in the early 20th century in the
western region of Congo and spread
through a swath of Africa over the next
several decades without notice by the rest
of the world.
The researchers say the findings support,
but don't prove, the theory that the virus
expanded its reach in Africa due to social
factors such as railroad expansion,
changing sexual habits and unsafe medical
practices.
How HIV became a pandemic
The study adds to our understanding of
"how a virus that is less transmissible than
other pathogens like malaria and the
common cold can still become established in
the human population and eventually grow
into a devastating pandemic," said study co-
author Philippe Lemey, from the Rega
Institute for Medical Research at Catholic
University of Leuven, Belgium.
"The fact that social changes were critical in
the rise of the virus suggests that such
changes may also be an important factor in
combating epidemic spread," Lemey said.
The origins of HIV, the sexually transmitted
virus that causes AIDS, are still hazy.
Scientists believe variations of the virus
migrated from primates, possibly monkeys
and chimps, to humans in Africa. Then two
strains of the virus, known as HIV-1 and
HIV-2, developed in people.
The new study, published in the Oct. 3 issue
in the journal Science, looks at a form of
HIV-1, the prevalent strain in the world
today. Scientists previously determined that
it existed in heterosexual populations in the
first half of the 20th century, but exactly
where and when it appeared wasn't clear.
Initial appearance of HIV
Now, the study authors say analysis of virus
samples suggests this form of HIV emerged
in Kinshasa, the capital of what is now
known as the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, in the early 1920s. The researchers
relied on a "molecular clock" model to
determine the timing.
"Its initial spread followed the Democratic
Republic of Congo's transport links, in
particular its railways, that made Kinshasa
one of the best connected of all central
African cities," Lemey said. This new ease of
movement, coupled with prostitution (a
byproduct of development) and use of
unsterilized needles by medical workers
treating sex workers may have boosted
transmission of the virus, he said.
Why these findings matter?
Lemey said the research reveals a "perfect
storm" of social changes that may have
fostered HIV's spread. This matters now, he
said, because "knowledge of the
circumstances that facilitated the expansion
of the epidemic can assist the development
of effective education and prevention
programs."
According to Lemey, the virus may have
gone undetected because few people were
infected at first and because the symptoms
caused by the AIDS-related decline of the
body's immune system were "definitely not
new to Africa." AIDS wasn't formally
recognized until 1981 after it had spread
across the world. Since then about 75
million people have been infected, according
to a United Nations report.
Lemey cautioned that the findings don't
offer insight into how a variation of the
virus leaped from animals to people, or what
might have happened if the virus had been
recognized decades ago. There's no way to
know if medical officials could have stopped
its spread.
Still, the study authors say the findings could
be a template for understanding the spread
of other blood-transmitted diseases such as
hepatitis C.
Currently, researchers around the world are
struggling to contain Ebola infections in
Africa.
William Schneider, a professor who studies
the history of medicine at Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis,
praised the study for providing "a
fascinating and helpful framework" to
understand the origins of HIV/AIDS.
Schneider is part of a team of historians and
anthropologists exploring the roots of the
disease in Africa.
However, Schneider said the authors'
theories about the spread of the disease
aren't convincing because they're based on
questionable information from a time when
Europeans controlled much of Africa.
"Colonial records are well-known by
historians and anthropologists to be biased,
selective and above all in need of broader
understanding of historical and cultural
circumstances to evaluate their usefulness,"
he said.b

What else.

Probably she has forgotting she is a married woman.

Nice work. This is a welcome development. The drug is good, but we need vaccine the more, so that we can be immune against this deadly disease, the carriers animal all sorrounds us here in Africa. . Please vacine is important, because we can't do without bush meat here ooo.

Ekiti State University will represent Nigeria
at a world competition scheduled for China
following the landmark success of the
University at the Entrepreneurial Action
Us (ENACTUS) national competition held in
Lagos. ENACTUS national competition was a
platform to assess the quality of the
combination and strength of Nigerian
Universities undergraduates in academic,
techno-
creativity and entrepreneurshi p skills.
All participating Universities spread across
the nation presented patent projects that
were self-designed and were assessed by
a group of experts. Ekiti State University

PREMIUM TIMES ''Twenty-four hours after her
claim to have acquired a Masters degree
from the St. Paul’s University in the United
States was punctured, PREMIUM TIMES has
uncovered another false claim by our
embattled Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah.
This time, the minister lied on oath to the
Nigerian Senate, claiming another American
‘university’, Pacific Christian University
awarded her an honorary doctorate degree
in 1998.
Mrs. Oduah made the claim in a 7-page
resume she distributed to Nigeria’s 109
senators during her confirmation hearing on
July 2, 2011. On page four of the document,
the minister claimed the university, which
she said was based in Glendale, awarded her
an honorary doctorate in Business
Administration. Download the resume
Minister Stella Oduah submitted to the senate
here. It was based on this document that she
was grilled and eventually confirmed by the
lawmakers. But investigations by PREMIUM
TIMES suggest that no university called Pacific
Christian University exists in the United
States.
The U.S. Department of Education, through its
National Centre for Education Statistics, keeps
an up-to-date database of all public libraries
and educational institutions in the country –
public, private and colleges.
PREMIUM TIMES reporters spent hours on
Wednesday searching this database. Our
reporters searched by state (California), city
(Glendale) and name of institution (Pacific
Christian University). Yet, nothing came up in
the name of the university Mrs. Oduah
claimed gave her an honorary doctorate.
According to the database, there are six
colleges (universities) in Glendale, a city of
191,719 inhabitants in Los Angeles County,
in the state of California. The colleges are
American Medical Sciences Centre, Brand
College, Glendale Career College, Glendale
Community and North-West College. There is
no such university known as Christian Pacific
College as claimed by the minister. The
spokesperson for the National Centre for
Educational Statistics, Susan Ad, could
however not be reached for comments. She
is yet to return calls and reply an email sent
to her by this newspaper. The
spokespersons for the minister appear
unwilling to comment for this story.
Efforts by PREMIUM TIMES to get them to
react to this new revelation were
unsuccessful. Joe Obi, her special assistant
on media, did not answer or return calls.
Yakubu Datti, the spokesperson of the
aviation agencies, who usually speak for her,
answered our call but immediately said he
would call back. He is yet to do so as at the
time of publishing this.
Meanwhile, in the same resume she
submitted to the Senate, Mrs. Oduah did not
indicate that she got a Masters from St. Paul,
raising questions on why she made that
claim in her official citations and profiles
posted on the Ministry of Aviation website,
her personal website and her Wikipedia
page. She only claimed in the document to
the Senate that she obtained a Bachelor of
Science degree from St. Paul’s College in
1982, a claim that PREMIUM TIMES is
investigating.
The spokesperson for the Nigerian senate,
Enyinnaya Abaribe, tried Tuesday to extricate
the senate from blame as Nigerians criticize
the lawmakers for conducting a sham
screening exercise that allowed Mrs. Oduah
to get away with lies and deceits. Mr. Abaribe
said the lawmakers depend largely on the
nation’s security agencies to help them
investigate claims by appointees of the
president. He said in conducting screening
exercises, the senate relies largely on reports
forwarded to it by the security agencies. Mrs.
Oduah, and her associates have spent the
last several hours scrambling to clean up the
minister’s biographies on the Internet,
following allegations that she lied about her
academic qualifications.
Already, Mrs. Oduah’s biography on the
website of the Ministry of Aviation has been
revised, with references to St. Paul’s College
now wiped out. The Wikipedia page of the
minister was also edited and it now has no
reference to the university Mrs. Oduah
attended. The last edit on the
Wikipedia page was done at 14:41 p.m.
Nigerian time Tuesday. All links and reference
materials on the Wikipedia page capable of
linking the minister to the university that has
disowned her have also been deleted. Even
the minister’s personal website has been
reviewed to remove any reference to St.
Paul’s College. Mrs. Oduah had since October
been enmeshed in a a N255million armoured
cars scandal in which she was accused of
compelling an agency under her supervision,
the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, to
buy her two exotic bullet cars at clearly
inflated prices. The purchase of the cars
generated outrage for weeks because its
cost was inflated, and it was neither listed in
the government-appr oved budget nor did
it comply with the Nigeria’s public
procurement law. The House of
Representatives has since asked President
Goodluck Jonathan to sack the minister but
the president has failed to act''.

you forgot to include how some slang will pass through the first and second bill readind and be confirmed as useable. ' imagine someone said he laughed and fell from indomie tree' dem don dey plant indomie naija i hail oo. lol

[quote author=sweet-tease]I only wish its a guarantee for a good husband *sighs*[/quote]are you jealous becos u've lost yours, don't worry you can also determine to ''hold till marriage''.

This was my first suggestion after reading the president's reply. But i doubt it if the president can do this vividly without fear or favour. If this investigation is not diplomatically handle and the report released to the public then we can assume that OBJ allegations are truth that can not be neglected. Imagine the person you said blackmailed you are are telling he he would be quized and not investigated (your definition of investigaion is quized)
Ps: GEJ your letter is not enough to clear you of this allegations we need action.

Okpuzu01: I am happily married with one kid. My problem is that, my in laws v been mounting pressure on my wife for money. She gives money to them without my consent. I opened up a business wich eventually collapsed as a result of my wife giving her parents money from the business. Her whole families are depending on her to survive. I v seen that we can't make any meaningful progress in life if things continue the way they are. I v talked to my wife severally and yet, she is not ready to change. I AM THINKING OF TAKING ANOTHER WIFE.

You are only compounding your problem. Just try and send her to biz management class probasbly she would think twice.

ceo4eva: [b] Just within a space of 3 days, OBJ, Tambuwal and Sanusi have all indicted the President of Massive Looting and Unabated Corruption.
Moreover, these 3 men are in the same political party (PDP) with Jonathan and not Opposition parties.
Though OBJ is not a Saint, but During his Administration, many were booted out due to his Anti-Corruption Campaign starting with people from his South West Region; S.M Afolabi (National I.D Card Scam), Tafa Balogun (former IG of Police), Bode George (NPA Scam), Sunday Einhdero, Chief Babalola and Femi Fani Kayode (former Ministers of Aviation). We hardly hear of Sentiments, Tribalism and Favouritism then. It's now a different story under GEJ. What exactly is the recurring Problem? GEJ only claims to fight corruption with his lips and on the media. If OBJ was still in power, he would have delivered a keynote address during Mandiba's memorial yesterday because you dare not mess up with him. Anyway, GEJ "doesn't give a damn"
I still strongly believe that this
