Crime / Signs And Dangers Of Teenage Drug Abuse And Addiction by kenechukwufrank: 4:52am On Apr 24, 2019
Teenage drug abuse is becoming a growing issue in Nigeria after the case of Lizzy, a young girl who claimed to have attended Vivian Flowers School before she was introduced to drugs.

Rescued by Pastor Tony Rapu, senior pastor The House of Freedom, Lizzy, in the video, said that she is an alumnus of two of the most expensive schools in Lagos, Caleb British International Primary School and Vivian Fowler (alledging receiving 2 million per session.)
She said that she was introduced by her boyfriend to heroine over seven years ago and begs on the streets for N2000 to be able to afford drugs.
Teens who abuse drugs may have a greater risk of developing an addiction when they are adults.

It’s important to know the difference between drug abuse and addiction. Many teens experiment with drugs but aren’t addicted.

Teen drug abuse can have long-term cognitive and behavioral effects since the teenage brain is still developing.

Recognition and prevention of drug use can end an emerging problem before it starts. Setting a good example and having talks about drug use are strong tools for teenage substance abuse prevention.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has come up with a fresh claim about the true nationality of President Muhmmadu Buhari.


Kanu, in his broadcast from the United Kingdom at the weekend, said that neither “dead” Muhammadu Buhari, nor “his replacement” Jibril al Sudani, is qualified to contest for Nigeria’s presidential election.

Nnamdi Kanu argued that being born on Nigerian soil was not enough to qualify one as a Nigerian citizen by birth, unless the parents, grandparents of such person is also born in Nigeria.


The IPOB leader said that Buhari’s father, Hardo Adamu, was a nomadic FULANI trader, a duck seller, from the Niger Republic and later became a bodyguard in the Emir of Daura’s palace, which made him to settle in Daura, Katsina State, adding that he (Hardo) was borne in the Niger Republic, not Nigeria.

Kanu said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has opened the door by challenging Atiku’s citizenship by BIRTH, it now lies within the rights of every right-thinking person to also question Buhari’s citizenship by birth, even litigate it in Court.

He added, “NEITHER THE DEAD BUHARI NOR HIS REPLACEMENT JUBRIL AL-SUDANI IS A CITIZEN OF NIGERIA BY BIRTH ACCORDING TO SECTION 25 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

Crime / Asthmatic Corp Member Dies After Parade by kenechukwufrank: 11:29am On Apr 18, 2019
Tragedy struck at the orientation camp of the National Youth Service Corps in Bauchi State when a Batch A corps member, Magdaline Yohana, died while participating in a parade.

The late Yohana, who died at the age of 28, was said to be asthmatic.

Our correspondent gathered that although the incident happened on Monday, April 1, 2019, the management of the NYSC in the state had not yet made any official statement on it.

A source said the corps member, who hailed from Harshaw, Kwaturu district, in the Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, was also an orphan and the second graduate in her hometown.

She was said to have sponsored herself through school.

A news agency learnt that the deceased allegedly complained to an NYSC official at the Wailo orientation camp in the Ganjuwa Local Government Area, of being asthmatic, adding that she would not be able to participate in the regular parade.

However, her claim was allegedly dismissed by the official.

“The official told her that corps members were fond of giving flimsy excuses in order to avoid parade,” another corps member alleged.

She explained that the next day, the late Yohana took part in the morning meditation despite her earlier complaints.

The victim reportedly slumped and was rushed to the camp clinic, but her situation got worse and she was transferred to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital in Bauchi, where she

Politics / The Account Of The Igbo Political Journey From (1914-2019) by kenechukwufrank: 11:32am On Apr 17, 2019
Of the three ethnic groups whose political preferences swing the electoral votes at the national level, the Igbo lack the political infrastructure to the mainstream that choice. The other two groups, Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba have some semblance of unified centralised structure to hoist their choices.

The Igbo, prior to British conquest and subjugation and eventual amalgamation of the ethnic nationalities that constituted Nigeria between 1859 and 1914, had no unified centralised authority. In counterpoise to this Igbo milieu, we have the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani with well-established political infrastructure.

But on the formation of Nigeria on January 1, 1914, all the ethnic nationalities were conquered, subjugated and placed on equal footing as the “subjects” of the British Monarch. None was greater than the other.

However, the British by adopting the political structure of the Fulani Islamic Caliphate of Sokoto amounted to the re-conquest of the tribes and subjugation under the Hausa/Fulani and the Igbo was the most devastated. There was public outcry which led to rebellion epitomized by the 1929 Aba Women Riots. Colonialism lasted barely 40 years before some educated Nigerians domiciled in Lagos stirred up nationalist agitation for political independence.



This agitation was led by freed slaves that made Lagos home but later joined by locals such as Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo. The politics of nationalist agitation was led by Southern educated elements. The deployment of the print media journalism led by Nnamdi Azikiwe (an ethnic Igbo) irked the British colonial establishment and it planned a counter-attack.

The attack consisted of informal adoption of the Hausa/Fulani and grooming them and laying a favourable political structure to ensure that whatever happens to their colonial control of Nigeria, their favoured group will be in control of Nigeria after the demise of colonialism.

As Azikiwe, Macaulay and Obafemi Awolowo were busy in anti-colonial agitation, Britain was busy laying a formidable and impregnable political/groundwork which will render nugatory whatever designs these southern political upstarts may have up their sleeves. Azikiwe was close to achieving pan-Nigerian nationalist political control of Nigeria but he bungled it for quick fixes and extant gains.

After NCNC formation in 1940s, a group called the Zikist Movement was formed by some concerned youths outside the control or mandate of Azikiwe or NCNC apparatchik. The Zikist Movement was revolutionary and was so well organised and energetic to the consternation of Britain. It abhorred British political chicanery and its major object was to seize power from Britain unconditionally or certainly not on Britain’s own terms.

Britain abhorred this Zikist’s scheme and considered it the greatest threat to its designs and interests in Nigeria. So it counter-attacked and that with unspeakable devastation. It had floated a hoax of how it was willing to cede power to the nationalists led by Azikiwe on a ‘platter-of-gold’ hinting that the Zikist Movement was a stumbling block to its realisation thereby putting Azikiwe in a state of divided interest as he thought that the Zikist Movement might, after all, jeopardize his political future under the British political transition. So in a state of split loyalty, Azikiwe settled for rapprochement with British colonialists while distancing himself and the NCNC from the Zikist Movement’s activities.

Having achieved the division of loyalty between Azikiwe/NCNC and the Zikist Movement, Britain as the master of intrigues moved in to sponsor tribal groups to transform into political parties to break the ascendancy of NCNC in Nigerian politics. While these two British schemes were at work, the British colonialists weighed in with an alleged attempted murder of colonial secretary, Hugh Foot by an agent of Zikist Movement.



At the happening of this event, Azikiwe effectuating his new found love with Britain disowned and condemned the Zikist Movement even before the group had made its defence of the allegation.

This event and Azikiwe’s reaction to it marked the downfall of Nnamdi Azikiwe as the political leader of Nigeria and that destroyed the political trajectory of the Igbo as several principled and committed Igbo politicians were rubbished by that singular act of Azikiwe and Azikiwe and the Igbo never recovered from that betrayal’s after-effects. From then on, Igbo politics became transactional: a cocktail of short fixes, anything goes, based purely on what one gain as opposed to committed and principled vocational political struggle to achieve group/public interests as opposed to individual gains.

At the fall of Azikiwe, Britain gingered the tribal unions in Mutanen Arewa and Egbe Omo Oduduwa to transform into political parties to challenge the NCNC. Despite these shenanigans, NCNC managed to have national spread, especially in Eastern and Western Regions until the political masterstroke executed at the Western Region House of Assembly where NCNC renegades joined Awolowo’s AG to form government thereby marking and establishing the culture of cross-carpeting in Nigeria.

Having been politically outsmarted, Azikiwe scurried to Eastern Region to displace Eyo Ita as Premier and thereafter settled for the hollow office of Governor-General and later ceremonial President and abandoned the Igbo in the lurch. Since then, the Igbo have not got their political bearing right in Nigeria. This situation was made worse by the 1966 political crisis which led to civil war in which the Igbo lost.

After the war, the bogey of domination by the Igbo which was a Northern disease now became a national ailment as the Federal Government policies were directed at containing the Igbo in Nigeria. Such policies as the Federal Character Principle and Quota System were designed to deemphasize merit in civil and public service and even in the selection of university and colleges’ administration officials and students.

It was all these problems that conditioned the politics of the Igbo and made it reactive instead of assertive. Every Igbo politician is coming from a position of weakness. In the first place, he is a product of a system of which he is an outsider and

Romance / Marshall Benard And Gloria Patrick Canceled Wedding! Bachelor's Eve Continues by kenechukwufrank: 12:29pm On Apr 16, 2019
Love specialists have propagated that broken relationships are better than broken marriages, however, the person at the receiving end of a broken relationship find it a tough pill to swallow.

The case of Mr. Marshall Benard is the case of detraught and devastation after his fiancee dumped him a week to his wedding. According to Mr. Marshall Benard, he tried to get his fiancee, Gloria Patrick to reconsider her decision but it was like speaking reasons to a brick wall.

Mr. Marshall Benard, however, didn't disclose the reason why his fiancee took the decision, he just called it "irreconcilable differences".

A heartbroken Mr. Marshall Benard announced the cancellation of the wedding on his Facebook page and apologized to the invited guests while insisting that the bachelor's eve will still hold as planned.

The post reads;

1. Today, Monday, April 15, I was supposed to do a bulk SMS reminding everyone about my wedding this Saturday, April 20. But yesterday, Sunday, April 14, my bride canceled the wedding. Let's just chuck it up on 'irreconcilable differences.'

2. All efforts to get her to reconsider until 1 am last night proved ineffective. I respect her decision, but I wept like a baby. I could have done the unthinkable at midnight yesterday, but there is someone in me, called the Holy Spirit. He wouldn't let me do that. Right now, I'm fine, believe me.

3. Part of the nightmare came from how I would be embarrassing the senior people in my life who I had invited to the wedding, some of who have already made financial commitments. The traditional rites would be held this Thursday, April 18, and more than 85% of everything was in place for both the tradition and white wedding. Again, I wept like a toddler.

4. This is an apology to the general public which I have invited to the wedding, some of who have already bought gifts, made flight and hotel reservations, etc. I respect you enough to give this explanation. I am truly sorry for this mess. To my sponsors, I am sorry.
