What we want are visionary leaders that would build on the legacies of their predecessors.
Tinubu passed on the barton to a worthy sucessor,Fashola. Same can be said of Victor Attah to Godswil Akpabio. Oshiomole please do find a wothy sucessor when it is time to move on. Rochas so far I'm proud of what you've achieved in just 2years. You are building on the legacies of Sam Mbakwe.

SportsMan Dies After Winning Cockroach-eating Contest by localexpat(op): 2:32pm On Oct 09, 2012
THE winner of a bizarre cockroach-eating competition has died after scoffing dozens of the live insects and worms.

Edward Archbold became ill and collapsed at the pet shop where the contest took place.

Tragic video footage shows Mr Archbold just moments before as he forced the roaches down his mouth to win the competition.

The 32-year-old won a python – which he planned to sell to pal - for landing the title on Friday.

Another 30 people competed in the event in Deerfield Beach, Florida. None of the other contestants became ill afterwards.

Reptile store owner Ben Siegel, who ran the contest, said: "We feel terribly awful. He looked like he just wanted to show off and was very nice.”

Mr Siegel added that Mr Archbold did not appear to be ill before the competition

Politics'they (corps Members) Were Destined To Experience What They Experienced': by localexpat(op): 8:12am On Apr 30, 2011
I was attacked as a corps member in Ibadan –Yuguda By Sunday Ojeme, Bauchi
Friday, 29 Apr 2011

The Governor of Bauchi State, Malam Isa Yuguda, stunned journalists at the Government House, Bauchi, on Thursday when he said he too was attacked as a member of the National Youth Service Corps in Ibadan.

Yuguda reasoned that the corps members, who were murdered last week in the state, only fulfilled their destinies.

Addressing journalists after casting his vote at Shadawanka Primary School, the governor blamed the Independent National Electoral Commission for not providing adequate security for the corps members.

Yuguda was reacting to a question that bordered on the brutal murder of non-indigenes, including at least nine corps members, in his domain when rioters overran the state after President Goodluck Jonathan was declared winner of the presidential election. Over 50 people were reportedly killed during the violence while 90 churches were also burnt.

He said, “They (corps members) were destined to experience what they experienced. Nobody can run away from destiny. When they were serving me, they were the happiest in Nigeria.
“Immediately I handed them over to INEC, it was the responsibility of INEC to protect them. They were not the only ones affected. My own house was burnt; they almost lynched my first son. It is part of their destiny. I was also attacked as a corps member in Ibadan in 1979.

“They were attacked on the services of INEC.”
The governor, who said what happened should not be seen as a reflection of the state, declared that the state should be commended for having the best brains in security management.

He described the development as unfortunate, saying the victims were serving the nation during the attack.

But what happened in Bauchi is far less than what happened in some other states. What happened in Bauchi only lasted for one day
HealthThree Year Old Boy Weighs 51 Kg by localexpat(op): 6:07pm On Mar 23, 2011
A three-year-old boy from China is so overweight, even his mum can't lift him.

At 9st 6lb, the toddler is around five times the normal weight of a boy of the same age.

When Lu Hao was born in Dashan, Guandong Province, he weighed just 5.7 lbs. But from the age of three months, he started to rapidly gain weight.

Now the toddler can eat as much as an adult and throws tantrums when food is not forthcoming.

His father Lu Yuncheng said: "His appetite is so good that for a meal he can eat three big bowls of rice, even more than I and his mother."

"We have to let him be as if we don't feed him he will cry non-stop," said his mother, Chen Yuan.

Last year alone, the toddler managed to gain one and a half stone in weight, the Daily Mail reported.

As well as being dangerously overweight, Lu Hao is also unusually tall for his age. A specialist at the Guandong Children's Hospital suggested the boy's weight gain may be due to a hormonal disorder.

Whatever the cause, the three-year-old is already at risk of developing serious obesity-related health problems, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, heart disease, some types of cancer and type 2 diabetes.

Recent figures from 2009-10 show that nearly one in four children are either overweight or obese when they start school in England, and one in three are by the time they leave primary school.

In 2007, the government Foresight report predicted that 25 per cent of children in the UK would be obese by 2050, unless action was taken.

CareerPhilippines Catches Fake Nuns Going To Lebanon by localexpat(op): 4:30pm On Jan 29, 2011
Six women were detained at Manila airport after being caught trying to sneak into Lebanon dressed as nuns in a bid to get around a travel ban to the country, according to the immigration bureau. Skip related content
Related photos / videos Despite the travel ban on workers, many Filipinos have gone illegally gone to work in …More Enlarge photo The women on Saturday were pretending to be on their way to Hong Kong for a religious seminar but their unusual dress and behaviour alerted officials.

Under questioning they eventually admitted they were actually on their way to Lebanon to work as domestic helpers.

The Philippines has banned people from going to Lebanon to work as helpers since 2007 due to the security situation and inadequate legal protection for its labourers there.

"Their appearance aroused our suspicion especially after we noticed that one of them had red shoes, a colourful handbag and wore her nun?s costume improperly," airport immigration officer Joel Valencia said in a statement.

Investigators are now trying to locate the man who illegally recruited them for work in Lebanon, the bureau said.

Despite the travel ban on workers, many Filipinos have gone illegally gone to work in Lebanon, circumventing the restrictions by travelling through third countries.

It is an opportunity for me again to use the platform of Sahara reporters, a latitudinarian platform to render an unreserved apologia to my audience if at any point in time; they find it a little bit difficult to comprehend what I am saying. I want to apologise that it is not intentionally at all excepting you are saying that I should be deaf and dumb, excepting you are saying that I should not speak. You know, so an apology again. I can’t stop reading.

There has been no deliberate attempt at all to obfuscate or envelope my audience in a state of orga moga. No no no no no, far, far from it.
I put my nose to the grindstone, and I am sort of an omnivorous reader. I read practically everything that comes across my way. I am sure you can see here now ‘The mystical life of Jesus’. This may be outside the purview of an ordinary lawmaker or a lawyer.

HPO: What is the ideological difference? What is the ideological difference between the PDP and the ACN? What is the ideological difference between the PDP, the ACN and other political parties? If there is any ideological difference at all, it is but a twiddly dormant twiddledee.

Let me say that it was unfair and it was a malodorous saga cum gargantuan gaga that that incident happened at all on the floor of the house. It was bestial,
Parliament is supposed to be a costos moros of the people having superintendence over all bridges contras boroughs moor.
But the way and manner parliament reacted in an otto von bismarck approach, with an iron fisted approach,

If they are unable to prove their case Quod erat demonstrandum to a fixation of quod era farcientum, at that stage, you can now subject them to the ethics and privileges committee of the house, but a mere allegation?

Nairaland GeneralGhana Demands For $300,000 From Foreign Business Men by localexpat(op): 10:28pm On May 13, 2010
The Ghana Investment Promotion Council (GIPC] came up with the policy that every Nigerian business outfit in Ghana must pay a record $300,000 before being allowed to do business in Ghana.

Is this policy slammed on Nigerian traders in Ghana alone or does it apply to nationals of other countries in Ghana.

Is this pay back time for `Ghana Must Go episode of the early 1980s “when Ghanaians were expelled from Nigeria --

Husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church, ,Think about it. I have built my marriage on this verse. Courted for 4 years being married for 3years, the love of God flows from my heart to her. While we were yet sinners, Jesus died for us.

You should be friends and not just lovers. Some days we're friends, brother/sister and lovers. Respect each other.

Work out your salvation with fear and trembling the bible adjorns. What this means is that there is no eternal security.How does this apply to marriage. I still bring my marriage before the alter of the author of marriage in prayer. Ask God to fill you with his own kind of love for your partner.

Marry for the right reasons.
