The inspiration for this thread comes from Lizzymomma's thread on bearded ladies and their travails.

It seems as though more and more young men (myself inclusive) are greying up prematurely. I am on the right side of 30 at the moment but judging by the frenetic rate at which my black hair's being displaced, i could be all grey by the time i cross to the "other side"

Initially, i used to be bothered about all the snide remarks about being an old man, being accused of age falsification and all that, and i was even tempted at a point to start dyeing my hair. However, i now take all the unpleasant remarks on the chin as i can't quarrel with nature abeg

So, greying young men, how do you cope?

Ladies, would you consider marrying a young man who has the hair of a 60 year old?

What about guys with male pattern bald hair ? how do they cope? Is there any remedy for male pattern baldness?? Matured minds comment pls.

Out of 14, we have 7 Christians and 7 Muslims

In South west, it is said that between 1979 - 1983 all the SW states (Ogun, Oyo, Ondo) were ruled by Christian-Christian tickets. Until the advent of Amosun, Ogun state had never had a muslim governor! Just 4 years ago, before Aregbesola, Osun was a under a Christian-Christian ticket (Oyinlola and Obada).

Between 1999 to date, South west has had more christain governors than muslims (Under AD/ACN and PDP)

PDP has produced more Christain governors in SW than other parties. Does that mean PDP is a Christian party?

All this religious antics are crap if you ask me. What is most important is the credibilty and the performance of the one in charge. Little wonder most south westerners doesn't even realise the fact above that there have been more christian governors.

FFk maliciously said APC governors are made up of 80 % muslims in order to manipulate the poplulace toward voting PDP against the facts above. What he maliciously lfet out is the fact that in South-East and South South governors have been 100% christians (and almost certainly, their deputies too!)

So Where is the Ismalization of Nigerian? In fact, should the majority of the Northan muslim population vote against PDP since PDP is the one playing the religion politics?

. Abdulsalam was in 1997. I knw its a mistake.

PhockPhockMan:
Former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he was aware that Ibrahim Babangida was planning to overthrow him in 1985.

Buhari, a retired major general and presidential aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), told TheCable: “It is true that I learnt he was planning a coup against me. And I sat and discussed it with him in my office.

“He brought the news that he went to Kano and people complained that I pulled a pistol during a council meeting. I said Ibro ? I called him Ibro because I was just senior to him by a few months ? I said whoever wants to sit on this chair let him come and sit here. And he decided to do it.”

Reminded that the punishment for coup making was death and he could have put Babangida on trial, Buhari told TheCable: “Yes. Remember how many people he killed subsequently for trying to overthrow him? But when I came in, there was no bloodshed. I think a couple of policemen were killed and [Brigadier Ibrahim] Bako also died in an ambush.

“But deliberately, nobody was killed. I was in the front, the real front in the Nigerian civil war. I had seen enough of death and I know what God means by human life. Any human being, God values their life. And anybody who hopes to meet God, he should be careful about killing.

“When there is law and due process of law took place, the question is clear. Like the cocaine convicts that were executed, the decision was taken in supreme military council.”

According to information reaching us, he is working hard to ensure the release of his album in December 2014 is a reality.

The musician, in a recent chat with a Lagos-based magazine, disclosed that he has stopped throwing jibes at other artistes who challenge him via songs. Osupa said he is now a matured singer and does not involve in such anymore.

Osupa explained that instead of replying jibes thrown at him, he devices diplomatic ways of handling the issues.

Meanwhile, the artiste declined to react to reports that he purchased land for his band members.

Clerverly:
I read an article somewhere, where Oliseh Metuh of PDP, called for the resignation of Hon. Tambuwal for ditching a party on whose majority he rose to the office of the speaker house of Representative.

In his exact words: “After a thorough consideration of the matter, the NWC came to a conclusion that the Hon. Speaker, as a responsible elected officer, knows full well what is needful and honourable of him since his new party is in the minority [in the House]” he said.

I have also read some comments offline and online, when some ignorant/paid commentators have started insinuating that Hon Tambuwal May lose his office for simply not fulfilling the requirements of the law as regards the position of speaker.

It is very unfortunate that some Nigerians including public office holders are too lazy, to read the elementary sections of our Constitution, some of which are self explanatory.

Now, let us examine what Chapter V, Part 1 (Composition Of National Assembly) sections 47 -50 of the Constitution Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria holds:


There shall be a National Assembly for the Federation which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.

48. The Senate shall consist of three Senators from each State and one from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

49. Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the House of Representatives shall consist of three hundred and sixty members representing constituencies of nearly equal population as far as possible, provided that no constituency shall fall within more than one State.

50. (1) There shall be:-

(a) a President and a Deputy President of the Senate, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves; and

(b) a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves.

(2) The President or Deputy President of the Senate or the Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives shall vacate his office -

(a) if he ceases to be a member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, otherwise than by reason of a dissolution of the Senate or the House of Representatives; or

(b) when the House of which he was a member first sits after any dissolution of that House; or

(c) if he is removed from office by a resolution of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of the members of that House.

So where did PDP find the supposedly "loophole" or authority in law, in asking Hon. Tambuwal to resign? The only option left for them, is to rally their members and see if they can muster the required number when plenary resumes in decemeber, in order to satisfy Section 50, subsection 2 C as highlighted above.

Anything else is calling for anarchy!

CC; Barcanista, Omenka, Berem, Obiagelli, Neenar, Donphilopus, ibsultan, Gbawe,pataki, edcure, pendy97, and the progressives!

. The problem with our politicians is that they take/handle national issue as if its one of those issues they handle @ their various homes Forgetting that Nig. Is both homo-heterogeous country guided by a material piece embodiment called the "Constituton" it is now practically seen that our beloved politicians are not "educated" as most of them are not "politician" what they are is tagged "apprentice/internship politician" they never studied "Government" to be more specific none of them are public administrators,political scientist,etc if "you" were educated you would not be asking or demanding for resignation from "him" you read linguistic in high school not mean you can interprete shorthand their should be clear demacation,boudry,limit,module de operandi, and jurisdiction @ which our politician shoud operate in this great nation !

What concerns NLC with politicians and politics.
Nigeria's big problem is that people do not know their limits.
The NLC should fire this man immediately for dragging them into a issue they have no business with.

Next thing we know, Army generals and police commissioners will start opining on the criteria for political leadership.

As an african man i believe in the adage which say "flog him once and he would flee twice".

but thats not how my wife sees it,she is always keen on pampering the kids base on the facts that she was born and brought up in the states and was not subjected to such method of discipline.


So my question is, is beating a form of ABUSE or DISCIPLINE?

. Whether its a discipline or abuse. Its about you(parent)...personally, My father had never beaten me and by the grace of God today am 30 & people celebrate/admire my kind of behaviour .... He does the trick simply by advising me constantly with perseverance.. My father is a gud man ! The fact that he was a military man; he do handle/discipline his children buh myself in exception.. Lol do nt ask me how my other sibblings behaves lols...

The children of this world are in their Generation wiser than the children of light.. The oversight implication of these developments are that soon the world would be computerised & only few would gain access to and others would be indoctrinated into believing in something they do not have knowledge of...
