God dey o

I have attended a wedding in Ado-Ekiti between twins (male from the same parents) with another set of twins (female from same parents) which they celebrated on the same date and the two marriages are still waxing stronger till date

That is why I don't pity some of these artistes who after running into hard times in the near future, they start appealing to frugal and focused members of the public for financial assistance. Forgetting how they frittered away their earnings in their heydays. Some of us here will organise fund-raiser for them and even call on government to assist them.

Al Jazeera itself is not immuned from this malaise. No wonder their journalists are being arrested and detained here and there even a few months ago here in Nigeria. So they are robbed of the moral high ground to criticize Nigerian journalists.

I would greatly appreciate it if our Islamic organisations could emulate this kind gesture. It's so sad that Islam has been hijacked by extremists turning it into a religion of violence.

The Gambia is also highly recommended. Good hotels, lots of fellow tourists, exotic beaches and other tourist attractions. Low budget too.

This is serious

It's very, very true..

I'm one of the lecturers sent to Uganda and I'm quite sure it was based on merit as I did not lobby in any way to be appointed. I wonder why we Nigerians don't appreciate what we have. On getting here in Kampala, I realise that we Nigerians need to thank God for His abundant mercies and blessings bestowed upon we Nigerians as so many things that we take for granted at home are either unavailable or costly where available. Nigerians are highly respected and adored here wherever we go and I believe we have a lot of positive things to contribute to the benefit of our African brothers here in Uganda. Not only that, there are a lot of business opportunities that are very abundant here that could be positively tapped for our mutual benefits. I really want to commend the federal government for this laudable programme bearing in mind that as we are helping others, we are also helping ourselves.

I live in Akure, Ondo State but I've been to the following states:
Oyo
Lagos
Ogun
Ekiti
Kwara
Delta
Edo
Kogi
Niger
FCT
Nasarawa
Plateau
Bayelsa
Imo
Abia
Anambra
Enugu
Rivers

Simple investigative procedure is to dust his office furniture and door handles for fingerprints, then run these fingerprints through police, INEC, National ID cards, driving licences, network providers and banks databases to reveal the primary suspects. Interview the neighbours for anything suspicious, investigate his political and work rivals especially those that stand to benefit from his demise. At the same time, run an autopsy to determine the cause of death. But I'm sure our policemen would by now have rounded up innocent passers by and his neighbours and clamp them in cells with the sole purpose of extorting money from them.

The Deji (paramount ruler) of Akure, Ondo State(where I live) passed on less than 24hrs ago. Since then I have been receiving warnings from friends and well wishers to be very careful of my movements as certain rituals involving human lives are likely to take place as part of the funeral rites. Strangers are particularly at risk. My mind went back to warnings issued to us when we were in NYSC camp in those days to be careful of our host communities. Are these fears real or unfounded? Mind u, this is completely different from money rituals.

It depends on whether there was a Tenancy Agreement between the two of u. In the absence of any, since they are yearly tenants, pls give them six months notice. Their rents need not expire before u issue the notice. Just state therein that they should vacate your property at the expiration of their present tenancy.

This is getting too far. You will all remember that this same governor went about donating government money to churches all about the state. Now, the largesse is spreading to private schools. I strongly suspect money laundering, using public funds to secretly acquire shares in these private universities. EFCC and ICPC where are u?

Could u believe that our president opened his mouth at the campaign and said he ought to have attended d Commonweath Heads of States meeting presently holding in the Far East but chose to attend his party's Anambra Campaign which he claimed to be of more importance to him?
The question is: which is more important between a partisan campaign of a single state out of 36 or a meeting where issues affecting all the 36 states and the FCT are being discussed? Does d PDP's interest supersede dat of the entire federation?

Some men overstep their bounds by scratching or caressing a woman's palm in the guise of handshake which gesture sends the wrong signals to the lady involved. That is why some women turn men's offer of handshakes.

My people, assuming but not conceding to the fact that those people were actually at the stadium to protest against GEJ, it is still the duty of the police to protect them since they are merely carrying placards and not weapons. It is not for the police to disperse the crowd because they hold a view that is contrary to that go the Federal or State Government. Our constitution guarantees freedom of expression, thought, association and movement. I cannot but wonder which law is Mr. Mbu enforcing.

We have all failed to realise that this is the fall out from the division in the ruling PDP. Pres Jonathan is now hitting back at the sponsors of these ministers who are presently in the New PDP thus throwing all caution to the winds. From all indications, this sack was not a pre-planned thing but was an extremely rash decision which will further widen the chasm in the party. It's a pity that our president has allowed his 2015 ambition to blind him irrespective of the sterling performance of some of these former ministers.

Hey guys I need your assistance. At one time or the other, I've come across seemingly beautiful babes, particularly on the social media. We do exchange contacts, we chat regularly and send them airtime as the case may be. But what puzzles me is that they do request that they want to come and visit me and they would request for transport fare and immediately I send it, they just cut off all connections. These are babes that I've bonded with for months. I don't know how these cheats could be paid back in their own coins. Pls help.

We should be very wary of American intervention in Syria. If care is not taken, and America intervenes in Syria, the events in Iraq would be a child's play. I always knew the West would find an excuse to want to swing the balance of war in favour of the rebels, hence the so-called chemical weapons story: the same excuse used to topple Sadaam Hussein and at the end of the day, none was found. Pls note dat just before the UN inspectors visited the scene early today, America had already positioned its weapons towards targets in Syria, in fact, an attempt was made to prevent the inspectors from visiting the scene all in a bid to quickly finish off the Syrian leader. The Syrian rebels have committed worse human rights abuses but the West has turned a blind eye. The whole game is to protect Israel.

Enya is an unparalleled classical musician. Her songs are deep, and they directly relate/appeal to the spirit, lifting it, stirring it. Maybe that is what we now mis-interprete as being demonic, which is very far from the truth.
