The Sallah started on a sour note for three villages in Adamawa State, as Boko Haram attacked and killed about 70 residents in Michika Local Govern­ment Area in a renewed attack.

The Islamic insurgent group also destroyed their houses and farmlands.

Among the villages attacked is Kuborshosho, the village of former governor of the state and Minister Youths Development, Mr. Boni Haruna, who lost close relations, one of whom was a 99-year-old man, who was slaughtered by the dreaded group.

The other villages they attacked are Kubi, Garta and others, were still under attack as at the time of filing this report.

Saturday Sun authoritatively gathered that many houses were razed, including the family house of former Governor Haruna.

According to report, four of the former minister’s uncles, aged aunties, nieces and their siblings narrowly escaped death by the whiskers as good Nigerians evacuated them from the war-torn zones of Michika and its environs to Yola, the state capital.

According to sources, the villages were attacked on Thursday night through Friday, and the insurgents went further to attack those who escaped to the mountains.

As at time of filling this reports, sympathisers, who had gathered at the residence of the minister, condemned the attack and appealed to the Federal Government to expedite action towards stopping the evil activities of the Islamic sect.

Farmlands ready for harvest were destroyed, while shops and warehouses belonging to the residents, were burgled and precious items carted away be the insurgents.

"Statistics show that only 3% of single women of marriageable age in Nigeria are undisturbed by their lack of a spouse! The other 97% would do just about anything to become Mrs. Somebody''.

As we read on, we are going to see some rather unorthodox things Nigerian women will do in their quest to bag a husband! Some are bizarre, some are skanky and some are downright sad but if you are willing to try anything and getting a husband is the only activity left on your bucket list, you might want to try a few! (Men beware).

In no particular order:

1)Snatching a friend or relation's man.
All is fair in love and war! Rumor has it that women have resorted to locking their phones, hiding their men and coding their gist from so-called friends because it's a jungle out there.

2)Re-inventing themselves.
Pretence is the order of the day. No man wants to tame the shrew or teach the inexperienced or make an honest woman out of a dishonest one so once marriage is desired, women package themselves in pseudo, ready-made, easy-to-use, highly desirable packages. After marriage, what you see is what you get!

3)Trapping with pregnancy.
This used to be the old school method of getting a man to propose. From skipping the pill to seducing the man or getting him drunk when she was ovulating, a woman usually knew she had the man where she wanted him once she missed her period even if there was no commitment. Now the guys are saying YES to baby mamas and YES to child support. Are the girls deterred? NO! The girls have stepped up their game by involving the parents and you know parents don't like scandals

4)Praying & Fasting.
This would presumably be an honorable means of obtaining a husband but sometimes the prayers are offered up to deities other than God & other times it becomes a song permanently.
Taking his photograph to Cele church for a prophetess to pray over or a powerful Alfa. Heard it works like charm.
Taking his spérm, hair or personal effects to Babalawo. Guys, disposing of your condoms yourself is not such a bad idea.

5)Outright Jazz!
My friend recently gisted me about how a tied up, live pigeon had been discovered in a friend's sister-in-law's box. The woman confessed to using jazz and said she hadn't been sure if the guy would actually propose so she took the necessary precautions.

6)Putting love potion in his food!
This is classic and timeless but shouldn't it be called a compelling potion? Because in this case, love na by force!

7)Proposing to a guy!
Yes it does happen (Who wears the engagement ring?) Toasting a man's family so they make the decision for him! A friend complained that a girl he detested had over the months gotten close to his family. Lavishing on them, cooking for them and basically being their go-to girl and now his mum had put her foot down that he had to break up with his girlfriend and marry little-miss-went-home-to-mama depending on how much power the family wields, their word may be final.

Asking daddy to get them a husband!
If daddy's a big shot, arranging a husband for you is usually as easy as pie and some men would sell their souls for a large chunk of daddy's money so both parties are happy.

9)Being the man's maga!
Some women believe that when you finally get a man to be interested in you, spoiling him and overlooking his every fault would get you into a white gown faster than an okada. Some men don't mind a woman who houses them, clothes them, feeds them, gives them pocket money, never gets upset with them even when they misbehave and cleans up after them with little or no contribution from them living the dream

10)Giving him unlimited freedom.
Tell me I am number one baby; tell me I am the future mother of your kids and not Amina, Bisi or Ngozi. Women used to want to be the one AND ONLY in their man's life, now being the number one is good enough.

11)Polishing up a low class, barely educated brother in exchange for a ring!
The deal is simple, you send your cleaner, gateman or driver to night school, you give him language lessons, you take him to buy some new clothes and deodorant and teach him to call you honey instead of madam and in exchange, he gets to marry you, share an expensive bedroom and never worry about his bills ever again!

12)Revamping you.
Change your wardrobe, lose 20kg, buy a truckload of Brazilian hair, study the karma-sutra, do an angioplasty and change the age on your birth-certificate to read 22. Botox, plastic surgery, a compulsory gym membership and a body magic also indicated!

13)Becoming a worker in church!
Rumour has it that men go to church to marry, the same rumour also reveals that Greeters Ushers and Lead Soloists have the best exposure. Praise the Lord!

14)Moving to a new town or part of town
This always peaks the men's interest and at the same time you get to run away from your past and the old maid labels!

15)Going for deliverance
Going for deliverance from a spirit husband and sowing a big marriage seed in church! Giving your possessions to the poor, giving a sacrificial offering or just giving one thing to God that would make you weep.

16)Abandoning hopes, dreams and ambitions!
I've heard people say that women looking for a prince charming live unrealistic dreams, virgins are old-school, overly educated women are proud, rich women are not submissive, ambitious women are conceited, women with demanding jobs won't have time for their families, women who want a faithful man are deluded and women who don't get pregnant before wedlock have something wrong with their plumbing! So forsake the masters, don't even dream of a PhD, quit your job, give away all your money and surely a husband will come.

17)Outright Desperation
And if all the above fails, they marry a married man!
He could be your friend's husband, your sister's husband, your cousin's husband, your colleague's husband, even your mother's husband if possible.

Can you blame these women? The average guy has commitment phobia or is out to play till he is all spent before he settles down or is waiting to make his first 5 million before saying I do. Even a man with no future ambition or class, much less finances still knows he could have his pick of the best women out there, once he announces he is looking to settle!

''The last census showed a female-dominated demographic with more women per eligible bachelor.
Family and society constantly put the woman in hot water making her personal successes irrelevant till she bags a man''.

OracleHex:
I heard a man say that he prefers a cheating woman to a nagging one.

According to him the tongue of a Nagging wife brings disasters.

What do you think?

Flameboy26: I pray trailer shed jam u die Mr lochas

lalasticlala: Many schools in the country don't really give comprehensive sex-education. And, unfortunately, most parents are uncomfortable to talk to their kids about sex. Hence, youngsters end up getting partial or even incorrect information from the internet.
Some also get misleading information from peers and the wrong people.

In my opinion, teenagers MUST receive proper information about safe sex practices before they engage in sexual practices.

But, who's responsibility is it to give it to them?

ALAYORMII: A Professor of Nigerian descent, Ilesanmi Adesida made history last month by becoming the first black Provost/Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs of the well-respected University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in the United States.






Born in Ondo State, Prof Adesida is a Nigerian engineer whose outstanding work in the field of Nanotechnology has received much acclaim in the scientific community.

He obtained his Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and subsequently went on to develop a body of work in the processing of semiconductors and other materials at the nanometer-scale level.

After his studies, he worked in various capacities at what is now known as the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility and the School of Electrical Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. He was also the head of the Electrical Engineering Department at Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Nigeria.

Commenting on his recently appointed role, Prof Adesida said: “I’m honoured and humbled to be selected as provost of this great campus. This is something I take very seriously. I know how to work very hard and I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get the job done.”


Prof Adesida is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Vacuum Society, and the Optical Society of America. He is also the past-president of IEEE Electron Devices Society.

Coldfeet: Mark therefore called for a voice vote to
determine the approval or rejection of the loan.
Members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
in the upper chamber voted in support while
their counterpart in the All Progressives
Congress voted against it


my bros in PDP every thing is possible weather you agree or not they will do there wish, thank God for APC at least they now have people check mate them nonsense. they have both ARMS since BOKO HARAM started is now that they have surrendered that they want bye ARMS






Opposition party in Nigeria is to perpetually counter whatever the Ruling party wants to do whether good or bad! Not one member of PDP found fault with the motion? And not One opposition member supports the motion? All this people are just "Zombie"

ayusco85: Eat fried ground nut and garri, morning, and night b4 going to bed. Ur pimples will disappear, just like the egyptians, u shall see them no more

Akosbaba: i guess this balances the equation for both sides

donpeey22: It's only lazy people that keep complaining about giving birth to many kids. Like I said earlier, anybody that can afford to should give birth to as many kids as possible. However, if you know you are too lazy to cater for many kids, pls have few of them or non at all. I have seen many poor parents with just few offspring, likewise I have seen many rich parents with many offspring. Also, having fewer kids does not guarantee longer life, much as having many kids does not necessarily imply having a shorter lifespan. You must not give your children everything in life aside the basics, otherwise, the next generation might become a lazy one where men and women cease to work hard to keep the universe active. What a dead generation that would be. I can go on and on but let me stop here for now, I'm sure my points are clear enough.

donefezy:
Уσυ are Very correct

DailyNews: @3cycle maybe or will I say is correct because she may have learnt her lessons from previous bad xprences (hrtbrks)...u don't xpect a lady who have been heartbroken severally or even few times to still fall sheepishly in love with d next guy(s); ofcos she will be tougher in future. But I wonder y virtually all women get hrtbroken before they marry or say approach 40yrs, whereas men don't, na wa o, life shaa

zeb04: . bellong is right tho,waitin period is also tym for preparation. Read books. Marriage books,books on how to raise Godly kids nd also learn things,simple things like hw to bake cake,how to sow clothes,how to make ur kids hair so u don't ve 2 waste noney nd stuff. Just b a litl versatile

sirgreen: My bros I believe in all you said but look at my argument when you manage to finish school you get your first degree after many years of striking you apply for for a job they said you have to have 3-5years experience where will you get that if not in practicing talk about money and opportunity if you don't have it what will you do, go to banks for loan they will give you list of requirements which you cant afford where do we start people are ready to do some thing meaningful but how to start. please show me way pls pls

bigx:

80% of the "Rich People" and "Rich Friends" I know started with nothing, ZERO.

If you want to make it in Nigeria you would, when you stop complaining about the "conditions" you would realise every single Bad thing in this country is a problem waiting for someone to solve it and get paid for it (money in the Bank). Pick a problem and figure out how to solve it today, your assignment, your Business Idea.
