We hear a great deal about ladies chasing moneybags but not enough about those that are neither interested in you nor your money. If it is a choice between men and money, there are ladies out there that would rather have dignified brokeass men in their families than arrogant rich men. They never let most of their friends know they are the major provider for their family. These ladies are willing to spend their money to bring poor men to their taste and standard.

Before you run out looking for one, there is a catch though. The day you messed up eh, they would strip you naked; exposed to the world. Even worse, some of these ladies think they are saviors and may take abuse. But not for long before friends and....

It was all surprises when a groom was nowhere to be found during the traditional rites of his bride in Imo state. He paid N1,500,000 to cater for food, tents, chairs and a public address system. He was also made to set aside N100,000 as the bride price that the two families had agreed on.
Biobelemoye David was asked to add N50,000 to the bride price because he had already impregnated the girl. He was slapped with a N10,000 fine for making a detour to the wrong path and ending up in a different homestead instead of the girl’s. He was also asked to pay N15,000 to appease the elders who had become tired of waiting for...

Prof Mahmood Yakubu, is easily the most important Nigerian living anywhere in the world today.

The reason that some of these otherwise gentlemen have been so treated may not be completely due to their inability to deliver when it mattered most, but most times because ours is a...

Jokes apart, I am a fan of Nyesom Wike, the current Governor of Rivers State. He is a visionary and a revolutionary. He is also bold and sincere! Like Rauf Aregbesola, the amiable former Governor of Osun State, Wike has capacity and a bias for action. He is also a listener’s delight! The governor is a role model for how to be a good leader, especially when matters involving politics in a terrain like ours come to the fore. A man with a big tent and a sterner stuff, Wike speaks truth to power without fearing any foe or minding whose ox is gored. He is one...
