The president's death rumor is spreading like wildfire.

Thinking

IBF, WBA and IBO heavyweight champion has reveal how beating at Mayflower boarding school, Ikenne, Ogun State, instilled discipline and toughness in him from early age.
Joshua beat Wladimir Klitschko after 11
rounds on Saturday to win three of the four heavyweight titles that belonged to Fury, who relinquished all of his titles in 2015 after his license was suspended pending investigation for doping and medical issues.
In 2002, Joshua joined his Nigerian mother
Yeta in the African nation for six months at the age of 11 and attended Mayflower school, Ikenne founded by the late educationist, Dr. Tai Solarin.
After a period that he believes taught him discipline, Joshua and his family returned to the UK, and he resumed the path that led to him being discovered as a promising amateur fighter who has since been groomed for exceptional success.
‘I thought I was going there (Nigeria) on holiday,’ said the 27-year-old who also has an Irish-Nigerian father, Robert.
‘I wasn’t prepared for it. It was a boarding school as well.
‘At the time you think ‘Why?’, but as you get older you think it was good that you experienced it. It was good for me.
‘I think my mum was trying to do some business there; maybe she had it in her mind. You don’t just randomly decide to move there. She might have been thinking about it, but didn’t inform us because we were kids. We stayed out there, not long, only six months.
‘It was a change and I thought I was going to go for the full course: 5.30am in the morning, up fetch your water, put like an iron in your water to warm it up. he Your clothes had to be washed and ironed.
Joshua originally thought he was going on holiday but ended up staying six months ‘It wasn’t an issue but I wasn’t prepared. It was a good discipline.
‘We got beaten. That’s my culture: beating. The government raise your kids now; parents aren’t allowed to raise their kids, because there is so much control about what you do or what you say. In the (Nigerian) culture it’s family, outside support; everyone has a role in raising the kids.’ Joshua, last visited Nigeria – where he still has family in Lagos – 13 years ago.
‘I thought I was in heaven (when I returned to England),’ said Joshua, who continues to be linked with having a future fight in his mother’s homeland.
‘(But) when you are in sport you become a representation of people. I’ve got it (an outline of Nigeria) tattooed on my arm, so people can relate to me.
‘I don’t know if (a fight there) will happen.’

MayhorE:
you don't need Buhari's spokeman to tell you that women gossips alot

Your reason(s) please

Gossip can be defined as an idle talk about some certain people private lives which may not be unfair.
In Genesis 3 v 1-6, The woman had time to allow the serpent engage her with such idle talk, we know the outcome. It was disastrous, she even convince her husband who later partake in the sin and both of them got punished.
The question is why didn't the serpent had approached Adam, why Eve. After all Adam was there before Eve, though the Bible didn't tell us how long, but he existed long before Eve. The devil knew Adam wouldn't have had time for such conversation, he would have disagreed, so he went through Eve, because women generally like to talk.
Also at home, cases have shown that women talk more. It is their field of specialisation, that is why any man who engages his wife in exchange of words about their different family back ground or affairs would end up beating the wife. Because surely, she would say what he wouldn't like to hear.
In the market place, women gossip the more. A man in his place of work is thinking of how much he can gather to take home for the upkeep of his wife and children, while the woman on the other hand, who has less responsibility at home know that whether she sells or not, her man will bring back money for the family. So she is relax to gist with her friends and anybody she chooses to, knowing her man is out there working for her and the children.
It has also been argued that men are too busy to gather together to discuss about another person unless such discussion is about business but the women folk can gossip for Africa. It is easy to see women gather together from morning till night gossiping (such gossip is not even linked to business). But men are busy working… finding means to provide for their family; they (men) don't have time for gossiping.


Seun, mynd44 and other Nairalanders, whom do you think gossip most between the woman and the man? Please, give reason(s) for your answer. Don't just tell us it's woman or man without letting us know your reason(s)
