What's breaking about the news?

I am not sure about removal of fuel subsidy but that of increase in electricity tariff is already on ground but to take effect in 6months time.

With all that and a lot more,he's still got a slim chance.

So what?

Good for him though...he's such small dude with big engine.

After 8yrs and your album did not get to number 1 on the charts, so Praiz and Buhari who has waited longer?

I can't laugh o...Buhari of course!

Praiz tells why it took him such a long time to release his debut 2-in-1 album entitled, Rich and Famous;

"It took me eight years to put this album together and I’m proud of my album. A lot of people actually think I’d dropped an album before, it is not my doing.

I owe all the success to God. People have been saying ‘Praiz, you don’t have an album’. I work really hard, I’m not one for mediocre music and it has taken this long to put this together. So, for me, it is both awards and commercial success."- Praiz

FG is theirs so let them do as they like.

Sh*ts really happened in that area before Navy evasion.

Of course, already we're watchful.

Don't worry Mr. President will greet us with price reduction come Jan.1,2015....#only hoping#

She's set...I tip them to be killer curves.

This is the position we've found ourselves in Nigeria. This is indeed pathetic.

Striking resemblance...

The Nigerian Navy (NN) in Lagos has said that it arrested five sus­pected oil thieves and recovered a locally made boat loaded with petroleum products on Lagos waters.
The outgoing Flag Officer (FOC), Western Naval Com­mand, Rear Admiral Ilesanmi Alade, made the statement while addressing officers and ratings of the Command at the NNS BEECROFT parade ground.
Alade also said that the sus­pects were being interrogated and would be handed over to the appropriate prosecuting agency if found culpable.
The FOC said that the out­come of the interrogation would reveal where and how the products were stolen.
He said that the Federal Gov­ernment had approved the es­tablishment of a Forward Op­eration Base (FOB) at Majidun in Ikorodu, Lagos.
Alade said that the aim of the FOB in Ikorodu is to reduce the activities of pipeline vandals in the area.
``You are all aware that we recently raided Majidun area of Ikorodu, where vandals have practically converted into a safe haven for their criminal activi­ties.
``Over 300,000 jerry cans fully loaded with fuel were recovered, all the jerry cans were buried in the murky waters
waters of Majidun River,’’ he added

Unlike most physically chal­lenged folks who rely on help from friends and family to move around, Cobhams Asuquo is quite a breath of fresh air. Mov­ing around the house and doing stuff like bathing his son and do­ing dishes isn’t such a big deal for him.
And you would think he would be a victim of bully, especially during his primary and second­ary school days, yet, Cobhams says he also did bully some of his mates, which he regrets though.
Quite an interesting chat with OPEOLUWANI AKINTAYO where he talks about growing up, career, family and loads of other mind-catching issues.
Read on;

Q - I was amazed when I saw you walking around the house with­out help. You must be a genius!
A -I don’t think there’s anything spectacular about that. The loss of sight doesn’t necessarily mean that you lose coordination or that you lose your baring. Since I can hear, I can smell and feel, all those of those factors still help me move around freely. Seeing is great actually but I’m used to my environment which helps me move around very well.

Q - What was it like growing up in a barrack?
A - It was fun, wild and exciting. I consider myself a true barracks boy because I ran through the streets, played with tires, fought a bit as a child, until a girl 5 years older than me slapped me and for the very first time, I saw stars! After then, I realized fighting wasn’t meant for me. So, I had fun and played. I had a life and totally enjoyed growing up there because it was a very eventful place where things always hap­pened.

Q - You must have faced lots of bullies, especially at secondary school .
A - First of all, I’m a strong willed person. I do what I want to do and if I do what you want me to do, it’s because I want to do it. So, that wasn’t much of a challenge for me. By the time I got into secondary school, I had lost some time so, I was older than my mates. I was friends with my se­niors in school at Kings College so bully­ing was something that happened to me in primary school. I had my share if it and regretted that I also bullied some people.

Q - So was it in the Primary school that you discovered your music talent?
A - It was before primary school actually. There wasn’t an epiphany of some sought. It just blew on me. I’ve been musical from the age of six or seven. I whistled a lot and tried to sing. I would play on anything that came my way so music just grew in me

Q - But you didn’t study music at the university?
A - No I didn’t

Q - What did you study?
A - My university story is interesting. I studied Law up until my third year, after which I opted out to pursue music.

Q - Why Law, in the first place?
A - Because I felt attracted and called to it. I was fascinated by the relativity and appli­cation of the law in a particular situation and how it can vary from place to place, the morals and details from God that gov­ern this world. I loved the fact that Law al­lows you to argue and determine who is guilty and not guilty. Generally growing up, I liked to argue and see things from a certain stand point but, I guess, the uni­versity system made me lose the taste for it.

Q - You must have fallen in love with some girl in the university
A - I had a regular campus life. There was a girl I was madly in love with before I got into the university so, that was there. So during the university days, I had music and friends around me to keep me com­pany.

Q - So girls didn’t interest you in the university? A - Come on!
I wouldn’t say they didn’t interest me but it wasn’t my priority. Like I said, straight out of high school into the uni­versity system, I was already in a relation­ship with someone I cared very deeply about. I think that was enough

Q - Your kind of music isn’t that popu­lar in Nigeria. How did you manage to get shows?
A - It was all about the music more than anything else and by this time, I was more into music production than singing. So I was making music for almost everybody. I made ‘Catch Cold’ for Maintain in my year 1, ‘Faze Alone’ for Faze in my third year, ‘Maintain In India’ for Maintain ei­ther in my second year or third year so, I was working as a producer which was my focus not on getting shows and perform­ing.

Q - You seem to be very close to God. If you had your sight, would you still be close to Him?
A - I don’t think sight is the reason why I love God. I think I’m close to Him be­cause I found him too big in my life. I’ve had encounter and experiences that no one would have showed up and given me much hope and he just stepped in and took care of everything me. No one can be God in your life and I’m grateful to know more of Him

Q - So were there times you asked why he created you blind?
A - I don’t think I’ve had cause to question Him because I haven’t had a bad life. The honest truth about life is that you can be sighted and unemployed and dealing with a heart condition and loss of loved ones, poverty and all and still question God. So I don’t think sight is a reason why I should question him for created me like this. I could easily have asked why He decided to bless me like this because obviously, He has blessed me in many ways. He has put me in a place where many people envy

Q - So you haven’t asked Him for your sight, even if it’s to see your wife and son!
A - The good thing is that I think touch is better than sight. Sight is great don’t get me wrong but one of the challenges we have in this world is that we see a lot of things we can’t touch and that’s what creates desire. Touch quenches desire and my wife and kid are people that I can touch and I have a close relationship with them, I have a picture of them branded in my mind and brain. So, I know them better than I know anybody else. But if it will make my wife happy for me to see her then, it’d be nice to see. If I can touch her face, what else is better?
Deaf and dumb people usu­ally have this bad temper. I bathe my son and prepare him for school.

I am neither a doctor nor psychologist but I do know that they have another spirit in them. They don't know they're mad while still in the process. A mad person becomes normal the day he knows he's insane.

Though loved by his people,the governor is such a controversial one and keeps ridiculing Ekiti with acts he exhibits.

Develop the state, provide jobs,improve agric and etc. That way the people will forget the "stomach infrastructure" syndrome.

Die-hard supporters they are...

Op you seem to be a professional journalist because you forced me to read the content with your heading.

He's cute...

Pele OJB! What faces A backs B...that's life though.

Can't imagine worthless lives lived by these BH guys...hmm!

Single ladies beware!

From pythagorean triple a^2+b^2=c^2 where (a,b,c) are (3,4,5).... 3^x+4^x=5^x therefore x=2 because (a,b,c) are pythagorean triple.

This your method is simply called inspection method.
