		<description><![CDATA[The trial of the former Head of State, General Sani Abacha's Chief Security Officer, Hamza AlMustapha, who was accused of the murder of Kudirat Abiola, eventually came to a decision a few days ago, with the judgment that he be hanged by the neck until dead. Kudirat Abiola was an energetic  personality, who rose to support the claim of her husband, Chief MKO Abiola, as having won the presidential elections acclaimed as the fairest and best that Nigeria had ever known. ]]></description>

Sometimes, they tagged it warning strike, indefinite, etc. At the moment they have been on strike since December last year and they code named it Indefinite and Total strike.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Boko Haram sect has become bolder than ever. They can now confidently announce a locality that they have marked down for an attack, and proceed to launch the assault almost at will. They warned about the mayhem they were going to visit on several areas of Christmas Day, and almost made good their word. And now they have announced their intention of repeating that performance tomorrow. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christmas used to mean so much to me, as a child - so much of nothingness. It was a feeling which accompanied me to adulthood. It meant a time to splurge on good food for a day or two, after numerous activities that meant very little but dragged the time away. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone has said that if a trillion dollar bills were laid tip to tip in a row, it would go right round the world seventeen times. In these days of calculators and computers it would be fun to find out the truth about that statement. Just multiply the length of a dollar bill by one trillion and divide that by the circumference of the globe, and bob's your uncle!]]></description>

Those who advocate idea are, of course, of  Yoruba descent. As it is, only Edo State, cannot claim to be Yoruba, though a section of it is ascribed a Yoruba ancestry which, howbeit, has been strongly contested in recent times. ]]></description>
