The assorted weapons surrendered by repentant militants under the amnesty of the Federal Government are to be destroyed in accordance with international arms convention, Sunday Vanguard can reveal.

TWO weeks ago, in two separate interviews with Olu Falae, published by two Nigerian newspapers, one of which of course was the Sunday Vanguard, Nigerians were afforded a rare glimpse into the soul of the man. It was a troubled soul.

TWENTY year old first daughter of Delta state, Orode Jade Uduaghan, has severally been described by her friends and family as a 30 year old in the body of a 20 year old. The reason is not far fetched. Unlike many her peers, her thoughts are far removed from the vain and mundane things that young people crave for.

AT a conference we facilitated at the Lagos Business School in August, I had a discussion with a friend who made a powerful speech on motivating Nigerian youths to success.

The summer of 1983 in London was one of parallel experiences. I discovered the ATM machine and the suede shoe. Allow me to explain. One night I was hanging out with three friends at Xenon, a local watering hole on the west side. One of my friends had recently traveled to the United States and began to share information about a machine in a wall that dispensed cash.

We meet many people every day whom we often call friends. More often than not, these are people who really should be acquaintances but we call them friends.

Once you have opened to healing, you may sense that you are ready to confide in a counselor or friend. If you have no one you can trust, feel free to share your story with me via email. I promise to keep all details confidential. I also promise to respond personally to what you write.

I have a chocolate satin evening gown with a v-shaped neck that i plan on wearing to a dinner party, I need advice on what jewelry and shoes i should pick for the dress. i was thinking maybe earrings only…what do you think? -Foluke

It never ceases to amaze me that most women [and men] think that a woman can not look ‘fashionable’ until her hair is fried and limp like the European hair. I meet women who have beautifully soft natural hair which they are able to manage with braiding and weaving, without much stress, but yet they feel this insatiable need to relax their hair.
