When I got there, she started crying, “this boy, wetin dey do you? Make you sef leave Fela. I told her to keep quiet.
In the morning around 9 am, one of my boys came and told me that Fela said if I came around Shrine, they should arrest me .

My own submitted answer is no. Because we need to totally overhaul and restructure Nigeria. Because if Nigeria is not restructured, nobody you put there, with all the technical supports all over the world, will perform. The presidency is a big monolith that has the life of its own. But he must seriously get down to the issue of Nigeria. And the only issue concerning Nigeria now is the structure of Nigeria. He cannot tackle development if he cannot tackle structure of Nigerria. They are tied together.

Pro-Reform Group battling to enthrone a new leadership in Peoples Democratic Party is poised to thwart the emergence of Chief Anyim Pius Anyim as the chairman of the embattled party.

This week, what we will discuss is not my position and really not my view per se, but when we are done, you would agree with me that it does make sense. Before I go further, I would like to state categorically that I am a great advocate for marriage, I am very well married, and I do believe in marriage. I want that to be clear. I do not want to be labeled a woman’s libber or a feminist.

THERE are indications that the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP ahead of the release of its guidelines for its primaries, is set to dump its zoning arrangement at least to accommodate President Goodluck Jonathan.

A five-member panel of the Supreme Court yesterday okayed the April 14, 2007 election of Senator Effiong Bob into the National Assembly.

Justice Adebukola Banjoko of an Abuja high court sitting in Gudu, yesterday, fixed June 24, to decide the merit of separate applications filed before her by former Senate Committee Chairman on Power, Sen.

AS Chief Alphonsus Igbeke gets set to be sworn in next week as the senator representing Anambra North Senatorial zone in place of Senator Joy Emordi who has been representing the zone since 2007, the people of the area are insisting that there is need for the judicial process on the matter to be exhausted before the Senate takes final decision on the issue.

We are already in the critical stage of the election year when people make up their minds to contest or not. It usually is a period of great distraction for those who want to perform, and of course a time for absenteeism by unscrupulous political office holders.

Sex is like a lubricant in every marriage. Statistics have shown that most marriages break up because they lack good sex. The figure also shows that most marriages would have weathered other storms if their sex lives were okay.

IT was encomiums galore as the remains of late Chief Jerome Udoji, whose committee’s recommendation for reforms in the civil service led to the famous Udoji Award of 1974 that uplifted the standard of living of the country’s civil servants, was yesterday laid to rest in his country home at Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State.

Every Nigerian should feel free to live in any part of the nation. I am surprised that we have no value for life. People have been killed in Jos but nobody has lost his job or sentenced to jail. It is very shameful our government cannot protect the weak from the strong.

Why I am saying that Jonathan becoming President is a divine intervention. Yar’Adua’s death is a call of the Almighty, we cannot challenge God, since Yar’Adua and Jonathan were in a joint ticket to run for the Presidency in 2007 and won; and if Yar’Adua was to run in 2011, Jonathan would still have followed him and history is abound in American and United Kingdom of Presidents after completing two terms, it is the Vice President that takes over, God has settled the case in favour of Jonathan.

The do-or-die mentality is still here with us. That is why you see that law suits continue three or four years after elections were held.
