Since the creation of the state some forty years ago, Mimiko has scored many firsts as governor and yet he had chosen not to make unnecessary noise about it. While sighting the endless project sites of his administration in my recent visit to the state, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was still in the Nigeria that I used to know. I took my time to stylishly ask on of his aides why they had all remained silent about these laudable projects. His response was “If you make unnecessary noise about any of these projects and even some other ones that we had commissioned and the people had started benefitting, Oga (referring to Governor Mimiko) will fire you immediately. He believes he is doing what the people elected him to do. Therefore, there is nothing extra ordinary about it”.

I attended a friend’s party recently and accepted and offer of a lift from one of the guests as it was almost midnight. He’s not a boyfriend, though he’s fairly well known to me. On the way home, he started fondling me and putting my hand on his crutch. I told him in no uncertain terms what I thought of his action only for him to drive to a quiet spot and tried to rape me. I fought him off very violently and escaped into the night.

It was a night of style as Christian Designers Hub holds its inaugural Black Tie Dinner in Lagos.

Nigerian Thelma West is a rare gem in the diamond world as a woman in a male-dominated sector with few Africans, despite the continent being the main source of the precious rocks.

Kole Ajayi, a scientist turned lawyer, contested the Ekiti State governorship election in 2014 on the platform of Accord Party. He has now decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Does your man tell you that he loves you or loves spending time with you, but he hasn’t made a real commitment to you yet? If so, you may be feeling a little anxious about the future of your relationship.

An effigy of US presidential contender Donald Trump — a hated figure for many in Mexico — was set ablaze late Saturday in a contemporary twist on a Holy Week ritual.

He didn’t fancy the word “summit”. Similarly, “conference” or “dialogue”did not also seem appropriate to him. And so, he settled for “retreat”, which was a smart way to go to avoid dissent. Smartly also, he tied the retreat to the aprons of the National Economic Council, NEC, a body of governors which he, as Vice President, chairs. Read the insider’s account of how the government of All Progressives Congress, APC, may be searching for new economic ideas.

Wife of Nigeria’s President, Aisha Buhari has reacted to the Peoples Democratic Party that she is not involved in foreign exchange dealings and could not have been a beneficiary of an alleged $22million allocation from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

From oil crash to TSA (Treasury Single Account), to JP Morgan, it has evidently been a trying time for the Nigerian financial sector. It has therefore been a very busy year and a half for the policy managers at the Central Bank of Nigeria. How effectively has the apex bank managed what is arguably one of the most difficult periods in Nigeria’s economic history? Has the bank shown sufficient capacity to manage the crisis in terms of the policy options, given the prevailing policy environment? What are the steps it has taken so far? How have the indicators stacked up in response to the steps taken?

Fire, yesterday, destroyed over 4,000 shops at Abubakar Rimi Market, Sabon Gari, Kano.

That President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted failure in the three elections conducted under his watch only confirms Sunday Vanguard’s insistence that the era of free, fair and credible elections may have gone for good. And whereas the drumbeats of war, which came from both the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were enough to elicit the type of outcome witnessed in the Rivers State re-run elections, the less than efficient activities of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, introduced a dangerous dimension, to further inflame an already combustible situation. This report will show that the President’s condescending disposition towards INEC, is partly responsible for the shambles being witnessed, just as it would point out why, if these inconclusive elections are anything to go by, the APC Federal Government may be suggesting to Nigerians that it is not interested in free, fair and credible elections. Read the facts as they speak for themselves.
