The National Working Committee headed by Ali Modu Sheriff is very desirous of reconciliation and working assiduously towards it but three governors would not let this party be; only three governors are the headache in this whole thing. One of them came out to say that Ali Modu Sheriff and his people are spoilers; let me tell you that Ali Modu Sheriff can never be a spoiler. The only thing Ali Modu Sheriff is spoiling is impunity and it is when impunity is spoilt and dumped in the garbage bin that PDP will rise again.

For the average couple, having sex involves about three or four basic positions, the Missionary, the Spoon, and perhaps the Cowgirl and the Doggy. Some might do a combination of two or three of these positions in a session, while most opt for the Missionary and it variants. Culture, societal norms, religion, personal inhibitions and beliefs play a major role in our attitude towards sex and anything related. For instance, some people believe that a person must never be totally naked, regardless of the situation.

I am very excited, albeit cautiously, because the Federal Government has vowed to tame that monster called child marriage. But I am cautious because the forces government will confront, even if the willpower is there, to win this battle are monstrous. Some of these forces are within government circles. But win we must because there is nothing good about child marriage. In fact, child marriage is paedophilia dressed in legitimate robes.

There was a tap on my window. I wound down a bit out of politeness and curiosity—or stupidity as it turned out—to see who it was. We—my driver and I—were on Town Planning Way in Ilupeju and were about to turn left into Coker road. We had been stopped at the junction by a man in mufti who acted like a traffic warden. A couple of cars were in front of us and a couple were behind. I was taken aback by the sternness in the voice of the man I wound down my glass for. He had appeared from the side.

Very soon they will finish and we will be counted among the people of Enugu state with good roads.

People usually worry when you talk of public service reforms because of retrenchment and so on. I think if people have been very discerning as far as this government is concerned, we’ve been a job creating government, not a job destroying government. I think we are the only state in Nigeria that has hired 5,000 people in its first year in office. We also brought back 800 retired nurses because we have a shortage of nurses in the state. We brought them back to mentor the younger nurses. We have not retrenched since we came.
