My Grandpa married 5 wives and had 19 children and there was no time any of the wives packed out of his house according to what my Dad told me. I don’t mean to scare you but the Number 1 reason women cheat on their husband is lack of sexual satisfaction. That is why […]

Declaring a State of Emergency in the throws in Nigerian Athletics ,Nigeria, over the years, has been predominantly regarded as a sprinting nation, going by the exploits of some of the country’s sprinters on the world stage, talking about the likes of Innocent Egbunike, Falilat Ogunkoya, Mary Onyali, Blessing Okagbare and several others. The country has also produced exceptional jumpers in the ilk of Ajayi Agbebaku, Yussuf Alli and Chioma Ajunwa, who won Nigeria’s first ever Olympic Gold medal, having dominated the women’s Long Jump at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

I thought I would stay away from writing on the modern-day slave trade/human trafficking tragedy that the world has belatedly woken up to, because sometimes, you want to keep your anti-tidal views to yourself.

The first time I came in close contact with General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma (retd.) was February 10, 2010 at the Protea Hotel in Asokoro, Abuja. It was on the occasion of the NGO consultative meeting organised by the TY Danjuma Foundation. It was the first substantive interaction that the Foundation would have with actors from across Nigeria.

A MEMBER of the House of Representatives, Mr. Daniel Reyenieju in this interview speaks on the tenure of the Chairman of Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC,   Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, national convention, and the forthcoming local government election in Delta State among other issues of national relevance.

With his formal return to the PDP recently; Atiku Abubakar has invariably birthed a political insomnia  in the camp of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). And whether the party admits or not, Atiku’s decision to return ‘home’ is a huge loss to President Muhammadu Buhari and his political associates; some of whom are likely to jump ship in the months ahead.

Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were last night bracing themselves for fallouts from the most competitive elective convention in the party’s 18-year history with about 92 persons jostling for 21 positions.

It is yet another Yuletide and petroleum products scarcity resurfaced in parts of the country during the week.  Was it really a supply gap rectified by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. It is always harrowing and horrifying the sight of fuel queues and motorists on vigil; like the eve of some festivals and holy days, spent in prayer.  The management of the corporation promptly responded; it did not degenerate to similar situations previously where community search parties were conducted by petrol consumers to find benevolent marketers that may sell the elusive commodity.

In 2015, Governor Fayose told us about his 74 year old mother and her diapers.  He was desperate to paint the picture that a 73-year old would be too frail, too demented, to be president.  He bought front pages of  some national newspapers. He made  Buhari  the butt of deathly geriatric  jokes. In a few months, he would  return to the soap box.  Fayose would ( tell people to vote  for  a 73-year-old Atiku. Atiku would be 73 in 2019.  I  believe Atiku is fit. But  the Fayoses of the PDP would have to repackage  their tales.

Men who go bald on the crown of the head also have their risk of heart disease increased by a half, say scientists.
