Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, his wife, Oluwakemi, and other top government functionaries shed tears of joy on Sunday at the christening of the triplets of the Chairman of the state Asphalt Company, Mr. Niran Jogbodo. Niran and his wife, Fadekemi, had been married for 20 years without a child. The guests and members of the Akure District Headquarters of the Foursquare Gospel Church could not hold back tears as they listened to the couple relating how immediate and extended family members put pressure on them. Niran said despite that, he remained steadfast and vowed never to patronise false prophets and herbalists in their quest to have a child.

The recent explosion of social-media networks on the Internet has brought to the fore deficiency in a very vital element of human relationship: which is close-up- one-on-one contact. Today, so many IT savvy people have formed the habit of going online in search of friendship, companionship, business partnership and sundry relationships. Because of the length of time they spend online, this has left many users of such sites especially youths, with faint knowledge about the dynamics of human nature and or characteristics on a personal one on one level. With this trend comes in various challenges of groping in the dark: because the person one may be dealing with at the other end, may well be phony in real life. Hence, before one should say yes to any partnership proposal, be it for marriage, friendship, or business with anybody;  be it online or offline; it is imperative to look deeply before plunging into the relationship-pool. It should be borne in mind that, in o...

SAW THIS ON MENA UKODOISREADY'S BLOG AND THOUGHT TO SHARE... FYI - Through a rapist's eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts: 1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets. 2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing. 3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered. 4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots. ...

The year 1994 was proclaimed as the International Year of Families by the United Nations. This was a response to changing social and economic structures, which have affected and still affect the structure and stability of family units in many regions of the globe. The International Day of Families, on May 15, is an occasion to reflect on the work started during 1994 and to celebrate the importance of families, people, societies and cultures around the world. It has been held every year since 1995.The International Day of Families, annually held on May 15, celebrates the importance of families and the work started during the International Year of Families. The International Day of Families is a global observance and not a public holiday. Happy International Family Day.As for me,my family is everything to me.

c While on my way home from work yesterday,I noticed an unusual traffic jam on the Jabi bridge.As I looked to know what the chaos was about,I saw a little crowd of people looking over the bridge and into the lake below.I also saw some policemen,a fire service van and some men obviously of the rescue squad,interestingly,these guys seemed unperturbed about whatever the challenge was.I couldn't help stopping to ask questions from observers.Trust my country people nah,everyone had his own  version of the story but one seemed to make sense to me;The time was about 8:15pm,the young man told me that two fishermen were fishing in their boat around 5pm when it suddenly  capsized and all efforts to rescue them proved abortive.In fact ,he said one of the fishermen  had died already and the one alive was now very tired.In  the dark, he showed me what looked like a human  form in  the water.When I asked why the rescue team was  not doing an ything to save the man...

In what look like an expository lecture,the  DG SEC, Ms.Arunma Oteh maintained that the market succumbed to a combination of ailments - sensational lifestyle and financial recklessness, among others.She openly blamed the former DG SEC,Mrs  Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke for the ailing stock market. She released mind blowing figures  of  unaccounted  monies spent during Okereke-Onyiuke's tenure.In her words; “There were incidents of financial skimming, misappropriation, false accounting, misrepresentation and questionable transactions against the former NSE DG.  “For instance, the NSE bought a yacht for N37million and wrote down the book value within one year by recognising it in the books as a gift presented during its 2008 Long Service Award (LSA), yet there are no records of the beneficiary.  “The Exchange also spent N186million on 165 Rolex wrist watches as gifts for awardees out of which only 73 were actually presented to the awardees.

The capital city of Delta state,Asaba came alive on the 26 of april hosting a three day economic summit tagged south south economic summit 2012 for the south south region.Yours truly was in attendance and listened to great minds like Wole Soyinka,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and others speak passionately about not just the Niger delta region but the nation,Nigeria.I personally have come to the conclusion that true federalism is the answer to the numerous Nigerian problems.Let us adopt that cliche again "small is beautiful"!.

The case of Blessing Effiong, a 20-year-old inmate awaiting trial at the female section of Kirikiri Prisons, Lagos, perhaps typifies the injustice suffered by the poor in the Nigerian society. The Akwa-Ibom indigene, who was interviewed by the Attorney-General of the state, Mr. Ade Ipaye, and representatives of the Office of the Public Defender, during a visit to the prisons to evaluate the number of awaiting trial persons there, narrated in detail how she had been incarcerated since the age of 16 because she could not afford the services of a lawyer. Nigeria prison She said, “In 2008, I bought a Starcomms phone for N10,000 in order to start a business centre. A few days later, a man called me and said the phone was stolen from him. I told the man I didn’t know it was stolen. We had an agreement that I should return the phone and he would refund my money. “I gave the man my address but when he got to my place, he said the phone was stolen from him along with his laptop...

Let's look at the true meaning of Easter.It is the celebration of the resurrection of Christ.christians believe that Christ died and rose again that mankind may obtain freedom from sin and death.Call it whatever,I call it the truth because I believe it hook line and sinker!.It feels especially good to know at this time that Christ died for me.i therefore celebrate Jesus as my savior today,tomorrow and forever. I particularly think that this is a time for sober reflection and self examination.Such a huge sacrifice should never be taken for granted in that while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us.I am not preaching at you,I am only reminding you of the obvious:Christ has died,Christ has risen,Christ will come again.Yes!,come lord Jesus!.Happy Easter to you!.

A 10-year-old girl has given birth to a healthy baby daughter in Colombia, becoming one of the world's youngest mothers ever. The preteen mom is a member of the country's indigenous Wayuu tribe, which is allowed autonomy by the government to carry out certain cultural practices -- including, apparently, procreating at an astonishingly young age. After arriving at the hospital 39 weeks pregnant and in "enormous pain," the girl delivered her 5 lb. baby via C-section. The hospital's director told a radio interviewer he'd seen similar cases among Wayuu girls, remarking, "At a time when [the girls] should be playing with dolls, they go to having to take care of a baby. It's shocking." Source: msn now

...And so I met these pupils on their way home.They have just received their 2nd term result.The guy on the left took the sixth position,the one on the right took the 3rd position and the guy in the middle took the 2nd position.Little wonder his broad smile.I tried to give them money just to say well done but all three refused and nothing I said or did changed their mind and I knew in their little minds,apart from obeying mom and dad,they would have been thinking "beware,ritualist!".Chai!,what our society has impressed even in the minds of innocent ones like these... Anyway,well done friends.
